Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

"Why are the colors of our passports different?" After distributing the passports to everyone, Ke Luoer asked abruptly, and she looked at Li Ke with suspicion in her eyes.

"It should be because of the different races. Don't you think we are the same color?" Grani said carelessly without the slightest doubt.

"Ah, that's right, it's because of race." Li Ke said calmly, and silently praised Grani in his heart.

"Speaking of which, this ruin is surprisingly big. Shall we go back to the ground first and talk to them?"

Indeed, the scale of this research institute is astonishingly large. If the overall area is calculated according to the area of ​​the living area, the whole research institute is almost as big as a small city. If the four of them go to explore now, I don’t know how long it will take In order to walk through it all.

"Let's go down and have a look first. This research institute is very big, but many places have been damaged, and there are only a few places that can be entered...Go down and check the situation first. If there are many intact areas, then go up. It's not too late." Li Ke explained.

"That's it, that's fine, then let's go."

The group returned to the side of the elevator shaft.

This time, Li Ke did not borrow the "public key" from Skadi, but stuck the passport he had just obtained on the surface of the wall.

After ripples like water waves appeared, the door opened in front of them again, revealing the inner space.The inside looks exactly the same as the previous elevator, but the elevator's control panel has undergone some changes, with a few more buttons than the original.

Once inside the elevator, Grani leaned over to the control panel.

"Let me see, [hub layer], [experimental layer] and [core layer], we should go directly to [core layer], right, so should we press the last button?"

Perhaps because of the previous lesson, Grani did not press the button hastily this time, but turned to Li Ke and asked.

"That's right, if you want to know the status of the entire research institute, it's easy to go to the [core layer]." Li Ke nodded, affirming Grani's question.

"Then I'm going to press it." As he said that, Grani pressed the button representing the [Core Layer].

【error: permission denied】

A blood-red warning window popped out suddenly, completely covering the control panel.

Grani was stunned, and looked at the window with some surprise, "Access denied? Is there something wrong with this thing?"

"Maybe your authority is not enough, let me try it." Li Ke deliberately pretended to be ignorant, stepped forward, and pressed the [core layer] button.

The warning window disappeared, the elevator exit slowly closed, and the same status information as before appeared on the control panel—they were descending rapidly, heading towards the core layer at the bottom.

"Look, there is no problem with the elevator shaft, otherwise, we would not have been able to enter this research institute from the very beginning." Li Ke shrugged and said, "Maybe it was established by the ancestors of Lateran , so my authority is higher than yours."

"Is that so..." Grani nodded half-understanding.

This kind of words can only be used to deceive the simple-minded Grani. If it were another person, they would definitely not just believe Li Ke's words.For example, Ke Luoer, she never believed in Li Ke from the beginning, but after several times of questioning, she found that in this small team, few people would pay attention to what she said.The only one who is willing to talk to her, Grani, still trusts Li Ke very much at this time.

So, at this time, she wisely chose to shut up.

Skadi may have noticed something, but with her character, she probably wouldn't explain such a trivial matter.

From the first floor of the research institute to the bottom floor, it was only less than a kilometer away. With the speed of this elevator, it took almost seven or eight seconds to reach the destination.

The exit opened, revealing a pitch-black passage. At the end of the passage, a large number of small red, yellow, and green light spots could be seen flickering non-stop.

"I'll go ahead and have a look first." Li Ke stepped out of the elevator door ahead of the others this time.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.As soon as Li Ke stepped out of the elevator with his front foot, the back foot of the elevator door quickly closed, without giving anyone else a chance to react.

Although Li Ke didn't know how he obtained his authority, this did not prevent him from using the authority system here to act alone without other people.

The authority of the research institute is divided into six levels, from the director, department heads, ordinary researchers, civilians, visitors to the lowest level of experimental subjects. The lowest [core level] can only be entered with level six authority.

Because Li Ke's pass was used to open the elevator before, the [Core Layer] button will appear on the control panel.But Grani only has "visitor-level" authority. If someone guides her, she can only enter the [Hub Floor] on the third floor at most. After she presses the button on the [Core Floor], there will naturally be an alarm.

And when the system detects that Li Ke has left the elevator, it will naturally re-seal the elevator door.

Looking at the smooth walls of the elevator shaft, Li Ke's face was neither happy nor sad, and he couldn't see any expression.

After a long time, he turned around and sighed.

"Then... let me see what secrets are hidden here..."

-------------------------------------

"what happened?!"

The moment Li Ke walked out of the elevator door, Grani noticed the strangeness of the elevator door.It's just that her reaction was still a little slow. The point of the spear that was stabbed hit the inner wall of the elevator, making a "ding" sound, and was bounced back.

"The button is gone." At this time, Skadi also said in a timely manner.

Grani turned around abruptly, and found that just as Skadi said, there were really two missing buttons on the control panel. The original [core layer] and [experimental layer] disappeared, leaving only the [hub layer] ], [living area] and [reception area] three.

"Is this a trap? Not good! He might be in danger!" Looking at the changes on the control panel, Grani froze for a moment, then said with some concern.

Even at this time, Grani did not doubt Li Ke's actions, but was genuinely worried about his safety.

"Trap? I think that Sakota man did it on purpose!" Ke Luoer finally couldn't hold back, and interjected, "Trap us here on purpose, and then go to the core layer alone, there must be some ulterior purpose .”

She finally found a suitable place to expose Li Ke's true face in front of others.If there is no showdown at this time, there will be no chance later.

"Huh? Carol, what are you talking about?" Grani frowned and said.

"Don't any of you think that guy is weird? Why does he have this place... that, authority, authority?" Ke Luoer said a little excitedly, "When he was at the front desk just now, he was operating there alone Yes! He must have done something at that time."

"Korol, calm down a little bit." Grani stepped forward and held her slightly trembling hands, "I'm sorry, although I don't know what misunderstanding happened between the two of you, but I believe, Li Ke is a good man."

"Otherwise, there's no need for him to come down with us... He has authority that we don't have. He can wait until the time comes and come quietly by himself."

"But……"
