Calamity Dance

Chapter 7 Mysterious Man

All Xu Qingquan's questions have not received any reply.This made him a little anxious.He was a little worried that the sound might sound like hunters in the jungle imitating the calls of their prey partners to lead the prey they want to capture into their own traps.But after thinking about it, the current self is mostly just a mental state, far away from the real material world.Does anyone still hunt for lost souls?Everything now is beyond Xu Qingquan's original cognition.

"There's no need to hide it. If you want to say something? Then say it in the open. I'm already a dead person. Are you still afraid that you won't succeed?" Xu Qingquan wanted to use the aggressive method.Because he doesn't communicate with people very much, Xu Qingquan's speech is a bit clumsy.He paused for ten seconds and still didn't receive any reply.The voice seemed to appear randomly, without any logic.Xu Qingquan felt that he was being played with, so he stopped making unnecessary attempts and continued to study the three columns.

"The patterns on the cylinder seem to be arranged neatly and regularly. If this is a way of transmitting information, then there should at least be a beginning and an end." But Xu Qingquan was still unable to find these two points.Even if he walked countless times around the pillar, he still had no way of judging where to start looking at the entire route map.And if this is just an integrated circuit like the usual chip, or just a similar design drawing, then some traces of the circuit should be visible to some extent.From the chip board that is usually removed mechanically, it can be clearly seen that the different regional structures and the ways in which the regions are connected to each other.Even if you can't understand the function that the circuit diagram wants to achieve, you can still judge with simple logic.However, the pillar in front of him seems like a miniature maze, which is constantly unfolding on the surface of the two-dimensional cylinder, with no entrance or exit.This is true for all three pillars.

Although he couldn't understand the meaning of all the patterns on the three pillars, Xu Qingquan was unexpectedly fascinated by it, as if he was hypnotized, and he didn't know how long he looked at it.

The voice did not continue to appear, as if it was purely to lure Xu Qingquan here.The pillar has never disappeared, it has always been there. "What should I do next? Am I really going to stay here forever?" Xu Qingquan thought to himself.Some of the initial questions reappeared randomly in his mind.Xu Qingquan looked away from the pillar.Go around the pillars and try to find the exit of this cave temple, but things are counterproductive.Just like when he first walked in, the other side of the hemispherical cave seemed to be impossible to reach forever.

"It seems that we can only go back the same way." Xu Qingquan said in a low voice.He turned around, but the sight in front of him stunned him.The original way into the cave temple can no longer be found.He looked left and right, and it looked like he and the three pillars were in the very center of the entire cave, and the boundaries became out of reach, leaving only a thundercloud-like gas with a strong light above his head.Xu Qingquan was at a loss but could do nothing.

So be it.He sits down.Lean on one of the pillars.

"Do you remember all the paintings on the pillar?" The voice suddenly sounded again.But this time Xu Qingquan was not frightened, he had already expected that this person would speak.I don't know why, but it just feels that way.He smiled and said, "I can't even understand it. What's the use of remembering?"

"Oh? Whether you remember it or not is different from whether you understand it or not." The voice was very calm, and the tone was very gentle, as if it was spoken by a machine.

"Why don't you come out and meet each other?"

"How many kinds of existence do you think there are in this world?" The voice ignored Xu Qingquan's request.

"Okay. It's fine if you don't come out." Xu Qingquan thought to himself, "What do you mean by how many kinds of existence? How many kinds of what? How many species? Or how many human races." Xu Qingquan couldn't figure it out at all, so he could only answer, " I’m not sure, what are you talking about? If it’s a race, there are tens of thousands. If it must be divided into categories, it’s human and Homo sapiens.”

"Sure enough, he is still an ordinary person." The mysterious voice continued.

"Of course I am an ordinary person. I grew up in an orphanage. I didn't go to school much. I did a simple job of repairing machinery. I also encountered unlucky things. I was accidentally killed by an explosion." Xu Qingquan mocked slightly say.

"Do you think your planet is the only one in this universe?"

"Of course not. Although I have no culture, the universe is vast. There are places we have never been to, and there are always people living quietly somewhere. If you ask me that, then you are aliens!" Xu Qingquan was very calm.It's all like this, it's good to have someone to chat with.

