The content of the vague inner voice was completely inaudible, but Xiaomei could vaguely understand it. It was an instruction, a call, just like whispering through a thick blanket. When Xiaomei doesn't try to find the source of the sound, when she doesn't speculate about its origin, it continues to speak without interruption. Once she tries to find it, it will seem to get further away. Xiaomei didn't know what it was guiding, but since she couldn't locate the execution engineering component branch structure at all, why not try the guidance of this voice?
Xiaomei would not take this inexplicable, mental hallucination-like voice as a friendly thing for granted. However, between choosing to accept this kind of guidance and rejecting this kind of guidance, she had to choose the former. The problem is that there are too many things that you cannot do relying on your own abilities.
Ordinary people just don¡¯t do things they can¡¯t do. Most of the time, there is no reason to do it. Giving up is an extremely common and easy choice for ordinary people, and it basically does not cause much trouble to their survival and life. However, like mysterious experts, especially those who survived the apocalypse, just like Xiaomei herself, there will inevitably be a pressure of "I can't do it myself".
¡°Everyone of the mysterious experts who gave up casually has died long ago. As if the living mysterious experts were chosen, they must have certain similar traits in character and spirit.
Xiaomei could not ignore this weird voice no matter what, even if it was malicious. To put it bluntly, even if you regard this voice as a kind of malicious intention and ignore it, can you stay out of it? Such innocence no longer existed when Xiaomei stepped into this battlefield and had to face all kinds of bad luck and death.
"All good intentions and ill intentions directed at oneself are by no means accidental, nor can they be avoided by one's own subjective retreat.
Xiaomei sat down on the ground, leaning against the wall of the passage, quietly listening to the voice deep in her heart that did not belong to her, not to explore the truth of this voice, but just to let go of her psychological and spiritual guard, whether it was subjective or Subconsciously, he allowed it to become clearer in his mind.
This way.
It seems that this inner voice cannot be heard clearly at all, but Xiaomei can feel the meaning it wants to express from the long series of murmurs. An unclear route emerged in her mind, and when she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but look in that direction.
It turned out to be his own origin.
In other words, have you missed it?
Xiaomei stood up, holding the magic cane that glowed slightly, and walked back in the direction. After walking less than ten steps, she suddenly realized there was a door beside her. When she passed by here before, she didn't notice it at all. No, she rubbed her temples and recalled it carefully, feeling that there was actually no such door here. Although she had been walking alone for a long time and the mental pressure had accumulated to a certain extent, she would never ignore these small details.
She became more and more certain that there was no door to this place, not even a hidden door. There is no record of this door, either in person or in the information stored in the database. So, it¡¯s not that I¡¯ve ignored it, but that it¡¯s my own voice that is centering on myself and exuding some kind of mysterious power?
Even so, Xiaomei didn¡¯t find any place on the outline of the door that could be opened. There is no lock, no handle, and there is no track that can be opened from the surface. It looks more like a lightly carved texture. The reason why it is called a "door" is just because the outline is rectangular and looks like a door. Like a disguised door.
She had a strong feeling that the execution engineering component structure was behind this door. She had already felt that the branch structure of the execution engineering component was in this area before, but she could not locate the exact target based on her feeling. But you can clearly feel whether you are close to the goal or whether you are closer to the goal. Of course she had no evidence that what she was looking for was at this location, but if she wanted to find evidence, she should have let a detective come, not a mystery expert like her.
Intuition will tell her what to do, and her intuition is never wrong. Anything you do based solely on feeling, even if it is an unfounded feeling, is often correct. The probability of the mysterious expert's intuition being accurate is as high as ninety-nine percent, and the remaining one percent often heralds the arrival of the mysterious expert's own death.
Now, intuition is also telling the magical girl Xiaomei what she should do. This intuition was getting mixed up with the inner voice that was not her own, and Xiaomei began to feel that they were gradually becoming the same thing.
Straight to the mindThe whispering sound got louder and started to become annoying, just like when you sleep, there are always mosquitoes buzzing in your ears, and you can't get rid of them even if you wave your hands to drive them away.
It was in this irritating voice that Xiaomei waved her magic cane according to her feelings without any extra thoughts. She just obeyed this feeling, but couldn't understand what she had done. There was no phenomenon of mysterious power on the magic cane, and there was no surge of power in her body. It was like waving her hand in vain. However, after she did this, the outline of the door that looked like a set in front of her immediately sunk inward and slowly entered the wall beside it.
The entrance appears. Xiaomei took a deep breath and did not investigate what happened in the process. What she was looking for was inside, and she felt that her feelings were becoming more clear. What kind of thing seemed to be right next to me before, but seemed to be separated by some kind of barrier. The barrier of being unable to confirm its specific location even if it was close at hand is quickly melting.
Inside, right in front Xiaomei stood in front of the open door. There was darkness in front of her. Even if she used the standard magic cane to release light, she could not let the light penetrate into it at all. This strange dark phenomenon is undoubtedly frightening. Xiaomei cannot say that she is not scared at all, but think about the companions around her, think about the school sister who suddenly disappeared, and think about Xiaomei who is far away in the repeater in London. Mei, as well as her deceased relatives, had a new courage injected into her body.
There is no better choice.
With a determined thought, she stepped into the darkness behind the door.
