The Star Knight - 125. Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Five

“I don’t understand at all.” Raymond said helplessly.

Opal gobbled up the dinner on the plate. He always felt that he was very hungry recently. He didn’t know whether it was because of the growth of the body or the good environment in the Kingdom of Light. It made people feel peaceful, eating more and sleeping well. .

Opal said: “So you are not a teacher, do you have any more? Some more baked noodles, thank you.”

Raymond thought for a while and said, “But there is one problem I have thought about, and I have thought about it more than once.”

Opal: “The second question?”

Raymond nodded, Opal knew that he couldn’t think of it. It was Raymond or Cololin’s problem, which must have troubled Raymond more than once in a period of time.

However, Opal never cared about theoretical things, he only relied on a purely intuitive judgment of Raymond’s soul.

“I think.” Raymond said: “My soul existed before I opened my eyes. At that time, I didn’t have any memories of Cololin, nor any special thoughts. My mind was completely blank. It’s like waking up from the dark and knowing nothing after waking up, it feels very strange…”

Opal can’t remember that he was still a baby, no, the state of the fetus, but Raymond knew it!

Raymond must remember it!

“How is it? Describe it.” Opal stopped eating and looked at Raymond.

Raymond said: “It’s all dark all around, I… feel very quiet, how to say, it’s weird, I…”

Opal said: “Aren’t you driven by the survival instinct at this time? For example, if you are thirsty, you want to drink, and if you are hungry, you want to eat…”

Raymond frowned slightly, seeming to be considering the wording.

“No.” Raymond said: “It is to feel your own existence first, not to perceive the outside world, a very dim consciousness, to know yourself first, and then wake up to feel the surrounding environment.”

Opal said: “Which time?”

“The first time.” Raymond said: “In the experimental field.”

Opal said: “You know the surrounding environment before you open your eyes?”

Raymond said: “No, I know I am a human, and I can’t say that I know I am a human, I know myself…”

Opal grabbed the center in an instant and said: “You are aware of your own existence.”

Raymond said: “Yes! That’s what I mean! Then I opened my eyes and the training chamber opened. I felt that when my first thought came into being, my soul was born at that time, which may be the case. Later I I often wonder, am I part of Cololin? I think so, because this idea was created out of nothing…”

Opal was a little confused and said: “When a fetus can realize its existence, does it have a soul? Later? The second time you come alive…”

Raymond said: “The second time I felt like this. I drove the mech to rush to Kolorin. It was dark in front of me. At that time, the surrounding area quickly became dark. I moved and the thought was that I was dead. It’s just a matter of a short moment, and then I open my eyes and I see you as a child and myself.”

Opal caught a sentence, he fell into a brief shock, and said: “What was that sentence you said before?”

Raymond said: “When I opened my eyes…”

Opal said: “No, it’s not this sentence! The previous…”

Raymond: “The second time I feel…”

Opal: “Before.”

Raymond said: “This idea suddenly came into being? I think it feels very strange, being created from nothingness…”

Opal said: “Yes, it was created out of nothing, consciousness.”

The two looked at each other for a long time. Opal thought of something vaguely, but he couldn’t say it clearly. He remembered a paragraph that Cololin said to him a long, long time ago.

At that time, they made a forced landing on an unknown planet. The virgin forest and the ancient lake reflected the moonlight. Kolorin returned to the castle holding the opal he was a child and told him that the universe was created out of nothingness. Gen believes that the forerunner who lit the fuse for the universe was the intelligent life that was bred in the universe-this is obviously not in line with causal inference.

There was chaos in his mind, as if he understood something through this question. The soul was born out of nothing. Even a sleeping fetus would know his existence. The moment he realized his existence, the survival instinct Will be inspired.

Is that right? Opal decided to answer like this when facing the pope, but what does this have to do with his father’s journey of exploration?

While he was still thinking, Raymond’s communicator rang.

Opal said: “Teacher?”

Opal didn’t care about it, got up and went back to the room with Raymond, and turned on the projector.

Reckett was wearing a baseball cap, half leaning against the front cover of a suspended vehicle, and said: “Opal, Raymond, how is your situation?”

Opal described the Pope once. Reckett hugged his arms, meditated for a moment, and said: “Let me talk about my situation first.”

