Chapter 348: Warmhearted Feiying (3)
In the southern area of the Mechanical City, buildings made of steel and glass reflect a cold light under the sun.
The streets are neat and orderly, and each route is arranged according to strict geometric patterns, reflecting the precision and rationality of the city.
Everything here follows strict order and rules; even the air is filled with the humming sound of machinery.
At this moment.
A team of puppet soldiers is on routine patrol.
Their movements were precise and unified, the intervals between their steps were accurate to the millimeter, and their routes were without any deviation as if they were carefully programmed.
These puppet soldiers look very similar to humans.
But there was no emotion in his eyes, only a cold, mechanical light.
As they turned a corner and happened to pass a small intersection, they suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in the middle of the road.
She was a woman wearing a white robe and a mechanical crown. Her posture was elegant and noble, and she exuded a majesty that could not be violated.
The puppet soldier immediately stopped, and a preset expression of respect appeared on his mechanized face.
They bowed to the figure at the same time, their movements in unison, as if they had practiced it countless times.
"Good afternoon, respected Lord of All Things, may the light of reason always guide your path."
One of the puppet soldiers said in a standard and emotionless voice:
"Excuse me, are you here to handle some related tasks? Do you need our help?"
Their voices were like the sound of metal rubbing against each other, with a strange rhythm, and every syllable was precise to an unsettling degree.
And at this moment.
Jasmine nodded expressionlessly, appearing neither friendly nor indifferent, as if she was executing a programmed response.
Her eyes swept over the two puppet soldiers, cold and sharp, as if assessing their value and function.
"Continue your patrol."
Jasmine's voice was like ice cubes colliding with each other, cold and clear:
"I am here only for a private inspection and do not require any assistance."
After receiving the order, the puppet soldier bowed again and then returned to his original patrol status.
They did not ask any questions nor show any curiosity, but just mechanically carried out the tasks assigned to them.
They bypassed Jasmine and continued along their planned route, soon disappearing around the next corner.
After confirming that the puppet soldiers had left, Jasmine quickly looked around to make sure there were no other surveillance equipment or patrol units.
then.
She quickly walked to a nearby trash can and gently knocked on the lid, making a series of rhythmic knocking sounds, as if it was some kind of secret code.
As the last knock fell, the lid of the trash can lifted slightly, revealing a small gap.
Then, a face full of vigilance popped out from the gap.
"Stop looking, he's gone."
There was a subtle hint of impatience in Jasmine's voice:
"The patrol cycle in this area is fifteen minutes. We still have enough time."
Hearing what Jasmine said, Feiying breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the lid of the trash can, and climbed out.
There was some dust and stains on her clothes, and her hair was a little messy, but the determination in her eyes had not diminished at all.
“It felt so dangerous!”
Feiying brushed off the dust on her body and whispered:
"I thought they were going to find me."
"This trash can is too small. I really don't like it. I almost suffocated to death in it."
She took a deep breath of fresh air and turned to Jasmine, her eyes full of thought and uncertainty.
"Jasmine, you said that we both have entered the dream. Is it possible that the twin fairies have also entered the dream?"
There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in Feiying's voice:
"And then, they are here too?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to learn more about the secrets of this dream if we find them?"
When Jasmine heard this question, her expression became more serious, and a complicated light flashed in her eyes.
She thought for a moment, then replied in a precise and rational tone:
"From a probability perspective, if we can enter the dream world, then the twin fairies should have the same ability."
"In fact, considering their special nature, this is most likely their dream."
Jasmine's tone was calm and analytical:
"But the specific situation can only be confirmed after we meet them."
“Theoretical speculation is never as good as practical verification.”
"Let's go."
Jasmine said simply, turning and pointing to a tall tower not far away:
"Their address is in the sky garden above. We can go up by taking the elevator."
"According to the information I found in the system, that is an exclusive area for twin fairies, and usually few people would disturb them."
Feiying followed Jasmine's instructions and followed her towards the tall tower.
But when they were about to reach the elevator, Feiying suddenly stopped and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
“Can you scan it?”
There was obvious nervousness in Feiying's voice:
"I mean, there should be an identification system in this kind of high-level area, right? If my identity is discovered, will it be troublesome?"
Jasmine was a little surprised to hear this question.
"When did you become so alert? This is not like you, Feiying."
Feiying touched her head and said with a smile:
"After stepping into so many traps, you have to be more careful, right?"
"Don't worry, worrying is unnecessary."
