Chapter 295 The city that exists in the legend
Edith nodded slightly and said in a clear voice: "Legend...in the ice and snow in the far north, in a corner of the world where the tentacles of civilization cannot reach, there is a city that believes in the stars. The residents there
They use supernatural power to build miracles that humans cannot imagine. They live under the stars and are isolated from the world."
Yes, yes, it seems that he found the right one, Dong Bin clapped with a smile.
This unclear and harsh statement, this always inexplicable narrative method that makes people feel soaring, is very similar to the Typhon family... Of course, the facts of the Typhon family are not as colorful as Edith's narrative -
-It is said that the Typhon family had a base here a long time ago, but due to the changes in the Dengying family in the past few years, all of them had to retreat to this base.
"However, these are just legends that people brag about when they are drunk. I have never seen that place..." Beard put down the wine glass and said with a smile, "Maybe that is the place where gods live... Why?
,Brother, are you also interested in that mysterious place?"
"I'm interested... Well, yes, you can say that... After all, I have an acquaintance who seems to be staying there as the boss. I just came to visit him." Dong Bin said with a smile, he was not lying, he
He and Constantine were not close friends, but they were acquaintances.
"Hehe, I'm such an interesting guy! Let's have another drink!" Beard seemed to think that Dong Bin was joking, so he picked up his third glass of whiskey, clinked it with Dong Bin, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Cheers." Dong Bin said helplessly, he is the conscience of heaven and earth. It is obvious that he is telling the truth, why don't others believe it?
"By the way, little brother, which sled team did you come with? Isn't it because of the climate problem that no new caravans have come to Icefield Town recently?" The beard's groggy brain stimulated by alcohol finally thought of it
This problem should have been realized long ago.
"Oh...I'm here." Dong Bin said casually and slapped the checkout money on the counter.
"Come here...this is not easy..." His brain was running a bit slowly under the influence of alcohol, but Beard quickly realized it. He woke up from the alcohol instantly and stared at it with wide eyes.
Dong Bin, "Come here? Come here? You...come here?"
Dong Bin smiled gently and patted his worn leather boots to show that he was not joking: "I walked for several days, and a bear took away my food bag on the road..."
The bearded man looked Dong Bin up and down in disbelief, and without saying a word, he stood up and rushed outside the bar.
"Are you scared by me?" Dong Bin didn't guess the meaning of the move of growing a beard, but he quickly realized it - "Probably to confirm whether there is a sled team coming..."
Edith lowered her head, looking at Dong Bin with her emerald green eyes through the falling golden hair.
Dong Bin felt inexplicably embarrassed. Although he didn't shout those words, he didn't lower his voice deliberately. Many people in the bar heard it, and many eyes were focused on him.
"What are you going to do in that city?" Edith's voice was very low, and it took Dong Bin a while to understand what she meant.
"I told you, go and help an old friend." Dong Bin said the truth without blushing and his heart not beating - telling Constantine the truth about the traitor could be considered a favor.
Edith nodded slightly, wringing her fingers as if hesitant.
The door of the bar was slammed open, and the beard with a few snowflakes on his face opened his eyes and said loudly - "What this kid said... is true! There is no sled team outside, not even the shadow of the sled."
No...he really came over!"
There was a commotion, and Dong Bin spread his hands expressionlessly: "I've already said it... Why don't you believe it..."
Someone pulled Dong Bin's sleeve. Dong Bin lowered his head and faced Edith's emerald eyes. The girl said seriously: "You're not joking...right? You really want to go there."
A legendary...city of stars?"
"Why should I lie? This is the purpose of my coming here." Dong Bin swore with a smile.
He originally wanted to keep a low profile, but changed his mind on the way here.
As far as he knew, the Typhon family had completely sealed itself off and was almost isolated from the world. Even if Constantine seemed to regard him differently, Dong Bin could not guarantee that the City of Stars would be aware of his arrival.
to then open the door for yourself.
I, who have no knowledge of the ice field, want to find the mysterious city of stars on the ice field of the Far North. It is almost impossible to rely only on my own strength without a team that is familiar with the ice field.
At this time, if you want to gather a suitable team, here is the only option.
This task is not an easy task. Finding a city that does not exist in the eyes of ordinary people is almost a joke. Even if I can promise a suitable price, it is difficult for me to gain people's trust with my new face.
