It's an incredible ship – an incredible captain, an incredible first mate, and an incredible pigeon.

There was also an equally incredible puppet on the ship, which was exactly the same as his appearance.

Ray Nora felt that it was not what she had imagined it to be—but it was a little better.

After a lap around the upper floor, Duncan returned to deck with the "Frost Queen".

"It's a big ship, and there are layers of cabins below deck, and if you really want to see it in detail, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it all in a day," he said with a smile. ”

Hearing the captain say this, Ray Nora's thoughts instantly converged from her feelings for the ship, and she immediately straightened her expression and looked solemnly at the side of the Lost Land.

The seemingly ordinary, thin and soft haze flowed outside the ship's side, quiet and harmless.

But it wasn't fog, there was no "fog" there at all—in the entire space outside of the Lost Country, there was only the ultimate nothingness that could not be described by cognition, and the "fog" that seemed to exist was actually just a faint hallucination that belonged to mortals with extremely limited perceptual abilities when they vaguely perceived the existence of something.

But "Captain" says that the cornerstone of the new world is hidden in this extreme nothingness.

Ray Nora's gaze couldn't help but fall on Duncan, she knew that there was another real existence hidden in this tall and majestic body, that "starlight with a thousand faces" was looking into the distance with a serious expression through this shell, as if sensing and looking for something in the flowing mist.

Duncan-Zhou Ming walked towards the edge of the deck, his perception permeating the entire ship, and using this ship as a carrier, he carefully "touched" the invisible "sea of ashes" outside the ship, and between those flowing mist, he cautiously observed the debris left after the annihilation of the world.

A moment later, he reached out to the side of the ship—wisps of flame covering his fingertips, and the flames were quietly soaked in the color of starlight.

He heard a faint noise and tremor coming from the depths of the Lost Place, the squeaking of masts and cables, and the sounds seemed to be mixed with some kind of unease.

"Don't worry," Duncan whispered as if to himself, "I'm still your captain. ”

The uneasy creaks and tremors had diminished slightly.

Duncan's fingers touched the "zone" outside the ship's side for the first time.

A fluttering sound of flapping wings came from the air almost simultaneously, and Aye flew down from the mast and landed on Duncan's shoulder with great movement, and it flapped its wings vigorously, letting out a sharp and strange female voice: "Kun Jin ...... Scalding Scalding Scalding Scalding ......"

Then the pigeon jumped off Duncan's shoulder, and he couldn't tell whether he was anxious or excited, flapping his wings on the deck and scurrying all the way, flapping and shouting something that no one could understand except Duncan-Zhou Ming - leaving Ray Nora next to him dumbfounded.

“…… What is this pigeon talking about? Ray Nora finally couldn't help but touch the doll next to her, although it felt very strange to talk to a doll that looked exactly like herself, she couldn't find anyone here to ask about the situation, "Hot...... What? ”

"Oh, Ay has her own way of speaking," Alice waved her hand as a matter of course, "it's conveying something very important to the captain. ”

Ray Nora was stunned and looked at the puppet in surprise: "...... Can you understand? ”

Alice was even more straightforward than just now: "I don't understand." ”

Ray Nora fell silent when she heard this: "......"

Alice noticed that there was suddenly no movement beside her, and turned her head to look at the "Frost Queen" curiously: "Huh? Why don't you speak? ”

“…… If only I had your good attitude," Ray Nora sighed, her mind going back in time, "I used to ...... It's tiring to live. ”

"Then let's try to live as easy as possible from now on," Alice laughed and reached out to pat Lei Nora's arm, "Anyway, the tiring days are over." ”

Ray Nora suddenly felt that the puppet in front of her, who didn't seem to have any heart, might actually have a different wisdom in life......

Duncan heard the conversation coming from behind him, but he ignored it—most of his attention was now on "that world" beyond the side of the ship, in the depths of the ashes.

Slowly withdrawing his hand, Zhou Ming opened his eyes towards the mist, and the eternal starlight extended in his field of vision, everywhere he looked...... He saw that the unassigned basic information elements were changing under the infiltration of Starlight.

After a moment of thought, he opened his hands in a certain direction.

Ray Nora and Alice's conversation stopped immediately—their eyes widened in astonishment as the sound of the wind and the mountain spring came from that direction.

In the hazy mist, something appeared, an entity was suddenly outlined, and a huge gray mountain appeared out of thin air between the clouds, without color or detail, and then the mountain changed rapidly like some living thing, and its surface began to appear ravines, and gradually dyed with various colors, and all kinds of sounds came from that direction, far and near, real and sometimes illusory.

