I will never give in to Miss Death

"Follow me, be careful."

Ouyang Xue walked in front, like an older sister: "Especially Nuo'er, you have short legs and small feet, don't fall."

"Varied……"

I subconsciously wanted to refute, and then suddenly realized...it seemed that she was right.

But why do people with short legs and small feet have to be warned? You are discriminating!

“Those people in the city really think long-term.”

As she walked down the stairs, Ouyang Xue said with emotion, "I originally thought this was just an ordinary project. I would come here to help them with it, set up the coffee shop, support a store manager, and then I could go back for a promotion or retire."

"I didn't expect that these people would not only build such a large coffee shop, but also plan the project for District 10. If I'm not mistaken, they have probably already buried the submarine cable there."

"I remember that the particle collider in the Artisan District was built five years ago. It was a money-losing machine, and many people criticized it at the time. Then the Artisan District became popular because of it. After 2020, various high-tech products came out one after another. I almost suspected that there were even more unspeakable secrets in the whole project..."

Yin Xiamo and I looked at each other and asked, "Is this something we can discuss?"

Ouyang Xue did not comment: "There are currently no surveillance cameras or recorders in this basement. You can say whatever you want."

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

Elodie yawned. "Although the particle collider is a big spender, from a long-term perspective... well, I don't understand what that thing is for, but maybe it's just that our Kamihama City is more avant-garde and wants to keep up with the world's cutting-edge physics?"

"probably."

As she was talking, Ouyang Xue had already reached the bottom of the stairs. She shone her cell phone at the simple door lock hole in front of her and found the keyhole.

"Is there any trap here?"

Philo at the back worriedly asked, "What if a steamroller suddenly appeared from the front, or a bunch of arrows appeared overhead, or the road beneath your feet suddenly disappeared?"

Ouyang Xue turned around and said as she twisted the key: "Do you really think this is a different world?"

Then, with a "click" sound, the front door opened -

A very wide space.

There are many small rooms on both sides of the space, like a bar, but the specifications and layout are a bit like an Internet cafe.

Moreover, the space here is much larger than that of an Internet cafe, and there are no computer desks or computers.

You can vaguely see some small bottles that look like spray paint on the ground.

Some of the small bottles seemed to be "leaking liquid", with a yellow spot here and a red spot there, and it looked like someone had drawn something on the floor.

Although my eyesight is very good, in this place with almost no light, I can only look inside the door along the light of Ouyang Xue's mobile phone and observe this empty basement.

"Wait a minute, I remember that dude said there's a light switch here."

Ouyang Xue, who was the first to pass through the gate and enter the basement, looked around and kept groping on the wall.

"What are these? Did the worker forget to take the spray paint away?"

Elodie, who followed in, squatted down in front of a small bottle and looked at the label on the bottle: "Acrylic paint?"

At this moment, there was a "click" sound, and a gorgeous LED light tube started from the switch that Ouyang Xue had just pressed, and continued to extend forward in the dazzling lights of red, yellow, blue, green and purple, and finally lit up the entire basement like a spark.

"Kakakaka——"

In less than three seconds, the originally dark basement turned into a world filled with LED lights, floating billboards and LCD TV screens.

One, two, three LDE light tubes surround the huge world, constantly changing colors as if they are breathing.

On the bar in the center of the front, a rotating LCD screen was playing scrolling subtitles:

[I can’t wait for you to clean the cupboard, but now you are ready to leave, leaving only a small mark. I sit quietly in the quiet night, savoring your surprise...]

At the entrance of a room on the left hand side, there is an exquisite small table. On the table is a floating lamp of unknown principle, and above the lamp is a small pistol floating.

Next to the small pistol room was a table and chair that seemed to be a place for passers-by to rest or drink, with a pair of metal gloves placed on it.

Further ahead is a huge screen showing a full moon, which provides nearly 80% of the light in the entire basement.

There seems to be a small shooting range on the right side, with an OLED screen with a skull hanging on it. At the innermost part of the shooting range is a huge screen. A black, armored man can be vaguely seen on the screen, with a string of English words flashing next to it: "Adam Smasher".

A dart was firmly stuck in the head area of ​​the shadowy man.

“Oh my god, this is so cool.”

Seeing the bizarre scene in the basement, Elodie couldn't sit still for a moment: "How much electricity does it take to run it all night? We need to be a power grid partner."

“Has youth culture reached this point now?”

Even the well-informed Ouyang Xue was shocked by the legendary "cyberpunk" decoration in the basement: "Su Yunjin also said that this is just undecorated?"

“Is this human technology?”

Philo also sighed: "Although it is a bit dazzling, it is indeed quite shocking."

"Xiaomo..."

I leaned close to Yin Xiamo's ear and asked, "You actually know where this place is, right?"

“I can probably sense it a little bit.”

Yin Xiamo lowered her voice and said, "I know there is a huge power grid and electronic equipment under the coffee shop, and I also know that these electronic equipment are harmless to humans, but I didn't expect the effect to be so amazing."

"I like here."

Elodie picked up a can on the ground, shook it, looked around, found a place that seemed to be specially for graffiti, and sprayed a yellow light band on it with a "hissing" sound.

"Be careful, that thing might be poisonous."

Ouyang Xue turned around: "Ailuodi, you are too reckless..."

“No, I’ve used this thing before.”

Elodie put the spray paint bottle aside and said, "When I was studying abroad, I had a skateboarding competition with some hooligans on the street. They lost, so they treated me to a barbecue and taught me how to use this thing to spray art words."

As she spoke, Elodie seemed to be lost in some memories: "Now that I think about it, I was pretty crazy back then."

I was a little surprised: "Has Xiao Ai ever been abroad?"

