Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

There doesn't seem to be much difference between the second floor and the top floor, but the surroundings still reveal traces of time, which makes it look even more chilling.

Lu Ren walked around the second floor several times but found nothing. According to common sense, if those teams of Valkyries came in, they would definitely leave some traces of investigation everywhere.

But this time they really left nothing behind, and Lu Ren and his group seemed to be the first group of people to enter here.

"Host, what's your story?"

The system watched Lu Ren walk around here several times, trying to open every room, and picking up a few dusty chemical test tubes in a room that looked like an operating room. It even thought that the old Lu Ren had returned, but this was obviously impossible. Lu Ren probably had his own reasons for doing this.

"You really listen when I tell you something, right? I don't tell stories." Lu Ren finally said it with a look of pleasure on his face, making the system even more silent.

"Let's steam the mullet."

"You like to use puns so much, huh? You're so low-class." Lu Ren said with disdain.

The system resisted the urge to mute the microphone and patiently asked Lu Ren, "Host, what did you do with those test tubes?"

"Test tube?" Lu Ren looked at the dusty test tube in his hand. "Oh, who should I ask if you ask me?"

Lu Ren successfully ended the conversation. Besides having the ability to start a new topic, he never expected that he also had the ability to end it.

Seeing that Lu Ren was not ill at all, but rather looked like he was going insane, the system was anxiously jumping up and down, "Host, are you awake?"

"Me?" Lu Ren tilted his head, a puzzled expression on his face, "What's the problem?"

Seeing that Lu Ren finally said something relatively normal, the system quickly took the opportunity to say, "You are a little too energetic."

"Energetic? Now that you mention it, I do feel a boost of energy after coming in, and it became even more obvious after the squad leader disappeared." Lu Ren lowered his head and thought.

The system breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lu Ren was online, otherwise the system would have been really scared seeing his appearance just now, especially in this environment where the surrounding situation was unclear.

"What does it matter? When you are young, you don't know how much energy you have. When you are old, you will regret not cherishing it. I feel good now." Lu Ren said after thinking for a while.

If the system had eyes, it would definitely be wide open at this moment. It seriously suspected that Lu Ren was playing a trick on it. Do you think your reason makes sense here?

As Lu Ren said this, he went down to the third floor. The layout of this floor was finally different from the previous two floors. It was a place with fourteen small laboratories.

Lu Ren could easily enter these laboratories, but they were empty and nothing was left.

Lu Ren looked at each room one by one and stopped at the thirteenth laboratory. He felt that there was a clue inside.

He opened the sealed door, and sure enough, there were some things left in the laboratory, but not from hundreds of years ago, but from today.

"The air quality here is really bad. It feels like the ventilation ducts in this laboratory are blocked by something." The system reminded Lu Rendao as he opened the door.

He first glanced at the things on the table, and one thing caught his attention.

"Why does this small bag look so familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere." Lu Ren muttered to himself.

Then he turned his head to look at other things, "Communicator, these things are indeed the missing Valkyrie."

Lu Ren fell into deep thought. He was thinking that except for the dust left by the places where he turned them over, the rest of the places were not contaminated by the dust here at all.

If these things have been here for so long, they should be covered with at least a light layer of dust, but there is no dust on them now, which proves that they have not been here for too long.

But the last team of Valkyries have been missing for ten days. The person behind the scenes collected their things and threw them here.

It won't be too long since the air here is circulated before Lu Ren opens the door, and the things placed here will soon be covered with dust.

Therefore, the only explanation for why there is no dust on the upward side of these things is that they were thrown here by Lu Ren when he first arrived.

This can lead to another hypothesis: this person has some means of monitoring them and can know exactly where they are now.

"The air quality here is not good, but we haven't complained of difficulty breathing along the way. The air is only turbid in this laboratory." Lu Ren looked up at the entrance of the ventilation duct on the top. It seemed to have been built very large for easy cleaning.

"It seems that apart from some jumping thoughts, other aspects are not affected. But what on earth is affecting the host? I didn't detect any alcohol in the air." The system said rather depressedly.

Lu Ren tried the height and felt that he could jump up. He stepped back to the wall, sprinted towards the wall in front of him, then stepped on the wall with one foot, used the force to step onto another wall, and then grabbed the edge to push himself up.

After a set of smooth operations, Lu Ren really said to Tongzi: "I wonder how many points I can get, Tongzi?"

"The top level is like dancing, I think it's stupid." said the system.

It was obvious that Lu Ren just asked casually, knowing that the system would definitely bring up some of his personal grudges and would not be able to fairly evaluate his actions just now.

There was enough space in the ventilation duct for Lu Ren to crawl inside, which shows how big it was.

Not long after Lu Ren started crawling, he felt something hard pressing against his palm.

"What is that?" Lu Ren raised his hand and shone the flashlight in his other hand. "The badge of destiny. It looks like a Valkyrie has crawled over here."

"What is the reason that made them give up the normal path?" Lu Ren thought while holding the badge, but unfortunately he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

As he walked, a fork in the road appeared in front of Lu Ren. He closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and walked to the right.

"Men go left and women go right. Today, let's think in reverse and go to the right." Lu Ren said.

"Then why did you close your eyes just now, host?"

"This makes my case more compelling."

"The host's classic speech is illogical. What's going on?" The system complained, "You are like a blank slate. Why don't you use the authority of the Herrscher?"

"Because it's useless. If you look at it from another angle, it's like a completely black Summoner's Rift, covered with fog of war that can't be dispelled no matter what method you use." Lu Ren explained seriously.

"How come you can find places that can restrain you, the host, everywhere?" said the system.

“The author’s conviction.”

The system was shocked, "Host, what's wrong with you? How dare you say..."

"Ah, what did I say just now?" Lu Ren's suspicious look was mixed with three parts of confusion, three parts of anger, three parts of sadness and one part of carelessness.

"Okay, next year you will go up and receive the Oscar statuette." The system looked at Lu Ren and said.

After a brief "friendly" exchange with the system, Lu Ren continued to move forward.

Then there was no road ahead...

"Ahem, what an unexpected event. This plot doesn't go according to the routine." Lu Ren explained to save face.

The system didn't say anything. Silence was better than words at this moment. How could Lu Ren still have the face to back his words?

Lu Ren slowly retreated backwards. The space was not big enough for Lu Ren to turn around, so he could only retreat backwards.

"Oh, by the way, it should be okay for me to lose my body now, right?" Lu Ren said without thinking.

The system was stunned, wondering why you are asking this at this time, but it still said: "Don't you have the authority of the Herrscher of Consciousness? As long as you go back in time, there will be no problem. But why are you asking this, host?"

"Okay, I'll lie here and sleep for a while." After hearing the answer he wanted, Lu Ren nodded with satisfaction and his soul left his body directly.

"Ah? You think placing wards won't work, so you want to open the map yourself, right?"

Lu Ren's unconventional approach is far better than the author's.

Lu Ren's soul moved and flew towards another place.

"Tsk, bad, now he has found a way to get rid of me." The system still remained in Lu Ren's body, and its tone was full of helplessness.

"Why didn't I bind his soul at the beginning..."
