Little Pompey's face showed obvious doubts, but then he was relieved: "Aurora technology is really. It's amazing. ”

"I think it's even more amazing to be the one who planted the bomb under his feet."

"Hahaha~" Little Pompey smiled, "Actually, we think the same." Luckily, the bomb has now been defused – look at it. ”

The elevator door opened wide, and he stepped aside, allowing Shang Luo to see the scene outside the door—

Marble floors, temple-like columns, rolling train schedules, everything on this - 1st floor is the same as on 1st floor. Even the sound was exactly the same here - the noisy human voices were no different from what he had heard before.

"Captain Marcus, do you feel a chill in your back?"

"It's because you didn't turn on the lights."

"No, I have a feeling of being watched."

A familiar voice appeared in front of him—it was still on the first floor, the voice of Marcus and his crew. Even, their golden forms still remain in the air, but they don't have coats anymore.

"Interesting." Little Pompey tilted his head, "It turns out that the structure of those people is like this. ”

"This is, what place? It doesn't look like it's just a copy of the structure, right? ”

"Of course, of course." Pompey replied, "I thought you wouldn't find out until you came out." Because if you look closely, you can hear not only the sounds of the first floor, but also the figures reflected on the first floor through the smooth marble floors—the invisible shadows of your guards, which seem to be reflected as well. So, as you might have guessed:"

He paused: "It's all the invisible that is reflected here. Sound, light, and more. Only the form cannot be reflected—if your guards are not wearing the combat uniforms that bind and protect them, they will be able to descend through the mirror. ”

"They can't do it." Phae replied, "They're still human after all. The act of passing through the mirror will cause them serious insecurity. So you could have been relieved that there was no need to leave them on it. ”

"No, no, no, I did think it was safe enough down there, so I didn't let them down. Well, my king, the bomb you are going to check is there - it was, it was, it was. ”

He raised his hand and pointed to the top of the ceiling. There was nothing there.

This is the biggest difference between the whole hall and the first floor: the hall on the first floor has a huge crystal chandelier, which is not available here.

"The bomb was originally suspended here as a crystal chandelier. Phaethon can also attest to this. ”

"Hmm." Phaethon also looked up, "It was indeed me who supervised the installation here. Large boxes are brought in by a freight elevator, then disassembled and installed, suspended to the ceiling. Now that chandelier is no longer there. ”

"I have a question." Shang Luo asked, "What is the definition of intangible?" For example, the main structure of this building, this column. Why do these pillars also appear here? ”

Pompey the Younger replied, "Because there is always something that runs between the visible and the invisible." For what is invisible must be based on what is tangible. Marble is a material that can withstand the wear and tear of time, and a marble that appears in the earthly world will also appear in the invisible world. Such a subway station also exists in the invisible world. ”

"So. What about chandeliers? I remember there was a chandelier on it as well. If the bomb is gone and there is no chandelier here, does that mean you can choose not to show it up here? ”

"Of course. It is the exquisite design of this [Otearoa]. He gestured with his hands outstretched:

"The way to detonate it is to blow up two crystal chandeliers at the same time on the 1st and -1st floors. The one above is just an ordinary chandelier, the firing pin of the whole mechanism, and the one below is the bomb. After the virtual and the real collide and annihilate in a mirror image, [Otearova] will activate. This [Aotearoa] was used to detonate the entire New Antioch atomic bomb site, as long as the bomb here was detonated, a series of interlocking devices would spread along the subway network, enveloping the entire New Antioch in the 'Endless White Cloud Township', completely isolated from the outside world - at that time, this was the design. ”

He pointed again:

"The most important thing is the real 'crystal chandelier' below. The one above, if you check it out, is really just an ordinary crystal chandelier, just part of the ritual. ”

"So, [Otearoa] is installed in the Invisible World?"

"Yes." Pompey the Younger replied, "The essence of the so-called [Otearois] follows Newton's fourth law, which is that after the invisible world is detonated through ritual, it will have a corresponding effect on the visible world. In order to amplify this influence, we need to create a weak point in the earthly and invisible worlds: a mirror image. The mirror, the perfection of hypocrisy, shatters with a little force, and then breaks the fragile boundaries between the earthly and the invisible world. ”

As he spoke, he smiled: "Of course, I myself don't support this." I did not believe that such weapons should be deployed in New Antioch from the outset. After all, this is a terrible means to destroy the border, which will make everything in it fall irrepressibly. No matter how you think about it, it's still pretty scary. ”

"Hmm," Shang Luo nodded. In a way, this is indeed a kind of "annihilation". Shang Luo had seen the power of the invisible world, and he had seen it in Lake Nemi. The device in front of me is to make a mirror and then break it through the "fragile mirror" property. It's simply it

[It's a super huge villain, isn't it?] 】

"How do you know I'm thinking about this."

[The sympathetic law of the three laws of arcane, the foundation of magic.] Stretch it out, stretch it out, and it's this doomsday weapon in front of you. In fact, you are already inside the bomb, and the entire subway station, including the buildings on the ground, is part of the bomb, which is considered a shell. The chandelier of the first floor is a firing pin. And this Otearoa, which is not in place now, is the explosive charge of this bomb. Well, it looks like it's been torn down. 】

"Are you sure?"

[If it's not here, it's really not here.] Because the invisible world is the world of symbols, and not being is not being there. 】

"Come on." Shang Luo looked outside the door - this is the first floor, although it is the "-1" floor, but the door is indeed open.

"What happens if you walk out of here?"

【Outside?】 Outside is the 'Metropolis', a special place in the invisible spirit world, which is why New Antioch was chosen here. I don't recommend seeing it, but if you ask to see it, he probably won't refuse. If you really want to look, it's important to remember to go upstairs and ask for a light for your safety. 】
