Through the saddle – or the slide – takes us to the upper floors of a black skyscraper.

Lamia said, "No, these are not ember crystals. ”

Up close, they were feathers, pitch-black feathers, covering the walls of the building.

Safi: "This is Chongyu. ”

After saying this, I saw a rain of black feathers falling from the sky.

Lamia and I immediately entered the window of the building and watched as the feathery black raindrops wet the walls, blackening the ground and obscuring the city beyond the Aether Ocean.

"A heavy feather can change gravity, it will make things under 200 kilograms heavier and things above 200 kilograms lighter," Safi said. And the effect of gravity is very severe. She removed her oxygen mask to reveal her cheek, and I noticed a thumb-sized feather-like mark on her forehead, as if it had been drawn in ink.

And there are dry marks on her skin, which makes her look very old.

"It has made me ten kilograms heavier in my life," she said. ”

Her expression was serious and not exaggerated. Lamia and I agreed, "It's dangerous." ”

"The aether makes this place weird, just as dangerous as the outside world," Safi said. Heavy Feathers, Feather Evil, Aether Haze, and the Royalists.... We need strong fighters like you. ”

I said, "You'd better explain it clearly." ”

Safi said, "So, we are going to take you to the Prime Minister, if you can really defeat a lava demon as you describe..."

I added: "I single-handedly killed it." "The fact that I used two hands and two feet, but it doesn't matter how the process is, it's the result that matters.

The best outcome is to make them afraid of me.

Anhorton rubbed the wound and said, "Do you think you're amazing?" Kill the demons with the aether grenade, can't our five hunting methods do? ”

I frowned and said, "What are the five hunting methods?" ”

Safi said: "It's our five strongest fighters, let's go, the Prime Minister has given you permission to bring weapons, if you want to get what you want, only the Prime Minister can help you." ”

I didn't want to complicate things too much, so Lamia nodded at me and I said, "Lead the way." ”

Safi led us into an elevator, which was heading upward. Lamia asked, "Are your upside-down buildings also caused by heavy feathers?" ”

Safi said: "These buildings... We don't know what's going on, maybe it's a different space or something, or maybe it's because of these buildings. They were there when we first arrived. ”

I said, "They're like some kind of summoning altar or something?" ”

Safi smiled bitterly: "Anyway, there are a lot of explanations. However, if the heavy feather falls on the object, the effect will gradually fade. Its curse on people is permanent, and it is the same for animals. ”

Lamia asked, "One feather can weigh ten kilograms, so when you dye many feathers, more than two hundred kilograms, it will make you lighter?" ”

"We experimented, and the subject was a dying guy with aether rot syndrome, and after he was exposed to more than a certain weight in the rain, the heavy feather began to make him lose weight until he became lighter than the feather, and a gust of wind blew him away. So, in the same rain, the heavier and lighter can only be reversed once. If you want to recover, you'll have to wait until the next rain before venturing. ”

I said, "If you use it properly, this may be a very powerful weapon, have you ever thought about it?" ”

Safi smiled, and the slow elevator finally stopped, and we entered a spacious conference room, where the tables and chairs were either black or white, cut flat and monotonous.

The Prime Minister, a bald old man with a short beard and a blue coat with a yellow vest and shirt underneath, said: "Welcome, two guests, we have not had outsiders here for a long time. ”

There were three other people in the room, all dressed in tightly wrapped black leather armor, a semi-mechanical style of dressing that made them look like modified cyborgs.

But they're not, they're just tough fighters, and you can feel it in spirit. The area they live in is much harsher than the Golden State Wasteland, and we have an easy start compared to them. Even if there are very powerful characters among them, it is normal, and those who can survive are already extraordinary.

I replied, "It's not easy to come here, I saw a demon tree outside that was incredibly tall. ”

The Prime Minister said: "Your accent is different from ours. ”

I said, "We're from the Americas." ”

The Prime Minister said: "I have only read about this continent and this huge country in the past, how did you get to London? ”

"There's a portal to another dimension, you know, it's the kind of thing that's more common these days, and alas, we meet ten or eight of them every day."

I caught a glimpse of Lamia's lips pursed, as if resisting the urge to complain. Because my tone is to show off to them - do you think you're weird here? We're not bad there.

The Prime Minister pointed to our weapons: "The slide shows that your weapons are full of aether, and you must know what will happen if you detonate the aether here." ”

I've been thinking about this for a long time, if this ocean-like aether explodes, the whole of London will face another destruction, maybe it makes sense that they want to put away our weapons.

