The moment Chen Chen stepped into the black mist, he suddenly had a feeling of being half asleep and half awake. It seemed that only a second or two had passed, and it seemed that a long, long time had passed.
This kind of feeling was extremely familiar to Chen Chen, just like the sense of time settling in every time he entered the teleportation pile of Ark.
However, Chen Chen temporarily followed Zhao Shanhe's instructions and closed his eyes instantly.
Buzz!
At the same time, the huge field energy in Chen Chen's mind shot out, seemingly trying to penetrate the black fog in front of him, but it was blocked layer by layer, as if there were endless sponges around him, preventing the field energy from spreading.
On the contrary, the spiritual energy mixed in the field energy smoothly penetrated the black mist, allowing Chen Chen to "perceive" the environment within twenty meters around him.
Feeling this magnitude, Chen Chen couldn't help but frown. In reality, his field ability was huge. After so many years of training, it had reached a range of 80 meters. Within this 80-meter radius, although it was not omnipotent, No, but it's enough to overwhelm mountains and seas.
But now, his field power has been restricted again, and he can only use relatively weak psychic energy to explore the surroundings, and the detection radius is only twenty meters. This feeling of weakness reminds him of the time when he was imprisoned in the dream world by antimetics. scene…
After all, the penetration of psychic energy is not as good as that of field energy. I am afraid that even a thin plywood cannot penetrate it.
Immediately, Chen Chen's strength was weakened by 90%, and the remaining 10% was just his body's own strength.
However, Chen Chen had no intention of giving up. After all, he really wanted to find out the mystery of the USB flash drive. If the secret of the USB flash drive cannot be solved, Chen Chen would not be able to rest assured. Besides, this body is just a clone, as if there is Two lives, if one dies, the other will still be alive. Under such superior conditions, Chen Chen is naturally willing to fight for it.
These thoughts flashed through Chen Chen's mind. He only felt that he had arrived at an empty street. Strictly speaking, this place was exactly the same as the outside world, except for the intuition he felt when he stepped into the black mist. .
He could even feel the warm sunshine above his head.
However, Chen Chen understood that he had indeed stepped into the black fog, because his ears could no longer hear the sounds from the outside world, and the field energy was suppressed by invisible forces.
Not far in front of him, Zhao Shanhe and his subordinate Jenny were lowering their heads and doing something gently in front of their eyes. Chen Chen's spiritual energy spread and he saw that they were sewing with needles and threads. own eyes…
It is a good method to pull the upper and lower eyelids together and then sew them together with a needle and thread so that you cannot open your eyes to see the outside world.
However, Chen Chen knew that even though their eyes were sewn shut, they were not without the power to resist. After all, they still had the force power obtained from the "Star Wars" plane.
Chen Chen wasn't sure what the nature of the force was, but it was obviously a special power just like his own field energy and spiritual energy.
The key is that this kind of power can be suppressed by the reality anchor, which is worth pondering...
Chen Chen's spiritual energy spread over and directly collided with the force of the opponent's body. The two of them made movements in their hands at the same time, but the woman named Jenny smiled coldly, seeming to be gloating.
Zhao Shanhe, on the other hand, frowned and just wrapped himself in the force to protect himself.
Chen Chen slowly withdrew his spiritual energy, but he was shocked in his heart, because at the moment of the collision, he faintly sensed that the force seemed to be very similar to his own spiritual energy, and could almost be said to have the same origin!
However, unlike the complete version of spiritual power he possesses, the force power in them is like the weakened version of spiritual power given to the members of the "Power Rangers" by Chen Chen. It is just a special energy, but there is no possibility of any spiritual power. Energy seeds, rebirth and other more magical abilities.
Psychic energy and the Force are actually the same thing
Thoughts surged in Chen Chen's mind. When he combined it with the movie "Star Wars", a terrifying thought emerged in his mind...
"Unless I am a trillion times more powerful in the future than I am now, I will never step into the Star Wars plane!"
At this moment, Chen Chen thought so.
"Do you need my needlework?"
After Zhao Shanhe finished sewing his eyes, he said to Chen Chen without looking back, "I can lend it to you if you need it."
"No."
Chen Chen shook his head, "I think I should be able to stop myself, but I'm more curious about what will happen when I open my eyes."
"If you open your eyes, you will die."
