There was a slight twisting of the bearings, and an ordinary door was pushed open.

The familiar beds and furnishings came into view, and immediately corresponded to the scene in Tang Juyi's memory.

Tang Juyi, who walked out of the door, was obviously stunned for a moment, then took a few steps back with a suspicious look, closed the door, and opened the door again and walked again.

"My goodness, so amazing?"

With a look of amazement, Tang Juyi couldn't help but turn around and say to the grinning Uncle Chuan:

"Can this door go straight back to reality?"

Uncle Chuan's smile is like an elder looking at a child:

"Yes, that's what makes the Ship of Theseus unique. Once you have the imprint of this ship on you, you can travel back and forth between reality and the extradimensional through this door. ”

Tang Juyi was amazed, and walked back and forth on both sides of the door with interest.

Seeing Tang Juyi's appearance, Uncle Chuan couldn't help laughing:

"I can understand your curiosity, but I have to say that you are stupid now."

Tang Juyi didn't care about Uncle Chuan's jokes, what he cared about was another detail:

"The location...... It seems like this is where I was caught in this extradimensional ......"

Uncle Chuan leaned against the wall, tilted his head and said:

"While this door can lead to the reality you are in, it must be in the same location as the last time you entered the extradimensional, and time will not pass until you close the door completely."

Tang Juyi was puzzled when he heard this:

"Time doesn't pass?"

Uncle Chuan nodded:

"You may not notice that time outside is completely still for you at this point, and you can only move within a meter of the door, and unless you close the door, the pause of time will never return."

Tang Juyi was shocked:

"Is there still such a setting?! Sounds so strong. ”

Uncle Chuan laughed:

"There's so much more to this ship than you can imagine!"

Tang Juyi observed the plain wooden door again, and then retreated into the door and closed the door tightly.

"Where did we go before?"

Tang Juyi recovered from the shock caused by this door called "Node" and looked at Uncle Chuan on the side.

Uncle Chuan lit a poorly made hand-rolled cigarette and took a deep breath:

"Just talking about the way to enter the dimensional world, I mentioned the use of 'nodes' by the way, and then you happily played with the door panel."

Tang Juyi rubbed his hands slightly embarrassed:

"Excuse me, you continue to ......"

Uncle Chuan lit a cigarette ash:

"The Sea of Oblivion beyond is not just a sea, hidden beneath the surface of the sea is a collection of entrances to countless dimensional worlds. Generally speaking, the way to take on the dimension mission is to jump into the sea. ”

Tang Juyi also understood at this time:

"So, when you cleared the field before, you threw those eliminated people into the sea, but you actually forced them to go on the second dimensional mission?"

Uncle Chuan was a little surprised:

"My brain is spinning fast. That's right, because the entrance to the dimensional world below the surface of the sea has an uncontrollable randomness, so if they don't have the imprint of this ship on their bodies, theoretically they won't return to the ship even if they complete their mission. ”

Tang Juyi nodded, and then asked his doubts:

"So, under what circumstances would you passively accept dimensional tasks?"

Uncle Chuan shook his head:

"No, there won't be any compulsion for the next dimension missions other than the first time. As long as you are not willing to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, then there are no external factors that will force you to carry out the mission. ”

This sentence made Tang Juyi very strange:

"If that's the case, then there's no reason for the detached to go on a mission? You can always eat and die on this ship, right? ”

Uncle Chuan's cigarette burned out, and he also casually snuffed out the spark of the cigarette butt, revealing an uneasy smile:

"You wouldn't do that unless you wanted to die."

Without waiting for Tang Juyi to speak, Uncle Chuan continued:

"You can open your status bar and see if there is a new column in the row below your health. I think you'll understand after reading it. ”

Tang Juyi didn't know why, but he still checked his status bar as Uncle Chuan said, and sure enough, he saw the new line of data.

[Lifespan: 10 natural days]

At this moment, Tang Juyi's face changed.

"These 10 calendar days shouldn't mean—"

Tang Juyi had an ominous premonition.

Uncle Chuan happily continued:

"That means you only have ten days left before you die, that is, two hundred and forty hours."

