Chapter Eleven: I saw at a glance that it was an elevator
In the end, Kong Ming still didn't think of any good solution to the password lock.
But the door was still opened. To be precise, after Yarlita took her stick and smashed it on the door three or four times, although the password was still a problem, this very high-tech door was no longer a problem. The price was that the stones stuck outside the door were disguised and fell all over the floor. The main body of the steel plate inside had been completely deformed, which made Kong Ming feel a little distressed.
This prodigal girl will be her own things in the future, so why do she do such a ruthless hand?
There is a very wide hall inside the door. Judging from the furnishings of the hall, it should be a place similar to the reception. The reason why it is similar to the reception is entirely because the ancient text posted in this hall shows that Kong Ming does not recognize it.
There are several doors around the hall and two corridors on both sides. Because there are no windows, the entire hall looks gloomy. Judging from the dust on the ground and on the furniture, no one has come in here for a long time.
Kong Ming found a row of buttons on the wall next to the door that he didn't know what to do. It was probably a power switch, but for safety reasons, Kong Ming still planned to put a lighting technique first. As for the function of these buttons, we can slowly study it.
‘Bang!’ The light is on!
"Yallita, what are you doing?"
"On the light!" Yarlita, who appeared beside Kong Ming at some point and pressed all the buttons once, looked at him with confusion, "Boss, don't you think it's too dark here and you can't see anything?"
"Do you know what these buttons are for and just press them randomly? What if there is a self-destruct button in this place?" The eyes under the glasses were bright, as if they were about to make Yarlita feel her mistake.
"Don't worry, boss, everything is under control!" With a slap in the chest, the waves surged.
Kong Ming covered his face with his hands. He felt that he needed to be quiet now. "Yarlita, send a signal to the ship and ask someone to come over and clean it up here. This will be our territory in the future."
“Oh oh oh…”
"I asked you to come and clean, what are you doing there?"
"Boss, come and see..." Yarlita stood at the door of a door on the left side of the hall, "It's so terrible!"
Although it was terrible to say it, Kong Ming could not see any other expression from Yarlita's excited face except for his eagerness to try.
"What's the matter..." Kong Ming also walked over curiously, holding his hand on his glasses while walking, and adding a shield to himself to prevent physical attacks. With the shield he had already opened to isolate the air around him after Yarlita smashed the door, Kong Ming already had two shields on his body.
After thinking about it, it was still unsafe, so Kong Ming activated another anti-magic stance.
There is no way. Now Kong Ming is exploring ancient ruins, which is very dangerous. Maybe the rooms here store things like T viruses. As we all know, those who are playing biochemical tests are dirty, and they don’t study Viagra or something well to benefit all mankind. Instead, they go all out and try their best to study viruses, thinking about how to destroy the world all day long.
As the only mage in the entire pirate world, Kong Ming is responsible for carrying forward the knowledge of arcane in this world. It is very important to protect himself for a brighter future in the entire pirate world.
"What are you scary to see?" Kong Ming walked behind Yarlita and stopped, leaned over to look through the door that was opened by Yarlita.
The conscience of heaven and earth, the reason why Kong Ming adopted this posture was entirely because the two-person Yarlita blocked the door. He absolutely did not worry about any danger in the room and thought of using Yarlita as a meat shield.
Is Kong Ming the kind of person who uses his partner as a meat shield?
There is a small fan-shaped room in the door. From the furnishings, it should be a place like a lounge, with cabinets, beds, and a few things on the walls that seem to be star posters. After removing these seemingly ordinary furnishings, the rest are all mummies, intertwined and crisscrossed. Kong Ming counted at least seven or eight.
What makes people feel scared is that when these mummies died, they all faced in the direction where Yarlita and Kong Ming were. Although their flesh had been weathered, Kong Ming could still see the fear they felt before their death from the faces of these mummies.
"In other words, these people are in this room for no reason, and then the door opens..." Kong Ming held his glasses and analyzed in his heart, "A thing that made these people feel fear appeared in front of the door, and in an instant, all of these people died, so that their terrified expressions did not fade away."
"Oh oh oh, boss, there is no wound on their bodies, and there is no blood on the ground." Yarlita circled around the first mummy standing at the door, "There is only one truth..."
Yarlita waved her hand decisively, "They were scared to death!"
Kong Ming pushed his glasses. Since Yarlita said that, it means that the one who was scared to death in an instant was definitely not the truth. So how did these people die? Could it be that they were poisoned to death? Just like the gas chambers in the concentration camp on earth, the people who died inside were also full of horror.
Kong Ming looked at the door opened by Yarlita again, the very ordinary wooden door, which could be kicked open with one kick. This shows that these people are definitely not dead like the gas chambers in the concentration camp. Could it be that these people were infected with a hallucination poison that could cause fear while poisoning them?
