Chapter 728 Strange Worlds and Places

The 879th floor of Babel Tower.

There are long bridges built with iron cables connecting the stone buildings. There should have been a special corridor here many years ago, but it was broken long ago. These iron cable bridges should have been built by later generations.

"Clatter!"

"Whoa whoa whoa~"

Sanna and Sasi were walking on the chain bridge. Although the bridge was rickety and dangerous, they were not very scared or panicked.

Because they can fly.

Sanna also caught a very rare strange arrow fish, put it in a bottle and said she wanted to keep it as a pet, because the book said that people in ancient civilizations kept animals as pets.

She couldn't catch the terrestrial animal mentioned in the book, so she caught it and happily said that she wanted to make friends with it.

Sasi was drawing a map as she walked, and at the same time sorting out the clues about the spiritual meeting that she had collected along the way.

The two got off the magic crystal submarine and searched all the way.

Walking down from the 881st floor, all the way to the 880th and 879th floors, there was no trace of the prayer meeting, and no one was seen.

Although this also proves to some extent that the prayer meeting did pass through here and took everyone away.

But until now, he really hasn't achieved anything big.

The two of them walked among the dark jungle turned into stone buildings, going up and down among the collapsed and dilapidated ruins of buildings.

One moment they were walking on the side corridor of a building that was tens of meters high, one moment they appeared in front of the window of the building where people had been before, and the next moment they appeared in the middle of the street.

Night falls slowly.

That is when the fluorescence of fluorescent moss dims until it disappears.

In front of the window of a stone building, Sanna placed a crystal lantern by the window. She was helping to lay out the blanket, and then together they prepared food for the night.

She was humming and seemed very happy.

Because she has a friend called the Arrowhead Fish.

"Buzz buzz~"

Suddenly, strange fluctuations came from the entire Tower of Babel.

It seems that a strange wave that originally enveloped the entire Tower of Babel is being withdrawn. Even if the people living in this Tower of Babel don't know what happened, they suddenly feel a strong feeling of emptiness in their hearts.

Sassy, ​​who was thinking about something, suddenly stood up and looked up at the rock slab above her head.

It seems a little lost.

He understood that it was the movement of the temple completely leaving this world.

The other party took away the passage to the world of gods and the spiritual life transformation device, and took all the three-eyed spirits above 1,300 levels into the dream world.

Sasi raised her head and didn't move for a moment, just looking up.

Suddenly, the dream player in his arms made a clicking sound.

He took out the fantasy player and put it to his ear.

The voice of a friend came from inside, saying goodbye to him.

"Sassy!"

"We're leaving."

Sasi's originally confused and lost face suddenly turned into a smile.

He put his face against the fantasy broadcaster, looked at the rock slab above his head, and said something to his friend on the other end.

"goodbye!"

Even if he knew the other party couldn't hear him.

He turned off the fantasy player and set it aside.

Because he might never use it again, and no more sounds would come from it.

Sanna, holding the glass bottle in her hand, stood there and looked at Sasi's face: "Did something just happen, angel?"

She seemed to feel Sasi's emotions, although the emotion was only fleeting on his face.

Sasi lowered her head and said, "It's okay, it might be an earthquake!"

Sanna nodded: "Oh!"

Sasi helped prepare dinner together, and suddenly he asked Sanna: "Do you hope that everything said in the spiritual meeting is true?"

Sanna immediately stretched out her hand: "Of course!"

Sasi nodded and said, "I hope it's true too."

Sanna nodded along with her: "Then let's continue searching together tomorrow. We must find them."

Sasi: "Of course!"

——

They crossed the metal gate that separated the area and came to a wide square.

There are still pits and grooves on the ground here from the old train tracks. There are many tall warehouses on both sides that have been converted into houses. The building that looks like a station has been separated by boards and has become a residence, but you can still tell the past function of this place. .

Sanna saw the picture in the camera and recognized it immediately: "I recognize this, this is the station."

She also saw the landing platform of the airship: "I also recognize this, those airships take off from here."

The two people entered the waiting hall of the station. Although there were no seats inside and all the removable items had been disassembled, they still recalled the lively scene in the station hall in the film.

A large number of people were waiting and people were coming and going in front of the platform.

People stared at the approaching train, making noisy sounds, including laughter and anxious pursuit.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Next stop, Moonlight City."

"The train to Suinhall is about to leave."

"It's our turn, hurry up and get there."

"..."

The two of them also came to the groove of the train track, imitating the people in the camera screen and staring in the direction of the train.

