I'm not sick! So do my other personalities!

Looking at this scene, Liao Yonghong and Shao Yuzhi, who were talking, suddenly frowned. They looked at each other and immediately walked towards the house.

This is a small farmhouse that looks no different from ordinary homes in the village. Three thatched houses lined up stand quietly under the warm winter sun. The north wind blows through the thatched eaves and pulls out a few pieces of grass from the straw mats. A half-rotted piece of straw, mixed with the dust that fell from the adobe wall, flew high into the sky and whizzed away.

Outside the thatched house, there is a three or four-acre yard surrounded by hedges, with some vegetable beds and several haystacks.

The entrance to the hedge is a simple portal woven with bamboo strips. It has no lock and just leans casually against the branches on the other side.

The two of them arrived here and were about to open the bamboo door and go in. They suddenly discovered that wherever the squirming mass of unknown numbers passed by, they were all densely packed with numbers, formulas, and symbols... The original scene seemed to have been erased by an eraser. The handwriting was the same and disappeared completely.

At this moment, Liao Yonghong and Shao Yuzhi are stepping on these torrents that are purely composed of numbers, formulas, symbols...

Before the two of them could react, the next moment, they suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness. They fell downwards involuntarily before they had time to take any action to save themselves.

The bleak and distant sky in winter disappeared without a trace, and was surrounded by numbers, formulas, and symbols... They were large and small, bizarre, sometimes extremely slender, sometimes extremely tall, sometimes as tiny as dust, this kind of The feeling of being suddenly long and short, big and small, makes people feel indescribable annoyance and fear, just like when they just entered the time and space tunnel.

The concept of time is blurred here. It seems like a long time, and it seems like only a second has passed. The two finally stepped on the ground and stabilized their bodies again.

The countless numbers, formulas, and symbols surrounding him also formed a strange environment.

The top of the head is a fine straw mat, blocking most of the skylight, making the spacious yard filled with darkness and coldness.

The north wind howled by, and the chill leaking through the cracks was wrapped in all kinds of stale atmosphere and spread wantonly.

Thin-skinned coffins are placed horizontally and vertically on the rammed earth floor, and the lids of the coffins are tightly covered. It has obviously been that no one has taken care of the place for a long time. There are spider webs everywhere, puddles of water, and many weeds struggling to grow. The coffin is covered with traces of patchwork.

Liao Yonghong and Shao Yuzhi saw themselves standing next to one of the coffins, their eyes desolate and silent. The small flags outside the door rolled up in the wind, making a "clatter" sound.

This is the coffin shop?

The two of them were suddenly startled. They were thinking rapidly. Their eyes were slightly in a trance. The dark coffin shop turned into a familiar village again.

What they saw was the alley they had just walked through. They were still standing at the door of the house where the unknown group had entered. There was a simple bamboo gate blocked between the hedges, and neat vegetable beds could be seen in the yard.

However, the bright winter day just now turned into a moonlit night.

In addition, the four colors of red, white, black and gray are interlaced, covering the entire village.

These four colors dazzle everything and overwhelm all other colors. They alternate with each other and cut the entire village into a huge map.

Liao Yonghong and Shao Yuzhi looked down. They were now standing in an irregular black block.

After just one glance, Shao Yuzhi's expression suddenly changed slightly: "It's the 'four-color problem'!"

"This is a 'digital forest'!"

"But this is very contradictory to the background of this village."

"This 'digital forest' should not be a problem in this village."

"It's very possible that it was released by the experimental subject that went berserk just now!"

"Writing the 'Digital Forest' into the 'Digital Domain' of the experimental subject, this is the [God-Creation Plan] of the 'Twilight Trial'!"

"They are the experimental subjects of the 'Twilight Trial'!"

Hearing this, Liao Yonghong nodded slightly and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a burning pain in his stomach. At the same time, a strong sense of hunger filled his whole body, and he couldn't help but want to grab anything around him. Putting things in your mouth.

Liao Yonghong frowned, and then immediately saw that his originally thin but normal arms and body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same moment, Shao Yuzhi's body also deflated like a deflated balloon.

