"Why are you here?"
As if affected by the dead information system in the fragments of the world, Artemis called out quite belatedly until now.
"Something went wrong, let's check it out."
I said vaguely that the situation about the fragments of the world is becoming more and more complicated now. To deal with this matter well, I am afraid that I really need to think clearly.
"Come and check..." Artemis muttered to himself, and it took him a long time to finally understand the meaning of this sentence, "Wait, you mean, you can freely travel between the two worlds?"
"That's not difficult," said the elder sister indifferently. "To deal with troubles related to the world, crossing planes is an indispensable skill."
"In other words, you can help us..."
An ecstatic expression immediately appeared on Artemis' face, and he was no longer calm and decisive at the beginning. The girl with blond ponytail almost yelled out of control. to my face.
This kind of performance reminds me of Lilina back then. At that time, the guy who was naturally black in his bones used the same method to deceive me with a lot of sympathy, but now what I get is just a fake loli that is so bad to the bone. ... Uh, it seems that I am digressing again.
"Calm down." Elder sister immediately held down Artemis, who was a little out of control. We can understand the other party's mood. Behind this seemingly ordinary and prosperous world, there is a truth as cold as a tomb. I am afraid that no one would like to live here, and it is normal for us to have high hopes for us to be able to achieve the miracle of traveling through time and space, but in fact, solving this problem is a hundred times more complicated than imagined. We can't be sure of its cause or even its existence principle, and its appearance can't even be explained by Jingdong, let alone how to revive the dead world fragments. It’s probably impossible for Mies and the others to take them away from here. No matter how close to normal free will they have, they are information ghosts that died with the whole world after all, or in other words, an information complex that has entered an unstable quantum state and has not dissipated. , What will be the result of such a non-entity information ghost entering the main material plane? No one dares to take this risk.
So while I'd love to help this girl, it's really not that simple.
It didn't take too long for Artemis to calm down. This stubborn and strong girl has amazing psychological endurance. She is worthy of being a leader in both worlds. Her vision of judging the situation and the overall situation The outlook is far beyond her age.
We told Artemis about the difficulty of the whole matter, and although it was difficult for a high school girl to understand such a profound matter, she calmly accepted the fact that even we were temporarily powerless—this was a huge surprise than we expected.
"In short, everything is not hopeless," Lin Xue half-truthfully comforted the silent Artemis, who was biting her lip, "I can see the future, and you are still in it, but the specifics How to do it, we don’t know yet.”
"Tell me about the things in this world, what happened here, and what is happening now, is crucial to whether you can be saved."
Artemis shook his head: "I don't know, everything happened overnight. I was just an ordinary high school girl before, and I never thought that I would experience such a thing... That night was so ordinary, Tiger and I Wen and the others were walking by the school pool. Everything was fine, but... a very strong flash of light suddenly appeared in the sky, and in just a moment, we all lost consciousness... When we woke up, the world became In this way, it became a lonely city of death... "
"It may be a star explosion," the think tank headed by Bubble and Tavel sent the possible deduction results in real time, "But there are usually long-lasting precursors before the star explosion, which can be observed with the naked eye during the day. According to Artemis' description, the second one may be the "King's Lander" Genesis Flash, that kind of light can instantly vaporize the entire star system, which is in line with Artemis' description, and it is also in line with the fact that the planet is destroyed in a very short time. The generation of quantum ghosts—that is, the conditions for information fragments, but this possibility is the least, the power of the Genesis flash is mainly reflected in the destruction of tangible matter, its law is not strong, we need more information.”
As for the current state of the world, Artemis doesn't know much about it. She was just an ordinary female high school student before, no matter how talented she is as a leader or how strong her spirit is honed in subsequent experiences. , nor can she seal her lack of knowledge. The conjectures and laws she summed up about the "world of death" are of no use to us, and the only things worth paying attention to are a few terms.
The awakened ones refer to those students who gather around Artemis and maintain their will. As the key point of the information projection of the two worlds and the special link connecting the two worlds, the information around Artemis is very important. Active, even in this world enough to be called a small information flashpoint, which leads to the free will of her companions, and the occasional "awakening" of sleeping students in her place This is the reason why Lingyin "harassed" her classmates in the classroom at that time. She was looking for a companion, and this special power of Artemis was also one of the important reasons why she could become the leader of the "awakened".
