"The Modern Age of the Mysterious (

"I-I don't quite understand..." Sarah's face was illuminated by the light reflecting the sea water, her expression was confused, "What the **** is going on?"

Solomon was also shocked, but in slightly better condition than Sarah: "Ocean City is indeed located at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean...

"The game just now, as Mr. Dirac had foreseen, was Verne's test!"

People who were shocked by the underwater scene suddenly realized one thing: the "pragmatic" Christopher and his fiancée, because of their selfishness and blindness, will never be able to see such a scene and step into the dreamy city in this life. now...

Is that what it was all about just now? Looking at the underwater metropolis that was getting closer and closer, Sean had mixed feelings in his heart.

The elevator finally entered the building, and the sea water was isolated from the outside.

It seems to give people who enter Ocean City a deeper shock. Outside the sightseeing elevator, there is a huge statue of a steel giant holding the earth. The artistic font full of design sense is written on the statue: "Precision alchemy and modern industry. Brilliant crystallization - welcome to Ocean City!"

The elevator stopped at the bottom, and through the glass, only the closed wall could be seen.

The sight suddenly narrowed, making people feel a little suffocated.

The doubts have not been completely dissipated, and this sudden confinement made the sense of fear ferment again among this group of passengers.

Everyone became silent and restless

Soon, with the sound of the airtight release, the hatch on the side of the elevator opened.

Bright lights and warm applause poured into the elevator at the same time.

The group looked out of the elevator nervously.

It looked like a large station from the outside. A dozen young men and women in navy blue uniforms lined up outside the elevator. They smiled enthusiastically and applauded enthusiastically under the leadership of a woman in the front. .

The leading woman's orange hair is braided, and the freckles on her face are clearly reflected in the navy blue uniform. She wears braces, which makes her smile extraordinarily warm and bright.

"Welcome to Ocean City." After the braces girl stopped the applause, she said with a smile, "You may have experienced a relatively intense emotional experience just now, so the adrenaline content in your blood is still relatively high..."

Virto angrily pushed aside the people standing in front and walked to the front.

In the process, Sean smelled an unpleasant smell - a stench like rotting meat.

Carmen's bodyguard pointed at the braces girl with a thick finger: "You'd better give an explanation!"

Victor seemed to have spoken to everyone, including Sarah, everyone walked out of the elevator and almost surrounded the smiling staff.

After stepping out of the elevator, Sean realized that this seemed to be the elevator center for entering and leaving Ocean City.

The shape is very similar to that of the New Testament long-distance station, but the dome is transparent glass, and you can see the blue water illuminated by the light overhead.

The braces girl looked rather apologetic, raised her hands, and explained: "This is the 'city entry ceremony' designed by Mr. Mayor - he only welcomes those tourists who believe in their dreams into the city...

"Also, he places a lot of emphasis on 'experience'.

"In order to make all tourists who enter the city feel like they're 'reborn' the moment they see Ocean City, he designed such a terrifying little theater.

"Don't you feel that when everyone's beliefs were shaken, seeing this city on the bottom of the sea, that kind of experience is unforgettable in this life and this life?"

Carmen raised her black eyebrows and walked over to Victor: "Is this done to give us an experience that we will never forget in this lifetime?"

The orange-haired girl nodded vigorously.

Solomon also seemed to want to understand something, and shook his head: "Well... just like the haunted house in the playground, when I walked out of the exit, I really felt reborn...

"Plus the moment I saw Ocean City..." Solomon looked up at the transparent dome, and several fish were swimming by, "I will never forget that scene in my life."

"But..." The detective shook his finger, showing a preaching expression, "This part of you is too dangerous.

"There are old people and children in our line..." Solomon pointed to Aunt Sarah and the line, "What if something happens?!"

"We have the most professional medical team..." The girl pointed to the staff standing behind her, "and some emergency plans - there are actually staff in the lighthouse.

