Chapter 2039 Showroom

They were almost poisoned as soon as they got close, which made everyone feel scared. However, there was no need to be afraid as long as they put on the mask. They just needed to leave the area before the oxygen ran out.

The crowd continued to move forward and soon arrived at the door.

The first thing you see is the door panel slapped on the ground. It was kicked open from the inside by someone who was extremely strong. Like many things in this electronic music cathedral, the door panel, which was made of titanium alloy, was kicked open and bent. You don't even need to look closely to make out the traces of a foot on it.

The room behind the door was filled with a yellowish smoke.

Once the concentration of the smoke drops, it will become colorless and transparent. The air quality detector shows that it is some kind of sulfide. The specific composition needs to be sampled and sent to the laboratory on the Swan for testing. All Alyssa and the others need to know is that this thing must not be inhaled.

Due to the obstruction of the smoke, no one could see the specific situation in the room. Through the protective clothing, they could hear a buzzing sound, as if a fan was blowing poisonous smoke in.

Alyssa guessed that perhaps the group of people who came in earlier entered the room and activated some kind of mechanism, causing the room to be blocked and filled with poisonous smoke.

Airborne toxins may sound high-end, but they are not very lethal.

Because there is a measurement issue here.

When the inhaled poison gas has not yet reached a lethal dose, the victim will feel uncomfortable and move away from the poison gas, which is often not enough to be fatal.

This is why, although the poison gas used in World War I was terrible, the actual death toll was far less than the number of people killed by artillery shells.

But if it is a poison that takes effect orally, by the time you realize you are poisoned it is already too late because the dose has reached a lethal level.

Therefore, when using poisonous smoke as a means of defense, it is necessary to restrict the actions of the invaders.

The door was forced open because of this. The people locked in the room knew that the yellow-green smoke was poisonous as soon as they saw it, and they ran out through the entrance.

But if you think about it this way, Alyssa and the others didn't meet anyone on the way here.

If the guess is true, then the people who came in first turned around and walked back through another passage after being frustrated here, and then Alyssa and the others came in, so they didn't run into each other.

But this contradicts the footsteps that Alyssa and the others heard when they came in.

I can't quite figure out what's going on.

By the way, Sista also followed everyone into the room, but there is no need to worry about it, as Sista is immune to poison.

As soon as you turn your head, you can see it puffing out smoke, it's really top-notch.

The poisonous smoke was still blowing in the room. While Alyssa was thinking about this, Alday was not idle either.

She took a look at the situation in the room and then shook her staff.

Suddenly, an unnatural strong wind blew into the room, and the airflow seemed to consciously push the smoke to the wall.

Only then did everyone see that there were many display cabinets in this room, which was approximately 100 square meters and was a small exhibition hall.

The fading of the smoke revealed a body lying on the ground, probably because the person did not have time to escape.

There were four bodies, similar to the one seen before, with their heads all blown off. This confirmed that the other party was definitely a secret organization or cultist.

The conditions of the corpses were much the same, with no information to indicate their identities, except that their races were slightly different, including humans, halflings, and dwarves.

And to be honest, the things in these display cabinets are of little value in Alyssa's opinion.

Some looked like implants, some were integrated parts of some kind of machinery, and some were half-melted metal.

It might have special commemorative significance to the people of the Glowing Ion Yin Order, but worthless things are useless to Alyssa. After a quick look, everyone found that the glass of one of the display cabinets had been opened, and the things inside had disappeared. They must have been taken away.

Perhaps this is why the gas defense was activated.

There is no label on the display case. After all, this is not a museum. It is likely that only people from inside the church are allowed to enter.

Alyssa reached out and closed the open display case. With a sharp sound, the sound of the fan began to decrease, and the yellow-green smoke that was blown out began to dissipate, and was finally completely blown away by Aldea's magic.

However, we still cannot open the mask now. There are still toxins in the air, but the concentration has been reduced.

The poisonous smoke no longer continued to pour into the room, but the advantage was that the field of vision became much wider.

Everyone immediately noticed that there was something that looked like an altar right in front of all the display cabinets.

That thing was also made of metal and had been polished, revealing metal patterns similar to those of a Damascene sword.

There is a brass metal sphere on the altar. If you look closely, you will find that this metal sphere is made of very thin layers of brass stacked together, and there are many complex patterns in the hollowed-out areas on it.

The sphere is mounted on an octagonal black base. On both sides of the base, one can see a row of glow tubes emitting orange light, about the length of an index finger.

Orday immediately cast detection magic on the thing, and a glow immediately appeared on the brass sphere, indicating that the thing was enchanted.

"There's an alchemical core in there."

Li Chengxi said through the headset:

"I don't know why the people from the Glowing Ion Yin Society put the core in a brass sphere, but it is indeed an alchemical core, so it has a magical aura. I didn't find any traces of curses or mechanisms on it."

The alchemical core is usually used to power golems, but this thing is essentially a small engine that can be used for golems or other magical machines.

When Aurday heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she took two quick steps forward.

The brass sphere was about the size of a basketball and was quite heavy. Oldie couldn't lift it, but she could lift a corner of it.

She looked at the base:

"The base is shaped like the groove in the hollow chest of the previous statue."

This means that it was probably originally inserted into the statue's chest.

Considering that it might be a mechanism to open something and might be useful, Alyssa asked someone to help move the sphere off the altar and put it into the magic bag that Alde was carrying.

As soon as they finished doing this, Li Chengxi said:

"I just looked at the corridor outside the room and found a secret passage."

This exhibition hall has only one entrance and exit, and is not connected to other places. Alyssa originally planned to return the same way, but when she heard this, she immediately asked:

"where?"

"It's just a short distance from the gate, but I don't know how to open it."

After making sure that everything was packed up, everyone came out of the house and returned to the corridor.

When Sista, who was the last to come, climbed out of the room, everyone saw that the wall on the right side of the corridor they came from suddenly opened up, like a gate at a railway branch, blocking the way they came from and revealing a square entrance on the wall that was originally tightly closed.
