Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 245
[Chapter 245 The corner of the veil]
Duncan approached the door, and checked its status again worriedly.
This “subspace door” was really closed – I was indeed on the opposite side of the door before, and that easy pass did completely seal this door that was difficult to shake in the real dimension.
He exhaled lightly, and looked up at the top of the door.
The mysterious and ancient text is still clearly printed on the door frame: “This door leads to the Lost Home.
” Sailing in the subspace, the Lost Homeland, which seemed to have been deserted and decayed for many years, suddenly had a little understanding of the words on the door frame.
The words on this door are true, and the opposite door really leads to the Lost Home, another Ship Lost—the distorted projection of the Lost Home in the real dimension in the warp.
Duncan grabbed the lantern, turned and left the lower deck, and returned to the captain’s cabin through the light and shadow reversed cargo hold and superstructure without stopping.
“Ah! Captain, you’re back!” Goat’s head was still here in a daze, and the first thing he did when he saw Duncan came back was to mutter, “Why did you leave suddenly, just now you said you went to the subspace? Just kidding! You…”
“I closed the ‘Gate of Subspace’ at the bottom of the boat,” Duncan said casually as he put the lantern away, “Just now I went down and checked from ‘this’.” Goat’s head said
immediately Being choked, there was another “crack” sound between his head and the table.
Duncan couldn’t help but glanced at it: “Take it easy, don’t fall into the same trouble as Alice.”
The goat’s head didn’t care about the teasing in the captain’s tone, and it didn’t hide its surprise at all: “You close that door Already!? You mean, you… closed the door from the subspace?” “
Otherwise?” Duncan asked back, “Isn’t that door closed from ‘this side’? Or can I Take this effort?”
“You…you because of this?” Goat’s head was a little incoherent at this time, “You entered the subspace and returned to the real dimension, just to close the door from the opposite side? Then…that is not a warehouse or a utility room The ordinary wooden door, you just… closed it?!”
Duncan became happy.
He just looked at the goat’s head happily, watching this guy who can make people’s brains boil with his usual chatter, but fell into an incoherent situation, watching this guy standing there as if he had turned on the vibration mode.” “Crackling, crackling” kept shaking, the expression on his face was still calm, and his heart was almost dying of joy.
Duncan knew that he hadn’t explained the matter clearly, which caused some misunderstandings to the goat’s head-but he mainly wanted to see how this guy turned his tongue, this is the joy of the number one fun person in the boundless sea.
In addition to being happy, the feeling of depression brought about by exploring the “Broken Lost Home” and that dark space has also weakened a lot.
But Duncan finally spoke up. After all, it is related to the subspace. Some things can be avoided in the future when they are explained clearly. Moreover, the goat’s head knows a lot of secret knowledge, and its knowledge may be of some help: “I know you are in a hurry. But don’t worry, listen to me—I did close that door, but this time entering the warp space was an accident, and I just need to hear your opinion.” “Accident?” Goat
Head He was taken aback for a moment, and his tone changed from the previous astonishment to extremely seriousness in an instant, “Please tell me, what’s going on?” Duncan
told the story that he entered the subspace as soon as he opened his eyes after a light sleep. Goat’s head—of course, he concealed the details of the exploration in that dark space, and focused on the door at the bottom of the ship and the various scenes he saw when looking at the chaos from the deck.
After all, besides his “real name” and “origin”, he doesn’t have much to hide from the goat’s head now, and the concealment of his real name and origin is not because of the importance of this secret— —Purely because the stability of the Lost Home must be built on the “anchor” of “Captain Duncan”.
The goat’s head listened to Duncan’s story very carefully without saying a word.
Then it said that it didn’t know what was going on…
“According to your description, that is indeed a subspace,” the goat head said frankly, “but I have never heard of such a situation, you directly… …’entered’ there, and came back safe and sound…Be aware that while the threat of the Warp to the Real Dimension is serious, that doesn’t mean it’s an easy ‘to’ place, it’s even more dangerous Many places are reflected in the fact that its pollution is hard to guard against.
