Chapter 2106 Activated Area

In the thumb-sized hourglass, the gray fine sand descends at a constant speed bit by bit, and the fine sand falling to the lower layer is not much away from the position of the scale six.

The brightly lit neon lights flickered all night, and Mo Ye sat cross-legged in a small invisible tent in a remote corner, meditating quietly.

The surrounding elemental energy is not active, and the free elements are not actively pouring into the Moye Magic Spring like before. It takes Mo Ye to consume mental power to guide communication to call some free elements into the body.

Jerky and slow, this kind of meditation process brought Mo Ye back to the time when he first became a magic apprentice in Logar Continent. Converting every trace of magic power required more energy and time than others.

The biggest difference is that Mo Ye has mental strength and perception acuity that far exceed the average level at the moment, and it is extremely difficult for her mental power to absorb free elements. It is conceivable that if ordinary people are in this place, they may not be able to perceive and mobilize any elements at all. energy.

It is understandable to say that the energy of free elements is lacking here, but the energy of free elements in this place is obviously very rich and active.

But these active free elements don’t listen at all, be it the Star Alliance or Logar Continent, the energy of free elements in those places is the difference between captive and free-range. The former is easy to control and easy to communicate with, while the latter is full of ambition and difficult tame.

The magic power accumulated by the transformation of several hours of meditation is not as large as the amount that is automatically accumulated in the usual way.

After finishing the meditation, Mo Ye took a deep breath, and the rotation of the core of mental power gradually returned from active to stable.

Opening his eyes, Mo Ye was silent for a while, raised his left hand, a ball of water appeared in his palm, and held a fireball in his right hand.

The water polo keeps rotating in the same direction to maintain the sphere, while the flames of the fireball are trying to break out of the ball-shaped bondage and spread around.

Mo Ye raised her hands and turned her palms sideways, and the fireball and water ball left her palms and floated in mid-air at the same time.

Magic pulls them to maintain their state.

The invisible thread of spiritual power guides the continuous input of magic power into the water and fire balls.

Mo Ye looked at the two balls of water and fire in front of him, carefully sensing the changes in magic power and spiritual power.

Withdrawing mental power no longer supplies mana.

Snapped!

The rotation force of the water polo slowed down, and the water polo collapsed and fell downwards, and the water droplets scattered all over the ground flowed round and round again.

But the fireball was burning hard and couldn't find any combustibles, and it extinguished after a few puffs.

The sustainable duration of magic has been greatly shortened, and the availability of free elements here is ridiculously low.

All of them are glamorous and noble and cannot be seduced!

This situation is actually very contradictory. It is extremely rare to have abundant free elements that are difficult to mobilize.

Mo Ye looked down at the hourglass on his chest, and it was time.

"Xiaoqi, get ready to go."

"Yes, master."

Taking advantage of the early morning fog, Mo Ye put away his tent and walked towards the city.

The originally brightly lit city also goes out and exits when the night recedes and the day returns.

Return to the hazy state of fog.

Mo Ye walked inward along the ring road. The road was not flat all the way. After a certain distance, the slope rose, and the further inward the higher the degree of elevation.

In the fog, there were no passing vehicles, no shuttle aircraft, no pedestrians on the empty driveway, only Mo Ye walked alone.

The scenery on both sides of the road ranges from nothing to tall buildings.

The architectural style is not unique. The high and low buildings under the clouds and mountains are patchwork, and most of them are square matchbox-like buildings.

"Master, this is a Tchaikov-style building. According to ancient records, this architectural style was first popular in the 'Badilla Empire'. An architect named Tchaikov discovered this type of building during the scientific research of ancient ruins. And carry it forward, it was once considered the most practical architectural style by the Star Alliance."

So it seems that the source of the so-called ancient relics is likely to be in a longer history.

"Master, this kind of architectural style looks a bit rigid and lacks aesthetics, but once it moves, it is very spectacular.

"

Mo Ye still didn't understand what Xiao Qi meant until she saw the simulation demo.

In the light screen in front of the right eye, the three-dimensional picture begins to rotate, and each floor of the square building is movable, and can be freely rotated, extended, contracted, or even spliced.

"According to ancient records, the standard Tchaikov-style architecture is also called the labyrinth city, because it is usually a whole building built in units of cities."

Mo Ye nodded. In fact, he didn't understand Yunshan Mistmask very well, but he understood that the buildings in this city probably looked very powerful.

