As soon as Ringo arrived on Tongshen Island, he felt a strong discomfort.

It's almost the exact opposite of the sun-drenched Isle of the Sun.

It's so gloomy and dark.

Even the narrow and crowded Third Disc would in no way affect the light of the inhabitants. The idlers there love nothing more than basking in the sun on their beds and chairs leaning against the street.

Turbo would never deprive anyone of the right to bask in the sun. Even convicts who are in custody can apply for one to two hours of sun rest every day. They left behind a tradition of seeing the sun as a sacred object.

They believe that people will get sick if they don't get in the sun, and trees will rot if they don't get sun. Even if it's a metallic prosthesis, you should take the time to take it out and dry it, otherwise the yin energy wrapped around it will easily make people go crazy - yes, they see basking in the sun as a kind of earthwork to stop cyber psychosis.

Although the Cyber Church has never promoted the Sun Faith, there is still such a folk custom in the Sun Island.

Only those who have gone to school will know that this is ridiculous...... But after they went to school, they would no longer have any contact with the fools in the third circle. But even so, the scholars of Sun Island have never debunked this folk belief.

Or rather, they are also enjoying and loving the dim sun above the gray dome.

And Tongshen Island is the other extreme.

It seems to tell how the city will become depraved and filthy after losing the sun......

The time they arrived at Tongshen Island was half past two in the afternoon.

This point can be said to be afternoon, but at least it is not far from noon. But after they got off the airboat, they just walked in one direction for hundreds of meters, and then drowned in the dark steel forest.

The sunlight overhead was almost completely obscured, and only between the metal skeletons that overlapped like thorns and tree canopies, there was a small needle-like light.

And they look so pale, dim, and weak against the background of neon lights.

Instead, there are neon signs that can be seen everywhere.

Red, purple, green, pink, blue......

In the dimly lit alleys, these signs shine as brightly as they can.

Either extremely contrasting colors, high-frequency flickering, or shiny to dazzling lights;

and the obscene advertisements on the big screens; and a brainwashing advertisement that sounded repeatedly accompanied by Tuhi music.

It is only to attract the attention of others, even at the expense of disturbing the people's inferior advertising methods, so that all kinds of streamers are reflected on the faces of passers-by, making them change into various colors, and even constantly changing.

The seductive murmurs are accompanied by the sound of canned laughter, and the sensational saxophone and the vibrant electronic music disturb each other's atmosphere.

The crappy comedian on the left screen looks like a clown, wearing a dress one size bigger and stammering to greet his girlfriend's parents, while at the same time pronouncing the brand name in a stammering voice, which happens to form a bad joke; On the screen on the right, a young man in a straight suit with oily hair and a pink face is borrowing a long list of advertising words at high speed with his mouth borrowed a minute and ran out of words in a hurry.

Walking further, a middle-aged lady with a jeweled face on the left introduced her jewelry with a red face, and at the same time contemptuously belittled the users of "miscellaneous jewelry"; Opposite her happened to be an advertisement selling "affordable jewelry", and the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl also enthusiastically introduced the luxury offer of buying two and getting three free for a limited time. Although it is a pre-recorded advertisement, it happens to be divided one by one at the moment, like the women on both sides of the screen arguing in a weird way.

And the passers-by on the street have long been familiar with this noisy scene.

At most, they put their hands in front of their mouths to gather sound to make their voices clear when they are on the phone. Or they reach out and cover one ear in a frustrated attempt to hear what the other side is saying.

Two or three o'clock in the afternoon...... There weren't really many people on the street at this time. Busy with business are all office workers, and you can also see some teenagers speeding through the middle of the road on jet skateboards, speeding through the middle of the road at a very dangerous speed, and patting them on the shoulder when passing by, as if they were pranking to say hello.

"It's ...... It's so depraved. ”

Lin Yi frowned: "The walls on the side of this street are covered with green moss, and the street is full of garbage...... There's even a graffiti drawn on the wall with a highlighter!

"I even smelled the rancid smell. This is the case when the city is not well lit and too humid. The cool glow of these neons doesn't really bring dryness and warmth. ”

"Neon lights can't bring dryness and warmth, but at least they can illuminate the way."

Russell just shook his head and gave a gentle negative remark.

Lin Yi disagreed.

But her good professionalism and obviously don't plan to quarrel with Russell.

So she took the topic directly, frowned at the steel city that undoubtedly belonged to "degenerate, prodigal, and ignorant" in her opinion, and asked, "Where do we start?"

"Why don't you go find a passer-by and ask first?"

Hearing this, Russell couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Yi asked with some dissatisfaction, "What's wrong?" Did I say anything stupid? ”

"Ah, nothing. But how to say it...... I think it's going to be soon......"

Russell's language is unknown.

But just when Lin Yi wanted to ask the riddle cat next to him, what did he want to say.

But a skateboarder swept past her, slapped her on the shoulder, and shoved her staggering.

"-Yo!"

He shouted so loudly that the jet skateboard twisted and swung and swiped into the crowd.

"What is he doing!"

Lin Yi was suddenly pushed, and his tail was a little fried.

Her face was full of unhappiness: "It's rude-"

"You should be glad you didn't have anything with you that could easily be stolen."

Russell, who was walking beside her, said leisurely: "Otherwise, I'm afraid it's no longer on you now."

Or rather, you should be glad it's on the street. Otherwise, maybe it wasn't just a push for you...... Instead, they put a sharp wire trap around your neck. ”

“…… Why? ”

Lin Yi frowned: "I look like the kind of person I hate?" ”

As she spoke, she subconsciously followed Russell into a dim alley.

The opposite side of the alley is still bustling with people, even in the afternoon.

At this time, Russell suddenly stopped in the middle. Reaching out to grab Lin Ye's shoulder, motioning for her to stop.

"Of course, it's because we're outsiders...... The first time I came in, I was already discovered. ”

Russell said softly.

Three tall and thin figures appeared at the end of the alley against the light.

Lin Yi turned back vigilantly and found that there were also two people blocking the alley at the retreat.

Less than twenty minutes after getting off the boat, the two of them were stuck in the alley.
