Chapter 104 City

This city... looks like it's made of the remnants of a dream.

Countless debris formed a huge disk at an altitude of about one kilometer in the sky.

The diameter of this disk is about ten kilometers, and there are a large number of... lines extending under the disk.

These lines are also made up of dust-like residues. They form long and thin threads extending from the disk down.

At the end of each line, there is an object of different shapes. Some of them are square-shaped, and some are spherical. Because the lines are of different lengths and extend in different directions, they are also hanging in the air at different positions.

These hanging objects are the buildings of this city.

Therefore, this city is also called the Hanging City... This is the name Lin just came up with.

Now Lin has come to the entrance of the Hanging City.

On the surface below the Hanging City, there is a wall made of debris that is more than 30 meters high.

There is a semicircular opening over six meters high at one place in the wall, and many creatures gather in front of this opening.

There are a few gray legs among these creatures, and the rest are creatures Lin has never seen before. However, most of their appearances are very similar to... gray legs.

That is, a geometric object with one to six legs underneath.

Lin felt that they should all be similar species, but some were not. Lin also saw some floating creatures.

It is obvious that there are indeed a lot of creatures gathered here... So many gathered here means that this city has a lot of energy to feed them.

These creatures were lined up very neatly at the entrance, so Lin's Veronica also rode on the disc and ran over to line up at the end of the line.

"You may come in."

Lin could see a creature at the entrance ahead conducting... inspection.

This creature looked like a very small thundercloud, about one meter in diameter, covered in gray mist and occasionally flashing lightning-like light.

It used the language signals of a dream creature. Lin did not understand this language at first. But because she had learned it from Shattered Shadow before, Lin now also understood some of the language of dream creatures.

"You can't do it, go die. If you don't have this kind of thinking awareness, why are you alive? You can't get through it, go commit suicide."

This mini thundercloud denies entry to most creatures, who don't seem to have any particular objections to this.

They leave immediately after being rejected, as do almost every living thing.

Lin also discovered that this mini thundercloud was full of...malice.

Because their language is actually sending thought signals, every time it rejects a creature, it will send out its own strong emotion of wanting the other party to die.

So Lin can translate it into various words like "go to hell".

Soon, most of the creatures ahead of Lin were rejected, and finally it was Lin's Veronica's turn.

"You are abnormal, you can't pass, go to hell."

Lei Yun said this when it was his turn.

"Where is this place?" Lin did not leave, but questioned it.

"You don't want to die?" Lei Yun said, "This is not allowed... You must... It's wrong."

Lin found that it muttered to itself for a while and then floated in, and the entrance... seemed to be unguarded from then on.

From here Lin could see that there were many buildings that looked like mounds. These buildings were not connected by any lines, they were just on the ground.

After the thundercloud floated between these buildings, it was never seen again.

After waiting for hundreds of seconds, Lin found that it had not come out yet, so Lin... directly controlled the disc to go in.

At this time, there were already new creatures queuing up behind Lin. When they noticed Lin going in, they immediately followed her in.

As soon as they came in, they all scattered and ran away.

Lin was examining the buildings here that looked like earth mounds. These mounds were hollow and made of debris, with the tallest being ten meters.

There's a special dream energy inside them...something like glue that holds all the residue together.

I don't know what the meaning of these things is.

After observing around for a while, Lin discovered that there were living creatures inside some of the mounds.

The creatures are the same ones that lined up before. They are squatting inside... and thinking.

That is, they keep thinking about the same thing over and over again.

However, Lin was not quite sure what they were thinking, but she roughly knew that they were recalling something from the past.

"It seems that you are the kind with great potential."

At this moment, Lin suddenly discovered that the thundercloud that had just run away appeared behind Veronica.

It looks like its attitude has improved a bit.

"What is this place used for?" Lin asked it.

"This place is abandoned." Lei Yun said, "Why don't you know about this? Why?"

"Do you really have to know?" Lin asked.

"This is not a rule, but it shouldn't be like this. Every creature should know about this place, otherwise they wouldn't come here. But you... why can you come here! Why! Why don't you just die! You..." The thundercloud seemed to be getting more and more angry as it spoke, and it kept flashing like a real thundercloud.

Although it looked very angry, it finally told Lin what this place was.

This place is called the 'abandoned land'.

That is what Lin saw, a place where waste gathers, and there will be a lot of waste gathered here.

And for living things to come here, they must be "abandoned".

Lin had arrived here before through a jumping point, and how to jump from a jumping point is actually very... particular.

When a creature touches a jump point, it will feel like a very long time has passed.

When ordinary creatures experience this long period of time, they will automatically "fill" this period with some content.

The creature will figure out what it has experienced and what encounters it has had during this period of time.

That is, imagine an experience for yourself.

Creatures with weaker thinking abilities are out of control, and this imagination automatically pops up in their minds, while creatures with stronger thinking abilities... or you could say, creatures that are very familiar with jumping, are able to control this imagination.

By controlling the content, details and length of this imagined experience, you can adjust how far you jump.

Each jump point has a maximum distance, and familiar creatures can control themselves so that they don't have to go to the maximum distance... they can choose a location halfway.

There is one more thing to note about this jump, and that is…you must never imagine yourself dead in your experience.

Otherwise you will really die.

This "abandoned point" is a place that can only be reached in a very wonderful state of imagination.
