The strange sound echoed in the researcher's head, reminding him of the sound of a train passing through a tunnel, or like dozens of double basses playing out of tune, dull and heart-pounding. It seems that not every researcher can hear this sound, and those who hear it think that the reason may be that they are too close to the LCL, but in reality, it is difficult to tell if the sound is actually coming from behind the glass wall.

Even if they escaped the pursuit of the darkness, most of the surviving researchers fell into a trance at this time, and the people who could respond had already stood up, of course they were tired and frightened, and their extremely strong and complex emotions could not be calmed down, like a fire that was burning more and more, desperately squeezing every bit of energy out of their bodies. They were mentally prepared for the anomalies of themselves and others, and even then, when the actual situation developed as they thought, they still could not come up with a practical solution to stop it. They can only move away from their peers who have become clearly mentally abnormal, and move closer to those who are not overtly sick.

Although researchers approaching the glass wall claimed to have heard strange noises, which was a fairly obvious sign, it was at least much better than the rest of their companions who had fallen into a trance. Others don't really want to know what their companion heard, after all, whatever the other person hears, it will not end well, as has been proven countless times in the past. Being able to hear voices that no one else can hear is inherently a manifestation of mental illness.

Even so, the rest of the people who were still awake for the time being walked towards him.

"Are you alright?" Someone asked.

"No, it's okay...... Maybe ......," the researcher said, his mind bothered by the strange sound that didn't stop. The sound had neither a clear rhythm nor a proper key, and while it was reminiscent of a train in a tunnel and the sound of a double bass, it was a world away from the two sounds.

The voice grew sharper and more monotonous, and became a child who was not even a beginner, blowing every syllable of the soprano flute with all his might. For a moment, the researcher felt like his eardrums were going to be pierced by this strange, shrill sound. But he looked at his companions who had gathered towards him, and realized that they probably didn't hear the voice at all.

The voice became clearer and clearer, as if it penetrated his body and went deep into his heart, making his mind tremble that had been forcibly supporting his "self". He couldn't resist the sound, he could hear it even if he covered his ears, it didn't travel through the air, but more like something that came naturally when he was thinking, in the process of that thought—the voice had always been here, just the feeling that he had always ignored in the past.

It is a part of one's own thinking, a part of one's own spirit, the deepest part of one's own thinking, one of the cornerstones of the "self", and the reason why I am myself now is the most critical and the most secret "thread" that connects all the factors.

This researcher only thinks that he has gone crazy to have such thoughts, is his self-perception actually built on the basis of non-self factors? Huge philosophical questions, which can neither be answered nor ignored, are being turned from a huge fantasy into a reality that cannot be ignored.

All the things that we think "do not exist" and "do not affect ourselves" actually exist, in fact, they have been affecting themselves, but they have not been able to observe them in the past, and when they are observed, the cognition of their own existence that has been built up on the basis of "unobserved" in the past is collapsing in the face of this new factor that has always existed but is perceived for the first time.

He felt someone shaking him, someone talking loudly in his ear, but everything else he felt was blurry except for his own thoughts. He had no time to think about it, desperately trying to rebuild his self-perception, to include that thing that suddenly appeared in front of him, which could not be expressed in words, but which was actually affecting himself, or rather, had been affecting him all along. He felt himself collapsing, and he seemed to be able to feel every detail of his collapse, like glass shattering and slag falling in slow motion video. The so-called "who you are and what you are" is such a thing as thin and fragile as glass.

The painful change in this researcher was seen by others who were still awake for the time being. Although this change does not seem rapid to those who have experienced it, and all the changes that occur in the rotation of the mind are a process that is clear enough to be remembered for the purpose, to those who observe him, the changes are astonishingly fast.

Maybe not even "ten seconds". The researcher, who claimed to have "heard strange noises", was already clutching his head in agony, and his whole spirit seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

But none of the people who were awake but him could hear it, and none wanted to know what it was.

"Flute...... The flute is playing...... In that closed world, in that limited unknown...... "The researcher suddenly raised his head, his face was hideous, his eyeballs almost fell out of his sockets, stared at everyone who came up, and shouted: "I saw it, I saw it!" The boundaries of the universe, the closure of the universe! The unknown is limited, science will come to an end, and we will know all the secrets of this world! No one can stop us! We will be able to conquer all unknowns...... No...... No! It shouldn't be like this! ”

Contradictory emotions, contradictory words, in that frantic shout, make the awake person feel a kind of madness and hysteria in which the cells of the whole body tremble, and no one understands why this companion is saying this, and it is not clear what he is trying to express. I only heard the crazy whisper like a mental patient, which became blurred in the saliva flying, the crazy person curled up his tongue, his facial features were also squeezed, and the whole person's movements were like being under an invisible pressure, squeezed inward by this huge pressure, and even the bones began to deform.

