After their secret observation, they found that people in the modern city did not dress in a particularly uniform style.
One second, a man in a cloak with a classic mysterious style walked by, and the next second, a cybernetic man with a mechanical dog appeared. Even when they were secretly observing their surroundings in the alley, there was a man dressed in wasteland style walking past them. go through.
And this wasteland-style man didn't even look at them from the beginning to the end.
This also shows that their clothing does not appear to be out of place.
This is definitely a good thing, but then again...
"Where did the man you saw just now come from?" Star Bug asked doubtfully.
They had chosen this alleyway to observe the people outside because it was very remote and there were no human traces; but the wasteland-style man just now emerged from nowhere and suddenly passed by them.
Gleipnir shook his head, she didn't see it either.
But she probably guessed where he came from... Gleipnir walked about ten steps toward the deep alley behind him, and saw an obviously shaking manhole cover.
After signaling Starworm to open the manhole cover, they saw a deep sewer.
However, this sewer obviously has signs of climbing, and the smell in the air is not the smell that a sewer should have, but instead has a strong smell of machine oil.
This is consistent with the smell of the wasteland-style man from before.
"It seems that the man climbed up from here."
Star Bug touched his chin and asked with curiosity in his tone: "Is there a road down here?"
Gleipnir glanced at him: "Who knows. Maybe there are not only roads, but also people living there."
"However, whether there is a road or not, it has nothing to do with us for the time being."
"There is still one and a half hours left. Our current task is to find the target company, not to explore this sewer."
Although Starworm really wanted to explore the sewers, he also knew his priorities.
But he also has a worry in his mind: What if Prada Media Company is not on the surface, but underground?
In this regard, Gleipnir just said lightly: "If it is really underground, then it will be too late to turn around by then. However, according to my inference, there is a high probability that it is not underground."
"Have you made any inferences?" Starworm looked at him in surprise.
Gleipnir: "It's not an inference, it's just a simple inference."
"Generally, the crystal medium of Fairyland indicates the core of Fairyland."
For example, the crystal medium of Uriel's copy is a shabby attic, and this shabby attic represents Uriel's residence.
In the same way, the crystal medium of this copy is a slightly old building, so this building is most likely Prada Media Company.
"As for the building, the chance of it being underground is obviously not very high."
While explaining, Gleipnir and Starworm walked out of the alleyway.
Sure enough, although their clothes were a bit strange, they didn't attract anyone's attention after they left the alley and entered the crowd.
Even though Star Bug had a brick mask on his face, no one looked at him twice.
At most, you can hear some whispers in the wind: "Wearing a mask of ruins style, but wearing a uniform of ascetic style. This person's fashion sense is simply... tsk tsk."
Starworm also heard it, but he didn't react.
Because what these people said is also true.
However, his uniform is not an ascetic style, but a real conductor uniform...
On the way to the target building, they saw many strange scenes. Neon, machinery, projections... this was really a literal "steel forest".
But the strangest thing is not these dead buildings, but the people coming and going.
The people they observed in the alleyway were already wearing very strange styles, but when walking on the street, the clothes they saw were even more exaggerated.
For example, Starworm saw a huge and lifelike dog before.
He really thought it was a dog.
As a result, the "dog" took off his hood next to a fountain, washed his face with the fountain water, put on his hood again, and transformed into a dog.
This startled the starworms.
It's not like he has never seen someone wearing a doll costume, but the "dog" just now really didn't look like a doll costume at all, it was completely a real dog enlarged to the same scale.
Looking at the people around him with no expressions of surprise at all, Starworm suddenly said: "It seems that if we release the black tiger, maybe it won't arouse people's suspicion?"
Gleipnir also saw the "dog", and her eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.
think.
After a moment, she whispered: "I don't know if releasing the black tiger will arouse suspicion, but once the black tiger starts running, it will definitely attract people's attention."
They didn't let the black tiger out for a "walk"; they wanted to take them to Prada Media Company.
Even if the shape of the black tiger doesn't attract anyone's attention, it will be different when the black tiger carries them and runs.
Starworm sighed: "That's right."
Gleipnir: "The black tiger is our trump card. If Prada Media Company is too far away and we have no other way to get there, then we must summon the black tiger regardless of whether it will cause a commotion."
"But the premise of all this is to first confirm the location of Prada Media Company."
The moment he finished speaking, Gleipnir and Starworm looked at the building not far away that was glowing with purple-red lights.
On the twentieth floor of the building, on the suspended track, there are neatly arranged lights extending into the depths of the night...
Then, maybe there is a map of the city.
…
There is an introduction sign on the downstairs side of the building.
The name of this building is Vivian Thirteen.
"Vive" is the name of the developer, and "South Thirteen" seems to refer to a regional coordinate.
Viv South Building 13, the first six floors are shops, the sixth to eighteenth floors are residential areas, the nineteenth to twenty-first floors are integrated, which is the train platform, and the residential areas continue to be above the twenty-second floor
.
After entering the building, they discovered that the so-called first six floors were the shopping area, but in fact they only looked like there was a sixth floor from the outside.
From the outside of the building, the interior of the sixth floor is hollowed out. If we insist on speaking, it is actually only two floors.
As for why it was emptying out?
Because as soon as they entered the door, they saw a shining stage three or four meters high.
The decorations behind the stage are all crystal pillars rising into the sky. These crystal pillars alone are more than fifteen meters tall. It is absolutely impossible to arrange such a large stage decoration without hollowing out the interior.
As for this stage...
There seems to be a fashion show going on?
Tall and perfect models, wearing different styles of fashions, show off their proud figures on the stage.
Gleipnir and Starworm stopped for less than a minute under the stage and saw a variety of clothes with strong styles.
