Fast Forward To 3077

Have dinner.

Xu Jiu always likes to stay on the rooftop.

After lying down for more than half an hour, the starry sky of Wasteland is beautiful, but after seeing it for a long time, Xu Jiu can't help but start thinking about his recent situation.

The thumb rubbed the strange thing ring, and suddenly remembered that after becoming an occultist, he hadn't really studied the two city models in the strange thing ring.

Be aware that Xu Jiu couldn't understand it in the past, and he didn't have the innate talent for source energy technology, so that the only role of the two city models at the moment is to serve as a reference for Gloria.

As for technology transfer, Xu Jiu knows the value of this, but some hesitates, and even vaguely resists telling others about these two city models.

Xu Jiu clearly knows that the hidden technology is most likely to make himself a target.

At present, Xu Jiu is not short of money, and he does not expect to get anything from those consortiums, because the latter he wants simply does not have.

The first inscription on the left side of the ring is activated, and Xu Jiu first called out the seabed city, not the Sky City.

Compared with the completely unfamiliar latter, Xu Jiu has been to Seabed City after all, and has a general understanding of the situation inside and knows where its key areas are.

Zoom in on the model, Xu Jiu's gaze followed his previous route and first turned to the gate where a large amount of heavy armor was piled up, and there was a source energy pillar inside the castle.

The strange ring and necklace Xu Jiu got on the top floor here, he remembers that there should be a lot of marks left with relic text.

Sure enough, after zooming in on the model, Xu Jiu quickly discovered some names used to divide the area.

For example, the Bauhinia Knight regiment and the Molten Factory.

The former appeared in a stratified building with an internal structure that looked like a dormitory, while the latter appeared in front of the internal assembly factory that Xu Jiu had visited. This shows that the interior of the seabed city The organization is quite complex.

The angle of view was adjusted to the highest level, that is, where the soul is. I wanted to explore the origins of him, but there was no new discovery. I could only focus on the core area of ​​the seabed city. There are also signs here.

"Secluded sect......"

Zooming in the interior of the building, Xu Jiu first glanced at the area's label, and then quickly locked the previous one with his own memory. The location of the giant bronze bell and array.

The former has no special representation on the city model, but there are many words in the location of the seal array, and the contrast is neat.

Before the change, Xu Jiu could only stare at these ghostly picture talisman-like fonts. Now with the occultist's ability, Xu Jiu can already understand the meaning with no difficulty.

'Their spires are deeper than our deepest tomb,

The light that human eyes can illuminate them.

Only wingless worms can travel to and from the tomb.

The tomb is located under the sky and waves. '

While chanting the meanings translated from the ancient words, Xu Jiu brows knit, pondering the meaning, unconsciously emerged in my mind the end of the seabed that I saw when I left the seabed city. Out of the horror giant beast.

'Under the sky and the waves', what it refers to is undoubtedly seabed.

Then the "grave" refers to the seabed city or the seal under it?

Xu Jiu is undoubtedly inclined to the latter. The wingless worm can match the monster to some extent.

The tomb, the worm, the secluded sect...

Xu Jiu ponders the connection between the three.

In the past, he thought that Youmei Sect built that building, together with the existence of giant bell and amethyst just to be able to resurrect in the distant future of their time, now it seems that their purpose and evil are obviously Also related.

Is it possible that part of the original intention of constructing the seabed city may be to suppress evil spirits?

It seems that the arrangement of so many troops may be to prevent attacks from the outside world, but their subsequent actions obviously deviated from the original intention...

etc. .

Perhaps all this is caused by evil?

We must know that the influence of evil spirits on human spirit has long been proved, and the experience of Secret Society two days ago is the best proof.

Once in order to suppress the evil sect, was in turn influenced by the evil and turned into a cult?

Although it was just a speculation, Xu Jiu's thoughts quickly spread out and thought about the situation in the world of Lingxing.

The human beings of that era were undoubtedly trying to fight evil and they were quite effective, and even sealed them in various categories.

and so on.

Since Seabed City is a city created to seal evil spirits, what about Sky City?

As soon as he thought, Xu Jiu straightened up suddenly, and Fu Ling, who was curled up in his arms, looked up at him blankly.

The secluded sect and seabed city, the lunar crown sect and the sky city!

The former uses amethyst to seek a chance of resurrection, the latter... the ruins of the moon crown sect, the blood in the Great Saint Cup!

Another inscription on the ring lights up. Xu Jiu doesn't pay attention to the others. He directly locks the cathedral of the sect of the moon crown, zooms in and starts searching for an existence in it.

The sight suddenly condenses, and the base of the Great Saint Cup in Sky City is also inscribed with a mantra-like existence,

"Born by blood, holy by blood, Died by blood..."

