The cold raindrops fell on the two of them, running down their faces and clothes, and the dark lightning gun dripped down, splashing water, and the time around them seemed to be about to freeze.
There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of the veiled woman, but it quickly disappeared. She gently stretched out her left hand and lifted the veil, revealing an old face that Chu Yunsheng had not expected at all. How could there be a vixen who should have a peerless appearance? ? The dry skin was wrinkled and stacked together, making the whole person look more like a dying old woman.
"Are you surprised? This is the price of using forbidden arts." She said in a soft tone as she didn't seem to be at all alarmed by the tip of the gun being pressed against her throat.
Chu Yunsheng was indeed a little surprised. This was different from all the versions he had heard about this woman, but he was just surprised. The essence of the matter had not changed.
He shook the gun and said coldly: "Who are you?"
But the veiled woman smiled back, looked at Chu Yunsheng, and said: "Since you can understand what I am singing, then does it matter who I am? In fact, what you want to ask is not who I am, but yourself. Who is it? Right?"
Chu Yunsheng was shocked and said angrily: "Nonsense! Tell me who you are! Otherwise you won't survive ten seconds!"
Unexpectedly, instead of being afraid, the veiled woman pressed her throat to a point and sneered: "Really? Is it very capable of killing a member of your own race?"
Chu Yunsheng did not hesitate to pierce the tip of the spear slightly into her skin, drawing out traces of blood, and said coldly: "Ghosts are your kindred! If you don't tell me, you will die!"
The veiled woman suddenly took a step back, away from the tip of the gun, frowning and said: "So you don't know anything yet? But how can you understand it? Could it be——"
She did not continue talking, but kept looking at Chu Yunsheng, as if she didn't want to say anything anymore.
Chu Yunsheng's face turned cold. He had never been a person who liked to kill indiscriminately, but he really hated foreigners from the bottom of his heart, and he was about to stab them with his gun.
"Why don't I tell you how darkness descends!" The veiled woman remained motionless, her eyes flashing. Suddenly he spoke.
The lightning gun stopped abruptly.
"Say!" Chu Yunsheng retracted his body and carried it behind his back. The rainwater gathered into a line along the gun body and dripped into the ground.
About how darkness falls. The predecessors in the ancient book had a narrative explanation, where they called it "the sky track is closed", but Chu Yunsheng could not understand the rules and figures he listed, and that was just these explanations. It's only narrative, and the seniors don't seem to want to waste the limited space on this kind of thing.
From the bottom of Chu Yunsheng's current heart, how did the darkness happen? Why will the end come? The interest in these mysterious things is no longer what it used to be. Since the darkness, many bizarre things have followed one after another, making him gradually understand some truth: since the sky rail is sealed, there must be "someone" who seals it. , there must be a "reason" for sealing it. Especially the "passing by" the ship graveyard below, and Yan Min's talk of hatred for thousands of years, made him feel that there was a huge historical figure hidden in the endless river of time.
But these things have nothing to do with the predecessors in the ancient books. According to the records in the ancient books, when the predecessor came to the earth, his situation was extremely urgent and he died soon. There was not enough time to verify who sealed the sky track, and he There seems to be no interest in verifying it at all, let alone the sky rail. Even those overlords and super-civilized people couldn't leave anything behind in his eyes, he just brushed them off.
He was only shocked by the stone tablet. There was even a wonderful "communication" with the stone tablet that Chu Yunsheng also experienced. The difference was that Chu Yunsheng saw the trajectories of his ancestors throughout the generations, while his predecessors "saw" a story so far away that it had been Sweeping through the trash heap, you will rarely find "legends" that can only be found on some remote and very ancient worship murals on the Death Star.
When the senior first started writing the ancient book, it was only because the humans from the local primitive tribe took care of him during his last period of time. In fact, what he revealed between the lines was that he did not want to interfere with the sealing of the earth's sky orbit, etc. However, after discovering the stone tablet, he immediately raised the height of the book to the point where he hoped that the successor would attach great importance to this legend and replace it. He found his own people, and then found the stone tablet, and beware of the existence of evil spirits from outside the world!
As the successor of his predecessor's ancient book, Chu Yunsheng has always followed his predecessor's thinking and believes that his system has nothing to do with the sky track seal. It can be said that his predecessor is a complete outsider, and he is only the successor of this outsider. Belonging to a person who was not supposed to appear in the first place, has nothing to do with this huge historical figure.
But the senior didn't know whether he didn't take it into consideration or was deliberately negligent. He was an outsider, but his successor of the ancient book, the current Chu Yunsheng, was not an outsider! He is a human being born and raised on earth.