"Don't destroy these things first..." Kong Ming grabbed Yarlita, who was about to use a stick to dissect the mummy. "It's so dirty. You go out first, send a signal to the people on the boat to come, and bring the things on the boat to clean up, and clean up the place first."
"Okay, boss..." This time Yarrita agreed very quickly.
Before his crew arrived here, Kong Ming roughly checked all the rooms on this floor. Seven or eight of them had these dead-like and terrified mummies, all of which were added together, with more than 30 people.
Tell the truth, the empty research institute and the dead and hideous mummy, Kong Ming couldn't help but wonder if he had traveled to a horror movie?
"On the first floor, outside the lounge, warehouse, and office, there are about four to five rooms that may be research rooms. Each research room can accommodate four researchers, plus office clerks, cleaning and security personnel..." Kong Ming thought to himself, which means that everyone on the first floor of this research institute was basically dead, and the death was exactly the same.
As for how these people died, although Kong Ming had no clue, he was not very concerned about the truth about the institute. These dead people should be the scientists who conducted research on this island during the Great Kingdom period.
Generally speaking, when such a vicious incident occurred in the institute, it was impossible for the Great Kingdom to not send people to investigate, but there was no sign of these mummies being moved at all. This means that when these people died, the Great Kingdom or the superiors of the institute had no longer cared about these people, and no one knew that there was this place again.
There is only one time point that can satisfy this situation, that is, the lost one hundred years, the time when the world government replaced the great kingdom. If Kong Ming's estimate is good, then these people have died at least eight hundred years. Even if they were all murdered, the crime will be at least eight hundred years ago.
Even in a criminal case, the prosecution period has passed eight lifetimes.
Even if Kong Ming discovered how these people died, what would happen? Could it be that Kong Ming could find a place to dig the murderer's grave?
"Boss...Boss..." Just as Kong Ming was about to look for the stairs and go to the second floor of the research institute to look, Yarlita's shout came from his ears. When he looked up, he found that a second-hand man was standing in front of a door, waving at him, jumping around. "Here...Here..."
Every time I see such a lively Yarlita, Kong Ming always feels that she is not suitable for eating slippery fruits. Animal-based dog fruits, and the husky shape is more suitable for her, at least for her now.
But it is not certain that Yarlita is already very lively now. If she adds another husky fruit, Kong Ming is worried that the second-hand man will not remove the door and change the load-bearing wall by then, and he may not say when he will die.
Alas! I have always kept such a guy by my side. What a great contribution I have made to the entire East China Sea!
"What have you discovered again?" Kong Ming walked to Yarlita and pushed his glasses with his hand.
"Look, boss!" Yarlita looked like she offered treasures and slapped the door in front of her twice, "I slapped so hard that this door couldn't be opened, right? Then I'll make you a magic trick... Oh oh... why did it open!"
"Because I saw the button to open the door..." Kong Ming knocked on the side of the door with his hand.
"Oh oh oh... Boss, you are so keen, you discovered this little secret so quickly." Yarlita seemed to have not suffered any setbacks at all, and still said with confidence, "Look, Boss, there is a small house, empty and nothing. Then I go in, you close the door outside, and a minute later, if you open the door again, you will find..."
"The small house is empty, you ran upstairs or downstairs..."
"Oh oh oh... why did you know again, boss!" This time, Yarlita was really surprised, with four incredible words written in her two big eyes.
Because I recognized it at a glance that this was an elevator!
Now Kong Ming really admires the science and technology of the ancient kingdom hundreds of years ago. Hundreds of years ago, people could produce high-tech things such as elevators, robots, laser weapons, etc. As a result, hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and people in the pirate world have fallen to using smoothbore guns.
However, Kong Ming thought about the high-quality imitation of the Seven-Warrior Sea Bear robots that appeared in the anime, as well as laser weapons, intelligent query systems and other things used by the robots, and he also felt that the technology in the current pirate world is also quite powerful.
Well, the Pirate World is a world where technology trees grow in a turbulent way.
This institute has nine floors in total, which is the information that Kong Ming got from the elevator button. Although Kong Ming does not recognize the word on the button, he can see from the arrangement of the buttons. For example, the button currently on the light may be the first floor, so the five buttons below it represent the negative first floor to the fifth floor, and the three buttons above it represent the second floor to the fourth floor.
Very good, at least the arrangement of this elevator button is similar to that of the earth.
Although there may be many valuable things in this institute, Kong Ming did not forget what his real purpose was?
Magic node!
In Kong Ming's perception, the magic of jumping like a flame or a fountain was right below him. Judging from the distance, it should be the second level.
Pressing the button on the second floor and the button to close the door, the elevator that had not been running for 800 years began to operate again. The speed was not fast. At least Kong Ming did not think it was very fast, because now he could clearly feel his heart beating vigorously. On just two floors, his heart seemed to have been beating dozens of times.
Chapter completed!
