Lin Sanjiu admits that he has seen quite a lot of the world. A deserted and extremely hot hell, a Garden of Eden full of otherworldly technology, a deathly quiet Ruyue Station...
But there has never been a world where she could feel like a country bumpkin.
When she was teleported, it was night in the Red Nautilus World.
In the dark red sky, there are two huge full moons that overlap each other like ice flakes. The moon is so close to the ground that it even makes people doubt that they can clearly see the potholes on their surfaces - walking on the suspended
Under the huge full moon in the sky, there is almost a thrilling illusion of floating in the universe.
The gleaming light cast from the two full moons was cut into several pieces by the huge mountain-like black shadows on the horizon. Lin Sanjiu stared at those black shadows, squinting and thinking for a long time.
know what that is.
Human buildings are obviously not so huge. Even when viewed from such a distant place, the size ratio between them and human cities is almost out of balance - compared with a tall building next to it, they look like hills.
with grass seedlings.
... Such a shocking contrast is like the mountain of gods thrown down by Zeus from the sky, rolling into a long stretch, standing steadily on the horizon, shining with a faint red light in the moonlight.
Lin Sanjiu raised her eyes and looked around, as if she wanted to find some clues around her; however, after scanning around, she was immediately lost and almost forgot about the huge black shadow in the distance.
The place where she landed was in the alley between two buildings. Through the gap between the buildings, she could see the distance - I don't know if this was lucky. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw that
She found that the two buildings around her towered into the sky, and the roofs of the buildings had even disappeared into the night clouds. She didn't know how many floors they had; and after walking a few steps along the alley, she found that where she was, she could see that
As far as the eye can see, there is a steel jungle high and low. The small gap that can be seen just now is actually unique.
A viaduct divided into twenty floors, high-rise buildings so densely packed that it was almost impossible for people to pass, thick smoke coming from unknown chimneys, two giant moons above the head divided into several pieces by various wires, and there were still accumulations of water under the feet.
The sewage alleys together form this strange scene like a technological wasteland.
Listening to the faint sounds of cars and people, Lin Sanjiu felt a sense of novelty that she hadn't seen for a long time. As if she couldn't get enough, she slowly walked out along the alley as if she was in a dream.
The two bone wings were still stuck in the darkness behind her, and one of her toes had already stepped into the busy world.
A sharp warning "di" suddenly cut through the air, accompanied by waves of exclamations and complaints, a metal aircraft made a thrilling brake in the air, and then did not hit the tall building next to Lin Sanjiu;
It swayed back and forth for a while, and it seemed that it took a lot of effort to finally stop the aircraft in the air.
Lin Sanjiu's surprised gaze rested on the aircraft for a few seconds, and then he looked past it and into this other world.
The sign that says "Hotel, minimum cost is 35 Xiaojing a night" is so dirty that you can hardly see its true character. It is hanging crookedly on the door opening of the ground floor of a building, with many different words underneath.
Note: Except for the English and Japanese ones that Lin Sanjiu could recognize, the remaining ones were so weird that she had never even seen them before.
Looking around, there are shops and vendors written in various languages and providing various services, crowded and crowded on the streets filled with sewage; "Special items exchanged at high prices", "Paid information inquiry at half price", "Weapon tempering"
"Ability Training", "Free Appraisal of Special Items", "Doomsday Survival Workshop" and other signs are so crowded that there is almost no room for them. The advertisements painted on the building are layer after layer.
Although she was dragging a nearly 2-meter-high bone wing behind her, she was surprisingly inconspicuous - because the people here were dressed so strangely; compared with the fellow villagers, the Lou brothers and sisters were really dressed up.
Very conservative.
A black shadow the size of a cat flashed past from the other end of the street. Immediately afterwards, a woman wrapped in a tight-fitting snow-white fish skin chased after her, seeming to be shouting "Wait for me."
