Chapter 57 Keep going down

"That's true. Let's discuss something meaningful," Elizabeth said. "Before you came, I took people into the underground city and completed the preliminary exploration. As you can see, the ancient city is not safe. The devil is hidden in it and may jump out at any time. I didn't enter deeply, so I lured the devil to the entrance to annihilate it. We will go deep into it later, so please be careful. In particular, this underground ancient city is not ordinary. It seems to have some special shielding ability. Outside the door of the dungeon, whether it is the test of electronic instruments or the induction of psionic energy, you can't feel anything in the city, as if it is just an ordinary area. As long as you enter the ancient city, you can clearly feel the strong smell of chaos. The smell of chaotic demons fills every breath of the underground city, but it can't escape beyond the ancient city, which is very wonderful. And because of a special interference, I can't be sure what the interference is. In short, we can't determine the location of Rosina and the altar with psionic power in the dungeon.

"So that's it. That's why we haven't been able to find Rosina's hiding place. It's just like... Well, it's incredible." Silove said, "So how big is the underground ancient city?"

"Vavy," Gustav put a three-dimensional model of a metal stick on the table and then explained: "The so-called underground ancient city was originally a large elliptical honeycomb-shaped city. According to preliminary estimates, the city could accommodate millions of people in its heyday. Live, the whole city is in a hive-shaped three-dimensional shape, which is a common colonial urban structure, which can effectively resist floods, beasts, and other natural disasters. Praise the mechanical spirit. The design of this city is so beautiful. However, it is obvious that some special things have led to the destruction of the city. We still don't know what kind of situation they have encountered. In short, for some unknown reason, the whole city has sunk into the ground. The entrance we enter is actually the top of the city. If the city is built according to the rules, then the whole city will have a total of 23 floors, the middle floor, the twelfth floor is the core area, the upper floor is the agricultural and living area, and the bottom floor is mostly industrial and military areas. Of course, these are just predictions. To be sure, the city is very huge, and it is very easy to hide one or two people. It will be very difficult to fully explore the whole city in a short time. We need the protection of the mechanical god.

"I don't know where the target is hiding in the city, or even whether she is really hiding in the city. I can't be 100% sure that my spiritual power is disturbed in the underground city," Elizabeth said: "And we only have only three days to find her, defeat her, and now It has been more than half a day now. To be precise, we only have 61 earth hours. The biggest dilemma we are facing at present is that we can't complete the search of the city in 61 hours. We really need the protection of the mechanical god. It would be great if he could provide me with some luck.

"Hey, Madam Judge, pay attention to your words. The mechanical god is the god of knowledge, hidden in the precision machinery. He is not the god of luck."

"Forget it," Elizabeth laughed and said, "What are your chances of digging out a good stc? It won't be higher than winning the lottery. If there is no mechanical god to bless you to dig Coca-Cola?

"Wh-h!!!" Gustav fell into chaos, and he didn't know how to refute it.

"Leave this problem to us," Silove said, "Psionic power is too difficult for human beings, but it is not a difficult problem for us. As long as there is no strange shield, we can find her. Even Rosina can't escape the ranger's pursuit. Nothing in the world can escape Aletok's eagle's eye. We don't need the protection of other gods. At this time, only the God of War Kane can help us. Get ready to fight. Human beings, the enemy is very strong.

No one paid attention to the faith of the spirit clan. Their gods had almost died a long time ago. Li made a concluding speech directly: "Then please be prepared. Let's go now."

Soon, a special team composed of spirit rangers, combat nuns, judges Elizabeth and Li in scout equipment entered the underground ancient city, leaving Gustav and his fighting puppet outside the door. Here, the battle belonging to Gustav has just begun. He needs to design and help the incoming defense forces build a solid defense system. He needs more defensive turrets, more twisted long trenches, stronger fortifications, and stronger firepower. The two defense lines arranged by Li are far from enough in Gustav's opinion. The defense force is just a group of ordinary people. Once the worst situation is out, the group of soldiers will face powerful demons. If you want to rely on this group of soldiers to resist the devil's attack, you must have an elastic defense. The word "dead" sounds powerful, but once morale is exhausted, the front will completely collapse under heavy pressure. The elastic defense line itself will certainly need more fortifications and deeper depth.

