Chapter 580 The Shadow in the Shadows
"Calm, calm, don't get excited." Leng Jing smiled.
"This ...... It's incredible. The shock on Zhenhuang's face still did not abate.
"Understood, because I was surprised at first, I didn't expect that big clock to have such a special effect."
"If people in reality can see us, in their eyes, are we fast-forwarding?"
"People in reality can't see things in the mirror world."
"I'm just making an analogy."
"If I had to use this analogy, it should be like this. In the eyes of people in the real world, our actions, behaviors, and all changes are fast-forwarding. However, in the mirror world, we are not speeding up, and we do not feel anything speeding up. It's subtle, it's hard to explain, or it's impossible to explain at all. ”
"It's unbelievable, so you've lived in the mirror world for ten years, but it's only been ten days outside?"
"Exactly."
"Ten years? What have you done in the past 10 years? Zhenhuang said curiously.
"On the fifth day of the apocalypse, I hid in a very secret basement and locked all the entrances and exits, and then I activated my ability and entered the world in the mirror. First of all, I spent more than a year training hard, learning martial arts and weapons through books and CDs, but because there was no actual combat, there were some routines in the tricks. But it doesn't matter, at least the body does get stronger. In about two years, my strength has increased from 10 to about 200. ”
"So you've already had a strength of 200?"
"Yes, at that time, I was 16 years old. Later, I continued to work hard, but found my bottleneck. No matter how hard I try, it's hard to grow in strength. I worked hard for another half a year, and my strength increased by less than 10, and the further I went, the harder it became to grow. ”
"But you're strong enough at that point, aren't you? You came out of the mirror world directly, shouldn't you be the first in the world? ”
"That's how it should be. If you think about it, it was the night of the 7th day of the end of the world, but I couldn't leave the mirror world as much as I wanted. Leng Jing replied.
"Why is that?"
"Next to the big bell in the lake, there is a large stone tablet with instructions engraved on it. The clock can speed up the time up to 365 times faster, and the year here becomes a real-world day. However, once you adjust to this multiple, you must stay in the mirror world for ten years. ”
"Why do you have to stay for 10 years?"
"I don't know, it's engraved like this. And it's true, after adjusting the time, I can't remove the ability. Unless I am killed in reality, my ability cannot be removed. ”
"I see, by the way, what if you starve to death in reality? After all, it's ten days without eating or drinking. ”
"Where did I think of so much at the time, it was really thrilling to say, I came back to reality after ten years in the mirror world. In reality, I haven't eaten or drunk for ten days, and I've been dying of hunger for a long time, but fortunately there is food and mineral water next to me, otherwise I would have really starved to death. ”
"It's good that you're a new human, if you were an ordinary person, you would have starved to death a long time ago."
"It's pretty much the same, but it has something to do with the fact that I don't move. After all, without action, the physical energy consumption will be very slow. ”
"By the way, are there any other multiples?" Zhenhuang continued to wonder.
"Yes, there are 365 times, 60 times, 30 times, 24 times, 12 times, and 7 times."
"Do these values have any special meaning?"
"Of course there is, why don't you guess?" Leng Jing smiled.
Zhenhuang thought it was interesting, so she used her brain and planned to guess it.
After thinking for a few minutes, Zhenhuang showed a sudden realization expression: "I know, 60 times corresponds to an hour, and an hour here corresponds to a minute in the real world." 30 times corresponds to the number of days in January, where a month corresponds to a day in the real world. 24 times corresponds to the time of day, where 24 hours is equal to one hour in the real world. 12 times, that must correspond to the month of the year, and a year here is equal to a month in the real world. As for 7 times, it must correspond to a week, that is, one week here, which is equal to one day in the real world. ”
"That's right, exactly."
"So, why don't you choose a different grade? Do you have to choose a grade of 365 times? ”
"Because there is a very important rule written on the stone tablet, that is, each person can only withstand a maximum of 3 time adjustments, so it must be used with caution. If this number is exceeded, the consciousness will sink into subspace and collapse into particles. ”
"How does it sound like I will never be born."
"That's a funny analogy." Leng Jing smiled.
"Then I understand you, because the number of times is limited, so you chose the longest time limit, in order to be able to become strong enough to crush all the enemies."
"That's right, if you want to choose, you have to choose the biggest, and being strong enough is the last word, that's what I thought at the time. However, I ignored the bottleneck issue. And I was alone at the time, I didn't have an opponent, so it was very difficult for me to break through myself, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't improve anymore. ”
"And then? What about 8 years left? How did you get through? ”
"It was a bad day, I was the only one in the world. I was lost for more than a year, during which time I played video games, watched TV shows, and traveled everywhere. That's when I discovered that I had the ability to make things. But only if I have to understand it, and the deeper I understand it, the more it will be made. ”
"Aren't you a jack of all trades?"
