As the "vehicle" lying horizontally like a tree trunk dives under the gray matter miasma, losing the most conspicuous human element nearby, the confrontation between the "giant god general" and the "mountain demon king" seems to be suddenly out of balance between heaven and earth.
.
The sky was stained with ink, and clouds were surging. Suddenly, a cloud layer broke, and heavy rain poured down, as if a giant punched the devil, and the mountains roared in response.
During this period, there were lightning and thunder, water vapor and smog mixed together, the surroundings were vast, and it was difficult to see what was going on. I could only vaguely see that the water line pressed down on the gray matter and smog, falling layer by layer, causing things that are accustomed to this world to forcibly erase the strangeness.
Traces of the world leaking out.
The rain didn't come suddenly, but it went away very quickly.
In the afternoon, the weather has improved, the mountains have washed away, and the sky is clear and blue. Above the U-shaped mountains, the mud and water have drained away, but the clear flow still remains, with flying beads splashing jade, and hanging pines washing stones.
The three spires became clean, but also bald.
Many roots are peeled off, and the rocks are exposed, shining brightly in the sun.
The wind impeller resisted again, got stuck on the edge of the cliff crookedly, and was still turning silently. No one knew what would happen to it next time.
The mosquitoes flying all over the sky have also disappeared, and the large-scale gatherings are no longer visible on the screen. They seem to have been knocked down by the violent storm, but they also seem to be sinking into the ground beyond the reach of the camera along with the gray matter miasma.
There seemed to be a rainbow hanging in the air at the edge of the circular field of view. I wonder if it symbolized something. Then the screen dimmed and the live broadcast ended.
Ezuka looked at the black screen after the end and selected the previous playback node. It was the part where the gray matter smog erupted and billions of stars appeared. He went back to it seriously.
?Look below. Matsudaira Yoshio entered the office, but she didn’t even look up.
Until the latter sat behind the desk and knocked on the table: "I thought you were here to find me."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Ezuka stood up and bowed to Matsudaira Yoshio.
Matsudaira Yoshio was wearing a suit and ties, but he sighed and loosened his tie: "You are so polite, let me guess, are you planning to say goodbye to me?"
Ezuka was dressed in work clothes, as if she had deserted her job, and what she said was similar: "Uncle Shou and the others have been allowed to leave. A considerable part of the data for my project comes from them, so..."
"This reason is really lacking in sincerity." Yoshio Matsudaira touched his stubbled cheek, "Without the 'Vascular' platform and the Matsudaira family's laboratory, how do you think those people from the Seventh Division will look at you?
"
"That's my problem."
"Okay, you just need to pay the liquidated damages according to the contract..."
"I am ready."
"So you transferred the 'directional induction' technology just thinking about this day?"
"That's not true. I never imagined that... Sister Qingwen's child would be so powerful!"
Looking at Ezuka's smiling face, Matsudaira Yoshio touched his chin again and turned to look at the projection area: "Anyway, it's a pleasure to cooperate. The technology you transferred will at least prevent Osawa Club from collapsing on the spot..."
In the past few months, too many shrines and related companies have collapsed. The two men from the Amaterasu Order’s massive harvest have made the “City of the Gods” no longer worthy of its name, or the term needs to be changed:
"Prison of the Gods" may be more appropriate.
Matsudaira Yoshio led Osawa Shrine to resist, although his family was the first to have problems.
Ezuka admired this very much.
"You can go to Special Agent Aoping and he will deal with liquidated damages with you. In addition, I wish you peace and hope you will think of me in your dreams."
Ezuka laughed in surprise: "Fuck you! You... well, I'll see you later."
The two of them would not waste time on such a confirmed matter. Ezuka simply greeted him again and walked out of Matsudaira Yoshio's office.
It's not that easy to leave, go through the formalities, make handovers, and deal with contract issues. Even though Ezuka has done a lot of things in advance, he still has to be busy all day long, and it's almost midnight before he drags his tired body back.
When I got home, I took a quick shower and then fell asleep.
The first half of the night was chaotic and dreamless, but in the second half of the night, she naturally "awoke", and what she saw when she opened her eyes was a scene completely different from the house she rented - it was still a bedroom, but it was a full hotel
wind.
Ezuka was not surprised. He made sure that he was lying fully clothed here, so he sat up and habitually opened the bracelet information interface. The first thing displayed was a list of unfinished tasks and reminders of unread messages.
