Volume 3 Chapter 116 Lin Xu's mission and the truth from ten thousand years ago
"Don't you know that the dimension upgrade was successful?" Lin Xu finally spoke and talked to the shadow from the past.
“I only know that at that time we finally verified many of our long-held assumptions and confirmed some things at the weak point of higher dimensions, but we also had more doubts. We have a greater understanding of higher dimensions, as well as a lot of confusion about higher dimensions, but we have finally taken the first step towards deconstructing higher dimensions.” The young man paced in place, sighing as if he was recalling the past.
"Yes, at that time, humans had not yet upgraded to another dimension, so you could not understand things that were beyond the scope of human understanding at that time." Lin Xu thought about it and nodded in sudden realization.
"Yes, I am the shadow left behind by the human beings at that time. The humans at that time only had a preliminary understanding of higher dimensions, so my understanding of the world naturally cannot exceed that of the humans at that time. So my upper limit is just the humans at that time. Even if humans upgrade dimensions, my upper limit is still the humans at that time. After all, I am just a shadow. I am different from you. When humans upgrade dimensions, you will also upgrade dimensions, but a shadow is still a shadow." The young man nodded, looking at Lin Xu with calmness in his eyes.
"I was hoping to learn from you what happened to humanity later and where it is now." Lin Xu said with some regret.
"If you want to know these, you've asked the wrong person. However, if you just want to know where humans went next, then I can tell you that humans went to the center of the Milky Way. I don't know anything more." The young man smiled and walked to the side.
With a wave of his hand towards the ground, facilities such as sofas and coffee tables appeared on the ground.
At the same time, he invited Lin Xu.
"Sit down and talk. I also have a lot to talk to you about. I've been here for so long and finally met someone I can talk to. Let's drink some tea and talk slowly."
Having said that, he sat down on the sofa.
With another wave of his hand, a set of tea sets appeared on the table and tea was brewed.
"Okay, let's chat slowly." Lin Xu sat down on the sofa opposite him, and waved to Miss Qiu, Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu and Lu Yao to sit down as well.
However, Mu Xiyue and Nanzhu just looked at each other and neither of them dared to sit down.
After all, these were two members of the Pangu tribe having a conversation, so there was no place for them to sit down.
Or maybe Miss Qiu and Lu Yao don’t have that much awe for the so-called Pangu tribe.
Miss Qiu sat directly next to Lin Xu, and Lu Yao also sat down.
Mu Xiyue and Nan Zhucai also sat down.
So the five of them sat on the sofas in the same row, and the young man was the only one sitting on the sofa opposite.
"I really envy you. If only I had brought a few family members with me." The young man looked at Lin Xu's condition and his face became gloomy.
It seems that I have been suppressed for ten thousand years.
At the same time, he also handed a cup of brewed tea to Lin Xu.
Lin Xu took a bite and put it down.
At the same time, he took out a bottle of Coke from his personal space, took a sip and said.
“I still like drinking this.”
"Coke is not healthy, but for us, it seems that it doesn't matter whether it is healthy or not." The young man said with a shrug.
"I don't know your name yet." Lin Xu asked.
"You can just call me Wang Jian, what about you?"
"Lin Xu."
Wang Jian nodded.
"Okay, let's continue with the topic we were talking about. You must be wondering why I am left here as a shadow since I know nothing."
"really."
"Actually, I know a lot, such as why humans decided to set sail and leave the earth in pursuit of higher dimensions." Wang Jian revealed the big news.
"Why?" Lin Xu sat up straight.
He had been thinking about this question for a long time. Even the girls next to him pricked up their ears and listened carefully, because they were also very curious. The humans at that time had never told this inside story to their clans.
"Why? Sorry, I can't tell you." Wang Jian feinted and then laughed very maliciously.
"You, are you cheap or not?" Lin Xu said speechlessly.
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, but I really can't say it." Wang Jian waved his hands repeatedly.
"Why?" Lin Xu was puzzled.
"It's very simple, because you are special and you have your mission. Before you complete your mission, you cannot let certain things affect your judgment." Wang Jian restrained his smile and said seriously.
"Am I special? Wasn't I in a dormant state due to cancer and was only fished out of the ice ten thousand years later?" Lin Xu asked puzzled.
"You don't really think that being frozen in the ice can allow you to survive for ten thousand years without dying." Wang Jian looked at Lin Xu and said as if he was looking at a fool.
"What's going on?" Lin Xu asked.
"Let me put it this way. When we started the mission, we took away all the individuals who participated in the human cryopreservation program due to terminal illness. Only those who were confirmed to be dead were placed in the ice. It can be regarded as an alternative tombstone!" Wang Jian explained.