Subconsciously chanting this mantra, Xu Jiu suddenly fell into a trance before his eyes, lying back in the wicker chair, and the expression on his face gradually calmed down.

With his eyes closed, Xu Jiu keenly noticed that his "inspiration" ability as an occultist was activated again.

In view of the previous knowledge of the connection between Space Gate and Sky City in this way, Xu Jiu still does not intend to suppress this feeling this time, but let it lead itself into a dream.

The surrounding environment gradually distorted, and the light in the room behind him melted away.

Open my eyes again.

Appearing in front of Xu Jiu's eyes is a long street paved with bricks and stones, which looks quite old, with broken houses on both sides, and its design style is completely different from that in Xu Jiu's impression. architecture.

Square, crooked, full of uncomfortable lines and angles.

Looking up, the bright Moon Wheel hangs in the sky, but with Xu Jiu’s sight falling, a trace of scarlet appears in the middle of the moon and it spreads continuously, finally becoming the impression of Xu Jiu again The scarlet blood moon seen above Sky City.

When Xu Jiu's gaze returned to the ground, under the bloody moon gauze, new changes appeared in the strange environment.

Although the houses on both sides of the street are still there, a large number of broken weapons and monster corpses have appeared inside and outside, as if they were there from the very beginning, but Xu Jiu hadn't noticed it before.

Just as Xu Jiu was surprised by the changes in the surrounding scene, the silhouette that appeared on the other side of the street attracted his attention.

A distance of several tens of meters, Xu Jiu, by the moonlight, barely saw that he was a very tall man with long white hair, even half a head taller than Xu Jiu.

Compared with the surrounding environment, the appearance of this silhouette is extremely abrupt.

She stood on a street corner and looked at Xu Jiu's location, seeming to be looking at the latter.

Through the characteristics displayed by the other party, Xu Jiu almost immediately thought of the woman Zhao Mingyi mentioned one after another in his notes.

There is no doubt that the other party is inextricably linked with the ceremony of the moon crown sect.

Without any hesitation, Xu Jiu stepped forward to check the situation, but before he ran out too far, dozens of curled tentacles suddenly rushed out of the shadow on the corner of the street. silhouette Wrap it in.

After a short pause, the scene ahead gradually becomes blurred.

Like paint scattered in the water, it blends into an indistinguishable light and shadow.

This is the end of the "inspiration" time.

Awakening in the wicker chair, Xu Jiu took back the two city models and recalled his previous experience. He became more and more sure that there must be a certain connection between Sky City and seabed city, as well as Youxian sect and Lunar Crown sect. So it is.

At the beginning, the secluded sect believers in the seabed city recovered from the ceremony, but they were prevented by themselves, and the amethyst was forcibly taken away. Looking back at the holy grail and the blood stored in the ruins of the sect of the moon crown...

Xu Jiu can foresee that the process of finding Sky City will never be easy.

I'm afraid I have to deal with Zhao Mingyi's former pioneers "companions".

"It's really troublesome..."

Turning on his side, Xu Jiu looked at the blessing that had returned to its original shape in his arms, and patted its stomach, feeling bored. Said the voice.

......

Xu Jiu, who was on vacation, slept in after a long absence.

It wasn't until the 2nd day that the sun reached my ass through the window and barely got up.

Fortunately, the movie is one o'clock in the afternoon, and Xu Jiu has plenty of time.

Take off the lining of the combat uniform made of alienated animal leather, put on a black hoodie with a fox head reflected on the back, loose straight-leg pants with a pair of soft sneakers, and Xu Jiu rides Get on the motorcycle and take Fu Ling to one of the few entertainment cities in Wushan Gathering Point.

Yes.

Although it is close to wasteland and sometimes be visited by alienated beasts, Wushan Gathering Point is, at any rate, a small city with a population of close to 500,000 and is still growing. It is itself a distribution center for a large number of mobile cities. .

Therefore, there is no shortage of facilities in the gathering point, but Xu Jiu has never actually walked in in the past.

The weather is not bad, even if the overlapping buildings cannot be fully illuminated by the sun, most areas in the entertainment city are still covered by sunlight, and the roads can be seen everywhere. .

Stopping the motorcycle, Xu Jiu took Fu Ling to the location given by Vanessa, and soon found him in front of the cinema.

One thing I have to admit is that even with the dense crowds around, Vanessa wearing sunglasses is very outstanding in both body and temperament, which can be seen at a glance.

It's just that Xu Jiu, who is used to the image of Vanessa wearing an AIB uniform, is unexpectedly strange.