However, the chance of "awakening" is quite low, even years after the destruction of the world (it may be longer, but the time here seems to be very chaotic, and any common timekeeping method is useless. Artemis is just They think that time has passed for a few years, but in fact their own time has stopped after the destruction of this world), and less than ten "newcomers" have been discovered. It is no wonder that Huwen and Ling Yin's surprise after seeing us.
Deep sleep is the complete opposite of waking up. In this dead world, "sleep" is a taboo word, which means losing all self-will and becoming a member of those walking dead "ghosts", which is sad However, compared with the low probability of "waking up", the possibility of "sleeping" seems to be quite high. There will always be students who are awake and suddenly fall into a deep sleep, becoming those who listen carefully in class and walk mechanically in the campus. When the world was destroyed and turned into a large piece of quantum information fragments, hundreds of companions gathered around Artemis, but now, there are only a few people who are still awake. Twenty people...
"Stay in a few special rooms in the building I'm sitting in, communicate often, even if it's meaningless conversations, don't hang out too much time, don't interact too much with those stiff 'ghosts' , and many other skills that we have gained after sacrificing hundreds of our companions over such a long period of time."
Artemis spoke slowly, with deep sadness in his voice.
What kind of strong heart can make an ordinary high school girl shoulder such a heavy burden
"We will try our best to help you, anyway, this does not contradict our original purpose."
The kind-hearted elder sister spoke sincerely to Artemis.
Yes, there is no contradiction. Although this fragment of the world poses a threat to our real world, this threat will no longer exist as long as the intertwined law lines between the two are separated, and separating them is originally Our mission, but the original plan was to destroy this floating fragment after the separation, but now we have to change it to save this place.
Although the second step seems to be a hundred times more difficult than the original plan, but... as my sister said, do everything you can, and if it doesn't work, let God Douding do it. No
We talked with Artemis for a long time. Of course, the main thing was Artemis' one-sided confession. This girl has been suppressed for too long. Although she is so strong, in this tomb-like city Living a nightmarish life, and being treated as the only support by her companions, such a burden is almost unimaginable for an ordinary girl, not to mention that since the information projection of the two worlds was interrupted for unknown reasons, she has not been able to continue. The "dream world" where we can talk about ourselves is also lost. Under this heavy pressure, even the strongest people will reveal their fragile side. After the person who became a dream character appeared in front of him, Artemis showed extraordinary enthusiasm, which made it impossible for people to imagine that this girl was actually the leader of the Olympus terrorist organization on Earth not long ago. She even almost subverted the entire human society
"By the way, what did you think at the time, to gain the power of a 'god'? Lead the Olympus organization to inform the world? These ideas are too vulgar, right?"
After gradually becoming acquainted, Qianqian became very curious about this former enemy, and she seemed to have become good sisters with him who talked about everything, and they almost got together intimately.
"This..." Mentioning this topic, Artemis immediately became embarrassed, "If I said that I only regarded everything as my own dream, or even a fantasy world of my own fantasy, would you believe me? Even now, I I also feel that you are a little unreal... "
Then we are together.
Feelings This is another female student who has been poisoned by YY novels, and she has read too much of the kind of World War Hegemony—er, it should be said that most of the boys read this kind of book, right
"It's getting dark, isn't it?"
While chatting, Artemis suddenly looked up at the bright sky outside the window, and said something without thinking.
"It's dark? The sun is still so high...well..."
Qianqian said strangely, but soon she couldn't continue, it seemed that the sun in the sky hadn't moved from the beginning, and it hung in the middle of the sky all day long.
In this world, everything cannot be explained according to common sense.
Sure enough, less than a minute after Artemis finished speaking, the sky outside suddenly darkened.
There is no process at all, as if God is a poor animation supervisor with a lack of funds, a sense of responsibility, and a lack of production team. In order to save costs, the gradient effect of dusk was directly canceled from the stage play called "The World", just the screen In a flash, with a sound of "biu", the starry sky replaced the original blue sun and clear sky.
Then, the pile of books and chair fragments piled up in the middle of the classroom completely violated the common sense of physics and spontaneously ignited. The blazing bonfire reflected the ghostly shadows of this large classroom, and Qianqian was immediately happy. Haha, I ran to play with fire with Lilina.
"Although it is very difficult to judge the exact time of this world, there are still traces of scenes such as day and night, which are related to the shape of the clouds in the sky, and for such a long time, there is a little law about this chaotic world. It’s also touched the edge.” Artemis looked at the bonfire that was burning brightly, but the books and wood chips under it showed no sign of scorching. “For example, this pile of flames will always burn by itself. , and when it turns blue, it's almost dawn."
