I Got 999 Level With One Cut

"My lord, please have mercy on us. You are the father who gave us the steam engine."    

    

What they saw was a huge underground city.    

    

The cave that contained this underground city was larger than Prince Weiss Barsia's tomb. The length and width of the cave should be more than ten kilometers. The depth was hard to estimate. It was in the shape of a funnel, and the top was wide. And the bottom was narrow.    

    

"May the people respect your name as the Holy Spirit, may your will take effect on the earth, just like they do in the Kingdom of Heaven"    

    

Riko Hasegawa, Meiko, Loli Merlin, and Shu Hsingnan's group of five who came out with them. There were a total of eight of them. They were currently standing on the top of this enormous funnel. It was the roof of a house.    

    

Countless buildings were very crowded, stretching down like stairs. It was hard to see a wide road that a carriage could pass through. Even if there were, it was still unknown if horses could survive in such a place.    

    

Above their heads was not the clear and distant sky that they often saw on Earth, but a huge pitch-black ceiling made of stone. The geological structure that weighed several tons was hanging high above people's heads, making them, who were accustomed to flying birds, the sun, and the starry sky, feel exceptionally oppressed.    

    

"Today, I thank you for bestowing us with light, and injecting all machinery with the power to move."    

    

The air was filled with smoke and dust left behind by the burning of coal or steam, looking misty. However, they could still see the funnel-shaped city on the other side. It was filled with grayish-black buildings with mottled outer walls. The distribution of the buildings was uneven. They were uneven, and the dense metal pipes were illuminated by the sparse lighting. They were growing unscrupulously between the buildings.    

    

Lorin began to cough non-stop the moment she passed through the Plane Passageway. After receiving a bottle of medicine from Dorothy, she seemed to have become a little better.    

    

"I know that Glimmer Cities was built by you. All power and glory will be yours forever."    

    

They looked down and saw that the buildings in the depths of the Funnel City were becoming more and more chaotic and strange. A frightening dark red light came out from the bottomless abyss. It looked like the light from the burning giant boiler. Riko opened her eyes wide and gave her a clarity skill. She found that there were people busy there. The rumbling sound echoed throughout the entire city like a walking mechanical beast.    

    

"Therefore, I request that you pardon my crime and continue to protect us. Do not let the darkness descend again."    

    

The voice of someone speaking came from the bright room next door. Through the dirty and broken glass window, everyone could see the family sitting around the table. There were a few bowls in front of them, and they were holding their hands together and closing their eyes. They were chanting strange prayers.    

    

"I pray in the name of Lord James Watt, Amen."    

    

Riko felt that there was something wrong with this prayer. However, she could not tell exactly what was wrong.    

    

Meiko blinked and opened her hands. She had already put the heavy armor into a magic tool that could store items. According to her description, this Plane person didn't know how to use magic.    

    

"Look, this is the world that I had lived in for more than ten years."    

    

"What a magnificent world." Virna muttered and sighed.    

    

The blond Shield Knight opened her mouth as if she wanted to respond, but before that, something else happened that diverted everyone's attention.    

    

"Heretic! Capture the person in front of her, she is studying the evil machine! She is blaspheming the supreme Watt! "    

    

Chaotic shouts and footsteps came from the alley behind Riko. She turned around like a conditioned reflex. She saw a group of people in black chasing a blonde girl in a flurry. From time to time, residents who heard the noise would open the door of their house or sigh, "Holy Spirit Watt!" Or simply join the chasing team. Perhaps it was because they had lived in the darkness for generations, but the people here had skin like Palewhite. They were thin and thin, with long and thin limbs.    

    

That girl looked too young, perhaps even younger than Riko. Her long hair that shone with a golden luster was stained with some brown oil stains. She did not show a steadiness that did not match her age. Instead, she was like an ordinary girl who did not have the experience of escaping from being hunted as she rampaged through the narrow alley. This kind of panic obviously did not bring her any luck. Not long after, as expected, she was blocked in an alley that could not be accessed.    

    

When she saw the wall in front of her, fear gripped her heart in an instant. She curled up in a corner and trembled slightly. She took out a small knife that was not sharp from her bosom. She placed the knife in front of her, like a cat that had sensed danger.    

    

"I didn't... That wasn't me..."    

    

Riko blinked and tugged at Meiko's clothes. Before Riko could say anything, Meiko already understood what Riko meant.    

    

"The religious police are still the same."    

    

Meiko pulled Riko and lightly jumped over the gap between the roof and rushed towards the inaccessible alley.    

    

"Quickly give up resisting and follow us to the religious magistrate. You will receive the punishment that you deserve for your mistakes!"    

    

Those few men in black did not seem to want to be stabbed by the knife in the little girl's hand and they did not give up trying to persuade her. It was as if this could force her to surrender. Although Riko did not know what the Inquisition did, she looked at the blonde girl's terrified expression. She felt that it should not be a good place.    

    

"If you put down your weapon, Bishop Karashnikov will punish you lightly."    

    

Before he could finish his second sentence, another unforeseen event happened.    

    

It was a strange, deep sound coming from underground. It sounded like the dull sound of some kind of huge equipment gradually shutting down. Then, the lights in the entire Funnel City started to go out one after another.    

    

"Damn it! The power is out!"    

    

The sudden darkness made everyone stop in their tracks. Their instinctive fear of darkness and unknown made them unable to make any movements. They stared at the darkness in front of them with their eyes wide open, breathing heavily.    

    

Except for Riko and Meiko.    

    

Riko Hasegawa's mind moved and a bright light appeared in her palm. The lighting skill, a spell that could not cause any harm to the enemy, played a huge role in the darkness. She waved her hand and a light fell between the black-clothed people and the blonde girl. She held Meiko's hand and jumped into the narrow alley.    

    

The overly bright light in the darkness made the young girl subconsciously squint her eyes. She was still curled up in the corner like a trapped animal. She held her only weapon tightly.    

    

Riko blinked.    

    

"Come with me."    

    

She whispered.
