The blue sky, the Arabian city made of stone bricks, and the broken minarets … All of a sudden, everything turned into a multicolored whirlpool. Like a kaleidoscope, the whirlpool shrank and receded rapidly before her eyes. Finally, the gray walls of the pipe reappeared.
There were more than one Veda. They formed a huge "pool" that glowed with a pale golden light, casting a soft golden glow over the pipe.
The dissipation of her right shoulder seemed to have accelerated the melting process of Lin Sanjiu. In the blink of an eye, the smoke had already engulfed the lower half of Lin Sanjiu's face. "Lin Sanjiu!" Soulsqn screamed in horror. Then, she could no longer hear anything. The last thing she saw was Puppeteer's shadow pouncing toward the Veda. The shadow flickered as it was corroded by the golden glow, and it looked like it was going to disappear at any moment.
Lin Sanjiu felt like she was falling into a bottomless abyss, and she lost consciousness.
Many years after the incident, she couldn't help but think back to the moment when she fell into the darkness like death. What was it like around her at that time? What happened?
Of course, she knew the answer. She just didn't know if the answer was real or not.
She felt like she had been floating on the bottom of the sea for a long time before she was lifted to the surface by the gentle waves. A familiar and soothing voice snapped her out of it. "Sis? Sis?"
Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes slowly. She felt like she had just woken up from a long dream. For a moment, she was still in a daze.
The first thing she saw was Ji Shanqing's face, which was always fair and beautiful. When their eyes met, Ji Shanqing's glistening eyes lit up with joy. "Sis, you're awake?"
"Where … Where am I?" Lin Sanjiu squeezed her eyes shut. She could feel her consciousness fading like a receiver with a bad signal. "What happened just now?"
"It's okay, sis." The grand prize moved closer to her. His long hair fluttered around her neck, and a gentle breeze brushed against her skin. He stretched out his cold hand and grabbed Lin Sanjiu's wrist. "I'm here."
"What happened?" she asked again, her thoughts gradually clearing up. Lin Sanjiu looked down and realized that she had regained her limbs. She raised her head and scanned her surroundings in a daze.
Although she could see everything clearly, she couldn't understand what she was seeing.
Who had ever seen a transparent space?
In the ordinary world, the air is naturally transparent, and so is glass and many other things. But when one's gaze passes through these transparent things, it will eventually fall on an opaque object — the earth, the trees, the buildings.
However, at this moment, the surrounding space was filled with some sort of colorless, transparent "ripples". His gaze pierced through the emptiness. There was not a single place to look, because every part of it was transparent.
The "waves" flowed past her in a dense manner, as if they were weightless, but at the same time, they seemed to be extremely dense and sticky. She was lifted by the current and floated in the air. She couldn't tell where she was at all.
She rubbed her eyes and realized that this time, even the highest god's "glasses" could not help her.
"What is this place?" Lin Sanjiu was a little anxious. "Where are Puppeteer and Soulsqn?"
Ji Shanqing let out a long sigh. He looked at her, and his eyes curved like a crescent moon. "Sis, you have been turned into a set of data in the Veda's database."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for half a second. She couldn't help looking at her body again. "Is this the database? But why … why am I still conscious? "
"I broke up my data and inserted it into your data. Then, I followed you in," Ji Shanqing explained in a gentle voice. "After I came in, my sister came in as well. What I did was very simple. I just reactivated your self-consciousness. "
"You broke it up?" Lin Sanjiu was shocked by his words. She didn't pay much attention to what he said after that. Instead, she looked at him from head to toe. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"What about Puppeteer and Soulsqn?"
Ji Shanqing paused for a moment. Then, his smile bloomed like a peach blossom. "I think they are still in the cords outside. Don't worry, sis. Once they are defeated, they will be sent here as well. By then, I only need to reactivate their self-consciousness. To be honest, it might be better this way. "
Lin Sanjiu nodded her head and felt a little more at ease. "That's true.
"Did you come in here to save me?" she asked as she looked around, even though it was pointless. "Why do you say it's better for them to come in?"
"Saving you is one of the reasons," Ji Shanqing said softly. "The other reason is that it will be more beneficial for us if I come in. Didn't I tell you that even though I'm already a Veda and possess their abilities, the information I have stored is too little, so there's not much I can do. Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. If they came in here, it means that the Veda isn't suspicious. "
Realization dawned on Lin Sanjiu. "You're planning to enter their database and steal their information!"
