I'm not a drama god

"Tower of Babel..." Chen Ling muttered to himself.

"So, that place is similar to the Ukiyoe's lair?"

"That's understandable, but the Tower of Babel is only used for research, and those 'craftsmen' are not good at fighting... Of course, except for some crazy people with the character 9." Spade 9 seemed to have thought of something, and added with a subtle expression, "In short, the Tower of Babel will not interfere with the operation of the Tianshu Realm... The Tianshu Realm has its own 'order'."

The 9 of Spades emphasizes the word "order", which seems to have a different meaning.

"Alright, alright, why bother telling him so much? He's not going to blow up the Tower of Babel." Jian Changsheng waved his hand casually, "Let's go eat first. I've been running around in the Gray Realm for so many days and I'm almost starving to death."

Spade 9 naturally had no objection, "Let's go to the same place as last time?"

"Yes! The one from last time!"

"That one is a bit expensive... I'm almost done with my salary for this month."

"What are you afraid of? We, Brother Rest Assured, have plenty of money."

Chen Ling:? ? ?

Chen Ling wanted to pull out his gun and shoot Jian Changsheng in the head. After all, this guy also had the [Bloody Robe], so it shouldn't be that easy for him to die... But when he thought about the fact that the other party had been carrying him on his back for so long, reason and kindness stopped him.

"...It's okay. I'll treat you." Chen Ling said calmly, "Where is the restaurant you mentioned?"

"Not urgent."

The 9 of Spades glanced at the large clock on the corner and said, "It's coming soon."

Chen Ling was stunned, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the 9 of Spades. Just as she was about to ask something else, the minute hand on the clock clicked and pointed to 12 o'clock... The next moment, red lights at all intersections came on, and both the trains on the road and the pedestrians on the sidewalk stopped at the same time.

"What's going on?" Chen Ling frowned slightly.

Om-!

A low roar came from under my feet.

The streets lined with parallel railroad tracks were split apart like a zipper. Through the cracks, Chen Ling could see countless gears and levers operating deep in the earth, like an enormous super machine...

The street where Chen Ling was located was like a gear on a machine, slowly turning, meshing with the gears of other blocks, and the opposite block just rotated and disappeared on the other side of the earth. This process lasted for about 30 seconds, and when countless streets and buildings passed by, Chen Ling was replaced by a strange block that she had never seen before!

The main road of this block was perfectly connected to the road beside Chen Ling. Even the parallel rails were tightly connected with a buzzing sound... The red light on the road sign turned green, and the train started slowly, heading straight for the block ahead.

Chen Ling's mouth opened unconsciously. If the iron on the ground and the Tower of Babel just now only surprised him slightly, then the scene just now shocked him completely... On the other hand, the residents of the Tianshu Realm beside him were not surprised at all and continued to move forward calmly.

"This...this is..."

"How is it? Isn't it amazing?" Jian Changsheng grinned when he saw Chen Ling's expression. Ever since he and Chen Ling entered the Tianshu Realm, he has been looking forward to Chen Ling's reaction when he saw this scene. "When I first came here, my jaw dropped to the ground..."

"The Tianshu Realm is active." Spade 9 spoke at the right time, "It's like a huge star disk. Every street and every building has its own orbit... It changes every hour.

Of course, this change follows a certain pattern, and you may not understand it when you first arrive, but as long as you stay here for a while, you will be able to grasp the logic behind it.”

"The Tianshu Realm is a huge star disk?" Chen Ling was puzzled. "Doesn't that mean that everyone needs to confirm the time before going out, as well as the city trajectory that may change during the process of going out?"

"Yes."

"That's too inconvenient. Chief Jian is anti-human."

As a modern person before the Great Disaster, Chen Ling found it troublesome to check the subway transfer time and transfer route before going out, let alone calculate the trajectory of the star chart? He didn't understand why the Tianshu Realm had to come up with such a weird design.

"It's normal for you to think this way. After all, from the very beginning, the original intention of establishing the Tianshu Realm was not to serve the residents..."

"what is that?"

Spade 9 was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Tianshu Jun designed this realm to calculate the trajectory of the Red Star."

Chen Ling was stunned. "Calculate the trajectory of the red star?"

"Tianshu Jun has spent his entire life exploring the mysteries of the Red Star and searching for the reasons for the decline of human civilization. He once predicted that after the catastrophe, the Red Star would descend upon Earth again, but the time was uncertain... So the Tianshu Realm itself is a simulator he built. The changes in the blocks every hour are his calculations of the celestial body's trajectory.

Tianshu Jun, wants to 'capture' Chixing."

Hearing this, Chen Ling's mind unconsciously appeared Lu Xun's face, and he fell silent...

"I see... But the Red Star is not a star in the traditional sense. Can its trajectory really be calculated?"

"Then you'll have to ask Tianshu Jun."

Spade 9 said this as he led Chen Ling and the other person across the road.

After the "celestial evolution", a high-end restaurant called "Comet Hotel" appeared across the street. The main facade was black and gold, and there were a few stars painted on the plaque... Only then did Chen Ling realize that almost every street in the Tianshu Realm had "starry sky" elements, which looked very interesting.

The three of them walked straight to the second floor of the restaurant and found a place to sit down.

It can be seen that this restaurant is very high-end both in terms of environment and service. As soon as Chen Ling and the other two sat down, a waiter in uniform came forward and handed them an exquisite menu.

"It's a rare treat from Hongxin, so I'd be remiss not to splurge on a meal." Jian Changsheng took the menu and flipped through a few pages. "I remember you have king crabs, right?"

Chen Ling:? ? ?

"Yes, sir." The waiter said respectfully, "All the seafood is in the water display cabinet on the first floor. You can choose it yourself."

"Okay, I'll go down and take a look."

Jian Changsheng grinned, and ran downstairs like a gust of wind... He had suffered so many setbacks at the hands of Chen Ling, and this was a rare opportunity to get back at him, so he naturally wouldn't miss it. You know, when Chen Ling was in the Red Dust Realm, he was the special envoy of the Golden Society, a wealthy among wealthy people!

Seeing this, Chen Ling was too lazy to argue with him. He had plenty of money anyway, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to buy the restaurant today.

Chen Ling sat by the window, quietly waiting for Jian Changsheng to order food downstairs. After a while, a lively sound of gongs and drums came from outside the window.

"……what?"

Chen Ling subconsciously looked over and saw a red lion dancing on the street.
