The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1085
When Gao Yang woke up, he found himself in darkness.

Soon, he realized something was wrong. The surroundings were not darkness, but a strange space.

His "front" and "rear" do not exist, and they are not accurate if they do not exist. Rather, although they exist, Gao Yang is absolutely unable to perceive them and cannot transcend them.

If I had to describe it, Gao Yang seemed to be caught in the gap between the two cliffs. Every inch of the gap was absolutely close to Gao Yang and embedded airtightly.

Although "front" and "rear" do not exist, Gao Yang can clearly feel that the space in the four directions of up, down, left, and right does exist.

Gao Yang tried to turn his head, and he did it, but it didn't seem to really move. It felt weird.

There is a white line on his left side. Since there is no perspective relationship, this white line looks far away from him and yet very close, like a vertical horizon line.

In fact, this line segment was everything in Gao Yang's field of vision.

In the white line on the horizon, there is also a black line segment, which is about the same height as Gao Yang. Gao Yang took a closer look and found that the color of this black line segment was dark and light, and it was shaking slightly.

"you're awake."

The black line segment spoke, and its voice was very strange. It was similar to Jiuhan's [Sound Transmission], and it directly turned into some kind of signal and transmitted into Gao Yang's brain.

"Ah."

Gao Yang thought, and the language in his mind turned into information and was conveyed to the black line segment.

Since the other party's "voice" had no characteristics, Gao Yang continued to ask: "Who are you?"

"Bai Li Yi." The black line segment answered.

"Am I in your diary?" Gao Yang had already guessed the answer.

"Yes, we are in a two-dimensional world." The trembling black line became a little longer and clearer, and Baili Yi was approaching Gao Yang.

"Of course, it is not a real two-dimensional world, but a space that is infinitely close to the two-dimensional world."

"I probably understand." Gao Yang found that his mood was quite calm. It might be a side effect of the powerful sedative, or it might be that the "two-dimensional state" affected his mental state.

"You must have many questions to ask me." Bailiyi said.

Gao Yang was silent.

Before the change, he wished he could hold onto Bai Liyi and question him for three days and three nights, but now, he found that the only question he cared about was only one question.

"Mr. Baili..."

"Just call me Baili."

"Baili, you said we are the only hope of the world, is the dead beast the opposite of hope?" Gao Yang asked.

"What you want to ask is, do we have to kill the beast?"

Gao Yang was silent.

"Of course I have my conclusions, but I can't tell you. I can only tell you part of the truth I know. You have to draw your own conclusions and make decisions."

Gao Yang was still silent.

Suddenly, the black line segment in front of him disappeared.

Gao Yang felt that the whole space was shaking slightly, and there was a "whistle" of wind coming from the front.

Two seconds later, Bailiyi appeared in front of him. He was no longer a black line, but a slowly unfolding flat portrait of a middle-aged man in a white coat.

But this state only lasted for a moment. Then, Bailiyi entered Gao Yang's "eyes" and disappeared, but Gao Yang felt that his body - to be precise, the "body composed of lines" had become complicated.

It was as if the shadow cut out by the broken leaves of one branch covered the shadow cut out by another branch, and the two shadows became one shadow.

"What's going on?" Gao Yang asked.

"Haha, someone is probably playing a prank." Bailiyi said.

……

Nigeria, southern desert, Dr. Jia’s old laboratory.

The almost emptied basement was very empty, with dozens of people staying inside.

After receiving the text message, all the awakened ones except Long immediately dressed up in disguise and rushed to Nigeria via different official routes - this was also the emergency evacuation plan that everyone had prepared from the beginning.

Fortunately, the dead beast did not immediately search for and hunt the awakened ones after waking up. Everyone arrived in Nigeria smoothly and gathered in Dr. Jia's old laboratory.

Of course, this is not a place to stay for a long time, and the follow-up plan will be discussed in the long term after Gao Yang wakes up.

At this moment, Zhang Wei, Dr. Jia, and Gregor gathered around a small round table. Baili Yi's diary was placed on the table. The diary was opened from the middle. There were two people on a piece of paper, namely Gao Yang. and a simple line drawing of Bailiyi.

"Look!" Zhang Wei discovered something: "He's moving!" Sure enough, Gao Yang in the diary opened his eyes. At the same time, Bai Liyi's mouth next to him began to open and close, as if he was talking. .

Then, the two began to communicate. In Zhang Wei's eyes, it was like a stop-motion animation.

