80
Ning Gu still remembers clearly the time when Chun San described the dewdrops that first appeared and the detectors that were forcibly sucked in as soon as they approached.
Although Lian Chuan held his hand tightly, he still grabbed Lian Chuan's hand when he was quickly approaching Luzhu. Out of loyalty, he also reached out to Jiuyi and wanted to grab him as well. In case there was any problem when they went in, at least he would not be alone at the beginning.
But before he could grab Jiuyi, Jiuyi slapped his hand away.
Don’t know what’s good for you!
Before Ning Gu could glare at him again, the light of the dewdrops had already enveloped them.
In the blinding moment, he felt the wind.
The strong wind, as strong as the wind in a ghost town, made his face tremble. Not to mention that he couldn't open his eyes in the strong light, even if there was no light, it would not be easy to open his eyes in the wind.
The goggles were still hanging on his waist, but in this situation he didn't dare to reach out to take them, for fear that if he accidentally lost his grip, the goggles would be blown away by the wind.
The blinding light slowly faded away.
But the wind did not change, it was still blowing wildly, Ning Gu could even feel them starting to roll in the wind.
He gritted his teeth, grabbed Lian Chuan's hand, and tried hard to open his eyes.
Although the light was gone, what he saw was not the all-black darkness that he had seen countless times before when he entered consciousness.
bright.
In the gray-black background all around, there are countless strips of light of varying lengths.
At first glance, it looked a bit like Ye Xi's "Memory Galaxy", but the lights were much smaller than the memory fragments and were not close to them.
The light just hangs around.
They were like being in a windy passage surrounded by countless lights, rolling continuously in one direction. They couldn't even tell whether they were being blown away or the lights around them were moving.
"Lianchuan!" Ning Gu shouted.
The sound was very clear in the wind, which made him feel a little relieved, but the state of rolling wildly in the wind made him very uncomfortable, and several times his hands around Lian Chuan were almost twisted away.
"Yes." Lian Chuan's voice came from the side, "Where's Jiu Yi?"
"Jiu Yi!" Ning Gu shouted again. In the dizzying gap, he did not see any shadow of Jiu Yi around, and suddenly became a little nervous.
Although I wanted to curse him and say that he deserved it, but he had brought Jiuyi here to help, and now he was gone. It was really unacceptable. A person who would cut off his brain at any cost, lost his life just for helping...
"Nine Wings!" Ning Gu roared.
"In front." Lian Chuan said, "I saw him."
Ning Gu looked several times while tumbling, but he didn't see Jiu Yi. He couldn't tell the front, back, left, and right at all. Now he was tumbling up and down, and he couldn't tell anything at all.
"He's faster than us. We need to think of a way..." Lian Chuan, a pioneer experimental subject, paused for a moment when speaking in this situation, "Chase after him, otherwise he will be blown away."
The word "blown away" was used in a very clever way, which made Ning Gu's uneasiness deepen.
In an instant, I felt that they were like debris blown by the wind in a ghost town, with no idea where they came from or where they ended up.
Lian Chuan hooked his legs around his waist, and the two people's tumbling and spinning suddenly slowed down.
Ning Gu finally saw the Nine Wings in front of him.
He was very shocked: "Why does he have a base?"
As expected of the Lost Valley boss who always had to find a black iron pillar to support himself no matter he was squatting or standing. Even in this state where he was still confused about the situation, there was actually a black thing under Jiuyi's feet. He just squatted on this thing and was tossed by the wind.
Also because of this seemingly heavy thing, his rolling speed was slower than Ning Gu and Lian Chuan.
"Nine Wings!" Ning Gu roared again.
“What are you doing!” Jiu Yi rolled over and turned his face three times before he looked at him. “Hold on tight. If it gets blown away, it will be hard to stick it back together.”
"What are you stepping on!" Ning Gu pointed at his feet, "Pull us over! I'm about to vomit!"
"You think I want to step on it!" Jiu Yi roared, stood up, and then spun madly in the wind for six or seven times, and then squatted back down, "This is a piece of black iron!"
"When did you add black iron to your feet?" Ning Gu was shocked.
"It was sucked onto his feet." Lian Chuan pulled Ning Gu's shoulders and controlled the two people's rotation. The wind carried them forward a long distance and they soon approached Jiu Yi. "It might have been sucked onto his feet when he entered the dew. The black iron was magnetized by the main city's weapons."
"Can it be taken off?" Ning Gu continued to be shocked. Is Jiuyi going to have to keep this piece of black iron hanging on his feet forever
"If you can't take it off now, you can't take it off." Jiuyi stretched out his hand and kept rotating in the opposite direction of them.
