A group of people were walking on a dead street. The strange-shaped building ruins around them and the lush tree shadows above made them feel that they were actually walking in the ruins of an ancient era. There were huge collapsed rocks everywhere, and the street was completely destroyed.
It collapsed by ten centimeters, and vines and weeds grew from the cracks, drowning the traces of the old people.
The broken skyscrapers were like gray-white towers, lying across the road ahead, forcing everyone to take detours, walk into narrow alleys, and even bend down to crawl under the arched ruins before they could continue to move forward.
.
From the windows and faults of these collapsed buildings, towering ancient trees grew, crushing the rooms and causing rubble and stones to fall to the ground. Their root systems have been completely entangled with the buildings, forming a kind of natural object and
A harmonious state of blending of man-made objects. Under the gloomy canopy, a large number of aerial roots cover the walls and streets, like steam pipes in a huge mechanical fortress, coexisting with parasitic plants such as moss, lichen and mistletoe, and the light and shadow are mottled.
There was an air of primitive loneliness permeating the room.
They didn't know where to go, so they followed their intuition and headed in the direction that should theoretically be the central area of the ruins. Along the way, everyone was amazed at the sights they saw and the things buried under the ruins.
They felt extremely curious, but did not dare to dig easily, for fear of offending the majesty left by the goddess in the sanctuary. The young queens occasionally raised their heads and looked around, trying to find a familiar feeling from this devastated scene, but unfortunately they were all specious.
Not as real as a dream.
Only Alice was particularly active, even a little excited. Sometimes she climbed up to nearby ruins to look at it, and sometimes she picked up a broken iron sign on the ground and tried to read the words on it clearly against the light seeping through the branches and leaves. At first, Lin
Ge could still calm her down, but the further she walked in, the more impatient the golden-haired maid became. It could even be said that she was looking forward to something, and she couldn't even listen to what the young man said.
"Ah!" After walking around a lonely broken wall, Alice stepped on the roots of a white oak tree and shouted excitedly: "I found it!"
Found it? Found something!?
Everyone was surprised and hurriedly followed, but when they got to Alice, they discovered that there was nothing special in the direction she was pointing. There was only an old and damaged building with walls full of broken glass windows.
, more than half of it is missing, and the remaining part is occupied by aerial roots, vines and ivy extending from the crack, covering the field of vision in a lush green way, like a dark green waterfall hanging down.
The street leading to the building is very wide, with some broken poles and cables in the middle, and the top of a pole that always switches chaotically among the three colors of red, yellow and green, making it difficult to understand them.
What it represents. There is even a square in front of the entrance of the building, but it has long been occupied by weeds. Calf-high weeds extend from the edge of the square to the end of the line of sight, covering the cracked red stone bricks. The wind
When it blew by, the grass was bent, creating waves of undulating green waves, which looked as spectacular as the prairie of Lethenwell.
Everyone looked at Alice, and Ringer asked: "Do you know where this is, Alice?"
"Of course I know." The golden-haired maid put her hands on her hips and said proudly: "This is the largest Carrefour shopping mall in the city. When the game console and cassette developed by Game Command Company were launched, it was here that I won the big prize and got that machine.
Limited edition game consoles and cartridges. For me, this is a blessed place!"
Ah this.
So you didn’t discover anything, you just came here to reminisce about the past?
Everyone was a little disappointed. They didn't realize quickly enough that something seemed wrong.
"Wait!" Lin Ge's pupils shrank: "You mean, these are the buildings of the earth world?"
"Yes." Alice looked back at them and said in a strange tone: "I guessed it as soon as I got to the empty island. Why, don't you all know?"
How would we know if you didn’t tell us!?
Everyone's fists were a little hard, and they wanted to beat her up, but considering that it was not the right time, they decided not to. Anyway, with Saint Xalia here, this guy couldn't run away.
