Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

On the floating land called "Sky Garden", the miracle of creation lasted only five minutes.

After just five minutes, everything was settled.

In the garden, gentle hills were undulating, interspersed with clear rivers and gem-like lakes, covered with lush vegetation, growing wantonly but pleasing to the eye, and a wide variety of small animals roaming among them. Everywhere was full of vitality, clean and pure, like a secret place unpolluted by human beings.

On the north side of the garden, a giant tree with bright red leaves stood there leisurely. Under the lush canopy with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, there was no darkness where the sun was blocked. There, the rules of the world seemed to be rewritten. The bright sunshine violated common sense and passed through the heavy branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the grass under the tree.

——It was as if what was growing there was not a mythical giant tree that covered the sky, but a small tree that was only a few meters high and whose branches and leaves could not block all the sunlight.

On the sea surface on the west side of the huge floating land, the mighty water flow rose vertically, like an inverted waterfall, and poured into the huge lake shaped like a convex moon on the west side of the garden. It flowed through wide or narrow, bright or dark waterways, and after a period of differentiation and twists and turns, it converged into three streams of varying sizes, and fell into the sea again from the northeast, east, and south.

There were four waterfalls in total, one in reverse and three in the same direction, rumbling and spectacular.

…

Around the sky garden, on the floating platform that was rumored to belong to a company.

Frederick held a coffee cup, looking at the unquestionable miracle in the distance, and involuntarily raised his right hand, drew a familiar and almost instinctive prayer gesture on his chest, and praised devoutly:

"Praise the glory."

Not far away, Chloe accidentally couldn't help but mocked: "You use the prayer gesture of the Church of Light to praise the Glory Principle?"

"The Lord doesn't care." Frederick replied calmly, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

"..." Chloe's mouth twitched, unable to refute.

According to her understanding of the twin gods of "Glory Principle" and "Lord of Everlasting Darkness" in recent days, they really don't care at all, and one of them even dislikes the troublesome rituals made by the "familiar" believers...

- Fortunately, the one originally believed in by the Church of Light was completely fictional...

Sure enough, distance creates beauty!

...

On the other side, on a branch of the giant red maple tree in the sky garden.

Lucia's emerald green eyes glowed with a not very obvious light golden light, and she looked at the theoretically invisible and extremely spectacular "Reverse Waterfall" in the distance, looking thoughtful.

After a moment, Night Crow couldn't help but asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking," Lucia pondered, "Is this water salty or fresh? If it's salty, can the plants by the river and lake withstand the salt? If it's fresh water, what if the fish in the sea are brought up along the current?"

"..." Night Crow's mouth twitched slightly, "Your focus is really..."

The light in the black cat's eyes disappeared, and he turned his head to look at Night Crow's eyes, and said very sincerely, "Aren't these worth paying attention to?"

"...That's not it." Night Crow said helplessly, "But, with Guanghui's help, you can be more assured..."

"The part of the retrograde waterfall that goes out to the sea is only fresh water, the water quality is very good, and it's okay to drink directly. Fish, shrimp, seaweed, etc. have also been filtered out and will not be brought up by the current."

"Oh!" Lucia suddenly realized, and then asked, "Then where did the seawater components that were 'filtered' go?"

"Of course it's still In the sea." Night Crow patiently explained, "The hydrological environment of this sea area will change somewhat, but with some additional rules added by Glory as a buffer, there will be no overall impact."

Speaking of this, Night Crow paused, and then said: "After all, compared with the entire sea, this amount of water is not enough... At most, the ecology around the four waterfalls will be a little bit puzzling."

Lucia suddenly realized, nodded and said: "It's 'a little bit' puzzling that makes biologists crazy, right? Got it!"

Night Crow thought about it and retorted: "I don't think it should be crazy, after all, the 'patch' added by Glory's Principle has always been simple and clear... At least, compared with the madness of 'physicists' and 'astronomers' next year, it's completely a drizzle."

When Night Crow said this, Lucia remembered the "Great Crossing" in nearly a month, and couldn't help but imagine the scene that might happen at that time, and immediately shrank her neck in fear.

——As a bird who has taken several examsCat with a professional university diploma, although she has never been to school, she has actually read all the textbooks of the "high school" stage...

When Green Star travels through time, what will physics and astronomy become... Hiss! I dare not think about it.

Speaking of which, when was the last time Green Star traveled through time?

...

On the other side, Night Crow is already thinking about where to go... No, "recruiting" a few female employees to neutralize the overly strong yang energy of the firm.

After all, the firm is open for business. If all the employees are male, except for those without gender and gender freedom, it would be inconvenient if a female customer came to entrust some relatively private work...

Oh, there is also a transportation tool exclusively for the firm that is convenient for going out for shopping, which should also be put on the agenda...

...

The "construction" of the sky garden was completed as scheduled, and the boats and floating platforms full of spectators dispersed in an orderly manner.

As for the handover of the "Sky Garden Research Station"...

Well, Apophi will take care of it later.

Feeling at ease to throw the trouble to his capable family, Night Crow gathered new and old employees and relatives, and happily held a celebration banquet on the grass under the red maple tree.

...

After the banquet, everyone dispersed and went home...well, most of them returned to the "employee dormitory" assigned by the firm, and a small number simply stayed in the garden to learn from the red maple how to take root and how to photosynthesize.

Near the Retrograde Waterfall Lake on the west side of the Sky Garden, there is a gentle hill with an excellent view. On the gentle hill, there is a semi-open landscape building made of white stone.

Chloe finally found Night Crow and Lucia who were sitting in a row to enjoy the beautiful sunset. He hesitated and stepped forward, and hesitantly took out the resignation letter he had just written.

"That..." Chloe handed over the envelope with both hands and spoke hesitantly.

Night Crow, who had expected this, sighed inwardly, took the envelope, and nodded calmly: "Resign, right? I understand."

Chloe was stunned for a moment, and a little surprised appeared on her face.

Night Crow picked up the black cat beside him who didn't know how to react and simply remained silent, and turned her head towards Chloe:

"Lucia is also a clergyman of the Church of Light. Although she does not hold any specific position, her authority is as high as that of the Pope... You know the reason."
