Chapter 313 A World Made Up of Four Pieces of Paper
Su Ming turned his head to look at Liu Lingshan and found that he was looking at the huge cave entrance in front of him very seriously with a serious expression.
"Those places you can't go, can I go there?"
"Yes, you can go." Liu Lingshan said, "Let me tell you a secret that all four major alliances keep secret."
"First of all, you have to know that this world is unstable. Once an individual becomes powerful enough, it will disappear from this world."
"Disappear?" Su Ming frowned.
"Yes, disappear." Liu Lingshan nodded.
"Where did you go after you disappeared?"
"There's no way of knowing where it went. It could be that it went to a higher dimension like the devil, but it could also be that it just disappeared. In short, it just disappeared. You don't need to think too deeply about this phenomenon. You just need to know that if you're too strong, you'll disappear.
Then, in addition to this, a powerful individual will feel the 'gravity' from another dimension everywhere in this world!
I will call it gravity, but I don't know what exactly it is.
The Alliance cannot explain this regular phenomenon, but one hundred and fifty years ago , I met a time traveler like you. He said that he came from outside and that he could see the whole picture of our world by observing it from the outside. Of course, they also needed the help of some special instruments.
He said that our world is like four pieces of paper stacked together, with a total of four layers, and we are standing on the second layer.
There are thin places and thick places on these papers. The thick places can bear more "weight", while the thin places can only bear lighter "weight". This so-called "weight" is what we call abnormality. The higher the abnormality of oneself, the easier it is for one's body to break through the paper and fall down!"
Su Ming frowned and listened carefully. This was the first time he heard an explanation about high-dimensional space.
"Then what?" Su Ming asked.
“Then, you need to use a little imagination.
Imagine that you are standing on a piece of paper and don't want to fall down. The best way is to increase the amount of paper under your feet. The more paper you step on, the less likely it is to break. And above our heads, there are two layers of paper.
If you are too heavy and don't want to fall down, you have to climb onto the layer of paper above, which is what we call higher-dimensional space.
If you don’t climb up and stay at the current interface, then as your abnormality continues to increase, the weight will become heavier and heavier, and one day when you step on a thin layer of paper, there will be a loud bang! ... You will fall down. "
Liu Lingshan made a gesture of falling off a piece of paper, with a smile on his face: "This theory is very interesting, isn't it?"
"What will happen if we fall down?" Su Ming asked.
"I don't know, but according to that person's theory, the creatures that fell to the bottom are all very heavy. It's possible that they fell from the second layer of paper, or they could have fallen from the third or fourth layer above our heads.
But no matter which floor they fell from, they must be very strong... The pressure of survival down there must be very great."
"Do you think what that person said is correct?" Su Ming asked.
Liu Lingshan nodded: "It should be correct. I followed his method and once saw the world on the third piece of paper for a moment."
"What's that like?"
"What I saw was an endless wasteland, with a huge shadow in the sky, and nothing else," Liu Lingshan said. "Although I can go there anytime now, I won't go there in the short term. I'm afraid I won't be able to come down after I go up... I have a lot of things to do now, and I'll have to finish these things before I go up."
Su Ming nodded silently, feeling incredible.
He understood why Liu Lingshan had said before that he needed him to catch that person, because there were some places in this endless cave that Liu Lingshan could not set foot in... She was too heavy and would fall if she went to those thin places.
…
Afterwards, Liu Lingshan and Su Ming talked about the target of this mission. The target person this time was extremely special. He was a senior leader . He was arrested because he was found to have embezzled public funds and conducted human experiments.
But the magical thing is that after being caught, this leader suddenly disappeared inexplicably and no one knew about it.
When questioned, the prison guard who was guarding him could not explain anything. The Ministry of Public Security confirmed that the prisoner walked out of the prison in broad daylight by checking the clues left behind when he escaped.
But at that time, he had been injected with a deactivating drug and lost the ability to use his supernatural powers. Without other powers, he would not be able to escape from prison.
Therefore, the Alliance concluded that he had a secret deal with the devil, which allowed him to use his special abilities to escape from prison when he was unable to use his supernatural powers.
After listening to Liu Lingshan's description, Su Ming immediately thought of the mysterious eye.
"That person reminded me of what I told you before, the collective death of the people at the internal meeting, and the eye-like symbol," Liu Lingshan said what Su Ming was thinking, and they thought of the same thing. "You said the name of the organization is Mysterious Eye, right? This organization may have infiltrated the alliance."
