Chapter Ninety-Nine: Thinking of the World (3)

Out of the farm, Yang Mingtai's fingers drew an arc in the air, and a long transparent bridge appeared in front of him, and he didn't know where to stretch out. He took his younger siblings and his son to step on the bridge, and the embryonic city that Li Xiang had seen before appeared in front of them, with high-rise buildings lined up one after another. But many of the buildings were still virtual at this time, and there were not many physical buildings – gymnasiums, shopping malls, theaters, and some indoor fitness facilities.

"Is the city also built by Yu Wan?" Li Xiang asked.

"No, I built it after the clone came back from my hometown, and many places are plagiarism. When it comes to plagiarism, Yang Mingtai didn't feel embarrassed.

In the empty shopping mall, the sound of footsteps echoes, but fortunately, I know that this is thinking about the world, so as not to make people panic. The vacant shops inexplicably give people a sense of desolation.

Yang Mingtai said about the feelings of others: "I think that after the world opens up to the outside world, this will be the most lively place. I only made a model room on the third floor, and there was nothing else to see. He beckoned, and a giant python hung down from the third floor, opening its mouth wide.

Mingshu stomped her foot: "Brother, how much do you like this thing, the cliff is this thing, and it is also here." Not everyone likes snakes, but this is a shopping mall, what if it scares people?"

"Hehe, if you don't like it, replace it. Yang Mingtai waved his hand, the giant python disappeared, and many discs appeared on the ground of the hall on the first floor of the mall, forming a circle, which did not look good, just like a clumsy municipal engineer made a circle of manhole covers in the middle of the road, Mingshu and Li Xiang frowned almost at the same time.

"It's not good-looking, you can change it later. Yang Mingtai said.

Stepping on one of the discs, the disc carried four people slowly floated into the air, and when it was level with the ground on the third floor, the disc no longer rose, slowly approaching the railing, and when it touched the railing, the railing disappeared, and the disc flew into the corridor on the third floor. After the four of them left the disc, the disc was embedded in the floor of the hallway, becoming a "manhole cover" in the corridor on the third floor.

Li Xiang was quite curious about this phenomenon that obviously violated the laws of physics. Yang Mingtai kneaded Li Xiang's hair into a chicken nest with a big hand, "Forget your science, this is our world, and the rules are naturally made by us." ”

Li Xiang was used to being rubbed by Mingshu, and he didn't care, he stared at the manhole cover, which slowly deformed, and finally became a light blue diamond-shaped crystal plate embedded in the floor. He stood up, and with a movement of his mind, the crystal plate lifted off the ground.

"What if someone is afraid of heights?" Mingshu asked.

Four crystal siding panels appeared on the four sides of the diamond, Mingshu and Li Xiang looked at each other and smiled, and the crystal panels fell back to the ground.

The model room that Yang Mingtai said is a garment shop, the room is not big, but there are no goods in it, a black rectangular compartment in the corner is the most conspicuous, Yang Mingtai said that it is a changing room, special material, there are four kinds of consciousness waves in the middle of the mezzanine, which can block all consciousness prying eyes.

In addition, there is a mirror on the left wall and a string of crystal balls hanging in front of the mirror.

Mingshu touched a crystal ball, and one by one the clothes flashed in her sea of consciousness, and she was suddenly attracted by a bohemian skirt, which gradually enlarged and occupied her sea of consciousness. She only had an idea to try it on, and in the mirror she was already wearing a long dress. Mingshu's mouth opened slightly, and then her mind moved, and she put on a lilac windbreaker over her long skirt. After that, the ready-to-wear shop became Mingshu's stage, she touched the crystal ball one by one, and in the mirror, the clothes on her body seemed to change.

"How does it feel?" Yang Mingtai was very satisfied with the setting of the ready-to-wear store, and hoped to be recognized by the two people around him.

Li Xiang looked at Mingshu without blinking, and the answer was not what he asked, "Seventh Sister looks good in everything." Sean nodded desperately. Yang Mingtai couldn't cry or laugh, so he simply stopped asking.

