Climbing the stairs wasn't too crowded at first, but by the last ten floors, there were more and more "fellow travelers."
Also because it was too crowded, Angel passively learned a piece of trivia - the total length of the corridors outside each floor.
Because there is more than one staircase on each floor of the ring fort, since there are many people on this staircase, let's change it. In the process of going around and looking for new stairs, Angel passively knew the length of each floor of the outer corridor.
: About three to five kilometers.
The outer corridor is already this long, and there are countless rooms and shops in the corridor. There are not many Qiankun inside, and the effective area will be even larger.
And this is just one layer.
The currently known main station of the ring fort has seven thousand floors.
Just thinking about it, you know how huge the ringed fort is. It is worthy of being the headquarters of the Jingmu clan and a true architectural wonder!
Of course, during the entire march, feeling the enormity of the ring fort was only a small part of the story. Angel spent more time feeling the sheer number of people on each floor.
For example, now, they have arrived at the 5495th floor, and have been walking in the outer corridor for almost five minutes, looking for more than ten stairs in a row. Every one of them is so crowded that they can't even squeeze through any gaps.
It's enough to see how many people there are.
There were a lot of people on the stairs, and there were also a lot of people in the aisles. At first glance, they were all crowded. Angel even thought about finding a shop to rest for a while, and let Luigi go to Pilu Xiu's station alone.
Click to add a page, but thinking about the Eye of Thunder and Pilusiu's various technological inventions, he still endured it.
It took them half an hour to get from the 5495th floor to the 5500th floor.
Angel thought that reaching the 5500 floor would mean he had survived the most difficult moment, but he was still too naive. As soon as he reached the 5500 floor, Angel saw a long queue.
After asking a random person in line, I confirmed that the end of the line was where Pilusiu was stationed.
Looking at the endless queue that could not be seen at a glance, from the clear field of vision directly into the misty clouds and smoke, coupled with the flashing neon lights of the surrounding shops, Angel felt a sense of cyberpunk fatigue.
Not to mention Angel, even Laplace frowned.
It’s okay to have to climb the stairs and be crowded. The queue is so long now, and I don’t know how long it will take. Laplace doesn’t want to waste time here.
Her eyes turned to Luigi.
Luigi raised his hand knowingly: "You guys find a place to rest first, and I'll go over and take a look. If we can contact the Pika Sage, we shouldn't have to queue up."
Without waiting for a reply, Luigi quickly got into the dense crowd and disappeared.
Laplace and Angel came to a nearby shop called "Pi Ruanruan".
This is a teeth-dying shop. Except for a dejected red-skinned Pilusi, there is no one inside. It is completely different from the overcrowded atmosphere outside. If you think about it, you will know that the tooth-dying trend is only popular among Pilusi.
Leather Castle may still be somewhat popular, but if you bring a tooth dyeing shop to a multi-ethnic gathering, how can you possibly attract customers?
Who would dislike the color of their teeth?
As for why Angel and Laplace came to this store, firstly it was because there were few people, and secondly it was because the sign said there was drink service...
They are not here to get their teeth stained, but to take a break through the wine service.
The shop owner, the red-skinned Luxiu, drooped his lips when he learned that they didn't stain their teeth. He was obviously unhappy. However, when he saw the crystal that Angel handed over, his smile changed.
Hooked up again.
Although the crystals are not too much, it is enough to pay for the drinks. As for Angel and Laplace taking a rest in the store for a while, this is okay in Pilusiu's opinion, since there is no one in the store now.
, their existence should also be regarded as a boost to their popularity.
For this reason, the store owner specially brought them to a position near the window, and they could see the long queue outside through the glass.
People outside can also see them drinking leisurely inside.
By creating contrast and contrast, to attract popularity... I have to say, this Pilu Xiu is still
Someone with some brains.
However, it's just a little bit of cleverness. If you really have great wisdom, you won't open the tooth dyeing shop from Pipi Castle here.
