Chungang City, located in the north of the Motianchuan civilization, is a square city covering an area of thousands of miles. The whole city is divided into four city walls, east, west, north and south, and each city wall has three gates: one main and two secondary. It was built by the five-sided Sun Shu Chunhua of the humanistic ancestor Shu Yuchuan, and the current Shu Chunhua has been fused into thirteen sides.

According to the guidance of the guards, Shi Jian soon came to the household registration office at the main gate of the north city wall. Since it was already dusk, there weren't many people here.

It's a flat world, so there's no stars like the sun, and there's no day or night, it's pale red all day, which is the effect of the heat energy left behind by the Big Bang caused by a cosmic storm. However, due to the limitations of the flat world, almost all people or animals here rely on their brains to perceive everything, and their eyes rarely use them. Therefore, in Shi Jian's memory, the buildings are windowless, only a small door for women to walk on one side, and a gate for men to walk on the other.

But this is not the case with the house called the household registration office, where large windows are opened up and down, left and right, making the whole room pale red. This was also the first time Shi Jian walked into the room of the Motianchuan civilization.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" as soon as Shi Jian walked into the room, the staff inside greeted him very politely.

"Hello, Lord Deacon, the first time I came here, the uncle guarding the city asked me to come over and get some ID cards, and then let me enter the city. ”

"Ahh The staff member was afraid that Shi Jian would misunderstand that the guards were deliberately making things difficult, so he hurriedly explained: "This is to prevent speculation and maintain order here, so I have to do this." Our ancestor Li Tian stipulated: All cities above the county level must implement personnel control and be registered. ”

After listening to the explanation of the household registration staff, Shi Jian thought to himself: "If you make up a fake name yourself, I don't believe that you will still investigate?"

"My name is Zhijian, and I come from the 'Jian Village' of the Most Holy Civilization. ”

The staff member did not ask questions as Shi Jian thought, but asked, "Are you applying for a temporary ID card?"

Shi Jian had come to investigate the reason for the world's chief, so he wouldn't stay in one place for too long, so he said, "Let's make a temporary one first! I'll learn about the situation here first." ”

"Okay, I'll give you an introduction: our regulations for people with temporary identity cards. Hearing Shi Jian's decision, the staff began to introduce him to the matters that temporary status personnel need to pay attention to.

"First of all, the person who has a temporary ID card and says that he is not an official resident of my Motianchuan civilization. Therefore, the holder can only stay in the city where the temporary ID card was issued, and after leaving the place of issuance, it will become invalid immediately, and if you arrive here again, you will need to apply for a new temporary ID card. The cost and handling fee for each temporary ID card application is 10 Mo.

2. Holders of temporary status must stay overnight in the inn designated by the place of issuance, and violators will be punished in accordance with the public security regulations of the Motianchuan civilization.

3. Holders of temporary status. , you must go to bed according to the schedule of the place where it was issued. In addition to bedtime, the holder must report to the four household registration offices of the prefecture and city every two hours, and the violator will be punished by the public security regulations of the massage Tianchuan civilization.

Four ,......"

After listening to this staff member's introduction, Shi Jian's face turned green, and if he had applied for a temporary ID card, he would have tied himself to death under the second and third systems alone, and where would he have time to investigate something! Shi Jian had no choice but to inquire about the long-term ID card system again.

"The long-term ID card is a valid document for the residents of our Motianchuan civilization, which means that you are willing to become a legal resident of our Motianchuan civilization. However, in order to apply for a long-term ID card, you must sign a 100-year military service contract with our city and serve our city for 100 years. A hundred years later, you will become a free man of the Ferris River civilization. ”

Although Shi Jian didn't know what the contract meant, when he heard about his 100-year military service, he immediately understood that this so-called contract was actually what they called a 'deed of sale'.

"Isn't it just a hundred years! I have already been in the north, and I have wasted more than a hundred years in vain, as long as I can find the reason for the changes in the world, let alone a hundred years, what if it is a thousand years?" Thinking of this, Shi Jian gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Just give me a long-term one, isn't it just a hundred years, and it will be over in the blink of an eye." ”

While filling out his personal file for Shi Jian, the staff member said to him with a smile: "You feel quite aggrieved now, and when you rise to the fourth or fifth side, I'm afraid that even if we beat you, scold you, and drive you away, you won't leave!"

"You, what did you just say?" Shi Jian shouted loudly because the staff member's words were too shocking. Let him think that he had heard it wrong, and quickly asked to confirm it.

Although Shi Jian is only a three-sided, the magnetic field of more than 20,000 years is also very scary. Even if the magnetic field he unintentionally released was enough to suppress the staff member's face and break out in a cold sweat, the man trembled and said, "What did I say? I didn't say anything!"

