When Ringo arrived at Tongshen Island, he felt strong discomfort.
Almost the exact opposite of the sun-drenched Sun Island.
It's really too gloomy and dark here.
Even the narrow and crowded Third Circle will never affect the lighting of the residents. The idle people there like nothing more than to bask in the sun on the beds and chairs leaning on the street.
Thoth psychic power will never deprive anyone of the right to bask in the sun. Even imprisoned criminals can apply to bask in the sun for one to two hours as a rest every day. The tradition they left behind regards the sun as a
A sacred thing.
They believe that people will get sick if they are not exposed to the sun, and trees will rot if they are not exposed to the sun. Even if it is a metal prosthetic body, you should take the time to take it out to bask in the sun, otherwise the Yin energy wrapped around it will easily make people go crazy——
Yes, they view sunbathing as a way to prevent cyberpsychosis.
Although the Cyber Church has never promoted belief in the sun, such folk customs have always been circulated in the Sun Island.
Only those who have gone to school will know that this is ridiculous... But after they go to school, they will no longer have any contact with the ignorant people in the third disk. But even so, the sun
Scholars on the island have never refuted this folk belief.
In other words, they are also enjoying and admiring the dim sun above the gray sky.
Tongshen Island is another extreme.
It seems to be telling how depraved and filthy the city will become after losing the sunshine...
The time they arrived at Tongshen Island was half past two in the afternoon.
This point can be said to be in the afternoon, but at least it is not far from noon. But after they got off the airship, they just walked a few hundred meters in one direction and were submerged in the dark steel forest.
The sunlight above the head is almost completely blocked, and only a small amount of light as thin as a needle can shine through between the overlapping metal skeletons like thorns and tree crowns.
And under the neon lights, they look so pale, dim, and weak.
Instead, neon signs can be seen everywhere.
Red, purple, green, pink, blue...
In the dim streets and alleys, these signboards shine as brightly as they can, emitting a dazzling light.
Either extremely strong contrasting colors, high-frequency flashing, or dazzling lights;
And on the large screen, those obscene advertisements that are flirting with people; and the startling brainwashing advertisements that are accompanied by the repetitive playing of funky music.
It is a low-grade advertising method that is just to attract other people's attention, even at the expense of disturbing people. It causes various colors of light to be reflected on the faces of passers-by, making them turn into various different colors, and even keep changing.
The seductive murmurs were accompanied by canned laughter, and the sensational saxophone and pulsing electronic music disrupted each other's atmosphere.
The lame comedian on the left screen looks like a clown, wearing a one-size-fits-all formal suit and greeting his girlfriend's parents with stuttering words. At the same time, he reads the brand name in a stuttering voice, which happens to form a bad joke; right
On the side screen, a young man with a neat suit and a smooth hair and a pink face reads a long list of advertising slogans at a high speed, with the speed of speaking at a high speed, and he is anxious to finish it for a minute.
Walking further, a bejeweled middle-aged lady on the left introduces her own jewelry with a glowing face, and at the same time contemptuously belittles the users of "other-name jewelry"; opposite her is a store selling "affordable jewelry"
In an advertisement, a 17- or 18-year-old girl enthusiastically introduces the limited-time luxury offer of buy two, get three free. Although it is a pre-recorded advertisement, at this moment, each person is talking about it, just like the women on both sides of the screen are talking.
It's like a weird quarrel.
The passers-by on the street had already turned a blind eye to this noisy scene.
At most, they put their hands in front of their mouths to focus the sound to make their voices clear when they are on the phone; or they reach out to cover one ear in distress, trying to hear clearly what is being said on the other side.
Two or three o'clock in the afternoon... There are really not many people on the street at this time. The only ones coming and going are office workers who are busy with business. You can also see some teenagers riding jet skateboards, speeding through the middle of the road at extremely dangerous speeds. When passing someone, he would tap them on the shoulder, as if to say hello in a prank.
"It's... so depraved."
Ringo frowned: "The walls on this street are covered with green moss marks, and the streets are full of garbage... There are even graffiti painted on the walls with highlighters!
"I even smelled a rotten smell. It's like this when the city has poor lighting and is too humid. These neon cold lights can't really bring dryness and warmth."
"Neon lights cannot bring you dryness and warmth, but at least they can illuminate the road."
Russell just shook his head and gave a gentle negative word.
Ringo disagreed.
But she has good professionalism and obviously does not intend to quarrel with Russell.
So she directly brought up the topic, frowned and looked at the steel city, which in her opinion was undoubtedly "degenerate, dissolute, and ignorant", and asked: "Where should we start to investigate?
"How about asking a passerby first?"
Hearing this, Russell couldn't help laughing.
Ringo asked with some dissatisfaction: "What's wrong? Did I say something stupid?"
"Ah, it's nothing. But how can I put it...I think it should be soon..."
Russell's words are unclear.
But just when Ringo wanted to ask the riddle cat next to him what he wanted to say.
But a skateboard boy passed by her, slapped her on the shoulder hard, and pushed her to stagger.
"——Yo!"
He shouted so loudly that the jet skateboard swung and swung and disappeared into the crowd.
"What is he doing!"
Ringo was suddenly pushed, and his tail frayed in shock.
She looked unhappy: "It's so rude——"
"You should be lucky that you didn't bring anything that could easily be stolen."
Russell, who was walking beside her, said leisurely: "Otherwise, I'm afraid it's no longer on your body now.
"In other words, you should be glad that this is on the street. Otherwise, maybe I didn't push you just now... but put a sharp wire hoop around your neck."
"...why?"
Lin Yu frowned: "Do I look like a very annoying person?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously followed Russell into a dark alley.
Across the alley there was still a bustling crowd, which was quite big even in the afternoon.
But at this moment, Russell suddenly stopped in the middle. He put his arm around Ringo's shoulders, signaling her to stop.
"Of course it's because we are outsiders... we were discovered the first time we came in."
Russell said softly.
Three tall and thin figures appeared at the end of the alley against the light.
Ringo turned around vigilantly and found that there were two people blocking the exit of the alley.
Less than twenty minutes after getting off the airship, the two of them were blocked in an alley.
