2023, a certain day in October.
This was before the rules of the tesseract arrived.
There is scarlet all around here.
In Lao Jiang's field of vision, two versions of young Jiang Zhe appeared in the crowded room, and both of them were drowsy due to being teleported just now.
There is a dividing line between the two versions of young Jiang Zhe, which only he can see, as if the World Cup is divided into two parts.
Lao Jiang turned his head. There was nothing around him, and he couldn't see the dividing line between him.
"If nothing else, since I entered this starting point, the world has divided me into two myself."
"And I have no way of seeing myself in another parallel world."
"Let nature take its course!"
He had never experienced this scene in his previous life and could not give a definite answer.
Then Lao Jiang from the two worlds opened the doors one behind the other.
【World 1】——
[Lao Jiang chose to enter one of the doors, the 'wrong front door' or 'back door', and then waited there for his younger self to arrive, preparing to tell young Jiang Zhe "the last time"]
(Ps: This is Lao Jiang from the current perspective all the time)
【World 2】——
[Lao Jiang chose to enter the correct front door, but it was empty]
(Ps: This is Lao Jiang in the original main world, that is, young Jiang Zhe did not meet the future world of Lao Jiang wearing a white suit, but saw a sentence left in the room)
And this scene is happening at the same time from the audience's perspective.
The scene is divided into two halves, and Lao Jiang's actions are both different.
"so amazing!"
"I really want to know what will happen to the front door that the two Lao Jiang thought they opened."
"This scene must be recorded!"
"..."
within the expert group.
As Lao Zhao watched this scene, he thought of a physicist who had passed away. He once said in the conference room that once a parallel world is created, there will be no intersection between the two worlds.
.......
【World 2】——
This room is pure white and full of technology.
Lao Jiang waited here for a while, not waiting for his younger self.
He made a decision that went against his heart.
Because when he entered the starting room just now, he saw his young self in two worlds.
Not surprisingly, two middle-aged and elderly versions of myself also appeared just now.
Then he took off his black cloak and put on his white suit.
But I don't know what it was, but somehow, he didn't stay where he was.
Instead, he took out a pool of blood from his backpack, walked to the center and wrote a sentence on the ground - [I can't get out, I can only rely on you]
[If there is one person in the world who is destined to get out, it will definitely not be me now, but you! 】
Looking at this scene, Lao Jiang thought for a while, realized something was wrong, and decided to erase the second sentence.
Lao Jiang stood up, took out the same numbers as the masked corpses in this room from his backpack, arranged them, and opened the front door.
In the third room.
This is the anti-gravity room.
As soon as he entered, the whole person floated in the air.
Lao Jiang swam forward in the air and wrote the second sentence in his heart:
[Choose the second direction in your heart and don’t go forward]
After leaving these words, Lao Jiang struggled for a moment and was ready to die.
"My mission ends here!"
Finally, he floated in the weightless air, took out a new black pistol from his backpack, and pressed it against his right temple.
Gradually, he closed his eyes and prepared to end his life.
At this time, the audience was all trying to save him.
"Damn it, why did you commit suicide?"
"Don't die, Lao Jiang!"
"30 years have passed, why is the key to death here?"
"No!"
"..."
All the experts couldn't help their Adam's apple twitching and stood up one after another.
Although Lao Jiang couldn't hear it, they still prayed in their hearts - a miracle would happen!
Suddenly!
Just when Lao Jiang was about to pull the trigger...
A strong arm instantly grasped the pistol in his hand, and then snatched it away.
"Didn't I tell you not to follow me?" Lao Jiang turned around in surprise, only to find an angry old Peter yelling, "In order to follow the time, you even risked your life. Why don't you follow me and watch you commit suicide?"
"No matter how it ends, we still have a chance."
"The big deal is, don't go out. Just find a parallel world metropolis and find a way to survive in a corner of the parallel world. Isn't it easy for you to let people in that world see our existence? If you have to think about it now, If you commit suicide, your efforts before committing suicide will be in vain. Are you worthy of Lao Jiang who has just stepped into another door? He also told his former self the 'last' news!"
