Above the Gray Fog

Chapter 1945

Lin Shan looked at the demonic texts projected on the desktop, flicked his fingers and flipped through the information one by one.

There is a lot of information about border crossers, but most of them are records of examples.

The records of border crossers themselves were summarized in one sentence - there are many types of border crossers, each with special abilities, not ordinary invaders, and each border crosser is a powerful creature that can travel in different dimensions.

Lin Shan paused for a moment, raised his head, and looked thoughtful.

It sounds like these guys called border crossers are a general term for a class of creatures. They have no obvious common characteristics. The only common point is their purpose.

Canglan.com records it in detail. The purpose of the border crossers is to replace the residents of Canglan and integrate into this world with almost unlimited resources, so as to nourish themselves with the rich resources here.

At first glance, this does not seem to pose a big threat. After all, Canglan's resources are almost inexhaustible.

However, the real threat of border crossers is not the plunder of resources, but the "virus" they carry.

Border crossers come from the borders of both sides. The creatures on the borders of both sides exist outside the laws of nature. For all beings within the laws, their existence itself is a fatal mistake.

Border creatures carry a kind of consciousness pollution that is enough to change the entire Canglan civilization. When border crossers connect to the Canglan network, the social structure of Canglan will collapse catastrophically. Even if Canglan's reaction speed is fast, the speed of the spread of consciousness viruses may make all defense measures pale and powerless.

Lin Shan continued to look through the information, and one paragraph was particularly eye-catching:

Once the border crosser successfully connects to the Canglan network, the speed of regional consciousness pollution will be unimaginable. Local isolation measures usually cannot completely prevent its spread. Canglan residents are requested to contact the defense station immediately after identifying abnormal phenomena for processing.

"Border creatures, what exactly are they? They are not within the laws of nature..."

"They don't have their own laws, so what is the order that maintains their existence?"

Lin Shan muttered to himself, thinking constantly.

If you look at it from the perspective of ordinary Canglan residents, the information you can see is that border crossers are very dangerous and you must be careful today.

But the essence of border crossers is border creatures that have smuggled in.

After reading several examples of border crossers, Lin Shan developed a strong interest in border creatures.

If border creatures can be found, perhaps a way to sneak across the border can be found.

Border crossers come to Canglan to integrate into this world, so they must have some kind of wisdom. Having wisdom means that they can communicate.

In order to find more possible clues, Lin Shan opened his heart lake. However, as soon as the heart lake was opened, Canglan's intricate space-time structure became a natural obstacle. The surrounding space-time was like countless funnels, and the perceived energy was divided into streams, flowing to the unknown space-time domain.

In this case, let alone exploring the surrounding situation, he couldn't even locate where he was now.

Retracting the heart lake, Lin Shan got up and planned to walk outside.

What he saw now was just the tip of the iceberg. Since he couldn't go to the other side in a short time, it would be fine to wander around Canglan, the highest civilization form in the void.

Lin Shan's figure disappeared and appeared on the prosperous street, where the big rooster once stood.

The streets of Canglan seem prosperous, but not lively at all. Pedestrians walk hurriedly, as if everyone is forced to act under some rules, aimlessly.

Like puppets, but not completely. Lin Shan can be sure that they are free and not controlled.

Lin Shan guessed that it would become like this because they have no pursuits and needs.

The residents of Canglan seem to have long been free from the pressure of life and material needs. They do not rush for survival, but live just to live simply.

Lin Shan does not quite understand this state. There is no pursuit in life, and even the most basic motivation for survival has been lost. No matter how high their life level is, they are still living beings with the instincts of living beings.

If even the most basic meaning of "living" is abandoned, and only the so-called advanced existence is pursued, what is the difference between that and death?

But then again, aren't the creatures outside Canglan pursuing this kind of life state throughout their lives?

This is the most boring life state, but also the top life state.

It is not an exaggeration to say that all the residents of Canglan are their own gods. Because of this, it is impossible for the residents of Canglan to have faith. Their level of civilization is too high. Even the creator Jihong clan cannot become the object of their faith.

