Pan Tianyi was lying on the spacious and soft hospital bed and slowly opened his hazy eyes. He looked around the clean and bright room and found a beautiful and fairy girl sitting beside the bed, looking at him blankly.
"Brother Yi, you finally woke up!" Ah Jiu was wearing a white slim-fitting leather coat, and her dark and bright eyes instantly revealed a hint of joy.
"Who are you...where am I?"
Pan Tianyi was wearing a white hospital gown and stood tremblingly beside the bed. He couldn't help but stare at the girl with waist-length hair. Scenes of familiar memories slowly emerged in his mind. Time was like an editor, editing the relevant information. Her identifying information was cropped out. He rubbed his temples and couldn't remember her name.
"I am your Ah Jiu. You are now in the year 2060, the third dimensional era of the earth. We have built the Oriental Super Cube, which is a future city on the sea!"
Ah Jiu gently took his arm and walked slowly to a huge floor-to-ceiling window. Through the window, you could see the giant cube building and the endless sea: "When you reduce your dimension to the human world, your body and consciousness need time to slow down." Slow recovery, your memory is still in a period of confusion, and you need to recover slowly before you can remember your past more than 40 years ago."
"You are Ah Jiu...then who am I?" Pan Tianyi said to himself as he habitually stood in the sun.
He looked through the window at the high sky where the clouds were floating, as if he saw the Pisces Building of Shanghai Metropolis North Station again. At some time, he poked his temple with his finger, seeming to remember the identity of the girl standing next to him: "I want to Get up, you are the three-dimensional clone of Princess Mauliya, Ah Jiu!"
"Giggle...you finally remembered!"
Ah Jiu looked at Pan Tianyi, nodded heavily, her holy and flawless face showed a happy smile, and a drop of crystal clear tears overflowed from the corner of her eyes, "I am your friend Ah Jiu, we created this together. An island city, a giant cube that can accommodate the world!"
The warm sea breeze passed through the bay window and began to lift Ah Jiu's long hair around her ears, dancing in the air.
"We...this place seems to be a huge dream. We passed through layer after layer of giant cubes..."
Pan Tianyi murmured to himself, feeling a little dazed. He walked out of the room out of habit, leaving Ah Jiu alone to watch his back disappear.
Outside the door of the ward, two security robots stood. Their faces were covered with a layer of delicate regenerable skin. Only the temples on both sides of their foreheads were shining with bright halos. After receiving the instructions from the hostess, they Followed quietly behind Pan Tianyi.
After passing through a curved corridor, Pan Tianyi took the skyscraper elevator and began to row towards the ground.
On the surface where the sun shines directly, there are densely packed high-rise buildings, and several silver-gray maglev trains draw graceful arcs in the sky like long snakes, then quickly pass through the dense white clouds, and finally disappear between the sea and the sky.
Pan Tianyi walked alone on the city streets shrouded in huge shadows. Apart from the constant flow of driverless cars, he could rarely see the shadows of people around him. He walked out of the shadow of the Klein building, feeling the hot summer sunshine, and slowly walked towards the outer city streets. In the various parks and squares on the streets, more and more residents began to appear around him.
Not long after, Pan Tianyi came to the coast of the city and saw a wide overpass stretching into the distance of the sea.
At this time, a group of ragged humans appeared on the bridge. After many hardships, they set off from all over the world and finally arrived at the Oriental Super Cube. Under the escort of a team of robots, they were preparing to go to the Rubik's Cube Academy in this city.
Pan Tianyi stood in the crowd, watching them leave here one by one, and then continued to move forward.
Living in a strange era, but walking on a street that was once similar, he walked aimlessly under the overpass and stopped in front of a huge stone pier. He looked at the vast sea around him and began to taste the world. Give him a real touch.
Hiss—hiss—
A bridge pier not far away made the sound of cement being scratched. Pan Tianyi seemed to be awakened by the persistent noise. He walked over and saw a little boy with dark red skin.
, standing under a wide pillar, using his mechanical right hand to draw colorful graffiti on the cement wall. Behind the little boy stood a smaller blond girl.
When Pan Tianyi appeared in front of them, the little boy seemed to be frightened. His metal-like fingers stayed in the air and stopped his painting creation. Then he turned around and pulled the little girl up, trying to escape from this place that once belonged to them. paradise.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just passing by!" Pan Tianyi looked at the little boy who was about to run away and explained quickly.
The little boy looked at his elder brother who had a clean face and was wearing a white hospital gown, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Brother, in the super giant cube, you are also a new upper-class person from outside the city, right?"
"Why do you think so?"
Pan Tianyi watched the little boy return to the original pillar and continue painting his unfinished Klein bottle building. The shock caused by outsiders completely disappeared from his face.
"Because I am also new to the Cube. People who can enter here are either of prominent status or loyal believers who have been rescued by the main god/religion." The little boy picked up the colored pen on the ground and continued to draw on the pillars. "From our position, looking into the city, we can see the Klein Building in the city center, and looking out of the city, we can see the endless sea, haha..." The little boy was very happy. laugh it out.
