The vague voice of the heart could not be heard at all, but Xiaomei could vaguely understand it, it was an instruction, a call, like whispering through a thick blanket. When Xiaomei doesn't try to find the sound to come out, when she doesn't speculate about its origin, it keeps telling the story, and once she tries to find it, it will seem farther and farther away. Xiaomei didn't know exactly what it was directing, but since she couldn't locate and execute the branch construction of the engineering component herself, why not try this voice guide?

Xiaomei doesn't take this inexplicable, hallucinatory voice for granted, something friendly, but she has to choose between accepting this guidance and rejecting it. The problem is that there are too many things that cannot be done on your own.

Ordinary people just don't have to do what they can't do, and most of the time, there is no reason why they have to do it. Giving up is an extremely common and easy choice for ordinary people, and basically it will not cause much trouble to their survival and life. However, like the occult experts, especially those who survived the apocalypse, just like Xiaomei herself, there will inevitably be a pressure of "you can't do it yourself".

The mysterious expert who gave up casually has long since died. The living Mystical Expert, as if chosen, must possess certain similar qualities in character and spirit.

Xiaomei can't ignore this strange voice no matter what, even if this strange voice is a malicious one. Let it go, even if you take this voice as a malicious intent and ignore it, can you stay out of it? Such innocence no longer existed when Xiaomei stepped into this battlefield and had to face all kinds of doom and death.

All the kindness and malice directed at oneself is by no means an accident, nor is it something that can be avoided by subjectively withdrawing from oneself.

Xiaomei sat down on the ground, leaning her back against the wall of the passageway, quietly listening to the voice in her heart that did not belong to her, not to seek the truth of this voice, but simply to let go of her mental and spiritual guards—whether subjective or subconscious—and let it become clearer in her mind.

- This way.

It seemed that she couldn't hear it clearly, but Xiaomei could feel the meaning she wanted to express from the long list of whispers. A less clear route arose in her mind, and when she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but look in that direction.

It turned out to be his own way.

In other words, have you missed it?

Xiaomei stood up, carrying a magic staff that glowed slightly, and walked back in the direction of the guide. After walking less than ten steps, she suddenly realized that there was a door beside her. When she passed by here before, she didn't notice at all, no, she rubbed her temples, and thought that there was no such door here. Although she has been alone for a long time and the mental pressure has accumulated to a certain extent, she will never ignore these small details.

She became more and more sure that there was no door in this place, not even a hidden door. There is no record of this door, either in person and in the sights it sees, or in the materials kept in the database. So, in fact, it's not that I'm ignoring it, but that my own voice is centered on myself and exuding some kind of mysterious power?

Even so, Xiaomei didn't find anything in the outline of this door that could be opened. There are no locks, no handles, no tracks that can be opened on the surface, and it looks more like a shallow carved texture, and the reason why it is called a "door" is simply because the outline is rectangular and looks like a camouflaged door.

She had a strong feeling that the execution engineering component construction was right behind the door. She had already felt that the branch construction of the executive engineering component was in this area, but she couldn't use her senses to pinpoint the exact target. But whether you are close to the goal, whether you are closer to the goal, can clearly feel it. Of course, she didn't have any evidence that what she was looking for was in this position, but if she wanted to find evidence, it should be for the detective, not a mysterious expert like her.

Intuition tells her what to do, and intuition is never wrong. Anything that is done by feeling alone, even by feeling for no reason, is often the right thing. The probability that the occult expert's intuition is accurate is as high as 99 percent, and the remaining one percent often indicates the arrival of the occult expert's own death.

Now, intuition is also telling the magical girl Xiaomei what to do. This intuition was blending with the voice of the non-self, and Xiaomei began to feel that they were gradually becoming one and the same.

The murmur that came straight to my head became louder and began to become irritating, just like when I was sleeping, there were always mosquitoes buzzing in my ears, and I couldn't get rid of them even if I waved my hand to catch them.

It was in this irritating voice that Xiaomei waved her magic staff according to her feelings, without superfluous thoughts. She just obeyed this feeling, but she couldn't understand what she had done, and there was no mysterious power on the magic staff, and there was no power surging in her body, as if she was waving her hand meaninglessly. However, the outline of the scenic-like door in front of her immediately recessed inward as soon as she did so, slowly creeping into the wall beside her.

The entrance appeared. Xiaomei took a deep breath and didn't investigate what really happened in the process. What she was looking for was inside, and she felt her feelings becoming more definite. It seems that something was close to us, but it seems to be separated by some kind of obstacle, and even if it is close at hand, the exact location of the barrier is rapidly dissolving.

Inside, directly ahead...... Xiaomei stood in front of the open door, and it was pitch black in front of her, and even if she released the light with the help of the standard magic staff, she couldn't let the light penetrate half of it. This strange dark phenomenon is undoubtedly frightening, Xiaomei can't say that she is not afraid at all, but thinking about those companions around her, thinking about the senior sister who suddenly disappeared, thinking about Xiaomei who is far away in the London repeater, and her relatives who have died, there is a new courage injected into her body.

- There is no better choice.

With a resolute thought, she stepped into the darkness behind the door.