She turned on the window lamp and read the relevant news under the lamp.
What comes to mind is a rather frivolous statement:
"How was your dream?"
Ezuka frowned. Ever since he got drunk with Matsudaira Yoshio in May, that guy's attitude has changed.
It's a bit subtle. Fortunately, he still travels around the world most of the time and rarely stays in Sakamoto; the few opportunities to meet can always be controlled within certain limits.
But when it comes to leaving, why does it tend to get worse?
She simply replied with a "smile" expression.
The next second, there was a direct call from there, but I don’t know which telecom operator is here?
Ezuka had long been accustomed not to think about these horrifying questions. When he answered the phone, he heard Matsudaira Yoshio's deep voice:
"Want some advice?"
"……Speaking."
"After you leave, don't be too anxious to do anything. Keep a distance from the Hengduan Seventh Department. Their problems are not that simple."
Ezuka's heart skipped a beat: "Why don't Sakajo give up? The Justice Order comes forward..."
"No, there shouldn't be too many variables in the matter of simply leaving the country. After all, if you can agree, there should be enough weight and benefit exchange. But you have been in Pingmao District for so long, you won't think that these hundreds of people
It’s all your credit for being alive until now, right?”
Jiangzuka was silent for a moment and responded: "I know, you are in there..."
"No need to change the topic, you know, of course I also know that there are still 'problems' in it. The fact that veterans can survive until now and process distortion materials is a 'problem' in itself. In the past, I would turn a blind eye because of their value.
I closed my eyes, but that kid from the Luo family named someone, even the two from the Amaterasu Order didn't know, and now they have to know."
Matsudaira Yoshio's voice was always steady and strong: "Besides the forced factors, they should have other reasons and plans to let him go. In short,
It must be a hidden flashpoint, so you should try to keep your distance."
"Is this speculation or information?"
Matsudaira Yoshio did not respond and continued: "At this stage, you should be trying to establish a stable connection with that boy from the Luo family. This is inevitable and should be. But at this stage, Luo and Li are facing each other, and a war is about to break out. No one knows
The future wins or loses, so another suggestion is:
"Maintain your current state of existence, don't stand in the open, and act in a low profile... You should be able to do it, right?"
Matsudaira Yoshio's expression was more frank and direct than usual, probably because he was in a dream.
As for the topics they discussed, a large part of them was the impact of "pushing the wall" - the "Luo and Li confrontation". In the past, how could a marginalized figure in the other world like Ezuka know such high-level information.
Ezuka ended the call and walked to the window. The thick blackout curtains opened automatically and considerately. The sunlight passed through the gaps between the high-rise buildings in the city, then was shaped by the frame of the window and entered the room, leaving clear streaks.
She narrowed her eyes and stretched out her hand forward, almost touching the colorful city scenery, but she retracted it before her fingertips touched the window glass.
This is a dream after all.
No matter how close this dream is to the real world... or even connected.
Ezuka exhaled and turned around to go out.
She was currently inside a hotel, and there was no one in the long corridor. But when she walked through the foyer and walked past the front desk, she instantly merged into the endless flow of people in the urban business district.
However, it is different from the general business district in that most of the customers here are young faces.
The difference in time speed between the dream game and the real world. At first, people will feel that it is just a great design method to reconcile dreams and reality - it can make people's real arrangements more calm and effectively extend their life experience.
.
However, the speed difference of several times accumulates over and over again day by day. Suddenly looking back, many people who have experienced it and successfully fell into a dream early will say "Wow" and be deeply amazed.
Unknowingly, the city they were familiar with had undergone tremendous changes in this supernatural dream.
If you have ever had the experience of falling asleep in a relatively conservative city, and not far away, there is another large city lying there. The contrast will be even more amazing.
There is no doubt that the "conservative city" in Ezuka's perception is Sakajo; and as a reference for comparison, it is Natsujo.
In today's information age, even a super-powerful person like the True God or the Pope cannot completely control the channels through which hundreds of millions of people in the city absorb information.
Likewise, they were unable to stop a certain enemy who was also called a god and covered the world in magical dreams.
However, as the first group of people to dream in the Sakai area, they have enough time and energy to manage this area into a fortress that makes it difficult for normal people to get ahead.
Even more unscrupulous than in reality.
