The sky had gradually darkened.
On the streets, the streetlights began to illuminate.
Between the buildings, lights shone brightly.
In this modern era, the night had long been conquered by humanity, banishing darkness with a sea of lights, making Asterisk City look like a magnificent starry sky floating on water, with countless stars glowing looking incredibly pleasing to the eye.
However, even in Asterisk city, there were still places untouched by the light.
In one corner of such a place, Fang Li surveyed his surroundings, somewhat at a loss.
“Where am I?”
Yes.
Fang Li was lost.
It happened on the way back to Jie Long Seventh Institute.
After the concert ended, Fang Li and Zhao Hufeng walked together, planning to return directly to the academy.
However, halfway there, Sylvia’s limousine, it was said, passed by the road, inciting a riot among the fans. A group of fans who had just come out of the concert venue erupted into cheers and rushed over.
As a result, Fang Li was naturally squeezed into a pancake in the crowd, and he almost couldn’t catch his breath, let alone discern the direction.
In this situation, Fang Li finally managed to find a small alley nearby, pushed his way in, and escaped from the crowd.
However, this marked the beginning of his tragedy.
Entering the narrow alley, Fang Li couldn’t find a way out, so he could only walk along the dim path, attempting to find his way out of the alley.
As a result, even if Fang Li hadn’t gotten lost before, he would have now.
After all, since coming to this world, Fang Li had been training at the Yellow Dragon Temple all the time, and it was only today that he asked for leave from Fan Xinglu to go out for a walk. Then, he got caught up in this mess. Could he not get lost?
“Unfortunately, Senior Brother Zhao seems to have followed the crowd and gone out, completely ignoring me.”
Fang Li sighed and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
It was called a cell phone, but what appeared in Fang Li’s hand was just a palm-sized terminal.
This was the cell phone of this world.
In the current era, the use and application of image transmission are no longer difficult, and even a small terminal carried around like this could function as a cell phone.
For those who were more proficient, even if they placed their cell phone in their pockets, they could summon a screen-like space window through actions, just like in a game. They could communicate and retrieve information by manipulating the space window.
Fang Li wasn’t very accustomed to using the cell phones of this world, so he often unconsciously took out the cell phone like this when using it, and then realized that this step was completely unnecessary, which made him smile bitterly.
However, this inadvertently exposed Fang Li’s cell phone pendant.
It was Sylvia-Lyyneheym’s merchandise.
The pendant itself was a cartoonized Diva.
Because Zhao Hufeng was a fan of Sylvia, he bought a large number of merchandise, while Fang Li, at Zhao Hufeng’s urging, only symbolically bought a pendant and attached it to his cell phone.
Holding the cell phone like this, Fang Li raised his hand.
The next moment, a window flickered in front of Fang Li.
Fang Li opened the map, checked it, and then helplessly realized.
“Did I actually end up in the Redevelopment District?”
The so-called Redevelopment District refers to a remote and desolate area in Asterisk City.
As this place had not been redeveloped, it had turned into a slum in some parts. Students who couldn’t fit into the academy for various reasons and criminals who had entered Asterisk from the outside all hid there, making it a dangerous gray area.
So, all around Fang Li were dim ruins formed by abandoned buildings. This place even had somewhat scrambled signals, making communication impossible, and the maps were somewhat unreliable.
Moreover, Fang Li didn’t even know who to contact.
“My cell phone’s contact list is currently empty…” Fang Li rubbed his temples.
“It looks like I’ll have to climb to a high place to get a better look.”
Just as Fang Li was whispering to himself, a voice suddenly sounded.
“In fact, there’s no need to be so troublesome. This isn’t the deepest part of the Redevelopment District. If you want to get out, it’s not that difficult.”
It was a very pleasant voice.
With the sound, a figure emerged from the side of one of the abandoned buildings next to Fang Li and entered his field of vision.
It was a young girl who appeared to be about the same age as Fang Li. She was dressed in ordinary jeans and a loose hoodie, wearing a cap that concealed half her face. It was hard to see her true appearance, but her long chestnut hair flowed elegantly behind her, and her overall demeanor was extremely plain.
However, this extraordinarily simple girl possessed an unbelievable voice. The moment she spoke, she would immediately become the center of attention in the entire venue, shrouding the atmosphere around her with a hint of mystery.
With a faint smile, this girl said to Fang Li, “Do you need help?”
Hearing this, Fang Li, looking at this girl who hid half her face under her cap, was somewhat astonished.
“Um, you are…”
“I’m not a suspicious person, you know?” The girl said playfully and walked towards Fang Li. “Although girls wandering around the Redevelopment District don’t look like decent folks, please believe me.”
She was clearly an extraordinarily plain girl, but not only did her voice sound wonderful, but she also seemed to have a natural talent for controlling rhythm.
When this girl came to Fang Li’s side, she immediately noticed Fang Li’s cell phone.
No, to be more precise, she noticed the pendant on Fang Li’s cell phone.
Looking at the cartoon version of Sylvia on the pendant, the girl blinked her eyes and said, as if suddenly realizing, “Could it be that you just went to see the nearby concert and got lost here?”
“That’s about right.” Fang Li, although feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the girl’s familiarity, nodded. “Are you in the same situation?”
“That’s about right.” The girl gave an answer that was exactly the same as Fang Li’s, somewhat mischievously. “Since that’s the case, I can’t just leave you alone.”
Fang Li immediately felt puzzled. “Why?”
“Because I have to take responsibility,” the girl seemed very cheerful and said with a smile. “Anyway, you should follow me…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the girl stopped.
Fang Li raised his eyebrow and shrugged, saying, “It looks like we can’t leave for now.”
Just then, figures began to surround them from the abandoned buildings in the vicinity.
