"Then who are we?" the male player asked.
"Maybe it's not just us, all the VIP players who are thrown here are the 'memory' of the broken world. They are used by the guardians to reshape the world and fight against destruction." Wu Chen's personal experience not long ago made Wu Chen realize something. .
"Since he is the guardian of the world, he should be omnipotent. Why does he need to use our memory, his own memory?" The male player was puzzled.
"Perhaps, like us, it was erased." Bailiyan mentioned a possibility.
"Maybe." Wu Chen sighed.
"That bridge in front..." The female player couldn't hide her excitement.
"Leading to the Land of Salvation, the Broken City." Wu Chen has confirmed it.
"What are you waiting for?" Bailiyan was in a good mood.
The four of them were back on the road.
Pay one coin at the toll station and cross the bridge smoothly.
As expected. There is also a toll booth behind the bridge. One coin is required for entry and exit. The toll station integrates many functions such as service area and observation deck. In the center is a skyscraper as tall as a cloud, reaching into the sky - the "Broken Brotherhood (Science Fiction Department) Entry and Exit Center".
A fraternity building. Players entering and leaving Broken City must register here.
After all, it is for the science fiction department. Smart office, convenient and fast. There was no one in the lobby on the first floor.
As soon as Wu Chen stood firm in front of the terminal, the human-computer interaction interface was quietly activated: "Please insert your VIP card."
Needless to say, the campus card is Wu Chen’s VIP ID card.
Read successfully, confirm the information. Smart terminal, immediate release: "VIP identity confirmation, access permit."
Wu Chen's exclusive mark - "Skeleton Grip" - appeared on the campus card spit out from the terminal. Also known as the "Bone Picker's Crest" and the "Hand of High Dimension".
It was just as Wu Chen expected. Just like the red phone booth keychain that can magnify itself and is die-cast asylum coins, the campus card in Wu Chen's hand is also one of the shelter's creations. After all, it was the "Purple Gold Rescue Gift Package" carefully selected by Master Ling for Wu Chen. Campus cards, 2B pencils, and keychains are all extraordinary things.
Bailiyan and the player couple also successfully passed the level.
After getting back their respective vehicles, four people and three cars lined up to enter the customs. When passing through a skyscraper, you can clearly feel the fluctuations of the protective shield. Perhaps, in addition to helping players pass the level, the skyscraper is also the protective barrier of the Broken City. It can resist the erosion of annihilation to a certain extent. Maybe.
"Wow -" Just as he could see things, he heard Bailiyan, the car in front of him, exclaim.
As far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of skyscrapers, scattered in height and densely packed together. From the outside to the inside, from low to high, spiraling upward, piercing the sky. Gathered into a super metropolis.
The outline of the Broken City is like a large conch standing upright with its spire pointing to the sky.
Surrounding the building complex of the sea snail, you can clearly see four densely arranged and spiraling upward "spiral building belts", also known as the "spiral zone". The reason why the distinction is so obvious is because the architectural styles in the spiral belt are completely different. If you identify it carefully, you will find that it is: fantasy, fantasy, magic, and science fiction, the four series of iconic architectural zones.
The floating islands and mirages in the fantasy world; the steam towers and Gothic buildings in the fantasy world; the obsidian castle and the Elf World Tree in the fantasy world; the skyscrapers and anti-gravity space in the science fiction world... Four series of buildings, intertwined in spirals, spiraling upward , converging into the tip of the city that reaches into the sky. There are also airships, spaceships, flying swords, flying cars, flying horses, flying carpets... all kinds of aircraft are dizzying, passing through them.
This is what the players of Broken City call legendary: "Fourth System Spiral".
The four spiral belts perfectly illustrate the collision and conflict of four civilizations. Fantasy, fantasy, magic, and science fiction, the boundaries of the four major civilizations are not even distinguished by an entire street or a certain skyscraper. Even if the main body of the building is the same, the architectural styles on the upper and lower floors, on the same floor, and on the left and right are completely different.
What's more, Wu Chen actually discovered that there were adjacent men's and women's bathrooms on the same floor of the skyscraper. One side is steampunk, the other side is cyberpunk. There are also ancient immortals and star civilizations separated by a wall. They are distinct from each other and yet they coexist in opposition. At first glance, there is an indescribable sense of conflicting beauty.
