I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 930: Sin and Darkness, Masquerade
When hearing Sigourney's question, Su Wen just smiled and replied:
"If you can still be so miserable even with the map, I'm afraid you can't protect those students.
Don't worry, for every part you're missing, I'll have one more drink with you next time we meet."

"It sounds a bit too worthless."

The lecturer from Haiyuan Julianster also showed an expression of enjoying the excitement.
“But I’ll take this job.”

"readily."

The next second, all of Su Wen’s map information was sent to him via the Dawn system’s temporary message notification.

now,

In a room that looked more like a high-tech hydroponic room, the atmosphere was slightly depressing, and there seemed to be a subtle tension in the air.

however,
In this dull atmosphere, strange lights dotted the surroundings of the room.
There were many [Void Energy Crystals] quietly condensing there, emitting a faint blue light, adding a touch of mystery and depth to this high-tech space.

At the same time, when Signy's finger lightly touched the receiving device, the map data carefully transmitted by Su Wen appeared before his eyes. The mentor from [Haiyuan-Julianster] gently moved his wrist.

There was a flicker of determination in his eyes:
“Last year in Samoa, we faced the storms together.

And this year, Rhine stepped up again to deal with the Kuroshio crisis in the Philippines.

You have dealt with all these matters, Rhine, but now, I can’t just stand by and watch.”

that's it,
He spoke to the other instructors beside him and handed over the work at hand to them.

Then, he actually ran towards the depths of the ruins in front of everyone's astonished gaze.

Knowing the entire map, including the many side trails, he felt that he could at least unleash eighty percent of the capabilities of [Sublimation Lineage: The Sunken One].

at the same time,

In a remote corner of the mysterious underground space of the real Hercules Wall where Su Wen is,

In the deeper location of the Les Anton Laboratory,

At a certain point that seems to be the intersection of reality and ruins, there stands a gigantic energy field laboratory.

Here,

The light is dim and deep,
The huge metal frame and intricate energy conduits are interwoven into a futuristic picture.

There was a subtle energy fluctuation in the air, as if even breathing could cause subtle changes in the surroundings.

Deep in the laboratory

, beams of light penetrated the layers of fog, illuminating the masks of various shapes, some crying and some laughing.

They are like silent badges of identity, quietly worn on the faces of many people who stand solemnly around the huge energy field.

In this space shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, countless people wearing these masks are keeping observation.

Their eyes were focused and deep, staring through the densely packed surveillance screens in front of them, at the blurry images that seemed to come from another dimension.

Even many of them have their fingers jumping on various control panels.
Constantly debugging the core of the huge energy field of those unimaginable super-scientific machines:

Countless virtual energy crystals sparkling with strange light,
They are like countless beating hearts, providing a constant supply of power to the entire laboratory.

The machines roared,

Data is flying,

Every fine-tuning may lead to unknown changes, but these scholars who want to defy the rules of the world have no fear.

It seems to be weaving a magnificent symphony about power and the unknown.

They are:
【Masquerade】.

"The spatial volatility monitoring data of the third area has been fed back, and the stability remains within the preset threshold."

A voice reported calmly, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

“District 5 has detected the traces of the students sent by Constance for the entrance day.

Should we immediately implement the 'clean-up' plan?" Another voice followed, equally cold.

however,
In this cold conversation, a female voice suddenly interrupted with a subtle fluctuation:

“Should we ponder Constance’s true intentions behind this action?
Although someone from Lannabodu has contacted us and told us that there is no need to retreat,

Make sure to determine whether the projection interference experiment can really affect the history of the Third Age before the ruins are closed.
But unfortunately,
The Non-Purification Area Relic Project No. 13 was interfered with by Archduke Christopher.

If we look at it from the perspective of Constance Lawrence, the sixth-order fallen, once known as the Star Annihilator, would he easily let our concept of good and evil constrain his actions? "

"Si Ming,
Control your emotions.”

A calm male voice sounded, trying to calm the discussion that was about to intensify.

"At least for now,
He is old enough and is likely to show up for the innocent candidates.

He is no longer a Lurker from the Fourth Age."

But the female voice's disdain became more and more obvious:

"and so,
Your plan is to use the terrifying power compressed by these virtual energy crystals to restrain him and seize the symbiotic rights of the Breeze Tree?
If you don't think this is a ridiculous fantasy.

So sorry,

I have no interest in participating in this ridiculous drama.

The core of the ruins has undergone an irreversible mutation, yet you set a trap here. This is extremely stupid.

After two hours,

I have more important tasks to do.”

Say it,
She turned around.
He left everyone with a resolute back, while the machines in the laboratory continued to roar, as if they were a silent witness to the argument.

But the man paid no attention to her actions.

After all, the Masquerade is an extremely loose organization.

That's why they wear masks.

He simply turned the conversation to someone else:

"Regarding the swarm simulation data, what are the latest simulation results?"

"After the swarm encountered the energy field we set up, its movement speed slowed down by 37.8%, but its mutation rate increased by 14.2%."

A technician wearing a mask slid his finger quickly on the virtual touch screen, showing the latest simulation results.

“This means we have to adjust the frequency of the energy field.

To slow them down while
Reduce their potential for variation as much as possible.

Otherwise, we may very well bring about a fifth-era Zerg crisis."

“It is imperative that this situation not occur.
Otherwise, if the giant tree can't hold on to the breeze, we will really become sinners.

Adjust the frequency to the β-42 band,

And increase the extraction speed of virtual energy crystals to ensure that the energy field can be output continuously and stably."

The man said in a deep voice,

His fingers tapped lightly on the control panel, and a series of complex parameters began to adjust automatically.
“Currently, the extraction rate of virtual energy crystals has reached 2.7 gigajoules per second.

But given the size of the swarm and its mutation rate, we need to increase this speed to 3.5 gigajoules per second to deal with possible emergencies.

for example:

[Rhine]!"
