After that, we did not encounter any obstruction from the fishmen or other dark people, and soon we saw the entrance of the city, where stood a bronze sculpture.
The sculpture is shaped like a cubic cylinder with sunken lines and raised numbers.
Above the pillar, there are two characters from the opposite world. That should be the name of the city, but Tianyang can't understand it.
Because the structures of these two characters are complex, the strokes are much more complicated than those he knew.
Not far past this bronze sculpture is a crossroads where the city’s communication network begins.
But at that intersection, Tianyang saw several fishmen. They had their backs to the convoy, slightly bent over, as if they were gathering together to discuss something and whispering to each other.
Hearing the sound of the car, they turned around quickly, as if listening attentively, then dispersed to the left and right and disappeared behind the buildings on the road.
Just behind the fishman, in the center of the intersection, stood a figure.
The convoy stopped, Tianyang looked out of the window and suddenly saw clearly that it was a girl.
Human girl!
Twelve or thirteen years old.
She was a little over 1.5 meters tall, with long black hair, a cute face, confused eyes, and very long eyelashes. She stood there like an oversized doll.
Everyone in the car was discussing the fishman just now, but when they saw the girl, they immediately forgot about the conversation.
Ji Yu's voice rang out in the public channel: "Tell me, am I dazzled? Is that a human? Can humans survive in the adverse world?"
Tianyang added: "Just now those fishmen seemed to be discussing something with her, so, this may not be human."
"However, she ordered the murlocs to disperse and showed no hostility. Perhaps we can negotiate."
Ji Yu exclaimed softly: "Negotiate? Negotiate with the black people, Tianyang, don't be naive."
Tianyang opened the car door and said, "I'll go down and take a look."
Ji Yu did not stop Tian Yang. She believed that with Tian Yang's speed, even if she was defeated, she could still get rid of the enemy.
Tianyang raised his hands and shouted: "Can you understand what we are saying?"
In the chariot, Qilong shook his head and said, "The captain really wants to communicate with her, but is it possible? She is an illegal citizen. Anyway, I don't believe that humans can survive in the adverse world."
The others nodded as well.
In fact, Tianyang did this because he held on to a hope that humans could really survive in the adverse world. In that case, Su Lie might not have died.
The girl looked confused, as if she didn't understand Tianyang's words, and the boy was a little disappointed. At this time, the girl blinked her long eyelashes and nodded.
"I understand."
It's not 'I understand', it's 'I understand'. In other words, she just started using our language
This guess surprised Tianyang. It takes a very strong learning ability to be able to do this.
Is this something a living thing can do
"Are you human?" Tianyang asked the second question and walked forward 50 meters.
The black-haired girl repeated Tianyang's question like a tape recorder: "Are you human?"
"Of course I am." Tianyang never doubted this.
The black-haired girl said without any expression on her face: "If you are, then so am I."
Tianyang was stunned for a moment, then frowned. He felt that the girl's answer was not simple.
If you are, then so am I... .
In other words, the girl thinks that she is the same life form as herself
Tian Yang shook his head and said, "I can't understand why you would say that."
The girl did not answer his question. She seemed to be observing Tianyang seriously and attentively.
When Tianyang was less than a hundred meters away from her, the girl raised her hand, palm open, towards Tianyang.
This is a gesture to prevent Tianyang from getting closer.
Tianyang understood the gesture, stopped, and asked another question: "What's your name?"
"name... ."
The black-haired girl's eyes became more confused, as if she was thinking: "Mom always calls me child, but I know that child is not a name. Name, I remember, a long time ago, someone called me, called me..."
"Call me Yihuan, that should be the name you mentioned."
Also happy
sounds good.
A long time ago, how long was it
Mom, does that mean that besides her, there are other people like her living in this city
Tianyang asked nervously and expectantly: "Yihuan, my name is Tianyang. Can you tell me how many people like you there are in this city?"
"Tianyang..." The girl named Yihuan called Tianyang's name back and forth, as if she wanted to remember it. After reading it seven or eight times, she said, "You can't go in. Let's go. Go back from where you came from."
"Don't bother us. Especially mom, she likes quiet and doesn't like visitors. You should leave here, it's for your own good."
Tian Yang didn't get the answer he wanted, but he was not impatient and asked calmly: "Why is that, Yi Huan? Why doesn't your mother like guests? We won't make a fuss. We will even give you and your mother some gifts."
"You do not understand."
