It rained all day in the beautiful Utopia.

When Cheng Mo opened his eyes, he saw crystal raindrops sliding on the glass. After meditating cross-legged on the bed for a whole day, his body did not feel stiff, but it also did not give him the feeling of being alive and kicking after a good rest.

. He placed the double-barreled shotgun across his knees on the bedside table, jumped out of bed, walked to the window and began to observe the world in the rain.

In the wind and rain, the tulips all hung their heads, and their bright petals fell to the ground, giving people a feeling of wind and rain. Cheng Mo remembered that he was in a trance last night and dreamed that he was back in Star City, holding the tulip in his hand.

Carrying my daughter, I walked on the bustling Jiefang West Road.

In the dream it was a bright day.

The weather was warm, and the whole city was full of tourists. He took his daughter to eat ice cream. Her daughter's laughter was very sweet, and she held up the ice cream for him to take a bite. It was really a good dream, and it also gave birth to a feeling of silence that has never been known before.

He had felt homesick before. He originally thought he would not have such an overly poetic emotion, but now he does.

He had only been away for less than a month.

This is definitely a change that Cheng Mo himself did not expect.

"Is becoming a father really so different?" Cheng Mo thought to himself, "But you still have to be prepared not to go back."

Cheng Mo walked back to the bed and continued to rest with his eyes closed. In order to prevent others from prying into his secrets, he never tried to practice "Snake Pose Yoga" in the "Utopia". It was the same today. The difference is that now

He felt that even if he practiced in an ideal country, it would not be of much significance.

The sky quickly darkened. After nightfall, the rain did not stop and was still pouring.

When it was seven o'clock, Cheng Mo found a beige windbreaker in the cabinet and put it on, picked up the long-handled umbrella on the umbrella stand at the door and went out. For some reason, maybe it was the wind and rain outside the window, the light in the corridor was particularly bright.

It was dark. The sound of raindrops hitting the window lattice was endless, and the dense sound made the world that was usually clear to the ears even if it fell into darkness become blurred. He walked through the long ancient corridor, and the dim light illuminated the carpets and oil paintings, which made it particularly quiet.

, especially when walking past a portrait oil painting, the eyes staring into the distance seem to move with him.

The atmosphere is like a horror movie.

Even Cheng Mo felt a chill running down his spine. Without looking back, he walked straight to the door of the Winter Palace. He hesitated before opening his long-handled umbrella, and then walked into the dense rain while holding the black umbrella.

The garden was filled with a moist and fresh aroma. Cheng Mo no longer needed a map at this time, and the map of the Utopia appeared in his mind. Yesterday, he climbed to the top of Building 0 of the "Cosmic Thinking Garden" to observe, so that he could

Complete the three-dimensional map of the entire Utopia. Viewed from a high altitude, the Utopia is roughly a circle. The "Cosmic Thinking Garden" is at the center point. The Royal Palace is in the center of the north of the Cosmic Thinking Garden, along with the Winter Palace and the government town.

An equilateral triangle is formed in the north. The line connecting the Winter Palace and the government town cuts at a quarter of the ideal country like the Tropic of Cancer. Further north of this straight line is an endless vast forest, close to the white mist

It is surrounded by winding mountains. The approximately oval-shaped Swan Lake lies directly in the south, occupying almost half of the area in the south. Although it is called a "lake", it looks almost like the sea. There is also a gap between Swan Lake and Baiwu.

There are some raised hills, but the terrain is not very high, unlike the mountains in the north.

According to the map, most people live on the Swan Lake side, with relatively few people living in the forests and mountains north of the palace. The "Black Dream Bar" is in the southwest of the Universe Thinking Garden, where there is an area facing

The "Black Dream Bar" is located on the protruding triangular peninsula in the "Swan Lake". The "Black Dream Bar" is located on the tip of the triangular peninsula extending into the Swan Lake.

As for the father-in-law's Western-style palace, it is located in the southeast of the Universe Thought Garden, and is almost on the farthest east and west banks of the oval-shaped Swan Lake like the "Black Dream Bar".

It would take an hour to walk from the "Winter Palace" to the "Black Dream Bar" at a fast pace. According to Cheng Mo's estimate, it would be at least five kilometers. Raining would affect the speed to some extent, so Cheng Mo left the house at seven o'clock.

There is a stone road about two lanes wide around the lake. There is an old-fashioned bronze kerosene lamp style street lamp about ten meters apart on both sides of the road.

