After returning to join everyone, Mutt briefly described the conversation with the black figure. Of course, he also skimmed over some details and only selected the parts he wanted to say.
"Seven hours?" After listening, Gusta rubbed his chin and thought: "That means they are about to synchronize the time in this place with the real world. Well, is synchronization the right word? In short, it is.
, it will take seven hours here just like the real world, and then the medical cabin can be sent?"
"That's probably what it means." The cat boy replied.
"Wouldn't we miss Leo's funeral after seven hours?" Gusta asked again: "Can't we go to the funeral first and then come back?"
"If you go out, you can't come back." Mutt said flatly: "They have no plans to give us special care."
"That's right..." Gusta touched his chin again: "Mutt, you can go to Leo's funeral alone. It's not too late now. Let us take care of Mr. Albert's affairs.
Okay. I can't just go missing with you and not attend such an important funeral."
"No." The cat boy pouted. Losing the opportunity to stay here in order to attend a friend's funeral would not be worth the loss. He knew very well what was more important to him.
"Why is Meow so obsessed with getting that medical cabin?" Albert, who was lying there listening quietly, finally couldn't help but speak: "This is a small injury, give me enough time."
I can recover. I don’t necessarily need a medical cabin. The flow of time in this different space is meaningless, which means that I have infinite time to recuperate..."
"No, I agree with the plan of getting the medical cabin." Eric, the strategist on the side, said: "Some injuries cannot be healed by time. Even if the golden period of treatment is missed, it may leave permanent consequences. Even if
You can rely on time to recover from this injury. If the old injury affects your combat effectiveness, it will be worth the loss."
"Don't think that all orcs are as fragile as humans." Albert retorted.
"Then you should see how terrible the injury you suffered was." Eric pushed back: "You can even see the ribs from the wound, and even part of the internal organs were exposed. If I hadn't suppressed it with telekinesis
With bleeding and injuries, you probably won’t survive the critical period.”
The young tiger man stopped talking.
"So, it's decided." Mutt took a sip of tea: "Give up attending Leo's funeral and let the guys from the abyss get the medical cabin. Cure Mr. Albert as soon as possible. That's the plan.
."
"I have no objection." Gusta, the tiger man, said: "If you stay here, I will stay here. I can apologize to Sister Xue Rui afterwards. I believe she can understand."
"Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me." Eric also said: "It is best if Mr. Albert can be cured as soon as possible, and we can take less care of him for a while."
"I'm really sorry to have to take care of you." Albert interjected.
"Don't be sorry, I will ask you for equivalent compensation after this matter is over." Eric hummed.
"You've finished confirming, right?" Outside the room, the black tiger shadow walked in: "Then the time will start to be synchronized with the real world."
No one knew what the so-called synchronized time actually meant. But they soon saw the specific phenomenon.
Originally, the surrounding area was pitch black, with only a white outline on everything. But as soon as the black figure representing the abyss finished speaking, the surrounding scenery began to change. The black, non-reflective scene began to turn gray, and the objects began to change.
A shadow appears when exposed to light.
It is indeed an intuitive representation of "time begins to flow".
"From this moment on, the flow speed of time here is one to one with that of the real world." The black figure said: "Well, everyone, let's see you in seven hours."
Then the black shadow disappeared.
"Hmm." Gusta knocked on the gray walls with his hands curiously. They made a strange echo.
"The power of the abyss is truly omnipotent," he said.
"Because they are in a higher dimension than the real world," Eric replied: "In the eyes of their high-latitude creatures, everything in our real world is probably as childish and insignificant as a game. As long as we find the right method,
You can hack the state of our world at will."
"But they are not omnipotent." Albert interjected: "If they want to modify the real real world, they will be modified by the laws of nature. What they can do is limited to this semi-real world, semi-abyss
A different space."
"Correct answer." Eric glanced at the young tiger man: "We in this different space are almost equivalent to their hostages. No matter what they do to us, we can't resist. Don't you really think that
Abyss will keep its promise. After you defeat the warriors of the ancients, you will stop the [sacrifice] treaty between them and the ancients, right?"
"I'm not that naive yet." Albert replied without hesitation: "But now we can only do it according to the rules they set. If I withdraw from this duel, it means that the ancients won, which means that
So they can continue their sacrifice and do whatever they want. Then more people will die in the real world."
"As long as the ancients don't die, they can challenge you again and again. But you only have one life." The strategist sighed: "What if the ancients had infinite challengers? There is no guarantee that you will fail and lose to them.
Even your life will be lost. Then everything you do will be in vain. Everything you do is meaningless, and the abyss is just watching the show, watching you and the ancients fight for their lives. If this continues, it will really
Okay?"
