Chapter 428 Urgent Urgency
At the same time, in front of the bronze gate on the 20th floor, the president of the Mutual Aid Association, Luo Kai, who was still only a second-level apprentice, stood expressionless.
Suddenly, an apprentice's voice came from the end of the corridor.
"I saw the Fireball technique!"
Hearing the long-awaited signal, Luo Kai raised the corners of his mouth exaggeratedly.
“Hehehe,” he laughed strangely and looked at the bronze door in front of him, “The mentor sent me a signal, so now, I will satisfy your appetite.”
“Hehehe.”
“Hehehe.”
“Hehehe.”
Suddenly, the same strange laughter sounded behind Luo Kai.
Behind him stood a group of low-level apprentices with numb expressions and smiles at the same angle on their faces.
After laughing, they moved their feet, with even the angles of their joints bent at the same time, like puppets, walking towards the bronze gate step by step.
As the low-level apprentices approached, a powerful oppressive force began to emanate from the bronze gate.
Several low-level apprentices closest to the gate fell to the ground with a thud.
But they quickly got up again, tears of fear streaming from the corners of their eyes, but they had to keep moving forward.
Even Luo Kai, who was standing behind them, felt the oppressive force, but he was not afraid. Instead, he was extremely excited.
"Hehehe, let me see what's in the mezzanine?"
Dozens of apprentices stood in front of the gate in a pile, stretched out their arms, and pushed the bronze gate open a little.
Push open this small gap, and the colorful world behind the door will appear before everyone.
Before they could recover from their amazement, they saw pale, slender arms reaching out from behind the bronze gate. They greedily caressed the low-level apprentices who were smiling and crying, and pulled them into the bronze gate like affectionate lovers.
Several low-level apprentices finally struggled to break free from the control. They shouted unconsciously and tried to squeeze out of the crowd.
But Luo Kai, who was standing at the back, raised his hands, and several transparent thin lines were faintly visible at his fingertips.
After the thin line appeared, several low-level apprentices who had broken free from their restraints out of fear were forced to turn around and move closer to the gate.
Their eyes were crying, but the corners of their mouths were raised to the limit.
Seeing that the slender arms had pulled all the apprentices near the bronze gate into the gate, the colorful world inside the gate became more dazzling, the aura it emitted became more terrifying, and even strange black spots appeared. Luo Kai gradually felt the pressure.
He smiled and shook his head, "It's too dangerous. Forget it, I won't play with you guys anymore."
Luo Kai retreated from the 20th floor in two steps, leaving those desperate low-level apprentices to watch themselves being pulled into a completely unimaginable world.
After leaving the 20th floor, Luo Kai clapped his hands and walked excitedly on tiptoe.
"You must be starving after all these years, right? Come on, eat, this is all prepared for you. Only when you are full can you party~"
The same scene was happening in front of the bronze gate on the first floor of the East Tower, except that the one leading the team here was another female third-level apprentice.
This female apprentice never looked at Luo Kai straight in the eye before, but in private she completely obeyed Luo Kai's orders without any dissatisfaction.
On the other side of the bronze gate, Heywood, who was sitting in the first warehouse, was looking at a group of snails with duck feet running around on the ground with a bit of disappointment.
Suddenly he felt something strange.
"Who dares to invade the warehouse while the instructor is conducting experiments?"
Heywood's frustration immediately turned into anger, but he was an introvert and was able to maintain a calm appearance even when he was angry.
He walked quickly out of the first warehouse, crossed the long corridor, and came to the bronze gate.
When he found out that the bronze door had been pushed open, Heywood became even angrier and cursed in his heart, "You're looking for death!"
But when he approached the door, he found that the colorful and distorted world inside was almost overflowing from the door frame.
Having worked in the first warehouse for more than ten years, Haywood had some familiarity with the mezzanine and had a way to close the door in advance.
But just as he was about to go forward and restore the door to its original state, he heard Heidi scream behind him.
"Heidi?" After being reminded by his sister, Heywood immediately stopped and looked at the bronze gate again.
This time, he saw many more dark figures vaguely visible inside the gate.
Haywood began to tremble all over.
"Who is it? Who sent so many people into the mezzanine? Aren't they afraid of the vengeful spirits in the mezzanine rioting?"
For some reason, when he thought of the mezzanine riot, a vague fear welled up in Haywood's heart.
For a moment, he stood there, not daring to get closer.
On the other side, Keli ran directly to Professor Gudo's laboratory panting.
Her hair was now much shorter than before, from shoulder length to just ear length.
She used all the golden hair containing metallic energy to fend off Jero's pursuit from behind her.
