Above the gray fog

One month later.

After going around in circles and passing through four or five jump channels, we finally arrived at the 17th branch of the Continuation Courtyard mentioned by Ran Yue's great grandmother.

The starship hovered in front of a vortex.

Ran Yue said solemnly:

"There is a dimensional channel in front, which should be reserved for you. Behind the dimensional channel is the super-dimensional space."

"I can only send you here. Just now, Hong Yue issued an emergency summons to me. I need to rush back immediately. It should be something important."

"Well." Lin Shan nodded slightly, "You go and do it. I will go in by myself."

Lin Shan watched the starship disappear into a stream of light, and then took Jingwei straight through the vortex channel.

The next second, Lin Shan felt his feet soften, and there was an inexplicable elastic force that wanted to bounce him up.

He quickly looked down and found that the land below was soft and black, and the air was filled with an indelible sweetness.

There were several rockery next to it that looked soft and colorful.

Looking further ahead, there is a river, with thick colored water flowing down the river.

The trees by the river are fluffy like cotton candy, with a creamy luster.

Jingwei reached out and picked a leaf and put it in her mouth, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. It is indeed sweet.

"These are all sugar!" Jingwei sniffed hard, "This super-dimensional space produces sugar, Lin Shan, will you work here in the future? This is too happy!"

Jingwei also took a piece of soft, half red and half green from the rockery next to it.

Put it in your mouth and chew it gently, "Delicious!"

Lin Shan also took a piece to observe, it is really sugar. For a candy world, Lin Shan also feels interesting. The super-dimensional space is always full of some strange things.

Looking straight ahead, a winding path leads to the distance, and the road is lined with cotton candy shrubs.

The road leads to a chocolate castle, and the high walls are dotted with ice cream balls and cherries.

"Is this the No. 17 branch of the Continuation Court?" Lin Shan looked at the castle in front of him.

At this time, a chocolate carriage came quickly, and a soft cream unicorn pulled the carriage, shaking its colorful marshmallow mane and pulling the carriage briskly.

"Please get in the car, my master asked me to pick you up." The cream unicorn spoke human language.

Jingwei stared at the unicorn, her eyes sparkling, and she licked her lips unconsciously.

"Wait for the two of you to get on the carriage at the back, and the unicorn will turn around and drive towards the castle."

Lin Shan admired the strange candy kingdom in front of him through the car window, feeling like he was in a fairy tale kingdom. When he looked up, he could see birds flying in the sky, their wings inlaid with nuts, flapping their wings to make a crisp sound.

A double-decker bus came towards them, like a large dessert box.

In the bus, there were more than a dozen candy people, exuding the breath of ordinary creatures.

The unicorn carriage suddenly accelerated, passed through the gate of the candy city at a very fast speed, and stopped in front of a tall castle.

"Baji, Baji."

Lin Shan was attracted by the sound of Jingwei smacking her lips.

"What are you eating?"

"Candy." Jingwei looked at Lin Shan with a strange look on her face.

"Guests, we are here." The unicorn's crying voice came.

Lin Shan lifted the curtain of the carriage and found that the unicorn's horn had disappeared. Then he looked at the cone-shaped candy in Jingwei's hand...

Lin Shan glared at Jingwei, and then he got off the carriage naturally as if nothing had happened.

This unicorn is not a real creature, but a product of rules. It will not hurt to lose a horn. It is precisely because it is a product of rules that it looks quite delicious. Even Lin Shan almost couldn't help wanting to taste it.

There are bustling candy people in front of the castle. They are just like ordinary creatures, walking around the street normally, talking and laughing, and even have their own families.

"Guests, please follow me." The unicorn's crying voice came from the front, "Go upstairs from here."

The unicorn led the two along the surrounding stairs and went all the way up to the top of the castle.

It was completely different from the entire Candy Kingdom. It was filled with sophisticated instruments that displayed various data. Dozens of scientific researchers in white coats were talking to themselves or checking something in front of the instruments.

The unicorn led the two through the instruments and found the innermost room.

"Come in." The cream unicorn stood at the door. Without seeing any movement, he heard a cold voice from the room, "Lin Shan, come in. The other is waiting outside."

"Wait for me here." Lin Shan said and pushed the door open.

The space in this office was not large. There was a desk in front of it, and an old big-butt computer was placed on the desk.

Lin Shan didn't understand... why would the Continuation Institute use such an old computer?

A man in a blue uniform sat in front of the big-butt computer, and he was looking at Lin Shan at the moment.

In addition to this man, there was also a woman who looked a little younger sitting next to him in this office. She was kneading some little people with candy.

The entire Candy Kingdom might have been made by her.

"Sit down, don't be shy." The man retracted his gaze and focused his eyes back on the big-butt computer screen in front of him. "The system shows that you joined the Continuation Institute more than 1,000 years ago. Your status is the lowest-level operator. The one who invited you to join the Continuation Institute is... that duck."

The man typed quickly on the computer, "Well... since you're already employed, you don't have to go through the formalities again. Now, congratulations on your promotion from an ordinary operator to the director of a branch."

"Come over here. There are three branch numbers here. Pick one you like." The man waved his hand to Lin Shan to stand next to him.

Lin Shan walked over and looked at the computer screen.

Home, return, confirm. Seeing this interface, Lin Shan was sure that this was an ancient desktop computer. There were three strings of numbers in the middle of the screen, which reminded him of the steps of choosing numbers when buying a mobile phone card on Earth.

[1361264\\

[086]

[9171894712]

"What do these numbers mean?" Lin Shan asked.

"No, they are just branch numbers. I recommend you choose a short one because it is easier to remember and more pronounceable." The man replied.

"Okay, then choose this 086." Lin Shan nodded and pointed to the number in the middle.

"Okay, I will register the 086 branch of the Continuation Institute with your identity. From now on, you will be the dean of this branch and will be responsible for protecting all the continuation of the institute." The man typed quickly on the computer and finally chose to submit.