Xiaomei imagined what was in this darkness, but she didn't actually feel the darkness for half a second. Looking in from the outside, you can't see anything, but once you step in, not even the light changes at all. Only the field of vision suddenly widened. The width of the passage was only ten meters. Most of it was made of metal material with sharp edges and hard and cold scenery. But what opened in front of Xiaomei's eyes at this time was a huge one with a length and width of more than a hundred meters. The style of the hall was something she had never seen before on this ship.
In the United Space Test Fleet, most things have a hard and bright luster, and some fresh functions are also completely full of artificial atmosphere, which can directly create an imagination of being in the future. When human society was still functioning normally, those high-tech movies often had this style. Even after "Sha"'s transformation, this style was not replaced by the style of the ruling bureau, but was just mixed together. However, whether it is the high-tech future in human science fiction movies or the unique structure material style of the ruling bureau, they are all different from the style of the hall before you.
It can be clearly said that the sense of time and the sense of place are completely different.
When Xiaomei saw all this clearly, she felt as if she had entered a place where time had stagnated. Everything gave people an extremely heavy and gloomy feeling, making people feel that the things here should not be there at all. It's not in a cosmic joint test fleet, but should be in a fantasy castle. Xiaomei doesn't think this is "Sha"'s design, but maybe the human designers were a little more playful when it was shipped from the factory on Earth? Judging from the existence of the door alone, there is no doubt that this is a "hidden room".
However, although the overall feeling is heavy and gloomy, and the large color blocks are all deep cold colors, the most common are red, yellow, and blue, and everything has very complicated strokes and patterns, but to say that these are Xiaomei couldn't tell what it was. There was nothing similar to it in her past memory. When entering the hall, people often pay attention to the superficial decoration at first sight, and pay special attention to the decoration on the walls and ceiling, which usually include lamps, tables and chairs.
However, none of these things can be found in this spacious hall. It was hard for Xiaomei to convince herself that the things she saw were decorations. Because it is impossible to describe what those things are, I can only talk about their general structure and outline: they must be things I have never seen before, and it is impossible to guess their use from their appearance. The structure looks angular and has a consistent sense of symmetry. However, if you move a little and look at it from different angles, you will find that what you are seeing is not the same thing.
It¡¯s like, if you can¡¯t observe it from a holistic and comprehensive perspective at the same time, you can¡¯t really understand what it really looks like. Every side of it is different, but the question is, how many "sides" are there? From what Xiaomei saw, even if she moved just one degree, what she saw would change. If you want to record all its side views and then stitch them together into a complete image, how many times will it be moved? How many angles should we look at?
If it is just an ordinary cup, people only need to pick it up and play with it, and they can combine the images from different perspectives into a complete image in their minds. However,??Nothing concrete in this hall can do this. In other words, Xiaomei's brain, even what she considers to be a "human brain" does not support it at all. Even if an instrument is used to take photos from different angles and the data is used to synthesize a complete form, humans cannot put it into their own brains to understand it. Even if it is converted into a flat surface and presented in a flat form, when people see it, they can What I understand is definitely not what these things really look like.
Xiaomei racked her brains to understand what she saw, but apart from the fact that this was a "hall", the various colors in the hall, and the overall atmosphere, the more detailed situations could not be described in words. , and also find similar things that can be compared from imagination. Therefore, she was still in an inexplicable unknown. Although she had seen it with her own eyes, she could not understand what she saw.
The gloomy colors seemed to be flowing when she was in a trance. Maybe it was really flowing, Xiaomei couldn't tell clearly, but she clearly saw that there were huge, plural ring-like structures floating out of this color. At what angle it emerged, Xiaomei couldn't describe it in words. She couldn't understand the process she saw. The closest description of this movement in her mind was "floating up", but in fact, "up" is not a direction. description, but just a feeling.
Only "floating" is slightly more accurate, but it is not completely accurate.
All in all, huge plural ring structures slowly emerge from the large blocks of color in a way that is indescribable and incomprehensible to people who have seen it with their own eyes. Only this ring structure is the only one in this hall that looks relatively simple. s things. At least its appearance can be clearly described. Xiaomei recognized it at a glance. This was the branch structure of the execution engineering component she was looking for. The reason why its appearance was so simple that it could be understood was that it stood out so dazzlingly among the incomprehensible things. It seems that the form was deliberately simplified to take care of the rudimentary human brain.
Although the branch structure of the execution engineering component is the simplest thing in this room, its function is understandably complex. Unlike other things, it is impossible to imagine what functions it has.
The ring-shaped structure is located on a square base, one ring inside another, and the appearance is metallic. Judging from the details, each ring structure is made up of more small ring structures that are spliced ??and interlocked with each other. However, if you focus on counting how many ring structures there are, you will definitely be dazzled, and you will not even count half of it. I've forgotten exactly where I was counting.
A group of blue light is located at the center of all ring structures. No matter how complex these ring structures are, from the perspective of the overall structure, when they operate, they are completely centered on this group of blue light. Moreover, in terms of overall image and movement, it is also symmetrical. Asymmetry in details and symmetry in general seem to be characteristics that all objects in this hall must abide by.
What should you do next? Xiaomei thought to herself. Although this is what I have been looking for, specifically, I don¡¯t have a clear clue on how to find out the clues about the mastermind behind it. Looking back, the thing that supports me is more like an impulse. and intuition rather than logical reason.