So when Chu Yunsheng heard the lamentations and words of the Seven Insects that only he could hear in the ship graveyard, he was actually very panicked, because he always felt that those huge historical figures had nothing to do with him, and that he was just an outsider. A relic of a marginalized person.
What frightens him even more is that he is afraid that he will prove to be a foreign race. As God's Domain said, a foreign race whose body contains fragments of the life source of other races.
Just like a child who worries about whether he is the biological child of his parents, Chu Yunsheng cares very much about being a "human" and not some other monster who was also born to his parents! Even when he was a bug, he always wanted to regain his human body.
Therefore, the veiled woman's sad song greatly stimulated Chu Yunsheng's sensitive area. The difference is that now he wants to be more proactive. Either force her to say something and find out what is going on, or she If she refuses to say anything, he will kill her immediately to avoid future troubles. In his mind, all aliens are not good things!
In fact, he is more willing to believe that the reason why he can hear those things, but does not know anything as the veiled woman said, is because he practices the system of the ancient books of his predecessors, not because there is any foundation in his body. Fragment remnants, at least there has never been anything weird in his head, everything is still his original. Although there is nothing too luminous in his life, it is his own memory and life. To him, this It is one of the most precious things.
Chu Yunsheng would never tolerate having his self taken away from him like the Heavenly Guide from the Divine Realm, or having an extra memory of his life that did not belong to him. He was who he was, unique between heaven and earth, and could not be replaced, nor could anything be added to it. !
"You don't need to be so nervous." Seeing Chu Yunsheng's tense face, the veiled woman said calmly: "Even if you have heard "Sorrow" but can't remember anything, you are just an ordinary combatant at best. ."
"Mourning?" The tragic song that was full of sadness and regret that even made him shed tears appeared in Chu Yunsheng's mind, and he squirmed slightly.
"Yes, it's called Ai Yun, Ai Tian Zhi Yuan!" The veiled woman nodded, her face darkened, and after a moment, she suddenly said: "Have you heard of the Mobius Circle?"
Chu Yunsheng shook his head, not knowing what she was talking about.
The veiled woman smiled, folded the veil she took off into a long strip in the rain, then rotated one section 180°, and then glued it together with another section, displayed it in front of Chu Yunsheng, and said: "This is A Mobius circle has only one side. No matter where you start from and eventually return to the starting point, the route you take is the same side, and it is completely closed."
"What do you want to say?" Chu Yunsheng shook his head in confusion, not knowing what she was doing.
The veiled woman ignored him and continued: "You can use your imagination and understand this plane as a broad two-dimensional space. Then, you will find that I just rotated it slightly and closed it. Isolated.”
Chu Yunsheng still didn't understand what she was talking about, but this time he didn't speak. He just looked at her intently to see what she wanted to say.
"The Mobius circle is a geometric problem discovered by humans in the 19th century. The reason why I borrowed it is because by explaining it in this way, you can more easily understand what happens next. Although this metaphor is too simple and even naive, it is This is the only way you can understand." The veiled woman let go of the long strap and curled it into a tube, twisting it back and forth as she seemed to explain.
Chu Yunsheng knew that what she meant was that he was not intelligent enough and could only understand superficial principles, but it didn't matter to him. He had never felt that he was very smart.
The veiled woman raised her head and glanced at Chu Yunsheng. She seemed to be very satisfied with Chu Yunsheng's "modest" attitude, and continued: "If you think of time as an axis, not a dimension, and stand alone, don't worry about this axis for now. , and don’t worry about whether it will shorten or lengthen due to space movement. Put it aside and we will simply discuss space issues. As you just saw, in three-dimensional space, we can use the ratio of two There is an extra dimension in the dimensional space, and a two-dimensional space is formed through methods and technologies that are similar to the formation of the Mobius circle, but are actually tens of thousands of times more complicated than it, and completely seal it. There is no exit, and the third one can never be found. A three-dimensional world.”
Chu Yunsheng was not too stupid, and he quickly discovered a contradiction and said: "But what you closed is a circle, not a flat plane."
The veiled woman continued to work on her slightly more complicated model without raising her head, and said: "Yes, but that's just because you are standing in a three-dimensional space. In fact, if you are a person living in this closed two-dimensional space, Creatures in space will never know that this is a circle. You will only think that this is a plane, the world you live in.
However, it is precisely because it exists in a three-dimensional space that it is actually a closed circle. Therefore, after the creatures living in this closed two-dimensional space fully explore and understand their world, some intelligent creatures will give birth to Ideas that they cannot imagine or understand, they will feel that there should be at least one dimension to support and ensure the existence and stability of their two-dimensional world.
This dimension is the third dimension, but they have never seen the third dimension and can never know what the third dimension looks like. They can only imagine based on guesswork. "