And these problems have long been far away from Lee and his team. As Elizabeth said, after entering the city, the connection between the city and within the city is blocked by some strange energy. Not only psionic energy, but also electronic communication becomes impossible. Fortunately, this kind of blocking is only for the inside and outside of the city, and within this ancient city, whether it is electronic communication or spiritual. There is no obstacle to being able to explore. Although the rangers of the spirit clan are surprised about this, they also understand that this is not the time to satisfy their curiosity, and there are more important things for them to do to find Rosina's place.

In general, even the powerful prophet who is most familiar with psionic power in the spiritual clan, it is impossible to accurately find the location of Rosina. Rosina is not a stupid rookie who does not know how to control psionic power. She is a genius. She knows how to hide her psionic power and how to hide her figure in the dark. But now the situation is a little different. Rosina can hide her spiritual power, but she can't hide the energy emitted by the chaotic altar in the ceremony. The energy is not dazzling, but the smart psychic can easily detect it. After finding the chaotic altar, he naturally found Rosina.

Elizabeth can't find the location of the chaotic altar in the dungeon full of chaotic energy, which is too difficult for her to find a special odor among many odors and then accurately find the source of the odor. But for the rangers of the spirit clan, this is not a problem.

"The channel has been checked, and the downward channel is safe, and no enemy has been found for the time being," Li looked at Silufu and asked, "So now it's time to tell us where our target, Rosina, is she?"

"Uh-huh," Silof said awkwardly, "Something happened."

"What's the situation?"

"There is indeed a kind of spiritual interference in the underground city, which comes from the center of the city. It is like an early morning fog, covering the eyes in the heart and making people unable to see it. It's amazing. I don't know what interferes with our psionic sensing..."

"Okay, stop," Li asked, "Can't you feel the position of the chaotic altar?"

"No, I can feel the position of the chaotic altar."

"Can you see through the fog? That's good, so there's no problem."

"The problem still exists, my friend," Silove said, "We have found the location of the chaotic altar. But it appears that the altar is not one.

"More than one altar?" Li was slamed, "How many are there?"

"In the induction, there are six altars."

"Is this a strange formation? Or do we have to completely destroy the six altars?

"No, there should not be six altars. Only one is enough. She has only one person and can only hold evil rituals in one place. The other five should just be disguised to confuse our sight. If there is no strange interference, maybe I can tell the true from the false.

"But you can't do it now."

"Yes."

"So we have six goals, only one of which is true," Li shrugged his shoulders. "It's better than not having a goal, Mr. Elizabeth, please come here. We have some problems."

Elizabeth didn't move. "Can you solve it by yourself?"

"I'm afraid I have to rely on your wisdom."

Soon, the three leaders exchanged views. Silove marked the six chaotic altars on the map one by one. After the three read it, they easily came to the inevitable conclusion.

"Time does not allow us to search one by one. If we are lucky, we may find the right altar in the first place, but we may also be unlucky." Li didn't say what will happen when you are unlucky, but everyone knows that you can't rely on luck. This thing is unreliable. "So we can only divide our troops. Although it will weaken our strength, it can greatly increase the speed of exploration, and with our current plastic surgery, division of troops is also the best choice."

Silove and Elizabeth are nodding. The spiritual people do not believe in human beings, and so do human beings. The two groups that are guard against each other and have ghosts are united. If they do not drag each other, they are already blessed by the God Emperor and the God of War Kane. The division of troops is a relief for both sides, at least there is no need to worry about guarding the comrades around them.

The team was naturally divided into two groups. The Ranger team led by Silof shared three chaotic altars, while the remaining three were handled by Lee and Elizabeth, and the two sides agreed on contact information. And it is certain that once the real altar is found, that is, where Rosina is located, they will gather with each other. After insincere blessing each other, the two teams parted ways and went to their destinations.

After separating from the rangers of the spirit clan, Li and Elizabeth went directly to the passage to the fifth floor, where there was the first chaotic altar. The next time can only be described in one word - continuous down. The spiral staircase in front of everyone seemed to have no end. It went down, down, and kept spinning down. Looking down from the handrail on the edge of the spiral staircase, there was only endless darkness, as if looking at a deep abyss.

Occasionally, I will pass through a few corridors, cross two bottomless iron bridges, and then go down.

