Players Invade Cyberpunk-Chapter 699 - 223: I Want to Buy Taiping Continent!
When killing someone, you need momentum; but in life, you should stay low-key.
The sultry woman doesn't really know where she heard this phrase from, but she thought it made a lot of sense. Therefore, every time she made a move, she wished everyone could hear her voice.
However, she felt that she had been too low-key lately, spending every day stuck in the sewers looking for some stupid secret dungeon, it was practically like working on her own dime.
She sniffed the smell on her clothes; the damp stench of the sewers was almost marinated in, her face full of disgust.
"Seriously, what a damn mess, I don't get why the hell I've been in this damn place for so long, if I knew I wouldn't have chosen this damn profession, it's torture."
"Can you stop saying damn all the time? Be more civilized, okay?"
The parents' Exchange Coupon, who had also been following the sultry woman through the sewers for quite some time, was tired of hearing her say damn constantly, feeling like their ears were about to grow soot.
"What can I do? Our Jinling is like this, a place of outstanding people, damn as hell."
The sultry woman shook her head with a flying knife in her hand, not taking the Exchange Coupon's words to heart at all.
"Ahead should be the last suspicious location, and also the most likely spot. If we can't find the dungeon entrance here, then I really have no damn clue."
"Explain further."
Exchange Coupon didn't really doubt the sultry woman; they were just simply curious.
"To prevent long-term gas accumulation in the sewers from causing explosions, ventilations systems are essential. Whether it's American sewers or Tokyo University sewers, you can see lots of exhaust fans, with some large ventilation fans as tall as a building. But the ventilation duct I discovered isn't just absurdly large, the wind coming out is also particularly hot. The issue is that such a large exhaust fan is unnecessary nearby, plus the power supply in that area is unstable, and logically it couldn't support a fan of this power."
Elsewhere, whatever, Taiping Continent's power system is notoriously bad, can't even guarantee daily electricity for half its residents, let alone underground.
So the sultry woman was sure there was definitely something wrong with it.
The exhaust fan's location was under an overpass in Taiping Continent; the front door to the maintenance room was sealed with cement, but the sultry woman found a side door entrance in the sewer.
Behind the door was a narrow flight of plain concrete stairs, completely dark, clearly untouched for many years. Both the walls and the iron frame beside had a thick layer of dust, and the hot and damp air blowing in people's faces was unbearable.
Exchange Coupon handed the sultry woman a bat-shaped respirator.
The sultry woman took it and gave Exchange Coupon a look with a strange expression that made them quite uncomfortable, touching her own bat ears.
"What? COS should be a bit professional, you're using a flying knife, aren't you?"
"At least my outfit isn't so flashy."
"What do you know, this is called style!"
"You're the one who doesn't know anything. My COS is about the inside, while yours is just skin-deep. Do you have money? Do you have money?"
"How dare a poor ghost like you COS Bruce Wayne?"
As she said this, the sultry woman ran her hand through her golden hair, looking arrogant.
"See? Same style, all-natural, Noloy Noloy, my ancestors had a genuine London accent."
"..."
Exchange Coupon moved their mouth and finally blurted out
"Damn!"
Following the stairs down, they quickly saw the large fan embedded in the ground through a window.
The sewer ventilation system was somewhat like a lightwell, using fans to disperse accumulated sewer gas through manholes, grates, or drain outlets.
Below the dark, deep lightwell, several large diagonal exhaust pipes were arranged at the bottom.
The exhaust fans the sultry woman found were exceptionally large, with an opening over two meters wide, and there was an unknown source of red ambient light at the bottom, shimmering erratically with the rotation of the blades, looking terribly frightening.
The two of them peeked in from the edge, and beyond the fan blades was a winding passage, leading to an unknown destination.
The sultry woman was a bit apprehensive.
"What do you think, should we go in and take a look?"
She mainly worried that if this was indeed the entrance to Dog Town or some other dungeon, rushing in could end up destroying a perfectly good large dungeon like last time with the Truth Department.
Exchange Coupon took a couple of glances.
"I'll go down first and have a look, you keep watch here; I'll notify you right away if there's anything unusual."
Sultry Woman: "Remember not to trigger a fight; just confirm if we're in the right place, nothing else."
"Got it."
Exchange Coupon quickly found the fan's junction box in the nearby maintenance room. After a short circuit, the previously ceaselessly rotating fan gradually came to a stop.
The sultry woman also used a high-frequency wave dagger she had bought to cut open the fan's mesh, leaving an opening for someone to pass through.
Since they didn't know if anyone was inside, both of them moved quietly, fearing any noise might alert potential wild monsters inside.
Luckily, Exchange Coupon hadn't gone full COS; if they had continued to wear a cape, getting caught in these nooks and crannies of steel wires would have been troublesome enough.
However, the situation behind the ventilation duct was quite unexpected; white steam constantly sprayed out from the side gates, forcing Exchange Coupon to avoid the high-temperature steam to prevent burns.
Steam...…
Sewer ventilation shouldn't have this stuff.
This finding further confirmed to him that he'd likely found a special location. Even if it wasn't the entrance to Dog Town, it should be some company's secret lab or something like that.
Turning a corner, the surrounding lighting suddenly dimmed, shifting from red to green, as if entering another world, with the passage gradually narrowing.
