This is the first time that Goat Head has told himself so many secrets about subspace, and it is also the most frank communication between him and Goat Head.
Before today, this goat head had always shown a huge resistance to subspace, and it would avoid related topics whenever possible, and never directly answered its insinuating questions. And its attitude at that time seemed to be more than just worrying about the Lost Home.
We are also worried about the stability of "Captain Duncan".
But just today, its attitude relaxed - after the captain ran to the subspace, closed the door, and then ran back like nothing happened.
It seemed that it finally relaxed and dared to tell what it knew.
The goat head said that he didn't know many things, and he couldn't guarantee the authenticity of a series of information. But for Duncan, even the things it said now were enough for him to think about for a long time - not only did this
It has exceeded his current understanding of subspace, and may even exceed the depth of research by scholars in the current civilized world.
After thinking for a long time, Duncan raised his head and looked thoughtfully into the goat-headed eyes: "...you actually know so much."
"I know something more or less...but I definitely didn't mean to hide it from you," the goat-headed voice sounded a little nervous, "the less you know about things related to subspace, the better, because many times, knowledge itself
It's pollution, but now it seems that the great Captain Duncan obviously doesn't have to worry about this..."
"Just treat it as a sincere compliment," Duncan said casually, then looked the goat's head up and down, and asked unwillingly, "Is that really all I know? Are there any more details? For example, that
The identity of the pale cyclops and so on..."
"This is really difficult for me," Goat Head said a little helplessly, "To tell you the truth, my memory... actually had some problems, and many things were forgotten 'over there'. Now all I have left are these superficial
impression."
Duncan stared silently into the goat's head's eyes. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze.
The goat head indirectly admitted another thing - it was indeed not the "occupant" on the ship from the beginning, but came from the "other side", from subspace!
Did the Lost Home "bring" something out when it was escaping from the subspace, and then that thing turned into a goat head? Or did the goat head consciously hitch a ride and escape from the subspace? Is this a transaction?
?
For some reason, the figure of the pale giant who died on the edge of the celestial fragments appeared in Duncan's mind again.
The subspace is crowded with the wreckage of the old world after it was shattered, but those seem to be more than just wreckage... The goat head seems to come from the subspace, and it has reason, can think, and can even communicate, so there are other things in the subspace
Is it something similar? Or...if you return to the subspace, the goat head will change into a different look, becoming...something similar to the pale giant? Is that why it is so resistant to "going back"?
Duncan had many questions at once, but in the end he didn't ask them directly.
Because he knew that the other party would never answer questions that were directly pointed at the Goat Head itself and that might be pointed at "Captain Duncan" - this involved the stability of the Lost Home in the real dimension.
So he exhaled softly and stood up, signaling the temporary end of this topic.
Bright sunlight shines through the windows and shines on the simple and elegant furnishings in the captain's room, giving off a hazy luster in the dust.
"I missed the sunrise today," Duncan said suddenly, "Did the sun rise as usual today?"
"Yes, the sun rises on time at sunrise," Goat Head replied immediately. "It seems that the delayed sunrise was just an accident. Vision 001 is still operating normally."
"...For an existence like Vision 001, as long as something goes wrong once, fear will always be imprinted in the human heart. Those who have noticed the '15 minutes' may never greet the sunrise as easily as before.
," Duncan shook his head slightly, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, "Wait, do you still remember when sunset was yesterday?"
"Sunset?" Goat Head recalled for a moment and spoke uncertainly, "The sunset should be on time and not affected. What's the point of asking...ah!"
"You have come to your senses," Duncan looked away from the window, "Yesterday the sun rose fifteen minutes late, but set on time. This means one thing."
"...It cruised the sky at a faster speed than usual yesterday," Goat Head said after realizing, "Phantom 001...can it consciously adjust its own operation?"
Duncan spoke in a deep voice: "At least it consciously accelerated yesterday to ensure that the 'sunset' was executed at the right time."
The goat head's tone was a little hesitant: "Then this...is it a good thing? This shows that Vision 001 has a certain self-healing function. Even if there is a slight problem, it is consciously ensuring that the world can run smoothly..."
Duncan didn't speak again.
Goat Head's attitude seemed very optimistic, but he did not feel relaxed at all because of the "self-adjustment" of Vision 001. Instead, he felt even more nervous after confirming that the sun had actively accelerated throughout the day.
Because he knows a truth - when a large, ancient and unsupervised system suddenly starts to use its own reserve resources to repair itself, it often does not mean that the problem will be solved, but it is a signal that the problems have accumulated to a critical point!
Duncan couldn't help but come to the window, opened it completely, and looked up at the huge light in the sky that was shining on the world, and the two circles of runes surrounding the light.
The light emitted by Vision 001 is very bright, but not dazzling. Duncan can even barely look directly at it.
But suddenly, Duncan's eyes froze.
He stared hard at the sun and the runes on the edge of the ancient vision. He carefully distinguished it and finally confirmed that he had read it correctly.
On the outer ring of the double runes, under the light, there is a slightly dim place. If you look closely, there seems to be a vague... gap there.
…
Plande, in the antique store, Duncan, who was sitting behind the counter supervising Shirley, Alice and Agou as they copied letters, suddenly raised his head, and then quickly walked out of the store under the surprised gazes of the three "students" and came to
Looking up at the sky in the open space in front of the antique store.
After a while, until this fragile human body felt a little dizzy, Duncan closed his eyes and lowered his head.
Nina, who was helping to teach Shirley and others how to read, ran out worriedly: "Uncle Duncan, what's wrong with you?"
Duncan raised his head and gently rubbed Nina's hair.
"It's okay, I just came out to check the weather."
"Look at the weather?" Nina looked up at the clear sky in confusion, "Can't we just look out the window in the store? It's such a clear day...ah, is something going to happen again?"
As Nina spoke, she suddenly lowered her voice and came over mysteriously to grab Duncan's sleeve: "Did you think of something on the boat? Are we going to take an adventure?"
"...Riding adventures, how can there be so many risks to take?" Duncan looked at the girl who had always thought about the "thrilling new life" ever since he found out about the Lost Home. "Don't be afraid that the world will not be in chaos."
, isn’t world peace bad?”
Nina stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, while Shirley, who slipped over to see the situation out of curiosity out of curiosity, was in a daze after hearing Duncan's words. She was stunned for a while, then turned to follow Agou who was hiding in the shadows.
He muttered: "The captain said he likes world peace."
Agou didn't react at all.
Shirley frowned, repeated it again, and then tugged on the chain that was fused to her arm at an angle blocked by the door frame: "Agou, didn't you hear me?"
Agou's voice finally came from the shadows: "I'm memorizing the alphabet, don't disturb my study."
Shirley: "...You really learned it?!"
"Nonsense, Mr. Duncan came back to check his homework...Miss Alice is even more serious than you!"
Shirley was stunned: "Homework? What homework?"
However, Agou did not answer her.
Because Duncan had already brought Nina back to the door, and Shirley's last whisper fell on the former's ears.
"Homework is something that makes me angry if you don't write it," Duncan smiled and looked at Shirley, who was suddenly stiff. "Go back and copy the alphabet ten times."
Shirley was about to cry immediately: "Then...then why don't you beat me..."
"real?"
Shirley suddenly became excited: "No, no, no, I'm going to copy the alphabet right now!"
Duncan shook his head, and then temporarily arranged for Shirley, Agou and Alice to study on their own, and asked Nina to supervise them. He himself took one last look at the sky outside, then stood in front of the window and fell into thinking.
