Minnie's brain finally came to her senses, and she looked at the ancient tree in front of her, as well as Chen Enzhi and others beside her.
"Here we are?"
No one answered, as if they couldn't hear what she was saying.
Minnie frowned, am I still in a dream? Or, am I also lost?
Various speculations and questions lingered in her mind, and Minnie felt very painful. She frowned and wanted to take a step forward, but found that her body fell backwards uncontrollably.
But the next moment, there was no fall as imagined.
The world has changed, or in other words, the things in front of Minnie have changed.
The ancient tree disappeared, and so did Chen Enzhi and the others. It felt like the world had flipped around the point at Minnie's feet as the axis. Now Minnie saw the other side of a square.
Where is this?
The scene in front of me is really not very good...the ground is red, the sky is dim, and wherever you look, you can see wreckage and bones everywhere.
This time Minnie found that she could move.
So she walked forward along the road under her feet, and as she walked, a huge human remains appeared at the end of the world.
How to describe that kind of hugeness?
Minnie was stunned for a long time before she remembered a comparison...
Just like she was looking at Arno's Heart from afar on the streets of Erub... It was as majestic as a mountain, and as mysterious as the night...
After walking for who knows how long, Minnie unknowingly came to the vicinity of the human remains. Now she could touch it as long as she raised her hand, but Minnie did not dare.
It’s not that the corpse was horribly rotten, nor that the stench was unbearable, but when she got closer, Minnie discovered that the inside of the corpse was hollow, with faintly visible blooming flowers, just like what Minnie saw when she first arrived in Vasalir Forest.
The scene that arrived.
What's going on? Alien humans?
Minnie had many guesses, but none of them felt right... because the things in front of her didn't seem to have any special symbolic meaning. Just like the Yasod World Ring she saw before, they were just traces of copying, a kind of
Just a huge appearance.
Thinking of this, Minnie took a deep breath, then slowly raised her hand and touched the translucent body.
And just when Minnie's hand almost touched the body, a voice suddenly sounded from behind Minnie.
"Who are you?"
"Wow!" Minnie was startled. Ever since she was trapped in a dreamlike prison, there had been no sound in her ears. Such a sudden sound would kill her.
The other party also seemed to feel very embarrassed, and he comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm, I'm just curious about why there are humans like you here?"
Minnie instinctively raised her hands in a defensive posture and squatted on the ground. After hearing these words, she opened her eyes and looked.
As a result, what she saw was a big man whose appearance and shape were completely different from those of a normal person. From a visual inspection, he was three meters tall, and his legs were longer than Minnie's entire body.
"What do you mean, a human like me? And...who are you? Where is this place?"
The other party did not seem to have any ill intentions, because he answered simply: "My name is Zhang Yu, I am one of the few survivors in this world, and here... emmmmm... you can regard it as a mirror of the real world.
But the world produced by this kind of mirroring is also real...it’s just that it’s much more miserable than the real world.”
Although the name Zhang Yu??! is unfamiliar, Minnie feels like she has heard it somewhere.
"Wait a minute, what are you talking about about mirroring and the real world? I'm completely confused..." Minnie cried with a sad face. She thought she understood everything and her relationship was good, but another big problem was thrown on her face.
.
But Zhang Yu was not Chen Enzhi. He knelt down and raised his hand, and a mirror appeared in his palm.
"The mirror world, as the name suggests, is a world reproduced using the principle of mirror imaging. However, everything here is not the opposite of the real world, but exactly the same. The only difference is that this world has no past and no future."
It sounds a bit familiar... Minnie frowned, and then she said with an ooh, "Isn't this... Super Yuan's intervention?"
Zhang Yu was a little surprised. He was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "It can be understood in this way, but the scope of super yuan's intervention is limited and is subject to the collected memory fragments, while the mirror world is a complete existence.
A place with countless random variables.”
Uh...it also sounds a bit familiar...isn't this "The Other Side of the Realm"?
But this time Minnie didn't ask. She knew that what Zhang Yu wanted to express was that this world is exactly the same as the world Minnie lives in, but it is just a section of the real world. In other words, the only difference is that the time here is a time without
There is a beginning and no end.
Thinking of this, Minnie was suddenly startled and couldn't help but remember what Sumi said.
