Chapter 99: Don't Get Lost

Everyone in the police station is still busy finishing the work, and the outside of the wall is still peaceful and joyful. Qian Jing and Hu Ga followed Li Changshou out of it, and the time was actually only more than three o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was shining, the air was hot, and there were few people on the white street, so no one heard the sound of hitting the wall before, and they didn't notice the brief arrest.

"Does this happen often?" Qian Jing suddenly asked.

"What's the matter? Oh, you mean that crazy zombie just now? No, no, it doesn't happen very often, and it's just been a few cases lately. Li Changshou lit a cigarette for himself when he left the courtyard and spat at the sky. "It's generally good now, and it's getting better and better, and everybody is looking forward to it, isn't that a good thing?"

"What does 477 mean?" Qian Jing asked, "I heard your colleague's conversation just now." What is a 477 condition?"

"That's the code name for crisis events in the relevant departments, and 477 is an event that travels through parallel worlds and does not cause harm. The guy who was on fire was also an Earth human, no different from you and me. As a result, the likelihood of a major ecological catastrophe is extremely low. Political Commissar Li said as he walked: "In the future, when you are in Baiqi, you will inevitably have to deal with the earth in the parallel world, and this kind of thing will also be encountered." ”

"Will I meet my parallel world?"

Li Changshou flicked the cigarette ash lightly, and then nodded: "This will happen, you will be surprised by the similarity between the parallel world and our world, and you will also be shocked by the difference between the two worlds." My advice is: you should feel much better if you met your long-lost twins and always remember that he is him and you are you. You can help if you want, but don't give up your life to him. Some of our comrades just lost their lives, lost themselves, and ended badly. ”

"yes. Parallel worlds, multiverses, these things suddenly turn from concepts to reality, which will drastically change a person's thinking and attitude towards the world, and if they are not handled well, there will be problems. So, I guess I want to tell my mom everything, and I don't want to keep it all in my heart. ”

"It's good that you think so. Political Commissar Li smiled, his expression filled with joy. He didn't smoke the remaining half of the cigarette, put it out and threw it into the trash can, and then patted Qian Jing's shoulder with his hand: "I knew that you were a thoughtful person, not always so stunned on the surface." ”

"Who said I was stunned, is it Chang Sheng?"

"Yes. However, I think he is a little annoyed that it was you who went as a hostage to rescue Feng Lingzhu and not him, and he always felt that the responsibility and risk should be borne by him. Political Commissar Li said proudly: "Our comrades are very responsible, this is a good thing, isn't it?"

"Of course. Qian Jing bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Political Commissar Li, I...... You said earlier that there are pros and cons. I mean, if you tell your mom everything, will there be any weird bad things coming to you? like this crazy drunk zombie...... Is it because I've crossed over, or because I'm an employee of a White Flag grocery store?"

"There is no such correlation between the two. Whether or not you've ever crossed over doesn't increase the probability of this kind of thing happening around you - unless you provoke something out there and they come back with you, you really have to pay attention to that. Li Changshou pointed to the surrounding streets and pedestrians: "Our daily work is to maintain peace and tranquility here, build an invisible and strong Great Wall, and protect and continue the community of human civilization on the earth, especially the Origin World." If you want to see the stars, how can you see so many aliens on Earth?"

"That'...... The drunken zombie just now?"

"Do you really want to know?" Li Changshou looked at the Qian Mirror and nodded, and after a little thought, he said: "You also know that the earth we are on is called the Origin Earth, and there are many other parallel world Earths. The passage between parallel worlds will be easier than going to other worlds, but it is still strictly limited and not so easy to traverse. Just ......"

