Chapter 454 Nightmare Space

"Why are you here?!"

It seems that she was affected by the dead information system in the fragmented world, and Artemis didn't call out until now.

"Something's wrong, let's come over and check it out."

I said vaguely, the situation regarding the world fragments is becoming more and more complicated now, and I am afraid that we really need to think carefully to deal with this matter.

"Come and check it out..." Artemis murmured to herself, and it took a long time to finally understand the meaning of this sentence, "Wait!! You mean, you can travel between the two worlds!? "

"That's not difficult," my sister said calmly. "To deal with troubles related to the world, traveling through planes is an indispensable skill."

"In other words, you can help us..."

An expression of ecstasy immediately appeared on Artemis's face, completely gone from the calm and decisive look she had at the beginning. The girl with blond ponytail almost screamed out of control. She stood up suddenly, almost all of her body was stretched out. In front of me.

This kind of performance reminds me of Lilina back then. At that time, the naturally dark guy also used the same method to deceive me a lot of sympathy, but now what I have gained is just a fake loli that is so bad to the core. ...Well, it seems I'm off topic again.

"Calm down." My sister immediately held down Artemis, who was a little out of control. We can understand the other person's mood. Behind this seemingly ordinary and prosperous world, there is a truth as cold as the tomb hidden behind it. In other words, I'm afraid no one would like to live here, and it's normal for us to have high hopes for the miracle of traveling through time and space. But in fact, solving this problem is a hundred times more complicated than imagined. We can't determine the cause or even the principle of its existence, and its appearance cannot even be explained by Ding Dong, let alone how to rejuvenate the fragments of the dead world. Even if the world is not saved, only the Alte It’s probably impossible for Miss and the others to take them away from here. No matter how close to the normal will they are, they are still information ghosts that die with the entire world, or to put it another way, information that enters an unstable quantum state but does not dissipate. Integration, what will be the consequences of such a disembodied information ghost entering the main material plane? No one dares to take this risk.

So as much as I'd love to help this girl, it's really not that simple.

It didn't take long for Artemis to calm down. This stubborn and strong girl has amazing psychological endurance. She deserves to be a leader in both worlds. Her vision of assessing the situation and the overall situation Guan is far beyond her years.

We told Artemis the difficulty of the whole thing. Although it was difficult for a high school girl to understand such a difficult thing, she calmly accepted the fact that even we were temporarily unable to do anything - which was a huge surprise. Exceeded our expectations.

"In short, everything is not hopeless," Lin Xue comforted Artemis, who was biting her lips and silent, half-truthfully, "I can see the future, and you are still in it, but the details are We don’t know what to do now.”

"Tell me about this world, what happened here, and what is happening now. This is crucial to whether we can save you."

Artemis shook her head: "I don't know, everything happened overnight. I was just an ordinary high school girl before. I never thought that I would experience such a thing... That night was so ordinary. I and I Huwen and the others were walking by the school pool. Everything was fine at first, but... suddenly there was a very strong flash of light in the sky. In just a moment, we all lost consciousness... When we woke up, the world It has become like this, a lonely city of death..."

"It may be a star explosion," the think tank headed by Bubble and Tavel reported the possible deduction results in real time. "But there are usually precursors that last for a long time before a star explodes. It can be observed with the naked eye during the day. It is not consistent." According to Artemis's description, the second possibility is the 'Reigner-level' Genesis Flash. That kind of light can evaporate the entire star system in an instant. This is consistent with Artemis's description and also consistent with the destruction of the planet in a very short time. The conditions for generating quantum ghosts, which are fragments of information, are the least likely. The power of the Genesis flash is mainly reflected in the destruction of tangible matter, and its legal impact is not strong. We need more information."

As for the current situation of the world, Artemis doesn't know much. After all, she was just an ordinary female high school student before, no matter how high her leadership talent is or how strong her spirit has been honed in her subsequent experiences. , and cannot seal her own lack of knowledge. The conjectures and laws she summarized about the "death world" are of no use to us at all. The only ones worth paying attention to are a few nouns.

The Awakened refer to those students who gathered around Artemis and maintained their own will. As the key point of the information projection of the two worlds and the special link connecting the two worlds, the information around Artemis is very important. Active, even enough to be called a small information explosion point in this world, which allows her companions to maintain their willpower, and sleeping students will occasionally appear where she is." Signs of "awakening", which is why Suzune "harassed" her classmates in the classroom at that time. She was looking for companions, and this special power of Artemis is also one of the important reasons why she can become the leader of the "awakened ones" .

