The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the western horizon, and the remnants of light from afar penetrated the golden wheat fields, the wheat swayed in the wind, and in front of the wheat fields was a ruined city, with huge circular walls full of cracks, and in the middle of the city were ruined houses, full of desolation, but in the center of the city stood a huge circular fortress, which was hundreds of meters high and thousands of meters in diameter, all made of huge iron blocks. The fortress is far more magnificent than the pyramids of ancient Egypt, and I really don't know who created it, and this is not done by manpower, even with the most advanced machinery in the world.

At the top of the fortress, two high-spirited teenagers are lying on the top of the spacious wall and watching the sunset, facing the breeze, leisurely and casually chatting.

A young man with a lollipop in the corner of his mouth rested his head with his hands on his head and swayed his feet crossed, feeling uncomfortable. His hair was black and shiny, his eyes were bright and bright, full of confidence, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said lazily: "Zejin, next June will be our Xuanyue Competition, have you thought about how many results you will achieve?" ”

The boy named Zekin sat upright, he was very special, his hair was golden, his eyes were gentle, he was brown, because his father and mother were of different races, so he was of mixed race.

He smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, after all, there are still a lot of great people, and if I can, I hope to be the first." ”

"Zejin, your ambition is very high, why do you think so much about being the first, I think it's almost enough, it's good to stay on the ninth floor all the time, you can run to the highest part of the barrier every day and look at the scenery." The boy stretched and sat up.

Zekin smiled, touched his golden hair and said, "There's no why, I just want to protect more people, and it's important to prove your strength, but how many places do you want to achieve?" ”

Another teenager named Shikong, he also smiled and said: "What about me, it would be good to be in the top hundred, I don't want to be in the limelight, I just want to stay on the ninth floor, it's relatively quiet here, and I can also see the sunset in the distance like now, it's good." ”

Shikong ate his lollipop, threw the small wooden stick in his hand into the distance, it fell in a parabola from the hundreds of meters high barrier, when the wooden stick was already a hundred meters away, Shikong raised his hand and pointed lightly, and the wooden stick was suspended in the air. The stick is actually still falling, and the speed is the same, but the time in the space around it slows down, and then the stick falls at an extremely fast speed, because the time around it becomes faster relative to the outside world. Scavenging has the power to control time, it's his ability.

"Scavenging, your control over the power of time is getting better and better, you may be able to defeat me, after all, the power of time and gravity are both powers that belong to the gods, and they both stand at the top of the ability." Zekin squinted and kept looking at the stick until it hit the ground.

Scavenger patted him on the back, "Don't worry, if you meet me, I'll definitely lose to you." ”

Zejin shook his head and said solemnly: "No, you have to go all out, Xuanyue Dabi can't cheat." ”

"I didn't cheat, I just wasn't too lazy to fight, anyway, I just need to be in the top 100, and it's okay if I abstain." Shikong patted him on the back again and got up, "Let's go, let's go home for dinner!" ”

Zekin sighed, he knew the character of Scavenging, and some random words he said were often what he really wanted to do, and no one could change them.

A beautiful girl suddenly appeared under the walls of the rampart, she was dressed in fiery red clothes and dyed her hair slightly red, a fiery girl. She is very good-looking, her face is a little baby fat, so white and tender that she wants to be pinched, her eyes are big, she looks like a half moon, and her nose is quite small.

"Hey, you two, why are you here again, let's go to the market on the first floor at night." The girl's gaze has always been biased towards picking up the sky, and her eyes reveal joy, which is the joy of seeing a boy she likes, just when the spring heart of a fifteen-year-old girl sprouts.

"Little Princess Red Lotus, why do you always follow us, don't you like this handsome guy." Scavenger jumped off the wall and stood in front of her.

The girl's name is Red Lotus, and she is known as the little princess of Red Lotus.

Honglian's face turned slightly red, and she said angrily: "I don't like you, who doesn't know what kind of person you are, no one in your eyes, compared to the gentle, kind, and generous Zejin, who is too far behind." ”

"Yo, Zekin is so good that you can chase him, anyway, he just broke up with his ex-girlfriend a few months ago, and now it's hot, you have to take advantage of it." Scavenger laughed and mocked.

"You...... This person is so annoying, ignore you, people like you will never want to find a girlfriend! Red Lotus was so angry that she left immediately.

Zejin hurriedly said: "Hey, Red Lotus, don't go, we agreed, he was joking, don't take it seriously." ”

Shikong thought to himself, "Haven't you never been in a relationship before, your temper is so stinky, you don't want to find a boyfriend." ”

Zejin blamed: "Scavenging, you know Red Lotus's temper, it's good to be gentle with her, after all, the three of us are the best partners." ”

Shikong scratched his head and urged, "Okay, okay, let's go home and eat, Aunt Elise will definitely call us later." Honglian's girl, don't worry about her, she won't be angry after a while, I'll send her a message on Xiaobi later. ”

Xiaobi is a social software developed by Lawson Technology, which is a barrier to Lawson.

Zekin nodded, "That'...... Well, don't make Red Lotus sad. ”

The two teenagers left the top of the barrier and went to the third level of the ninth level of the barrier (the family level).

The distant sunset had fallen into the dark sky, leaving only a trace of residual temperature, a sense of post-apocalyptic desolation......

- End of "Prelude to the Barrier".

"Xuanyue Dabi" begins
