It stands to reason that the moment the invisible barrier shatters, a powerful suction force will burst out, swallowing more than a dozen systems into the aperture.

However, Benjamin did not see this scene.

"It's ......"

The Heart of the Soul entered the aperture, and immediately after, there was a flash of white light. Benjamin subconsciously closed his eyes, and by the time he opened them, the world had been turned upside down.

The aperture is gone, the dreaded suction is gone, and the roaring system is gone...... The vacuum-like silence gave him an extremely strong sense of tearing.

Wait a minute......

He was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, raised his head, and looked around in some amazement. It was obviously not his familiar consciousness space that had disappeared, as if some teleportation had taken place, but strangely, it was completely different from the scene he had seen every time he entered the elemental plane before.

The blinding white light came from all directions, full of cold and calm. The space wasn't spacious, and he felt like he was in a sealed room, with cold lights on all four walls, and nothing else.

- Although it is full of white light, the atmosphere here is not holy, but rather a bit sci-fi.

What happened again?

Benjamin's heart was full of strangeness. It was a completely unknown place, and he didn't know how he had come here, was it an illusion, or was it the collision of the aperture and the soul heart that caused his real body to shift in time and space?

And also...... What about the system? It's not going to get caught up in the aperture, is it?

Benjamin suddenly became nervous.

Although his daily routine is to bury each other with it, he does not hate the system. Only the system understands what Benjamin has been through all these years. Aside from years of companionship, it may be the only existence that Benjamin can understand each other after crossing the other world.

He immediately took a step towards trying to get out of the place. However, he found that his limbs seemed to be frozen, and it was difficult to move, let alone walk.

"Hey, what?"

A little impatient, he subconsciously opened his mouth and shouted. To his surprise, although he could not move, he seemed to speak without the slightest hindrance, and his voice came out extremely loudly.

And after a while, a strange shadow gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

It seems to be in the shape of a human being, but it is more like a gas or a spirit body, and the face is blurred, and it is impossible to distinguish between men and women. It floated silently not far ahead, and an ethereal voice reached Benjamin's ears.

"Human, you should stop those dangerous actions. ”

Benjamin was stunned when he first heard this, and he couldn't even react in his heart. Because...... The other party used Chinese.

Intimate but a little unfamiliar, he didn't know how long he hadn't felt it.

"Who are you?" he said, adjusting the language pattern in his head, and replied in Chinese.

"It's hard for us to answer that question. In our world, there is no concept of the individual. The voice replied, "But, for your understanding, we're from the elemental plane. Don't be too surprised, at this point in time, you should have begun to realize our existence. ”

“......”

Benjamin was a little confused and didn't answer immediately.

He's ...... Talking to consciousness from the elemental plane?

Unbelievable feelings came to his heart, and his mind was filled with countless questions in an instant. But after thinking about it, he still asked the most important question first.

"What's wrong with the aperture? What's wrong with my consciousness space? What ...... Are a dozen yellow spherical objects still there?"

"Thanks to the efforts of both of us, the plane vulnerability has been fixed, and I hope you will not make such dangerous moves in the future. The voice methodically replied, "Your consciousness space is intact, the mental model of the system has not been destroyed, and the sixteen comical clones have returned to normal. ”

Benjamin frowned when he heard this.

"You...... Do you know that the system is funny?"

"In order to communicate with you, we exist in your mind, and we have a conversation with you with everything in your mind, otherwise you will not understand a single sentence that we say. ”

“......”

As with every normal human reaction, Benjamin was horrified by this statement.

Omniscient?

What the......

In this way, what he is facing now is actually the "God" in the minds of many people, right?

The church calls it the god of light, the overseas sects call it the goddess, and there may be various names for other religions...... But there is no doubt that those people should worship the phantom-like thing in front of them.

“...... What do you want to do?" Benjamin said for a long time before he asked such a question.

"We're here to warn you. The voice replied, "For a variety of reasons, you have the potential to influence our world. Although the two worlds have been influencing each other, this influence has always been limited to the law, and you have the possibility to transcend the law. ”

Benjamin suddenly smelled danger: "Will you destroy me?"

"If we could, we would. The Phantom replied without hesitation, "But due to the rules, we can't affect the world you're in now, so you don't have to worry." ”

"Can't affect......? What are you doing now?"

"It's just that through the chaos of the bug fix, a video is transmitted to your mental world. Actually, we didn't really meet, and the conversation between you and me couldn't be an established fact. ”

“...... All right. ”

Benjamin was a little dizzy to hear this, but he finally let go of his worries.

