"This is the … gravitational elevator, Qing Jin."
Lin's spy was now slowly making her way into a large … … square-shaped metal object.
They called it the gravitational elevator. It was said to be something similar to the gravitational control of the research station. It could reach the bottom of the void.
However, judging from its appearance, it was a metal cube with a length, width and height of 10 metres. There was a large window on the inside that allowed one to see what was happening outside. Lin was now inside the cube.
It would appear that they had decided to let the spy go down. They did not intend to delay any longer. Or perhaps, they could not delay any longer? Lin felt that both were possible.
As for the so-called leader that wanted to talk to Lin, he still hadn't appeared in front of Lin. It was as if he had never shown himself in the first place. It was just that the other Er She citizens had mentioned that such a person wanted to meet Lin, but no one mentioned it anymore.
Lin was accompanied by several fully armed Ershi Min, including the brightly dressed one from before. Of course, the brightly dressed one was no longer brightly dressed. Instead, it had changed into a combat suit and was carrying a weapon on its back.
According to them, they might encounter some dangers in the process of descending into the void. Thus, they needed to prepare armed forces.
In addition to the soldiers accompanying them, they also planned to dispatch three armed helicopters and two anti-gravity gunships to escort them.
"Alright, now that everyone is ready, let's begin!"
The brightly dressed Ershi Min appeared to be in charge of operating the elevator. Lin watched as it brought out a tablet and poked it a few times … … and the elevator began to shake slightly. Then, it slowly descended.
From the windows around the elevator, Lin could see the changes in the scenery outside. The elevator was now slowly descending from the bottom of the research station. It was descending into the void.
Lin originally thought that the elevator wasn't an elevator, and that they were trying to trick the spy into a sealed space to lock her up. However, it seemed that this wasn't the case. It really did look like an elevator, and they were willing to send Lin down.
However, there was no telling what would happen on the way down.
Lin watched as the … … armed helicopters flew about 100 metres away from the elevator. They accompanied the elevator as it slowly descended.
As for the anti-gravity gunships … … they appeared to be egg-shaped with a length of around 30 metres. Various weapons were mounted around them. It was said that those were new weapons with new technology. However, that was what Lin had seen in the information. They did not appear here. Perhaps, they were still preparing something.
Just like that, Lin looked at the scenery while waiting for the elevator to slowly descend …
Suddenly, Lin realized that this seemed to be … a very boring thing to do. Because the surroundings were very dark, she could barely see the cliff in the distance, and the elevator was descending at a very slow speed, about half a meter per second. She had no idea how long it would take to reach the bottom.
Moreover, Lin hadn't found any description of the depth of the void before, which was quite a strange feeling.
"How deep is this?" The spy asked the brightly colored Ershi Min in the corner of the elevator.
"Ah? Well … it will take about three hours to reach the bottom. "Yan Ershi Min replied," No … it might take longer … "
Lin knew that it was trying to muddle through the question. Obviously, it did not want to give an accurate answer, so Lin continued to ask, "Tell me the exact time."
"This … I'm not too sure, because I've never been down there before. But that's about the approximate time."
Although its emotions showed that it knew the exact time, it still wanted to fool around. To be precise, it was pretending to be ignorant so that Lin would give up on getting information from it.
Maybe it just didn't want Lin to ask it more questions, or maybe …
"Attention, we're going to speed up here!" Suddenly, a voice came from the elevator, and the elevator's speed increased from half a meter per second to 0.6 meters per second.
… This seemed to be meaningless.
And so, the elevator continued to descend at a very slow speed. Lin asked the brightly colored Ershi Min a bunch of questions that it did not want to answer, while looking at the scenery outside.
"Do you have a detailed account of your conversation with Ershi? What's your attitude towards Ershi? What's at the bottom of the void? I know you're trying to trick me, so don't try to trick me, tell me the truth. "
Lin asked a bunch of questions not because she wanted to know the answer, but because she wanted to see its reaction. Its reaction was very similar to what Lin expected, it kept stammering, not knowing how to answer. The Ershi Min around it all 'sympathized' with it, but none of them wanted to help it.
"We … we might encounter some danger soon, so we have to be on high alert. Can we talk later?" The brightly colored Ershi Min said when it did not know how to answer.
When Lin was about to ask 'what kind of danger', it suddenly shouted, "Be careful! Prepare to shoot! "
'Clang!' Almost at the same time, Lin heard a loud crash, and saw a sharp object, like … a stone, hit the glass.
It looked like an arrow made of stone, and it did not cause any damage to the elevator's window, but soon, more similar arrows were fired.
The stone arrows clanked as they hit the elevator's surroundings. The soldiers in the elevator calmly took out a phone and began to operate it.
As the soldiers operated the phone, Lin saw a lot of … weapons stretching out around the elevator.
These weapons were aimed at the direction where the arrows came from, and Lin soon found that the places where the arrows were shot … the originally dark places suddenly exploded.
The explosion was mixed with a large amount of dark red liquid, which looked like blood.
"What's that?" Lin asked the brightly colored Ershi Min.
"Just some local aborigines, you don't have to worry about them." It used the phone to operate the weapons around the elevator, and answered casually.
"Aborigines? Do you have information on them? "Lin continued to ask.
"Of course, I can show you when we're done." It did not seem like this was confidential information, and it answered quickly.
Lin also saw that the three armed helicopters outside were shooting at some dark, seemingly empty places. After about a second of shooting, something would explode at the place where the arrows were shot, and the thing that exploded seemed to be the thing that shot the stone arrows here.
After blowing up ten places, it seemed that everything was taken care of, and the helicopters returned to their original positions, and the weapons around the elevator retracted. The brightly colored Ershi Min gave Lin a document.