Raymond held the opal, and the two sat on the bed, E7 projected Reckett’s holographic projection. Behind him was a very beautiful city. From here, Reckett seemed to be on the mountain road and could overlook the whole city.

“Justin and I took over and came here from the ring wind, the sub-stellar system.” Reckett said: “Justin came to test Alex’s meaning through the pastor and was instructed by the pope. And I, as a follower. Accompany him on the move. During the contact with Alex, I read some of his thoughts. Kartes is about to abdicate, and Alex is very hopeful of becoming the next imperial emperor. The Rotman family’s influence on the Holy See Having been jealous of rights for a long time, they decided to unite the queen of the empire, Inni, to give her full support to her youngest son, Alex.”

Sure enough, Reckett could get the most important news when he went out.

Raymond asked: “Where is Ledgerson?”

“This interest group involves a lot of people.” Reckett looked a little tired, and said: “The representatives of the Alex camp have a long string of them, and they have their own goals. Most of you don’t Knowing, I’ll make a long story short. Ledgerson is Alex’s mentor. He has considerable influence in the Holy See. After the end of the Dark Ages, he used his influence to cultivate many cronies, including being taken by the Academy five years ago. Lorraine implanted Bishop Kane, the head of the anti-hypnotic galaxy diocese.”

Opal: “No wonder! I know who the Pope is talking about!”

Raymond said: “I think of that guy. He and us competed with us for the fragments of the star map of the Eye of Ignat and fell from the air.”

Reckett shook his head and did not speak for a long time.

Opal has been millions of light years away, as if he could feel his disappointment with Ledgerson. He pondered over and over again, and he didn’t know how to tell Reckett, but Raymond said, “Where’s Baroque? I think he It shouldn’t be so messy.”

Reckett said: “Baroque has support from the entire Galactic Republic. They contacted him through the ambassador of the Republic, Kashtrian, and conducted observations. Tiergat fell and the new parliamentary Geng Wen formulated peaceful diplomacy. The new strategic goal of development is to negotiate with Cololin. They believe that after Baroque takes power, he will reduce his arms for a period of time. But Baroque lacks the support of the military, so Justin is his only reliance.”

Raymond said: “Is Justin sure to support him?”

Reckett said: “Yes, after talking with Alex, I think Justin will really support him, because Alex’s ideas are not in line with him, and Inni is the leader of the faction and unites with the Rotman family. , Intends to weaken the influence of the Holy See, and gradually expel the missionaries of the Holy See in the Lion Galaxy.”

Opal said: “Where is Cultus?”

Reckett said: “The attitude of the Lion King is very difficult to figure out. He not only allowed Justin to enter the army, gave him a position with real power and appeal, but also let Alex do what he did. No one knew he was there. What do you think. Sometimes no attitude is an attitude. I guess he also regards the Pope as his opponent. Both sides negotiate the conditions, place the chess pieces on the chessboard, and then wait for the right time to play the game. Let Alex represent himself, Let Baroque represent the Pope.”

Opal said: “This is so stupid… The pope also cares about him? I suspect he has some unknown arrangement and conspiracy.”

Recht said: “Don’t forget that Drummond still has a great influence in the empire. Even the adventurers have many followers of stars. If Kartes does not follow the rules, it is very likely that Drummond Will also resort to violent means, according to your description of him, he is likely to do so.”

“Yes, yes.” Opal agreed: “He is really a little nervous.”

Raymond laughed and said, “What about the pirates?”

Recht said: “It was the Rotman family that contributed to the alliance between the Stars and the Great Astronautics Association. This plan was proposed as early as when Azeroth was in power. Azeroth agreed to Rotman’s proposal at the time. In the next hundred years, it is planned to gradually merge the Liexing and the China Aerospace Association through a peaceful transition, and finally fully merge into the empire.”

Opal: “…”

Recht said: “But Korolin launched an aggression against the fierce stars, and Azeroth had to interrupt the negotiations and immediately return to China. I found out in the Association of Large Astronautics that Rotman had started the initiation six years ago. The Glory Project.”

