Chapter 613 Deduction
"Some drugs." These two words piqued Noel"s interest. Since Septa had invited him, he chose to follow him to enter the second room.
There was a giant machine in the middle of the room. It was a big cylinder, but Noel could see a complex mechanism inside the machine a bit through the translucent gla.s.s on it.
There was even a hole in the middle of the cylinder. The length and size seemed to fit a person. The people from the previous civilization might be sending a person inside for something.
"Hmm? What"s the use of this machine?" When Noel was thinking about it, Septa returned with a few gla.s.s bottles.
There were a few pills inside one container. Noel could also see a syringe in another, but he was a bit surprised to see such a thin needle sticking at the tip of the syringe. This might be bigger than a needle for sewing, but it wasn"t big enough to be lethal. There was also a container that contained an unknown liquid.
Noel frowned because he didn"t know much about all of them. He looked at Septa, wondering if he had something to say.
Septa wrote a few more things.
"The liquid smell is a bit nauseating. I don"t know the details, but it feels like they are medicine. As for this syringe, I have tried to move them a bit. You will be shocked by this…" Septa stopped writing and started pointing at someone.
The person seemed to understand his intention and immediately raised both hands. With minimal Spiritual Energy, he conjured a small ball of water.
Septa then pointed the syringe into the water and pulled the handle on the top. Surprisingly, the syringe gradually filled with water.
"It sucked the water?" Noel widened his eyes in shock. He looked at the size of the needle again and couldn"t help but think of something.
Noel wrote a few words and showed it to them.
"Can this item inject a liquid into our flesh?"
"!!!" All of them were surprised as if they thought about the same thing. They exchanged looks and couldn"t help but nod.
Septa still maintained his barrier so that the demons outside wouldn"t find anything suspicious. So, he immediately came out, cut the demon"s flesh and brought it back inside.
He placed it on top of the bed and grabbed the syringe. He tried to stab the skin, but because it was too hard, he ended up using his Spiritual Energy to let it penetrate the demon"s flesh.
He then pushed the handle carefully. Surprisingly, the liquid gradually came out, moved around the flesh, and gradually wet the bed.
"!!!" They all looked shocked because they had never seen something like this before.
But Noel couldn"t help but write a few more things, planning to give them the a.n.a.lysis. Instead of waiting for Noel to show it to them, they simply took a peek at Noel"s writing.
"This place might be similar to a pharmacy. They have those weird pills like the things we"ve seen in the pharmacy. And if I"m not wrong, this syringe is specialized for injecting a liquid into our body. We have a similar syringe, but there is no needle like that. So, what if our technology simply isn"t enough to recreate the needle to pair with the syringe?"
They somehow agreed with Noel"s a.n.a.lysis. Still, they couldn"t really explain all the machines inside the room.
"I don"t know anything much about the machine, and this is also my first expedition. So, I think we should search for another two rooms to confirm our guess. There is also that white coat… I don"t know what they"re used for, but if they"re getting put on, the color is something useful to recognize the liquid that is stuck on the clothes."
Septa looked down for a moment. He could agree to Noel"s request. After all, the logic was there and he couldn"t find any way to rebuke him.
Still, checking two more rooms was easier said than done. To enter this room alone, they needed around twenty minutes to clear the demons and forge the path. They also needed to use their Spiritual Energy to maintain the current situation to avoid the demon"s suspicion.
But if Noel"s prediction was true, they could confirm the ident.i.ty of this mysterious facility.
They all looked at each other before Septa grabbed Noel"s note.
"It"s going to be hard. With the current situation, I don"t think we have a lot of time. Then again, searching for two more rooms will take around one hour. We also need to find a clue about the hidden nest."
"I"m afraid that the situation will become dangerous past this point. So, I"m asking you guys right now. Are you ready to risk your life?"
The three members of the Demon Extermination Squads exchanged looks for a second. But it seemed that all three of them had the same way of thinking. They didn"t hesitate to raise their thumb as if accepting Septa"s invitation.
They had been wrestling their lives this whole time since they hunted a lot of demons on a daily basis. So, risking their lives like this was just another day of their life.
All that was left was Noel.
Septa looked at Noel, asking for his permission.
Noel wrote down his intention.
"I am also a Spirit Master. I don"t have the efficiency of the three from the Demon Extermination Squad, but I"m confident with my firepower. Although it is a bit dangerous, I"m also going."
All of them looked at each other to confirm their will. As soon as they got their message clear, Septa finally put everything down before pointing at the items that were small enough to fit in the bag.
Noel nodded and immediately put everything, including the "pen," the "syringe," and the few containers that stored liquid and pills.
Meanwhile, Septa used the note to communicate with the other three about how they were going to proceed.
The moment they reached an agreement, they immediately walked to the exit, ready to sneak around.
