Chapter 1032: It Turns Out the Danger Is Here

It Turns Out the Danger Is Here

The underground space was not small, and Cheng Shi's speed was also fast.

There was no obstruction ahead, and he thought while sprinting.

The investigation being too smooth also made him full of doubts. From the beginning of the trial to now, he had hardly taken a wrong step. This feeling was like being pushed by someone, but who could this pusher behind the scenes be?

Teammates?

No, they didn't seem to have any problems.

Hu Xuan went without saying; it was impossible to pit himself. People like Meng Youfang and Chen Yi, although they couldn't be speculated with normal logic, were far "simpler" than ordinary people, because their malice would only be placed on the surface.

Fang Yuan was possible. Although the rhythm of the trial had been led by himself, the figure of this 【Order】 believer appeared at every pushing node. But based on his observation of him, this player was absolutely not bad, and he didn't seem to have any desire or covetousness for 【Truth】.

The remaining one was full of covetousness for 【Truth】, but Wei Zhi's thoughts were also easy to guess. This president of the Reason Association, who was deep in the city, was probably waiting for himself and the great scholars to "lose both sides," and then sit back and reap the benefits?

Although he was here to assist in the experiment, for the great scholars who wanted to drive out the intruders, how could a strange outsider be trusted?

So conflict was inevitable, and Wei Zhi might be waiting for the conflict to break out.

What he coveted should be the knowledge of the Scholarly Chair Association and that "omnipotent" 【Truth Ritual】, right?

Thinking this way, he did have the possibility of hindering the experiment. After all, if the great scholars' experiment went smoothly, it meant he would never be able to fish in troubled waters.

But Wei Zhi was more like a disruptor than a layout person.

So who laid out this game?

It couldn't be Galiusha. This idea was too absurd. If Galiusha could control the Scholarly Chair Association, she would have already achieved her wish and won the victory. Then why did she do these illusions? In this period of history, there was no enemy worth her treating so solemnly. If she had to find a target, it was only the players...

But is it possible for the npc target of a trial to be players?

Cheng Shi's thoughts were a bit messy, but no matter what, understanding the situation of the experiment was the first priority.

He ran with all his might, and soon it became brighter and brighter. After turning a corner, the familiar 【Truth】 experimental field broke into his vision again. There were still many scholars running and busy in the passage before the experimental field. Cheng Shi "couldn't dodge" for a moment and crashed into a scholar.

But this scholar was clearly not one of the great scholars of the Scholarly Chair Association. He was just an ordinary scholar, probably an assistant for this experiment.

It seemed that the Scholarly Chair Association didn't just escape by themselves, but also took away many students. As for whether these students were assistants or fuel, it was hard to say, but it finally gave Cheng Shi a chance to drill a loophole.

Thus, he immediately rolled on the ground holding the scholar. While rolling, the scholar's clothes were worn on Cheng Shi, and the scholar's person was knocked out and stuffed into a corner.

The experimental field was filled with various roaring sounds. The scholars in the passage heard the movement behind them and just glanced at it. Seeing a peer getting up and apologizing in embarrassment, they just thought the other party was tripped by the pipes all over the floor, so they didn't care.

In this way, Cheng Shi wore the clothes, took the record book, and walked into this huge experimental space openly.

This experimental field was too big. It didn't look like an underground space in reality, but more like a base embedded between reality and the void. The entire experimental field was spherical, like a star core. In the center of the experimental field floated two figures, one big and one small. Their bodies were connected with various pipeline passages, and colorful lights were overflowing in the entire space.

The top three great scholars of the Scholarly Chair Association stood on the side in a triangular formation. They constantly operated the control consoles in front of them, and other scholars behind them recorded various experimental data seriously. Everyone had a hint of inexplicable expectation on their faces. Clearly, the preparation work for the experiment had reached the final stage.

