Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Stars Will Not Be Allowed to Reach the Right Place
Light and dark streets, deep and endless night sky.
Underneath the rather unusually bright moon glow is an impressive, incomparably beautiful complex of medieval town-like buildings, delicate and mysterious.
Retro and gorgeous, full of a little dark feeling, but it seems to have a sacred atmosphere, black and white.
Dark, decadent, cold, and a terrifying atmosphere, which makes people feel depressed and empty, showing obvious grotesqueness, but inevitably containing a deadly mysterious charm -
It seems to be able to inspire people to be disgusted with the state of reality, to explore the mysterious primordial power, and then to pursue the strange pleasures of the abyss of the soul.
It is a town that stands under the night as bright as day, and it is a large continuous complex of buildings that seem to be built in the midst of a demon world or a fairyland, as if it is a fantasy between dream and reality.
But now, these dreams and fantasies have penetrated into reality and appeared in front of people's eyes.
The spires and towers pierce into the sky, as if they are going straight to heaven, it is high and straight, the shape and lines of the façade appear complex and light, whether it is the dexterous and upright pointed arches, or the transparent and light flying buttresses, are full of upward tension.
Pilasters and statues look like the arms of giants, enamel paintings are dazzling, marble reliefs are intricately carved and intricately carved arches rise one after another, piercing the sky proudly. It creates an atmosphere of divinity that is detached from the earthly and mysterious and sublime
The statues and the majestic buildings seem to have been recreated from a period of history, rather than being built in the last month.
They looked at each other, slightly doubtful of life, and fell into a strange mood of self-doubt and self-denial. After all, everyone is not a mixed meal, and the people who can appear here are absolutely one in terms of ability and quality.
There is no possibility of fishing in troubled waters and indiscriminately, so everyone has done their homework in advance and is well prepared.
Whether it is videos, photos or written materials, as well as inquiries from some veteran tourists, as well as the oral accounts of experienced tour guides and even the locals themselves, they all completely paint a picture of the scenery of a beautiful island in Mexico -
About 30 miles long and 10 miles wide, this humble island is one of the top dive sites in the Western Hemisphere......
The influx of tourists from all over the world each year makes it one of the busiest ports in Mexico, with seven cruise ships a day said to be at its busiest......
The tourist economy is thriving, and walking in the city center, the streets crisscrossed are almost all shops and small commodity markets, and the specialties are jewelry, tequila and Cuban cigars. The bungalows are often roofed with seaweed, which is quite Mexican style......
Walking along the center of Cozumer, there is a clean and tidy seaside sightseeing road on one side, and along the coastline are lined with sculptures with a strong Caribbean style and quite a modern urban fashion shape, and on the other side there are buildings with a strong Caribbean style, and there are not many high-rise buildings......
INTERVIEWER Theoretically, this is the way to go.
Even if the tsunami were a direct blow and the entire island was washed away by the flood, it would have been a post-disaster scenario.
If the extraordinary people choose to rebuild the towns on the island, they will definitely try to restore them to their original appearance.
And due to some stereotype and lack of cognition, although they admit that the technological system mastered by the mysterious world has incomparably powerful destructive power, they do not feel that the other party also has the same technical power in terms of creation and repair.
After all, it is always easier to destroy than to create, and the earth is full of traces of modern civilization, whether it is a city, a town, or a village.
On the contrary, those crystallizations related to mysteries, such as castles, pyramids, dungeons, hanging gardens and the like, or legendary buildings, are rare, and even if they do, they are often in disrepair.
Doesn't that tell the story?! And in reality, there is only one infrastructure maniac like Huaxia!
It can be said that before this, the ambassadors of various countries subconsciously held such cognitions and thoughts, until now they have really passed through the fog and arrived after Kozumel......
What they saw and heard in front of them was like a huge hammer like a tall building, swinging it violently, smashing the strange cognition in their minds, and all other thoughts.
Everyone's heads were blank, their feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, and the whole person seemed to be floating in the clouds, with a fluttering feeling, or a strong dreamlike sense of unreality.
The building complex in front of me is like a building complex standing in a fairyland, not like an earthly symbol...... Is this really your own destination?
Then the ambassadors even have to wonder if they have gone to the wrong place, or have traveled through time and space in the fog to some other strange place.
Is this Kozumel?
How could this be Kozumel!
I and the others must have gone to the wrong address, or is that misty sea area actually a chaotic time and space, and I and the others have just passed through the time and space tunnel?
In this way, in the midst of such a chaotic mind, they left the port in a daze, following the people who came to greet them, that is, the official extraordinaries who had touched the island before—
As for the people in the mysterious world, none of them were present, and it seemed that they were not impressed by their arrival at all, nor did they feel that this was a very careful visit.
After the ambassadors came to their senses, they were not angry or angry, after all, they had been mentally prepared, and the people who could be entrusted with important tasks were not the kind of people who took it for granted and felt that everyone in the world had to give themselves a face.
Strictly speaking, it was a very high-value contact and visit, but it was not a two-way street.