"I studied abroad for three years, but I couldn't stay there any longer, so I came back."

Elodi picked up a stick on the ground and kicked a skull out from somewhere. She took aim at the moon on the big screen in front of her and knocked the skull out with the stick.

"Sister Ouyang."

Afterwards, Elodie said to Ouyang Xue: "When this place is ready, can I come down to work in the evening? I really like the decoration style here."

"It's possible, but we probably need to recruit a few more people, so we can't rush it."

Ouyang Xue, who had already walked to the central bar, wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "This place is really too beautiful. It's a little too beautiful to be real. I'll be in charge of the upper part."

"Just let Nuoer take charge of recruiting people. She will always be able to recruit people."

With that, Elodie turned to me: "Right Noel?"

"What do you take me for..."

I smiled bitterly: "Such avant-garde things, even if you tell me so, I still don't understand..."

"It's okay, I know Nuoer will definitely find a way."

Elodie yawned and walked in front of me. "Nuo'er is an elf, Xiaomo is a demon, and Filo is a dragon. What else do we need? Why don't you see if there are any angels? Recruit an angel who likes to play games. She will definitely like the environment here."

"..."

Half an hour later, Yin Xiamo, Filo and I arrived at the top of Nannagi Tower and looked at the sea in front of us, which was shrouded in the silver light of the moon.

From my angle, I could see that the lights on the first floor of Minami Nagi Pagoda below me were on as usual.

The old man who lives here should be there now, listening to the radio facing the sea.

"Should we tell him about Zhou Xiaofei?"

After enjoying the sea breeze for a while, I turned around and said to Yin Xiamo.

In fact, the old man lives very close to Zhou Xiaofei’s grandmother’s home.

In other words, their two houses were separated by a forest, about three kilometers away in a straight line.

But perhaps because there was no road in the forest, the old woman's attention was always on the sea ahead. Even when she occasionally went to the city to buy things, she would not take the same route as Grandma Zhou Xiaofei, so the two of them never met.

Similarly, there is only one way out of Zhou Xiaofei’s grandmother’s house, which leads to the northwest of Nannai District, which is the Rongyao District where Yin Xiamo and I rode our bicycles before. It is exactly opposite to the road that the old man took to enter the city from his “self-built house”.

These two people... The old man went into the city to the east of Minaminagi District in Kamihama City, which is the artisan district, while Grandma Zhou Xiaofei's main activity area is in the west of Minaminagi District, close to the Glory District.

These two areas, one symbolizes money and wealth, and the other symbolizes technology and progress.

The glory area, the rich area.

Craftsmen area, talented people area.

The Minaminagi District is sandwiched between these two districts, and above it is the Central District, which represents the gathering place for ordinary people and workers.

If Zhou Xiaofei's grandmother was really the old man's "girlfriend" back then, she probably couldn't bear to leave her "boyfriend" after surviving the disaster at the beach, so she found a place to live in the forest near the Minami Nagi district. But perhaps because she was pregnant at the time, she had to focus on raising her children.

Anyway, the specific situation... unless you can travel through time, no one can guess what happened back then.

"Does Noel want to tell them?"

Under the bright moonlight, after hearing my question, Yin Xiamo turned away and said, "You can choose this matter."

"I……"

I subconsciously asked, “Should I make a choice?”

"Ah."

Lying down on the open space of Nannagita, Yin Xiamo looked at the full moon above her head: "No one can predict what will happen in the future. The old man is old now, and he lives well here alone. He has never seen her before, and he misses her in his heart. But if he knew that the girl at that time was actually in the forest not far away, if the two met, so many years have passed, after the brief excitement, no one can guarantee that the story will go in the direction of a fairy tale."

"The old man's longings are gone, and he has a new partner. After decades, this partner may no longer be the same as before, and his personality has changed. The old man's dream is shattered. Zhou Xiaofei has a grandfather, and Zhou Xiaofei's mother has a father. The trivialities of the family, the daily necessities of life... No one can be sure that this is the life they want."

"..."

Yin Xiamo’s words left me silent for a long time.

For some reason, the moonlight tonight was very beautiful. The moon was surprisingly large, covering Yin Xiamo and I on the top of Nannai Tower with a layer of silver light.

"Xiaomo...have you ever made a choice?"

After a few seconds, he raised his head and looked at the full moon: "For example, after the hero died, the Demon King's army was so powerful, did Xiaomo ever think of giving up, or taking another path... or something like that?"

"No."

"Eh?"

"To Noer, I am very firm."

Yin Xiamo smiled and said, "The most common choice I have made is to consider whether to eat Nuo'er today or tomorrow."

"Eh?"

"The moon here is more beautiful than the one back home."

Under my gaze, Yin Xiamo stood up with a whoosh and stretched out a hand to me: "My princess, do you want to have an extra moon-viewing session tonight?"

"Moon viewing?"

I took out my phone from my pocket and glanced at the time. "Should we just give up? This is..."

However, before I could finish my words, Yin Xiamo snatched the phone away and threw it into the sea with ease.

"Hey!"

As usual, I stretched out my hand to borrow a cell phone. The girl next to me reacted very quickly. She grabbed my hand and hugged me like a princess. Then she jumped high into the sky and caught the cell phone that had just drawn a parabola in the air and had not yet fallen.

"It's too late to answer. Let me choose on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Princess this time!"

Yin Xiamo, flying in the air, jumped again and leaped higher into the sky.

Then, a strong wind blew, and Filo, who had transformed into a giant dragon, passed below us, blocking out a large area of ​​the moonlight.

With a "click", I landed steadily on the dragon's back, and Yin Xiamo put me down.

"Welcome to the world of sin and desire, my princess."

"..."
