After the initial feeling of weightlessness surged through her body, it suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Lin Sanjiu did not feel the wind blowing against her face, nor did she feel the pain of landing on the ground. She had no idea what was going on. However, when she lost her footing and fell, it felt like a blink of an eye. When she regained her senses, she found herself floating down and landing on a chair.
Her heart, which had almost jumped out of her throat, slowly sank back into her stomach.
"What's going on?"
Lin Sanjiu looked around her. She had never been so confused before.
Ever since she flew into the white mist, she felt as if she had a messy and illogical dream. Lin Sanjiu had no idea where she had come from, and she had no idea why Soulsqn had suddenly disappeared. If the metallic hall and the human bodies on the floor were somewhat real, how could she have fallen into a wooden house after breaking through the wall?
When she thought of this, she couldn't help looking up. The wooden ceiling above her was still intact, and there wasn't even a single crack.
"That's weird. How did I get into this house?"
It was a low and narrow wooden room. It looked like a large flat box, and Lin Sanjiu was a cricket in this wooden box. The room wasn't big, and Lin Sanjiu could see everything in a glance. In the middle of the floor behind her, there was a staircase. It seemed to be an attic that led to another floor.
The walls, floor, tables, chairs, and even the staircase railings were all made of wood. Compared to the metallic hall, this place was so different that it was like two different worlds.
"Hello."
A voice suddenly pierced through the air without any warning, causing Lin Sanjiu to jump up. She almost knocked over the chair she was sitting on. She turned around abruptly and realized that there was a man standing at the top of the staircase that she had been studying just half a second ago.
"Who are you?" Lin Sanjiu took a step back cautiously. She quickly activated her hypersensory. What gave her the creeps was that she didn't notice that there was someone behind her.
If the man hadn't spoken, he could have walked up to her without making a sound.
The man suddenly raised his head. It was as if something had appeared in the air and caught his attention. However, there was nothing in the air.
His next sentence made Lin Sanjiu's heart skip a beat.
"This test method is very interesting, but I don't think it will be of much use."
With that, the man smiled at her, walked over to the wooden table, pulled out another chair, and sat down. When he was done, Lin Sanjiu's heart sank to the bottom of the abyss.
Her "hypersensory" didn't capture anything.
When the man swung his arms, the air around him remained as still and heavy as a pool of stagnant water. His every step did not produce the sound of his shoes hitting the wood, nor did it vibrate through the floor. Only when he pulled out the chair did he suddenly let out a short shuffling sound.
Creak. Lin Sanjiu did not feel the vibration from the chair.
"Sit down." The man sat at the other end of the table and smiled at her again. "Asking the guest to sit down should be your courtesy."
Biting her lip, Lin Sanjiu pulled the chair she was sitting on.
Immediately, there was a standard, short, and similar creak.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She stared at the chair next to her and then at the smiling face on the other side of the table.
… If she did not hear wrongly, these two noises seemed to be exactly the same.
But … What did it mean?
Lin Sanjiu couldn't figure it out, so she sat down slowly.
"When you said 'your courtesy' just now, do you mean you're not one of us?" She looked at the face on the other side and asked, "You're not a human? Or … are you a God? "
The man on the other side of the table had a very standard face. He could be considered a good-looking man. However, perhaps because his facial features were too standard, his appearance was almost unremarkable. Once she looked away, she would forget what his face looked like.
"Humans are a type of living creature, right?" The man shook his head. "No, according to this standard, I'm not a human."
"You're not a living creature?" Lin Sanjiu raised her eyebrows. There were so many doubts in her mind that they almost drowned her. Even she didn't expect that she would blurt out a series of questions. "Then, what are you? Are you a God? Why are you in human form? What's with the Salvation of God? Where am I? What do you want? "
The man looked at her quietly. He maintained his sitting posture and his smile. He didn't move an inch. After she finished, he spoke calmly, "You've asked a lot of questions."
Actually, Lin Sanjiu had more questions that she didn't have the time to ask, but she controlled herself and didn't say anything.
"It would take a lot of time to explain everything to you, and I don't see why it's necessary. But the first thing I can confirm for you is that the word 'God' is not a valid word here. "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
"The concept of 'God' only exists on the planet we're standing on." The man smiled, "Now that I've mentioned it, do you have some guesses about where you are now? No, you have indeed been pulled away from the planet and into our territory. To be honest, my kind and I are very surprised that you and that strange creature could survive until here. I thought you would die when you collided with the atmosphere. "
"Are you … Are you that brother?" Lin Sanjiu stood up abruptly when the thought surfaced in her mind.
"No." Unexpectedly, the man denied it immediately. "I know who you're talking about, but I'm not him. However, that doesn't stop me from knowing you because I've gotten all the information from him."
"I … I don't understand what's going on."
"I didn't expect you to understand. The other creature that came with you also had trouble understanding you. However, that thing has a bad temper. It tried to attack my colleague a few times when it couldn't figure out the situation. Hmm, in your language, it should be called colleague. You're much smarter than it. "
'It seems like Soulsqn has suffered a lot.'
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She didn't speak for a long time, but the man didn't seem to be in a hurry. Her mind was a mess. After some time, she finally managed to sort out the two most important questions. "What are you people? What do you want? If you only answer these two questions, it shouldn't take too long. "
From the moment the two of them sat down, the man didn't move. He didn't even blink. His smile seemed to be frozen in his muscles. Only his lips moved. "Let me answer your second question first. It's a shorter answer. To put it bluntly, we don't care whether you've discovered the secret of the Salvation of God or not. We just want your information. Everything about you and everything that you know. "
"My information?"
