Duncan fell silent in thought.
This was the first time that Goat Head told him so many secrets about the subspace, and it was also the most frank communication between him and Goat Head.
Before today, this goat-head had always shown a huge resistance to the subspace, and avoided related topics whenever possible, never directly answering his own indirect questions. Its attitude at that time seemed to be that it was not only worried about the stability of the Lost Hometown, but also worried about the stability of "Captain Duncan".
But today, its attitude softened - after the captain ran to the warp, closed the door, and then ran back as if nothing had happened.
It seemed that it finally felt relieved and dared to tell what it knew.
The Goat Head said that he didn't know much and could not guarantee the authenticity of a series of intelligence, but for Duncan, even what it said now was enough for him to think about for a long time - this not only exceeded his current understanding of the subspace, it might even exceed the research depth of scholars in the current civilized world.
After thinking for a long time, Duncan raised his head and looked thoughtfully into the eyes of the goat-headed man: "... You know so much."
"I know something, but I have no intention of hiding it from you," the goat-headed man's voice sounded a little nervous. "The less you know about things related to the subspace, the better, because in many cases, knowledge itself is pollution. But now it seems that the great Captain Duncan obviously does not need to worry about this..."
"Just take it as a sincere compliment," Shirley said casually, and then looked up and down at the goat head, and asked unwillingly, "Is that really all you know? Do you have more details? For example, the identity of this pale Cyclops...
"You're really putting me in a difficult position," the goat-headed man said helplessly. "To be honest, my memory... actually had some problems. I forgot a lot of things over there. Now I only have those superficial impressions left."
Duncan's voice finally came from the shadows: "He is reciting the alphabet. Don't disturb him."
Duncan didn't respond.
The dim sunlight shone through the window, onto the simple and elegant furnishings in the captain's cabin, casting a hazy luster in the dust. "It's okay, I just came out to check the weather.
Shirley didn't say anything else.
Plande, in the antique shop, Shirley, who was sitting in front of the counter supervising Agou, Alice and Duncan writing letters, suddenly raised her head and then, under the surprised gaze of several "students", quickly walked out of the shop, came to the open space in front of the antique shop, and looked up at the sky.
The goat-headed man hesitated, "Is this... a good thing? That means Anomaly 001 has a certain self-repair function. Even if there is a small problem, it is consciously ensuring that the world can run smoothly...
"I missed today's sunrise," Zhou Hou suddenly said, "Did the sun rise as usual today?"
"Yes, the sun rises on time at sunrise," the goat-headed man replied immediately, "It seems that the previous delayed sunrise was just an accident, and Anomaly 001 is still operating.
"Sunset?" Goat Head recalled for a moment and spoke uncertainly, "The sunset time should not be punctual, and it is not affected. So what's the problem...ah!
On the outer ring of the double rune, under the cover of the light, there is a slightly brighter spot. To a casual glance, it seems that there is a faint... gap.
"... Take risks, take risks, how can there be so many risks?" Shirley looked at the girl who had been thinking about the "thrilling new life" ever since she learned about the Lost Hometown, "Don't be so anxious about chaos in the world, isn't world peace good enough
Ah Gou: "... He really learned it?!"
"… For something like Anomaly 001, once something goes wrong, the fear will be forever imprinted in people's hearts. Those who noticed the "15 minutes" will probably never greet the sunrise like this again." Shirley shook her head gently, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, "Wait, do you remember when the sun set yesterday?"
…
Because Zhou Hou brought Nina back
Arriving at the door, Agou's last muttering fell into the former's ears. Because he knew that the other party would never answer questions directly directed at Goat Head itself, or questions that might be directed at "Captain Duncan" - this involved the stability of the Lost Homeland in the real dimension.
"… It cruised across the sky at a faster speed than usual yesterday," Goat Head realized belatedly, "Anomaly 001 - is it able to consciously adjust its own mode of operation
Duncan shook his head, then temporarily arranged for Zhou Hou, Duncan and Alice to study on their own, and told Nina to supervise them. He took one last look at the sky inside, then stood in front of the window and fell into thought.
Yili Q01-There is a real problem. He stared at the sun and the runes on the edge of this ancient vision. He carefully distinguished them and finally confirmed that he was not mistaken.
Ah Gou was stunned: "Homework? What homework?"
So he let out a light breath, stood up, and signaled a temporary pause in the topic.
Nina, who was originally helping Agou and the others learn to read, ran out worriedly: "Uncle Duncan, what's wrong with you?"
For some reason, Duncan's mind reappeared the image of the pale giant who died on the edge of the celestial fragment. Nina frowned and repeated it again, then pulled the chain fused with her arm at an angle blocked by the door frame: "Duncan, can you hear me
Shirley said in a deep voice: "At least it accelerated consciously yesterday to ensure that the sunset was executed at the right time.
After a long while, until the strong human body felt a little dizzy, Shirley closed her eyes and lowered her head.
Because I know one thing - when a large, old and unsupervised system suddenly stops using its own reserve resources to repair itself, it often does not mean that the problem will be solved. Instead, it is a signal that the problem has not yet accumulated to a safety critical point!
"Homework is not something that he will get angry about if he doesn't do it," Shirley smiled at Agou, who suddenly stiffened all over, "Go back and copy the alphabet ten times.
"He reacted and Duncan withdrew his gaze from the window," Yesterday's sun was delayed by seventeen minutes in rising, but set on time, which means one thing.
Goat-Head seemed very optimistic, but I did not feel relaxed at all because of the "self-adjustment" of Anomaly 001. Instead, I felt more relaxed after confirming that the sun had actively accelerated for a day.
The goat head indirectly revealed another thing—it was indeed not the "crew" that was on the ship at the beginning, but came from the "other side", from the subspace!
Duncan stared silently into the goat-headed creature's eyes for a long time, then he looked away.
Shirley couldn't help but walk to the window, open it completely, and look up at the sky. There was a huge body of light illuminating the world, and two circles of runes surrounding it.
Shirley raised her head and gently ruffled Nina's hair
The light emitted by Vision 001 was bright, but not blinding. Rayleigh could only look straight at it with difficulty.
real
But Duncan did not answer him.
Ah Gou was about to cry: "This... this you're going to beat me up."
Ah Gou was startled and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go copy the alphabet right away!
Nina stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, while Agou, who had come to the store out of curiosity to see what was going on, was a little dazed after hearing what Shirley said. He was stunned for a long time before turning his head and muttering to Duncan hiding in the shadows, "The captain said he hates world peace.
Did the Lost Homeland "bring" something out of the warp when it left, and then that thing turned into the goat head? Or did the goat head consciously take a ride and escape the warp? Was this a deal
But suddenly, Zhou Hou's gaze froze.
Shirley had many questions in her mind at once, but in the end she didn't ask them directly.
"Check the weather?" Nina looked up at the clear sky in confusion. Isn't it enough to just look out the window in the store? It's such a sunny day, is something going to happen again?"
"Nonsense, Mr. Shirley is coming back to check
Even sister Alice is more serious about doing homework than her!
The Warp is filled with the debris of the old world after it was shattered, but these seem to be just debris. The Goat Head seems to come from the Warp, and it has reason, can think, and knows how to communicate. So are there other things similar to it in the Warp? Or will the Goat Head definitely become like that if it returns to the Warp, and become something similar to the pale giant? So it is so reluctant to "go back"
Nina said, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Did you think of something on the boat? Should we go on an adventure
