Weird asylum, you're taking in a human being like me?

The deeper the taxi went.

The more bizarre the surrounding scene became.

The ruins on both sides stood in a row, and from the outside, a trace of civilization could be vaguely seen.

Lu Xiao stared at the tall buildings in a daze.

Even though the towering ruins were wrapped in rotten flesh and blood, Lu Xiao could recognize them at a glance.

"Why do I feel that these ruins are so much like office buildings?"

Hearing Lu Xiao's words, the driver also reacted.

"Fuck, I didn't think of it until you said it."

"Isn't this an office building?"

Dante pinched his chin and thought for a moment before saying this.

"Coming in from the periphery, it feels like a road into the city."

"The periphery is the suburbs, or the countryside."

"The deeper you go, the more you feel like you've arrived in the center of the city."

Lu Xiao pondered and asked the driver.

"Do you see where this is?"

-

Perhaps the driver was the only person present who was from the same era as him.

And Lu Xiao had not been to many places in that era.

The driver was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise.

"Do you suspect that this is a place from our time?"

Lu Xiao nodded.

"Yes, I remember the mirror once said that."

"Our world is the same world as the present world."

"And we both come from the ancient times."

The driver was speechless.

"But this is the dark prison, it has nothing to do with our time, right?"

Lu Xiao shook his head, still determined in his thoughts.

"Mirror, where is this place in my world?"

He thought so in his heart, and then the voice of the all-knowing mirror sounded in his ears.

"The answer to this question requires a piece of your fingernail."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao pulled out a piece without hesitation.

After swallowing the fingernail, the all-knowing mirror immediately answered the question.

"The answer is: Shanghai."

Hearing the answer of the all-knowing mirror, Lu Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Lu Xiao pull out the fingernail, Dante and the driver immediately understood what happened.

The driver immediately asked.

"How is it? What does the respected all-knowing mirror say?"

Lu Xiao's expression was a little weird.

His voice was slightly trembling.

"The mirror says this is Shanghai."

Hearing Lu Xiao's words, the driver felt his head buzz.

His eyes gradually dulled.

Dante asked in confusion.

"Shanghai, is this a city?"

He had never heard of this place name.

Lu Xiao's tone was heavy.

"Maybe you will understand if I put it another way."

"In our time, Shanghai was also called the Magic City!"

Instantly, a shocked expression appeared on Dante's face.

After a long while, he said in a deep voice.

"This should be a coincidence, right?"

Lu Xiao shook his head.

"If it is a coincidence, then this is too coincidental."

As he said, he seemed to think of something, and immediately looked at Dante and asked.

"By the way, do you know about the Cataclysm Century?"

"And how the Innovation Century was established, do you know these?"

Dante shook his head somewhat woodenly.

"There is no document left about the Catastrophic Era."

"Even the top archaeologists don't know what happened in the Catastrophic Era."

"That period of history seems to have never existed."

"Originally, there was a lot of debate among the people about the history of the Catastrophic Era."

"A small number of people firmly believe that the Catastrophic Era did exist."

"And most people believe that the Catastrophic Era is a hoax."

"But with the unearthed documents from earlier periods, the Catastrophic Era was confirmed to exist."

After listening to Dante's answer, Lu Xiao was silent for a moment before asking.

"It's only confirmed to exist, but we don't know what happened, right?"

Dante nodded.

"My favorite subject when I was in school was history."

"The books don't record anything about the Cataclysm Era, and even the information about the Late Antiquity Era is very limited, with only a few sentences."

"On the contrary, there is relatively more information about the Medieval Era."

"Our teacher guessed at the time that perhaps the human civilization of the Late Antiquity Era preserved the artifacts before the Middle Ages very well, so they were passed down."

"On the contrary, they didn't record much about their own era."

"There was nothing representative left behind."

Lu Xiao looked at Dante, his eyes changing constantly.

"Then how was the Innovative Century established?"

Dantine thought carefully.

"According to the textbooks, the Innovative Century was established on a piece of wasteland."

"Our earliest ancestors started to create civilization on that piece of wasteland."

"They call themselves pioneers."

"It took them thirty years to develop from agricultural civilization to technological civilization."

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"Do you know how long it took for agricultural civilization to develop into technological civilization in my era?"

"Thousands of years."

"But your ancestors only took 30 years to leap from industrial civilization to technological civilization."

"Don't you think it's weird?"

"Besides, the mirror once said that I am from the ancient times."

Dante was stunned, and then a chill ran down his spine.

"You mean, the pioneers are from the same era as you?"

Lu Xiao did not answer directly.

"In this world, many things I see look familiar, and they are very similar to the products of my time."

"For example, Zhi Nao."

"In our day, it was called a computer."

"The two are just different in name, but their actual functions are the same."

Dante quickly understood the meaning of Lu's joke.

"You mean, the pioneer technology comes from your time?"

Lu Xiao nodded.

"But that's not the point."

"Maybe they dug these technologies out of the soil."

"But since they have obtained these technologies, they must have a better understanding of things in recent centuries."

"And you said that there are only a few sentences about the recent ancient centuries in the textbooks."

"It's very illogical."

Hearing this, Dante also frowned.

"Do you suspect that they tampered with the textbooks?"

"Or is it that history is being concealed?"

"But what's the point of them doing this?"

Dante didn't quite understand.

Lu Xiao did not continue this topic, but continued to ask.

"As to how the Dark Prison was born, do you prison guards have any corresponding information?"

Dante nodded first, then shook his head.

"The information is available, but the confidentiality level is very high."

"Perhaps even the doctor level does not have the authority to access those materials."

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So, who founded the Wardens?"

"What is the purpose of establishing it?"

Dante was silent for a long time, as if thinking.

After a long time, his expression became condensed.

"pioneer!"
