The Incredible Girl
The sky was gradually starting to darken.
On the street, the streetlights began to turn on.
The lights between the buildings began to illuminate.
In this day and age, the night has long been conquered by humankind, and the darkness of metropolises has been driven away by lights, making the Battle City look like a magnificent starry sky floating on water, dotted with stars, exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
However, even in such a water city, there are still places where the light doesn't reach.
In one of the corners of this place, Fang Li looked around, somewhat speechless.
Where am I?
Yes.
Fang Li got lost.
On the way back to Jielong.
After the concert, Fang Li and Zhao Hufeng walked together, intending to return directly to the academy.
However, halfway there, the car that Sylvia was supposedly riding in passed by on the road, causing a riot among the fans. A group of fans who had just come out of the concert venue burst into cheers and crowded past.
As a result, Fang Li was squeezed into a persimmon shape in the Fang Li, eventually losing his sense of direction and almost unable to catch his breath.
Under these circumstances, Fang Li finally found a small alleyway nearby, pushed through the crowd, and rushed in, thus escaping the throng of people.
But this was the beginning of the tragedy.
Unable to find his way out of the alley, Fang Li could only walk back and forth along the dimly lit path, trying to find his way out.
In this way, Fang Li wouldn't be able to get lost even if he didn't.
After all, since arriving in this world, Fang Li has been training in the Huangchen Hall. He only asked Fan Xinglu for leave today to go out for a stroll. After being involved in this incident, how could he not get lost?
"But Senior Brother Zhao seemed to rush out with the crowd, completely ignoring me."
Fang Li sighed and took his phone out of his pocket.
Although it's called a mobile phone, what Fang Li actually has is just a small terminal, about the size of his palm.
This is what mobile phones are like in this world.
In today's world, the use and application of image transmission is no longer a difficult thing. Even a small terminal carried with you can function as a mobile phone.
For experienced users, even with the phone close to their body in their pocket, they can use gestures to summon a screen-like spatial window, and like in a game, manipulate the spatial window to achieve communication and information retrieval.
Fang Li wasn't quite used to using the cell phones in this world, so he would often subconsciously take out his phone while using it, only to realize that this step was completely unnecessary, and couldn't help but smile wryly.
However, this did expose the pendant on Fang Li's phone.
Those are Sylvia Runeheim merchandise.
The pendant itself is a cartoonish songstress.
Because Zhao Hufeng was a fan of Sylvia, he bought a lot of merchandise. Fang Li, only bought a pendant as a token gesture at Zhao Hufeng's urging and tied it to his phone.
Holding this phone, Fang Li raised his hand.
The next moment, a window popped up in the space in front of the Fang Li.
Fang Li opened the map, checked it, and then helplessly discovered...
"Did I actually end up in the redevelopment zone?"
The so-called redevelopment zone refers to the ruined areas located in remote parts of the Battle City.
Because this area has not been redeveloped, part of it has become a complete slum. Students who can't make it in the academy for various reasons, as well as criminals who have escaped into Asterisk from outside, almost all hide here, making it a dangerous gray area.
Therefore, Fang Li was surrounded by dark ruins formed by abandoned buildings, making even the signal here somewhat chaotic, meaning communication was impossible and maps were unreliable.
Not to mention, Fang Li doesn't even know who he's communicating with.
"I don't have a single contact in my phone right now..." Fang Li rubbed his temples.
"It seems the only option is to jump up and take a look."
Just as Fang Li was muttering to Fang Li, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that complicated. This isn't the deepest part of the development zone. It's not difficult to get out of here."
This is a very pleasant sound.
As such a sound rang out, a figure emerged from the side of an abandoned building and came into Fang Li's view.
She was a very young-looking girl.
The girl seemed to be around the same age as Fang Li. She was wearing very ordinary jeans and a loose blouse, and a hat that covered half of her face, making it difficult to see her true appearance. Only her long chestnut hair flowed gracefully down her back, giving her an overall impression of being incredibly simple.
However, this incredibly simple girl possessed an incredible voice. The moment she spoke, she immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, making the atmosphere around her somewhat mysterious.
The young girl smiled slightly and asked Fang Li, "Do you need help?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Li looked at the simple girl who had half her face hidden under her hat and Fang Li with some surprise.
"Um, you are...?"
"I'm not a suspicious person, you know?" the girl said playfully, and walked towards Fang Li, saying, "Although girls who wander around in the redevelopment zone don't look like decent people, please trust me."
She is clearly an extremely simple girl, but not only does she have a very beautiful voice, she also seems to have a natural ability to completely control the rhythm.
When this girl came to Fang Li's side, she immediately saw Fang Li's phone.
No, to be more precise, it should be said that I saw the pendant on Fang Li's phone.
Looking at the cartoon version of Sylvia on the pendant, the girl blinked and said as if suddenly realizing something, "Did you just go to a concert nearby and then get lost and end up here?"
"I guess so." Although Fang Li felt a little uncomfortable with the girl's overly familiar manner, he still nodded and said, "Are you one of them?"
"I guess so." The girl gave the exact same answer as Fang Li, and said with a hint of amusement, "In that case, I can't just leave you here."
Fang Li asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Because I have to take responsibility," the girl said with a smile, seemingly quite pleased. "Anyway, you'll just be with me..."
Before she could finish speaking, the girl stopped.
Fang Li raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and said, "Looks like we can't leave for now."
Then, figures began to gather around from the surrounding abandoned buildings.
