Book 2: Chapter 1: The Real World On the National Highway, an Off-road vehicle was heading towards Central City. On both sides of the avenue were barren wilderness and seemingly endless Guardrail, and the unshielded sunlight shone on the metal parts of the car, making them sparkle. Yangzhi City's National Highway on the east side of the city leads to two directions: one to Distant View Port in the east, and the other is the one they are taking now, which leads directly to Central City. There is very little traffic on this road, because people from Central City rarely go outside, and people from outside who want to go in will not choose to go this way without formal identification. Cheng Zitong was driving very steadily, and the Speed was just right. They set off in the morning, and after five hours, they were close to the area where Central City was located and came to a Checkpoint on the outer edge of Central City. Cheng Zitong slowly stopped the car here and said, "Little Chuan , after passing the Checkpoint, you will be in the territory of Central City. teacher will take you here. Someone from the Main Academy will come to pick you up. Just wait for him there." Chen Chuan said, "Okay, teacher ." He got out of the car, took the Snow Emperor Blade from the back seat, and took out the suitcase from the trunk. Cheng Zitong also got out of the car at this time. He looked up and said, "Hey, the sunlight is still so dazzling." He then put on his Sunglasses. He walked over and patted Chen Chuan "s shoulder, "Little Chuan , after you settle down there, don't forget to send teacher a message." Chen Chuan nodded and said, "teacher , I'm leaving." Cheng Zitong waved to him and said, "Go ahead." Chen Chuan bowed to him, then stood up straight and walked towards the Checkpoint. He came to the mobile isolation barrier, and two station police officer came up to check his transit documents. Seeing that everything was complete, they moved the barrier away and let him pass. It was not until he came out from the other end that he heard the sound of the car behind him driving back. At this time, he raised his head and saw that the road in front of him led straight ahead. Now he could vaguely see Central City at the end. Gray buildings of varying shades stood on the horizon. Countless tall, uneven buildings stood upright there. The high bridge to the sea drew an arc like a rainbow, gradually disappearing into the sea fog. Compared with Yang Zhi, which had been left far behind, it seemed like another world. Under the vast blue sky, he was carrying the Snow Emperor Blade and a suitcase, now facing this world, and the road under his feet was the only line connecting the two. After watching for a while, he put down the suitcase and looked at his watch. It was two o'clock in the afternoon. According to what Cheng Zitong had told him, the person who was coming to pick him up would arrive around two o'clock. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, the entry and exit procedures for Central City are complicated, and it is very inconvenient for people without identification, so there may be delays. He was told to wait patiently. Anyway, there are phones and Telegrams at the Checkpoint, as well as simple accommodations, which can be used as long as he pays. He stood there quietly, silently Guideing the Furnace Breathing Technique. When it was almost three o'clock, the sound of a car came from the road. Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw a half-old, not-so-new armed Off-road vehicle driving towards him. When it was five or six meters away from him, the car slowly stopped, and a head poked out from inside, "Chen Chuan student ?" Chen Chuan sized him up. This was a man in his forties, wearing polarized glasses, with messy hair, deep nasolabial folds on both sides of his mouth and nose, and a beard that looked like it had been deliberately trimmed not long ago. His lips were slightly chapped. He was different from what he had imagined. This person did not have any traces of a Martial Artist , and did not seem like a school teacher . Could he be a faculty member or something like that? It was normal to think about it, because it was during the New Year, and those teacher had no personal relationship with him, so there was no need to come out to pick him up specially. The people who could be sent out were usually the ones with lower status. He said, "I am Chen Chuan ." "That's good." The man did not ask Chen Chuan to do anything to verify his identity. He gestured with his head to the back and said, "Get in the car, sit in the back." Chen Chuan walked over, came to the back of the car, opened the door and sat in. After closing the door and sitting down, he noticed that there was an engraved line from the man's ear to the back of his neck, which was a trace of an Implant being implanted. After he glanced at it, he asked, "How should I address this teacher ?" "Hey, don't call me teacher ," the man quickly waved his hand. "I'm not your Wuyi teacher . Isn't it the New Year? Your Wuyi Academy issued a Commission to let me pick up a student . My credit was okay before, and I've been to Yang Zhi a few times, so they let me come... Fasten your seat belt." The man waited for him to put on his seat belt before starting the car, reversing skillfully, and heading towards Central City. After driving for a while, he said, "My name is Qi Gao , just call me Old Qi . Classmate , did you bring all your ID documents? The city checks strictly, it's difficult to enter the city without them." Chen Chuan said, "I brought them." He asked again, "So, is