1.7 Memory of the Shattered World
"Then who are we?" the male player asked.
"Perhaps not only us, but also the players are the 'memory' of the broken world. They are used by the guardians to reshape the world and fight against destruction." Wu Chen's personal experience not long ago made Wu Chen realize something.
"Since he is the guardian of the world, he should be omnipotent. Why does he need to use our memory, his own memory?" The male player was puzzled.
"Perhaps, like us, it was erased." Bailiyan mentioned a possibility.
"Maybe." Wu Chen sighed.
"That bridge in front..." The female player couldn't hide her excitement.
"Leading to the Land of Salvation, the Broken City." Wu Chen has confirmed it is correct.
"What are you waiting for?" Bailiyan was in a good mood.
The four of them were back on the road.
Pay one coin at the toll station and cross the bridge smoothly.
As expected. There is also a toll station behind the bridge. One coin is required for entry and exit. The toll station integrates many functions such as a service area and an observation deck. In the center is a skyscraper as tall as the clouds, reaching into the sky - "Broken Brotherhood (
Department of Science Fiction) Entry-Exit Center".
A brotherhood building. Players entering and exiting the Broken City must register here.
After all, it is dedicated to the science fiction department. Smart office, convenient and fast. There is no one in the lobby on the first floor.
As soon as Wu Chen stood firm in front of the terminal, the human-computer interaction interface was quietly activated: "Stuck."
Needless to say, campus card and ID card.
Successfully read and confirm the information. The smart terminal immediately released: "VIP identity confirmation, access permit."
On the campus card spit out by the terminal, Wu Chen's exclusive mark - "Skeleton Grip" - also known as "Bone Picker's Crest" and "High-dimensional Hand" appeared.
As expected by Wu Chen. Just like the red phone booth keychain that can enlarge itself and cast asylum coins, the campus card in Wu Chen's hand is also one of the creations of the asylum. After all, it is the "Purple Gold Salvation" carefully selected by Lord Ling for Wu Chen.
"Gift package". Campus card, 2b pencil, and keychain are all extraordinary things.
Bailiyan and the player couple also successfully passed the level.
Retrieve their respective vehicles, four people and three cars, and line up to enter the level. When passing through the skyscraper, you can clearly feel the fluctuations of the protective shield. Perhaps, in addition to allowing players to clear the level, the skyscraper is also the protective barrier of the Broken City. It can, to a certain extent,
It might be possible to resist the erosion of annihilation.
"Wow -" Just as he could see things, he heard Bailiyan, the car in front of him, exclaim.
As far as the eye can see, all kinds of skyscrapers are scattered and densely packed. From the outside to the inside, from low to high, they spiral upward and pierce the sky. They are gathered into a super metropolis.
The outline of the Broken City is like a large conch standing upright with its spire pointing to the sky.
In the building complex surrounding the sea snail, you can clearly see four densely arranged and spiraling upward "spiral building belts", also known as the "spiral zone". The reason why the distinction is so obvious is because the architectural styles in the spiral belt are completely different.
If you identify it carefully, you will find that it is the landmark building zone of four series: fantasy, fantasy, magic, and science fiction.
The floating islands and mirages in the fantasy world; the steam towers and Gothic mansions in the fantasy world; the obsidian castle and the Elf World Tree in the fantasy world; the skyscrapers and anti-gravity space in the science fiction world... Four series of buildings, intertwined in spirals, spiraling upward
, converging into the tip of the city that reaches straight into the sky. There are also airships, spaceships, flying swords, flying cars, flying horses, flying carpets... all kinds of aircraft are dizzying, passing through it.
This is what the players in Broken City call legendary: "Four Series Spiral".
The four spiral belts perfectly illustrate the collision and conflict of four civilizations. Fantasy, fantasy, magic, science fiction, the boundaries of the four major civilizations are not even distinguished by an entire street or a certain skyscraper. Even if they are the same building main body , the upper and lower floors, the left and right sides of the same floor, have completely different architectural styles.
What's more, Wu Chen actually discovered that there were adjacent men's and women's bathrooms on the same floor of a skyscraper. One side was steampunk, the other was cyberpunk. There were also ancient immortals and star civilizations, separated by a wall. They were clearly different from each other. , and opposites coexist. At first glance, there is an indescribable beauty of conflict.
