Zhou Yun looked around this space that she was no longer familiar with with a sad face. Nameless anger and endless pain surged into her heart. She felt that this was a kind of torture, a destruction of the will and the destruction of the spirit...
She didn't understand, where was this empty and dark space? Why torture her in this way that is more painful than death?
She could still endure the physical torture, but the mental torture had brought her to the brink of collapse.
If it weren't for the little willpower she had left, she would have gone crazy.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel that she had been to this place 1,001 times!
She took a few steps back and forth, then quickly turned back...
She kept going back and forth, trying to control herself in this way not to continue thinking. The more she thought, the more confused her mind would be and she would lose her judgment!
She stopped, stood facing the wall, knelt down, closed her eyes, relaxed and concentrated... After about 5 minutes, she felt much more relaxed and slowly opened her eyes.
Suddenly, she saw a black-red blood stain in the honeycomb-shaped hexagonal groove, and she remembered that this blood stain was caused by her injury when she stabbed the wall with a dagger.
Her hand touched her calf, and the dagger was actually inserted into the scabbard. She pulled it out. To her surprise, there was no broken gap on the dagger, but there was a layer of rolled-up cracks on the tip. Obtuse angle.
She was shocked, but soon she adjusted her thoughts, and her intuition told her that in this weird space, she must stay calm enough and not think too much, otherwise she will become more and more confused!
You will also lose your correct judgment!
Zhou Yun turned around, and suddenly, she found that the rectangular "door" that could not be called a door actually opened. It drew a gap of about 50 centimeters to one side. She looked inward through the gap and found that The instrument that was previously shining with fluorescent green light lost any light.
The fluorescent green color has disappeared, and the track coordinate chart on the instrument has also disappeared.
It seems damaged.
She remembered that this instrument was damaged by another "self" with a pistol.
She adjusted her emotions, exhaled heavily, raised her steps and walked slowly towards the "door"...
"Creak!" She seemed to have stepped on something under her feet. She bent down and then raised her feet. A bullet casing was exposed. She raised her eyelids and looked at the ground in front of her. Suddenly, another bullet casing came into view. .
She was about to get up when she suddenly noticed something seemed to be next to the bullet casing. In the dim light, it seemed to be a pistol.
She took a step forward, reached out and picked it up. Sure enough, it was a gun.
She pulled out the magazine and saw that two bullets were missing.
This gun is my own sidearm.
She inserted the gun into her waist, straightened up, took one foot out, slipped through the gap sideways, and entered the "door".
Compared with the space she had just been in, this space was exactly the same in color, pattern on the wall, and even the brightness, except that it was smaller in size.
An empty and dark atmosphere.
"Are you awake?" Suddenly, a deep voice came. Zhou Yun instinctively pulled out her gun and scanned the surroundings with a pair of vigilant eyes.
This sound seems to come from a certain point in this space, but it doesn't seem to be, and it seems to come from any point.
The sound has a clear sense of surround, three-dimensional and full.
"Who? Who is talking?" Zhou Yun asked sharply.
"I, I am the one who saved your life."
"The person who saved my life?"
"Yes, I saved you after you parachuted."
"Why did you save me?"
"I saw your bravery, your fearlessness, and your willingness to sacrifice for your fellow humans."
"Am I your prisoner?" Zhou Yun asked tentatively.
"No, you are my guest for now."
"Then why did you lock me in this space?"
"This is not space, this is my body."
"What!?" Zhou Yun looked horrified. She couldn't believe this ridiculous statement, "How is this possible? Are you an object?"
"I am dark matter, a community of consciousness and matter composed of dark matter. It is something that you humans cannot understand."
"Can you understand it in simple terms for me?"
"Okay, let's use an analogy with you humans. For example, if your consciousness is separated from your body, your consciousness can be attached to any object and become yourself. Of course, it can also be that consciousness is consciousness, and matter is matter."
"Can you control any substance?" Zhou Yun asked in shock.
"For the time being...it can be understood this way for the time being, but you are only right about a small part of it."
"Buzz..." A harsh voice came. Zhou Yun turned around and found that the instrument lit up with a fluorescent green light, and the track map on it appeared again.
"I am this instrument now." A voice came out from within the instrument.
"Are you this instrument? Are you talking to me?" Zhou Yun asked with a surprised look on her face.
"Yes."
"What is this instrument? It seems to control the space I woke up in, and the space keeps repeating! Including myself!"
"It's just an ordinary light prism locking device. You can think of it as the fire control system on your planet."
"Did this instrument destroy our ships and fighter jets?"
"Yes!"
A ray of hatred passed through Zhou Yun's eyes. She clenched her gun and a chill flashed across her face: "Are you that alien irregularity?"
"I'm just a small part of it."
"A small part?" Zhou Yun looked surprised, "How do you understand?"
"Like the shooters and cannons on your ships."
"Weapon system?"
"That's understandable."
