Chapter 28 The reason for being concealed (two chapters in one)
"The first space shock was around the New Year thirty-four years ago. In order to satisfy my mother's dream for many years, my father took out the savings of five years and took my mother and my young me to travel here. The time has passed so long, I have almost forgotten the specific experience, but when I just left the transfer hall, I can't forget the shock of the scene in front of me."
"You can travel here once in five years of savings. At that time, I was already a middle- and high-level income earner. I usually saw a lot of scenes, but that time I was really shocked by the exotic scenery here. Now I sometimes dream about it. In addition, the deepest memory is the vibration of space."
"When the first outbreak, people were not as numb as they are now. Many people were frightened at that time, including some relatively weak energy controllers. They could not sense the stability of the space through their energy and did not destroy it. They thought that the space was about to collapse. Driven by fear, they fled wildly and trampled on each other, causing a lot of casualties. Haha, it was not hurt by vibration, but instead hurting themselves. It was stupid enough. Hum? What does your weird look mean? And what are your fingers counting?"
After leaving the cabin, the two walked side by side in the artificial garden and soon walked to the edge of the building. Through the transparent and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, the scenery outside was clearly seen.
The building is located in a golden area, with outstanding height and a very good view. You can see most of the street views of the green area.
Princess Snow said it right. People who have lived in the Source Energy Capital for a long time have now become numb to this sudden vibration of space. After only five minutes, the commotion outside has completely subsided. Most blocks have returned to normal, and traffic and pedestrians on the street have flowed continuously again.
Although the proportion of pedestrians in the range that can be seen is extremely high, even if they are not making phone calls, they are often whispering to the people around them, but their steps are not panic and their expressions are... Well, they are all flirting, not only are they not worried or afraid, but they are particularly excited, just like they have just experienced something fun.
This is more than just numbness, it is simply treated like a festival.
"No, no, no, nothing, I absolutely didn't count the time, nor did I think about age." The crow shook his head seriously, "I'm just calculating how much damage the first outbreak will cause. I'm a crow that symbolizes honesty and kindness. I will never lie, believe me."
"Hahaha, no wonder Xiao Pei scolds you bastards, bastards, and things every day, but never really gets angry with you." Princess Snow smiled instead and said angrily, "You think too much. They have been with me until I was thirteen years old, but I haven't died in the first outbreak. It's just a coincidence that you don't need you to change the topic. Besides, even if they really die because of this, I, Yan Xue, are not weak enough to need others to comfort me in this way. In addition, you secretly call me Aunt Xue and Grandma Xue in your heart. You'd better not let me find a chance to settle the accounts."
"Hey, it's too much. I understand everything and I'm looking for an opportunity to hold grudges."
"I didn't refute it. You really called that in your heart. Humph, being petty is not just a patent for crows, it's a woman's privilege." Snow Princess gave the crow a blank look, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, it's just that this space shock just made me recall that experience, and I felt a little emotional. Not only was the pedestrians chaotic, but the traffic was also the same. The streets were full of collision vehicles, and aircraft falling from the sky. The entire green area was full of fire and smoke. That time, the traffic was not completely restored until the night. Unlike now, although there were many accidents, it basically returned to normal in a few minutes."
Yes, traffic has been restored.
Thirty seconds of space vibration caused many traffic accidents, almost every street, but most of them were not serious. After all, the traffic was congested and the traffic was slow, so it was not serious even if it was serious. This force majeure was caused by, so they basically came down to find a way to repair the car. The handling was very fast and the traffic was quickly resumed.
Only a small number of maglev cars have awkwardness due to the awkward height of the suspension and the reaction space during the space shock is too small, so that it crashes on the head of a vehicle on the ground, which leads to a serious accident. The explosions and thick smoke seen in sight are basically caused by them. However, the results of falling and collision are completely different. Falling is limited to a small range. Seeing the thick smoke rolling loudly, it actually has a pitiful impact.
"The direct impact of the first outbreak lasted for at least ten days, and it is said that many people went bankrupt because of this." Snow Princess' tone could hear a little gloating. "But since then, there have been more laws in the Source Energy Capital. All high-rise buildings must be equipped with rigid shields. If violated, the losses caused by the building owner will be borne by the building owner."
The crow understood why Snow Princess gloated because he also witnessed several accident scenes below that could be called tragic.
It is not the maglev that causes the tragedy, but the aircraft.
Jet aircraft in the air generally do not crash, but most of them are very fast, and those who fly high are not afraid of it. However, a few aircraft have not raised the height and are traveling between buildings. If the driver happens to be in manual operation when the space vibration breaks out, it will be really lively. It will definitely be too late to turn or lift. It is unrealistic to stop in place, and it is natural to hit the building.
Here are many examples, at least a dozen fires and explosions, which were caused by the aircraft crashing into the building. Fortunately, before most aircraft hit the building, a rigid shield popped up outside the building. Then the aircraft hit the shield and exploded into a ball of fire. The only loss was the pilot's own property, an aircraft.
However, for some reason, the shield did not eject in time. The aircraft hit the head and directly hit the building from the window floor. The aircraft exploded immediately. Even the aircraft, with the facilities inside the building, was completely destroyed by the shock waves caused by the explosion. This is a green area where every inch of land is valuable, and the interior of the large building is not as cheap as ordinary bargains. Each of them is sky-high. The economic losses caused to the building owners of this explosion are so funny that it makes people laugh.
