After feeling the hardness of her back, Lily slowly lowered her hands and legs until she was completely lying flat. She was finally sure that she was indeed on a strange platform that was somewhat elastic but invisible.

Then, Lily slowly sat up with the help of her hands. The first thing that caught her eye was the surprisingly big moon with three wheels in the sky.

Where can Blue Star see such scenery? Lily subconsciously opened her mouth.

"This is so beautiful..." Lily stood up and even wanted to get closer to the three bright moons.

But then, Lily felt that she had observed something hard to ignore out of the corner of her eye, and she immediately turned her head to the left, trying to confirm what she had seen.

Seeing this, Lily was so shocked that she couldn't help but take two steps back, and fell down onto this strange transparent yet elastic surface again.

It turned out that not far from Lily's eyes, there was a huge, indescribable dial. The shape of the dial was very similar to Big Ben, a landmark building in London, but it was larger than the Big Ben, which had a history of hundreds of years. This clock is more ancient and simple, even with a hint of decadence.

The entire dial is milky white, but Lily can't understand the characters used to mark the time. They look like square characters from the Xia Kingdom. Why are they square characters again?

The hands on the dial were also very strange... No, the hands didn't fit. Lily looked at them carefully and couldn't help but widen her eyes.

It was simply a queue of at most 12 and at least 7 wooden horses, forming a strange existence similar to hour, minute and second hands.

Although she didn't know why, Lily knew intuitively that those horses with flexible legs, cool posture when galloping, and flying hair were made of wood. Lily herself was confused by her sudden thoughts.

Whenever the "minute hand" or "second hand" intersects with the "hour hand", those wooden horses will regroup themselves, quickly split and regroup without destroying the time count, and form a new hour hand and minute hand. and the second hand, the cooperation is wonderful.

Outside the dial is a towering clock tower with extremely complicated patterns. Lily doesn't know how to describe its shape. Compared with the style of Big Ben, it lacks many familiar elements to Lily, but it reminds Lily of herself in the picture book. I saw an article describing tower-shaped buildings such as the Yellow Crane Tower and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the Xia Kingdom.

Looking along the structure of the clock tower, Lily suddenly raised her head again.

She almost forgot that she was still high in the sky, and there was a strange transparent surface under her feet. She really didn't dare to look down.

But this did not prevent Lily from sighing at what she had just seen. Who could build such a majestic miracle?

At least there was no such building in the human world that she knew of.

Such a building cannot be built by humans, Lily judged.

"Do gods really exist?" Lily found it difficult to accept.

Due to the special nature of the orphanage, in addition to the necessary reading and literacy for children in their early stages of education, the orphanage will also provide theology classes and teach the Bible to the children.

But Lily disliked theology courses the most. She didn't believe in the existence of God at all.

Lily thought while observing the towering and majestic clock tower in front of her that made people dare not breathe, while trying to stand up again. She couldn't just sit paralyzed like this. She had to find a way to figure out where she was.

Just as she stood up, Lily suddenly heard a melodious, indescribable bell sound that seemed to have been transmitted from ancient times to the present, echoing in the space where she was.

What followed was a terrifying tugging on her chest, which made her feel as if her heart, liver, and lungs were being violently pulled together.

She failed to maintain her balance and fell directly onto the transparent ground again. She covered her heart tightly with both hands. Her complexion gradually turned from red to black. No sound came out of her mouth. The subconscious kicking of her legs gradually weakened. She continued until her vision went dark and she lost consciousness.

At this time, in the far distance of the horizon where Lily could not see, a star suddenly flashed in this world, and dragged a long firefly, flying towards Lily like a space jump, and finally passed through Lily's hands on her chest. Then, it jumped out from behind Lily, circled back to Lily, and finally stopped at the back of Lily's hand, slowly disappearing.

The world suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a needle drop.

Suddenly, Lily opened her eyes suddenly and began to breathe air quickly and heavily. Her eyes were bloodshot and her head went blank.

"I...what's wrong with me?" Lily was a little confused.

However, the dull pain in her chest made her slowly regain her thoughts. She seemed to hear a melodious but timeless bell?

Then...then I felt like the organs in my chest were being pulled by something...

Lily shuddered and stopped thinking about it. It was a very bad experience, and Lily really didn't want to think about it any more.

Taking a slow and deep breath, Lily wanted to sit up again.

Until now, she has not even been able to move even one step on this platform by her own will... This world is too unfriendly.

Well.......!!!

A horn suddenly attracted Lily's attention, causing her to subconsciously look around to find the source of the sound. This also made Lily finally realize that the space she was in seemed different.

The majestic ancient clock tower in front of us disappeared and was replaced by what seemed to be a battlefield.

The reason why Lily judged it was a battlefield was because Lily saw two armies on the ground in the distance wearing armor of completely opposite colors.

Everyone in the army on his right was wearing uniform red armor. Even the armor and robes of the war horses were all bright red. But the troops on his left were all blue, a blue that was a little darker than the color of the sky.

"If Stephenson were here, he would definitely be able to tell me what red and blue these are." Such an idea floated through Lily's mind.

Then Lily saw that at the head of the two opposing armies, there was a general-like being riding a tall horse and wearing armor, who came to the front of the team alone. They pulled out the long swords at their waists at the same time, raised them high at the same time, and finally pointed at them at the same time. With the forward swing, the movement was completed exactly, just like the two people in the mirror.

Lily looked at this scene and suddenly felt a strong sense of violation in her heart. But before she could think about the source of the sense of violation, she saw soldiers from both armies launching a collective charge. In an instant, a "sea of ​​red and blue" "They merged together, no longer distinguishing each other.
