"What's going on?" Si Xingfeng couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, he couldn't be mistaken, he obviously came from that place. Quickly running towards the weird Gothic-style high cathedral, Si Xingfeng himself fell into deep confusion, "Could it be that I remember wrong?" I've never been on that street, and I've never encountered any strange creatures like cats and foxes......"

Suddenly, Si Xingfeng seemed to think of something, and hurriedly took out the dagger that had been inserted back into the scabbard. Without deliberately sniffing, an unpleasant smell that seemed to be a mixture of feces and rotting flesh instantly poured straight into his nostrils.

This confirmed that the battle between him and the fox cat was not an illusion, but why did the street disappear abruptly when he came?

At this moment, Xiao Cong helped Gu Qi to follow him from behind.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Gu Qi still couldn't stop coughing, and he didn't know if he hurt his lungs, "Xiao Ming, are you very confused?" ”

Si Xingfeng nodded, "Teacher Guqi, do you know what's going on?" I swear, I never met that fox cat! You smell, this dagger has touched its claws and smelled of it! ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, take it away, ahem, ahem......" Now Zi Guqi coughed even more severely, obviously the smell of incomparable smell made him very uncomfortable.

"Xiao Ming, remember when I told you that the ruins of the Magic City have been changing their location in recent years?" Gucci poured another sip of water into his mouth, "Originally, everyone judged that this ruin was just moving irregularly in space, but I didn't realize until just now that it was actually affected by the combination of time and space at the same time. ”

"Old Gu, you made it clear! I've heard this in the clouds, it's strange that Xiao Ming can understand it, what the hell is going on? Xiao Cong was also a little anxious at this moment, after all, Ergou didn't know that he was trapped in a corner of this strange city at the moment, and his life and death were uncertain.

"Ahem, to put it simply, we're in the ruins in front of us, and we're not here." Gucci reached out and touched the magnificent mural carvings of the church in front of him. "Or every once in a while, even if we don't move where we are, our position changes."

Si Xingfeng and Xiao Cong looked at each other, but they still didn't understand what Gu Qi meant.

Seeing that these two people looked like elm heads, Gu Qi was also annoyed, "It's mine, ahem, isn't the language organization good?" ”

"I mean, if we stay absolutely still, then the space we're in changes over time. Even, we will see the life that once existed here in the ruins of this moment, or see what happened here! ”

Xiao Cong hurriedly waved his hand, "Old Gu, don't talk about it, I'm really getting more and more confused now!" ”

Although Xiao Cong didn't understand, Si Xingfeng had actually roughly understood what Gu Qi meant.

What Gucci wants to express is that at all points of time and space, all things that have appeared in this ruin have the potential to meet across time and space.

"So, Mr. Gucci, does that mean that the monster I killed is essentially dead!" Si Xingfeng asked. "That's why it smells bad, but it's its own corpse stench, right?"

"That's pretty much what it means, any lifeform in this ruin is equivalent to surviving in several space-time nodes at the same time, and as long as it doesn't die in one of them, then it can continue to live here!" "Even us, of course, only within the space of this ruin!" ”

"No wonder this is the City of Magic, it turns out that here, people can become immortal!" Gucci muttered.

Xiao Cong was completely stunned, he seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Gu Qi strongly. "You're limited by knowledge and mindset, so you can't understand everything I'm talking about. But there are some things that you don't need to explore the reasons for their appearance, as long as you grasp the laws of how things work. ”

Xiao Cong's head is about to explode at this moment, what time, space, and time and space work together, he really doesn't understand it at all.

"First of all, one death here does not mean real extinction!" Gucci said. "But if he has unfortunately died here once, then once the lifeform leaves the spatial range of this ruin, he will die immediately, which is why the countless white bones outside this ruin appear.

"What's more, even if a lifeform dies countless times in the space-time of this ruin, the life-like that person who survives in another space-time node will not have any memories of it."

Xiao Cong listened to a plausible sound, but fortunately, his brain was flexible, and he still roughly understood what Gu Qi meant.

"Old Gu, does that mean that once you step here, although I am me, I am not exactly me! I may have been in a crisis and died once, but I don't know it myself. And once I choose to leave here, I may even blink and turn into dry bones. ”

"That's basically what it means!" Gucci nodded hurriedly. "But if it were us, it wouldn't be possible to turn into dry bones in the blink of an eye, after all, we have only been in here for half a day!"

"It's horrible here, let's go." Xiao Cong said, don't look at his usual appearance of holding a pearl of wisdom, but once something uncontrollable occurs, his timid and cautious nature is still exposed.

"Although this site may collapse or collapse at any time, it is actually a better choice for me at the moment." As he spoke, Gooch tore off his curtain-like garment, revealing his own extremely serious injuries. "Even if I get out of here, in my current state, it will be difficult to return to the fortress alive, but here, as long as I hold on for a while, then it will be almost difficult for me to be completely killed!"

