Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 379 Nolan Street
Although Nolan Street is not far from Xixi Keke Street, Lin Yilin does not plan to go there.

This matter has nothing to do with her. Anyway, the authorities have their eyes on the other party, so it's only a matter of time before they catch them. She has already accomplished a great feat by disrupting the other party's plans in Xixi Keke to some extent.

Her interest in learning about the topic stemmed more from her own curiosity.

Getting there wasn't too difficult. Within a month of the disaster, the transportation networks of Nolan Street and Xixi Keke Street were reconnected, and some railways and highways were repaired. The two large gray neighborhoods, which were not particularly severely affected by the disaster and were well-developed, supported each other and contributed a lot to each other's post-disaster reconstruction.

Regarding the pursuit of Haven, Xixi Keke will likely send a representative team, but since it's someone else's territory, the subsequent handling will depend on the situation on Nolan Street.

Lin Yilin didn't think there would be any trouble. Although there were factions within the Bureau, especially the Jiangwen Street Bureau before the earthquake, which was the birthplace of the Bureau model, was a huge place with a huge evil influence, and could be described as a mess.

As for now, there is a possibility of reintegration.

The Nolan Street and Xixi Keke Street have a friendly relationship and are largely on the same side in decision-making, as can be seen from the influence of the Hong family.

The Hong Yijia family's ancestral home is in Jiyun District, next to Xixi Keke, but they made their fortune and established themselves in Nolan Street, where their actual influence is strongest.

There's an inexplicable feeling that things have been treated fairly.

So Lin Yilin said she wouldn't go, but Zheng went instead.

However, he only said that he would keep an eye on it, since he was a member of the monastery band who was often missing, and he still had to participate in this performance.

……

Next to Nolan Street, adjacent to the gray blocks, lies a white urban area called "Saintwood Town".

Although it is called a town, it is actually very prosperous inside, and its proximity to the gray neighborhood does not prevent it from becoming a place that many people yearn for.

It is also known as the "City of Dreams" or the "Land of Dreams".

Simply because it has the most developed entertainment industry in the entire metropolitan area.

Movies, pop music, animation, comics... many well-known companies and manufacturers gather here, countless legendary figures in the industry have emerged from here, and there are even exaggerated rumors that this is a place blessed by inspiration that can be surpassed.

For example, the headquarters of Kuku Comics, the company behind the animated character "Mr. Blachio" that Jiang Si really likes, is also located here.

Of course, in reality, not many truly extraordinary individuals have ever emerged from here.

Not to mention that many of the super-inspired individuals are very good at hiding their abilities, making them impossible for outsiders to easily identify, even if you include a bunch of uncertain "super-inspired individuals" in Saint Wood Town, their data in the entire capital city is not particularly outstanding.

However, this impression has already taken root in people's hearts without them realizing it. In any case, the intentional or unintentional publicity behind it has perfectly achieved the desired effect.

In order to become famous, to make a name for themselves, and to accomplish great things, countless people flock to the "holy land" every year, regardless of whether it's a white city or a gray neighborhood, hoping to make something of themselves.

At the intersection of Saint Wood Town and Nolan Street, there is a landmark building, shaped like a tall gray human figure made of a mille-feuille, with the word "Saint Wood Town" diagonally running through the chest of the figure.

It felt as if this person had been pierced through the chest by the "sacred tree" of Sacred Tree Town.

"Why is this thing called a must-see spot on Nolan Street?" At this moment, in front of the statue, several people dressed as ordinary tourists stood together, and the one who spoke was a blonde, blue-eyed woman.

They are the members of the now-famous monastery band, young people who actually come from some sordid and dark monastery.

“I find it really interesting, with a kind of abstract artistic feel. The layered cake might be using a humorous and harmonious form to represent multiple worlds, and the portrait didn’t use conservative white or rebellious black, but instead chose gray, which is quite controversial but accounts for a large proportion in Dadu. The person who designed this portrait, put aside everything else, his ambition and expectations are undoubtedly admirable.” Gao Song suddenly spoke, and his words sounded like a reading comprehension exercise.

“Uh…” Mora was indeed startled. “It’s rare for you to say so much.” Gao Song shrugged: “It’s worth me saying so much.” Then he fell silent again.

Tao Zhi, who was just taking pictures, nodded after hearing Gao Song's words: "Although I don't understand it very well, I can't help but feel moved when I see something this big. And this is the boundary between gray and white. It was affected by the earthquake quite a bit, but it was not damaged at all. It is really a spiritual symbol, as if it stood firm by fate."

"I'm not interested in purely man-made things." Mora was still disappointed, and it was clear that she was genuinely uninterested.

"Want to take a picture together?" Doris asked from the side. As the weather turned colder, Doris, though not particularly concerned about the temperature, didn't hesitate to change her outfits according to the seasons—or rather, to the rhythm of most people. Today, she wore a black short-sleeved sweater under a large gray straight-cut coat, and a gray and black plaid A-line long skirt that covered her long, slender legs, revealing only a glimpse of fair skin below her calves. She wore a pair of Dr. Martens boots.

"I want."

Mora agreed without hesitation, saying that although she wasn't interested in the architecture or scenery, she was very interested in taking a photo with Doris.

Seeing this, Tao Zhi set up the camera and tripod. Ever since the start of the tour, he had managed to get this set of professional-looking photography equipment and had been carrying it with him all the time.

Although the initial level was simply appalling, it improved significantly later and finally became acceptable.

At least now Mora is willing to let him help take photos.

He is passionate about this, which means he has unlocked another small hobby.

The four of them stood together. Doris wore a serene smile, Mora smiled brightly and adorably, Tao Zhi was a little reserved, and Gao Song seemed to still be reminiscing about his rabbit with a blank expression.

This photo was taken in front of the landmark in Shengmu Town.

Tao Zhi went to the camera to check the results, and his expression changed.

"What's wrong?" Gao Song asked, leaning closer.

"What the hell."

The photo, which should have been a group photo of four people, shows a fifth person in one of several photos!
Tao Zhi stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

But after glancing at him, Gao Song said directly to Doris, "Doris, Mr. Music is here, go find him!"

After shouting, she turned to Tao Zhi and said, "Didn't Doris describe what that person looked like to us? What's all the fuss about?"

"Describing it doesn't diminish the eerie and terrifying feeling of someone suddenly appearing in a photo!" Tao Zhi argued.

"You've been surfing the internet a lot lately," Gao Song simply commented.

"Ahem, after all, there's not much to do when you're out and about."

On the other side, after hearing Gao Song's shout, Doris immediately turned around and saw Zheng Fan looking at the landmark of Saint Wood Town as if nothing had happened.

A giant little grey man and a strange man dressed in black create a unique and evocative composition under the pale sunlight on a not-so-sunny, cloudy day.

At least that's how it is for Doris.

I feel inspiration flowing through my mind.