"How did you see that?"

From Mo Ye's point of view, these foggy buildings were clearly independent, so how could the so-called complete Xiaoqi know.

"Hey, Master, didn't you see that?" Xiao Qi's voice was obviously excited, and the voice of Xiao Nai raised two pitches, "These buildings near the periphery changed last night and this morning."

No, I didn't see it at all. Mo Ye couldn't really see the shapes of these buildings under the cover of the fog mosaic, let alone the details.

"How did you see it?"

"I can see it, but I can't convert and output the picture. I thought you, the master, can see it too."

Mo Ye could tell that Xiao Qi was a little twitchy. Presumably, the upgrade of the emotional program was very stable, and Xiao Qi's human way of thinking became more and more flexible.

This may be some kind of restriction, like Mo Ye's inability to cast space magic, the difficulty of mobilizing the free elements here, etc., are the restrictions that have been set in this place.

Desolate and cold, Mo Ye walked into the city along the driveway.

There is a thick layer of fog around the city, and no details can be seen clearly from the foggy images full of mosaics. The mechanical mosquitoes and flies that have gone away never return, and no one knows what is in the depths of the fog.

The city is the only visible subject.

The driveway around the city spiraled upwards, and Mo Ye walked into the mist, stretched out his hand, and could feel the moisture in his palm.

"Master, the air humidity here is extremely high, more than three times higher than the average value of the Star Alliance."

"Um"

A layer of wind shield was tightly attached to Mo Ye's body, even so, a layer of water droplets stuck to Mo Ye's magic robe after a while.

"Water vapor gathers from all around." Mo Ye looked in the opposite direction from the city, and couldn't see anything clearly due to the thick fog.

Vehicles of different styles are neatly parked in the floating parking lot along the driveway. Well, the style is completely different from the uniform boxy shape of the building. Round, square, triangle and even polygon have different shapes. Mo Ye even saw a I don't know if the stool-shaped object can fly or not, and whether it is fast or not.

All the facilities in this city are very complete, perhaps because of the excessive humidity and the lack of traffic on the ground, the walls, especially some corners and crevices where moss organisms grow extremely luxuriantly.

The green bryophytes are laid like a carpet, except for these wildly growing bryophytes, there is no vegetation greening.

The construction materials of the facilities on the street look similar to stone, cold and smooth, and complement each other with the fog.

There was no one, no breath of life, Mo Ye seemed to be approaching a dead city, and the residents in the city had long since disappeared.

Maybe I should go to the building and maybe find some clues. Mo Ye looked around and decided to go to the nearest building first.

The towering cuboid is hard to tell what type of building it is from its appearance alone, and the road signs on both sides of the road are in characters that Mo Ye does not understand.

"Master, this is an ancient language. It appeared in many linguistic archaeological books before the appearance of Common Language. It is called 'Pre-Common Language' by linguists, also known as 'Marianne Language'. It is likely to be the current language. The predecessor of the Common Language of the Star Alliance, also known as the elegant and beautiful script, was gradually replaced because the writing was more complex than the current Common Language, and the pronunciation is similar."

I have learned a lot.

"Xiaoqi is really amazing."

Xiaoqi smiled shyly and proudly.

Almost all the texts here use this type of text, as for other texts on the signs or road signs, even Xiao Qi doesn't know.

The Star Alliance has no relevant records, and Xiao Qi is helpless, "The meaning of those words should be the same, but it is another language that was commonly used at that time."

"Well, the master is right."

"No. 18 Street, Nanhu District 3," Xiao Qi translated the street sign.

So the block they are in at this moment should be the third district of Nanhu. There is a very conspicuous sign outside this building, with the big characters of flamboyant and flying phoenix dancing prominently written on it.

Of course, Mo Ye still couldn't understand it. Compared with the common language, this writing method was much more complicated and more ornamental.

"Master, this sign says 18th Street Supermarket, this is a complex supermarket."

shopping mall?

Less than one kilometer away from the No. 18 supermarket, Mo Ye turned left, crossed the driveway and went down the sidewalk.

There is a floating elevator on the side, and Mo Ye doesn't plan to try it for the time being.

After walking to the sidewalk, it is very close to the entrance of the mall.

As he walked, Mo Ye realized something was wrong.

The orderly flow of traffic, the crowds, and when approaching the shopping mall, there were suddenly more pedestrians on the empty street. These people who appeared out of nowhere seemed to be there all the time, but Mo Ye didn't see it.