"In order to create such an experience, we have made adequate preparations..."

Aunt Sarah, who was originally angry, looked at her face covered in tears, but raised her head and looked at Anna in the transparent dome with full of surprise. Most of her anger was dissipated. She took Anna's hand and said softly, "Actually, think about it carefully. , apart from being scared out of a cold sweat, we have nothing to lose...

"However, compared to these, I can see Anna's face, showing the expression when she just saw Ocean City in the elevator...

"I think it's still worth it."

The dream was not shattered, Anna really walked into that huge underwater world at this time.

"Maybe," Mr. Nash also shrugged, "Mr. Mayor is a childlike person."

Moonlight echoed: "Without extraordinary imagination and genius, it is impossible to create such a city in this era."

"Genius is always a little strange." Sean also said comfortably, "Although his 'welcome ceremony' was a bit over the top, it was indeed very... unforgettable."

Finding that Carmen's mood was stable, Virto's anger was almost dissipated. He stopped talking and stepped back behind Ms. Carmen.

Seeing that the emotions of this group of tourists gradually eased, the orange-haired girl said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself first.

"I'm your tour guide, you can call me Randy.

"For the first two days of arriving in Ocean City, you will all act together as a tour group.

"After visiting the Ocean City Fair tomorrow, you are free to move around the city.

"The duration of your visa is two weeks. If you need to extend it, you can go to the Ocean City Administration..."

After introducing some travel precautions, perhaps because of the friendly attitude of the tour guide Miss Randy, after experiencing the frightened people, the feeling of leisure and relaxation gradually returned.

"I have a question, Miss Randy," Detective Solomon said. "The one who was with us earlier, Mr. Christopher, can he still enter Ocean City?"

Randy shook his head, "No.

"The above-ground hotel he stayed in was a hotel built down and immersed in sea water.

"Mr. Christopher could see the lights and silhouettes of Ocean City from the room he was staying in...

"But he will be forever disqualified from being here."

Everyone was a little surprised.

Although it was Sean who guided himself into the white shell, so that he would not encounter the same tragic situation as Christopher, but due to the passive influence of Naia Shenyu, everyone unconsciously forgot this detail, just glad that their previous choice was correct.

As a detective, Solomon has a strong spirit of curiosity, and he continued to ask: "Ocean City is a tourist destination, wouldn't it be a lot less tourists?

"I mean, there should be a lot of people who choose black shells, right?"

Randy led everyone out of the elevator center~lightnovelpub.net~ and said, "Actually, everything we set up on Avalon Island is giving some positive hints.

"For example, the words on the door of the lighthouse: believe what you see.

"So, before the voting game begins, most tourists feel that they are facing a gimmick or a test.

"So, almost all groups will have a situation where most people will cast white shells that represent belief.

"Of course, there are also many groups where there are those who make themselves smart...

"Like Mr 'Smart' Christopher.

"When all come together, the interests of others are sacrificed for the sake of more.

"There are not many tourists like this - and, one of Mr Verne's intentions, was to exclude them.

"So, it doesn't have much impact on Ocean City's tourism industry.

"What's more..." Randy walked ahead with his hands behind his back, stepping out of the elevator center door first, "Ocean City doesn't need tourism to bring income, and the reason why tourism is open is just to let people continue to choose 'believe'——

"Believe in dreams."

People walk out of the elevator lobby and into those "bubbles" that are seen on the outside, connecting the building to the bottom of the building.

The gorgeous water and light rippling around, and countless underwater creatures shuttle and play in the sea illuminated by the lights.

You can see several high-rise buildings around, rushing out of bubbles, standing in the sea, and the fonts and signboards composed of neon lights glow faintly in the sea.

In the distance, the towering skyscrapers are indistinct in the water, and the silhouettes of lights are fluttering in the water...

Being in the middle is even more shocking.

For the first time, the people who looked up at all this had the same expression as Anna's.
