Although they are both underground, compared to the ruins of the Blind Eye Society that they once visited, the successors of the new generation are obviously a little less stylish.
The spiraling steps down are very long, but the entire journey is full of industrial style. There are no recognizable decorations, and it feels like an endless road.
But even on such a journey, Fu Qian's steps were still like a pilgrimage, without any hesitation in the whole process.
"Is it them?"
When the crisp echo of footsteps suddenly stopped, Fu Qian turned his head and confirmed with Aisi.
At the end of the long staircase is a metal door with the same style.
Although it looks quite strong, it is not closed at the moment, and through the open window, two figures can be seen quietly standing behind the door.
A man and a woman, all wearing burqas similar to those of Aisi.
The man among them looked to be in his twenties and was very tall.
In contrast, the girl is about the same age as she is currently playing, her face is slightly pale, and her long and disheveled hair even has a dry yellow color from malnutrition.
Both of them had obviously noticed the movement outside and were looking over at them, especially Fu Qian, who was walking in front.
"Yes, they have been waiting for you for a long time."
After catching up two steps and opening the door, Ais motioned for Fu Qin to come in.
"I'm really sorry, but I've tried my best to move forward."
Following the good deeds, Fu Qian went straight to the two newcomers under scrutiny, and even expressed his apology without emotion.
……
Although he could hear it clearly, there was obviously no emotional involvement in Fu Qian's apology. The two people waiting behind the door frowned with strange expressions for a moment.
"Don't worry, to be precise, they have been waiting for the third person for a long time."
Ais didn't seem to mind, and explained with a smile before the two of them expressed their opinions.
"You need to enter the workshop in groups of three, and then rely on their talents to obtain weapons."
"After the two of them passed the examination, they have been waiting for the third person to appear. From this point of view, what you brought is actually a surprise."
"We only received the summons during the day today. According to our original estimate, we would have to wait at least several days for results."
Looking up and down at Fu Qian, Aisi's sigh seemed somewhat sincere.
"After all, some people hesitate for days just by hesitating."
"That's it...you're welcome."
Under the boss's compliments, Fu Qian was actually polite.
In the field of vision, the two classmates, whose expressions were already complicated because of Aisi's description, suddenly looked even more complicated.
The final performance was that he really responded to Fu Qian's call. This word of thanks is completely unspeakable.
The moment the team gathered, the atmosphere successfully became anxious - just like the exploration mission in the ruins at that time.
Mr. Aisi is indeed professional, and he always successfully completes the guidance in just a few words.
Of course, it can also be seen from this point that the subsequent process of obtaining "weapons" does not require too close teamwork.
While admiring Aisi's quirks, Fu Qian silently came to a conclusion.
……
"Haha... Now that everyone is finally here, let's not continue to waste time." Facts proved Fu Qian's judgment. Aisi actually had no interest in introducing the team members and directly signaled with a cheerful smile. Set off.
The only thing that was gratifying was that she finally considered the issue of team attire, and quickly motioned to the older brother to help fetch a burqa of the same style.
The size of this type of clothing does not have such a big impact, so when Fu Qian frowned and took it on, it actually seemed to fit quite well.
Of course, among the three of them, he is undoubtedly the most inconspicuous in terms of appearance alone.
Different from the above, the area where everyone is standing on this floor is quite large, and then it is divided into independent spaces.
Along the way, what you see are metal doors that are exactly the same size and shape. There is no difference even in the spacing. Only the number next to them serves as an identification.
Compared to a workshop, it looks more like a warehouse that perfectly inherits the monotonous industrial style.
From the perspective of Fu Qian, it is easy to find that both the door and the wall have been specially treated.
Although it can't compare with the box in Ms. Yingzhu's hand, it still has a certain effect of isolating perception.
To start such a project in such a place, my previous judgment about Aisi and the others was indeed correct. They should all be well-endowed.
"We're right in front, I'll open the door."
During the moment of appreciation, Aisi's voice broke the silence.
"Remember, after entering, never take any unauthorized action."
But compared to before, her tone was much more serious.
"The things inside are beyond your imagination, even beyond normal perception."
"So no matter what you see, don't say anything, don't mess around, and strictly follow every step I tell you. Only then will the workshop be able to successfully smelt your own 'weapon'. Do you understand?"
As she spoke, Aisi's eyes swept across the faces of the three of them, especially Fu Qian, who had just arrived.
After a moment, she finally nodded with satisfaction and stood in front of one of the doors.
……
It is indeed different.
Aisi's movements were still crisp. As the door of the legendary workshop slowly opened, the scene behind it also came into view.
But it is still different from the "smelting" in the general imagination. Behind the door is not a wide working room, nor a boiling blast furnace. Instead, there is another passage.
Of course it is much narrower than the outside, with barely enough room for one person to pass through. And since there is no light source, the field of view becomes completely dark after walking a few steps.
At this time, the importance of doing ideological work in advance becomes apparent.
Although Aisi, who was walking at the front, had no intention of taking out the equipment to light the team, the trio still did not fall behind. They stood quietly at the back as required and followed the twists and turns of the narrow passage.
Of course, even if they try their best to suppress it, they can still clearly feel the transformation of the two team members from excitement to confusion.
So much so that in such darkness, vision was meaningless to them, but they still couldn't help but look left and right.
In contrast, Fuzen, who is full of the power of Chuni, is the only one who can maintain the team's competitiveness, silently counting the steps without looking away.
Of course, this did not prevent him from admiring the scenery around him.
I believe that even two team members can tell that this excessively tortuous passage is entirely made of metal.
What Rang Fuqian found interesting was that he was very sure that unlike the door outside, the materials were exactly the same as Ms. Yingzhu's box.
In other words, the team is now walking into a much bigger box. (End of chapter)
