Chapter 9: The Third Crossing

Jeon Ho felt like he was flying. After a while, it didn't feel like flying. But it's awkward anyway. The body is like a feather, and it doesn't feel a little weight. He realized that he was floating, but not in the water, but in the air. It was a moment before he realized the state he was in—weightlessness.

The eyes should have adapted to the glitz of time travel, but it was still pitch black as far as the eye could see. With the help of a little ghost light from the space-time gate, Quan Hao looked around and found himself in a rectangular, empty box-like space.

Weightlessness is so overwhelming. No matter how Quan Hao adjusts, he feels that his body is uncomfortable. It was very uncomfortable to be unable to exert his strength, and he was dancing to grasp something, but he only made his body spin helplessly.

Eventually, he gave up. Holding back the dizziness coming from his brain, he relied on what little inertia he had to float to a corner of space.

I don't know how long it took for that corner to finally get close. He told himself over and over again to be patient and not to push too hard. That would be counterproductive, and the reaction force would bounce the body away, and it would continue to be in that embarrassing state of not being able to reach the village in front of the village and not in the store.

Feeling that the distance was appropriate, Quan Hao carefully stretched out his right hand and grabbed the exterior of the wall that he didn't know what color it was. The left hand and legs are highly tense, ready for possible reactions.

A bit unexpected, the walls here are made of unknown materials, but in short, the adsorption is very good. Quan Hao's one hand generated enough grip to hold his entire body in place. He let out a sigh of relief: finally there was a place to draw on his strength. Although it still feels very floating, it is still much better than the rootless duckweed.

With the reliance, Quan Hao has a chance to calm down. The sensory organs, which had not been able to process it, sent reports to the brain. First of all, there was a heavy stagnation feeling from the end of the nose, which stimulated Quan Hao almost wanted to cough. The air here seemed to have not circulated for a long time, dry and dry, mixed with the smell of dust. It was very uncomfortable for him to be a newcomer. Then out of the corner of his eye, he caught a few more dim bits of light. The light was not far from his feet, but it was easy to miss it if it wasn't for the afterglow and the added attention.

Quan Hao used a force to control his body and float towards the light. More and brighter points of light jumped out one by one. It wasn't until he got close enough that he realized that there was actually a porthole in front of him. And those points of light are the stars outside the window.

Lying on the porthole, he had a new appearance. With the help of that little starlight, a huge shadow filled the eyes of the traveler. The shadow was like an ancient beast, lurking in the darkness, revealing only a scale and a half claw from time to time. The huge body stretched into the space in the distance, as if it would never come to an end.

I'm actually on a spaceship! I'm actually floating in outer space! How can we describe Quan Hao's mood? Shocked? But today he was shocked so much that his heart began to go numb.

So this time he calmed down faster than ever.

"Anyone?" Quan Hao shouted loudly while groping around. When he shouted, his heart was also beating a drum: this should be a human ship, there will be no aliens or anything suddenly coming out.

However, disappointed, no matter how much he shouted, the surroundings had been quiet. In desperation, he began to pound on the wall—with the rusty sword from the previous world.

It was too dark around, and Quan Hao thought that his mobile phone seemed to be in his trouser pocket all the time, and he hurriedly touched it. The light of the mobile phone is not strong, but it is better than the random touch of a black light.

However, he was disappointed again, and no matter how he tried to get it, he couldn't turn it on. Only then did he remember that in the first world, this mobile phone was soaked in water. Although this small 2,000 domestic product is quite functional and resistant to falling, it has never been waterproof. It seems to be completely scrapped.

Helpless, Quan Hao could only continue to endure the days when it was difficult to see five fingers when he stretched out his hand. The shouts and taps were unresponsive and he grew tired, and when he had groped the entire wall, he came to another frustrating conclusion: he couldn't find the location of the cabin door. The whole empty room has no buttons, no touch screens, no stairs. Not even a crevice could be found—at least not with his hands. This is in line with the mind of the traverser, which is the cognition of a high-tech civilization. At least humans on Earth still have a long way to go before they can build such a huge space vehicle.

But the question is, could it be that Quan Hao has been locked up in this box twenty meters long, ten meters wide, and about eight meters high? Without contact, how can he know what kind of world this is?

Now that what he did was useless, Quan Hao stopped. He hung in mid-air, trying to maintain a recumbent position. Then he realized that in weightlessness, there was no difference between lying down and standing.

As a result of the relaxation of the body, the brain becomes more active in such a quiet and dark environment. For a while, all kinds of thoughts jumped into my mind. He began to wonder if he would ever be able to go back. Then I thought of my parents, my friends, my work, the precarious human beings in Streamer City, the girl I had a crush on in college, and finally even the little bully who bullied him when I was a child jumped out to make trouble.

No, if it goes on like this, your brain will explode. You have to find something to distract you.

What to look for?

The starlight outside the porthole caught his attention.

Jeon Ho likes to look at the stars. When he was young, he was timid, afraid of the dark, and did not dare to walk alone at night. But what if he had to walk at night? His solution was to raise his head and talk to the stars in the sky.

At that time, he always felt that the distant stars were another world. He likes to communicate with them because he brings a complete calmness back to his mood every time. Especially during the summer school holidays, he went to his grandmother's house in the countryside. I always like to climb the haystack that is taller than people, lie on it and look up at the starry sky, and feel that the whole person is sublimated.

Living in a big city, it has been a long time since he has seen a sky full of stars in light pollution.

Lying on the narrow porthole, Quan Hao brushed away the thin dust with his right hand. Suddenly, he once again felt the infinite charm of the stars. He couldn't remember the last time he had seen such a bright star. Or maybe never. After all, one is in outer space and the other is separated by the atmosphere. The latter, to a greater or lesser extent, always affects the brightness of the stars.

The starry sky seen through the porthole is only a small corner. But if you compare the stars to a charming goddess, then even the corners of her starry skirt are enough to make people intoxicated.

There are just so many stars here, it's too crowded. It's as if someone made a transparent jar and stuffed it to the brim with a wishing star. The tiny sky is surrounded by no less than a thousand stars. Each one of them is so unique.

Unlike on Earth, here, starlight doesn't need to pass through a thick atmosphere before being captured by the retina. So they don't blink mischievously. It makes these stars a little less playful than when they were on Earth, and of course, they also add a little bit of coldness and mystery.

Quan Hao tried hard to compare for a long time, but he didn't see the star that felt familiar. Soon he gave up. Just revel in the perfect visual feast.
