Seeing this, Gecko had no choice but to stop where he was and watch Claudiu walk through the corridor into the deeper ruins.
…
"My goodness, Silk, Hikari, and so many guards... they have upgraded the security measures to such a strict level in one go. These guys are really working hard now..."
Sitting in her seat in the library on the King's Campus, Dorothy watched the images conveyed by the corpse doll and thought in her heart that she had expected those guys in the Eight-Pointed Nest to upgrade the security measures to protect the ruins, and now it seems that the upgrade is indeed a bit harsh.
First of all, the current spider silk corridor is not on the same line as before, which means that this is a re-arranged spider silk corridor, not the original one, which means that Nephthys may not be able to pass safely. In addition, they have installed additional illumination lights. Any extraordinary spirit that has not been registered will be triggered once it is illuminated. If my corpse doll passes by and is illuminated, it will continue to consume the "shadow" in the barrier ring. In addition, there are permanent guards to prevent anyone from making small moves.
"It seems that these guys are really trying their best to ensure that the ceremony can be held smoothly in two days."
Dorothy thought so. According to the current security level, even though her small corpse doll was protected by the Ring of Concealment, it would definitely not be able to sneak in. Not to mention how much "shadow" she currently had to resist the light of the bright lights, the spider silk would trigger an early warning as long as it made physical contact, and the Ring of Concealment would be useless.
"It seems that I can foresee... When the ceremony comes, the security here will be so tight... It seems that I can't sneak in secretly at all. Do I have to break in head-on? This risk is too great..."
Looking at the tight security measures at the site of the ritual, Dorothy couldn't help but think that there was only one way to the ritual site on the second floor of the ruins, and it was easy for the Eight-pointed Nest to defend. In any case, Dorothy and her team were not strong enough compared to the Eight-pointed Nest, so a frontal breakthrough was a completely impossible plan. They had to use tricks and play dirty tricks, which was Dorothy's familiar field.
'So, how should we take this opportunity?'
Dorothy sat in her seat thinking, and after a while, an idea came to her mind.
"Maybe... we can try this..."
Muttering, Dorothy stood up from her seat and left the library.
…
Outside the King's Campus, in a forest somewhere on the bank of Qingxi River.
In the afternoon, Dorothy walked through the woods outside the school. In front of her were two corpses helping her to clear the dense bushes and move forward. Dorothy followed behind them all the way.
Finally, after passing through thick bushes, Dorothy came to a moss-covered boulder hill about seven or eight meters high. She asked the two corpses to step aside and walked to a flat stone wall on the boulder. After regaining her consciousness, she saw a scribbled scratch on the wall. After Dorothy stared at it for a while, the scratch was distorted and turned into Putin letters.
"To the Hall of Stairs"
Dorothy stretched out her hand and touched the words above. Suddenly, there was a sound of rocks shaking all around. Amid the slight vibration, a stone door opened in the huge rock wall in front of Dorothy, and there was darkness inside the door.
Looking at the darkness in front of her, Dorothy picked up the spare gas lamp and walked in. After looking around, she saw two statues of familiar hermits, one of them holding a book and the other holding an armillary sphere.
That’s right, this is the exit that Dorothy came out of the secret room in the ruins. This exit is hidden outside the campus, in the dense forest on the river bank. Dorothy is the first person to open this secret door in thousands of years.
"So it can be opened directly from the outside... In this way, I can go directly from here to the bottom of the ruins, and then go back up from the bottom to the second floor to the ritual site."
Looking at the stairs going down in front of her, Dorothy murmured that after mastering this secret passage that only the Beyonders of "Initiate" could master, she would be able to enter the ruins from the front, then outflank the rear from here and attack the ritual site from below.
"However, before that, we still need to deal with the ruins and poisonous gas on the first floor..."
Muttering, Dorothy took out the magic box, summoned it again, handed her gas lamp to a corpse doll, and asked him to lead the team down.
Then, Dorothy controlled the four corpses from a long distance on the ground and went down to the place where Dorothy advanced to the black level, that deep secret room in the ruins. Then, she walked along a corridor from the secret room to the secret door that Dorothy opened for the first time. Then, through the connection between the spiritual thread and the corpses, she opened the security door again and officially re-entered the first level.
The moment the secret door opened, a large amount of purple-red poisonous fog rushed towards Dorothy's corpse. Fortunately, people who had died were not afraid of these things. They were zombies that only needed a "cup" to move, so they rushed into the poisonous fog and continued to move forward.
Soon, Dorothy found a corridor collapsed by the dragon's roar. Dorothy controlled the corpse to check and found that there were not many large stones in the ruins. There were only some small and medium-sized gravel, which could be cleaned up!
"Heh, it seems... this wave can give them a sneak attack..."
Standing at the exit, sensing the situation underground, Dorothy murmured with a smile.
…
In the following period of time, Dorothy completely became the foreman of the zombie construction team, remotely controlling the zombies underground to carry out obstacle clearance work from the ground.
In order to ensure that nothing went wrong and to demonstrate her professionalism, Dorothy went to the library on the King's Campus to borrow several books on mine operations, tunnel excavation, and first aid for mine accidents. After spending an hour reading several books, Dorothy became a theoretical expert in underground tunnel excavation and civil engineering. Then she went to the city to buy a full set of equipment for her miners, wearing safety helmets, carrying carts, shovels, and support materials to work underground.
Under Dorothy's command, the zombie construction team carried out their work in an orderly manner. They kept moving and shoveling away small and medium-sized rubble, opening up a path through the ruins and moving forward. During this period, they also built supports overhead to stabilize the structure and prevent further collapse.
As for the large-scale rockfalls, Dorothy did not touch them. Firstly, she was afraid that the damage would cause a new round of collapse by damaging the structure. Secondly, she was afraid that the noise from the large-scale rockfalls would alarm the people at the ceremony site above. Fortunately, there were not many large-scale rockfalls, so they could be dealt with without any treatment.
The work of Dorothy's construction team is to move small and medium-sized fallen rocks, shovel away fine sand, and build scaffolds, which does not cause much noise. The second and third floors of the ruins are thirty to forty meters apart, and there are layers in between. Dorothy is not afraid that the noise will be transmitted to the upper floors.
In addition, Dorothy asked the corpse to collect a bottle of poison gas sample and sent it to Beverly for identification, wanting to know what effective anti-poison measures there were. However, to her surprise, Beverly could not identify the poison gas either, because she was an engineer, not a chemist, and her major was not quite right. So in the end, she took the bottle of poison gas sample to find her master, and according to her, she knew an expert in this field.
However, Dorothy also spent another 100 pounds on door fees, and suddenly she only had 10 pounds left. Dorothy was shocked by how poor she was.
'Damn it, this operation must succeed! If you don't give me some money, I can't pay the rent!'
After leaving Beverly's house, Dorothy cried out in her heart as she looked at the only 10 pounds in cash left in her hand.
