Cross the dead line and enter the corner of this passage.
It is a pure white door, so white that it seems unreal. Even the paint on the door handle above looks like it has just been painted, and it is too new to be true.
"This is the director's office."
Haoru said.
Colin was not surprised at all. After all, the director of the Countermeasures Bureau was the only person who could contact the high command. He was immediately looking forward to what he would see next. A guy with that strength and qualifications to formulate countermeasures for the welfare of the world.
Who exactly is it?
Is it the same thing as what Opal said, the same thing behind the scenes of SCT? The reason why Hazy is so resistant to letting himself see it.
But what will happen if we do meet?
Do you have a way to communicate with that kind of thing? The symbolic world, or even some kind of projection of the deep world, or something deeper, something that is one and the same with the thing behind the scenes.
Is there another vicious fight?
And whether he will die.
Colin was not sure, and with a more tense mood than before when he was fighting with Obi, the dark color became more and more serious.
With the sound of the lock bolt snapping, Hagi opened the door to the office of the Director of the Countermeasures Bureau.
Colin also followed in.
To Colin's expectation, the space here is not large. It is a place similar to a mail room. The furnishings are also quite simple. There is only a row of file bag display racks, and then there is only a table and chairs, and an office computer without Internet access.
.
Sitting on the chair was a middle-aged man wearing a white double-breasted coat and looking extremely dignified.
Just as Colin expected.
Subject to some strict regulations on the Countermeasures Bureau's philosophy, the Director of the Countermeasures Bureau is just an ordinary person.
"You're here again."
"It's really strange. Is the world going to be completely destroyed?"
"He even brought other people with him."
As the middle-aged man said this, he adjusted the angle of the back of the writing chair and straightened his back to appear more formal.
"Yes."
"Mr. Director."
"Now we have to go through here and reach the elevator leading to the high command."
"Please approve it."
Although Long used honorifics, his tone did not seem to have any meaning of respect, which made Colin feel a little surprised.
What Colin never expected was that the director of the Countermeasures Bureau just nodded, held up his hand to let the two of them help themselves, and then readjusted the back of the chair to a comfortable angle.
To Colin's surprise, Long passed through the office and opened the door to the elevator, and Colin had to follow him up.
We arrived at a dark passage again, without any lighting at all. It was not until Hao opened the switch that the ancient yellow light bulbs hanging from the base of the exposed pipe above his head lit up one by one.
And at the end of the passage.
What appears in the field of vision is an extremely heavy iron gate, which is completely different from other places under the Cheyenne Mountains. The rough and heavy shape, as well as the exaggerated depth and thickness, are full of a sense of history. The rust on it and the accumulation of time have made it full of history.
The pimples show the depth of age.
After the electric switch was turned on, the iron gate slowly opened and closed with an extremely harsh and heavy squeaking sound, revealing an elevator that didn't even have a safety guardrail inside. It was just a platform for people to descend, less than ten square meters.
The only lighting was a few red light bulbs, emitting an extremely frightening and even creepy light.
Hao took the lead and stood on the lifting platform and asked: "What are you waiting for?"
Colin was silent for a while and also stood on the platform.
Immediately after Hao pulled the lever of the platform, the rusty iron gate began to close, and the elevator began to slowly descend. The speed was not fast, even slower than a standard elevator. It was estimated that it could dive a hundred times in one minute.
About the same meter.
"This will take a lot of time."
"I hope you have some patience."
"About twenty minutes."
He said calmly.
Different from his calmness, the lift shaft is much larger than the platform, and there are no traces of manual excavation. It is not horizontal or vertical, and is extremely rough. Under the illumination of the red light bulb, it seems to be slowly leading to the platform.
hell.
Moreover, the lifting platform also made extremely unsettling sounds. There was a constant squeaking sound from the sling, and a clanking sound from an unknown source every few seconds, accompanied by the slight trembling of the platform.
It seems that its life span is coming to an end. If there is any big bump, the sling will break and it will fall into the abyss.
But both of them are no longer ordinary people and will not be surprised by these small formations.
During the dive.
"So the director of the Countermeasures Bureau."
"Just a messenger."
Colin had to think this way. It was completely different from what he had guessed before. He should be a powerful character, but it seemed that he was not only restricted, but also restricted in his freedom.
"You can't say that."
"A lot of the time."
"No."
"This is true at any time, what people need is not a strong person to lead them."
"They just want a symbol."
"The director of the Countermeasures Bureau is human."
"That's enough."
Hazy said calmly.
Colin finally understood that Wu is the actual controller of the entire countermeasures bureau. In the end, all ideas will only be completely replaced by forms under practical implementation. What is finally fed back is a phenomenon caused by a phenomenon. That is
true essence.
This elevator seems to lead to the end of the world.
The passage of time cannot be felt in this bottomless abyss.
The atmosphere on the platform was extremely solemn, and there was no words for a long time.
"Didn't you collect many eyewitnesses of the South Pacific incident?"
"And got some real pages?"
"Did you find anything?"
Colin asked.
"The real page spontaneously combusted some time ago."
"That is something that human beings cannot fathom."
"As for those who experienced it."
"The reason why they were all handed over to me is because I can truly kill them."
Hao replied, now that things have happened, there is nothing left to hold back.
"So you're not trying to take advantage of them."
"It's just about erasing them."
"Why?"
Colin wanted to know why he was so obsessed with hunting down Opal and Pim, and even himself.
"You'll find out soon enough."
"Isn't it?"
Immediately afterwards.
The whole journey was speechless.
It wasn't until about half an hour later that with a loud clang, the lift platform came to a halt with some jolts, and finally reached its final destination.
The extremely white passage was so white that it seemed abnormally white, as if it was illuminated by strong light, but no light source could be found. At the end was the last passage.
leading to the truth.
The red door and the elegant paint surface are as scarlet as blood.
He stood still and refused to step out of the lifting platform, as if he was afraid of something.
"Are you scared?"
Colin found it a bit funny. After all, just now Hao was as fierce as the most powerful ferocious beast since the beginning, but now he was acting like a coward with some stage fright.
"Yes."
"Colin."
"I'm scared."
He finally came out, walked through the white passage, and then opened it.
The door to the final truth of the Countermeasures Bureau.
