Slap! The moment the Void Cockroach pressed its head down, the Scholar's face came into close contact with the square crystal.
Before the Scholar could say anything, it felt a strange 'energy' surging from the crystal, and it began to … invade its control center.
When the Scholar came back to its senses, it found that the world around it had changed completely.
"What the hell is this …"
Before the Scholar's eyes was a green meadow, and above it was a light blue sky. A few white clouds were motionless in the sky … because it was painted there.
Of course, the blue sky was fake. The Scholar was in a room, and the roof was painted in the color of the blue sky. Although it looked good, it was not a real sky after all.
Under the Scholar's feet was a green meadow, but the grass was fake as well. It was quite hard to the touch.
There were many things of various shapes scattered on the meadow. Most of them were models, such as battleships or tanks.
"Is this my childhood …" Looking at these things, the Scholar felt that memories kept surging in its mind. A long time ago, this was a place it stayed on the Wanderer when it was young.
This place could be called a children's area. It was a room like this, with many toys for the children of the Voidfolk to play with. There was also a video database for them to learn from.
However, the Scholar did not see any video equipment here, only a floor full of toys. Other than the lack of video equipment, the scene here was almost exactly the same as when it was young.
Of course, there were no companions of its childhood. The Scholar still remembered that when it was young, its companions would gather together and play together. However, when they grew up, they separated and did not contact each other. Later on, when they saw each other, it was as if they were strangers, and they would not even greet each other.
Why did it recall so many things from the past? And what was going on with this scene?
The only possibility the Scholar thought of was that the crystal had triggered its past memories or something … Thinking about it, the Scholar looked at the … exit.
Walking to the side of the exit, the Scholar reached out and opened the door. It found that outside was … a place it was familiar with.
That was the corridor of the Wanderer.
However, the Scholar remembered that the room was not connected to the corridor. Now that it opened the door, it saw the corridor, and there was no one in the corridor. The whole place was empty, and all the doors were tightly shut.
"What is going on here … Did I enter a … dream space related to my memories?"
Slap! Just as the Scholar was about to ask the question, a flash of light appeared in front of her eyes. A Void Cockroach appeared in front of her and landed on the ground.
"You …" The Scholar looked at the Void in surprise. "How did you get in? Is it the same as me? "
"…" The Void Cockroach glanced at the Scholar before running off in a certain direction.
"Wait, don't run!" The Scholar immediately followed the Void Cockroach. They ran quickly in the corridor of the Wanderer. After running for about 100 meters, the Void Cockroach stopped in front of a room.
"This is … the captain's room?" The Scholar looked at the door and the label 'Captain's Room'. "But the captain's room is not from this position …"
"Open it."
"What?" The Scholar suddenly heard a voice, but he did not know where it came from.
"Open it."
After the voice repeated itself, the Scholar realized that it was the voice of the Void Cockroach. The Void Cockroach didn't use its voice. It seemed to be communicating with the Scholar through its brain waves.
"Then … Open it and see." The Scholar reached out and opened the door to the captain's room.
"It's so bright …" The Scholar saw a strong light shining at her, but the light soon disappeared, and a vast world appeared in front of her.
"This … Have we returned to the crystal world?" The ground was a smooth crystal plain, but it was different from the empty plain from before. Countless objects of different shapes stood on the plain.
The sky was no longer pink. In fact, it didn't look like the sky at all. It looked like another … ground.
Looking up, one could also see a crystalline plain, and there were countless objects on it that were similar to this place.
Simply put, it was like a mirror.
"This is really strange …" The Scholar looked at the sky and said, "Why do I see such a strange dream space when I touch the crystal? You should know the reason, right? "
The Scholar spoke to the Void Cockroach, but the Void Cockroach did not respond this time. Instead, it raised its forelimbs and pointed at a certain place.
The Scholar looked at the place where the Void Cockroach was pointing at a cylinder. The cylinder was more than 10 meters tall, but it seemed to be broken in the middle. There were many sawtooth marks on it.
There were some crystal creatures around the cylinder.
"These creatures are …"
The Scholar noticed that these crystallized creatures were all creatures from the crystal city, and they included all kinds of species. They were much smaller than in reality, only about half a meter tall. Although there were many of them gathered together, the Scholar could see each of them clearly.
"They are here too?" the Scholar said. "But … What does this mean?"
The Void Cockroach did not speak. It ran toward the cylinder, and the Scholar followed. They ran to the side of the cylinder together.
The Void Cockroach pointed at the cylinder surrounded by the crystal creatures. The Scholar also noticed that the cylinder was … getting shorter.
It was 10 meters tall before, but when they ran over, it became 9 meters tall. It was still getting shorter.
"Kill them, and it will get shorter." The Scholar received the Void Cockroach's "voice" again.
"Kill …" The Scholar was shocked. "You mean, if you kill these creatures in the real world, the cylinder in this dream space will get shorter?"
"Correct," the Void Cockroach replied.
"So, this pillar represents their number …" The Scholar studied the pillar for a moment before turning to look around. "If that's the case … these things around us …"
There were many similar things around the Scholar and the Void Cockroach. They were not necessarily pillars, but they were all similar large objects surrounded by a group of smaller creatures less than half a meter tall.
