Skyrise buildings passed by as Lin Fang sat in a pod staring at the sci-fi scene.
Massive holograms floated above the ground, constantly flashing with countless announcements.
"France Mattock goes against Joanne Battick in the monthly robot fight club, get your tickets now or never have the chance to visit."
.
"Hello, guys. It's Buggy, The Clown, come to my fun house. We have all sorts of toys to make your day… great again."
Lin Fang shifts his head and looks to another sign that said
(A rapid spike in the deaths of Jamar community members and a face mask at the scene of their deaths)
The screen then changed to a face mask with a mustache and a smiling face.
"It beautiful, isn't it?" The woman said starting up a conversation.
Lin Fang then removed his gaze and looked at the woman and asked, "Where are we?"
"Hmm," the woman asked confused.
"Like, where are we now?" Lin clarified with his face in dread.
"We are in… Ecumenotopolis, District 234." The woman said, with the pod curving sideways.
"Oh, yeah, District 234… Ecumenotopolis, I knew that already, but I just didn't remember it." Said Lin, tapping his forehead in understanding.
"So, what's yours?" The woman said with a smile as she turned to look at him.
"What's my what?" Lin said while squinting his eyes and bending slightly forward. The sound from the outside slowly gets quieter.
"Your municipality!" She said with deep focus as she studied his facial expressions with an indescribable expression in her eyes.
"I Don't know," said Lin carelessly, not knowing the implications of what he just uttered.
"Wait, why don't you know? Are you perhaps a spy?" The woman then looked at Lin Fang in caution as a vague killing intent saturated the pod.
"Oh, I am lost! I am not from around here! I have no Il- what are you doing?" Lin quickly made up with sweat dripping down as he internally screamed. "Crap, Crap, Crap!"
"Sure, I hope you won't mind if I ask you more questions under a… different environment?"
She slowly put her hand on her baton, but Lin reacted and held her hand, both of them now stared close into each other's eyes and their bodies pressing together.
"You have beauti-"
Lin Fang was saying as he got kicked back to the other side.
Lin quickly crossed his hands and cast some hand signs in front of him, causing a shield to form. The next instant, the woman sliced the baton across the air, making an energy wave fly across the enclosed space, hitting Lin.
[Boom!]
The force blew Lin out of the pod and the momentum made him fly backward into the spatial highway.
"Rogar, Ragar, we gave an illegal person, armed and dangerous, I repeat armed and dangerous!" Said the woman, on an object imbedded in her hand.
Multiple pods crossed by Lin as he flew through the air.
{Thought acceleration}
Lin willed with his mana as he reacted to a pod, moving to him at Mach speeds, instantly evading out of the way with his hands shaking as his eyes darted everywhere.
[Voom!]
[Voom!]
[Voom!]
[Voom!]
Lin fang constantly evaded the pods from hitting him with just his paranormal reflexes.
[Voom…!]
He barely dodged a blue streaking object that flew past him, causing him to see his reflection that was filled with pure fear.
As he flew across the air, he noticed that he was about to hit a row of flying machines.
"Shut, stop, stop, stop-"
Lin then reacted and entered a gap between them as a cubical object flew past the bridge of his nose.
"I dodged that!"
Lin did not have time to appreciate his work as he headed toward a weird oval-shaped building with rings around it.
Barriers appeared at the heels of Lion's legs while he braced for impact.
A part of the rooftop shattered like grass, and he bounced off it, somersaulting in the air while he made more barriers to protect his body.
[𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓!]
[𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓!]
[𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓!]
[𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓!]
[𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓!]
Multiple glass-like building materials floated in the air as Lin slowly grabbed one.
With one last impact, he slowed down, eventually coming to a full halt, and he landed in a sitting position.
"I need a break."
Lin said to no one in particular before lying back down on the roof and placing the glass-like substance that seemed to be on the same color spectrum as a rainbow.
"If I was in my old… 'Old' world, I could make a fortune out of this!" Said Lin before putting it in his pocket.
"I need to gather information on this world," Lin thought as he slowly stood up, this incident made him aware of just how dangerous a lack of information can be on a different site, "But how?"
He thought before staring at the edge of the residence he was upon and had a bright idea.
"Do I have to do that?"
With his eyes closed in annoyance, he caved.
Lin then walked to the edge of the building and looked at the slidable surface.
"I need to get down there!" Lin then walked around the spot as he thought, "Hmm, that idea could work… and I can't stay here for long or that…'cop' will come back after me."
Well… here goes nothing," he slowly said as he ran back, reaching the opposite sides of the building.
"Breath!"
He then walked forward with steady steps
And time seemed to slow down for a couple of minutes as he jogged.
With a leap, Lin jumped off the building with a gold-white protective shield at the bottom of his legs.
Lin slid across the edge of the building, constantly zigzagging across with unrestrained glee and pinpoint focus.
The sizzing sound of the barrier grinding against the ground sounded while slowly decreasing.
"It is now!" Lin Fang thought as he lowered his body weight.
[Shatter!]
The shield broke and immediately, Lin jumped off right before him, stood a massive ring structure.
Lin landed in a superhero pose, He then slowly raised his head and looked forward as he proceeded to resume his dash.
He soared in the sky like a bird as he looked down.
A shift in position made his head face down, reducing wind resistance and causing his descent to hasten.
He passed by the window at rapid speeds, compelling a few workers in the building to shift their gaze from whatever they were doing.
"Almost!"
Lin thought as he braced himself.
"Wait?"
Lin felt something off and instantly went into a ball shape.
𝘝𝘰𝘰𝘮!
A white pod passed by him, and from the edge of his eye, he saw the 'policewoman'. Luckily she didn't notice him.
A few meters off the ground, he made his hands come in front of him with his eyes glowing.
[hummmm!]
Magical energy spread from his hand, acting as a repulsor that slowed his descent, making him float in the air.
He then released a grunt and stopped the mana output while releasing a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"That was-"
"So cool." a young blue child said in amazement with his eyes opened as he held a floating object while looking at Lin.
Lin smiled and patted him on his shoulder and passed by him while looking at the city.
"Well, here goes nothing."
He said as he walked forward.