However, the probability of "awakening" is quite low, even a few years after the destruction of the world (it may be longer, but the time here seems to be very chaotic, any common timing methods are useless, Artemis is just They think that only a few years have passed, but in fact their own time has stopped long after the destruction of this world), and only less than ten "new people" were discovered. This is no wonder that Huwen and Suzu were Yin showed surprise after seeing us.

Sleeping is the completely opposite phenomenon to waking up. In this world of death, "sleeping" is a taboo word, which means losing all self-will and becoming one of the "ghosts" of the walking dead. It is sad. Yes, compared with the low probability of "awakening", the possibility of "sleeping" seems to be quite high. There will always be students who are awake and suddenly fall asleep, becoming those who listen carefully in class and move around mechanically on campus. "Ghost", when the world was destroyed and turned into a large piece of quantum information, Artemis gathered hundreds of companions around her, but now, there are only less than 100 people who are still awake. Twenty people...

"Stay in a few special rooms in this building where I sit, communicate often, even meaningless conversations, don't hang around outside too much, don't interact too much with those stiff 'ghosts' , and many other skills, that is the experience we gained after sacrificing hundreds of companions over such a long period of time.”

Artemis spoke slowly, with a deep sadness in her voice.

What kind of strong heart can allow an ordinary high school girl to shoulder such a heavy burden?

"We will try our best to help you. Anyway, this is not inconsistent with our original purpose."

The kind-hearted sister said to Artemis sincerely.

Yes, there is no contradiction. Although the fragments of this world pose a threat to our real world, as long as the absolute line of law between the two is separated, this threat will no longer exist, and the separation of them would have This is our mission, but the original plan was to destroy this floating fragment after completing the separation, but now it is changed to saving this place.

Although the second step seems to be a hundred times more difficult than the original plan, but...just as my sister said, do your best, and if it doesn't work, just let God Doudin take action. I don't believe that guy took the make-up exam so many times and finally made a little progress. nothing!

We talked with Artemis for a long time. Of course, the main thing was Artemis's unilateral confession. This girl has been suppressed for too long. Although she acted so strong, in this tomb-like city, Living a nightmare life, and having to be regarded as the only support by her companions, such a burden is almost unimaginable for an ordinary girl, not to mention that since the information projection of the two worlds was interrupted due to unknown reasons, she has been continuously The "dream world" that we could chat with has also been lost. Under this heavy pressure, even the strongest people will expose their fragile side. It is precisely because of this that when we see those of us who have been After the person she had regarded as a dream character appeared in front of her, Artemis showed unusual enthusiasm. It was unimaginable that this girl was the leader of the Olympus terrorist organization on Earth not long ago. , she even almost subverted the entire human society!

"By the way, what were you thinking at that time, to gain the power of 'god'? Lead the Olympus organization to inform the world? These ideas are too vulgar, aren't they?"

After gradually becoming familiar with each other, Qian Qian became very curious about this former enemy. She and she seemed to have become good sisters who talked about everything, almost getting together in a close relationship.

"This..." When this topic was mentioned, Artemis immediately became embarrassed, "If I said that I just regarded everything as my dream, or even a fantasy world of self-interest, would you believe it? Even now, I still think you guys are a bit unreal..."

Then we were together.

This is another poisoned love story, and it’s the kind of book that’s been read too much. Well, most of the people who read this kind of book are boys, right?

"Is it getting dark soon?"

While they were chatting, Artemis suddenly looked up at the bright sky outside the window and said something carelessly.

"It's dark? The sun is still so high..."

Qian Qian said strangely, but soon she couldn't continue. It seemed that the sun in the sky had never moved from the beginning. It hung in the middle of the sky for the whole day.

In this world, nothing can be explained according to common sense.

Sure enough, less than a minute after Artemis finished speaking, the sky outside suddenly turned dark.

There is no process at all, as if God is a poor animation supervisor who is short of funds and lacks responsibility and the production team does not agree. In order to save costs, he directly canceled the dusk gradient effect from the stage play called "The World". It is just a screen. In a flash, with a "biu" sound, the sky was filled with stars instead of the original clear blue sky.

Then, the strange-looking pile of books and chair fragments piled up in the center of the classroom spontaneously ignited in complete violation of common sense of physics. The blazing bonfire cast many ghosts in the large classroom, and Qian Qian was immediately happy. Hehe and Lilina ran to play with fire.

"Although it is difficult to judge the accurate passage of time in this world, there are still traces of scenes such as dawn and dusk, which are related to the shape of the clouds in the sky. And for such a long time, we have learned some patterns about this chaotic world. It's also touched the edge." Artemis looked at the bonfire that was burning, but the books and wood chips underneath showed no signs of burning. "For example, this pile of flames will always burn on its own. , when it turns blue, it’s almost daybreak.”

