Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 645 Artificial Angel - Lololia
At the bottom of the valley covered with dense vegetation, several people moved forward along the cave in the corner of the mountain wall.

Sura walked in the front, because she was the smallest and could easily get into narrow places. In addition, as an iron core, she could also put down supporting iron frames along the way to reinforce the passage and prevent collapse.

After that came Fran, Sherry, Guy, and Heshia. Fran knew a lot about the ancient knowledge related to the ruins, could identify many facilities along the way, and could help solve some common problems. Sherry was stronger and was responsible for certain battles. Guy provided support in the rear, and Heshia was the last insurance, responsible for medical assistance.

The front half of the passage is very humid. There are a lot of rotten substances here, some of which are caused by rainwater seepage. There are also some traces of animal nests. The remains and bones of some dead small animals can be seen, and the smell is not good.

The passage leading down collapsed halfway. After several people dug for a while and fixed it, they were able to move forward.

The air here was very stuffy, so the five people had to stop for a while to ventilate for a while before continuing to move forward.

"See the chisel marks on the stone wall here? They must have been left by previous excavators." Fran pointed to the obvious scratches on the stone on one side of the passage.

"They must have used some kind of mechanical cutting tool to create such a stone cut." Sura touched it and analyzed.

"With such technology and strength, it's no wonder you said before that there might have been excavations underneath." Guy also came over. The place where the five people were standing was very spacious, with two huge rocks supporting each other above them.

"We can take a short break here and decide which direction to go down," Fran suggested.

After the five people stopped, Fran took out the metal detector he carried with him and turned it on. Then, based on the feedback from the instrument pointer, he quickly sketched the general situation on a cardboard next to him.

"There are a lot of reactions in the south-east, and there are also reactions in the north and southwest corner, but they are not strong."

"Look at the passage ahead. The previous excavation team also headed southeast." Fran marked on the paper.

"Let's go to the southwest corner." Heshia suggested. In her perception, the north was dead silent and partially flooded. Although there were many buildings left in the southeast corner, most of them had been emptied and were dilapidated and empty.

"This..." Fran didn't mean that they had to go to the southeast corner, but he was curious why Heshia was so sure.

"I can feel a slightly different reaction in the southwest corner." Heshia had no choice but to explain.

"Telepathy?" Sura guessed, resting his head on his head.

"Many new races have similar abilities, especially some superior species." She felt that Heshia and Ores must be some rare superior species of new races.

Unlike ordinary new races, superior species often shoulder certain management responsibilities and are also nodes in building a consciousness resonance network, similar to characters like Utsuri. They will have a sharper and stronger spiritual consciousness, and their genetic expression is also different from that of ordinary new races. If ordinary new races are produced on automated assembly lines, then superior species are carefully debugged and cultivated by the creator, and some are even the painstaking creations of the Dark Sun, which cost a lot of energy and emotion, just like their own children.

"Since Heshia said so, let's dig in that direction." Guy had no objection.

"We'll go wherever you say, but just make sure you don't get less pay." Shirley was just there to work and didn't care about the direction.

"Although the reaction in the southeast corner is strong, it is possible that someone has already got there first. So let's go to the southwest corner." Fran thought about it and agreed with the direction pointed out by Heshia.

"But where should we start digging in this direction? We don't have the same good tools as our predecessors." Sura looked at the integrated stone wall on one side.

"From this side." In order to reach the room in her perception, Heshia had to expose some of her abilities.

"Digging diagonally from the side will not only allow us to use the stones on the side for support, but we will also avoid encountering any obstacles during the excavation." She pressed one hand on the stone wall, and a faint halo spread from the surface of the rock and seeped into the ground.

"This?" The others looked at the girl in surprise, wondering where she got this perception and detection ability, but it was not a good idea to ask her at this moment.

What followed was the somewhat boring excavation process. Except for Heshia and Sura, the other two people, Guy, took turns to slowly dig out the passage, and several hours passed.

"This is all we can do today." Looking at the passage with no exit in sight, Fran stuck the shovel on the ground and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Thank you for your hard work." Heshia comforted them, and then the five of them returned to the camp on the ground through the underground passage to rest.

After Meimei finished eating the dinner prepared by Heshia and Sura, the three of them lay down to rest, while Heshia and Sura took turns to keep watch.

The next day, the five people replenished their water and food and set out again, heading towards the passage they had dug yesterday to continue the unfinished work from yesterday.

In this way, another day and night passed. At dusk on the third day, with the rolling of rubble, the passage was finally dug through and connected to a room inside the ruins.

