Chapter 3413
"General?" Shiler repeated this word. He thought of another ruthless character among the Dark Elves—General Algrim, also known as the Kurse.
He is the second-in-command of the Dark Elves and also the bravest warrior among the Dark Elf ethnic group. In most universes, he is a great enemy of Lei Shen and is also known to have twice the power of Lei Shen.
In the comics, he actually performed mediocrely and didn't seem to be much stronger than Lei Shen. Shiler didn't know very well about the situation in other universes, but in this universe, Kurse couldn't possibly have twice the power of Lei Shen, because there is no Lei Shen in this universe, only the combination of thunder and fire, the God of Light.
Moreover, Kurse's power of twice Lei Shen was given to him by the Beyonder. But now the Beyonder is busy maintaining Battleworld and won't make trouble in the universe. So whether Kurse is strong or not is still a question.
But there is no doubt that this guy should have replaced Malekith's position and brewed a new round of conspiracy against humans.
It's just that Shiler couldn't figure out what he could do by making a move on Jupiter. If it's just stealing resources, then it would take some time to have an impact on humans, because humans now have no development of Jupiter at all. No matter how many resources they steal, it won't affect the humans now.
"It couldn't be finding a rope to tie Jupiter and swing it to smash Earth, right? Is this a trick that intelligent life can think of?"
Since there were too few clues, then go investigate more clues. After Shiler went upstairs, he didn't stop his steps, but walked toward the direction where the previous Dark Elf came from.
Shiler guessed that it might be an office or something, and there should be more Dark Elves inside. Catching someone to ask should be feasible.
He moved forward cautiously in the dark corridor. After arriving at the door, he found that this door needed a pass to open.
Shiler stood by the door and hesitated for a long time, finally deciding to find the previous Dark Elf to see if he had a door card on him.
After he went down, the previous Dark Elf was no longer in place. Shiler walked forward along the corridor in the direction he might have left, and ended up bumping into another door that needed a door card.
"Very good, reality is really not as beautiful as comics. This world is a huge puzzle game."
Shiler didn't rush to find the door card. He stood by the door and listened to the movement inside, didn't hear any sound of people talking, but there was a very slight humming sound of machine operation. This might be an equipment room.
Shiler knew that for Dark Elves to be active in the solar system, they also had to bring life-support devices. On one hand, this race has a huge natural defect, which is that they cannot be exposed to the sun. On the other hand, there are too many volcanoes on Io, and the temperature is too high, which is not something carbon-based organisms can bear at all. Except for the perverted race like the Aesir, whoever comes is a teppanyaki squid.
Shiler had already discovered that the Dark Elf he just followed wasn't wearing any equipment, so it should be that this temple has a large life-support equipment center. The equipment for covering sunlight and cooling down should be inside.
And to maintain the cover and cooling, energy is inevitably needed. And since the stronghold is built on Io, the most likely energy source is geothermal. The energy center should be built at the bottom of the temple.
"No matter what, just pull the power switch first."
Shiler returned to the stairwell, determined that there was no one in the corridor, he illuminated the road with moonlight and identified the direction.
There are three channels in the lobby on the first floor. If nothing goes wrong, they should all be locked. But the possibility of using a common door card is relatively high. Shiler decided to wait for a lucky person carrying a door card to come and deliver food.
After waiting for a few minutes, a figure appeared at the corner. Shiler stretched out his hands, and a light band emitting a faint light appeared between his hands.
The moment the Dark Elf turned over, Shiler stretched out his hand around his head and directly wrapped the light band around the Dark Elf's neck.
"Uh..."
The Dark Elf made a short syllable and struggled desperately. Shiler dragged him back to the corner of the stairwell. It wasn't until the other party had completely lost his breath that he let go.
"He might not be dead," Khonshu reminded.
"I didn't intend to kill him either," Shiler said. "The probability of Stark not being discovered is very small, anyway, it will make some noise in the end. It doesn't matter if he reports the intruder after he wakes up."
After searching him, Shiler found a pass. Taking the pass, Shiler went to the door directly opposite.
Putting the card on it, it made two "beep" sounds. Followed by a prompt.
Shiler couldn't understand the Dark Elf language, but he also knew it should be the wrong door card. So he came to another channel again, and when he put the door card on it, it was the same prompt again.
All three channels were tried, and this door card couldn't open any door. Shiler sighed helplessly.
He returned to the second floor and listened in front of the door on the second floor. There were people inside. If he opened the door rashly like this, the people inside would definitely notice something wrong. Shiler didn't try.
He waited at the corner of the stairwell again, preparing to wait for the second lucky person. As a result, the office upstairs seemed to have finished the meeting, and groups of Dark Elves walked out.
