Chapter 557: One Step
There was an earthquake.
Rhine is not in the seismic zone. It often does not experience a small earthquake every ten years, and large earthquakes have been even rarer for thousands of years.
Therefore, the earthquake-proof performance of the buildings here is not very good. Although the magnitude of this earthquake was not too high and the duration was very short, less than a minute, it still caused some damage.
Especially those dilapidated houses in the King District were knocked down a lot. Fortunately, because of Lynch, the city government had already started to repair the houses and took all the residents out in advance. Plus today The whole city celebrated, and the streets were empty, so not many people were injured, which can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
We had just experienced the abnormality of the rules, and before people could calm down, there was another earthquake.
Fortunately, our attention has been diverted from the shock of July snow, but now this one is more serious.
Fortunately, we are already in the steam age, and people have begun to believe in science. They know that earthquakes are normal phenomena, and they will not blame the problem on unknowable things, nor will they cause panic. But as a result, there was no interest in the celebration anymore, and everyone just dispersed with unfulfilled interest. It's just that many people feel strange. When a disaster occurs, according to past habits, the saints will rush to the front with the Sisters of the Passion. Today, a few Sisters of the Passion came out, but the Saints were nowhere to be seen. This made everyone endure. I couldn't help but worry about Ms. Nightingale, whom everyone loved, and prayed that nothing would happen to her.
Nothing has happened yet.
The vibration came suddenly, and it was more obvious underground than on the ground. Although it could not be called an earthquake, even the volunteers who were kneeling to pray were shaken to the ground to maintain their balance, and the priests who delivered equipment were even more shocked. Unsteady and unsteady.
As for Lynch, he immediately hugged the geological survey instrument. At first glance, this thing was expensive and considered an epic item. He might not be able to afford it even if he sold it. What's more important is that it is definitely impossible to prepare a lot of this kind of thing. If it really breaks down, it will be troublesome.
Fortunately, the survey instrument has been fixed to the ground. After dozens of seconds of vibration, the survey instrument is safe and sound.
A group of people got up from the ground in embarrassment and looked at the environment in shock.
It is indeed a safe house that Trinleis is proud of. It has more than 100 meters of man-made traces and is hidden deep underground, but it was not affected by the earthquake at all. There was not even a trace of the wall peeling off. .
The prayer was interrupted. After all, everyone was lying on the ground, but it didn’t seem to be a big problem. The volunteers were not injured. As soon as they recovered, they immediately recovered under Nightingale’s organization. Pray for the ceremony to continue smoothly.
These Madonnas have no intention of running out to provide disaster relief. Real Madonnas know what is more important and will not do those unnecessary stupid things.
But apart from them, the safe house was in chaos.
The eight priests and knights who carried the geological survey instrument down with Trinleis had just fixed the survey instrument when they were caught up in the earthquake and were shaken to the ground on the spot. Looks quite miserable.
But Lin Qi, who was holding the survey instrument, was secretly watching them. Most of the people in the previous safe house were reliable, but these eight people were new ones. Although they were the candidates confirmed by Trinleth, Lin Qi Qi still kept the utmost vigilance and was always on guard against their evil intentions, such as destroying this precious instrument.
However, it is gratifying that these people did not show any abnormality, and quickly disappeared under Trinleth's instructions, leaving the safe house to the most reliable group of people, so the safe house Calm has returned again, and everything seems to be normal, but it just happened to experience an earthquake.
Just right? This joke is so funny.
Lynch slapped himself in the head, punishing himself for having such a stupid idea in his first reaction.
“This is by no means an ordinary earthquake.”
Lynch is still thinking, and Chairman Ole has already rubbed his waist and made a judgment:
"I can sense that there is an invisible connection between earthquakes and mystery. I can be sure that this earthquake is definitely not natural. There must be human traces behind it. Even if it is not Shudmeier, I doubt that the Alliance of Shadows will It can’t be separated.”
That’s true. "Although I didn't feel it, I think so." Lynch sighed and said: "This earthquake came quite strangely. It broke out not long after we realized that Shudemeier might exist. With the mysterious world That weird correlation, I absolutely don’t believe there is no connection between the two, and I have another idea.”
"Huh?"
"I doubt that Shudmeier or the people from the Shadow Alliance have any way to peek here, so the timing is so accurate."
Trinless Asked: "What time?"
"Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence? We just took down the geological survey instrument and before we could use it, the earthquake came. Is it possible that the person who caused the earthquake wanted to use this method to interrupt our operation? This means What?"
The two old men pondered: "If you continue, what does it mean?"
"It means that Shudemeier is shy and doesn't want us to peek at it." Lynch sneered. Said, "Of course it may not be Schudemeier, but no matter who it is, if the other party really chose this moment deliberately and wants to interrupt us from using the survey instrument, that means..."
Trinleth said in a deep voice: "It means we might find something if we use it."
"Yes, I think so."
"We originally planned to Use it." Trinleth nodded, "Now the reason is more solid. It seems that there is really some secret hidden underneath. Once discovered by us, it is likely to ruin their next plan."
"Then use it quickly." The chairman had already circled the surveying instrument several times, with curiosity written all over his face. "What does this thing do? How to start it?"
"It can measure the ground underground. The cavities and cracks in the area were marked and finally drawn on the drawings with high accuracy. It was originally the equipment prepared for the Best Mountain Tunnel," the archbishop said, pointing to the red lever on the machine, "That is the start switch. The energy was already charged before I borrowed it."
The chairman looked at the red lever eagerly like a curious child: "Then I started it?"
The archbishop nodded and said: "The less the enemy wants us to do something, the more we have to do it, and we have no other choice. We can't feel at ease unless we understand the following situation."
"Just pull it. This? "
The chairman pressed the red lever curiously, but at this moment, Lin Qi's expression suddenly changed.
The archbishop's words reminded him of something.
A few months ago, deep underground, in front of Mordiggian, he had thought the same thing. The result was that he awakened Mordiggian's clone, and then spread the divine power of disease to the entire world. .
A few Tuesdays ago, he thought this again, and then he smashed the door between illusion and reality with one punch, successfully transforming the disease into a plague.
Nowadays, some people think like this logically, and the opponent is still the League of Shadows and the Black Spider.
“Wait a minute.” Lynch shouted sharply immediately, “Don’t pull it yet.”
Kah.
A step too late, the lever had already been pulled down.