Mo Ye rubbed his eyes to confirm that he was not dazzled.

The originally silent environment has also changed, the sound of wind, car, human voice, heavy traffic, the gray and white city seems to be touched by a switch and suddenly comes alive.

What was still a black-and-white movie just a second ago turned into a 5D stereo surround ultra-clear mode in the blink of an eye. Such a drastic change is very surprising.

Mo Ye's expression was very calm, and he continued to walk towards the shopping mall in a leisurely manner. At this moment, the dead city was full of life, and the buzz of people finally gave him the feeling of a shopping mall.

Stereoscopic advertisements interspersed in mid-air.

"Geely doll, rely on it to shave"

“Food bucket restaurant, top notch”

"Friction friction, high-end health care foot therapy"

All kinds of strange advertising slogans rang in my ears, billboards jumping in the air rushed to appear, and crowds surged.

There are quite a few of these people who suddenly appeared, men, women and children, and at a glance, non-public humans still account for the majority.

Among them, the semi-beasts are the most, cat ears, rabbit mouths, monkey tails, chicken wings, donkey hooves, there are only unexpected and unseen.

Mo Ye was bumped, turned to one side, lowered his head, and saw a group of webbed kids carrying schoolbags galloping past, chattering

"It's over, it's over, I can't eat the special free breakfast this morning"

"It's all Roll's fault, he turned off the alarm clock"

"He must be stealing our food..."

Uh, the upturned duck buttocks are also very eye-catching. Mo Ye watched the group of duck-footed children run into the distance and cross the street, and then the fog blocked the sight.

At this moment, she was crowded in the center by the crowd. Some people walked into the arena and some people passed by. If the seemingly ordinary scene could ignore other areas that were still gray and dead in the distance, how could Mo Ye ignore it.

"Master, don't you think it's a little strange?"

"Hmm..." It's more than a little bit, it's very strange, Mo Ye squinted his eyes and scanned the surrounding area, the area within 500 meters around the No. The range of meters is still a world shrouded in fog.

"This..." Mo Ye frowned and thought, "This is like an activated area on the game map."

"Yes, yes, master, that's exactly what you said."

But what does this mean? Are you playing a game now or being played as a game?

With no prompts, what should she do?

Sean might have known something but hadn't said a word about it, and if this was a competitive game and she and Sean were contestants, Sean probably had the advantage of knowing the rules of the game.

Mo Ye was not surprised by this. In Mo Ye's view, it is not surprising that the anti-human elements did anything, as long as they found a way to solve it.

Mo Ye walked forward, since the lights are on and people are playing, let's go and have a look.

Passing through the crowds and entering the gate of the supermarket, thin streaks of light pour down from the top of the gate. The pale silver light looks somewhat similar to the light that appeared in the Imperial City before.

"Are these people real, real human?"

Xiaoqi’s scan didn’t produce any results, its scan was blocked, and it couldn’t get any test results except garbled codes. The intellectual brain was puzzled but couldn’t solve it. “Master, what do you think?”

The reverence for the ancient advanced civilization made Mo Ye unable to make a judgment immediately, after all, everything is possible.

Mo Ye's mental power can sense countless mental power fluctuations, each of which is different, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. "The fluctuation of mental power is real." As for whether people are real or not, she doesn't know.

As Mo Ye approached, the light automatically bends to the sides to open the channel when it senses people approaching. It looks very interesting, and these intelligent lights will not accidentally touch any customers.

When Mo Ye walked into the gate, several young people walked past her quickly and quickly passed her. Although the pronunciation of the language spoken by these people was slightly different from that of the common language, they could still roughly understand the meaning after listening to it a few times.

"How long will the discount last?"

"Today is the last day. I need to buy an accelerator for the car. I heard that a new batch of parts has arrived. According to first-hand information, it was just put on the shelves last night. It is a new product of 'Mason'."

"Really?"

"What am I lying to you for?"

After these people walked away, a large wave of people flooded in. It took a while for the door to become quieter. Only then did Mo Ye be able to clearly see the layout of the supermarket, which was consistent with the exterior style, and the inside was also a square grid. , the inside of the whole building is transparent. When you look up, you can see the staggered square grids above your head moving alternately, sometimes overlapping up and down and sometimes left and right. When Mo Ye saw this scene, the first thing he thought of was a kind of retro game on Earth, "Tetris".