"Don't interrupt me," the man continued, "This is related to the first question. It's a little troublesome to answer the first question, so I'll give you two options. First, you can choose to give us full access. This way, you can get all the information in the most detailed, comprehensive, and clear-cut way. However, if you don't agree, we have no choice but to use this inefficient method to communicate with you. "
After he said that, he suddenly stood up. Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. She immediately put up her guard and gripped the [Battle Item] tightly in her hand.
The man raised his head slightly again and looked into the air. Looking at the empty spot in the air for a few seconds, he smiled and said, "The new thing that appeared this time seems to be different from the last time … Your body is still maintaining the same system operation as when you were on the surface of the planet … Very interesting. You see, this is the reason why we want to get all the information about you. "
"How, how do you know —"
"Which one do you choose?" The man ignored her surprise and smiled calmly.
Even though Lin Sanjiu was curious, she couldn't do as he said and "open up" herself completely. She looked at him suspiciously for a while and finally answered, "I choose the second one."
Even though the man wasn't surprised, he still let out a sigh of regret. Lin Sanjiu had to admit that even though he wasn't human, he was surprisingly human-like in some aspects. "Alright, I knew it."
"Let me give you a demonstration." The man walked to the staircase and smiled at Lin Sanjiu. "Come here and see what's down there."
Lin Sanjiu walked over.
The next floor had a wooden floor. It didn't look any different from this floor.
"What about now?"
As the man's voice trailed off, Lin Sanjiu's eyes widened involuntarily. She had no idea where the seawater came from, but in the blink of an eye, it had swallowed the entire building, turning it into a deep blue seabed. After a few seconds of careful observation, she could even vaguely see a few jellyfish floating in the seawater.
"Is this an illusion? Or a simulation? " Lin Sanjiu retracted her gaze. When she looked at the man, she couldn't help being shocked. The man's face was blurred as if he was submerged in the water. When his face became clear again, the man was no longer a "man". Instead, he was replaced by a woman with the same standard appearance.
Lin Sanjiu was seventy to eighty percent sure that she was dreaming.
"… It's not an illusion, nor is it a simulation." The new woman smiled at her. "We just have the technology to 'write'. This wooden house, my appearance, and the sea beneath our feet are all very basic and simple environments that we have written for you. However, in essence, you, me, and those jellyfish in the sea are all the same. "
Lin Sanjiu looked at the woman blankly. She didn't understand what the woman said.
The woman sighed.
"Trying to make you understand the technological concepts of a highly intelligent race is like asking you to explain quantum mechanics to a chimpanzee."
Lin Sanjiu could tell that the woman wasn't being sarcastic. She was genuinely facing such a difficult situation.
"The world that you call the Salvation of God isn't the first civilization we've seen. Even though it was already destroyed by the natives when we discovered it. However, just like all the civilizations we've seen before, the development of technology in the Salvation of God has also gone down the wrong path. "
The woman frowned and seemed to be explaining to Lin Sanjiu in the simplest and most understandable way. Perhaps it was too tiring to explain like this, but after every few sentences, she would sigh and say, "Your so-called physics, mathematics, and all the other sciences that have been developed on this basis, although they seem to make sense at the moment, and they seem to be able to explain some phenomena, when your low-level intelligence develops to a certain extent, they will all hit various bottlenecks at the same time. There are more things that cannot be explained than phenomena that can be explained … This is because you've gone down the wrong path from the very beginning. "
Lin Sanjiu wasn't a scientist, so she could only listen to the woman blankly.
"As a matter of fact, we discovered a long time ago that all matter in the universe can be understood in one way —" the woman suddenly uttered a long and strange syllable. Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. She continued, "There is no corresponding word in your human language, so it is very difficult for me to explain it to you. If you really want to tie it to something, I think we can use 'data' or 'information' to replace it. "
"Data?"
"You can understand it this way. Apart from the so-called physical characteristics, we can analyze all matter into this … data. When we understand what data is made up of and how it is made up of, we will naturally learn how to write code. So, adding a temporary wooden hut in the Data Stream Library and transforming the bottom of the hut into an ocean is just some coding work to us. "
"Data Stream Library?" Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She really felt like an uncivilized gorilla now.
"When you broke the wall, you fell into our real habitat, the Data Stream Library. Everything that enters this place will be automatically converted into a set of data … That's right, you don't have to look anymore. You are now a set of data. In my eyes, the ability that you used when you first met me is also a … Hmm, let's call it a script. "
No wonder her hypersensory couldn't hear the sound of turbulence. There was no turbulence at all!
"The sound of the chair —" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help blurting out.
"If there is no sound, then the things we write are too unreal … Although everything here is written in a hurry and is very simple."
The woman smiled at Lin Sanjiu, who was dumbfounded, "As a relatively mature and complex organism, your data content is not open to us. We can only see the surface of your operating system. For example, you have a program on your neck that can be triggered for five minutes, and you have a set of data in your hand that can automatically change the parameters of the settings … However, we can't see any more information just from the surface. I hope you can allow us to access your internal information. "
"So what if I don't agree?"
The woman smiled.
