"If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten … It has been so long since we last talked."
Looking at "himself" standing in front of him, Lu Zhou opened his mouth and continued with a helpless expression, "Actually, I wanted to say last time, can you change your skin to meet me? It feels weird talking to myself … "
"Unfortunately, our aesthetic imagination is too lacking, and we don't have a form that can be directly observed by three-dimensional creatures, so we can only communicate face-to-face with you in this way … Of course, I can also find the most memorable image from your memory as a replacement —"
"No need." Looking at the gradually distorted light and shadow, Lu Zhou said quickly, "Let's just do this, I suddenly feel quite good again."
The feeling of having his thoughts read was not comfortable.
And I always feel like this guy will become strange.
"Really? The minds of you humans are really hard to understand. "
Looking at The Observer who was looking at him curiously, Lu Zhou coughed lightly and spoke.
"Let's put aside the unimportant things for now. It must not be an easy thing for you to come to see me."
"Of course." The Observer nodded slightly and continued standing in front of Lu Zhou, "It is not a risk-free thing to make your own voice in the Void. We need not only energy to convey our understanding of the truth to this world, but also the treasures we brought from the old universe to the Void … These two are non-renewable resources for us in the Void."
Lu Zhou: "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." The Observer smiled faintly and continued, "To a large extent, helping you is also helping ourselves."
Having said that, it paused for a moment and put its hand into its arms.
When it pulled its hand out of its arms, Lu Zhou noticed that there was a bright silver light in its hand.
The slowly rhythmic outline was like a burning fireball. Surprisingly, the fireball-like light was not dazzling. It even gave people a soft feeling. Even if he were to stare directly at it, he wouldn't feel the slightest discomfort.
Attracted by the silver light, Lu Zhou stared at it for a while, but he couldn't figure it out.
Finally, unable to restrain the confusion in his heart, he spoke in a low voice.
"This is …"
"It has a poetic name from a poet of the old universe." The Observer smiled faintly and said softly, "In your language, it is the Heart of the Galaxy."
The Heart of the Galaxy?
Upon hearing this name, Lu Zhou was taken aback. He stared at the silvery-white sphere with a confused and complicated expression.
"The Heart of the Milky Way … what is that?"
The Observer: "As the name implies, it is the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, born at the beginning of the universe. It has no fixed form, drifting between energy and matter, independent of time and space. "
"Drifting between energy and matter, independent of time and space?" With strong curiosity flashing in his eyes, Lu Zhou looked at the silver light in The Observer's hand. He continued to ask, "I have never heard of such a strange substance … How did you name it, or this state?"
The Observer: "How we named it has no meaning for you. The key is how you name it and study it."
Lu Zhou moved his gaze up two inches and looked at the face that was almost carved from the same mold as his own. He spoke.
"So you plan to let me study this thing?"
"Yes."
The Observer nodded slightly. He stretched out his right hand and gently placed the silver light in Lu Zhou's hand.
"For more than billions of years, we have learned all the secrets about it. However, our intuition about science tells us that there are still things we don't understand … or things we miss because of negligence.
"Therefore, we search for civilizations with a bright future in the universe and select suitable talents from among them to complete the tasks that require creativity and that we are not good at."
"I don't understand." Lu Zhou looked at the Heart of the Milky Way in his hand and said in a puzzled tone, "But why me? I don't think there is anything special about me. "
"Maybe in your opinion, but the way we think about problems may be a little different from you." The Observer smiled faintly and continued, "Although there may be some twists and turns in the process, at least so far, everything is running on the track we expect … Although the future we can predict is only here."
Having said that, he paused for a moment and continued.
"We have given you all the help we can provide. As for how to go in the future, it is all up to you."
"Goodbye, my friend. Although I have only met you twice, as I said before, I quite like you."
"Wait a minute! What exactly is the future era?? " Seeing that The Observer seemed to be planning to leave, Lu Zhou asked quickly, "On the page of the system instructions, it is written that as long as all levels are maxed out, the option of the future era can be unlocked …"
"Future era?"
The Observer smiled lightly and said a philosophical sentence in a humorous tone, "Haven't you already seen it?"
Hearing these words, Lu Zhou was stunned.
Although there was nothing wrong with what he said, and that was what he thought before, he never thought that the so-called "reward for unlocking the future era" was really just … a decoration?
When he upgraded all levels to level 10, he naturally walked into the future.
Looking at the dumbfounded expression on his face, the Observer, whose voice and outline gradually faded, smiled softly and continued in a gentle tone.
"The future created with your own hands, don't you think there is no more precious treasure in this world than this? Besides, I even gave you the Heart of the Milky Way, what else are you dissatisfied with? "
Lu Zhou: "The reason why you gave it to me is because you want to use me to unlock its secrets, right?"
The Observer nodded and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I don't deny this, but it's not out of selfish considerations. Remember, your research results may be related to the fate of the entire universe. As a creature in this universe, since you have the ability to do something, I still hope that you can shoulder the responsibility that belongs to you. "
As he spoke, the figure standing in front of Lu Zhou began to become erratic.
It was like a flickering candle flame that could be extinguished at any time.
"Before you disappear, can I ask you a question?" Lu Zhou stared at the gradually dissipating light particles and the gradually fading outline. He quickly asked, "What is the natural disaster … Can you tell me now?"
Intuition told Lu Zhou that after this face-to-face conversation, it would be a long time before he could see this guy again.
This might even be the last time he saw him.
The Observer's eyebrows raised slightly, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"Natural disaster? Although I think it's better to tell you later … "
"You should tell me now." Lu Zhou said quickly, "If even you think it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until that day."
"That's true, then please remember, for the sake of this universe, please keep your mouth shut about everything about it."
"I promise."
Looking at Lu Zhou, who made a serious promise, The Observer smiled lightly and walked in front of him.
The outline formed by the convergence of thousands of light particles had begun to gradually blur, like broken soap bubbles, disappearing in the wind one after another.
It leaned close to Lu Zhou's ear, moved its lips slightly, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"The natural disaster is …"
Lu Zhou's pupils dilated slightly, then slowly contracted a little. He was silent for a while, looked at the disappearing bubble, and nodded gently.
"I understand."