It is an indescribable posture that feels extremely painful just by seeing it, and absolutely no one would do such an action at a normal time, even if it is mentally abnormal, the body physiology will warn against such a painful action. However, the researcher's body twisted more and more, his neck twisted to the point where it looked like it would break at any moment, tilting his head, and in this distorted posture and painful expression, there was an indescribable evil that made everyone who saw it shiver all over his body.

"Haha...... Haha......" He uttered from his nose and throat, like gasping for breath, as if laughing, "God exists, and God knows and omnipotence has always existed...... We used to think it didn't exist, but we were part of it. ”

"What the hell are you talking nonsense?" Someone trembled and argued, but the terrifying posture of the companion in front of him made this refutation seem weak.

"We are all saying that if we keep learning, we will eventually be able to understand everything, and our science will solve all the unknown mysteries in this world." By this time, the researcher's voice became clearer, and his painful expression gradually eased, and he seemed to have no feeling for his awkward posture, but just looked at everyone with a pitying expression: "Our science has limited a closed universe, limited the unknown quantity, we believe that everything has a foundation, there is a basic root, we have discovered the fundamental force, conceived the most basic unit of things, we want to find the formula that runs through everything, A theory of unity to depict this closed world. But we never thought that if we could do such a thing, why should we be the only one who could do it? ”

All the researchers who were still conscious looked at the companion with an unbearable gaze, and they knew that he was about to die.

"No, don't look at me like that. Come...... Come...... Come...... Let me tell you a secret, the biggest secret of this world......" The posture was distorted, and the whole person was compressed into a ball, revealing puffy facial features, and the researchers giggled and said to them: "Yes, we are right, the universe is closed, in this closed system, the unknown is limited, everything is solved." However, before the advent of human beings, in the primeval era that was much earlier than the formation of the Milky Way, in the time when the universe was just formed, a great being was born. It was born before us, it loves to learn, it is smart, it has an eternal lifespan, it also tries to solve all the mysteries of this world just like us, it turns all the unknowns into its own known, and then ...... And guess what? His voice grew softer, and a sad emotion came from his distorted expression, which made the hearts of everyone who listened tremble, and suddenly he cried out, "It has succeeded!" It succeeded before the birth of mankind, when galaxies were just born, and it is this closed universe, the all-knowing and all-powerful God who sees all the unknown! Time, space, dimension, matter, spirit, thought...... All the planes that we think we are great are only a small part of it, it knows everything, it is at the top of this unknown and finite world, there is no higher level beyond this top level, there is no unknown outside of what it knows! ”

"Are you proving that God exists?" One researcher couldn't help but say.

"If human science can explain everything, then God, who has long understood everything, naturally exists. If man can be God, then how can you say that there was no God before man? Are we such a special being? Do you think we're special? Wasn't there a being above us who was wise above us? Are we the only ones who can overcome the obstacles and reach the final destination? The crazy and twisted researcher said, "But I'm not trying to prove it. Because, my answer is: yes, we are special, human beings are special! God existed before mankind, but, after God, only we can be omniscient and omnipotent! ”

The other listeners wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say, to say that their companion was delirious, but they couldn't help but want to hear the crazy babble again.

"Why am I so sure? Because I saw it. The frenzied and twisted researcher gave an obsessive and reverent expression, "I see that we are part of God." The first born being, the first being to solve all mysteries, the all-knowing and all-powerful God, no matter how the universe changes, is always at the center of this closed system, in this finite unknown. We think we are who we are, but in fact, we are only a part of it, and because we are a part of it, we will be unstoppable, we will be omniscient, and the death we see is not death, our existence is eternal because it is eternal, and we are only part of it, constantly changing. We think we are ignorant, but we already know it—it's in our body, in our soul, it's part of our cognitive self. ”

"Enough! That's enough! Say no more! "One researcher covered his ears as if he had heard some profane language, and his face changed dramatically.

"No, I have to tell you! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, what is painful is only appearance, what dies is only movement, it is always there, we will live forever, my death today is my rebirth today. I'm going to re-release myself and be a part of it! With that, he looked at all those who looked at him and cried out as if proclaiming, "We are all part of it!" Our ego exists only in the dream of the All-Knowing and Almighty, and there is no higher than it, because the unknown is limited! Science will solve all mysteries! This is the embodiment of its omniscience. ”

The frenzied and twisted researcher let out a bitter shrill laugh that in turn seemed to turn into the whirring of some kind of monster, and soon became blurred, as if it were not a real sound, but just an auditory hallucination. His distorted body was dissolving, his silhouette blurred, no longer human, and soon it seemed to melt into the air, and his presence faded. Someone reached out in disbelief to touch it, but the mark that remained in the air shattered at the touch, like a small whirlwind, and then dispersed in a whirl.

In the end, nothing was left in the same place. The researcher's flesh and clothing, all the things that could be touched and observed, had vanished without a trace.
