Fortunately, I'm a Giant of Light

Zion said half-truthfully.

"Of course I believe it!"

Aya nodded without hesitation.

"I had a friendly exchange with the Saturn monster, and I became interested in the Antarctic or the North Pole." Zion didn't want to say all of it for the time being, "If there is any result, I will tell you a story, how about it? ?”

Mengmei was very happy to hear the word story:

"Okay!"

"Then just wait!"

Zion walks calmly in the dark, fearless.

After a while, Zion came to the end of the trail and saw the magnificent mountains hidden in the darkness.

The sharp peaks pierced the ice cap in the sky.The dark mountains loomed in the light in his hand.

Zion could see a weird wave flipping through it that he had so far failed to grasp.

Zion has seen this kind of wave when he was in the wormhole under the sea, and he also saw it when he was in Heivortex Town. It is a special wave called gravity, which is more mysterious than electromagnetism, which he has already understood many mysteries.

From what Aya said, Zion naturally also knew the puzzle that TPC has discovered now, the puzzle about this maze.

"I see."

Zion has a keen insight that he rarely uses himself.

"I sort of know the answer to this puzzle."

He turned around on the ice cliff a few times, and found that there was no change on the ice cliff, so he jumped, flew into the peaks, and passed a square mountain top. When he was about to land, he stepped on the soil with his feet facing down. Stand still, and then let the strong wind blowing by yourself blow up the cloth cloak.

"What's the answer?"

Aya couldn't help but ask in the communication that this person felt omnipotent for some reason.

But Zion is looking around, looking for more clues.

He is interested in all this!

Zion first also came to the lake where the TPC robot had explored, looked at the undulating water waves, and took a sip.

"Perhaps once, this place used to be a treasured habitat for animals."

Aya shook her head on the other end of the communication, and said:

"I don't think so. This kind of purity can only be produced without any living things. The lake water of Lake Vostok, which is also frozen under the ice cap, is also purer than distilled water."

Zion thought for a moment:

"you're right."

He didn't go close to the spiral ancient city for the time being. First, he circled around the outside several times and knew the movement of the wave like the back of his hand, so he knew the truth of the first floor.But he didn't know how to explain it, so he asked:

"Say, Aya, what do you think it's like for a person to reach a place?"

Aya suddenly heard this question, puzzled:

"Isn't it just going to a certain place according to the map?"

"Yes..." Zion nodded, "Then we should call the road from ** to a series of halfway points and then to the final destination a path, right?"

He himself jumped up to a thousand-meter-high mountain, overlooking the spiral city in the middle of the mountain.

"The word is too literal, but that's how it is."

"If we expand the direction, then a person's life actually has a path, making different choices, encountering different places, living in different cities, will also form a different self, leading to a different life ending, right? ?”

"Yes……"

"Aya, the answer is here."

In this city, Zion saw neither robots, nor the bloodstains and dug holes of soldiers from the Third Reich.

Instead, I saw the corpse of a two-meter-long giant penguin that unfortunately lost its way here, emitting a stench.

It probably didn't take long to die here.

"In this place, where you lead is not determined by the spatial orientation on the surface... It is determined by every road you walk here, that is, your path... And, I'm afraid it will follow you The different roads I have traveled, constantly showing more layers.”

Zion said.

Aya still wanted to ask, but heard the familiar rustling of clothes.

It was obvious that this guy lifted his clothes straight away and returned to his original huge figure.

Chapter 26 The Ancient Visitor

Being in this mountain, I don't know where the clouds are deep.

This is an infinite labyrinth about a billion-year-old secret.

The past forgotten by the monsters of Saturn is gradually approaching the truth in human archeology.

"path?"

Aya was puzzled.

"Yes, the path..."

Zion looked sideways beyond the peaks.

Generally speaking, from point A to point B, whether you walk from the left, from the right, or if the person has the ability to go around the earth and walk from the back to point B, although the process is different, the outcome is the same.

This can be called a kind of absoluteness in movement and space.

No matter what method is used, what means of transportation is used, what road is traveled, in the orientation of ordinary space, point B is point B, and the end point is limited in reality, and there is only one such!

In normal time and space, the path is indifferent, the destination is real and absolutely real.One more point is that between two points, the straight line is the shortest and saves the most time, nothing more.

