The taxi drove deeper and deeper.

The surrounding scenes are getting weirder.

There are ruins on both sides. From the outside, you can vaguely see a trace of civilization.

Lu Xiao looked at those tall buildings in a daze.

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

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

After hearing what Lu Xiao said, the driver also reacted.

"Damn it, if you don't tell me I haven't thought of it yet."

"Isn't this just an office building?"

Dante held her chin and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Coming in all the way from the outside, 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 are in the center of the city.”

Lu Xiao groaned and asked the driver.

"Do you see where this is?"

-

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

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

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

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

Lu Xiao nodded.

"Yes, I remember the mirror once said."

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

"And the two of us are from recent centuries."

The driver was speechless.

"But this is a dark prison. It has nothing to do with our era, right?"

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

"Mirror, where in my world is this?"

He thought this in his mind, and then the voice of the Mirror of Omniscience 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.

The Mirror of Omniscient answered this question immediately after swallowing the fingernail.

"The answer is: Shanghai."

Lu Xiao's heart skipped a beat when he heard the answer from the Omniscient Mirror.

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

The driver immediately asked.

"How is it? What does the respected Mirror of All Knowledge say?"

Lu Xiao's expression was a little strange.

His voice had a slight tremor.

"The mirror said, this is Shanghai."

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

His eyes gradually became dull.

Dante asked doubtfully.

"Shanghai, is this a city?"

He had never heard of this place name.

Lu Xiao's tone was heavy.

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

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

In an instant, a shocked expression appeared on Dante's face.

After a while, he said in a deep voice.

"This must be a coincidence, right?"

Lu Xiao shook his head.

"If it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence."

As he said that, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked at Dante and asked.

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

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

Dante shook his head dully.

"No documentation remains about the Cataclysm."

"Even the best archaeologists don't know what happened in the Cataclysm Era."

"It's as if that history never existed."

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

"A few people firmly believe that the Era of Catastrophe does exist."

new

"And most people think that Era of Cataclysm is a scam."

"But as documents from earlier periods were unearthed, the existence of the Catastrophic Era was confirmed."

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

"It's just confirmed that it exists, but you don't know what happened, right?"

Dante nodded.

“History was my favorite subject when I was in school.”

"There is nothing recorded in the book about the Catastrophic Era. Even the information about the recent ancient era is very little, only a few sentences."

"On the contrary, there is relatively more content during the Medieval Era."

"Our teacher speculated at the time that perhaps the human civilization in the recent ancient era had preserved the cultural relics from before the Middle Ages very well, and this was why they were passed down."

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

"There is nothing representative left."

Lu Xiao looked at Dante, his eyes constantly changing.

“So how was the Innovation Century established?”

Dante thought about it carefully.

“According to textbook records, the century of innovation was built on a wasteland.”

"Our earliest ancestors started a civilization on that 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 the development of agricultural civilization to technological civilization in my era?"

"Thousands of years."

"But it only took your ancestors thirty years to leapfrog industrial civilization and reach technological civilization."

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

"Besides, the mirror once said that I am a person from recent centuries."

Dante was stunned for a moment, and then a chill shot straight 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 hiding history?"

"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's 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!"