"Steal? That's not very nice to hear," the grand prize pouted. His little face looked like it was kissed by a flower. "Yes, I'm reading it."
"How … How do you read it?"
"Sister, just wait for me here." Ji Shanqing smiled at her, his cheeks bright red and snow-white.
Perhaps the Veda's way of doing things was beyond human comprehension. Since he did not explain, Lin Sanjiu did not ask any more questions. She watched as her grand prize floated a few steps away from her and stretched out his hands in the middle of the current. It seemed like nothing out of the ordinary. After a while, she subconsciously touched her forehead and realized that her eyebrows were furrowed.
Ever since she entered the Data Stream Library, everything she had seen and heard was in a realm that she could not understand. Furthermore, things kept happening one after another. She did not even have the time to think. When she was overloaded, even her brain seemed to creak. She had a vague feeling that she still had a lot of questions, but she could not ask any of them.
It was a suffocating feeling.
Ji Shanqing placed his hands gently in the air, and from time to time, his hands would be pushed by the invisible waves. Lin Sanjiu stared at him for a while, half-confused and half-doubtful. She had no idea how much time had passed in this strange space. However, Puppeteer and Soulsqn did not show up even after such a long time. She could not help feeling a little worried.
Not daring to disturb the grand prize, she quietly turned around, picked a direction, and walked a few steps. Everything was transparent, so it made no difference whether she walked or not. If there was a slightly darker place, she could try activating her [Epiphany] … When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she turned her hand to the back of her head. Her fingers fell into her short hair without any resistance.
"Huh?"
She quickly touched her hair, but the back of her head was empty. She could not find anything.
'Did I lose it during the chaos just now? '
"Mrs. Manas," she called out, "Where's my [Epiphany]?"
Mrs. Manas replied quickly, "After you lost consciousness, I fell into a deep sleep too. I don't know where it went."
'You probably lost it when you were fighting the Veda …? ' With this thought in mind, Lin Sanjiu looked around the space again.
Puppeteer and Soulsqn still did not show up.
The more time passed, the more anxious she became. Logically speaking, a person who had been analyzed and a flesh worm whose combat ability had been seen through should not be able to hold on for long. It was not a good sign that they had not shown up. Lin Sanjiu waited patiently for a while. Finally, she could not take it anymore and walked toward her grand prize.
"Sister," he called at once, without turning his eyes. "What's wrong?"
"How long does it take to read them?"
"The amount of information they have is almost endless. I won't be able to finish reading them in a lifetime." Ji Shanqing stared unblinkingly at his hands as if the most complicated things in the world were flowing through them. "I'm trying to find the information that can help us find the Veda's weakness as soon as possible."
"I'm worried that Puppeteer and the others might not be able to hold on."
"Sis," the grand prize suddenly laughed without turning his head. His voice was clear and crisp. "You're too anxious. It has only been 1.7 seconds since you woke up."
"1.7 seconds?" Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. She felt that at least ten minutes had passed.
"The speed of information exchange here is shockingly fast," Ji Shanqing explained in a light tone. Ji Shanqing explained in a light tone, "Perhaps this is what the legend 'A day in Heaven is equivalent to a thousand years on earth' refers to."
"What about now? How long has it been? "
"It's not even 1.71 seconds," Ji Shanqing said with a helpless and coquettish smile.
Lin Sanjiu scratched her short hair, feeling a little embarrassed.
"By the way, where's the highest god?" Perhaps it was because she thought of Puppeteer and Soulsqn, she asked with a frown, "What's going on between you and him? Did you use him? "
"Sis." Even though Ji Shanqing did not turn his head, Lin Sanjiu could see that he was pursing his lips again. "I asked him to be the vanguard. I asked him to write the paper cranes. I asked him to look for you, I asked him to get beaten up, and I even kept an eye on the Veda's movements in his body. How could I have done all of this without his consent? How could I convince him so that he would walk into this trap without any doubt? "
"So, you guys had an agreement from the start?" Lin Sanjiu's eyes lit up when she heard that. She did not like the highest god, but since they had decided to fight together, she could not bear to be stabbed in the back. "You didn't set him up?"
"Of course not. When we were in the white tower, he was controlled by the Veda. If it weren't for the connection between us, I wouldn't have been able to find his data, let alone trace back through his body. " The grand prize snorted. "He activated [Unattainable Love] to attack the Veda. This was part of our plan."
In other words, the grand prize and the highest god had been fishing. Lin Sanjiu thought about it carefully and realized that there was no better bait than the highest god.
