Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 279: Arm, Crown, and Hourglass

Su Lun recorded in his notebook everything he was going to do now.

Because he is not sure that even if he has his own "strategy", other variables will definitely not happen.

After all, what if this isn't the first time he's "died" in this space?

There is a first time, there may be a second time, a third time

so many times.

The "self" who left notes may not necessarily be a success.

It may also be the only one that the current self on this timeline can see.

Record it in detail, maybe next time, it can give me a chance in another timeline.

With this idea together, the thoughts are endless.

"No wonder it is one of the supreme laws of the 'Law of Time', it is really the most puzzling."

Su Lun collected the increasingly complicated thoughts in his head, but he couldn't figure it out, and didn't think about it. I just sighed, the chaotic laws of this "place of burial gods" are indeed beyond the comprehension of mortals.

"According to the route in the notes, there is no need to waste time going to most places in this maze."

Su Lun had already memorized the wiring in his mind.

To go out, the first thing he has to do is to find the black iron coffin in the giant's Hall of Valor.

"The notes say that the thing sealed in the coffin should be one of the sources of energy support for this cursed space. It may be one of the purposes of those people in the Luying Royal Legion."

Su Lun walked carefully in the corridor.

Another timeline is that I have explored almost every corner of this underground palace very carefully, and clearly recorded the dangers and mechanisms here.

Su Lun doesn't have to use his face to find the way now, which saves a lot of effort.

Before the action, he still had some worries that the actual situation he encountered might be different from the notes, but once he entered the maze, he immediately dispelled this concern.

Because it was the notes left by "myself", as soon as Su Lun saw those words and matched the surrounding environment, he could immediately grasp the meaning of that sentence accurately, and he could also understand without any mistakes what he needed to do next.

Just following the route map, he easily avoided the monsters in the underground labyrinth.

Not long after, I came to the "Giant Hall of Valor" that I had visited before.

The timeline should be before [Buying the Gods], there are no complicated roots here yet.

However, there are many space cracks.

Moreover, there are many ghosts floating around.

Those ghosts are no longer normal soul bodies, but polluted ghost-type aberrations.

The weirdness of black iron and silver is everywhere, and there are even gold grades.

"The notes say to wear a mirror to organize the cloak, open the black umbrella and the phantom of death, and carefully avoid the space crack in the direction of ten o'clock, because there will be monsters there."

Su Lun looked at the detailed reference in the notes, not planning to make a mistake in any step.

It is conceivable that the former "self" probably spent a lot of time here, carefully tried many times, and finally figured out the correct route to get close to the coffin.

After observing the surrounding environment and the description, he put on the cloak, opened the human skin umbrella, and the phantom of the god of death holding a scythe appeared behind him, and then walked out.

After making these preparations, the ghost species floating in the sky didn't seem to notice that there was an extra living person here, and drifted around on their own.

Su Lun also heaved a long sigh of relief.

After a while, he approached the coffin easily.

However, it is not easy to get close.

The black iron coffin was not chained yet, but Su Lun felt a tremendous pressure from tens of meters away.

Mysterious, evil, ancient, terrifying, indescribable.

It didn't look very real from a distance before, but now that it's close, these inexplicable breaths rush towards the face, like overwhelming mountains and seas.

As if there was an invisible force repelling all foreign objects from approaching the coffin, every step Su Lun took was under enormous pressure.

"This necromantic aura is really exaggerated! If you don't understand the law of death, it may be difficult to even get close to this coffin."

Su Lun walked thirty-five steps and stopped at the position recorded in the notes.

He also saw clearly the ghost relief on the coffin. The content of the carving was probably a story about a hundred-armed giant fighting a group of demons.

In the end, the fighting plane collapsed, and the hundred-armed giant died in battle. His huge body was torn apart, shattered into countless pieces, and scattered everywhere.

Su Lun looked at the content on the mural, his eyes froze, and he wrote down another note.

【Baisha Town Demon Coffin】

Detailed Explanation: A coffin made of fallen black iron produced in the underworld, but it contains seal restrictions that you cannot understand;

The notes didn't say that the coffin could be moved, and Su Lun didn't dare to make any unnecessary attempts.

According to the method in the notes, he took out a space scroll and released the mechanical armor.

Then he controlled the mecha and began to open the coffin with force.

Well, discreet enough, it fits his style.

This is the most dangerous place in the underground labyrinth. The former "self" put it at the end because of the fear of triggering any danger, so he took the risk to try it out.

In the end, a lot of time was wasted because of this.

The mechanical armor walked over, and the aura of the dead quickly corroded the runes and coatings on the armor, and the living corpses inside were instantly rotten and wiped out.

Fortunately, the witch's hair can be continued forcibly, and Su Lun's intermittent manipulation finally allowed the armor to approach the coffin.

As soon as the steam boiler was charged, it lasted until it shut down, and pushed away the heavy coffin board.

The metal rubbing sound of "click" and "click" was like the sound of hell devil grinding teeth, which made people's hairs stand on end.