"But, Mr. Gucci, are you still like that?" Si Xingfeng asked.

"I also just figured out why this relic was clearly revered as a holy city by the Demon Dao Transcendents, but now it is empty!" A look of sarcasm appeared on the corner of Gucci's mouth, "Because there have been countless people living here, who are tireless and do not know the truth, and carry out all kinds of magic-related work here. ”

"But when the magic system is really almost complete, the people who live here should be truly aware of everything, and the real controllers of this city should be driven out of the city!" Gucci looked at the lonely city, and his pale face couldn't help but flash a trace of sadness. "The white bones outside the city are also here because of this, but I don't know who is leading all this, this heart is too ruthless, in order to cover up the truth, it can be so vicious!"

"Old Gu, it can't be said that the residents of this city have also lived many years longer than the people outside?" Xiao Cong has always believed in the egoism of cutting grass and eradicating roots, but he doesn't think it's a big deal for the people behind the scenes to drive some people out of the city.

"If it's just to let some people who don't know the truth and keep recuperating in health completely disappear!" Gucci shook his head, "After all, you can't live as yourself, and death may be a relief!" ”

Xiao Cong nodded: "Yes, it was originally a person who had died, but it was nothing more than losing the right to live forever in the city!" ”

"But there are nearly a million dry bones outside the city, and this man has made up his mind to cover up the secret!" Gooch said with some anger, "If it were you, what would you do before you expel everyone from the city to make sure nothing goes wrong?" ”

"Slaughter, slaughter the city, kill everyone first......" Xiao Cong put himself in his shoes and thought about it, and said his answer with some shock.

……

The three of them immediately stopped talking, even if Xiao Cong was fierce and ruthless enough to flatter himself, but it seemed like this kind of unconscionable thing, but he knew that he couldn't do it, which shows what a cruel person this guy who once controlled the fate of the whole city was.

"Let's go, cough cough, let's go find Ergou together! Then the three of you will get out of here at once, and there should be nothing alive or anything of real value left in this ruin! Since Guqi decided that it would be difficult for him to get out of here, a majesty gradually rose from the inside out, "On the contrary, there should be a lot of beasts, so you should be more careful." ”

"Hey, old Gu, are you really not leaving?" Xiao Cong asked.

"I really can't go, I know my own injuries, and my current physical function is average, even if I go out, I can't survive to return to the fortress!" Gucci sighed.

"Then should you explain something to me?" Xiao Cong asked a little shyly, "For example, who are you, and what is your real identity in the Far Eastern Fortress?" I thought I would be able to rely on you to cover me when I arrived at the Far Eastern Fortress, but if you make up your mind to stay here, I won't go there......"

Gucci: "......"

"Yes, Teacher Gucci, even I can see that your identity is not simple, can you still hide it from the snake master?" Si Xingfeng interjected.

"Ahem, I didn't want to hide it from you." With a wry smile on his face, Gu Qi couldn't help coughing again, "It's true that I'm not just an ordinary float boat pilot, but you haven't asked, so in order to avoid trouble, I simply won't talk about it." ”

"The Far Eastern Fortress is huge, far bigger than you think! I have also lived in Jujing City for a few years, and I have found that people here have a good yearning for Zhongzhou, and think that the Far Eastern Fortress is a bitter cold and dangerous place. Putting his hand on Si Xingfeng's shoulder, Gu Qi continued, "Actually, this is not the case, because in the eyes of both the people of Zhongzhou and the residents of the Far Eastern Fortress, the people of Jujing are not much different from the barbarian savages. ”

Xiao Cong nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I still had illusions, it seems that Jujing City is really a very barren place. ”

"I don't know how to tell you, strictly speaking, the survival mode of the Floating City is very different from our Far Eastern Fortress." Gooch clenched his other hand into a fist, "The Far Eastern Fortress is more like a fist, a whole. ”

Immediately, he opened his hand again, "The city-state of Zhongzhou is more like bone joints, which together form a complete palm.

"Old Gu, do you mean that just like every different system of transcendent powers, different regions also have different modes of survival?" Xiao Cong rolled his eyes and asked.

"Probably so! The transcendents have different power systems, and each region has a different political and social system! Gu Qi sighed, "Actually, the former floating city system should be the most powerful and complete social system in this world, but it's a pity...... Ay! ”

"Politics? Society? Xiao Cong was a little incomprehensible again.

"If there are more people, it will become a group, and if there are more groups, it will become society, and the game between various groups is politics!" Gu Qi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "If you go to the Far Eastern Fortress in the future, someone will teach you these things!" ”

Xiao Cong doesn't understand it, but the many words that appear in Gu Qi's mouth, Si Xingfeng is very familiar. In the last civilization, these things seem to have been recorded in the ancient Oriental country, and the system books called "nine-year compulsory education" were known to everyone in that era.

"But, Mr. Gucci!" Si Xingfeng seemed to be very honest, "You still haven't said, who are you?" ”
