Lu Li was floating in the sky above the camp, waiting for the darkness to sink into the night and the dawn to rise.
Elder Sinan, a wise race wearing a pale cloak, was also nearby, while the businessman hid deep in the invisible blizzard.
The tungsten filament in the light bulb is like a dark moon, the room is dark and lightless, and the furnishings are dormant in the darkness.
Before the "sun" was lit, Lu Li could only recall the arms, doors, and chandeliers he had seen before.
Common things turn into macroscopic behemoths, causing indescribable fear.
"Is what I see the real world?"
"Yes, but occasionally it turns into a scene you can understand."
What Lu Li saw was a sand table, and what Si Nan, a wise race, saw might be an ant box.
Lu Li's gaze briefly returned to the stretching alpine tundra.
Ants are obviously just a metaphor. Based on the proportions of a sand table, humans cannot be as big and strong as ants... The "ant kingdom" should be the bacterial community in the microscopic world.
"Oh, your civilization has discovered fungi? If time is enough, you will also become a new wise race."
Elder Si Nan of the wise race praised Lu Li's idea.
"You know my thoughts?"
Lu Li wondered why the wise elder Si Nan knew what he was thinking.
"Ants' information is leaking out all the time. You can't find it, but we can."
This is not even voyeurism, just observation in an incomprehensible way, as if from a higher dimension.
Ants swing their tentacles to communicate, and observing the presence of the ants tells you what the ants want to express.
"What are dimensions?"
Elder Sinan of the wise race found a word he didn't understand, but guessed that it meant something.
"A theory. Ants live in a two-dimensional world of length and width and cannot understand the existence of height. Food falling seems to appear suddenly. Humans know length, width and height, one more dimension than ants, but they still cannot understand you.
appeared suddenly."
While narrating, Lu Li suddenly thought of it - when he summoned the intelligent race Si Nan, he saw it falling from outside the sand table. In the past, when summoning the intelligent race Si Nan, it appeared directly in the summoning array.
"With careful thinking, you are becoming a high-dimensional creature when you see the ant box."
More importantly, Lu Li didn't go crazy because of seeing Gao Wei.
Squeak——
At this time, a ray of light burst into the dark room outside the world.
A black shadow walked into the room through the gap outside the door. As the door closed, the room returned to darkness. Only the light of burning cigars circled to the other side of the mountain. "Kacha" opened the chandelier.
It's dawn.
Lu Li narrowed his eyes slightly at the sudden brightness of the world, and soon, the swirling cigar smoke turned into clouds and blizzard.
Woohoo——
It was as if the scraping sound of tables and chairs scraping the floor gradually turned into a roaring violent storm of snow.
Lu Li lost his characteristics as a "four-dimensional creature".
Elder Si Nan of the wise race noticed Lu Li's change and was puzzled by it. Lu Li took out the leather paper obtained by the expedition team.
Elder Sinan, a wise race who seems to know everything, said: "The ant colonies of the previous generation were smarter. Not only did they realize that they lived in an ant box, they also had a way to see the ant box..."
Maybe even try to jump out of the ant box.
Lu Li took out the paper recording the recording stone again, and the real smoke shrouded it again, reminding Lu Li that there was an approaching crisis: "The expedition team said it was cursed, what is that?"
"Some kind of pollution originates from cognition, but when you see it, they subside and can no longer affect you."
The words of Si Nan, a wise race, were credible enough. Lu Li put away the paper and stopped trying to observe the real world for the time being.
"What is their end?"
Lu Li asked about the stories of the previous generations - they obviously produced a more glorious civilization than humans, but now only the ruins buried deep in the ground prove that they once existed.
"Nature is real and cruel, and the carefree ant kingdom in the ant box naively thinks that this is the whole world." Elder Sinan of the wise race told the story of the previous generation, and at the same time warned Lu Li and his civilization: "
They set out with confidence, and what awaits them are strong predators, trampling and playing with by children, and horrific natural disasters..."
Lu Li followed the wise race Si Nan's narration and thought about everything that had happened——
Human beings, as small as fungi, live in a world called the sandbox. They think they have built an immortal civilization, but they have not yet explored one-tenth of the sandbox. The urchins put the captured bugs into the sandbox, and they eat the fungi instead of putting them away.
The bugs in the recipe are worshiped as gods by the fungus and fight with other bugs.
Once upon a time, a bug named Prada awakened, and the watching eyes from deep space may have been that the owner of the house discovered it falling into the sand table; so hiding underground is really safe. The bugs cannot pass through the gaps that fungi can pass through, and the owner of the house
Nor can we see the civilization deep in the soil.
And in the deep sky above the back mountain range of the world shrouded by the "blizzard", is there a figure standing in front of the sand table, with the cigar in his mouth flickering in and out of light?
"Can you take me out of the sandbox?"
Lu Li's rationality and sensibility unified his will for the first time: he saw the outside world with his own eyes.
But Elder Si Nan of the wise race rejected him: "Young intelligent beings, don't try to have too much knowledge. Even Si Nan, the wise race, will discard a lot of useless knowledge."
"Countless amazing intelligent races were annihilated by their endless curiosity." It seemed to see Lu Li's confusion, "Exuberant curiosity is both wine and poison, you should know."
The more you know, the sooner you will die.
Lu Li, who was once an investigator, knew this very well.
Lu Li had always avoided putting himself in meaningless dangers before losing Anna.
before actually dying.
The presentation of the real world made Lu Li think: Could he, who suddenly appeared in the sandbox world, be an outsider like a bug?
Lu Li continued to ask questions to Elder Si Nan of the wise race. He asked about the Lord of Dreams, about the Beholder Worm, and about the source of the original darkness.
Si Nan was worthy of the prefix of the wise race, and it completely answered all of Lu Li's questions.
The Ever Dreamer is a miracle of the birth of bacteria. His body is as weak as a fungus, and his will is stronger than all intelligent races. The Beholder Worm is a bug that attracts the attention of children.
When Lu Li was about to pay the price for getting the answer: humanity, Elder Si Nan of the wise race rejected him: "This is a gift from the wise race to welcome life out of the ant box."
The wise creature reiterated what he had said at the beginning:
"Welcome to the real world."
Elder Si Nan of the wise race bid farewell to Lu Li and disappeared into the magic circle in the snowstorm.
At this time, Lu Li read the paper again to stop the fading real vision.
Then, he saw Elder Sinan of the wise race rising higher and higher through the layers of smoke, turning into an insignificant black dot, joining the swarm of flying insects lingering under the light bulb.
