Chapter 178: The Fifth Dimension.
A rich red filled the void above his head, like a sea of blood hanging high in the sky, silently reflected.
In the blank coloring map-like world, Shao Yuzhi and Liao Yonghong each stood in a section, and in front of them were scattered other ghost members who had entered here first.
At this moment, everyone stood in place with bated breath, not daring to move casually, and listened very carefully to Shao Yuzhi's instructions.
"Because the whole village is just a 'point' in the space-time tunnel!"
Shao Yuzhi's serious voice fell suddenly.
After hearing this, Liao Yonghong and several other ghost members all changed their faces slightly.
Liao Yonghong quickly said: "Researcher Shao, do you mean that the space-time tunnel is a line segment?" ”
"The entrance of the space-time tunnel in Qingquan Valley is one of the ends of this line segment."
"The real exit of the space-time tunnel is the other end of this line segment?"
"And now, entering through the entrance of the space-time tunnel, that is, starting from a section of this line segment, but not reaching the other end of the line segment, but staying at a 'point' in this line segment?"
Shao Yuzhi nodded at first, but soon, he shook his head slightly, and said quickly: "That's probably the case." ”
"However, the space-time tunnel is not a timeline!"
"The timeline is indeed a line, which can only move forward, not backward."
"Everything that happens is a 'point' on this line."
"If the timeline is one-dimensional."
"Then, the space-time tunnel we are entering now is not one-dimensional, but a two-dimensional 'face'!"
"It's ...... Fifth dimension! ”
"I'll give you an analogy, our real world is a three-dimensional world."
"And time can be considered as a fourth dimension."
"If there is a four-dimensional life form that appears in our world, then this four-dimensional life form can advance and retreat arbitrarily in the dimension of time, and he can directly see the past and future of all people."
"However, the fourth dimension can only 'see' this, but it can't change anything."
"Because for four-dimensional life forms, time is just a line, and they can only go forward or backward along this line, and can never go 'outside' this line!"
"The so-called fifth dimension is a life form, which can not only advance and backward at will, but also change the past and future at will."
"For example, this life form, the original life trajectory, is that since childhood, my father does not love my mother, no one cares, I completed nine years of compulsory education in a daze, I dropped out of junior high school at the age of fifteen, and since then I have not done my job, I go out all day long, and become a low-level ruffian, and then I fight with others, I am arrested and imprisoned, and after I come out, I can't find a serious job, I can't marry a wife, I don't have children, and my parents don't care...... A lifetime of inaction. ”
In the fifth dimension, TA can choose to go back to the age of fifteen, no longer drop out of school, honestly enter high school, study hard, and then be admitted to a key university, use the foresight to start a business, buy a house, and speculate in stocks...... Mixed wind and water, popular with women, with a good wife and children, parents who may not care about TA since childhood also changed their minds and took the initiative to show goodwill, life is full of flowers all the way, and the scenery is infinite. ”
"For this life form, the two lives that TA has experienced are two timelines."
"Four-dimensional life forms, the 'time' that they see, there is only one line."
"You can only 'move forward' or 'go back.'"
"But in the fifth dimension, 'time' is no longer a line, but an infinite number of 'timelines' that can be started all over again!"
"These countless lines form a 'surface'!"
"A two-dimensional 'time plane'!"
"Now this space-time tunnel is such a 'time plane'!"
"We're not at a 'point' in the timeline right now."
"It's at a 'point' on the 'plane of time.'"
"Moreover, this 'point' is not in our world, the original timeline!"
Hearing this, Liao Yonghong thought about it seriously and quickly asked, "Is it because we did too many unreasonable things in the village and changed the original history?" ”
Shao Yuzhi shook his head slightly and said, "Even if we don't do anything, here's not the original history!" ”
"That's not what I'm really going to say."
"What I want to say is that the village we are entering now may have two timelines that are intricately spliced together."
"This is probably because the 'digital virus' infected the timeline."
"The village we just saw and the village we see now are obviously two worlds."
"And that strange unknown, we stepped on the place where the unknown passed, and then we fell into this side of the world."
"Not surprisingly, the unknown 'digital virus' should be infecting the worlds on both sides, causing the worlds on both sides to merge even more chaotically."
Speaking of this, Shao Yuzhi wanted to continue, and the map under his feet, which was divided into various large and small irregular shapes, was suddenly filled with four non-adjacent colors in an instant.
Red, black, gray and white are laid out wantonly, like a finished jigsaw puzzle toy.
Everyone was amazed!
The color block under Shao Yuzhi's feet, which was originally white representing the "plague", was instantly dyed black representing the "famine"; The color block under Liao Yonghong's feet was originally red representing "war", but now it is dyed gray on behalf of "death"; Several other ghost members were dyed black, white, and gray......
They reacted quickly, and were about to jump into the nearest red color block, when they all found that their legs and feet were not obeying!
※※※
The courtyard of the village chief's house.
The warm winter sun shone softly, dispelling a little of the chill of the season.
There was silence in the spacious courtyard, except for the occasional "click" of sharp teeth chewing, accompanied by the smell of half-baked old hens.
The north wind swept by, and a few clusters of straw mixed with dust flew into the sky, dyeing the originally clean and clear sky with a touch of worldly turbidity, and in the blink of an eye, under the cold swaying, it was restored to an infinite height.
On the banks of the pond covered with thin ice, the large persimmon tree shook violently in the wind, and the only remaining fruit on the branches made a brilliant arc.
The concubine sat cross-legged on the ground, and the winter sun gently sprinkled on her face, hair and shoulders, reflecting her jewel-like beauty.
Her hair was scattered, half of her face was stained with oil, her eyes looked intently at the old hen in her hand, she didn't care about the situation around her at all, she gulped it up, and seriously swallowed the last bit of chicken mixed with bones, she grabbed her sleeve and wiped the corners of her mouth and fingers casually, so that she had the time to observe the surrounding situation.
