Someone once said that Chongqing is the most cyberpunk city in China (cyberpunk is a branch of science fiction). I raised my hands and feet in agreement.
A very common architectural feature in cyberpunk cities is strong three-dimensionality, with various aerial tracks and sidewalks between the buildings. The city is usually rainy and gloomy.
is in this city full of contradictions and yet harmonious. It seems that the performance of all magical plots is reasonable and doubly true.