The coffin was opened little by little, and as soon as a gap leaked, Su Lun saw the "black water" in the coffin.

He was curious about what was in the coffin before, but now he knew from his notes that it was the arm of a hundred-armed giant king.

It's just that the high grade is a bit outrageous.

Just a piece of corpse arm has such coercion, imagine how terrifying it must have been in life?

What's more, the coffin is not black water, but the necromancy air that is so thick that it turns into a foggy liquid.

Originally, because he knew the steps to open the coffin, he could react more quickly.

But Su Lun didn't do that in order to prevent Hang Seng from changing. He counted the interval of seven seconds in his mind, and then he took out a transparent bandage, which was [The Shroud of the Iceman of Oz].

This thing is a real "forbidden item", and it is difficult to use it for other purposes besides being used for stealth.

But now, it is perfect for binding the corpse, it can restrain the violent corpse aura.

The water in the coffin was very dark, but also very clear.

Su Lun took a look and saw clearly the glistening black jade-like arm in the water.

Just one arm is nearly three meters long, and the strength visible to the naked eye is overwhelming.

The appraisal showed that besides the name, there was also a row of question marks.

[Arm of the Hundred-Armed Giant King Briareus]

Detailed explanation:? ? ?

The law of the overflow of the corpse arm is very terrifying. Even at such a distance, Su Lun can feel the terrifying dark energy formed by the special reaction of the corpse dissection, which is like a black hole and has the ability to tear everything apart.

This thing, Su Lun's current elemental barrier, is not qualified to approach.

If you really want to touch it with your body, it feels like holding a piece of red-hot iron with your bare hands. Just thinking about it makes your scalp tingle.

As soon as he raised his hand, a transparent strip of cloth floated over, nimbly burrowing into the coffin like a snake.

The special material of the shroud made it completely unaffected by the spirit of the dead, and soon wrapped the arm tightly like a mummy.

The moment the energy was completely blocked, Su Lun immediately felt his scalp loosen, and the coercion around him disappeared instantly.

The feeling of walking on the tip of the knife before dissipated.

He walked over and took out the transparent object from the coffin.

He didn't know what the giant king's arm would be used for in the future, but now it had a great use.

Only by getting this arm can he pick up a key item to break the maze at another place in the maze.

Su Lun also collected the liquid collected by the necromantic gas in the coffin in a container.

Although he is not a necromancer, this is the best ration for 【Suicide Bird】.

In other places, you can't find such a pure spirit of death.

After Su Lun retracted his arm, he opened the black umbrella again.

He looked at the [Eclipse] totem on his chest, it was slightly pale, and it seemed that he would not last long.

Not surprisingly, after this time, the totem will completely collapse.

Su Lun, the double surgeon, pinched his seal, and said softly, "Night Curtain Realm - Solution!"

Although he didn't know if this action had any significance in breaking the space, but "I" had done this before, and he didn't hesitate much, and followed suit.

Darkness spread from under the human skin umbrella, and the runes on the umbrella surface shone golden.

All of a sudden, as if they were attracted by some great attraction, those floating giant ghosts all rushed towards the black umbrella like moths to a flame.

Then Su Lun looked at the ghosts that seemed to melt into the stones of the pool, splashed water, and disappeared.

After a while, the huge space became empty.

And the human-skinned black umbrella is full of wronged souls, and its luster is black and shiny.

With a few thousand more giant evil spirits, the effectiveness of the human skin black umbrella has increased by about 20%.

This is the power of a growable cursed item.

Su Lun put away the black umbrella.

Seeing the empty Hall of Valor, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "There are no ghost species in the Hall of Valor in another timeline, could it be because I absorbed all the vengeful spirits here?"

At the same time, he also thought: "So, if I go out now, is there an arm in the coffin that those people from the Luying Royal Legion untied, or not?"

With this thought, his face immediately showed contemplation.

Like Schrödinger's arm, no one knows if it is inside the coffin before it is opened.

The "law of time" in Su Lun's thoughts became more and more complicated, as if it was involved in everything with quantum mechanics.

Su Lun didn't think about it, and didn't think about it.

He left the Hall of Valor, followed the route in the notes, twisted and turned, and came to a huge stone gate in the maze.

The former "self" tried countless methods in front of this stone door, but they didn't open it.

It was later learned that a specific earth bloodline was required to open it.

And the giants believe in the goddess of the earth, and there is a special prohibition condition for opening this stone gate: the giants.

Now Su Lun is the only living person in the entire underground palace, so that corpse arm came in handy.

With a touch of his arm, the stone door was easily pushed open.

The space inside is unsurprisingly huge.

It's like a treasure trove of giants.

But everything inside was emptied, and the few scattered weapons and shields turned into decay.

And there is another thing in the most conspicuous position, which is a golden crown with a diameter of nearly one meter.

【Giant Crown】

Detailed Explanation: It is said that only giant kings are eligible to wear the crown, which contains the inheritance information that only giants can perceive;

Su Lun got the crown and walked out without stopping.

