At the northwest corner of the third floor of Seagral Square, after passing through many layers of pipes and climbing many stairs, one would find a small door whose original color had been obscured by rust. There was a plastic sign that read "Under Repair" hanging on the handle of the door. It was already covered with a thick layer of dust. Even the words on the sign could not be seen clearly.
A tall, black-haired, handsome young man, who was completely covered in a robe, nodded to someone behind him. A young girl immediately walked forward and held the door handle. With a creak, the door, which seemed as if it had not been opened for many years, opened a small gap with great difficulty.
The place where the door was touched did not lose a single speck of dust. It was as if the dust had been glued to the door.
Seeing that the door had opened, the other young girl also peeked behind the door. Her eyes were filled with doubt. She and the twintailed young girl who opened the door looked like a pair of sisters. They were about the same age, and both of them looked thin and weak. Their slender arms seemed as if they could break with a light snap. Lin Sanjiu wondered how many days it had been since they had eaten a good meal.
However, when she took a step forward, a black leather rope swung out from her abnormally small fist. It went all the way up into the black-haired young man's robe. When she moved, the black-haired young man stumbled and had no choice but to follow her.
Behind the door was a circular corridor. The tasteless wallpaper on the corridor was almost torn. It was so quiet that it seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world. Every time she took a step, she could hear a small puff of dust flying into the air. Under the dim light, she could vaguely see another small door at the end of the corridor that looked similar.
"If we go out from here, we can reach the Encyclopedia Forum?"
Lin Sanjiu, who had turned into a frail young girl, spoke in a low voice. She didn't seem to have the same cold and stern tone as before, especially after she choked on the dust and coughed a few times.
However, the black-haired young man, Honeysuckle, didn't dare to treat her lightly.
To put it bluntly, the [Mask] was just a camouflage. It could not really change the wearer's appearance. Even though Honeysuckle, who was less than 1.75 meters tall, looked tall and handsome now, he couldn't reach the light hanging from the ceiling even if he stood on his tiptoes and stretched his arms.
Similarly, Lin Sanjiu's skeletal wings were only temporarily out of sight. In reality, they were still hanging there, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. If someone was unlucky enough to bump into them, they would still end up with a bloody head.
To prevent this from happening, Honeysuckle and Soulsqn had to stay close to Lin Sanjiu at all times to prevent anyone from getting close to her.
Honeysuckle was an experienced man who knew when to yield and when to stand tall. Ever since Lin Sanjiu grabbed his ankle and emptied his wallet, he swallowed his weak protest. After all, there was a huge gap between their combat abilities.
"Behind this door is the Mokugyo Encyclopedic Forum," Honeysuckle said eagerly when Lin Sanjiu twisted the door handle, "Don't be fooled by the dust. Actually, many people know about this path."
"Mm." Lin Sanjiu opened the door hesitantly.
Another world came crashing down on her as she moved.
The air became hot and turbid due to human breathing. The moment Lin Sanjiu took her first step, she was enveloped by the noise of the people around her. Lin Sanjiu's ears were filled with the bright white light that lit up her retina. Her gaze fell on the edge of the platform not far away. She scanned the countless screens on the platform. She froze for half a second before she realized that she was standing on a platform.
"This is the staircase," Honeysuckle said as if he was afraid that she couldn't see him. "Mom, slow down. It's steep."
If it weren't for her current appearance, Lin Sanjiu would have flipped him upside down.
The Mokugyo Encyclopedic Forum was much bigger than she had imagined. After she walked down the long staircase, Lin Sanjiu found herself standing in a hall that stretched as far as the eye could see. The ceiling was hidden in the darkness where the lights couldn't reach. On both sides of the hall, there were many small rooms that protruded out of the walls. They were arranged in an interesting manner. And in the middle of the hall...
It reminded her of the pictures of the Wall Street stock market that she often saw in her hometown.
There were hundreds of large silver screens that were as tall as a person. They were arranged neatly in a few rows. Most of the screens were occupied by posthumans. In between the large screens, there were a large number of small screens for individual operations. Most of them were occupied. The bright lights on the screens lit up thousands of faces of different people.
Lin Sanjiu wandered around the hall. She felt that her eyes weren't enough to take in everything.
"These big screens usually show announcements from the Twelve Worlds," Honeysuckle said as he pointed at the screen closest to him. Before anyone could see his hand that was tied up by the black leather rope, he put it down. "For example, someone wants to exchange items, ask about the status of a consular officer, or challenge someone to a duel … Just like the mission I accepted, I found it here."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at the screen. She caught the first half of the sentence from the crowd of people, "I'm looking for another consular officer to cooperate with. I'm a level 3 consular officer …"
The sentence rolled for a while before it disappeared. Lin Sanjiu followed Honeysuckle deeper into the hall, her heart filled with a sense of wonder.
"The information shown on these large screens is also categorized. If you are interested in any information, you can go to the corresponding category," Honeysuckle explained briefly and led Lin Sanjiu to a small screen in the corner. Every single screen was in a square "box", providing a little privacy for the user.
"There are more of these than the large screens," Honeysuckle looked at the "box" and smiled. "You can search, publish … You can do anything. Occasionally, I will come here to add some information to earn some extra money."
Speaking of extra money, he couldn't help glancing at the small pouch in Lin Sanjiu's hand. He looked a little heartbroken.
"Add information?" Lin Sanjiu's interest was piqued. "What kind of information can earn money?"
"The Twelve Worlds Centrum has a shared system," Honeysuckle said proudly. "It's a very amazing system. Every time you come out of an apocalyptic world, you can input information about that world into this system. Depending on how valuable your information is, you can earn a corresponding amount of red crystals. Next time, if someone wants to know what their destination is, they can spend some money to see the information you input. "
"He was right. This was indeed an amazing invention." Lin Sanjiu was impressed. She suddenly understood where the siblings got their information about "Kisaragi Station". No matter how powerful Progressor Alliance was, it was impossible for them to know who all the posthumans who had been to Kisaragi Station were. With this system, they could effectively centralize all the information. No wonder the survival rate of the people in the Twelve Worlds Centrum was so high!
"Can I find information about the Twelve Worlds Centrum?" Lin Sanjiu walked closer to the small screen and tapped a few times. "For example, if I want to know more about the Munitions Factory, can I search the Munitions Factory directly?"
