If that's what you do to people who get lost here every time? I don't think anyone can get out of here. ”

Looking directly at the slime creature approaching, Roger's tone conveyed a little unkindly: "Although the process was not so pleasant, but anyway, we also helped you save the children of Utop, this kind of hospitality is a bit inappropriate, right?"

The mycelium that had grown from the slime creatures had all broken and the mucus had stopped secreting, and Roger was alive and kicking, but Linda, who had left with her, was still unconscious—this was what Roger was referring to.

"I'm sorry, I put this lady to sleep for a while, I want to talk to my husband alone. ”

Just when Roger was about to attack, an unfamiliar voice sounded in his head, it was old, tired, and seemed to come from an old man who was about to die, "But don't worry, sir, she can wake up at any time, and you can leave at any time, we don't intend to restrict the personal freedom of the two of you, in fact, most of the travelers who helped complete the self-inspection of the delay system left here directly, but I seem to feel a special aura in you, so I want to talk to you." ”

Indeed, as the unfamiliar voice said, Roger did not feel anything abnormal about Linda, those powerful mycelium were wrapped in the mucus secreted by himself, like a cocoon to protect Linda from being exposed to the deadly space environment.

In this comparison, the protection given to Roger is very perfunctory, although this guy himself is not afraid of extremely harsh conditions.

As soon as the unfamiliar voice spoke, the slime creature seemed to be down, the fungus on its body stopped wriggling, and when the light disappeared, it completely melted into the darkness of space.

Completely unfazed by the unknown, Roger sneered: "So you, the Lord, are finally willing to appear? You are very shrewd, hidden behind the scenes, and seem to know what I want to do?"

"Humanoid beings always have a sad mood in the face of the suffering of similar beings, which you call sympathy, and it is not surprising to see that kind of scene and have the idea of destroying me, and I confess that in terms of universal values, a tragedy has occurred in the culture box. ”

It's good that the unfamiliar voice doesn't explain, such an explanation is like adding fuel to the fire, and that kind of indifferent attitude ignites Roger's anger again, and the smirk on his face can no longer be disguised, and the smile disappears, leaving only a chill in his bones.

As if he didn't notice Roger's unkindness, the unfamiliar voice continued to explain: "But I really didn't mean to hide behind the scenes, the dimension of my existence is higher than yours, so it is difficult for my existence to be revealed in the world you are in, but I can still do it if I reluctantly let you see." ”

Staring at the space in front of him that began to twist and agitate, Roger found himself a little unsure of the self-proclaimed high-dimensional creature, whose words were sometimes indisputably provocative, sometimes excessively honest.

It was as if it was talking to itself right now, revealing itself in a low-dimensional form—an indescribable presence in front of Roger, or perhaps Roger could be present at its mouth, because it was so vast that it almost filled the small space.

It is a perfect black sphere, hidden in the background of the universe, although its shape almost fills the entire space, but the sphere strangely bypasses Roger and the crystal culture box behind him, and Roger does not perceive the distortion of the surrounding space, which may be one of the abilities of high-dimensional creatures.

"That's what I look like. ”

The establishment of an entity in the current dimension seems to have changed its voice as well, and although the tone is still tired, it now sounds as shocking as Huang Zhongdalu.

"Well, in that case, then we can really have a good talk. ”

Instead of being afraid of the huge size of the high-dimensional creatures, Roger spoke first: "First of all, the first and most important question, are you the guy who prayed to Rust, the god of death?"

In fact, as soon as the voice of this high-dimensional creature poured into his ears, Roger knew that the owner of this voice was the person who prayed that day, the person who pleaded to save them in his prayer, not the people of Utopian Village, who were about to suffer disaster, but the people who have fed them since ancient times.

"My guess is correct, you are the messenger of the gods, and I feel the will of the gods in you. ”

The voice sounded like a sigh of relief, which piqued Roger's curiosity even more, and he only heard it mumble to himself, "My prayer has come true, where do I start?"

"What the hell do I want to start with?" Roger's tone was still so unpolite.

"Entropy Demon, that's what the people of the universe call my race. ”

The existence of the self-proclaimed entropy demon introduced himself concisely, which made Roger slightly stunned, since he came to this other world, he heard the term universe for the first time, and the people here call the space where they are located either continents or planes, and even some have no concept of space, the word universe is so strange and ancient.