In a daze, they seemed to really hear the whistle and the sound of the train's wheels.

"Wooooow!"

"Kang-dang-kung-dang-kung-dang!"

Looking into the distance, Sanna had an expectant expression on her face.

It seemed like she was about to get on that train and follow everyone to other distant cities.

Sanna: "Sassy, ​​I seem to hear the sound of the train. It's so fast."

Sasi: "I heard that too."

Sanna: "If it's you, Sasi, where will you take the train?"

Sasi said: "I heard that there used to be a sky train that traveled around the world. I want to take it and travel through the sky."

Sanna: "Can't we fly?"

Sasi: "But taking the train is different. It feels like traveling."

Sanna: "Aren't we just traveling?"

Sasi: "It's different."

Sanna: "Why is it different?"

Sasi: "It should be more relaxed and comfortable when traveling!"

But he glanced at Sanna and continued.

"But...that's almost it."

Across the railway, there is a temple at the end of the square.

Various plants are carved everywhere in the temple.

There are strange flowers, rainbow trees, and glowing doors.

Unlike other places, although it is empty here, it has not been dismantled or damaged in any way, and it is still well preserved.

It seems that the existence of a temple is naturally more intimidating, although those who have lived here on their way to high-rise buildings do not know what kind of temple this is.

As soon as Sassi entered here, his expression became serious.

He could feel that many people had been here not long ago. People living in this class and people from the spiritual gathering should have stayed here for a while.

Sassi grabbed Sanna's hand and immediately searched for various halls in the temple, trying to find traces of people or clues about the prayer meeting.

But unfortunately, there is still no trace of anyone in the entire temple.

The entire temple was empty.

Most striking, there is only one painting leaning against the wall.

The wooden picture frame looks taller than a person, and it is a large vertical painting.

However, compared with the tens of meters high wall, there is only such a painting on the empty wall, which is particularly eye-catching.

Two people stand in front of the painting, admiring the artwork.

In such an era art is a very precious and luxurious thing.

Sanna asked: "Is this a painting? What is the painting?"

Sasi was also looking at it: "It seems like a ruins?"

Sanna: "When was this painted?"

Sassi said: "It should be drawn by people of our time!"

There is a large glowing circle on the painting, which may also be a window.

The main body of the painting can be seen through the window-like ring, which is a colorful painting of various objects piled up into a mountain.

If you look closely at the picture, you will find that it is really a huge mountain.

The piled items not only have fine debris, but also white round towers and damaged airships.

The main body carrying the mountain of ruins is a huge lattice cabinet, which is composed of many small lattices, and other items are scattered on both sides of it.

It's just that the lattice cabinet is a bit big, because the round tower that seems to have at least seven or eight floors looks like a small toy compared to the small grid on the lattice cabinet, although it is possible that the painting is really a toy.

Each lattice cabinet has a glass door, and there are ladders connecting the lattice cabinets.

Although I don't know what the person who drew this painting thought, but it looks very interesting.

Sassi: "Although I don't know what the painting is, it's quite interesting."

Sanna also nodded: "The painting is so real, what is it drawn from?"

Sasi said: "The painting is not necessarily real, it should be a fantasy painting. When the ancient civilization was still there, there was a real painting "The Lost Kingdom", which described the first island floating in the sky. It is said that it is the embodiment of the highest skill of painting."

Sanna: "First Era?"

Sasi said: "The era we are in is the end of the Second Era, and the Lost Kingdom is the ancient city that was left behind at the end of the First Era."

Sanna: "Isn't our world ending for the first time?"

Sassi said: "Life will die, and civilization will also die, but after the old life and civilization die, new life and civilization will be born."

"The world may be in such a cycle again and again, constantly moving towards the future!"

Sanna raised her photo camera: "One day in the future, someone will pick up the painting from my photo camera. Will the image we left behind become another "Lost Country"?"

Some serious angels couldn't help laughing: "Maybe!"

At this moment, the painting in front of them suddenly moved.

After Sanna discovered it, she immediately pointed at the painting and shouted.

"Look."

"The painting is moving."

Sassi had already noticed before Sanna yelled, and he immediately reached out and grabbed Sanna, pushing her behind him.

In Sassi's gaze, one can see that the content of the painting is constantly zooming in, just like a lens is constantly approaching the world in the painting.

The big mountain kept enlarging, and so did the latticed cabinet, and finally it was in the depths of one of the cabinets.

He saw a group of people.

The leading man in the painting looked at Sassi, saluted him and said.

"Hello!"

"Angel, I am the elder of the prayer meeting."

The words fell.