"I crawled back from the cemetery? I became a zombie?" Lin Xu suddenly had a sense of déjà vu as if he had walked out of a cemetery.
"Don't talk nonsense. Where did the zombies come from? In fact, if you check the database carefully, you should be able to find it. Before the departure of the voyage, a batch of frozen hibernation chambers disappeared, and they disappeared inexplicably. The name Lin Xu is one of them." Wang Jian replied.
"Missing? I traveled through time and came to the future? No, it was the hibernation chamber that traveled through time?" Lin Xu's eyes widened.
“I don’t know, but when we set sail, we did use the chaos energy and saw from a high-dimensional perspective that someone would come after us in the future, so we left behind Taiyin. But at that time we didn’t expect that you would bring the Earth here.” Wang Jian looked at Lin Xu and complained.
"Well, I'm just afraid of being lonely on the road! By the way, does that mean Taiyin knows that I was one of the people in the hibernation chamber who disappeared that year? And you didn't let him tell me?" Lin Xu suddenly thought of it.
"What are you thinking about? What is left for you is yours. It's your own fault for not asking well." Wang Jian continued to complain.
Having said that, Lin Xu recalled that he seemed to have never thought deeply about why he was able to successfully wake up after ten thousand years.
After all, everything that happened at that time was bizarre enough. He was the only one left on Earth, and all humans had fled. Lin Xu's mind was very occupied at that time, and he never thought about why he was the only one still alive after ten thousand years.
I just thought it was my good luck that others with terminal illnesses who participated in cryonics died, but I survived.
"You just mentioned my mission? What is that?" Lin Xu asked.
"Well, I don't know either." Wang Jian shrugged.
"You don't know either?" Lin Xu looked at him with a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"
"I really don't know, and the humans at that time didn't know either. But when we tried our best to search for key points that would be useful for the future human dimensional upgrading from a high-dimensional perspective, the person who was chasing us ten thousand years later, that is, you, appeared. That means you are very important, although we can't see who you are, nor can we see that you directly opened up the earth. But we know that you are very important to the dimensional upgrading of mankind, and you have your mission. Or to put it more mysteriously, you are a part of destiny, an indispensable part." Wang Jian looked at Lin Xu seriously.
"But humans have now upgraded to a higher dimension." Lin Xu now feels that he is completely confused.
"So what? You have to know that in higher dimensions, time is not necessarily a straight line. Okay, this is a bit pretentious. I don’t know what the higher dimensions are like. You may know it better than me now, but you definitely don’t know everything. In short, in higher dimensions, everything is possible, so don’t underestimate yourself." Wang Jian continued to make tea, and did not forget to put a cup in front of Miss Qiu and the other girls.
"Time, do you think it is possible that it was a human being in the future who had already upgraded his dimension and allowed my past self to travel through time?" Lin Xu thought for a while and said.
“Who knows? Everything is possible. Your time travel could be part of a plan, or it could be just an accident, or even someone could be sabotaging it. We have too little information right now, so it’s meaningless to guess. Instead of making wild guesses, we might as well work hard to get more information.” Wang Jian raised his teacup and took a sip.
"Sabotage? We still have enemies?" Lin Xu asked in surprise.
"How should I know? I'm just guessing, an irresponsible guess, understand? I only know what happened ten thousand years ago. Who knows what the human beings will be like in the future." Wang Jian rolled his eyes at him, looking surprised.
"Okay, then is there anything else you can tell me?" Lin Xu rubbed his temples gently. He felt that he had overused his brain. His head, which had not hurt much just now, started to hurt again.
Miss Qiu, who was standing by, saw this and immediately stood up, went behind the sofa, and gently massaged his temples.
Wang Jian, who was happily drinking tea, immediately felt that the tea in the cup no longer smelled good when he saw this scene.
"Are you jealous?" Lin Xu saw that Wang Jian was unhappy and immediately felt much happier.
This is retribution for asking you to give me the Riddler.
"Envy? I'm not. I'm just a shadow. I don't have those worldly desires, do you understand?" Wang Jian said stubbornly.
"Okay, okay, tell me quickly. Is there anything else you can tell me?" Lin Xu did not continue to stimulate him. What if his defense broke down and he refused to talk?
I was counting on getting more information from him.
"Speak? There's nothing much to say. Just keep moving forward. Sooner or later you will catch up with humans." Wang Jian drank tea with a somewhat unhappy expression.
"No, don't you want to tell me something very important? Otherwise, why did I keep you here? Don't be a jerk." Lin Xu reminded him to pay attention to his work attitude. Can't stand seeing others bring girls? How can you have fun?