"Don't rush to go down. Let's ventilate the air first." Fran reminded, so the five of them simply went out to have dinner early.

After dinner, the five people were so excited that they didn’t want to sleep at all. They returned to the underground passage again and jumped into the room inside the ruins through the broken hole.

This room is about 30 square meters, not very big. There is a corroded metal frame inside, which should have been used to store sundries and accessories. Some old fan blade parts can be seen.

After smashing open the rusty iron door, the five people moved forward along the passage. Some of the rooms on both sides were completely covered with mud, while some still had some residue left.

"Look, this should be a large computer room. The steel frame is full of chips and heat dissipation devices." Sura turned over one of the rubbles and said her discovery excitedly.

"Are these still usable?" Guy looked at the rust-green and rotten structure.

"Many circuit boards are corroded and aged. Even if the crystal inside the chip is not broken, it is probably unusable." Fran shook his head.

"However, if we bring these back, the Slami Association will buy them at a high price because some of the sophisticated parts and chip structures can be recycled." He looked at the broken circuit board in his hand.

"In other words, it's very valuable?" Sherry's eyes were full of excitement.

"That's right. After all, it is a creation from the ancient era of advanced technology. Now many technologies have been lost, so it is naturally very rare."

"Let's take a look at other places. If there is nothing new to discover, we can come back tomorrow and dig this place thoroughly," Fran suggested.

Afterwards, they continued to explore along the passage and found a hollow hall with several connected passages.

"If we regard the entire ruins as a human neural network, we are probably entering at the end of the nerves. This should be a small central nervous system, similar to the spine."

"From the perspective of architecture and psychology, the most important things are often placed on the central or main lines." Fran sketched on the paper with his fingers, analyzing the terrain here.

While several people were discussing the location of treasures or important information, Heshia held up a lantern and carefully looked at the facilities on the walls and corners, thinking secretly.

There are no skeletons of any living creatures here. Either they were all moved before the ruins were abandoned, or the users of the ruins were not normal creatures.

Combined with the abandoned rooms found along the way, there were no traces of beds or even seats. From this point of view, Heshia felt that this might not be a place for humans to live. Unfortunately, the technology level in this ruins was quite high, and there were no words or books or paper materials engraved on the surface. The crowd did find many crystal screens that had been used before, but they could no longer be started.

According to Fran's calculations, everyone headed towards the center passage, but the gate to the passage was closed.

"I tried it, but I couldn't break it with a shovel. The material used is much stronger than a shovel." Guy shook his head.

"Is it only possible to use explosives?" Sherry rubbed his hair.

"Explosives are also difficult." Sura replied.

"Alloy doors like this were built with explosion situations in mind. Ordinary explosives can't break them open, and with more powerful explosives, the entire ruins might collapse and be buried." Although he said this, Sura was not worried or discouraged.

"So, at this time, we can only count on our Miss Heshia."

"Me?" Tilan was a little surprised. She could indeed break the door, even with her bare hands. She just didn't know why Sura trusted her so much.

"Of course, if Heshia uses that sword, she will definitely be able to break it." Sura answered with his shoulders crossed and nodded confidently.

It turned out to be the personality weapon. Tilan almost forgot about the sword, because with her current strength, it didn’t matter whether she used the sword or not.

"I understand." Since Sura said so, Tilan didn't need to reveal anything extra. She and Sura returned to get the sword box hidden in the camp.

Sherry didn't understand the conversation and actions of the two people. Why did they all believe that the weak Heshia could break open this solid and thick alloy door?

"Ahahaha, you'll know soon." Guy patted the other person's shoulder.

Soon, Heshia and Sura returned.

The iron sword box was opened, and the heavy dark red broken sword fixed inside was taken out and held in Heshia's hand.

As she infused her magic power, the sword gradually changed from the dark red stone color to a metallic color, and the grid engraved on the sword also took on a deep red color.

Holding the sword, Heshia held it horizontally in the air with her hands clasped together, then walked towards the alloy door step by step, and then slowly inserted it into the alloy door.

Puffs of green smoke floated from the alloy door, followed by the crackling sound of metal friction. As the girl slowly cut the door open with her sword, some metal wires overflowed from the gap and twisted into silver-white curved spirals.

A few minutes later, the oval alloy plate fell down, making a heavy echo on the ground, and the dark passage behind it appeared in front of them.

Putting away the sword, Heshia followed the others and checked the rooms along the passage.

Perhaps because they are well sealed and protected, the contents of these rooms are exceptionally well preserved.