Miwhite's high-necked sweater, covered with a slim long windbreaker, rarely put on a pair of shoes with short heels, that head shows brilliant golden long hair in the sun. No longer tied into a high ponytail, but simply tied a hair band behind the neck, leaving two strands hanging on the cheeks in front of the forehead.

When Xu Jiu was looking at Vanessa, the latter quickly noticed the existence of Xu Jiu based on apostle's intuition.

Quickly glanced at Xu Jiu's side, without saying hello, turned back and pretended that nothing happened.

Da~Da~

The steps were approaching, Vanessa pursed her mouth, and noticed that her left shoulder was patted, turned her head to look at nothing, but the familiar voice It sounded on the right side, turned around hurriedly, and saw a chubby orange cat face.

"If you continue to pretend that you don't know me, you won't be able to catch up with the beginning of the movie."

Xu Jiu passed the milk tea in her hand to Vanessa, said with a smile.

"I didn't see it just now...Let's go, there are only ten minutes left to start."

Vanessa, who still wants to struggle, sees Xu Jiu With his expression, he gave up the argument, took off his sunglasses and put it in his pocket, took the milk tea, and the two walked side by side to the cinema, leaving behind a group of men who had just bought snacks, hesitated in the vicinity, and are now beating their chests.

Vanessa’s choice of movies is said to be inspired by materials from the past.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the era in which the relics of the peculiar area are located, but the cultural heritage left by the civilizations of this world. Since it is incomplete, many places have undergone later art processing.

This movie tells the story of the reincarnated characters of four gods. In order to save the world that is about to be destroyed, the source core must be retrieved from God World.

What attracts Xu Jiu is not the plot, but the characters.

There are a total of four protagonists, one is driving a motorcycle named "Somersault Cloud", a monkey with a hairy face and holding an iron rod, and a pig-headed man with big ears and big belly... ..

I don’t have to say any more about the rest. This movie can be called a combination of Chinese and Western in the true sense, with both styles blooming.

Leave aside, the scene where the mechanical gods who live in the "God World" completely stationary city style are beaten on the ground by the monkey is enough for Xu Jiu's pastime.

"You seem to be very interested in the words of Ancient God?"

When the movie comes out, Vanessa curiously asked, she has been sitting next to Xu Jiu, and naturally I can see that the latter is right That movie was very interested, not in the plot, but in some of the culture shown in the movie itself.

"It's okay, I have seen similar scenes in my dreams before, so I find it interesting."

Throwing the empty popcorn bucket into the trash can, Xu Jiu casually explained, and immediately seemed to have thought of something, and then said,

"It's just that in my dream, the monkey rides on a cloud, and the pig-headed man uses a Nine-toothed Rake. , Instead of the multi-barreled machine gun, he is still a timid and lecherous guy... By the way, that monk, his muscles are not so developed, he is like a remodeled person, in his dream he is a soft skin and tender meat, someone who can only speak loudly, but has lofty ideals."

"Are you sure you are talking about gods?"

Vanessa holds two boxes of movies in her arms The figures were all bought by Xu Jiu, and one of them was hers, saying that they were given to her as a souvenir.

Returning to the street outside the cinema, approaching the evening, the flow of people is getting denser, in midair has added a lot of propaganda balls that move back and forth, surrounded by short films of various movies and entertainment projects.

"Yeah, don't you think it looks like it?"

Xu Jiu looked at one of the haunted house projects and was quite moved.

"I recently looked at the gods enshrined in the temple due to the brain hunter incident. Without exception, they are all holy and noble images."

Recalling the materials I read, Vanessa said.

"That is to deceive the believers. It is not holy and noble. How can people believe it? Just like the movie we watched, all the protagonists in it are terrible. The beating role is changed to them, do you think there are audiences who like them?"

Xu Jiu casually said his thoughts, suddenly stopped, and looked back at the poster outside the cinema.

"The god is defeated, the image is broken..."

"What's the matter?"

Noting the strangeness of Xu Jiu, Vanessa asked suspiciously road.

"Nothing, think of something fun, related to the Mingshen Temple celebration...Go, I've decided, let's go to the haunted house!"

Xu Jiu looked at Vanessa blinked, laughing and walking forward.

"Are you afraid of ghosts?"

"Who told you I was going to be a tourist, I was going to be a ghost."

Turning back suddenly, Showing a "sinister" face, Xu Jiu pressed his throat and said,

"Make a bet, if you don’t scare ten people today, I will treat you to a big meal in the evening. How about you treat me to it? "

Vanessa shook her head helplessly, mourning for the tourists who are about to enter the haunted house, and speeding up her pace, trotting to follow.

Slightly loose long hair drifts with the oncoming spring breeze.
