Eighth Crown

Inside of SE.RA.PH.

After the entire SE.RA.PH was turned over, Liu Xia and the four suddenly fell from mid-air. After dropping a distance of dozens of meters, they landed here.

Fujimaru Rika was held by Liu Xia, Meltrilith and Nero also adjusted their landing postures, and soon landed safely, and the Servants fell from this height without being damaged.

"Thank you, Lucia-chan."

After getting down from Liu Xia's arms, Fujimaru Rika was relieved, and after thanking Liu Xia, he looked at the surrounding environment.

She has experienced the last resort in such a crisis situation in the past, and she is not shy about it.

The environment on the inside of the entire SE.RA.PH is almost carved out of the same mold as the surface. Whether it is the wall or the ground, it is still a transparent and hard material, and it is also a labyrinth-like structure.

It's just that the outside of SE.RA.PH is no longer the endless depths of the ocean, but the Eastern and Western buildings that came from nowhere. It is constructed from scenes such as classical lofts in the East and modern amusement parks in the West. It looks quite violation.

I don't know what kind of principle constitutes such a landscape, but it has nothing to do with Liuxia and the others, and they are not here for sightseeing.

"This is the inside... If this is the back of the flank, then the road to the back should be this way."

While thinking about it, Fujimaru Rika identified the road and direction.

According to Meltrilith, the front side and the back side correspond to each other in position, road, direction, etc., all of which are mirror-symmetrical. In other words, when the front side road is known, they It is completely possible to infer the general direction of the road on the inside.

"Lilith, how many areas are there on the inside?"

Fujimaru Rika didn't act immediately, but asked Meltrilith a question.

"The area on the inside?"

Meltrilith pondered when she heard the words, the momentary unwilling look on her face had long since been put away, and she became as calm as ever.

"I don't know much about the inside, but as far as I know, there should be at least three areas of the back, buttocks, and calves..."

The outer and inner sides correspond in position, and they should be complementary in area. After all, they are standing inside the female body. The outer and inner sides are only two different sides at most. In fact, there should be The number of organs and limbs are the same no matter which aspect they are viewed from. After all, they are essentially just one person.

It is impossible to say that there are two arms on the front side and two arms on the inside side, so that adds up to four arms, which does not match the shape of this SE.RA.PH.

However, Meltrilith actually left half of what she said just now. In fact, she basically knew how many areas there were on the inside, but she didn't tell Fujimaru Rika directly.

The subjectivity of "not much" is not a lie either.

On the surface, the area on the inside only has three areas: the back, buttocks, and calves, but in fact, there are several areas hidden, which will not be revealed until the first three areas are fully explored.

Exactly why there is such a troublesome mechanism, then perhaps it can only be said that BB's bad taste.

"Is that so... If that's the case, no matter what, the first priority is to save people."

Fujimaru Rika made a decision after thinking, "Go to the back area first, from the back to the chest on the front side, rescue the employees trapped in the control room first, and then explore the location of the celestial body room."

It really seemed like something she would say with her personality.

Everyone had no opinion, either agreed, or nodded indifferently.

After making the decision, several people followed the identified road and walked upwards, intending to enter the back area from the back of the neck.

Just as the road to the chest only has a fork in the neck, the road to the back only has a fork in the back of the neck.

After going up along the flank, several people quickly came to the back of the neck.

However, unlike the imagined four forks, there are actually only three forks leading to the left arm, right arm, and back. The last fork leading to the head is not a passage, but a main gate, in other words That is the entrance and exit of the maze.

"Didn't you say that the main entrance of the base is on the top of the head?"

At the back of his neck, Fujimaru Rika looked at the entrance and exit in front of him, and couldn't help showing a puzzled look, "Why is there another main entrance here?"

Factories and bases under fully-enclosed management rarely have multiple front gates. Taking Chaldea as an example, there is basically only one front gate, the one opened by Fuuma Kotaro on the day Liuxia arrived.

Setting up multiple front gates in this kind of place will only increase the mobility of employees, which is inconvenient for management and has no advantages.

"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"

Meltrilith heard the words and said noncommittally: "The main entrance on the front side is for ordinary employees to enter and exit, that is, the entrance and exit for those employees who are related to the exploitation of oil fields."

"And the main gate here is for privileged employees, such as the messengers of Chaldea, or the special front gate used by magicians, that is to say, this is the main gate treated with magic."

Meltrilith chuckled, "This SE.RA.PH is a dual structure. On the surface, it is a marine base for oil exploration, but in essence it is a workshop where magicians gather. Didn't I tell you?"

"No, not at all!"

Fujimaru Rika waved her hand vigorously, but then she suddenly woke up, "But it's right to say that, after all, it is one of Chaldea's subordinate organizations, if it is not related to magic, it is unlikely... But saying that, Maybe the astronomical room used to conduct experiments related to magic?"

They had also asked Marble about the celestial chamber, but Marble replied that they did not know of the existence of the celestial chamber.

Considering that Marble is only an ordinary employee, the body room is probably not something that ordinary employees can know, and most of them are places that only magicians are qualified to step into.

In fact, her reverse reasoning is indeed very correct. The celestial body room is conducting experiments on magic, but because it is too involved, neither Lucia nor Meltrilith have been silent on this matter until now. talk.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the experiment was not only carried out in the past, but even now.

"Okay, the main entrance is none of our business. Let's go in through the fork in the road."

Meltrilith obviously didn't want to continue the discussion on this issue, so she quickly changed the subject, greeted Tatsuka Fujimaru, and walked towards the downward fork in the road.

That's where the access to the back area is.
