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...
The girl must have been laying bricks here not long ago, and this red and white wall was built by her. Probably during the process of laying bricks, she was attacked by a "fashion cutter".
Then, she fell into a "slumber" state and collapsed the unsolidified brick wall.
The bricks fell, burying her underneath, and even smashed her bloody...
Of course, the real situation may be slightly different, but it shouldn't be too big.
Seeing the tragic situation of the girl, Angel finally understood why the designated information was so "rushed" this time and was only given a thirty-minute time limit.
This time limit does not mean that the girl can complete the "Fashion Tailor" challenge within thirty minutes, but that after thirty minutes, according to the tragic situation at the scene, the girl is probably gone, and there is no point in Angel rushing over.
.
Based on the current level of bleeding, it might even take less than thirty minutes for her to run out of breath.
Angel originally just surveyed the information location in advance, but he didn't expect the information to be so miserable this time.
Seeing the ground slowly turning bright red, Angel thought for a while and decided to help.
He was afraid that the girl wouldn't be able to hold on to him.
And Angel's way of helping is also very simple, that is...calling someone.
The girl was building a wall at the door, but there was actually someone inside the door, but it was a drunken middle-aged man, and because he was drunk and fell into a coma, he did not hear the movement outside.
However, judging from the trembling of his eyelids, he should be waking up soon.
This also made Angel feel a little relieved. If a person is deeply drunk and falls asleep, just sending a sound will not wake him up.
After calling for about ten seconds, the middle-aged man woke up in a daze. However, he was obviously unconscious and kept shouting "Erica" and "I'm thirsty, give me some water"...
After shouting several times in succession, but no one answered, he stood up unsteadily.
While complaining, "That damn girl probably went to the tailor shop to work as a free coolie again", she walked towards the door where the kettle was placed.
"The door is not even closed." The middle-aged man complained even more, complaining even more frequently.
From his complaints, we can know that Erica may be his daughter. He is not very satisfied with his daughter because she actually went to work as an apprentice in a tailor shop in the alley. The most important thing is... she helps
There is no charge for cutting and sewing, it is pure free labor.
This made him very unhappy and he kept complaining.
However, Angel could tell that apart from complaining that his daughter did not listen to the advice and went to work as a free coolie, he had no other grievances.
His relationship with his daughter shouldn't be tit-for-tat.
Soon, the middle-aged man came to the door, poured water and looked out the door.
Then...the water glass fell.
The middle-aged man saw the pile of bricks outside and the blood stains underneath.
With a panicked look on his face, he came to the bricks while calling "Erica"'s name...
After seeing him starting to rescue Erica, Angel finally withdrew his gaze.
About three minutes later, Angel got off the train.
Angel got on the bus in the West 15th District, and now he is back in the West 15th District.
Compared with before, there were obviously a lot more people here, obviously attracted by the previous sky projection.
A few minutes later, Angel passed through the nearby underground waterway and entered the underground neighborhood.
As before, after entering the sewer, there was also a guide set up by the homeless house here; but this time, Angel did not hire anyone, but walked along the sewer ditch and headed straight towards the Fourteenth Town...
Five minutes later, Angel arrived at the gate of Town 14.
At the same time, the designated information in the text column changed.
Originally, the information on fashion tailors had a time limit: after thirty minutes, this information would disappear.
But at this time, this limited time has disappeared.
This means that Erica is out of danger.
However, Angel looked at it from a God's perspective and found that Erica's father, who had just sobered up, did not know that Erica was out of danger. After stopping Erica's bleeding, he saw that Erica had no signs of waking up.
He hurried out the door, as if he wanted to find a doctor.
As soon as he came out of the dark alley, he met a doctor wearing a white coat and a mask passing by.
His eyes lit up and he stopped the other party directly.
He bowed and begged again, hoping that the doctor would help.
After hesitating for a moment, the doctor finally agreed to follow him into the dark alley...
"Doctor, I don't know what to call you? Are you the doctor at Beverly Care Center?" After the middle-aged man led the doctor into the alley, he vaguely felt that it was too coincidental, and... there are only two clinics in the 15th Town.
He has seen several doctors.
It seems that there is no doctor of this stature.
Is he really a doctor?
He felt something bad in his heart, but at this time he was already riding a tiger, so he hesitated and asked the doubts in his heart in a tactful tone.
"You can call me Pat." The doctor paused: "I'm from Lenz Clinic."
"Lenz Clinic?" The middle-aged man paused and seemed to think of something: "I seem to have heard of it, this is..."
"The clinic in the eighth town." The doctor said softly.
"Oh, yes, it's the Eighth Town!" When the middle-aged man heard that the other party came from a clinic in another town, his doubts gradually disappeared.
"Then why are you here..."
"Visiting relatives."
When the middle-aged man saw the other person frowning, he realized that he seemed to have talked a little too much, so he quickly shut up... Thinking about it carefully, it was right. He had nothing, and the other party couldn't possibly want anything.
Therefore, he was still too cautious.
Seeing that the middle-aged man stopped asking questions, the doctor also stopped saying anything.
There is no doubt that this "Doctor Pat" is Angel.
The black alley is not far from the town gate. When Angel walked over, he happened to see the other party coming out of the alley. So, he directly changed his appearance and followed the other party into the dark alley naturally...
