"This is Yuris, the Tower of Eternal Day, and where we are now is her underground part."
"It's not a planet or a spaceship. If you have to find an adjective you can understand to describe Yuris, you can think of her as a huge building or a sky fortress."
"All the planets in the space were destroyed, all the carriers that humans could live in were all annihilated, and Yuris became the only building in the eternal light belt."
As Xiaomei said, she stretched out her hand and drew a lonely building on the sand. His painting level was similar to his aesthetic ability, but it was very precise, and Ronggui understood it at once.
It was because he understood it that he was stunned.
After driving the rhubarb for so long, it was a mine and a big river. I thought I had walked a long way, but it was not until today that Xiaomei told him that he knew: it turned out that he had been spinning in a tower, this... this, this, this —
Ronggui feels that this is completely beyond all knowledge that he can have!
and also-
Has the universe been destroyed
He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Holding his small trailer, he lowered his head and studied the abstract paintings on the ground for a long time. After a while, he pointed to the bottom of the tower and asked, "Are we... are we here now?"
At the bottom of the tower, Ronggui couldn't think of anything worse than this.
Who knows, Xiaomei shook her head.
"Because the population has been increasing, the tower body has been continuously expanded. Today's tower body is no longer a single building like before, it has become more complex, and the total number of floors has long been hundreds of times." Xiaomei said As he continued, he drew a few abstract scattered buildings on the sand with his fingers. Each building was connected by a straight line, which looked like tree roots. After painting, Xiaomei pointed to a point very far away from the main building and distributed on a branch: "We are probably here now."
Rong Gui glanced at the distance between that point and the main tower, but did not speak for a long time.
Then, Xiaomei's voice sounded again:
"However, the most important main body is still the central white tower, and the original main tower is now on the highest floor of the entire building, and only a few people can live there."
And there is also the top of the tower's power - this sentence only flashed in Xiaomei's heart, and did not say it.
Ronggui just lowered his head and looked at the stick figure on the ground, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Since they are all in the same building, why can the people above see the light, while the people below can only shrink in the darkness forever?" He thought for a while: "By the way, Xiaomei, what did you say about Yongguang? Yes, what is the eternal light belt? It seems that the name should be the place that is always lit... "
Xiaomei looked at him. For Ronggui, this was a rare and good question.
"The last month of the Faryuta calendar 1299, the last day of the last week, the stars in the sky will burst like fireworks, stars will fall from the sky, and stardust will fill the breaths of men.
The broken fire of the burning stars is still burning, the entire universe is gorgeous, and the remnants of mankind have entered the belt of eternal light. Xiaomei read an obscure text in a flat voice, and then explained: "This is a paragraph in the last paper published by the famous scholar Yuris in the last era. The general meaning is that the universe is destroyed, all the stars explode, and the flames after the stars explode will burn for a long time, and those lights will turn the entire universe into a place of eternal day. "
"This is the belt of eternal light."
Ronggui raised his head and seemed to imagine what the scene was like.
"That paragraph... it sounds more like the prophecy of the great immortal." Without thinking of the word prophet, Ronggui could only use a more local word to describe his feelings.
"Youris was really addicted to religion in his later years." Xiaomei said lightly.
Ronggui lowered his head and thought for a while. After a while, he said, "I still can't figure it out. If the whole tower is in the eternal light belt, then it should be daylight everywhere."
This is another good question.
Xiaomei glanced at him and began to repair the TV in her hand, slowly saying while repairing: "Part of the reason is the uneven distribution of resources, the materials that can best isolate external rays are all on the original main tower; Without the original materials, the place of residence can only be assigned by a hierarchical system.”
"Another part of the reason is that even though the external light is filtered, it actually still mutates. Some of the people who escaped the catastrophe slowly can't bear the light from the outside world, and these people finally moved to the lowest end of the tower - there At the beginning, it was completely sealed, and no light penetrated."
"Some people give birth to defective children and throw them there."
"People who committed crimes were also put there in the first place."
"The underground city is getting bigger and bigger, and the stardust absorbed from the outer space is also used for the expansion project. The expansion project of the underground city uses completely different materials from the upper part. You can understand this process as The formation of a planet.
In short, over time, the world above and the world below were completely divided into two regions. "
"Even in the underground, there are different layers. If you want to leave the original layer and live in a higher layer, you will have to pay a price. Just like when we leave the city of Erni and come to the city of Yedehan, we must meet the 80,000 points. condition.