No one found that a scholar had been replaced. Cheng Shi looked around the experimental field unscrupulously, but the more he looked, the more frightened he became, because he found that the three great scholars presiding over the experiment were puppets, just like the great scholars who had intercepted him in the passage before.

Only these ordinary experimental assistants looked like real people, but the strangest thing was that they didn't feel there was any problem with these puppet-like great scholars.

Could this be the means of the Scholarly Chair Association, manipulating themselves for absolute safety?

It's not impossible.

Cheng Shi frowned and continued to observe. The experiment seemed to be going smoothly. The two figures in mid-air were clearly the shell of 【Wasteland Walker】 and Pelaya who had been caught. This great scholar who had betrayed the Scholarly Chair Association had long lost consciousness at this time. If her reflection was right, this should be a retracing experiment using 【Wasteland Walker】 and herself as space-time connections.

It's just that I don't know who exactly the person who retraced to the past to stop Pelaya or Galiusha was.

Just thinking about this, Volunt on the experimental table spoke.

"The intruders have discovered us and are seizing the passage. The experiment must be accelerated. All departments in position, prepare to enter the standby stage."

The other two great scholars responded one after another, and various positions in the experimental field also started to report real-time status.

"Class I experimental data normal, space-time connection coefficient stable."

"Class II acceleration cross-validation passed, has entered the standby stage."

"The first experimental echelon is ready, the reserve echelon is ready, the first experimental echelon is waiting, 48 people in the formation, no one is absent."

Volunt nodded: "Cadil, open the door."

A scholar at the bottom of the experimental field responded, and soon pulled open a small door beside him. Not long after, several rows of scholars wearing hoods shouted the slogan "Eradicate fallacies, restore 【Truth】" and filed out, standing on the platform at the bottom of the experimental field.

Cheng Shi had always thought that it was just an equipment platform, but he didn't expect that it was the "starting point" of the retracing experiment.

He naturally knew that the retracing experiment required people to execute tasks. In that trial in Rosna before, weren't those "lucky players" the ones who ran into him like this?

It's just that he didn't expect the Scholarly Chair Association to send so many people back. It seemed that the great scholars had bet all their hopes on this experiment.

Looking at it this way, normal experimental data, stable advancement speed, and redundant personnel configuration, plus three great scholars presiding, this experiment seemed to have no loopholes.

The biggest loophole was probably that he had mixed in.

But the smoother it was, the more uneasy Cheng Shi's heart became. He always felt that there must be a demon if things were abnormal. The failure of history meant that the experiment must have had a flaw. Where would that flaw come from?

The scholars who retraced to the past didn't complete their tasks?

Possible, but how could so many people...

Oh no!

If he could mix in like this, why couldn't others?

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ran toward the departure platform.

The abrupt movement aroused the vigilance of the scholars around. The scholars guarding the platform stopped him directly and raised their staves at him.

Cheng Shi frowned, sprinkled a handful of dice onto the platform, and shouted at Volunt above the experimental field:

"There is a problem with the personnel configuration. There is a traitor in the first echelon. The experiment is dangerous!"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers and swapped to the platform, grabbing the scholars one by one and sizing them up.

This scene clearly exceeded the security expectations of the experimental field. The scholars guarding around swarmed up, and even the first echelon scholars reacted and started to surround Cheng Shi.

However, Cheng Shi didn't panic at all. He dodged the scholars' capture flexibly and continued to observe. Seeing that this scholar with abnormal behavior didn't look like he was making trouble but was really like catching a traitor, Volunt's eyes narrowed, and he decided decisively:

"Everyone stay in place, level 1 alert, the first echelon gives up resistance, the security group goes on stage for secondary inspection."

"Who is your student, and who told you there is a traitor here!"

Cheng Shi didn't respond, because at this time he was grabbing the arm of a first echelon team member, smiling happily.

He reached out and pulled open the hood of that scholar, and when that chestnut-colored, flamboyant curly hair came into view, Cheng Shi's heartstring, which had been tight, finally relaxed by half.

It turns out the danger came from here!
