"(From the perspective...)"

The lamp reaches out.

She picked one of them up from the box.

Those were two half-face armors stacked together.

If you look carefully, you will find that its color is different from other face armors.

It seems that this is what fell just now.

"That." Deng leaned out and shouted to the crowded corridor, "Your things fell--"

However, it was only then that she discovered that the two people in front of her had already squeezed through the crowd and entered the backstage.

"Lights? What's wrong?"

At this time, Lixi, who was leaning against the stairs, heard the light shouting, she turned around and asked.

"Those two people just lost something..."

Deng held the two face armors and said.

Lixi looked further into the corridor.

"The staff?" she said. "They've all gone in. If you leave it there and they can't find it, they'll naturally come back and scan it with their artificial eyes—"

Li Xi hadn't finished speaking yet.

at this time.

Click.

Deng suddenly heard the sound of a door opening above him.

It sounded like an employee had just opened the door to the third floor.

There's someone up there!

"It would be bad if it's a prop for the stage." Deng said quickly, "I'll ask them to pass it on."

"Hey, wait, the light—"

Before Lixi could finish his words, Deng flashed into the staff passage.

……

The light ran up the employee passage.

There were footsteps above.

It sounds like there are quite a lot of people.

"(Four or five people?)"

"that--"

The lights tried to catch up.

However, those people acted quickly.

Before the lights caught up the stairs, the men had already exited through the staff passage on the third floor.

"..."

The light slowly climbed up to the third floor.

However, what appeared in front of her was only the closed door of the employee passage.

Light gave the door handle a tentative tug.

The door is locked. It can't be opened.

"..."

The light blinked.

It seems that there is really no way to return the things to the other party.

If it can do good things, the lamp wants to do good things.

However, she is not the kind of person who must do something even if she can't do it.

Or just do as Lixi said, just leave the things where they were and wait for them to come back and find them.

Deng thought like an ordinary student and went back to the second floor.

This was originally just a trivial matter.

but……

At this time, another small accident happened.

"..."

The light blinked and looked towards the closed employee door on the second floor.

When she left, she left the staff door ajar.

But now, the employee door is closed.

A red light is on at the top, indicating that it is locked.

It was locked just like the third floor.

Through the resin window, Deng saw Li Xi trying to reopen the magnetic door outside.

The light connected to the MyGO!!!!! common communication channel.

【Deng: The door is closed?】

【Light: Sorry...】

[Lixi: It’s not the lamp’s fault! ]

Li Xi’s reply was quick.

[Lixi: It’s too crowded outside! As soon as the lights went in, the guy next to me hit the door with his guitar bag, closing it—]

[Lixi: I will take this door apart right now! ]

[Su Shi: Stop for a moment, what are you doing? Isn't this a violation of the site safety management regulations? ]

【Lixi: ...Tsk.】

【Le Nai: I can help you with unlocking the door. 】

[Su Shi: Xiao Le Nai too, please don't cause a riot here, okay? ]

【Aine: What, what? The door won’t open?】

【Su Shi: We will...】

【Aine: Aha! I have something here that can be used! Let me see... This is called... [Environmental Cavity Detection - Ultrasonic Stereoscopic Imager]... Wow, the name is so long...】

[Lixi: Huh? This is a strategic software, right? How did you install this? ]

[Aine: Hehe, if I carry a lot of stuff, it will come in handy at the critical moment! Let me see... Oh! It's activated! Now, I can analyze the entrances and exits in the environment! ]

[Ain: Xiao Deng, Xiao Deng, there is an exit below, right? You can go out from there~ I will guide you! ]

【Deng: Yes.】

There were footsteps behind the door.

The lights went downstairs.

[Lixi: Huh? Wait, if we just walk around randomly, what if we get lost? ]

[Aine: Aren’t we still communicating? Rikki is such a worrier.]

[Lixi: There are so many people! There are also rehearsals, and the communication signal is not good sometimes——]

[Aine: It’s okay, it’s okay~ I have a [Home Tracker]! Even if there’s no signal, I can still locate Xiao Deng~]

[Lixi: Huh? Why did you install this... Wait, you installed the lights too? When?]

[Aine: Xiao Deng wants to go to the aquarium with me~ There's no signal there, right? So, I asked Xiao Deng to install this~]

[Lixi: You guys are going to the aquarium together!? ]

【Aine: Ah, Xiao Deng, turn left down there~】

【Deng: Ah, yeah.】

【Aine: Then go down, down, and then to the right ~ and go in through the third door ~】

【Deng: Yes.】

【Aine: And then... huh? Strange... I can't see it...】

【Deng: Eh?】

[Lixi: ...How many times have you told me to go down? How many floors underground did it go?]

【Le Nai: Deng, shall I pick you up? 】

[Deng: Uh, I don’t know where I am… There are so many white walls here, and there’s an electronic fence in front that says “No Trespassing”…]

[Lixi: We are almost at the non-permitted personnel area! Deng, come back soon——]

【Aine: Wait, I see it! It just wasn’t formed yet – it’s very close to the exit!】

[Lixi: Hey! You still want to give orders? What if I accidentally enter a "no entry" area? ]

[Ain: My software can recognize "No Entry" signs, okay? I will only let Xiao Deng take the "Visitor Permit" path! It's almost out! ]

【Su Shi: (Big sigh)】

[Su Shi: I can’t bear it. Can you save some energy for the performance? ]

[Su Shi: I'll report to the staff through the [venue notification channel] and ask them to open the door.]

Chapter 260 Lost

CiRCLE.

Fourth floor underground.

"..."

The light passed behind the gray-white wall. She walked slowly, and from time to time, she looked around vigilantly.

The ceiling was off-white, and so was the floor. In this inorganic environment, where it was hard to tell where one was, the lights turned corners.

At some corners, she could see bright red electronic fences.

The security door, fire hydrant, and channel inspection port on the wall all looked exactly the same. If Aine hadn't said "That's right!" in her brain machine with full confidence, Deng would have thought that he was just spinning in circles.

Where are we going?

Aine said that the light was on the fourth floor underground. However, the light didn't even have a floor number.

The light moved forward hesitantly.

In her hands she still held the pair of half-face armors.

However, I didn't seem to notice.

Ta, tap.

The floor is very quiet.

despair.

"?"

In another direction - farther away, Deng heard footsteps that did not belong to him.

The light looked behind the bright red "Warning! No Trespassing" barriers.

Behind the electronic fence, deep in the long corridor, it seemed like someone was walking.
