Chapter 111: Underground Facilities
Icy cold, heavy. It feels very uncomfortable to be crushed under the ice.
She had this feeling when she was a child, in the cold water of the lake, when the water pressure was not easier than now, and that feeling of darkness and despair she will never forget for the rest of her life.
Just then, a voice echoed in my ears, as sudden and exciting as then, like a light that suddenly appeared in the darkness.
"Summoned beast, are you dead?"
But there was no warmth at that time, and the voice at this time made her a little disgusted, but not to the extent that it annoyed her, "I won't die in front of you, stinky white horse!"
That said, but she clearly felt the call of her companion, and she struggled to escape from under the ice, but was stopped, "Don't come out, you stay inside first." ”
"What do you mean, do you want me to be a shrunken turtle?"
"No, it's for you to be a hero. ”
Ji Keyan was stunned, how to be a hero when he stayed under the ice?
"How, do you want to do it?"
"What to do?" she said impatiently, as if she had only now reacted, why did she, a quasi-special spirit being, listen to the words of this completely unreliable junior spirit master?
"I remember when you used the particle wormhole against Mo Rui, but now I don't think there's a chance for you to use it, and it's too risky. I came up with a trick to throw her out, but it requires your cooperation. ”
Originally, I didn't want to listen to his nonsense, but now in this situation, it doesn't hurt to brainstorm," you say. ”
"Listen, I can draw a stand-in on both you and Megumi Akai, and once activated, you and her will swap places. You said your wormhole is limited in a short period of time, right?
Hearing this, Ji Keyan completely heard his intentions, but things like stand-ins still made her eyes shine, and this kind of spatial spirit technique that could be performed without mastering the ability to distort time and space made her full of curiosity and awe, "You...... Is it reliable?"
"Rest assured, absolutely reliable. I can't fight, but I'm good at sneaking away, and I'm good at this kind of escape talisman technique. Now answer me, how far can you run?"
"Haven't tried...... I try my best. ”
"Okay, then I'll start the timer now, and I'll start the magic on time in ten minutes. Xiaoling and I will find a way to hold her back. ”
"Good. After answering, Ji Keyan couldn't believe that he would be commanded by someone like Bai Ma Xiao, but such a plan was indeed the most secure and effective at the moment - if his stand-in was effective.
Perhaps, from the night of the Shengyue Pavilion, he should no longer underestimate this man.
After a few seconds of self-consciousness, she immediately reacted, quickly closed her eyes, and let her spiritual power wander all the way through the ice cave on the top.
The hole in this ice cave is very deep, and she doesn't know if she can return to it in ten minutes, so she can only do her best at the moment.
On the other side, after Bai Maxiao finished speaking, he said to Wu Zhi on the side, "Pinch the watch, ten minutes." ”
Takeshi set a stopwatch on his watch, and then whispered, "Although your plan seems to be good, if we carry it out under Akai's observation, he may soon send Megumi back, and ...... then."
Hakumashi had thought about that, too, but the room was empty, with the bottom of the lake — now an ice cave — surrounded by walls with screens, and he had no idea where the camera was.
At this time, Shiratori Ling and Xiaohui fought for a while, and were punched by Xiaohui to the wall, after Akai said a cool word, Shiratori Ling angrily hammered the wall, bursting the screen hammer, and the Akai on that wall also disappeared.
"Hahaha, don't be so excited, Lord Shiratori, I can't see you behind you like this. ”
The demeanor behind it?Bai Maxiao realized something, "Xiao Ling hammered the screen behind her, Akai can't see her back, do you think the screen is the camera?"
Wu Zhi thought for a while, "There is indeed that kind of design that integrates the display and camera, and I think it's very good to use it here." What do you mean......"
"With a minute left, you help us break down the remaining five walls and make sure that Old Man Akai won't see her when we send her out. Maybe you can fool the past. ”
......
Ji Keyan tried his best to concentrate all his spirit, sent his spiritual power to a very far place, and after an unknown time, he finally passed through the deep cave and returned to Akai's study, and then passed through the elevator door and continued to move up through the elevator shaft.
Apparently the same was true when she came in, and she was walking back until she crossed the elevator shaft and reached the black market, which was already the limit, and the ten-minute time limit was almost up.
She didn't wait any longer, a wormhole appeared beneath her, and when she fell into it, she was already on the black market.
As soon as she landed, she staggered out, she wanted to get as far away from the crowd as possible, and at this time she would become a killing machine at any time.
Walking through the crowded black market streets doesn't attract anyone's attention at all, but when she bumps into a man, she is stopped.
"You're not...... Miss Ji?"
Ji Keyan raised her head, "Ning Yuan?" Then she saw Jin Santu and two other girls she didn't know.
