Chapter 517: Talking to the Characters
When his left hand first touched the characters, suddenly, a strange image appeared in his mind, as if someone had stuffed a painting directly into his head.
Benjamin was taken aback.
It was a solid black and white picture, with several small white dots lined up on an endless black surface.
By the time Benjamin came to his senses, the image was gone. The system wasn't there at the moment, and he didn't have the ability to remember, so he couldn't remember how the little white dots were distributed.
Although he didn't know what those little white dots meant, as soon as he touched the characters, the picture appeared in his mind inexplicably, which was certainly not a simple thing.
It's an amazing feeling.
After thinking about it, Benjamin reached out to the character again, and touched the character again like a dragonfly.
To his surprise, the image reappeared. And this time he was mentally prepared, and at the moment when the picture appeared briefly, he tried to memorize the shapes on it.
Casually, the picture disappeared, and Benjamin also fell into deep thought.
In fact, it is a very simple picture, with dense small white dots in the black surface, divided into two groups left and right in a fairly orderly manner. Benjamin recalled the little white dots and felt like he was doing some intelligence quiz questions.
Suddenly, he remembered the "hello" he had deciphered.
Don't...... Is this also a similar expression?
The number of small white dots in the two groups was recalled and then compared with the alphabet. In the end, Benjamin came up with the word "go".
The moment the result was reached, Benjamin was speechless for a moment.
This character...... Is it letting him go?
Thinking of the "elemental plane" and "the will of the water element" just mentioned by the system, Benjamin suddenly had a thought—could it be that the character in front of him is a self-conscious creature?
Suddenly, Benjamin looked around, and there were characters of different shapes everywhere. The thought that these things might be self-conscious and "talk" to people made him feel a little hairy.
These things...... Are you staring at yourself?
After thinking about it, Benjamin waved his hand and said hello to the character he had just touched. But the result is ...... Don't you still need to ask, the character doesn't react at all, Benjamin is embarrassed, feeling like a fool.
It seems that there is no way to communicate in ordinary language......
So, after a moment's hesitation, Benjamin simply grabbed the character directly.
It feels cold in the hand, like holding a smooth metal rod.
At the same time, the black-and-white image reappeared in his mind. However, this time the small white dot is different from the last time, and it looks a little complicated. If Benjamin doesn't let go, the picture won't go away. So, while holding the character, he began to decipher the little white dots.
In the end, he deciphered a sentence.
"Don't touch me. ”
That's the message that the character conveys on the screen.
It's just that...... Although the character expresses a sense of reluctance, it never responds substantively to Benjamin, let alone a sudden shock, and then bounces Benjamin away.
Thinking of this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
He looked at the character in his hand, and suddenly his heart moved, not only did he not let go, but began to exert force, trying to tear off the character that was frozen in the pure blue background.
Unfortunately, this thing is so strong that no matter how hard Benjamin tries it, it can't be torn off as if it was painted on it.
Not only that, but as Benjamin exerted his strength, the images that appeared in his mind began to change.
"You don't belong here. ”
This is the message that Benjamin read after the new picture was deciphered.
It's a pity that such a short sentence obviously can't satisfy Benjamin. He's tried for so long and still hasn't encountered any danger, which means that these characters won't hurt him. Therefore, he did not let go of his hand and continued to try. And with his exertion, the small white dots in the picture also changed again.
In the end, the whole picture is gone.
Benjamin was stunned.
“...... Silenced?"
He let go of his hand and held it again, but the black and white picture never appeared again, and there was no response to the whole thing. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly felt that the other party might be annoying to him, so he didn't even want to pay attention to it.
Thinking of this, Benjamin was a little helpless.
He didn't want to do this, but he finally entered the pure blue world once, and he couldn't study this place more. His magical progress has stalled, and there's a good chance he'll find an answer here.
So, he turned around and found another character to touch.
However, the characters seemed to breathe into each other, and no matter how much Benjamin harassed them, they no longer reacted, and even the image that had been poured into Benjamin's mind was gone.
Benjamin scratches around in this blue world, and in the end, he gets nothing.
He could only stop.
Even if ordinary physical means are no longer working, then ...... Try your hand at magic.
He remembered the last time he had cast his magic in the pure blue space, and in the blink of an eye, he had been kicked out, causing a hailstorm in Snowy City in Fredon. I don't know what kind of reaction will be there this time.
Accompanied by the spell of water polo, Benjamin's heart suddenly sounded a "ding".
Benjamin was stunned.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that something strange had indeed appeared in his hand. However, instead of a water balloon, he summoned a blue triangle.
Dazzling blue light, regular side lengths, notches in the corners...... Benjamin was sure that this was the magical character in his consciousness space, and that feeling of a heart-to-heart connection could not be wrong.
Did he summon the triangle here?
Looking at the shining runes floating in his hands, Benjamin felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
In the consciousness space, the magical characters are completely immobile. And here, with a single thought, the tiny character can swing freely from side to side, as nimble as a water balloon he summons.
Feel...... Everything in front of him has long been beyond Benjamin's cognition. In his ignorance, he could only choose his next move based on his intuition.
After a moment's hesitation, he commanded the triangular character and flew towards a local character on the side.
- the same character who was harassed by Benjamin for a long time in the first place.
As soon as the two characters touched, he heard a soft sound. Then, the triangular characters that belonged to him shone brightly, like a blue flame suddenly burning in the deep sea, and the dazzling light made Benjamin's eyes squint.
This is......
Benjamin couldn't help but take a few steps back, and suddenly felt a pressure envelop him. The pure blue world in front of me quickly became illusory, and the feeling of being in the real world disappeared all at once.
In my ears, the simple and obscure whisper came again.
"Water!"
"Water!"
“......”
As in the past, the whisper quickly amplified and flooded Benjamin completely. It was as if 10,000 bombs had exploded near his ears, and the terrible sound made him feel his scalp tingle.
Groove ......
Benjamin clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth, trying not to be dizzy by the sound.
At the same time, he took out his most tenacious will and desperately kept the word in his heart.
"Water!"
He tried to open his mouth and follow the tsunami-like sound to pronounce the word. However, he found that the more he tried to open his mouth, the stronger the sound wave bombarded him, and he began to be a little overwhelmed.
Without realizing it, he suddenly began to float, and the lonely figure trembled slightly in the pure blue.
Benjamin was starting to get a little overwhelmed.
And in front of him, the blue light emitted by the triangular characters continued, more and more dazzling. Under the influence of this dazzling light, a thought flashed through Benjamin's heart, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
And when he opened his eyes again......
In front of me is the new home of Changhe Town, and in my ears are bursts of birdsong. The morning sun filtered in through the window and fell on Benjamin's slightly narrowed eyes.
Benjamin was a little confused.
As if waking up from a big dream, his mind was still a little weak, and he sat up from the bed in a daze, and was stunned for a while before he gradually came back to his senses.
What happened?
After a brief hesitation, he immediately entered the space of consciousness.
In the space, the three characters still shine. However, in this endless dark world, there were suddenly some strange blue ripples. They reverberate silently in Benjamin's consciousness space, like the water spiders jumping and jumping on the surface of the pond in the afternoon.