Lin Shan looked at a father and daughter walking in front of him. The older man and the petite girl walked hand in hand on the street.

They smiled, their expressions were calm, and their steps were synchronized.

There was no verbal communication between the two, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding. They were communicating with each other in a deep way. Their consciousness had long surpassed the constraints of words and body, and entered a kind of silent resonance.

Lin Shan's eyes followed them for a while involuntarily.

Although Canglan seems empty and boring, when you really observe it carefully, it will not make people feel really boring.

The existence of every Canglan resident is like a note flowing slowly in this infinite space, with an indescribable rhythm and law.

Perhaps, this is the real advanced, and he is too impetuous.

Lin Shan was immersed in this aimless wandering, letting himself wander in different time and space nodes.

Day after day, Lin Shan wandered around Canglan for several months, but still found no signs related to the border crossers.

But for some unknown reason, he inexplicably took a small step forward on his destiny.

There is only one final step left before the true Discord.

During the meaningless wandering in time and space, Lin Shan accidentally discovered a gathering place for outsiders in a deep slice of the world.

The foreign life forms that can come here all have at least an indescribable level of life, and there are many powerful ones at the disorder level.

Lin Shan stood in the sky, staring at the scene below.

Below is a magnificent palace building, with layers of golden spiers shining dazzlingly in the blurred sunlight. Its structure looks out of tune with everything around it, as if it was pulled from another time and space. Behind the palace is Continuous mountains, and in front of it, is a vast grassland. The green grass sways slightly in the sun, and the air is filled with an indescribable tranquility and leisure.

On the grass, the strong men sat in twos and threes, either closing their eyes and concentrating, or talking in low voices.

Lin Shan could feel the fluctuations of their breaths being so gentle, as if the whole world was sharing a leisurely time with them.

In the center of the grass, several people were sitting around a low table, with a deck of colorful cards spread out on the table. They were playing some kind of unknown card game.

Every movement seemed calm and unhurried, and the eyes were deep and focused yet relaxed.

On the top of the mountain behind the palace, a huge dragon lay there lazily. It was huge, its scales exuded a faint light like ancient gems, and the thick muscles on its body showed an overwhelming effect in the sun. sense of presence.

It half-squinted its eyes, looking down at the few strong players playing cards, staring solemnly at the cards in their hands. Occasionally, it would gently swing its tail, causing a gust of breeze.

Lin Shan's eyes wandered involuntarily among these scenes, feeling the atmosphere here. There were no disputes about quick success or instant gains, and there was no irritability driven by the pressure of survival. Everyone and every existence seemed to have found some kind of remoteness here. Extraordinary tranquility and ease.

The few strong men sitting on the grass may be strangers, but there is no deliberate sense of distance between them. The communication between them can even be described as "casual".

Lin Shan's eyes fell on the familiar big rooster again - it stood with its head high in the corner of the grass.

In front of it, there is a piece of white cloth spread out, and on the cloth is placed a round piece of fresh meat. The meat is fresh and tender and shiny.

Next to it, the horse-legged snail was fiddling with a giant oven with its two small hands growing out of its neck. The flames in the oven were beating gently and making a faint "crackling" sound.

The big rooster seemed to sense the moment Lin Shan appeared. It squinted its eyes and looked around. When its eyes touched Lin Shan's figure, it opened its mouth slightly and let out a proud cry. It straightened up. chest, flapping his wings, and greeted Lin Shan, "You stowaway boy, come down and play together."

The horse-leg snail immediately turned around alertly, stretched out a small flesh-colored hand from its neck, and pinched the big cock's mouth without hesitation.

The snail's tentacles moved slightly, "Boss Chicken, it is illegal to talk about 'smuggling' openly. Do you want to be kicked out?"