"In all the parallel worlds of Earth, or between the origin worlds and parallel worlds of the entire multiverse, there is a special case, which we call the Dark Sun Earth. It is a parallel world, with the same history as the Earth's, at least at the beginning of the 20th century. If you want to check the results of the First World War, down to the life and death of each person, you will not find the difference. However, the sun on the dark earth suddenly went wrong, and the amount of light radiation suddenly dropped by 30% without warning. ”

"As a result, the temperature of the planet dropped dramatically, the super cold arrived, destroying all government structures, even religion had to be reformed, and only human survivalism could exist. Others, who did not put survival first, were all cleaned up by the bitter cold without mercy. The right to subsistence and the right to development are the most important human rights, and we often say that they are the most important human rights. ”

"The Planet of the Dark Sun has survived with great difficulty, and this difficulty refers to the fact that more than half of the population and ninety percent of the species have disappeared since then, which is terrifying, isn't it? But they didn't have World War II, they didn't have a superpower, they didn't have a Cold War, they didn't have proxy wars, they had slow cultural development, but they advanced by leaps and bounds in technology. ”

"This Dark Sun Earth was originally a very good observation and learning sample, but I don't know why its connection with the Origin Earth suddenly became very close, and the barriers of the parallel world were extremely fragile, and there were loopholes everywhere. We only know that this phenomenon is unique across the entire multiverse. Therefore, sometimes people on the dark earth will suddenly come here, and we have also passed it. ”

"The two worlds have negotiated to extradite people who have strayed into each other to study this out-of-phase together, and the relationship is quite good at present. However, there are always exceptions, and the bad guys never go away completely. There are some things that are not available on the earth in the dark sun, such as a powerful biothermal catalyst, called the matrix battery, in powder, which can greatly stimulate the energy of the human body, and can survive even in the face of the severe cold of minus 180 degrees. It is a great invention, but in the hands of bad people it can be used as a stimulant and even as a drug after adding drugs. ”

"The drunk you see, he's not drunk, but the matrix battery powder in his stomach leaked. He managed to swallow a plastic bag containing the powder and find a way to cross over, a dangerous method of drug trafficking. Before you called the police, we had detected an anomaly signal, and we were actually looking for a parallel world breach nearby. ”

Li Changshou pointed to his ear, and Qian Jing realized that there was a communicator inside. According to the tiger's report, Huga's violent impact squeezed the entire matrix battery in his stomach, causing an excessive energy overflow and directly burning him crazy. This is also an accident, and it is also the inevitable result of his own blame. Qian Jing, the outside world is very exciting, and the outside world is also very dangerous - hey, is your family going this way?"

The three of them left the road under the leadership of Qian Jing and entered the park square of a certain community. In the evenings, it is occupied by dancing, badminton and strolling, but now it is completely dominated by the scorching sun. The road under their feet led to the square, and went in a full circle around the square, and did not branch any further. Oh, and if they tread on the lawn, climb over the flower beds and the fence of the neighborhood, maybe they can move on.

"You should have turned left at the bend. Hu Ga pointed to his head: "I remembered the way I came, but I wasn't sure if you were a shortcut, so I didn't say it." ”

"Uh, I seem to be lost again? I am only familiar with the way home that I often walk, I rarely walk here, I guess ......" Qian Jing looked left and right, and then frowned tightly: "Strange, why do I still have a feeling that I should go in that direction?" ”

"If it weren't for us, wouldn't you just walk over?" Li Changshou gently patted Qian Jing's shoulder: "Let's go, let's go over and see what attracts you over there." ”

"Is it necessary?" Qian Jing said politely, still thanking them for doing so. Getting lost had been bothering him for a long time, and it intensified after the age of ten. Thankfully, the advent of smartphones and navigation software saved his life.

The closer you are to home, the less likely you are to get lost, and you don't get lost in Stronghold - it's a strange thing. Qian Jing, under the protection of Hu Kar and Li Changshou, walked through the lawn until he came to a willow tree by the wall.

"Uh, I'm lost. Qian Jing said: "It was here that the feeling of 'should keep walking' disappeared, and I knew very clearly that I was lost." It's the same every time I get lost, and after walking for a while, I wake up and start looking for my way again, and then I get lost again – it's annoying. ”

"Maybe you shouldn't have jumped to conclusions so early. Li Changshou glanced around, although he didn't find anything abnormal, he still took out his mobile phone and dialed: "Locate me, and then check this location in our database to see what the results are." ”

Huga also began to look around for clues, and unleashed some kind of magic, forming a continuous stream of air that swept over the area. Qian Jing carefully observed the elemental composition of this spell and guessed that it should be some kind of reconnaissance spell, specifically looking for unusual points. However, the waves formed by the air currents did not provide any clues.

