Chapter 64: Charlotte (Fourth Update, for the Alliance Leader 'Su Xiaochan~' Plus Change)
The flames in the furnace in the center of the clearing gradually extinguished, the large machinery in the vicinity stopped running, and the steam gradually dissipated.
Su Xiao didn't know if these machines had a role, but destroying this place might be beneficial to future actions.
With the sharpness of the dragon slasher, it was no problem to destroy these machines, and soon, the steel machinery in the clearing was severely damaged.
Looking around at the surrounding situation, Su Xiao found an elevator in the corner of the clearing, the elevator was old in appearance and simple in structure, with only a metal frame, lifted by a wire rope, somewhat similar to an elevator.
Except for this elevator, there was no other route in the clearing, and Su Xiao entered the elevator, followed by Bubutny and the Little Emperor.
There was a wrench in the elevator, Su Xiao used his strength, clicked, the elevator first vibrate, and the sound of the operation of the mechanism came from the surroundings, and after a few seconds, the elevator slowly rose.
Crunchy......
The sound of metal rubbing was very difficult, and although the elevator could barely be used, Su Xiao felt that this thing would fall apart at any time, and Bubutny was scared and leaned on his leg.
As the elevator ascends, the surrounding scene changes, changing from a black stone wall to a metal texture.
Click!
The elevator suddenly sank downward, and Su Xiao's center of gravity went down to keep his body stable.
After a few seconds, the elevator returned to normal and continued to ascend slowly.
The bottom is already bottomless, and if the lifting and lowering fails, it will be a big trouble.
Fortunately, although this elevator is not good-looking, it is actually very strong, and there has been no failure since then.
After a few minutes, the elevator stopped, and it rose about a hundred meters, which was undoubtedly good news, Su Xiao was closer to the ground.
Outside the elevator resembles a large factory, the factory looks a little old, the scope is not small, the factory is divided into compartments, forming many corridors, the corridors are complex and complex.
When you enter the large factory, you will be greeted by a row of test tubes several meters high, soaked in strange animals, most of which are dangerous species, and occasionally humans can be seen.
These dangerous species or humans have strange appearances, some of them have two heads, and some have more than a dozen hands.
The extra body tissue shows signs of being stitched together, some are simply connected with metal, and rivets can be seen.
These dangerous species have no breath of life and are quietly soaked in solution.
"Which direction to go next?"
Su Xiao walked into the factory, and at this time he needed the little emperor to guide him.
"Probably in that direction."
The little emperor pointed to the right.
"Probably?"
"At this point, my instincts are gone."
Su Xiao looked at the little emperor with burning eyes, and the little emperor took a few steps back.
"I'm not lying this time."
“……”
After hesitating for a while, Su Xiao walked in the direction pointed by the little emperor, and now there was no other choice.
Walking in the factory for a while, Su Xiao suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, but he didn't feel that there were creatures approaching, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
Su Xiao quickly glanced around, there were many compartments separated by iron plates nearby, and after choosing one at random, Su Xiao pushed the door and entered.
In fact, not only did the little emperor's intuition disappear, but Su Xiao's perception was also greatly weakened here, something was suppressing his perception, and his perception range was reduced to less than two meters.
Inside the chamber is a small laboratory with a large number of instruments and test tubes, which is supposed to be where the alchemist works.
As soon as he entered the compartment, Su Xiao's pupils constricted, and he clenched the dragon slashing flash and prepared to fight.
There was a strange cryptman in the chamber, and the reason why it was strange was that the cryptman was wearing a yellowish white coat, one arm was made of metal, and he was holding a test tube in front of the test bench to debug something.
The two sides looked at each other, and the cryptman looked at Su Xiao in surprise, neither attacking nor shouting.
"Humans on the ground?"
It's strange that the Crypt Man speaks, but in a strange tone.
"Yes."
Su Xiao's figure stopped rushing forward, he didn't know where the other party came from, there was an unknown enemy approaching outside the compartment, it would be bad if this caveman suddenly shouted.
The situation was somewhat unexpected, and the cryptman was looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Human ...... It's great to finally have a human here. ”
The strange crypt man put down the test tube of his finger and looked Su Xiao and the others up and down.
The footsteps outside were getting closer, and the strange cryptman's face changed.
"Shhhhhh
Su Xiao was stunned, the other party seemed to be afraid that the creatures outside would find out.
"It's a patrol force outside, you're not an opponent, trust me."
