Chapter 434: Save some face outside
When the cabin slowly entered the huge facility deep in the trench through the conveyor belt, Li Muhan suddenly felt a pain in his head.
He covered his forehead and shook his head.
Mo Qiao was a little confused after seeing his reaction.
"Why, with your physical condition, would you still feel uncomfortable with the water pressure?"
Li Muhan tried hard to dispel the uncomfortable feeling in his mind, and then forced a smile.
"I don't know... maybe it's due to the unfamiliar climate."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. This facility has an automatic pressure adjustment function. The entire transportation process just now was also adaptively adjusted. Even someone with poor health will not feel uncomfortable."
After saying that, Mo Qiao slowly walked out of the elevator car.
Li Muhan also felt strange. He tried to find the source of the headache, but found that the feeling had completely disappeared.
Looking up, Mo Qiao had already reached the end of the connecting corridor.
He also quickly walked out of the elevator car.
Just as he left the elevator, the woman's voice suddenly came into his mind again.
[Last question, Mr. Li Muhan, do you still consider yourself human?]
Li Muhan was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Mo Qiao in front of him was already urging him.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up."
"Okay...coming."
Li Muhan shook his head again.
Because he felt that the voice just now did not come from the elevator car, but appeared directly in his mind.
After Li Muhan walked out of the elevator, the green indicator light of the surveillance camera inside the elevator instantly turned red.
After a series of tests, Li Muhan and Mo Qiao crossed the corridor connecting the elevator car. When the door was opened, Li Muhan was shocked again.
Behind the door, a breathtaking world appeared before his eyes.
This research facility resembles a miniature city, spanning several floors.
Under the huge dome, intricate corridors and platforms are intertwined to form a three-dimensional maze.
Every corridor is brightly lit, and busy staff members are moving around in it. They are wearing uniform lab coats, their faces filled with concentration and enthusiasm.
In the laboratory, there are a wide variety of sophisticated instruments and equipment, emitting soft blue light, reflecting the busy figures of scientists.
All areas of research are covered here: from biological sciences to astrophysics, from quantum computing to nanotechnology, every room is a treasure trove of knowledge.
A huge display screen updates data and research results in real time, while robotic assistants silently assist staff by moving materials or performing precise tasks.
In this vast research facility, all exploration and discovery, no matter how profound and complex, ultimately leads to a common focus - the institute itself.
It has a name that symbolizes wisdom and enlightenment: Prometheus.
This name carries mankind's yearning for the unknown world, just like the god of fire in mythology who gave the fire of human civilization.
"Welcome, Minister Mo, Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."
A clear girl's voice echoed in the air, bringing Li Muhan's thoughts back to reality.
He turned and saw a young woman in a research institute uniform, holding a laptop computer flashing with data, her eyes bright and focused.
He turned around and saw a girl in researcher's clothes standing in front of them holding a laptop.
"Since your last visit..."
"No need to repeat yourself. Let's go directly to the headquarters of the Huaxia Special Management Bureau."
Mo Qiao waved her hand gently, indicating that she should get straight to the point.
"I understand. Please follow me."
The girl smiled slightly, and although her smile was professional, it revealed sincere enthusiasm.
She led the two through the maze-like research facility, passing busy workstations and quiet laboratories along the way, each step accompanied by the whisper of technology and the breath of knowledge.
Finally, they stopped in front of a majestic hatch.
The moment the hatch opened, Li Muhan thought he would see a new world.
but......
But surprisingly ordinary?
Ordinary laboratory, ordinary cafeteria, ordinary entertainment hall.
There are also regular dormitory rooms.
It seems... nothing special?
"What are you expecting?" Mo Qiao gave Li Muhan a blank look, then walked in.
Li Muhan thought about it and realized that this was the right thing to do. He came here to do academic research, not to play Minecraft.
The things here can be said to meet all daily needs without being distracting. It is really a favorite of science and engineering students.
