6. An inescapable tomorrow
The royal city of ancient Miaojiang?
Lin Shuo glanced at Tong Momo and didn't feel surprised, just nodded slightly and said, "No wonder you know so many long-lost Miao Jiang Gu techniques, but you don't look like an ancient person, have you adapted to modern life?" ”
Tong Momo nodded lightly, smiled a little helplessly and said, "Six years, of course, I can only adapt." ”
"Six years? Have you been away from the forbidden area of your hometown for six years? Lin Shuo asked.
Tong Momo was silent for a moment and said: "My hometown used to be a forbidden area, and the restricted area number in the past was 1-23, but ...... It wasn't off-limits six years ago. ”
"What do you mean?" Lin Shuo vaguely guessed what she meant in his heart.
"It is speculated that in Dali City, where the 1-23 penalty area is located, the time pattern is more than a thousand times the speed regression."
Tong Momo said softly: "In just one year, the inside of the forbidden area has returned to more than a thousand years ago, that is, the era I am in, and then time returned to normal, the fog dissipated, and anyone can enter and exit, after it is completely opened, it is naturally not a forbidden area, but a reappearance of the ancient city of Dali more than a thousand years ago." ”
Speaking of this, her childish and beautiful face couldn't help but show a bitter smile.
No matter how she adapts, she is not a person of this era after all.
"Can you imagine?"
Tong Momo said a little confused: "At that time, I was still playing in front of the temple gate at dusk, and suddenly found that it was dawn, and when I looked up, I saw the scene when the fog in the sky dissipated.
"When the fog has completely dissipated, me, my mother, and my people ...... Everyone was completely stunned when they saw the outside world.
"Bounded by the edge of the forbidden area, within the dividing line is the ancient city of a thousand years ago, which is our Bai Miao people, and beyond the dividing line are modern expansion buildings, and the troops that have long been stationed around the forbidden area, the dividing line drawn by the styles of different eras is really too clear.
"The entire Dali Wangcheng suddenly appeared in this era, and no one could understand what the situation was at that time.
"When the modern army stepped into the royal city, many people still wanted to resist, but fortunately...... When my mother saw the modern troops, she intuitively felt the danger, but fortunately, as the patriarch, she gave the order in time, ordering the whole city not to resist, and let the troops control and guard, so that our people were not harmed. ”
Tong Momo had a hint of fear in her eyes, and then shook her head and said: "After we contacted the person in charge, we thought at first that the entire royal city had traveled to the future, but it wasn't until later that we understood the truth. ”
Lin Shuo listened silently, but his heart was full of thoughts.
If the time in the forbidden area is different from the outside world, then once the time returns to normal, the fog that formed the forbidden area will naturally dissipate.
When the time in the forbidden area is reversed to ancient times, it suddenly returns to normal, and the fog of the forbidden area dissipates, then for the ancient people within the original forbidden area, it is equivalent to 'traveling' to the future.
The most important thing is -
Tong Momo's words reminded him of the 'tomorrow' in northern Jiangsu.
Every time he traveled to 'Tomorrow', he also saw that the fog that shrouded Northern Jiangsu City began to dissipate, and it was only a minute before it completely dissipated.
Then, there will be a mass extinction that is as splendid as dusk.
He originally thought that the scope of the mass extinction was only the city of northern Jiangsu, and as long as he left the city of northern Jiangsu, he would be able to avoid the mass extinction.
But, now it seems-
Once the time loop in Subei City is over and time returns to normal, Subei City will no longer be a forbidden area.
It's like being banished to a city in a different time and space, and returning to this world.
There are no boundaries and you can come and go as you please.
The light, like the arrival of dusk, can naturally shine to more distant places.
From this point of view, the scope of the silent and terrifying mass extinction may not only be affected by Subei City......
Thinking of this, Lin Shuo couldn't help but tremble slightly in his heart, and shuddered.
How far will the mass extinction of 'tomorrow' come at dusk?
City? District? Continent?
Or even globally?