The strange crypt man ran to the door, Su Xiao took a few steps back sideways, the other party's origin is unknown, and he must be cautious.
The strange crypt man closed the door of the compartment tightly, very afraid that Su Xiao and the others would be discovered.
The footsteps outside faded away, and the strange cryptman breathed a sigh of relief.
"Human ...... Humans on the ground, hahaha, great, I finally have a chance to get out, I can finally leave this ghost place, it's been six hundred years, I've been trapped in this ghost place for six hundred and thirty-one years, five months and seven days. ”
The strange cryptman began to weep bitterly as he spoke.
"Greetings Honorable Human, my name is Sherlock, and I was created by a sin alchemist to help him with his bullshit research."
The strange crypt man, that is, Sherlock's attitude is very enthusiastic, and it seems that it is a great thing to meet Su Xiao and others, but those big eyes mean that this guy's IQ is not low, and he has a plan.
"Honorable human beings, can you take the liberty of asking where you have entered here, whether it is the direction of the shrine hall or the alchemy gate."
Sherlock's eyes were full of anticipation.
Su Xiao thought to himself in his heart, this cryptman named Sherlock should really want to leave here, the origin of the other party is already obvious, this is an alchemy creature.
If Sherlock's words are true, then the other party has existed for hundreds of years, and the lifespan of the Crypt Man is only thirty years, and there is no other possibility except to be transformed into an alchemical creature.
One of Sherlock's arms is made of metal, and the sheen of metal can be faintly seen inside the neckline.
An alchemy creature who is eager to leave here, has lived here for hundreds of years, and must know everything about this place, a smile appeared on Su Xiao's face, the little emperor may not be important anymore.
"We're from the direction of the shrine."
"Tu Baba, I'm afraid of Art...... (Unknown Language)"
Sherlock cursed in the language of the Crypt Man, and the spark of hope in his eyes was extinguished.
"Isn't there an emergency passage here, why don't you get out of there?"
Su Xiao returned the dragon slashing to the sheath, Sherlock's strength was not strong, and he could solve it in a minute with his bare hands.
"The emergency passage is only available to the royal family, an alchemical creature like me...... After being used, it will be abandoned, damn alchemist, royal family who will not die well. ”
Sherlock's metal arm clenched and clicked.
"Sherlock, come here."
Su Xiao beckoned Sherlock to the corner on the side, although the other party's purpose could not be fully confirmed, but the statement that he wanted to leave here was very credible, and as for the character, it was extremely cunning at first glance.
Compared to the little emperor who is often clever but actually a little stupid, Su Xiao is more willing to cooperate with Sherlock.
Coming to the corner, Su Xiao whispered to Sherlock:
"My name is Bai Ye, and my eyes are also leaving here, let's leave together."
Sherlock rubbed his chin with his hand, glanced at Su Xiao, and said in the same low voice:
"Then we have the same purpose, but the big hole in the hall is at least a few hundred meters high, it is easy to get in, it will not touch any mechanism, it is difficult to get out of there, there are hundreds of kinds of mechanisms, and it is impossible to fly."
At this point, Sherlock sighed.
"I've been trapped here for hundreds of years, and I know how wonderful the outside world is, can you understand the pain?"
Su Xiao patted Sherlock on the shoulder.
"What a tragic encounter, what did you mean when you said that only the royal family could use the emergency passage."
"This, the door of the emergency passage was originally made by the alchemist ordered by the royal family, and that door can be used to check the bloodline of the person who opened it with a special method, and that door is actually an alchemy creature without intelligence, and the main materials are pure gold, Karma Marson circuit, Bayazina elemental ......"
Sherlock chattered endlessly, this guy's alchemy level is not low, after all, he has been trapped in these hundreds of years.
"Stop, I don't understand, in general, the royal family can open that door?"
"Yes, but it's not right, the royal bloodline is to activate that door, and I know how to open it after that, but what's the use of it."
Su Xiao was secretly happy in his heart, and his face was silent, Charlotte was much more reliable than the little emperor.
"That little brat, do you see?"
"Who is he?"
"A member of the royal family."
Sherlock was stunned, his eyes widened, and his face showed ecstasy, but the hatred in his eyes was undisguised.
"Friend, I must be your most reliable partner, let's go out together."
Charlotte was trembling with excitement.
"Okay, let's go out together."
Su Xiao and Sherlock looked sideways at the little emperor, who instinctively took a few steps back.