"Oh, I'm new here. I'm really lucky!" Pan Tian breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the long overpass that stretched to the horizon of the sea. There were too many people in the distance blocked by robots. Next, they set up a simple tent and waited excruciatingly to enter the cuboid.
"What are you drawing? You are so imaginative!" Pan Tianyi looked at the Klein Bottle Building on the cement wall. The high sky was filled with stars that looked like eyes.
"What I drew is the building where the main god/religion is located. Look at that giant Klein bottle!"
Golden sunlight passed through the gaps in the overpass and illuminated the graffiti on the bridge piers. The believers on the ground faced the building, as if they were holding a kneeling ceremony. After finishing graffiti, the little boy stretched out his right arm glowing with metallic light, pointed at the Klein skyscraper in the distance, and shouted.
Pan Tianyi raised his head and looked at the Klein bottle building in the center of the giant cube. It was bathed in golden sunlight, and its white quartz stone exterior walls reflected crystal clear brilliance around it. This building was where he came from. This place has become a very sacred temple in the eyes of the little boy.
"Wow, look, the holographic image of that beautiful sister has appeared on the front of the building again, seeming to be looking at us!" The blond girl hiding behind the little boy looked at the sky in the city center, dancing in surprise. Call out.
Pan Tianyi didn't show too much joy to this giant cube on the sea like them. The long-lasting emotions in his heart were always bothering him, but he couldn't remember what he was looking for.
"Children, where are you from, and why do you appear in the tesseract?" Pantian turned his attention to the little boy's mechanical prosthetic limb, full of confusion. ..
"I'm from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, she's from Pacific Australia!"
The little boy held the little girl's hand and looked at the concrete floor with lost eyes. "I am an original resident of southern Tibet. Because of the territorial war, my father was killed by the Indian enemy. My mother took me to the other side of the refugee flow." Fleeing in the opposite direction, crossing the Greater Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, after going through untold hardships, we finally arrived at the Oriental Supercuboid!"
The little boy looked at the Klein Building in the distance, and the afterglow of the setting sun bloomed with a determined red light in his eyes: "It was 'she' who saved us all and gave us a place for our souls to live!" "
"Is it Ah Jiu?" Pan Tianyi turned to look at the Klein Bottle Building, and saw the image of a graceful girl flashing in the hazy sky. She scattered soft white light to the surrounding tall buildings.
"Brother, she is the main god in our hearts and the most beautiful sister in the world!" The little Australian girl blinked her big bright eyes, revealing a lovely face like an angel.
In a tsunami, the little girl was rescued by the "Blue" monitor of the Lord God* Cult. Unfortunately, her parents and other companions were swallowed by the sea water, and the entire Australian continent was also divided into several parts by the Pacific Ocean. A fragmented archipelago.
"child,
You are all God’s darlings. I hope you have enough courage to face the future of mankind! "
Pan Tianyi looked at them and suddenly thought that the melting of the polar glaciers was causing the global sea level to rise, causing the land areas of various continents to continue to shrink, which would bring about a great racial rift and continuous regional wars for mankind.
He looked at the aerospace ladder in the western sky. Two more aerospace rockets were drawing parabolic orbits, piercing the low-Earth orbit where satellites flickered. He looked at the little boy and girl with soft eyes, full of kindness. Said: "Children, it's getting dark, you should go back to the city quickly!"
"Brother, where did you come from and where are you going?" The little boy saw that Pan Tianyi was about to turn around and leave, so he stepped forward and grabbed Pan Tianyi's white hospital gown, with a hint of worry on his rosy face.
Pantian turned around and looked at the little boy under him and thought for a long time, "Where do I come from and where am I going?"
"Haha, you look like a homeless idiot. Why don't you come back to the Cube Academy with us, where we can meet the "Red" Supervisor, maybe she can help you more!"
The little boy pointed at the melon seeds on his head and began to laugh at the stupid Pan Tianyi. Suddenly he suppressed his laughter, looked at his forehead with his right hand, and confessed: "I am not pious enough, I shouldn't Making fun of people with low intelligence!".
Under the illumination of the street lamp, the little girl looked at the serious little boy and deliberately made faces, making everyone start laughing. The little boy began to chase the little girl, and they quickly disappeared deep into the tall building.
"Is she the red monitor you are talking about?" Pan Tianyi followed them, walking quickly through the neon-filled streets, and occasionally looking up at the virtual figures in the night sky.
"You're right. If it weren't for Chi, my mother and I would have died in the riots outside the city."
The little boy stopped in front of a store with flashing neon lights. He stretched out his right arm reflecting the metallic luster into the air, "Look at my mechanical prosthesis. One day, too many refugees gathered on the overpass outside the city. In order to get a chance to enter the city, some people planned a refugee massacre. My right arm was hit by a bullet. Later, my mother held the injured me and begged the Red Supervisor to save me, so Chi I took my mother into the giant cuboid city and spent 100,000 r coins to connect me with a mechanical right arm for free."
"Are you still adaptable to this set of prosthetics? Are there any adverse reactions?" Pan Tianyi looked at the little boy clenching his iron fist and asked with concern.
"Haha, you just came in from outside the city, and you still know too little about the tesseract!"
