Jiang Yao was surprised again.

I thought that Razor would continue to talk about joining the knife wielder, after all, the atmosphere was all set here.

I didn't expect him to change his words, and suddenly there was a 180-degree turn.

"Since the ban has not been lifted...... Is this what I can hear? ”

Jiang Yao wants to say that if he doesn't want to know those secrets, it must be fake, but he is afraid that Lei Ze will dig a hole for himself, and he won't know if he will get on the 'thief ship' inexplicably.

"Stinky boy, just praised you for not spending your intestines, waiting for me here?"

Lei Ze scolded with a smile, of course he knew what Jiang Yao was thinking,

"Young people are too vigilant to make friends."

Jiang Yao, who was seen through his thoughts, was not embarrassed, and replied seriously,

"The world is impermanent, people's hearts are unpredictable, you always have to be a little vigilant, right?"

When Razor heard this, his face became strange,

"Why do I listen to you doing this to the detriment of me?"

Jiang Yao coughed dryly,

"No, you must be thinking too much."

Razor didn't dwell on the topic and quickly skipped over.

"In fact, there have been a total of eight candlelight events in Aqua Blue."

"The seventh time wasn't three months ago......

"Rather, eight years ago."

Eight years ago......

This extremely sensitive phrase immediately tugged at Jiang Yao's heartstrings.

He didn't know why, but he immediately thought of his parents.

Didn't they suddenly disappear eight years ago?

"What happened eight years ago?"

Jiang Yao asked as he followed.

Razor kept his mouth shut, saying nothing.

In the retro interior of the car, only the noise of the car is made.

The old Santana was not slow, and plunged headlong into a dark tunnel.

Jiang Yao noticed the sudden change in light, turned his head to look out the window, and found that he couldn't see anything at all.

Except for the Santana headlights illuminating a small patch ahead, everything else was shrouded in darkness.

He took out his phone to check the location, and the map showed that he was stuck on a road on the outskirts of the city, not moving.

This is clearly at odds with the situation he finds himself in now.

Santana is still accelerating.

Razor stepped on the gas pedal without saying a word, and the pitch-black tunnel ahead was still endless.

Jiang Yao wanted to ask something, but before he could ask, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in front of him.

He subconsciously closed his eyes.

Then he opened it again, and found that Santana had roared out of the tunnel, and was now galloping through a valley at dusk.

A straight asphalt road stretches forward, and at the end stands a huge iron tower.

As far as the eye can see, the top of the tall tower towers into the sky, and the bottom is hundreds of meters wide.

The pure black material has a metallic texture, and it just stands silently in the sunset, giving people a strong sense of shock and mystery.

"What kind of tower is this?!"

Jiang Yao was dumbfounded.

Having grown up in the city for 17 years, he had never heard of such a huge tower on the outskirts of Nanjin.

Wrong!

Based on the size of the tower, it should be visible from a distance even in the center of the city, where there are many high-rise buildings.

But why has no one ever seen it?

Besides

He could also feel a strong unknown energy filling the entire valley.

Driven by this energy, the bone that had burrowed into his spine began to move.

Jiang Yao's heart swelled with all kinds of doubts, but Lei Ze didn't say anything at this time, just drove Santana steadily, and drove straight towards the tower at the end.

As the distance closes, the energy in the air becomes more and more intense.

The bone in Jiang Yao's body also became more and more excited.

A fiery evil intent began to spread down his spine and toward his skull.

Jiang Yao tried his best to suppress the changes in his body, while distracting himself from observing the source of this unknown energy.

Some of them came from the giant tower in front, and some came from the glowing white orbs that floated in the valleys on either side.

Looking out of the car window,

Each of those balls of light was the size of an adult's head, weightless as if they were floating in the wind in the dusky valley.

They were all surrounded by the setting sun and beneath the towers, floating like a hot sea of fluorescent.

Jiang Yao was completely fascinated by this scene, and he saw that each ball of light emitted a little bit of light.

It's like dandelions, all of them drift towards the tower, and they continue to flow into it.

A majestic pillar of energy light burst out from the top of the tower, rushing straight into the sky.

The pillar of light stretched out a huge barrier over the heavenly dome, like an invisible dome umbrella.

The overlay of the sky and the sun shrouded the valley and the four wildernesses.

This incredible scene, Jiang Yao was simply shocked beyond measure.

Ten minutes later, Santana stopped at the base of the tower.

Razor rekindled a cigarette.

He raised his head and looked up at the huge tower that stood like a mountain in front of him.

Jiang Yao also followed.

You can see that the light curtain on the top of the iron tower has broken through a hole.

Two figures were operating a massive instrument on the top of the tower.

The invisible force dragged those balls of light in the valley to emit more energy, and they all converged into the tower and then rushed to the sky.

The hole in the dome is being filled in little by little.

"It's a lighthouse."

Razor spoke softly.

"Lighthouse?"

Jiang Yao keenly grasped this brand-new word, and felt that he had suddenly come into contact with some kind of truth.

"Each city has four lighthouses, which together support a canopy and protect each city."

Razor's voice was flat, as if he were recounting an ordinary event.

But when it fell on Jiang Yao's ears, it instantly stirred up turbulent waves.

He stared suddenly at the huge towering iron tower, and at the rippling energy canopy on the sky.

I suddenly remembered the question that Donchico had asked at the end of school earlier.

Why is it that the ring belt, which was formed a hundred years ago, has never been seen before?

And why did it pop up in the past two days??

Because

It has always been hidden behind the canopy of the lighthouse!

It wasn't until the ghost gate that came the night before yesterday broke the canopy that the original world revealed its true corner!

"Whew-"

After the canopy hole,

Suddenly a hideous shadow swept by,

A terrifying scream came from above the sky, and it went straight to my mind!

"How is this possible!"

Jiang Yao felt that the worldview he had built up in 17 years was rapidly collapsing.

"We've always lived under the protection of the lighthouse?!"

"And what about the outside world??"

"If every city has 4 of these huge lighthouses, why has no one ever found them??"

Regarding Jiang Yao's overreaction, Lei Ze seemed to have expected it a long time ago.

He took a puff of a low-quality paper cigarette and explained calmly,

"This area is called 'Dustless Realm', and ordinary people can't go through that tunnel, and they can't see what's going on inside."

"Dust-free? So what? ”

"'Dustless Realm' is the ability of the Heavenly Official [Turing], which you can understand as a kind of illusion......"

"Or rather, a targeted space domain."