Looking around, this typical farmhouse courtyard is empty, without any trace of poultry.
After making sure that there were no more chickens here, the concubine's face showed obvious disappointment.
She furrowed her brows, thought about it seriously, couldn't remember what else she had to do, and quickly decided to go home and sleep first.
So, Bofei stood up, swaggered out of the village chief's house, and walked towards her house.
※※※
Yue's blacksmith shop.
[Crimson Trap] spread out the entire courtyard, and in the gushing blood, Zhou Zhen stood beside the old blacksmith and faintly confronted the "crown carving" not far away.
The "crown carving" stands in the blood and water, as if standing on the flat ground, relaxed and freehand, without the meaning of being trapped at all.
"Now, you go out first!"
When the words fell, the "crown eagle" was silent for a few seconds, but he didn't really mean to leave at all, he looked at Zhou Zhen's face full of digital wriggling, and replied in a flat tone: "You seem to be very confident in yourself." ”
"But you can't seem to tell the difference between the two of us."
Zhou Zhen shook his head and replied coldly: "You can try!" ”
"Let me remind you that your current 'equation' is only the part of the spirit body!"
Hearing this, the "crown eagle" nodded slowly, looked at Zhou Zhen's eyes as if he was smiling, as if he had determined something, staring at Zhou Zhen, who was composed of numbers all over his body, and there was an inexplicable touch of pleasure in his tone: "Sure enough!" ”
"The way you look now is exactly the same as when you were outside the Clear Spring Valley that day."
"At first, I didn't think anyone would be able to enter the space-time tunnel completely."
"But now it seems ......"
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that the [High-Dimensional Life Plan] of the 'Ash Order' has always been regarded as whimsical in the industry, and it can really succeed!"
Speaking of this, the "crown eagle" looked at Zhou Zhen again with satisfaction.
The fact that this experimental subject of the "Ash Order" can appear here in its entirety is in itself an important piece of information!
This is more real than the kind of question-and-answer verification!
Immediately afterward, the "crown eagle" turned around and walked out, and continued, "What I want to ask has already been asked." ”
"I won't bother you."
Finished asking?
Zhou Zhen was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted, this member of the "Four-dimensional Utopia" just said that he wanted to ask a question, not to ask the old blacksmith a question, but to ask him a question!
What's more, the threatening words he just said just now just answered the other party's question!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen frowned, he intuitively felt that this was not a good thing, but it was also not very beneficial for him to go to war now......
At this time, the gray-haired old blacksmith spoke again: "I don't know what you mean by 'ring' and 'four-color problem'. ”
"However, before the house in the west of the village was converted into a coffin shop, Boer also used it as a private school, and when he lectured to the children in the village, Ji Li's studies were indeed the best one."
"I've heard people say that he can learn basically everything."
"There are even old people in the village who joke that if it weren't for the isolation of our village, he might still be a champion in the future......"
Hearing this, Zhou Zhen came back to his senses, and for a while he didn't care about the "crown carving" that had just left, and immediately explained: "The 'ring' is in the coffin shop just now, after you were killed by me, you can start again and again, and start all over again." ”
"The 'four-color problem' is the four colors of red, black, gray and white that suddenly appeared in the coffin shop just now."
When the old blacksmith heard this, a puzzled look suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked incomprehensibly, "Start over?" ”
"Four colors?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Zhou Zhen observed his expression, found no traces of forgery, couldn't help frowning slightly, and suddenly realized that the old blacksmith in front of him might only know that.
More questions should only be known to another living person in this village, Ji Li!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen quickly sorted out the current situation in this village in his heart.
In this village, there are only two real living people, the old blacksmith and Ji Li.
Everyone else in the village died from a plague.
But the people who died in the plague later came back to life one by one, and everything went about their lives as usual.
Only Meng Zhu and Bo'er were burned to death by the village chief Chu Hu before the plague, and they were not able to be resurrected.
After he just entered the time and space tunnel, the game of "touching the blind" that he participated in with Lu Xingkuan should be a happier time in Ji Li's memories.
However, after being infected by the "digital virus", the game became an anomaly similar to the "digital forest".
However, where there is joy, there is pain.
The game of "touching the blind" was played in the private school opened by Ji Li's brother Boer at the beginning.
Boll was later burned to death by the village chief......
These two things are related to a certain extent.
If his guess is correct, after the game of "Touching the Blind" is over, Ji Li will remember the memory fragment of his brother being burned to death......
Boer is Chu Hu's eldest son, the original next village head, but was burned to death by Chu Hu himself.
But there have been no rumors of Boll being burned to death in the village, but the word "sacrifice" seems to appear frequently.
That "sacrifice" may correspond to Boul's death.
Yes, everything is a conjecture generated by Ji Li's real experience!
At the beginning, Zhou Zhen thought that only he and Lu Xingkuan had crossed into a personality in Ji Li's heart.
But now, he speculated that the entire village, except for the old blacksmith, was a personality of Ji Li!
That's why all those who died in the plague survived.
This situation is very similar to his state, and the infected who were killed by him were finally able to come back to life in his classroom.
As for the "rings" he encountered, as well as the "four-color problem......
Perhaps the member of the "four-dimensional utopia" just now was not wrong.
That's not "copying", it's "learning"!
It's like he's in that classroom, where he can study the homework of other personalities.
In this village, Ji Tan was also able to learn the "digital domain" used by him, "Ares", or even others......
That's all the information provided by the old blacksmith.
I don't know if my speculations are accurate.
If that's the case, then he probably knows what's going on......
Today's plot is more difficult to write, so that's it.
Ask for a commuter pass!
