Chapter 3
「呀,不要!」一名男子從惡夢中驚醒。醒來後, 他發現床單和汗衫滲滿了汗水, 額頭上也佈滿了豆大般的汗粒。

他擦了擦額頭的汗水, 用指頭點了點太陽穴旁的微型晶片.一個電子介面出現在男子的視覺當中。電子介面顯示着不同的資訊,包括他的生命體徵,時間,通訊和其他程式。

這個微形晶片就像一部超小型的智能電話,而它的不同在於它連結了人的精神系统。人們只要用意念便能操控晶片。

男子在腦中想了想「時間」後,介面便出現「時間欄」了。它寫着「4:30am」。 看到這不早不晚的時間後,男子嘆了口氣,心中感嘆道自己為何總是發惡夢。

小明最近總是發着一個關给自己抬著一艘巨型戰艦往太空的惡夢。夢中的內容非常恐佈,藍色的火焰不斷燃燒著身體,太空的寒冷、窒息、壓力感成為了臨终時唯一的感覺。

小明拖着疲憊的身軀前往浴室。打開水龍頭後,熱水從蓮蓬頭落下,充刷著身體的每一寸肌膚,也洗走了身上的疲倦。沐浴後小明感覺好多了。他走出浴缸,一邊對着鏡子一邊刮著胡子。鏡中的他五官被肥腫的雙頰給壓扁,雙手和肚子都肥胖而壓出多條褶痕。

普遍人看到後都會認為他是一個死肥宅。但小明清楚他皮膚之下的可不是什麼脂肪,而是由蛋白質構成的蛋白膠原和彈性蛋白。它們擁有比脂肪更好的彈性,能夠更好的吸收傷害。

具線條感的高樓大廈樹立在地面上,霓虹燈投射全息影像高掛在半空中,載人飛行器穿梭在樓宇間。整個城市處處無不充滿賽博朋克的氣息。

除了極差的冶安,這裹的環境也同樣令人擔憂。大量的癈水和垃圾從天上掉落, 有的散落在街道上, 有的則被人們檢來凑合凑合。這些癈物不斷污染着地面,人民因此而染上不同的惡疾,大量嬰兒也因惡劣的環境而夭折。

「天空之城」是由「世界政府」所興建的, 它的原旨是透過發展半空中的空間以解决人口和土地不足問題。然而高昂的地價讓大部份人們都無法負擔, 因此久而久之這個地方便變成了富人聚落。
這些富人整天都過富足的生活,並對地面人民的苦況充耳不聞。

整個「天空之城」的底部滿佈着不同管口 , 分別往地面排放不同的廢水和垃圾。它底部的四角有着閃爍紅光的巨大重力魔法陣, 而左右端則有着兩座大型的艦隻把整個「天空之城」支撐着。

「天空之城」表面是一個大型的住宅區。住宅區上同樣有着密集的建築,但不同的是每幢建築都採用了綠化設計,建築的外牆、屋頂都鋪著經過精心剪裁的植被。

住宅之間穿梭着不同的白色碎石小徑, 當地的人民正悠哉悠哉的走在徑上。這些人大多都衣著光鮮,男俊女俏,並且不論男女都有着同款的屁股下巴。

他們是初代「天空之城」市民所延續下來的血脈,他們的家族都在漫長的歲月中累積了雄厚的家底。而這些人也因此而變得非常自傲,認為他們是這個世界的優等人類。在地面上生活的充其量只是「動物」,是為他們而生的可消耗資源。

在擁有絕對的權力與財富後,他們便放縱起來,開始順從自己的慾望,每天做着那些淫蕩苟且之事。大量變態的道具和藥物充斥在「世界之星」的每一處以滿足當地人的「需求」。

極端的慾望就是變態。有些人的慾望在長年累月的縱慾後已無法從普通的途徑滿足。為此,他們會不時從地面擄去一批人類,對他們進行慘無人道的人體改造實驗,把他們改造能滿足自己的洩慾工具。

地面世界被眾人拋棄了,然而它卻沒有因此而崩潰。一個强大的黑幫在地面世界中堀起, 它的名字叫「丐幫」。

「丐幫」把整個地面世界分成十個「管轄區」,每個轄區都由一位「地區首領」所管治。他們除了要維持所在地區的局勢外,也要定期向世界政府滙報狀況和無條件支持「丐幫」的一切計劃。