"Originally, I had some very important things to tell you, but you've already done everything, so I have nothing to tell you anymore." Wang Jian shrugged.
"What do you mean?" Lin Xu asked puzzled.
"It's disorder and filth. Originally, I stayed here to help you fight against disorder and filth. Who knew that you just arrived here and solved the disorder and filth before you even saw me? So what else can I do? I can only give up." Wang Jian drank tea, crossed his legs, and said leisurely.
"No, what's going on? Are you going to help me fight against disorder and filth?" At this moment, Lin Xu felt the regret of a worker who finished his work before his boss gave him the assignment.
Even though work has to be done sooner or later, it would be unpleasant to do it for the boss in advance.
"You should know that the fleet sailed to the center of the Milky Way mainly to find a way to fight against the disorder and filth, right?" Wang Jian said after thinking for a while.
"Yes, I know." Lin Xu nodded.
"In fact, we knew at that time that we couldn't find a solution, because the person who can truly save Yin Xin is you ten thousand years later." Wang Jian explained.
"Is this also seen from a high-dimensional perspective?" Lin Xu frowned.
"Yes, although not all, but we can see several possible directions. For example, we didn't know how you fought against the disordered filth at that time, but we knew you could do it. But we were afraid that you would get into trouble, so we arranged for me to give you guidance and assistance. Who knew that you would accomplish it before I even appeared on the stage. In fact, this is also a good thing. At least it shows that your ability is above our expectations." Wang Jian nodded.
"But why can't I see where the future is heading?" Lin Xu wondered.
He is now a true high-dimensional creature, and his high-dimensional perspective is open 24 hours a day without blind spots, but he has never seen the direction of the future.
"Well, maybe you haven't mastered the method yet. You know, there are many application methods in higher dimensions. It doesn't mean that higher-dimensional creatures can master them all immediately. They also need to learn. And it's not like seeing the future, but just seeing several possible paths in the future. At that time, we were not even sure whether you, the pursuer from ten thousand years later, really existed. But this was the only way we saw at that time to fight against disorder and filth, so we could only gamble." Wang Jian thought for a while and said.
Lin Xu nodded.
Indeed, when he just woke up on Earth, he was already a high-dimensional creature, but he couldn't even open his high-dimensional perspective.
It was later in the war when he encountered an opponent using high-dimensional weapons that the veil of high dimensions was lifted. He learned how to pry open part of the power of high dimensions from the opponent's high-dimensional weapons.
"So, you are heading to the center of the Milky Way to find a way to fight against the disorder and filth, but actually you are here to find me?" Lin Xu thought about this question again with a strange expression.
Humans from ten thousand years ago came here to look for themselves ten thousand years later.
This is really scratching my head no matter how I think about it.
"That's right, and now we have found it, right?" Wang Jian shrugged again.
"Do you have a cramp in your shoulder?" Lin Xu couldn't help but complain.
"I just like to shrug my shoulders. What's it to you? I'll shrug and I'll continue to shrug." Wang Jian looked at Lin Xu provocatively, his shoulders shaking.
Lu Yao, who was standing by , looked at the two people's performance with a look of despair on her face.
Are all you humans so funny?
Please be normal.
The admiration I have for the Pangu clan that has just developed over the years.
It broke into pieces on the ground with a bang.
Or does it mean that in order to ascend to a higher dimension, one must have this kind of quality?
Even Mu Xiyue and Nanzhu turned away, looking as if they couldn't bear to watch.
Only Miss Qiu continued to massage Lin Xu's shoulders calmly.
It's just a joke! Miss Qiu has studied human history, so she knows that since the Internet age, the number of jokes among humans has increased dramatically, so this is nothing.
"Okay, stop getting nervous. Humans are going to the galactic center next. Don't you know what's going to happen next? For example, what's in the galactic center?" Finally, Lin Xu couldn't stand it anymore and covered his face with one hand. He wanted to say, "I don't know this funny guy, and he's not from the same race as me."
But it seems to be of no use, I can no longer deny it.
"Who knows what's in the Milky Way? But you don't have to worry, because I have received the last message from the fleet heading for the Milky Way, saying that everything is normal. And if something really happened, you would not be a high-dimensional creature now. So don't worry, even if the road is tortuous, we will reach the end after all. As long as we are sure of this, the little bumps on the road are nothing at all." Wang Jian suddenly became serious again.
Lin Xu felt a little uncomfortable watching this.
It's so normal for you to switch between being funny and serious.
It can't be that he has stayed here for too long and his brain has been damaged.
