To make sure they didn't pass through the same compartments on the way back, they marked every door along the way with the magic glow liquid they had used before.

The strange feeling that coiled in everyone's hearts like a maggot on the tarsal bone still brought great trouble to everyone on the way back, and from time to time someone would open the compartment door out of control, and some monsters would rush out to slow down the pace of progress, but on the whole it was much easier.

This means that the poplar has the leisure to be stupid again.

As she passed through Compartment 60, Rachel lost control again and opened the door of the compartment, from which a demonized dinosaur burst out, injuring Anyi and killing Rachel with a two-ring natural magic: [Fury].

"This is a dinosaur, why are there extinct creatures here, isn't it very valuable for research?" Poplar stepped forward and touched the body of the dinosaur curiously, his hands were cold, the scales were firm, and there were some short hairs along the spine.

"Why aren't you surprised to see so many extinct creatures in the wilderness?" An Yi asked in confusion.

"Because that's the territory of the Federation, I can't be the master," Yang Shu's face looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous plan, "I have the right to dispose of this corpse, right?"

"Yes, most of the loot during the mission goes to the Operators, and only a small part is collected by the Federation. Rachel nodded and replied earnestly, "This kind of corpse counts as personal property." ”

"In that case, I'm going to hand over the dinosaur to the state!" said Poplar, holding the dragon's head, with a righteous face.

"Hey, why didn't you move all of a sudden?" Chu Qiu's voice came from the beacon, slightly urging.

"Encountered a demonized dinosaur, killed it, and it took some time to examine the corpse. Poplar replied, his tone returning to seriousness, "I've checked it out, move on." ”

Ten minutes later, Yang Shu saw Chu Qiu's figure from a distance on the other side of the aisle.

The two teams stopped, Chu Qiu and Mo Qiushui were just standing at the door of the compartment where Yang Shu came, and the three Yang Shu were in the first compartment on the right.

"The 64th compartment. Chu Qiu said.

"The 64th compartment. Poplar also said, the same number.

"This means that the total number of compartments here is actually only 128, and a large proportion of the compartments we pass through are duplicated. Yang Shu sneered, and after a long absence, he lifted the non-existent glasses on his face, "I already smell the truth." ”

Medium two +30

"It is not confirmed that the total number of chambers is 128, only that the chambers do move. Chu Qiu thought that this conclusion was not rigorous, "And this does not explain the origin of the monster in the compartment and the generation of strange feelings, don't be too happy." ”

"I think the total number of compartments is 128, in fact, I have always been able to faintly detect a trace of spatial ripples before, but on the way back this time, I deliberately used the ability to capture spatial ripples, but I found nothing," Mo Qiushui's face was a little pale, thinking that it was caused by the considerable consumption of using abilities along the way, "I am sure that there is no spatial transfer in our vicinity." ”

"If that's the case, I can accept the speculation. After listening to Mo Qiushui's addition, Chu Qiu retreated.

The next question is what causes the recurrence of the compartment, and the mechanism by which the sensation of abnormality and the appearance of objects in the compartment occurs. Thinking of this, Poplar frowned again, "Maybe the space here seems to be a straight line, but it's actually a circle, and we're just going around in circles, so there's a repeating compartment?"

"No, the appearance of Li Xing and the cleaner women before did not conform to this pattern, they all appeared before walking through the 64 compartments. Chu Qiu immediately denied this speculation.

"Maybe because of the spatial disorder, there is a special connection between some of the compartments, and they will randomly swap places?" Rachel guessed.

"This situation does not ensure that we can keep moving forward and there is likely to be a sudden disruption. Mo Qiushui shook his head and pointed out the problem.

The crowd was in a predicament for a while, arguing.

"Actually, I think there must be some kind of connection between the change in the position of the cubicle, the generation of strange feelings, and the appearance of monsters, which are caused by the same effect. An Yi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked at the mouth and said.

"Do you have any ideas?" asked Chu Qiu.

"Well, there are some," Anyi nodded, and continued, "Judging by the current performance, the farther away we are from the starting point, the more strange we become. Monsters only appear when the compartment door is opened, and similarly, the farther away from the starting point, the higher the average strength of the monster, without any prior warning. There is reason to believe that the monster appeared the moment the compartment was opened.

I feel like this process is like a chaotic effect, and our sense of strangeness is a precursor to the erosion of chaos, and we instinctively have a thirst for chaos······"

As she spoke, An Yi stopped: "Actually, I didn't think too clearly." ”

And Yang Shu, standing aside and listening to An Yi's words, recalled that his consciousness was immersed in that dark world for the first time, the feeling of being wrapped in endless darkness, and the strange growth feeling that suddenly appeared in the activity room, some scattered phenomena were connected in series, and a possibility was outlined in his mind.