He bypassed the monster's lair, walked up the "endless dark staircase", and then returned to the main hall of the giant city.

Here is the last step to break this weird timeline.

The final deciphering step written in the notes is: "I found that there is no crown on the statue of the hundred-armed giant king on this timeline. After returning to its position, the position of the sculpture of the giant guard can be adjusted. Then, I found that my reasoning is completely correct. This It is the key to cracking the 'time paradox'"

Su Lun looked at the sculpture of the hundred-armed giant on the throne with complicated eyes.

After looking at it for a moment, he murmured with great emotion: "In another timeline, I must have given up so much thought to try out that the release of the crown will be a way to break the space?"

Without notes, he felt that it would take ten and a half months to find the right method.

Without delay, Su Lun went up and put the crown on the stone sculpture's head. He bowed respectfully again: "Sorry, Your Excellency Giant King, for the interruption."

With that said, he went down and began to move the thirty-six statues of guards.

At this point, even without notes, Su Lun knew what to do next.

When he entered before, he had carefully observed that in another timeline, the positions of the thirty-six guard statues were different from what they are now.

But can't move.

The giant king statue must be crowned.

Only the king has the right to command them.

Su Lun moved ten of them and moved them to the position of the timeline in his memory.

He speculates that there may be other placement methods for these statues, which may correspond to other timelines.

A bit like the hands of a clock, a specific position indicates a specific time.

If it was a decryption game, Su Lun would definitely be curious about other solutions.

But now, he just wants to go back to the original timeline and let himself out alive.

Not long after, Su Lun returned the statue to its place after a move.

Then, in this hall, a gold-plated hourglass more than half a meter high suddenly appeared. In the transparent glass container, there are some light blue crystal clear sands.

【Sands of Time】

Detailed Explanation: The god-level material that contains the law of time is the core of the prohibition of this time domain;

Su Lun looked at the hourglass and let out a long breath.

He finally cracked the special space of this chaotic timeline.

He put away the crown and hourglass, and then walked out of the "gate of time" that suddenly appeared.

The surrounding scene changed, and Su Lun found himself in the previous corridor.

"Hey Uta isn't here? Isn't the timeline right?"

Su Lun didn't see his own body, nor did he see Uta, and he still felt a little strange.

But after thinking about it, he thought of something again: "I am not dead in this timeline, which means that my body will not appear. My body did not appear, and there will be no Uta receiving the communication signal Have you found a follow-up plot?"

Su Lun looked at it, and the engraving on the wolf tooth necklace was still there.

But the plot of the dialogue with Uta seems to have never happened.

The chaotic timeline led to the emergence of different parallel spaces?

Then, do other timelines also have "Su Lun"?

For a while, many complicated thoughts flooded Su Lun's mind.

Time and space are mixed together.

It made him feel dizzy for a while.

"Anyway, at least I survived."

Su Lun felt that he couldn't understand such abstruse things at the current level, so he didn't force himself to figure it out.

He put aside those complicated thoughts and thought about the present.

"That is to say, Uta is in this space now, not far away?"

Su Lun frowned slightly.

This cursed space is full of dangers, so he is naturally worried about that Miss Druid.

He took out the communicator and wanted to try to get in touch.

But at this time, I happened to touch the notebook in the bag.

He thought about it, and planned to write down all the experiences he hadn't had time to record just now.

But when he opened it, he froze.

There are no problems with the previous notes recording the process of going out.

but in the end,

There were a few sentences in Su Lun's own notes, but he had no memory of what he had written.

"Opening the notebook, I realized that I seemed to have forgotten something very important. Even this thought, I only remembered it after I saw the notes. I realized that there may be some kind of existence beyond cognition."

"Hey, why did I write these few words?"

"It seems that some mysterious power makes me forget its existence. Even if I use a pen to remind myself to remember, this action will be forgotten."

"."

Seeing these words, Su Lun got goosebumps.

It was not the first time that he found that he had forgotten something.

And on the next page, there is the last inexplicable sentence: "The strength of the Dalu tribe may not be enough to stop that powerful deep-sea giant. There is also a 'third-party force' involved?"

Su Lun immediately realized that there were some things that he had forgotten happened in the "Time Paradise" just now.

"Third-party forces? What did I see in space before that made me come to this conclusion?"

Su Lun's expression became very strange.

Taking advantage of not being forgotten by that mysterious force, he quickly recorded his current thoughts in his notebook: "That mysterious force of forgetting doesn't seem to threaten me, but I can't resist it. It seems that "it" doesn't want to be One remembers, one doesn't want to be aware of one's existence."

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Lun closed his notes.

I plan to ask Mr. Jing later.

But after closing the notes for a moment, Su Lun's frown immediately relaxed, as if he had completely ignored the contents of the notes.

He patted his head, as if he lost his mind for a moment: "Hey, what did I do just now? Oh, by the way, contact Uta"

Thinking of this, he took out the communicator and asked, "Yuta, where are you?"
