The cold raindrops fell on the two of them, along their faces and clothes, as well as the pitch-black lightning spear. Water splashed everywhere, and the surrounding time seemed to freeze.
There was a hint of surprise in the veiled woman's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She gently stretched out her left hand and lifted the veil, revealing an old face that Chu Yunsheng didn't expect at all. Where was the peerless beauty that a vixen should have? Her skin was dry and wrinkled, as if her wrinkles were stacked together. She looked more like an old woman with one foot in the grave.
"Are you surprised? This is the price of using the forbidden technique. "She didn't seem to panic at all when the spear was pressed against her throat. She spoke in a soft tone.
Chu Yunsheng was indeed a little surprised. This was different from all the versions he had heard about this woman. But he was only surprised, the essence of the matter had not changed.
He shook the spear and said coldly, "who are you?"
The veiled woman smiled and looked at Chu Yunsheng, "since you can understand what I am singing, does it matter who I am? Actually, what you want to know is not who I am, but who you are? Am I right? "
Chu Yunsheng was shocked, but he still said angrily, "bullshit! Tell me who you are! Otherwise, you won't live more than ten seconds! "
But he didn't expect that the veiled woman was not afraid. Instead, she pressed her throat against the spear and sneered, "is that so? Killing your own kind, is that very powerful? "
Chu Yunsheng didn't hesitate to slightly pierce the spear into her skin. Blood started to flow out of the spear, and he said coldly, "I am not your own kind! If you don't tell me, then die! "
The veiled woman suddenly took a step back and moved away from the spear. She frowned and said, "so you still don't know anything? But how can you understand what I am saying? Don't tell me — "
She didn't continue, but kept looking at Chu Yunsheng, as if she didn't want to say anything.
Chu Yunsheng's face instantly became cold. He was never a person who liked to kill indiscriminately, but he really hated aliens from the bottom of his heart.
"Why don't I tell you how the darkness came!" The veiled woman didn't move, but her eyes were flashing with a strange light.
The lightning spear stopped abruptly.
"Say it!" Chu Yunsheng pulled back the spear and put it behind his back. The rainwater flowed along the spear's body and dripped onto the ground.
As for how the darkness came, the senior practitioner in the ancient book had a narrative explanation. In that book, the senior practitioner called it "Tian Gui Shun". But not to mention that he could not understand the rules and diagrams that he listed, even these explanations were just narratives. It seemed like the senior practitioner did not want to waste time on this kind of thing.
In his heart, how did the darkness happen? Why did the apocalypse come? He was not as interested in these mysterious things as before. Since the darkness came, many strange things had happened one after another, which made him gradually understand some things. Since Tian Gui Shun was sealed, there must be a "person" who sealed it, and there must be a "reason" for it. Especially when he "passed by" the bottom of the spaceship graveyard, and Yan Min's millions of years of hatred, it made him feel that there was a huge historical figure hidden in the endless river of time.
However, these things had nothing to do with the senior in the ancient book. According to the ancient book, when the senior first came to Earth, he was in a very urgent situation and passed away very quickly. He didn't have enough time to investigate who sealed Tian Gui. Moreover, he didn't seem to have any interest in investigating. Not to mention Tian Gui, even those overlords and super civilizations weren't worth much in his eyes. He just skimmed over them.
He was only shocked by the monolith, and he even had a wonderful "communication" with the monolith. The only difference was that what Chu Yunsheng saw was the traces of his ancestors, while the senior practitioner "saw" a "legend" that was so far away that it could only be found in some remote and very old worshiping murals on some very old dead stars.
When the senior practitioner first started to write the ancient book, his purpose was just to let the local primitive tribes take care of him during his last period of time. But in fact, what he revealed between the lines was that he did not want to interfere with the sealing of Tian Gui Shun and so on. But after discovering the monolith, he immediately raised the level of the book to the point where he hoped that the inheritor would pay great attention to this legend, and help him find his own people, and then find the monolith, and then beware of the existence of the extraterrestrial demons!
And as the inheritor of the senior practitioner's ancient book, Chu Yunsheng had always followed the senior practitioner's train of thought. He thought that his system had nothing to do with the sealing of Tian Gui Shun. The senior practitioner could be said to be an outsider, and he was just the inheritor of this outsider. He belonged to a person who should not have appeared in the first place, and had nothing to do with this huge historical figure.
But he did not know whether the senior practitioner did not consider it or deliberately neglected it. It was true that he was an outsider, but his inheritor of the ancient book, the current Chu Yunsheng, was not an outsider! He was a human who was born and raised on the earth.