it possible to enter the city without documents?" "You can enter, but you have to take a detour and take risks. I have to take the risk and you have to take the risk. It's better to have less trouble." Old Qi looked in the rearview mirror, "Brother Chen, there's nothing to hide. Chen Chuan said, "Yes." Old Qi smiled, with a hint of mystery on his face, "The front there is the checkpoint to enter the city. You will need your documents when you get there, and you will understand then." Driving along the road for less than half an hour, the city was getting closer and closer. In some of the closer places, he could already see the silver-gray high-rise Buildings under the blue sky. There were no Guardrails on the side of the road. Instead, there were basin-shaped piers, a bit like column bases without columns. It seemed like people could walk on them, but he couldn't see what they were for. Old Qi said, "This is it, get out of the car." As he spoke, he took a box and got out of the car first. Chen Chuan looked outside. It was still very empty here, with no one else. This didn't look like a Checkpoint. He also pushed the door open and got out of the car. Old Qi put the box on the ground, then squatted down and opened it with a click. Immediately, cold air came out, and it was full of ice. He reached out and threw a few pieces far away, and a sealed bag was buried in the middle. He took it out, unsealed it, took out the contents, and threw it to Chen Chuan . Chen Chuan caught it and found that it was a Mask that covered the upper half of his face. This thing seemed to be made of bone, but it felt very light. The eyes were like a layer of lens-like transparent film. There were two small white worms on the edges of the Mask, wriggling slightly, looking like they were growing on it. "Put on the Mask," Old Qi said over there. Chen Chuan put the Mask on his face and felt that it was easily adsorbed there. The two sides of the Mask formed a curve above the auricle, which happened to rest there. After putting this thing on, the strong light outside was blocked. Although only the area around the eyelids and other parts was shielded, at this moment he had a feeling of being isolated from the outside world. At this time, the two small worms slowly stretched down and drilled into the ear canal, but only the front end went in a little, and they also shrank slightly as if self-adjusting, and soon became much more fitted. At the same moment, he saw Just after he chose to do so, his eyes darkened first, and then flickered like a jump, and he heard a hissing sound in his ears. When he looked up again, the entire city suddenly appeared in front of him in another form. On those originally pale, gray buildings, layers of colorful neon and swirling light bands floated up. They leaped, stretched, and extended with the light curtain into the clouds, all the way into the sky! Various huge character projections and shaking, flickering scenes floated on the dazzling light, from the old times, the new era, the real, and the bizarre. They seemed to have been extracted from the timeline and then merged and confused in a chaotic space. At this moment, his ears became extremely noisy, filled with languages from various countries and fragmented, disturbing sounds. Whether it was light, shadow, or sound, all of this was poured into him, wrapping him, surrounding him. Each seemed to want to squeeze into his attention as much as possible, but every time he tried to stay, he was washed away by the countless streams of information that followed and disappeared in an instant. "Hey, Brother Chen, can you still hear me?" This voice seemed to come from a distant place, but it was the only coherent and distinguishable one. Chen Chuan turned his head and saw Old Qi shouting at him, one hand waving in front of him, and the other hand placed next to his ear, constantly making a gentle patting motion to him. His action of shrinking his neck, fitting his palm, and closing his eyes was like lulling a child to sleep, which seemed a little funny, but the meaning was very clear. Chen Chuan raised his hand and patted his ear twice gently. The worm in his ear suddenly curled up, and at that moment, the mask darkened again. Everything he had seen before disappeared without a trace, and all the complex sounds disappeared. The world returned to its original state. He stretched out his hand and slowly took off the mask. The distant wind blew over, carrying some dust, blowing past the ends of his hair. The surroundings were quiet and vast, and the buildings opposite still stood there quietly, as if those things just now were some kind of illusion. Old Qi stared at him from left to right, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise: "Brother Chen, are you okay? Most people Chen Chuan held up the bone Mask in his hand and asked, "Old Qi , what is this?" Old Qi shrugged and said, "The Da Shun government calls this a "Boundary Token'. We usually call it a "Yin Yang Instrument'. There's also a special name..." There seemed to be some kind of light flashing in his eyes, "Oh, this is "Bio-Field Interaction Linking Technology'. Other Companies have special names for it. Anyway, there are many. You should have seen Central City just now, right?" Chen Chuan nodded. "Then... welcome to The Real World." Old Qi spread out his hands. There was excitement and madness in his expression, and his voice seemed to be mixed with hatred and love. He looked in the direction of Central City and exclaimed, "What you saw when you came was just the covered and incomplete side, and what you just
