Chapter 1128 Heart of Darkness (Part 2)
As the Tribunal team deepened, the real scene quickly became dazzling. If it were not for the change in the twisted angle of the pillar, Lennart Mai Yes might have thought they were descending in the same wide room.
The repetition of the room seemed to have an eerie eerie feel to it, and there seemed to be some intention behind it, although he could not guess what it meant.
But he was well aware of the size of the space.
Although this is a closed space, it is huge, so the concept of space will be distorted to a certain extent in the human brain.
While rooms are repeated, suggesting infinite directions, they serve no substantive function and store nothing, but they do have meaning.
A certain intention is immersed in its flawless crimson color.
They reached the lowest level, several floors above where the openings to the exterior had been buried by rock and soil, and the team was now below the depth to which the structure was buried.
The brightness of the light is the same as before. The structure of this room is the same as all the rooms they passed before, but there is no window. Instead, there is a circular opening, forming a stone path leading to the center of the plateau. tunnel.
Its shape made Lennart Meyers think it was more like a pipe than a channel. It only extended forward for about 15 meters before being blocked by rocks.
There is no other fork in the road. Their trip seemed to be coming to an end.
The Tech-Priest said before Lennart Meyers could ask the question:
“I still don’t have any readings.”
The Inquisitor said nothing for the time being. His helmet's illuminator glowed a brighter red, his frustration seeming to mirror the surrounding light.
“Such a ruin was discovered through unnatural means. This kind of work must require strength, and its source must be somewhere.”
"But maybe not here."
The one-eyed mercenary suggested again:
"Maybe we are going in the wrong direction."
Lennart Meyers looked Looking at the curved outer wall of the pipe, he was a little confused about the design of the stone carving, so he checked it carefully.
This place is built by brickwork, the joints are almost invisible, no grouting is needed, the stones can be perfectly connected together, each stone is engraved with an image like the room he was in just now , topped with columns, rows of windows, wide spaces reduced to abstract lines.
connected lines.
Like a circuit.
“This is a machine.”
After a while, Lennart Meyers suddenly said something surprising.
“I get it, we’re inside a machine.”
"Machine?"
The tech-priest repeated in a questioning tone, as if Lennart Meyers were a blasphemous heretic.
“Look.”
Lennart Meyers pointed at the wall.
“We saw so much duplication of rooms, but the rooms themselves didn’t make sense, they could have worked together, like cells.”
"What is it used for?"
"I don't know, but you can see the energy filling it."
"I don't think there is anything that cannot be explained by the changes in subspace."< br>
The Tech-Priest looked a little annoyed.
“If this is a machine, it is just a dull machine, and this information has no effect on us.”
Lennart Meyers thought for a moment, and suddenly fired a round of fire at the rubble blocking the road with the gun in his hand.
The rubble quickly crumbled, much looser than he had imagined, although completely removing it would still be a difficult task.
At this time, he noticed the stormtroopers waiting.
“What was found?”
“Nothing was found.”
Lennart Meyers is not going to give up. Although there is indeed no way out now, he still has one last option.
"Call Melissa and ask her to come down. I need her strength."
Soon, the Inquisitor's order was conveyed to the ground, and Melissa put on her equipment and took the Grab your pistol and follow the Stormtroopers underground.
She followed their footsteps, the dull thud of boots on the ground replaced by the hollow thud of wood.
“Careful, ma’am.”
"Thank you." She stepped onto a narrow platform, but now the world was no longer visible in her mind's eye, filled with shadows and surrounded by vast white spaces, the tapping of her cane letting her know Keep your feet on the ground.
The colonists built a rough scaffolding on the surface of the building. The hole was located at the base of the gate house, where the earth first collapsed and where the Inquisitor ordered preliminary excavation.
Secondary excavation continued in three other fissures, but none had a clear advantage and most efforts were concentrated here.
There are uneven steps here, roughly sawn, that snake down between rough platforms.
The further down she went, the more blank and chaotic the world became, forcing her to use almost all her spiritual power to block damage, leaving only a small amount of energy to keep herself moving and interact with the material world.
Soon, when entering darkness, anxiety rose, forming a bubble in her mental world.
This was worthless and dangerous. She suppressed it with stronger strength, walked forward, and walked down step by step.
Ahead of her, the heavy footsteps of the Storm Troopers changed, and now came the echo of hard stone.
“We are about to enter the ruins.”
She had turned to the right now.
She turned on the light and found that the previous platform was gradually replaced by a stable structure as she crossed the threshold.
Melissa clearly saw the outline of the arch, as if the break with the subspace suddenly stopped. When she entered, her perception increased a hundred times than before.
Time disappears.
The world disappeared.
There is only chaos.
She was then attacked, coming from all directions, overwhelming her barriers and immersing her in abnormal energy.
This is not a random intrusion, it has a specific shape, has a purpose, and exists in time.
But there is a voice.
It was Lennart Meyers calling her name, and she grabbed the fragments of reality, fighting the crazy turbulence, reaching the shore, and bit by bit regained her voice, touch and thoughts nature.
Then she was surprised to find that she was still standing, with the Inquisitor standing in front of her.
“Can you continue?”
“Yes.”
This word symbolizes a kind of victory.
"My lord, people say this building is lifeless, that is not true"
"We know that there is distorted energy, that's all."
The Inquisitor glanced around and said:
"Augury"
"There is no change. ”
The one who spoke was still the technical priest.
"Still an incoherent waveform."
Melissa grunted and continued to move forward.
Lower and deeper, she was gradually involved in the spiritual wind. Taking a step was a war in itself.
She achieved one difficult victory after another, and the more painful it was, the closer she felt she was getting to something.
Time was broken again, and she was in a state of anger and anticipation. When she realized the plane beyond her struggle, she had stopped moving.
Lennart Meyers's voice penetrated the haze, as if from another distant planet.
"There is no way, we can't move forward."
The effort of speaking brought her to the edge of collapse, but the responsibility made her straighten her back.
"No, we are very close."
She stretched out her left hand and brushed the palm of her hand against the rock wall.
"What is this?"