So when Chu Yunsheng heard the sad song and voice that only he could hear in the spaceship graveyard, he was actually very flustered, because he always felt that those huge historical figures had nothing to do with him. He was just a marginal person holding the relics of an outsider.
What scared him even more was that he was afraid that he would be proved to be an alien race, and as the divine realm said, his body contained the life source of other races.
Just like children would worry about whether they were born by their parents or not, Chu Yunsheng was very concerned that he was a "human", and not some other monster, who was also born by his parents! Even when he was an insect, he always wanted to return to a human body.
Therefore, the sad song of the veiled woman greatly stimulated Chu Yunsheng's sensitive area. The only difference was that he wanted to take the initiative now. He wanted to either force her to tell him something and figure out what was going on, or kill her immediately if she refused to tell him. In his mind, all aliens were not good things!
In fact, he was more willing to believe that the reason why he could hear those things, but did not know anything like what the veiled woman said, was because he practiced the system of the senior practitioner's ancient book, and not because there were any life source fragments in his body. At least, there had never been any strange things in his head. Everything was still him. Although there was nothing that shined too brightly in his life, that was his own memory and life. For him, that was one of the most precious things.
He would not allow himself to be taken away like the Heaven's Messenger from the divine realm. He would not allow himself to be taken away, nor would he have any memories that did not belong to him. He was himself, he was unique in this world, he could not be replaced, and he would not allow anything to be added into his body.
"You don't need to be so nervous." The veiled woman saw Chu Yunsheng's tense face, so she said lightly, "even if you can hear the song, but you can't remember anything, then you are just an ordinary combatant."
"The song?" In Chu Yunsheng's mind, the sad song that was full of sorrow and remorse that even made him cry involuntarily appeared. His lips moved slightly.
"Yes, it is called the song, the song that laments the sky!" The veiled woman nodded her head, and her face was gloomy. After a while, she suddenly said, "have you heard of Mobius circle?"
Chu Yunsheng shook his head, he did not know what she was talking about.
The veiled woman smiled and folded the veil she took off into a long belt in the rain. Then she spun it 180 degrees, and then glued it together with the other part. "This is a Mobius circle, it only has one side. No matter where you start from, when you return to the starting point, there is only one side, and it is completely closed."
"What are you trying to say?" Chu Yunsheng shook his head in confusion. He did not know what she was trying to do.
The veiled woman ignored him and continued, "you can use your imagination to understand this plane as a wide two-dimensional space. Then, you will find that I just spun it a little bit, and it was completely closed."
Chu Yunsheng still did not understand what she was talking about, but this time he did not say anything. He just stared at her, trying to figure out what she wanted to say.
"Mobius circle is a geometric problem discovered by human beings in the 19th century. The reason why I used it is because it is easier for you to understand what is going to happen later. Although this metaphor is too simple and even childish, it is the only way to make you understand it." The veiled woman let go of the long belt and curled it into a tube shape. While twisting and turning, she seemed to be explaining.
Chu Yunsheng knew that what she meant was that his IQ was not high enough, so he could only understand some simple things. But he did not care, because he never thought that he was very smart.
The veiled woman raised her head and looked at Chu Yunsheng. She seemed to be very satisfied with Chu Yunsheng's "humble" attitude. She continued, "if you look at time as an axis, not a dimension, then let's not talk about this axis first, and don't care whether it will shorten or lengthen because of the movement of space. Let's just talk about the problem of space. As you have seen just now, in the three-dimensional space, we can use one more dimension than the two-dimensional space. Through a method and technology similar to the Mobius circle, but in fact, it is tens of thousands of times more complicated than it. We can form a two-dimensional space, and then completely close it. There will be no exit, and we will never be able to find the third dimension."
Chu Yunsheng was not too stupid. He quickly found a contradiction and said, "but what you have closed is a circle, not a flat plane."
The veiled woman continued to play with her slightly more complicated model and said, "yes, but that is only because you are standing from the perspective of the three-dimensional space. In fact, if you are a creature living in this closed two-dimensional space, you will never know that this is a circle. You will only think that this is a flat plane, the world you live in.
However, it was precisely because it existed in the three-dimensional space that it was, in fact, a closed circle. Therefore, after the creatures that lived in this enclosed two-dimensional space had fully explored and understood their world, some intelligent creatures would have ideas that they could not imagine or understand. They would feel that there should at least be another dimension that could support and ensure the existence and stability of their two-dimensional world.
This dimension is the third dimension, but they have never seen the third dimension, so they will never know what the third dimension looks like. They can only rely on their guesses. "
