Chapter 3 Money Box in the Reservoir

The silver liquid level in the reservoir above was level with one finger from the edge.

"Gah." There was a soft sound.

Just as Icha expected. Seeing that the reservoir was about to be filled, the automatic valve turned half a block to the right, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard from inside the pipe.

Immediately afterwards, the liquid level in the nearly full reservoir above quietly began to drop.

"What's going on?"

A white light lit up in the corner of his field of vision, and Ke Qier appeared beside him curiously. It seemed that he had completed the round of sympathy that an angel should show, and his restless conscience was now at peace.

"Shh." Yi Cha gestured.

Between the sound of water flowing——

An extremely slight gurgling sound can be heard.

The gurgling sound...came from deep within the pipes.

Looking through the gap between the pipes, a solid box with a metallic luster is neatly embedded in the innermost slot - the texture of the box is different from that of the pipes.

"Are you working on this?"

Keqier leaned over, looked left and right at the valves and pipes with great interest, and soon began to express his opinions.

"The level of craftsmanship at the end of the road is indeed one of the best. On that side just now, you didn't see how neatly the wells were arranged! You may not have noticed - after all, you don't pay attention to this there. The ground here is perfect. A plane perpendicular to gravity. See those pipes?"

"I thought your stuff was one of the best." Yi Cha said coldly.

"Of course. This kind of thing has no place to compare with the Source of Order. And, the most important thing is that what we do is good."

Ke Qier showed a little pride and released a small green ripple from the palm of his hand.

"Of course. A good thing." Yi Cha mocked, but did not stop the angel's behavior.

He recognized that what Ke Qier released was the harmless man spirit life energy spell - echo detection.

Just to explore the precise structure of those things.

It just so happened that he wanted to do the same.

Turquoise ripples popped out of Keqier's palm and refracted between the pipes that looked like works of art.

While he was marveling at it, he kept talking about various craftsmanship indicators that made his ears pucker.

…

Moonlight is up to no good.

The water level in the reservoir above quickly dropped to a low point.

The gurgling in the metal box also stopped.

"What's in the box?" Seeing the green ripples exploring almost all corners, he asked.

"You can't hear it. The material is boiling lead, which reflects all sound waves." Keqier shook his head and added, "But its structure is very magical. The pipe divides the downward liquid flow into ten different directions, and many places are inlaid with Get the gravity stone and let the things inside form a vortex——"

"Hmm. Just listen to my speculation."

Yi Cha pointed at the metal box.

"If I guessed correctly, the thing inside is a 'logic bead'."

Keqier was stunned for a moment, and looked along his direction in confusion - as he fell into thinking, the echolocation ripples dissipated with a "whoosh". "Is there money in it? What's going on? Why?"

Yi Cha briefly explained the mechanism between the two reservoirs to deceive labor and never store dissatisfaction. Then ask before the angel becomes indignant

"Why do you think the terminal lawyer does this?"

He pointed to the pipeline and the two reservoirs, and then waved his hand outwards to indicate the large, deep narrow well.

Keqier paused for a second - he was surprised on the one hand, and a little ashamed on the other hand, because he had paid too much attention to the details of the process and failed to realize the real purpose of the pipes and valves.

"Because he's... bad?"

"Nothing is bad without reason." Yi Cha coughed. "Except us, I mean. It's not like hell."

Ke Qier didn't reply, his face looked worried, and he was thinking extremely intently.

He looked carefully at the pipes, then at the two reservoirs, then at the entire dam and the deep wells that closed the structure.

It didn't take long to figure it out.

"Perhaps this whole episode is just for...not just...like this?" Angel's tone gradually became unbelievable. "real?"

Yi Cha nodded and spread out a hand. "Yes. It's a device that makes logic beads. It's all over the area."

No one spoke for a while.

Thousands of wellheads are dark holes on the slope, like backs that have been pressed down by some kind of torture device.

Ke Qier felt cold. My heart and body felt cold.

Intellectually he knew this was a terrible thing. But I don’t know if I should forgive it. He thought of Gabriel. The archangel was tall, mighty and radiant. He had only spoken to him once——

the archangel said

"In the eyes of angels, there is no right or wrong, only good or bad, and whether to forgive."

What a treason.

Sometimes Ke Qier feels that there is a sense of right and wrong in his own eyes.

Terminal Lawyers does more than just bad things. Still wrong.

How to forgive wrong things. He didn't understand that he was just a powerful angel guarding the library - the kind that was not very qualified.

"Terminus Lawyer." He stared at the box made of boiling lead and took two hard breaths.

"He made those structures perform the simplest regular movements. He used the reservoir to collect the rules - and then used these designed mechanisms to release logic... Those structures have been working in vain, and the logical gains of labor are all stored in this box... …”

"Looks like it," Icha said.

Keqier looked at him. The fake angel looked calm and composed. This guy is always calm and composed. Whether it's the end of the world or an exploding potion bottle, it all seems to translate into the same attitude in him.

Let's do whatever we need to do.

This is a reassuring quality sometimes.

Kezier feels better.

"How do you know? Have you already understood all the principles? There are still some things I haven't figured out." He thought for a while and said.

"I guessed it. Because the guy said 'pay off the debt'." Yi Cha said casually. "That's reason enough."

"The debt will never be repaid," cried Kocher. "Only the terminal lawyers get the money. But the debts of those poor guys haven't been reduced at all. They are going to die here from exhaustion."

"Hmm. But that's not what we worry about." Yi Cha pointed to the shining metal box. "If there's money in it, we'll take it. It's that simple. Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Ke Qier was a little hesitant. Subconsciously he felt bad.

Charlie took out a small statue from his arms and flicked its arm.

The right arm of the statue becomes thicker, longer and becomes more mobile. It held an ordinary iron rake in its hand, and now stretched its arm around the gap in the pipe to rake the metal box.

There is no need to ask him what he is doing. These small statues with various tools in their hands should be specially prepared by Icha for the journey to the end of the road.

There are many weird things at the end of the road, and lawful creatures that interfere with energy spells are everywhere. Ordinary material tools are sometimes more useful.

The "entropy explosion" just now has proved this.