Although Keli is about to be promoted to level three, she is still not as good as the top level three apprentice Jero.
But for some reason, Jero didn't seem to be pursuing Keli seriously.
He put his hands in his pockets and walked leisurely. When faced with the metal hair that Keli used to block herself, he just turned his head away.
In this way, the two of them came to Professor Guduo's laboratory, one in front and one behind.
Entering the laboratory, Keli immediately glanced at the long table in the room, where the antidote she had prepared for the soul toxin was placed.
Although it is not the antidote for the toxin that she had just strengthened a few days ago, if it can be given to Thor, it will definitely greatly alleviate his symptoms.
"Star grass, soul-eating ants, solvent elimination..." Keli rushed to the experimental table and quickly searched through the things inside. At the same time, she tried her best to mobilize her brain and think of the antidote for the enhanced version of soul toxin.
But after searching for a few seconds, she couldn't find the antidote she had secretly prepared!
"It's not there." A sigh came from the corner of the room. "You are so panicked. You haven't seen me for such a long time. It seems that Thor has been poisoned."
Keli immediately straightened her back and looked towards the direction where the voice came from with a serious expression.
At the end of the room, there was a person sitting, and although she ran in in a hurry, she didn't expect that she didn't notice him at all.
It's Billy! Keli has never seen Billy participate in any research related to the resurrection experiment. He is concentrating on the experiments related to soul toxins.
Even the soul toxin that Kelly improved was first made by Billy.
But now from what Billy said, he seemed to know a lot about Gudo's mentor's conspiracy.
Could it be that Billy was also involved in the mentors' rebellion? Keli bit her lips lightly. If that was the case, it would be difficult for her to get the antidote for the soul toxin.
At this moment, Jero also appeared outside the laboratory door.
"Hey, are you back to the lab? It seems like you like it here very much. How about dying here?" Jero said with a smile, with a dim arc of electricity flashing in the palm of his hand.
Kelly leaned against the experimental table, looking at Jero and Billy at the same time, and a layer of golden color gradually appeared on the skin on her face.
"Jero!" Billy suddenly spoke, interrupting the atmosphere of an impending fight.
Jero was obviously aware of Billy's strength. Although his opponent might not be that strong in a fight, his various poisons were hard to defend against.
Jero didn't want to confront Billy unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Why? You want to do it yourself?" Jero's eyes moved between Kelly and Billy, gradually revealing interest. "Then I'll give it to you. Just don't let her go back to the garden."
After saying that, the electric arc on Jero's palm dissipated. He clasped his hands behind his head, hummed a strange tune, and left.
Before Jero's figure completely disappeared, Keli immediately looked around.
Even if she really wanted to fight Billy, she had to find out where the antidote was first.
Billy didn't do anything and let Kelly search.
Finally, Keli's gaze fixed on the corner of the room.
There were two spherical glass containers, one large and one small. The small one still contained beta toxin, but the large one had something else in it.
Keli was familiar with its appearance.
That was the antidote for the soul toxin! And it was the one she prepared herself! Keli immediately rushed forward and was about to take out her own antidote.
"Kelly!" Billy, who was sitting on the other side, called out to her, "Don't give Thor the antidote. Just stay here honestly. I promise that no matter who succeeds in the end, I can take you out of the wizard tower safely."
Kelly froze her hand in the air, slowly turned her head, and then looked at Billy as if he was... a fool.
"What did you say?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Billy lowered his head and did not look at Kelly, so he naturally did not notice the "complex" emotions in her eyes.
"Thor has been targeted by Anze and Gudo for a long time. Don't risk your life for him. You are a genius and you still have a lot of room to grow..."
Billy usually doesn't like to talk much, and this was the first time he talked so much to Kelly.
But Keli didn't want to listen anymore halfway through, so she simply turned her head and pressed her fingers directly on the spherical glass to draw runes.
When her fingertips passed over the last symbol, the spherical glass was opened.
Keli laughed excitedly. Although the small sealing magic circle was different from the original one, it was not difficult for her at all.
She reached in and grabbed the antidote.
"Oh——" Billy sighed.
Kelly immediately tensed up. Maybe Billy wanted to wait until she got the antidote before attacking her? Kelly was ready to fight!
Billy is not as good at fighting as Jero just now, but he is confident that he can escape with the antidote if he confronts Kelly head-on.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to pull her hand out of the glass, she suddenly felt something sharp against her wrist.
Seeing that Keli had stopped moving, Billy said slowly, "The syringe inside is already filled with your alpha radiation toxin. If you want to take out the antidote, the toxin will be injected into your body immediately. As you know, there is still no antidote for radiation toxin."
Keli sneered and looked back at Billy, "So you were waiting for me here."
