It was discovered, and it seemed that it had been discovered a long time ago.
Lu Xin and Xia Chong couldn't help but fall into a slight embarrassment.
Obviously Xia Chong could open the door next to him and leave by raising his hand, but when he saw the way Hell Designer looked at the two of them politely, he felt that if he escaped at this time, he would look very shameless...
After a slight hesitation, he made a decision.
Pretending to be calm, he nodded to the other party and walked forward instead.
One is because, after being discovered, what's the use of escaping?
On the other hand, Mom said that there is something he is looking for here, but he hasn't seen what it is yet...
Having made this decision, Lu Xin was in front, Xia Chong was behind, and they slowly walked behind the glass wall.
As they walked into this spacious control room surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass walls, their field of vision suddenly broadened.
Their eyes curiously swept over the people in the control room, and then subconsciously looked outside the glass wall.
With just such a glance, Xia Chong's face tightened instantly.
Even Lu Xin immediately looked around and was completely attracted by it.
It wasn't until they entered the control room that they saw the original surroundings clearly.
Where they are is a protruding platform.
The front and left and right sides of the platform are all transparent glass walls.
Outside, there is a huge pit with no end at all.
Inside the pit is a tree.
Or to be more precise, it is a Mechanical Tree that is assembled from countless precision machine parts.
Around Mechanical Tree, there were countless pale human bodies kneeling in circles.
Lu Xin You read that right, that is the human body.
They were old and weak, male and female, and they had no clothes on.
Circles and circles, spread out, kneeling and sitting in front of the Mechanical Tree plant in the center of the pit.
If you look carefully, you will find that everyone has their heads lowered, as motionless as if they were asleep. Two tubes were connected to their bodies, one was inserted into the mouth, and the other was connected to the electronic helmet worn on their heads.
Looking down from the angle of the room they were in, it was impossible to see how many people there were.
It can only be said that the field of vision was instantly filled with pale human bodies.
What can be seen from the view from the control room is only a small part of the set.
"Hello, we finally meet."
When Lu Xin and Xia Chong's attention was instantly attracted to the scene outside the glass wall, someone smiled and spoke.
There are four people in this room enclosed by glass walls.
One of them is a man wearing white Zhongshan suit. He is sitting on the black sofa, looking elegant and charming.
A few others, wearing black cloaks, stood quietly in the corners of the room.
The man wearing white Zhongshan suit had a polite smile on his face and beautiful crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.
Xia Chong was still attracted by the terrifying "man pit" outside the glass wall, and almost didn't hear his words. Lu Xin was silent for a while, then turned slightly with his neck slightly stiff, and his eyes seemed to be slightly out of focus, and he looked at him steadily.
The man in white Zhongshan suit was also looking at Lu Xin, looking up and down very carefully.
It seems that he is judging whether Lu Xin is what he thinks.
After a while, he smiled slightly and spoke softly, "I have been paying attention to you since you came to Kindling City. I didn't expect to meet you just now. If possible, I would like to ask one thing, where are you from and what are you doing on Tinder?"
Although his mind was also occupied by the scene outside the glass wall, out of courtesy, Lu Xin still answered.
"Originally, it was just to get together with old friends."
"..."
"Huh?"
The other party seemed a little surprised, smiled and said:
"It's a normal thing to get together with old friends. Do you need to directly break into Huozhi's internal transportation network by force?"
"There is no need to arrange people in advance to pretend to be members of the sect and sneak into Kindling City to act as internal agents, right?"
Eyes on Lu Xin: "As for the envoy who killed a Black Box in a single meeting, and sent people to break into the military base of Huozhi to cause trouble and disperse our armed forces, let alone such trivial matters. Just saying that now, we can see each other in Kindling Building's most heavily guarded underground workshop, is enough to show that you are not just here to attend a party, right?"
"..."
Lu Xin felt slightly confused by what he said.
It seemed like the things he was talking about were familiar things that had happened not long ago.
But what was he doing by bringing this up?
It obviously has nothing to do with me...
"Friends, when smart people meet, it's better to be frank."
Hell Designer, smiled softly, waved his hand, and said, "Although it seems that you are hostile to Fire, Fire will not let people who see their secrets leave at will, but I think that even if we are opponents, we should give each other enough respect."
"Like, admitting who you are to each other and trying to communicate as much as possible?"
"..."
"Respect..."
I didn't understand anything else, but I did understand this sentence Lu Xin.