This is the case in the beehive city. In a residential area, just like in an ordinary city, there will be no special feeling, but if you walk in the passage to other levels, you will feel like you are walking on endless stairs. The upper and lower left and right are all man-made buildings, surrounded by a huge and magnificent city.

In the face of such a huge building, how small the human individual is. No wonder the mechanical god religion worships the gods of machinery. What high technology can do has long been far beyond the imagination of normal people. In the indigenous people who lack scientific knowledge, it is not much different from miracles.

As a sharp soldier, Li walked quietly at the forefront of the whole team alone. Far behind Li, there were the nuns with a loud sound of ping-pong. These nuns turned on electric rods and searchlights, and were about five floors away from Li.

Li is wearing a camouflage cloak, and his whole body is hidden in the dark shadow, as if it is integrated with the darkness. What is brought to the left eye is a single-piece multi-functional goggles. Now the goggles have turned on the low-light mode. In the goggles, Li can clearly see the masonry patterns of the stairs on the ground, as well as light The gauze-like dust spread lightly on the stairs.

Something is wrong. This place is so strange. Li stopped and waited for the nun behind him. It was not until he saw a beam of light shining down that Li coughed gently.

The nuns immediately stopped moving forward. Li heard the messy and hurried sound of guns. At the same time, a nun went down a short distance, and a beam of light shone like Li.

Lee came out of the darkness, "Is Elizabeth there? Something is wrong here."

"You stopped to say this?" Elizabeth came out and asked, "This place is full of chaos. The demons are hiding in the shadows peeping at the fresh flesh and blood. Something is wrong here. Have you just discovered it? Your sharp insight really amazes and admires me!"

"Elizabeth," Li asked, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine. You don't need to care, sir."

What Li saw was the opposite of what he heard. At least under normal circumstances, Elizabeth would never speak like this. He has now determined that there is something wrong with the judge.

It's really troublesome. It's not just this place that's wrong. Even the annoying but reliable Elizabeth has become something wrong.

"First of all, take a deep breath, Elizabeth, calm down. Did you hear or feel anything?"

Elizabeth gasped, and her face was pale and terrible under the light of the flashlight. I, I'm just a little hallucinating. It's nothing. It's an old problem. Huh, huh, don't be nervous."

Two nuns changed their standing position slightly and cleverly adjusted the direction of the muzzle. Another nun reacted accordingly.

This little action can't escape Li's eyes. Can I not be nervous in this situation? It's really her grandmother's bad luck. Although she scolded in her heart, Li understood that the current problem must be solved, and delaying it will only make things worse.

Elizabeth is a judge, but she is also a psychic. Most judges with psionic energy can exquisitely control their own power. They know how to control psionic energy, build mental defense, and avoid being attacked by demons. Psychic people with orthodox training can work for the empire, but this does not mean that they are absolutely safe.

This is like a gas tank in the kitchen. It can be used safely, but it must be treated with care. Judges with psionic powers are rarely devoured by demons in theory, because they are strictly trained and experienced. The judges of the demon court are experts in hunting demons, but "rare" does not mean that they will not appear at all. As long as it is a psionic, it may become the door to the devil's path to reality.

The best way to deal with this situation is to be optimistic about the psionics around you. If they show something wrong, then don't hesitate to kill them.

If Elizabeth's strange condition continues to deteriorate, she is likely to be beaten into a beehive by her own followers. Obviously, these nuns did not unify their opinions. Two nuns put the muzzle in a position where they could aim at Elizabeth at any time, and the other stood in a delicate place. She only needed to take a step forward to block the possible attack for Elizabeth.

Maybe if you haven't met the enemy, your own people will get angry first.

But it's not long since I entered the underground city!

Li swallowed his saliva and asked, "What sound did you hear?"

"Chewing," Elizabeth said, "It seems that someone is eating, biting bones and full of juice. Women and children are crying, scared and full of despair.

"Cre up, Elizabeth. Don't believe what you hear, recall the skills you have learned in school, soothe your heart, examine your heart, chaos is trying to affect you, you can easily get rid of this influence!"

"I know, it doesn't matter. It will be all right soon, ha, ha, I can handle it. I was the daughter of the emperor, and the emperor has been protecting me." Elizabeth closed her eyes and began to breathe deeply. She breathed the air at a special rhythm. For a moment, there was only Elizabeth's breathing in the spiral down stairs. After a while, when she opened her eyes again, she had recovered. Normal state.