"How about this skirt?" Mingshu in the mirror is wearing a long gray skirt with a high round neck, half-cut sleeves, black edging at the neckline and cuffs, and the sides of the sleeves are split in two, connected by lace edges. The long skirt is knee-high, and the pattern of the skirt is a wave pattern of gray, white and black thin lines interlaced and coiled.

"The hair doesn't match well. Yang Mingtai walked over and untied his sister's ponytail, circled her hair around her fingers, and it took about two or three minutes for her straight hair to turn into big curly waves.

"Pair it with a pair of heels. Li Xiang put forward his own suggestion.

Mingshu found a pair of wedges in a crystal ball. Mingshu in the mirror is no longer a lively, well-behaved and slightly playful girl next door, just like a well-dressed lady with a dusty temperament, with light eyebrows and a shallow smile, demure and elegant, and there is no lack of gentleness.

"Big brother, I want this. As soon as Mingshu's words fell, two straight cracks appeared on the wall opposite the door, and a row of ready-to-wear shelves came out of the wall and slowly drove to Mingshu, Yang Mingtai took off the long skirt and handed it to Mingshu. Mingshu took it and ran to the changing room.

In the corridor, Yang Mingtai and Li Xiang are one left and one right, Mingshu is holding the left and right arms in the middle, and the little boy Sean is on the far left, holding his godfather's hand. The three of them also changed their outfits, and Li Xiang was wearing a crisp suit, which Mingshu chose, saying that it would not look too thin that he would not look too thin. Mingtai wore a long light brown leather trench coat, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and a British-style men's top hat on his head, quite a big brother style. Sean put on an Air Force jacket and learned from his godfather to wear a pair of sunglasses, which is a bit fake and sophisticated.

"Big brother, how will customers pay after the world is opened?" Li Xiang asked Yang Mingtai across Mingshu.

"My idea is to upgrade an existing bracelet in the world, and when a customer leaves the store, the contribution will be automatically deducted from the bracelet. ”

"Fee-free payment?"

"Well, that's right, there seem to be two people surnamed Ma in my hometown who are doing this. ”

Li Xiang frowned slightly: "To be honest, I don't like it very much." It's like a thief who steals your money without knowing it. ”

Yang Mingtai laughed: "Don't worry, every time you pay, there will be news entering your sea of consciousness and telling you how much contribution value you have consumed." As long as a person is not too lazy, there are enough ways to ensure that he gets enough contribution points, and there is no need to worry about not being able to pay. ”

The shop at the end of the corridor is very well-decorated on the outside. Diamond-shaped matte edging tiles are embedded in the wall in an orderly manner, with an ink blue background and dark lines of navy blue. Heavy leather doors, the same color and the same dark lines. The soft light cast by the non-dazzling ceiling lamp leaves a mottled blue on the wall, which is a bit dreamy. The name of this shop is "Phantom".

Walking into the store, it is like being under a deep moonless starry sky, with a tiny ceiling light like a blinking star, and a "Milky Way" diagonally through the dome. The walls on both sides are decorated with honeycomb-like light boxes, the main body of the hive is still black, and the outer edge of the hexagonal shape is white edging, exuding a white glow. In the middle of the door, there is a round table of black marble, surrounded by four high swivel chairs, white, black, orange and yellow, and several spotlights overhead illuminate the brightest area of the room.

Li Xiang looked left and right in the room, thinking of the name of the store "Phantom Song", except for KTV, he couldn't think of any other function in the room. But there was no stereo in the room, no TV or projection, not even a microphone to be found.

"Practice a song?" Yang Mingtai sent out an invitation, Mingshu and Li Xiang glanced at each other, and found that the other party was a little confused, so they turned their heads and motioned for the eldest brother to come first.

Yang Mingtai beckoned, and a red ball flew out of the darkness, with a rod of unknown material inserted into the red ball, and a circular base under the rod. Yang Mingtai took off his top hat, and the red ball with a rod flew to the top of Yang Mingtai's head and stood there.