He knew that the other party was from a higher dimensional world, and due to the gap in dimensions, it was impossible for him to fully understand what the phantom was doing. Therefore, he did not get too much into the horns.

Maybe it's a good opportunity, though......

"I want to know the nature of magic. He asked, suddenly.

"By your definition, magic is the regular activity of the elements under the command of the psychic forces. ”

"I know......" Benjamin black line, "that's the original sentence in the Academy of Magic textbook." ”

"Then you should ask the questions you really want to ask. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin took a deep breath, pondered for a while, and said, "Why is there magic in this world, but I don't have any elemental or spiritual power in the original world...... How did these things come about? Why do humans have the talent for magic?"

The Phantom was quite patient, and slowly replied, "Because there is an overlap between this world and our plane, which leads to the creation of magic, and your original world does not have such conditions. The elements are the bodies that carry our consciousness, and our bodies are projected into the world to form the elements you see. Mental power comes from your consciousness, which is radiated by us, mutated, and thus has the ability to communicate with the elements. The more gifted people are, the more they are exposed to our radiation, which is why humans are able to perform magic. ”

“......”

After listening to this long statement, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath and be silent for a moment to calm his mood a little.

This is informative...... It's not a lot.

And, although he was answered, the questions in his mind also became more.

"That...... You say that the elements are your carriers, but aren't all magic in motion by you? Every mage can command you to do this and that?"

You can understand it this way, if it makes you happy. The phantom didn't sound angry at all, "There are extremely strict rules for the interaction between the two planes, and the mage completes magic according to the rules, and we also have an impact on the world according to the laws. Let's put it this way, you can think that your spell casting caused the elemental movement, but we can also think that it was our movement that caused your spell to cast. ”

“......”

If it weren't for the inability to move on all fours, Benjamin really wanted to raise his right hand and rub his temple.

"You want to say that our seemingly subjective and free actions are actually controlled by you?"

"Complex factors influence human behavior, intrinsic motivation, physical factors, personality patterns, environmental factors...... It is impossible for us to control any of your actions, everything is just an interaction within the limits of the law. ”

“...... All right. ”

Benjamin reluctantly accepted the answer and decided not to dig deeper. However, there is still a very big question in his mind.

"I used to go into the space of consciousness and then I saw images from all over the place, some from the past, some from the ...... I don't know if it's the future. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Is the future already predestined?"

This question is of great importance to him.

"Time, that's a notch for you to understand. "You are simply living at a certain point in time, but we exist at every time. At this moment, we have a message to you, but for us, you can wait at the stake at the stake in Haven and kill the enemy on the battlefield of Ikor. ”

“...... Speak human words. ”

"For example, if you open a book, the protagonist on the first page is only ten years old, and on the last page he is sixty years old. For you, his age of ten and sixty are at the same time, and you exist at every point in his life. ”

When Benjamin heard this, he suddenly felt a pang of disappointment.

"So...... For you, we are like characters, our lives have already been completely nailed, and we just follow the script step by step?"

"Of course not. "In our eyes, the timeline of this world is like a river. We can see from upstream to downstream, and we can see the reflection in every stretch of the river. But rivers also change, and if they dry up one day, everything that happened in this world will cease to exist. If a river suddenly diverts at one point, the future that we once saw happening will be very different. ”

Hearing this, Benjamin frowned and thought for a long time before asking, "That's ...... Do you see my future?"

"Your future is the most fickle river. The last time I saw it, it showed that you had died in your room because of a hole in your consciousness space. ”

“......”

Although this answer feels like he didn't say it, I don't know why, after Benjamin listened to it, his whole mood was much more uplifted.

- They are not puppets with strings, and the so-called fate can change at any time.

After thinking about it, he said, "Then you come to me this time......"

"We did not come to you, this meeting is independent of the timeline of your world, and exists only in your memory. The phantom interrupted him, saying, "I hope you will be able to keep in mind what things cannot be done in the space of consciousness in the future." ”

Benjamin was a little embarrassed: "What are the ...... things?"

"We will remain in your memory. ”

At this point, the phantom suddenly became more blurred. I don't know if it's time or if it's running out of energy, but its sound begins to dim, and the whole bright and blind room seems to be gradually darkening.

Benjamin was stunned.

Don't...... He still has a lot of questions to ask!

However, the next white light enveloped his eyes again.
