Some words just make you feel happy just hearing them.
Especially for those who have experienced "Nightmare: Gallery", after witnessing Amos' tragedy, Nigel's story will have a deeper feeling.
They are both painters, and they also feel the limits of their talents...Nigel's talents are even far inferior to Amos, but in the end the two of them embarked on completely different paths and ushered in completely different endings.
"I see……"
Annan nodded and sighed softly.
He finally knew where that strange feeling came from.
The way Nigel looked at him...or in other words, the way he saw Zhi Ji through himself always made Annan feel familiar. Now he finally remembered that it was the first time Kaifni saw him.
, the look he looked at himself.
"You are a wonderful person, Nigel."
Annan praised: "You can indeed be called a master."
"It's still early."
Nigel shook his head.
Although he had dedicated all his family property to Zhi Ji, there was no regret in his eyes, nor was he even the slightest bit reluctant to part with it.
There is only reason and clarity in his eyes, like a bright light.
"I am only over fifty years old, and my journey around the world has just begun. Now I want to follow the way of Paper Princess, and I want to pass on that love, that kindness, and that hope. I am indeed now
Think so.
"But I don't rule out the possibility that this idea may change in the future. Maybe after I travel to a certain city, I will fall in love with it; or maybe after I travel to a certain area, I will fall in love with it.
The girl's journey ended here and she chose a peaceful and happy life.
"These are all possible situations, and I will not refute it; people will change, and I admit that. I will not keep repeating that ideal, and use it to constrain and solidify my life... until
Enthusiasm fades, leaving only numbness.
"I would not do that. Because that is my ideal, not my life. I will definitely give priority to maintaining my own life, followed by my ideal. I might have been confused by this back then, but now I
I’ve seen it clearly.”
"But as long as I still remember my current mood, I still remember the hope that Zhiji gave me. I think I will keep going like this."
The middle-aged painter scratched his fluffy and somewhat messy hair and said with a smile.
He was neither firm nor enthusiastic. Perhaps because he was a little shy, his voice was lower than usual when chatting. It was not loud or sonorous at all.
But this word is full of convincing power.
Nigel scratched his head again, turned his gaze, and stared at the table again. His voice became much softer: "Why am I saying this... I'm sorry, Mr. Annan."
He is not that shy person.
But looking at the almost identical looks of Annan and Zhiji... I always feel as embarrassed as pointing at the daughter of my first love and telling the story of chasing her mother.
Although he is not a direct party, Annan is already very close to the party - on the one hand, this will make Nigel more willing to tell hidden stories; on the other hand, it will also make Nigel feel more ashamed.
"It's okay. I also learned a lot from you."
Annan smiled gently and comforted softly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Nigel."
These are not polite words, but Annan's innermost thoughts.
By the time they were talking to this point, the underground train had already entered the submersible layer, and the windows and doors were completely sealed.
Until then, no new passengers had come in. There were still five of them in total, and it seemed unusually empty.
Because almost all countries in different countries cross the sea. If it is only a few dozen meters underground, it is impossible to cross the national border.
And if the slope is too steep, there will be higher requirements for engine power.
Therefore, the method adopted by underground cities is a downward spiral.
At the top level, that is, after the subway level has completed carrying passengers, it will follow the downward slope and rotate in an arc of about 120 to 180 degrees to further descend. After passing through the urban level,
After planting the layer and exploring the layer, you will reach the deepest layer - that is, the deep underground layer.
There are no human traces in the deep underground layer, and it cannot be reached through deep wells. Even the specific "route" is confidential to other underground city residents. There is no need to carry passengers or stop midway, and the speed of the train can be directly increased to the maximum.
The air here is also toxic to ordinary people. Therefore, when entering the deep submersible layer, the isolation barrier must be opened to completely seal the inside and outside of the carriage. This can also further increase the speed of the train without worrying about the influx of air from the outside.
Lift the car door.
"Although I have already seen it once."
Lin Yiyi looked out the window and murmured in a low voice: "But it's still so beautiful..."
Although it is at an extremely deep location, there is surprisingly light here.
Of course not sunlight, nor lights.
Rather, it is a special kind of creature that the underground world depends on for survival... the "Light Ant" created by the mysterious lady.
Photo ants are similar in size to ordinary ants. They feed on feces and soil when they are young. After eating a small amount of feces or a large amount of soil, they will stop eating and emit a permanent light. Photo ants that only eat feces emit
The light is pure white, and the color will change differently depending on the soil you eat.
After the light ants die and decay, they will turn into an extremely sticky colloid. When the light ants and the corpses of the light ants are gathered together, they will become a solid gem called "light ant stone", which can be used in
It emits a faint light at night.
According to the different light colors of the light ants condensed into gemstones, the light ant stone will also form strips of beautiful light spots of different colors. The light ant stone itself is one of the materials for the edict spell, and the light ant is needed by the idol school
, which is also one of the important exports of the underground world.
In fact, the main light source of the Underground Federation is the light ants.
In the urban layer and deep underground layer, the light ants attached to the wall have formed a good cycle - if the eggs of the light ants are laid on the end of the crystal wall close to the air, they will starve to death directly; and if the eggs of the light ants are
The section near the soil where the light ants hatch will eat the soil.
After swallowing the same volume of soil as themselves, the shimmering light ants and the outer crystal shell condensed by their parents and ancestors formed a colorful sky.
Although this light is not strong... To use an analogy, it is the brightness of a mobile phone screen during the day, but as "sky dome" level lighting, it is enough. After all, underground people have dim vision, and for them this is already
It's a pretty bright world. If necessary, there will be a green fire or something else in the room as a close-range light source.
In the planting layer, because strong light is needed to promote crop growth, farmers will shovel out the eggs of light ants with something like a bricklayer's trowel, and then throw them into the feces and bury them to create "light ants" with strong light.
", after sifting them out, they are spread on the clay plate again like caviar, creating a strong light source that can last for three months.
The exploration layer is the largest area, larger than the remaining three places combined. This is the territory belonging to the "Diggers' Council".
They not only want to explore for ores, but also dig various holes underground, excavate the remains of ancient organisms, or explore areas that are convenient for living, making lanes, or growing crops. Light ants are of no use to them.
Lanterns made of green fire are convenient.
In the deepest subsurface layer, because the lane is not that high, the same light will appear extremely bright.
It's like traveling through a time tunnel - the extremely fast train speed and the colorful hemispherical crystal tunnel make everything look particularly dreamy.
