AE86 accelerated in a straight line and rushed towards the entrance of the spiral avenue like a sharp sword.
Leaving the entire 0326ERT far behind. Zhinao Ai couldn't help but laugh and said: "The master must have been a racing driver before."
"Maybe." The faster the car goes, the slower the scenery becomes. The elongated light and shadow seemed to stir up the tentacles of his spirit, prolonging Wu Chen's thinking. The unity of matter and spirit is Wu Chen's high-dimensional ability. At the moment when the speed of the car reached the limit of land travel, Wu Chen blinked lightly. The perspective of the spiritual body that bloomed in an instant, although it was short-lived and fleeting, was enough to make Wu Chen feel at ease. Because this brief moment confirmed that Wu Chen's high-dimensional abilities, which had been disabled due to the drying up of the mental power of the small universe, were continuing to recover.
It was this moment of blooming that allowed Wu Chen to see the hidden truth.
Applying the brakes lightly, the AE86 stopped at a constant speed at the entrance of Spiral Avenue. Wu Chen opened the door and got out of the car, walking towards the empty toll station.
This is the second toll station Wu Chen has seen.
When you finish running the 404 Road of Destruction, there is also a two-way toll station. By paying 1 coin, you can successfully cross the bridge and arrive at the Broken Brotherhood (Science Fiction Department) Entry and Exit Center.
Therefore, the toll station built at the entrance of the Spiral Avenue is obviously specially designed for the upper, lower, and middle ground spirals. The planar geometric structure of the entire quadruple spiral is actually a shrinking concentric spiral. Just as when passing through the entry-exit center, Wu Chen could clearly feel the presence of the protective mask. Similarly, when arriving at the Zhongdi Spiral Avenue toll station, Wu Chen clearly felt a more powerful protective light shield.
It is almost certain that this is the second protective mask belonging to the Mid-Earth Spiral. In this way, at the junction of the middle earth spiral and the highland spiral, there is a third layer of protective light mask belonging to the highland spiral. This is also consistent with the "memory lithography" released from the tip of the spiral from high to low at the end of the erasure day. From the perspective of the guardian's memory, it is obvious that the closer to the tip of the spiral, the more "deep" the memory is.
So it's obvious. The closer you get to the tip of the spiral, the stronger the shielding mask becomes.
"Aye, another important reason for participating in the Spiral Tip 24 Hours Team Endurance Race and completing the race is to make the memory of the 'Guardians' more profound"? "Wu Chen expressed his inner feelings.
"The master has also guessed it." Ai said the result of the fuzzy calculation: "The Spiral Tip 24-hour team endurance race is currently a player in the lowland spiral belt. There are only a few players who are allowed to enter the middle ground, the highlands, and even reach the tip of the spiral. One of the ways. Normally, the toll station in front of you is not open to lowland players."
"I understand." Wu Chen activated the empty gate 003 as he spoke. Accompanied by flickering light and shadow, the human-computer interaction interface lights up with delayed light spots.
"Please insert the VIP card." The unchanging AI synthesized voice sounded.
Wu Chen took out the campus card he carried with him and inserted it into the card reader.
"Please choose to pay the toll." The AI synthesized voice machine prompted.
"Huh?" Ai Yi's voice suddenly sounded from the watch: "Why is there an option for tolls?"
"This is the secret of learning from the past." Wu Chen clicked on the "Squad Pass" in the middle item and paid the full amount of 99 coins.
After completing the payment, the human-machine interface immediately unlocks the gate: "Please pass."
"Wait a minute." Wu Chen rushed to the gate AI and said: "I also want a 'private pass'."
"Where do you want to go?" The voice of the gate AI seems to be a little different.
"Where do you want me to go?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.
"Okay." The gate AI showed another payment screen: "Please pay the toll."
This time it’s still 99 coins.
After Wu Chen completed the payment, the gate AI said again: "Please wait a moment."
Accompanied by a low card reading sound, an ancient receipt was spit out from the gate: "Please take your receipt."
"Thank you." Wu Chen thanked him politely.
"Thank you, guest." The human-machine interface slowly disappeared.
Zhinao, who had never had a chance to speak again, finally couldn't help but ask: "Master?"
"We'll talk about it later." Wu Chen smiled and took off the receipt and kept it carefully.
When Wu Chen returned to AE86, the convoy arrived soon.
"Take Gate 3." Wu Chen drove the AE86 to lead the way.
"Yes." The female riders lined up to pass.
Behind the slowly opening alloy gate is the spiral avenue leading to the Middle Earth.
"Normally, the player only needs 1 coin to pass. But if the owner chooses to pass as a team, he has to pay 99 coins." Zhi Nao scanned the spiral avenue behind the gate on his own: "They are all this avenue..."
"Obviously not."
Before Wu Chen could finish his words, the seemingly peaceful time and space suddenly shattered like lenses. The sharp fragments stretched like whirlpools and turned into a deep space-time passage.
"This is the true meaning of brokenness." Wu Chen drove the AE86 and passed through this time and space tunnel safely.
"So, like the Eclipse Sky Bridge, this is also a 'shortcut' set up by a certain brotherhood member?" Zhinao thought of a possibility.
"Whether he is a member of the Brotherhood or not, we are not sure yet." Wu Chen put the "ticket" into the glove box: "Try to see if you can find any clues."
"As you command, my master." Intelligent Brain brought the data collected while passing through the time and space tunnel into the digital model of the Broken City that has been under construction. Soon, a clearer broken city appeared, and the brain was displayed on the front window of AE86: "Oh my god..."
"I have just understood some of the secrets of 'memory lithography'." Wu Chen was afraid.
"Master, the cruelty of Broken City is far beyond our imagination." Zhinao also felt fear for the first time.
"Well, that's true." It's like going back in time, and when the time and space tunnel turns back into a vortex of fragments and returns to its original state, Gate No. 3 is slowly falling behind 0326ERT.
"Master? In my time, on some rural roads that could bypass the regular toll booths, people often occupied the road privately to collect tolls. The method was simple and crude. A broken tractor or even a piece of rotten wood could charge 5- The fee ranges from 10 yuan." Lin Baiyu smiled and asked: "Is this similar to the nature of gate 3 just now?"
"Well, pretty much the same." Wu Chen was in a good mood.
The rich protective light made Wu Chen, who entered the spiral belt of the Middle Earth for the first time, feel an unprecedented sense of warmth.
It seems that the "tiny fragments" accumulated under the skin and clogged in every pore are melted by the warmth. This is not Wu Chen's illusion. In the team channel, female riders couldn't help but sigh similarly.
"Master, what is melting in the pores?" The unique past and the special alien ecology made Serena feel particularly strong.
"Perhaps it can be called 'crumbs of memory'." Wu Chen said a flash of inspiration: "It is the remnants of broken memories, and also the remnants of the old world."
"Is this the so-called plot clue?" Serena expressed her understanding.
"No, it should be called a plot..." Wu Chen couldn't describe it at the moment: "It's like a proof of existence that goes against the 'flash point of memory'."
"Contrary to the 'flash point of memory'..." Serena thought thoughtfully: "The reminiscence of the plot?"
"It seems very close." Wu Chen nodded lightly.
"Master, the player with the 26th pick also passed Gate 3." Zhi Nao projected the real-time game results on the screen: "Although almost all the Hummer H2 Super Bigfoots were lost, the 'Otwa Creepers' are still intact."
"So, all the harvested Hummer H2 Super Bigfoots have become tolls." Wu Chen asked again: "Where are we ranked now?"
"Still within the top ten." Zhinao listed the team's ranking.
"Stay alert and don't worry." Wu Chen said.
"Yes, Master."
