Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 827 Mirror
The elevator door opened with the bell, and the scene outside was projected in - the sunlight hit the marble floor, reflecting the shadow of the hall. It looks like the waiting hall of a metropolitan subway station, just like before. But the entire hall was deserted as if it was not open for business.

Could it be that the elevator's turntable just broke? Are metropolitan subway stations closed today? Or is it a combination of both? Or are these just shadows?

Everything was normal outside, but he had no intention of going out directly. He pressed the button to close the door and pressed the button for other floors. But the entire elevator seemed to be malfunctioning and motionless.

"Huh" he breathed out. The long-lost tension made him a little uneasy, but the elevator was obviously not prepared to accept him anymore. And with no one else around to count on, he could only rely on himself.

"Ptolemy, come out with me. Seleucus blocks the elevator door and doesn't let the elevator leave." He arranged the task and took steps.

Alexander stepped out of the elevator and felt the marble floor with his feet. Everything here is still quite normal and nothing has changed.

He called back: "Ptolemy, come out with me."

He heard no footsteps, so he shouted again, but there was still no movement inside.

Extreme uneasiness suddenly emerged - Ptolemy could not possibly refuse his order. He was the master of Ptolemy and the master of Seleucus. Although the two established their own empires, they were all Alexander's generals at the beginning. They had never betrayed Alexander throughout, and they shouldn't now. Ptolemy didn't follow, so there must be something big enough to affect everything.

He swallowed and turned back slowly. As if facing a trial, he wanted to see what it was that made Ptolemy resist his orders.

What he saw when he turned around was unexpected - Ptolemy was not looking at him, and neither was Seleucus. He could only see the backs of their heads. They were not looking at him outside, but at the inner wall opposite the elevator door. On the mirror-like inner wall is Alexander's mirror image. Ptolemy and Seleucid both looked at the image in the mirror, as if the scene was more real than Alexander's.

Now the mirror image was the same as Alexander's, wearing casual clothes underneath and a carrier robe outside, with a golden laurel branch and two horns on his head. This is a matter of course, the mirror image will naturally be the same as the original body.

Suddenly, the mirror moved.

The mirror image entered through the elevator door in the mirror and entered the elevator.

"???" Alexander was stunned, "What are you?"

The "mirror image" did not answer Alexander's words, as if his words were the wind in his ears or a distorted reflection in the water. Ptolemy and Seleucid both looked inside the elevator, not outside it.

Without any feedback or even a greeting, the elevator lady pressed the door button.

"???" Alexander noticed immediately. But when he rushed to the elevator door, the elevator door had already closed. The stainless steel elevator door blocked him out of the elevator and closed it ruthlessly.
The smooth stainless steel exterior doors of the elevator project all images of the outside world. The lobby, the columns, the marble, everything in the waiting room. However, Alexander, who was leaning in front of the elevator door, did not see his shadow on the stainless steel door.

"Father...Father?" Alexander's stunned voice was drowned in the empty hall and melted into the sunlight.

....
The elevator went up, and the elevator came back.

The elevator was waiting at its original location, because the Alexander just now was not the person it was waiting for. After it sent Shangluo down, it had to send Shangluo back. They are pretty nice people.

"You said there is a problem with the elevator?" Phaethon received the message from Shangluo, "Is there anyone else who wants to target you? Even the deepest Alexander is gone."

"It's just intuition, I feel this way intuitively. And now that I'm finally 'clean', it makes me think back to the previous situation - I think there must be something wrong with the elevator. Didn't you notice? Every time we go deep here The situation is all about taking the elevator, and there is no exception. If other possibilities are eliminated, isn't it very likely that there is something wrong with the elevator? "

"That makes sense," Phaethon replied, "but I just saw Alexander going up in the elevator, and there didn't seem to be anything unusual. However, we can't see what he looked like after going up here, and we can't rule out any circumstances."

"But if we want to go up, we still have to take the elevator."

"This is true. Not only us, but also senior Fu Yuanshan and the others came down in the elevator. If the problem is the elevator, and the elevator is no longer safe, it means that we have to find a new way."

"What do you think?" Shangluo asked, "How about waiting for me to come out?"

"What if Wenyuan and the others have to take the elevator down?" "Huh? They are not in New Antioch."

"Who knows where they will come from. Anyway, I'd better go test it out. Anyway, I won't get on the elevator." Suddenly, she was silent for a moment.

"what happened?"

"The elevator is back! No one pressed the elevator button at all, but the elevator door opened. The elevator lady was looking at me. She seemed to be telling us to take the elevator?"

"Then who dares to sit here! Move back!"

"Well" Phaethon nodded, "I'll go meet Karin first. Apollonia, just keep an eye on her here."

【ah? Why am I not moving here? 】

"Didn't you notice that the delay got bigger as you got further and further away from Shangluo?! Didn't you notice that your movements became slower and slower? Hurry, stand here and don't move. What if your signal is lost halfway? I don't know what to do. How can I bring you back?"

[Okay, then I'll stand here. I'm afraid of life, so you have to go early and come back early. ] Apollonia waved Phaethon away.

"Ah, I feel a little relieved now that I can't do anything." Losing his body and being unable to perceive the outside world relieved Shangluo of his responsibilities, making him feel much more relaxed.

【Wow! ! ! ! who! ] Apollonia was suddenly startled.

"What are you doing? Scaring me?"

"Good guy!" Fu Yuanshan next to him also jumped back violently, and both of them noticed something.

"What's going on?" Shangluo asked in the channel. But then he also saw something that surprised them in his field of vision - an automaton standing at the door holding a tray.

"Shangluo, are all the things here wandering spirits? It scared me! They appeared without any movement at all!"

"Huh? As for that?"

"Shangluo, you are also a heavenly being. If something that you can't feel suddenly appears in your senses, wouldn't you feel shocked?"

Suddenly, the automaton standing at the door spoke:

"Would anyone like to eat alkaline water balls?"

Everyone in the room was silent.

"Everyone, why don't you come and eat some alkaline water balls?"

"Do you know him?" Fu Yuanshan asked.

"I think I know him. This seems to be the chef? But that's wrong. He shouldn't be here. He should be up there - how did he get down?"

"Your Majesty the King of Rome?" The chef looked inside, "Would you like some alkaline water balls? They were just baked. The taste is different from the previous ones. The ingredients here are much more complete! I added delicious chocolate. I want to try it. Taste it?”
