This isn't a souls-like game at all.

There was a flash of white light, and after a crisp metallic sound, a crack appeared in the door, and the key emerged from the keyhole.

"This……"

Ye Yiyi looked at Angel in surprise.

"how did you do it?"

"The deconstruction of ancient ruins and ancient machinery is the main research project of the Gold Casting Palace." Angel said, but his expression was inexplicably hesitant.

"Have you studied this?"

"No, I studied architecture and materials."

"?"

"The subject of ancient architecture is very profound. It would take me a lot of time to study it. Plus, I only signed up for an elective, so I didn't go into it in depth. As for the door lock appearing..."

Angel lowered his head, his expression hesitant.

I don't know what decision he made in his heart, but he seemed to have suddenly made up his mind and said:

"Actually, the door told me the method itself, and then I used the magic I studied in that book to open it..."

"???"

Ye Yiyi was stunned and even suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"You said, it was the door itself that told you?"

"Yeah." Angel pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

"This……"

Ye Yiyi glanced at the door, then looked at Angel, and suddenly felt a little confused.

But this door is not even a dead object, how can it speak?

Wait!

Ye Yiyi suddenly remembered the scene in the cockpit of the Weightbearer where Angel's eyebrows glowed.

Could this be the reason?

"When... were you able to hear the door talking?"

“Just before…”

Angel showed a look of reminiscence.

"When we were coming down the wall earlier, I heard the ancient creature below me talking. I remember it said in my head that it was in pain, and that its legs were broken, with only three legs left..."

"Three legs!" Ye Yiyi was shocked.

At that time, the loadbearer was bombarded by the corpse dragon's fireballs, and only three of the eight metal limbs were left. That means there are three legs!

"Plus, I encountered the demon in the warehouse afterwards, so I didn't dare mention it..."

Angel whispered,

"But after entering here, my head was filled with all kinds of mechanical sounds. Until just now, the door saw you trying to tear it down, and while shouting for help, it was also shouting how to open the door...

“That’s how I know how to open the door.”

"This..." Ye Yiyi was dumbfounded.

He was wondering why this kid had a glow on his forehead before. Did he have an epiphany and changed his profession from a magician to a high priest of the Mechanicus?

"You... can hear all the mechanical sounds?" Ye Yiyi asked carefully.

"I don't know either. At least, there are many that I've come across so far..."

Angel looked back at the road he had come from, remembering the countless glass jars quarreling in his head, and nodded with a heavy heart.

If he hadn't figured out how to block out the sound without any instruction, his brain would have exploded long ago.

I don’t know if those glass jars have been soaked in monsters for too long, but they are talking abnormally.

"call……"

Ye Yiyi took a long breath and calmed down for a while.

"Can you communicate with the door? Like ask questions or something?"

"It seems not." Angel shook his head, "I can only hear them talking from one side."

"That's not bad."

Ye Yiyi sighed, thinking that this kid had walked into the wrong set, and Warhammer was next door.

He couldn't help but pat Angel's shoulder and said, "I knew you had a bright future..."

"..."

Angel said nothing, as if he was thinking about something or listening to something.

Ye Yiyi swung the key in his hand, glanced at the door, and suddenly said:

"Is this door saying something bad about me?"

"No, it's wondering why you haven't inserted it hard since you even took out the key."

Angel only realized what was happening after he finished speaking, and his expression looked a little strange.

Just insert it, why do you have to insert it hard?

"Oh?"

Ye Yiyi frowned, then turned to look at the door lock with a hearty smile.

"Little slut, you're pretty wild. Do you want me to fuck you so much?"

He picked up a key at random and thrust it hard into the keyhole.

"Then I'll satisfy you! The iron rod (referring to the key) is coming in!"

"Click!"

When the key was pushed all the way in, the lock core moved, and after a crisp metallic sound was heard, the key was fixed.

"What a coincidence? A deadly hit?"

Ye Yiyi frowned, then twisted his wrist and the door opened with a click.

Oh no, I was just trying to poke them one by one, but I hit the target by accident. Now the Minotaur has become pure love.

"???"

Angel opened his mouth and stared at Ye Yiyi with wide eyes as he scratched his chin with the tip of the tentacle, looking shocked.

There is actually such a way to play?

