Chapter 4: Stand-ins

Lu Lie just watched the self created by the time giant walk into the halo, only to see a piercing aura flash, and the position where he was originally standing "himself" disappeared, leaving only an empty and desolate land.

That "self" was carried onto the ship by a halo.

Lu Lie, who was still in place, wanted to say something, he subconsciously raised his hand, but the same surprising thing happened, when Lu Lie raised his hand, he found that the place where he should have appeared in the palm was empty, and there was nothing. Lu Lie lowered his head, and he found that his entire body was gone.

He was invisible in place.

The Time Giant still hovered lazily beside him, flapping its wings as if nothing had happened.

The ship was silent, still under the stars.

The two people under the spaceship were silent for more than a moment, and suddenly a deep male voice came into Lu Lie's spiritual world: "Master, the 'stand-in' who went up in your place has been killed by the things in the spaceship. ”

"Kill...... Dead?"

What shocked Lu Lie was not only that the giant suddenly spoke after not speaking for several years, but also that the seemingly harmless creatures in the spaceship would suddenly kill the killer - was it because they found out that it was just a stand-in, so they were angry? Or did they not intend to let themselves go from the beginning? Thinking of this, the more Lu Lie thought about it, the more scared he became, fortunately it was not himself who boarded the spaceship just now, otherwise he might have ......

The voice of the time giant came from Lu Lie's spiritual world again: "They don't know that it's your stand-in, before they leave...... Of course, after killing your double, maybe they've figured out something is wrong. ”

Lu Lie licked his chapped lips with his tongue, and tried to echo with the time giant in the spirit world: "Why did they kill my stand-in after inviting me on the spaceship? What other creatures are hiding in this spaceship? What is the purpose of their coming to this world? Ah Nian, do you have a way to see what happened after the stand-in entered the spaceship?"

The voice of the time giant in the spirit world was silent for a moment, and after a while, an off-white dynamic map slowly appeared in front of Lu Lie, which seemed to be a retrospective of time.

In that gray-white blurred dynamic map, Lu Lie could barely see that after "himself" was sucked into the spaceship by the aura that fell from the sky, the surrounding environment also changed completely in an instant—"he" was standing in a hall that was similar to a crystal material, but emitted a pale white light. And the hallway leads to a black door higher up.

Before the stand-in could take a step out of the hall after entering the spaceship, the black door higher up creaked open, and three short figures walked out.

There was a slight fluctuation when the dynamic map was placed here, and Lu Lie in the spiritual world subconsciously stepped forward, wanting to see what the three short figures looked like. But when the fluctuation disappeared, the picture that caught Lu Lie's eyes surprised him-

It turned out to be three "humans".

It's just that those three "humans" are already difficult to distinguish from human beings in appearance—they are less than half Lu Lie's height, and they are extremely short. But what is chilling is that their heads are extremely large, taking up about a third of their entire body, and there are only a few sparse hairs on their bulging heads, which is about their hair. The eyes, nose, ears and other facial features are all extremely small, and the part that should appear in the mouth is only a small opening, which can be regarded as their feeding tool.

Their faces were all covered with wrinkles, like rags that had been used for decades.

Outwardly, it is impossible to tell their gender.

Compared to their unreasonably large heads, their bodies were pitifully delicate, and with their short, thin arms and legs, it was almost hard to believe that they could support their heads for so long without breaking.

"What the hell is this?"

"Just this little thing, can also kill Lao Tzu's stand-in? Lao Tzu can beat them a dozen times. ”

After seeing this scene clearly, Lu Lie subconsciously burst into a few foul words, but soon, another thought came up down Lu Lie's back, which made him a little uncomfortable and shuddered.

A few years ago, Li Yuan's words sounded in Lu Lie's ears again:

"Thirty-five years later, humanity has changed dramatically from the humanity of your time. Our consciousness, our forms, our thoughts, and even our way of being and our appearance have undergone changes that you cannot imagine. It can be said that we are all human beings, but we have become two completely different species"......

"I'm going to show you my true side, and you're going to attack me like a monster. ”......

Lu Lie glanced at the three monsters with basic human appearances but completely different from humans.

"Could it be that they are human beings from the future universe in 350,000 years?"

Lu Lie began to speculate in his heart.

As if to confirm the guess in Lu Lie's heart, one of the three dwarfs spoke, speaking in a language that Lu Lie could understand:

"It's amazing. A primitive man, without the help of any tools and strength, relied on the desire to survive and instinct, and climbed to the top of the giant tree with his bare hands...... It's nothing short of a miracle. ”

Lu Lie's stand-in replied mercilessly: "What a primitive person, a primitive person, you are a grandmother." Say, what did you three dwarfs do when you got Lao Tzu here? If you say something that dissatisfies your Uncle Lu, don't blame your Uncle Lu for pulling out the hairs on your heads one by one and stuffing them into your cheeks to arrange flowers. ”

Lu Lie, who could see the gray dynamic picture, was embarrassed: What kind of stand-in is this time giant? Why is his temper even more violent than himself? No wonder he was killed by those three dwarfs.

Fortunately, the three dwarfs did not show any signs of anger at this moment. Another dwarf with a somewhat feminine voice said sharply, "Hey, big man. Let me ask you, when you climb up from below, do you find that the line of cause and effect here has deviated to what value, does the 'singularity' further down there eat the world, and do you see any other people of the same kind who look like us come here?"

What causal lines and singularities, these Lu Lie can't understand, let alone Lu Lie's stand-in. Sure enough, Lu Lie's stand-in was about to start scolding again.
