Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 2038 Groove
Corpses can provide a lot of information. Even without using necromancy, you can still find out a lot about the person as long as you observe carefully.

But I don't have the time now.

It was somewhat exciting to see a corpse with its head blown off as soon as you entered the door, but it also made everyone nervous, realizing that in this damn place, you not only have to pay attention to possible defense facilities, but also to the group of people who came in first.

After all, this style of painting doesn't look like that of a good person.

Leaving the corpse, continue forward, through the corridor where the defense facilities have been paralyzed, and come to a relatively spacious room.

This should be one of the halls of the church.

Above this dome hall is a ten-meter-high ceiling, supported at the edges by four titanium alloy pillars, giving it a hemispherical shape.

In the center of the room is a statue that is almost level with the dome. The statue is made of shiny silver metal. Portable scanners show that the material is a complex alloy, the main components of which are iron and silver, which is why it appears bright silver.

The image that this statue wants to present is very abstract. It can barely be recognized as a human figure, but it is made up of countless lines and is inlaid with huge decorative gears and hydraulic mechanisms all over the body. It is impossible to tell what it is trying to express.

This may be postmodern art.

However, the statue's movements can be seen, as if it is a giant holding up the ceiling.

There is a hole in the chest of the statue, big enough for a person to fit in. Among the messy lines that make up the statue, if you look carefully, you can find a handle left for easy climbing.

Therefore, it is difficult to understand the aesthetic taste of the Glowing Ion Yin Xiu Society. What is the meaning of placing such a statue in the hall?
Alyssa didn't look at the statue for long. She thought it was just the weird aesthetic of the Glowing Ion Yin Order. The others were the same. Compared to the statue, everyone was more concerned about the corridors on the left and right sides of the hall.

The footsteps that were heard before had disappeared at this time. No one knew which direction the group of people who came in first went. Everyone raised their weapons and pointed them at the corridor, worried that someone would suddenly jump out from there.

And Alde walked closer to the statue with her staff in hand, and asked Alyssa on the communication channel:
"Did you see any holy emblems or statues of worship to the Lord on your way here?"

"No, I haven't seen it at all."

After all, this fortress had lost contact before Li Chengxi appeared. We don’t know what kind of statues or holy emblems Li Chengxi used, so we definitely can’t place them randomly.

After getting the answer, Alday reached out and touched the part of the statue that looked like a toe.

The next moment, the statue made up of countless metal lines began to soften and deform rapidly, like a ball of molasses being heated.

In just a few seconds, the lines closed up, and the originally extremely abstract sculpture turned into a human form.

And that face looked familiar to Alyssa no matter how she looked at it.

"It is now a statue of your Majesty."

"Why the sudden change?"

"I guess the people of the Glowing Ion Hermitage have long worshipped this statue as an idol. It is a statue that represents too many beliefs. However, the people of the Glowing Ion Hermitage do not know what the Lord looks like, so the statue looks very abstract."

Alde pointed to her chest:

"I am a believer of the Lord, and I carry the holy emblem. My touch is equivalent to giving it the Lord's image, so it is fixed."

Alyssa still didn't quite understand theology, and didn't quite understand Aldea's explanation, but she didn't think it mattered.

The statue turned into a deity that looked like Li Chengxi, but the handle that was seen before for easy climbing up did not disappear, nor did the big hole on the chest of the statue.

This is a very clear clue.

After explaining, Olde climbed up the statue using her hands and feet and looked into the hole.

"There's a groove here, where something was supposed to be placed."

She climbed down again and gestured to Oldey about the size of a basketball:

“Maybe it’s some kind of mechanism, but the thing is gone.” When Alyssa heard that it was some kind of mechanism, she turned on the car-mounted scanner carried by Benben.

Higher powered scanners give more accurate results than portable scanners, but they are about the same.

If it was a mechanism, there would definitely be functional equipment and circuits inside the statue, but the scanner showed that it was just a pure metal statue.

Either the scanner wasn't powerful enough or the statue was too thick and interfered with the scan results.

Either...

The mechanism on this thing may not be explainable by current magical technology.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

It is impossible to confirm what was placed in the chest of the statue and when it was removed. In any case, there is nothing nearby that could be stuffed in.

So Alyssa just checked it out briefly, and then faced a very urgent problem.

There are two roads, which way should I go?

Following the people who came in first, although they might be discovered and a fight might break out, they are actually exploring the way ahead, and any defensive equipment will be dismantled by them.

If you don't follow them...

Alyssa and the others have nothing to do with the Glow Ion Order, and they will most likely be identified as invaders.

The problem now is that we don’t know which way the person who came in first took, but we can only choose one of the two roads.

Oldie used magic to try to track them, but the person who came in first was probably very good at hiding his actions, so even the tracking spell was ineffective, and there were no footprints or traces left on the ground.

Without any basis for judgment, Alyssa decided to just pick one at random...

So everyone stopped for a while and walked into the corridor on the right side of the hall.

This corridor has a certain slope, as if it is going upwards, and there are several turns of about thirty degrees in front of the corridor.

In terms of physical sensation, it feels like walking up a spiral staircase, but the slope is not high and the corridor is relatively long, so the feeling is not very clear.

On both sides of the corridor, you can see some decorative things, such as glowing Nixie tubes, paintings etched on metal plates, and gears rolling on the walls that have no actual function but are just for decoration.

It fits Alyssa's stereotype of the Glow Ion Yin Order.

The corridor was relatively long, but it was nothing compared to the distance Alyssa and the others had walked during this period.

About ten minutes later, everyone reached the end of the corridor, and a door lying on the ground attracted everyone's attention.

Perhaps everyone chose a path at random and successfully followed the person who came in first. The door that fell to the ground was a sign of forced destruction by the person who came in first.

When she was about five or six meters away, a beeping alarm suddenly came from the speaker on Alyssa's body.

She reacted immediately:
"Close your mask, there are toxins in the air here!"

Everyone immediately held their breath and closed their masks to start the oxygen supply.

The body condition detection system of the protective suit showed that everyone had just inhaled harmful substances, but the amount had not yet reached a level that would affect their health.

Fortunately, Alyssa kept the detection rod in her hand all the time. If it was a little later, it would be too late to close the mask.
