Chapter 773: Traveling Again

After hearing Leigh Nora mention that an “indescribable mass” burst out of the light cocoon and caused her “drift house” to temporarily lose control, the expression on Zhou Ming’s face changed. The subtlety of the moment – he thought for a moment and thought that the thing might be the bag of “miscellaneous items” he threw out.

He originally planned to use that thing as a “medium” to establish communication with the visitors outside the door.

But now it seems that this exchange was a bit rough.

Fortunately, Le Nora didn’t seem to be in too much trouble due to this accident – and she didn’t notice the subtle silence of the “thousand-faced starlight” in front of her.

Zhou Ming quickly took advantage of this moment to change the subject: “What happened after you lost control for a short time? You said you ‘overdone’… what do you mean?”

Le Nora didn’t seem to suspect anything. After hearing this, she just frowned slightly and fell into thinking for a moment. Later, while recalling, he said: “After the drifting house briefly lost control, I fell into the deepest part of the fog, and then stopped near an invisible…’border’. I don’t know how to describe that border to you. …It actually has no entity, and nothing can be seen visually, but the fog stopped abruptly there, and beyond that boundary, there was a large expanse of… nothingness.” She stopped slowly, as if she

felt His description was still not accurate enough, and he frowned in distress. Zhou Ming noticed this immediately, and the expression on his face gradually became serious: “Nothingness?” “Yes

, nothingness, not darkness, nor “emptiness” in the general sense. “One thing”… I don’t know if this is accurate – even if it is an “empty place”, there is at least one “place”, but that place… is beyond the scope of my rational explanation,” Leigh Nora thought hard. Even recalling and describing the scene she saw seemed to be a very difficult thing. “Do you know the world in the eyes of people who are born blind? Those who have never seen anything. Many people who have lost light and even visual structure think that the world in their eyes is darkness, but in fact, the world in their eyes is an ultimate emptiness…” She

paused and endured He kept opening his hands to make famous gestures, and continued: “They can’t see “darkness”, because strictly speaking, “darkness” is also a part of vision. They have never seen any colors or shapes, so that even “darkness” Such words are also abstract and incomprehensible concepts to them, so from a visual perspective, what they see “in front of them” is not black, but “empty”. Colors have never existed, outlines have never existed, and the entire world has never existed from a visual perspective. None of them exist.

“And outside that boundary, what I feel is this.

“I feel that I should “see” something in front of me, but it is beyond my understanding and perception, so that in my mind I couldn’t leave any “image” at all. I felt that there was some kind of voice in my ears, but whether it was the feeling at the time or the memories afterwards, there was only a blank in my mind – I stood at the invisible end, and I was clearly conscious. There is a ‘border’ there, and there should be an ‘opposite’ to the border, but it… doesn’t.”

Leigh Nora waved her hand, as if even now, recalling the weird and terrifying feeling at that time still made her a little uncomfortable. .

“There is no ‘opposite’…” Zhou Ming slowly frowned after hearing the other party’s abstract and incomprehensible description. He thought and guessed about that scene, and gradually came to associate it, “It’s like a picture without ” “The paper on the back?”

Le Nora opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then she saw the “starlight entity” in front of her suddenly raised her limbs again. Among the thousands of eyes and stars focusing on each other, one …The structure is gradually taking shape.

Zhou Ming tore off a piece of white paper, twisted it, and connected it end to end.

“Knowledge” poured into Le Nora’s mind, and at this moment, she understood the structure of the Möbius strip.

The vast “emptiness” opened its door to her.

“That’s what it feels like!” She suddenly woke up from her dazed state, staring wide-eyed at the structure floating in the chaos and under the focus of thousands of eyes, “It’s this thing! A boundary without an ‘opposite’, a There is no ‘back’ of paper! A limit, a true ‘end’!”

The structure dissipated silently.

Zhou Ming loosened the connection of the Möbius strip. When the paper tape fell on the table, he thought to himself: “Is this the external barrier?…”

Of course he knew what the “gods” meant. The shelter barrier built should not be that simple. The Möbius strip is just a “model” that is easy to understand here – the two cannot be equated, but judging from the “border scene” described by Leigh Nora, they There must be similarities.

Leigh Nora cast a confused and curious look.

