Text / Emerald embroidered birds
As a "stay-at-home charger" (a fan of two-dimensional offline activities), the week after each event is always difficult, not to mention that there are two Fridays this week.
In the past few days, I always feel as if something has fallen in Shanghai, at the venue of the Ark Carnival of Tomorrow, and at the venue of synesthesia. It's like turning into a mysterious giraffe that can talk, repeating the words of "encore" in its mouth, and looping through its brain about those days.
So now, I choose to turn the time back to the May Day holiday.
1 Eh, to the four-leaf clover again? Really?
Uh, now it's ...... At 8 a.m. on May 3, I was standing on the subway to Xujingdong, and my destination was the National Convention and Exhibition Center, commonly known as "four-leaf clover".
Sometimes I have to sigh at the magic of fate, thinking about the same path last year or going to CP29, but this time there is no CP, and there is the Ark Carnival of Tomorrow.
As soon as I stepped into the subway car, I felt a strong "boat smell" - many people had "Ark of Tomorrow" millet on their bags!
A girl suddenly patted my backpack, I turned my head, only to see that she took out a small card with "Mr. Kan's Investment Class" written on it and handed it to me, saying, "Doctor, please use no material." ”
I understood, it turned out that the carnival had begun.
If there is any difference between this year's carnival and last year's, I think in addition to the obvious change of venue and bigger venues, the key is to have more and more fun mini-games.
The most popular is the exhibition area of Yanguo, where there is a training ground in Chongyue, and the gameplay is similar to a ring-style audio game, which is a small game that tests reactions.
Next door, the Victorian Pavilion features their iconic product: the Steam Knight. After the Doctors work together to complete a whack-a-mole-like mini-game, they can activate the Steam Knight. (Really spews steam)
Personally, I feel that the most fun is Casimir's knight competition, which is a 5v5 "dance machine" competition. Of course, friendship comes first, competition is second, and the fun is not about winning or losing, just watching everyone scramble on the grid already has the effect of the show.
In addition, "Ark of Tomorrow: The End" also appeared at this carnival, and its popularity is not inferior to other exhibition areas, and I only have one sentence: I can't play "The End", I seem to have an active stone worm crawling on my body.
That's right, this is the sarcophagus we have been lying in
If you really don't know which one to watch and which to play first, you might as well open Today's Order on the Carnival Mini Program. I was on the 3rd, and the commission for the day was to take pictures on the Silver Heart Lake train.
There are a lot of people who take the commission
This train is more than just an ornament, as soon as you step into the carriage, you will find that the window is a broadcast of the scenery of Sherag, and the carriage is also gently swaying to simulate driving.
In addition to this game hall full of local characteristics, there is also a "spin-off hall" with a smaller flow of people waiting for the doctors to visit.
Why do I say "visit"? Because the "Ark of Tomorrow History Corridor" has been built here, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a museum.
From the initial starting point of the "Dark Ages" to today's "Beacon of Mercy"; From the first sidestory "Cavalry and Hunters" to the recent "Tower of Babel", which is full of information, here is a record of the main story and activities of "Ark of Tomorrow" over the past five years.
Of course, the most popular "Crisis Contract" series of difficult tasks, they will not forget, the display wall is full of etching stamps of each crisis contract, these are the proof of the doctors' fighting.
The official exhibition is interesting, but it depends on the players in terms of revitalization.
Wandering around the carnival venue, you can see more than one Marenna gathering energy, and Margaret on the side also leans over to peek at the newspaper in her uncle's hand:
When I turned around, I saw that the sisters of the Sui family's "happy family" were surrounded by doctors to take pictures, and I quickly seized the opportunity to leave a precious image of the sisters who were not in conflict.
But the most explosive job of the day had to be Hedley's proposal to Ines. Ah, don't get me wrong, it's Hedley's coser proposing to Ines's coser.
Many onlookers took out Longmen coins and stuffed them into the two, and the cosers of Trasis and Theresia, the two leaders of Sakaz, also rushed to give their blessings to the two when they heard the news.
