old light morning light

Chapter 76 "34"

Does that mean attacking the admissions officers at Union College?
The alliance passenger ship was sunk, such a thing is not a trivial matter, but there is no such news at all recently.

Is it credible?
Could it be an excuse he just made up to talk to me?
"So you're worried that they're here for us?"

Eiffel shouldn't be able to say such things with such a deadpan face, right?

"I also suddenly came up with such an idea, mainly to sink our ships on our territory. This is indeed too abnormal!"

His eyes didn't seem to have changed much, and his words should be believable if inferred according to common sense.

"You should have contacted Mr. Pruss, what did he say?"

As for why it takes so much effort?

The funny thing is that we exist in this world as an alliance, but we are subject to the confrontation of various communication service providers, and we have not purchased a suitable package or even can only use the most basic telecommunications services.

But the attack on the alliance's passenger ship... I think this matter is really a bit mysterious. First of all, it violates various agreements.

"He told us to go back as fast as possible, someone will come and pick us up."

Are you coming to pick us up from this place, or pick us up back to Emerald?

The Prince's Constellation, the Emerald Galaxy, can be regarded as the sphere of influence of a veteran power, so it should be regarded as a relatively safe place, right?
As a den of thieves in military academies, the security should be quite reliable.

"We have to go back by ourselves and meet up with Mr. Pruss."

Eiffel stood up, as if he wanted to leave here.

I have no choice but to keep up, and now the asylum has not been lifted, so what if we go out?

And just now he said that someone will come to pick us up, which shows that the top management of the alliance is not completely ignorant of these incidents, and they have taken certain actions to try to alleviate this situation, right?
Then his description just now becomes more believable...

I haven't received a reply from Moral and Nalia on my personal terminal, which also makes me quite worried, but since Kalinin told me about them, I can only continue to wait like this .

Did we walk through such a long corridor when we ran here?
"Boom~da~, boom~da!"

The sound of footsteps bouncing back and forth in this tubular world, the light strips that are reasonably separated give off faint light, but just enough that we cannot see the light in the distance, and the constantly rotating fan blades pump the air that maintains our normal physiological activities into it .

It has to be said that the oxygen content in the atmosphere here is still quite high, at least for now, I feel more comfortable exercising than when I was in the empire.

Since it is not a regular entry and exit, we are forced to only use the steps to walk out of here. Although Eiffel's mood became quite good before, it seems that he is not too happy now.

How should I put it, this is what he asked for?
After Eiffel showed his ID, he got permission to leave here, and I, who was walking with him, was not embarrassed.

It's really amazing to say that they don't even have to worry about me and Eiffel forging identities, and they have no doubts about my identity.

Although I feel quite powerful in my senses, but now that I think about it carefully, I am afraid that this may not be a completely irresponsible attitude, right?
Humans are just such creatures who like to be "vile". Obviously they gave me convenience, but I am still here...

"Oh, damn it, this endless staircase, I knew I would have continued squatting below it."

I don't know how long it took to climb, but Eiffel suddenly sat down on the #4 platform that he just climbed to, and casually buckled the safety lock hanging on his waist.

"I suggest you buckle him up, and I'll have to go up to the platform below to shovel you if he falls later."

"Ok?"

"Why a shovel?"

"You broke and stuck to the platform, so what else can I do?"

Although I know that showing cuteness against the law is a villain's behavior, but for now, this can be regarded as a way to adjust my mood.

"Hey, you bastard, don't do this."

You are the bastard, don't buckle the safety lock, your mouth is quite hard, but your body is quite honest.

#4 platform, according to this view, there are probably about 3 platforms left, come on, Eiffel, you can do it!

But it's also quite fun. Every time this guy climbs onto such a platform, he will sit down and start cursing. This time he just took out the safety lock. I guess his physical strength is almost at the limit, right?
It's a pity that all the things on him this time have been confiscated by a customs officer who did not want to be named, otherwise he could have taken out a bottle of water for him to drink...

"Let's go, we've reached platform #1, let's climb slowly, you guys don't want to wait any longer, that's all you can do."

Eiffel had a sad face, completely looking like "I can't move, it doesn't matter to me what you like about Pruss".

