Volume 9: Molten Mine Chapter 476: Dirac Ocean
No! Still no! !
If that was his own shadow, even if the perspectives of the shadow and the real body were swapped, the hook shot out from Ke Lan's hand could not have been on his body!
In the "time stop" state, the taut hook rope is a straight line, and the two end points of the line are located in two completely different directions.
This is not something that can be achieved with a simple sleight of hand... Especially those methods of shielding and interfering with human perception, which are only effective when in continuous operation. Once time and space stagnate, these methods will immediately collapse.
To achieve this, Ke Lan could only think of three possibilities.
The first possibility: I have been trapped in an illusion from the very beginning. Although illusions and the like are ineffective in stagnant space and time, what if "time stop " itself is also part of the illusion?
Just like in the bottomless tiankeng...it was unreasonable that Ke Lan's time stop could last far beyond the original limit, but if all this was an illusion, then it would make perfect sense.
The second possibility is also the simplest and most direct one in practice: there are some small wormholes in this space, the entrance of one of the wormholes is located exactly at the shoulder of the "phantom", and the exit is the corresponding one - the grappling hook shot by oneself passes through the wormhole and hits oneself. It is so neat and straightforward that even those semi-illiterate people who did not complete compulsory education and went to work as laborers in the mines can understand it.
But for some reason, in Ke Lan's subconscious mind, he always felt that this possibility was the lowest.
As for the third possibility, it is the most mysterious one: in this space, the physical laws of the universe have been distorted, and all the basic laws applicable to the real universe are not necessarily correct here - in short, in this ghost place, even the result of one plus one may not be two, not to mention other more outrageous phenomena.
Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the imaginary space named "Dirac Sea", which is a world filled with negative energy and cannot be observed.
The relationship between it and the real world is like the two sides of a coin. The real world is the front side of the coin, and the Dirac Sea is the other side of the coin.
People who live on the "front side of the coin" will never see the back side of the coin.
No wonder there is no light or sound in this world... After all, when in doubt, quantum mechanics...
But then again, the "Dirac Sea" should be a vacuum world, but there is obviously enough oxygen here...
Moreover, the temperature on the bullet casing, the stock melted by the laser... these things should not exist in a world full of negative energy.
With the strength of human body, it is impossible to pass through a natural wormhole without the help of external objects, let alone the "Dirac Sea". Although with the current capabilities of human beings, this space is still a concept that exists only in imagination, but it is obvious that this kind of place is definitely not a place for living people to stay.
Ke Lan felt that if he really entered the "Dirac Ocean" by mistake, there was a high probability that he would be annihilated as soon as he entered...
He felt that his mind was a mess, and the worst thing was that even if he wanted to cut the Gordian knot... he didn't have the "knife" in his hand...
One only regrets not having learned enough when one needs to use it. Although Ke Lan has nothing to do with the term "bad student", his understanding of quantum mechanics comes almost entirely from science fiction movies and online novels... Those screenwriters and authors probably don't even understand what those "high-sounding" terms mean.
"But even if a physics expert from the research institute came here, he probably wouldn't be able to find a way out, right?" Thinking of this, Ke Lan couldn't help but a little more balanced - when facing these unknown things, there is actually not much difference between the top scholars in the human world and illiterate people.
On the other hand, preconceived ideas can make it easier for these experts to fall into some simple misconceptions.
"That phantom must be the key to breaking the impasse, but the problem is that I can't even touch it, so how can I break the impasse... Damn it, I really want to just give up."
Just as Ke Lan sighed inwardly, a sudden strong light filled the surrounding space. Having been accustomed to the darkness, he squinted his eyes and put his hands in front of his face... At the same time, a loud noise also drilled into his ears.
At this time... back to normal space?
Ke Lan slowly lowered his hand, only to find that Hound and the others were staring at him warily, and several agents under Aya even raised their weapons.
"Who are you?" the hound asked.
His eyes were filled with suspicion and although the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the ground, his finger was always on the safety switch.
"I'm Ke Lan." Ke Lan replied. In fact, Ke Lan could guess what everyone was thinking at the moment.
If I suddenly disappear and then suddenly reappear, if it were someone else, I would also have doubts - who knows if the person in front of me is still the one I used to know.
"I need to confirm your identity." The Hound thought for a moment, then asked, "The night before the mission, you, Ivan, and Layton played double buckle. How much money did you lose in the end?"
"I didn't lose money. I was the one who won. The one who lost the most was Layton, followed by you, and—" Ke Lan changed the subject, "We were supposed to play double knockout that day, but Layton was in a hurry to finish the transformation of Valkyrie, so he didn't come. There were only three of us, and we played Landlord."
"What brand of beer is my favorite?" the hound asked again.
"You never told me about this. You just drink whatever is in the refrigerator and you're never picky. But carbonated drinks and beer are usually the first to be finished." In the God Hunting Group, Ke Lan was the one who replenished the refrigerator eight out of ten times, so he knew this very well.
"Okay, last question. What color underwear do you wear most often, Miss Soma?"
"Are you an idiot?" Ke Lan was stunned for a moment, then made an international friendly gesture to the old dog.