When Ezuka entered the Dream World game earlier, he was stunned by the quick reactions of the two men from the Amaterasu Order.
Here in Sakai City, a large number of people with abilities enter their dreams, treat the ignorant "game novices" as equals to the magnetized puppets, and eliminate them one by one. This is probably the only spectacle in this world.
Of course, it is natural to target people in the real world through dream games and continuously monitor them.
At this time, we should be thankful that Lao Yao, who was on the Hengduan Qi Department side, may have gotten some news and maintained amazing patience. During this period of time, he actually restrained his subordinates and did not enter the dream game to avoid
The relevant secrets were leaked, which can be regarded as a small miracle.
As for Ezuka, she can be regarded as one of the first awakened gamers in Sakai City. And unlike those ignorant noobs, she had multiple information channels from the beginning, not to mention Spring City, just Sakai City.
We also received extremely valuable suggestions from different channels:
One is Miss Kitayama Yukie who lives on the Matsudaira family's yacht; the other is Matsudaira Yoshio.
Although there are differences in details, the advice given by the two of them is essentially the same: the first is to keep a low profile, and the second is to "smuggle in".
If you want to truly experience the fun and mystery of the dream interpretation game, you can't do activities in the area of Sakajo that has been messed up.
Ezuka followed their advice and made a time lag early in the dream. In the dream, he quietly sneaked out of Sakajo, passed through Jijo, and jumped to ???????????????
Xia Cheng.
In the mechanism of the dream game, players like her who can quickly complete intercity travel naturally have the right to change their main city and quickly travel between the three cities.
Most people find this out after a week or two in real time. Most people don't have Ezuka's good foundation, clear purpose and considerable motivation to complete the corresponding tasks.
Therefore, the vast majority of people are still trapped in the cities where they actually live. Whether they can fully enjoy the fun of the game depends entirely on God's will.
With the ability to travel freely among the three cities, Ezuka can more clearly observe the differences in each urban environment.
Sakagi has said before that he is definitely the most conservative. They try their best to cut off the influence of the dream game, but this action also leads to a large number of magnetized puppets to counter-hunt the various strong players of the Amaterasu Order who have entered the dream.
This is just Ezuka's guess. After all, in the dream, her time in Bancheng was limited. But whether in Jicheng or Xiacheng, there were no traces of magnetized puppets so frequently, nor were there such frequent fierce conflicts - it couldn't be
It may be said that the "living god" created a new version specifically for Sakagi.
After several rounds of impact, Sakajo in the dream game looked even more dilapidated than in the real world.
Then again, in recent times, the frequency of hunting and counter-hunting in Sakai City has obviously decreased. I wonder if the Amaterasu Order finally realized it and made a helpless compromise.
In contrast, there are some changes in Jicheng, but they are not particularly obvious. As one of the headquarters of the Justice Order, it has obviously accelerated the progress of preaching in dreams, and made proper use of the relevant environment to select "good seeds"
.
They are also using the first move to continuously strengthen their own advantages, but they are not as excessive as the Amaterasu Order. The more distinctive point is that they always seem to be trying to "capture" the magnetized puppets alive - that is, "capture alive" in the literal sense.
”, for this reason, they did not hesitate to spend more money in the dream game, and I don’t know whether they succeeded in the end.
Crossing the bay and arriving at Xiacheng, the scene here is completely different.
At this time, Xia City is called the "Mission City" in the Dreamland game, and it undoubtedly has the densest and most complete game mission system in the entire Dreamland game.
Not only do they include "star missions" such as the "Blood Ring Fortress Serial Set" that are registered in the hearts of people all over the world, but there are also many joking random missions given by people with suspected abilities from Xia City pretending to be NPCs.
It may be a harmless joke, or it may be a shortcut to suddenly reach the sky, but it is more likely to be a tragic scene of being hunted by magnetized puppets all over the world because it affects the game mechanics.
Well, both the publisher and the receiver suffer the same fate.
Such a cheerful and lively atmosphere will most likely be met with envy, jealousy, and hatred. However, it is limited by the anxious sharing function of the dream game, which has not spread on a large scale. It only makes the difference between Xia Cheng in the dream and reality
There are more and more dislocations, and it becomes more and more bizarre. I don’t know what the future will look like.
Judging from the current situation, Ezuka still likes this kind of Xia Cheng.