There was silence.

Tang Juyi looked at Uncle Chuan's eyes and found that the latter didn't seem to be joking, so his heart was even heavier.

"Can't figure it out, huh? I didn't understand ...... at first."

Uncle Chuan lit another cigarette.

But then I came to understand...... It's a no-choice trade. From an extradimensional perspective, it gives us unimaginable opportunities, and at the cost of it, it robs us of something else. ”

"Each time you complete a dimensional task, you will gain a certain amount of [Life], and as you become stronger and the difficulty of the task gradually increases, the amount of Lifespan you gain will also increase."

In the smoke, Tang Juyi's face was cloudy.

"The time spent in the dimensional world does not count towards the [lifespan], only the time you spend in the extradimensional and the real world counts towards the calculation."

After Uncle Chuan said this, he also took a big puff of cigarette.

Tang Juyi suddenly asked:

"What happens if life goes to zero?"

Uncle Chuan slowly spit out a cloud of smoke:

"Erase all traces of your existence in this world. Whether it's a text with your name on it or a photograph with your image on it, it's gone. Of course, your body and mind are naturally included. ”

At this time, Uncle Chuan's eyes faintly showed a sad look:

"The only thing that proves you have ever existed is the memories in other people's minds. What's even more ridiculous is that these memories tend to dissipate over time. ”

Uncle Chuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground suddenly, then ran it over with his foot several times, patted Tang Juyi's shoulder and said:

"So, try to live, boy! Don't let yourself be left with only the shadow of someone else's memory! ”

Tang Juyi lowered his head, and looked at Uncle Chuan with resentment for a long time:

"Is it really okay to throw cigarette butts in someone else's room while saying such a middle two breath full of words?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Uncle Chuan, who was already in the posture of a standard "life mentor", directly choked and coughed, completely unexpectedly that Tang Juyi's focus would be on "throwing cigarette butts everywhere".

"I said, can you feel a little bit of urgency? Don't you have any awareness of being a junior? ”

Uncle Chuan had an expression of hatred on his face.

Tang Juyi pouted and said:

"After being pointed out as a mistake, I can't save face......"

Uncle Chuan's remaining words were blocked in his chest, and he couldn't say them for a long time, and finally got up from his chair rather depressed, turned around and walked outside:

"I'll go and breathe, and when your consciousness is raised, come to me to understand the effect of dimensional points."

Tang Juyi's eyes lit up:

"Don't! Uncle! Seniors and slow! ”

Uncle Chuan's footsteps stopped suddenly, turned his head, and showed an expression of "why bother in the first place" if you knew it was like this:

"Enlightened?"

Tang Juyi rushed forward with an arrow step and directly grabbed Uncle Chuan's arm:

"Senior, if you have something to say, don't you have a conversation about enlightenment or something......"

While speaking, Tang Juyi kicked away the two cigarette butts on the ground with his foot, and said with a smile:

"You sit, you sit. Just treat this place as your home, feel free. ”

Looking at Tang Juyi's shyly smile, Uncle Chuan vaguely had the illusion that "this kid is quite good".

With a "hum", Uncle Chuan sat back on the chair and put on a big posture:

"It's a bit of an intellectual curiosity."

Tang Juyi's chick pecked the rice and nodded:

"Uncle Chuan is right, I was too ignorant before."

Seeing that the shelf was almost there, Uncle Chuan also cleared his throat:

"So, first of all, I'll explain to you how to use Dimension Points."

"First, for transactions between detached people. Second, it is used to exchange some special resources with the 'messenger'. ”

Tang Juyi nodded and listened very carefully.

"You can't get to the deal between the transcendents yet, so you can wait until the next mission to find out. As for the method of exchanging resources with the 'messenger', it is also very simple, you only need to silently recite the word 'exchange' in your mind in any area of the extradimension. ”

After saying this, Uncle Chuan also looked like he was watching a good show:

"Try it?"

Tang Juyi concentrated his attention in disbelief and silently recited "exchange".

In an instant, the majestic flow of information rushed in like a floodgate opening.
