Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 726 Elevator
After getting off the car, a few people entered the metropolitan subway hub as if nothing had happened. The door is open, and citizens come and go from here. Although the appearance of several people is quite conspicuous, it does not cause panic. After all, none of them were wearing formal uniforms, just military uniforms. Pompey the Younger wore civilian uniform, while the others wore combat uniforms.

"You can get there by taking the elevator in front." Phaethon chatted with him privately in the channel.

"Which one? There are many elevators ahead."

"It's not a public elevator. The way to the bomb level is in the freight elevator at the back. You can't use an ordinary elevator to get to that level. After all, it leads to a deeper place."

People taking the subway came and went around. It's already dark, but the subway will remain open. The light shines on the smooth marble floor, so bright that it can illuminate the shadows of people passing by.

Although it can be seen from many places that the Romans deliberately created a sense of authority - for example, all slogans are in Latin, for example, all corners are right angles, for example, there is no chair around for people to rest, all The landscape is actually on the ceiling, and there’s a whole lot more
Although this is indeed a modern temple, there are quite a lot of people here. People who take the subway actually include Romans, and occasionally you can see some black-haired Romans passing by in Shangluo. And Rome buried the bomb under the truth, which is somewhat of a bad taste.

[It wouldn't be much better if you dropped bombs in Las Vegas. 】

"You understand, no one lives there at all. It is just a gambling den that has not been developed for more than ten years. There are more hotels than bus stations. And New Antioch not only lives in millions of people, but also It’s still your own city. It’s okay if you just bomb the barbarians. I can think that the Romans are bad people. But you also bombed yourself, and you bombed yourself first. How can I put it? I think it is very powerful. What kind of night battle with hidden swords in all directions? Mode."

[That’s why the Romans have so few talents.]

"But I'm really interested in how the Romans planned to blow themselves up. Before I came here I thought it would look like a crystal chandelier."

[Not that one, it’s another one. You'll find out when you get down there - as far as I know that's how it should be. 】

Shangluo looked up - there was indeed a huge crystal chandelier in the center of the hall, and it made a clanging sound when the wind blew. This is indeed the dignity that a metropolis should have. But if it's a bomb hanging overhead, that's too much.
[Ah, you guessed it right. 】

After walking through the crowded hall and reaching a corner freight elevator, little Pompeo sped up a few steps.

"Please wait a moment." Little Pompeo bowed slightly, and then pressed his hand on the elevator button - Shangluo could notice that when he pressed it, a red light flashed rapidly, which seemed to be detecting the call of the elevator. person's identity.

When the elevator was idle, little Pompey looked back: "This elevator can't accommodate too many people. So my King of Rome, your guards may have to stop here. But don't worry, there is Your Excellency Phaethon, and you. Under the protection of this personal 'alchemist', you will be absolutely safe there."

"She's right." Phaethon replied in the channel, "That bomb has many names. After all, it's too scary, and 'Mianmian Baiyunxiang' is too funny. We usually don't call it by its name. They are all replaced by aliases. The most commonly used one is 'crystal chandelier'. You will know it when you see it. It really looks like a crystal chandelier."

"Is it really the one on the top of your head?"

"Yes." Shangluo turned around and said hello, asking those who followed him to wait at the door.

Soon, with a creaking sound, the elevator began to move upward from the lower floor.

The elevator came up from below and opened the door. The interior is very deep, like a freight elevator. However, there was a bright red carpet on the ground, and every fiber of the red carpet was clean and free of dust. The left and right sides are also made of polished stainless steel like mirrors. The one facing the door is simply a mirror.

Interestingly, not only were the floors carpeted, there were also decorative rugs on the ceiling, and they were spotless as well. The entire elevator is extremely symmetrical, as demanding as a spherical chicken in a vacuum.

Someone had already been standing in the elevator. This "person" may be more suitable to be put in quotation marks.

An automaton stands in an elevator. The parts creaked a little when it first started, as if it hadn't been started for a long time, but it soon returned to normal.

Appearing to be made of ceramic, the automaton's casing glowed with a soft white light. The structure of the joints fits together so cleverly that no seams are visible. The wrists and knees are hidden by the top and skirt of the dress, and the face is as dignified and calm as a dancer. Liuli's eyes trembled behind the mask-like stiff face, observing, and the mechanical mandible that could only open to a limited angle played a long-recorded voice:
"Welcome. Which floor do you want to go to?"

"Go to the first floor," replied Pompey the Younger.

"Understood. Please stand firm." The upper body rotated at an exaggerated angle, and the automaton turned around and pressed the mechanical dial next to it, which was the elevator control panel. Interestingly, there are two rows of buttons on it. It is currently on the 1st floor, but going down are the 2nd floor, the 3rd floor, the 4th floor, and then the -4, -3, -2 floors, with the -1 floor at the bottom.

Shangluo vaguely noticed something. It wasn't until the elevator started and descended to the junction of the "4th floor" and the "-4th floor" that his suspicion was confirmed - the elevator began to flip over. Although the direction of gravity in the elevator was still vertically downward, he could still detect from the perception of inertia that the elevator was flipping up and down until it was completely reversed from its original direction.

The others didn't think there was any surprise, but little Pompeo looked over and said, "You seem to have noticed it?"

"Is it upside down?"

"Because we are heading to the mirror layer, this is the special design of this [Aotearoa]. Depending on the purpose of the mission, each [Aotearoa] needs to be designed individually. And the one in front of you , although it has been demolished, its excellent design can be seen from its remains."

Soon, the elevator arrived at the "-1" floor.

"Please watch your step." The automaton answered after the elevator door opened.

"Oh, thank you." Shangluo thanked subconsciously.

The automaton's eyes seemed to tremble. She opened her mouth, but there was only the squeaking sound of parts in her mouth, because she couldn't make any pre-prepared sounds.

"Interesting." Little Pompeo asked, "Are you Cathayans accustomed to saying thank you to household appliances?"

"I have a habit of saying thank you to everyone who has helped me - but then again, I do say thank you to the printer a lot."