Moreover, after a short observation, they found that the fashion in the modern city did not seem to stick to the "season."
For example, in just one minute, they gathered different outfits from "spring, summer, autumn and winter" on the stage.
And, this is not limited to the stage.
The models on the stage can be said to have to wear styles from different seasons in order to work; but the onlookers actually mix and match styles from different seasons.
For example, not far from them, there was a lady wearing mink fur and snow country style.
As for why she can wear such thick clothes in a shopping mall where the indoor temperature is not low, it is because...she is accompanied by a mechanical snow fox that exudes an icy aura.
This snow fox created an obvious low-temperature field around the lady, which allowed her to wear mink without looking too hot.
Similarly, if the models on the stage appear in obvious "summer clothes", there will definitely be fireballs floating around them that can create a heated scene.
Is this probably the trend in modern cities?
In order to pursue the trend, they even use external forces to change the temperature field around themselves.
Back to topic.
Gleipnir and Starworm looked under the stage for a while and discovered a very strange place. Such a grand stage, with tall and perfect models, and clothes with strong personal style, but not many people were watching.
There were only five or six people around, looking at the stage.
There was a crazy man near them, who kept muttering: "Why haven't you come yet? Why, why?"
When he kept asking "why", the people around him saw this and moved away one after another.
Soon, the few people left around him were scared away by him. Finally, he locked on the star bug and stepped forward quickly, as if he wanted to catch the star bug.
But before he could touch the starworm, a strong force came from behind the starworm and dragged him aside.
Star Bug looked back and found that the person pulling him was actually the man dressed in wasteland style who came out of the sewer before.
The wasteland-style man glanced at Starworm and Gleipnir, and said coldly: "You two had better not be touched by him, his mental state is unstable."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crazy man walked towards them again.
The wasteland-style man immediately said: "Hurry up
leave."
A minute later, they had arrived at the railing on the second floor of the commercial building. Through the railing, they could see that there was no one around the madman below.
He was the only one left, looking at the stage in despair and continuing to shout "why".
Starworm: "He...what's going on?"
Starworm silently looked at the wasteland-style man.
The wasteland-style man was about to leave after leading them away from the stage. Now that he saw Starworm looking at him, he stopped and said, "You don't know him?"
Starworm and Gleipnir remained silent.
The wasteland-style man sighed softly: "It seems that the underground neighborhood you are in is very remote."
Underground neighborhood? Starworm was stunned. Could he have misunderstood something?
Is it because he wears a brick mask that he is defined as a wasteland style, coming from an underground neighborhood like him?
Starworm did not say anything, but the Wasteland Wind man continued: "That man is Wodens, who calls himself 'Strong Wind', a strong style of Strong Wind."
"He is very famous in the South Thirteenth District, and the clothes he designs are very popular."
"The models on the stage below are wearing clothes designed by him."
In other words, this fashion show is Watkins' personal show.
"As for why Watkins is going crazy now, it's because he is about to participate in the promotion of the modern fashion show."
He did not explain what a "modern fashion show" was, but he obviously acquiesced that it was a carnival known to all.
"Wodens' opponent is a designer with an equally strong style. Moreover, the other party's style is more popular than Watkins, and Watkins knows very well that he may not be able to defeat them."
"So, he came here and held a strong wind stage just to attract something and defeat his opponent."
At this point, Gleipnir suddenly said: "You mean, attracting fashion monsters?"
The reason why Gleipnir said this was because one-third of the "obsolete spirits" in her hands were attracted by the black tiger's fur.
Therefore, when the other party said "attracting something", she immediately thought of the fashion monster.
The wasteland-style man looked at Gleipnir in surprise: "Do you know about fashion monsters? It seems that you are also a fashion magician?"
Gleipnir said nothing and gently summoned the "Fashion Magic Book".
Seeing this, Starworm also took out his magic book.
The moment he saw the two "Fashion Magic Books", the wasteland-style man showed a hint of surprise: "It's really rare. People in underground neighborhoods rarely become fashion magicians. I didn't expect that today I met two at once. "
After speaking, the wasteland-style man also summoned the "Fashion Magic Book", proving that he is also a fashion magician.
"Since everyone is a fashion magician, I'll tell you the truth."
“Waltons hopes to attract ‘style devourers’ by holding a strong wind stage. He hopes that the ability of ‘style devourers’ will make his opponents lose their own style.”
"Obviously he failed now."
"However, you are right when you think about it. Style devourers will only appear around people who have a strong personal style of dressing."
"And Watham's design... although it has its own style, there are still many schools of thought."
In other words, Watkins' personal style is not pure, which makes it difficult to attract style devourers.
After listening to the wasteland-style man's story, Gleipnir finally determined that the fashion monster did not appear out of thin air, but was attracted to it.
Therefore, if she wants to find more "outdated spirits" and unlock the puzzle of "outdated spirits" in the future, she must rely on some fashion styles to attract them.
I don’t know if the black tiger’s fur can attract the next obsolete spirit?
After the wasteland-style man finished speaking, he added solemnly: "As residents of the underground city, let me give you a piece of advice. We have no identity, so try not to come into contact with those who dress in extremely exaggerated ways, or those who are crazy."
"For example, Watkins below, although he lets models wear his own designs to attract 'style devourers', he never dares to let those models get even a little damaged, because the models have urban status. Once they are damaged, he will will be held accountable.”
"As for us, because we have no identity, once Wodans comes into contact with us and discovers that we are from the underground neighborhood, he will probably dress us up to death, just to attract the attention of the fashion monster."
"Even if we die, we will not be held accountable by the security team. You must remember this."
After finishing speaking, the wasteland-style man waved his hands to them: "I still have things to go first...and don't forget my advice."
