A hatch was also present on the other side of the corridor where Land 13 was hit.
The format is exactly the same as the other one.
"Is the interior of the room ......?"
The fluoroscope showed that this room was similar to the other one.
There is no golem inside, and the size is about the same.
"Well, let's open it up."
The size of the hatch is the same and the way to open it is the same.
The air and pressure inside the room were normal, and Rand 13 stepped into the room.
"Here too ...... is probably a control panel over there."
A rectangular slit in the wall at the back of the room.
A control panel that rotates and appears when one end of it is pressed.
"...... But we can't carelessly operate it while we don't know ...... what it operates."
After confirming this, Rand 13 left the room.
Then he thinks.
"......I don't see any way to get to the room where Lands 11 and 12 are supposed to be."
This hierarchy consists of the room to which Land 13 was transferred and a corridor. This hierarchy seems to be closed by the room to which Rand 13 was transferred and the rooms at both ends of the hierarchy.
"So, this hierarchy itself is a trap ......?"
After thinking about it, I came up with such a possibility.
A hierarchy of cul-de-sacs.
The destination of the transition at a time not wanted by <> would be in this hierarchy.
"Let's check up and down with the <>."
With no one in the way, Rand 13 was able to take his time in his investigation.
The < is like an insubstantial endoscope, the length of which can be changed at will.
< is in a solid, almost nothing can be seen.
If it is in a transparent or nearly transparent liquid, gas, or vacuum, you can see what is beyond it.
Of course, it is a prerequisite that there is <>.
In case of total darkness, there is an <>, but visibility and resolution will be reduced.
The results of the <> showed that there was only a thick bedrock below the level where Land 13 was, and further down was <.
"This is ......!"
Land 13 knew that he was at least above the stratosphere.
"Well, I guess we are in a satellite orbit after all.
However, he guessed that the old man had probably already found out where he was, so he concentrated on what he had to do now.
<, he found that the upper level was the one where the room with Lands 11 and 12 was located, i.e., the level he should aim for.
"We can go there by short distance transfer, but we have to be careful because it seems to be monitored by over there."
The question then arises as to whether there really is no one monitoring this level of the hierarchy.
