On the display screen, the number of floors is continuously decreasing, gradually falling to one, continuing downward, and entering the negative floor.
A serious atmosphere permeated the surroundings, as if the air was being continuously sucked out, causing everyone to not dare to breathe loudly easily.
The number eventually stopped at minus four.
The elevator doors slowly opened to both sides, and everyone walked forward. The voice-controlled lights above their heads lit up one after another as the footsteps approached.
Even though she was walking at the back of the crowd, Su Ji could clearly feel the slightest chill coming from the front.
This feeling is more like an environment like an ice cave or a low temperature greenhouse than a source energy cellar.
"Relax, I have to say, this is the most comfortable energy cellar I have ever stayed in."
Hua Jianxiao saw that Su Ji looked unhappy, so she patted him on the shoulder and said.
"At most, the temperature here has a bit of an underworld effect."
"I visited a source energy cellar before because the spiritual energy was so strong that even the air was scorching hot."
"When you stay there, you must wear professional protective clothing and carry oxygen bottles, otherwise every breath of air will be as sour as if someone poured sulfuric acid into the trachea."
"Where the hell did it come from? I'm afraid there's a [banana fan] stored in it..." Su Ji couldn't help but complain.
The long and narrow walkway was nearly 20 to 30 meters long, and soon, everyone stood in front of a huge gate.
This door is more than three meters high, and the two facades are tightly meshed together in the middle, showing a jagged gap.
The group of people walked to the identity verification device in front of the door and stopped.
"That's it, Captain Tang."
The young team member said in a low voice, while looking at Tang Ran with a guilty conscience, "I'm not lying to you, access control requires permission..."
"The four authorized persons must be present at the same time..."
"I know." Tang Ran interrupted the other party in a calm tone.
First in command, second in command, supervisor and supervisor.
After all, Tang Ran had been working in the Xinghai Division before, so there was no need for him to teach him about things like this.
"But now no one is here." The young team member couldn't stand it any longer. "It's quite cold here, Captain Tang. How about we retreat outside first and then make a decision?"
"If you want to leave, just get out of here." Tang Ran didn't even look at him.
Anyway, this person is of no use staying here. He is just an eyesore.
When the other party heard this, he was so frightened that he lost his sleep.
Originally, I wanted to leave quickly, but now I just stayed in place, not daring to move.
"Kekekeke, what should we do, captain?"
"It seems like this door can't be opened at all?"
Lu Xiaoguai used the sharp dagger in his hand to slide hard on the hard and heavy door. A spark shot out from the tip of the knife, but no trace was left behind.
It is indeed a place where all top secrets are stored. One can only imagine how strong the material of this door is.
However, the sharp friction sound seemed to make the little Gothic loli even more excited, and her movements became louder and louder, as if she was addicted to something.
Tang Ran raised his forearm expressionlessly and calmly slapped Lu Xiaoguai's dishonest hand away, just like an old mother disciplining a disobedient child.
Then he took out a device from his pocket that looked like a satellite phone, but was obviously more sophisticated in structure.
I pressed a few buttons and made a call.
"Captain, if I guessed correctly, you probably called that crazy old wild guy..." Hanami said with a smile.
Tang Ran let out a long sigh, and at the same time held his forehead weakly and said: "There is no other way, I can only rely on him at this time."
Soon, the communication was connected.
The satellite device turned on the green light, and the blue light lit up in the dimly lit underground level, illuminating the surrounding environment at once.
In the gradually generated three-dimensional projection, the figure of a boy with a small stature and a round face appeared in it.
He was wearing a co-branded baseball cap of the same style as Alale, a one-piece loose suspender jeans, and a pair of trendy children's dad shoes at his feet.
The fleshy face has a set of facial features that look like they haven't fully grown yet, big black eyes, a small and straight nose, and skin so tender that it seems like you can pinch the water out...
This little boy is probably only about six or seven years old. No matter how you look at it, he is an absolutely pure, natural, green, pollution-free, cute little young lady.
Even the sound he makes when he opens his mouth is a soft and soft little milky sound that is harmless to humans and animals.
But when he spoke, his tone was as mature as that of a young adult, yet with a hint of greasiness.
"Oh, it's embarrassing!"
"Be a good boy and let me see who it is!"
The little boy widened his beautiful eyes and showed a pure smile like a little angel, "Isn't this my beautiful, charming, sexy, hot and super sweet little Tangtang!"