Xiaomei imagined what was in this darkness, but she didn't actually feel half a second of darkness. When you look in from the outside, you can't see anything, but once you step inside, you don't even see the slightest change in light. Only the field of vision widened suddenly, the width of the passage was only ten meters, most of them were angular, hard and cold scenes made of metal, but at this time, what opened in front of Xiaomei's eyes was a huge hall with a length and width of more than a hundred meters, and the style of the hall was something she had never seen on this ship.

In the cosmic joint test fleet, most things have a hard and bright luster, and some fresh functions are completely full of artificial atmosphere, which makes people directly have an imagination of being in the future. When human society was still functioning normally, those high-tech movies were often like this. Even after the transformation of "Sha", this style has not been replaced by the style of the ruling bureau, but only mixed together. However, whether it is the high-tech future of human science fiction movies or the unique style of the construction materials of the Ruling Bureau, they are all different from the style of the hall you see in front of you.

It can be clearly said that the sense of time and the sense of place are very different.

When Xiaomei saw all this, she only felt as if she had entered a place where time had stood still, and everything gave people an extremely thick and gloomy feeling, making people feel that the things here should not appear in a cosmic joint test fleet at all, but in some fantasy castle. Xiaomei doesn't think it's the design of "Sha", but maybe it was when the earth left the factory, and the human designers used a little bit of play? Judging by the form of the door alone, there is no doubt that it is a "hidden room".

However, although the overall feeling is heavy and gloomy, the large color blocks are all deep cold colors, the most are red, yellow, and blue, and each thing has very complicated strokes and patterns, but to say what these things are, Xiaomei can't say at all. In her old memory, nothing resembled it at all. When entering the hall, people tend to pay attention to the decoration on the surface at first glance, and they will pay special attention to the decoration on the walls and ceilings, and usually there will be lamps, tables and chairs.

However, these things are completely nowhere to be found in this spacious hall. To say that the things she saw were decorations, Xiaomei had a hard time convincing herself. Since it is impossible to describe what these things are, we can only talk about their general structure and outline: they must have never been seen before, and it is impossible to guess their usefulness from their appearance. The structure looks angular and symmetrical, but if you move your foot a little and look at it from different angles, you will find that what you see does not seem to be the same thing.

It's like if you can't look at it at the same time, from a holistic perspective, you can't really understand what it really looks like. Each of its sides is different, but the question is, how many of these "sides" are there? As far as Xiaomei could see, even if she only moved a corner, the appearance of what she saw would change. How many times do you have to move it if you want to record all of its profiles and stitch them together into a complete image? How many angles should you look at?

If it's just an ordinary cup, people only need to pick it up and play with it, and they can put together a complete image of the picture from different perspectives in their minds, but none of the concrete physical things in this room can do this. In other words, Xiaomei's brain, and even the "human brain" she thinks is not supported at all. Even if a machine takes a picture from different angles and synthesizes a complete form through the data, human beings cannot incorporate it into their own brains to understand it, and even if it is presented in a flat way, when people see it, what they can understand is definitely not what these things really are.

Xiaomei racked her brains to understand what she was seeing, but except that this was a "hall", the various colors in the hall, and the overall atmosphere, none of the more detailed situations could be described in words, and she also found something similar to it from her imagination. Therefore, she is still in an inexplicable unknown, she has seen it with her own eyes, but she can't understand what she has seen.

The gloomy color looked like it was flowing when she was in a trance. Maybe it really flowed, Xiaomei couldn't tell, but she clearly saw that there were huge complex rings floating from this color. What kind of angle does it emerge from, Xiaomei can't describe it in words, she can't understand the process she sees, the closest description to this movement in her mind is "floating", but in fact, "up" is not a description of the direction, but just a feeling.

Only "floating" is slightly more accurate, but not entirely accurate.

All in all, the huge complex rings emerge from the vast patches of color in a way that is impossible to describe, incomprehensible, and only this ring is the only thing in this hall that seems simpler. At the very least, its appearance can be clearly described. Xiaomei recognized it at a glance, this is the branch structure of the executive engineering component she was looking for - its simple appearance can be understood, in this incomprehensible thing, it is set off so dazzlingly, as if it deliberately took care of the rudimentary brain of human beings, and deliberately simplified the form.

Although the branching of the executive engineering components is the simplest thing in the room, its function is understandably complex, unlike anything else, and it is impossible to imagine what it would do.

The ring-like structure is located on a square base, one ring after another, and the exterior is metallic. Each ring structure is made up of more small ring structures spliced together with each other, but if you focus on counting how many ring structures there are, you will be dazzled, and you will forget which position you counted before you are halfway there.

A cloud of blue light is at the center of all the rings, no matter how complex they are, and from the point of view of the overall structure, when they move, they are entirely centered on this blue light. And, in terms of the overall image and movement, it is also symmetrical. The asymmetry of the details and the symmetry of the whole seem to be the characteristics that all the objects in this hall must observe.

What do you do next? Xiaomei thought to herself. Although this is what I have been looking for, specifically, how to find out the clues behind the scenes from it, there is no clear clue - in retrospect, what supports me is more like an impulse and intuition than logical rationality.