Qian Jing has regarded getting lost as a part of his life, but under the leadership of Political Commissar Li and Hu Ga, he paid special attention to this matter for the first time. In terms of magic, his detection ability is not as good as that of Hu Ga, and in other aspects, he does not have the technical support from relevant departments like Political Commissar Li. However, he has a stickman, and the stickman's ability to find clues is not bad.

He freed the stickmen, scattered, and ordered several of them to search the way they had come. At this time, Hu Ga stopped his magic and shook his head to say that he had found nothing, and Li Changshou also put down the phone, saying that there seemed to be nothing unusual here.

The stickman ran over and reached out vigorously to point forward, indicating that he had found something strange. Qian Jing hurriedly followed, walked more than ten steps, and saw the stickman stop. It stood on the road, then jumped up slightly, and disappeared with a whoosh left and right on Qian Jing's knee.

"It's weird here!" Qian Jing called the other two people over, and then reached out to touch the place where the stickman disappeared just now, but found nothing. Only the tips of the fingers could feel the slight wind, and there was nothing else, not even a single spider silk.

"What's wrong?" Li Changshou squinted his eyes to take a closer look, and Hu Ga also squatted down curiously. At this moment, a stickman appeared out of thin air and jumped back from the place where he had just disappeared. "Isn't this your minion?

"yes, where did it come from?" the stickman looked the same in the eyes of others, but Qian Jing could tell them apart. The one that jumped out just now is the one that disappeared before. He immediately thought of the "mezzanine space", which had been used by the group of Grand Magicians of Stanch for smuggling. Stickman spans two dimensions, three dimensions, and has a distinctive dimensional vision, so it is possible to discover this spatial mezzanine.

"There's a problem with the space here, my summon can see some small spatial cracks, and our naked eyes can't see it. ”

"I don't see anything either, but the sudden appearance of your summon just now makes it clear that something is wrong here. I've got a team here to inspect and bring the best space gear. ”

Qian Jing nodded, this is good, he can't ask the relevant departments to do more, but he can make demands on himself.

In order to continuously develop the ability of Mind Shaping Ink and expand the use of this ability, Qian Jing will always think a little more: What can I do at this time. All the abilities of the stickman come from the Mind Shaping Ink, and since it can use the two-dimensional body to enter the space mezzanine, it means that the Mind Shaping Ink is okay.

A two-dimensional stickman can enter and exit, but a three-dimensional human hand can't touch it. On the way home, Qian Jing was thinking about it, and finally came up with a rough idea before knocking on the door: If the angle is right, the two-dimensional world can just show the "thickness" that does not exist in the three-dimensional world, so that no one can see it. Only stickmen who can also change the thickness to zero are allowed to enter. How do you change that? You just need to turn the angle, like a stickman turning around and facing the person with the image.

But the spatial crack is not a stickman, it will not obey Qian Jing's orders. Therefore, it is necessary to rotate the coordinate axis of the three-dimensional world to drive the two-dimensional space crack to rotate together. That would require manipulating the three-dimensional world at a one-dimensional level. Okay, it's pretty winding, but in layman's terms, it's just a matter of sticking a doorknob in a closed door and pulling it open to see what's hidden behind it.

Qian Jing thought of the dimensional shift center, isn't its essence to form a real three-dimensional on a plane? It is possible to ascend to one dimension, but in order to do it in a three-dimensional world, it is necessary to first master the ability to draw in the air, and also to master the algorithm of "four-dimensional painting" -- each of these items is not as simple as thinking about it.

"It seems that there is no end to learning......"

As soon as the door opened, my mother's surprised voice came out: "Mirror, you have been put back! Your friend is okay?! Hey, who is this comrade?"

"Hello comrade, I'm Li Changshou of the Security Bureau, and I have something to talk to you about Qian Jing. ”

Qian Jing was shocked, how did he change from the CPPCC to the Security Bureau, and the "related" capabilities of this relevant department are too broad, right? By the way, Li Changshou seems to still have a military rank, how much salary does he receive alone?
