Chapter 8: The Clock Tower
After feeling the hardness of her back, Lily slowly lowered her hands and legs until she was completely lying flat, and she was completely sure that she was indeed on a strange platform that was a little elastic but could not be seen.
So, Lily sat up slowly with the help of her hands, and the first thing that caught her eye was the surprisingly large but three-wheeled bright moon in the sky.
Where can you see such a view from the Blue Star? Lily subconsciously grew her mouth.
"It's so beautiful...... Lily stood up, even trying to get a little closer to the place where the three moons were.
But then, Lily felt something out of the corner of her eye, and she turned her head to the left to make sure she was seeing.
This look shocked Lily and couldn't help but take two steps back, and once again sat on this strange transparent but elastic plane.
It turned out that not far from Lily's eyes, there was a huge indescribable dial, the shape of the dial is very similar to the landmark of Dunlun City, Big Ben, but it is more ancient than the centuries-old Big Ben, and even has a slight sense of decay.
The dial as a whole is milky white, but Lily, the character used to mark the time on it, can't understand it, it looks like the square word of Xia Guo, how can it be a square word?
The hands on the dial are also strange...... No, it wasn't appropriate to say that the pointer was inappropriate, and Lily looked at it intently, and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
It was a strange existence of a queue of up to 12 and at least 7 wooden horses, similar to the hour, minute, and second hands.
Although I don't know why, Lily just intuitively knew that those horses with flexible legs, galloping postures, and flying hair were wooden, and Lily herself was baffled by her sudden thought.
Whenever the "minute hand" or "second hand" and "hour hand" meet, the wooden horses regroup their own queues, quickly splitting and regrouping without destroying the time count, forming a new hour, minute and second hand.
Outside the dial is a towering clock tower with extremely complex patterns, the shape of Lily does not know how to describe, compared to the style of Big Ben, there are many less elements that Lily is familiar with, but it reminds Lily of a certain article she saw in a picture book about the Yellow Crane Tower of the Xia Kingdom, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and other tower-shaped buildings.
Following the structure of the clock tower, Lily suddenly looked up again.
She almost forgot that she was still high in the air, and the soles of her feet were strange transparent planes, and she really didn't dare look down.
But that didn't stop Lily from lamenting what she had just seen, who could have built such a majestic miracle?
At least there was no such building in the human world as she knew.
Such a building could not have been built by humans, Lily judged.
"Do gods really exist?" Lily was a little hard at the mercy of it.
Due to the special nature of the orphanage, in addition to the necessary reading and literacy, the orphanage will also set up a theological class for the children in the early stage of school, teaching the Bible.
But Lily didn't like theology classes the most, she didn't believe in God at all.
Lily thought as she looked at the majestic clock tower in front of her, and tried to stand up again, she couldn't just sit there all the time, she had to figure out where she was.
As soon as she stood up, Lily suddenly heard a melodious sound of an indescribable bell, as if it had been transmitted from ancient times all the way to the present, echoing in the space she was.
What followed was a terrifying tug that appeared on her chest, which made her feel like her heart, liver and lungs were being pulled together.
She couldn't continue to maintain her balance, and fell directly on the transparent ground, covering her heart tightly with her hands, her face gradually turned from red to black, she couldn't make a sound in her mouth, and her legs subconsciously kicked and kicked gradually weakened, until her eyes were black and she lost consciousness.
At this time, in the extreme distance of the horizon that Lily could not see, a star suddenly flashed into this world, and dragged a long stream of fireflies, flying towards Lily like a space jump, and finally passed through Lily's hands on her chest, and then jumped out from Lily's back, and then circled back in front of Lily, and finally stayed on the back of Lily's hand, slowly disappearing.
Heaven and earth suddenly fell silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
Suddenly, Lily opened her eyes and began to breathe in a rapid, large gulp of air, her eyes bloodshot and her head blank.
"I ...... What's wrong with me? "Lily is a little broken.
But the dull pain in her chest made her slowly regain her thoughts, and she seemed to hear a melodious but ancient bell?
And then...... Then I felt like the organs in my chest were being grabbed by something......
Lily shuddered, and didn't continue to think about it, it was quite a bad experience, and Lily really didn't want to think about it even a little more.
Taking a deep, slow breath, Lily tried to sit up again.
Until now, she hadn't even been able to move a single step on the platform of her own volition...... The world is also too unfriendly.
Not.......!!!
A horn suddenly attracted Lily's attention, causing her to subconsciously look around, looking for the source of the sound, which also made Lily finally realize that the space she was in seemed to be different.
The magnificent old clock tower in front of me disappeared, and in its place, it seemed to be a battlefield.
The reason why Lily judged it to be a battlefield was because Lily saw two armies in completely opposite colors of armor on the ground in the distance.
The army on his right hand was all in red armor, and even the armor and drape of the war horse were bright red. The army on his left was blue, a blue that was a little darker than the sky.
"If Stephenson were here, he would have been able to tell me what red and blue it was." The thought crossed Lily's mind.
Then Lily saw that one of the leaders of each of the two armies of the confrontation was riding a tall horse, wearing armor similar to the existence of a general, and came out of the front of the team alone, and they drew their long swords at the same time, and then raised them at the same time, and finally swung forward at the same time, and the action was completed exactly the same, just like the two people in the mirror.
Lily looked at this scene, and suddenly felt a strong sense of disobedience in her heart, but before she could think carefully about the source of the disobedience, she saw that the soldiers of the two armies began to launch a collective charge, and in an instant, the red and blue "oceans" converged, and they were no longer separated from each other.
