Volume 4: Spacetime Singularity Chapter 17 Walking on the Road in the Sky
"...You heard it all but didn't react..."
"How could I react? Didn't you often mumble like this when you were in middle school? As soon as I got close to you, you started chanting. I was confused for a long time at that time. What was wrong with you..."
In fact, there was no direct physical contact like today. At most, we were just a little closer.
But like every little boy, Fang Cheng also had a period of time when he was full of vigor and vitality when he was in high school. It was still very difficult to endure in that situation.
"Ah? No way, are you kidding me? I don't believe it. You couldn't have heard it since then?"
Anxious.
Whenever Fang Cheng feels embarrassed, he would suddenly become very talkative, and would unconsciously blurt out a bunch of colloquialisms that he never normally says.
Usually, whenever this happened, Ning Yu'an would laugh at him with all his might.
"Hey, I've never laughed at you for this, even though it's really funny."
It was even funnier considering that Fang Cheng usually liked to act serious in front of him.
"You're actually quite interesting. You've been interesting since you were little. Ever since you entered middle school, you've always acted like you knew everything. When you were asked questions, you liked to be mysterious, not wanting others to think you were an ordinary person."
When she spoke, her voice tone rose unnaturally, and it was obvious that she was laughing.
"No, I was a middle school student at that time. Everyone has that period... There's no point in digging up dark history..."
"Tsk, aren't you pretending now? Pretending to know everything. As if everything is really under your control." As she said this, she took her left hand away from the shoulder she was supporting and pointed it at the nose of the boy opposite.
"I know, in fact, you are very scared now, and you really need someone to comfort you."
She couldn't say from which specific details she saw it, but she could tell anyway. This judgment was probably the result of a combination of various information such as tone of voice, actions and words.
When Fang Cheng was poked , he suddenly closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw a red face in front of him.
Well, since you are shy, then don’t do this kind of thing.
"Maybe you're right... But... I think this isn't a good thing. Although we've been together since we were little, too much physical contact is still a bit..."
"No, you are sick. There are only two of us left in the world now!"
OK, it seems like she is really angry. According to past experience, the correct way to deal with this situation is usually to shut up and follow instructions.
The two people maintained this posture for a long time, and the awkwardness in the air gradually dissipated, slowly turning into a situation where someone needed to say something to break the awkward atmosphere.
This situation has happened many times before. According to convention, Fang Cheng would apologize first, but this time, when he calmed down and was about to say something, the other party beat him to it.
"I don't care. There's no one else around. I can do whatever I want." She pressed a little closer to him as she spoke.
Fang Cheng entered a familiar stage. According to his previous experience, he should smoothly move to the next topic at this time, otherwise it would become endless.
"OK, I get it... But it's really tiring to maintain this position. The curvature of your spine is very unnatural... After such a long time, your legs should be healed by now, right? Can you walk now?"
Once Fang Cheng entered the stage where he needed to think about what Ning Yu'an was thinking, his brain would go into high-speed operation, which naturally diverted his attention completely from the touch on his body.
"Hiss... My legs are almost healed, but it's too cold here. I still have to rely on you to keep warm."
There is a reason for this. The ambient temperature where they are now is indeed not very high, probably only around 20 degrees Celsius, but it is not cold.
It might be because I sat on the ground for too long and was exposed to too much cold air, and it felt like sitting on a stone bench in the middle of winter.
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng suddenly inexplicably felt that he needed to apologize. This was what his intuition told him.
"……sorry."
"fine."
"Do you need me to give you clothes to wear?"
"No, I see you don't have anything else to wear under this sweatshirt."
There was another long silence.
"Emmmm... I'm warm now, where do you want to take me?"
"Let's move forward." Fang Cheng swallowed, gathered his emotions, and took a step forward.
That was to overcome my fear of heights. Outside this thin line was the earth's sky, and it seemed like if I took a step forward, I would fall down from there, which was very scary.
"Eh ? Won't it fall? Ah——"
This "Ah——" was very sharp, the kind of sound that only girls can make. One of her hands was held by Fang Cheng and she couldn't break free, so she covered her eyes tightly with the other hand.
The two people did not fall from the other side of the thin line as she expected. She was dragged and staggered for a few steps before opening her eyes. She found that as they took steps, the blue sky in the distance was moving in a strange way, and the position of the thin line under her feet relative to the two people did not change at all.
Ning Yu'an didn't seem to understand the principle behind this, but she didn't want to ask anything. The scenery in front of them was like a 3D movie rushing towards them, and they could clearly feel that the height of the two people relative to the earth was decreasing as they walked.
The scenery on the ground was getting bigger and bigger, the distant mountains slowly opened up before my eyes, and the trees went from being just a blurry bunch of trunks to having leaves visible.
The crumbling buildings spread out before their eyes, and the messy ground became clearer and clearer. Although there was no smell in the air at this time, people still felt vaguely nauseous.
"The space where the two of us are located has only this one dimension that is connected to the space where the Earth is located. Only by moving in this direction can we change our position on the ring."
Since the ring space itself is rotating, people on the interface cannot follow , which requires the third dimension to forcibly establish a connection between the interface and the new world.
"Just as I imagined before, the blue color in the sky is actually caused by high-speed electron flow exciting nitrogen. You have also learned that gas molecules have many energy levels."
"Um……"
In fact, she was not interested in listening to this and just agreed with it casually.
"If it is a photon, assuming that its energy just matches the energy required by the energy level, then the electrons in the energy level will absorb the photon and emit a new photon. This is stimulated radiation. However, this is a high-energy electron flow, and they will directly collide with the electron cloud of the atmospheric molecules to emit light..."
Ning Yu'an nodded habitually, but his attention was attracted by the huge monster in front of him.
The direction they were heading was where the monster was.