"But in subglacial mountains, things are very different."

Zion is in awe.

The giant stepped between the peaks, flew over dozens of kilometers in one leap, lingered here, kept identifying the places where the gravity was distorted, and soon found that every gravitational distortion point was in those strangely shaped mountains.

By this time, Zion had penetrated into countless layers of different dimensions, and now he couldn't see the corpse of the giant penguin.

Because I have seen real wormholes and the weird time-changing phenomenon in Heivortex Town, I can still deal with these mysteries calmly.

"Walk from the left, and walk from the right to the place, the place you see through your eyes seems to be exactly the same place is a kind of falsehood... and what you walk through with your legs is the absolute truth."

The robots Oliva and Rick sent by the two humans seemed to have circled the spiral ancient city and returned to their original place.But this is only a change in the spatial orientation that they themselves sense.

But the path they walked has already led them into another time and space level, so they missed it with all the people who observed on the ice cliff later, and separated them in two lives.

It's like... It's like, when brothers who have been away from their homeland for decades return to their homeland, the hometown they see is no longer what they thought it was.

The flowers and plants once planted and the cats and dogs raised are all in the past, only the mountains and rivers are still the setting sun, and they are no longer the original warm corners in my memory.

"In other words..."

A giant of tens of meters flew among the thousands of meters of peaks of various shapes, rampaging, and flew straight in the direction of the spiral ancient city.

"Here, the path is the real, absolute thing."

And the absolute of space becomes a lie.

"But why is it different?"

Zion asked himself, then shook his head.

With Ott's vision, he couldn't guess the answer to this question.

"Is it because the time spent is different?"

It takes 1 minute to walk from the left, 2 minutes to walk from the right, and [-] days to go around the earth. Because of the subtle difference in time, what you arrive at is a different world, which presents an infinite cross-section of time and space, which makes people feel Lost forever.

And the further you go, the more you get lost.

"Or is it because the path itself is mysterious? Time is expanding here, just like the effect of relativity?"

In the effects of relativity, there is a twin paradox, which says that if you travel at the speed of light, time will be close to pause.So the twins born in the same year, when the elder brother of the astronaut returned home after a few days, the younger brother on the earth had already died of old age.

As long as the time is long enough, of course they can't see each other again.

Anyway... this crazy mountain is an eternal labyrinth that constantly produces infinite parallel worlds as it moves, and there is a deep silence between these peaks.

"But, Aya, and Mengmei, you can also help me think about why these ancient civilizations built such a maze here?"

Zion suddenly asked them a question.

Because of concerns about this purpose, and indeed sensed a wave that far surpassed the level of Black Vortex Town, Zion reined in his behavior.Perhaps, unlike Black Vortex Town, this place is not a bad thing for humans... As long as you don't go in, there is really no power to force you in.

He maintained the posture of a giant, changed into a human body, and went straight to the ancient spiral city. He wandered around the places TPC had explored, and saw those strange and regular footprints.

Perhaps here, too, there once lived ancient inhabitants who are neither known nor known to human beings today.

All gone.

There is only one ruin that transcends the ages, still telling the ancient stories that have been extinct.

"I have an idea... The meaning of the labyrinth, and the origin of the labyrinth, come from an ancient legend in human books."

Aya said quietly:

"In Greek mythology, there is a story about the Minotaur. People say that the Minotaur was a curse from the gods because of the disrespect of the king of Crete, so the wife of the king of Crete and a cow possessed by the sea god were forced to This monster named Minotaur was born, and it was a monster with a human body and a bull head. So the king of Crete built a labyrinth and completely locked the monster in it, so that it could never escape."

"The Minotaur? . . . "

Zion murmured.

"You make a lot of sense, Aya... so is there any monster that is locked in this labyrinth?"

But in the ice cap not far away, there are sealed giants on the earth that were probably at the top of the earth's food chain... Then what is it that is sealed here that makes it impossible to escape forever?

In this spiraling urban design, the central circular tower is the most obvious.

But from the outside, the tower was built from the ground, and the outer wall was surrounded by spiral textures.When it rose to a height of more than ten meters, it collapsed.

"Maybe when the tower is not destroyed, it will be as high as the mountains!" It's just that the mountain can last for a long time, but the tower has collapsed.

The door of the spiral round tower is open.