Originally, he also thought that if he could, he would take some of the people of the city and leave here together.
After all, he knew everyone in the city, and he had deep intersections with a few people, and he had spent a long time with a very few people.
Even though he played the city as a large-scale strategy game, he knew in his heart that these people were not NPCs, but flesh-and-blood and unique people.
Everyone has their own shining point and a story worth digging into.
Over the years, as more and more people have learned more and more, he has become more aware of this.
Although he has experienced too many people, so that his feelings are getting weaker and weaker, he has real feelings for some of them after all, even if these people almost don't know him, but his experience with these people has almost occupied his life.
Including the city, too.
He has lived there for an unknown number of years, and has personally walked through every corner, from strange to familiar, from boring to habitual.
To him, the city is like home.
Therefore, if he could, Lin Shuo did not want these people to disappear in the mass extinction, and preferred to take them to take refuge with him.
Then, get to know them again one by one.
But now it seems that even if you leave Subei City, you may not be able to escape this mass extinction!
Where do you have to flee to avoid the mass extinction of 'tomorrow'?
"What's wrong with you?"
Tong Momo said, but suddenly found that the palm of the pervert in front of him, who had always been extremely calm and rational, was trembling slightly at this time?
And his whole state seems to be a little strange, his eyes are suddenly anxious and confused......
It made her a little suspicious, is this person fine?
Odd...... She didn't say anything, did she, why did this pervert suddenly become like this?
"Hey." Tong Momo shouted cautiously again.
Lin Shuo came back to his senses at this time, and then took a deep breath, and after reining in all his emotions, he said softly, "You go on." ”
"Oh......"
Tong Momo glanced at him again, and then said: "Now there are hundreds of forbidden areas in the world, but most of the forbidden areas are still unexplored, I don't know what the situation is, only a few forbidden areas have been explored, and there are also a few forbidden areas The fog has dissipated and is completely open." ”
She thought about it again and said, "That's the general situation in the forbidden area, and there's nothing else to say." ”
Lin Shuo was silent for a moment and asked, "Then, what will happen after the fog in the forbidden area dissipates?" ”
"After it dissipates?"
Tong Momo couldn't help but be stunned, and said: "When the fog dissipates, it will be completely open, anyone can enter and exit, and naturally it will not be called a forbidden area." ”
"Gone?" Lin Shuo frowned slightly.
"What else?" Tong Momo wondered.
Lin Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that only the forbidden area of northern Jiangsu, the first place in the world to be born, will have a mass extinction like the arrival of dusk.
"What about the fire stealers? How did it come about? Lin Shuo asked again.
"I don't know."
Tong Momo shook his head and said: "However, it is certain that only fire thieves will appear in the forbidden area, and the probability of awakening is extremely low, and the situation in each forbidden area is not the same. ”
Lin Shuo pondered for a moment and asked, "Then why is it that only fire thieves can pass through the fog of the forbidden area?" Is there any difference between a fire stealer and a normal person? ”
"I don't know." Tong Momo said helplessly: "It can't be explained with the current level of science in the outside world, but it is likely to be because of the fire thief's time talent." ”
"Time talent?" Lin Shuo's heart moved.
"You can think of it as a 'time-based superpower', and while it's not entirely accurate, fire stealers basically have time-related talents."
Tong Momo explained: "For example, time acceleration, this is the most common talent, a few years ago, when there was no concept of fire stealer, it was actually called 'time walker', and later changed to fire stealer. ”
Speaking of this, she looked at Lin Shuo again, "If you want to leave this city and pass through the fog of this 1-01 forbidden area, you must have the talent of time, you ...... There should be, right? ”
Lin Shuo couldn't help frowning slightly.
He knew that he contained a mysterious power of time that allowed him to travel to 'tomorrow' and escape from the prison of time.
This mysterious power is also the reason why he is able to maintain his memory in the time loop.
But...... He had already tried to enter the mist, but he never succeeded!
If he was a fire stealer, why couldn't he make his way through the fog of the forbidden zone?