Opal said: “Actually I think Azeroth is right. At least Lie Xing can…”

Reckett said: “It’s hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. The late Mercenary King has his own considerations. On the one hand, the mercenaries can be collectively washed ashore and no longer need to be lawbreakers in the universe. On the other hand, they are lost. According to his own position, the Liestar after being merged into the Aerospace Association must abide by the imperial law and will no longer retain its original characteristics. If Azeroth also has ambitions, I guess he might have thought about letting the Liestar annex Daerospace. Association, rather than simply handing over the kingdom of mercenaries to the empire.”

“I always thought that Sauron’s appearance was the instruction of Cororin, and now it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Cororin.” Reckett said: “Sauron interfered with the fiery star through the youngest son of a fallen pirate family. As for whether he colluded with Baroque, further investigation is needed. It’s your turn.”

Opal said: “We just arrived one afternoon, and the Pope assigned me three questions.”

He posed the question to Rekert, and only after a short period of consideration, he answered him.

Recht: “The Pope’s first question, Nolan has also raised it. The greenhouse represents a four-dimensional space, while the world outside the greenhouse represents a higher dimension. Nolan believes that this is one of the choices that natural populations must face in evolution. 1. Primitive life evolved into animals, animals evolved into intelligent animals, intelligent animals evolved into intelligent life, and after a long period of evolution, intelligent life began to find a new way out.”

“The current situation, and the situation after leaving the greenhouse, represents the life and death of human beings.” Reckett said: “The short-lived life is a confined area in the greenhouse, and the long death represents the borderless outside the greenhouse. Space.”

When Opal heard this question, the shock in his heart was indescribable.

Reckett said: “What is life? What is death? Nolan found the answer in their parallel universe. The death of human body is the process of the transition of the soul to a higher-dimensional world. After death, it will leave our universe. , Can’t come back, so you don’t know if the world of death is good or not, and you can’t get the situation of another world. You don’t even know whether that world exists. This is the worry of the monkeys.”

Opal said: “So the magic stars from the five-dimensional world… God, the information I saw mentioned the rupture of the ivory tower and the scientific research organization… after Nolan’s father… after the report? ”

Reckett said: “Perhaps the magic star brought the answer to this ultimate question. Nolan did not mention the detailed content to me because I didn’t understand it at that time. Of course, I still don’t quite understand it now.”

Raymond said: “This is ridiculous, meaning that if you want to explore the five-dimensional space, everyone has to commit suicide?”

Recht said: “Suicide is the only serious philosophical question, but I don’t think he meant it. The pope might tell you another answer. Apprentices, the teacher has limited time. I told Justin that I’m just going out. He is I don’t want to let him know that I’m in contact with the Pope too soon. Opal, you need to convey to the Pope a very important thing. The situation may not be completely under his control. I, as Natasha My friend, will provide her with some assistance when appropriate, but it is not necessarily on the side of the Pope. Regarding the differences in the relationship with Kolorin, we all need to rethink and position. We can only put it aside for the time being.”

“What about the second and third questions, teacher?” Opal realized that there would still be a chance to contact Reckett in the future, so he switched consciously.

“The second one is not clear to me. I haven’t touched on this aspect.” Reckett shook his head and said: “As for the third one, I think, perhaps the rule itself is the creator of all constraints? Justin?”

Justin’s voice came over there, his voice was very polite, saying: “Sir…”

Reckett cut off the communication.

Opal was lying on the bed, seeming to understand something, and he seemed to be even more confused.

Raymond said: “Have you figured out the first two questions?”

Opal said: “The Pope told me not to use the teacher’s answer. I don’t know how to answer him. Let’s sleep for a while. Maybe I will get up tomorrow and have new ideas.”

The Star of Light entered the night, and Raymond simply packed his things, and Opal didn’t go back. They simply lay on Raymond’s bed, and the two fell asleep with their arms around.

Opal was very sleepy the first day I came to the Holy See. I hadn’t slept well before, and soon fell asleep in a daze.

In the darkness, he felt Raymond touch his forehead, and when he opened it, he instantly found that he was slowly getting smaller!

At the age of twelve, he was a little bit at a loss, uncovered the quilt and got up.

“It’s been a long time, Opal.” Raymond’s voice sounded. When Opal raised his head, he saw that in the dormitory room of the Holy See, Raymond was holding his arms and sitting halfway at the desk.

