00627 Tone Angel
The First Dome of Eshinval was built in 87 A.D., and after the Empire's last generation was infected, and after the fall of humanity's first axial mast, the Dawn of Life, Eshinval had no choice but to rebuild it.
The rebuilt Isinval has humanity's third axial mast, "Hope of Life." ”
The distance between the two axial masts is more than 70 kilometers, so the view of Ischenwal from above is similar to two staggered squares, of which the western dome area is the recovery area built on the original foundation after the fall of the "Dawn of Life", and the eastern dome area is the new area that was expanded and renovated after the completion of the "Hope of Life".
The main difference between the East and West is not only in the two axial masts, but also in the fact that the East Zone is the cultural, educational and entertainment zone of Eshingwal, while the West Zone is composed of the highest level of human government, major memorial pavilions, various top universities, and many private estates and small towns scattered in the marginal areas.
Before the fall of Isinval, the Western Sector was still the location of the Arbiter's high-level branch, but when the Sound Angel arrived, the Western Sector was basically completely destroyed, and now it is difficult to find traces left by humans in the Western Sector.
Minnie Mouse and her party have just left the East End and are looking for an entrance to cross the dividing line between East and West.
Qiusha was speechless all the way, and Ula still had a lot of words.
"Hey, Minnie, have you heard of the Grand Ceremony?"
Minnie was stunned when she was asked, of course she knew, but according to the timeline in her memory, the grand ceremony should have passed a long time.
"Yes."
"That'...... As you, you should know me Snow God, right? "Ula immediately smiled when she heard this, Qiusha smiled, and said secretly: 'Here we go again......
"Snow God?" Minnie was even more confused.
Ula: "Well, it's Lin Xue!" She's my goddess! I never missed every one of her performances before. ”
Minnie Mouse smiled awkwardly, she did know Lin Xue, but she really didn't know it......
So......
"I haven't had any contact with her...... So ......"
"That's it......" Ulla was a little disappointed, but immediately took out a rather old echo box, an audio storage device with a soft timbre: "Then have you ever heard her music?" ”
Minnie Mouse shook her head, she didn't have the heart to listen to music right now, and the piles of terrain scans in front of her hadn't been analyzed.
Ulla saw that she was absent-minded, and said with a smile: "Don't be too nervous, the road is to be walked step by step, you might as well listen to music and relax." ”
Minnie grinned, it was time to go.
Qiusha had long been accustomed to Ulla listening to Lin Xue's music during the trip, so she wouldn't stop it now.
The three of them continued to move forward in search of a way out, but the road was no longer silent.
With the melodious sound of the violin and the concerto of the piano, the barren world in Minnie's eyes is even more desolate.
But as Ulla says, music does bring peace to the body and mind.
With the help of music, Minnie Mouse was able to find a nearby inspection lane.
According to the guidance of the terrain scan, when the three of them arrived at the mouth of the passage full of flowers, there were still metal ruins in the darkness behind them, and a new world full of greenery in front of them.
Minnie Mouse stepped out of the detection port to the area separating the boundary between the East and West Districts, and looked up to see two composite metal walls with a height of more than three hundred meters, and the sky was blue but extremely oppressive. Such dividing lines are found in the domes, and Minnie Mouse has to cross several of them every day after work, and it is said that the original purpose of the divider was to prevent the recurrence of the Cerberus tragedy.
Looking down at the divider, in addition to the ten-meter-wide bridge that connected the detection port, the divider line was fifty meters deeper, and the swaying light and shadow in the darkness proved that there was standing water there, which was only the case when the dome structure was abandoned, and before that, it was the place where the people in the lowest area looked up at the starry sky.
"The lowest level of the structure has been completely submerged, and now it's a haven for aquatic creatures and aquatic xenos. Ulla leaned on the armrest and looked.
Minnie retracted her gaze and said softly, "Let's go, we still have some way to go, don't we?" ”
Qiusha: "Well, it's very close, after entering the Western District, you won't see the Strange Demon and the Law Angel again, but there will be new dangers there." ”
"A new danger?" Minnie didn't encounter a few strange demons along the way, and the only Dusk Believer she encountered was also stopped by Zhang Yu, so she felt that the journey was relatively smooth sailing now, and now she suddenly heard about the new danger, and she couldn't help but feel a tightening heart.
"Well, let's go to the West End, and then I'll tell you more on the way." Qiusha said that one of them passed through the detection port in the western district.
Ulla followed closely, and when Minnie was about to leave, she suddenly became keenly aware of a series of slow footsteps sounding in the road behind her.
"Wait! I heard someone coming behind me? Minnie said as she began her readiness stance.
