"Sister Cen..." Luo Wei and Wu You cried and threw themselves on Yue Cen's body, but Gu Qingqing wiped away her tears and stood up and looked at everyone: "Sister Cen said, 'bugs, long bugs, our faces' ."
Everyone looked at each other suspiciously. In the last note, Wan Yu also saw a long bug with the faces of herself and her companions in a dying state. Unexpectedly, Yue Cen saw the same bug.
But what is hard to explain is that if what Wan Yu and Yue Cen saw were ghosts, why would ghosts have the faces of them
And if these are just hallucinations of Wan Yu and Yue Cen because their lives are in danger, how can they explain that they both saw the bugs and not something else
"Will bugs be the key?" Shao Ling's sweaty hair fell back to his forehead, which made him look anxious and embarrassed.
He looked at Mu Yiran, and saw that he was still frowning deeply in desperate thinking, his tall figure was still straight and firm, and Ke Xun, who was standing beside him, was calmer than ever. Shen Yi, he wiped away his tears, sealed up the deep affection he used to have for his companions, and regained the strength and belief that he had always been extremely powerful. Now, he is steadily accompanying the pastor in a state of rationality that is almost cold. Yi Ran's side is the strongest support for his spirit.
"Insects must exist in a dimension we can't see," Ke Xun heard his question, and answered him calmly like a machine, "Wu You, stop crying, wipe your tears, check again, can you see something unusual."
Wu You wiped his face with his sleeve, nodded and said hoarsely: "Okay, I will always use the method of looking at the bones to look at..."
Look at every dead companion.
"For the time being, there is nothing unusual." She looked at Yue Cen carefully, then at Wei Dong and Fang Fei who had already sacrificed, and finally looked at the infinitely terrifying tornado that she was so afraid of.
On the altar, the blood of Wei Dong and Fang Fei was still flowing, as if the blood in the whole body should be drained cleanly. The blood of the three people is also slowly connecting into pieces.
"We got too little information..." Shao Ling grabbed his hair, "Why is it a 'bug'? A bug... a bug... does a bug say anything? A bug... a bug?! Could it be—could it be Dayu?!"
"Why Dayu?" Ke Xun asked.
"The word 'Yu' is explained in "Shuowen", and it is written as: 'The insect is also, from the scorpion, pictographic'. A well-known scholar of the antiquity school thought that the Great Yu was probably an animal cast on the Jiuding.
"There are strange things in the world engraved on the Jiuding, and Yu is the most powerful animal among all the animals on the cauldron, or its image on the Jiuding happens to be doing soil and water control, so there is a legend of Yu's control of water, plus the following Through word of mouth and continuous beautification, 'it' was gradually passed down as 'he', and an animal image on Jiuding also became the owner of a generation.
"In addition to the explanation in "Shuowen", this scholar thinks that Yu is a kind of insect." Shao Ling forced himself to calm down like Ke Xun, and worked hard to check the relevant information stored in his brain. "However, this statement is very controversial. More scholars believe that Dayu is indeed a real person-could it be that what Wan Yu and Yue Cen saw really was... Yu?"
"Then why does 'Yu' have our face on his body?" Ke Xun asked calmly.
Shao Ling shook his head: "I can't explain..."
"And why is Yu in a dimension that only consciousness can reach?" Ke Xun's eyes fell on Yue Cen's pale face, "I think the key words are two: bugs, and high dimensions."
"—Bug, high-dimensional—" Zhu Haowen turned his face sharply to look at him, "You know, if you look at a creature in a three-dimensional space in a four-dimensional space or possibly a higher-dimensional space, you will see a long line Long bugs - because 4D beings are not bound by time, they can see everything happening in the entire timeline at once.
"For example, when we look at things, we can only see what is happening in front of us, but we cannot see what has happened in the past and what will happen in the future, but four-dimensional or higher-dimensional creatures are different, they can see the past, the present, and the future at the same time. In the future, they can see what happens at any point in time.
"So if they can see the creatures in three-dimensional space, then the shape that the three-dimensional creatures show at each point in time will be presented to their eyes at the same time.
"For another example, if I walk from here to Shao Ling's side, it will take three seconds in total. In the first second, I take my left leg, and I am one step away, and in the second I take my right leg, two steps away. In the third second, the left leg is located next to Shao Ling, then in the eyes of high-dimensional creatures, the current me, the first second, the second second and the third second me all appear at the same time, imagine - this What does it look like when several images appear in front of you
"It's like the special effect of the motion track. All the time points of me are connected together, and the track of my silhouette forms a long line - like a bug. That's why Wan Yu said that the bug is covered with human faces. , that's because the bug is connected by countless images of our bodies!
"So-so after the consciousness of Wan Yu and Yue Cen was separated from the body, they came to a higher dimension. Looking at the three-dimensional space where our bodies are located in the higher-dimensional space, what they see is the behavioral trajectory of the 'full time period'. !
"—This shows that when we die, consciousness really goes to high-dimensional space, and it can really exist without the body!"
"That is to say, maybe we can really try to fight the power of ghosts in the form of a conscious body after the body dies?" Shao Ling clenched his fist.
"... Not sure. If our conscious body still has memories and beliefs after our physical body is completely dead, why can't we notice the slightest change in the situation?" Zhu Haowen pointed to the top of the head that once again protruded from the wind membrane. The dark and terrifying monster, "At least with Fang Fei's personality, if she still has memories and beliefs, she will always do something to stop this ghost, or, even if she still has memories and beliefs, she may not have any ability. Do anything but... watch."