Just as Li Muhan was about to enter, a familiar fragrance suddenly came from behind him.
That is the faint fragrance that I smell every night before falling asleep.
So Li Muhan knew who was behind him.
Without hesitation, he turned around and hugged Xia Yue who was trying to launch a sneak attack.
“Ugh!”
In the end, it was Xia Yue who was frightened. She was picked up by Li Muhan and carried on his shoulders, and she was a little at a loss.
"Still want to sneak attack me? Do you think you're the only one who can smell?"
"...Put me down."
"That won't do. You've been successful in sneak attacks every time. I finally managed to counterattack once. You better be mentally prepared."
Just when Li Muhan was about to do something, suddenly several cold lights flashed, and in a blink of an eye, four sharp blades were placed on Li Muhan's neck.
"Please let go of Lady Shallia."
The nun said coldly.
Li Muhan glanced at them and found that they were nuns from the Blood Moon Church.
He really had no good feelings towards these ancient gods of the Blood Moon Church.
Not to mention how much trouble Nyarlathotep caused him during the Thousand Moon incident, the ancient gods themselves have a very bad reputation.
"return."
Just when Li Muhan was about to speak, the blindfolded nun paced over and sternly ordered those nuns to leave.
Without any hesitation, the nuns immediately moved the blades in their hands away from Li Muhan's neck.
And the moment they moved the blades away, Li Muhan suddenly discovered that those knives were not held in their hands, but grew directly out of their hands.
Wow, it’s worthy of being a K-series character, it’s really abstract.
Although several nuns put away their knives, they did not leave Li Muhan's side.
At this time, Xia Yue gently patted Li Muhan on the back.
"First, put me down first..."
After Li Muhan slowly put Xia Yue down, the girl first tidied up her messy hair and clothes, then looked at Li Muhan and suddenly put her hands on her hips and straightened her body with a smug look on her face.
"Hehe... Now I am the distinguished ambassador of the Blood Moon Church, Li Muhan, why don't you just call me sister..."
Before Xia Yue finished speaking, she saw Li Muha raising his hand to hit her head, and she shrank back in fear.
"Mr. Li Muhan."
The blindfolded nun smiled and said to Li Muhan at this time.
"Although I know you have a close relationship with Lady Xia Liya, please observe proper etiquette. This is also a sign of respect for our Blood Moon Church."
Her words were actually quite polite.
After all, it is an institution representing a country, and Xia Yue is their representative this time.
And now that the Prometheus staff member is also present, it is really inappropriate to flirt like this.
"Okay, I understand. I'll pay attention."
Li Muhan nodded to the blindfolded nun.
Xia Yue tugged at Li Muhan's clothes in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing...you are so obedient to other women."
"Hey, isn't this to maintain your dignity as the 'representative'? Do you really want me to spank you in front of them?"
“…”
Xia Yue quickly let go of her hand, then walked back to the blindfolded nun and looked at Li Muhan angrily.
"Lady Xia Liya, we have greeted you. Can we return to our base now?"
The blindfolded nun spoke humbly to Xia Yue.
"Can't I...come in and sit for a while? Just for a moment."
"I'm very sorry, Lady Shallia, but without the permission of the other Special Management Bureau, you cannot enter the headquarters of other Special Management Bureaus in Prometheus."
Mo Qiao had already entered the cabin by now, and no one knew what she was busy with. Li Muhan didn't want to make things difficult for these people, so he said to Xia Yue with a smile.
"You go back first. I'll come find you when I'm not busy."
".......Really?"
Xia Yue looked at Li Muhan, her eyes still filled with reluctance.
"I promise."
"All right......"
Xia Yue waved to Li Muhan and left surrounded by several nuns.
Just when Li Muhan wanted to explain to the researcher, he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye that the nearby Special Management Bureau members were all accompanied by a researcher.
That's not the point.
The point is that these researchers look exactly like the person in front of him.
