Vol 6 Chapter 3216: void of consciousness

   At the beginning, the stairs were not too crowded, but when we reached the last ten floors, there were more and more "travelers".
  Because it was too crowded, Angel passively learned a piece of cold knowledge—the total length of the outer corridors on each floor.
  Because there is more than one staircase on each floor of the Ring Fort, since there are many people on this staircase, change it to another one. In the process of going around again and again, looking for new stairs, Angel passively knew the length of each floor of the outer corridor: about three to five kilometers.
  The outer corridor is already so long, and there are countless rooms and shops on the corridor. There are no longer a few with a universe inside, and the effective area will be even larger.
   And this is only one layer.
  The currently known Ring Fort main station has seven thousand floors.
   Just thinking about it, you will know how huge the Ring Fort is. It deserves to be the base camp of the Jingmu Clan. It is a real architectural wonder!
  Of course, during the whole journey, the hugeness of the ring fort was only a small part, and Angel spent more time feeling the large number of people on each floor.
   Right now, for example, they have reached the 5495th floor, and they have walked in the outer corridor for almost five minutes, finding more than a dozen stairs in a row, each of which is overcrowded, and even a gap cannot be squeezed in.
   Enough to see the large number of people.
  There are many people on the stairs, and there are also many people in the aisle. At first glance, it is full of people. Angel even thought about finding a shop to rest for a while, and let Luigi go to Piluxiu's station to add pages, but thinking about the Eye of Thunder, thinking about Piluxiu's various technological inventions, He still endured it.
  It took them half an hour to go from layer 5495 to layer 5500.
  Anger thought that reaching the 5500th floor would be considered as having survived the most difficult time, but he was still too naive. As soon as he reached the 5500th floor, Angel saw a long queue.
   Randomly asked someone in the line to ask, and confirmed that the end of the line was Piluxiu's station.
  Looking at the long queue that could not be seen at a glance, from the clear vision directly to the misty clouds and smoke, with the flashing neon lights of the surrounding shops, Angel felt a kind of cyberpunk tiredness.
  Not to mention Angel, even Laplace frowned.
   Climbing the stairs is fine, but the queue is so long now, and I don’t know how long it will take. Laplace doesn’t want to waste time here.
   Her gaze is on Luigi.
  Luigi raised his hand knowingly: "You guys find a place to rest first, I'll go over and have a look. If you can contact the pickup sage, you shouldn't have to wait in line."
   Without waiting for a reply, Luigi quickly got into the dense crowd and disappeared.
  Laplace and Angel came to a nearby shop called "Pip Ruanruan".
   This is a tooth dyeing shop, except for a dejected red-skinned Pi Luxiu, there is no one in it, which is completely different from the overcrowded atmosphere outside. Thinking about it, I know that the tooth dyeing trend is only popular in Piluxiu, and it may be a little popular in Pipi Castle, but how can it attract guests if the tooth dyeing shop is brought to multi-ethnic gatherings?
  Who would dislike the color of their teeth?
  As for why Angel and Laplace came to this store, one reason is that there are few people, and the other reason is that the signboard says that there is a drink service. …
   They're not here to paint their teeth, but to take a break with the booze service.
  The owner of the shop, that is, the red-skinned Pi Luxiu, when he learned that they didn't dye their teeth, the corners of his mouth drooped, obviously very upset. However, when he saw the crystal that Angel handed over, his smile hooked up again.
  Although there are not many crystals, it is enough for drinks. As for Angel and Laplace taking a break in the store, that's okay in Piluxiu's opinion. Anyway, there is no one in the store now, so their presence should be regarded as popular.
  For this reason, the shop owner also brought them to a window-side location, through which they could see the long queue outside.
   People outside can also see them drinking leisurely inside.
  By creating contrast and comparison to attract popularity... I have to say, this Piluxiu is still
   Some brains.
  However, it is just a little cleverness. If there is great wisdom, the tooth dyeing shop will not be opened here from Pippi Castle.