So he chose to directly show his specialness and clearly expressed his confidence in finding the "City of Stars". Only in this way, and with a sufficient price, can he recruit a suitable team - if
If you are lucky, it is possible to find one or two wild extraordinary beings.
"There is something... you may be interested in. Come with me..." Edith pulled Dong Bin's sleeve and motioned for Dong Bin to follow her.
This girl... Dong Bin rejected the unrealistic speculation of "falling in love with herself" in the first second. He quickly switched his wandering thoughts to the normal channel - maybe, in the hands of Edith
There are clues to the City of Stars.
Edith carried Dong Bin to a relatively secluded single room. She took a deep breath and said seriously: "I have been to the City of Stars...at least, ten days ago, in the City of Stars."
Before dying."
"What?"
…
This is an ordinary but lively city.
On the streets, people are coming and going, and the noisy city is full of vitality.
However, in this ordinary hustle and bustle, there is a strange torrent flowing.
Occasionally, a hurried office worker bumped into someone standing in front of a glass showcase. He lowered his head and apologized vaguely, and continued to move forward in a hurry, while the person he bumped into
He just glanced at him lightly, his expression did not change at all, and his standing posture remained motionless - no one could notice that he had maintained this posture for several days, silently observing the surging crowd through the reflection of the glass, reading
With people's different thoughts.
On a certain street, a traffic policeman who was too conscientious stood silently in a small pavilion. He directed the traffic at the intersection with an expressionless face and never made any mistakes. But no one knew that he had already
After standing guard there for many days without rotation, people subconsciously forgot the appearance of this traffic policeman even after walking through this intersection.
On the open-air balcony of a certain high-rise building, there was a man reading a newspaper. He occasionally looked down at the crowded crowd below, and then continued to read the newspaper - the newspaper from last month, the newspaper he had read over and over again for a month.
Occasionally, a few birds or insects would pass by him, and then fall to their death without warning. Dozens of rotting corpses of sparrows had piled up at his feet.
…
They are all passers-by who belong to the Dengying family. These alien species, whose human emotions are almost non-existent, quietly occupy many corners of the city and monitor everything in the city. In the seemingly vibrant city, there are people who belong to passers-by.
undercurrent.
Few people know that those people who disappeared inexplicably in the city and could not even be found to report the crime, those who died unexpectedly on the streets, and then an unrelated gangster was arrested as a murderer... are all related to these incidents.
Almost everywhere related to "eyes".
The ability to read minds and extraordinary power allow them to control everything invisibly, causing everything that is detrimental to the Dengying family to be annihilated invisibly.
There are far more than one or two cities like this.
While ordinary people are unaware and even look forward to becoming a "transcendent" like a passer-by, the power of passers-by has quietly penetrated into many big cities.
They are all pretending to be ordinary, they are all waiting... for the moment when the final plan comes.
"Even I... felt a chill from the bottom of my heart."
Yiyi looked at the passerby who was reading the newspaper on the rooftop from a distance, and shook her head slightly. She was a false god, a supernatural creature created by the Dengying family. She was of the same lineage, and even had higher abilities in terms of personality, allowing her to find out this person.
Zhang opened a loophole in the "investigation network" covering the entire city and sneaked into it.
Only he and the Gray Wing King knew that the significance of their coming to this city, in addition to realizing their common wish, was also an equally important one——
This was the first human city to be dominated by passers-by, and passers-by regarded this place as an important base - for this reason, a batch of important data backups were transported to the city's library for preservation.
Yiyi didn't know what the information would be, but she felt that she needed to get access to the important information about the Dengying family.
Maybe it contains the truth that she has been looking for but never really learned——
Yiyi murmured to herself: "Only the God of Machinery knows the ultimate end of this planet, but he will not tell me... He once told three people the truth. Now, only one of those three people still remembers the truth.
The darkest fate of this planet... too much evidence has been covered up by time, and I can't restore the truth about the annihilation of civilization from the fragments in the gaps in history. So I am destined to come here, and I must know the truth——
That’s why I was born, and why the Dengying family spent hundreds of years trying to create me!”
The girl's figure gradually disappeared in the halo of the morning light. She whispered in a singing voice: "When the oldest weirdness is forgotten, history becomes a forgotten legend. Among the stars, the sight of the ancient past is cast.
, the nightmare dormant on this planet has lasted for countless epochs..."