Eric asked a question that Albert had been wondering about for a long time. The tiger man young man shook his head: "I know this is not good. But there is no other choice now. And it is a good thing to kill one more ancient man."
, which means there is one less guy to deal with in the future."
"Do you really think that the ancient people you killed died permanently?" Eric asked: "For ancient people, we don't know what counts as [death]."
So Albert was left speechless by the question. Everything they faced was [Unknown], whether it was the abyss or ancient people. In the face of [Unknown], there was really nothing that could be asserted.
"So," Mutt, who had remained silent, finally found the opportunity to ask: "Have you considered the plan you mentioned before? The plan to destroy this alien space."
Everyone, including Albert, looked nervous.
"Don't talk about this here, be careful the walls have ears." Albert whispered.
"It's okay, they weren't eavesdropping nearby." Mutt said, "It's impossible for them to keep monitoring us in this different space with uncertain time flow."
"Why are you so sure?" Gusta asked.
"I can feel it to some extent." The cat boy replied: "When that guy appeared nearby, I could feel a faint chill. But now he is not here."
"Why, meow, can you..." Albert wanted to ask further, but he suddenly said: "Ah, I understand——"
Mutt also has some connection with the abyss. In other words, part of his body has long been eroded by the abyss grain boundary. Part of his body is in the abyss, and part of the abyss is also in his body. In short
In other words, Mutt is actually a kind of "abyss creature".
So can abyss creatures feel each other?
Although the erosion was not deep, Albert was somewhat eroded by the abyss grain boundary. In this way, every time the black shadow of the tiger man appeared, he did feel a faint chill. And Mutt was even more eroded.
Seriously, I guess that feeling will become more acute.
"Not to mention this," Albert then changed his words: "Why do you think we can destroy this alien space? Even my strength is not enough to fight against the huge thing in the abyss?"
"Didn't you say that?" Mutt asked back: "The abyss is not omnipotent. This is not the real abyss, but a different space between reality and the abyss. If they want to modify the real real world, will they
Corrected by the laws of nature."
"……so?"
"So, I'm thinking, if the state of this different space is closer to the real world, will the interference force of the abyss be smaller?" Mutt poked at the gray floor: "For example, the current flow of time and
When reality is one to one, has this alien space become very close to the real world? Is it easier for the natural laws of the real world to be corrected here, making this alien space easier to, um, destroy?"
After listening to Mutt's analysis, Albert was stunned for a long time. It was not because he didn't understand, but because he understood the truth. His will began to communicate with the Holy Spirit White Tiger, trying to get answers from the Holy Spirit.
The Holy White Tiger is the Holy Spirit who is best at controlling space. He understands the concept of [space] better, at least better than mortals. Perhaps it can provide a real solution.
"You're right, little genius." After being stunned for dozens of seconds, Albert said: "Xiaobai said, this is possible."
"noob?"
The Holy Spirit White Tiger emerged from the tail of Albert's tiger. At this time, it looked like a white kitten with tiger stripes.
"Oh, Xiaobai." Everyone nodded knowingly.
"You are right." Albert continued: "When they made this space consistent with the flow of time in the real world, it did become more unstable. But there is some huge force supporting this
Space, forcibly maintains the stability of this space. It is not that easy to destroy it."
"In other words, this plan is not feasible?"
"It shouldn't be possible to rely on Xiao Bai's power alone. Even if I enter the [Transcendental Saint] state, it's still very difficult to use the power from the gate of truth to enhance Xiao Bai's abilities." Albert hummed: "I don't know the outside world.
What is the situation? If someone from the outside exerts a big enough impact on this space and further weakens the stability here, Xiaobai might be able to do something."
"So it's a combination of inside and outside." Eric understood what Albert said: "Someone still needs to go out from here and inform the people outside. Let them attack [the big hole] directly from the outside."
"Theoretically, that's the case." Albert nodded and said, "But I'm not sure how powerful the attack is to destroy the stability of this different space. Maybe if all the firepower of modern people is gathered, it will
It’s not enough to shake this alien space.”
"What's more, we can't call so many people to help." Gusta said in confusion: "No one knows what happened here, and no one would believe it even if they told it. Even if they want to believe it, people in the world are still selfish.
Yes, it is estimated that it will be difficult to mobilize the entire world and spend such huge manpower and material resources to attack a seemingly harmless [big hole]. This plan is really impossible to implement..."
"What if -" Mutt suddenly had a devilish idea: "If this [big hole] itself becomes a huge disaster - the kind of disaster that can destroy hundreds of millions of lives in one breath - if it is so dangerous,
Is it enough to make the whole world take notice?"