Looking at Lao Jiang with trembling eyes, Old Peter scolded him mercilessly.
"Don't contradict me."
"I know a place to retire, over there in Florida."
"Find a woman you like. Then our two families will be neighbors and the children will be playmates."
"I have also figured it out. Since I came to the hypercube, it proves that this is my fate and it is inevitable for me. Since it is unavoidable, I can only let nature take its course."
"You have the courage to die, so why don't you have the courage to live?"
Listening to the endless words of advice from old Pete.
These are all actions gained from the experience of old Pete surviving alone for 30 years.
Lao Jiang was ready to end his life 30 years ago.
Because he once saw his future self and said "This is your last and penultimate time".
Because the current version of him is not his last, the life before that is worthless to the version of himself that can get out of the hypercube.
My own existence is just to let the next younger version of myself get out alive!
Fortunately, just now, Old Pete guided him to a new way forward——[Hope]
a long time.
Lao Jiang finally showed a relieved smile.
"Thanks!"
Finally he left here with old Pete.
Seeing this scene, the audience kept making comments.
"I was shocked, but luckily I didn't die!"
"Old Pete is still the best!"
"So this is what happened after Jiang Zhe chose to enter the room with increasingly smaller numbers?"
"Is it something that happened in another parallel world?"
"Yes, we didn't see everything in this world before."
"..."
While the audience was talking.
In the screen, the younger versions of Jiang Zhe and Peter walked in.
Lao Jiang and Old Pete have left the room, so the old version and the younger version of themselves have not met.
Young Jiang Zhe looked at Xia Guozi in the distance, tilted his head and read out: "'Choose the second direction in your heart, and don't go forward.'"
After reading the book, young Peter on the side decided to give a warning: "Remember, Jiang Zhe, Rule 9 said, 'Here, when you meet your future self, remember, you are already dead, and nothing they say can be trusted. ', although we haven't seen our future selves, the other person left words for you, which means you have met the future."
"I know." Young Jiang Zhe thought for a while, "Our group can't pass the test."
"What?"
"Rule 11 says, 'When you are about to finish the level, please go back in time and kill the person who just entered the cube before you can return to reality. If you meet your future self when you first come to the cube, please open your arms to welcome death'"
Young Jiang Zhe analyzed: "I am certain that this rule is correct, but when we just crossed the first room and arrived at the second room, we did not meet anyone from the future, which means that we did not find the correct way to pass the level in the future. direction."
"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused. Isn't the core our destination? As long as we find the core, we can find the exit?" Young Peter couldn't understand.
At this time, young Jiang Zhe suddenly realized something, "No, from here on, we are no longer people in the main world!"
"What's the meaning?"
"We seemed to have walked around behind the masked man just now, then walked directly forward to line up the corpses and open what we thought was the 'front door', right?"
Hearing this, young Peter frowned, "It seems... yes, and then what?"
Seeing young Peter's shocked expression, young Jiang Zhe said: "But don't be afraid. Although our group can't pass the test, we will get out, trust me!"
"My last question -" Young Pete asked with a frown.
"you say."
"The numbers are getting smaller and smaller. Can we only reach the core of the hypercube by opening the door forward?"
Hearing this, young Jiang Zhe asked with confusion: "Who told you that the numbers are getting smaller and smaller and can only be reached by moving forward?"
"When you open the door backward, the numbers get bigger and bigger, but when it reaches a limit, the number there is also the smallest, and you can also meet the core of the hypercube!"
"As you open the door to the left, the numbers will get bigger and bigger, but eventually there will be a limit value, and the number there will be the smallest. You can also meet the core of the hypercube!"
Listening to the explanation from Jiang Zhe, young Peter suddenly realized, "Listen to what you said, can we go out safe and sound?"
The corners of young Jiang Zhe's mouth twitched slightly, "That's natural, because the road ahead has already been paved by us in the future. In less than 6 hours, we can end this strange story of time and space."
As the scene ended, the audience all felt their scalps numb.
Because the audience suddenly discovered——
them...
It seems that he has never been from the [Main World]!