His furrowed brow gradually relaxed, and there was a glint of confidence in his eyes.

"I have a word, please listen to me. Poplar shouted.

"Don't make a fuss, now is not the time. Chu Qiu glanced at the poplar tree and didn't care.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have an idea that I need your cooperation to verify. Poplar changed his tone and spoke again.

"Say it. Seeing that Yang Shu's expression did not look like a treasure, Chu Qiu also took it seriously.

"Let's talk about the conclusion first, the movement of the compartments in this space and the appearance of monsters all come from the chaos effect, and the source of the chaos effect is the detachment of the reality dimension caused by the imbalance of space, reaching the junction of the chaotic void. ”

"What causes the spatial imbalance?" Mo Qiushui asked.

"Position, you can take this long aisle," Poplar said, pointing to the aisle at his feet, "as a balance, when the 'weight' on the left or right side is uneven, space-time shifts, and under this shift, the compartment extends forward, like sliding down a slide."

At the same time, we will feel that strange feeling because of the slight erosion of chaos, and the compartment is the boundary between chaos and the real world, and the moment we open the door, the items in the chaos have a certain probability of coming to the real world. ”

"What about the evidence?" Chu Qiu asked.

"In the process of our exploration, the intensity of the strangeness was affected by many factors, such as the distance from the starting point, the direction in which we moved, the relative gap between our compartments, etc., all of which were related to location. Yang Shu explained, "And I suddenly remembered just now, that strange feeling was very similar to the feeling of entering another world when I first cultivated. ”

Yang Shu raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders, and asked confidently, "And the primordial magic power is the supernatural power closest to the origin of chaos, isn't it?"

Everyone except Poplar fell silent, pondering the credibility of this conjecture.

"Anyway, there aren't any other reliable speculations at the moment, so let's try Yajiu's statement first, right?" An Yi asked tentatively.

Everyone nodded.

"How are you going to verify it?" Chu Qiu looked at the poplar tree and asked.

"Quite simply, by making sure that the 'weight' on both sides is balanced, you can keep this aisle in the real world, and you can walk through 64 compartments on both sides to find the end of this space. ”

"Yes. Chu Qiu nodded, "Actually, our previous member distribution actually just kept the balance of 'weight', right?"

"That's right, those who know me, Chu Qiuye. ”

"Hmph, don't get too happy. Chu Qiu rolled his eyes again, turned to face the seemingly endless aisle in front of him, "Let's start directly." ”

As before, the three of Yang Shu walked to the right, and Chu Qiu and Mo Qiushui walked to the left.

The two teams kept the same number of compartments they passed, and soon disappeared from each other's sight.

Soon they reached the door of the 10th compartment, where Rachel had first felt mental stress.

"Rachel, do you feel anything strange from before?" asked Poplar.

Rachel shook her head and replied, "No, it's normal. ”

It wasn't until the 38th compartment that everyone felt a slight sense of strangeness, and the intensity was still under everyone's control, so it seemed that Poplar's guess was right.

"Hmph, that kid isn't bad. A subtle smile appeared on the corner of Chu Qiu's mouth, and he muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Mo Qiushui walked aside, not knowing why.

"Nothing. Chu Qiu shook his head and replied, his face stiffened again.

It wasn't until the 58th compartment that Mo Qiushui lost control for the first time and opened the door of the compartment, and there was only a demonized rabbit behind the door, which was basically no threat.

By the time she reached the 61st compartment, Rachel lost control for the first time and opened the door to reveal an apprentice's magic hat behind it, again unthreatening.

Standing at the door of Cubicle 61, the poplar tree could already see a reddish-brown wooden door through the thick darkness.

On the other side, Chu Qiu also saw the wooden door and stopped.

"Poplar, stop first, in front of me, a wall appeared next to compartment 64, and there was a reddish-brown wooden door on the wall. Through the space beacon, Chu Qiu said.

"Me too. Poplar stopped and replied, "Did you say we saw the same door?"

"I don't think so. Chu Qiu replied.

There was silence on both sides, observing the door.

Everything was ordinary, and even the thick darkness that had been blocking everyone's vision began to slowly dissipate, and the atmosphere around them became calmer.

The door has never changed, and it is not willing to reveal the slightest information behind the door.

The observation was fruitless, so he could only open the door with his own hands, Chu Qiu said, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm. The poplar replied and took a long-stagnant step.