The Prime Minister said, "But the aether here is not explosive, and the greater the mass, the safer it is, but even so, I still recommend that you hand over the weapons to us for safekeeping." ”

Lamia whispered, "Give them to them, if they leave us alone, we'll already be drenched in heavy feathers."

We handed over our guns, swords and grenades to the Prime Minister, and I remember that St. Longinus famously said, "Don't easily confiscate the player's equipment in the game", and I always felt unsure when I watched my hard-earned possessions fall into the hands of others, even if they promised to return them, like my wife being invited to dinner by another man.

The Prime Minister smiled and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, please take a seat." ”

The door to the conference room closed automatically, the curtains closed, the lights came on, the prime minister took off his oxygen mask, and like Safi, his face was wrinkled and dry, almost making one think he was a zombie.

Lamia and I were amazed by his appearance and took off his mask, and he looked at us for a moment and said, "My name is Sequence Boren, and I'm glad to be, I'm glad to be." ”

I told him our names, and I said, "This was once the ruins of a Remore castle, and we have come to find something buried underneath." ”

Prime Minister Bolun closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said: "I know some antiquities, and we have rescued everything that can be rescued from the ruins. ”

I was so excited that I said, "Can you show me?" ”

"I will," said Prime Minister Boren, "but until then, I am sure that dear Safi has told you that we need your help, Mr. Longinus, and Mrs. Longinus." ”

Now we have two options before us.

The first is to cooperate with them, listen to their arrangements, and be their tool until they are satisfied, but it is like meeting an unsympathetic doctoral supervisor who uses you as cheap labor, so that you don't know when you will be free.

The second is to directly kidnap the prime minister, threaten him to hand over the remaining fire of the living corpse, and then immediately shoot the horse and leave. It's risky, because I don't know what kind of force they're using and what level of technology they're at.

The answer is obvious.

I sneered and made a gesture to shake Bolen's hand, but in fact, I condensed the telepathic blade in my hand, and in a moment shorter than the blink of an eye, he would fall into my grasp.....

Lamia preemptively said, "We will help you." At the same time, she held my hand down.

I thought to myself, "How does she know what I'm thinking?" ”

Her thoughts came to my head: "Lack of a can read your surface thoughts, I can know your little ninety-nine through a lack of a plus." ”

Ah, Laca, you told Lamia this terrible secret? Are you no longer my sweet little padded jacket? Don't you long for my gentle touches and sweet kisses anymore....

Oh God, no, please don't deduct any more money from my account, it's not much, it's really not much, it's more, it's more.

Bolun smiled with joy, he let out a long sigh and sighed, "These are really difficult times, you two. Beyond the Aether, you have also seen that demons have taken over all of London, and I suspect even within the borders of the United Kingdom.

And what about the Aether Sea? It really protects us from the devil. But every time we breathe, we inhale the aetheric substance, causing us to mutate, and although we have strong physical strength, we have a very short lifespan, and the oldest is only 60 years old.

We are also facing a shortage of food, and there are some soybeans growing in these black houses, but these beans are also contaminated with the ether, and there is no good way to store them. We had to venture out on the rooftops to catch some of the mutated birds, which were so large in March and September that we would have sharpshooters hunt them, barely enough for a few thousand of us. If the birds are unlucky and the birds are diverted, there will be people among us who will starve to death.

Of course, there is also the heavy rainstorm, the moisture will be mixed in the ether and spread throughout the building, and even in every building, if we don't do it properly, we will become very heavy, and some people will be flattened by gravity, leaving them disabled for a lifetime. Moreover, there is also a feather haunt."

I asked, "What is Feather?" ”

"It's a demon, at least we think it's a demon," Boren said. This demon manipulates human gravity and usually keeps us in the air and waits for us to fall unconscious before eating our flesh.

Fortunately, there are not many feathers, and even if they are fatal, there is still a way to escape.

Nothing compares to the cunning of humanity, our fellow citizens, who are our deadliest enemies. That's the royalists! These damn traitors. ”

I asked, "Royalists?" How can there be such a party? ”

"They are dangerous, they are dangerous in thought and action, they divide us, the survivors, and they make our compatriots bleed in vain in the struggle," Boren said. They are enemies that must be vigilant and must be addressed. ”
