Lu Mingfei nodded his head involuntarily, and the feeling of weightlessness brought him back to his senses. He had not experienced this feeling for a long time. When he was in class at Shilan Middle School, he would stay up all night playing StarCraft the next day. On the second day of class, he attended class three times and nodded frequently, earning the reputation of "Sleep God".
However, this situation has become much less common since you entered Kassel College. The main reason is that no one cares about whether you sleep or not in college, and the professors who teach will not slow down the progress of the entire class just for you. I will remember your name and include it in the notebook. When you graduate, you will know that you will have to pay off your debts in the end.
Lu Mingfei wiped the non-existent saliva and stretched before noticing that the surrounding environment had changed. The entire classroom was empty. The new students who had gone crazy and had psychic vision were nowhere to be seen. The barrier that had been lowered to isolate the outside world was nowhere to be seen. The black baffles were also put away. It was a beautiful sunset outside in the afternoon. The blood-red sunset wrapped in the clouds was like a landscape oil painting. The church-like buildings of the mountaintop college were painted into dark silhouettes. One or two The fleeting image of the white pigeon returning to the bell tower adds a long bell sound to this silent picture.
He threw away the gel pen in his hand, without even glancing at the white paper on the table, and walked towards the boy in a suit and leather shoes sitting by the window. He had a small black suit, a white silk scarf, small square leather shoes, and big pale gold eyes. , the childishness between male and female, is no different from the guy in my impression.
Before the other party spoke, Lu Mingfei suddenly stopped and pointed at him, "! If you say to me, 'Sunset, are you coming up?' I will kick you down immediately and leave without looking back!"
Lu Mingze paused before he spoke, looked at the red and blue sea, and smiled helplessly, "Brother, you don't expect to have another me in another world, do you?" ?If you really think like this, I will be severely hurt!"
"Damn it, you're the kid!" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed ecstasy. He rushed forward and held him down. He stretched out his hand and rubbed the guy's meticulously styled hair, and forcefully rubbed the delicate little handsome guy. Playing like a chicken coop.
Lu Mingze didn't seem to be surprised by Lu Mingfei's enthusiasm. He just smiled bitterly and let Lu Mingfei toss his hair. To use a less accurate description, this could be regarded as meeting an old friend in a foreign country, or a fellow villager meeting a fellow villager, with tears streaming down his face. .
Normally, Lu Mingfei would hide from Lu Mingze like he was hiding from the god of plague, but it was different now. He was eager to see the little devil appear in front of him. This guy usually talks viciously about power, and when he hears it, he feels like his head is getting bigger. His ears were calloused, but now he felt so friendly when the other person spoke. He wanted to grab this little devil and crush him in his arms. "You actually came here with me?! Have you traveled through time too?" "
"First of all, I want to correct one thing." Lu Mingze broke away from Lu Mingfei's ravage and raised a finger, "You have not traveled through time. You are still asleep on that subway at this moment. According to Nibo According to Long Gen's rules, the subway will automatically enter a circular line after running, and until someone takes the initiative to go to the train cab to change direction, the train will continue to run on the circular line forever."
Lu Mingfei retracted his hand and his expression became strange, "Then why haven't I starved to death yet? Logically speaking, I have been here for nearly half a month, and half a month without pellets is Do you have to starve to death?"
“Ever heard of Einstein’s theory of relativity?”
"It's the one with the fire and the beauty, right?"
"It seems you know." Lu Mingze nodded slightly, as if he meant something.
"Is there a problem with the passage of time in this world? Can the theory of relativity explain all of this?" Lu Mingfei frowned. Although he knew the theory of relativity, he was not proficient in it. Whenever the professors at Kassel College talked about these academic topics, he would fall asleep because The vocabulary and referenced knowledge points were too obscure and advanced for him, a junior at Shilan Middle School, to be able to keep up.
"Oh, that's not the case. What you are encountering now has nothing to do with the theory of relativity, and Einstein can't explain it." Lu Mingze waved his hand, "I'm just curious if you know the theory of relativity."
Just when Lu Mingfei wanted to roll up his sleeves and give this guy a slap on the head, the other party suddenly said, "It can be considered a reference to a similar concept. For example, when people have a sweet dream, they feel that time passes quickly, but when they have a nightmare, Sometimes I feel like it will take a long time, which is probably what you are encountering now."
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, "Then am I having a sweet dream or a nightmare now?"
