Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: "Jason's not found, MX's identity is a mystery"

Viper moved silently through the intricately arranged traps and electronically triggered mines, each step revealing his familiarity and confidence in this place. The Mecha Masters Association, so what? He was as comfortable as if he was walking in his own backyard, and a faint sense of complacency couldn't help but well up in his heart.

In this era, the light brain was becoming more and more prominent in mechs, almost becoming an indispensable core.As for the Mecha Masters Association, although it was ostensibly honored by mecha masters, it had actually brought together many top talents related to mecha, with the existence of Underworld Walkers being particularly notable.

To be able to infiltrate the interior of such a strict Mecha Master Association, even as powerful as Viper, he couldn't help but feel a hint of pride in his achievement. However, he did not indulge in complacency, after all, this place was full of crises, and the slightest carelessness could lead him into a situation of no return. If the Underworld practitioners guarding this place were disturbed, it would be much more difficult to get out of here.

This operation was of great significance to Viper, and once it was successful, the commission he would receive would be enough to give him peace of mind for the rest of his life. He was well aware that there were other Underworld Walkers who had also accepted the same commission, which undoubtedly fueled the competitive desire within him. He secretly vowed that he would never let others steal his thunder.

Viper's gaze was attracted by a door emitting a colorful haze, the dense and tumbling light made it seem as if he was seeing the entrance to a fairyland. However, years of being a walker in the Underworld had made Viper well aware that beauty often came with danger. He slightly crouched down, his right hand touched the ground, closed his eyes, a wave of if nothing else quietly spread out with him as the center.

This was one of Viper's unique techniques - "Surge". In this world full of unknowns and dangers, every Underworld walker had their own unique skills. The "Surge" is Viper's pride, which not only allows him to accurately grasp his surroundings in a short period of time, but also has a high degree of stealth and deception, so that even when facing other Underworld Walkers, he is still able to handle the situation with ease.

At the same time, "Bone Eating Worm", as another of Viper's best skills, was equally terrifying. Once this seemingly harmless skill locks onto a target, it is as hard to get rid of as a maggot. It was by virtue of the two great skills of "Surge" and "Bone Eroding Worm" that Viper had made a name for itself amongst the walkers of the Underworld.

At this moment, Viper was fully concentrated on feeling the information coming from "Surge". First, second ... seventh! He was secretly shocked in his heart, this door is actually set up seven password lock! However, the deeper he explored, the more he felt that something was fishy. The traps and organs along the way, if not for the help of the "surge", he would have been hit countless times. The Underworld practitioners in the Mecha Masters Association were by no means idle, so there was no reason for the defense to become more lax the further they went inside.

The alarm bells in Viper's heart rang loudly, and he knew that he must not take it lightly. He quietly stood still, his mind rapidly recalling every detail, trying to find out the truth hidden in the shadows. Finally, he discovered the crux of the matter - those seemingly messy traps actually hid some sort of pattern, and the sevenfold combination locks of this door were not as simple as they appeared. They were interconnected in an ingenious way, and together they formed an even more complex defense system.

Viper took a deep breath, already having a few certainties in his mind. He believed that he was capable of cracking this puzzle, he just needed to be more careful to do so. After all, everything here could be a fatal killing opportunity.

Viper once again activated "Surge", his eyes closed tightly, and he was fully concentrated on the flow of information around him. His brain was like a computer running at high speed, constantly analyzing and processing the information that came back.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was only after thirty minutes that Viper slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath. He was marveling in his heart, the exquisite design of the lock knots of this door was simply out of his expectation. The original seemingly simple seven locks were actually entangled with each other in an extremely ingenious way, forming an eighth invisible lock. If he acted rashly, he would definitely trigger the trap, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Viper secretly rejoiced at his caution, and at the same time, he also developed a bit of respect for this unknown opponent. This was the first time he had encountered such a lock knot design, and he had almost planted himself here. However, fortunately, he had noticed the subtleties in time, and was now six or seven percent sure that he could crack this door.

However, just as Viper was about to step forward, a faint green shadow suddenly drifted into his eyes. His heart skipped a beat and he hastily stopped his advance. The closed door was still emitting a strong multicolored light, making the surrounding colorful and dazzling.

Viper's heart was in a state of shock and uncertainty, he was not sure if that flash of green lines just now was an illusion. He carefully observed for a long time, trying to find out that green light again, but the light on the door was just too dazzling, making his eyes almost see mixed-color eyes, but he still found nothing.

Could it really be that his eyes were blurred? Viper was not sure in his heart. He suddenly thought that if this door did not glow, he would definitely be able to see clearly. Thus, his heart moved and he began to think about why this door was glowing. Could it be ... to hide something?

Once this idea arose, it was like weeds growing wildly in the viper's heart. He felt more and more that there must be some unknown secret behind this door. So, he carefully continued to probe, afraid of missing any trace of clues.

Finally, the effort was not enough. When Viper was almost on the verge of giving up, he finally spotted the green shadow that was almost so faint that it could be ignored once again. It turned out to be a green light as thin as a hair, which was skillfully hidden in the light of the door, extremely difficult to be noticed.

Viper secretly marveled in his heart, it was the first time he had encountered a trap with such a high degree of concealment. But since it had already been discovered by himself, there was nothing to worry about. He looked at the door in front of him, which was like a door to a fairyland, and his heart was filled with anticipation and confidence.

Meanwhile, in another luxurious mansion, a conversation about vipers was going on.

"Second Young Master, the matter you ordered down last time has already had some results."The butler reported in a respectful voice.

Jason was overjoyed at his words, "Really? Where is he from? What is his real name? Haha, now he won't be able to run away!"He then said fiercely, "Anyone who dares to mess with my Jason, I will make sure he doesn't die well!"

However, the butler looked embarrassed and stammered, "Second young master, this ... this ..."

Jason saw the butler wanting to say something but couldn't help but frown and said unhappily, "Don't stutter what quickly say! Could it be that he still has some kind of marvelous background?"

The butler lowered his head and said: "That's not just ... just ..." his forehead began to ooze out fine beads of sweat obviously some nervousness and fear.

Jason impatiently interrupted, "Don't just say it quickly!"He stared blankly at the butler waiting for the following. However the butler became even more nervous the beads of sweat on his forehead grew.

"Second young master in the information box we checked all the barcodes but we couldn't find the MX you mentioned not even one with a similar name."The butler finally told the truth but he didn't dare to look Jason in the eye for fear of seeing this temperamental second young master get angry.

Jason froze he obviously didn't expect this outcome, "None? How is this possible? I clearly saw it clearly absolutely impossible to see it wrong!"He stared at the butler as if he wanted to see something from the other's face. However, the butler lowered his head and didn't dare to meet his eyes.

"Of course the old slave believes in the second young master's eyesight with the second young master's eyesight there is no reason to see wrong!"The butler hurriedly sent a kiss of horse's ass to try to ease the tense atmosphere "But this is really strange old slave can not understand why there is no information about him in the information box? You have to go through the identification process to access the virtual network, without it you can't access the virtual network at all!"He carefully explained for fear of touching Jason's scales.

Jason also fell into a deep thought he really did not expect such a result: "That's right, how can this be possible?"He muttered to himself as if he was trying to recall the scene trying to find some clues. However the butler spoke up once again, "The old slave was just wondering if this MX could also be an Underworld Walker?"He said tentatively while observing Jason's reaction. Underworld Walkers were people who used their optical brains to break through the boundaries of the virtual network rules and had profound attainments and talents in the optical brain These people had abilities in the virtual network that far exceeded those of ordinary people If MX was really an Underworld Walker then everything would make sense.