“Teacher?” Opal recognized Colorin almost instantly, and now he found that there are many small details in Colorin that are exactly the same as Reckett, perhaps a habit that he has developed for thousands of years.

“The Pope sent someone to communicate with me.” Coralin said in the dark: “Are you here at the Carina?”

“Is this a dream?” Opal looked around, snapped his fingers, and the blue light of stars lit up in the room: “Well, I saw the Pope. Ask him to collect information about my father. What about you? Where are you? place?”

“I’m in the actress, tracking down Kelly’s whereabouts.” Corolin said: “Sauron is in a group with him. Sauron is the old lover of the mother of a prince of the Empire…”

Opal said: “Baroque?”

Cororin was a little surprised, then smiled and said, “Are you also investigating this matter?”

Opal nodded. He wanted to ask something, but he was distracted by one thing and said: “Sauron is very old…”

Cololin said: “Do you think he should have a genetic surgery? After all, not every old man is as attractive as a teacher.”

Opal laughed, and Collin said solemnly: “The Pope’s trouble is coming soon. Carters is planning to deal with him. Now I will give you a task. If something happens, I suggest you take away Drummond’s Valuable possessions, quickly run away, I will reclaim the collection of the Stellar Church from you at the auction price…”

“Oh teacher.” Opal said: “You are too inhumane. His apprentice is still in your hands.”

Cololin was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking. Opal suddenly remembered that in their dreams, their communication was completely free of heart. Both of them could read each other’s thinking, so they directly read Colorin’s consciousness.

In his mind, the kingdom of the arc of light became ruins and the ascension of the monks and soldiers led by the shepherd.

“Is it so serious?!” Opal said: “But the teacher’s inference is… he thinks Caltes will follow the rules, let Alex represent himself, and Baroque represent the Pope’s game, because Caltes does not Dare to challenge the authority of the Pope openly…”

“No.” Cololin shook his head and said: “If I were Carters, I wouldn’t do this. After all, he has been bullied by the Pope for too long. This is the only chance to turn himself over.”

Opal said: “But both are his sons, no matter who wins, the empire can continue.”

“No no.” Cololin said: “Teacher, he thought too simple, he underestimated the role of a person, this person is very important.”

“Who?” Opal said.

Cololin was silent, Opal read his mind, but the thought was fleeting and had passed.

Collins said: “Just think about it, what else did the psychiatric pope say to you?”

Opal laughed, and Collin said: “Now you got what you wished. Teacher Reckett and I are in a group. You have to explain the information clearly, otherwise I think Natasha may take a fork to the Empire to stab someone, she Very angry now.”

Opal said: “I haven’t asked the Pope about these things. He seems to be under surveillance and only asked me three questions.”

Cororin frowned and said, “Being watched? Impossible, who can watch him? His consciousness is not in his body at all. As long as he wants, no one in the Holy See can know what he is thinking.”

Opal said: “What?!”

Cololin seemed to be having a headache explaining the problem to Opal, and then directly pressed the palm of his hand on his forehead, transmitting the image of a person.

That is a girl holding a black cat.

Opal recognizes her, she is the prophet on the Crimson Star!

Cololin let go of his palm and said, “Drummond and the old witch exist in the same way. You can’t understand it now, you just need to remember.”

Opal nodded slowly, and Cololin said: “What are the three questions?”

Opal talked about those three questions.

Cololin was silent for a long time, and finally said: “The first question is Nolan’s answer, but I don’t agree with him. Teacher Reckett never questioned Nolan’s point of view, because he thinks Nolan is better than us. Higher creatures, and I think there is still some common factor between us and the magic star people. Do you remember the form of’common knowledge’ I mentioned to you in the source of floodlight?”

Opal: “Remember, in the entire civilized society, you can read my heart, and I can also know what you are thinking. There is no conspiracy, no frame, and no desire to conquer or power. I always feel that there is something in it. wrong.”