The big rooster obviously didn't buy the snail's restraint. It flapped its wings violently and let out a roar. Its thick wings swung towards the snail like two blades. It slapped the snail's little palm away and said angrily, "No more." If you dare to pinch my mouth, believe it or not, I will roast you immediately!" The voice was extremely sharp, attracting the eyes of many other strong men on the grass.

Lin Shan stood in the air, watching this scene with a little hesitation in his heart.

After a while, Lin Shan stood opposite the big rooster and said, "It's disrespectful."

The big cock chuckled, "You're welcome, we're all here to play."

Its wings flapped gently, seeming to invite Lin Shan to join the relaxed atmosphere.

There was an elusive meaning in that laughter.

The big rooster glanced at Lin Shan and asked curiously, "How did you find this place? This place is not easy to find."

Lin Shan shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "I was just wandering around, and ended up here."

The big cock smiled slightly and raised the corners of his mouth, as if he heard an answer that surprised him.

However, it did not react immediately, and just maintained its relaxed smile indifferently.

The snail next to him suddenly spoke, with a hint of seriousness in his tone that could not be ignored, "Normally, it is impossible to get here by wandering around."

Its little flesh-colored palms lifted the pieces of meat and placed them on the grill, and then added, "The time here is a secret slice. You must obtain permission to enter. Moreover, under normal circumstances, the first creature to enter Canglan is the fundamental one." It’s impossible to get permission.”

Lin Shan was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "Is that so? What happened to me?"

Rooster shook his body, "Who knows, maybe you are unlucky."

"None of this is important. Anyway, since you are here, we just want to play together. I have a good ingredient here. Let's try it together later."

Rooster patted his chest, "I'm looking forward to it."

There was obvious excitement in its words, and it suddenly turned to the snail, with a warning in its eyebrows, "You said you are a twelve-star senior abyss chef, so I gave you this opportunity. If you waste this top-notch ingredient, I must eat snail meat today!”

The snail's tentacles trembled slightly and replied patiently, "Don't worry, it won't be ruined."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Shan couldn't help but be curious. At first, the big rooster was very resistant to the snail. Now, although he still speaks fiercely, he is obviously not so resistant. What happened between them?

Lin Shan turned to the big rooster and asked, "What is this place? Is there anything special about it?"

The big rooster pouted slightly, with a hint of laziness in his eyes, "It's nothing special, just a place for some old birds to have fun."

"Looking for fun?" Lin Shan whispered to himself, frowning slightly. This term was too unfamiliar to him.

The big rooster waved its wings lazily, signaling Lin Shan not to be too entangled, "Canglan has many secrets, the highest form of civilization, it's not just for words. Even people like us can get a lot of benefits here, every day Every time I come, I gain new insights.”

"What you have to do is to blend in here and learn to enjoy it." The big rooster took out a stack of cards, "I've seen you so many times and I still don't know what to call you?"

"Mu Mu Shan." Lin Shan said.

"Mumushan, you can call me Brother Chicken, or Boss Chicken." The big rooster spread the cards on a corner of the white cloth, "Can you play the reincarnation card?"

"No." Lin Shan shook his head.

Rooster grinned, "I'll teach you."

At this moment, a curtain of light suddenly lit up in front of Lin Shan.

[Cross-border application: Insufficient information, has been rejected, please reapply. ]

"What's wrong?" Rooster looked at Lin Shan.

"The application was rejected," Lin Shan said.

"It's faster than I thought." Rooster was not surprised. "Normally, this kind of application will be rejected. This is the best way to avoid trouble."

Lin Shan wondered, "What trouble will there be?"

"Who knows, the rules on the other side are special. If you cause trouble, they may not come to you, but if you get the formal cross-border procedures from Abyss, people from the other side will definitely come and cause trouble for Abyss."

"In order to prevent this from happening, rejecting all applications that may cause trouble has become the fundamental means to solve the problem."

"So, the only way is to sneak across?"

Lin Shan looked at the rooster.

"Would you like a reincarnation card?"

The rooster didn't answer, but kept shuffling the pile of cards in his hand.