It seemed that it had been too long since there was no one to talk to, and the self-proclaimed Entropy Demon Sphere continued: "Since a long time ago, our race has been accustomed to building a small space vortex in the current dimension, separating it from the large universe to form small space bubbles, and hunting down the interstellar travelers who fall into it, which is not a problem for us. ”

In the beginning, so in the world before the Great Apocalypse, we were considered a cosmic phenomenon, and we used to have names such as 'interstellar swamps', and when a civilization recognized us as living beings, our race was regarded as a demon, and was given the name of the Entropy Demon, because the race is very rare, and it is no problem to call each of us an entropy demon. ”

At this time, Roger had not yet realized the meaning of the 'Great Destruction' in the mouth of the Entropy Demon, and he was only a sign of a time node, so he said indignantly: "So this is the reason why you eat people? As a life form beyond the dimension, it needs the simplest organic matter to survive?"

"Organic matter really means nothing to us, what we care about is the value of human beings or all intelligent beings themselves, this explanation is very abstract, I don't know if God makes you understand, in short, like the name of our race, we are a race that feeds on entropy increase. ”

"Entropy increases...... The world is bound to move towards the possibility of becoming more and more chaotic. ”

Roger paused for a moment, the little physics knowledge he learned in his previous life had already been returned to the teacher when he was crossing, and he thought about it for a long time before he recalled such a definition, and he didn't know that he was so face-saving to Old Man Newton here, and the good wizarding world also talked about the laws of physics, who did this reason with.

In fact, entropy increase is also simple, life extracts "order" from the environment to maintain its "order": eating and drinking is the process of ingesting "order", the order of food is reduced through digestion, and finally the "disorder" is discharged back to the environment in the form of Lazar. In general, the entropy of emissions is greater than the negative entropy of uptake, so the principle of entropy increase is satisfied.

This sounds a bit abstract, but we may not be so unfamiliar with another term, in an isolated system, there is no energy exchange between the system and the environment, and the system always spontaneously changes in the direction of increasing chaos, which always increases the entropy of the whole system, yes, this is the second law of thermodynamics that most people understand.

In this sense, the emergence of life, especially intelligent life, has accelerated the distribution of energy and greatly promoted the process of disorder in the universe.

The Great Orb hums, which seems to be its way of expressing its affirmation: "Natural entropy only sustains our existence, and in order to survive and reproduce, it is necessary to create a greater degree of entropy, and this is what we call eating." ”

"We take in the thinking organs of intelligent beings that are preyed on, and weave the necessary environment for them to think, and feed on them. ”

"What the divine envoy sees is not who I am, and because of the limitations of the dimension, he cannot see the whole picture of me. ”

"And you still have faith?"

Yes, death has always been the religion of our people. ’

"Didn't the rangers stop you?"

Unexpectedly, Entropy Demon's next words were even more unexpected by Roger.

"Although I have not lived through previous times, the memories of the population tell me that there was no oracle before the Great Apocalypse, and that the origin of the universe even hints at welcoming us. ”

Does the purpose of the universe look like a well-planned, dramatic suicide?

"My race existed before the Great Destruction, and after the World Barrier was established, most of my people were wiped out during that period because of the nascent cosmic system that was contrary to our race. ”

"Wait, wait. Roger couldn't help but interrupt it, the amount of information in just a few sentences was so large that it almost subverted his perception.

"What is the Great Break, and what is the World Barrier?"

Roger asked the most important question, which he expected to be inextricably linked to his status as a ranger.

"A disaster, a catastrophe like no other. ”

Roger nodded, pricking up his ears, but no more.

"I'm sorry, but our perception of the outside world has already happened when I realized that the pattern had changed, and it seemed to me that the size of the universe had suddenly shrunk to the size of galaxies. ”

"It was a strange race, lively and dull, who sensed my presence through a special psychic power and told me that it was the source of the spatial anomaly. ”

"They attacked you?"

"No, they sold me this machine. ”

"So the crux of the problem is ......."

"There is no aftermarket for this incubator. Entropy replied solemnly.