"What kind of wind brings you to me?"
"Oh! It turns out to be the fragrance on your pillow..."
"Stop being so verbose, you disrespectful pervert!" Tang Ran was a little annoyed and cursed, "I have something to do with you!"
"What do you mean? So if you have nothing to do, you will never have anything to do with me, right? How can your 36.6°C cherry mouth say such cold words?"
The little boy sniffed and showed pitiful tearful eyes, "I'm just a tool in your eyes? So love will disappear, right?"
"Who is this kid..."
Su Ji looked confused and couldn't help but ask Hua Jianxiao in a low voice.
"I guess you won't believe it if I tell you, but this guy is no ordinary little kid."
Hua Jianxiao shrugged and said, "He is the former director-general of the Xinghai Division and the current inspector-general of the Sky Eye Bureau, Qin Yan."
"Although I can't challenge the big shots in the Military Aircraft Department face to face, in the entire Dongxia Branch, I am still a role with a high status and authority."
"Huh?" Su Ji was dumbfounded, "A seven-and-a-half-year-old child?"
"Yes, this guy is an old man with a childish face, but his real age is over a hundred years old."
Hua Jianxiao said helplessly, "If he wants to, he can go to the zoo and see lions, tigers, etc. for half a ticket."
"When you first get to know him, you will think he is quite cute, he looks cute and speaks nicely, but as you get along with him for a long time, you will find that this guy is just a greasy uncle who likes to drink and is lecherous.
——No, sir."
The world's great wonders……
Su Ji was too lazy to ask Hua Jianxiao why such a thing happened.
Since becoming a player, he has witnessed too many supernatural phenomena.
Since there are [Undead] in this world, then the existence of [Undead] is quite unusual, right?
Even if it has nothing to do with race, it may be due to the special nature of talent.
all in all.
After experiencing the battlefield game, Su Ji clearly understood the true face of the world, and her acceptance of all kinds of people and things she had never seen before has been greatly improved.
"Director, your greasy oil is almost seeping out from the depths of your soul."
"Besides, I don't have time to listen to these irrelevant and earthy love words now."
Tang Ran said angrily to this high-quality human male, "I need permission now. There is something wrong with the Xinning Branch. I need to verify some things."
"Stop calling me Director. I'm retired. That crazy woman will definitely get jealous again when she hears you call me that."
Qin Yan took off Arale's co-branded baseball cap, and a bunch of stupid hair on his head jumped up stubbornly, "So what is so important? It's worth your satellite phone call to my head in the middle of the night.
?”
Su Ji was a little uncomfortable with this guy calling himself "kid" for a while. After all, when he thought that this old guy was over a hundred years old and still pretending to be young, he felt that this harmless baby face was completely useless.
Method substitution.
"I have to go in and take a look at the source energy cellar of Xinning Branch." Tang Ran said, "It's too late. I won't be able to explain it to you for a while. I will prepare a detailed investigation report and give it to you later."
"Xiao Tangtang, I haven't seen you for so many years, and your style of doing things is still as vigorous and resolute as when you first came here..."
The little kid Qin Yan looked like a brat. He shook his head and sighed as if he was troubled, "Have you forgotten everything I taught you before?"
"You can't eat hot tofu if you are anxious. In everything, be calm first. Impulsiveness is the devil!"
"You are a girl, don't be irritable, be graceful and graceful!"
"Violence is only a short-term catharsis, but elegance is the eternal art..."
While speaking slowly, he even picked up a goblet of red wine, took a sip of the wine, and then made a classic Leo-style toast to Tang Ran in front of the camera.
"I suspect that the [Carnival Holy Grail] has been stolen." Tang Ranyan said concisely.
puff!
The silly little boy squirted out a mouthful of old wine, groped around on the table in a panic, grabbed a handkerchief and wiped the stains on his suspender jeans vigorously.
"Why didn't you say something like this earlier?"
Qin Yan's watery eyes widened, "How many levels of authority are needed? There shouldn't be any problems below level five. If you go higher, you have to apply to the Military Aircraft Department."
"If not necessary, my suggestion is not to alarm the people above. Those old dogs are not easy to talk to."
"Level 3 authority is enough. It's enough in Xinning Branch." Tang Ran said, "Hurry up, I don't have time to nag you."
"Xiao Tangtang, we are good friends, you will not cheat me, right?"