This light is of course a drop in the bucket in the dense night rain, but it does not have much impact on today's Cheng Mo. Occasionally you will encounter houses and strange houses along the way. For example, the "Winter Palace" leading to Swan Lake

There is a black triangular wooden house at the corner of the road. The whole wooden house has only one circular window. It looks like a sacrificial tower for some evil ritual.

When Cheng Mo walked past it with an umbrella, he saw the blood-red light shining through the circular windows. Even though he was a staunch atheist, he couldn't help but shudder.

Before walking to the peninsula, there is another building worth taking a look at. It is a medieval stone tower. The whole building has only a few small windows. There are arrow butts on the roof, and a cross stands guarded by the arrow butts.

The conical spire. Looking up, you can see knights in silver armor guarding behind those arrow stacks. I don't know who the Chosen One is who lives in such a strange stone tower.

Cheng Mo stepped on the stone road that had accumulated some water and continued walking along the Swan Lake toward the peninsula. In the distance, he could already see the light of the lighthouse in the swaying wind and rain. At this time, a red antique car honked its horn and came from behind.

Coming at high speed, Cheng Mo stepped aside and waited for the antique tractor pulling a square box to pass by with countless splashes of water before continuing to walk along the rolling waves of the Swan Lake.

The means of transportation in the Utopia are sky-high prices, and a stingy guy like Cheng Mo has not bought one for the time being. However, looking at the situation, Cheng Mo still feels the need to buy one.

At half past seven, Cheng Mo finally made it through the wind and rain and arrived at the isosceles triangular peninsula. There was only a windmill-shaped lighthouse on the peninsula, and a circular glass pipe extending into the lake at the sharp corner. That circular glass pipe

It was the entrance of "Black Dream Bar". When Cheng Mo walked to the top of the peninsula, there were several vehicles parked in the small square at the entrance of "Black Dream Bar", including horse-drawn carriages, cars, motorcycles, and the one that looked like a tractor.

Antique cars, these are rare models on the ground.

Four black special police officers wearing black suits and sunglasses stood in the drizzle, guarding the circular entrance with a height of only two meters with expressionless faces. The raindrops hit their bodies without a trace of immersion, just like drops of rain.

On the raincoat, it flowed down smoothly.

Cheng Mo held an umbrella with one hand and took out the brass life-saving whistle given by his mother-in-law from his pants pocket with the other hand, and walked towards the entrance. Unexpectedly, when he walked to the dark circular entrance, Hei Chao stood on the left and right.

However, the special police stretched out their hands at the same time and stopped him.

Cheng Mo flashed the whistle in his hand, but the two black special police officers showed no response. Cheng Mo's heart sank a little. He put away his long-handled umbrella and asked, "Do I need to put the umbrella away?"

One of the black special police officers said coldly: "Hang the lifeguard whistle around your neck."

Only then did Cheng Mo feel relieved. He threw the umbrella aside and put the brass whistle with a red rope around his neck. The two black special police officers immediately lowered their hands in front of him. Cheng Mo raised his feet and stepped on

After walking up to the circular glass entrance, we walked down the glass steps surrounding the entrance. After walking a few steps, the steps turned downward and completely entered the range where the glass pipes were submerged in the lake.

When he walked around the corner, everything in front of him changed. A three-masted sailboat, completely black and with lights on, appeared in front of Cheng Mo. Even though Cheng Mo was prepared for such a huge "ship in a bottle", Cheng Mo still

Feeling extremely shocked, he stopped on the suspended steps and held his breath and stared for a long time. The white sail full of holes and stains stood high in the air, and the black mast formed a dilapidated tower, which was inlaid with a watchtower.

The mast of the ship pierces the sky, and the sharp mast with a skull pirate flag can almost pierce the sky. A huge red rose blooms on the bow of the ship. The rose is so delicate and delicate, forming a strong contrast with the tattered white sails and the black hull.

The contrast reveals a strange sense of decadent elegance. If you look carefully, the hull is not only black, but mixed with mottled soot tones, which makes people feel decadent. There is a row of narrow strips on the top of the hull.

There were lights flickering on and off in the windows, and faint singing voices crawled along the lights like vines. There were also all kinds of strange people on the deck, some of whom couldn't even be considered human beings.

Viewed from a distance, the ship looks like a giant question mark, floating horizontally in the ocean. Dark clouds hang above it, and endless dark waves swirl around it.

It was so spectacular. Cheng Mo marveled in his heart. This sudden spectacle gave him a big impact. His calm feeling was drained away, leaving only anxiety, as if the end was slowly approaching. He looked around and found that he was actually

Standing on a completely unsupported glass staircase, there were turbulent waves under his feet, just like the waves in the depths of the sea. He walked forward slowly, as if he would fall into the bottomless sea at any time along with the stairs. As the glass

The stairs were getting closer and closer to the three-masted sailboat, and the perspective changed. Soon he saw the old black hull covered with barnacles, with vague white German writing - Fliegender Hollnder.

