Chapter 75 Moving City
His question made Old Crab frown.
Did he really not know or was he pretending not to know?
But
The vague statement made by the other party before also made him smile at this time:
"Forget it, no matter what your origin is, Brother Crow."
He looked at the crow like a shadow, feeling the strange feeling of closeness and disgust. In this contradictory feeling that was quite different from that of Old Jia but basically the same, he said:
"You and I have a big conflict in our nature. We should have no reason to devour and assimilate each other, right?"
Yao Yan just did not comment on his words, and responded vaguely by not saying anything.
And the old crab didn't say much, and immediately answered his question:
"Do you know the general origin of Buzhou Mountain?"
"In the understanding of most of the receivers and contaminated bodies, Buzhou Mountain is similar to the trial space. They are all floating spirits of ancient old humans, except for the condensed and solidified parts, piled up."
"There is even such a saying."
The old crab lay back on the tattered bed again, waving his fingers:
"Buzhou Mountain itself is a trial space, but its essence is close to the condensation of concepts such as "channels", which is a channel connecting to other trial spaces."
"When you go to each trial space, you can see many strange scenes condensed from fantasies or fictions left in the minds of ancient humans, but"
"Hell."
"In the ancient people In the human world, 'death' is a very important topic. "
"The underworld, hell, heaven, nothingness, chaos."
"In the ancient human world, there are many topics about death."
"But, now."
The old crab glanced at Yao Yan:
"What do you think is death for us?"
"At the real level, the difference between us and ordinary humans in life and death is not that big, but from the phenomenal level, there is already a huge difference between us and ordinary humans."
"Not to mention the effect level."
"So, what is death for us?"
The old crab turned his eyes to the sky:
"For us, parasites living in this world who may not be able to die even if we want to, personality is the most important thing. The collapse of the universe may be a more acceptable concept of "death." "After our memory, personality, and death have undergone tremendous changes, the original us are equivalent to death." He glanced at his palm: "In Buzhou Mountain, there is a trial space that highly condenses various concepts about death, which we call "hell." "Of course, other places are also called the underworld, the underworld, the underworld, and various other names." "It doesn't matter what it's called, as long as you know the reason." He said here, and looked at Yao Yan again: "Personality collapse is death, yes, but in the trial space, accompanied by the situation of "personality collapse", various recipients and polluted bodies are often restrained and integrated into the trial space. , became part of the trial space, and then continued to piece together and condense other people's thoughts, memories, and personalities. "
As he spoke, he pressed his hands behind his head to support his head and looked at the starless sky:
"It can be said that the trial space of 'hell' often has living subject concepts."
"How should I put it? In the words of ancient humans, there is something like 'world will'?"
"These wills that are one with the world are alive. They know a lot about the trial space, about pollutants and receivers. Maybe they also know the cruelty of 'hell' and will try every means to escape from hell and escape from the kind of life that is locked in a prison."
At this point, he turned his head and glanced at the shadowy crow:
"Is there a pollutant, or a receiver? Anyway, something has escaped successfully."
"Escaped?" Yao Yan asked.
"Yes, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, many pollutants from a long time ago have said that Snake Street is the corpse of a receiver or pollutant."
"Corpse? "
When hearing this, although Yao Yan was not shocked, he could not help but think of various scenes because of this description, and his thoughts were also paused.
As if he felt Yao Yan's "shock", the old crab smiled:
"The 'Scarecrow' appeared at that time. Even those ancient pollutants don't know how the scarecrow appeared and why it appeared there."
"But there are basically two places that are related."
"One is 'Hell', and the snake skeleton that escaped from 'Hell' but 'died', and that street."
"The second is the predecessor of the Land of Chaos."
The old crab lay on the bed, shaking his feet up and down:
"I heard from those ancient pollutants that the Land of Chaos was the base of another force before the 'Hell Snake' rushed out. "
"This faction, it feels like, has similarities with several other factions."
"Like Yancheng, they all have metal-like characteristics."
"Like Shicheng, they all like all kinds of sculptures."
"Like Haicheng, they all like all kinds of weird and strange things."
"It's just that there are all kinds of weird receivers and contaminated bodies here, and it's just a warehouse for miscellaneous items?"
Such a description made Yao Yan have an image in his mind.
It was a faction with the theme of an art category formed by characterizing and extremizing certain situations in a scene of the industrial age that was used to death.
Generally speaking, it would be called steampunk.
He finally realized what made him feel wrong in the complex scene of the chaotic land.
Suddenly, he blurted out the game company's propaganda for that force in the game:
"Magic and science exist at the same time."
"Incredible science is like magic."
"No, magic really exists, in this city."
"You can find potions prepared by witches and sorceresses in the corners of this city, or you can find the sorceresses themselves under the guidance of a black cat or crow."
"But, dear, don't get lost in this gear-clockwork city."
"It's dangerous in the dark. The sharp blades of the killers are as beautiful as tuxedos, but I hope you can leave here before the hands of your pocket watch point to the night, get on the airship, and leave the night of this dangerous city."
The Land of Chaos is a force in "Nightmare Game".
"The Moving City".
It's different from the City of Machines that stands firm, and it's also different from the Carved Stone City supported by giants.
It's different from the floating city like the scorching sun, and it's also different from the City of the Cult that stands in the extreme cold.
It's also different from the Abyss City that sinks in the sea.
This city is indeed very chaotic, but
It is different.
However, Yao Yan also realized one thing at this time
The words he uttered attracted the attention of the person next to him.
