The secret passage wasn't very long; before long, Hilia reached its end, arriving at a larger, open room.
The ceiling of this room was a direct view of the starry sky, while the surroundings were decorated as if with snow and ice.
In the Subspace, these buildings were constructed and combined at whim, as imaginative as possible.
"I need to change my disguise..."
By manipulating the Array, Hilia discovered that this place was completely unaffected by what was happening outside. She decided not to alert the others, and changed her disguise to one of the unconscious people outside.
These heretics, who were conducting some unknown research, all wore identical snow-white robes, like capes, completely covering their bodies.
The robes had hoods as well; from behind, you could only tell their height and body type, so it was impossible to identify anyone.
Hilia finished her disguise and walked into the open hall, glancing at her surroundings.