Jin Santu and Ning Yuan are very familiar to her, the first time they met was tied up by them outside the Shuiquan Tomb, and the second time they met was at Haneda Airport, trapped in the detention room with this stupid big guy named Ning Yuan.
But at this time, she was not in the mood to greet them, so she put aside Ning Yuan and continued to walk forward, and when she walked past the girl she didn't know, she found that she had been staring at her strangely.
This sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl actually looks a little like the killing machine.
After a moment's stunned effort, a cloud of smoke suddenly exploded in front of him, as if passing through a wormhole, and the scene in front of him suddenly returned to that room.
Looking at the stunned Shiratori Ling, she knew that Shiraba Shiro had succeeded.
"How ...... this?"
"I'll explain it to you when I have time, Ling. We're going to get out of here now. Ji Keyan looked at Bai Maxiao and said slightly apologetically, "I couldn't send her too far, and now she's on the black market street above." ”
Hakuma didn't expect to send Xiaohui far, and said with a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, the important thing is that we have plenty of time to get out of here before Akai figures out what happened and sends her back." ”
"Then what should we do now?" Ji Keyan asked subconsciously, she who originally didn't trust Bai Maxiao actually changed her attitude after the tactics just now, and even she felt a little surprised.
However, Bai Maxiao did not live up to her knee-jerk move, he really had a plan for the next step, "We can't go back to the top at this time, but there must be an exit to this room, but it is definitely not the hole above." Did you notice, Xiaohui came in through a door? ”
As he spoke, everyone looked at the wall in unison, and Takeshi asked, "But how do we open it?"
"I don't need to open it. Bai Bird Ling looked at Ji Keyan and said, "Let's go straight over." ”
A door was nothing to Ji Keyan, and she effortlessly created a wormhole through this wall.
The four of them walked through the wormhole to the back of the door, and in front of them was a hallway, white tiled, round arched corridor, and the walls were full of neat cables, which looked like a space capsule or some kind of large laboratory.
Walking through this corridor, there is an elevator at the end. They had no choice at this time, but fortunately, there was no fork in the road in front of them, so they could only go one way to the end.
Most cooperatively, the elevator has no panels, only a button, and when the button is pressed, the elevator will run and send them underground.
After going through such a deep hole to get to that room, this elevator is still going down, I don't know how deep it is.
However, what they saw next was enough to take their breath away.
This elevator shaft is transparent, like a sightseeing elevator, they can clearly see that the outside is a huge space, cylindrical structure, annular floors, there are more than 30 floors, each floor is covered with rooms, from time to time there are people in white coats walking by, like a scientific research base. And their elevator is in the middle of this space, surrounded by these pure white ring facilities, it is hard to imagine that there are such large facilities in such a deep underground, the bottom is a garden, rockeries, fountains, everything.
Along the way, Wu Zhi's did not have time to express surprise here, but lowered his head with a worried expression. Bai Ma Xiao saw that he was worried about Xiao Hui, and comforted him, "Don't worry, when we go out, we will definitely go to Emperor Ling to complain, and when the time comes, we will send a letter here, and then let him change Xiao Hui to the way it is." ”
"Thank you...... But I'm sorry that Megumi has caused you so much trouble. ”
Ji Keyan smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, I believe that your wife is not like this, it is estimated that she was brainwashed by Akai." ”
"But ......," at this time, Shiratori Ling suddenly asked worriedly, "I always feel that things are not so simple." Do you say that Akai went to great lengths to build such a large research facility just to brainwash his daughter, and although she was indeed difficult to deal with, it was not enough to challenge the entire CIAI. ”
Everyone was silent, this really didn't make sense, Bai Maxiao guessed, "Maybe this is just one of the projects, this research facility is studying something else." ”
"Perhaps, I hope I'm overthinking. ”
After a while, the elevator reached a hallway at the bottom, and everything outside was obscured, leaving only a new hallway in front of it.
At the end of the hallway was a door that opened automatically as they walked in front of them, revealing another large space.
It's like a huge deep well, their location is at the highest point of the deep well, there are stairs to reach the bottom of the deep well, the layout is still white, the lights are very bright, a huge facility is placed at the bottom, occupying more than half of the space at the bottom, and this facility is like a pillar standing in the middle, the pillar is full of fruits, and there are many white coats holding documents at the bottom, pointing at these fruits.
Although this place is also spectacular, it is much inferior to the outside, and it didn't take long for Bai Ma Xiao to be eager to try, "Let's grab a few people and ask where the exit is." ”
"Those...... Is it Xiaohui?" Wu Zhi raised his hand at this time, pointed to the fruit on the pillar-shaped facility, and asked in a lost voice.
Bai Maxiao thought this wording was very strange, and when he looked closely, he found that the fruits were actually oval-shaped sleeping pods, and in each of them stood the same woman, a pure white jumpsuit, exactly the same as Xiao Hui, who had just fought with them.