"Yes, I have learned most of the knowledge in the world, and I have learned it in various ways. I knew how to build tanks, airplanes, even the principles of generators, the operation of waterworks, etc., I learned everything I had to learn. That uncontrollable curiosity prompted me to create a private scene that I liked, which you can also interpret as a copy. ”
"So the labyrinth world, the big beach, you made it yourself."
"That's right, there are a few blank places in the mirror world, and I used these places as a base to create a city, a big beach, a prairie, and my most proud work, the labyrinth world."
"Isn't the maze world particularly interesting?"
"That can't be said, the Labyrinth Realm was specially created by me to trap the enemy, and once trapped, it is not so fun. If this IQ is not enough, if you are trapped for ten days and half a month, you will basically be as weak as a dead person. ”
"So that's the case, because you have encountered a bottleneck, your strength cannot continue to improve, so you specially went to create a maze realm." For the first time, Zhenhuang became so thoughtful.
"That's right, I don't have to go head-to-head with the enemy, I can defeat the enemy in other ways."
"By the way, then why don't you create a huge cage and just seal the enemy away?"
"That's not going to work. Because once you make something closed, I can't get in. For example, now, I can freely switch between four replicas, and that's because there is no closure. There must be an entrance and exit in order to switch freely. ”
"You mean, you can switch our environment to the Labyrinth Realm?"
"That's right. Let me explain to you the spatial transfer ability that I have in the mirror world. The first one is the Cloud Gate, which can connect four copies and the mirror world, and anyone who enters the Cloud Gate will be transferred to a specific scene. The second is switching, which directly switches the scene at will. However, there is a downside to this, and that is that I choose and control who is transferred. For example, if Misitu and you are in the same scene now, I can only use the Cloud Gate to let you in in order to save you. If I use the scene switch, Misitu and you, as well as everyone present, will move on to the next scene......" Leng Jing said as he spoke, suddenly noticing Zhenhuang's puzzled face, and asked, "Do you not understand a little?" ”
"I can barely understand a little, but I don't seem to understand it very thoroughly."
"Let me give you an analogy. For example, there are red beans in a plate of mung beans, and when I switch scenes, all the mung beans and red beans are transferred, and the location has not changed. And if I want to keep the red beans and only move the green beans, then I have to get the green beans into the cloud gate. So you can understand? ”
"Uh-huh, I see, that's the case, so you're not doing whatever you want in the mirror world?"
"Yes, when I encounter a more difficult enemy, I will use all kinds of illusions, scene transitions, and some techniques to attack the heart and make it break down inside. If a person truly believes that I am the god of the mirror world, then this person is under my control. ”
"But Misitu didn't fall for it, did he?"
"Well, he's a little smarter than the average person, and he can break my illusion and catch my flaws. But it doesn't matter, no matter how smart he is, he can't get out of the maze realm. ”
"Are we going to stay in the mirror world for a while?" Zhenhuang asked.
"That's right, stay a little longer, it's better to wait until ten days later, Misitu will be very weak even if he doesn't starve to death."
"Then why don't we go to the lake bell and adjust the time, so that people in the real world don't have to worry too much, they only need to wait a little time to know the answer."
"No, because there is another rule on the stele, that is, when I want to adjust the time multiple, there will be no more than three people in the mirror world, otherwise the mirror world will collapse and disappear due to time and space chaos." Leng Jing explained.
"It's so terrifying, so wouldn't it be dangerous if the enemy knew about the big bell in the lake?"
"No, no one else can find the big bell in the lake, and even if they do, it doesn't matter, only I can adjust the time multiple."
"Only you can adjust it?"
"Well, that's what I said above, this mirror world exists because of me, changes because of me, and only I, as the master, can adjust the time multiple."
"It's weird, have you ever wondered why there is a time clock? Why is there an inscription? ”
"I thought about it too, but I couldn't find any answers, so I left it at that."
"It's weird, your abilities are so weird, beyond what humans can understand." Zhenhuang still felt incredible.
"yes, I think so too......" Leng Jing paused suddenly.
Zhenhuang saw that Leng Jing's expression was a little weird, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Chastity...... Zhenhuang, why? Leng Jing's eyes widened, and he seemed to notice something strange.
"What, why?" Zhenhuang felt a little inexplicable.
"Why is your shadow so long, all the way to the door?"
