The Metropolis Tower, which is red and white, is 332.6 meters high, 8.6 meters higher than the Eiffel Tower. Construction started in June 1957 and took three years to complete. It is the world's tallest...
On the large observation deck of a two-story structure more than 100 meters above the ground, the instructor is using a soft voice to explain the history and detailed information of this 300-meter-high iron tower to tourists.
However, not many tourists listen to these boring information. When they come to such a high place, the first thing to do is to go to the window and look at the vast city buildings, or go to the second floor to rent a handheld telescope to see more clearly.
If you are thirsty or tired, you can go to the cafe to taste milk, coffee and snacks. Occasionally there will be music programs on special stages. Before leaving, go to the second floor to pay homage to the Iron Tower Grand Shrine and take away some souvenirs to prove that you have been there. .
In a quieter corner, Chiba Makoto and Maya, who were wearing their iconic sunglasses that almost covered half of their faces, stood by the window, looking at the densely packed buildings below, as if they were all covered in clouds when they climbed high.
Maya leaned close to Chiba Cheng's ear and said in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear: "It's not high enough here. It will be better to go to the special observation deck 250 meters high later. There are landings on all sides." The large glass windows allow you to overlook the entire metropolis, and you will really feel like you are far away from the world. The weather is good today, and you should be able to see the counties surrounding the metropolis, as well as Mount Fuji. You will definitely..."
Maya paused as she spoke, because she thought of climbing high and looking far away. For Chiba Makoto, not to mention these two hundred meters, even the new iron tower under construction, which is said to be more than six hundred meters high, is Nothing unusual.
"I forgot, you...have been to higher places." Maya said a little embarrassedly. She originally wanted to take Chiba Cheng to travel and relax, but Chiba Cheng didn't want to leave the metropolis. Said, but Maya knew that Chiba Makoto was worried about the Kirialoid people.
Therefore, the two of them wandered around the metropolis to make up for the regret that they had not had much time to date since they got together. The reason why they came today was because Chiba Cheng accidentally mentioned that he had never been there, so Maya immediately pulled him He came here to play.
"I have been to higher places, but at that time I didn't have the mood or time to appreciate the high-altitude scenery. It was impossible to stand and enjoy it as leisurely as now." Chiba Makoto told the truth. He has been there twice so far. I was in space for the first time, but none of it was leisurely and comfortable. It was all tense.
"Then let's go to the special observatory now and see enough at once. Let's go." Maya excitedly took Chiba Makoto's hand and walked to the elevator, but before she reached the elevator, she heard people around her talking. :
"I heard the victory team is here."
Tourist B next to him was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What? Really?"
Another tourist C immediately said: "It's true. When I just came up, there were three people in the same elevator as them, wearing uniforms and armed with guns."
Tourist B couldn't help but ask: "But why did the Victory Team come here? Is it for sightseeing?"
Visitor A guessed: "Isn't there a monster?"
Visitor C immediately denied this speculation: "With so many people, a monster has been seen for a long time. And if the monster appears, the victory team should fly a plane to fight the monster. How did it come up?"
Visitor D, who heard the sound and joined in, also participated in the discussion: "Yes, if a monster appears, this place must have been evacuated immediately."
Tourist E who was passing by asked: "Then why are they here?"
"..." The other people all fell silent, unable to answer this question unless they asked the victory team who was taking the elevator to a higher place now.
While Chiba Makoto and Maya stopped to listen, more and more people on the observation deck knew that the Victory Team was coming, and no one could care about admiring the scenery. They were talking and speculating about the Victory Team coming here with their family or people around them. s reason.
Although they don’t know why the Victory Team came here, everyone feels that something must have happened, and it is probably related to monsters and space people. Otherwise, why would the Victory Team come here? In the eyes of the public, the Victory Team is a global unlimited mission team. , equivalent to those who fight monsters, just like those who study computers will definitely know how to repair computers, and those who study mechanics will enter factories.
As more and more people join the discussion, the speculations become more and more outrageous. More than one person has speculated whether there are aliens from the universe at the special observation deck 250 meters away. Is the victory team going up to fight the aliens from the universe?
As a result, the smart man already wanted to leave. Although the scenery was good, life was more important. If there were space beings, monsters or something like that, there was nowhere to run in such a high place.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. He is not afraid of ten thousand but just in case... A series of thoughts supported many people to quickly walk to the elevator, wanting to leave here and return to the ground. However, the herd mentality makes some people's Leaving makes the wavering people want to leave, and the departure of these two groups makes the remaining people waver.
But there are only three elevators in this high tower, and they are all in operation. Even if they are all parked at the Grand Observation Deck, it is impossible to bring so many people back to the ground at once. So after an elevator arrives and opens the door, the people inside are When you go out, people outside want to squeeze in.
You pushed me, causing the elevator entrance to be crowded. The staff hurriedly came over to avoid any accidents. After learning the reasons why people wanted to leave, they quickly contacted the supervisor and informed them that they had not received any notification that monsters or aliens had appeared. So please don’t panic and line up in an orderly manner...
Chiba Cheng and Maya witnessed how this place changed from a peaceful sightseeing place to a mess, all just because the victory team came.
No monsters were seen, and no aliens from space were heard at the special observatory. Even the news about the victory team's arrival came from a tourist.
This caused agitation, causing most people to rush to leave the Grand Observation Deck. The remaining small number of people did not join the queue to grab the elevator. It was not because they were not afraid or suspicious, but because there were too many people squeezing the elevator and they were conscious of it. I couldn't get it, so I stood on the outside and watched.
"How could they... just... be like this?" Maya looked at the chaos in front of her in disbelief. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really couldn't believe that humans would believe the rumors so lightly. No, This is not a rumor at all, but random speculation.
"Because this is human beings." Chiba Makoto took out his mobile phone, found Munakata's number, and when he dialed it, he stepped back towards the viewing window that was crowded just now but was now empty. Maya stepped forward step by step. Follow to stay away from the slightly crazy crowd.