Yi Huan shook his head slightly: "Even though you are similar to us in some ways, you are an outsider and you don't understand what this city wants."
"Don't try to enter, or you will regret it."
Leaving these words behind, the girl turned around and walked forward. As she walked, the road, which was originally clear, was filled with a gray mist that submerged Yi Huan's figure and made the city hazy.
Something is wrong.
Both the girl and the city.
Tianyang stepped back. Even though he could not feel anything, his intuition was giving the above hint.
He returned to the car, had a brief conversation with Ji Yu, and then reported the matter to Liang Sen.
Liang Sen's voice rang out in the car's public channel: "Yihuan? That girl has a mother?"
"Yes. That's what she said, but I don't know if there are other people besides the mother and daughter." Tianyang answered the captain's questions while holding the communicator.
Lida interrupted, "She said her mother doesn't welcome us? But the little girl didn't show any hostility, so her mother should be able to communicate."
Before Tian Yang could answer, Liang Sen said, "We cannot use common sense to speculate on the world of adversity. It is even unknown whether this child named Yi Huan is a human being."
"Or maybe she is really human, but what about her mother? You and I have never seen her, so how can we guarantee that her mother is also human and can communicate."
Lida hummed: "What you said makes sense, and Tianyang just said that this girl named Yihuan seems to be able to
The Black People communicate with them and command them."
"If Tianyang hadn't emphasized that she was most likely a human, I would have suspected that they had seen a nest lord."
Liang Sen made a decision: "How about this, you guys stay outside the city, we'll come down now, and after we meet up, we'll explore the city together."
No one objected to the captain's decision.
Oddly enough, a gray haze rose up in the city, spreading only at the crossroads and not spreading outward, as if there was an invisible wall in the city that prevented the fog from spreading.
Tianyang and his team parked the car on the road outside the city. After arranging people to guard it, Tianyang sat on the roof of the car.
The city that was once clearly visible from a high altitude is now obscured by fog, and only the outlines of the buildings can be vaguely seen.
Tianyang lowered his head and saw Qiulong sitting not far away, wiping his sweat while looking at the river in front of him. Tianyang shouted.
"Qiulong, why don't you go down to the river and swim a few laps?"
Qiulong turned around and shook his head dejectedly: "Don't tease me, Captain. There are fishmen in the river. If I go down, they will bite me. Who can bear it?"
Sean said from the side: "It's okay, you have thick skin, and they can't bite you. At worst, you can add 'Indestructible Armor' and 'Star Barrier' to yourself, so that even if you get bitten, you can still hold on."
Qiu Long waved his hands and said, "Forget it. I've never heard of anyone giving themselves abilities while swimming. How can you swim happily like this?"
Several people burst into laughter, making the atmosphere less depressing.
Tianyang smiled, and suddenly felt something, and heard Jiyu's voice beside him.
"What's wrong with you recently? Did you have a fight with Xun? I noticed that you were in a bad mood recently, and you only felt better today."
Jiyu sat down next to him. Tianyang looked back at her and said, "It's nothing. I've been in the Reverse Realm for too long and I just miss home."
"So that's how it is."
Ji Yu didn't ask any further questions. She stretched and actually lay down in the car.
Stretching out his hand to block the rays of light from the sky, Ji Yu said in a dreamlike voice, "This place is like a dream. I never thought that I could actually see the sun in the world of adversity."
"And these clouds and wind are just like the outside world. Maybe there are humans living here."
Tianyang closed his eyes and felt the wind blowing through his hair. "I hope so, but I think the possibility is very low. It's hard to say whether Yihuan is a human or not."
Jiyu suddenly slapped him on the back. Tianyang almost got kicked out of the car. Looking back, Jiyu smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? Be optimistic. Don't be like an old man in his seventies or eighties, saying all these depressing things."
"I'm not saying this to be discouraging. I'm stating the truth," Tian Yang corrected her.
Ji Yu shook her head and didn't argue with him about this issue. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare tranquility.
When the vehicles of Liang Sen and other teams appeared on the road, Tianyang found that it seemed to be getting dark. The sunlight was not as bright as before, and the western sky was dyed red.
Dusk came quietly.
This was another surprise for him. Could it be that there was day and night in this space in the rift? This was different from the drifting town. In that rift, it was always daytime on the ground at any time.
After joining forces with Tianyang's team and resting for half an hour, Liang Sen gave the order to enter the city.
One chariot after another began to advance towards the foggy city. At this time, it was dark.