   Piluxiu's little plan was very good, but it was a pity that he met Angel.
  Angel doesn't like being seen as a "landscape".
   He snapped his fingers lightly, and arranged a small illusion on the glass.
   Looking out from the inside, the line of sight is not affected. But looking in from the outside, you can't see anything, only a piece of pure white wallpaper.
  The shop owner didn't see anything wrong either; he brought the drinks, then went back to the counter and stared out the window without saying a word.
  Angel took a sip of the wine with an unknown package... No success, no bad taste, not bad but not good.
  It is enough to quench your thirst.
  But Wu Ningjing exchanged for such a bottle of thirst-quenching water, it was really not worth it.
  However, it doesn't matter, anyway, their purpose is just to rest, and the drinks are an added bonus.
   "The painting you just mentioned, can you see it now?" Angel put down the glass and looked at Laplace opposite.
  He was quite curious about how the "holographic live broadcast" that Laplace said was operated, and what was the painting about?
   Laplace nodded: "Okay, are you ready?"
"what? What are you ready for? "
   "Go and see the painting."
  Angel froze for a moment, then subconsciously replied: "Ready."
   "Let's go then." The moment Laplace finished speaking, a familiar barrier was built around him.
  Angel was not surprised when he saw the barrier. There might be some mystery in that painting. Since the holographic live broadcast is going to be carried out, it is natural to block everyone's sight.
   While Angel was thinking this way, suddenly, Laplace on the opposite side stretched out his hand, and a strange energy began to condense on his fingertips that were so white that they were almost jade-like.
  The main body of this kind of energy should be aggregation energy, but a part of unknown energy is fused. What kind of energy is it? With Angel's research level on energy, I don't understand it at all. —If Sanders was here, maybe he could understand it, but he couldn't anyway.
   Not long after, the energy of Laplace's fingertips condensed into twinkling spots of light.
  The light spots are floating up and down, looking from a distance, it looks like the flowing galaxy is held by the fingertips.
  " For your safety, I will block your perception and let you enter my field of vision. "Laplace's indifferent voice echoed in Angel's ear. …
   Angel could understand every word in the sentence, but he didn't understand what it meant when they connected it together.
  Just when Angel was about to ask, the streamers on Laplace's fingers slowly began to line up, like constellations, and started their own combination according to a certain orbit.
   "This is similar to an illusion node?" Angel wondered in his heart, is Laplace planning to use these light spots to create illusions?
   Soon, this guess was denied.
  The arrangement and combination of the light spots is very fast, and the composition of the self-structure is completed in almost one or two seconds.
   When this structure was finalized, it did not form any illusion, but a rippling mirror composed of light spots.
  Under Laplace's gesture, Angel stretched out his hand and touched the mirror.
  That is, the moment he touched, Angel felt a faint suction, Angel did not resist, and let the suction pull him into the mirror.
   When Angel opened his eyes again, he found that he had left the tooth dye shop and appeared in an unknown void.
   Surrounded by endless light spots, these light spots are moving fast, like stars lingering around.
  Angel wanted to perceive the surrounding situation, but no matter how he called for the spiritual power, he didn't get any response. Moreover, not only the mental power cannot be perceived, but even the thinking space cannot be perceived.
   It was as if he had become an ignorant ordinary person.
  「No need to perceive, you are now exposed to this
  Power, only makes you lost. "At this time, Laplace's voice rang in his ears.
   Angel looked back around, but did not see Laplace.
   "Where are you? Where is this place? Is it an illusion? What do you mean?" Angel asked.
   After speaking, Angel frowned.
  He felt that he was talking, and he heard his own voice, but it always felt very vain. It's like diving into the water with a swimming cap on. Even though you can hear the sound, there is a sense of alienation.
   "Did you see the light spots around you?" Laplace's voice sounded again.
  Angel nodded, how could he ignore the light spot surrounded by starlight.
   Laplace: "These points of light are me."
  The spot of light is Laplace?
   As soon as Angor was surprised, he heard Laplace say again: "You don't need to be surprised, you can actually be counted as a spot of light now."
