Holding breath, he tiptoed... After walking out of the small room full of various biological specimens, Liqi began to approach the direction of the disgusting and rotten smell. This passage seemed to have been burned by fire, and the strange blackness covered all corners that were severely or visible.

The more he stepped forward, the more obvious the smell that came out of the depths of the darkness was - the smell was so disgusting that Liqi wrinkled his nose. Liqi had been exposed to various raw materials that emit foul smell in the past alchemy experiments, but none of them were as strong as this smell.

If the person here was an ordinary person, he might have been scared away by this stench that was enough to make people dizzy, and naturally he would not approach the direction where the smell came. But Liqi was different, because she noticed that the smell was active, and it was approaching at an extremely slow speed.

These stenches are very similar to those emitted by the old man. Perhaps the stenches on him were left behind by spending a long time with these things. If he had been with the source of the stench in the closed spaces of the underground tunnel for a long time, it would not be surprising that he would leave a similar scent.

A person lives in an environment with similar smell for a long time, and over time, he adapts to the smell and then no longer pays attention to its existence. The old man may initially care about this strong stench, but over time, he may not notice the changes he is also taking.

In order to find out this source, Liqi chose to find out.

It's strange that this corridor is obviously lacking in cleaning compared to the first half. The rocks that built this corridor have become quite fragile under the burning of flames. Later generations ran over its body with their back and forth. In the end, cracks and fragments were left all over the ground.

Be careful when walking in this hallway full of broken marks, because there may be a sharp protrusion hidden under the broken rock you are about to step on next step. The loose stones are also quite easy to make noises, exposing the location of the person who stepped on them.

Shadows and gravels. The two scattered under the corridor form the defensive elements of this corridor. If an experienced spell wants to arrange defense here, he can use several spells that manipulate vision and rock to spread the mechanism here - not necessarily fatal, but simple and effective.

However, there are no traces of spell activities here, and even if the most direct alarm is used, no one can find it - this corridor is as unprepared as a walking trail that everyone can come to. Liqi dared not be careless. She continued to leave hidden scratches on the wall while moving forward carefully.

After turning the black corridor covered with iron fences, my eyes suddenly became clear, and a wide circular hall appeared a little abruptly in front of Liqi.

She stopped and stood at the edge of the entrance staring at the hall in front of her: "Is this... an auditorium? Why was it built here?"

It’s no wonder she had this question. The hall that appeared in front of her was probably larger than the main entrance hall of the medical building. It is conservatively estimated that it can accommodate more than 2,000 people. Such a huge building is built deep underground. Liqi is a little puzzled what the authentic person is thinking about.

The road leading to the hall was not the only way to the direction she came. The four stairs slowly extended downwards. While leading to the center of the hall, it was accurately divided into four equal areas. The stairs were all connected to a black door hole, and I don’t know where it would lead.

Liqi has long discovered that these underground passages are a huge maze. Only now have a clear understanding of the size of this maze. So far, the total length of the road she has walked is as far from the main entrance of the Theory Department building to the college. However, it still has not touched the edge of the underground passage.

The crisscrossing channels and the gentle slopes that are sometimes up and now make people lose their grasp of space. Similar roads make people lose themselves. Although Liqi uses the method of leaving marks to judge the road, she has not found any mark she has left until now.

Instead of going around the repeated road, she walked deeper and deeper in the complex passage. In the end, she arrived not the studio of the old man and the squat doctor, but this strange rotunda. The stench in the air was so strong that it could be seen that the entity was still visible, and Ke Liqi still did not find the source of the smell.

"Curt. Where are you now?" So she contacted Curt without hesitation, hoping that the academy guards around him could help. "I found a hall deep in the road, which seemed to connect other places--you'd better ask them about these underground passages."

Liqi glanced at the hall, and she felt that it was like a circular arena—or a meeting room. There were many simple fluorite lamps hanging on the ceiling, which provided some light to the spacious hall and kept the light and shadow at a subtle level.

