Getting out of the car, several people entered the metropolitan subway hub as if nothing had happened. The door was open, and citizens came and went from here. Although the appearance of several people is quite conspicuous, it is not so much that it causes panic. After all, none of them wore ceremonial dresses, they just wore military uniforms. Pompey the Younger wore civilian clothes in military uniforms, and everyone else was in combat uniforms.

"Take the elevator in front of you and you'll get there." Faetong talked to him privately in the channel.

"Which? Lots of elevators in front. ”

"Not a public elevator. The place to get to the bomb floor was in the freight elevator at the back, and that floor couldn't be reached by a normal elevator. After all, there leads to something deeper. ”

Citizens who take the subway around are bustling around. It's getting dark, but the subway will stay open. The light shone on the smooth marble floor, bright enough to illuminate the shadows of passing people.

Although in many places it can be seen that the Romans deliberately created a sense of authoritarianism - for example, all the signs were in Latin, such as all the corners were at right angles, for example, there was not a single chair around that could be stopped, all the scenery was actually on the ceiling, and so on

Although this is indeed a modern temple, there are quite a few people here. In fact, the people who took the subway also included Romans, and Shangluo could occasionally see some black-haired Romans passing by. And Rome planted the bomb under the real one, which is somewhat of a bad taste.

[It's not much better for you to drop bombs in Las Vegas. 】

"You know, there's not a lot of people living there, it's a gambling den that hasn't been developed for more than a decade, and there are more hotels than bus stops. New Antioch is not only home to millions of people, but it is also your own city. If you just blow up the barbarians, I can think that the Romans are bad people. But you blow yourselves up, and first of all. How to say it, I think it's very powerful, what a night battle in the eight directions of the hidden knife style."

[That's why there are so few Romans. 】

"But I'm really interested in how the Romans are going to blow themselves up. Before I came, I thought it would look like a crystal chandelier. ”

Shang Luo looked up - there was indeed a huge crystal chandelier in the center of the hall, and there was a loud sound when the wind blew. This is indeed the decency that a metropolis should have. But if it were a bomb hanging overhead, it would be too much.

[Ahh You guessed it. 】

"Is it really the one on top of your head?"

[No, it's another.] You'll find out when you go down - as far as I know, it should be. 】

"She's right." "That bomb has many names, after all, it's terrible, and 'Mianbaiyun Township' is too bad for us, so we don't usually call it by its name, but instead of aliases." The most commonly used is the 'crystal chandelier', you will know when you see it, it really looks like a crystal chandelier. ”

Walking through the crowded halls and in front of a corner freight elevator, Pompey Jr. sped a few steps.

"Please wait." Little Pompey bowed slightly, and then pressed his hand to the elevator button - Shang Luo could notice that when he pressed it, a red light flashed rapidly, as if to detect the identity of the person who summoned the elevator.

Waiting for the vacancy of the elevator, little Pompey looked back: "There are not too many people sitting in this elevator." So my Roman king, your guards, may have to stop here. But don't worry, with the protection of Your Excellency Faetong and your personal 'alchemist', it is absolutely safe. ”

"Hmm." Shang Luo turned around and said hello, asking the few who came in to wait at the door for a while.

Soon, with a creak, the elevator began to move up from the lower floor.

bite

The elevator rose up from below and opened the doors. The interior is very deep, like a freight elevator. However, the floor is covered with a bright red carpet, and every fluff of the red carpet is clean and free of a trace of dust. The left and right sides are also polished stainless steel like mirrors, and the one facing the gate is simply a mirror.

Interestingly, not only the floor is carpeted, but also the ceiling is decorated with blankets, and it is also spotless. The entire elevator is extremely symmetrical, as harsh as a spherical chicken in a vacuum.

Someone was already standing in the elevator. This "person" may be more suitable for putting quotation marks.

An automaton stands in the elevator. The parts creaked a little when it first started, and it seemed like it hadn't started for a long time, but it quickly returned to normal.

Seemingly made of ceramic, the casing of the automaton glows with a soft white light. The joints are so cleverly fitted together that the seams are not visible. The wrists and knees are obscured by the tuxedo and skirt of the gown, and the face has the dignity and composure of a dancer. Ruri's eyes fluttered behind the mask-like stiffness, and she observed, and the mechanical jaw, which could only open at a limited angle, played a long-recorded voice:

"Welcome. How many floors are you going to? ”

"Go to the minus layer." Pompey Jr. replied.

"Understood. Please stand firm. The upper body rotated at an exaggerated angle, and the automaton turned around and pressed the mechanical dial next to it, which was the console of the elevator. Interestingly, there are two rows of buttons on it. At the moment it is 1 floor, down there are 2 floors, 3 floors, 4 floors, then -4, -3, -2 floors, and -1 floor at the bottom.

Shang Luo vaguely sensed something. It wasn't until the elevator started and descended to the junction of the "4th floor" and the "-4th floor" that his conjecture was confirmed - the elevator began to flip. Although the direction of gravity in the elevator is still vertically downward, he can still perceive from the perception of inertia that the elevator is flipping up and down until it is completely reversed from the original direction.

The others didn't feel any surprise, but little Pompey looked over: "You seem to be aware of it?" ”

"Is it upside down?"

"Because we're heading to the mirror layer, this is the special design of this [Otearoa]. Depending on the purpose of the mission, each [Otearoa] needs to be designed separately. The one in front of you, although it has been demolished, can be seen from its ruins that it is well designed. ”

Soon, the elevator reached the "-1" floor.

"Please watch your step." When the elevator doors opened, the automaton answered.

"Oh, thank you." Shang Luo subconsciously thanked him.

The automaton's eyes seemed to tremble. She opened her mouth, but all she could hear was the squeak of parts, because she couldn't make a sound that wasn't pre-made.

"Interesting." Pompey the Younger asked, "Are you Auroras accustomed to saying thank you for household appliances?" ”

"I'm used to saying thank you to everyone who has helped me – but then again, I do say thank you to printers a lot."
