Deep Sea Embers

Zhou Ming stood in front of the mirror and stared at himself in the mirror quietly.

Such a clear and real mirror image - if he hadn't reached out and touched a cold, hard surface, he would have even doubted whether the person standing opposite was really his "other self".

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze from the mirror and looked at the vast darkness around him.

How big is this space? If we continue walking outward, can we reach infinity? What is the nature of this dark space? Why is it here, behind the Homeless Gate? What is the connection between the Gate of the Homeless in subspace and the Gate of the Homeless in the real world? And most importantly...

What are those words emerging from the darkness?

Zhou Ming moved away from the mirror. The mirror quietly dissipated as he left, and the figure in the mirror also disappeared into the darkness. As he followed, more pale words emerged in the darkness - Description about everything related to him.

Like an extremely detailed personal file... a personal file that is registered in a vital database and has no idea what use it will be used for.

Zhou Ming felt that his ability to associate was a bit insufficient - he tried to find a set of reasonable reasons to explain everything he saw, but found that no matter what kind of reasoning, in the end it looked like a bunch of unreasonable ideas. Pure fantasy.

He even began to feel that there was a "doomsday shelter plan", and that he was the one hiding in the shelter, but he was unaware of it. The bachelor apartment was not his shelter fortress, and the words that emerged from the dark space This is the registration document after he entered the shelter...

In the darkness, his thoughts spread uncontrollably, but after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly put away all his random thoughts.

Duncan suddenly froze.

He went back faster than when he came. It didn't take long for him to cross this void of darkness and return to the "Homeless Door" leading to the Lost Home.

After crossing the door, he confirmed that the opposite side was not darkness, but his bachelor apartment - everything in the room. After saying that, without waiting for the goat head to speak, he directly left the captain's cabin with the lantern, and then passed through the decks and cabins almost in a hurry, heading straight to the bottom of the Lost Home.

For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of security when he saw that the goat's head was still on the table.

Then he returned to the ship again and this time opened the door to the captain's cabin.

There are not many doors on the Homeless Ship, but only three of them are ordinary doors. The first is the "Homeless Man's Door", and the second is the bright wooden door deep in the cabin leading to the bottom cabin, which is marked " The logo of "The Last Door", and thirdly, is the door standing out of thin air in the center of the bilge. It connects the subspace and the real dimension. It may not be called the "Gate to Subspace".

If you want to return to the real dimension from the "Broken Homeless Ship" that is suspected to be in the subspace, you only need to pass through the Homeless Gate as a transit?

In the end, even those chaotic jumping lines and light spots disappeared, and nothing new appeared again. With the answer vaguely in his mind, Duncan heaved a sigh of relief, and then stepped forward and opened the door to the captain's cabin.

After half a minute, the guy suddenly made a squeaking sound, and his neck seemed to be broken: "Ship...Ship...Captain?! You said you..."

He muttered loudly.

“In the case of ￥ # %\u0026……%, is it @#?”

I raised my head and looked into the black eyes of the goat head. I was a little firm before speaking: "Don't be scared if I tell you."

"Ah, Captain! You are finally back!" The goat head immediately made an exaggerated and attentive voice. It was noisy as always. "You suddenly left the ship completely. I was really shocked! When you were walking in the spirit world, At least you will keep your body here! But all your breath has disappeared... And now you are back from the deck? Where did you go?

I returned to the real dimension.

Putting his hand on the door, the solid texture made Zhou Ming, who had just wandered and explored in the darkness for a long time, feel an inexplicable sense of solidity, and then

He took a deep breath and stepped through the door.

As soon as the text becomes confusing, the sentences become weird and incomprehensible, and the originally smooth record becomes something that cannot even be read.

He has not lost his mind yet and has not become obsessed with this process of constantly exploring the unknown.

Duncan's eyes changed slightly instantly.

He turned around. The door he came from was almost only a dim spot of light, but it still stood quietly in the darkness. "Ah, you, your first mate is not only loyal and cowardly, but also cowardly and loyal." …”

He walked away, cautiously and cautiously, away from the door.

He passed through the "last door" and came to the shattered bilge

The goat head immediately turned his head after hearing the noise coming from the door, and there was a creaking sound of wood rubbing against his neck. "Name?"