Cheng Mo saw the line of German clearly and felt as if he had been swallowed up by the shadow of the ship. Perhaps it should be said that he was buried alive.

"The Flying Dutchman" - this is a legendary ghost ship that can never return home and is destined to wander on the sea forever.

After a while, Cheng Mo calmed down the throbbing in his heart. He told himself that all this was just an illusion. He walked quickly through the long transparent glass steps like a corridor bridge and jumped onto the bow deck. There was no rotting smell.

Instead, the scent of roses mixed with a little salty smell came to his nose, making Cheng Mo feel a lot better.

He looked around and felt like he had entered the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean". There were a group of people in strange costumes standing on the deck. He saw Captain Hook wearing a three-cornered hat and an octopus with eight tentacles.

The female nurse, and the mermaid sitting on the edge of the boat. Cheng Mo was looking around curiously when a man wearing a medieval sailor uniform walked towards him quickly. He also had a brass lifeguard hanging around his neck and a

Arlecchino's Venetian mask, with its red mask and long nose, makes him look like the liar Pinocchio.

Under Cheng Mo's gaze, Pinocchio the sailor passed by Cheng Mo. As he passed by him, Pinocchio uttered Cheng Mo's familiar whisper: "Follow me."

Cheng silently followed Yan Funing, walking along the edge of the ship towards the stern, passing by the ship's house on the deck. In the open window was a medieval bar, with wooden tables and chairs, and a woman in medieval clothes holding a plate.

Traveling inside, there are two mermaids singing beside the boat on the other side.

Yan Funing, who was wearing a sailor's uniform, walked to the stern of the ship and opened a cover. There was a soft ladder hanging in the dimly lit narrow passage. He signaled Cheng Mo to get down, and Cheng Mo didn't hesitate. He climbed down first and waited for him to get down a section.

, Yan Funing also got out of the cabin and closed the cover.

After climbing about ten meters deep, a brightly lit corridor appeared in front of Cheng Mo. Cheng Mo stood in the corridor and waited for a while. Yan Funing also stood in the corridor. He did not speak, but crossed Cheng Mo towards the corridor.

Go to the end. Cheng Mo quickly followed, and soon the two of them reached the end of the corridor. Yan Funing pushed open the wooden door. The surging music leaked out instantly, the sound was deafening, the lights were dancing inside, and the shadowy people were shaking inside, making it difficult to see.

Clear scene.

Yan Funing said nothing and continued to move forward. Cheng Mo blinked and glanced at the dance floor where the demons were dancing. He couldn't tell who these people were. In short, most of them must be robots or clones. The two passed through

A modern bar, leaving from the back door of the bar, there is a long and narrow corridor. On the corridor is a row of restrooms for both men and women. At the end of the corridor is a downward spiral staircase. Going down the spiral staircase is the cabin where goods are piled.

At this time, they had walked from the bow to the stern, and then to the bow again. Yan Funing took Cheng Mo to the stern of the cargo warehouse and found a cover plate inlaid with a copper ring, and then Yan Funing

Jumped right in.

This is probably the bedroom of some low-level sailors. There are seven or eight beds densely packed, but there is no one or inhuman thing. It is strangely quiet.

Yan Funing found an oil lamp from the bedside, took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it, then turned to look at Cheng Mo. His eyes fell on the "lifeguard whistle" on Cheng Mo's chest, and then he said lightly: "

I also thought maybe you would need me to go out and pick you up."

Cheng Mo didn't respond, just looked at the cramped cabin, "What are you doing here?"

"This is a bug in the Utopia. No one can monitor it." Yan Funing paused and said, "Since you can come to Black Dream, you must already know the true face of the Utopia."

Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I know a little bit."

"This is the time. We must cooperate sincerely, otherwise we will not be able to escape." Yan Funing said in a deep voice.

"Do you think we can escape?" Cheng Mo asked.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Yan Funing replied.

Cheng Mo felt that even Yan Funing would not be able to see through the truth of the "Utopia" so quickly without anyone's prompting, so he asked expressionlessly: "Since we are sincerely cooperating, we shouldn't have any objections to each other."

Conceal it, how did you know the truth about the Utopia?"

Yan Funing immediately asked, "I should ask you this question."

Cheng Mo thought that judging from the date of Yan Funing's disappearance, it was impossible for him to know his relationship with Athena, so he said calmly: "I know someone here."