"Xiaobao"; four or five stories above Lin Sanjiu's head, a window suddenly opened, revealing an old Taoist priest with Qingfeng Taoist bones, white hair and childish face, who was turning to talk to his neighbor - a man with a bandage on his head.
The aunt, who was wearing many small rolls, was shouting curses in Shanghainese through the window.
Lin Sanjiu walked slowly on the street like a countryman who had just entered the city, a little at a loss.
"Girl, would you like some steamed buns?" A gentle woman wearing a red cheongsam greeted her with a smile, "Our red nautilus steamed buns are the most famous snack!"
She looked like she had just arrived, and even a steamed bun seller could spot it - Lin Sanjiu suddenly remembered Lou Ye's words, and couldn't help but become a little curious, and glanced at the steaming glass in front of her with interest.
The box was so hazy that she couldn't see it clearly, so she asked, "What kind of buns are there?"
"There are all kinds!" the woman said with a smile, and she didn't seem to be surprised at all by the bone wings behind her: "What color do you want? I have mysterious purple, elegant gray, romantic pink, classic black, and fresh ones here.
Green and yellow, one small crystal, how many are there?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for two seconds.
"Here, let's have some yellow porn and some fresh green ones." She stuttered a bit - she didn't know how to ask her doubts at all.
"Okay!" The cheongsam woman took out a piece of kraft paper from nowhere, wrapped two white, tender, hot snow dumplings, and handed them to Lin Sanjiu. She found the two smallest red crystals and handed them over.
I came over and took a closer look, but I really didn’t know where to find the “yellow porn”. I was a little hesitant and didn’t dare to eat it. I just held it with both hands and asked tentatively: “…have you been setting up a stall here?
?”
"As long as I return to Red Nautilus, I will come here to set up a stall." The cheongsam woman was very enthusiastic. "I just came back this time, and I am still 14 months old. Girls can come here often if they want to eat!"
"Ah, oh, okay..." Lin Sanjiu showed his confidence as he entered the Twelve Realms for the first time, "Excuse me, how should I go to Sigela Square?"
That was the meeting place she had arranged with the Lou brothers and sisters.
"Oh, that's far away," the cheongsam woman said, although her enthusiasm remained unchanged, but her desire to get away from the stall was subtly expressed: "Why don't you buy a map and take a look!"
Lin Sanjiu responded with a bit of embarrassment and continued walking forward with the buns in her hands, looking around as she walked. Occasionally she turned around and found that another local resident who looked like just bought a few buns from Hong Qipao.
He ate it as if nothing had happened, and then carefully brought the still warm "fresh green" to his mouth.
It was like the arrival of early spring, when the forest trees sprouted, and the refreshing breath of new leaves suddenly hit the nose. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what the ingredients of this bun were, but she had never experienced this kind of smell.
It has a special fragrance that lingers; although it is as fresh as grass and trees, the aftertaste is sweet, and there is a faint bitterness when chewing. When mixed together, it turns out to be a very wonderful taste.
After finishing the buns in three strokes, Lin Sanjiu thought about it for a while as if she was reluctant to leave.
It is indeed the most famous snack in the red nautilus world - she glanced at the remaining "yellow pieces" in her hand, and her curiosity suddenly became much stronger than before; just when she was hesitating whether to eat it now
, I happened to see a small shop selling maps not far away, so I hurriedly walked a few steps forward and stopped.
There are at least a dozen kinds of maps of the Red Nautilus world. Lin Sanjiu didn't know which one to buy. After thinking about it for a long time, he spent eight small crystals to get a map of the whole world and a copy of hers.
Map of the cyber area where it is located.
Opening the two maps for comparison, Lin Sanjiu stood on the street and studied them - it took her more than ten minutes before she put down the map a little stupidly.
Who said the red nautilus is small?
——It is nearly 10,000 kilometers from the Cyber Zone to the location of Xigela Square. In other words, Lin Sanjiu must cross half of the planet.