The person in the painting actually walked through the painting, walked out among the ripples, and stood in front of the two people alive.

Both Sasi and Sanna had expressions of surprise and dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

In front of a table in the temple.

Two winged men, one large and one small, and a white-scaled lizard man sat opposite each other.

Although the lizard man's appearance makes the wing man feel a little ferocious, his demeanor is completely different. He looks gentle and well-dressed.

Sasi and Sanna were very surprised. It turned out that the prayer group they had been looking for actually lived in a painting.

The elders of the spiritual meeting told them: "This is not a painting, this is a portal."

Sasi said: "Even a teleportation gate will not work if another teleportation gate cannot be found, and it has been a long time since a new teleportation god was born in this world."

The elder of the Prayer Society said: "A long time ago, I got a key. Since then, I have been collecting materials everywhere to build my teleportation door."

"You are right. When it cannot connect with another portal, a single portal will not work, let alone this isolated place."

"But there is one exception."

Sasi said: "What's going on?"

Elder: "If the expectation and desire of the teleportation god are strong enough, the door will open to the place where it desires and expects."

The elder looked at the "painting" on the side: "And when I opened this door, it led to here."

The elder put his hands together in a praying posture.

"If there really is a guide to destiny in this world, this should be it. This door really finds our final hope and destination."

Sasi also looked at the portal.

Although it is hard to believe, it seems that the Spiritual Society has indeed found a place that can accommodate their existence.

Although, this place to accommodate them is strange.

The lizard man elder and Sasi talked about the function and origin of this painting, and then said goodbye and prepared to re-enter the painting. They had all moved inside and usually lived in it.

"We'll be leaving in a few days to head to the next level."

"If you want to come in and take a look, you can tell me at any time."

——

Station hall.

Sasi was preparing food and seemed to be in a daze.

He checked and found that there was not enough food, so he looked at the strange arrow fish in the bottle.

He hesitated for a moment, then opened the bottle.

In the blink of an eye, Sasi cooked it, maybe because it was inconvenient to carry it, or for some other reason.

"ah!"

Sanna cried sadly around the fire, but when the broth was cooked, she stared at the boiling iron bucket. The aroma made her stomach growl as she had not eaten much during the journey. His nose also wrinkled.

Sanna was very sad: "We cooked our friends."

"It's not a friend," Sassi said.

Sanna still thinks: "It is my friend."

Sasi said: "The world is not yet luxurious enough to be friends with food."

Sanna gave an example: "People from ancient civilizations can do it."

Sasi said: "You are not a person from ancient civilization. People from ancient civilization have abundant materials that can be wasted at will and an extremely prosperous world, but for you, survival is an extremely cruel and realistic problem."

The cold-faced angel seemed to be a "hard-hearted" and not very gentle person at this time.

Sassy filled a large box for her, looked at her swallowing and asked, "Isn't it delicious?"

Sanna: "But..."

Sasi: "Then eat."

Sanna: "But..."

Sasi: "Drink up the soup and don't waste it. Food is precious."

Sanna finished the soup with tears in her eyes and licked the metal lunch box. It seemed that her "friend" tasted really good.

When she was sleeping, she held the bottle and talked in her sleep, saying that she wanted to find another friend.

Sassy couldn't help but shook her head as she listened to Sanna's sleep talk.

The next day, Sasi decided to enter the painting-like world inside the portal and have a look with Sanna.

The two people stood in front of the portal together, one with a calm expression and holding the weapon in his hand.

One's face turned red with excitement, and the wings behind his back fluttered slightly.

Sasi asked, "Are you ready?"

Sanna: "Ready."

The two of them walked towards the portal together, and their bodies were wrapped in colorful oil.

Through the oily light, a halo seemed to appear in front of them.

But they passed through it before they could see clearly what the halo was.

Then.

They discovered that everything had changed.

They themselves seemed to have been compressed into a flat shape from their original three-dimensional shape.

It feels amazing and a little scary.

The two people landed in the mountain of ruins, and then began to walk along the mountain of ruins towards the "lattice cabinet".

The perspective here is completely different from that in reality. They can only see the front of each item, not the sides. The same is true for themselves, they can only see the front of each other.

It's like a character walking in a 2D side-scrolling game.

They were like paper figures moving sideways in a painting, and little by little they came to the side of the grid cabinet.

They climbed the ladder.

The small ladder that looked like a toy in the painting now looks like a ladder to heaven, long and reaching nowhere.

Sanna: "Why don't we fly?"

Sasi: “Don’t move around in a place like this, because there’s no telling what could go wrong.”