"You ask me?" Lu Mingze looked at Lu Mingfei up and down, "You are the one dreaming now."
"I..." Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that he couldn't give a simple and direct answer.
Logically speaking, the world where Lin Nian does not exist is indeed a ridiculous dream, but it seems a bit incomplete to easily define it, because there are still beautiful things in this world, which comfort Lu Mingfei and do not go crazy or crazy. .
If this world is really a dream, is this a nightmare or a sweet dream? This question is worth examining.
"So this is indeed a dream?" Lu Mingfei asked after being silent for a moment.
"Brother, actually you feel it too, right?" Lu Mingze looked at the academy on the top of the mountain at dusk, the shadows of pigeons passing through the sunset in his golden eyes, "You can't easily label everything you see now as false. An illusion, or a simple dream. Because everything is too real, every plant, every tree, every flower and every leaf."
He said, "What you are experiencing now is a specious mirror world projected by a power close to the ancient manifestation based on the nearby branches of the World Tree."
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a while after hearing this.
"You should have studied parallel world theory, right?" Lu Mingze saw that his brother's CPU was dry-burning again.
"I've studied quantum mechanics before. It's so fascinating. If it weren't for the theory of parallel universes, I guess not many people would take this course!"
“Have you ever thought about the composition and existence logic of parallel worlds?”
"Are you asking me questions that Einstein didn't even understand?"
"Try to imagine the world we live in, the deepest place and the darkest place in the universe where we live. From an angle that is difficult for ordinary people to observe, we can see a tree, infinitely long and infinitely wide, rooted in the world 'The concept itself is a giant tree."
In Lu Mingfei's mind, a lush giant tree seemed to appear across the dark Milky Way. The light of the spiral galaxy was the fireflies that adorned it. The deep and terrifying black hole was the gap in its trunk. It counted the collapse of the universe as its annual rings. Every growth of the universe forces the expansion of the universe.
He couldn't help but shudder, which was the involuntary shock and awe of the magnificent things.
Lu Mingze continued, "We usually call this tree 'Yuktrashil'. It is rooted in the base level of the world and supports the operation of the world we know in a way that ordinary people cannot understand. Like the giant who supports the sky and the earth in ancient Chinese mythology.”
"Each branch of 'Yuktrassil' is a cognitive world. They are derived from the main branches of the trunk. Although they have the same blood and the same origin, there are always many differences in details, such as in a certain A branch is slightly withered and bald. The dragon clan in that world has been destroyed eons ago. The blood remaining in the world is not even enough to light up the golden eyes. And on the other branches of that world, you don't even have it. Enter Kassel College, but give up going to university after graduating from Shilan High School, and choose the path you are best at."
"My best path? What is that?" Lu Mingfei looked up in confusion.
"E-sports player." Lu Mingze looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "In that world, you chose to become an e-sports player, and your main game was your favorite sequel to "StarCraft", "StarCraft 2" ”, you have become colleagues and friends with many famous professional players, and the professional commentators who usually entertain you all night also become brothers with you, and even go to wash your feet and masturbate in the evening.”
"Uh..." Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, as if it was hard to imagine himself becoming an e-sports player, but it seemed that Lin Nian had complained before that he was indeed made for this field.
"There are also some worlds that are very interesting, and the branches are still luxuriant and strong. In most of those worlds, you still followed the path of Kassel College, but the person who took you out of that movie theater was not Lin Nian, but Chen Motong, that is, Caesar Gattuso's girlfriend, so you unfortunately fell in love with your senior sister. At the same time, you joined the student union and it was no longer the Lion Heart Club, and you embarked on a road of no return to covet your sister-in-law." Lu Mingze sighed with emotion. said.
"Me? I covet my sister-in-law?" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened and he pointed at his nose, "Am I like this kind of person?"
Lu Mingze looked at him, and then nodded under the other person's stunned gaze, confirming that he was such a person, "Then you found that you couldn't catch up with the senior sister, so you lost your ambition and coaxed a rich lady who you met by chance with some brain problems. As a substitute, I accidentally killed someone in the end... I thought that in that world line, you would have your heart set on Ash from now on, but as soon as you turned around and went back, you continued to pursue the senior sister with a salivating face."
"Stop, friend." Lu Mingfei pushed, "Let's not talk about the fact that it was Nono who took me out of the cinema. It is outrageous in itself. Is it really reasonable for me to like Caesar's girlfriend? Caesar didn't fight. Did you call someone to sink me into the school’s artificial lake?”