"Raise the file." Wu Chen hit the nail on the head. Is it possible that a broken city can accommodate all the VIP players in the shelter!
"Yes, that's it." Bailiyan also thought about it: "The four spirals are the circles of influence composed of players from the four series."
"It's also a plot line." Wu Chen added.
"That's right, using landmarks (buildings) as carriers and composed of VIP players from their respective factions, there are four main plot lines: fantasy, fantasy, magic, and science fiction." Bailiyan couldn't hide his excitement.
"There are far more players than the four series." The male player was puzzled: "Where are the remaining players?"
"It was probably annexed by the Four Elements." Bailiyan replied.
"No wonder it's called Broken City." Wu Chen thought more deeply: "The city is made up of fragments of various plot worlds."
"Fragments of the world." Bailiyan grasped the key point.
Wu Chen sighed; "I think I know where we are."
"Where?" the male player asked hurriedly.
"The back side of the starry sky in the shelter." Wu Chen thought for a moment and said, "It can be regarded as the system's recycling bin."
The meaning of the system recycle bin is not difficult to understand. All files deleted by the computer system will first be stored in the Recycle Bin. Just click "Empty Recycle Bin" to clear the "junk documents" at once. Therefore, for the entire world of Sanctuary, the Broken City is the gathering place of "garbage". Or it is called a gathering place of "negative equity". All VIP players who have exhausted their resources are transported here, waiting to be cleared or retrieved for the final judgment of fate.
It is different from the usual garbage dump. This world, abandoned by the architect and ready to be erased at any moment, also has a guardian who is unwilling to fail - a huge shadow in the void. Therefore, the architects continue to erase, and the guardians continue to rebuild. Fight tenaciously and never give up. The fight with each other and the stalemate also allowed the VIP players who were trapped here to find a glimmer of hope.
Just work hard, regroup, and be strong enough. It is no longer viewed as an undesirable “negative equity” for a shelter. Then you can turn over and return to the shelter.
As an architect of shelter. The omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent "Master Zero". Fighting against it is like a cricket shaking a tree or a mantis using its arm as a chariot. The huge shadow in the void of the World Guardian, its power continues to fade. I can’t even “remember” what the world was like before. The world must be reshaped with the help of players' memories.
This is also the "law of symbiosis" between the plot world and the players.
Only by becoming the "memory" of the Broken City and being remembered by the huge shadow in the void can the player integrate into the spiral plot world in front of them and not be completely forgotten, let alone be frozen on the 404 roundabout highway.
In other words, every player who has completed the 404 Road of Destruction and broken the plot is a memory of the Broken City. When necessary, the memory can be read by the guardian and used to reshape the world.
This means. Every player who enters the Broken City must first do their best to not be forgotten by the world. Always have it, proof of existence.
How to prove that a person exists.
It makes a difference after all.
VIP players, no novice guide. Survival depends on your own exploration.
Fortunately, the players who successfully reached the Broken City were definitely not Wu Chen and others. For science fiction players, the first "Free Port Zone" they arrive at after entering the country is the border land belonging to the Broken City. Commonly known as "the edge of the rift". The plot here is extremely "fragmented". Fragments from different plot worlds crush, collide, shatter, and are annihilated with each other, happening again all the time. Success or failure occurs in an instant.
When I first arrived, the novelty was better than anything else. Only with time can Wu Chen understand what "fragments" are.
Roughly speaking, "fragments" refer to the broken plot world and the branch plots carried by the players. For the guardian of the Broken City, the huge shadow behind the void is a "memory of existence".
Fortunately, Freeport belongs to the science fiction faction, and all creations, big and small, come from the science fiction world. There is no conflict or rejection with Wu Chen and others.
Free movement within the free port.
How to settle down is a top priority.
Compared with Bailiyan and others who are trying their best to collect all useful information through the vehicle-mounted smart terminal. Wu Chen's car-mounted smart brain has already started: "Master, we have located 'Mocha Coffee House, No. 9 Nathan Road, 1st Floor, Building A, 3C'."
"Where is this?" Wu Chen looked at the large central control screen.
"The gathering place for players is related to the plot." Zhi Nao Ai brought up the relevant information of the Mocha Coffee House and continuously displayed it on the large central control screen.
