Chapter 7 Boundary Time and Space
After working hard for a while, Chen Changcai recruited six new people. Counting Wan Yi from the morning, there were seven people in total. Only then did Chen Chang stop.
After discussing with everyone, Chen Changcai quickly convinced everyone to experience the boundary on the first day.
"Do I need to prepare anything for self-defense?" someone in the team asked.
"No, this is your first time entering the boundary. The main reason is to experience it. I will take you to a normal boundary time and space. It is a modern society just like our previous world. There is no danger." Chen Changcai said while leading the way.
Hearing what he said, everyone relaxed to a certain extent.
Along the way, there were people in the team who kept talking to Chen Changcai, hoping to get to know each other better and get familiar with each other. Chen Changcai was also happy to do this. The atmosphere in the team was pretty good.
Wan Yi patted the thick gravel off his face a little.
Just now, Chen Changcai told him that if he was going to the boundary line with a modern background, he suggested that he tidy up his appearance a little, in case he was traced by the police in the boundary line.
Chen Changcai also introduced the city to everyone along the way.
"The refugee reception area is the southern part of the city, and the city gate is also the south gate. Every time the boundary line corresponding to the big city gate is thrown out, it will only be opened twice a year, and only during these two times will the city accept crossings? Refugees, if you don’t make it in time, you will just be waiting in the temporary settlement outside like the refugees you saw when you came.”
Chen Changcai pointed to the city gate where everyone came from and said.
"By the way, Brother Chen, since this world is made up of empty islands, where did the sun and moon come from? How does time work?" Someone asked a question.
"Each sky island has its own 'sun' and 'moon', but although they emit light and heat, according to the exploration of some thoughtful people, it seems that they do not really exist. They can be seen but cannot be touched." Chen Changcai shook his head. He shook his head, and then continued: "As for the time calculation method, generally we follow the central calculation method of the Kongdao Group. We belong to the Dawn Alliance here, so we all follow the Shuguang calculation method. In fact, it is the same as the previous world, at most If you have the opportunity to go to other sky islands in the future, remember to compare the times of different sky islands to avoid delays."
Wan Yi listened quietly.
I thought this world was pretty random.
"If we regard this world as a broken world, can we think that the sun and moon are also broken, so this phenomenon occurs?" The clone opened his imagination.
"How could a celestial body like the sun break?"
"The world is broken, what is impossible now? Besides, we will all be cloned!"
"Yes, yes, we will be separated."
After Chen Changcai walked for a while, he pointed to a wide-open city gate that could be seen in the distance and said: "That's the East City Gate of the East District. Unless there is an accident, the city gate is open around the clock on weekdays and leads directly to the city. The boundary line on the edge, which is also the city gate with the largest flow of people, is our target."
When you get closer, you will find that the east gate is actually smaller than the south gate when you came, but there are more levels inside and outside the city gate.
The entrance and exit of the city gate is very smooth, and what you see when you exit the city gate is the large colorful ribbon that almost takes up the entire field of vision.
It was like a huge mountain range was sitting in front of me, and a feeling of oppression came over me.
You can see all kinds of people coming and going around, dressed in different styles, either in suits or wearing armor.
Many others came out of the boundary. Some were rejoicing at today's harvest, while others hurriedly carried their companions out and went to the first aid facility nearby to seek help. This is also a form of sentient beings.
Seeing this scene, everyone became a little nervous as newcomers.
More or less, I have a glimpse of my possible future life.
Looking at the boundary line from a close distance, I found that the surface of this large ribbon was not smooth and clean, but had vortices formed by countless fragments of particles, which seemed to be the entrance to the boundary.
Corresponding to the entrances of these whirlpools, some facilities have also been built in front of the boundary to help people board those remote whirlpools.
They came to a more eye-catching entrance. There were quite a few people coming and going here, and there were even staff members maintaining order inside.
Wan Yi noticed a sign next to the vortex that read "Depth: 3.5%".
"Chen Changcai, what does that number mean?" Wan Yi asked directly.
His question attracted the attention of Chen Changcai and others.
Chen Changcai also answered directly: "The depth of the boundary is used to judge whether a boundary time and space conforms to the normal reality in most people's thinking. The more deviation there is, the deeper the depth will be, and the more things in the time and space will exceed common sense. At the same time, the depth It is also related to people’s accumulation of negative thoughts. It is said that in the deep area, the boundaries of space and time are all strange worlds, and the fragments of terrifying and terrifying fantasy have been deposited there.”
Wan Yi nodded.
It is equivalent to an alternative difficulty prompt.
The depth of this boundary is only 3.5%, which means that it is almost no different from the world in normal people's thinking. It is a fairly safe time and space.
After queuing for a while, it was finally their turn.
A group of eight people stepped into the whirlpool of the boundary, and their bodies were swallowed up by the whirlpool while looking at them curiously.
There is no strange feeling, it just feels like a membrane has passed through my body.
When they reacted, they were already in an alley.
Looking at the tall buildings surrounding them and the cars speeding past through the crack of the alley exit, the newlyweds suddenly felt as if they were in another world.
"Are we back?!"
"Calm down, it's just a boundary of time and space. It all looks real, but in fact it's just an illusion made up of fragments. Here you can eat, drink, have fun and have enough food and clothing, but you can't take away anything except the conceptual fragments." Seeing someone's excitement, Chen Changcai hurriedly explained.
