I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 829 Questioning
In the endless darkness, there seemed to be a vague shadow gathering.

Under the invisible abyss, the black spots slowly twisted into a ball, and began to rotate and extend...

It looked like a cylinder, but also like some kind of weapon.

The shadows were too blurry to be discerned.

Finally, after the lines on the shadow stabilized, its original appearance was revealed.

It was a long spear without a tip.

The tip of the gun disappeared, leaving only the handle with intricate patterns.

After the spear was condensed, as the handle rotated, a faint conversation sounded from inside.

"I'm back." A voice said tiredly.

"Did we succeed?"

"It seems so."

"Is this... enough?"

"Yes, although there were many unexpected events, this is enough. We can still chat now, which means the plan has been successful. After the cube left, the chaos did not collapse, and the world is still functioning normally."

"That's great, but I still don't understand why it's still working? Doesn't he already know we're lying to him?"

"It doesn't matter. We're not deceiving him..."

"Who is that?"

"It's the audience... As long as they don't know what's true and what's false, as long as there's doubt in their hearts, the world will keep turning and won't stop."

"But they are always watching us. They must know what is true and what is false, right? Even our conversations can be seen clearly by them. Nothing can escape their prying eyes."

"The key is not the audience who are always watching us, but the audience who can't see here... Some audiences will be distracted, some audiences will be bored, some audiences will leave halfway through, and some audiences will not understand. These audiences will question, and these 'questions' will become the third axis that transcends the world, firmly fixing time and space."

……

Hanqin carefully explained the theory of the "third axis" to her companions, telling them word for word what she had learned from her father.

Every time she talked about these things with her friends, she would always recall the scene when her father first talked to her about the "third axis".

She was still young at that time and didn't know what the theories her father meant.

"The truth is mixed with falsehood, and the falsehood is mixed with the truth."

"Light is mixed with darkness, and darkness is mixed with light."

Her father told her that all gazes and observations are essentially the transmission of information. Although their actions can be seen clearly by the audience, they will also be transmitted through the medium, which will also cause "information corruption."

The audience can only see the side facing the auditorium, but not the side inside. They must see the characters who appear first before they can see the characters who appear later. Those audiences are not omniscient and know everything. They will also be disturbed by the order, specificity and discreteness of information transmission, and thus make wrong judgments.

"For example, the audience may not know what I am standing on right now. Their eyes are on more important information and they will not notice the thing under my feet."

"Then what is that thing under your feet?" Han Qin asked her father curiously.

My father slowly moved his feet away, revealing the sand underneath.

"See? Nothing."

……

Some of the audience won't notice what's under his feet.

Some viewers will notice and then question it.

Some viewers will know the truth. "The reception of information is sequential and detailed. The time and space of our world will also limit the vision of those who are beyond the world. Our target is not those viewers who know the truth, but those who see half of it."

"In order to amplify these misjudgments, the amount of information must be increased, making the process of 'discovering the truth' as ​​lengthy and complicated as possible, using excessive information to conceal the real purpose."

"In this way, even if the audience perceives a partial truth, they will still have 'questions'."

"Do you think there's really nothing under my feet, or did I move it away?"

Father suddenly asked Hanqin. Hanqin was stunned for a moment. Looking at her father's hairy feet, her thoughts began to turn.

"Yes! That's it! Hold on!"

Her father touched her head, and Hanqin realized that she had just started to "question".

"Questions are like shadows, which cannot be shaken off and will always follow us. When those eyes question, they will be connected to our world. We can use these 'questions' that transcend the world to create a third axis, firmly fixing time and space."

Han Qin nodded as if she understood, she knew that her father had been working hard to assist the darkness and had spent a lot of energy on this. This should be her father's latest research result.

"Since we have found a way to make the third axis, why don't we start now?" Han Qin asked her father in confusion.

Hearing this question, her father patted her shoulder helplessly.

“Without a qualified information medium… we can’t make the audience question, they will just suddenly understand and then forget everything.”

"What is a qualified information medium?" Han Qin asked.

"There are several elements. First, there must be enough information to make the audience question. Second, it must be attractive enough to make them actively interested and accept the information. Finally, the information must be confusing, such as confusing the time or the truth... Unfortunately, I haven't found a qualified information medium yet."

My father pushed the sand with his foot, as if there was really something hidden under his feet.

But Hanqin now understood that there was nothing under her father's feet.

After repeating this several times, the "doubts" in her heart had completely disappeared, and she had lost interest in the "truth under her feet."

Hanqin was very smart. She immediately realized that her father was showing her what a qualified information medium is.

And this "truth under your feet" is obviously not a qualified information medium...

"Do you understand?" Seeing Hanqin still in a daze, her father asked softly.

"Yeah." Han Qin answered in a low voice. She certainly understood her father's difficulties.

Although he found the so-called third axis, he was unable to put it into practice, so his father was always depressed. He could only tell his troubles to her, who was still young, to seek comfort.

"I believe my father, he will find it."

Hanqin comforted him as she squeezed into her father's arms.

The father was stunned for a moment, then hugged her tightly.

Neither the father nor the daughter spoke, but they both understood what the other was thinking.

……

Darkness enveloped the earth, and the sound of tribesmen singing could be heard in the distance.

Her father patted Hanqin on the back and told her to go play with her tribesmen. He then stood alone under the night sky filled with singing.

Hanqin left obediently, but still turned around from time to time to look at her father's lonely figure.

The singing voice was getting closer and closer, and the figure was getting farther and farther away, until it was completely invisible...
