Sanwu asked jokingly, Zhang Lu, isn't that behemoth you saw Cthulhu? Zhang Lu pouted and smiled: "I'm afraid Cthulhu is just a mischievous boy in front of it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wei Qiang didn't seem to know much about the Cthulhu Mythos, but he had only heard its name, and immediately asked, "It's evil?"

"What is evil?" Zhang Lu smiled, "Using the concept of human beings to interpret the ancient gods is itself the biggest failure of the Cthulhu Mythos......"

What really frightened Zhang Lu was that he couldn't realistically simulate, or even imagine, the external appearance of this huge thing, let alone its interior. The reason why humans are able to detect the existence of black holes is that they cannot detect the existence of anything - even the light will be attracted to it, and it will not be reflected to the human eye or any other detection instrument. But the immortals can detect the existence of black holes in the super-three-dimensional universe.

Zhang Lu looked at Sanwu: "I remember you once pointed out to me an article on the computer, and one of the paragraphs was: 'The vacuum is like the ocean, the so-called light waves in the vacuum are like the fluctuations formed by the movement of water in the ocean, and the so-called elementary particles in the vacuum are like bubbles in the ocean......'"

Sanwu nodded.

"Our thoughts are like water waves, touching other objects, or reflecting them back from the waves, so that we can understand external objects, even black holes, for their outer edges, the thoughts can be reflected, and they will not be completely attracted to it like the light of the three-dimensional world. And this wave of thought is almost ubiquitous in a single quadrant, and breaks through time like a quantum entanglement state......"

It is precisely by relying on this inexplicable principle that the immortals can clearly perceive external objects without relying on material organs, and can also instantly search for familiar objects or locations in the same quadrant, so as to travel faster than the speed of light. The reason why Zhang Lu did not dare to indulge his consciousness in the dragon quadrant was also because his mind could only be perceived by touching foreign objects or external waves, but at the same time, the external waves would also perceive his existence - if the external waves were the thoughts of the dragon clan, it would be a bad dish.

"But I sensed that behemoth, just like emitting light to go to a black hole, and my mind was completely absorbed, so I didn't sense its existence, but ...... I can't sense anything in that area!"

Wei Qiang gasped: "This is the real black hole in the super-three-dimensional universe...... What is that? a natural phenomenon or a living thing?"

Zhang Lu shook his head: "I don't know, since I can't sense it, how can I tell if it has life? All the thoughts I extended out were absorbed by it, causing my own thoughts to be confused to a certain extent, and there seemed to be a voice in my heart sounding repeatedly......

"What sound?"

"Just as human language can't really imitate the pronunciation of Cthulhu's name, my mind can't really imitate it...... In fact, it is not a sound, but just a kind of resonance of one's own thoughts, as if it is repeatedly shouting - brand ......"

"Lao Tzu?"

"It's definitely not 'Lao Tzu', it's completely meaningless resonance, why not change two words, such as 'branding'," Zhang Lu shook his head, "And with the mixing of thoughts, my energy also began to be disordered, and I seemed to be able to feel the pain as if I could spasm...... Can you believe it? I'm an immortal who hurts!"

"It's not strange," Sanmu shrugged his shoulders, "I still feel itchy occasionally." It's just a kind of memory recreation of mortal times. ”

Wei Qiang ignored him, and just asked Zhang Lu: "Then what, did you flee in a hurry, or did you get in touch with that thing further?"

Zhang Lu smiled bitterly: "Escape, where is that thing where you and I can escape...... It's like a black hole, absorbing everything around it, and when I sense it...... No, when I can't sense it, I'm already in its ...... That's called 'Event Horizon,' right?"

Sanwu, who has been practicing geophysics recently, nodded: "You have been devoured by it, but you are still here, are you being spit out again?"

Zhang Lu shook his head: "How do you know that I am here? There are indeed people here, but is it still me?"

Sanwu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Decomposition, reorganization?"

Zhang Lu nodded: "I was directly sucked in by that guy, and my energy and thoughts were completely crushed and decomposed into the most basic ...... It's not a particle, God knows what it is! And somehow it reassembles again, and if there was anything else in between, I don't remember at all, the memory ends when it enters the creature, and it starts again when it leaves the creature. Time...... I don't know, I suspect that guy doesn't have any time attribute in his body at all......"

"Teleportation in science fiction," San Wu scratched the back of his head, "Anyway, you're still alive, but you're starting to doubt yourself and ......your life."

"That's why I didn't doubt it, I'll just say that!" Zhang Lu glared at him.

"Where have you been teleported?" Wei Qiang asked.

"Outside of the horizon of events, and not in the original quadrant. ”

"If it weren't for that guy taking you around in his belly," Sanwu frowned, "That means that guy has two mouths, the mouth is here, ** there......"

"Can you not say it so disgusting!" Zhang Lu couldn't help but stare again.

"Don't pay attention to that thief," this is the second time Wei Qiang has contemptuously called Sanwu a thief bald today," continued. ”

"Hey, I'm not bald anymore, okay?!"

Zhang Lu ignored him, took a long breath, and then said, "I froze in place, not daring to move forward, or even to use my mind to probe that ...... Thing. But at the same time, the old immortal's mind that I absorbed in my heart began to gradually become clearer, I knew that the old guy knew this thing, and as for the identification of this object in his mind, that pronunciation, I suspect that it is the 'Xiangliu' in ancient Chinese myths and legends. ”

"Xiangliu's ability is far worse than this guy, one day at a time, okay?"