Coralin said: “Yes, there is no sensibility, only reason. Sensibility is born out of physical experience and the pursuit of pleasure, while rational civilization is the ultimate destination of the human spirit after being separated from the body, beyond the limits of the body, leaving the four-dimensional world, just like The magic star group pursues a new way of life. This is a trial, and the trial is near. The first trial was stopped by Nolan, and now Nolan is dead, and the Wheel of Time is missing. The Ivory Tower says that human beings have no future. Do you believe it, Opal?”

Opal said: “Wait… I don’t quite understand, what kind of way is it?”

Collins said: “The way of evolving from four-dimensional life to five-dimensional life, and then continuously shifting in dimensions, eventually…”

He stopped talking, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Opal asked: “What happened in the end?”

Coralin said: “No one knows, because there is no precedent. If it succeeds and replaces the existence of the highest dimension, then perhaps all dimensions will collapse and disintegrate layer by layer, creating a new world, or maybe everything will return to zero and disappear. , From “being” to “nothing” again, or perhaps opening up a new dimension, adding to the eleventh dimension…”

Cololin pressed Opal’s forehead with his palm again.

It was dark all around, and there was a spot of light in the distance, and in the next second, it circled in place, and the Opal saw the lines of white shining stars burst out, turned into countless faces, and then unfolded into a body. Countless individuals were created one after another, transforming into a magnificent and magnificent world.

“After the four-dimensional life forms have evolved to the five-dimensional.” Cololin said: “They will exist in all parallel universes at the same time, and each soul will dominate the projection of the body in all worlds. But they failed, which proves this. Nowhere, the Pope is the second person to get the news. This is my answer to the first question.”

“Why failed?” Opal said: “Is this your belief? Trial, what does it mean?”

Cololin thought for a while, looked at him seriously, and said: “These popes will tell you, but now Opal, I also want to ask you a question. If you don’t understand, you might as well ask the pope. See how he answers.”

Opal nodded, and Cololin said: “Assuming there is a’you’ in total darkness, you can’t reach the outside world, you have no five senses, invisible, invisible, invisible, intangible… There is even no’environment’ and The concept of’world’, can you realize your own existence at this time?”

Opal thought for a while and said: “Yes, maybe. Because my memory of the past is still there.”

Cololin said: “What if you are just a fetus? The memory of your past experience has not yet formed in your mind. A lonely brain that has grown enough to think. There is a blank in the brain and no memory has been added. Exist in the endless void, can you realize the existence of’I’?”

Opal thought for a long, long time, and said: “Yes, I think it can.”

Cololin said: “What if there is no brain?”

Opal said: “This is too hard to imagine, teacher, I have never experienced it…”

Cololin said: “This is my answer to the second question. For the third question, Raymond has already answered you.”

Opal said: “What?”

Cololin said: “The world is a soul, a consciousness, it is created from nothing. You can think of the world including all dimensions as a consciousness that is completely different from our human form. The wisdom of life is ascending. The process is a journey of approaching this great consciousness infinitely. Assuming that our world is a greenhouse where monkeys live, then this greenhouse may only occupy 4/11 of the world. Intelligent life is constantly evolving, and the purpose is to strive to integrate ourselves into the complete world. , Or to make oneself a complete world.”

Opal said: “I… don’t quite understand, what will become of it after evolution?”

Cololin said: “For example, I exist in the four-dimensional world. If you decompose the four-dimensional universe, then you will find me in every moment of the three-dimensional universe. I also exist in the three-dimensional world of yesterday and the three-dimensional world of the day before yesterday. , The three-dimensional universe of the day before yesterday……”

“When you rotate and decompose these three-dimensional worlds into plane slices that span the entire universe according to an axis that passes through my body, you will find that there is a part of me in each slice…Similarly, when you are in my Set a circle center in the center of the slice and decompose this plane into countless radius lines. You will also find that there is a part of me in each line-I will be everywhere after the dimensionality reduction step by step. But this is only limited to four-dimensional, three-dimensional , Two-dimensional, arrange the world in descending order of lines.”

“And we don’t exist in the fifth dimension, only the creatures that exist in the five-dimensional world – let’s just say that if there are creatures, such creatures will exist in every dimension below the fifth dimension. Reason, the existence of six dimensions is also inclusive layer by layer-up to the highest dimension, it is the root of the world. The existence and designer of all rules.”