Qin Yan showed a pitiful and cute look again, "If anything happens after the authority is delegated, I will be the one who takes the blame."
"I, Qin Yan, just want to live a peaceful life. Promise me that you won't cause any trouble for me until I retire smoothly, okay?"
Although his tone seemed full of reluctance, Tang Ran received the latest notice from the organization before he finished speaking.
A pleasant suggestion sound appeared, indicating that the new authorizer was Qin Yan, and the authorization time was two seconds ago.
Immediately afterwards, her current authority level has been increased, and it takes effect immediately.
"Good night, Director."
Tang Ran said something perfunctory, and then decisively cut off the communication.
She didn't waste any time and walked to the identity verification machine.
"Ding!"
"Identity verification begins..."
Soon, Tang Ran passed the identity verification including a series of biometric passwords such as ID, face, iris, voiceprint, and fingerprint.
After all the above processes are successfully completed, the final permission check comes.
"Ding!"
"Permission granted!"
…
Accompanied by emotionless electronic sounds, a huge roar sounded in the basement.
The heavy doors opened to both sides, revealing the huge and wide underground space hidden behind them.
Even colder air surged out from inside, and the temperature of the environment suddenly dropped at this moment, which made Su Ji couldn't help but shiver.
Tang Ran suddenly struck the young team member on the neck with his backhand knife.
After this guy fell to the ground with an expression of surprise on his face and his eyes darkened, he strode into the source energy cellar.
When Su Ji came to such a place for the first time, she felt as if she had opened the door to a new world.
The so-called source energy cellar actually has a very similar sense of déjà vu to the museum in this world.
Various extraordinary props are stored and displayed in different storage rooms according to their type and degree of danger.
Su Ji has basically never seen most of the props that appear here, but every weird thing can arouse his interest.
Like a five-year-old kid who accidentally entered a Lego store.
"Hey, hey, hey, put away your expression as if you've never seen it before, your saliva is almost dripping to the ground."
"How about you show off your toughness and reputation as a member of the Xinghai Division!"
Seeing Su Ji looking fascinated and lost in thought, Hua Jianxiao couldn't help but bumped him with her shoulder, "It's just a pile of scrap metal."
"There isn't even a single piece of equipment above blue in this damn place, and the purple equipment is also the most rubbish and low-grade."
"No wonder they refused to provide props at that time, because they were worried that their own inventory would not be available at all, and Xiao Yong's face would be completely embarrassed."
Su Ji was dissatisfied: "I understand the truth, but now that I see the Little Overlord game console, I still can't help but want to touch it."
Hua Jianxiao was stunned: "That's right, I would be excited too."
The Yuaneng Cellar in Xinning Branch is very large.
The group of people walked around for almost ten minutes before finally finding the door of the storage room with a special sign.
The props stored in this place are all extremely important and are called [Holy Relics] level beings.
Just like precious collections in a museum, the way to measure the level of a source energy cellar is the amount of [Sacred Remains] in it.
In every official source energy cellar, all information about the [Sacred Remains] is made public on the organization's intranet for inquiry by official personnel with certain authority.
As early as when he took over the mission of [Doomsday Paratroopers] and shortly after arriving at the Xinning Branch, Tang Ran had a general understanding of the situation in the Xinning Branch.
Among them, it includes the number and information of [Holy Remains] in Yuaneng Cellar in Xinning City.
Xinning, a low-end second-tier small city, is an area with a low density of players. In addition, the Xinning branch has not done much, so the supplies in the Xinning source energy cellar are indeed a bit pitiful.
In the entire huge city, there is only one [Holy Relic] hidden, and that is the [Holy Grail of Carnival].
And this [Holy Relic] is inextricably linked to the sudden appearance of the [Soul Crystal] and the humanoid players.
That's why Tang Ran's reaction was so strong that he even chose to rush here overnight to find out.
Soon, the door to the storage room was pushed open.
On the stone platform in the center of the storage room, the exquisite and beautiful dark silver Holy Grail was placed quietly on the stone platform.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the things are still there.
This thing is not an ordinary toy. If it is lost, it will really cause trouble.
While everyone was still rejoicing, Tang Ran's expression became more complicated.
She has always been very confident in her sixth sense.
When she saw this scene in front of her, the tension and uneasiness in her heart not only did not disappear, but actually became worse.
At this moment, Su Ji's voice came from the quiet storage room.