Sasi has seen many examples of ritual formations set up in the sky in special fields.

Finally, they appeared in the first compartment of the cabinet. Only then did they feel how big the cabinet was.

Its interior space is much larger than it appears, even larger than an ordinary city.

There was also a small door on the glass cabinet door that could accommodate ordinary people's entry and exit. At this time, they saw the elders and members of the Spiritual Prayer Association waiting for them.

They live in this cabinet.

"Welcome to the world."

Sassy and Sanna returned the greeting while looking involuntarily through the figures of these people towards the cabinet behind them.

Because they seemed to have seen a mountain of sugar-filled bread?

They couldn't count how many sugar-filled buns there were. They could only feel that they were densely packed together and spreading to the top of their heads and into the distance.

It makes people feel like they have trypophobia.

If you look closely, you will find that all kinds of bread are not exactly the same, and there are various styles.

"?"

"What's this?"

Sasi asked.

The elder didn’t know either, he just said.

"This was already like this when we came here, but nothing here can be taken out. There is no problem just using it here."

Sasi suddenly felt that she had such a weird dream because she didn't wake up last night.

However, after he and Sanna tasted the bread here at the invitation of the elder, they felt that all this could not be a dream.

because.

Not even in their wildest dreams could they have imagined such delicious sugar-filled bread.

It is fluffy and soft, sweet but not greasy, and has a special aroma. It is definitely food that can be made by a master.

The elder led them around and talked to them.

“Although there is a lot of food, it is not inexhaustible.”

"However, the food here is very different from the outside. It seems that it will not spoil in the cabinet. I think it should not be a big problem until the last generation of our group transforms into spiritual life forms."

"So even though we discovered this place before, we never dared to live in it, let alone use the things here at will."

"Because I think every item here is a gift from fate, and there is no room for waste."

"Any squandering now may be our doom in the future."

"A doomsday of our own making."

"I even tried my best to collect some useful things from outside, and everyone carried them little by little, and collected them here and stored them."

Next, Sasi and Sanna went along the ladder to look at other cabinets, which were also filled with various things.

Exquisite cloths, various metal daily necessities, ceramic daily necessities, milk tea stored in jars as high as a hill, densely packed tea cakes pressed into one-meter squares, blank paper scrolls filling the walls, and an entire grid of flour.

Various toys, alarm clocks, mechanical watches and string dolls.

They even saw candies piled up neatly on the four walls.

Etc., etc.

Everything was unimaginably exquisite and gorgeous, completely beyond their understanding. Even a piece of candy had to be printed with a pattern that was so exquisite that even a master could not carve it. Sassy and Sanna couldn't imagine what it would be like. People can be so extravagant.

Sanna asked: "Is this the life of ancient civilizations?"

Sasi felt that even ancient civilizations couldn't be so extravagant, right?

The candy was so exquisite and gorgeous that Sanna couldn't bear to eat it when she held it in her hand.

She said: "It's so beautiful, could it be alive?"

This strange world or realm gave Sasi a very strange or wonderful feeling.

The food, water, cold and heat are all the same as outside, but I feel flat.

The elder took Sasi and Sanna through each cabinet grid.

Then he turned to the outside, the mountain of ruins.

There are also all kinds of unimaginable things piled up in the mountains of ruins, including coins, sundries, books, some extraordinary props that can and cannot be used, and so on.

If it could be taken out, this would be an unimaginably huge amount of wealth.

The elders of the Spiritual Prayer Association led the two of them over the mountain of ruins.

"We are currently living in a cubicle, but we have already started a new plan."

"We will slowly build and clear out several cities with the contents in the ruined mountain below, and then live here. We plan to accommodate hundreds of thousands or even a million people."

Walking on the mountain of ruins, suddenly there was movement from above.

"not good."

"Something's going to fall from above again."

"Hide quickly."

The people at the prayer meeting seemed to be very familiar with this scene, and they all found places to hide.

Sasi and Sanna followed them with blank faces and hid under a round tower diagonally inserted among the ruins.

"woo woo woo woo!"

"Boom!"

There was a sound above my head, like the sound of wind, accompanied by the sound of bubbles breaking.

They raised their heads, and the ring above their heads that could only see a section of the rainbow was emitting light.

Bubbles passed through the halo one after another, and then completely shattered.

The dense objects dispersed from the bubbles and then fell from a height.

Integrate into this mountain of ruins.

Seeing this scene, Sasi was completely at a loss.

"Where exactly is this place?"

“Does such a place really exist in the world?”
