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 go to infinity? What is the nature of this dark space? Why does it appear here, behind the door of the lost? That door is located
What is the connection between the Homeless Gate in subspace and the Homeless Gate in the real world? And the most important thing...
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 wild 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 didn't know it. The single apartment was his shelter fortress, and the words that emerged in this dark space
It was his registration document before entering the shelter...
In the darkness, his thoughts flowed uncontrollably, but after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly put away all his random thoughts.
"… Enough time has been wasted."
He muttered softly.
There are no more clues here, only phantoms that can shake his mind - whether there is really a huge secret hidden in this dark space, or whether it is just another conspiracy and temptation of subspace for him, he has no idea.
It's time to spend your time here getting into trouble.
Zhou Ming took a gentle breath, letting his mind gradually calm down, and then decided to conduct one last test and exploration of this dark space before leaving.
He walked away, cautiously and cautiously, away from the door.
More words are emerging under the feet - the content is similar to before, but more detailed and formal, and more and more like a registration document used in a formal occasion.
Zhou Ming silently wrote down these words while looking 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.
The more he walked, the more cautious he became, moving only a dozen centimeters forward with each step.
Suddenly, he noticed that the words appearing under his feet had changed——
“In the case of ￥#%&……%, is it @#?”
"￥@* is about 355 to *&, there may be &...%%&..."
The text began to become confusing, the sentences became weird and incomprehensible, and the originally clear and smooth records became something that could not even be read.
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.
It's getting weirder and more confusing, and the frequency of confusion is increasing exponentially. At first, he can still see a few meaningful words in each sentence, but soon he can't even appear in several sentences.
At the level of a text, after that, he couldn't even see those "garbled characters".
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 trembling projections that almost violate geometric laws.
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.
Finally, even those chaotic jumping lines and light spots disappeared, and nothing new appeared again.
Zhou Ming immediately stopped.
He has not lost his mind yet and has not become obsessed with this process of constantly exploring the unknown.
He turned around, and the door he came from was almost only a dim spot of light, but it still stood quietly in the darkness.
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.
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 Homeless Ship.
Putting his hand on the door, the solid texture made Zhou Ming, who had been wandering and exploring in the darkness for a long time, feel an inexplicable sense of solidity. Then he took a gentle breath and stepped through the door.
A cool sea breeze blew in his face, and the bright sky that suddenly appeared in his field of vision made Duncan feel a little uncomfortable for a while. 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 eyes.
Perception - perhaps because I have been in a quiet place for too long, the sound of crashing waves suddenly appeared like thunder.
Duncan was suddenly stunned.
He checked his surroundings, and what he saw was the familiar Lost Home, the familiar boundless sea, and the sun hanging in the sky, bound by double runes.
He returned to the real dimension.
This unexpected situation made him a little confused, because the second before he stepped through the gate in the 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 there, I would directly return to reality... What is the pattern here?
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?
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 sun, with a few words on the door frame shining brightly in the sky.
Duncan's mind suddenly became active.
There are many doors on the Homeless Ship, but only three of them are special. The first is the "Homeless Man's Door", and the second is the gloomy wooden door deep in the cabin leading to the bilge, which is marked "
The sign 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, and may be called the "Gate to Subspace".
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.
Now it seems that this "consistency" may have marked the real "exit" from the beginning!
With the answer vaguely in his mind, Duncan breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped forward and opened the door to the captain's cabin.
After crossing the door, he confirmed that the opposite side was not darkness, but his bachelor apartment - everything was normal in the room.
Then he returned to the ship again and this time opened the door to the captain's cabin.
The familiar chart room, the familiar elegant furnishings, the familiar table, and the familiar goat's head on the table.
For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of security when he saw the goat's head still sitting on the table.
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?"
"Duncan Abnomar, it's me, I'm back," Duncan said immediately. He had already guessed that the other party would definitely 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. This kind of "name confirmation" seems a bit random on the surface, but there seems to be a faint pattern in it, "I went to a very far place."
"Ah, Captain! You are finally back!" The goat head immediately made an exaggerated and enthusiastic voice, as noisy as ever, "You suddenly left the ship completely, I was really shocked! You usually walk in the spirit world.
At least you will leave your body here! But just now all your breath has disappeared...and you are back from the deck now? Where did you go?"
All breath gone? Completely left the ship?
Duncan's eyes changed slightly in an instant.
As expected, I entered the place suspected of subspace with my body, not the "consciousness projection" I thought at first!
He raised his head, looked into the dark eyes of the goat head, and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Don't be scared if I tell you."
"Ah, don't worry, your first mate is not only loyal and brave, but also brave and loyal..."
"I went to subspace."
Goat Head: "...?!"
After half a minute, the guy suddenly made a loud noise, and his neck seemed to be broken: "Ship...Ship...Captain?! You said you..."
"I went to the subspace, if I'm not mistaken," Duncan said as he walked into the captain's cabin and picked up the lantern placed on the shelf next to him, "Wait for me first."
After saying that, without waiting for the goat head to speak, he directly left the captain's cabin with a lantern, and then walked through the decks and cabins almost in a hurry, and went straight to the bottom of the Lost Home.
He passed through the "last door" and came to the shattered bilge.
The gaps between the bilge hulls still have that dark and chaotic appearance. Within the limited field of vision, not many details can be seen. Only chaotic light and shadow turbulence and occasional flashes of light can be seen jumping and flowing in the darkness.
And the most dangerous "subspace door" stands quietly in the center of the cabin.
The door is closed tightly, there is no gap at all.