However, why are there buildings from the Earth world in the Celestial Temple? Moreover, they are all such old and damaged ruins. Could it be that something happened after Alice left the Earth?
"I don't know." Alice shrugged, looking indifferent. Although she was an Earthling, she obviously didn't care about her hometown. Ringer had already noticed this unusual indifference, but at that time he only
I think this is a common characteristic of gamers, who have a playful attitude towards the virtual world in their imagination, but I didn't expect that she treats reality the same way.
While Ringer was still thinking, Alice could not wait to run towards the ruins of the building called Carrefour Mall, and the others quickly followed. Once she learned that the buildings in front of her came from another world, especially those from
After entering Alice's World, everyone looked at them with some novelty and suspicion. They were all interested in their original appearance, name and purpose.
A shopping mall, as the name suggests, is a place to buy things. It sounds a bit like a large department store in Linville City, but the building scale is much larger. This is also a very reasonable thing. After all, the earth world where Alice came from has a very high level of technology.
It is far beyond the mirror star world - if you don't count the magic technology.
The group of people followed Alice and looked around curiously. At this time, the ruins, submerged by a sea of steel and trees, already took on the mysterious atmosphere of another world in their eyes: an iron box with four wheels was parked in the weeds.
The ground is covered with vines. Is this a magic chariot? But why is it so small and not even equipped with weapons? Half of the dimly colored banners are hung on the tree crowns and half are lying in the grass. The words from another world on them appear to be
It was extremely mysterious. Only Ringer, who had learned some knowledge about other worlds from Alice, recognized the meaning of several words: discount promotion...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Walking to the glass curtain wall of the mall, Alice stretched out her hand to peel away the waterfall-like vines and ivy, revealing a large black device hanging on the wall. On the transparent screen
Colorful garbled codes were flashing, dazzling people's eyes. The golden retriever maid said disappointedly: "It's all broken. I also want to see what new shows are available recently."
The entire mall is in ruins. Why do you think the products inside can survive?
Lin Ge couldn't help but complain.
The situation was just as he thought. After everyone entered the mall, they were surprised by the gorgeous shapes and luxurious decorations that could be seen inside. However, all the goods seemed to have been damaged to varying degrees in the collapse, either falling apart or remaining intact.
The complete appearance was unusable. Alice also deliberately went to the area where so-called electronic products were sold and took a look. She found that the game consoles and cassettes she had been dreaming about were shattered into pieces, and she suddenly wailed, expressing her zeroness.
Yuan Gou’s dream also shattered into pieces.
At first glance, it doesn't sound like a very serious dream.
"It's boring." The golden-haired maid sighed: "Let's go, there's nothing interesting about this place."
"I think it's quite interesting." Iyetta said, her eyes constantly looking around. She was very lucky to come back to the outside world after many years, and what she saw was the scene of a different world. This may be the case for many people.
It’s an experience that can’t be touched in a lifetime.
But perhaps because of this, she seemed a little cautious, and kept following Linge and Shengxialia closely, as if she was afraid that she would get lost. The other sisters had already started to take action, like Olvera, who was studying
A promotional poster was posted on a pillar, trying to analyze what the words on it meant; Gloria was holding her handgun and gesticulating against a glass display case, as if she wanted to test whether my bullets are stronger.
, or your defense is better; even Xino, who has always been calm, had a great time turning around a colored cube, trying to restore its six sides to the same color; as for
Not to mention Lorena, she wished she could put all the products here into Kukai shells and see what changes would happen after alchemy combined with materials from another world.
The boss lady, the bartender, the countess, Sister Livia, and the little girl... No matter how mature their original characters are, they are all exploring this new world with great interest at the moment. The only two people who can remain calm.
, only Ringe and Saint Shalia.
The difference is that Linge suppressed his curiosity forcibly; and Saint Xalia, from the moment she entered the Heavenly Temple to now, the thoughtful look in her eyes has not disappeared, as if she is thinking about an extremely important question.
