Latent Syndrome

Chapter 418 417. Door of Truth

Cross the dead line and enter the corner of this passage.

It is a pure white door, so white that it is unreal. Even the paint on the door handle above looks like it has just been painted, it is too new to be true.

"This is the director's office."

Hazy said.

Colin was not surprised at all. After all, the director of the Countermeasures Bureau was the only person who could contact the high command. He was immediately looking forward to what he would see next. A guy with that strength and qualifications to formulate countermeasures for the welfare of the world. Who is it?

Is it the same thing as what Opal said, the same thing behind the scenes of SCT? The reason why Hazy is so resistant to letting himself see it.

But what will happen if we do meet?

Is there any way to communicate with that kind of thing? The symbolic world, even some kind of projection of the deep world, or something deeper, something that is one and the same with what is behind the scenes of SCT.

Is there another vicious fight?

And whether he will die.

Colin was not sure, and with a more tense mind than before when he was fighting with Hao, the dark color became more and more serious.

With the sound of the lock bolt snapping, Hagi opened the door to the Countermeasures Bureau Director's office.

Colin also followed.

To Colin's expectation, the space here is not large. It is a place similar to a mail room. The furnishings are also quite simple. There is only a row of file bag display racks, and then there is only a table and chairs, and an office computer without Internet access. .

Sitting on the chair was a middle-aged man wearing a white double-breasted coat and looking extremely dignified.

Just as Colin expected.

Subject to some strict regulations on the Countermeasures Bureau's philosophy, the Director of the Countermeasures Bureau is just an ordinary person.

"You're here again."

"It's really strange. Is the world going to be completely destroyed?"

"He even brought others with him."

As the middle-aged man said this, he adjusted the angle of the back of the writing chair and straightened his back to appear more formal.

"Yes."

"Mr. Director."

"Now we have to get through here and reach the elevator to the high command."

"Please approve it."

Although Long used honorifics, his tone did not seem to have any meaning of respect, which made Colin feel a little surprised.

What Colin never expected was that the director of the Countermeasures Bureau just nodded, held up his hand to let the two of them help themselves, and then readjusted the back of the chair to a comfortable angle.

To Colin's surprise, Long walked through the office and opened the door to the elevator, and Colin had to follow him up.

We arrived at a dark passage again, without any lighting at all. It wasn't until Hagi opened the switch that the ancient yellow light bulbs hanging from the base of the exposed pipe above his head lit up one by one.

And at the end of the passage.

What appeared in the field of vision was an extremely thick iron gate. It was completely different from other places under the Cheyenne Mountains. The rough and heavy shape, as well as the exaggerated depth and thickness, were full of a sense of history. The rust on it and the accumulated weather over time made it full of history. The pimples show age.

After the electric switch was turned on, the iron gate slowly opened and closed with an extremely harsh and heavy squeaking sound, revealing an elevator that didn't even have a safety guardrail inside. It was just a platform for people to descend, less than ten square meters. The only lighting was a few red light bulbs, emitting an extremely frightening and even creepy light.

Hao took the lead and stood on the lifting platform and asked: "What are you waiting for?"

Colin was silent for a while and also stood on the platform.

Immediately after Hao pulled the lever of the platform, the rusty iron gate began to close, and the elevator platform also began to slowly dive. The speed was not fast, even slower than a standard elevator. It was estimated that it could dive a hundred times in one minute. About the same meter.

"It's going to take a lot of time."

"I hope you have some patience."

"About twenty minutes."

Hazel said calmly.

Different from his calmness, the lift shaft is much larger than the platform, and there are no traces of manual excavation. It is not horizontal or vertical, and is extremely rough. Under the reflection of the red light bulb, it seems to be slowly leading to the platform. hell.

Moreover, the lifting platform also made extremely unsettling sounds. There was a constant squeaking sound coming from the sling, and every few seconds there was a clanging sound from an unknown source, accompanied by the slight trembling of the platform.

It seems that its lifespan is coming to an end. If there is any big bump, the sling will break and it will fall into the abyss.

But both of them are no longer ordinary people and will not be surprised by these small formations.

During the dive.

"So the director of the Countermeasures Bureau."

"Just a messenger."

Colin had to think this way. It was completely different from what he had guessed before. He should be a powerful character, but it seemed that he was not only restricted, but also restricted in his freedom.

"You can't say that."

"most of the time."

"No."

"This is true at any time, what people need is not a strong person to lead them."

"They just wanted a symbol."

"The director of the Countermeasures Bureau is human."

"That's enough."

Hazel said calmly.

Colin finally understood that Hao is the actual controller of the entire countermeasure bureau. In the end, all ideas will only be completely replaced by forms under practical implementation. What is finally fed back is a phenomenon brought about by a phenomenon. That is true essence.

This elevator seems to lead to the end of the world.

The passage of time cannot be felt in this bottomless abyss.

The atmosphere on the platform was extremely solemn, and there was no words for a long time.

"Didn't you collect many eyewitnesses of the South Pacific incident?"

"And got some real pages?"

"Did you find anything?"

Colin asked.

"The real page spontaneously combusted some time ago."

"That's something that human beings can't fathom."

"As for those who experienced it."

"The reason why they were all handed over to me is because I can actually kill them."

Hao replied, now that things have happened, there is nothing left to hold back.

"So you're not trying to take advantage of them."

"It's just purely erasing them."

"Why?"

Colin wanted to know why he was so obsessed with chasing Opal and Pim, and even himself.

"You'll find out soon enough."

"Is not it."

Immediately afterwards.

The entire journey was speechless.

Until about half an hour later, with a loud clang, the lifting platform stopped with some bumps, and finally reached the final destination.

The extremely white passage was so white that it seemed abnormally white. It seemed to be illuminated by strong light, but no light source could be found. At the end was the last passage.

Leading to the truth.

The red door and the elegant paint surface are as scarlet as blood.

He stood still and refused to step out of the lifting platform, as if he was afraid of something.

"Are you scared?"

Colin found it a little funny. After all, just now, Hao was as fierce as the most powerful beast since the beginning, but now he acted like a coward with some stage fright.

"Yes."

"Colin."

"I'm scared."

He finally came out, walked through the white passage, and opened it.

The door to the final truth of the Countermeasures Bureau.