For a moment, the two of them felt as if they had been hungry for a long, long time. The feeling of hunger was overwhelming, as if they were about to starve to death in the next moment.

Knowing that something was wrong, Liao Yonghong didn't say anything nonsense. He grabbed Shao Yuzhi on his side and jumped towards the white color block next to him.

The moment they stepped into the white patch, the menacing hunger they had just disappeared instantly, and their bodies quickly returned to normal flesh and blood.

But before Liao Yonghong could breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt that no part of his body was comfortable. The strength he had just gained was rapidly declining, as if he was seriously ill and was about to die.

At this time, he heard Shao Yuzhi say very weakly: "This is...'plague'! Quick! Get out of here!"

Liao Yonghong did not hesitate. The "digital energy" in his body immediately exploded, temporarily suppressing all the diseases in his body. He took Shao Yuzhi with him and was about to jump into the gray block next to him.

At this time, Shao Yuzhi hurriedly shouted: "Go to the red!"

Liao Yonghong didn't have time to ask why, so he quickly changed direction and jumped into the red block on the other side.

The moment they entered the red color block, the surrounding scene changed again, and the two saw that they had entered a crimson world.

The hedges disappeared, the bamboo gates disappeared, the thatched houses disappeared... The whole village disappeared, and all the colors were gone.

There was only a rich red color above the head, like a sea of ​​blood hanging high.

They were standing on a huge uncolored map. The entire map was divided into countless irregular shapes. Its area was almost twice the size of the entire village.

The two of them were standing on two adjacent map sections at the moment. The small map where Liao Yonghong was on was quickly being dyed red; while the section where Shao Yuzhi was on was being dyed white.

And just diagonally in front of them, there were several villagers scattered. These villagers were the members of the ghost team who had just disappeared unknowingly while marching!

The members of the ghost team looked around warily, with blank expressions. The map sections under their feet were being dyed black, gray and red respectively.

Looking at this scene, Shao Yuzhi was slightly confused, but soon he remembered everything just now and said quickly: "Everyone, stand where you are and don't move!"

"I probably know what's going on!"

"This is indeed a time and space tunnel."

"However, this is just a certain location in the time and space tunnel!"

"This village is just our temporary stop at this location in the tunnel."

"Maybe it's because of insufficient conditions that we haven't really reached the other end of the space-time tunnel right now!"

"This is why we didn't find a time and space tunnel leading to 2127 in this village!"

"Because the entire village is just a 'point' in the space-time tunnel!"

※※※

Yue's Blacksmith Shop.

Zhou Zhen looked calmly at the old blacksmith who was close at hand.

"Old man, I want to ask you a few questions..."

As he spoke, gurgling blood immediately emerged from his feet.

The blood spread rapidly, soaking the originally compacted mud into a deep swamp.

Tat-tat-tat... Yue Bo chased him from behind. He fell into the bloody water within two steps. His movements suddenly slowed down, and his whole body seemed to be tied with a thousand kilograms of weight. Every step he took was extremely difficult. The blood seemed to have a huge viscosity, making him unable to move when he entered it.

At this time, the old blacksmith opened his eyes and looked at the humanoid monster made entirely of numbers standing in front of him. He did not look panicked and only said calmly: "You promise not to destroy this village, and I will answer you."

Zhou Zhen nodded: "Okay!"

The old blacksmith immediately closed his eyes again. It seemed that the densely squirming numbers on Zhou Zhen's body made him feel dizzy: "Just ask."

Zhou Zhen looked around the entire courtyard. At this moment, blood had covered all the ground, and it seemed that all the muddy ground had been turned into a muddy and deep swamp. Like a huge spider web, the courtyard was temporarily transformed into him. field of.

The thatched house was quiet, as if there was no one else in Yue's blacksmith shop except the old blacksmith and Yue Cymbal.

Zhou Zhen looked away and then asked: "Did a plague break out in this village before? The beginning of the plague was the village chief's youngest son, Ji Li?"

"Starting from Ji Li, the whole village was infected with the plague."