"Teletubbies?" Li Xiang struggled to resist the urge to cover his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitching constantly, holding back a little hard. Mingshu didn't care about it, holding her stomach and lying on the table laughing, her palm constantly hitting the table. Li Xiang couldn't help it, and the person shrank down from the high chair, squatted on the ground and laughed. Sean looked at the Seventh Aunt and the Ninth Uncle with some puzzlement, not knowing why they were laughing. However, when the song sounded, the seventh aunt and the ninth uncle soon stopped laughing.

Yang Mingtai's mouth did not move, but the singing voice echoed in the room. "The sky is blue by feather velvet, the grass covers the earth with a green quilt, and the rain of petals brought by the wind gently falls on my shoulders......" is still the song sung by Tongxinlu, but the voice is completely different, it is low and hoarse when it is Tongxinlu, but at this time it is high-pitched and full, masculine and magnetic. The starry sky disappeared and was replaced by white clouds and blue skies, the ground was covered with grass and wildflowers, and what I saw and heard on Tongxin Road resurfaced in front of me. Petals fall from the sky, scatter on your shoulders, and slowly disappear. The wild flowers under his feet grew wildly until they turned into a sea of flowers.

At the end of the song, Li Xiang also understood why this store was called "Phantom Song". The illusion vanished, and the room returned to its original state.

"Ninth brother, do you want to have a song too?" Yang Mingtai sent out an invitation again.

"I can't sing. Li Xiang was a little sorry.

"You just have to think about it, and it will put out the song in your sea of consciousness. "It's that antenna-like device.

"Big brother, can't this thing be changed?" Li Xiang resisted becoming a "Teletubbies" in a suit.

Yang Mingtai said indifferently: "Just change it as you like." ”

Li Xiang thickened the shaft, changed the color to gold, and the antenna became a gold microphone, and he tried to shrink the gold microphone to a finger length.

"Think of a song with a strong sense of imagery. Yang Mingtai suggested.

Li Xiang didn't have many songs that he was familiar with, and the choice became very simple, and after a little thought, he let the pocket gold microphone close to his temple. "Blue sky, clear lake, ay...... Green grassland, this is my home, hey...... Galloping horses, white flocks of sheep...... "The air seemed to be infected by the low, hoarse but vigorous voice, and like the original author of the song, it trembled with milk, and there were ripples in the air. As a newcomer born in the 00s, Li Xiang chose this song a bit retro, but this is the most graphic ballad he can think of. On the edge of the clear and calm lake, the white clouds of sheep float across the blanket of grasslands, and a herd of horses gallops from a distance, and when they are near the tables and chairs, the horses leap and disappear above the heads of the people. It's just that when she sang "And that girl", the girl raised her head, but it was Mingshu in Mongolian costume.

When it was Mingshu's turn to sing, Li wanted to ask her to sing the song by the bamboo house in Chaohu Lake. Mingshu stood up and came to the center of the room, where she wanted to add herself to the illusion. A woman in a long-sleeved palace dress appeared in front of her, Mingshu stepped forward and became one with "her". "The slanting sun is lonely and the smoke dances, blowing a roll of remnant clouds, who combs the green silk. Lonely just to get together, annoyed hair, wrinkled the heart. Plant a hut full of old books, the books are yellow, no one reads, the lights and candles burn out of the sorrow...... "The night swallows up the colorful sky, the dim candlelight through the wooden window, painting a dark silhouette for the wooden house, next to the wooden house is the dancing palace costume. In the wooden house, by the dim light, a woman opened the scroll, only glanced at it a few times, then sighed leisurely and closed the scroll in her hand. For some reason, Li Xiang suddenly thought that maybe it was a few years or maybe a few decades later, and his chest began to clog.

When Mingshu returned to her seat, she saw the tears on Li Xiang's face, "Ninth brother, why are you crying again?"

Li Xiang was taken aback, hurriedly wiped his face with his hand, and said with a forced smile: "How can there be? Sister sang so well, a little moved." ”
