In the light wind harbor, the faint "sunshine" permeated the sea, shrouding the entire city-state under the "night", and the information carried in the light flowed silently throughout the sea, but only one puppet could read the information.

Seriously, even Duncan thought it was a bit bizarre.

So what about the world in the eyes of this puppet...... How much is there that is different from ordinary people's perception? Is the sky blue in her eyes? Are the leaves in her eyes green? What kind of silhouette does she see in human beings, and what kind of waves does the sea have?

And even if she describes what she sees—are the colors, sounds, and shapes she says really what the average person knows?

This seems to be a mystery that will always circulate contradictions and can never be solved.

Alice turned her head, her big beautiful eyes reflected the glow of the gas lamp, she looked at Duncan with some confusion and some worry, and after a long time she whispered, "Captain, the things I see are really useful, aren't they?" ”

The chaotic thoughts gradually converged, and Duncan did not let the jumbled associations continue, and he suddenly somewhat recognized some of what Alice had said—some annoying and doomed questions, simply not to think about them.

So he smiled, his expression gradually relaxed: "Of course it works—what else do you see besides this information?" I mean, after the sun went out, what else did you 'see' that was different from your usual life? ”

Alice quickly understood what Duncan meant, she frowned slightly, recalled it very seriously, turned her head to look around, and after a while she said uncertainly: "If you have to say it, you just feel a buzzing sound all the time......"

Duncan frowned: "Buzz? ”

"Well, buzz, it's a very soft sound, and I can't tell if it's really a 'sound', I just think there's such a movement that keeps ringing in my head, but if you don't pay close attention, it will be ignored," Alice explained gesturically, gesturing out the window, "It's a little stronger when you see those 'sunshines'......"

Duncan nodded slightly, and after a moment he asked, "Did you hear this buzz the last time the sun went out?" Ever seen the 'information' about the 'Observer Effect Anchor'? ”

"No," Alice shook her head, "I only saw and heard it when I arrived in Breeze...... this time."

Listening to the puppet's narration, Duncan couldn't help but fall into thought-

According to Lucrecia, just now, another set of observation equipment in Breezeport also received a faint signal from the extinguished sun, and its characteristics are exactly the same as the signal released by the "luminous geometry", that is, during the extinguishing period, the body of Anomaly 001 has actually been "broadcasting" the broadcast of the "observer effect anchor failure", but Alice said that she did not "see" these contents during the last time the sun went out, but only read the fault report information from the "sunlight" here after arriving in Breeze…… Why is that?

Is it because the fault when the sun went out last time wasn't so severe, so the main body of Anomaly 001 didn't report the failure? If this is the case, the situation will be worse than anyone expected, because it means that the whole system has deteriorated even further – rapidly in such a short period of time.

The living room fell silent, Lucrecia and Morris and others gathered around, they listened to the exchange between Duncan and Alice, and watched the expression on Duncan's face change with some concern, and after a while, Nina couldn't help but speak: "Uncle Duncan, do you know what that 'observer effect anchor' means?" ”

Duncan opened his mouth, but suddenly he was a little stuck.

In this world, it is already extremely difficult to explain the concept of planets and the universe to people, how can he explain the more abstract "observer effect"? How to explain the bizarre phenomena between the macro and micro worlds?

And more importantly, can the observer theory that you know really be placed here?

He raised his head with a subtle expression and looked at the world outside the window.

"I can probably guess some, but this is a huge deviation from my perception of the 'observer theory', which should happen in the microcosm, not ......"

He hesitated and stopped.

If the other name of Vision 001 is really "Observer Effect Anchor", then does this already explain the real mechanism of this ancient vision of "suppressing pollution" and "stabilizing order"?

Unconsciously, he thought of the truth of the Great Annihilation, the conflicts at the bottom of the world, and the various transcendent visions in the world caused by cognitive pollution—if the microcosm is the "cornerstone of order" of every universe, then when these cornerstones collide with each other and annihilate, mixing into an incomparably chaotic and complex "information soup...... Is the observer effect really confined to the microcosm?

At the moment when the mathematical laws of each universe are torn apart, at the moment when the material structure of all things is completely annihilated and all are reduced to basic information elements, perhaps the concepts of "microcosm" and "macrocosm" have long been gone!

