What does it feel like to have an extra spirit behind you?
Very awkward.
But what should I do if I can’t communicate, can’t remove the spirit, and can’t defeat the other party?
Of course I let her go, what else could I do.
Lin Ke never thought that one day he would be stalked...
It's really hard to ignore the other person if he cares so much. With her tall figure and floor-length fluffy hair, she doesn't look like Disney's Rapunzel at all, but more like Sulley. And he's a furry monster that's taller than him.
Although there is no sound of footsteps or breathing, it will not disturb you or hinder your daily life. ...But this way, it seems more terrifying.
If he didn't have the guts to scold the other party, his eighteenth generation ancestors would have invited him out to greet him. But in front of him, Lin could only touch his nose and continue to ignore it.
Because he was being watched, he did not dare to put some relatively secret work on the table for others to see. So I just did some normal work and maintained the original magic program for the tower.
The girls talked less. The original lively and joyful atmosphere in the magic tower became a little tense and weird after a certain demon king returned.
This night, the night of a single month. In addition to the stars and the Milky Way in the sky, the ever-moving Gudalana moon hangs high in the sky.
Lin observed the stars and began the work of calculating and defining distances, using methods well-worn in astrophysics. The only concern is whether the numerical values of each observation are correct. On the contrary, the calculation aspect is not a big problem.
The computerized magic tower is already quite mature in terms of calculation alone. At least after several years of adjustments, the recent calculation results are consistent with manual verification, and can be considered trustworthy.
It’s just that the user interface is neither beautiful nor convenient, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. However, this aspect of work is of very low importance and has not yet been officially scheduled for work.
Although I started to calculate astronomical data, the actual work was just writing the program code for the calculation formula. As long as the program code is modified, different calculation results can be obtained based on all observation data. This calculated number will then be reflected on the star chart specially made by Lin.
That specially made star map was actually the map of the lost star system that was laid out using the light sphere before the six-star astronomical event. Expand it to include other observed stars. That is to say, the originally flat star map began to become three-dimensional, and programmed calculations were introduced.
In the flat version of the star map, Lin finally recorded 1,983 stars. These are targets that have a brightness above a certain level and are easy to observe with the naked eye. The astronomical telescope was used as an auxiliary means, and Lin never thought about increasing the workload of manual work.
After the automated calculations of the program are introduced, the entire work content is different. Import data, design formulas, export calculation results, and present them on a three-dimensional star map. Lin is currently focusing a lot of energy on improving observation methods and data input and output. Instead, I really calm down and have less time to look at the stars.
However, there is a big follower these days, and assignments that require concentration and concentration cannot be done. So Lin chose a very important task that had yet to be carried out - mapping the Earth's starry sky.
How to locate the position of a star in the vast universe?
Whether you stay on Earth or on Midi, the planet itself is the best reference. As long as you have a vague idea of the planet's magnetic field and the mountain environment on the earth's surface, if you tell others about the southwest peninsula of the Midland continent or the Guna Mountains in the central region, others will quickly understand the place you are talking about.
However, there are no absolute coordinates in the universe to refer to. You can only use the observable starry sky as a relative reference to define your position.
So how do you find the Earth?
The method Lin came up with was to complete the three-dimensional star map with Midi as the reference point, then randomly select other stars as the reference point, and flatten the three-dimensional star map again. As long as the familiar eighty-eight constellations appear, it means that the earth has been found. Or to be more precise, find the sun where the earth belongs, the hometown that you dream of.
Behind this calculation, in addition to confirming the distance of the stars, another major difficulty is time. As we all know, the starlight projected onto planets belongs to stars that are several light-years to tens of billions of light-years away, depending on their distance. This means that the starlight that can be observed on the planet is the memory of the universe several years ago, or even tens of billions of years ago.
In other words, to obtain a correct map of the positions of stars, we need to consider changes in time. To move to a new star at the observation reference point, you need to make another conversion. And the more times the conversion is done, the greater the error will be...
As for how to go back, that's another question.
To complete the comparison, the prerequisite is to have a starry sky map that belongs to the earth.
Since time traveling, the memory of the earth is extremely clear and will not be forgotten by the passage of time. So let alone the eighty-eight constellations observed from the earth, even their brightness, modern definitions and other information are clearly retained in the mind.
But it has never been drawn. This is not unimportant, I am afraid it is some kind of feeling of being close to home. until today.
Constellations are a way to help memory, so when Lin drew a star map belonging to the earth, he unconsciously connected the stars. Even though I'm online, I can't help but draw images of all the constellations. Pegasus, swan, dragon, fairy, phoenix, and the twelve signs of the zodiac.
