Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2043 God

The next four and ten minutes, when Lin Sanjiu recalled it now, it was as if he was recalling an unreal dream.

Even though she escaped, everything was against her: there was only a vast ocean under her feet, and the edge of the land in the distance was blurred and thin, which could make anyone without a spaceship feel hopeless; even the potency of the coffee was almost unbearable Like a strong wind, her physical strength, body temperature and will were quickly lost in the cold wind.

The area of ​​the black square is not large, so Lin Sanjiu has to use his consciousness to bind himself and the other three people to a black square. After being intervened by Occidentus, his current consciousness is not enough. It was like a rope, but more like a spider's thread, so fragile that it trembled in the strong wind, and it seemed that it would be drawn into the high air with them at some point and be separated.

Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to bite the tip of her tongue, using pain to resist wave after wave of weakness, and went through the puppeteer's holding props again; this time, she carefully looked at each item Once again, I didn't dare to let go of anything that might be useful.

They are not out of danger yet, only when the effect of [Concept Collision] ends, the rest of them—especially Yu Yuan, who is running out of time—can be regarded as truly escaped.

"In this world, God knows if there are any more Occidental bodies. If I activate [Concept Collision], another one will come to my door... Everything will be in vain." Lin Sanjiu shook his head , continued to explain: "I thought at the time, if we can't go to another world immediately, can we 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, which is worth a try; what's more, what other options does she have besides breaking a road from a place where there is no road?

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

Even now, when Lin Sanjiu looks at him, he can't stop feeling afraid, afraid that what he sees is still a woolen doll that is getting more and more messy, but is still drawing threads and losing shape—God knows, When she activated [Concept Collision] on Yu Yuan, she was so afraid that Yu Yuan, who regained his human body, would also turn into a messy woolen doll with broken skin, broken bones, and bloody flesh.

Now that Yu Yuan has a full beard and a clear mind, and can still listen to her narration of the incident with other people, it is hard for her not to doubt that this is not an illusion created by Occidentus.

"But, we're not in [Bubble Space] now, are we?" Yuan Xiangxi asked from the steaming white steam while holding a cup of hot tea, "I know that [Bubble Space] will reproduce a space exactly like the surrounding environment, but ..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Lin Sanjiu understood and nodded to him.

For a person whose life has long since ended and who has no fear in his heart, the consequence of Orcius' choice to serve him is the most profound horror in the world—everything loses its meaning to Yuan Xiangxi, and everything becomes "Unknown".

He was surrounded by a group of slender creatures with four limbs and one head, but he didn't know that those creatures were people and his friends; the boards of the spaceship, the lights, the air flow outside the ship...all the things he had been used to before, for him It was all accidents and shocks. He was like a rabbit thrown into the alien society. In the panic 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 suddenly breathed a breath of air as if he was about to drown; he waited in a daze for the last wave of fear to recede, then buried his face in his hands, and fell silent After a long time, he sniffled tremblingly.

"This is not [bubble space]..." Lin Sanjiu softened his voice, and only half a sentence was interrupted when he didn't want to.

"I only have one [bubble space], which has been destroyed." The puppeteer leaned in the velvet chair and said slowly.

He just woke up from a persistent nightmare, and he was still a little groggy for a while, and he still hasn't fully returned to reality; like a child who has a fever and has been asleep for too long, the puppeteer's voice is still vague and nasal.

"Yes,"

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

This sentence was obviously not blunt and didn't mention anything, but there seemed to be a hidden hook under the surface, evoking a silence soaked in thoughts from everyone.

Even Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but cut off his words when he saw everyone quiet down.The emotions she can feel are too majestic and complex, words can only describe a small part of them; she is sitting at the table at the moment, in a trance, as if she has a fever, not knowing whether she is 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 into the depths of her body, slowly calming her down—as expected of a recovery tea bag she found from a puppeteer, it seemed that even a broken consciousness and a disoriented soul could be the same as the physical body, To be soothed and calmed together.

Holding the tea in his arms, Yuan Xiangxi looked around, hesitated for a moment, then broke the silence and asked, "This kangaroo space, the scene created..."

"It was the last environment that made users feel at ease before activation." Lin Sanjiu replied, and added: "It can only last for three hours, so when its time limit is about to end, we will return to it again." to the aircraft over the ocean."

Yuan Xiangxi nodded; the room fell silent for a while, but it was Yu Yuan who spoke again.

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

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

Yu Yuan paused for a moment before saying: "The way he appeared on Jotans and took over the control of Jotans' body, don't you think it's a bit like a 'sentence'?"

Lin Sanjiu raised his head vigorously, staring at Yu Yuan.

"In many human cultures, there are different ways of communicating with the gods... One of them is that people with unique constitutions can let the gods descend on themselves."

Yu Yuan rested his hand on the teacup, and the vine tattoos gently scrambled on his skin, and said quietly: "The only difference is that Jotans does not have the right to choose whether to descend or not... There is a set of built-in mechanisms to decide whether to appear or not to appear. The existence of Jotans was created to be used as a 'sentence' by Seanius."

"Are you so scared that you regard him as a god?" the puppeteer asked coldly.

"No," Yu Yuan never got angry with what the puppeteer said, "but his existence is probably infinitely close to that of a god."

As if the air had been taken away for a moment, Lin Sanjiu opened his mouth and said nothing.

"Think about it, Jortens doesn't actually exist, does it?" Yu Yuan sighed and said, "He has no parents, no friends, no process of growth and evolution. The human body we saw , from the first day it appeared in this world, it has been what we have seen. That is to say, Orcius has done something that even the data body cannot 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 endowed it with 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 emptied at any time according to the wish of Orcius, and become a container for the seance."

"So, God is just missing a container." The puppeteer lowered his eyelids, slowly infecting the color of a storm. "Where and when Mr. God will descend next time, we don't know."

But, at least Jotans proved one thing.

When the time limit for [Kangaroo Pocket] came and several people got up to prepare, Lin Sanjiu was still stubbornly holding on to a self-comforting idea.

She put down her teacup and stood up, approached the door, and took a last look back at the spaceship dining room.Pale white light illuminated the empty restaurant, and the sky outside the porthole of the spaceship was bright and intense blue.

He proved to Orcius that he lived.

　This chapter was particularly difficult to write. I don’t know if it’s because of poor physical condition. I want to express but can’t find the words. I don’t know where to start. It’s not easy to finish writing.