"Everyone in the village, except for you, the old man, has actually died in the plague?"

The old blacksmith closed his eyes and replied simply: "There are two people who survived in the village."

"One is me, and the other is Ji Li."

"I was able to survive because I received magic from immortals before the plague came."

"Relying on the knowledge given by the immortals, I escaped the plague."

Immortal...

In the battle in the coffin shop just now, the old blacksmith also mentioned the word "immortal" many times.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen asked directly: "What immortal?"

A look of awe appeared on the old blacksmith's face, and he said in a very serious tone: "That is an immortal who is not among the sacrifices and songs of my ancestors, but is also kind to an ant-like mortal like me."

"His name is taboo-'Zhang Xi'!"

Zhang Xi? !

Zhou Zhen was slightly startled. This was one of the four men who entered the space-time tunnel with Lu Xingkuan!

When he first asked Lu Xingkuan for clues, he used the identity "Zhang Xi".

After thinking carefully, Zhou Zhen suddenly understood that under normal circumstances, after Zhang Xi entered the time and space tunnel, he should have traveled through time and became the old blacksmith in front of him.

However, it may be because the "digital ladder" is not enough, or it may be due to other reasons. After Zhang Xi entered the space-time tunnel, his self-awareness was lost... To be precise, it should be the corresponding one-dimensional equation of Zhang Xi "Numbers" are lost in the time and space tunnel!

This resulted in Zhang Xi's consciousness not entering the old blacksmith's body, but instead giving all his memories and knowledge to the old blacksmith.

Zhang Xi is a compatibility of the "Third Step". Although he is not an official member, it will take many years for a normal compatibility to reach the "Third Step".

The memory and knowledge transplanted by the other party are definitely much more than that of him, who has only been a compatible for a few months!

After understanding the reason, Zhou Zhen continued to ask without explanation: "Then Ji Li was able to survive, did he also receive a magic gift from the immortal?"

The old blacksmith shook his head and said: "There are only four people in total who have received the magic from the immortal."

"I'm just one of them."

"In addition, there are Chu Hu and Bo'er."

"And Meng Zhu."

"Meng Zhu is the eldest daughter of the surname Zhu. She was originally a very ordinary woman. She had already been engaged to her son surnamed Tao and was concentrating on preparing the dowry. Two months before the wedding, she suddenly made a decision. Planting potions can poison the pests in the ground without harming the crops.”

"After using that potion, there was much more food during the autumn harvest than in previous years. Originally, every winter, old people and children in the village would die of weakness due to lack of food."

"But that year was different. The harvest that year was enough to give everyone the confidence to have a good year."

"However, Chu Hu set up an altar to offer sacrifices, and after communicating with the gods, he said that Meng Zhu was an evil spirit, so he tied her up and burned her at the stake."

"Meng Zhu was burned to death like this."

"The knowledge she gained from the teachings given by the immortals has become nothing."

"As for Bo Er..." At this point, the muscles on the old blacksmith's face seemed to twitch, and then he continued calmly, "He is Chu Hu's eldest son."

"Originally, he was supposed to be the next village chief."

"But after he received the teaching from the immortal, he quickly opened a private school in the village to teach children how to read Chinese characters and sentences, as well as some knowledge of the immortal."

"Not long after, he was also regarded as an evil spirit by Chu Hu and burned alive."

"That private school is now Guan's Longevity Material Shop."

"When the private school was opened, Ji Li also attended classes..."

"Meng Zhu and Bo'er are both too young."

"I don't know how to hide my clumsiness at all."

"The immortal's gift of magic was originally a blessing, but both of them were too careless, and it turned out to be a disaster."

"After I received the magic from the immortal, I didn't dare to expose it at first."

"Then the plague became rampant, and my family and children began to fall ill and die. I had no choice but to start using the knowledge given by the immortals to solve the problem of the epidemic."

"When Chu Hu finds out, he will burn me to death too!"

"But by that time, the plague had already spread in the village."

"I have a life-saving method at my fingertips."

"So, most of the villagers are on my side."

"This is why everyone in the village will obey my arrangements now..."