“You have reached the real end of the world – you may even have crossed the place where the ancient kings stayed,” Zhou Ming looked at the “Frost Queen”, his tone was a little uneasy, “You have seen… the boundary. The sight outside, but it is beyond your comprehension…”

He stopped slowly.

The Möbius strip has no “end”. For a “creature” staying on the surface of the ring, no matter how far it advances in the ring, it can never reach the “border” of the Möbius strip. It is even less likely that there is an “invisible end” there, and thus feel confused and frightened by the “nothingness” he sees in front of him – and Leigh Nora, this reckless traveler, was in a certain period in the past. In time, I became aware of the existence of that “end”.

She experienced “Dimension Ascension” – although she felt that she had only seen “nothingness” because she could not “recognize” the scene there, at that moment, she did briefly transform from an individual trapped on the surface of the ring. Become a person… who stands outside the ring.

He tried his best to explain all this to Le Nora, the strange phenomena she had seen, and the nature of the “dimensional ascension” she had experienced in the past period of time.

“Knowledge” impacted Le Nora’s mind, reshaping her cognition and essence.

But she accepted it all happily.

This was what she was looking for on her journey, and this was what she wanted right now.

She wants to witness more scenery and understand everything she sees.

“It’s time for me to leave,” she said suddenly standing up.

Zhou Ming looked at the Frost Queen with some surprise and seemed to not react at all.

“I want to go there and take a look again,” Le Nora turned her head and stared at Zhou Ming with her eyes full of starlight – those stars seemed to have been permanently reflected in her eyes, “I understand more, I There is a feeling… This time, I seem to be able to see something in that piece of “nothingness”, something… that I couldn’t recognize before, but it does exist.”

Zhou Ming was silent for a moment, and slowly got out of the sofa. Get up.

“Do you think there are ‘things’ in that void?”

“Yes,” Le Nora nodded without hesitation, with a kind of conviction and determination that others could not understand, “I have seen them and heard them. They are just like the breeze blowing through the stones, and have never left any traces in my mind – just like my fingers cannot distinguish colors, my eyes cannot judge cold and warm, my reason is not enough to understand things beyond the “end”, but Now… I believe things have changed, and I can see them, even just a little bit.”

Zhou Ming stared intently into the eyes of this “Frost Queen”.

“You are making a very risky decision,” he said suddenly. “You were almost swallowed by the ‘end’, and now you are going back.”

“Yes, this is very adventurous,” Le Nora suddenly laughed, with joy and brightness, “Travel is always accompanied by adventure.” “…

Like another ‘Deep Diving Plan’?” ”

… Yes, it’s like another ‘deep dive plan’,” Le Nora slowly put away her smile and nodded slightly, “my own deep dive plan.”

She turned her head and looked away, taking a deep breath. He took a breath, and after a moment of silence, he said thoughtfully: “You see, I am really not suitable to be a ‘Queen.'”

Zhou Ming said nothing, but slowly came to the door connected to the “Drift House” in front of the window.

After a while, he said: “I can’t leave here – so don’t forget to tell me what you saw.”

Le Nora nodded happily: “Okay, I will do your eyes.

She returned to the “crack” and prepared to return to her “drift house” – a new journey was waiting ahead, and she was ready .

Zhou Ming looked at the smug Frost Queen.

For a moment, he felt that it seemed a bit indecent to let the lady go out through the window again. As the beginning of another great journey, it seemed a bit undignified.

But soon he felt…there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

The Queen, once trapped in a cage, can now travel any way she likes.

His guest left.

With a slight vibration, the window was closed again, and the scene outside the window was shrouded in thick fog in the blink of an eye – Zhou Ming had no time to confirm how the “drift house” moved, and it had disappeared from him. in the field of vision.

He stood by the window in a daze, looking outside for a long time, then looking away, his eyes swept across the living room.

What just happened seemed to be just a dream – a mind that was permanently trapped in a hut had a dream that someone was visiting the home.

But when he came to the sofa, he saw the paper strip that had been twisted into a Möbius strip still lying quietly on the coffee table, and the edge of the paper strip was still slightly raised.

On the white paper next to it, a simple-looking lantern is sketched.

Someone did visit here.

Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He felt as if he felt a little more relaxed. Then he smiled, shook his head, and walked towards the door of the apartment.

When he opened the door, the black mist that was constantly expanding, contracting and squirming remained the same…

Duncan opened his eyes in front of the Gate of the Homeless.
