Chapter 576

Toba stopped before the door leading to the front hall.

"I'll wait here." It said respectfully, with all its crooked eyes staring at the door.

Ji Xun agreed.All that is needed in the vestibule is the master.He let Jing Huang sit on the water couch by the porch to wait, and then pushed open the half-hidden door alone.

He enters the vestibule.In the hours past midnight without completing the mission, the room was no longer available for visitors.It becomes infinitely vast, and the ground changes ambiguously in the scorched brown-red air, sometimes like sand, and sometimes like mud.The airflow distorted the light and also blurred Ji Xun's vision, making it impossible for him to see any clear outlines.

There are various indeterminate smells in the air.Metal, motor oil and blood, sometimes flesh and putrefaction, the huge but dim red sun hung high in the sky, which seemed wider than the ground under his feet.From its radiant splendor rise phantasms.Mountains and cities.Palaces and tall trees.A legion of swords and swords.

Their images were very close to him, but the sounds they made were far away, as if they came from a certain pipeline.Another noise clung tightly to his ears.A bright but slightly musical sound.And like meaningless whispers.

Ji Xun walked forward with his head down.He showed no fear or anxiety, everything was planned.When he turned away from the hill-like herd, he finally saw a golden bell hanging in the air.Its round and hollow spherical shell is constantly rotating, in the opposite direction to the inner core.A small but clear ringing sound continued to emanate from the hexagonal cavity.The frequencies in each cavity are different.

This is the only tangible object that can be clearly seen in the entire room.Ji Xun walked near it, and knelt down facing it.

"I'm ready," he said.

The ringing continues.His vision became more cloudy and dim.Blood vessel-like red threads spread before his eyes, forming plaques and patterns, wriggling like life.

imagine.He understood this and continued calmly.Giving form is not a necessary step in this work, but doing so allows more signs to be observed.That's why he always put off entering the hall until the last moment.

The red grows and begins to form outlines.In the end it turned into an ethereal and light figure.This hazy red shadow is taller than Jinling, and the details are very vague.Her voice came from heaven.

"Question one." Hong Ying said.

"I will stay in the house." Ji Xun said, "This is the case today, and it will be the same tomorrow."

The smell of corruption in the air faded.He looked up at his interrogator.The edge of the red shadow twisted as if burning.

"Question two." Hong Ying said.

"I no longer have any interest in the outside world." Ji Xun said, "All history has come to an end. All I can look back on is the past."

The sky darkened rapidly.From behind the extinguished sun emerges the gapless sheet metal.

"Question three." Hong Ying said.

Ji Xun was silent for a short while.He looked at the blood flames emanating from the edge of the red shadow.imagine.from his imagination.Like Jing Juan, he has seen too much potential history.

"I am happy," he replied calmly. "There is no other place where I can be more satisfied."

Behind him, on the phantom of a huge tree full of dead bodies, the sparrow uttered a distant and shrill scream.The cry immediately disappeared in the dimming light like a burning red shadow.

The original appearance of the front hall is gradually revealed.This narrow and low rotunda doesn't have anything from the sky, it is made of a little bit of wood, as well as metal, compound materials, cables, energy pools and acoustic vibration devices.This small space is the only part of the whole home that cannot be tampered with.Visitors are in this room, and everything they say has to be sincere.

Ji Xun knelt and sat on the floor in the center of the round hall.By the light of the electric lamp, he gazed at the golden ball hanging from the ceiling.It no longer spins.When Ji Xun pushed it with his fingers, there was no sound of collision.

He stood up from the ground, opened the door and walked out of the front hall.

Outside the door, the butler Tuoba was still waiting for him.Jing Huang sat on the cold water couch, leaning against the wall, and fell asleep sleepily.

Ji Xun wakes him up.After a short rest, the patient's eyes seemed to be clearer than before.

"Today is over," he said.

Jing Huang glanced at the front hall.For patients with free disease, that is already a strong reaction to the outside world.Ji Xun took it as a positive sign.

"Perhaps," he said tentatively, "the next time you go in with me?"

Jing Huang shook his head.

"It's better not to do that." Tuoba said in a naturally sarcastic tone, "Please do it for the patient. Don't make it difficult for him."

Ji Xun just smiled slightly.

"The question and answer will not embarrass the patient." He still persuaded, "My answer will be the first object. As long as I am still in this house, the second answer will not have any punishment."

He tried his best to arouse Jing Huang's interest, but the effect was not significant.Tuoba tapped on his heels and walked in front of them.

"It's past midnight," he announced, as if with joy. "A new day."

"He should rest for a while." Ji Xun said.Sleep has nothing to do with the body, but to repair the disordered spirit.

