Chapter 3729 Dark alley
Originally, Rayleigh was planning to personally lead the way and send Angel out; because there were side roads everywhere inside Tomb Street, it was easy for people who had not been here before to get lost.
But Angel waved his hand and used illusion to simulate a cross-sectional map of Tomb Street.
It's still holographic.
Even Rayleigh didn't know about many of these forks. For example, Rayleigh had never heard of the roads leading from the Tomb Street underground to the surface.
Therefore, Rayleigh stopped talking and watched Angel leave with Com silently.
After Angel left, the nightmare energy lingering in Rayleigh's mind slowly dissipated, and the memory of the prologue was also blocked with the disappearance of the nightmare energy.
Comb's memory was not blocked, because the nightmare energy in him had not dissipated.
Instead, it condensed into a special mark - a lion's heart covered in thorns.
This mark is engraved on the back of Comb's hand.
Although Comb didn't know what the pattern on this mark represented, he knew through the feedback from the nightmare information that this mark was a "contact mark".
On the other side, Angel had already disappeared, walking up the path of Tomb Street.
The mark he left for Comb was indeed used for "contact".
Angel can contact Com anytime and anywhere.
The reason why this mark was left is naturally because Comb has the "lucky king's posture".
This Wonderland dungeon has many places where you need to draw cards and open blind boxes. Angel doesn't really believe in his luck. The existence of Com can be called an enhanced version of the living body transfer ritual.
Therefore, he left a mark so that when he needed to open the blind box, he could contact Com to borrow the shipment.
certainly……
It’s hard for Angel to say whether he will need to use Com in the future.
…
The reason why Tomb Street can lead directly to the surface is naturally because... this place used to be a large tomb.
Since it is a tomb, there is naturally a way to the outside world.
However, most of these tomb passages are controlled by wandering houses, and there are even special security personnel guarding the entrances to prevent underground residents from intruding.
Angel did not intend to meet these security personnel, so he remained hidden throughout the process.
Going all the way up, we soon arrived at the entrance to the tomb passage.
Once here, it is no longer controlled by the Wandering House, but by the Fashion Guild.
In the hall near the entrance to the tomb, Angel even saw security guards and patrolling mechanical dogs.
They were communicating with the security personnel of the homeless house not far away. They could obviously see each other, but they pretended not to see each other. They each stayed on one side.
It can also be seen from this that there is a certain tacit understanding between the Fashion Guild and the Wandering House.
This reminded Angel of Bonnet's previous words.
Bonnet speculates that the "King of Darkness" behind the Wandering House is actually from the sun, and may even be the group of people sitting on the highest throne.
Bonnet's guess was almost obvious.
In her opinion, the Dark King is most likely the top executive of the Fashion Guild!
Looking at the harmonious situation in front of him between the Sheriff of the Fashion Guild and the people of the Wandering House, Angel really felt that maybe Bonnet's guess... was not wrong?
However, these had nothing to do with Angel for the time being, so he just went through them in his mind and put them away.
Bypassing the mechanical patrol dog wandering nearby, Angel returned to the surface easily without attracting anyone's attention.
After returning to the surface, Angel discovered that in terms of brightness, the underground neighborhoods might actually be brighter.
And the surface of the earth... is relatively dim because of the thick clouds of pollution overhead.
Moreover, Angel felt the air on the surface and smelled a faint sour smell.
At this moment, clouds surged in the sky.
A light drizzle fell.
It was obviously not raining heavily, but the residents of the surrounding streets all ran indoors to hide from the rain... Only the mechanical soldiers and Angel remained in the open space.
Angel didn't understand it at first, but when the raindrops fell on him and made a dark stain, he understood.
This rain... is not clean.
Although it has not reached the level of "acid rain", it can also be called dirty rain.
No wonder, no one wants to get wet in the rain.
"The pollution in the modern city..." is more serious than he imagined.
Angel sighed, opened the barrier, and then raised his head to look at the stacks of high-rise buildings in the distance. Even in the dark dusk rain, the neon lights and shadows on the outside of the high-rise buildings did not dissipate, even in mid-air
The projected image on the outer shell of the city-changing train is still flashing with bright colors, even brighter than when it is not raining.
The thick rain clouds are always reflected in the light pollution projected from the neon lights.
Looking at this scene that is both futuristic and punk, ecological and extremely fragile.
Angel inexplicably thought of the Yirong Kingdom on the Fan Continent.
Yi Rongguo is famous for its Sky Mechanical City, with trains running all over the continent. Those ambitious capitalists even want to build a steam railway into the Devil's Sea.
There is no doubt that steam machinery has brought convenience, but at the same time it has also cast a layer of haze on the sky of Fan Continent.
It is not so serious in other places, but the air in Yirongguo is already filled with large particles of pollution.
How similar to the modern city.
"Maybe this is the period of pain caused by progress." Angel shook his head and walked towards the nearby high-rise platform.
Taking the shuttle train around the city again, Angel was already very proficient.
I successfully found a seat by the window in the car. While looking at the neon city shrouded in the drizzle of rain, I entered a God's perspective and looked in the direction of Town 14.
Under the leadership of the homeless houses, the underground neighborhoods are gradually integrating with the surface and becoming more and more standardized.
This also brought some convenience to Angel.
For example, Angel can easily find the location of the "Black Pipe Alley" through street signs and door signs.
Black Pipe Dark Alley, as you can tell from the name, is a "dark" alley hidden between buildings.
There is almost no light in this alley, and the tall residential buildings on both sides also block the mechanical light source overhead.
Therefore, this dark alley is very dark.
In such a dark narrow alley, few people would come in. Therefore, Angel quickly locked onto the "location" in the designated information.
The information in the intelligence is actually not straightforward: "In the dark alley of the black tube, under a red and white grid, bright red blood is gurgling out."
At first glance, it may seem a bit obscure, and I don’t understand what this sentence has to do with “fashion tailors”.
But if you look at the situation in the dark alley, Angel immediately understood.
Deep in the dark alley, a red and white dark grid wall appeared.
Yes, the style of the wall is red and white with dark grids. From the empty soft cement in the gaps, it can be seen that this wall has just been repaired not long ago and is still moist.
This red and white dark grid wall extends to the deepest part of the dark alley.
At the end of the dark alley, in front of a small glowing door, is the end of the red and white dark grid wall.
But something might have happened to the end of the wall, and the wall collapsed. A large number of red and white bricks fell down, forming a small hill on the ground.
Underneath the pile of bricks, bright red blood was gurgling out.
There is no doubt that the place where the blood was shed was the location designated by the intelligence.
Zooming in, Angel finally saw clearly what was happening under the bricks...
A girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old was pressed under the bricks, and her forehead was obviously bleeding from the bricks. Blood continued to flow from the wound.
Next to her was a bucket of wet cement.
Seeing this, Angel could almost imagine the previous scene...
To be continued...
