Chapter 283: You Quartet
With the compass out of order and two suns in the sky, how exactly can they find the right direction becomes the problem at the moment.
Moreover, the desert is extremely hot, and there is not much drinking water left for them, and dry food and ammunition are almost running out.
Rakumaru sat on the ground, and as soon as he sat down, he saw the woman in white standing in the distance.
Raimaru raised his hand and said, "I saw it again, there!" Did you see that? ”
As before, no one could see the woman.
Hu Shen looked at the direction that Raimaru was pointing, and then said to Raimaru: "You go up and ask, who she is and what she wants to do." ”
Raimaru got up and slowly walked towards the woman, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. ”
Although Raimaru said so, it was actually himself who was afraid.
The woman saw Raimaru: "My name is Aiqi." ”
Raimaru frowned, turned his head to Hu Shen and the others and said, "She said her name is Aiqi." ”
Tang Anshu said: "Ask her who she is, why can you see her, but we can't see her?" ”
Raimaru informed the woman named Aiqi of the problem.
The woman was silent for a while and said, "You saw me because of an accident, because of the liquid of that plant, originally I didn't belong to the same world as you." ”
Raimaru listened as he slowly repeated Aki's words.
What does it mean not to belong to the same world? Tang Anshu stepped forward and walked to Lei Maru's side: "You let her explain, what does it mean?" ”
Ai Qi could hear Tang Anshu's words: "I can hear his words, I don't need you to paraphrase them." ”
After Raimaru finished speaking to Tang Anshu, Tang Anshu asked directly, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Ai Qi said, "Didn't the person named Tang She already tell you?" ”
Raimaru turned his head to Tang Anshu and said, "She said that a person named Tang She has already told you. ”
Tang Anshu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "That one named Tang She is really from ninety years later?" ”
Ai Qi said: "That's right, his appearance was originally a mistake, so I tried my best to fix this mistake so that you can't see him again, but for some reason, I can't stop you from finding Ling Jian, because it is an unavoidable link." ”
Tang Anshu heard it in a fog, Hu Shen and the others were standing next to him, and they were also puzzled, not knowing what Ai Qi was talking about at all.
Tang Anshu thought for a while and said, "What is a parallel world? ”
Ai Qi explained: "In words that you can understand now, it is other worlds, in that world, there is also a you, but that you are not the current you, nor is it the earth, maybe just ordinary people, such a world exists plus the real world, there are a total of ten, and the world you are in is one of them." ”
Tang Anshu remembered Tang She's explanation - "To put it simply, it is another world that is roughly the same as this world, in that world, there is also me, and you also exist, but you and I in that world may not be the earth and the hunt, just an ordinary person, and we have not experienced these things, but we found that no matter which world, the historical process is roughly the same, and there are also different ways, but behind all this, there seems to be an organization that controls all this, and this organization is called the marginal race." ”
Tang Anshu asked again: "Aiqi, are you the marginal clan that Tang She said?" ”
"That's right, I'm a member of the Marginal Clan. ”
What the hell is going on? Tang Anshu found that this Ai Qi seemed to only answer the questions he already knew, and the questions he didn't understand and wanted to know either didn't answer at all, or answered ambiguously.
When Tang Anshu was about to ask a question, Ai Qi said to Raimaru: "You tell him, don't ask any more questions, I won't answer again, you go in that direction, you can see that tower, there are things you want in the tower, besides, don't go over there, because that side is what you call the Nai He Bridge." ”
After Lei Pill finished speaking, Tang Anshu hurriedly said, "Ask her one last question!" ”
Raimaru said, "He wants to ask you one last question. ”
Ai Qi, who was about to leave, stopped and just looked at Tang Anshu.
Tang Anshu asked: "Tang She said, there is a huge secret, it is hidden in the twelve sects of the heretical way, there are six parts in total, and Ling Jian is one of them, these are also the actions of your marginal clan?" ”
After hearing this, Aiqi didn't speak, but turned around and walked towards the depths of the desert.
Raimaru looked at her departing back and said, "She's gone." ”
Tang Anshu turned his head to look at Hu Shen, who didn't say a word.
After a long time, Hu Shen raised his eyes and said, "She just mentioned Nai He Bridge, right?" ”
Raimaru nodded, "Yes, she mentioned the Naho Bridge." ”
Hu Shen said: "I want to go and see the Nai He Bridge." ”
As he spoke, Hu Shen didn't ask for the opinions of others, and walked straight in the direction of the Nai He Bridge that Ai Qi said.
After walking for about half an hour, everyone saw a place like a small desert village, and there was a huge stone sculpture at the entrance of the village, which looked strange, and all the houses in the village were made of stones.
Luckily, however, they found a source of water, and after replenishing the fresh water, they continued through the deserted stone village, and after climbing a few more hills, they saw the foggy river beach.