After a few rounds, his hand finally joined Lian Chuan's hand, and the three of them quickly hugged each other in tacit understanding, and finally they didn't roll so violently.
"This looks like a wind tunnel." Ning Gu recovered and looked around. "This doesn't look like consciousness. It should be a place that exists in our world."
"There is no place where there is existence," Jiu Yi sighed softly, "It can only be said relatively."
"What are those lights?" Ning Gu was finally able to stare at them and observe them. "There are rows and rows of them, and each group of lights has a different shape."
"Code." Lian Chuan said.
"Yes." Jiu Yi confirmed.
"Code?" Ning Gu was stunned. "Is it Ye Xi's program? Are we in his program?"
"The source of everything is a program," Lian Chuan said, "Every world is run by the program. In his consciousness and memory..."
"So is this outside the black fog?" Ning Gu squinted his eyes and looked around.
Where is the border? What is outside the black fog
"This may be the other side of the world you want to go to," Lian Chuan said.
"I don't want to go now." Ning Gu said.
"It's like a passage, randomly entering a certain world," Jiu Yi said, "That's probably how the number n came about."
"How did he get here with Dewdrops?" Ning Gu said, "Like us?"
"This wind tunnel should only lead to our world," Lian Chuan looked back and saw the direction they came from. It seemed that they could still see the end from a distance. "There will be other wind tunnels. If he follows the scavenger, there may be other ways."
"Then what should we do?" Ning Gu asked.
"Are you hungry?" Jiuyi asked, "Fulu gave you rations, but you were in a hurry to get married and didn't wait for him to come back."
"Not hungry!" Ning Gu said.
"If you're not hungry, there's nothing you can do," Jiu Yi said, "Just being alive is fine. I don't mind staying like this with you two."
"I mind!" Ning Gu glared at him.
"Then let go." Jiuyi said.
"Why don't you let go?" Ning Gu said.
"This is my black iron." Jiuyi said.
Ning Gu didn't say anything, he retracted his legs and his feet left the black iron.
"You..." Jiuyi glanced at him.
"Shut up." Lian Chuan finally spoke.
"Why don't you tell him to shut up?" Jiu Yi said.
"He's not speaking now." Lian Chuan said.
If they stop bickering, they will find that time is particularly long, even though Ye Xi has always told them that time does not exist.
But as they tumbled and spun in this wind tunnel, for them, time not only existed, but also continued endlessly.
It was not until Lian Chuan discovered that the air duct was narrower than before that Ning Gu realized that his face was almost numb from the wind.
"Can you try to move a little to the side?" Jiu Yi asked.
Before, they were a long distance away from the glowing codes around them, and with the speed of the wind, it was impossible for them to get close laterally. But now the wind duct has obviously shrunk a lot, and it has become less difficult to move laterally and try to get closer to the lights.
"Lean over there." Lian Chuan said.
The three of them tilted in the same direction, and then spun dozens of times like they were doing somersaults.
When he finally managed to control himself and stop, Ning Gu coughed, "Fortunately, I didn't eat anything."
"It's very close." Lian Chuan said, "Keep going, or you'll be blown back to the middle."
The three of them pressed sideways again, this time with more concentrated force, and they quickly approached the lights.
Ning Gu could clearly see these arranged, glowing letters.
Apart from being able to recognize that these were letters and various symbols and not words, he couldn't understand anything else.
Lian Chuan stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the light to see if these things were solid and whether he could make them stop in the air duct.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Jiu Yi suddenly pulled his hand back: "Don't touch it!"
Perhaps because of the mask blocking the wind, Jiuyi's eyes were more protected than the other two. He pointed into the light: "There's something."
Lian Chuan also saw that behind the lights... no, there was something in the middle of the lights.
Ning Gu glanced over and saw a figure.
Then comes the second one.
The third one.
Seven or eight black figures seemed to be poked in the air by strings of glowing codes.
However, these human figures are not complete human shapes. They seem to be being decomposed. The edges of the figures are blurred and black fragments keep floating out.
"Is it a scavenger?" Ning Gu said in a low voice.
"Aren't the number of scavengers just a few too few?" Jiu Yi also said in a low voice.
Before they could take a closer look, the wind quickly blew them away from the location of the figures.
"We have to find a way to stop," Jiu Yi said, "This place is too strange."
The wind duct became narrower as they went further back, and they were getting closer and closer to the light around them.
If they don't stop, they might end up being squeezed into these glowing codes.
Maybe the next figure to be poked in the air and slowly disintegrated will be the three of them.
Ning Gu raised his left hand.
The golden light from the fingertips drew a long strip of light in the wind duct.