Pilusiu's little calculation was very good, but it was a pity that he met Angel.
Angel doesn't like to be looked at as a "scenery".
He just snapped his fingers and arranged a small illusion on the glass.
Looking out from the inside, the line of sight is not affected. But looking in from the outside, you can't see anything, only a piece of pure white wallpaper.
The shop owner didn't see anything wrong; he brought the drinks, then returned to the counter and stared out the window without saying a word.
Angel took a sip of the drink with the unknown packaging... It was a no-brainer, not bad but not good either.
It's enough for quenching thirst.
But it is not cost-effective to exchange Wu Ning Jing for such a bottle of thirst-quenching water.
However, it doesn't matter, their purpose is just to rest anyway, and the drinks are just a supplement.
"Can you see the painting you just mentioned?" Angel put down his cup and looked at Laplace opposite.
He was quite curious about how the "holographic live broadcast" mentioned by Laplace was operated, and what was going on with that painting?
Laplace nodded: "Okay, are you ready?"
"Ah? What have you prepared?"
"Go and see a painting."
Angel was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied: "Ready."
"Then go." The moment Laplace finished speaking, a familiar barrier was built around him.
Angel was not surprised when he saw the barrier. There might be some mystery in that painting. Since it was going to be a holographic live broadcast, it was natural to block everyone's sight.
When Angel was thinking this, suddenly, Laplace on the opposite side reached out his hand, and a strange energy began to condense on his fingertips, which were so green that they were almost jade-like.
The main body of this energy should be polymerization energy, but it is fused with a part of unknown energy. The specific energy is completely unknown to Angel at his level of energy research.————If Sanders were here,
Maybe he can understand it, but he can't understand it anyway.
Not long after, the energy on Laplace's fingertips condensed into flashing points of light.
The light spots floated up and down, and when viewed from a distance, they looked like they were holding a flowing river of stars on their fingertips.
"For your safety, I will block your perception and let you enter my field of vision." Laplace's cold voice echoed in Angel's ears...
Angel could understand every word in the sentence, but he didn't understand what it meant when put together.
Just when Angel was about to ask, the streams of light on Laplace's fingers slowly began to arrange themselves, like constellations, starting their own combination according to a certain established trajectory.
"Is this similar to an illusion node?" Angel secretly wondered, is Laplace planning to use these light points to create illusions?
Soon, this speculation was denied.
The arrangement and combination of light spots is very fast, and the composition of the self-structure is completed in almost a second or two.
When this structure was finalized, it did not form any illusion, but instead formed a rippling mirror of light points.
At Laplace's signal, Angel reached out his hand and touched the mirror.
At the moment he touched it, Angel felt a faint suction force. Angel did not resist and allowed the suction force to pull him into the mirror.
When Angel opened his eyes again, he found that he had left the tooth dyeing shop and appeared in an unknown void.
Surrounded by endless light spots, these light spots are moving rapidly, like stars swirling around.
Angel wanted to sense the surrounding situation, but no matter how he called for mental power, he did not get any response. Moreover, not only was the mental power unable to be sensed, but even the thinking space was unable to be sensed.
It was as if he had become an ignorant ordinary person.
"You don't need to feel it, you are now exposed to this kind of
Power will only make you lost." At this time, Laplace's voice sounded in his ears.
Angel looked around and saw no trace of Laplace.
"Where are you? Where is this place? Is it an illusion? What do you mean by what you said?" Angel asked.
After speaking, Angel's brows furrowed.
He felt like he was talking and heard his own voice, but it always felt hollow. It was like diving into the water with a swimming cap on. Even though he could hear the sound, he still felt alienated.
"Did you see the lights around you?" Laplace's voice sounded again.
Angel nodded, how could he ignore that light spot surrounded by stars.
Laplace: "These points of light are me."
Is the point of light Laplace?
Angel was just surprised when he heard Laplace speak again: "You don't need to be surprised, you can actually be counted as a point of light now."