The mysterious voice paused for a few seconds.Go on.The voice still lacked any intonation. "Civilizations like yours are countless in the universe. But no matter how advanced the technology is, all humanoid civilizations are only one-third of the mortal world."

"One-third? How do you understand it? Let's say it's one-in-a-billion!" Xu Qingquan was a little puzzled.

"There are only three kinds of mortal worlds. The first is the world of your humanoid civilization. The second is the world of beast spirits, and the last is the territory of the great artisans. The three worlds are interconnected and perceive each other, but they are independent of each other. .”

"Beast spirits? Beasts? Do you mean that all animals actually have their own spirit and civilization?"

"Besides, there are also three realms in the upper threshold - the highest heaven that spreads civilization, the elf realm of infinite wisdom, Alvar, and Schwassen, represented by strength and bravery." The mysterious voice continued to say to Xu Qingquan Looking at something weird that he had never heard of.He ignored Xu Qingquan's question, or maybe it was not a process of talking to each other, but this mysterious voice seemed to be reading a narration, saying something that made people feel foggy.

"These six worlds maintain everything in the material world. In addition to the material world, there is a corresponding inner world. The inner world is full of chaos and darkness." The mysterious voice stopped abruptly.Xu Qingquan did not continue to ask questions. "What nonsense? It's like listening to a fairy tale, and I can't remember some awkward names. Let this guy continue talking." He thought to himself.

However, the mysterious voice did not continue.The whole cave has also returned to the quietness just now, it should be the end of the speech. "It's really a strange thing. It's not the answer to the question. It's like a comic story." Xu Qingquan's world happens to have three parts.The orphanage where he lived as a child, the wandering life after escaping from the orphanage, and now repairing machinery among the low-class people, ordinary life without purpose.It's just that these three parts are unremarkable and not so mysterious.

"And then? No more?" Xu Qingquan always felt that he hadn't finished speaking.Just telling him what these worlds are for, there is always his purpose.

"The rest, you need to explore by yourself. All the mysteries are on these three pillars. You must have engraved them in your heart." The mysterious voice remained calm.

"Okay then. I'm in this ghost place, and I can't explore anything. Just treat it as hearing a story!" Xu Qingquan was a little helpless, but if he couldn't get out of here, he couldn't do much.

"Do you know how you got here? Do you know what you're looking for?" A mysterious voice floated around Xu Qingquan.

"I don't know anything! Don't ask me any more! It's the so-called Tuanyu who brought me here, right?" Xu Qingquan suddenly said this for some reason.I always feel that it is the mysterious energy source that Ren said revealed all this to him.

"Tanyu took you to the other world, but someone else brought you here. Keep the exploration in mind. You will always use it." The mysterious voice seemed to be guiding him.

"Okay, explore! When can I start exploring?"

"Don't be in a hurry, wait a little longer. What you need most now is time." It sounded like there was something in the words.But this mysterious voice didn't have any intention of explaining things clearly. "I have all the time in the world." Xu Qingquan thought to himself.He felt a deep powerlessness—a kind of regret from the bottom of his heart for the 30 years he had wasted in front of him.

This is the first time that Xu Qingquan has seriously thought about this question.For him, "escape" is the main theme of his previous world.Don't want to understand the world, don't want to understand other people, don't even want to get involved with anyone.But since the explosion, since he thought he was dead.The previous world gradually collapsed in his mind.

"So, where should we start to explore? First of all, you have to ask Ren, there is no doubt about it. He must know something. At least he knows what Tuanyu is. And he is a divine craftsman. The mysterious voice just now The third domain that has been mentioned in the mortal world is the grand craftsmen. It sounds like the magic craftsman in ordinary times. They are too mysterious. They have wisdom and skills beyond ordinary people. They can design Homo sapiens. This kind of thing already exists like a creator. They must know a lot of secrets in this world. As for other things, let’s put it away for now. By the way, let’s go back to the orphanage when you have time. I really don’t know what Xiaonan is doing now That's it." Xu Qingquan said a lot to himself.He gradually began to feel that he was not actually dead, but was locked in a magical place.Where he currently cannot understand.

Yes.All I need now is time.Xu Qingquan said to himself.He turned around.Continue to look at the three columns behind.Although it is not clear what the patterns and textures above mean?But these lines seem to have slowly climbed into Xu Qingquan's mind, becoming a part of his brain.
