Who says the Magic Cyber ​​Police can't overthrow the Heavenly Gang?

Page 467

Following his senses, Latis stepped over the fallen monsters and finally arrived at the top of the arena.

It appeared to be a ring of houses nestled in the rocks. Through the windows of the corridor, one could see the packed stands below. The challengers who had just been defeated by Zot were still lying in the arena. It seemed that the power of light had been absorbed by Latis, and the entire arena was slowly darkening. Only the stone crystal lamps around the arena were still emitting stored light.

Latis withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the tightly closed door across the window. He approached the door and tried to push it; the door made a clicking sound, as if to say that it had been locked.

Latis scratched his head, calmed himself down, and channeled his magic to cast a "knocking" spell in an attempt to unlock the lock. After a moment of magic circulation, a fluctuation came, and Latis received feedback that the spell had failed.

It seems that some powerful force within is suppressing the operation of ordinary magic, so the magic runes collapse as soon as the spell touches the lock.

Latis stroked his chin. Since civilized methods weren't working, he figured he'd have to resort to violence. However, just as he was about to physically unlock the door with his fist, he noticed that a device resembling a parking meter standing to the side suddenly lit up.

"Please select the gift you wish to give and deposit the lucky coins."

Some distorted text appeared on the surface of the device, and then a gift list appeared below the menu.

"Sea Dragon Bloodline Essence: 100000 Gems"

"Fire Dragon Bloodline Essence: 100000 Gems"

"Red Dragon Bloodline Essence: 100000 Gems"

……

"Why does this look so familiar..."

Latis muttered to himself, flipped down a few pages, and his brows furrowed immediately. This was more than just familiar; it was exactly the same as he remembered. This was clearly the exchange list of the magic network on the monster port!

It's just a change in currency... Could it be that the Colosseum has developed something that can connect to the magic network for quick exchange?

A question suddenly arose in his mind. Since entering the underground, he had rarely encountered magic networks, so many of their functions were no longer available, which he found quite unusual. When he occasionally encountered broken magic networks, they felt like old spider webs in the corner of a wall, lacking vitality and only able to respond normally. Even after waiting for a long time, no new tasks would be refreshed.

So, he was quite surprised when he first saw something related to the magic network.

"Hey? Master, look, doesn't this look familiar?"

Leafa's voice came from beside him. Latis looked down at the girls who were curiously flipping through the exchange list, and then turned his gaze to the option she was pointing to.

"Magic Synthetic Bone: 50000 Gems"

"Isn't this the thing that the Twin Butterfly assassin had?" Radist suddenly realized, "So it was exchanged at the higher levels of the Colosseum?"

"So, the challengers and even the spectators in the arena could actually exchange items here?" Jennifer pondered, stroking her chin. "A coin recycling device? Interesting..."

"That's why they're so enthusiastic about betting and gambling."

Latis shook his head, stared at the device for a moment, and then noticed a custom option at the bottom of the page. Curious, he clicked on it and found that he could enter his own input.

"Hmm... I'll give it a try, Epper..."

After he entered the options to try, he saw the device's screen flash for a moment before displaying the result.

"Apergo: 5000 Ringgit"

"No, why is it so expensive?" Radist's eyes widened immediately, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. "That's right, transporting the Epper Fruit to the underground would cost a lot... No, your device that generates things out of thin air doesn't need to pay for transportation, does it?"

He shook his head with a grumble, tried several different things, and after a moment's thought, entered "gate key".

The device's screen suddenly flickered for a moment, then displayed:

"Main Gate Key: 1 Gem"

"Wow? It actually works?"

Latis raised an eyebrow. Although the option of spending 1 coin made him vaguely feel a sense of urgency, he also had a feeling that behind this door, there might be a new secret, and that this secret was closely related to his identity as a goddess priestess.

He took a coin from Jennifer's pocket, inserted it into the coin slot, and then pressed the option to exchange it for the gate key.

hum...

The outlet at the bottom of the device slowly opened, and a key about the size of the girl's palm fell out.

Latis picked up the key, examined it, and couldn't help but show an expression of "I knew it."

When the device hummed just now, he felt a familiar magical fluctuation, just like the fluctuation he felt when exchanging items on the Magic Network. So it seems that this device is indeed related to the Magic Network.

I'm really curious about the specifics.

He patted the heads of the girls who were still curiously flipping through the list, pushed them aside, and then picked up the key and inserted it into the lock of the door.

"Hooray, I'm coming in!"

Latis said something strange, and amidst the girls' odd looks, knocked on the door and then turned the key.

crunch--

The heavy door was slowly pushed open. Latis cautiously peeked inside, looked around, waited a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, pointed inside, and turned back with a smile:

"Don't worry! There's nothing in there, let me go in again... Oh ho ho oh oh oh!"

Before he could finish speaking, a powerful surge suddenly swept through the quiet room. A mysterious force rushed out rapidly, like tadpoles searching for their mother, and burrowed into Latis with all its might.

An extremely strong feeling of fullness surged through him, and Latis's eyes rolled back instantly. He gripped the doorframe tightly and gritted his teeth, saying:

"What, what is this? What got in here! Ugh, ugh—no, if I escape in public, my career will be ruined..."

Suddenly, the feeling of being filled vanished for some reason, as if it had settled down after taking root, and everything suddenly became calm.

"...My career, well..."

Latis subconsciously turned his head to look at the girls who were all hiding far away, staring at him with terrified expressions. His lips twitched slightly, and he gave an awkward, dry laugh. He straightened up and muttered to himself:

"What's going on... Is something evil trying to trap me...?"

He clenched his fists and then relaxed them. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, he pushed the door open completely and looked into the room.