"This is it!" When he opened the door, Fran looked in great surprise at the large bionic mechanical body in front of him that was several meters taller than him.

It looks like a six-legged insect with a silver metal body. It has four-sided wings on its back that can be folded into a thick shell. In front of it are two pairs of sharp knives, and on both sides of its waist and abdomen are gun barrels that can spray high-temperature heat. Its overall lines are smooth, with an industrial, precise and neat beauty.

"Is this a war machine that has not been started?" Several people observed carefully and cautiously, fearing that this large silver machine would suddenly come to life.

"It should be." Fran took out the lantern, turned the knob on it, and used the principle of Fresnel lens to focus its light forward.

In the reflection of the light, this sleeping silver bionic mechanical body shows every detail, whether it is the transmission structure of each joint, or the well-processed metal corners and riveted plates, all of which give people an illusion of coldness and efficiency.

This is definitely not something that can be created by ignorant creatures, but rather the crystallization of wisdom and experience.

"It's a pity that such a beautiful thing exists only to kill us." Fran sighed.

"It seems that this relic should have been left behind by the Mechanical Council. No wonder there are no human corpses."

Although this bionic machine should not be activated, the few people did not touch it closely out of caution and continued to walk into the inner room.

In the subsequent room, several people saw one cold and intact mechanical body after another. They had different shapes. Some were similar to mantises, some were similar to reptiles, and some were like bees, but they could be separated and combined with each other. Some were like butterflies, with large and exquisite ultra-thin metal fans on their backs. Everyone speculated that these might be radar or detection type mechanical bodies.

"Why are these machines built in the shape of insects?" Sura asked curiously.

"I don't know either, but some scholars in the association speculate that it may be because the structure of insects is more compatible with machines. The bodies of mammals such as humans have a lot of flesh and connective tissue, which are too complicated and unnecessary to simulate with machines." Fran replied.

Everyone gradually walked towards the last room, which was located at the end of the passage and in the middle.

Heshia used her sword to slowly cut the door open again. As the alloy door fell down, the spacious and magnificent scene inside appeared in front of them.

The entire room is like a three-story spherical dome. The inner wall of the sphere is dotted with many non-functioning robotic arms. The front ends of these robotic arms are like blooming scalpels, equipped with various drills and interfaces, and some metal accessories that have not been removed from the robotic arms. It can be guessed that the robots in the room before were assembled here. However, at this moment, the eyes of several people are not paying attention to these suspended robotic arms at all, but are all focused on the unfinished robot in the center.

She has an almost human-like appearance, resembling a human girl of about 14-15 years old, especially her face, which looks very gentle, but from the neck down, it is a light white shell like clothes, her two arms hang naturally, and the mechanical joints of her fingers can be clearly seen, and the shape of her two legs has the curves of a human, a little fleshy, but it does not conceal the metal joints and connecting rivets above, and behind her are unfolded but unfinished metal wings, one of which only has the root part, and the other is almost completed, with faintly visible complex circuit imprints and seven small jet nozzles arranged in a row.

In addition, behind this mechanical girl, there are countless circuit cables. They are connected to the girl's back and back of the head, connecting the entire spherical space, like the brain of the entire ruins.

When the five people stepped into the room, the cable indicator light behind the mechanical girl began to flash, and the originally still green cursor began to flow again, as if countless information was converging from this relic to the mechanical girl fixed on the wall.

[Failed, failed, failed to connect...]
[Failed, failed, failed to connect...]
……

[Artificial angel, mechanical life β-level sub-terminal, codename: Loramiya, failed to connect to the Aigeka network, unable to obtain final authorization, according to Article 163 of the agreement, will be urgently activated in the event of an invasion...]
[Mission code detection completed, data input 86.25% (stopped), energy remaining (7.2%), protection device retrieval failed...]
A series of characters quickly flashed across the girl's eyes, and her deep emerald eyes, which were dull and lifeless before, began to become lively.

As she slowly raised her head, bright emerald light flowed through the mechanical gaps on her body, and then converged and disappeared. The originally loose body shrank, and the previously clear mechanical gaps closed, forming a smooth and perfect whole. If you don't look closely at this time, it is difficult to distinguish her from a human being.

Cables popped out from behind her, and the air jets on one side of the wing and the lower part of the skirt began to operate. With a slight buzzing sound, the airflow slowly lifted her body up.

"The Meriancast system is activated, Loramiya has arrived."

Pupils representing intellect and thinking emerged in those emerald eyes, and then invisible electronic pulses spread in all directions, sweeping across the entire underground ruins.