…
"He is on the other side, at the beginning of everything, and at the end of everything. Although he transcends the shackles of Yuan, he is also completely entangled by Yuan. The spiral of contradictions becomes a cage. When the darkest fear comes, he is lost.
, now I need you to help me find him, as soon as possible, and do your best."
…
"Then...what happened in this world? Also, what did you mean when you said...human beings like me?"
Zhang Yu didn't get up because he was too tall, but his smile disappeared and his eyes moved away from Minnie.
"The world is destroyed, or... according to the idea of the central curtain, human beings have finally successfully reached the other side of eternity, and all living beings have obtained the most perfect destination... Of course, as you can see, there are ruins and desolation, except for you
Except for the vertical light angels behind and a few survivors like me, there is no more life left." Zhang Yu's tone was very calm, but in the calm, Minnie felt the despair and loneliness that had gone through countless pains and separations...
…
Become a survivor of the entire world?
"As for humans like you I mentioned... Haha, you have also seen that in order to resist the central curtain, we have to adopt extreme evolutionary methods. The price of this evolution is to lose the appearance of being human, become stronger, and
You have become either ugly or ferocious... In short, you no longer look like a normal person, and you have also lost almost all the things that normal people have. For example... I have never been able to see your appearance clearly. In my eyes, you
It's just the outline of a waveform that exudes psionic energy." After Zhang Yu said this, he smiled bitterly. He looked very shy, a little sad, but more of an embarrassment.
This emotional contagion made Minnie suddenly feel sympathetic and fond of this stranger.
"Then... according to you, it shouldn't be 115 years now, right?"
Zhang Yu was startled, then laughed: "You are so smart. It is March 15, 201, the 30th anniversary of the fall of the last human resistance army. I have just returned here from a far away place.
I plan to pay homage to my former partner."
Former partner... Minnie's scalp was numb when she heard about the year 201 of the Era. Now when she heard about her former partner again, she suddenly felt an inexplicable fear coming over her.
"Can I...can I go with you?"
"You?" Zhang Yu was a little surprised.
Minnie saw his expressionless expression after standing up, thinking that her curiosity had made him unhappy, so Minnie quickly explained.
"Ah! Don't get me wrong! Although I come from the world of 115 years, after all, there were my compatriots here, so...so...that..."
"Well, okay, let's go, I'll take you to see everyone." Zhang Yu already understood, he smiled again, then turned around and walked away from the sun.
Minnie let out a sigh of relief and followed closely behind.
The two of them walked very far until they came to the head of the so-called "Vertical Light Angel" and crossed a red sand dune. Only then did Minnie finally see the group of people Zhang Yu mentioned.
"Be good! There are so many..." Minnie took a breath as soon as she saw that scene.
The dense white crosses stretched from the foot of the hill to the end of the field of vision, but Minnie felt that that was not the end yet. There should be many more farther away.
But...this...
"These crosses have been placed here by me and several other survivors over the past thirty years. In fact, there are no corpses under them. They are just used to leave memories." Zhang Yu walked among them, and he raised his hands one by one.
To touch those names.
Minnie swallowed and thought to herself, if the world really becomes like this...then I would rather be one of them in this cemetery than live alone in this world.
"Well...it seems like the sand dunes have moved a lot. We seem to be in the center of the cemetery now. Hmm...that's good...if we walk further, we can see the people I'm familiar with."
Those familiar people... Minnie's uneasiness in her heart amplified.
She silently followed Zhang Yu, walking and walking... walking and walking...
Finally, when the silhouette of the vertical light angel behind him was only the size of a fist, Zhang Yu stood still. At this moment, the sky was completely dark.
However, with the help of the battle clothes on her body, Minnie could still clearly see those names.
"These are my old friends. They all made great sacrifices for mankind as a whole in the battle against the Central Veil... But I am really ashamed... I, a survivor, have not been able to inherit their will.
Finally, let the world usher in its rest..." Zhang Yu sat down, facing a cross.
Minnie took a closer look and was greatly shocked when she saw the words on the cross were "Linsen Era 80 - Era 159."
Although Zhang Yu couldn't see him anymore, he still remembered who he was in front of.
So Zhang Yu called out the name without touching it.