Xiangliu is also known as Xiangxiang, is the evil god in ancient Chinese mythology, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Great Wilderness of the North" said: "The name of the Gonggong minister is called Xiangxiang, nine snake bodies, self-ringing, eating in nine soils." The place where it is is the source of Ze, not hard but hard, and the beasts can not deal with it. Yu annihilation flood, killing each other, its bloody stench, can not grow valley. The land is watery, and it is uninhabitable......"

There are ancient legends of this "hydra" monster in many cultures on Earth, and if this thing really has its prototype, it is indeed possible that it comes from the half-octopus-like behemoth that Zhang Lu met - one of the sources of the Cthulhu Mythos is also this kind of monster. But Xiang Liu's supernatural powers are not comparable to that behemoth, even among all the "Hydra", it seems that they are not outstanding.

"Myths and legends, it's normal to spread the word wrong, and how can a three-dimensional person understand the existence of that kind of thing?" Zhang Lu squinted at Sanwu, "I won't say anything if you interject again." ”

"Don't," Sanwu smiled and waved his hand, "the name on the left and right is just a symbol, you say it's Xiangliu, then it's Xiangliu - that old man knows about Xiangliu's existence?"

Zhang Lu nodded: "Everything has to start with this Xiangliu...... The old man's thoughts are very complicated, I can't tell you one by one, many details have to be made up by my brain, I can only express the end of the brain supplement......"

Wei Qiang nodded, indicating that he understood Zhang Lu's distress, and didn't mind him adding some of his own understanding.

"How can I say it? It's like interviewing a half-dead, vague and inarticulate 80-year-old veteran in 2015 about his ......experience in the War of Resistance Against Japan."

For the immortals, these numbers can quickly reflect the connection, and Zhang Lu stopped halfway through his words, and he was silent for a long time, he couldn't help it, but he still opened his mouth again: "Impossible! Eighty years old in 2015, he was only ten years old when Japan surrendered in 1945, how can he be a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, and he can still talk about the experience of the Anti-Japanese War?!"

Zhang Lu pouted and smiled, which means: Blindfold you-"I didn't say that he was a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, he talked about the experience of the Anti-Japanese War, but I didn't say that it was his own experience." ”

"In other words, second-hand information, he is just relaying?"

Partially paraphrased...... He can talk about his experience in the Korean War—he was fifteen years old at that time, and he could barely join the army. Therefore, the first half is second-hand information, and the second half is first-hand. ”

Wei Qiang spread his hands, meaning: "Don't be poor, let's talk about the key points directly." ”

"Let's start from the beginning," Zhang Lu thought for a while, and finally got to the point, "About 100,000 years ago, the first three-dimensional humans evolved into super-three-dimensional immaterial lifeforms, and about five thousand years later, a war broke out between the immortals and the dragons...... In fact, it's just a fight for land and revenge, just a small number, and it really can't be said to be a war. In short, after about a few thousand years of fighting, a fortuitous event occurred......"

At that time, the immortals didn't seem to know that there was a phase willow in the world, but the dragon clan who had ascended earlier should have known about it. For this kind of Xiangliu, Zhang Lu and his companions also roughly guessed, and it was difficult to determine whether it was a living form or a natural phenomenon. Theoretically speaking, if it is alive, it must have its way of reproduction, and it must have a certain degree of subjective initiative, but this thing seems to be just quietly dormant in the void of the universe, if you don't recruit it, it won't come to provoke you, so it is more likely to be a natural phenomenon.

But Wei Qiang also asked: "What if it is not a thing of this world?"

Just as many residents of the three-dimensional world can't let go of the pride that people are the "spirits of all things", it is difficult for Wei Qiang to accept that there are more advanced life forms than immortals in the super-three-dimensional world-the dragon clan can be regarded as an existence that is on par with immortals, but in Wei Qiang's heart, these ancestors are even worse than immortals after all. Of course, human beings can imagine that there are other life forms in the universe that are higher than themselves, such as gods, but after all, they belong to higher level existences, and gods and humans are completely incomparable.

That's why Wei Qiang wondered if Xiang Liu could be a higher-dimensional existence—a four-dimensional object—for example, a four-dimensional object, and what Zhang Lu saw was just a projection of it in a super-three-dimensional or sub-four-dimensional world. Even if Xiangliu is indeed a high-level life form, it does not have the will or ability to actively interfere with the super-three-dimensional world, and only partially projected it may show maverick characteristics.

Zhang Lu nodded: "I have also thought of this possibility...... Unfortunately, it cannot be confirmed. ”

The number of Xiangliu in the hyper-three-dimensional world is extremely rare, and it is even possible that it is ...... Only the only one, or one head and one tail, appears in the ninth or tenth quadrant that is still in the control of the dragons. The dragon clan took advantage of the ascension to heaven earlier, so they discovered Xiangliu earlier than the immortals, whether it was after a series of explorations and research, Zhang Lu is not clear. From Chang's remaining thoughts, he only got a vague impression, that is, the dragon clan has always been respectful of Xiang Liu.

This is a matter of course, life has always had an inexplicable fear of the unknown, and the dragons are no exception, not to mention that Xiangliu is not only unknown, but almost completely unknowable. Perhaps there have been dragons who have been devoured by Xiangliu and then released, causing them to have a terrifying psychology such as "am I still me", and no one dares to guarantee that when they are devoured by Xiangliu again, they will be able to return safely......