A trace of hatred flashed across Zhou Yun's face, and her eyebrows were cold and solemn: "Can you appear in your own body instead of this cold machine, so that we can communicate more easily."
"Okay! But, it's not my true body, because you can't see my true body, in a way that you can understand."
"Squeak..." The fluorescent green light on the instrument disappeared.
"Where are you?" Zhou Yun looked around.
"I'm right in front of you."
"But I can't see you at all?"
"Because I'm made of dark matter, of course you can't see me."
"Then how can I see you?"
"Whoosh!" A white light lit up in front of Zhou Yun, like a blazing lightning, fast and dazzling.
After the white light passed, a humanoid creature wearing a silver-gray jumpsuit appeared in front of her. The "creature" had limbs and a head, but no face, giving people a terrifying and weird feeling.
"Can you see me now? In your human form." The humanoid creature said.
Zhou Yun stared at him silently, with a surprised look on her face: "Is this silver-gray jumpsuit on your body your space suit?"
"Haha..." The humanoid creature let out a faint laugh, "No, it's just a layer of metal 0.005 nanometers thick. It's the metal in your world, just so that you can see me."
"So are you in there?"
"It can be understood that way, but for you humans, you can't see anything! Because it is dark matter, a material composition that is completely different from your world, so from your perspective, it is hollow inside."
"Bang!" A clear gunshot sounded, and Zhou Yun's eyes flashed fiercely. She pulled the trigger, and a bullet ejected from the barrel of the gun and flew towards the humanoid creature.
"Bang..." The bullet instantly exploded into powder 2 meters away from the humanoid creature and disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Yun looked horrified and retreated lonely to the instrument. There was no way to retreat, but she still maintained the shooting posture. Although she understood that no matter how many bullets she fired, it would be useless, but even if she died, she still had to do it. Keep the last bit of glory.
That is the will to fight.
The humanoid creature didn't seem to be angry. Although no expression could be seen on his face, he never made a gesture of counterattack.
Maybe to him, humans are just a bunch of bugs without any threat, and the gun in Zhou Yun's hand is just an itchy thing, not even a nuisance!
He flicked his hand in the air, and a screen similar to a magnifying glass was displayed in front of Zhou Yun. Inside the screen was a pile of tiny powders flying in the air...
He touched it again, and the powder turned into a huge and infinite cloud of atoms and electrons. He touched it again, and the cloud of atoms and electrons turned into a bunch of disorderly, flying bowstring-like things.
Zhou Yun's face was serious and astonished. She stared blankly at the bowstring-like thing that was constantly flying and vibrating on the screen...
"What are they?" she asked in shock.
"string!"
"string?"
"Yes!" The humanoid creature nodded, "Your world is made up of it, each insignificant string."
After he finished speaking, he pulled his hand inward, and the gun in Zhou Yun's hand flew into the air. "Click!" The magazine detached from the gun body, and the two bullets hovered in the air.
He stretched out his other hand and aimed at the two bullets in the air, "Whoosh!" Two emerald green light prisms hit them, and soon, one and a half of the two bullets turned into a frame , then becomes an outline, until it disappears completely.
"Dang!" Only about one-fifth of the bullets remained, and they fell to the ground.
The humanoid creature lowered its hand slowly: "Including the two bullets you fired at the instrument before, plus the bullet you fired just now, you have consumed a total of a portion of matter in the form of light and heat, of which Part of it entered the space we are in, and in order to maintain the overall balance of light and dark matter, I had to program 1.7179013 times the bullets in it."
"Programmed?" Zhou Yun said, a trace of doubt flashing across her face. She recalled the quantum entanglement that appeared in the MR image reconstruction system she cooperated with Liu Hanyang, which was also the conversation between her and her father.
According to Liu Hanyang, his father, Colonel Zhou Hengxiang, was programmed by an alien irregularity.
"Is the programming you are talking about the utopian programmed society you have constructed?" Zhou Yun asked.
"Yes!" The humanoid creature nodded.
"Why do you do this?"
"I just said that because you have consumed a part of the matter, in order to maintain the balance of the overall light and dark matter in the universe, we can only do this!"
"Bring my father back!" Zhou Yun's voice trembled, but her commanding tone was mixed with prayer.
"It's not up to me to decide, I'm just a humble shooter."
"Is my father the string you just mentioned, or a code?"
"Part of the body became a string and stayed in your material world. The other part escaped into our world in the form of dark matter, and the complete consciousness became a string of codes."
"Why should consciousness be turned into a string of codes?" Zhou Yun asked feebly.
"We have built a beautiful world for you, a world where your civilization can continue."
Zhou Yun felt a biting chill coming from behind. Although she did not fully understand what he meant, it was creepy in itself to divide a complete person into three different parts and in three different worlds. .
It was even more unacceptable than death.
This alien irregularity from the depths of the universe is simply terrifying!
"What will you do with me?" Zhou Yun asked coldly, her eyes slightly focused.
"I will consider... consider turning you into a pile of disordered strings. This is because I have the greatest respect for you."
