Climbing the stairs was not too crowded at first, but by the last ten floors, there were more and more "fellow travelers".
Also because it was too crowded, Angel passively learned a piece of trivia - the total length of the corridors outside each floor.
Because there is more than one staircase on each floor of the ring fort, since there are many people on this staircase, change it to another. In the process of going around and looking for new stairs, Angel passively knew the length of each floor of the outer corridor: about three to five kilometers.
The outer corridor is already this long, and there are countless rooms and shops in the corridor. There are not only a few with Qiankun inside, and the effective area will be even larger.
And this is just one layer.
The currently known main station of the ring fort has seven thousand floors.
Just thinking about it, you know how huge the ringed fort is. It is worthy of being the headquarters of the Jingmu clan and a true architectural wonder!
Of course, during the entire march, the feeling of lamenting the hugeness of the ring fort was only a small part. Angel spent more time lamenting the large number of people on each floor.
For example, now, they have arrived at the 5495th floor, and have been walking in the outer corridor for almost five minutes, looking for more than ten stairs in a row. Every one of them is so crowded that they can't even squeeze through any gaps.
Enough to see the number of people.
There were a lot of people on the stairs, and there were also a lot of people in the aisles. At first glance, they were all crowded. Angel even thought about finding a shop to rest for a while and letting Luigi go to Pilusiu's station alone to add pages, but thinking about the Eye of Thunder and Pilusiu's various technological inventions, He still endured it.
It took them half an hour to get from the 5495th floor to the 5500th floor.
Angel thought that reaching the 5500th floor would mean he had survived the most difficult moment, but he was still too naive. As soon as he reached the 5500 floor, Angel saw a long queue.
After asking a random person in line, he confirmed that the end of the line was where Pilusiu was stationed.
Looking at the endless queue, which went from a clear field of vision directly into the misty clouds and smoke, coupled with the flashing neon lights of the surrounding shops, Angel felt a sense of cyberpunk fatigue.
Not to mention Angel, even Laplace frowned.
It’s okay to climb the stairs and be crowded. The queue is so long now. I don’t know how long it will take. Laplace doesn’t want to waste time here.
Her eyes went to Luigi.
Luigi raised his hand knowingly: "You guys find a place to rest first, and I'll go over and take a look. If we can contact the Pika Sage, we shouldn't have to queue up."
Without waiting for a reply, Luigi quickly got into the dense crowd and disappeared.
Laplace and Angel came to a nearby shop called "Pi Ruanruan".
This is a tooth dyeing shop. Except for a dejected red-skinned Lu Xiu, there is no one inside. It is completely different from the crowded atmosphere outside. If you think about it, you will know that the tooth dyeing trend is only popular among Pi Lu Xiu. It may still be popular in Pippi Castle, but if you bring a tooth dyeing shop to a multi-ethnic gathering, how can you possibly attract customers?
Who would dislike the color of their teeth?
As for why Angel and Laplace came to this store, firstly it was because there were few people, and secondly because the sign said there was drink service.
They are not here to get their teeth stained, but to take a break from the drink service.
The shop owner, that is, the red-skinned Lu Xiu, when he learned that they did not dye their teeth, the corners of his mouth dropped, obviously very unhappy. However, when he saw the crystal that Angel handed over, his smile rose again.
Although the crystals are not much, it is enough to pay for the drinks. As for Angel and Laplace taking a break in the store, it doesn't matter to Piluxiu. Anyway, there is no one in the store now, so their presence should be regarded as a boost of popularity.
For this reason, the store owner specially brought them to a position near the window, and they could see the long queue outside through the glass.
People outside can also see them drinking leisurely inside.
By creating contrast and contrast, to attract popularity... I have to say, this Pilu Xiu is still
Someone with some brains.
However, it is just a little clever. If you were really smart, you wouldn't open the tooth dyeing shop here from Pippi Castle.
