Chapter 276 The Girl in the Crystal Column
When Tilan woke up from the immersive simulation image again, it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Because she missed lunch, she felt a little hungry.
She climbed up from the immersion cabin and jumped out lightly. She stepped on the quiet viewing hall. She looked around. She was the only one in the huge viewing cabin. It seemed that this library was not open to the public. It was estimated that only new singers would come here to learn and experience.
Shaking her head, which was a little dazed, her consciousness quickly woke up from the world a thousand years ago, and then walked out of the viewing hall.
The ground was a little hot under the dazzling afternoon sun. Walking on the sky corridor, she raised her hands lightly, like walking on a single-plank bridge. After playing like this for more than ten meters, she suddenly realized that this was a bit childish, and then she put her arms back and looked around.
At this time, it was estimated that most of the government agency employees were at work. There were not many people walking outside, and this sky corridor was even quieter.
Akaxia was still in a meeting and would not get off work for another 2 hours. During this time, Tilan could move freely.
Walking in the interlaced corridors of this tall building, you can overlook and look at the scenery of the planet.
The circular dam building, like a giant barrier, stands on the ground. There are about 800 floors. The upper part of the building is floating with clouds and mist. It is extremely majestic. From time to time, you can see the starships landing and taking off. In the blue sky, the white starships and the flowing clouds are accompanied by each other.
This building alone occupies nearly 100 million square meters. The straight and towering dark gold walls and the outer layer of glass that refracts light are like a sea of glass with no end, which makes people dizzy.
After overlooking and walking for a distance on the top floor, looking at the sun in the distance that is still emitting heat and beauty, Tilan decided to find an elevator to go down and get some ice cream first.
Sitting in the micro shuttle, passing through layers of buildings and aerial tracks, Tilan came to the familiar square again.
"Excuse me, what would you like to eat? Here are freshly prepared ice creams of various flavors." A big sister with chestnut hair stood in the store. She was wearing a light brown uniform, an apron, glasses, and a smiling face.
"It's little Tilan. You came here alone today." Seeing the girl standing in front of the store, she clapped her hands and smiled.
The girl's eyes swept over the menu, and there were too many dishes that made her not know what to choose.
"One serving of pomegranate emerald stone ice cream." Her fingertips finally stopped at an option.
"Okay, wait a moment." She tapped the instrument behind her, and an ice cream cone fell, and then the white and green spiral cream was automatically poured. Then the chestnut-haired big sister took out a small cup to take out the peeled pomegranate seeds, mixed them with emerald green square ice cubes, and then sprinkled them on the ice cream cone.
"Here~"
"Thank you." The girl took the ice cream, touched it with the tip of her tongue, and tasted it in small sips.
"Would you like to sit here for a while, little Tilan?" The chestnut-haired big sister pointed to the horizontal chair under the awning of the store next to her.
"Yeah." The girl sat down holding the cone, and then the idle clerk next to her started talking to her.
"Isn't Akaxia with Tilan today?"
"She has a meeting today and is quite busy." The girl didn't care much about it. She was not a child anymore and she had to have someone to accompany her.
"Is that so? I thought a singer should be surrounded by many people, but I didn't expect that she was the only one to accompany you to study."
"Too many people will make it messy. I don't like it." The girl shook her head. Akaxia had asked her if she wanted to find a few more people, but she refused.
"Tilan is very opinionated." The clerk next to her praised.
"You have your own opinion..." The girl paused for a moment while eating her ice cream, then continued.
To be honest, she was not a person with her own opinion before, and she always found it difficult to refuse other people's kindness or requests.
Because of this, her sister Themisia was angry at her for not fighting back, and the two of them had a small conflict.
Now she has gradually gotten used to it, perhaps because she has become stronger, she has become more confident and calm, and can calmly say what she doesn't like and hates, and can also relax her heart and do things that she wanted to do but didn't dare to do in the past.
The change is really fast, she thought silently in her heart, and she was slightly excited, but Tilan was not the kind of person who liked to show her emotions. In the eyes of others, perhaps her brows were just more relaxed and generous.
The clerk on the side was chattering about the little things in the Flower Crown Star Region, and occasionally Tilan would respond a few words. The two chatted like this until four o'clock in the afternoon, when Acacia came to the square.
"Sorry, I kept Tilan waiting for a long time." She walked over at a slightly faster pace and waved to the girl who was still sitting under the awning.
"Akashia is off work." The chestnut-haired sister in the store also greeted her. After all, she was Akashia's senior.
"Good afternoon, Sister Olga." It turned out that the chestnut-haired sister who made ice cream was called Olga. The girl remembered it in her heart.
After the three of them sat and chatted in the ice cream shop for a while, Akashia took Tilan to the museum in the Crown Star Region, where many items and simulated dolls from the Fifth Age were preserved.
Walking in the quiet and tidy hall, the crystal columns with lights gathered attracted the girl's attention. There were figures in these crystal columns. They were almost exactly the same as humans, with beautiful appearances, but their body parts were different. Some had wings on their backs, some had condensed gems between their eyebrows, some had a few silver ice scales on their shoulders, and some had long tails.
"These are all new races that were once active in the Fifth Age." Akashia introduced to Tilan.
"Their total number once surpassed that of normal humans, and they lived densely in the world."
The two walked past crystal pillars one by one, and finally stopped in front of a pale gold crystal pillar. The frozen figure inside had a beautiful appearance, with light gold transparent cicada wings on its back and a glowing ring on its head, just like an angel in mythology.
"This is a doll made in the image of Oshikasha. Is it as beautiful as what we saw in history?" Akashia introduced to Tilan. The angel with open wings stood still with closed eyes, as if she was sleeping, not dead.
"Yes." Tilan nodded slightly, but she could not feel any remnants of consciousness and soul. After all, such a doll was just a simulation of Oshikasha's appearance, not the real favored one.
"Is there still such a race now?" Tilan couldn't help asking.
"No, Tilan."
"Do you still remember the Federation's definition of human?"
"Residents who were born legally in the country and have received primary education."
"All new races born in the Fifth Era are considered illegal, and such genetic modification and transformation are absolutely prohibited in the future. Even if it is a normal person, if he does not grow up in a normal environment in the Federation, he will not be recognized as a human being."
"Such laws were established to target everything that happened in the Fifth Era."
"This is the greatest respect we, as the winners, have for the loser."
