[Yang Ming: Could it be that the emperor is at the bottom of this staircase? 】
[Theia: Covered in black stone, I basically can’t detect any effective information, but the probability of it being her is very high.]
It is basically certain that it is nine out of ten. It seems that the other party really knew or speculated that Yang Ming would come to find the superconducting fuse prosthetic body, and deliberately placed it here to trigger the mechanism.
In other words, in fact, the emperor herself had no interest in hiding at all. She just stayed where she was, waiting for Yang Ming to come and meet him in person.
How many plans had she seen through in advance? Or could it be said that her every move had been predicted by her?
If what has been done so far has been deliberately arranged, then as an opponent, the emperor's strength is really amazing.
No matter what, the arrow had to be fired. The original purpose was to see her. Now there was no reason to back down. Yang Ming had no choice but to take Carters down the stairs.
The staircase itself is purely designed in one direction, without any winding corners. Logically speaking, it would not be built like this inside the building because the space is easily insufficient.
However, if the entire building only serves this section of stairs, it can be done this way, and obviously the height of the stairs is not just as high as the building itself. Yang Ming and Carters quickly entered the area below the horizontal ground.
When you move to a position where the upper light is not enough to support the lighting, a yellow light bulb on the walls on both sides will automatically light up, accompanied by a loud sound, which is quite intense in terms of visual and auditory stimulation.
This was not a big deal to Yang Ming when he came. Along the way, Theia was asked to scan the surroundings as much as possible to prevent traps and the like.
Although there was no danger until the end of the stairs, the signal received from Theia became increasingly blurry.
[Theia: The content of black stone here... is too high... you have to... be careful.]
Only intermittent sounds could be heard, and then Theia's ability to remotely control the nanomachines on Yang Ming's body was basically zero.
However, the electronic communication system was blocked, which would not affect the mental power, so Yang Ming activated the [Spiritual Link].
[Yang Ming: Can you hear it now? 】
[Theia: Huh, I heard it now, but it is difficult for me to provide you with data analysis services now. 】
[Yang Ming: That’s okay, as long as you are still there. 】
In this channel, Yang, Lian, Carters, Helena and Theia can communicate with each other.
Yang Ming looked at the heavy door. As long as he pushed it open, he should be able to see the emperor himself inside.
Let’s not touch her for now. It’s better to ask her for some information at this time.
[Yang Ming: Speaking of which, Yang, what kind of person is the emperor? 】
"Um……"
Yang thought briefly for a while and said,
"How should I put it, idealist? She is a very mysterious person. We don't know her specific ideas. We only know that she has a very clear purpose and everything she does is within a large framework."
It sounds like a person who likes to hide himself and only cares about himself to fulfill the justice in his heart.
As long as such people can successfully express what they are burdened with, they can win over them by trying to help them.
However, the ideal is wonderful, but the reality may not be much better, and excessive obsession may make it difficult for her to communicate effectively.
[Yang Ming: Well, the last thing I want to ask is... what is her name? 】
As for his real name, he had never dared to ask before. After all, he might be discovered by the other party in advance. But now that he had arrived at the door, Yang Ming was mentally prepared. It was time to try to find out.
"Aren't you afraid that the person inside the door is not the emperor? Anyway, I was originally looking for her, but now there is nothing to prepare for. It's no big deal to trigger the calling of the true name."
Yang brewed his emotions and said,
"Her name is Zhou Yusu, and she is an emperor under the old human social system."
[Yang Ming: Zhou Yusu?]
In the state of mental dialogue, Yang Ming couldn't help but repeat the name. There was nothing special about it, and he could roughly understand the other person's past living environment.
Unexpectedly, just thinking about it, the door in front of me actually opened.
Although I didn't touch it directly with my hands, I don't know if it is easy to push it open, but it seems to be a necessary condition to open the door with the emperor's real name.
Has she judged this?
In this case, Yang Ming no longer cowered cautiously and strode forward.
The interior space is very spacious. There is a large piece of material that looks like a curtain, but is actually a screen transformed from black stone material. It spans the center of the room, blocking all the scenes behind it and making it impossible to see.
In this case, it should be necessary to say hello first, so Yang Ming walked a certain distance inside, stopped and said:
"Hello, you must be the Emperor Zhou Yusu, right? I am a member of the Pioneer team. I came to this planet to learn some things. Do you want to meet me?"
"Pioneer?"
A gentle and elegant female voice came from the opposite side, which was extremely penetrating and majestic. She first repeated these words in confusion, and then said,
"Are you her subordinate? I can't see it."
"Presumably the person you are referring to is the Chief of Pioneers, right?"
According to previous conversations with Demon Lord Ammonius, it was known that all the apostles were once under the emperor's command. However, Yang Ming did not know the specific situation, so he had to continue to reply,
"She is indeed my nominal leader, but the main help here does not come from her, but - Eye of the Moon Theia."
At this time, it is best not to reveal the leader of the Pioneer. Although this trip must have been approved by her, negotiating with her is not necessary to gain a relationship with her.
"Theia..."
The other party just repeated the name gently, and then said,
"Then who are you?"
"My name is Yang Ming."
"oh?"
This actually made her react, showing interest, and asked,
"Are you the famous Yang Ming?"
After that, the screen that originally blocked the front parted to both sides, revealing the scene inside.
It was a long flight of steps, with a throne at the top. The whole thing was red and yellow, and was surrounded by mainly white jade.
On the throne, there is a person sitting sideways.
She leaned against the back of the chair as if half lying down, supported the handle with her elbow, and rested her cheek on the back of her hand, looking down at Yang Ming. Her pupils were light brown, she wore black-rimmed glasses, and her hair was black and long to her waist.
The clothing she wears is similar to some kind of tight-fitting armor seen in this world. It takes up little space but has strong protective properties.
The overall armor looks mainly white, with red and yellow as supplements. It is gorgeous and practical, and matches the style of the room.
