A journey into an infinite dimension

Why did Hong suddenly want to look for Ge Jiuye?

...Come to think of it, the last time Ge Jiuye met them, it seemed that he had reached some kind of consensus with them.

Panic.

Jia Ye is particularly panicked now.

He always felt that he seemed to have missed something, but no matter how hard his mind worked, he could not figure out what he had overlooked.

Maybe he didn't overlook anything, but Jiaye's intuition told him that this matter was definitely not that simple.

[Okay, we'll cover you up, and leave the rest to us.]

However, before Jia Ye could continue to rack his brains to think, Ge Jiuye's joyful voice interrupted his thoughts.

【Yejiajun～】

【...】

Well, in fact, Jia Ye didn’t dare to disobey Hong’s words. Whether he had thought of it or not, he had to replace the person.

[Um, Ge Jiuye, can we have a discussion? ]

But he felt he could still struggle a little longer.

【uh-huh? 】

[...Never mind, it's nothing, please.]

Silently handing over the control of his body, Jia Ye entered the room and looked at the black screen in front of him that was blocked by Ge Jiuye, and couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

...Well, don't scare yourself, there will definitely be no problem...it's not a big problem.

He raised his hand and patted his cheek. In order to divert his attention, Jia Ye regained his spirits and opened the system panel, ready to sort out his gains in the previous world.

"Well, speaking of which, I wonder how Yela is doing now."

Taking out the completed part of [Book of Azathoth 2/3] from his backpack, Jiaye skipped the first volume, which he could even recite backwards, and directly opened the contents of the brand new second volume.

In an instant, some vague whispers suddenly came out from the Book of Azathoth and quietly filled the entire room.

This is an unknown language. The distorted syllables are absolutely incapable of being produced by human vocal cords. The filthy sound seems to carry a bewitching evil power, causing the listener's mind to inevitably gradually slip away from independent control.

The body felt as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and the bones felt numb as if they were licked by a poisonous snake. It felt like countless worms were crawling inside the brain, and the indescribable fear gradually replaced the seven emotions and six desires.

Eyeballs began to burst, ears fell off quietly, the nose breathed in some disgusting smell, and the mouth was filled with the smell of vomit from thousands of people and socks that hadn't been washed in decades. However, after coming to consciousness, it was discovered that everything was just an illusion caused by the deception of the senses.

Anyone who wants to look at this blasphemous knowledge must go through endless torture, abandon their original three views, and listen to the mumbling from the great and indescribable existence word by word in the pain of their brain being crushed. In the gradually intensifying torture, they will become one with these syllables.

However, faced with this forbidden knowledge that was enough to drive any creature with a strong mind crazy, Jiaye's behavior was as if he was just using [Infinite Headphones] to listen to some music. Even though he actually felt many distorted perceptions, he fundamentally did not regard these reactions as unacceptable.

On the contrary, while accepting these feelings, his spirit was also expanded to become more vast and profound. A large amount of forbidden knowledge that was absolutely unacceptable to the secular world was gradually imprinted in his mind, from shallow to thorough understanding.

"......well."

However, after immersing himself in a large amount of knowledge for a while, Jiaye sighed softly and closed the "Book of Azathoth" again.

Learning can only be done best when you are calm. On the contrary, if you are in a confused state of mind, you will not be able to learn at all.

This is Jiaye’s situation at the moment.

I don’t know what the situation is like outside.

Glancing at the still pitch-black screen, Jia Ye couldn't help but think helplessly.

His current situation is basically the same as that of a death row prisoner waiting to be executed. It's really painful.

In particular, when he thought that a considerable amount of time had passed, in reality only a few breaths had passed. This time difference made him even more helpless.

"We'll look at it later when we have time."

Gently stroking the cover of the [Book of Azathoth], Jiaye then put it away and looked at another item he obtained after completing the task.

......

A round-trip ticket to the "Origin" of the Type-Moon world—The "Origin" is the lifelong pursuit and long-cherished wish of all magicians, the "cause" of everything in this world, the starting point of all phenomena; the origin of all things, the starting point of endless parallel worlds.

Any existence that is not allowed to enter the "Root" will be instantly erased from countless records. However, some individuals who have only touched the outer edge of the "Root" have become "magicians" that countless magicians flock to. This is the power of the "Root".

Now, the invitation to the "Root" is in front of you, and it is guaranteed that you can return from the "Root" smoothly. It is definitely not a black car.

How to use: Just crush it (Another tip: The "Root" is a realm that does not exist within time, so no matter when you want to go there, there is no need to worry about the time issue)

......

""source"......"

Looking at the icon displayed on the grid of the backpack, which was clearly called a "round-trip ticket" but was actually a ball of light, Jia Ye couldn't help but feel a little interested.

After all, he was born into a magician family, and his family was a family of magicians, so naturally he would also have an interest and curiosity in the "roots".

However, the difference is that before, he was interested in the "Root" in order to obtain greater power and fulfill his unique mission as a magus.

Now, it's just out of curiosity.

Countless magi were driven crazy by curiosity. Even their ancestors had only entered the outer part of the "Root" to see what the scenery inside would be like.

Since time is not an issue, why not go in and take a look?

The moment this thought appeared, it took root in Jiaye's heart uncontrollably.

He believed that with his current strength, he would be able to escape unscathed even if he encountered anything in the "Root".

Moreover, he didn't think that the reward for this mission would just be something that the Honkai Will used to make up the numbers.

Therefore, it is possible that there will be some gains from this trip.

"..."

However, just as he made the decision, the icon of a certain prop caught his eye, which made him pause.

"...After all, a promise was made."

With a silent sigh, Jia Ye took out another prop through his mind, and his figure suddenly disappeared in Ge Jiuye's room.