"Interesting!" Dr. Jia stared at the two people in the diary: "[Painter] is really interesting. I will study it carefully later."

Zhang Wei also stayed in the diary. Thinking of that magical experience again, he couldn't help but ask: "Dr. Jia, do you think people in the two-dimensional world see everything as a line segment?"

"Absolutely." Dr. Jia replied.

"People in the two-dimensional world can never see each other's whole face, nor can they truly embrace each other. It's quite lonely when I think about it." Gregor has been a bit sentimental recently.

"What's the matter? Many three-dimensional people are the same." Zhang Wei said.

"Ha, haha." Gregor only felt that his knees hurt, and pretended to be surprised: "There can't be such a person, right? This is too miserable!"

"Hug..." Dr. Jia found this idea very interesting: "Theoretically, it's impossible, but as long as people from the three-dimensional world intervene, people from the two-dimensional world can also hug."

"How to interfere?" Zhang Wei didn't understand.

"Look." Dr. Jia said, taking the diary and folding the page in half, just so that the two images of Gao Yang and Baili Yi overlapped: "Done."

"Holy crap!" Zhang Wei was stunned: "Is it that simple?"

"It's that simple." Dr. Jia chuckled: "There are so many things that creatures in the two-dimensional world can't do in their lifetimes, but the three-dimensional world can easily help them do it. This is called dimensionality reduction attack."

"If you think about it this way, the three-dimensional world is better." Zhang Wei said.

"What a fart!" Dr. Jia said eloquently: "There are too many limitations. The most intuitive point is that we are all prisoners of time, except of course [the ghosts of time and space]."

"The four-dimensional world looks at us just like we look at the two-dimensional world. With just one fold, we can be embraced by people in the two-dimensional world. With just a small movement, the four-dimensional world can look through every point in time from birth to death. They You can stay wherever you want, for as long as you want, the concepts of life and death don’t exist at all.”

Zhang Wei began to daydream: "It's incredible. If I could always stay in the happiest time, it would be so wonderful."

"Look at your potential!" Gregor looked contemptuous.

"Why are you pretending to be a saint? Don't you want to?" Zhang Wei asked soul torture.

Gregor tried to imagine the moment of great joy when he wrote a satisfactory novel paragraph. If he could stay in that joy...

Gregor gave a thumbs up: "How cool!"

"Haha, the four-dimensional world is nothing. In theory, there are worlds with higher latitudes, five dimensions, six dimensions, and even ten dimensions..."

Just as Dr. Jia was about to talk, two white lights flew out of the diary with a "swipe" sound.

The two portraits in the diary disappeared, and the living Baili Yi and Gao Yang appeared in front of everyone.

For a moment, all the sounds in the underground laboratory disappeared. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Gao Yang and Bailiyi in unison.

Soon, all eyes stayed on the face of the black-haired boy.That is their spiritual leader, their map navigation, the person they can rely on and believe in no matter how desperate they are.

Everyone already knew what happened to Gao Yang, and they were all worried about Gao Yang's mental state. Everyone wanted to say something, but found that it was inappropriate to say anything.

Even Zhang Wei, who has always been confident and talkative, hesitated to speak.

Finally, Suzaku walked out of the crowd and said softly: "Gao Yang, if you feel tired, you can rest for a while, don't force it."

"Thank you, I'm fine." Gao Yang's face was calm and his voice was a little low: "How long did I sleep?"

"Almost three days." Suzaku said.

Gao Yang thought for a moment and nodded.

He came to the middle of the crowd and looked around at everyone: "What happened three days ago was a serious dereliction of duty on my part and almost caused a catastrophe. I'm sorry."

"You don't have to blame yourself too much. We might not have done better if it were us." Suzaku comforted.

"Stop speaking for this kid!" Douhu said angrily, holding half a cigarette in his mouth, "A dereliction of duty is a dereliction of duty, and there is no way to clean it up!"

Gao Yang nodded: "Accept the criticism."

"Gao Yang, don't do this next time! Do you hear me?" Dou Hu said sharply.

"It won't happen again." Gao Yang promised.

"Okay." Douhu stepped forward and patted Gao Yang on the shoulder: "As a friend, I have to say that you are really fucking miserable. I will accompany you anytime you want to drink."

"Let's wait another day." Gao Yang turned sideways and looked at everyone: "Since everyone is here, let's have a meeting."
