Adam Sturgis is a very ordinary boy from the lower world, at least on the surface.

But after getting to know it in depth, you will find that he is not ordinary, he has experiences that ordinary people can't even think of, a girlfriend in the upper world.

"Bell bell bell..."

The alarm clock rang in the early morning, and Adam, who was sleeping soundly in bed, opened his confused eyes.

Washing your face, brushing your teeth, eating breakfast, it's another day of work.

Adam is 22 years old, and he works in a machine shop, and his daily task is to make screws with lathes, just like most people in the lower world.

"Morning, Adam!"

"Early..."

Riding his beloved bicycle to the factory, Adam changed into oil-stained, smelling overalls and greeted his co-workers.

Adam is only 22 years old, but he has been working in the factory for 8 years and knows everyone here.

It's just that today's workers look at him a little wrongly, as if he was wearing ill-fitting clothes, or the zipper door underneath is open.

"What the hell are you doing?" Adam looked at his clothes, then at the zippered door below, and walked to his lathe in a daze.

The factory where Adam works is not large, and in order to save costs, dozens of lathes for processing screws are all stacked in one large workshop.

Adam lowered his head and walked to his lathe No. 38.

What is surprising is that the factory manager, who would not have appeared easily in the past, is actually standing in front of his lathe today, as if waiting for him.

"Are you Adam Sturgis?" The manager was a middle-aged black man wearing a blue suit and gold-rimmed glasses on his face.

Adam's eyes flashed with sadness, the manager would not show up on weekdays, and whenever he talked to someone, it meant that the person was fired.

"It's me, am I going to be fired?" Adam looked up with difficulty, and finally understood why the workers were looking at him a little wrong.

You must know that in the lower world, being laid off means starvation, which means losing a source of income.

Don't look at Adam and these people calling themselves factory slaves, but those farmers who farm in the countryside have the greatest dream of their lives to work in the factories and become a glorious working class.

Therefore, it is terrible to be laid off, and there have even been news of being fired from factories and committing suicide by people who can't bear the pressure.

"I heard from your co-workers that you have a girlfriend from the upper world, is there such a thing?" The manager didn't say anything about the dismissal, but changed the subject.

Adam looked at the manager incredulously, when he told these workers that he had a girlfriend from the upper world, everyone listened to it as a joke, no one believed that a little person from the lower world, crawling around in the factory, could have a girlfriend from the upper world.

"This..."Adam's face changed for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, her name is Eva, we met in the Holy Mountain of the Two Realms, and I saw her there." ”

The lower world and the lower world are two planets that are very close to each other, and the closest of them is called the Holy Mountain of the Two Realms.

Hundreds of years ago, the upper world was not as developed as it is today, and it was possible to connect two planets with floating orbits.

Therefore, the first group of explorers came to the lower world on the mountains of the Two Realms with oxygen cylinders and ropes fired from ballistas.

Today, the passage to the Holy Mountain of the Two Realms has been canceled and turned into a forbidden holy place.

But theoretically, if you have a rope that is thousands of kilometers long and a ballista that can shoot the rope out, you can carry an oxygen cylinder through another world.

Of course, this is not easy, not to mention that the Holy Mountain of the Two Realms is located in a blockade area, and even the guards patrolling 24 hours a day will make you regret the idea of illegal smuggling.

"Can you elaborate on that?" The manager pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and handed it to Adam.

Adam took the cigarette and replied with a look of remembrance in his eyes, "That was ten years ago, when I was 12 years old. My aunt lived at the foot of the sacred mountain, and when I was a child, I didn't pay attention to the so-called forbidden area, and every time I went to visit my aunt, I would climb over the barbed wire fence to play inside.

It wasn't until one day that my aunt told me that a long time ago, people from the upper world came down from the top of the sacred mountain, and I became more interested. Eventually, I mustered up the courage to carefully evade the patrol and walked to the top of the sacred mountain, standing on the top of the explorer's journey through the two realms.

There, I met Eva, who was as curious about the sacred mountain as I was, and her father was a patrol in the upper world, so she often accompanied him on his way up the mountain. Our fate is amazing, Eva has a super powerful electromagnetic slingshot, which can knock steel balls hundreds of meters, from the holy mountain of the upper world, and hit the steel balls into our world.

When she saw me, she was as surprised as I saw her, we were hundreds of meters apart, separated by two worlds, looking at each other through the clouds. It was a beautiful day, there weren't many clouds, and the sky was blue. Eva lifted her electromagnetic marble and hit it in one fell swoop, and to this day I will never forget the moment when the ball broke through the gravity of the upper world and fell from the top of my head after reaching the lower world. ”

"It's a miracle of nature, and that's how you met?" The manager was incredible, and even the surrounding workers were unconsciously surrounded.

Seeing that the workers did not go to work, the manager did not scold angrily for the first time, but ignored these lazy people and urged: "What's next? ”

"After that, I went to the top of the mountain every day to wait for her, but she didn't come often. In order to see her clearly, I entered the factory when I was twelve years old, just so that I could buy a telescope and not just see a black dot vaguely. Later, I got my own telescope, and Eva got hers, and we stood on the top of the hill and wrote on a drawing board, and we were able to..."

Before Adam could finish his words, the manager asked in surprise, "Do you know how to read?" ”

"My aunt knows some words, although they are all relatively simple kinds, but this is enough." With a happy look on his face, Adam recounted how he communicated with Eva and how he worked hard to wait every day.

Listening to Adam's story, the people around me were unconsciously stupid.

It turns out that there is such a beautiful love in this world, which is more than a fairy tale, and people can't help but immerse themselves in it.

"And then?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Adam's eyes turned red and he choked up: "Later, we grew up, and when I was 17 years old, Eva decided to come to me. However, the ticket price of the two secondary school companies is too expensive, and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to get off the train from the upper world.

Eva didn't have that much money, so she had to take the risk of using a rope ballista in the same way that explorers had used hundreds of years ago, with oxygen cylinders and a rope ballista. And just as she was about to succeed, a patrol from the lower worlds found her, and they broke her rope with a gun, and I watched Eva fall. ”

"Oh my God, it shouldn't have ended like this!"

"God, is Eva dead, and will you ever see her again?"

"You guys are just messing around, explorers hundreds of years ago, I don't know how many people died in order to come to the lower world, how dare you do that?"

Regrets, accusations, questions, all kinds of voices followed, noisy and messy.

Adam's heart was full of self-reproach, and he covered his face in pain and cried, "I have not seen her since that time, and I don't even know whether she is alive or dead."

I didn't know it was going to happen, Eva said she was well prepared, and that what the explorers could have done hundreds of years ago, she can do now. I didn't expect to alarm the patrolmen, let alone shoot them, otherwise I would never have agreed to let Eva come over. All I want now is to hear from her again, but I can't do anything. ”

Adam cried sadly, and he hadn't heard from Eva since that failed crossing.

If possible, he really wanted to go to the upper world to find Eva and see if she was still alive.

But this is not realistic, a million passes are too expensive, even if he works in the factory until death, he will not be able to save such a huge amount of money, unless there is a new turnaround.

But is there a turnaround...
