Doomsday Wonderland

When Lin Sanjiu recalled the next forty minutes, it was like recalling an unreal dream.

Although she escaped, everything was against her: there was only a vast ocean under her feet, and the edge of the distant land was blurry and thin, which could make anyone without a spaceship despair; even the effect of coffee was almost unbearable. As if there was a strong wind, her physical strength, body temperature and will were quickly lost in the cold wind.

The area of ​​the black square was not large, so Lin Sanjiu had to use his consciousness to tie himself and the other three people to a black square. It was like a rope, more like a spider's thread, so fragile that it was shaking in the strong wind, and it seemed that it would be swept up into the sky together with them at some point and separated.

Lin Sanjiu had to bite the tip of her tongue, using the pain to resist the waves of weakness and drowsiness, and turned through the puppet master's storage props again; this time, she looked at every item carefully. Once again, I didn't dare to let go of anything that might be useful.

They are not out of danger yet. Only by ending the effect of [Concept Collision] can the remaining people - especially Yu Yuan, who is running out of time - truly escape.

"In this world, God knows if there are more bodies of Oasis. If I activate [Concept Collision], another one will come to the door... everything will be in vain." Lin Sanjiu shook his head. Shaking his head, he continued to explain: "I thought to myself at that time, if we can't go to another world right away, wouldn't it be okay to use [Concept Collision] in an independent space separated from this world?"

From a certain point of view, the independent space itself is like a small world sandwiched between other worlds, and it is worth a try; not to mention, what other choice does she have besides carving a road from where there is no road?

"Like... [Bubble Space]?" Yu Yuan asked a little weakly.

Even now, when Lin Sanjiu looks at him, she can't help but feel fear, fearing that what she sees is still a woolen doll that is getting messier and messier, but is still pulling out threads and losing its shape - God knows, When she launched [Concept Collision] against Yu Yuan, she was so afraid that Yu Yuan would turn into a messy woolen doll with broken skin, broken bones, and bloody flesh after he regained his human body.

Now that Yu Yuan is completely beard, has a clear mind, and can still listen to her narration of what happened with the others, it is difficult for her not to doubt that this is not an illusion created by Oasis.

"But, we are not in the [Bubble Space] now, are we?" Yuan Xiangxi asked from inside the steaming white steam while holding a cup of hot tea, "I know that the [Bubble Space] will create a space that is exactly the same as the surrounding environment, but …”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Sanjiu understood and nodded towards him.

For a person whose life has ended long ago and has no fear in his heart, the consequences of the service that Oasis chose for him are the most profound horror in the world - everything has lost its meaning to Yuan Xiangxi, and everything has become "Unknown".

He was surrounded by a group of slender creatures with four limbs and one head, but he did not know that those creatures were humans and his friends; the ship deck, lights, overboard airflow... all the things he had become accustomed to were to him. It was all an accident and a fright. He was like a rabbit thrown into an alien society. In the fear and confusion, he wanted to run away and scream, but when he looked back, he forgot where he came from. .

After Lin Sanjiu finally replaced his [Concept Collision] effect, Yuan Xiangxi seemed to be drowning and suddenly took a breath of air; he waited for the last wave of fear to recede, then buried his face in his hands and fell silent. After a long time, he sniffed tremblingly.

"This is not [Bubble Space]..." Lin Sanjiu softened her voice and only said half a sentence, but was interrupted unexpectedly.

"I only have one [bubble space], and it has been destroyed." The puppet master said slowly, leaning on the velvet chair.

He had just woken up from the lingering nightmare. He was still a little groggy for a while and had not yet fully returned to reality. Like a child who had been sleeping for too long with a fever, the puppeteer's voice was still vague and nasal.

"Yes,"

Although the matter was urgent, after all, he used his things without saying hello, and later found several more storage props from him. Lin Sanjiu was inevitably a little embarrassed - "I used your one called [ [Kangaroo Pocket] subspace props... Its principle is the same as [Bubble Space], so I think it should be able to cut off Occultius's perception of his messenger. It has been more than ten minutes now, and he hasn't appeared yet, so we probably It’s already safe.”

This sentence was obviously neither sullen nor angry, and said nothing, but there seemed to be a hook hidden beneath the surface, arousing a silence soaked in thoughts among everyone.

Valley

Even Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but stop talking when he saw everyone was quiet. The emotions she could feel were so majestic and complex that words seemed to be able to describe only a small part of them; she was sitting at the table in a daze, as if she had a fever, not knowing whether she was warm or cold. I don't know if she wants to cry or laugh.

With trembling hands, she took a sip of tea from her cup. The tea slid down her throat and deep into her body, slowly allowing her to calm down - it was indeed a recovery tea bag found on the puppet master's body. It seemed that even the broken consciousness and the lost soul could be the same as the physical body. Being soothed and calmed together.

Yuan Xiangxi held the tea in his arms, looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then broke the silence and asked: "The scene created by this kangaroo space..."

"It was the last environment that made the user feel at ease before it was activated." Lin Sanjiu replied, and added: "It can only last for three hours, so when its time limit is almost over, we will return again. To a plane over the ocean.”

Yuan Xiangxi nodded; the room became quiet for a while, and the person who spoke again was Yu Yuan.

"The way Ousius appeared seems very familiar to me." Yu Yuan said softly with a calmness that was almost that of a data body: "I'm not saying that I have seen similar abilities... in my remaining stored data. , and there is no information about Orcius, so what he said is true, and he is indeed a low-key person."

"Then why do you feel familiar?" Yuan Xiangxi asked.

Yu Yuan paused for a moment and then said: "The way he appeared in Qiaotense's body and took over control of Qiaotense's body, don't you think it's a bit like a 'spirit'?"

Lin Sanjiu raised his head and stared at Yu Yuan.

"In many human cultures, there are traditions of communicating with gods in different ways... One of them is that people with unique physiques can have gods descend on themselves."

Yu Yuan put his hand on the tea cup, with the vine tattoos gently wrapping around and climbing on his skin, and said quietly: "The only difference is that Chotans does not have the right to choose whether or not to descend from the gods... When did Oelcius Appearance, emergence or absence is determined by a set of built-in mechanisms. The existence of Chotans was created to serve as a 'divination' for Oasis.

"Are you so afraid that you regard him as a god?" the puppet master asked coldly.

"No," Yu Yuan never gets angry at what the puppet master says, "but his existence is probably infinitely close to that of a god."

As if the air had been sucked out for a moment, Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth but said nothing.

"Think about it, Chotans actually doesn't exist, right?" Yu Yuan sighed lowly and said, "He has no parents, no friends, and no process of growth and evolution. The human body we see , it has been what we have seen since the first day it appeared in this world. In other words, Oasis has done something that no data body can do - he created a life out of thin air."

Seeing that no one spoke for a while, he continued: "He not only created life, but also gave it independent memory, independent personality, and even gave it the ability to evolve...Have you ever heard of someone who can give others the ability to evolve? ? However, such a complete life can be evacuated at any time according to Oasis's wish and turned into a container to accommodate the gods."

"So, God just lacks a container." The puppet master lowered his eyelids, and the color slowly spread like a storm. "We don't know where or when Mr. God will come down next."

But at least Chotans proved one thing.

When the [Kangaroo Pocket] time limit came and several people stood up to prepare, Lin Sanjiu still stubbornly held on to a self-comforting thought in her heart.

She put down her tea cup and stood up, approaching the door and looking back at the spaceship restaurant one last time. Pale white lights illuminated the empty restaurant, and the sky outside the ship's window was bright and intensely blue.

He proved to Orcius that he had survived.