Billy looked up at the angry Keli and said with a complicated heart, "It turns out you are not so reckless. It seems you are really anxious. This trap was not set by me. It was specially left for you by Teacher Gudo. He knows that you have a good relationship with Thor, and he may come here to get the antidote to save him."
Billy explained for Gudo.
"But he doesn't really want to kill you. As long as you stay here for a day, the needle will retract, and then you can move around freely with the antidote. This is also to save you."
Billy did not remind Kelly of the trap in the glass container, and he did not want Kelly to return to the battlefield.
Keli took a shaky breath and looked down at her arm thrust through the glass.
The needle against her wrist was transparent, perhaps the effect of some kind of witchcraft, but Keli could clearly feel a sharp object against her skin.
She looked at her wrist, but in her mind she saw the image of Thor's skin slowly melting away.
"What about you? If I leave, will you hit me?" Keli's voice softened, but her back remained stiffly straight.
Billy smiled and said, "No."
He patted the chair under him and said, "In fact, in order to prevent me from causing trouble during the process, they also put me in confinement. Before dark, I can't leave the one-meter area around this chair."
"So that's how it is." Keli nodded, her eyes empty, as if she had accepted her fate.
Seeing this, Billy said hesitantly: "If you feel bored...we can talk about your radiation toxins. I have always been interested in it, maybe we can discuss it...Keli, what are you doing?!"
Billy was shocked! He was talking excitedly when he found that Kelly suddenly took her hand out of the glass container, and her palm was still tightly holding the bottle of antidote.
Although her wrist was covered with a layer of metal protection, there was still a black needle hole on it.
Billy didn't know what to say. His lips were trembling. He could only watch as Kelly took out the antidote, grabbed a bunch of materials from the lab table, and turned around to run out of the lab.
"You're trying to kill yourself!" When Keli was about to step out of the room, he finally shouted out his surprise.
Keli paused, turned her head slightly, and said calmly, "Sorry, I can't wait. I have to pee urgently."
As soon as she finished speaking, Keli's figure disappeared in the corridor.
It can be seen that she is really anxious.
Very urgent...
Outside the wizard tower, in the small garden, when Thor saw Anze release a fireball into the sky, he knew that Anze might have a backup plan.
He immediately thought of Luo Kai who had disappeared somewhere.
"We can't wait any longer. Maybe we can try to force the detoxification."
Thor is not without a way to deal with this horrible soul poison.
This soul toxin only targets Thor's skin, but that doesn't mean Thor's soul energy can't attack actively! He decided to use soul fishing to attack his own skin!
Thor's skin is made of soul-eating ester, which contains a rare material, which is Thor's own soul, so he is targeted by soul toxins.
As for the spirit-eating ester, he did not give it to senior Byron and Haywood, and he did not have the formula for it to anyone else.
But there is another person - Anze. He once broke Thor's fingers and observed him closely. As a mentor who is proficient in materials science, he may have discovered some of the secrets of the spirit-eating ester.
With a plan in mind, Thor tried to form gray transparent tentacles on his palms.
The tentacle was poisoned as soon as it took shape and quickly softened, but Thor's eyes lit up.
“There’s hope!”
He made all the skin covered by his clothes quickly grow tiny octopus tentacles.
These octopus tentacles don’t grow very long, but they grow fast and can easily take shape.
Then, before the small tentacles softened due to the poison, they quickly "bent down" and stuck tightly to Thor's skin, and began to absorb the spiritual power inside and the soul toxins wrapped in it!
"It works!" Thor's eyes flickered with joy. He could already feel his skin melting slower and slower.
Just hold on a little longer...
"Hmm!" Suddenly, a muffled groan came from Gorsa.
Thor looked over immediately and found that the riot in the other party, which had been slightly suppressed, had worsened again! Streams of black blood flowed out without cost, and soon formed a small pool of black water on the ground.
And Yura, who was holding him tightly, smiled and said, "Kill me..."
She pushed harder to push herself into Gorza's wound, wanting to taint the man completely.
Anze helped Rum stand up again.
"I know that the Wizard Tower is the trump card of your Glowing Family. With it, you can't be killed under normal circumstances. So until just now, you probably didn't think you would die today, right?"
Anze staggered forward two steps, and new dense black nematodes fell from his body and struggled to crawl towards Gorsa.
"But have you ever thought about this: if one day your wizard tower riots first, is polluted, and loses control, can you still rely on it to eliminate the pollution, or... detonate it and perish with us?"
The first chapter is 4,500 words, and the second chapter will be written after 6 o'clock in the evening. I don't know how many thousands of words it will be, but I have to finish it anyway.
