The Remaining City's Ideal across the Sky Chapter 52 The Unfinished Arrival
"There is nothing we can touch in this area, and no one will come...wait a minute." Before Alexander left, he found some pen and paper and wrote in the frozen room, "Don't move when in danger" to add a layer of insurance.
"Then go to the teleportation room." Esther looked back hesitantly at the frozen functional device, but still left. At least it wasn't something he was considering now.
"I hope there won't be any changes here." Carlin watched as Sofia collected the powder and threw away the ashes.
After that, the four returned to the transfer hall.
"I have to make a note during the break." Seeing that the three of them had no intention of paying attention to her, Sofia asked again: "Which area should we go to next?"
"There may be energy supply equipment in the forging area. I have to find a way to charge the doll first, or are you almost unable to suppress those devil's vines?" Esther looked at Carlin.
"Based on the current situation, I suggest you go to the forging area. There must be energy for forging. You actually found someone who can lead the way, so you must try to get it up to work first." Alexander knew that there was something in Carlin's body.
Of devil's ivy.
"I'm not in a hurry here, I'm just more active. Let's go to the forging area." He wasn't afraid either.
"Let's go then." Sophia walked to the teleportation circle in the forging area. "After I feel it, should I use otherworld detection to ask some questions and see if I can get answers, so as not to run into something dangerous again."
After teleporting in, it was a stuffy passage with black walls, which was extremely depressing. The place seemed to be a factory that was not in operation, with some lathes and mechanical parts.
Sofia can use her spiritual consciousness to observe the surrounding situation, Alexander and Esther have dark vision, and Karin's feather cape can glow.
"Search and see, be careful of traps and guards." Alexander had forgotten what Sofia asked before teleporting.
Behind the few people there was supposed to be a wastewater pool, but for some reason it was filled with stumps and blood. There was no light in this building, and there was only one door to leave the large room.
"Let's explore forward little by little. I hope the staff here can be more peaceful." Carlin felt that he was shining a bit conspicuously, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Well..." Alexander turned on the clairvoyance to see if there was anything in the blood pool, and then found a key sunk at the bottom. "There is a key under here. It is ten feet deep. Someone can use the hand of a mage. I will command it."
Fish it out."
Although Carlin and Sophia's mage hands consume less energy, Esther directly concentrated her psychic energy to control objects from the air and take out the key.
"Left, left, and a little to the right. Then keep going down, grab it, okay." Under Alexander's command, he successfully took it out.
However, after bypassing several lathes and empty barrels, only a few people saw the door handle after returning to the door. There were many types of damage to the door handle - including melting, physical punctures and space separation, so there was no need to use this blood-stained key.
Can open the door.
"Take it first, in case you can open it somewhere else." Alexander said, and Esther felt this way.
Outside the door is a workshop for cutting metal sheets. Walking forward, a few people saw that there are now two doors leading to two different rooms on the left and right. And right in front is a deep circular pit with a metal outer wall. They don't know how to dig it.
What is it used for? There is also a broken link ladder, so you can't get to the room directly in front. I'm afraid you can't see how it is broken without walking to the downward-sloping link ladder. This angle is really not good.
.
"It's just a workshop for cutting metal sheets. Maybe we can look at a few turning tools? The material should be pretty good. It's not surprising that it's broken after so long." Esther said and checked, but they were all rusty.
unusable.
"It feels like someone has been here, and I don't know what they had a fight with." Carlin pointed out that there seemed to be a slight shoe-shaped stain on the ground. This was the tiny trace left by the unclean creature that actually killed Erte.
trace.
"Whatever, it's definitely not safe here anyway. Be careful, there may be guards or traps. Now go to the left and take a look." Alexander walked lightly towards the iron gate.
The door on the left is slightly open, and behind the door is a long corridor with no end in sight. There is also a door on the right fifty feet ahead. "Well...do any of you have any thieves' tools? I think this is the best place.
It's better not to use knocking rashly." Alexander asked after checking the door on the right, and tried the lock with the key, but obviously it couldn't be inserted.
"I'm good at all kinds of tools, including thieves' lock-picking suites, but I usually just use weapons to open the door. After all, I learned it a long time ago." Esther looked at the lock carefully and tried to open it.
"I'll lend you these gloves." Alexander gave him his protective gloves.
After inspection, Esther thought it was an old-fashioned lock that was easy to pry open. But it still couldn't be opened. There was something inside that was against the door. "If Alexander can see through it, what's going on behind it?"