With a little light, Liqi saw a large number of stone seats on the periphery of the ring, and the technique seemed quite rough. The line of stone seats surrounded a small circular stage in the center of the hall. They were all carved with the same stone as the building, and the grayish-white color was monotonous and tasteless.

"I've asked questions about these underground passages."

Curt quickly answered, but the answer was disappointing: "Sorry, these guys sent by Dean François do not seem to be clear about the underground passage. In fact, even Dean François may not be aware of the information, and the records about it seem to have been deliberately eliminated."

If the Eye of True Vision was an organization that had existed for a long time, their personnel would indeed easily destroy intelligence about these channels. Especially when they lost control of members of the Katris authority, they would be more likely to destroy unfavorable intelligence for the sake of secrets.

"There are ones and twos... I don't think there are only a few people in such a big academy - how many people are trustworthy except François?" Liqi said to Curt. Obviously she was not satisfied with Curt's answer. "Also, the huge underground facilities cannot find any clear records. The "Twelve Directions Wind" did not allow the watchdogs whom she raised to investigate carefully..."

——What is this guy’s intention?

Driven by unified interests, Cruise François and Curt are "companions" on the same front, but it is a difficult problem to maintain this community of interests. If one day, those "Eyes of True Vision" have the same goal as François, will he immediately abandon Curt, who was once his companion, and devote himself to the embrace of the "Eye of True Vision"?

Because of the somewhat exaggerated title, Liqi didn't like Cruise François, a high-level spell, but she still had to admit his magical strength. Perhaps he was a great helper as a companion, but when he was an enemy, he was definitely a headache-provoking opponent.

"I don't deny that this matter is a bit strange, but I think it's better to choose to believe Dean François for the time being. At present, it seems that our interests are consistent. If he really wants to join the other side, there is no need to hire me to investigate the "Eye of True View" from the beginning."

Curt said so.

Liqi peeked through his vision and found that he was moving in the direction he was moving with the guards of the academy along the imprints he left behind. Their small group of people moved a little slower than Liqi, but they were about to reach the room full of specimens.

What he said was the truth, and Liqi had to decide this way: "Maybe."

In other words, Curt and Liqi must carefully investigate these passages underground in the academy from now on. If it really connects the various parts of the academy, it is undoubtedly a great advantage for the "Eye of True Vision" who controls the inside story of these passages, and they can easily penetrate into the academy.

Liqi looked at the hall in front of her and decided to wait for Cott and her party here for the time being. Standing at the doorway as the commanding heights, everything in the room could be seen at a glance. However, there was nothing worth noting in this empty building except for some masonry products.

She took a breath, and the breath that filled the surroundings made her even wonder if she had accidentally stepped into an ancient tomb. The smell of moist soil and decaying objects were mixed together, not only where she was, but even where Curt and the others were already filled with the smell of dead ashes.

Through Curt's eyes, Liqi could clearly see a guard of the academy standing beside Curt's side covering his nose tightly. He frowned and glanced around in doubt - undoubtedly, the smell was no longer enough for them to stand it, and one of them looked as if he was about to vomit it out on the spot.

Strange, is this rotten smell so exaggerated?

Looking at the guards of the academy beside Curt, they had seen some big scenes under François, but now their faces turned blue because of this smell... Liqi didn't know whether her perception of the smell became dull, or whether those people really couldn't stand the stench that came to their faces.

The sound of scattered footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and the group carefully passed through the corridor. Under Curt's leadership, they naturally embarked on the road where Liqi left a mark - it was as shrouded in the dark as Liqi passed by just now, and looked even darker under the light of the lantern.

If everything goes well, they just need to turn the next corner and arrive at the room ahead with a large number of specimens. Liqi still remembers the shape of the scrap pile left nearby.

Yes, if everything goes well...

The problem is that in front of Curt and the others was a stone wall that looked quite strong. The mark left by Liqi was cut off by the wall. The dark wall seemed to exist as if it was there, and the road ahead was tightly sealed. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