The use of points is only one of the various immigration rules. The higher the regulations, the more conditions there will be. "
"The level migration in the dungeon can also be achieved by accumulating points and other conditions, but if you want to move from the dungeon to the sky city, it is not something that can be done with points."
As she spoke slowly, Xiaomei suddenly stopped what she was doing, and turned on the TV, and the TV screen suddenly lit up.
While he was talking, he had already fixed the TV.
Seeing the scene on the screen, Rong Gui was suddenly stunned.
What was played there was a blue sky and white clouds.
Flocks of white birds flew across the clear blue sky, passing over high-tech skyscrapers, and in several of the transparent buildings, Ronggui also saw people.
Those people wore white clothes that were completely different from the style of his era, but elegant and simple. They were graceful and elegant, and they all looked great! However, this is not the reason why Ronggui is stunned. What really makes him stunned is—
"Why do these people have wings behind them?" Pointing at the figures on the screen, Ronggui immediately turned his head and asked Xiaomei.
"?" Xiaomei tilted her head: "Aren't healthy people supposed to be like this?"
Ronggui: 囧! ! !
So I am disabled
still…
deformity? !
No matter which statement is a bit difficult to accept, Ronggui thought about it for a long time, and finally could only say to Xiaomei: "I... I think we must not be from the same place, not from a universe, but certainly not from a planet. "
With his eyes fixed on the TV screen, following the wings of the birds, he saw more people, even dwarves.
Even those dwarves have wings!
And the people there seem to like white very much, the main color of the clothes on each body is white, white birds, white clothes, white buildings...
Ronggui felt that he was going to be snow blind! ! !
Xiaomei glanced at him again: "Our differentiation started a long time ago. Degeneration of wings is the earliest criterion for differentiation. Long ago, people without wings were gradually assigned to live in places other than the main star."
"Your planet may be one of them."
"Impossible!" Rong Gui said loudly.
But looking at the winged man on the screen, he suddenly remembered a word he often heard before: angel.
What is "beautiful like an angel"~"like a holy angel"~
At that time, they often used angels to describe a person as good-looking, but the original meaning of angels was those birdmen with wings in Western stories!
Thinking about it carefully, isn't it similar to the winged man on the TV screen
If the myths and legends of a place are related to real history, then, then...
Ronggui couldn't even eat it.
He shook his back reflexively, but he just remembered: Uh... Now he's not using his original body~
Could it be possible... He and Xiaomei are really people in the universe, but he lives on the earth in the east, and Xiaomei lives in the west... A certain planet, the two planets do not interfere with each other, and they seem to have nothing to do with each other. The people on a certain planet in the middle were sent away, and they were driven away by their hometown because they didn't have wings.
Then the earth went through several times of destruction and regeneration. All the records in the past were destroyed. They also forgot about their hometown and their wings. Before Ronggui fell into a coma, scientists on earth were even trying to climb the moon. One step deeper into the universe, and then there is a "bang"—
The universe exploded.
The remaining people were contained in the white giant tower, and the freezer where he was located was also contained.
Then…
Immersed in various illusions, Ronggui was completely stunned.
"If you have wings, you can directly submit an application to live in Sky City. It is more effective than all points. This is the best application condition." Slowly reinstalling the back panel of the TV, Xiaomei said slowly by the side.
And Ronggui could no longer hear his voice.
Staring at the screen, his attention was all drawn to the pictures on the screen.
Blue sky, white clouds, gentle sunshine, beautiful people, children laughing and running across the green grass, and white birds...
Except that all the people in the picture have wings, the other scenes are really no different from his previous world...
Ronggui looked at the screen almost greedily.
Xiaomei did not speak.
After fixing the TV, he went to do other things. He was busy with expensive things for a long time, and he hadn't taken out his own tools to rearrange it.
Before leaving, he took another look at Ronggui who was watching TV intently and... the TV screen in front of Ronggui.
The consistent monotony of the picture is the most common scene in Sky City.
No dialogue, no sound, no special effects.
However, it is the most watched TV show in Dungeon.
Living in the deep underground where there is no light and using various methods to simulate light is a manifestation of people's longing for light.
No wonder this tedious show is so popular.
However-
Do you want to live in such a beautiful place? Then work hard, live your life seriously, and work hard to earn points.
The real meaning of this show is actually this, like a pie, painted in front of hungry people.
Then, look harder and harder, and then...
more hungry.
Looking back, Xiaomei walked into the back room.