In order to avoid them, Shiler had to transfer the Dark Elf he had strangled unconscious before to the channel on the other side.
Quite a few Dark Elves came to the first floor and entered the three channels, opening the doors there. It's a pity that there were too many people, and Shiler had no way to mix in.
After they all left, the office on the second floor was empty. Shiler swiped the door open with the door card and entered the office.
Everything here was cleaned up. Shiler checked the desktop, cabinets, and drawers, but found nothing.
There was nothing on the second floor, and he couldn't get into the first floor. Shiler could only head to the third floor. As a result, the door to the third-floor stairwell didn't open, and if he wanted to go to the third floor, he could only take the elevator.
Shiler found the elevator at the other end of the second-floor corridor, but the elevator also needed an elevator card. Without an elevator card, he couldn't press the floor.
Shiler tried the door card on the second floor and found that it couldn't be swiped at all. That is to say, he still had to find an elevator card to go to the third floor. But he wanted to go to the third floor because there was no one on the second floor. Then where was he going to get the elevator card?
"Are Dark Elves sick?" Shiler said while walking out of the elevator. "Every door has a door card, and they don't communicate with each other. Is the designer who designed this building a puzzle game designer in his previous life? Is the Riddler's trophy what you stuffed?"
Complaining is complaining, Shiler still had to find a way. He returned to the balcony on the second floor and looked up.
Shiler couldn't pass through walls, he could only use the characteristics of moonlight to pass through glass. But there were no windows above the second floor of this temple, and he couldn't use this method to get in.
He returned to the second floor, then went down the stairs to the first floor. He didn't believe that no one would come to the first floor.
After waiting for a few minutes, a Dark Elf really came out of the middle channel. Shiler waited at the intersection and knocked him unconscious in the same way, and found two door cards on him.
As a result, coincidentally, these two door cards couldn't open the door on the first floor.
"But if this is the case, then how did he enter the channel that was locked before?"
Shiler didn't know, but anyway, there were so many people entering the door at that time, and this guy could just follow anyone else to get in. It's normal not to have a door card.
But the problem is, these two door cards also couldn't open the doors on the second and third floors, and couldn't even swipe the elevator. This means that this might be a door card for a higher floor.
"But if this is the case, then where is this guy going? He can't take the stairs, and he can't take the elevator. How does he go to a higher floor to open the doors that these two cards can open?"
Shiler almost felt like he had encountered a bug, Eternity? Look at this shitty code you wrote!
Shiler took a deep breath and tried to calm his mood. He returned to the office on the second floor and waited; whoever came in first, he would kill whoever it was.
The Dark Elves returning to their posts came slower than imagined. Shiler waited for ten minutes before finally waiting for the third unlucky guy of the day.
After knocking him unconscious, Shiler finally found an elevator card on him. He entered the elevator.
There were two rows of buttons in the elevator. Shiler pressed the button in the lower-left corner according to his usual habit, wanting to go to the underground energy core.
As a result, this elevator started running upward.
Feeling the resistance coming from under his feet, Shiler almost suspected that he was hallucinating. Why did he press the bottom button, but the elevator was going up? Is the logic of the Dark Elf elevator different from humans??
Not knowing which floor the elevator rose to, as soon as the door opened, Shiler hurriedly turned into a ray of moonlight and rushed out, because he had already heard footsteps outside the door.
He moved very fast, the other party didn't see what was going on at all, but instinctively sensed that there was an intruder. He shouted, took his gun, and chased in the direction Shiler came from.
Shiler fled all the way in the corridor, hid in a blind spot after turning a corner. The two chasing Dark Elves were dizzy, didn't see his specific position. Shiler took the opportunity to bypass them and return the same way.
Returning to the elevator, Shiler hesitated for a long time looking at the row of buttons, and pressed the button at the very top.
As a result, the elevator was still running upward.
Shiler really couldn't take it anymore, he took out his phone and took a picture of the elevator button, sent it to Loki, and captioned: "Why does no elevator I press go down?"
Dozens of seconds later, Loki replied: "The elevator numbers of the Dark Elves are arranged from right to left, from top to bottom. The top right is -1, the top left is 14."
Shiler looked at the picture and compared it; it turned out that he had just pressed 8 and 14, no wonder the elevator was running upward no matter how he pressed it.
"Shitty design," Shiler typed and sent it out, then pressed the -1 button.
During the elevator's descent, Loki replied: "Asgard's elevator is also designed like this, haven't you noticed?"
"Shitty Asgard."
"What exactly are you doing?"
"Being a superhero."
"Which superhero takes the elevator?"
"Me... and Eddie."
"He's a coward, and you are too?"
"Shitty Prince."