"Raise files." Wu Chen hit the nail on the head. Could it be a broken city, player!
"Yes, that's it." Bailiyan also thought of it: "The four spirals are the circles of influence composed of players from the four series."
"It's also a plot line." Wu Chen added.
"That's right, using landmarks (buildings) as carriers and players together to form four main plot lines: fantasy, fantasy, magic, and science fiction." Bailiyan couldn't hide his excitement.
"There are far more players than the four series." The male player was puzzled: "Where are the remaining players?"
"It was probably annexed by the Four Series." Bailiyan replied.
"No wonder it's called the Broken City." Wu Chen thought more deeply: "The city is made up of fragments of various plot worlds."
"Fragments of the world." Bailiyan grasped the key point.
Wu Chen sighed; "I think I know where we are."
"Where?" the male player asked quickly.
"The backside of the starry sky in the shelter." Wu Chen thought for a moment and said, "It can be seen as the system's recycling bin."
The meaning of the system recycle bin is not difficult to understand. All files deleted by the computer system will be stored in the recycle bin first. Just click "Empty Recycle Bin" to clear the "junk documents" at once. Therefore, for the entire shelter In terms of the world, the Broken City is a gathering place of "garbage". It is also called a gathering place of "negative assets". Players are all transported here, waiting to be cleared or retrieved, their ultimate destiny. trial.
It is different from the garbage dump in the usual sense. This world abandoned by the architect and ready to be erased at any time also has a guardian who is unwilling to fail - a huge shadow in the void. Therefore, the architect keeps erasing, and the guardian continues Rebuild. Fight tenaciously and never give up. Wrestling with each other and remaining in a stalemate, players find a glimmer of hope.
As long as you work hard, regroup, and become strong enough to no longer be regarded as a bad "negative asset" of the shelter, you can turn around and return to the shelter.
As the architect of the sanctuary, the omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent "Lord Zero". To fight against it is like a mantis shaking a tree or a mantis using its arms as a chariot. The guardian of the world is a huge shadow in the void, and its power is constantly fading. It has even been "recorded" "Can't afford it", the original appearance of the world. The world must be reshaped with the help of the player's memory.
This is also the "law of symbiosis" between the plot world and the players.
Only by becoming the "memory" of the Broken City and being remembered by the huge shadow in the void can the player integrate into the spiral plot world in front of them and not be completely forgotten, let alone be frozen on the 404 roundabout highway.
In other words, every player who has completed the 404 Road of Destruction and broken the plot is a memory of the Broken City. When necessary, the memory can be read by the guardian and used to reshape the world.
This also means that every player who enters the Broken City must first do their best to not be forgotten by the world. They must always have proof of their existence.
How to prove that a person exists.
It finally makes a difference.
As a VIP player, there is no novice guide. Survival depends on your own exploration.
Fortunately, the players who successfully arrived in the Broken City are definitely not Wu Chen and others. For science fiction players, the "Free Port Zone" they first arrive after entering the country is the border land belonging to the Broken City. It is commonly known as the "Edge of the Rift".
The "fragmentation" of the plot here is extremely serious. Fragments from different plot worlds crush, collide, shatter, and are annihilated with each other, all the time, and they happen again. Success or failure occurs in an instant.
When he first arrived, the novelty was better than anything else. Only with time would Wu Chen realize what "fragments" are.
Roughly speaking, "fragments" refer to the broken plot world and the branch plots carried by the players. For the guardian of the broken city, the huge shadow behind the void, it is a "memory of existence".
Fortunately, Freeport belongs to the science fiction faction, and all creations, big and small, come from the science fiction world. There is no conflict or rejection with Wu Chen and others.
Free movement within the free port.
How to settle down is the most urgent task.
Compared with Bailiyan and others who were trying their best to collect all useful information through the in-vehicle smart terminal, Wu Chen's in-vehicle intelligence brain had already started: "Master, we have located the 1st floor of Building A, No. 9 Nathan Road.
3c,Mocha Café.”
"Where is this?" Wu Chen looked at the large central control screen.
Chapter completed!