It's funny to say that the reason why I became obsessed with the stars in the sky was a certain manga by a certain Kurumada. Unexpectedly, my future was completely covered by that comic book, and I became an otaku with a doctorate in astrophysics. I never imagined that one day I would have to rely on these two skills to find a way home.
Thinking of this, Lin sighed. Suddenly, a voice came from behind, with a magnetic and pleasant voice, asking intermittently: "Why...why...you...look at...the stars every...night...?"
She looked at the Lord Demon King who asked the question in surprise. What she said was not the incantation used by magicians when they recite spells, but the Aramaic language that is most commonly used in human society and the world of magicians. Although he was not fluent yet, Lin didn't want to dwell too much on someone's language talent. replied:
"I look at the starry sky because I want to observe and map the appearance of the sea of stars."
"Why?"
He looked back at a certain demon king. Those seductive eyes were shining in the hair. It was comparable to the brightest stars in the sky, attracting Lin's mind. Is this charm magic? Or simply being aroused by nostalgia.
Lin opened his mouth to talk about things that he had never revealed to others. "You know there are other worlds besides Lost Land."
"Abyss...Star Boundary?"
"It doesn't mean that. It's a world very similar to Mystery, but there are no elves, no dwarves, no gods and no magic."
"So...original?"
"No, I wouldn't use primitive to describe that world. It has science that allows people to fly thousands of feet high in the sky, and even land on the moon; it allows people to dive into the water thousands of feet below, without having to float for months; it also has the ability to carry It uses tools that move people forward at a fast speed. Perhaps extreme performances can only be used by a small number of people, but the vast majority of scientific products can be used by anyone, without requiring special magical talents or spending a lot of money. Time meditation. It also has many unimaginable things. The purpose of its existence is not to survive, nor to kill people more efficiently, but to enrich the soul. All the beautiful things far exceed those in the Lost World. of."
"How...could...could...there be...such...a...place like that."
"How is it impossible? Maybe that world also has a dark side, with wars and famines, but it is my home. The place where I was born and raised. So, I sympathize.─"
The sudden change of conversation made Tikal a little uncomfortable. He was obviously talking about this man's own affairs, so how could he still sympathize with him when it involved him? Just looking at him looking at the starry sky with his deep eyes, it seemed like he was feeling nostalgic, but also feeling emotional.
"──Resurrected after a thousand years, there are no friends, not even enemies. The familiar world does not exist. Listening to people talking in unfamiliar languages, looking at the scenery that is not similar to the memory, this feeling, It's very lonely. I understand, I understand, because I am also lonely."
Lin Xu clenched his fists and looked into the depths of the sea of stars. "Of course, I'm not saying that I have friends or enemies on Earth. But even without these, my life is still satisfying. Some people will laugh at us for being addicted to the two-dimensional world, but I also want to laugh. They have to live in camps for milk powder money and coaxing their wives and girlfriends. On Earth, I am just a nobody, a fat house in the eyes of others, but I already own the whole world, and they don’t know it. There are too many things there. Makes people worry--"
After speaking Chinese, which he had not spoken for more than ten years, Lin spoke again. His words were a bit difficult and intermittent, but they were all spoken from the bottom of his heart. And the more he talks, the more he slips away. '──I want to watch the video of the Pure Land again. How many new episodes have I missed? How many generations have Dragon Quest and Space Marines been released? What new tricks does Mario have? What’s next for the Marvel Universe? What's going on with the Empire and the Jedi, blowing the Sith's asshole? Has the DC Cinematic Universe risen to the occasion, or is it still being crushed to the ground and rubbed by Iron Man like the old man? Did Five Star Story have an ending before Nagano Mamoru died? Hideaki Anno brings out Evangelion again, is there something new? And my collections, my comics, my d-groove...'
Suddenly a certain man stood up and shouted to the sky: 'What god have I offended? Do you need to exile me to this world where birds don't lay eggs? Just tell me to die, and I won't resent you. Who did I offend? Ala Muni Guanyin, any great god is fine, let me go home. go home……'
The excitement only lasted for a moment, when a certain man's voice became lower and lower, and finally there was only sobs left.
Perhaps the series of Chinese is still an unfamiliar language to a certain former demon king who has just learned to understand Aramaic. But she could understand the emotion in Lin's words, and even felt it. An inexplicable impulse made her hug someone who was squatting and crying, feeling each other's body temperature, heartbeat, and everything else they could feel.
Maybe the reasons are different, but having the same loneliness means having the same vulnerability, and they happen to be one male and one female. The two people hugging each other naturally ask for each other and have a deeper communication.