Ula was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Could it be Brother Zhang Yu?" ”
Qiu Sha shook her head: "It's impossible, we didn't agree on a route in advance, and Brother Zhang Yu didn't have scanning equipment, how could we find here?" ”
"Who's that? Enemy? Ula returned to Minnie, who stepped forward to protect Minnie behind him.
Qiusha: "It's possible, we can't wait now, I suggest that the passage be sealed." ”
Ulla nodded, then looked at Minnie again, "What do you think?" ”
Minnie's comprehensive combat experience can only be regarded as average, but it is true that as Qiu Sha said, the probability of this footstep being Zhang Yu is really too low.
"Seal it, we can't risk it."
Ula understood, walked to the handrail, pressed his hand on the handrail and followed the slight force, the metal level at the entrance of the passage was immediately deformed with the naked eye, and the locking device of the security door was also destroyed.
More than ten seconds later, only a bang was heard, and the road back to the East District was completely blocked.
"That's it, let's go." Ula let out a long breath, clapped her hands, and turned to leave.
Minnie's heart shook once at the moment when the entrance of the passage was sealed......
'What's going on...... Why do I have a bad premonition...... Minnie Mouse glanced at the entrance of the passage a few more times, and then followed Ulla to the West End.
……
As soon as I entered the partition area of the West End, Minnie Mouse saw a lot of plants, which seemed to have merged with the human architecture of the entire West End, not only showing the power of life in the intertwined roots, but also blooming brightly in every small casual place.
Although Minnie Mouse always has a strange feeling when she looks at these plants now, after the "back" of the human body is missing, the feeling of luxuriance and freshness is still refreshing.
It was only after passing through the partition and actually entering the West Side that Minnie realized that she was wrong......
And it's a big mistake!
As the foundation of the first domed building of mankind, the western part of Eshingval is much smaller than any other dome zone.
Of course, this small size is also relative, and its actual area still reaches 5,400 square kilometers.
This kind of area data is not impressive to the average person at all, but the subjective feeling is that as far as the eye can see, the boundless scale, especially in the area where the Sound Angel descends, almost all traces of human creation have been erased.
The only thing left was the Sky Singer, which had fallen in a bright golden yellow, and the shattered Dawn of Life mast beyond, completely covered in blood, and the rest, long since been buried by a sea of flowers and a bright red blood-colored lake.
Minnie Mouse first entered the West End at dawn, and the rising sun was driving away the darkness of the West End.
Looking into the distance, the first thing Minnie saw was a pure white giant kneeling in the center of the boundless sea of flowers......
It was a female physiological characteristic, kneeling at a height of more than 5,000 meters, towering like a mountain peak, her head hidden in a piece of brilliance, and the protagonist of the grand ceremony in her hands - the Sky Singer Stage.
This scene, how shocking, Minnie Mouse can no longer describe the throbbing and sighing at this moment.
She thought she would see countless bones and miserable ruins, but everything in the West End completely shattered her conjecture and cognition.
"That's the 'sound angel', which is called the symbol of the Pure Heavenly Fire! The end of the world began from the moment she came. Qiusha raised her hand as she spoke, and pressed her index finger lightly to Minnie's temple.
Then Minnie's eyes slowly widened.
Because she saw ...... The moment I saw the angel of sound descending......
……
The echo of a thick horn filled the sky, and in the crowd, the bloodthirsty and killing faceless monsters raised their heads to look at the sky.
Qiusha opened her eyes weakly, the pain was gone, and what was left was unprecedented numbness and coldness.
Her feet were crushed from the knee down.
The monsters who were about to eat her stopped eating, and they stood up, their chests and abdomen rising and falling, their breathing distinctly audible.
Qiusha followed their gaze to the sky, and saw that the dome was torn apart, and the flames ignited the blue sky until it burned to the point of being as thick and dark as blood.
Then they departed, and as they ran, they let out bursts of laughter as if they had finally been satisfied!
Qiusha was terrified, and after death was far away from her, the instinct to survive actually began to torture her nerves with fear again.
Gradually, all that remained in her ears was the laughter......
Fear spread for more than an hour.
When Qiusha was rescued by a well-wisher, it was already so gloomy that the sky was as bright as day in the middle of the night!
Then there was a high-pitched, heart-shaking roar, and all the sounds were gone!
Qiusha saw it...... I saw a pure body descending from the sky!
She has a majesty comparable to the sky, a majesty as high as a mountain, and in solemn praise, the moment her feet touch the star of Gaia...... All living beings felt her presence!
At that moment, Qiusha burst into tears, and she didn't know why she was crying......
I only saw the buildings in the distance begin to disintegrate into pieces, and dissipate under the shroud of infinite light......
Qiusha knows that her end has come!
……
But......