Before that, it's better not to disturb her.
"Where do you think we should go next?"
Ringer looked at the golden retriever maid and asked: "Since this is the world you live in, you should know it very well. Alice, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Actually, I don't know that well." Alice scratched the back of her head, a little embarrassed. Of course, given her character, she was probably pretending: "After all, I always play games at home and rarely go out. Like this Carrefour
If it weren’t for buying the latest game consoles and cartridges, I wouldn’t bother to come to the mall. Eh?”
Suddenly her eyes lit up: "Speaking of this, I have thought of a good place to go. Anyway, I don't know what to do now, so why not just go there and have a look?"
Ringer raised his eyebrows and had already guessed what place she was talking about. He originally wanted to scold him not to use public affairs for personal gain, but then he thought about it and realized that Alice's words were actually reasonable. The place itself was full of doubts, and there were no other places.
If there is a more suitable choice, it is not impossible to go and take a look.
"Then lead the way." He motioned to the golden-haired maid with his eyes.
Alice's eyes lit up and she immediately called her companions to turn around and follow. Others were still a little reluctant to leave and wanted to play again... Ahem, I mean if you stay a little longer, you might make unexpected discoveries. But the golden retriever maid patted her chest.
Assure them, the fun is yet to come. You must be right to follow me, Alice. Will my locals still lie to you?
Although they were skeptical about the last sentence, when they thought that there was still something serious to do on this trip, everyone could only let go of their nostalgia, leave the mall and set off again, starting the journey across this steel ruins.
They walked through the once bustling but now deserted commercial street. Alice found a bag of candy in a store, which they shared and ate. The proprietress, who was a professional in dessert making, judged it to be not as good as hers, but she
The little girls liked it very much; they walked through the dilapidated playground where even the roller coaster track was broken. Leticia encouraged Merdine to sit on the carousel entangled with vines. She and Semi were pushing behind and ran very fast.
, making the girl on the wooden horse giggle, thinking that she was really riding a horse; they walked through a park surrounded by a sea of trees. The park's fountain pool slowly withered in the ancient woods, and the bottom of the pool was full of rust.
Coins, Alice asked everyone to pick up a coin each, then threw it back, and made her wish by the wishing pool without water.
"Although it is a kind of superstition on earth," she said, "but this is the temple of heaven. With the blessing of the goddess, maybe it will really come true?"
"The beliefs of people on earth are really strange." Little Bat commented: "If dreams can be realized by throwing coins, then I should have realized ten million dreams long ago."
Is it great to be rich?
Alice glanced at her, refusing to admit that she felt a little sour.
The group of people continued to move forward until they were used to seeing new things from another world and were a little bored with the unchanging ruins of the sea of trees. Alice suddenly stopped and stopped in a huge shadow, but this shadow was not
It comes from the towering tree crown above, but from a building over a hundred meters high.
It should be the only building in the entire ruins that retains its intact appearance. The dark blue glass curtain wall looks like one body. From the outside, no trace of splicing or layering can be seen at all. People can't help but sigh at the wonders of the architectural craftsmanship in another world.
How can we build such a high-rise building that is almost a work of art?
But more importantly, it has no trace of erosion by time.
Not to mention parasitic plants such as vines and moss, there is not even a trace of oldness, it is as new as the time when it was first cast.
Looking up, there is a huge promotional screen hanging outside the glass curtain wall of the high-rise building. Not only Ringer, but also other people can recognize the alien text flashing back and forth on it, because Alice's game console has the exact same text on it, and
The golden retriever maid often forces everyone to play games together——
Game Instruction.
"arrive!"
Alice turned around, put her hands on her hips, and stood proudly under the skyscraper. At this moment, her figure seemed to overlap with the tall building. The contrast between the grand and the small highlighted a strong sense of shock, so that her face
The wild smile on the face was also misinterpreted by the light as a mysterious and confident smile: "Welcome everyone to -"