"Wouldn't it be possible to live here for the rest of your life?" Wan Yi came to the entrance of the alley and looked out. He found that he was not as excited as he had expected to see the modern scenery again.
Rather, it's quite bland.
"That's not possible. Each boundary time and space has a stay limit. If you don't leave after the time limit, you will become part of this boundary and lose your current personality and memory to get a 'new life' here." Chen Changcai said.
Wan Yi couldn't help but think of the theater.
The clone will also lose its personality and memory when entering the script. These boundary time and space may have some relationship with the power of the theater.
"Is that considered a painless suicide?" Wan Yi made a black joke.
If all existing personality and memories are changed, a person is indeed "dead" in a sense.
Chen Changcai wiped his cold sweat, raised his eyebrows slightly, and continued without any intention of taking the joke: "Each time and space has different methods of escaping. Some time and space will even set the method of exit to a certain event that you must experience, like It is a task that is forced on you to complete. But this time and space is very good, you only need to leave this city to escape."
"Then without further ado, let's quickly talk about how to obtain the fragments!" A man said, seeming to be very anxious about obtaining the fragments. He must have just felt some pressure to survive.
Chen Changcai nodded: "When it comes to how to obtain fragments, it can be summed up in one word: interaction. If you want a fragment of something, then interact with the object and existence related to that fragment."
"To what extent do we need to interact?" someone asked in detail.
"There are so many situations that it's a bit hard to say. Some things just happen naturally. However, there is a kind of interaction that is much more convenient to obtain fragments, but you have to do what you can."
"What is it?"
"that is……"
Just as Chen Changcai was about to say this, suddenly there was a loud noise outside, as if something exploded.
Everyone except Chen Changcai and Wan Yi trembled.
"What...what's wrong? Isn't it said to be a safe boundary?!"
Wan Yi whistled. He stood at the intersection and looked not far away and said, "Those are also outsiders, right? What are they doing? A terrorist attack?"
After hearing the words, everyone came to him and looked out cautiously, and saw a few poorly equipped people rushing out of a burning high-rise building. Each of them was carrying a few bags, with a somewhat ferocious look on their faces. .
The things in the bag were not money, but some slightly shiny particle-like objects could be vaguely seen.
Concept fragments!
These people threw their things into a van and then all got into the vehicle and evacuated quickly. The sound of ambulances, fire trucks and police cars blaring simultaneously could soon be heard on the street.
"Well... that's what I want to say is the most efficient way of interaction - destruction." Chen Changcai saw that he was about to speak, but he was a little embarrassed when someone demonstrated on the spot.
"That place seems to be a big shopping mall. Those people took over there and got a lot of fragments. However, being so rough can easily be targeted by the boundary time and space. The police in this time and space will launch a fierce pursuit of them. They must You have to leave the city before being caught to take the fragments away," Chen Changcai said.
"Ordinary people can't do this kind of thing." A girl's voice was trembling.
She saw many injured people being carried out of the building, as well as corpses, and the screams and pain of countless people.
Even though Chen Changcai had said that those were false, that they were repetitive worlds that would cycle every time, and that there were even countless backup parallel time and spaces, there was no doubt that for a normal person who had just traveled through time, the impact of this scene was Still too big.
Not only this sensual girl, but also others could not help but remain silent.
Chen Changcai sighed slightly: "You won't understand what I say now, but what I want to say is that the majority of explorers choose this method. After you have experienced the hardships of life, you will soon become numb, and then choose the right path. The best solution for you."
It was so real from the beginning, and the originally relaxed atmosphere was gone.
At this moment, Wan Yi, who had just gone to nowhere, came back.
"Where have you been? I didn't even notice." Chen Changsheng asked.
"I went to the restroom. There is a public restroom over there. Do any of you want to go?" Wan Yi pointed to a remote public restroom behind him with his thumb.
However, everyone was still not very enthusiastic about his move to ease the atmosphere.
"Anyway, let's walk around and get familiar with each other first. I can also take you through some practical exercises. Maybe you will gain something on the first day." As a guide, Chen Changcai definitely does his best and takes great care of the emotions of the newcomers. .
"Wan Yi" fell at the end of the team, looked back at the building where the black smoke was rising, and followed them indifferently.
Actually... there is another way, which is more efficient in removing fragments than destroying time and space.
…
Wan Yi walked out from the other end of the alley and looked around. He happened to hear the roar of the engine and saw a handsome and expensive-looking motorcycle being ridden by a red motorcycle parked at the intersection. In front of the lamp.
He walked over directly: "Hello brother."
The rider raised his helmet mirror and asked, "What's going on?" His voice sounded very young, and he didn't seem to be dressed like an ordinary person.
"The car is nice, it should go very fast."
"Of course it's fast, but who are you? What are you going to do?" The rider suddenly became impatient.
"Just be quick, let me get out of the car."
Bang!
The smooth motorcycle passed through the vehicle in front of it at the red light, smashing several rearview mirrors along the way and speeding on the road.
"It's indeed very powerful." Wan Yi showed a smile under his helmet.
After turning a few corners, I soon saw the vehicles of the previous group of "terrorists".
The siren sounded, and several police cars followed closely behind, performing a tense and exciting car chase scene.
And Wan Yi's goal is the same as the police here.
This isn't the first time I've come to Boundary Spacetime, so of course I have to be brave enough to try it. So Wan Yizheng plans to boldly try and earn his first pot of gold using a method that everyone likes.