He frowned and said seriously, "To be honest, you Tinders really don't have much respect for me."
Hell Designer was obviously startled and asked, "Oh?"
Lu Xin frowned, looked at him, and said, "For a traveler who is on the road alone, he honestly abides by your rules and goes to the agent to pay the toll note. In the end, he asks for three... five thousand yuan. If he doesn't agree, his car will be detained directly. If he wants to go back on his word, your people don't agree. Can such rules and work style be called respect?"
"Huh?"
Hell Designer's expression was obviously a little confused, and he frowned. After thinking about it seriously, he was still a little confused.
"Are you metaphorizing something?"
He thought for a long time and then said with a little probing, "Lonely travelers, do you mean those souls?"
"If you want to regret it but don't agree, does that mean you can't go back from the ceremony?"
"..."
"Hmph!"
Lu Xin gave him a cold look and stopped talking to him in detail.
What he said was so clear, but he kept talking to me here and there, what the hell was he talking about?
The atmosphere between the two people dropped to freezing point, and it was obvious that they could no longer talk.
"What's that?"
At this moment, Xia Chong suddenly took a breath of cold air and turned around violently.
There was still no expression on her little face, but the faintly tense facial lines looked extremely serious:
"What are you doing?"
"What are the 100 million spiritual bodies I just heard you talk about?"
"What is the purpose of the hell you are building?"
"..."
She stared at Hell Designer: "Tell me all of this!"
Lu Xin glanced at her slightly and thought: Are you planning to implement Plan B directly?
When Hell Designer heard Xia Chong's question, he turned to look at her, frowned slightly, and then looked at Lu Xin:
"Who is this weapons rack?"
"..."
"Crack..."
Xia Chong gritted his teeth, showing that he wanted to eat people.
Lu Xin also quickly became serious, looked at Hell Designer coldly, and said, "Speak politely."
"Okay, okay..."
Hell Designer raised his hand and answered continuously. At the same time, he frowned slightly and glanced at Xia Chong up and down, as if he wanted to use the professional equipment on her body to judge which force she came from. After looking at it for a few times, he shook his head slightly and said:
"That's the factory of fire."
"Now that you are fully prepared and can even come in directly, you should understand what kind of company Huozhong is."
"..."
Neither Lu Xin nor Xia Chong answered.
The full name of Kindling Company is also a familiar name, called Seed Mining Company.
It is said that in the past, Huozhong controlled the most advanced mining equipment and technology. Nearly half of the resources from Alliance Twelve High Wall Cities in the north to Technological Church in the south, and even the surrounding human gathering points, come from fire. It is precisely because of this huge resource and the huge power that has snowballed through wealth that Huozhong has become what it is today in a short period of time.
"Tinder is a professional mining company."
The man in white Zhongshan suit chuckled, "They initially collected oil and minerals, but they had already begun research and experiments a long time ago. After mining Crimson Moon incident, it became the most valuable resource in the world."
"The human spirit."
As he said that, he turned slightly and looked outside the glass wall at the countless pale human bodies surrounding the mechanical tree. He sighed softly and said, "What you see is just one of several large-scale operation bases that Huozhong has built in recent years. If calculated in terms of magnitude, the spiritual power generated by each base every day is of considerable magnitude..."
"You..."
Listening to his calm and very rational voice, Xia Chong's teeth were faintly grinding.
"You actually regard people as resources?"
"..."
"People are resources, right?"
Hell Designer smiled and said, "In the past, Kindling Company treated people as employees, letting them sell their sweat and blood, and overdraw their lives. Now, Hell Designer treats them as resources, continuously producing spiritual power. In essence, isn't it the same thing?"
"In terms of efficiency, this is a more advanced design."
"Of course, I can understand your immediate anger, but there is no need to get angry at me."
"I'm just a designer, it's not my decision."
"..."
He told Lu Xin lightly and even with a proud tone about the human body and layout in the pit below, just like an engineer telling outsiders about the assembly line they were proud of. However, the two people listening to his explanation, Lu Xin and Xia Chong, gradually showed a strange expression. The muscles on their face tightened slightly, and their bodies experienced some unnatural ups and downs...
That's because some kind of tingling feeling is arising from the heart.
At this moment, Lu Xin finally understood what Mom had brought him here to see...
At this moment, he only had one feeling.
That is, fear!
Why have I been suffering from insomnia for a long time? Even taking melatonin doesn't help. I counted my hair this morning. Alas...
... it's still quite lush, hehe