Now it seems that that "consistency" may have marked the real "exit" from the beginning!

What emerges from the darkness are no longer words and symbols, but a series of twisting and jumping lines, chaotic and restless light spots, and even various undulating projections that almost follow geometric laws.

Zhou Ming immediately stopped.

He became more cautious as he walked, moving only a dozen centimeters forward with each step.

On the "broken Homeless Ship", whether it is the "last door" leading to the bottom cabin or the "subspace door", the marks have been erased on the door frames, but only the one in front of the captain's cabin. The "Gate of the Homeless" maintains a completely consistent appearance whether in the real dimension or in the subspace.

He turned back thoughtfully and saw that he was standing in front of the captain's cabin, and the Homeless Door was standing quietly in the sunlight. A few words on the doorframe shone brightly on the doorframe.

The familiar chart room, the familiar elegant furnishings, the table, and the familiar goat head on the table

"Duncan Abnomar, it's you, you're back," Duncan said immediately. He had already guessed that the other party would confirm with him - the goat head could sense whether he had left the Homeless Ship, and might even be there at a certain time. To a certain extent, I feel some kind of change in myself." Its kind of "name confirmation" seems a bit arbitrary on the surface, but there seems to be a faint pattern in it, "You have gone to a very far place. "

The door was closed tightly, and there was no gap at all. "I went to the subspace."

There were no more clues there, only phantoms that could shake his mind - no matter whether there was really a huge secret hidden in that dark space, or whether it was just another conspiracy and temptation for him in the subspace, he had no idea. It's time to spend your time getting into trouble.

And the safest "subspace door" stands quietly in the center of the cabin.

While Zhou Ming silently wrote down these words, he looked back from time to time to confirm the distance between himself and the door, and to confirm whether he had lost his way in the darkness.

A cool sea breeze blew in his face, and Duncan was a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of skylight in his field of vision. The slight shaking under his feet and the sound of waves lapping in his ears took a few tenths of a second to appear in his perception. Form 1 - Perhaps it was because I had been in a noisy place for too long, but the sound of the waves crashing suddenly sounded like thunder.

"￥ @* is about 355 to *\u0026a;, there may be %\u0026 of \u0026...

Zhou Ming's heart moved, but he did not stop moving forward. He just walked more carefully. As he continued to walk towards the edge of darkness, more words emerged in the darkness.

Suddenly, he noticed a change in the words appearing under his feet.

He checked his surroundings, and what he saw was the strange Homeless Ship, the strange Yuyin Sea, and the sun hanging in the sky, bound by double runes.

Getting weirder and weirder. It was getting more and more confusing, and the frequency of confusion was increasing exponentially. One by one, he could still see a few meaningful words in each sentence, but soon it came to the point where the same word appeared in several sentences. To such an extent, he could no longer even see these "garbled codes".

... Enough time has been wasted.

Duncan's mind suddenly became active

Zhou Ming decisively turned around and walked back - no matter what else was there in the depths of darkness, the moment the information emerged under his feet came to an end, he knew that he could not move forward.

Goat Head: “…?!

More words are emerging under my feet - the content is quite different from before, but more detailed and formal, and more and more like a registration document used in formal occasions.

"I went to the subspace and got some good results." Duncan said as he walked into the captain's room and picked up the lantern placed on the shelf next to him. Please wait for a moment.

Zhou Ming took a deep breath to calm down his mind, and then decided to conduct one last test and exploration of this dark space before leaving.

All the breath is gone? Leaving the ship completely?

This unexpected situation made him a little confused, because the second before he stepped through the door in this darkness, he was still thinking about how to continue exploring on the "broken Homeless Ship" to find a way to return. But I didn't expect that after crossing the door from here, I would directly return to reality... What is the pattern here?

Between the gaps in the bottom hull, there is still the appearance of this bright hybrid body. Within the limited field of vision, not many details can be seen. Only chaotic light and shadow turbulence and a momentary flash of light can be seen jumping and flowing in the darkness.

As he walked forward, chaotic lights and shadows that were incomprehensible to the mortal mind emerged in the darkness, as if some indescribable reflection at the edge of the universe turned into a road extending forward under his feet.

As expected, he entered this suspected subspace with his true body, not the "consciousness projection" that he thought at the end of the moment!