It is said that hardships can temper one's will, but fortunately, my physical strength is not bad, at least for now it is still within the scope of my control.

The main reason is that the smell is not pleasant, and I always have a kind of gas component that may not be good in it...

Moreover, the environment here is quite depressing, and it always gives me a faint feeling of discomfort.

Anyway, try not to stay here any longer.

"Come on, there's light ahead!"

After I tried to "pull" this guy and failed, I could only continue to think of ways to trick him into continuing to work hard.

Although I look up now, I can only see endless stairs, the left and right handrails meeting at a point at what seems to be an infinite distance.

It's really a depressing scene...

But Wangmei is known to quench thirst.

If there is no way, then there is really no way...

"Light! There is light!"

But okay, it looks great.

What the hell am I laughing at? Hey!
In this way, Eiffel finally climbed up to the #0 platform as if he had been beaten with chicken blood...

"Ah! Ah! Ah~~"

Seems to be aware of it, Eiffel stared at me who was silent with sharp eyes, and I didn't know what to say, so I just continued to look at him.

"What's going on, Lin Man, Lin Man!"

For the Moralization of Eiffel, I should have expected it in advance, but what I didn't expect is that this thing actually has a #0 platform...

Seeing Eiffel gasping for breath, forget it...

But why is there a #0 platform, it's not scientific!
I don't play the cards according to the routine, but oh my god, I'm actually pretty much the same myself, and I can find a chance to squat, so I can take a little rest.

"Ah, Lin Man, you were a manure picker before...!"

Maybe it was watching me squatting aside unhurriedly, Eiffel seemed to be unable to hold back and started to pull me and shout.

"Okay, okay, let's take a good rest after sitting down."

Why can't you stop your mouth even if you are gasping for breath!

"We have to work harder, otherwise what will Mr. Pruss do?"

"Oh, hey, I can't help it, I can't control it, really, I can't control it."

"I'm going to die myself, how can I take care of him."

Eiffel kept waving his hands, signaling me not to continue talking.

It seems that the sound from the outside can already be heard here. Perhaps the #0 platform was not in the original construction design, and the railing here is not a one-piece alloy, but assembled in sections.

In other words, this platform may not be an iconic platform, or it may be a kind of maintenance platform temporarily built here.

In other words, this place should not be far from the ground...

Are you going to lie to this guy again?

Then if my guess is wrong, this guy really exhausted all his strength and can only hang in the sky to rest... Wouldn't that be too immoral?

Forget it...

"I seem to hear someone talking above."

I'm such a bad person...

"Stop coming, don't lie to me!"

"I won't move even an inch!"

"Really, really listen to yourself!"

You must know that under such circumstances, people will always choose to believe in things that are beneficial to them. People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

If his heart really wants to leave this purgatory quickly, then he will really choose to believe all the information he has ingested related to this aspect, and under his own subjective effect, he will take it bit by bit. enlarge.

This is the so-called "auditory hallucination".

Sure enough, after my voice fell, the environment here fell into a strange silence. If there were no wind turbines spinning from time to time in the distance, the world would be suspended.

"Yes, yes!"

Eiffel's eyes widened, and it seemed that strength was gushing out again, pulling me to stand up slowly again.

I can't imagine what kind of expression he will use to see me if we still fail to climb out this time?

"Lin Man! You big liar!"

It's over, there are already strange pictures in my mind...

He wouldn't push me down, would he?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but pull the safety lock in front of me... It shouldn't be so...

"Boom!"

A muffled sound came from above.

It seems that Eiffel should have pushed away something like a manhole cover, but... After climbing up, this place is just like a small room.

Is this some kind of weird Miaomiao house?

But fortunately, we quickly found a ladder to continue going up next to it.

Maybe this is to prevent the people above from opening the cover and falling directly into the tube well for some reason?
There are also some tool racks here, which seem to be used as a preparation area for maintenance personnel, right?

"Squeak... Squeak! Squeak~"

The unspeakable piercing noise accompanied by the blinding light caused my brain to temporarily shut down.

When I came back to my senses, Eiffel had already climbed the ladder and opened the door to "Heaven".

Good guy!
Really... crawled out...?
