Chapter 61 Door Opening Magic

Outside Alice Manor.

You don't even need to go inside to see that this place is abandoned; it's overgrown with weeds and lush with vegetation. The walls of the buildings are covered with creeping vines, indicating that it has been abandoned for at least three or four years.

Mo Yu and Elise, disguised as a boy, stood in front of the gate observing.

Elise asked with concern, "Is she really not home?"

"Don't worry, she's definitely not here anymore," Mo Yu said confidently, her tone extremely certain.

Elise was unaware of his abilities and needed to gradually build trust. Once he demonstrated his ability to make his words come true a few times, she would gain his trust and then he could use her as a tool.

"Come on, let's go in."

Mo Yu took the lead.

Alpha followed closely behind.

Elise was somewhat worried, but she gritted her teeth and kept up.

The manor is now abandoned, and the protective barrier that once enveloped the entire manor has vanished.

Based on her previous memories, Mo Yu quickly located the underground entrance.

A large metal door has been added here.

Nearby inspection.

There were no switches found; the only way to get in was to break down the door or find another way.

Elise said, "I'll try to force it open."

Mo Yu held up a finger and shook it from side to side, saying, "NONONO~ This door is a 1-meter-thick alloy door. It would be too much trouble for you to break it open by force."

“One meter thick… Do you have any good ideas?” Elise asked in confusion.

Mo Yu put his right index finger to his lips and smiled mysteriously, saying, "I know door-opening magic."

"?"

"Come here, I'll teach you."

Mo Yu beckoned to Elise, who stepped forward in confusion. He casually put his arm around her slender waist, pulled her into his arms, took her small hand, pointed to the metal door, and whispered in her ear:
"Come on, repeat after me, 'Open Sesame'."

"What is this? How could it possibly be opened?"

"Never mind that, just recite it quickly. Remember, sincerity is key."

Urged on by Mo Yu, Elise reluctantly called out:
"Open sesame."

Nothing happened.

Elise blushed slightly, feeling somewhat ashamed. She blamed herself for believing Mo Yu's nonsense.
She was about to speak.

Boom boom boom...

With a deep, resonant sound, the metal door slowly opened.

"what?!"

Elise gasped, her sapphire-like eyes widening as she looked at the door with a puzzled expression, then at Mo Yu, her gaze shifting back and forth, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"why?"

"I already told you, this is a door-opening magic."

Mo Yu chuckled, kissed Iris's little hand, making the girl blush, and then said:
"Okay, let's move on."

Of course, there won't be any magic to open the door.

This door is incredibly thick.

It was very difficult for Elise to break through.

Mo Yu had Alpha use an ion cannon to blast open the door. Two red ion spheres, each the size of a soccer ball, were used to melt a hole in the 1-meter-thick metal door.

Upon entering, I discovered...

There is a control switch behind the main gate, which makes it easy to open the gate from the inside. There are no guards or traps in the passage.

Ever since.

Mo Yu operated the switch and opened the door.

Release the rewind.

Release the mirror image one second before controlling the switch, then use the backtracking deviation to continue backtracking to the point before the goal was breached.

The mirror image will appear at a fixed point behind the door. Operate the switch to open the door from the inside.

Time it perfectly.

Make Elise shout "Open Sesame".

The door opened smoothly and cleanly.

A flawless door-opening magic trick.

The Backslide effect is very useful, but it has a drawback: the mirror image cannot carry other items. Normally, when the original body and the mirror image separate, the user can choose who to give their items to, and key items can be distributed at will. However, the mirror image generated by the Backslide effect is a pure mirror image, and items that cannot be copied are all on the original body.

Mo Yu walked forward.

He secretly glanced back.

Elise looked down at her fingers, her expression one of utter disbelief.

Walk through a long, narrow passage.

It was another metal door.

This was the original gate, easily broken open. As Mo Yu pondered how to open it, Elise stepped forward, pointing to the iron gate and saying:
"Open Sesame!"

"puff……"

Mo Yu tried hard to suppress her laughter, but she still managed to make a sound.

Elise's expression froze.

"why are you laughing?"

Did I laugh?

"Have!"

"Then you must have misheard."

"I didn't mishear! You laughed, just now! I heard it clearly! I heard it with both ears!!"

"I don't usually laugh, unless I can't help it... haha..."

"You...you tricked me!"

Elise realized what was happening, and her face turned bright red with embarrassment.

Mo Yu stopped pretending and burst out laughing.

Elise angrily grabbed his arm, revealing her four sharp little fangs, and bit down, unable to shake him off.

"Pain Pain!"

Mo Yu cried out and pretended to be in a lot of pain.

Elise then relented, licked his wounds to help them heal, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you do that just now?"

“I already told you, it’s a door-opening spell.” Mo Yu pointed to the door in front of him and said, “This door is disobedient, so you’ll have to open it with brute force.”

"You... Hmph! Fine, don't tell me then."

Elise was unhappy. She released the Blood Thorn, pierced the metal door through the crack, and pulled it forcefully to both sides. After a series of ear-piercing metallic scraping sounds, the metal door was violently torn apart.

Mo Yu reminded him, "Prepare for battle; this could be a tough fight."

Based on Alice's intelligence, she designated the Metal Monster as the base's guard.

This is a very special parasitic life form. Its offspring reproduce within the organism, fusing metals and organic matter to form a strange metallic life form.

After being modified by Alice, this monster grows stronger by devouring its offspring and can use various monsters to enhance itself. It is essentially a lump of slime, capable of freely transforming, splitting into multiple forms, and even fusing with metal.

It is very difficult to deal with in a metallic environment.

The base's structure is mostly made of metal walls, making it the perfect environment for Metal Creatures to fight. 20 years ago, Metal Creatures were already very strong, and with the development over these 20 years, they have evolved at least three times.

The good news is that Alice has a good habit.

When creating various monsters, she always considers the possibility of them going out of control, so she prepares some special medicines, like triggers.

In Alice's notes, to deal with the Metal Monster, you need to find a drug called RX-2 Dissolver, which can dissolve the Metal Monster.

I want to find this thing.

This underground base extends downwards for hundreds of meters and is divided into three parts, each with a different thickness.

The first part is the defensive layer, which is also a temporary storage area. Although it has a complete base structure, it's just a facade, a deception; the more important things are deep underground.

The second part consists of the experimental area, living area, incubation room, and the place where the magic agent is extracted.

The third part is the breeding area, which houses a huge number of monsters and continues to be dug downwards.

The entrance was pitch black.

"Alpha, bring the lights."

At Mo Yu's command, Alpha released several hovering drones, each about the size of a ping-pong ball, emitting a soft white light that illuminated the entire passage.

"Let's go to the warehouse first."

Mo Yu still has a clear memory of this place. He had run to the warehouse countless times in order to steal the trigger.

He took the lead and ventured deep into the area.

Alpha and Elise followed suit.
