When his left hand just touched the characters, suddenly, a strange picture appeared in his mind, as if someone had directly inserted a painting into his mind.
Benjamin was startled.
It was a black and white solid color picture, with several small white dots arranged on the endless black surface.
By the time Benjamin came back to his senses, the scene had disappeared. The system is not here at the moment, and he does not have the ability to remember things with photographic memory, so he can no longer remember how those white dots are distributed.
Although he didn't know what those white dots meant, as soon as he touched the characters, the picture appeared in his mind inexplicably. This was definitely not something simple.
There is a very strange feeling.
After thinking for a while, Benjamin stretched out his hand towards the character again, and touched the character again as if he were just touching the water.
To his surprise, that picture appeared again. But this time, he was mentally prepared. When the picture briefly appeared, he tried hard to write down the shapes on it.
Suddenly, the scene disappeared, and Benjamin fell into deep thought.
In fact, it is a very simple picture. There are densely packed small white dots in the black surface, divided into two groups on the left and right in a quite orderly manner. Benjamin recalled the appearance of those little white dots, feeling like he was taking an intelligence test.
Suddenly, he remembered the "Hello" he had deciphered.
Could it be that... this is a similar expression
Recall the number of white dots in the two groups, and then compare them with the alphabet. Finally, Benjamin came up with the word "GO".
The moment the result was obtained, Benjamin was speechless.
This character... it's letting him go
Thinking of the "elemental plane" and "will of the water element" mentioned by the system just now, Benjamin suddenly had an idea - could the character in front of him be a self-aware creature
Suddenly, Benjamin looked around, and there were characters of different shapes everywhere. He felt a little confused when he thought that these things might have autonomous consciousness and "talk" to people.
Are these things... staring at me
After thinking about it, Benjamin waved and said hello to the character he just touched. But the result...don't even ask, the characters didn't react at all. Benjamin was embarrassed and felt like a fool.
It seems impossible to communicate using ordinary language...
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Benjamin simply held the character directly.
It feels cold when you hold it, like holding a smooth metal rod.
At the same time, that black and white picture appeared in his mind again. However, the white dots this time are different from last time and look a bit complicated. If Benjamin doesn't let go, the picture will not disappear. So, holding the character in his hand, he began to decipher the little white dots.
Finally, he deciphered a sentence.
"Do not touch me."
This is what that character conveys through the image.
It's just... Although the character expressed a feeling of reluctance, it never had any substantive response to Benjamin, let alone suddenly shocked and then bounced Benjamin away.
Thinking of this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
He looked at the character in his hand, and suddenly his heart moved. Not only did he not let go, but he started to use force, trying to tear off the character that was fixed on the pure blue background.
Unfortunately, this thing is very strong. No matter how hard Benjamin tries, he can't pull it off as if it's been painted on.
Not only that, as Benjamin exerted force, the images that appeared in his mind also began to change.
"You don't belong here."
This is the message Benjamin read after the new picture was deciphered.
Unfortunately, such a short sentence obviously did not satisfy Benjamin. He has tried for so long and still has not encountered any danger, which means that these characters will not hurt him. Therefore, he did not let go and was still trying. And as he exerted more force, the small white dots in the picture also changed.
Finally, the entire scene disappears.
Benjamin was stunned at the time.
"... Silent?"
He released his hand and held it again, but the black and white picture never appeared again, and there was no response at all. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly felt that maybe the other party found him annoying, so he didn't even want to deal with him.
Thinking of this, Benjamin felt helpless.
He didn't want to do this, but after finally entering the pure blue world, it was impossible for him to study this place more. His magic progress has stalled, and there's a good chance it will be answered here as well.
So, he turned around and found another character to touch.
However, these characters seemed to be communicating with each other. No matter how much Benjamin harassed them, they no longer had any reaction, not even the image that was poured into Benjamin's mind.
Benjamin scratched around in this blue world, but in the end, he got nothing.
He could only stop.
Even if ordinary physical methods no longer work, then... try magic.
He still remembered that the last time he performed magic in the pure blue space, he was kicked out in a blink of an eye, and incidentally caused a hailstorm in Freeden's Shady City. I don’t know what the reaction will be this time.
Along with the water polo spell, Benjamin suddenly heard a "ding" sound in his heart.
Benjamin was stunned.
When he came back to his senses, he found that something strange did appear in his hand. However, what he summoned was not a water ball, but a blue triangle character.
The dazzling blue light, regular side lengths, and notches on the corners... Benjamin was certain that these were the magic characters in his conscious space, and the feeling of mind-to-mind connection was absolutely unmistakable.
Did he summon the triangular character here
Looking at the shining runes floating in his hand, Benjamin felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
In the consciousness space, the magic characters cannot move at all. But here, as long as he thinks about it, this little character can swing left and right freely, as flexible as the water polo he summoned.
It felt like... everything in front of him was beyond Benjamin's knowledge. Confused, he could only choose his next move based on intuition.
After hesitating for a moment, he commanded the triangular character and flew towards a local character on the side.
—The character who was harassed by Benjamin for a long time in the first place.
As soon as the two characters came into contact, he heard a soft sound. Then, the triangular character belonging to him shone brightly, like a blue flame suddenly burning in the deep sea. The dazzling light made Benjamin squint his eyes.
This is…
Benjamin couldn't help but take a few steps back, and suddenly felt a pressure enveloping him. The pure blue world in front of me quickly became illusory, and the feeling of being in the real world suddenly disappeared.
In my ears, that ancient and obscure whisper came again.
"water!"
"water!"
“…”
Just like previous experiences, the whisper quickly amplified, completely engulfing Benjamin like a tide. It felt like ten thousand bombs exploded next to his ears, and the terrible sound wave made his scalp feel numb.
Damn...
Benjamin clenched his fists with both hands and gritted his teeth, trying hard not to be dizzy by the sound wave.
At the same time, he used his strongest will to keep this word in his heart.
"water!"
He tried to open his mouth and pronounce the word following the tsunami-like sound waves. However, he found that the harder he tried to open his mouth, the stronger the sound waves bombarded him, making him unable to bear it.
Without him realizing it, he suddenly began to rise, his lonely figure trembling slightly in the pure blue.
Benjamin began to feel a little unable to hold on.
In front of him, the blue light emitted by the triangular characters continued, becoming more and more dazzling. Under the influence of this dazzling light, a thought flashed through Benjamin's mind and he closed his eyes subconsciously.
And when he opened his eyes again...
In front of me is the new home in Changhe Town, and in my ears are the sounds of birdsong. The early morning sunlight filtered in from the window and fell on Benjamin's slightly narrowed eyes.
Benjamin was a little confused.
As if he had woken up from a big dream, his mind was still a little unclear. He sat up from his bed in a daze, dazed for a while, and then gradually came back to his senses.
what happened
After a brief hesitation, he immediately entered the conscious space.
In the space, three characters still shine. However, in this endless dark world, there were suddenly some strange blue ripples. They echoed quietly in Benjamin's consciousness space, just like the waves of microwaves caused by the jumps of water spiders on the edge of the pond in the afternoon.