Duncan-Zhou Ming stood at the edge of the deck, the information reorganized before his eyes, reassigned in his thoughts, he raised his hand, as if plucking the strings of the piano to the side slightly, the "mountain" that was rapidly gaining real sense suddenly cracked from the middle, a magnificent waterfall poured down from the mountain, rushing into a river—the next second, the river rushed, the vast plains emerged on both sides of the river, a land larger than any city-state in Rei Nora's knowledge grew and spread in the fog, the fog dissipated, and condensed into clouds and blue sky... …

The new life was rapidly expanding, and finally spreading to the surroundings of the Lost Country, where the river was poured into a vast lake, and the Lost Country floated on the mirror-wide surface of the lake, and after a few seconds, the "wind" was generated and imported into the scene, and ripples began to ripple on the surface of the lake.

Ray Nora watched this scene in amazement, she finally couldn't help but come to the edge of the deck, looking at the green sky and blue sky, as if the whole world had been shaped, and she smelled the fresh air, heard the sound of wind and water, and a strong feeling appeared in the bottom of her heart—

This place is real, everything here is real and "valid", and at this moment, if one comes to the shores of this vibrant lake, then ...... He can survive here!

Here he can breathe, here the water can drink, here the crops can grow in the land, the birds and animals can multiply in the mountains and the plains, here the rain will fall, the clouds will gather in the wind, the plants will wither, and the life will rotate......

She almost had a smile of joy on her face.

But before that smile could appear, Duncan-Zhou Ming had already lowered his hands.

Everything around the Lost Ship crumbled and dissipated silently—the mountains and plains turned into mist again in the blink of an eye, all the colors and silhouettes returned to chaos, and the sounds and the breeze that blew across the cheeks...... It's like it never happened.

Ray Nora watched this scene with some confusion, as if she did not react at once, and looked up in the direction of the captain for a long time.

"It's just a test, and it's a rudimentary test," Duncan said in a deep voice as he walked toward Ray Nora, "just to see if the 'material' here can be reactivated – that's not the case in Genesis." ”

Ray Nora heard that the captain's tone was a little complicated, and she couldn't help but get nervous in her heart: "That...... The results of the test ......"

"Good news and bad news," Duncan exhaled softly and said slowly, "The good news is that my previous judgment was correct, the information is not going away, they just lose their original 'definition', and re-assignment can make this mathematical machine work again." ”

Ray Nora spoke in a hurry: "What about the bad news? ”

"The bad news is that my other judgment was also correct - the existing conditions do not support this rebooted mathematical machine to 'sustain itself', as you just saw, once you lose my observation and definition, everything here will instantly return to its original state.

"So there's no point in simply re-assigning them to the singularity, everything still has to go back to the 'singularity', I need a starting Big Bang, and the Big Bang ...... Demanding conditions are required. ”

Ree Nora struggled to follow the captain's train of thought, and the knowledge she had gained in that "lair" restarted in her mind, and after a moment of thought, she gradually reacted: "You...... Know what it takes? ”

Duncan was silent for a moment and nodded, "...... Right. ”

"Can you do it? Is it difficult, or is it simply impossible? ”

Duncan didn't answer her question this time, and after a long period of contemplation, he just shook his head slightly, "I still need to think about it." ”

With that, he waved at Ray Nora and Alice.

"I'm going to go back to my room and plan my next steps," he exhaled, turning to the stern, "There's still a lot of room below deck, and Alice can take you to rest." ”

Duncan walked away, and Ray Nora blinked, turning her head to look at the puppet next to her, "He looks preoccupied, as Captain has always been...... Humane? ”

She thought about it for a long time before she found the right word for "humanization", and she didn't dare to say it in front of Duncan just now.

"Yes," Alice nodded without much thought, "Shirley said that the captain is human!" ”

Ray Nora: "......? ”

Is that how the term "human" is used?!

But before the frost queen could speak, Alice quickly changed the subject: "I'll take you to the ship's room to rest first...... By the way, do you want to drink fish soup? ”

Ray Nora didn't know why the topic suddenly jumped here, and she was stunned for a moment before she spoke: "Eh, no need." ”

Alice is still enthusiastic: "The fish soup is delicious!" It's a famous dish on this ship! ”

"Thank you, but I'm ...... Probably not blessed to enjoy it. ”

"Don't you like fish? And what about sweet pancakes? The captain loves sweet pancakes the most! ”

Ray Nora looked embarrassed: "...... But I'm a ghost now. ”

“…… Oh. ”