At this time, Shi Jian realized that he was wrong, and quickly restrained his aura and said: "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I lost my temper just now! I want to confirm what you just said about being promoted to 'four sides' and 'five sides', what does it mean?"

"Didn't you hear that our Motianchuan civilization has the technology to improve the number of people around us, so we came here?" The staff who knew why the magnetic field suddenly erupted from 'Zhijian' secretly breathed a sigh of relief. And in my heart, I was thinking: The existence of these three sides, although they have the most levels, is more perverted than the other!"

So, I hurriedly handed him the long-term ID card. The people and animals here are different from the people and animals in the three-dimensional world, they have no hands and feet, but there are many tentacles on the outside of each side, and they use these ubiquitous tentacles for their usual communication and taking things. When not in use, these transparent tentacles are dipped to the edges, as if there is nothing.

With his ID card in hand, Shi Jian successfully passed through the main gate of the north city wall. By this time, it was already past dusk, and when it was time to rest, many of the shops on both sides of the street had been closed, and only a few of them were open for business.

The concept of early morning, dusk, and three-dimensional world in this world is different. They are pale red all day long, so their morning and dusk do not mean that the sky is about to dawn or that it is almost dark, but that they have just woken up and that it is time to go to bed.

The Selective Service Department, which belongs to the military department, is located in the square in the center of the city, and there are people on duty on a rotating basis throughout the day. According to the explanation of the staff of the household registration office, Shi Jian must first report to the Military Service Bureau. The Selective Service Department will arrange accommodation for him and assign him the next assignments.

Shi Jian sensed from a distance the three huge, lifelike statues of people in the square. Under the site of the statue in the middle, the Morse code is engraved with 'Civilization Ancestor Li Tian', the site of the statue on the left is engraved with 'Alphabet Ancestor Morse', and the right is 'Humanistic Ancestor Tree in Sichuan'.

(Morse, a statue that approximates the 'circle', Li Tian, a triangle that looks like a straight line, and a tree in the river is an equilateral triangle.) ）

"I'm grass! This is too domineering!" The three huge statues, seeing Shi Jian's passion, couldn't help but think: "I must also ask every city in Shi Jian's civilization territory to erect my statue in the center of the city square." Damn!

"Hey, isn't this Brother Shi Jian?" Just as Shi Jian was conjecturing about the future of Shi Jian's civilization, a familiar, not very loud voice interrupted his conjecture.

"How did you get here, and there are still people who know themselves?" Shi Jian, who was shocked, immediately released his perception at the voice: "It's a familiar feeling, but I don't know it!"

"It's me, Holy of Holy!" Sensing that Shi Jian didn't dare to admit himself, the man hurriedly whispered.

"I'll go, aren't you three-sided? Why are you becoming five-sided now?" Although Shi Jian could feel that this was the most holy from the breath of the magnetic field, the appearance was too different.

"Didn't I learn the techniques of the Ferris River civilization and have evolved?" After Shi Jian confirmed him, the Supreme Holy moved forward a little further and said quietly: "Brother Shi Jian, aren't you here for this?......

"Be careful!" Shi Jian hurriedly stopped him: "When I get here, will I not change my name?"

"Oh! I almost forgot about it, and I changed my last name. It is the surname of the 'Intu Civilization' in our territory, and I am now called 'Insan'. ”

The two thieves introduced themselves like thieves.

"By the way, before I came here, I didn't know that this Motianchuan civilization actually had the technology to improve the number of people around me. I'm here to find out why the world is getting longer!"

After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Shi Jian explained the purpose of his trip.

Shi Jian...... , No, Brother Zhijian is really the boss of our twelve civilizations, although I also know that my territory is constantly extending, but I don't have the consciousness to explore the cause of this unusual event, but I think about how to improve myself. Upon learning the purpose of Shi Jian's trip, the Most Holy revealed a face full of guilt.

"The rapid development of the world is definitely not right! I'm afraid that this will accelerate the arrival of the catastrophe!" Shi Jian said with endless emotion.

"Brother Tian, you have distributed the genes of fused essence and blood to everyone like this, these people are getting stronger day by day. Aren't you afraid that one day, when they become stronger, they don't want to be other people's puppets anymore, but want to find ways to get out of our control?"

The center of the Motianchuan civilization, after just fusing another drop of essence blood, Shu Yuchuan, who had left the customs, finally told Li Tian the question that had plagued him for a long time.

"Yu Chuan, do you remember my warning to you when you want to learn the method of fusion?"

Shu Yuchuan didn't understand, at this time Li Tian suddenly asked him what he was doing, but he still replied: "You say: We are taking 'food' from the mouth of heaven and earth, so heaven and earth will definitely punish us!"

"Do you think that in the face of more and more 'anti-heavens' in this heaven and earth, its backlash will be lighter? In such a vicious circle, do you think they will persist until the day when they have the ability to oppose us?"