"It's a weird world."
My sister and I looked at each other and sighed in unison.
“There is no sunset at all”
Sunset, such a bleak doomsday world, without the sunset, it is simply too incomplete, bastard
"Sunset? It was still there a few days ago," Artemis chuckled. It seems that it is always a very happy thing to be with a group of imperial leaders who have not slipped away for a long time, although I don't think I just sighed at all. What's so funny, "But it's gone now, now as soon as the time comes, it will be dark immediately, it's not excessive at all, God knows where the twilight of this world is."
The disappearing dusk
I suddenly remembered the dusk scene that must come every morning in the real world outside, and then sighed: "I think I know where your dusk is..."
"A collision of two worlds?"
After listening to my explanation, Artemis couldn't help opening her eyes wide. Law entanglement, information pollution, world collision, these series of rare terms got into her ears, making this young girl who is still at an age of curiosity (in In this world where time is stagnant, Artemis and the others really gained another meaning of immortality) aroused great interest, so I was just busy studying with Lilina how to roast the world tree shoots better After eating so much, Qianqian immediately jumped back, and began to drag Artemis to explain the model of the multiverse. This poor girl with the name of the moon god was poisoned by Qianqian's messy theories full of loopholes. …
At this moment, a deep "whoosh" sound came from nowhere and suddenly penetrated into our ears, like the whine of Night Breeze, which made everyone quiet.
"Ah... Ah Jun," Qianqian Chiliu got into my arms all at once, "Did you hear anything?"
"What the hell..." I hugged the trembling Qianqian in my arms, and looked around suspiciously. This girl Qianqian is not afraid of ghosts, but this kind of eerie whimpering sound makes anyone feel flustered. The usual prudent elder sister and the careless Lin Xue are fine, but Qian Qian, who is an ordinary girl with a normal personality, is already a little hairy.
"Boss, I'm afraid..." As soon as Qianqian calmed down, the vile loli Lilina next to me suddenly came over and slid into my arms as if joining in the fun. Well, she was knocked away by Qianqian's elbow.
"Oops, it started to move again." Artemis was quite calm, maybe this phenomenon is quite normal in this world
Just when I was about to ask something, the ground suddenly shook.
Then, like a collapsing dream, the walls around us suddenly collapsed
This is hard to imagine. Generally, some of the walls of buildings must be load-bearing walls. Once these walls collapse, the roof will definitely fall down, but when the walls around us collapse silently into rubble , the ceiling above unexpectedly... floated away sideways
What about roofs elsewhere? What about the corridor outside? Where did all those things go
After the mutation started, the activity room of the Chemistry Department was like an isolated island in the sea, bumping around violently. The corridors and stairs in the ancient building seemed to be alive, twisting and moving in our sight, and even a section of the stairs rubbed As Artemis' hair flew past us, a concrete base with a lightning rod and a half-cut steel bar slowly fell from not far away, and a classroom that was originally located on the first floor—or that The wall on the front of a classroom—but it rose up before our eyes, and then hung at the end of a corridor that had been twisted into an S shape. It was only at this moment that I suddenly understood why I saw a room that was supposed to be located on the third floor stairs. The ground floor guardhouse...
It's like an absurd nightmare, the whole building is distorted and deformed before our eyes, and everyone in it seems to be in the belly of a nightmare. Faced with such a strange scene, even my sister's face has a trace of Nervous, Qianqian even closed her eyes and curled her whole body into my arms. She didn't frighten her when she wiped out hundreds of millions of insect swarms in the Koprulu sector. Today, she faced this bizarre and absurd scene However, she was frightened instead—it was as if a brave warrior could kill countless enemies on the battlefield, but would still be awakened from sleep by a strange nightmare. The scene here was so bizarre that it was like a dream.
Although I also doubt that Qianqian can contact the "brave warrior".
As for Lilina, this little girl is also in my arms now, and she and Qianqian are on the same side. It can be seen that this guy is really scared now, I can feel the obvious trembling from that petite and soft body, That's why I didn't throw her out as usual this time.
"Ha, look at this nightmarish world"
Artemis stood unsteadily in this grotesque scene. Although the bumps made her falter, the girl still walked forward stubbornly until she reached the blazing bonfire, and then seemed to ignore the flames there. Generally, a book is drawn from it.
"It seems that this time will last for a long time, we can read the book first."
Artemis turned her head while holding the big book that was still emitting flames, smiling like a flower. V
