My back room sand table

Chapter 1 The Layer of Disorder
  In the endless monotonous yellow space, the rancid and damp carpet exudes a disgusting smell, and the fluorescent lights make an endless low hum...

Apart from this, it seems that this space will not undergo any more changes and will remain like this forever.

Ta, tap, tap...

Amid the never-ending hum of the fluorescent lights, there was another voice.

Xu Yuan stepped forward. Although he tried his best to keep his face calm, his eyes still showed a look of shock.

"Surprisingly, it really hit home."

The seal of the opened file bag in his hand revealed a corner of the paper inside. On the yellowed paper, small fonts could be faintly seen.

[File No. 001: Layer of Disorder]

[This is a world that does not exist in reality. When we encounter some kind of error in reality, we can enter it... Whether that is the reality of the world, or a collection of errors, we don't know, but I usually call it ——The back room. 】

Xu Yuan murmured the contents of the file in his hand.

This file was obtained from the inheritance left by my grandfather, and it was also a request from my grandfather before his death.

Originally, Xu Yuan only regarded it as the last mission left by his grandfather to complete, but when Xu Yuan actually appeared in this space, he realized that the many hints left by his grandfather before his death were not delirious ravings.

The wrong space, or the reality of the world, the flow of time far exceeding a thousand times of reality, entities that follow certain rules, possess certain special abilities, and the contained objects that are above all rules and distort all rules. .

At the beginning, Xu Yuan even thought that the contents in the file were strange stories written by his grandfather before his death.

If it hadn't been for his grandfather's solemn instructions before his death, Xu Yuan would not have spent nearly half a month trying to break into this wrong space.

"If the reality of the world is really like this, then the legends and myths passed down from ancient times have the possibility of being real."

Xu Yuan thought about Peach Blossom Spring. Why has no one cared about it since the Wuling Fisherman?
  From Xu Yuan's perspective now, Peach Blossom Spring is probably a level in the back room.

Many subsequent visitors failed to meet various conditions and successfully enter the back room like the original Wuling fisherman.

The conditions for entering the back room were very harsh. Even Xu Yuan, who already knew how to enter, spent nearly a week and countless attempts to successfully enter this wrong space and the reality of the world.

There are also those magnificent myths, the power of moving mountains and filling seas, reaching for the stars and chasing the moon, all originated from the power brought out by a lucky person from the back room.

Through this development, growth, and interpretation of magnificent myths.

But when they were unable to enter the back room again, Ragnarok and the Age of End of Dharma came...

My grandfather may be considered a lucky man of his time, but in his opinion, he failed to live up to his own legend.

Although with the help of the resources obtained in the back room, class leaps have been achieved in reality, but compared to those predecessors, they are still far behind.

It is like a traveler wandering in front of a sea of ​​treasures. He wants to enter it but cannot find a way to enter it. In the end, he only brings back a few grains of sand stuck to the soles of his feet...

In fact, my grandfather's harvest far exceeded these, and it was not as bad as he said.

After spending his whole life and going through countless dangers, his grandfather brought out something that had the ability to interpret myths, something that was said to be able to bend all rules and override all rules - the containment object.

This is the description of the contained object in the file, and there is nothing else.

In the end, I just said that when I truly entered the layer of disorder, I would let Xu Yuan decide whether to continue on the path of exploring the reality of the world.

Because there are too many strange risks.

Entities like those described in the files may have started out as ordinary creatures.

But in the special environment of the back room, countless billions have evolved, and they have continuously lit up the technology tree on the road of biotechnology, and they have already possessed what can be called extraordinary power.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan couldn't help but think of a book.

Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Don’t the many strange and powerful mountain and sea beasts among them fit the characteristics of entities?
  "Perhaps it is a book written by one of the lucky ones who accidentally entered the back room in the long mythology of China?"

Xu Yuan had a clear understanding in his heart.

As for Xu Yuan’s choice after actually entering the back room?

Xu Yuan put his right hand on his chest. When he learned that everything recorded in the file was true, his heart was already beating with excitement! The real world is broader and more splendid than the current world!

"How to choose, needless to say?"

Xu Yuan raised his eyes and looked in front of his seat. A simple black table became the only color besides yellow in this endless monotonous yellow space.

There are two layers of drawers, and inside there is everything that my grandfather has spent his life exploring for more than a hundred years!
  Xu Yuan took a deep breath, strode forward, approached the black classical table, stretched out his hand, and opened the first drawer of the table.

What came into view were two other files that looked exactly the same as the file Xu Yuan had obtained before.

Xu Yuan tore open the seal of the file and took out the yellowed paper.

[File No. 002: Xi soil]

"Xirang?"

After starting to read the second file, Xu Yuan murmured.

"Hai Nei Jing": "Those who rest on the soil say that the soil will grow indefinitely, so it can stop floods."

Xu Yuan subconsciously recalled the records about Xi soil in ancient books.

According to legend, Xi soil was a weapon that was used to control floods. There is also a legend that the soil used by Nuwa to create humans was Xi soil.

This contained object itself will not have a name. Xirang was the name given by my grandfather based on its characteristics.

Suppressing the racing thoughts in his heart, Xu Yuan began to read this file.

[Description: I originally thought this was just an ordinary piece of yellow mud with a volume of 0.23m, but until I observed it crawling in a specific direction, I realized that it was not ordinary yellow mud.

It was initially speculated that it was an entity, but after a period of research, it was discovered that its essence was not a creature with special extraordinary abilities like an entity! His essence is above all else! 】

"coming."

Xu Yuan thought to himself.

Of all the messages his grandfather left behind, this was the only one he couldn't understand.

Even entities can be explained by the extraordinary creatures that constantly light up the biotech tree in the special environment of the back room.

But the contained object——an existence that twists all rules and overrides all rules!

Xu Yuan has no idea about this. After all, people cannot imagine things beyond their cognition.

Amid the never-ending hum of the fluorescent lights operating at full capacity, there was the sound of pages being turned over.

As the information continued to be obtained, Xu Yuan's eyes flashed. After pulling out the last piece of paper from the bottom, Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he found that all the information in the two files had been read.

He closed his eyes and thought, and after a while, he opened his eyes.

"The foundation of myth!"

This is Xu Yuan’s summary of the contained objects.

Various mythological stories born in history may be related to people who accidentally cut into the back room.

The powers beyond reality were brought out from the back room, and the immortal gods were born.

Burning the sky and boiling the sea, picking up stars and holding the moon... He has all kinds of incredible power.

And these great powers may come from entities, or--contained objects!

The information left behind by my grandfather was very detailed, and even the third file recorded in detail everything he had seen while exploring the back room.

So Xu Yuan discovered something.

"The old man's path is not what I want to take..."