Pilusiu's little calculation was very good, but it was a pity that he met Angel.
Angel doesn't like to be looked at as a "scenery".
He just snapped his fingers and arranged a small illusion on the glass.
Looking out from inside, the view is not affected. But when I looked in from the outside, I could see nothing but pure white wallpaper.
The shop owner didn't see anything wrong; he brought the drinks, then returned to the counter and stared out the window without saying a word.
Angel took a sip of the drink with the unknown packaging... It was a useless drink, not bad but not good either.
It's enough for quenching thirst.
But it is not cost-effective to exchange Wu Ningjing for such a bottle of thirst-quenching water.
However, it doesn't matter, their purpose is just to rest anyway, and the drinks are just a supplement.
"Can you see the painting you just mentioned?" Angel put down his cup and looked at Laplace opposite.
He was quite curious about how the "holographic live broadcast" that Laplace mentioned worked, and what was going on with that painting?
Laplace nodded: "Okay, are you ready?"
"ah? What's ready? "
"Go and see a painting."
Angel was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied: "Ready."
"Then go." The moment Laplace finished speaking, a familiar barrier was built around him.
Angel was not surprised when he saw the barrier. There might be some mystery in that painting. Since it was going to be a holographic live broadcast, it was natural to block everyone's view.
When Angel was thinking this, suddenly, Laplace on the opposite side reached out his hand, and a strange energy began to condense on his fingertips, which were so white that they were almost jade-like.
The main body of this energy should be polymerization energy, but it is fused with a part of unknown energy. What kind of energy it is specifically? With Angel's level of energy research, he doesn't understand it at all. ——If Sanders were here, he might be able to understand it, but he can’t understand it anyway.
Not long after, the energy at Laplace's fingertips condensed into flashing points of light.
The light spots floated up and down, and from a distance, they looked like they were holding up a flowing river of stars on their fingertips.
"For your safety, I will block your perception and let you enter my field of vision." "Laplace's cold voice echoed in Angel's ears.
Angel could understand every word in the sentence, but he didn't understand what it meant when put together.
Just when Angel was about to ask, the streams of light on Laplace's fingers slowly began to arrange themselves, like constellations, starting their own combination according to a certain established trajectory.
"Is this similar to an illusion node?" Angel secretly wondered, is Laplace planning to use these light points to create illusions?
Soon, this speculation was denied.
The arrangement and combination of light spots was very fast, and the composition of the self-structure was completed in almost a second or two.
When this structure was finalized, it did not form any illusion, but instead formed a rippling mirror of light points.
At Laplace's signal, Angel reached out his hand and touched the mirror.
At the moment he touched it, Angel felt a faint suction. Angel did not resist and allowed the suction to pull him into the mirror.
When Angel opened his eyes again, he found that he had left the tooth dyeing shop and appeared in an unknown void.
Surrounded by endless light spots, these light spots are moving rapidly, like stars swirling around.
Angel wanted to sense the surrounding situation, but no matter how he called for spiritual power, he did not get any response. Moreover, not only the mental power cannot be sensed, but also the thinking space cannot be sensed.
It was as if he had become an ignorant ordinary person.
"You don't need to feel it, you are now exposed to this kind of
Power will only make you lost. "At this time, Laplace's voice sounded in my ears.
Angel looked around and saw no trace of Laplace.
"Where are you? Where is this place? Is this an illusion? What do you mean by what you said?" Angel asked.
After speaking, Angel frowned.
He felt like he was speaking, and he heard his own voice, but it always felt hollow. It's like diving into the water with a swimming cap on. Even though you can hear the sound, you still feel alienated.
"Did you see the lights around you?" Laplace's voice sounded again.
Angel nodded, how could he ignore that light spot surrounded by stars.
Laplace: "These points of light are me."
Is the point of light Laplace?
Just as Angel was surprised, he heard Laplace speak again: "You don't need to be surprised, you can actually be counted as a point of light now."