Chapter 341: Shocked! Jia Ye actually————

In the world of consciousness, in the realm of the floating island.

Standing on a tall and steep cliff, with the endless starry sky and ocean in front of him and a quiet green bamboo forest behind him, Jia Ye looked up at the bright moon above his head that seemed to be within reach, his eyes slightly closed, and he remained silent for a long time.

Surrounding him, countless fluorescent fireflies danced freely in the wind, looking like another starry sky under the starry sky.

Sometimes, perhaps because they are tired of flying, some fireflies will gently rest on his shoulders, and after a short rest, they will flap their wings and fly again.

All of this looks so harmonious.

"..."

I don’t know how much time passed, but he, who had been like a statue, finally moved.

A flower that seemed to complement the full moon above his head quietly appeared in Jiaye's raised palm. The faint and hazy fragrance of the flower filled the air, and vaguely seemed to be intertwined with the light bamboo fragrance of the bamboo forest behind.

Perhaps because they were delighted by the appearance of the floral fragrance, it was obvious that at this moment, the dancing of many fireflies began to become more lively, and the fluorescent lights left countless trails of afterlight in the sky, like the Milky Way.

In the moonlight and fluorescent light, the petals of the flowers seem to emit a faint and cool glow, making their already otherworldly beauty even more enhanced.

Jingle Bell----

With a faint crisp sound, Jia Ye slowly opened a pair of bright eyes swaying with flame-like light, and gently stretched out his hand to hand the flower to the void beside him.

"On a night of dancing fireflies and a full moon, the brilliant Udumbara flower blooms here... I can now perhaps grasp the scene, but the flower in my hand is already mature, and I haven't seen the full bloom, which is a bit of a shame."

Taking a deep breath, as if to suppress some emotion, Jiaye spoke softly.

"For the Udumbara flower to bloom, it must be nourished by the filth of the human world, so many people are unwilling to see it bloom."

The girl picked up the beautiful flower called 'Udumbara' from Jiaye's hand, leaned closer to savor its fragrance, and said softly.

"Because the flowers will surely bloom beautifully."

He slowly turned around and looked at the girl standing next to him. Looking at her who looked like a princess under the cold moonlight, Jia Ye's expression couldn't help but show a hint of indelible complexity.

"Long time no see——I don't even know your name, but I can't help but want to say this to you. This feeling is really weird."

Clearly, she was a stranger whom I met for the first time; clearly, I had never known anything about her, but the feeling of nostalgia in my heart could not be suppressed.

In fact, it was even stronger than when she first summoned her 'shadow'.

"You don't know now, it's normal."

She shook her head as if she was laughing, and Jia Ye couldn't deny that the girl's smile was really beautiful.

Adjectives like "beauty that makes the moon hide in shame" and "beauty that makes fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground" are obviously exaggerated, but when used to describe her, people feel that they are just as they should be.

Her long, smooth, jet-black hair fell naturally behind her, with two strands of waist-length hair hanging over her shoulders. Under her bangs that reached her eyebrows, a pair of clear, dark brown eyes were as calm and bright as the surface of a tranquil lake.

She wore a luxurious twelve-piece shawl embroidered with flowers, birds, wind and moon. The conservative attire only exposed the skin of her neck and face to the air. She looked like a real princess.

...In fact, Jiaye believed that she was a real princess.

It was because of her temperament and also because that was what he subconsciously thought.

Just like the subconscious mind knows that humans need to breathe to live, it thinks so.

"The impact seems to be getting worse..."

Jia Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking.

but----

"What do you mean by 'I don't know now'?"

Realizing the message revealed in the girl's words, Jiaye asked in confusion.

"What's the description of this flower in that thing called 'system'?"

As if she was treating some of the most precious treasures, the girl gently held the Udumbara flower, and looked at Jiaye with her beautiful eyes as if smiling, making him subconsciously look away.

For some reason, Jia Ye's resistance to her every move and smile was much lower than when he was facing other girls.

But at the same time, he was not surprised that the girl knew about the existence of the system.

After all, this Udumbara flower that can be used to summon her projection was obtained by drawing a card from the system.

"'Can the power of longing truly transcend the constraints of time, space, and dimensions? A projection, crystallized from someone's longing, exists' — transcending time, space, and dimensions?"

Recalling and whispering the introduction of this Udumbara flower in the system, Jiaye suddenly realized something.

"But if that's the case, then why am I having these feelings?"

But there were still some things he didn't understand.

If things were really as he thought, then at this moment he should not have any feelings about the girl's existence.

"You can think of this as 'world line integration'."

The girl didn't explain much about this.

Because she knew that with just this little hint, Jia Ye would be able to figure it out.

"...In other words, this is an established development that cannot be changed, right?"

As the girl expected, Jia Ye quickly understood the reason for this situation.

"Erase my existence. This is the only way."

The corners of her mouth curled up quietly, and holding the Udumbara flower in one hand, the girl suddenly grabbed Jiaye's clothes with the other hand, and pulled him in front of her without him being prepared, facing him directly.

"Besides, even erasing my memory wouldn't have any effect."

Jia Ye's body instinctively wanted to fight back and break free the moment he realized the girl's movements, but his subconscious mind abruptly stopped this instinctive reaction.

Finally, when he came to his senses, the distance between him and the girl was so close that they could clearly feel each other's breathing.

At the same time, this scene also made him inexplicably feel familiar and full of déjà vu.

————Of course it was impossible for him not to remember the source of the sense of déjà vu, because the last time a similar situation occurred was less than a day.

But compared to this matter, what he cared about more at the moment was the girl's words.

"Could it be..."

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as Jia Ye looked at the girl's cold eyes that were so close to him, and his expression was rarely tense.

"But, without actually trying, who knows if I'm kidding you."