Too much in line with the original
Hedley and Ines, who have always been praised by players as "parental love", became a reality at this moment.
The game was good, and the whole work was good, but I was almost exhausted.
2 Tearful rhythm scene
Closing your eyes is still the scene of the carnival, and when you open your eyes, you are ...... Ten o'clock in the morning?! It's bad, I made an appointment with relatives and friends to eat together at noon, and I'm going to be late.
Since the venue of Synesthesia is some distance from the city, it is better to go there as early as possible based on past experience, and I don't want to repeat the mistake of stepping on the spot last year.
The weather in Shanghai was not beautiful on this day, and the drizzle fell intermittently for a day, but while waiting in line, Eagle Corner thoughtfully prepared portable raincoats, as well as sandwich bread and bottled water for the doctors. (The bread is quite delicious)
It was cloudy all day
It's been a long time since I've been to a large-scale live, and the noisy atmosphere in the venue seems a little unfamiliar, or maybe it's because of the cloudy sky outside, which makes me feel that this time the synesthesia is particularly lively.
The headlights went out, the light rods lit up, the melodious violin sounded, and Amiya appeared on the screen in front of her, and the rhythmic synesthesia began.
This year's synesthesia has made a more detailed division in the repertoire arrangement, with each country or region as the theme, and selected its representative repertoire to perform, and the first one to appear is Letania, the country of music.
The classical orchestral music begins with a rhythmic modern electronic sound in the middle section, which vividly shows Arturo's deviance.
After leaving Letania, I was greeted by the solemn and mighty Usas army, accompanied by the melody of "Chernobog's Rapid March", and the actors on the stage stepped together, making me feel as if I had strayed into the scene of the Usas army parade.

The army retreated, and we came to the star-studded Colombia.
Last year's anniversary event, Lone Star, would be considered by most players to be one of the best stories of Ark of Tomorrow, even if you talk about it now. Of course, there is also the OST of "Lone Star".
Although I had already heard that there was a piece of "Lone Star" in this synesthesia, when I actually heard it in the venue, the huge emotions still swept over me and overwhelmed me.
Control's Wishes,塞壬唱片-MSR
"Ad astra" and "Wish" worked seamlessly, and the screen of the stage slowly opened, and I saw it - rockets.
In an instant, the countdown of the audience in unison overshadowed the original countdown of "The Wish of the Governor", the passionate strings sounded, the rockets rose into the air together, and the audience erupted into an exclamation.
I don't know how to describe the mood at that time, was it excitement? Is it shocking? I felt like I was back in the first time I watched the launch site of Shenzhou 5 on TV when I was a child, and I felt like stepping into the cornfield of "Interstellar". Later, I found out that this feeling was the same as watching the part of "Oppenheimer" where the atomic bomb was tested.
And so, the tears fell uncontrollably.
Damn, I didn't mean to cry.
At the end of the song, I looked up as if I saw thousands of stars.
Good night, Terra.
Bidding farewell to Colombia, we are again to Cazdel, where the war continues; Then Kelsey walked by like a walker, and I knew it was her own walk in the dust.
As soon as the style of painting changed, the familiar national style tune sounded, and it turned out that we had reached the great flame.
Actually, I'm a fan of national style, and the most anticipated plot is the annual New Year's event, and the most anticipated operator is also the annual beast. Although "The Man in the Picture" is the first plot in my heart, it does not prevent me from loving other New Year's plots.
So when I heard this familiar tune, I blurted out, "Set the storm!" ”
After walking through the great heat, the snowstorm quietly descended, but fortunately, we have the Silver Heart Lake train.
However, after the train arrives at the station, the wind and snow do not stop, and the picture turns, and it is the mysterious and dangerous Sammy who is also covered in ice and snow.
After cracking the prophecy of the Cyclops and escaping from the demons, we arrive in Iberia, where the undercurrent is surging.
