Chapter 35: Distant Stardust

Yang Qingnan squinted and lay down on the backrest, just see this first, he felt that his mind was in chaos, and he still couldn't face all this seriously.

At some point, Runo was gone, and the door locked automatically, leaving the entire data room feeling empty.

Yang Qingnan stood up and stretched, then went out the door and walked to the right, coming to a relatively large area.

The entire space is divided into the upper and lower sides, with a drop in between. There are no lights here, the metallic floor and the fluorescent pattern on the top are intertwined, and several rows of indicators are constantly flickering like stars, and a light and hazy feeling arises. There was such a high-tech place in this cave, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was still dreaming.

Lu Nuo stood at the front of this area, and in front of him stood three blue light screens, which displayed data information that Yang Qingnan couldn't understand at all.

"Have you finished reading?" It was as if Runo had sensed his presence.

"Well, there's just something I can't figure out." Yang Qingnan leaned directly on the portside, "I find your clan really interesting, but I don't understand why you can't get along with us." ”

Lu Nuo turned to face him, the entire crimson uniform was lit up with a faint linear light, and Yang Qingnan couldn't see what emotion his face had.

"In order to live in this environment, we have to have a long period of adaptation, and early contact with humans can be very troublesome. On the other hand, you humans also hinder and reject us to a greater or lesser extent, with jealousy and fear being the main reasons. On the friendly side, you have jumped into the circle of the technological information age, and some high-level officials are also trying to get in touch with us. ”

"Then ......"

"But the result is not satisfactory, they imprisoned the captured demons in the basement, secretly conducting research and experiments, resulting in many of our compatriots being implicated, and it has become the norm to make trouble everywhere. And that's not the worst of it, as far as I know, some of the ShadowClan, who hate humanity so much, have infiltrated the crowd, forming the world's worst reactionary alliance and secretly planning to destroy humanity. ”

"It sounds scary, but what's the matter with me?"

"Yes, maybe none of this will happen, because any race is afraid of being alone, of being one of the most insignificant particles in the vast universe."

"Why am I getting more and more incomprehensible?"

"It's okay if you don't understand, I can take you to experience it for yourself." With that, Runo walked towards a black, cold "coffin".

Yang Qingnan was suddenly shocked, what he was afraid of was not the coffin, but the self lying inside.

"How? You don't have to imagine what it's like to be weightless in space, because you'll experience it in no time. He opened the heavy, translucent hatch, and the person inside vanished, "There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a mirror." ”

Yang Qingnan was a little relieved, and according to the instructions, he carefully entered the gravity cabin, relaxed his whole body, and slowly adjusted his breathing rate. The hatch closed, the astigmatism zone ceased to function, and the scene before his eyes turned black, as if a black cloth had been put over his head.

He flailed his hands and feet, but his body floated, and he seemed to be at the bottom of the sea, because he couldn't breathe, but all his senses were still normal.

Faintly, he heard a sonar-like sound, a low-frequency sound wave that would normally be impossible for him to receive. However, the continuous sound wave collided with him and bounced back at the same frequency, a small glimmer in the direction it came.

Yang Qingnan, who longed for light, tried to paddle forward, and pedaled the water with his feet, and after a long search, he realized that there was no water around him at all, and the distance between him and the light was not shortened. Instead, the glimmer was approaching him, a round turquoise object that grew stronger and brighter and brighter and whiter than the surrounding fog.

One stardust, two stardust...... More stardust appeared in the sky, and the decaying world was exposed.

Yang Qingnan could clearly see the desolate Gobi Desert beneath his feet, the scaly dust on the surface drifting in the air, and the tall orange-red rocks protruding like spikes. Then, his body slowly descended, and his feet felt very solid on the ground, but there was a fragile cold feeling.

He silently looked down, and the transparent ground reflected his light cyan face, it turned out that he had really stepped on a mirror that had no cracks, and the thickness of this mirror was incalculable. Yang Qingnan imagined the scene when the ground suddenly cracked and he accidentally fell, and his hairs couldn't help but stand on end.

The largest stardust was still in front of me, and it looked the same all around, but at the end was a bottomless black cloud. He didn't know where to go, and following the stardust might be a good choice.

After walking for more than forty steps, Yang Qingnan walked about five meters, and the light of the stardust faded, and it disappeared into the curtain-like sky, or mixed with the stars, anyway, he couldn't tell which one was which.

Soon, he noticed a change in one of them, it had turned into a crimson half-moon shape, and the red light was more dazzling than any stardust. The soles of his feet felt the heat spreading, as if a fire had risen below, and the dust in the air had melted into tiny sol particles, and there were more hole-like spouts on the surface, and the scorching white smoke slowly rose up, obscuring his vision. Fortunately, the calories were not too large, and Yang Qingnan did not feel any discomfort.

The red stardust of the half moon remained unchanged from the previous position, and he continued to walk forward.

After walking for a while, Yang Qingnan inexplicably felt a little thirsty, he approached a small fountain and drank water with both hands, but what he received was not pure transparent water, but gray heavy water, which may contain minerals and toxic substances.

He immediately gave up the idea of drinking water, and as he walked further, the bright stardust suddenly disappeared, and the sky was pitch black. Yang Qingnan looked up and searched for it, and after a long time, he finally found a faint azure star.

It is alone suspended in the empty universe, losing its original light, like a mortal star abandoned by God. Yang Qingnan's eyes widened to see it, he felt like this helpless star, trying to emit a glimmer of light to illuminate the world, without asking for anything in return, nor asking for himself to be buried in the stars.

Yes, it has always existed, so that the world will always know that it exists. Yang Qingnan, who was meditating, floated up again and flew towards the star, did he want to turn into a speck of dust?

The closed hatch opened, a large amount of air poured in from the outside, and Yang Qingnan half sat and breathed heavily.

"Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable? Runo next to him asked.

"Uh, no." He just felt like his head was stuffed with a mess and a little dizzy.

"The response was not bad."

"Is that your world? It doesn't look like a living person. He slowly came out of the cabin, "And what do those three stardust represent?" ”

Runo put his hands behind his back, his face became serious, and he said, "They are the sun, moon, and stars of our world, and the other stars are imaginary based on your night sky. As you can see, the environment wasn't too bad at that time. ”

"Oh, so is there anyone else now?"

"I haven't been back for a long time, it's hard to say, and of course, it's going to take a long and painful process to transform."

A heavy metal partition on the ground opens, and a long gilt platform is slowly raised, with a groove in the center, and the three colors of green, red and blue correspond to the three shapes.

"Huh? This is ......" Yang Qingnan was stunned on the spot.
