Chapter 62: Approaching the Truth
[Congratulations to the host for finding the secret under the Kuroshio, waiting for further unlocking ......]
The system's voice echoed in his head, and Levi stood still. He remembered where this was, and this was not Tokyo...... Rather, Spoke Island!
He also finally remembered why TEPCO felt familiar, in his previous life, he had always learned about the nuclear leakage on the spoke island in the accidental news, and at that time, it was this TEPCO that changed its tricks on the stage every day and staged the spirit of craftsmanship. It also gave him a little memory of the company's name.
Secrets under the Kuroshio...... Is this it......
Levi stepped in, fanatical art wrapped around him like the most faithful guard, and he looked at the strange and familiar, the combination of technology and industry.
But no one ......
Only the robotic arms are constantly moving on the ground and ceiling, and the buzzing sound pierces the eardrums.
Then, Levi stopped in front of a glass wall, and he saw a skeleton lying on the table in the glass room, and the skeleton was very clean, as if something had been cleaning it.
This sense of weirdness and irrationality makes Levi feel incomparably absurd. What's even more absurd is that the skeleton still glows faintly.
Levi was not mistaken, it was not the reflection, but the skeleton itself, which glowed faintly.
"Ryo Kobayakawa, the head of the 7th Pressurized Water Reactor Nuclear Power Plant, lost his life in a nap in 2048." The electronic sound on the ceiling pulled Levi's thoughts back.
“2048…… Year? Levi looked up at the ceiling, "How many years is it now?" ”
"Year 2777." The sound of no fluctuations on the ceiling sounded again.
Levi: "......"
He was silent, looking at the fluorescent bones in the glass room, from the movement of the bones, it could be seen that there should have been a little struggle before death, but the process of death should be very short, it should only be a little physiological discomfort and trembling, and then die.
The robotic arm next to it is busy working, repairing walls, removing rust, and maintaining ......
And the shimmering skeleton was in front of these robots, and it didn't look very peaceful.
Weird and absurd.
"What's your name?" Levi asked.
"Eva, D-class personnel, you can call me that."
"And how many people are in charge of the nuclear power plant now?" Levi asked tentatively.
"The last director, Mr. Halley McCass, dies in 2048, in the vault."
"And then?"
"Since then, I've been in charge of the maintenance and upkeep of the entire nuclear power plant."
"The cause of death?"
"Nuclear leakage."
Levi was stunned, he looked at the corpse that emitted a faint light, he had almost forgotten an extremely important knowledge after staying in ancient times for a long time, the things in nature that could emit light on their own were basically only highly radioactive objects.
He thought of a case he had seen in his previous life, during the First Industrial Revolution, when a watch factory used a radioactive coating solution to give the hands of a watch a luminous character, and the watch company successfully squeezed the watch market at that time. However, then all of their employees had an accident, their bodies eroded, melted, glowed green, and then died one after another, and the bones of the dead still glowed even after years of resting.
This incident also caused countless game comics in later generations to change the color of poisoning to green. Since then, green has become the mainstream view of people as the color and sign of poisoning.
Levi instantly realized that something was wrong, he was finally able to understand why those group of phantom divers didn't dare to come in, I'm afraid that all of them were high-radiation areas!
"Ora!"
The battle cry of fanatic art interrupted Levi, and the flames pointed at the skeleton within.
"You're going in?" Levi asked.
Levi walked to the glass door, the door opened automatically, and the frenzy art extended a flame to touch the skeleton, and for a moment the skeleton was directly dimmed, and the silver filaments on the fanaticism art were even denser.
"You're absorbing radiation?" Levi asked.
"Ora Ulra."
The skeleton seemed to have lost its support, falling apart and falling into pieces.
Fanatical art seems to have its own independent consciousness, but it is weak, or not intelligent enough, and it still needs to be controlled by Levi in general, especially when fighting. But now, he knew that the so-called stand-in might have thoughts that the ontology didn't understand at all.
It's like your own deep consciousness that you don't know Him yourself.
Taking a sharp breath, the fear caused by the radiation just now vanished in an instant, and the surprise brought to him by the stand-in was too great, and he also realized that it seemed that the stand-in would automatically appear after entering this cave, and then always cover him.
Levi also felt as if he was getting closer to the truth.
The secret of the Kuroshio, the curse of the fishing village, the secret of the nuclear power plant...... The truth of this world!
"I want to know everything."
"Sorry, not enough permissions."
"Does the plant have any other experiments besides generating electricity, such as underground nuclear weapons experiments?"
"Sorry, not enough permissions."
"Why did everyone die from a nuclear leak?"
"Sorry, not enough permissions......"
……
Levi asked several questions in a row, but the answers he received were all insufficient authority.
"Eva, take me to find the last person in charge!"
"Roger, the last personnel has been missing for 266428 days, and the unknown D-class personnel automatically have basic clearance. Please drive 46 meters ahead and turn right......"
This time, Eva didn't prompt the lack of permission again, and started navigating directly.
He followed the instructions of the artificial intelligence named Eva and began to walk into the depths.
Hopping on the elevator, he began to descend all the way to a depth of several hundred meters underground. Here, he looked through the resin-like glass, which seemed to be the bottom of the sea, but there was a dead silence, except for the dark shadow in the middle of the sea, twisting a little wave.
He felt like he was sinking, and the whole world was noisy except for the roar of unknown machinery, but the sound alone made it very quiet, because nothing else could be heard. Levi even had a feeling of going into the depths of the universe, a sense of loneliness that was completely cut off from the whole world.
The elevator sank until it stopped when it was displayed as "-65".
It still seems to be littered with manipulators, and all sorts of pipes appear on the ceiling.
"Walk straight ahead for 21 meters and you'll find the evacuation room." Eva's voice rang out from inside the elevator.
Levi walked forward, for some reason, he felt that his steps were too heavy to get the truth directly from Eva, he had to go to the vault it mentioned earlier to find it.
I don't know if it's some kind of sixth sense, but he thinks he might be able to learn everything there.
As he reached the entrance to the vault, the red-painted iron door opened automatically.
The truth, is it in this?
