There are some words that are comforting just to hear them.

Especially for those who have experienced "Nightmare: The Gallery", after seeing the tragedy of Amos, they will have a deeper feeling for Nigel's story.

I am also a painter, and I also feel the limits of my talents...... Nigel's talent is even far inferior to Amos's, but in the end, the two take completely different paths and have very different endings.

"I see......"

Annan nodded and sighed lightly.

He finally knew where that strange feeling came from.

Nigel looked into his eyes...... In other words, the way he saw Paper Ji through his eyes always made Annan feel a little familiar. It was only now that he remembered that it was the same look that Kaphne had looked at him when she first saw her.

"You're a great man, Nigel."

Annan exclaimed, "You can indeed be called a master." ”

"It's still early."

Nigel shook his head.

Although he has dedicated all his family property to Paper Ji, there is no remorse in his eyes, and he is not reluctant to give up.

There is only reason and clarity in his eyes, like a bright light.

"I'm only in my fifties, and I'm just getting started on my journey around the world. Now I want to follow the way of paper girls, and I want to pass on that love, that kindness, and that hope. That's exactly what I think now.

But I don't rule out the possibility that this idea may change in the future. Maybe after I travel to a certain city, I fall in love with it; Or maybe I fell in love with the girl there after traveling to a certain area, and the trip ended and I chose a peaceful and happy life.

"It's all possible, and I'm not going to argue with it; People change, I admit it. I will not keep repeating that ideal, using it to restrain and solidify my life...... Until the enthusiasm fades and only numbness.

"I'm not going to do that. Because that's my ideal, not my life. I'm definitely going to prioritize my life over my ideals. I might have been confused by this back then, but now I see it. ”

"But as long as I remember my current feelings, I still remember the hope that Paper Ji gave me. I think I'm going to keep going like this. ”

The middle-aged painter scratched his fluffy and somewhat messy hair and said with a smile.

Not firm, not hot-blooded. Maybe it's because I'm a little shy, and my voice is a little quieter than usual chatting, and it's not loud or sonorous at all.

But there is a convincing power in this statement.

Nigel scratched his head again, turned his gaze away and stared at the table again, his voice much quieter, "Why am I talking about this...... It's a faux pas, Your Excellency Annan. ”

He's not that shy.

But looking at Annan's almost identical appearance to Paper Hime...... There is always a kind of embarrassment like pointing to the daughter of her first love and telling the story of chasing her mother back then.

Although not directly involved, Annan is already close to the person in question - on the one hand, it will make Nigel more willing to tell hidden stories; But on the other hand, it will also make Nigel feel more ashamed.

"It's fine. I've learned a lot from you as well. ”

Annan smiled gently and comforted softly, "Thank you very much, Your Excellency Nigel. ”

This is not a polite remark, but Annan's heartfelt words.

By the time they got to this point, the underground train had already entered the deep diving level, and the windows and doors had been completely sealed.

Until this time, no new passengers came in. There were still five of them, and it seemed unusually empty.

Because between different countries, almost all of them cross the sea. If it is only a few tens of meters underground, it is impossible to cross the national border.

If the slope is too steep, there will be higher requirements for the power of the engine.

Therefore, the way the underground city takes is a downward spiral.

At the top level, that is, after the subway level has finished carrying passengers, it will rotate an arc of about 120 degrees to 180 degrees along the slope of the downward slope to further descend to the depth. After passing through the urban layer, the planting layer, and the exploration layer, you will reach the deepest layer, that is, the deep diving layer.

The deep level is completely uninhabited and cannot be reached through deep wells, and even the specific "route" is kept secret from other underground city dwellers. There is no need to carry passengers or stop halfway, and the speed of the train can be directly increased to the maximum.

The air here is also toxic to the average person. Therefore, when entering the deep diving layer, it is necessary to open the isolation barrier to completely seal the inside and outside of the carriage, which can also further increase the speed of the train without worrying about the incoming air pouring over the doors.

"I've seen it once, though."

Lin Yiyi looked out the window and muttered in a low voice: "But it's still beautiful......"

Although it is in a very deep location, there is an unexpected light here.

Certainly not sunlight, not lights.

It is a special creature that the underground world depends on...... A "light ant" created by a mysterious lady.

Light ants are similar in size to common ants. They feed on feces and dirt during their juvenile years, and when they eat a small amount of feces or a large amount of dirt, they stop eating and emit a permanent glow. The light emitted by light ants that only consume feces is pure white, and the color will vary depending on the soil they eat.

After the light ants die and decay, they become an extremely sticky colloid. When light ants and their carcasses come together, they become a sturdy gemstone called "light ant stone", which is able to emit a faint light at night.

Depending on the light color of the light ants that condense into gemstones, light ants will also form beautiful spots of different colors in strips. The Light Ant Stone itself is one of the materials for edict spells, and the Light Ant is needed by the Idol School, which is also one of the important exports of the Underworld.

In fact, the main source of light in the Underground Federation is the light ants.

In the urban and deep layers, the light ants attached to the wall have formed a good cycle - if the light ant eggs are laid at the end of the crystal wall near the air, they will starve to death; If the eggs are laid close to the soil, the ants will gnaw on the soil after hatching.

After devouring the same volume of dirt as themselves, the shimmering light ants and the outer layer of crystal shells condensed by their parents and ancestors formed a colorful sky.

Although this light is not strong...... To be compared, it is the brightness of a mobile phone screen during the day, but as a "sky dome" level of lighting, it is enough. After all, people in the underground have dim vision, and this is already quite a bright world for them. If necessary, there will also be a green fire or something else in the room to serve as a close light source.

In the planting layer, because of the need for strong light to promote the growth of crops, farmers will shovel out the eggs of light ants with something similar to a bricklayer's trowel, and then throw them into the manure and bury them to create "light ants" with strong light, sift them out, and apply them to the clay board again like caviar to make a strong light source that can last for three months.

The exploration layer is the largest area, larger than the remaining three places combined. This is the territory of the "Diggers' Council".

Not only do they have to explore for ore, but they also dig holes in the ground, dig up paleontological remains, or explore areas that are easy to live in, or easy to make lanes, or easy to grow crops. Light ants are not as convenient for them as lanterns made of green fire.

In the deepest layer, because the lane is not so high, the same light will appear extremely dazzling.

It's like traveling through a time tunnel – the speed of the train and the colourful hemispherical hedron tunnels make everything feel fantastical.

It didn't take long.

And they rushed to the bottom of the sea.