"No, I'm afraid I think you have no chance, right? What is the margin and calmness of a strong person?" Lu Mingze thought for a while and said.
"This is really tragic." Lu Mingfei held it in for a long time and could only say this sentence, "Suppose, well, suppose that the theory of parallel universes you mentioned is true. After all, I can't provide evidence to refute it. You... people say on the Internet that there are infinite worlds and infinite possibilities, so there must be other worlds where I am doing well online, right? Can you give examples of those where I am successful?"
"Yes, and there are many more. You are very interesting in some world lines." Lu Mingze smiled,
"'Yuktrasill' experienced an 'explosion' a long time ago. After the 'explosion', it underwent a horrific redevelopment based on its original roots, which resulted in the rapid growth of new trunks. Many strong branches grew on it. But it seems that because they grew too wildly, the branches broke through the coating from the high latitude level, causing some extraneous factors to enter the ecological cycle of those branches. ...The final situation is that you, the brothers on the world line, all seem a bit...subversive?"
"Bian?" Lu Mingfei didn't understand the word.
"Those branches are too far away from us. They are basically re-branched branches. Normally, they will not affect our side, so there is no need to worry." Lu Mingze did not go into details, but looked at it meaningfully. He glanced at it and said, "There are versions of the scenery you want, but in some worlds you even become the new Dragon King, sitting on that throne to rewrite the rules and power of understanding the world."
"Even if it's a dream, you dare to dream too much. I'm too lazy to complain about this... But what you just said doesn't normally affect our side? Influence? Parallel worlds will also affect each other. ?" Lu Mingfei seemed to have heard a very scary word, and his brows were raised.
Even if he didn't quite believe the nonsense Lu Mingze said that was so grand that he found it unbelievable, the sense of crisis would still force him to ask further questions.
"There will be overlap between branches. Sometimes the overlap of branches will cause the two sides to be too close. A slight turbulence will cause an 'intersection'. This kind of 'intersection' will generally not cause any problems. At most, it will cause Let people living on the branches occasionally glimpse paradoxical scenery and memories, such as a sudden sense of déjà vu, and some future scenes dreamed of during sleep." Lu Mingze said, "The 'intersection' caused by this kind of overlap is as ordinary as It won’t have much impact, and there is basically no interference between Zhiya and Zhiya.”
"Under normal circumstances, what about special circumstances?" Lu Mingfei had a premonition.
"Brother, for some reason, you have peeked into another specious world before, right?" Lu Mingze did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"You mean..." Lu Mingfei's mind recalled the boundless desert, familiar and unfamiliar old friends, a collapsing world, war spreading like wildfire, and a paradise of dragons and evil spirits.
Compared with that dream, what he is experiencing now is simply a peaceful dream. In that dream, he saw too much death and tragedy. Those tears forced out of despair can fill the sea, and every wave hits the sea.
All that is left on the beach are wails of pain and unwilling roars.
Doomsday world line, the end of everything.
"That is a world line that is very close to the branch where we are." Lu Mingze said lightly.
Lu Mingfei froze.
He didn't really believe in Lu Mingze's so-called parallel world theory, but the nightmare of the doomsday scene did bother him for a long time. He couldn't explain why the stories he saw were so vivid and evocative, like...
A Shakespearean tragedy that really happened somewhere.
——He doesn't want to believe that the apocalyptic world is real. Once he believes in the theory proposed by Lu Mingze, everything will become different.
"You just said that under normal circumstances, the two sides will not affect each other, right?" Lu Mingfei felt a terrifying feeling in his heart, "What about unusual circumstances?"
"Unless someone can master the complete ancient powers, they have to look for the oldest powers, and then look for an 'opportunity' that may be rare in tens of millions of years, so that it is possible for the branches to have a little influence on each other.
Knowing the true impact of the world. As of now, basically no one can do this kind of thing." Lu Mingze said calmly.
"That's it!" Lu Mingfei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you still make it so scary!"
"This is not the only way to change the world line. The method you are thinking of is the most impossible, the most unscientific, and the most thankless approach." Lu Mingze said leisurely, "Smart people often do it.
Choosing tricky ways to accomplish seemingly impossible ends.”
Lu Mingfei's face froze, he looked at Lu Mingze and hesitated to speak.
Lu Mingze nodded and looked at the half-red sun hanging among the branches on the top of the mountain in the distance, "Obviously, someone wants to move our branch infinitely closer to the desperate world line you have seen...