"The direct impact lasted for ten days, but the indirect impact continued. At least seventeen years ago, when I settled in the Source Energy Capital, the impact continued." Princess Snow smiled, withdrew her gaze from the window, and slowly wandered in the garden. "But at that time, only a few top strong people were still paying attention to this phenomenon. The most interesting name was Lily, the silver lily."
The crow's eyes shrank slightly, and he followed the Snow Princess, listening without saying a word. These information that even Rose may not remember or even know. Even if he missed a little, even if he could forgive himself, he would probably be chased by Rose's vines along the Blood Alley from the entrance to the end of the alley.
"The lily at that time was younger than the roses now. She was like a sun, emitting the light of attention, powerful, beautiful, optimistic, confident, and free. Everyone who approached her would be attracted by her and approached her unconsciously, just like a planet being attracted by stars, even if it was covered up its own brilliance."
Listening to the description of Snow Princess, the crow closed his eyes, and the images he had seen twice in the wasteland and the Source Energy Capital appeared in his mind, the proud silver figure, the dazzling woman, and at the end, the beautiful head that rolled to the ground with regret.
"I never deny that I am one of the conquered people. From the day I first came into contact with her, I fell in love with her. She dominated, I admired, and that's all. From then on, I was willing to follow her and even crawled in front of her. Whether this is humble or noble, as long as I can fight side by side with her, I will not care about anything."
The proud princess and noble queens said such a humble declaration, not only without any shame, but rather full of pride. The crow could not understand this almost distorted feeling, but he did not doubt the authenticity of the feelings, because when the Snow Princess was confiding, he kept staring at the other party's eyes. What he saw was nothing but unforgettable longing and deep pain. The pain might not be strong, but it was like a shadow, almost despair. If such emotions could be faked, the crow could not think of anything else that could be considered true.
"Since then, we spent the happiest day together, met many people, and experienced many things. The seven worlds are our back garden. We are carefree and come and go freely." His Royal Highness, who was trapped in memories, smiled happily. "About the reasons for the vibration of space, we can investigate clearly. A large part of it is our credit. If it weren't for us, they might be rushing around like headless flies. Humph, even Hua Qianshu and Xiao Baihai dare not deny this. However, the reasons I just mentioned to you are just news that can be made public. Most people know that there is still some news that cannot be made public, and there are very few people who know it."
"Why?"
"Why?" Snow Princess sneered, "asked knowingly."
"It seems that it is not good news. Once it is made public, it will inevitably cause a wide range of panic." The crow sighed and smiled bitterly, "As you said, space vibrations are not only in the source and energy capital, but other worlds also exist. They will definitely investigate, and they should be somewhat surprised, and even the progress is not slower than us. The truth has been thoroughly found. Then the problem comes. If they find out the truth, our confidentiality will be meaningless, because there is no airtight wall in the world, and the people will definitely learn the truth from another world unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless they cooperate with us, they will only disclose the part of the news we have made public, and they will also conceal most of the truth." The crow squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "They will not do such things for no reason. There is only one possibility that they will do this, that is, the real reason will cause panic for every world, so everyone will never mention it."
"Great inference, but unfortunately, this time it was wrong." Princess Snow shook her head regretfully, "Actually, it can't be said to be completely wrong. If it continues to develop, it will go to the point you said, but it has not yet arrived yet, because the other worlds have not yet investigated the vibration of space, and the results obtained are only on the surface, that is, the reasons I just mentioned, and have not touched the deep causes or the deep consequences, so the current situation has been formed. But what you speculated is correct. If they touched them in the future, they will definitely make the same choice."
"This is strange." The crow frowned, "Not mentioning the two civilizations that are about to collapse. The other four worlds should be not much different from our high-end level. Why are they so much worse than our investigation progress? Is it because of Sister Lily?"
"No, just talk about the matter. Lily's ability and function are not that exaggerated." Princess Snow sighed, "It's just that there is one of the most important clues, and one of the most important things happens to be in our world."
"Huh?" A flash of inspiration flashed in the crow's mind, "The eighth door?"
With a "kick", a layer of ice appeared around Snow Princess and immediately shattered and disappeared. She said with a gloomy face, "Your progress is so fast, you already know the existence of the eighth door. No, Little Rose should have known the eighth door for a long time, but the ability to connect it to what I said shows that your progress has far exceeded my imagination. You not only know the specific point of the eighth door, but also know what it relates to. Huh, it seems that I am going to re-adjust my attitude, especially... my attitude towards you."
"Well? Why did it become an attitude towards me?" The crow spread his hands and said with a grievance, "I am just a passing person, what does it have to do with me."
"Stop talking nonsense, I know what Rose wants to do. I know her abilities very well. I have known what the female leopard is. I know better than you. If you rely on them, you can know what the eighth door means within three years. It is already a super level. Now that you have been joining for more than two months, they have accelerated their progress for three years. What do you think has something to do with you?" Snow Princess glared at him and said angrily, "But it is understandable that you and Rose are very complementary. When they cooperate, they get twice the result with half the effort. In addition, the reckless leopard obeys Rose's words. Think about it carefully, it is acceptable to make a rapid progress. That's... is this progress a little faster?"
"Hmm? I still think it's fast?"
"The progress is too fast, and the foundation will inevitably be unstable. Of course, it is okay for her to hide in the dark now, but if it continues at this speed, it will not be able to hide it in a few years. At that time... Lily..."