The room was similar in layout to the previous room containing the fragments of the divine kingdom, except that instead of the fragments of the divine kingdom resembling a light source, what was floating on the display stand in the middle was a key.

"Huh? This is..."

Latis's eyes sharpened instantly. Others might not recognize this key, but to him it was something all too familiar! This was the very beginning of the story—the Magic Network Key!

No wonder the Colosseum's higher-ups could set up that device outside the entrance that was exactly the same as the Magic Network exchange list; it turns out they possessed a Magic Network key!

Wait, if that's the case, then that force just now...

Latis quickly closed his eyes and carefully sensed his condition. He then discovered that although his body was not affected at all, there was a force on him that swayed from side to side with his movements, making it look like he had a tail growing out of his butt.

"..."

Latis frowned and glanced at the girls who had returned to his side. Although they didn't have much of a sense of this power, it was still a bit too strange, like playing with a plugin in public!

He walked into the room without changing his expression, took the magic network key from the display stand, and then, taking advantage of the girls' blind spot, quickly reached behind him and pulled the force out from behind their buttocks.

A powerful surge of magical energy erupted once more. Latis clenched his fist, glared at it, and released his priestly power to envelop it, whispering:

Are you MagicNet?

Although the power did not respond, it gradually calmed down after sensing Latis's priestly abilities. Latis couldn't help but stroke his chin, a sense of curiosity welling up in his heart.

Although I had felt the spontaneous movement of the magic net when I was on the surface, it was more like a pre-programmed automatic virus removal program, full of human-machine interaction, unlike this small ball of magic net in my hand, which would actively cling to me.

Still not quite sure about the situation with this magic net, Latis held it in his hand for the time being and used his other hand to open the book in front of the display stand.

"The Fool's Dark Web Chapter 1: The Magic Web Sinks into the Earth"

……

Just as the Fools' Colosseum was in full swing, one day, a strange change suddenly occurred in the world, and an extremely powerful force descended.

Under such terrifying power, all the monsters underground trembled with fear and unease. Fortunately, the power remained on the surface first, and only a portion of it fell into the ground.

The mysterious power that had fallen into the ground was perhaps too dispersed and gradually became less active, which finally put the monsters at ease.

Using its powerful intelligence capabilities, the Colosseum of Fools began to investigate the human world. After a long time, it finally learned that humans called this power the Magic Web, which originated from a miracle of the goddess of magic.

However, such miracles do not belong to humans alone.

Fool's Arena quickly discovered that some monsters had acquired the authority of "Magic Network Police." After luring some of these monster police to the underground with generous rewards, Fool's Arena successfully used the fragmented environment of the underground Magic Network to kill them and seize the Magic Network key.

Initially, the Colosseum's higher-ups also considered using their own synchronized keys to control the magic network. However, they were horrified to discover that even when synchronized with the magic network in an "offline state," the magic network could accurately identify these thieves who had stolen the keys and use its meager power to crush them.

After a long series of attempts, the Colosseum's higher-ups finally succeeded in experimenting with the magic network key, finding a loophole in the magic network trapped within the Colosseum, and successfully extracting the exchange function.

However, after the magic network was exchanged, its power began to weaken rapidly. In order to maintain the magic network, the higher-ups of the arena studied for a long time and finally discovered that the lucky coins that temporarily held chaotic magic power in the monsters' bets could replenish the magic network. Thus, this business was established.

Upon seeing this, Latis couldn't help but recall that in the previous simulation, the leader of the Black Hat organization had also cracked the Magic Network using the Magic Network Key, thereby creating things like Black Hat Coins.

I don't know why the goddess would leave behind something as dangerous as the key to the magic network. What if the magic network is taken over by bad guys or the magic network itself? Wouldn't the goddess lose a crucial ability?

He shook his head and continued reading.

The later chapters of the Fool's Dark Web mainly record what the higher-ups of the Colosseum redeemed. Apart from the rewards given to the challengers, what was unexpected yet also expected was that they mainly redeemed "muscle growth potions".

"...Oh, why bother?"

Latis sighed, somewhat speechless and with a touch of pity. After all, not everyone has 20 centimeters like him, so this choice was understandable.

After reading the Fool's Dark Web for a while, Latis suddenly felt the magic web in his hand slowly unfold and synchronize with his consciousness. Then, he felt a slight tremor in the magic power within his body, and the interface of the magic web appeared before his eyes.

"The official spells are all there, but the unofficial ones aren't included... There's nothing in the discussion area, but the exchange list is still there. If I weren't so short on points, I'd definitely try to exchange some..."

Latis checked the functions of the magic network for a moment, then suddenly paused, muttering to himself:

"No, this magic network isn't the kind on the surface that has endless magic power... Now that it's connected to my magic power, doesn't that mean the things I exchange will consume my magic power? Wait a minute, it'll cost me points and consume my magic power, but you, BYD, don't have to contribute anything at all?"

The magical net binding him surged unabashedly. Latis's face twitched slightly. Suppressing his urge to retort, he sighed and said:

"Well, consider it a portable spell list. I wonder if this magic net will return to its original form once we get back to the surface."

Latis stroked his chin, still unsure. In his mind, the underground magic network and the surface magic network were quite different. Although they had the same structure, they felt like distant cousins ​​separated by a long time.

"but……"

He raised his hand and touched the magic net beside him, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He wasn't sure if it was because this frequently used magic net had retained some of its activity, but he seemed to feel something different from the magic nets floating in other parts of the underground.

It's as if... this magic net possesses some kind of sentience.

He even vaguely sensed a subtle resonance within his own body, but the resonance was too weak for him to detect immediately.

However, Latis had a premonition that if his magic affinity were to increase to a certain level in the future, all these secrets would be revealed to him.