Am I also a point of light? But Angel looked down at his body and found nothing unusual. He was still in human form.
Laplace "You can understand that you are now an aura, an aura of consciousness. And our position is in a void of consciousness. This void of consciousness has very strange and strange powers. If there is no anchor point,
It is easy to be assimilated by the surrounding forces. In order to prevent you from getting lost, I put a shell around the aura of your consciousness, which is what you think of as your body now. This body is also your anchor point."
To put it simply, Angel has actually turned into a point of light, but because he is in a very strange space, if he does not have a clear self-awareness in this space, it is easy to be attracted by external forces and get lost.
This is also one of the reasons why Laplace blocks his perception...
And how to let Angel have self-awareness is to let him have his own body and use the familiar body as an anchor.
Angel roughly understood what Laplace meant. His current body was fake, just an anchor point... No wonder he felt like he was talking when he spoke, and there was a strange alienation. Because, he
It is not speaking with the body at all, but a spiritual communication.
It's just that Laplace let Angel's body express it in an explicit way like "speaking".
Although he roughly understood the situation, Angel was still a little confused.
The void of consciousness... Laplace's description of it gave Angel a familiar sense of déjà vu————
Wang Wang once took him through the void storm and entered a high-dimensional passage. In that passage, Angel also saw various strange scenes. At the same time, according to Wang Wang, this high-dimensional passage can only be achieved by relying on talent.
Enter steadily. If you enter without guidance or enter by mistake, you will 100% be completely lost.
However, Wang Wang didn’t know at the time that this dimensional journey was not Angel’s first experience.
The Outer Eye took Angel on a journey to a higher dimension. At the end of that journey, Angel also learned the ability of the Door of Illusion.
And if the door of fantasy is opened with a special method, it will also lead to a fantasy journey... It is very likely that it is also a passage beyond dimensions.
How similar were the things back then to what is happening today?
Could it be that this so-called void of consciousness is also a high-dimensional journey?
Angel feels that it is very possible. In the research of many wizards, the concept of "consciousness" does not actually exist in this world, but in higher dimensions.
Laplace mentioned that this place is called "void of consciousness". If the concept becomes void, wouldn't it mean a higher dimension?
Angel asked about his guess.
After Laplace was silent for a moment, he replied: "I can't answer, but I am not the only one who can enter the void of consciousness. I have seen traces left by other lives here."
"If we really compare it in terms of dimensions, it may not be much higher than the dimension we live in."
"However, rather than talking about dimensions, I think this is a dangerous and secret world of consciousness gathering, similar to the dream world, which is chaotic and illogical. It is the mirror realm hidden deep in the world.
The other side of."
Whether Angel's guess is correct or Laplace's statement is correct, no one can give a conclusion at present.
But as Laplace is a frequent visitor to this "world", Angel feels that her answer may be closer to reality.
Not everyone has the ability to enter higher dimensions.
Putting this question aside for the time being, Angel looked at the "stars" surrounding him and asked, "Are we moving now?"
Laplace nodded: "Yes, the void of consciousness can move faster, but only consciousness can enter. And our destination is where my body is."
…
"We're here." Laplace's voice came.
It is difficult to perceive time in the void of consciousness, but Angel has been communicating with Laplace. If we estimate the time through dialogue, it should be no more than two minutes since he entered the void of consciousness.
When Angel was thinking about time, the surrounding "stars" began to arrange themselves together again, and after a while, a mirror reappeared in front of Angel.
"Same as before, you can leave if you touch it...my true body is outside."
After a pause, Laplace added: "By the way, I will still block your perception."
Laplace did not say the reason this time, but Angel guessed that maybe it was also for his safety?
After all, he had heard Luigi mention that just the breath released by Laplace's body unintentionally could cause shocking waves.
If he goes out and randomly senses the outside world, he might hurt himself.
Angel naturally has no objections to this. What he is more curious about now is... what is Laplace's body like? -
