The sudden Spirit Language startled Qin Ze.
He instinctively took two steps back, shielding Miss Sword Case in front of him.
Miss Sword Case asked curiously, "Did you hear that? The pillar is talking!"
Qin Ze coughed a few times, then stood up straight. "I heard you."
Miss Sword Case asked in confusion, "But why can the pillar talk?"
Before Qin Ze could even examine him closely, the emotionless voice rang out again.
Please show your identification.
" The Spirit Eye Empire... was it a civilization that once existed in this world?"
What the hell is this " Inscription Laboratory "?
Qin Ze saw the interior of the mountain through the light barrier.
Long corridors, gates, collapsed rooms, construction debris scattered everywhere...
These things were so close, but he was blocked by the access control.
boom--
Qin Ze tried to punch the stone pillar, but the pillar and the light barrier remained unmoved.
"Its strength is so-so; it could be broken with a little more force."
Nothing can stop the punch of the great Pretty God.
If so, then give me a few more punches.
[Alert! Alert!]
[External attack detected; central laboratory compromised. Emergency defense system activated.]
[Emergency defense system activated...]
Seeing this, the Dharma King said, "Goodness, you triggered a reaction with your punch."
Qin Ze waited for a while, but neither mechanical sentries nor machine guns or cannons appeared.
[Emergency defense system unresponsive. Laboratory security personnel, please restart the system immediately.]
[ Imperial Guard in contact...]
[No response]
[Initiating contact with the Imperial Inscription Department, in progress... No response]
A emotionless voice began trying to rouse people.
Unfortunately, it received no response, and everything in the empire went missing.
Qin Ze found it amusing; the voice was growing increasingly urgent, like that of a panicked and helpless child.
Now that the world has entered the Annihilation process, if the access control system could connect to God, that would be truly miraculous.
Qin Ze had no interest in learning about the various departments of the empire through the access control system. He increased his strength and smashed one of the stone pillars with a single punch.
As the stone pillar collapsed, the patterns on the surfaces of the other stone pillars went out one after another, and the light blue light barrier also disappeared.
"Done!"
Qin Ze clapped his hands and strode into the gap in the mountain.
From the security measures at this central laboratory, Qin Ze could roughly gauge the strength of the Spirit Eye Empire.
His assessment was: average.
It's unclear whether Qin Ze is a martial artist or not. Even if he is, his maximum combat strength is probably only at the level of Level Seven Martial Artist.
The access control system's strength is about that level.
The Imperial Central Laboratory sounds like a really impressive place.
The security force in this place should be the strongest in the empire, but Qin Ze broke through it with just one punch.
Compared to the Molten Steel Civilization, the Spirit Eye Empire is far weaker.
After walking through a long corridor, Qin Ze arrived at an alloy gate.
There is a lifelike black eye pattern in the center of the door, as if an eye is really watching you.
"The totem of the Spirit Eye Empire?"
Qin Ze kicked the gate open, revealing a corridor nearly a hundred meters long.
The corridor is lined with rooms that are numbered.
Through the glass in the door, Qin Ze discovered that all the rooms were empty.
There wasn't a trace of human presence.
Qin Ze couldn't help but think of the refuge in the Jiang City Otherworld.
How similar it is to modern laboratories.
The same emptiness, the same desertedness.
"It looks a bit like a warehouse," Brother Devour said.
His Dharma King: "Where are the things in the storeroom?"
The Brother Devour replied, "Perhaps it's the end of the world; everything inside was taken out for disaster relief."
Magician: "Why build so many storage rooms in the lab?"
Qin Ze pushed open the door at the end of the corridor, which also had an eye pattern, and a spacious hall came into view.
"This is... an exhibition hall?"
The lobby is decorated somewhat like an art exhibition hall.
There is a larger eye on the wall directly opposite the main entrance.
Below is a line of small print, resembling a slogan. "The eyes are the key to everything."
Qin Ze roughly understood why this civilization was called the Spirit Eye Empire.
Their worship of the eye had reached an extreme level of Fervor.
Along the way, he had seen no fewer than thirty eyes.
Eyes will appear on every door, every corner, and every wall.
Although it was just a pendant, Qin Ze felt like he was being watched, and that feeling was very unpleasant.
Qin Ze walked into the exhibition hall, where the exhibits were neither paintings nor works of art, but rather strange and unusual things he had never seen before.
He arrived at the first exhibition area, where the description read, " Inscribed Runes Technology, Changing Your Life."
"Pot?"
Qin Ze casually picked up something that looked like a frying pan and waved it around.
The entire surface of the pot was covered with the strange patterns found on stone pillars.
The Dharma King said, "A piece is missing from the hand."
Qin Ze clenched his fist upwards and saw a circular protrusion at the end, which also had patterns on it.
Click--
Qin Ze pressed down the protruding part, filling in the missing pattern, and all the patterns lit up.
In a short while, the surface of the pot became increasingly hot, and the scorching heat could be clearly felt.
"It really is the same pot!"
Qin Ze removed the protrusion, the lines disappeared, and the pot cooled down.
He looked at the introductory text. " Inscribed Runes Technology..."
These strange patterns are likely what are called Inscribed Runes.
After trying out other items in the exhibition area, Qin Ze discovered that these items were essentially household appliances.
Ordinary household appliances need to be plugged in, but these things are driven by Inscribed Runes.
The other exhibition areas also showcased various Inscribed Runes products.
Vehicles, engineering tools, and even a wide variety of weapons.
Qin Ze frowned slightly. "This doesn't make sense."
Although some formations operate through array patterns, these patterns do not exist independently and also require energy to operate.
This energy source is usually provided by crystals, which are placed in the core area, that is, the eye of the array.
But this Inscribed Runes operates entirely autonomously, and can even generate its own electricity, which is simply outrageous.
The Magician exclaimed, "Quickly call the Seer! We've found the Endless Energy!"
The Dharma King clicked his tongue in amazement. "Rune technology is nothing special after all."
After the tour, Qin Ze walked out of the hall and found an Inscribed Runes elevator in a corner.
He took the elevator to the second floor of the laboratory.
After smashing the eye-shaped gate with another punch, the core area of the laboratory was finally revealed to Qin Ze.
This place houses various precision instruments and operating machinery.
In the center of the laboratory stood a huge glass jar, inside which a humanoid creature was submerged in a transparent liquid.
There were more than a dozen tubes inserted into its body, all of which were connected to the red light cluster next to it.
The red light flickered, like a small sun.
Qin Ze looked up at the words below the eye on the wall: Inscribed Runes Technology, surpassing gods with mortal bodies.