"What do you mean by this door?" Ye Yiyi looked at Angel with curiosity.

"Uh……"

Angel suppressed the shock in his heart, listened attentively, and then said with a strange expression.

"It said it's rusted over time, and if I just oiled the key it would be fine..."

"Oh, lack of lubrication, huh?"

Ye Yiyi nodded thoughtfully, looking down at the key stick, "It will hurt if you force it."

"..."

That’s the door lock, an old alloy lock that’s who knows how many years old!

Even if you break the key, it won't hurt!

Angel remained silent on the surface, but was complaining madly in his heart.

At the same time, he felt a little desperate. Why should he use this ability for such a thing?

"Let's keep going. Your ability is very useful. It might be of great help next time."

Glancing at Angel, who looked a little broken, Ye Yiyi spread his hands and stepped into the long corridor in front of him.

After walking around the winding corridor and opening the door in front of him again, Ye Yiyi was stunned when he came to another dark corridor.

Turning my head and looking back, I saw a tentacle monster lying on the ground at the other end of the corridor, which had been dead for a long time.

"You're coming out now?"

He glanced at the dark staircase at the right end of the corridor, sniffed, and raised his brows.

"Let's go, there's nothing on this floor, let's continue looking down... Oh, right, which way should we go to get to your tribe?"

"Go to the bottom floor, where it connects to other buildings."

Angel thought for a moment and replied, "After leaving the experimental floor, it seems that if we pass by the residence of the magic hunters, we can reach the place where they imprisoned my people."

"That will be soon." Ye Yiyi nodded.

"I hope they are safe..." Angel prayed silently.

After walking down nearly a hundred steps along the winding staircase, Ye Yiyi estimated that he had gone down at least five or six floors before finally reaching another floor.

There was still no light on this floor, so Ye Yiyi had to raise her waist lamp and use the light to look around.

"I... feel something is not right..."

Angel huddled up with his wings curled up behind him, feeling inexplicably cold.

"You've been here before. Do you know what this floor is used for research?"

"I don't know. I've only been here, but never gone inside..."

"laugh……"

A strange and ethereal laughter came from the distance. Angel's eyes widened, goose bumps suddenly appeared all over his body, and the wings behind him suddenly stood up.

"The laughter of a wraith?"

Ye Yiyi was just about to say that he seemed to have heard this sound in the game, and then he heard bursts of clear bell-like sounds coming from a distance.

"Uh?"

A faint glow of pale white light drifted in from afar, and then an illusory figure of a knight in full armor slowly emerged from the void.

"Is this... a phantom of the past?"

Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then saw the knight take a stance and punch hard into the air in front of him.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, a dragon roar resounded throughout the corridor, and pitch-black dragon claws appeared out of thin air, clenched into fists, and hit the two men hard.

"Dragon Claw?!"

Chapter 303 Dragon-Armored White Feather Knight

The corridor in front of him was not narrow, about four or five meters wide, more than enough to accommodate a person carrying a heavy load.

But when the pitch-black dragon claw emerged from the void, then clenched into a fist, and swung towards him with a strong wind and a powerful posture, Ye Yiyi inexplicably felt that he "could not escape".

"Can it be tracked? Or has it been locked down?"

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he didn't have time to think carefully. He subconsciously concentrated and activated bullet time.

The speed of the dragon fist's attack slowed down visibly, as if the slow-motion button was pressed.

Ye Yiyi turned around, grabbed the arm of Angel, who had a dazed expression and a stiff body, and walked towards the stairwell they came from, hoping to avoid the dragon fist.

But on the simplified light screen on the side, the green energy bar was rapidly shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"No! I can't sustain the energy!"

Ye Yiyi frowned. The energy consumption of acting alone and leading others was completely different. At this rate of consumption, he would probably run out of energy and fall out of the bullet time state before he even reached the stairs.

"Forget it, I won't dodge this punch."

He made up his mind and stretched out a tentacle from behind him. The tip pierced a badly grown mushroom and poked it into his mouth at the fastest speed.

Then he raised his leg and kicked Angel, whose cheeks were puffed up, into the stairwell.

The dragon fist attacked, and the fist wind wrapped around the thick dragon arm, as if turning into a sharp blade. The metal corridor was stretched open out of thin air, and black cracks continued to extend along the floor and walls.