In the sudden rush of thoughts like a storm, Duncan unconsciously muttered to himself, "...... The specific manifestations of information pollution and law conflict at the bottom of all things...... In fact, the observer effect in the macrocosm is out of control? ”

Morris and Lucretia looked at each other, and after a few seconds, they turned their heads at the same time: "...... Yes? ”

“…… I'll figure out how to explain to you what the observer effect is, and some of my guesses about it, but it will take a lot of time and effort," Duncan waved his hand quickly, "and now I'm trying to figure out another problem." ”

Lucrecia immediately spoke: "Another question?!" ”

Duncan nodded, and looked at the goth doll standing next to him, looking harmless (mostly unresponsive).

"Have you ever wondered why Alice can see and understand these 'signals'?"

"Oh yes!" Shirley on the side reacted instantly (mainly this is the only question she can understand so far), "She can 'see' and don't say anything, after all, only she can see those 'lines' - but how can she understand it?" There are so many experts and scholars in the city-state, and their hair has fallen out, and no one has figured out this thing! ”

Vanna keenly noticed the serious and thoughtful look on Duncan's face as he asked the question: "Do you already have the answer?" ”

Duncan nodded slowly, and after a moment of reflection and language, he brought up what was recorded in the Book of Blasphemy:

"As you may recall, according to that book, after the two failed Genesis, it was the 'Creeping King' who succeeded in completing Genesis on the third long night and ushering in the Age of the Deep Sea."

Vanna immediately nodded: "Well, of course we remember this. ”

"The 'construction' of Vision 001 was also in the same era," Duncan continued with a serious expression, "The Creeping King made the Cretan clan his assistants and worked with them to design and build the 'Sun', and the Creeping King is known as the 'Shadow Lord' - do you remember how Alice was born?" ”

"Oh oh, I know!" Shirley suddenly understood, "The clone of the Shadow Lord was hand-rubbed at the bottom of the sea!" ”

Everyone reacted.

Their eyes fell on Alice.

Alice listened to the discussion next to everyone in a daze, and only now did she follow everyone's train of thought in a daze, and after confirming that she didn't mess up anything, she didn't know what she was thinking, and her face showed a smug and happy look.

“…… We've always known that Alice is actually a 'ghostly creature' in a sense, but many times, we only notice the connection between her and the Frost Queen Ray Nora, and ignore that her connection to the Nether Lord is the point," Duncan looked at the smug figure with a subtle expression, and thought of the scene where he accidentally established a connection with the Nether Lord in the garden of that mansion, "Now it seems that this connection may be more important than we thought, at least one thing is certain now, She could understand the 'system language' used by the Nether Lord in that 'blueprint for creation'......"

Nina thought for a moment: "It's like a hole punch analyzer can read the paper tape output of the differential machine?" ”

“…… That's fine. ”

Alice looked at Duncan and then at the others around her, as if she wanted to ask some questions, but suddenly she frowned again, as if she had heard or seen something—and after a moment she suddenly spoke, "The system has restarted." ”

Duncan looked up instantly, and almost at the same time as Alice's words fell, a low, illusory roar suddenly entered everyone's mind.

With this low roar that seemed to fill the whole world for a moment, Duncan noticed a ray of light in the sky outside the window—

The sun, which had sunk to near sea level and had been extinguished and stagnant there, was lit again.

Shirley was the first to run to the window, looking back at the street outside, and she saw the glow of the sun over the roof of the building, while a group of knowledge guards who were on guard at the intersection were looking up at the sky in amazement.

Nearby residents hiding in their homes reacted and opened their windows to look outside.

Shirley happily waved her hand at the window, greeting a neighbor who appeared in front of another window not far away, but she didn't get a response—all eyes were on the sky that had just reappeared.

Then there was a faint cheer from nowhere, and after a while, the sound of a loudspeaker was heard at the intersection of the street, which mentioned the news of the sun being lit again, and reminded the residents not to leave their homes rashly for the time being, for night would soon fall, and martial law would continue tonight until the sun rose as usual the next day.

Duncan listened to the faint radio outside the window, watched the glow fade from the sky, and exhaled softly.

The sun rises as usual...... Now, even that has become an uncertain thing.