  Am I a spot of light too? But Angel looked down at his body, but found nothing abnormal, and he was still in human form.
Laplace: "You can understand that you are now an aura with consciousness. And our position is in a void of consciousness. This void of consciousness has very strange and weird power. If there is no anchor point, It is easy to be assimilated by the surrounding forces. In order to prevent you from getting lost, I put a shell on your consciousness, which is the body you think of now, and this body is also your anchor point.

To put it simply, Angel has actually turned into a point of light, but because the location is a very strange space, if this space does not have a very clear self-awareness, it is easy to be attracted by external forces and get lost. It was also one of the reasons why Laplace blocked his perception. …
  And how to make Angel have a self-awareness, that is to let him have his own body, using the familiar body as an anchor.
  Angel roughly understood Laplace's meaning. His current body is fake, just an anchor point... No wonder he feels that when he speaks, he seems to be speaking, and there is a strange alienation. Because, he is not speaking with the body at all, but a kind of spiritual communication.
  It’s just that Laplace let Angel’s body express it in an explicit way of
speaking
.
  Although he roughly understood the situation, Angel was still a little confused.
  Conscious void... Laplace's description of it gave Angel a familiar sense of déjà vu
  Wang Wang once took him through the void storm and entered the high-dimensional passage. In that passage, Angel also saw all kinds of treacherous scenes. At the same time, according to what Wang Wang said, only he can enter this high-dimensional passage stably by relying on his talent. Totally lost.
  However, Wang Wang didn't know at the time that this dimensional journey was not Angel's first experience.
  The Eye of Extraterrestrials took Angel through a journey of higher dimensions, and at the end of that journey, Angel also learned the ability of the Illusory Gate.
   And the door of illusion is opened by a special method, and you will also enter a fantastic journey...very likely, it is also a passage beyond dimensions.
  How similar are the varieties at that time to those of today?
  Could it be that this so-called void of consciousness is also a high-dimensional journey?
  Angel thinks it is very possible. In the research of many wizards, the concept of "consciousness" does not exist in this world, but in a higher dimension.
   Laplace mentioned that this is called "the void of consciousness". If the concept is empty, isn't it a higher dimension?
   Angel asked about his guess.
  After a moment of silence, Laplace replied: "I can't answer, but the emptiness of consciousness is actually not only for me to enter. I have seen traces left by other lives here."
  「If you really compare it by dimension, it may not be much higher than the dimension we live in.」
  「However, compared to Dimension 1, I feel that this is a dangerous and hidden world of consciousness aggregation, similar to the dream world, which is chaotic and illogical, and it is a mirror field hidden in the depths
   The other side. "
   Whether Angel's guess is correct or Laplace's statement is correct, no one can give a conclusion at present.
  But Laplace, as a frequent visitor to this "world", Angel felt that her answer might be closer to the truth.
  The ability to enter high dimensions is not owned by everyone.
   Putting this question aside for the time being, Angel looked at the surrounding "stars" and asked, "Are we moving now?"
  Laplace nodded: "Yes, the void of consciousness can move faster, but only consciousness can enter. And our destination is where my body is."
  …
   "We're here." Laplace's voice came.
   It is difficult to perceive time in the void of consciousness, but Angel has been communicating with Laplace. If the time is estimated through dialogue, it should not exceed two minutes since he entered the void of consciousness.
   While Angel was thinking about time, the surrounding "stars" began to arrange and combine again. After a while, a mirror reappeared in front of Angel.
  「Same as before, you can leave by touching it...the outside is where my body is.」
   After a pause, Laplace added: "By the way, I will still block your perception."
   Laplace didn't say the reason this time, but Angel speculated that maybe it was also for his safety?
   After all, he had heard from Luigi that the aura released by Laplace's body alone could set off shocking waves.
  If he goes out and senses outside at will, he might hurt himself back.
  Angel naturally has no opinion on this. What he is more curious about now is... what exactly is Laplace's body? -