It's just that the official extraordinaries who have touched Kozumel have actively carried out activities under the premise of ensuring their own safety, and after being initially accepted by those people in the mysterious world, they have worked hard to win the opportunity.
It was an opportunity, but it only persuaded the island to take over the local magic society and let them allow outsiders to enter it. As long as you don't come here to make trouble, you just turn a blind eye.
However, no matter how cold the attitude of the mysterious side is, countries must be cautious about this major event, and the opportunity is always seized by themselves, not waited.
……
……
The group was led out of the harbor and boarded at a strange station nearby, but not in a taxi, but in a motorized rail car.
Similar to an unmanned transport armored vehicle, the vehicle has a heavily armored door on one side and a soft seat facing each other inside. Inside, there is a fluorescent light on the roof of the car to illuminate the interior, and there is a small viewing window on the wall to let in the light.
Generally speaking, there are ten people in a carriage, and although the visiting mission is mixed with members from various countries, it is not expensive, so the number of people is about forty or fifty, which is completely sufficient.
The railcars run smoothly along the tracks laid on the neat brick streets.
Sitting in the compartment of one of the cars, looking out through the window that did not look like glass, the Chinese ambassador forced himself to suppress the shock and shock in his heart, turned his head and said to the cold and glamorous beauty in front of him with a pleasant face:
"This ...... Hello Team Leader Chai, it's a pleasure to meet you, you have really made a great contribution this time. ”
"I can't say that I can't say that I have made a big contribution, and now I have only made a start, and then I have to rely on your efforts, Mr. Zhang."
Miss Chai Ying nodded, and then said the official language one by one, she suddenly had a very unpleasant feeling in her heart, it was only a year, but her changes seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
"Yes, but at least they're finally willing to make contact with us, aren't they?" Mr. Ambassador smiled, his tone firm, as if full of confidence. "How's your progress?"
"It's going well, but it's not going well, we've managed to establish some connections with the local magic associations, and they're willing to get in touch with us......"
Miss Chai Ying shook her head and said thoughtfully.
"There should also be a meaning from above, but it seems that those mysterious big people are a little interested and don't pay too much attention to it."
"It's okay to be interested...... In fact, from the moment we successfully landed on the island, we were equivalent to winning. Mr. Ambassador shook his head, apparently with a different view.
"The moment you successfully landed on the island, you already won?"
Miss Chai Ying was stunned for a moment, and then said seriously with a strange face: "I think it's better not to make any drastic moves, although according to our investigation, it can be determined that there is no demon king-level existence staying on Kozumel, but it is also ...... here."
"Wait, Team Leader Chai, what are you thinking? The Americans have already hit their heads and bled out, and we won't be so iron-headed! Mr. Ambassador interrupted her with a smile, "We are not playing a Trojan horse, nor do we think that we can take this place with dozens of us combined. ”
"What did you just say...... What is the meaning? "Miss Shan Ponytail is not too relieved.
Although there are no demon kings and gods on Kozumel, the local leader of the Magic Society is the title knight, that is, a demigod. It is said that he was given the gift of divinity and gained the ability to transcend the human realm.
"I mean, aren't we here to find a way to deal with the apocalyptic crisis?" Mr. Ambassador explained carefully, "Since these people are still in the mood to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build such a town at this time, isn't it enough to explain the problem?" ”
Either the apocalyptic thing is purely non-existent.
Either that, in the eyes of these mysterious people, even if it is the end of the world, there is actually nothing to be afraid of.
No matter what, the goal they came over this time is equivalent to a direct achievement, and it is not too much to say that this battle has been won from the moment they landed on the island.
Miss Chai Ying opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.
The ambassador seemed to relax, and he turned his head to look through the transparent amber window at the magnificent scenery outside, still a little incredulous that this was an island in Mexico.
And after going deep into it, he can also see that many complex forms of machinery are organically combined with the whole town, and it seems that all kinds of old-shaped, large-scale, complex but modern mechanical devices, vehicles and even weapons may be weapons.
Mechanical transmissions, gears, knobs, pipes, pressure rafts, and other elements can be found everywhere, and there are even pitch-black tracks that hover over the town, connecting towers and spires.
There are cars connected together, whizzing over the empty tracks.
At first glance, it looks like a giant roller coaster, and even the entire town below is shrouded in it, or rather a part of this quirky "paradise".
"By the way, how can it be night?" Mr. Ambassador suddenly thought of something very important, "We came in at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the boat had been on the road for about forty minutes......
"Is it because when we're navigating through the fog, we're actually spending more time than we perceive? Or is it because here in Cozumel, the same thing happened to the Demon Capital, the Eternal Moon phenomenon? ”
“……”
“……”
Miss Chai Ying hesitated for a moment, and then said: "No, this is because the laws here and the outside world are completely reversed, if it is daytime outside, it is night now......"
The Ambassador did not speak, but his gaze was clearly inquiring.
"I've heard them say that the sky and the universe are one, so that mysterious king has messed up the sky and time here in Cozumel......"
Miss Chai Ying said thoughtfully.
"We don't know why, it's said that there is something extremely important underneath, so the king will never allow the stars to get to the right place."