Zhao Shanhe said coldly, "Since you don't need it, I won't force it."
With that said, he walked directly forward and entered this deep road.
Seeing this, Chen Chen directly followed the other party. The spiritual energy and force power of both parties occasionally collided intentionally or unintentionally. Gradually, Chen Chen also estimated that Zhao Shanhe's force power could spread within a range of about ten meters, and that Jenny was even more powerful. It is so weak that it can only spread within a radius of five meters around it.
This range is basically no different from a blind man.
As everyone knows, while Chen Chen was making predictions, Zhao Shanhe and Jenny were also shocked. In their perception, the mysterious power emitted by Chen Chen was obviously stronger than themselves, and the other party's range of perception was definitely beyond their own. This This feeling made the two people feel complicated and became more wary of Chen Chen.
Chen Chen followed all the way, and he found that the other party seemed to have been walking along that road. After walking about a kilometer or two, the buildings on both sides of the street and even the street itself began to show signs of damage. From time to time, there were pieces of steel fragments blocking the way. On the road, the three of them had to make a detour to continue moving forward.
Zhao Shanhe seemed to be heading to the location where Air Force One crashed.
Following increasingly dense traces, the three of them had been walking for about three hours. When Chen Chen felt that there were destroyed buildings all around, he suddenly sensed a huge monster appearing in front of him.
It seemed to be the nose of an airplane, but it was already badly damaged and even its shape was deflated.
After arriving here, Zhao Shanhe and Jenny couldn't help but stop.
Seeing this, Chen Chen also stopped. He continued to extend his psychic power forward, but suddenly raised his eyebrows because under his psychic observation, he discovered that there were no corpses in the plane.
Only then did Chen Chen wake up. He didn't see any corpses along the way. It stands to reason that after the Air Force One crashed, there must have been many residents in this neighborhood. Even if some residents were there, They escaped before the black mist spread, but at least some residents should have been trapped here because they had no time to escape.
But now, I haven't seen anyone, no one alive, no dead body.
However, Zhao Shanhe was not surprised at all by this. It was obvious that he knew many secrets, but he just didn't want to tell him.
"This is it."
Zhao Shanhe nodded, then turned around and walked towards a nearby building that was not completely destroyed, "Jenny's Force power is consumed a lot, we need to rest for a night before moving forward."
Chen Chen frowned. He knew that this sentence was told to him by the other party. Although his psychic power could still last for a long time, that woman's force power was much weaker and it seemed that she could no longer hold on.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen still followed the two of them, and asked at the same time, "You seem to be here just to come to this plane. What are you going to do next?"
"After Jenny recovers, we will enter the cabin, find the source of the black fog, and enter the real subspace from there."
Zhao Shanhe replied, "That's our goal."
"Warp space?"
Chen Chen's heart moved. Finally, the other party began to reveal new information to him.
"Subspace is the shadow cast by the universe."
Zhao Shanhe walked into a low shopping mall and said at the same time, "Everything has a projection, and the universe also has a projection, and the subspace is the shadow of the entire universe."
"Therefore, subspace does not belong to reality. It is a place where time, space, and matter are all meaningless. Naturally, there is no life, but it is full of indescribable things. In other words, it is a rule that makes The 'meme' that we hear so much is the simplest representation of that kind of rule."
Chen Chen listened silently without speaking.
"And this black mist is the airflow after the barrier between reality and subspace is broken."
Zhao Shanhe came to the mall and selected non-corruptible food in the mall. While selecting, he said, "This black fog is called the countercurrent of subspace. It is originally the product of subspace eroding reality. Once eroded, unless civilization is used, Otherwise, it would be impossible to dispel the power of reason."
Chen Chen's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately recalled that Zhao Shanhe had indeed inadvertently used the black stone slab to break through a small piece of black fog.
"After subspace erodes reality, countless unpredictable changes will occur, and various weird memetic effects will also begin to be born. Do you know why?"
Zhao Shanhe suddenly asked.
"Why?"
Chen Chen asked calmly.
“Because memes are what civilizes.”
Zhao Shanhe replied calmly, "Strictly speaking, memes are fragments of the principles of civilization. The erosion of reality by subspace will inevitably lead to the fragmentation of the principles of civilization, and the broken principles of civilization are memes."
