The Remaining City's Ideal across the Sky Chapter 53 The One Hundred and Ninety-Turn Valve
Sophia threw a flying spell at Alexander. "The decision is yours."
Alexander, who had been given the flying spell, transported the others to the opposite side. Soon after he continued forward, he saw a closed door with a projection screen on the wall next to it. Sophia appeared again. "The content displayed on it is also not turned on. It must be knocked down like just now.
It takes an element to open."
"It seems like we have to hit a gatekeeper, so that's definitely not the direction."
"It's very possible that it's the door just now." Alexander said. "But do any of you plan to try to see if this thing can be operated?"
"Which one? The one who killed those guys? Didn't Sophia try to do it?" Esther didn't understand what it meant.
"But, if you touch it, you have to fight again. The door here doesn't even have a keyhole, and there are no instructions. How on earth did the designer get in?" Carlin didn't understand why it was designed like this.
"Um...I said it's the one in front of you." Alexander pointed.
"Look, I'm standing in front of the projection screen, just waiting for you to tell me whether to turn it on or not. Based on the previous situation, new elements will be summoned as long as I touch it." Sophia said.
"You try it first and then talk." Alexander interrupted her.
"Okay, I guess they have their own permissions and can pass through at will. People like us don't have that." But Sophia tapped her finger on the display screen like before, but there was no response after touching it several times.
"Well... I didn't see any hidden compartments on the wall. If that doesn't work, let's go back there first." Alexander walked back.
"There must be a way to identify permissions. Unfortunately, we haven't seen the managers here. Let's go back first." Alexander originally wanted to move people back, but she first looked from the top of the pit to see what was going on below.
Seeing this, Sophia directed her spirit consciousness to fly down to check, but she couldn't see very deep. "Well, I can't see anything even if I go down to three hundred feet."
"As a forging place, it's hard to tell what's down here... Which way to go first?" Alexander asked. After all, this hole is in a cylindrical hollow structure. It goes straight down and there are no other holes in the middle.
The mouth doesn't look like a normal passage.
"Maybe we should read the rest of this floor first? For example, the place where a large number of workers died." Esther said.
"I agree, I think the corpse is safer than this pit." Carlin supported him. "I hope it won't destroy the only valuable things left. After all, I have to see it."
"I think so too. It's just that breaking into the door is a bit..." Alexander has encountered situations like this before, and they often didn't go well.
"Does anyone have a better idea?" Alexander looked at Sophia.
"How about some divination or otherworldly detection?" the latter said in hindsight. "But now there is a 1/4 failure rate in divination. I haven't used it since I learned the otherworldly detection."
"Anyway, the door to the lounge has been broken before." As Esther said, he walked over and broke open the door. He was a little moody due to the recent conflicts, so he vented his anger directly to the person who was being treated.
Unlock the door yourself with a fist.
"Does this have anything to do with opening the door? Alas..." Alexander followed behind and sighed.
"Yes, I might be lucky enough to be able to connect and learn about the existence of Alto's floating city," Sophia said.
The corridor behind the broken door connected to other areas of the factory. The four of them found teleportation circles in other areas to return to, but these areas were worthless if they could not resume production of those parts.
"Okay, there is no choice. It's time to go back and take a look at the pit." Alexander would have done it earlier if he had known it.
"Tch, it's useless. How did these people die? That monster can travel freely without passing through the door?" Esther frowned.
"Maybe it wasn't a monster that killed him, maybe it was a poison gas leak." Alexander thought this was a possibility.
"Okay, let's apply the Feather Falling Technique to everyone later, so that we won't be able to dance for a minute without being able to get to the end." Sophia made a joke.
"The thing that struck me seems to be physical. Maybe it is still in this area." Carlin asked others to be cautious.
"It's not surprising that we didn't reach the bottom. Just be prepared to continue the Feather Falling Technique. When everyone falls, be prepared to grab the wall." Alexander walked to the edge of the pit.
Sophia nodded. "Okay."
"If it's just a buffer, it shouldn't be a problem to use levitation. After all, the emblem can provide this power." Esther proposed a method that does not require consuming magic power.
"Okay, I'm ready." Carlin said. "Speaking of it, this pit is really smooth, as if it was dug manually. But there are no traces inside. I don't know what it is for?"
"Perhaps it was thrown out by a powerful person who summoned a beam of light. At that time, I will let the spirit consciousness conduct detection at the maximum distance below us. Once I find a problem, I will give you a warning." Sophia's spirit consciousness can emit a hazy light.