"Okay, so that means the relics I encountered along the way, the complete technical upgrade information, and the complete star map of your next route should all have been left behind on purpose, right?" At this moment, Lin Xu had answers to many of the puzzles he had encountered in the past.
"You've already guessed it, why are you still asking?" Wang Jian wanted to shrug again, but he restrained himself. After all, the same move cannot be used twice against a Saint Seiya, and he didn't want Lin Xu to complain about the same thing a second time.
"Actually, if you want to shrug, just do it. It will be even more awkward if you force yourself to hold it in." However, Lin Xu thought about it and decided to express his opinion.
Wang Jian stopped drinking tea for a moment.
Looking at Lin Xu's complicated expression.
"You must have been beaten often before, right?"
"No, they can't beat me." Lin Xu replied.
"If you have any other questions, please ask them quickly. I don't have much time left." Wang Jian slumped down on the sofa, looking hopeless.
It's not that he will disappear just because this conversation is over. He is just a shadow and will disappear after completing his mission. This is natural.
He wouldn't be sad or upset about it. It was just a piece of information. What was there to be sad about?
"Then let me ask you one last question. If I break through the weak point of the high dimension now, can I directly enter the high dimension? Ordinary low-dimensional creatures naturally cannot enter the high dimension, but I am a high-dimensional creature myself, so there should be no problem for me to enter the high dimension." Lin Xu thought about it and asked the last question.
"Theoretically there won't be any problem, but are you sure you want to do this? What exactly is the higher dimension? Based on my understanding of higher dimensions by humans ten thousand years ago, I can't explain it clearly. Maybe by doing this you can really find humans directly." Wang Jian looked at Lin Xu with a smile.
At this moment, Mu Xiyue and Nanzhu beside them became nervous.
Because if Lin Xu really chooses to directly open the high-dimensional weak point and enter the high-dimensional space, they will definitely not be able to follow him, which means that they will have to separate from Lin Xu from then on.
Even Lu Yao, who thought she wouldn't care that much, pricked up her ears and listened.
Miss Qiu continued to massage Lin Xu's temples, but her slightly faster breathing revealed everything.
However, after thinking about it, Lin Xu slowly shook his head and rejected his own proposal.
"Forget it. If I resolutely enter the higher dimension, even if I don't die, I will probably be lost in the higher dimension. The higher dimension is billions of times wider than the universe. I might as well continue to look for humans here instead of looking for them in the higher dimension."
"Look, you know very well that you just want to seek some recognition from me." Wang Jian spread his hands.
Lin Xu looked at him spreading his hands and resisted the urge to complain.
Lin Xu didn't know why, but seeing him shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, he always felt that he was a bit of a nerd, the kind of person who was obviously a otaku but had to pretend to be cool.
It's like someone who can't act is reading lines from a script, it's so awkward.
Otherwise, Lin Xu’s complaining spirit would not have inflated to such a high level.
However, after all, they will eventually part ways, so Lin Xu thinks he should be kinder.
Leave a good impression, maybe you will meet again in the future.
"Will I meet you again in the future?" Lin Xu had a feeling that this would not be the last time he and Wang Jian would meet.
"Well, it should be possible. Anyway, since humans have mastered this technology, there might be traces left in the ruins in the future. And with my personality, it's likely that I will be the one left behind. After all, everyone else is socially anxious, but I'm more socially adept, a nerdy scientist, you know." Wang Jian shrugged again. He didn't want to pretend anymore. He would be criticized anyway, so why should he control himself.
"Are you sure you are a social expert and not a fool?" Lin Xu finally couldn't suppress his desire to complain.
"Of course I'm a social expert. I'm the most sociable person in our laboratory. I'm the one who appears in public and faces the media." Wang Jian immediately said with pride.
Well, just like Lao Mi's Dawei, no matter how much he appears in public, he can't hide the smell of a otaku.
The big one among the otakus, right? Lin Xu said he understood.
No wonder it feels so awkward.
"I know, I know. It's nothing else. I'll take my leave now. See you next time if there's a chance." Lin Xu stood up.
Mu Xiyue, Nanzhu and Lu Yao, who were sitting on the same row of sofas with him, also stood up.
Wang Jian also stood up from the sofa and waved his hand, and the sofa, coffee table, etc. disappeared.
"Okay, let's go. After I disappear, you can move here if you want. There's enough space on Earth anyway. I can say I'm going home now." Wang Jian seemed a little happy after saying this.
"Okay, I'm on Earth and helping you choose a cemetery." Lin Xu said with a smile.
"Fuck, you cursed me, then I wish you can come and keep me company as soon as possible." Wang Jian raised his middle finger at Lin Xu.
