Dark.

But it is not darkness.

Obviously with a suffocating dullness like an abyss.

But it's transparent, faintly fluorescent.

That is, the unnamed flower, with, strange petals.

Invisible like a flame, ethereal like nothingness.

Swaying slightly, dancing.

Is it a greeting cheer? Or is it a group of lonely souls, in the dead of night, enjoying a lonely?

Such a gesture, such a blur, like a phantom.

Obviously, it shouldn't exist, but it does.

Like a conjuring lamp, it leads Kazama to raise his feathers, little by little, to the depths of darkness.

It's like a walk-and-go trip.

There is no beginning and no end.

Just do what you want, follow it, and move in the direction of your heart.

Unfortunately, the only difference may be the scenery in front of you.

There are no mountains to look up to, and there is no great river to the east, and there is only darkness in front of Kazama Yangyu.

Endless, without beginning or end.

Forget the journey, forget the time.

The sound of clear footsteps, like war drums, hammer after hammer, slowly falling.

In the empty caves, ups and downs, wandering.

In the end, quietly falling.

Float down to the petals that seem to be real and illusory.

With it, with the eternal unnamed flower, just like that, tirelessly blooming, extending.

All the way, stretching on, the end of darkness......

Finally, has it arrived......

It's a faint, fluorescent place.

It was like a dream, a dense place.

But, but why, there was a familiar feeling that suddenly struck.

No, that's not a memory, that's not the tenderness of a midnight dream, there will be no restraint, and there will be no faint warmth.

It was, like a bad cold, cold.

Just like yesterday, when I first entered the valley, it was cold.

The eerie chill slowly rippled, like flowing water, like ripples.

Wave after wave, wave after wave.

Like invisible fingertips, it touched Kazama's cheeks, the tips of his hair, and ...... Soul.

Let him can't help but shudder fiercely.

The footsteps stopped unconsciously.

The instinct of the creature is activated in a split second.

Resisting, shouting, admonishing.

However, it was fruitless.

It's too late, there's no turning back.

At the moment of seeing, that door.

There, there is an ancient evil, quietly dormant.

Unabashedly, exuding their own danger, with malice.

So sincere, so open, as if he is inviting every soul passing by with his warmest emotions.

Invite them, little by little, little by little, little by little, and then, little by little, push away.

Push open the door, dark, ancient.

The simple and intricate patterns, the cold and dull color, make this gate, which has no end in sight due to the mist, look even more mysterious and weird.

Like, the legendary wall of sighs that leads to hell.

After a slight sigh, after gently touching the complicated and simple patterns with both hands, something will take you into another, a new world.

As it is now, Kazama is feathering.

A moment of touch, a moment of disorientation, and then, the whole world, just like that, vanished.

The field of vision is blurred for a moment.

It's like a painting that suddenly cuts into countless pieces, and then collapses.

It's like fireworks, as light as in the darkness.

Then, before Kazama Hiroki came to his senses, he returned and put it together.

It's like, a jigsaw puzzle prank.

And the result of this prank is simply to reconstruct the world.

Yes, refactoring.

Reconstructed into a magnificent castle.

Judging from the hundreds of meters wide corridor and the dome that completely blends into the darkness, it should be...... Castle.

Huge rocks, almost every one of them, were several people high, piled up one by one, forming a long and deep corridor.

At both ends of the corridor are the statues, lifelike, stone carvings.

One after the other, along the corridor, to the end of the view.

The conversation changed, but suddenly he asked without a clue, "I don't know, do you have a feeling, there are many scenes, obviously you haven't experienced it, but it feels familiar, and even, sometimes, you can know in advance the bricks, tiles, grass and trees of the scenes you have never entered, and even accurately predict what will happen in the next few seconds?" ”

It was as if an electric current rushed up from the bottom of his feet, and Kazama Shoha suddenly froze. He often encounters these events when the scene predicts and predicts the future, especially after entering puberty, and he has also asked other adolescent children around him, and found that many people have similar experiences with him, from confused familiarity to accurate predictions, depending on the subject, the strength and weakness will be different. Although so-called experts often use the so-called "sense of déjà vu" or "cerebral cortex discharge" to explain these familiar feelings, it is difficult to have a theory to explain the prediction of the future. Thinking of this, Kazama raised his head suddenly, a raging flame burning in his eyes, and his desire for the unknown exploded in an instant.

