Chu Yunsheng has seen many strange and weird things in his life, but the weirdness he saw today was his first time. He worked hard to cross the transition layer, and even used the few black energy to finally break through. After entering the blue bubble, I never expected that the familiar Nanjing city was still inside the bubble!
The dazzling signs and road nameplates with the word "Nanjing" on both sides of the street clearly reminded him that this was the urban area of Nanjing where he had just arrived.
The difference is that the Nanjing city here is very "clean", with no human figures, no floating objects, and not even an ant on the ground. It is like a dead city, a city that has been dead for countless years, with only cold buildings and streets. And the sky was dark and unclear, and there seemed to be no wind.
Chu Yunsheng glanced behind him subconsciously, and suddenly became even more surprised. Where were the shadows of blue bubbles? It's just a long, deep street leading to the edge of the city. The edge area looks exactly the same as the outside.
It took more than a minute for Chu Yunsheng to turn his head around. He immediately turned around and ran towards the edge again along Shenchang Street. He followed the same method and entered the depths of the edge again without using the black energy. With his body alone, he resisted the tearing feeling and passed through the transition layers. He didn't stop until an equally familiar blue bubble appeared in his sight again!
The same city, the same structure, and the same blue bubble, but one mile away are two identical but different worlds!
Chu Yunsheng immediately thought of the legendary counter-world, a world he had always heard about but had never seen.
There are no living things, no people here, even the plants are dead. He is the only breathing creature in this city and even in this world!
The black energy is not enough to support Chu Yunsheng to cross all the transition layers again and enter the new blue bubble. Otherwise, he really wants to verify and see if the blue bubble here is the original Nanjing city?
Chu Yunsheng had to withdraw from the edge first and wait for the black energy to regroup. Using this time, he took out the military off-road vehicle from the Wu Na Talisman. He walked around the deserted city in search of anything suspicious, but always found something.
Everything seems dead here, the food rots into dust and the water pools have long since dried up. The fuel tanks in the gray vehicles on the roadside are also empty. There is no darkness outside, but there is no change in the sky that can tell the time. There is always a dim brightness, as if time has stopped at a certain moment forever.
In the clock shop behind the business building where he once entered the zero-dimensional space. Chu Yunsheng finally discovered that all the clocks stopped at the same date and time - a strange time and date, not today or recently, but the "future", a long, long time later.
He went to the train station again, but there was still no sign of anyone. Everything seemed to have been corrupted for countless years. A large gap would pop out with a light touch, and the debris inside would be petrified. , otherwise it will break if moved. It’s nothing like the ten days or so that have passed since darkness fell, at least a hundred years, or even a thousand years!
But Chu Yunsheng couldn't see even a single corpse anywhere, not even a shadow. How many years would have to pass before he could do this! ?
Chu Yunsheng panicked. Nowadays, very few things can make him really panic, but he still panicked. It was as if countless memory fragments rushed into his head like ancient times, and it seemed that years had passed through his invisible mind. The youth was taken away from the face, leaving behind ravines. It goes around and around, endlessly. He doesn't know how many years he has been "reincarnated" in the false monument? He was extremely scared that one day he would step out of the false monument, not one or two months later as expected. But tens of millions of years have passed, and everything has become ancient legends.
He is not afraid of passing away for tens of millions of years, nor is he afraid of being forgotten and becoming a legend. He is afraid that once the false monument is revealed, he will have to face the last hope Liu Li left for him to live - the death of his daughter and the truth!
Looking at those rotten and petrified things, Chu Yunsheng could almost see his own future: curled up in a forgotten corner of the world, rotting away numbly and ashen until death...
No! Absolutely impossible!
He was like an ostrich with his head buried in the sand. Refusing to recognize anything his eyes saw, he was like an irritated beast, wielding a flaming sword to chop all rotten things into pieces. Then he returned to the clock shop and chopped all the dazzling clocks into powder, leaving no one behind!
It seems that certain things will not exist in this way, at least you can deceive yourself, and at least you can still have the hope you can weave for yourself.
Sitting on a pile of debris, Chu Yunsheng kept smoking a slightly trembling cigarette, trying to control his emotions. He seemed to be holding a hope that could be shattered at the slightest touch, and kept telling himself never to give up. , must not be fooled by what he sees with his eyes, as long as it is not confirmed, he still has a chance, no matter how slim the chance is, he will not let it go.
The uninhabited dead city was very quiet, and any weak sound seemed particularly clear. On the ruins of the clock shop, under where he was sitting, the sound of the second hand moving suddenly came from the ruins. It was just a single sound, extremely weak, but very clear. exist.
