Chapter 248 Five Roads
Choose one from five, and each one may correspond to an enemy. This may make others hesitate, but Kira was born in "Fairy Tail", so there is only one word to describe this situation: rush!
Seeing that the others had no intention of choosing, Kira turned around and walked towards the middle road: "As the boss, I will set an example and go first!"
Before leaving, several people clearly heard him mumbling to himself: "I hope I can get the multiple-choice questions right this time..."
As Kira entered, the metal door of the middle passage quickly merged with the wall and disappeared, just like the main door when he entered the villa.
The others looked at each other and quickly made a decision.
Urutia and Jellal walked into the two adjacent passages of Kira, one on the left and one on the right; as for the remaining people, Dark Night, Sawyer, and Sono walked on the far left, and Eric and Richard walked on the far right.
As the eight people walked in one after another, the villa hall quickly returned to calm.
In fact, Jellal and Urrutia didn't really want to play this kind of house-like game with Kira. Although they were not much older than Eric and others, they were much more mature inside, and what they were pursuing now was not freedom.
Like Gerard, he was doing it to atone for his sins.
He has turned over a new leaf and now has zero tolerance for all evil forces, so when faced with this organization that exudes "suspicion" from the inside out, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation;
As for Urrutia, although she had communicated with Gray, Leon and others about "Uru" in "Nirvana", her heart knot has not been completely untied, and she herself has not completely escaped from the "Devil's Heart". There are other reasons why she followed Kira here.
Originally, she had given up completely when it came to reporting back to Hades about the "attack on Demisool Academy".
Five people came out, one died, three were arrested, and she was the only one left safe and sound. Who would believe that there was no trick? Could she honestly say that she did not participate in the war?
If she really did this, she would probably be beaten up by Hades in the next second!
If she wanted Hades to not hold her accountable for her "deserting" and "disappearing", she had to bring back something valuable! But she couldn't really use skin care products to atone for her sins as Kira said, right? There was no way to die like this!
Just at this moment, Kira suddenly said that he wanted to rob the Dragon Slayer Research Institute. Urrutia thought to himself: Isn't this a ready-made thing to atone for the crime?
As long as I can get the Dragon-Slaying Magic Crystal, I can atone for my sins, right?
On one side is the wizard taught by magic books; on the other side is the magic crystal that is rare, unique, and can quickly train a second-generation dragon slayer wizard. No matter how you think about it, the latter is more valuable!
After all, the book of lost magic is still in the guild headquarters, in Hades' hands. If the wizard is gone, he can teach and train him again. Anyway, with the "Devil's Heart", the last thing Hades lacks is time, and he can teach the same magic to several people.
But the Dragon Slayer Crystal is not so easy to get! Not to mention, with just a simple implantation, you can quickly become a Dragon Slayer!
Although the previous operation failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice, the attack on the academy to seize magic failed and instead lost four main forces, but even if Urrutia only got a dragon-slaying crystal, the guild did not seem to have suffered too much loss.
Dragon Slayer Magic is one of the Lost Not to mention, it can also add some new collections to the warehouse of 'Devil's Heart'!
…
It was a long and boring passage. The deeper Kira went, the more amazed he was at the structure of the castle.
"How big is this castle?! I've been walking in one direction, but this has already exceeded the area outside, right?"
At this moment, he thought of the strange things that happened along the way, and suddenly he understood.
"So that's how it is . The forest we saw earlier was built on top of this castle! That's why there are such unusual terrain changes and ridiculously tall trees, because all of this is man-made!"
Through drugs or technology, the trees are grown to heights that they shouldn't be, and the soil layer is thickened to cover up the underground space. The only exit from this space is the mechanical villa.
After realizing this, Kira became even more curious about this place.
Is it really necessary to use such a big fuss just to study the Dragon Slayer Crystal? Or is there really some secret in this "Dragon Slayer Research Institute"?
…
As Kira continued to go deeper, the people walking in the other four passages gradually understood the peculiarities of this place, but at the same time, they were also attracted by the changing scenes around them.
In the first passage, An Ye, Sawyer and Kong Nai were walking in it, one in front and two behind, and they were all extremely alert.
There were bones all over the ground under my feet. I couldn't tell what kind of beast they belonged to, but each bone was thicker and longer than a human arm, with signs of being eaten. There were countless bone fragments and debris on the ground. It seemed as if countless wronged souls were moaning in my ears along the way.
"This place is so scary...don't walk so fast!"
Sono's voice was trembling as she spoke, and she was shivering as she hugged her half-exposed chest. She cursed Kira in her heart again. If he hadn't taken the Star Spirit Key away, she wouldn't have felt so insecure!
Sawyer kicked away the huge bone in front of him and said, "This place is really weird! Is it a cemetery for some group of monsters? But they don't look like the same kind of monsters..."
…
Compared with the two of them, An Ye, who was walking in front, was not panicked at all. He walked forward on his own. His eyes were still sleepy, and he looked like he had just woken up, without any tension on his face.
Seeing his appearance, Sawyer secretly complained: "This guy is not nervous..."
A similar scene appeared in the passage on the far right, except that instead of bones lying everywhere, there were corpses of monsters.
But these dead monsters are much more terrifying than the road of bones on the left.
There were countless tiger, wolf, and rat-shaped monsters of all sizes, their bodies covered in blue, purple, and black, and their flesh, rotting and infested with maggots and viruses, filled the air with a foul stench.
This scene made Richard, who had just thrown himself into the arms of "love", feel nauseous: "Ugh...what is this?"
Even Eric, who could eat poison, found it difficult to look directly at the scene in front of him. After just one look, he immediately covered his own and the venomous snake concubine's mouths and noses: "It's just like a petri dish for viruses!"
"What kind of people live here?!"
He originally thought that this was a research institute that produced dragon-slaying crystals. No matter how crazy the people here were, they should be researchers on the technology side. And wasn't the castle they came in from full of mechanical style? Unexpectedly, he found out now that they were researchers on the biology side!
Richard couldn't stand the smell around him, so he took the opportunity to take a breath and shouted, "Eric, can't you eat the toxins? Eat them quickly!"
However, his suggestion was met with Eric's angry rebuke: "Don't be ridiculous! Can this be considered a toxin?! Even if it is, I won't eat something that looks disgusting!"
He only eats the snake venom of his pet! No one can persuade him!
The venomous snake Chuberios hissed, as if to support his master.