"This world is so weird."

My sister and I looked at each other and sighed in unison.

"There's not even a sunset!"

The sunset! Such a bleak apocalyptic world would be so incomplete without the sunset, bastard!

"Sunset? There was one a few days ago," Artemis smiled. It always seems to be a happy thing to spend time with a group of imperial leaders who have not left. Although I don't think that she just sighed at all. What's so funny, "But it's gone now. Now it will get dark as soon as the time comes. It's not excessive at all. God knows where dusk has reached in this world."

The disappearing dusk?

I suddenly thought of the dusk scene that inevitably comes every morning in the real world outside, and then sighed: "I think I know where your dusk is..."

"A collision of two worlds?"

After listening to my explanation, Artemis couldn't help but open her eyes. The entanglement of laws, the pollution of information, and the collision of worlds. This series of rare terms entered her ears, making this girl who was still in the age of strong curiosity (in In this world where time has stagnated, Artemis and the others have really gained another meaning of immortality), which aroused great interest, so just now they were busy studying with Lilina how to roast the buds of the world tree. After eating, Qian Qian immediately jumped back and began to pull Artemis to explain the model of the multiverse. This poor girl with the name of the Moon God was poisoned by Qian Qian's messy theories that were full of loopholes. …

At this moment, a low "whimpering" sound from somewhere suddenly penetrated our ears, just like the whimpering of the night wind, which suddenly made everyone quiet.

"A...Ajun," Qian Qian slipped into my arms immediately, "Did you hear something?"

"What the hell..." I held the trembling Qian Qian in my arms while looking around in confusion. Qian Qian is not afraid of ghosts, but this weird and sinister whimpering sound would make anyone panic. , the always steady elder sister and the heartless Lin Xue were fine, but Qian Qian, who was just an ordinary girl under normal personality, was already a little hairy.

"Boss, I'm afraid..." As soon as Qian Qian calmed down, the bad lolita next to her, Lilina, suddenly came over and got into my arms as if she was joining in the fun. Well, she was knocked away by Qian Qian's elbow.

"Oops, it started moving again." Artemis was quite calm. Maybe this phenomenon is quite normal in this world?

Just when I was about to ask something, the ground suddenly shook.

Then, like a crumbling dream, the walls around us suddenly collapsed!

This is something that is hard to imagine. Generally, part of the walls of a building must be load-bearing walls. Once these walls collapse, the roof will definitely fall down, but when the walls around us collapse silently into rubble on the ground, , the ceiling above strangely... floated away horizontally?

What about the roofs elsewhere? What about the corridor outside? Where did all that stuff go?

After the mutation started, the activity room of the Chemistry Department was like an isolated island on the sea, bumping and shaking amidst the violent vibrations all around. The corridors and stairs in the ancient building were twisting and moving in front of our sight as if they were alive, and one of the stairs even wiped. With Artemis' hair flying past us, a cement base with a lightning rod installed and half-broken steel bars slowly fell from a short distance, and a classroom originally located on the first floor - or The wall on the front of that classroom rose before our eyes, and then hung at the end of a corridor that had been twisted into an S shape. It was only at this moment that I suddenly understood why I had seen a room that was originally built at the stairway of the third floor. The guard room should be located on the ground floor...

Just like a ridiculous nightmare, the whole building twisted and deformed in front of our eyes. Everyone inside seemed to be in the belly of a nightmare. Faced with such a weird scene, even my sister had a trace of sadness on her face. Nervous, Qianqian even closed her eyes and curled up in my arms. The eradication of hundreds of millions of insect swarms in the Keprulu sector did not scare her. Today she faced such a bizarre and absurd scene. , but she was frightened - just like a brave warrior who can kill countless enemies on the battlefield, but will still be awakened from his sleep by a weird nightmare. The scene here is so bizarre that it is like a dream.

Although I also doubt whether this girl Qianqian can connect with the "brave warrior".

As for Lilina, this little girl is now in my arms, and Qianqian is half of the world. It can be seen that this guy is really scared now. I can feel obvious trembling from that petite and soft body. That's why I didn't throw her out out of habit this time.

"Ha, look! This nightmarish world!"

Artemis stood staggeringly in this bizarre scene. Although the bumps made her stagger, the girl still walked forward stubbornly until she reached the blazing bonfire, and then seemed to ignore the flames there. Usually, pull out a book from it.

"It looks like this will last a long time. We can read a book first."

Artemis held the big book that was still glowing with flames, turned her head, and smiled like a flower.