We resisted the erosion of the sea heirs, lit the beacon of Iberia, and the tide receded, leaving behind the "Sea Wish" of the water moon.
The King of Advancement shatters the silence with a warhammer in hand, and a small animation with the theme of "The Relic King" heats up the atmosphere again.
Then, another force of Victoria took the lead - Deep Pond.
The sound of the Irish whistle takes us back to the plot of "Follow Me with Fire", on the big screen, orange and purple flame flowers are staggered and falling, and the two twin red dragons who have mastered the power of life and death are destined to have a battle.
A burst of modern rock sounded, and it turned out to be my long-awaited "Lord of the Wolves".
"Syracus" is a semi-anniversary event the year before last, and although the difficulty of the boss Zaro is very low, it leaves us with a rousing rock track "Lord of Wolves".
Lord of the Wolves, Siren Records - MSR
You drive me insane
Hit hard
A broken wall
Hit hard I gave it all
Hit hard a family tie oh
The audience sang in unison like crazy.
I knew the song was burning, but I didn't expect it to be so burning, but I was cool.
It's not over yet, and there are masters next-
This is Casimir, the land of knights, and this is the arena of knights' tournaments! That's right, Radiant it's coming!
You thought you left me here for dead dead dead dead
……
Praying I'd turn around instead hey hey hey
……
The audience was ignited again, and it was a chorus in unison. Boom, I'm so excited!
The happy times always pass quickly, and the synesthesia gradually comes to an end, but the big one is always behind.
Starset Band debuts with the impression song "Monster" from the PV1 of "Ark of Tomorrow".
Monster ,Starset
Luckily, my voice can still make a sound, otherwise I wouldn't have had any fun.
As if to say goodbye to us, Starset chose Telescope as the final track. However, the audience is still unsatisfied.
Encore!Encore!Encore!呼唤返场的声音此起彼伏。
After a brief shady hiatus, Starset is back! It's the encore link!
It exploded, it exploded, the stage was roaring, the audience was roaring, as if it was going to burn out all the passion.
Because we know that's the last madness.
The final drum beat fell, the lights of the venue came on, and a chorus of "damedane" pulled me back from my trance, and it turned out that the synesthesia was really over, and I felt like I was in a dream.
3 See you next year
On the subway on the way back, I was chatting with my relatives and friends about all kinds of thoughts about tonight's music, and suddenly she said, "Wait a minute, are we sitting in reverse?" I looked up, and the end of the line was written "Xinzhuang".
It turned out that we were so engaged in talking that we took the opposite bus when we were changing trains and sat back down.
"Maybe we want to go back and do synesthesia again." I said it slowly.
The subway on the way back happens to pass through Xujiahui, so why not go and see the exhibition advertisement set up by "Tomorrow's Ark" this year.
It's already 11 o'clock in the evening, but there are still a lot of players in the Xujiahui subway station who are carrying carnival and music bags, but I am not qualified to say that people, last year I also visited the thatched house in order to see these exhibition advertisements.
Event posters, character posters, materials and models of the meat pigeon collection jointly turned the entire Xujiahui subway station into a museum of "Tomorrow's Ark".
Too many to pick a few to put on
I chatted with my friends and family about the characters and activities on these posters, and before I knew it, half an hour later, the tourists gradually dispersed, and the photos on my phone gradually increased.
Although the subway is about to stop, we are still walking and chatting unhurriedly, unwilling to leave, unwilling to accept the end of the day.
"I'm going to work again."
"yes, I'm going to work when I get back."
There was a long silence.
I remembered being outside the music arena in the afternoon, hugging the four of my family and friends. We met, got to know each other, and met because of "Tomorrow's Ark", but China is so big, and everyone is scattered in different cities, how easy is it to meet each other?
Therefore, the annual "Ark of Tomorrow" anniversary offline event has become an appointment for us to meet.
But there is no indispersible feast in the world, and the separation at this time is for a better gathering in the future.
I didn't say goodbye, I said I'll see you next year.