Toba leads the way.He led Jing Huang up to the tenth floor again.This time Ji Xun used his ability as the head of the family to greatly reduce the number of steps on each floor, but did not erase the part created by Jing Huang.

They were back at the door they had left just before midnight.Ji Xun opened the door, revealing the simple but neat grotto behind.Straw mats were spread under the corner farthest from the door, which looked shabby and not comfortable enough.

But that was enough. Before opening the door, Ji Xun had conceived a thermal insulation system under the mat, which was enough to make people fall asleep safely.

He sent Jing Huang to the banquet, and he quietly closed the door.Toba's crooked eyes looked at him with a smile.

"I suppose you don't intend to go to bed on time," it said.

In fact, Ji Xun never slept for long.For relieving physical fatigue, he has many alternatives to sleep.He only takes short breaks after concentrating to refresh his mind.But now he didn't need to fix it, he felt his mind was still clear.

"What time is it?" he asked.

"A quarter past midnight. Would you like something to eat?"

Ji Xun refused without interest.He spent much of his time eating and drinking only on ceremonial occasions.Some people are keen on this kind of entertainment.He knew that Jing Huang also kept quite a lot of eating habits—however, it was limited to vegetarian food.

religion.When he was walking towards the study, he thought of this word from Jing Huang's meal.There was little real advantage, or rather, more advantage, to being religious in this city.Because every family gets unlimited.Faith became a periodic fashion, as did clothes, games, and philosophy.People will agree on what concepts and rules to follow during this period, and sometimes even hold sacrifices in someone's home.They can perfect their faith activities because all the details can be learned from the past history.This may also be a kind of clever entertainment, because the construction of various limited ideas helps to prevent free disease.

He did not know what faith Jing Juan followed.Some kind of mild animism.he reasoned.Or moralism.Emphasis on compassion and benevolence.

Perhaps he will intervene in Jinghuang's fantasies from this angle.That's what he thought as he opened the door to his room.Then he set foot on an ice field under the dark deep space.The ice field is a section of a certain period of history, and there is only a small open space left, where a black stone tower stands.His usual study and research room.

Beyond the Clearing, an unknown darkness envelops the Tower.A heterogeneous space that reflects the appearance of the soul.Sometimes something lurks in the darkness, watching this lonely abode.They even knock on the door mischievously.Once Ji Xun fell asleep briefly, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the outside of the tower was covered with flesh and blood as thin as slices of paper.He did some testing, and the flesh and blood were exactly the same as the blueprint of his own body.

A cunning and vicious offender.But he didn't take it seriously, because they couldn't break through the black tower, let alone appear in front of him.This is the past, but also his house.His authority as master is unshakable.

He climbed up the spiral steps outside the black tower, but did not enter the study immediately.On the way, he stopped and gazed into the darkness beyond the tower.When he invested his thinking and imagination in his sight, the invisible piece of spiritual quality squirmed, reorganizing the scene in his mind.

Geometries outlined by energy lines swirl and glow in deep space.They are visual projections of four-dimensional structures.Whenever Ji Xun flipped it in his imagination, the reduced-dimensional picture also changed accordingly.He conceived, looking for a possible exit.The light map filled the entire sky in his thoughts.However, when he tried to manifest this super four-dimensional body with material materials, the energy was annihilated due to the contradiction of thought.His handy scratch paper returned to pure darkness.

Ji Xun stood on the spiral steps.He was not disappointed, because after all, it was just a method of training.If he wanted this hypergeometric shape, the house could just make it for him.What matters is still the verifiable pathway.

He can continue this training until Toba comes and tells him that Jing Huang is awake.But he heard the faint chime of the time in the tower, and a strange familiarity made him stop.Three quarters in the morning.He stood outside the tower for a full two quarters.

Perhaps it is time to return to the study and return the space to its historic owner.Now, he prefers to focus on the research of free disease.

He finished the winding steps and returned to the study.The interior is still in its original state.A book was spread out on the table, the story of the adventures of the solution man.At this time, Ji Xun had no intention of reading this book, and his sense of alienation from reality had completely subsided.He stretched out his hand, his fingertips skimming the bottom line of words.

"...the solution man shook his body vigorously. He shook himself up and became calm and intelligent again. Now he moves on to the next move..."

The writing crumbled before his eyes.From those needlepoint-thin seams, each burst of light is brighter than a star burst.Ji Xun lost consciousness in the hallucination.

He sat as rigid as a corpse.For several minutes.Wet footsteps sounded outside the tower, and someone happily tapped the ground with their heels.

"Seven minutes at three quarters! Seven minutes at three quarters!" Toba yelled with a strange smile, "The time has come, you dead man! Come and have some fun for us all!"