Immediately afterwards, the light band exploded, creating a golden passage in the air duct.
The wind stopped at that moment.
It was as if there had never been any wind. When the three people stopped, they didn't even feel the forward inertia. They were suddenly suspended in the air.
"Stop?" Jiu Yi asked.
"Stop." Lian Chuan said.
"What should I do?" Ning Gu looked around.
Jiuyi's hand slowly reached out to the glowing code next to him. When he got close, his fingertips stretched out and pierced into the glowing letters.
Then they saw that Jiuyi's finger spikes seemed to be dissolved in the air, turned into small fragments, and quickly dissipated.
"I shouldn't have come in with you," Jiuyi withdrew his hand and looked at his fingertips, "This is a road to self-destruction."
"Ning Gu."
A voice came from the code that Jiu Yi had poked.
The three of them turned their heads sharply and stared over there.
Ning Gu saw his own face, a huge face, looming behind the light, like a wall.
"I thought I was the only one who found this place," said Face.
"What is this place?" Ning Gu didn't have time to be surprised.
"The beginning," said the face, "and the end."
"Who are you?" Jiu Yi asked.
"Countless failures," said the face, "countless new lives."
"This is where the world is randomly generated," Lianchuan said.
"No," said the face, "there's only him and me here."
"I understand," Jiuyi said, "Only Ning Gu will definitely show up. The others will disappear if they disappear. Are you the Ning Gu who followed Luzhu?"
"My name is not Ning Gu." said Lian.
"I don't care what your name is?" Jiu Yi said, "I just ask if you are."
"Yes," said Face, "but I'm not the first one to find this way out."
"You're already like this," Jiuyi looked at his face, "Can you still go? What's the point of finding it? You're just a face left."
"Just let Ning Gu disappear." said Face.
"Then you are dreaming." Ning Gu said in a cold voice.
The face said nothing more and slowly backed away.
Just when its face became a little blurry, it suddenly rushed forward again, and its face suddenly became larger and clearly visible behind the code.
Ning Gu felt a huge suction force and was suddenly pulled towards his face.
Lian Chuan and Jiu Yi grabbed his collar at the same time.
A net woven with cold light rolled towards his face as Jiuyi waved his hand.
The face was cut into countless small pieces, like a high-level puzzle, but the suction did not disappear.
Moreover, the suction was so strong, and they had no foothold at all. Even though Lian Chuan and Jiu Yi were pulling him, they couldn't resist it and kept moving towards his face.
Ning Gu soon discovered that this force was only directed at himself. He gritted his teeth and let go of Lian Chuan's hand.
From what Lian said before, he could be sure that his existence in this world was inevitable. Compared with Lianchuan and Jiuyi, he would have a greater chance of survival even if he was sucked over by Lian.
"Let go!" he shouted.
"Don't dare to let go," Jiuyi said, "If you let go, Lianchuan will kill you."
Jigsaw Face suddenly smiled.
Ning Gu felt himself being suddenly pulled forward.
The force came too suddenly, and Jiuyi's hand that was pulling on his collar slipped away.
Then Lian Chuan's hand suddenly loosened.
Although Ning Gu asked Lian Chuan to let go and hoped that he would let go, the moment Lian Chuan let go, he seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength. An indescribable feeling of loss and despair swept over him like a black mist and rushed towards his face.
"Don't!" Jiu Yi roared.
Ning Gu saw from the corner of his eye that Lian Chuan suddenly kicked Jiu Yi and used the force to rush past him.
Like a bolt of lightning, it struck that face.
The face, which was already a puzzle, was instantly shattered into pieces after being hit by Lian Chuan.
Ning Gu felt that the force pulling him disappeared.
After being stunned for a few seconds, he roared, "Lian Chuan!"
All that was left in front of me were the glowing, dense codes; that face and Lian Chuan were no longer visible.
Ning Gu waved his arms frantically and tried to pounce on the place where Lian Chuan disappeared, but Jiu Yi held him back: "Don't do meaningless things!"
"Let me go!" Ning Gu pointed at him, "Let me go."
"If you go in," Jiu Yi also pointed at him, "Lian Chuan's death would have been in vain."
"You are the one who died!" Ning Gu roared, "You are the one who died!"
Jiuyi adjusted his mask and quickly corrected himself: "If you go in, Lianchuan's bet for you will be in vain."
Win every bet.
Ning Gu gritted his teeth and his whole body was shaking.
The golden light emanating from the feet was mixed with strands of dark silver.
"I want him to be alive." Ning Gu's voice was hoarse, and each word he spoke was filled with anger that made Jiuyi feel fear.