Hu Shen looked at the river beach, trembling all over: "Lechuan River? If the Nai He Bridge is here, then this is the Lethe River. ”
Ye Xin grabbed Tang Anshu's arm: "This, isn't this a place where people come after they die?" ”
Tang Anshu shook his head and said: "I'm confused, I don't know what's going on, if you come here, you can go and see what's going on." ”
However, an unexpected situation happened, Hu Shen, Tang Anshu and the others could not step into the rocky beach for half a step, and in front of them it was like a wall of air blocking them.
Zhang Dingfeng went around to other places again, failed many attempts, and finally had to return to Hu Shen and said: "Uncle Shi, there is no way, I can't get by." ”
Hu Shen looked regretful: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "This is already a place that we can't understand. ”
In desperation, everyone had to go in the opposite direction, to the location of the tower that Ai Qi had said.
Along the way, Hu Shen looked back at the rocky beach almost step by step, as if he had clearly walked to the door of the house, but he couldn't go home.
Everyone in the group suppressed their restless emotions, and almost everyone wanted to shout around, curse, and ask what the hell was going on.
This is a kind of suppressed fear, and it is also a kind of unwillingness to be pulled away by others at the moment when it is clearly about to get close to the truth.
As they walked back to the stone village, their feet became heavier and heavier, and their spirits became more and more trance-like, and eventually, they fell one by one.
After the seven people fainted, a man in white appeared at the end of the stone village, and the man in white slowly walked into the fainted people, leaned over to look at their clothes carefully, checked their belongings, and then dragged them one by one into the stone house not far away.
Tang Anshu finally woke up, and the moment he woke up, he saw the old man in white sitting next to him looking at him with wooden eyes, he immediately turned over and got up, looked at the other people who were crooked, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The old man said: "My name is You Sifang, who are you?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "You saved us?" ”
You Sifang said lightly: "I don't want to answer your question, in my memory, it seems that I have answered similar answers many times, but they are all asked by different people." ”
Tang Anshu still asked, "Old man, what kind of place is this?" ”
You Sifang covered his head: "Don't ask anymore, I don't want to answer anymore, I can't leave here, you are also trapped here, I don't know what the hell is going on, I shouldn't have any interest in the origin of the alien path at all." ”
Tang Anshu slowly approached You Sifang: "Senior, you are also a stranger?" ”
You Sifang finally raised his eyes and looked at Tang Anshu: "What?" You too? ”
Tang Anshu nodded and said, "Yes, me too, I am the Earth Minister." ”
You Sifang smiled bitterly: "In this damn place, I have met the person who opened the coffin, and I have been arrested, and now I have even met the earth, I don't know who I will meet in the future, do you want to hear me tell my story?" ”
Tang Anshu looked at the other people who were still asleep: "Senior, I really want to find out what is going on here. ”
You Sifang looked at Tang Anshu: "I don't know, I can only tell you my story and how I got here......"
Then, You Sifang recounted his experience from beginning to end, and during the whole process, his narration was very calm, without the slightest emotion in it, as if he was reciting an article.
(You Sifang's related experiences are not repeated in this book, please refer to the third part of the cross-culture series "Once Upon a Time in the Shaman" and the fourth part of the cross-culture series "The Hunter")
After listening to You Sifang's words, let Tang Anshu know that You Sifang came from ten years after his era, and he couldn't help but think of what Yun Shang said, the words that recorded the past, present, and future history that Lone Army found in the glacier of Kunlun Mountain.
Tang Anshu said: "Soon, Japan will invade us, is this true?" ”
You Sifang was very surprised, and looked at Tang Anshu: "What do you mean?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "Senior, I'm a little confused now, but, before you, I once met a person who claimed to be from the ninety years later, and you were from the ten years after my era. ”
You Sifang looked at Tang Anshu: "What does your era mean?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "The era I live in is the sixteenth year of the Republic of China, but you said that when you came here, it was the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, isn't this exactly ten years behind?" ”
You Sifang smiled bitterly: "I'm also confused, what the hell is going on." ”
Tang Anshu didn't know that Tang She, who claimed to be from ninety years later, had also been here, had seen You Sifang, and heard his story. And the catcher Tang Qianlin mentioned in Tang She's mouth also came here inadvertently decades later.
In other words, this place does not exist and is not fixed in any one era.
But because he couldn't enter the temptation, Tang Anshu couldn't walk up to the Nai He Bridge and saw Hu Shuntang, the coffin opener who was trapped here for an unknown amount of time.
If he met Hu Shuntang, he would naturally know why all this happened and how the world he was in was born.
In this era when the concept of "science and technology" has not yet appeared, Tang Anshu is completely unable to understand what he is experiencing at the moment, and in the midst of the question marks in his head, he has an idea - maybe this is the reason why the ancient people, after being unable to understand these strange places they discovered, defined them as the underworld and the heavenly court according to their own ideas.
And that Edge had mentioned the existence of other worlds, so what did these marginal people want to do?