Jasmine was a little speechless, but she still patiently explained:
"Although I only have the identity of the Lord of All Machines now, and I don't have all the authority of the Lord of All Machines, it doesn't mean that I can't crack this simple authority."
"I had already familiarized myself with the system of the Mechanical City before I came here, so even in my dreams, I could find its loopholes and weaknesses."
As she spoke, Jasmine walked to the elevator panel and tapped her fingers quickly on the control panel, entering a series of complex codes.
at the same time.
Jasmine's eyes also gleamed.
Soon, the lights on the elevator panel flickered a few times.
Then the light turned green and the elevator door opened.
"Look,"
There was a hint of pride in Jasmine's tone:
"Problem solved. This elevator is now in maintenance mode and will not record our actions or report to the central system."
Feiying looked at Jasmine in surprise, her eyes full of admiration.
"awesome!"
Feiying sincerely praised, "As expected of Jasmine, she can even crack the system in the dream."
The two quickly entered the elevator and Jasmine pressed the button for the top floor.
The elevator rose smoothly and at an astonishingly fast speed, making it almost imperceptible that it was moving.
Through the transparent windows on the elevator wall, you can see the panoramic view of the mechanical city gradually unfolding at your feet.
The intricate buildings, the precisely arranged road networks, the energy towers flashing with cold light, and the countless busy moving dots are the residents and work units of this city.
After just a few dozen seconds, the elevator stopped and the door slid open silently, revealing a completely different world.
This is the sky garden, completely different from the cold steel mechanical city below.
The place is full of greenery, flowers are in full bloom, and the air is filled with the faint scent of flowers and soil.
The sunlight shines through the translucent dome, forming patches of warm light.
Jasmine and Feiying walked out of the elevator. Jasmine quickly checked the device in her hand to confirm the direction.
"This way."
Jasmine pointed to a path deep in the garden:
"According to records, the twin fairies' residence is in the center of the garden. There is a special crystal pavilion there that was built specifically for them."
As the two walked along the path, the plants around them became more and more exotic and beautiful.
Some of the flowers appear to be carved from crystal and shimmer with rainbow colors in the sunlight.
The leaves of some trees have a metallic texture, yet retain the softness and vitality that plants should have.
This is a wonderful world that combines nature and machinery, full of a dreamlike feeling beyond reality.
Finally, they came to the center of the garden.
A translucent crystal pavilion stood there, surrounded by a circle of strange flowers that sparkled with a faint light.
Half of the flowers are pure white, exuding the breath of life.
The other half is as black as ink, with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.
"This is it..."
Jasmine whispered, pausing, "The residence of the twin fairies."
The twin fairies' residence glows with crystal light in the sunlight.
The crystal pavilion is like a fine work of art, every edge and corner has been carefully polished and every detail is perfect.
The flowers around the pavilion sway in the wind, and the black and white petals complement each other, creating a peculiar balance and harmony.
This sky garden is not as cold and rule-filled as the mechanical city below.
Instead, it retains the casualness and vitality of nature, while incorporating the precision and perfection of machinery.
Each plant seems to be given life, each flower is unique, yet harmoniously integrated into the overall environment.
The air was filled with a faint floral scent, purer and richer than any garden on earth.
Jasmine stood in front of the crystal pavilion and was about to say something, such as how to approach the twin fairies, or how to greet them.
After all, it's rude to intrude on someone's personal space, even in a dream.
At this moment, Feiying suddenly reached out and pulled the corner of Jasmine's clothes, interrupting her thoughts.
There was a gleam of excitement in Feiying's eyes. She pointed in a distant direction, with a hint of surprise and eagerness in her voice.
"Jasmine, look over there!"
Although Feiying lowered her voice, she still couldn't hide her excitement:
"There's someone there!"
Jasmine looked in the direction of Feiying's finger and frowned slightly.
On the other side of the garden, there is a tranquil lake. The water is crystal clear and reflects the blue sky, sparkling like a huge mirror.
The lakeside is dotted with exquisite stone benches and elegant sculptures, forming a quiet resting area.
At this moment, a girl with long blue hair was sitting on a smooth stone by the lake.
She was wearing a blue fishtail dress, the hem of which fluttered gently, as if ripples in the water extended to the shore.
Her white legs sank into the water, gently paddling on the surface of the water, stirring up tiny ripples.
The sunlight shone through the dome onto her body, giving her a golden halo and making her look like a fairy walking out of a painting.