Am I also a point of light? But Angel looked down at his body and found nothing unusual. He was still in human form.
Laplace "You can understand that you are now an aura, an aura of consciousness. And our position is in a void of consciousness. This void of consciousness has very strange and strange powers. If there is no anchor point, It is easy to be assimilated by the surrounding forces. In order to prevent you from getting lost, I put a shell around the aura of your consciousness, which is the body you think of now. This body is also your anchor point."
To put it simply, Angel has actually turned into a point of light, but because he is in a very strange space, if he does not have a clear self-awareness in this space, it is easy to be attracted by external forces and get lost. This is also one of the reasons why Laplace blocks his perception.
And how to let Angel have self-awareness is to let him have his own body and use the familiar body as an anchor.
Angel roughly understood what Laplace meant. His current body was fake, just an anchor point... No wonder he felt as if he was speaking, and there was a strange alienation. Because he is not speaking physically at all, but a spiritual communication.
It's just that Laplace let Angel's body express it in an explicit way like "speaking".
Although he roughly understood the situation, Angel was still a little confused.
The void of consciousness... Laplace's description of it gave Angel a familiar sense of déjà vu————
Wang Wang once took him through the void storm and entered a high-dimensional passage. In that passage, Angel also saw various strange scenes. At the same time, according to Wang Wang, this high-dimensional passage can only be stably entered by talent. If someone enters without guidance or enters by mistake, he will 100% fail. Completely lost.
However, Wang Wang didn’t know at the time that this dimensional journey was not Angel’s first experience.
The Outer Eye took Angel on a journey to a higher dimension. At the end of that journey, Angel also learned the ability of the Door of Illusion.
And if the door of fantasy is opened with a special method, it will also lead to a fantasy journey... very likely, it is also a passage beyond dimensions.
How similar were the things back then to what is happening today?
Could it be that this so-called void of consciousness is also a high-dimensional journey?
Angel thinks it is very possible. In the research of many wizards, the concept of "consciousness" does not actually exist in this world, but in higher dimensions.
Laplace mentioned that this place is called "void of consciousness". When the concept becomes void, isn't it a higher dimension?
Angel asked about his guess.
After a moment of silence, Laplace replied: "I can't answer, but I am not the only one who can enter the void of consciousness. I have seen traces left by other lives here."
"If we really compare it in terms of dimensions, it may not be much higher than the dimension we live in."
"However, rather than talking about dimensions, I think this is a dangerous and secret world of consciousness gathering. It is similar to the dream world. It is chaotic and illogical. It is the mirror realm hidden deep in the world.
the other side of. "
Whether Angel's guess is correct or Laplace's statement is correct, no one can give a conclusion at present.
But as Laplace is a frequent visitor to this "world", Angel feels that her answer may be closer to the truth.
Not everyone has the ability to enter higher dimensions.
Putting this question aside for the moment, Angel looked at the "stars" surrounding him and asked, "Are we moving now?"
Laplace nodded: "Yes, the void of consciousness can move faster, but only consciousness can enter. And our destination is where my body is."
…
"We're here." Laplace's voice came.
It is difficult to perceive time in the void of consciousness, but Angel has been communicating with Laplace. If we estimate the time through dialogue, it should be no more than two minutes since he entered the void of consciousness.
While Angel was thinking about time, the surrounding "stars" began to arrange and combine again. After a while, a mirror reappeared in front of Angel.
"Same as before, you can leave by touching it...my true body is outside."
After a pause, Laplace added: "By the way, I will still block your perception."
Laplace did not say the reason this time, but Angel guessed that maybe it was also for his safety?
After all, he had heard Luigi mention that Laplace's body could cause shocking waves just by releasing its aura unintentionally.
If he goes out and senses the outside at will, he may end up hurting himself.
Angel naturally has no objection to this. What he is more curious about now is... what is Laplace's true form?