This is disappointing and once again falling into despair, everyone has had time to ignore, that terrifying monster is struggling to get out of the wind again, and wants to rush towards the people below with a fierce and violent attitude!
"Need... need to be connected-" someone shouted in a hoarse voice.
Someone needs to die next, now, right away, right away.
"Brother Qin," Li Xiaochun suddenly held the meat-picking knife he brought in his hand, "you have to prepare the rescue needle. If one needle is not long enough, just two needles. If two needles are not enough, then three needles. The idea is to let me return to the light a few times, and I try to say more about what I see."
"Xiaochun—" everyone called him sadly.
But what can I do, knowing that I can't stop it, I can only watch it helplessly.
"Brothers and sisters," Li Xiaochun clenched the knife with trembling hands. "Although I don't want to die, I'm not afraid of death. You don't have to feel sorry for me. There were many things that I offended before, don't take it to heart, I'm leaving, goodbye!"
At the moment when the blood splatters, don't start, close your eyes hard.
"Wu You!" Ke Xun was always calm and stopped drinking. Wu You had already stopped his head. Hearing the sound, he immediately reacted. He hurriedly turned back, enduring the great sadness and pain, and looked at Li Xiaochun who was in the process of falling. .
Qin Ci was by Li Xiaochun's side, supported his body, carefully laid it down on the altar, took the pulse, read the heart rate, took the needle, injected it, and pulled the needle.
Another companion, pulled back from the brink of death, was drowning in the pain of annihilation and struggling.
"Insect... Zhu... You're right..." Li Xiaochun spit out words with difficulty, the pain made him groan and twitch. The stop continued to rush outward, allowing him to feel the blood draining from his body with the utmost cruelty in the last few seconds of his life.
"...Cen...they..." Li Xiaochun tried his best to move his eyes, and finally stopped in the direction of looking at Mu Yiran.
"What did he want to say in the end?" Shao Ling took a few steps and rushed to Qin Ci's side, "What did he say in the end?"
Qin Ci shook his head slightly: "Just talk about 'them' and there's no more."
"It's too short... it's too short..." Shao Ling's nerves finally collapsed, he shook his head and closed his eyes in pain, "Do we need to die like this one by one, using only three words that can only be said? Five words, slowly come up with the truth?"
"Have you seen Li Xiaochun's hand?" Ke Xun's voice suddenly appeared beside him, seeing him crouch down, looking at Li Xiaochun's hand tightly clinging to the ground.
This hand had been blistered blood red with his own blood, and his fingers were splayed out, digging hard on the ground.
"What does this represent?" Gu Qingqing asked tremblingly.
"He wants to show us," Ke Xun said. "He wants to show us with his fingers what he can't say."
"The ground? The altar?" Shao Ling looked at Li Xiaochun's blood-red and twisted fingers, his eyes became hot.
"There are three possibilities," Ke Xun was terribly calm at this time, "one possibility refers to the altar. Combined with what he said at the end, he said Sister Cen and Dongzi Fangfei, I think he meant to say them The place where the consciousness of the three is at this time. If it refers to the altar, then maybe the consciousness of the three of them is attached to the altar;
"The second possibility is that in the altar, that is, under the surface of the altar, his fingers are on the ground. If it refers to the ground of the altar, I think the hand should be flatter. Like slapping the ground with the palm of the hand, this gesture is more like pointing to the ground, and his fingers are digging, I feel like I want to rip the ground away, so it may also refer to the altar. internal;
"The third possibility is blood. There is blood all over his body, his fingers are bent, and his palms are empty. In addition to scratching, it seems to be grasping or closing. There is no such thing on this flat altar. Anything that can be gathered up is only blood, and he thought it might be blood.
"Wu You, did you see anything just now? At Xiaochun... at the moment Xiaochun left."
Wu You nodded desperately, tears were thrown down, and she choked out: "I saw a very weak light that was pulled away from Xiaochun's body, but it disappeared immediately after only a moment. "
"What kind of disappearing method?" Ke Xun asked, "Is it drifting away, or is there a direction of disappearance?"
Wu You pointed to the altar floor: "It disappeared down."
"Down?!" Shao Ling repeated in surprise, thinking that it would float in the air like a soul out of body in people's imaginations or fly directly into the sky, "Could this faint light be Xiaochun's conscious body?"
"I think so." Zhu Haowen said.
"Why is it going down?" Shao Ling stared at the ground of the altar. "The last note said that Wan Yu's consciousness was floating in the air, why is Xiaochun going down?"
"Maybe it's because when Wan Yu's consciousness was detached from her body, she was under the altar, while Xiaochun is on top of the altar at the moment," Ke Xun said, "and at that time, Wan Yu shouldn't have come before the demon. At the last moment, otherwise why is her consciousness still 'floating' in the air, while Xiaochun's disappears in a flash
"I think the problem lies in this altar that is about to open the gate of the ghost world.
"Wu You, take a closer look at the altar and look down. When you observed the altar before, did you not see the inside of the altar through the blood? Now you can see through the blood, through the ghosts composed of these blood. Read the text."
Hearing this, Wu You gritted his teeth and stepped into the pool of blood of his companions, trembling, sobbing, and trying his best to suppress his grief and fix his eyes on the bloody ghost altar under his feet.
"—There seems to be something—" Wu You exclaimed, his tone twisted with eagerness, "There is something under the altar!"