"Their ability should be to make others ignore their own existence." Su Ming reminded.
"From that person?"
"Um ."
Liu Lingshan nodded: "The ability they exchanged is most likely this kind. I almost caught him several times, but he ran away in the end. That kind of ability can interfere with other people's minds and ignore the abnormality's own resistance... It's very dangerous and must be resolved as soon as possible."
Liu Lingshan had a serious expression. She was well aware of the dangers of this ability. It made people unaware of her existence and allowed her to do whatever she wanted in many situations.
Stealing intelligence, assassination, eavesdropping, and recording privacy, if all of these uses are used in politics, then people with this ability are likely to rise quickly and become high-level leaders, just like the goal this time.
"So...that person is here now?"
"We used the Freedom Alliance's intelligence platform to collect intelligence, and we have definite intelligence proving that he came to this place," said Liu Lingshan.
"Are you going to kill him this time?" Su Ming asked.
"I plan to launch a sneak attack and cut off one of his legs. That way he won't be able to escape far. Even if he has the ability to hide his presence, as soon as he removes that ability, I'll be able to find him," said Liu Lingshan.
This is the right approach, Su Ming thought, but this approach also has a prerequisite that must be met, that is, Liu Lingshan discovers the other party first, rather than the other party discovering Liu Lingshan first.
"While I'm looking for people, you can go and explore the wasteland. The Endless Caverns is not only known as the hope of mankind, but also as a training ground for those with special abilities. For those who can survive in the unexplored areas of the caverns, their combat effectiveness and abilities in all aspects will be significantly improved in just one month.
Of course, I don’t just want you to open up the wasteland, I also want you to help me find this.”
Liu Lingshan took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Su Ming. It showed a huge lizard-like animal covered in black scales and had a fierce look in its eyes.
"Why are you looking for it?" Su Ming asked.
"There is intelligence that this lizard's abnormality is not normal, so we need to resolve it as soon as possible."
"What constitutes abnormality?" Su Ming asked. Because his identity as a time traveler was revealed, Su Ming no longer concealed his ignorance and became a book of 100,000 Whys.
"The composition of the anomaly... is still quite difficult to explain." Liu Lingshan folded his arms across his chest, looked up at the sky, and seemed to be thinking about something.
After a few minutes, she seemed to have finally figured out the wording and said, "Have you ever read a fantasy novel?"
“I have.”
"Don't the protagonists in novels usually have a storage ring? Just imagine the high-dimensional power that we usually draw from higher dimensions as the items in this storage ring.
Normally, when we walk on paper, our weight is relatively light, so we won’t penetrate the paper and fall down. But if you take the object out of the ring, your weight will become heavier, and the paper under your feet may not be able to support you.
In other words, your own abnormality is your own weight, and the abnormality brought by the high-dimensional force is the items in the ring.
Is this statement understandable?"
"able."
"Okay, now I'm going to introduce the second rule, which is that the high-dimensional power that can be stored in the ring is positively correlated with your own weight. The heavier you are, the more high-dimensional power you can mobilize, which means you can put more items in the storage ring.
The abnormality of the organism itself, plus the external high-dimensional power that can be mobilized, is the sum of the abnormalities of that creature, and also represents the highest combat power of that person.
The above is the most common composition of anomalies. Almost all creatures that can mobilize higher-dimensional forces follow this rule. Therefore, the more powerful the creature, the more limited the area where it can move in this world. Even if those creatures do not mobilize higher-dimensional forces, their own anomalies will not allow them to enter some dangerous areas.
However, there are always exceptions.
Some creatures are very special. They do not follow the most basic rules of abnormality. Their own abnormality has nothing to do with the amount of high-dimensional power they can mobilize. Their own abnormality may be very small, but they can mobilize a large amount of high-dimensional power, which allows them to adjust their weight within a fairly large range.
They can move on paper that cannot bear their weight, and adjust their weight at will, so that they are always at the maximum weight that the place can accommodate. "
After saying that, Liu Lingshan looked at Su Ming. Seeing that Su Ming was staring blankly ahead, he thought that he didn't understand, so he gave another easy-to-understand example:
"You can think of this world as a game, with various areas in the world, and these areas have level restrictions, some areas only allow people from level 1 to 20 to enter, while some areas allow players from level 1 to 80 to enter.
Level 1 players can move around freely in this world, but higher-level players have very limited areas to move around in.
In this world, most people and creatures abide by the rules of the game, but... there are always some people who cheat."