“Loopholes in the mind, shaky beliefs, and wrong sacrifices, all of which may lead to the infiltration of subspace power, but ‘infiltration’ and going in like you…’exploration’ is completely different concept. “
Speaking of this, it paused for a moment, then turned its head, staring directly at Duncan with empty and dark eyes: “Captain, you really haven’t been affected by anything over there?” You really… don’t feel like there’s something left in your head? “
“No,” Duncan spread his hands with a calm face, “do you think I look delirious?” I am very normal. “
Goat’s head was speechless all of a sudden.
Duncan said thoughtfully: “Usually I see you worry about the Lost Land falling into the subspace again, I thought it would be easy to fall in…” “
This… …is a relative concept,” Goat Head explained with a little embarrassment, “falling down from the dimension of reality is very dangerous, but even if it is the Lost Homelander, it doesn’t just ‘fall’ down casually, ‘falling down is very dangerous ‘ and ‘it’s easy to fall’ are not the same concepts, and…how can I explain it to you? Generally, the victims who unfortunately fall into the subspace…their process and feelings of entering the subspace are completely different from yours Yes, this is an extremely painful and terrifying process, and it is often difficult to simply end with death…”
Duncan thought about it carefully after listening, and shook his head: “I really didn’t feel it…”
Goat’s head held back for a long time, and sighed He took a deep breath.
Duncan was even a little shocked—for the first time in history, this talkative guy just sighed without saying anything!
Duncan pondered for a while, with a serious face: “…Should I be more serious? “
Goat’s head: “…You are worthy of the name of the mobile natural disaster on the boundless sea…”
It’s all good reading, without any emotion, and it’s like muscle memory to say a sentence.
“Then let’s not discuss this issue,” Duncan waved his hand upon seeing this, and directly changed the subject, “What are those huge shadows I saw in the subspace? Those broken lands, wreckage, and that pale Cyclops… what are they?”
Goat’s head fell silent suddenly, and after nearly half a minute, it slowly opened its mouth: “…As you can see, it’s just a wreck.” “
Just a wreck?” Duncan wrinkled Eyebrow, “This is not really an answer, what’s the wreckage? Where did the wreckage come from? When did the wreckage come from? These…” “The wreckage
of the world,” said the goat head, “all those who didn’t live to this day are in the The ancient past has become a distorted shadow in the warp.”
Duncan was startled for a moment, and then repeated in a deep voice: “The wreckage of the world?”
The goat’s head fell silent again, as if hesitating and weighing something, but in the end, it still Slightly raised his head: “Do you think the boundless sea is vast? Do you think… our current real world is still spacious?”
Duncan blinked, and then suddenly realized: “You mean, everything in the current reality dimension “…
” “…Yes, what’s left after the drop,” the goat’s head said softly, “a little residue, with a few tenacious colonies left on it.” Duncan was stunned, and suddenly thought of something
: “This Is it the truth of the Great Annihilation?”
“It’s just a trivial part of it,” Goat’s Head said in a low voice, “The complete truth of the Great Annihilation has been buried in the long river of time, and it is meaningless to piece together its whole picture.
“Using your words, there is a ‘horizon limit’, and all information is on the other side of the unknowable and unobservable, unless there is some truly omniscient and omnipotent great being, who can instantly understand everything from the subspace to the deep sea to the spirit world and reality all the secrets of the dimension, and push them back 10,000 years, to know what happened during the Great Annihilation—but even so, what’s the point? “I know what else
you want to ask, but unfortunately, this That’s all I know, and I don’t guarantee that it’s all true – I do know some things about the Warp, but even the so-called ‘truth’ won’t necessarily be known after being affected by the Warp What kind of distortion is it, causal logic and time sequence are meaningless, and my fragmented knowledge… I don’t know how much of it is real memory, and how much of it is the process of leaving the subspace shadows left behind. “