Yan looked at the young man in front of him who seemed to be a different person, and suddenly laughed softly, "Actually, these are just because they have experienced it yourself. ”

Seeing the confusion flashing in Kazama's eyes, Kazama continued, "This, I have to nag about the structure of life again. The existence of life is divided into three parts: the body, the person, and the origin soul. ”

"Person and Origin Soul?" Kazama felt that his mind was a little messy right now.

"Yes. I won't explain the physical body, but let's talk about the origin soul first, the origin soul is the most essential form of existence, it is not limited to certain dimensions, or at least in the case that we can only deduce to the dimension where the physical body is located at most two levels higher, we cannot find the limitations of the origin soul. You can think of it as a higher dimensional being. As he explained, his fingers moved slightly, and in the suspended membrane in the air, a substantial snake-like substance suddenly appeared, which meandered and moved, passing through the middle of the translucent balls, and finally turning back, ending in hand, forming a closed loop, which could connect all the balls, including the dimensional gap between them.

"This ...... Is it the Origin Soul? Kazama seemed to suddenly understand something.

"It's just that I'm saying that, in fact, he's not limited to a higher dimension than us. It was everywhere, passing through dimension after dimension, and finally joining together. And each origin soul in a particular dimension is what we understand as a general soul. ”

"Boom!" In his head, something suddenly exploded, and Kazama suddenly felt that the world in front of him was different, and muttered, "So, the prophecy of the future we experienced was actually because the souls were originally adjacent, and then passed on what the origin soul had experienced in another dimension?" ”

"It may or may not be." Just when Kazama thought that he had comprehended the new world, he gave an uncertain answer, and he smiled wryly as he explained, "We don't know the state of existence of the timeline, because we are limited to this dimension, even if we rely on reasoning, we can understand a higher dimension, and even rely on the results of these reasoning to spy on a higher dimension, but we can't spy on a higher dimension." ”

Kazama nodded, indeed, it's like you can estimate that a numerical range is 0.1 to 0.5 from some definite conditions, and then use a few such uncertain ranges to infer more uncertain ranges, such as 0.001 to 0.0125, but, the next step, there is nothing you can do about it, because you don't know that you need several such uncertain numbers to infer the lower range. Such an inference is meaningless.

"Therefore, we also have no way of knowing whether the timeline is a higher axis that permeates every dimension or a completely new axis independent of all spatial dimensions." Kazama raised his head from his contemplation and suddenly asked, "Right?" ”

"You have a good understanding." Yan nodded, "So, either the information is transmitted from the same level of dimension through the Origin Soul, or because the timeline is a closed ring, and our Origin Soul has been moving on this ring, repeatedly. And the information we see is the imprint that remains on the Origin Soul. ”

"But how boring is it that the Origin Soul runs along the same history every time. Moreover, isn't many things probabilistic, and every time it's the same, it's different, right? ”

--------------------------

"Why, when civilization has reached this level, why is there still a sad existence struggling for food and clothing?"

"Even if the level of civilization has made everyone enough to have food and clothing, but ...... The so-called affluence is not a measure of wealth, but a measure of wealth disparity. ”

------------------------

"You...... How did you end up here?! ”

“…… You guys"

"Follow me!"

Don't say anything, pull it out.

"Uh......"

"Oh, shrewd, you can't treat guests like this~"

"Got it~ I'll take good care of my big brother!"

He glanced back at his still uneasy gaze and nodded with a smile.

"Why are you here!"

"......, shouldn't you answer your own reasons before asking someone this question?"

“”

"Say, what do you want?"

"Huh?"

"Ha, you're big, what do you want as a condition for not betraying us?"

“…… Do I look like that......"

"All in all, thank you for saving me today, if anything, just ask. Try to be as early as possible, if it's late, maybe I'll change my mind. ”

"Uh......"

"I can promise to do one thing for you. Whatever it is. Sakura smiled slyly and squinted.

"Ren, what?" Kazama subconsciously mixed his spit.

"Yes, Ren~He~" Sakura re-opened the book in her hand, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her, "As a reference, for example, put on a maid costume and be your maid for a week or something, it's okay~"

"......" Kazama raised his feathers

"Aren't you happy with this reference? How about wearing an apron every day for the next month to wake you up and make you breakfast? ”

"Uh......"

"Is it really okay to ask for anything?"

What the...... Is it all right......

"Hey, don't look at me with that weird look, do you think I only have this body?"

"Anyway, this is the only property I have now, and I originally wanted to leave it to my husband who may appear in the future."

"Hey, you took me for a pervert just now!"

"Isn't it? I'm sorry I can't think of a more appropriate word for someone who just met someone who got under someone's skirt. ”

"I ......"