Chen Chen's feet paused, and he felt a thunderbolt strike, and a feeling of enlightenment came over him. However, at this moment, he still gritted his teeth and asked, "Then, it's time for you to talk about the principles of civilization."
However, Zhao Shanhe just smiled mysteriously, "As the name suggests, the principle of civilization is the principle of civilization. You should already know what it is."
Chen Chen felt his thoughts wandering. He took a deep breath and began to silently digest everything he had just heard.
The three of them selected some packaged food in the supermarket in the mall, and then Zhao Shanhe took the initiative to find a well-enclosed double staff dormitory for Jenny and Chen Chen to live in.
"We're spending tonight here."
There was a hint of seriousness in Zhao Shanhe's eyes. He groped for the window, directly pulled up the curtains, and then took the initiative to lock the front door, making the whole room airtight.
Then, he lay down on the bed beside him a little tired and exhaled silently.
And that Jenny took the initiative to occupy the other bed.
Chen Chen observed Zhao Shanhe's actions and waited until the other person finished everything before asking, "What are you wary of?"
"I have no idea."
Zhao Shanhe sneered, "I don't know what will happen next, but don't think that we can be careless because we didn't encounter any danger along the way. Haven't you noticed that there is not a single body here, but Jenny and I Still remember, when we broke out of here, there were corpses everywhere in the black mist."
Chen Chen was also sitting on a chair nearby. He asked with some confusion, "So what did you encounter when you left the subspace countercurrent?"
“…”
Zhao Shanhe suddenly fell silent after hearing this, and after a long time he said, "We were chased by a black shadow before. The black shadow looked like a human, but I knew it was not a human. It killed three of my subordinates. Only Jenny and I escaped."
After saying this, Zhao Shanhe fell into silence again.
This time, no matter how much Chen Chen asked, Zhao Shanhe said no more.
Seeing this, Chen Chen had no choice but to sit aside, silently brewing his energy.
But now, Chen Chen also felt a vague sense of irritability deep in his heart. After all, humans are the creatures most accustomed to observing everything with their eyes. Although they can still use spiritual energy to observe their surroundings after losing their vision, it is like ultrasound, which has the most spiritual energy. It can sense the shapes and textures around it, allowing him to distinguish substances.
It's like black and white vision, and it's a black and white vision that can only be limited to a range of thirty meters. This feeling is very boring.
However, this irritability will not affect anything, Chen Chen can suppress it.
Chen Chen still somewhat agrees with what Zhao Shanhe said before, such as the need to close your eyes when entering the countercurrent of subspace, because he has experimented before. The unknown pattern sent back by the New Domain will be instantly destroyed if someone takes a look at it. Billowing black mist will erupt. Obviously subspace is closely related to eyes, or vision. No wonder Zhao Shanhe reminds him not to open his eyes here.
What's more, the premise of closing eyes can also confirm some clues when combined with the movie. In the movie, Dr. Will, who connects the entire main line, frequently sees his wife after death on the New Territory, and his wife continues to bewitch him. He, and every time he appeared, her eyes were empty.
Later in the movie, Professor Will gouged out his own eyes, claiming that only in this way could he see the 'reality' clearly.
As for what Zhao Shanhe said later, Chen Chen was even more touched. According to what Zhao Shanhe said, memetic effects are fragments of the principles of civilization, which is a bit scary to think about.
Because Chen Chen had already made a deep speculation before. The so-called principle of civilization is probably the 'Tao' of civilization. This is an abstract concept. For example, the world where Chen Chen lives and the world of "Black Hole Surface", They are all just ordinary technologies, and if something beyond technology begins to appear in this kind of world, is that equivalent to beginning to break the principles of civilization
When the principles of civilization are broken, some fragments of the principles of civilization will gradually appear. As Zhao Shanhe said, these fragments are the origin of memes—a twisted rule.
Is it precisely because it is a broken principle of civilization, subject to unknown distortions and subversions, that it presents all kinds of weird scenes
At this moment, Chen Chen felt that he was extremely close to the truth of the meme.
However, just as Chen Chen was thinking, the sky was gradually getting darker. Chen Chen could feel the sunlight coming in from the window receding quickly. At the same time, there seemed to be some kind of sound coming from the corridor outside the door.
Chen Chen subconsciously held his breath. After closing his eyes, other human senses began to increase. At this time, Chen Chen heard some kind of sound in the distance outside the door.
That seemed to be a footsteps...