Chu Yunsheng immediately pushed away the surrounding debris and found the source of the sound. It was an atomic watch that received wireless signals. But it was strange that any wireless device could not be used after the Dark Ages. He didn’t know where this atomic watch received it from. Signal? Moreover, after the sound of the second hand moving, it remained motionless for a long period of time relative to one second. It was not until a long time later that it moved again, and maintained this rhythm, moving once for each such time interval.
Its frequency was quickly familiar to Chu Yunsheng, and it was almost exactly the same as the frequency of the gravitational waves outside the blue bubble!
In other words, the world here still has time, its own time, time that is isolated from the outside world.
Chu Yunsheng seemed to have grasped the last straw. He looked at the time on the atomic watch and began to perform long and long calculations. However, this was an astronomical number, and the date on the watch had been repeated for who knows how long. Chu Yunsheng calculated for a long time but could not come up with an accurate number.
At this time, the second hand, minute hand and hour hand that had been moving silently overlapped on a line, both pointing to the 12 o'clock position. Chu Yunsheng suddenly felt a pure ice energy coming out of the ground, and the cold ice energy quickly absorbed all the energy. A world where buildings and even the sky condense into ice!
Cold, bitingly cold!
If it weren't for the protection of the Liujia Talisman and the cloak and suit, Chu Yunsheng had no doubt that he would be frozen into ice.
The sky has begun to change color, and there is a chilly light everywhere. The whole city seems to come alive in an instant. A voice keeps coming from a certain corner of the city——
Come on, come here!
Then, a figure and float floated from the edge of the city, as ethereal as a ghost, all floating in the direction of the sound.
Chu Yunsheng's heart moved, and he followed the ghostly figures and floats approaching the source of the sound. Maybe this was just a complex and realistic illusion.
He didn't go far when he saw an "acquaintance", or something that couldn't be called a person now, but a ghost.
It was the "butthole". It floated past him as if it hadn't seen Chu Yunsheng. Its eyes were full of confusion and yearning for the direction of the sound's temptation, as if there was a whole paradise there.
Chu Yunsheng became more and more surprised, and at the same time he quickened his pace. There was no doubt that although this may no longer be the world of fake monuments, there must be "people" on the other side of the voice.
The best way is to seize it and ask the doubts in your heart!
"Come on! Come here!"
That moving voice was always full of amazing temptation. If Chu Yunsheng hadn't been three-dimensionally stiff in the zero-dimensional space, he would have been captivated by it.
The urban area of Nanjing is very large, and it takes a long time to walk alone. However, no matter how far the journey is, you will eventually reach your destination, not to mention that Chu Yunsheng's speed is not slower than the figures floating back and forth.
In an open space, Chu Yunsheng saw a huge, ugly and twisted ice cave from a distance. The ice was not in a common solid state, but in an abnormal slimy state, constantly bulging and squirming, like a living creature.
All the ghostly figures and floats were tempted by its voice and rushed into the hollows of the ice cave. But within a moment, their frightened and painful faces were revealed under the high and bulging ice packs. .
"let me out!"
They struggled desperately, as if they had been tricked into a devil's cave and eager to break free, their twisted faces pressed tightly against the liquid ice.
But the ice cave is like a huge and indestructible cage. No matter how hard they struggle, it will not help. Once inside, no one can successfully break out!
Chu Yunsheng wanted to grab "Butthole" to prevent it from being fooled, but it plunged into the ice cave without hesitation.
When the last figure and the last floating figure got in, the ice cave's fatally seductive voice suddenly turned into a sinister and strange laugh, like a laugh at the deceived figure and floating float's stupidity, or like a groan of satisfaction.
But it soon discovered that there was actually a "person" who had not been fooled, and it immediately became extremely surprised!
This kind of surprise is no less than finding a living person in the morgue!
Chu Yunsheng didn't expect it to find him so quickly. He had already hidden himself very well. He was shielded by the Liujia Talisman and covered by his cloak and battle clothes. Logically speaking, he should be absolutely foolproof.
But now that he has been discovered, there is nothing to say. Either prepare to fight or prepare to escape, because this ice cave does not look like a good thing!
Things did not develop exactly as Chu Yunsheng expected. The bulging ice cave twisted its "body" and quickly wriggled into a ball, forming a huge head as high as a two-story building. Lantern-sized eyes stared at Chu Yun curiously. Without letting go, the big mouth three benches long was pursed in an exaggerated way. Two slender hands stretched out from the ears. One hand frowned the round chin and the long slit-like big mouth as if thinking, and the other hand He reached into the ice bag's head and pulled out the figures that struggled the most and made the most noise, then stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them.
"Well...let me think about it...you are different from them...well...you should also be a poor descendant lost in the Rainbow Bridge...well, it must be..."