"Let me try." She saw a dozen complete corpses crowded in the corridor behind the door. The corpses were dressed in common brown linen robes and trousers, common workers' attire, and most of their faces were facing the direction of the door. The last one was
Looking in the opposite direction, as if he was avoiding something, the first person still had a broken key in his hand.
Although the face of the corpse is intact, it has been severely decomposed, and the cause of death cannot be seen as trauma. "There is a corridor inside, blocked by many corpses. The last sentence of the corpse is looking at the other end of the corridor... I don't know if there is something invisible. It's very
It’s strange, it doesn’t look like he was killed by conventional means, maybe poison gas or something.”
"It feels like something troublesome again," Carlin said.
"It sounds like there's a monster over there that's responsible for their deaths." Ester's information from the scene described is unlikely to be a gas attack.
"The first person held a key. It can be speculated that these people were killed by something when they ran here to open the door." Alexander followed Esther's train of thought, but this cannot explain the cause of death. "
There shouldn’t be any rush in this direction, let’s go forward first.”
The right door in the left corridor has not been investigated yet. It seems that it is locked from the inside and cannot be opened. There is no latch on the outside of the door. Alexander reopened the perspective. Inside is a small corridor and a completely decomposed corpse.
The furnishing is the dressing room, because there are many hangers and cabinets, and there are many healing potions inside... The healing potions here are similar to those that Alexander found before. "Weird, the healing potions here also look like soda bottles."
"Produced in one place," Karin replied casually.
"Probably, then let's try to break the door violently." Alexander gave way.
"It doesn't sound like it's useless, although there's probably something left on the body." After Esther said, Sophia first released her spirit consciousness just in case. Then without opening her fist, she angrily pulled out the Hong Ming knife and cut it open.
This door.
"Take the mage's hand and touch it to see if there is anything on him." Alexander suggested.
Then Esther held his breath and checked the corpse with his psychic prosthesis, but there were no other clues about the completely rotted corpse. In the end, ten bottles of healing potion were recorded. "It seems that there is nothing useful. Continue to go deeper into this corridor? Although it feels like
It's more like a warehouse. But at least there should be something useful in the warehouse."
"There's nothing else to go to now, let's go and have a look." Sophia used her spirit consciousness to explore the way. The corridor is 200 feet in total, and the door at the end is open. Behind the door is a storage room with many slats piled up in the corner.
But fifteen feet directly in front, that is, in the center of the room, there are several rotting corpses. The corpses are also wearing common brown linen robes and trousers, common workers' attire, with their faces facing downwards.
There was only a small pool of dried black blood on the floor under several corpses stacked top to bottom. There was nothing on the storage shelves on both sides. It could be said that they were empty.
"How could the dead be stacked up so neatly? It's so strange. I don't know if there are any supplies in those boxes, but at least be careful here." Esther thought that someone might have piled the corpses together, so he paid attention to his surroundings.
And the ceiling, after all, this death situation is so strange.
"It's really hard to understand," Alexander agreed.
"It's like the attacker's bad taste." Carlin's view was somewhat similar to what Esther didn't say.
"It feels a bit like some kind of ritual. Let me use the hands of the mage to move these corpses away and take a look." Sophia said and did it.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't need me to touch it with my hands." Alexander didn't want to touch it at all.
And Sophia found nothing. "Well, why don't you open those crates and take a look."
Alexander took a look through the lens. "They are all metal parts."
"The warehouse only has this much stuff? Of course, maybe more stuff has been taken off the shelves," Esther said.
"Then the other side should be where the processing is?" Carlin guessed.
"Then the furnace is either on the front or underground. The underground is more likely," Esther said.
"Well, let's go and take a look at the front first." Alexander made a decision and asked, "Does it really mean that none of you know how to repair? I think that ladder can be repaired by just throwing in the repair..."
"My contractor did not provide me with this content." Regarding magic, Kalin only knows the same magic blast and mage hand as Amon but is far inferior to him.
"The condition of the repair technique is that as long as the damage or breakage does not exceed one foot in any direction, how can a large ladder not exceed one foot." Although Sophia does not know how to do it, she understands the effect very well.
"The front has to fly." Esther can fly, so it doesn't matter at all.
"Levitation is enough for us to get through." Alexander shook his head. "Speaking of which, all of us know levitation." She turned the emblem to levitation mode.