, you can check it here. "There is a time limit for using the power of the emblem, so use it in more important places as much as possible."
"Jump." Alexander went down first.
"It's inexplicably reasonable. I hope the target of the beam has been killed..." Karin also jumped down.
It had been falling for about a quarter of an hour. After seeing the bottom in time, several people landed safely. There were two objects at the bottom. One was the corpse of a humanoid creature with giant claws, and the body bones had been smashed. The second was a round object.
A shaped door with a red twist plate on it.
"It's really so deep. How to get up there seems to be a big problem." Esther slightly loosened his grip on the handle of the sickle.
"Then, we can only fly up." Alexander breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure of falling was not small.
"It seems like this trap was really an accident." Carlin gave his thoughts.
"How is it possible? This is obviously a fall to death. It is obviously a big trap that has been prepared for a long time." Esther doesn't think so, but the trap doesn't have to be so deep...
Alexander opened a fluoroscopic inspection. "This is a type that is tightened by twisting. It requires many turns to open the linked door. The airtightness is very good."
"Looks like a valve?" Esther thought about where such a large valve might be used in the mining area.
"The building deep in the bottom of the smelting area should be a power source or a large furnace?" Carlin saw no other man-made traces at the bottom of the pit.
"Can you see behind the valve?" Esther asked.
Alexander shook his head. "It seems we have no choice. Since the door seems to be openable by manpower, there should be no possibility of lava suddenly emerging after opening the door, but we'd better be ready to run."
"Okay, we have to move on. Let me try." Carlin, who didn't find anything on the body, walked to the door and tried to turn the button on the door.
It took quite a lot of force for Ka to turn the red disc. After turning it thirty times, Kalin had no strength left. "Huh, this disc is too strong. How do I open it normally?"
"Which one of you will continue? I'll give him a divine guidance spell." Sophia asked, but she was actually quite strong.
"Forget it, we've already started, so don't stop." Esther continued.
"Looking at the style here, it may use spells, tool assistance, or mechanical arms." Alexander gave his own opinion.
"I think it's just like this. It takes a long time to open manually, but I heard that there are places that use magic machinery to work." Esther said while working.
"There are no vehicles up and down in this place. The ancient researchers are indeed rich and skilled." Kalin stayed aside for a while, ready to replace it at any time.
When Esther turned one hundred and sixty times, his muscles were sore and he had no strength, and the door just opened. "It's really sour." He waved his hands and looked at the downward passage, where only one person could lie down on the red metal ladder.
, and the passage is not deep, only fifty feet.
"One hundred and ninety turns, it's really troublesome to open this thing manually." Sophia first let the spirit body go down to see the situation.
"You can only move lying down? It's really a troublesome situation. Let me go and see what's going on inside first." As soon as Esther finished speaking, Sophia said no.
"Is this just a transit station? What's the purpose of this design?" Carlin was even more confused.
"Maybe it's an extra layer of protection." Sophia said casually, and then informed others of the following situation.
So Alexander climbed down, stepped on the floor, and saw that the passage was connected to a huge room or space. It was because of the room, at least the passage was surrounded by metal walls. He couldn't see his head when he went up, and he couldn't move forward.
.
"It seems we can only go in. Come down together." Alexander shouted upwards, and the echo was very noisy.
"Yeah." Sophia also went down.
"At least it didn't look like an enemy for the first time? This forward posture is really uncomfortable and unrestrained." Esther also started to move forward.
"It doesn't matter, I hope there are good things down there." Karin was the last one to crawl down and then back in.
In short, the four people came to this space, which was about three hundred feet long and wide, and at least more than three hundred and sixty feet high. There was a rectangular giant machine in the middle of the room that went straight to the top or even above. This machine was ninety feet long and wide, and there was also a machine on the front.
Projection screen.
"Oh my God, it's hard to even get maintenance parts through the door just now, right?" Alexander sighed.
"Maybe there is another passage. This one we came to may be the back door?" Carlin said.
There was also a bottle of light yellow potion placed under the blank projection screen - it was the same soda bottle style as the previous healing potion. He went over to pick up the bottle and see what was written on it. He could tell through the effectiveness of the contract, so there was no need.
It all depends on Sophia. [Why is this thing happening again?]
"I urgently need an instruction manual for this floating city." Sophia muttered. This was obviously impossible.
