Chapter 1040: The Darkness Under the Lamp
The footsteps of the three people echoed.
This metal corridor buried deep underground reflects their footprints.
The Mist believer did not think about hiding the fact that they arrived.
After all, they were discovered as early as when they were taking the elevator.
The other party should be waiting for his group now.
So, instead of sneaking in, it is better to issue a declaration directly.
"call--"
The mist believer stood in front of the metal gate at the end of the corridor and took a deep breath.
He didn't know what would be hidden behind this door.
I don’t know what such a large underground space is used for.
But at least he understood a little.
No matter what is behind this door, it must be the core of the other party.
So, the mist believer slowly exhaled the breath just now and pushed open the door that isolated the two worlds.
...
"Buzz buzz--"
"Ding bee, ding bee."
What turned into information and entered the mind of the foggy believer was not the first thing that caught his eye, but the mechanical sounds that poured straight into his ears like a storm.
"What the hell are you doing here...?"
Qiu Frostmoon's eyes were stunned.
In this huge underground space, many tall machines that he didn't know at all were lined up one after another. The machines flashed with red and green indicator lights while making special sounds that only they could make.
"I think, at least it's not a server room." Ming Zhubanxue didn't know those machines either, "because Jinse's server room was on it, but at this scale..."
In addition to these large machines, Qiu Frost Moon also noticed something.
That is wires... or cables.
Because countless cables extend from those machines, spread on the ground, and gather towards the deeper part of this underground space.
"Do you want to destroy these things temporarily?" Ming Zhubanxue looked at the mist believer and asked tentatively.
"It's better not." The mist believer shook his head, "Don't act rashly, after all, we are in a very ignorant and passive state now, which is not good."
"So?" Ming Zhu wrinkled his head.
"We keep moving forward, have we seen these lines?" The mist believer pointed to the long winding snakes on the ground. "They must have led somewhere, follow them."
So Mingzhu nodded with Xue and followed the mist believer.
"But then again." Qiu Shuangyue expressed her opinion while observing the surroundings. "This underground space and these machines seem to have been stored here for a long time."
"Why do you say that?" asked the mist believer walking in front.
"Look at this place." As he said that, Qiu Shuangyue squatted down, picked up a thick cable on the ground, and pointed to the bottom of the cable just now with his other hand.
Below the cable is a clean ground, but next to the cable's original location is already full of dirty traces caused by the passing of time.
In other words, since the cable is laid here, its location has never changed.
"It seems that the time this underground space has been experiencing is probably equivalent to that of Jinse himself." The mist believer inferred.
"Don't forget that elevator." Qiu Shuangyue's expression was a little solemn. "Since that elevator existed when this building was first built, the underground facility bound to that elevator must have been carried out at the same time."
"You are all thinking about these issues." Akira Banxue's eyes were hidden, "and I was wondering where is the person who killed Kotojuro now?"
"If he doesn't show up for a moment, then we will always be in danger." Ming Zhubanxue was cautious.
"We are in danger long ago." The Misty Trust shook his head, "From the moment when Xia Wuli sent us back... no, it started far earlier than that moment."
"And the reason why we can survive until now is probably not relying on our own strength, but—"
"But she didn't have the extra money to manage everyone in person."
A man's voice suddenly rang in this underground space.
"Otherwise, I don't have to let me do anything like Kotojuro."
I only ask about his voice, but I don’t see him.
In this underground facility full of large machines, it is obviously not an easy thing to find the person who makes the sound, so the three of them could only listen to the voice of the strange man and answer in their own voice.
"Who are you?"
The Mist believer directly threw out the first question of the three questions about philosophy.
"I think you should know me." The man's voice replied, "Although you have never seen me."
"Ah, by the way." The man's voice sounded like he suddenly remembered something, "You are here to find Xia Wuli and the Longye of the Border."
"What do you think?" asked the mist believer.
"About Xia Wuli, you may be disappointed." The man's voice was a little helpless, "Because of the mistakes caused by the previous timeline, he used a retrospective at the last moment to bring us all back a day ago, so shortly after the time was retreated, he was swallowed up by a man."
"Swallow?" Qiu Shuangyue obviously did not understand the meaning of this word.
"What." The man sneered, "Are you here just because you don't know anything?"
Ignoring Qiu Shuangyue's ignorant remarks, the man continued, "But although you can't see Xia Wuli, I think you can still meet again at the long night of the edge."
"But before that." The man's voice suddenly changed. "Since you have witnessed the truth and have the ability to observe, why can you still be so sure that the long night on the edge must be not an AI but a person? I want to hear your views."
"The answer is simple." The voice of the mist believer echoed in the facility, "because I can't believe you."
"Can't believe me?" the man smiled, "Do you know who I am?"
"From the prompt you just said, I think your identity may not be someone else." The Misty Trust shook his head, "So, are you planning to let me say your name, or are you introducing yourself to you?"
"Ha, my position does not allow me to introduce myself to you leisurely at such a time." The man smiled, "But since you know what you know, then please come and introduce me."
"Your tone is really as lazy as ever, and you are a charlatan-"
The mist believer said those words.