“The original consciousness is everywhere, and all dimensions of the world have its projections. As the ancient philosophers said, gods exist in every place, and we can only exist in the fourth dimension. Intelligent life must be integrated or replaced, layer by layer. If you go up and fuse it, you will be rejected by it. This is the end of the magic star. Goodbye, Opal, I have to go, the water is boiling. The beautiful chairperson of the Plant Promotion Association is waiting for me to drink green leaf coffee with her.”

Opal: “Wait, teacher, I seem to understand a little bit… Isn’t the chairman Caesar’s lover? How did you grab Caesar… Don’t go!”

Cololin smiled at him and said, “We will meet again.”

Opal said: “Finally! One more thing! I won’t become a child when I wake up!”

“You have grown up and left me.” Cololin left Opal’s dream, the last sentence still echoing in his mind: “Only in my dreams and memories, you are a child.”

Opal opened his eyes, and Raymond whispered: “What’s the matter?”

Opal stared at Raymond in a daze, Raymond leaned over to kiss him, and a strange feeling surged from Opal. He held Raymond’s head and looked at him for a long time.

Raymond whispered: “What did you dream about? It’s okay, wife, you’ve been smoking from time to time when you sleep recently. Are you growing up?”

Opal laughed, nodded, put his arms around Raymond’s neck, and kissed him with confidence.

The next day, Opal had a lot of things that he didn’t understand, but he knew it was not important, and the Pope would tell him something. After all, Drummond needed an assistant to let him come here.

Raymond still sent Opal to the Pope’s study. When Opal opened the door, he found that there seemed to be something invisible in the room.

Gleibini didn’t look at Opal, and said to the air: “I promise this condition, but my time is running out. You’d better as soon as possible.”

There was a slight change in the study in an instant, and the three Phantom Stars appeared, and Opal’s heart shrank, and he found that it was the body form of the Phantom Stars—the nucleus with arcs and the lingering blue light around them.

He felt that these three fantasy stars were paying attention to him.

“This is Wagner, the lord of the magic star, and this is the disciple of Cololin, Opal.” Gleibini said.

Opal leaned slightly, and Wagner shook their minds directly through conscious communication: “Goodbye, Drummond.”

The three magic stars disappeared. Opal knew that the abilities of these higher creatures were extraordinary. They couldn’t read Grebbini’s thoughts?

“Sit down.” Grebbini said, “Do you still have coffee today?”

Opal said: “I’ll come by myself, do you have to drink medicine every day?”

Glebeini nodded, making coffee in front of the opal window sill, watching the fish swimming in the spherical goldfish bowl, and hearing Glebeini’s voice behind his back: “I always had a strange idea when I was a kid. ”

“Huh?” Opal said casually.

Gleibini said: “I wonder if the people around me can read the mind, everyone can know the mind of anyone in the world, and I am the only one who is born with lack of this ability. So even though everyone knows what I’m thinking all the time, no one exposes me, acting to cooperate with me every day, pretending that everyone does not have this ability, so the whole world is unreal.”

Opal smiled and said: “So the person who occasionally leaks this ability is the Star Knight? Everyone is also cooperating with the Star Knight in acting?”

Gleibini nodded and said, “But I finally got it. Do you want to try to read my heart?”

Opal shook his heart, thinking of yesterday’s analysis with Cololin and Reckett.

“I don’t read people’s hearts very often.” Opal said: “Unless it’s a moment when my friend and I are at stake.”

“Ah, no problem.” Glebeini said, “Come on, try to read my heart. I allow you to read it. You can look at me thoroughly and see what horrible ideas are being made under my unsmiling surface. …”

Opal: “…”

Gleibini urged again and again: “Come, try.”

Opal then unceremoniously intruded into Gleibini’s mind with the power of faith, and read it blankly.

This was the first time he encountered the situation since he gained the power of belief in his life. The belief of the strong is like a copper wall and an iron wall, it is difficult to invade their hearts, but their thoughts still exist.

But Drummond has no soul!

His consciousness is not there at all, what is going on? !

Opal said: “Where is your consciousness? You have no consciousness at all, you…”

Glebini smiled and made a shush gesture at him, and said mysteriously: “Of course I have a soul, but I’m not here. Actually, I’m hiding in a place you can’t see.”
