Because the floor area of this room is not large compared to the floor below, and it has an idea of the location of the channel, the imager can easily find the location where the channel is buried.

"Knock knock."

The Misty Believer reached out the back of his hand and tapped on the wall in front of him.

This location is directly behind Kotojuro's desk.

According to the imager, the entrance to the underground passage is behind this wall.

"I suppose that now that we don't need to find any more switches to open the door of this passage, do we?" Ming Candle Companion Xue glanced at the ordinary wall with wallpaper and said.

"It doesn't make sense." The Misty Believer shook his head, "Even if you look for it, it's useless, because of the opening and closing of the door of this passage, I don't think it's in this room." ”

"Not in this room?" Qiu Shuangyue frowned and asked, "Then how do the people in this room get in?" ”

"That's a good question." The Misty Believer slapped twice.

"Because this passage was not built for the people in the room." The Misty Believer laughed, "Its purpose is to bring the people inside into this room, so it's impossible to leave a switch in this room that can be turned on from the outside." ”

"You mean to say—" Autumn Frost Moon seemed to understand something.

"That's right, maybe until Kotojuro died, he didn't know that there was such a passage to the underground space." The Misty Believer spread his hands.

"Still." The Misty Believer said, turning to look at Kotojuro, who was still hanging in the air, and sighed, "Before we break this wall, let's take his corpse—"

"Buzz ......"

Before the Misty Believer could finish speaking, a ripple that shook the entire space suddenly invaded, causing a tingling pain in the hair of the three of them.

This is a bad omen for reality distortion.

It also means that their time is running out.

"I think." The Misty Believer took a deep breath and regulated his breathing, "We're going to hurry." ”

……

No one knows what the Misty Believer and the Bright Candle Snow carry out with them on weekdays.

Imager, False Finger, RPG ...... And now it's a patch bomb again.

"Whew."

Looking at the pile of rubble and dust in front of him, the Misty Believer wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.

"This bomb is specifically designed to blow up walls." He looked at the things hidden behind the wall in front of him, and unconsciously showed a smile, "I was just thinking that I was afraid of hurting the things behind the wall, but I really didn't expect that the passage hidden behind this wall was actually ......"

It was an elevator.

The glowing green glow of the display seemed to show off its body that was still usable.

"If it's an elevator, it means that people living in this underground space need to use the elevator to move." The Misty Believer shook his head, "I thought we were going to go down through the sling, but that would be a little easier." ”

"Sling...... Hey, hey, what the hell are you thinking? "Autumn Frost Moon is a little embarrassed.

"What do you use without a sling?" The Misty Believer was puzzled by Autumn Frost Moon's reaction, "Could it be that you plan to jump directly from this height?" ”

"However, if the person below is the one who needs to use the elevator, it proves two things." The bright candle on the side pinched his chin and reasoned.

"Two things...... What are two things you're trying to talk about? The Misty Believer looked at the candle with the snow.

"First, since this passage uses an elevator, it means that the purpose of this passage is more inclined to be from bottom to top than from top to bottom."

As he spoke, Bright Candle and Snow raised a second finger.

"Second, because the erection of an elevator is definitely something that can be done secretly with the owner of this office and this building behind his back, this elevator must have been included in the planning when this building was built, but Kotojuro didn't know it at that time."

"Do you think so, I see." The Misty Believer nodded thoughtfully, and cast his gaze on the corpse of Kotojuro, whom they had just taken from the chandelier.

They didn't do anything about Kotojuro's body, nor did they look for traces of the murderer on him.

After all, their mission is to find the edge of the long night and Natsu powerless, not to be the detective of the murder of Kotojuro.

No one in this team has the surname Kudo, no one has the surname Edogawa, and no one has the surname Sherlock Holmes.

"So."

The Misty Believer looked away from Kotojuro's corpse and turned to the two beside him, "I'll add a little more. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and pointed to the elevator's display.

The numbers shown above are the numbers for this layer.

"What does this number represent?"

"It means it's still on our level." Qiu Shuangyue said directly.

However, as soon as the words came out, he regretted it.

That's right, the elevator is still parked on this level.

But why?

I'm afraid there is only one answer.

Kotojuro's body still has a temperature, and the scars don't look so old, and there is no smell on the body and the phenomenon that a corpse should have.

In other words, the person who came up on the elevator and killed Kotojuro has not yet returned.

Even that person is likely to remain in this room.

And as it turned out—the man was still in the room.

"Ding!"

The elevator beeped like a microwave oven.

Then, in full view of everyone, the numbers on the elevator display began to decline rapidly.

"Damn, that guy was in this elevator just now!"

The misty believer threw himself in front of the elevator and pressed the call button, but unfortunately the elevator was just a machine, not something so capricious as humans.

It will only act according to procedure and logic, and will not make the slightest change because of the words of others.

"Could that person be the one who moved Kotojuro's game pod away?" "No, before we talked about it, we didn't even know how many people were in that elevator just now. ”

They are still in a state of passivity across the board, but this has not changed.

"All of this is good, but the most important thing now is...... We only had the elevator as a means of transportation. Autumn Frost Moon sighed.

That's true.

He's even starting to regret climbing the stairs a little now.

Because if you take the elevator up, you might be able to catch up with the scene of Kotojuro's killing.

Maybe they're just a little bit short of time.

And this is called coincidence.

Although it is said that the ship of ten thousand years can be sailed carefully, if you don't dance with the stormy waves in some routes, you will be torn to pieces.
