Alice's Dream Club

What Lynch thought of was the black cracks that gave him a headache when he first came to the club on that deserted street.

Looking directly at the rift felt as if he was about to be pulled out of the world. At that moment, he felt the sensation called death, but he never felt afraid of this emotion.

Of course, he was mainly frightened by Alice's phone call at the time, but in any case, apart from the stinging pain, not only did he not feel fear in the face of the confusion and emptiness that returned to the original, but he also felt a subtle familiarity.

When he saw nothingness again, it was the first time he met Death Song. The emptiness outside the platform brought him the same feeling he had before joining the club. At that time, he did not think and recall the wonder in his heart. He was not allowed to be distracted before he was about to face Death Song.

The present moment should be the third time, or the third time of actual contact.

Although it has not really touched "outside the universe" until now.

Alice was still busy, and the first control made her so flustered that she almost smashed the console in front of her with a slap on her blood pressure.

Lynch offered to help, but Alice gently refused.

"Go away, don't make trouble."

... So Lynch sat back on the sofa he moved from the club, trying to adjust his connection with the club.

When he reaches the outside of the universe, he will definitely lose contact with the club. In the squeezed space, it is not sure whether the communication can still be maintained. Therefore, in order to avoid the possibility of being kicked off the network cable by volleying at someone's water spring, he needs to ensure that the two are at any time. can retreat.

At least let Alice go back.

She still has authority, as long as she is still there, no matter what happens, the plan can continue to be carried out...

"Telling you to go away is not to make you hold back your bad fart!"

Lynch: "..."

So it's really hard to have a god girlfriend. She can not only grasp the little things in your mind at any time, but also kill you when you are in a bad mood, then resurrect you, kill you and resurrect you.

These days are miserable!

After being stabbed to death by Alice's clone several times, the revived Lynch brought his thoughts back to the past.

It is said to face three times, but it actually counts as four times.

He had already seen it once when welcoming Alice back, but the difference that time was that he didn't feel any impact of stripping and returning, and he could create anything he wanted in nothingness, including the most basic pheromones.

Theoretically, a universe administrator should not have this kind of creative ability, and the person with authority is born in the universe, not the nothingness outside the universe.

Those with authority can control everything in the universe, but they cannot extend their power beyond the universe. They are just managers, not the true gods who create everything.

The illusion at that time has been confusing until today, and now that he finally has the opportunity to face nothingness, Lynch naturally wants to find out whether that experience is just an illusion of his own.

It was rare for Alice not to pay attention to Lynch on this thought, maybe it was related to her busy diving, or maybe she... might know something.

"Get ready to dive."

Following Alice's order, all autonomous robots quickly connected to the system.

"Three seconds count down.

"three

"two

"One, the dive begins!"

The moment the voice fell, there was a violent vibration from the hull, and then, a strange roar echoed in my ears, like the strange sound of steel deforming under heavy pressure, and it seemed that something was hitting The shell of the spaceship.

The sound became more and more violent, and the trembling of the hull also became more violent.

When the vibration was enough for people to be unable to maintain their body balance, all abnormalities disappeared suddenly, and the interior of the spaceship returned to calm in an instant, as if nothing had happened just now.

Lynch raised his head and looked at Alice, who was also shaken so much that she had to rely on it to support her. The latter responded affirmatively to the former after a brief inquiry.

"Not bad."

"..."

She almost regarded the joking setting as her obsession.

"Theoretically, we should have dived to the outside of the universe. The best proof is that all the sent data has been forcibly reduced to nothingness."

Wen Yan nodded: "Just say but."

"But the beacon positioning is also in the form of a signal, as long as it is sent out, it will be restored, so... how do we track Helheim?"

"……you ask me?"

Alice's nod did not contain a trace of teasing. Obviously, she was implementing her own style: taking Lynch as the backbone.

To be reasonable, even if I used to be a great power, but I have nothing now, and I can’t do anything even if I want to do something in the current situation. Asking myself what to do now is really in response to an old saying: It’s better to ask the legs of the table Woolen cloth.

But he still had to think about the solution, so after a short period of contemplation, he finally found a solution that was not a solution.

"You...forget it..."

Alice gave up blocking, she clearly sensed Lynch's thoughts, but at this moment she couldn't think of a better reason to persuade Lynch not to take the risk.

Lynch was very moved by Alice's thoughtfulness, and then he wished that Alice would obstruct his thoughts unreasonably: because he himself felt that the next thing he had to do was very special - to release his perception and enter the universe.

He never had unreasonable "dreams" or saw unfounded "visions", especially after he came to the club, every dream or vision he saw was fulfilled one by one in the subsequent time.

Since he has seen concepts created in nothingness, then perhaps this is the time for that illusion to come true.

Alice still didn't say much, she just came to Lynch's side and held his hand tightly.

Patting Alice on the head, Lynch calmed down, let go of the telepathic network as a manifestation of consciousness, and slowly probed out of the protection of the hull.

At the moment when consciousness came into contact with nothingness, what flooded into my mind was not the expected pain, but a wonderful coolness.

This kind of coolness is like pouring cold water on one's head on a sultry day. It is refreshing and gives people the illusion of being intoxicated in that comfortable feeling.

Immediately afterwards, Lynch's vision turned into pure nothingness.

There is no concept in the sight, he doesn't know what he sees, whether there is color in the sight, and he doesn't know what he doesn't know.

This feeling is very strange, like a newborn baby, full of confusion and curiosity about everything.

Although all this is just "nothingness".

He urgently needs to give a "definition" to these nothingnesses, so that he can understand his own environment, why he is here, and what he is... exactly.

The fascination and novelty still hit Lynch's spiritual barrier, he seemed to feel that his consciousness was going to drift away, and he seemed to want to integrate into everything around him.

Perhaps this is the feeling that the new human beings will encounter when they are about to be liberated?

Lynch teased himself in his heart to calm himself down in this way.

When the mood calmed down, he started to try according to the illusion he had experienced, and he spread the concept of information to the surroundings, and then he needed a "vector".

What surprised him happened the moment his thoughts spread:

He received the concept of "information".

Although this concept was quickly shattered and reduced to absolute nothing, this situation told Lynch that the nothingness outside the universe can be given and changed temporarily.

Lynch wanted to tell Alice the good news immediately, but when he wanted to take back the consciousness network, he was horrified to find that he seemed to have left his "body".

He became a mass of consciousness floating in this void, as if he was worried in the buffer zone - he couldn't find the "way" back.

Be calm, be sure to be calm.

Lynch warned himself.

Forcibly stabilizing his emotions, he did not quickly try to figure out his current situation, but called out.

If Alice can hear her own "voice", then things must be turning around.

The soft call was answered in a short time, and Lynch also found a light like a spark in the nothingness.

"……what's wrong with you……"

Before Lynch could speak, Alice asked anxiously.

"You disappeared suddenly. What happened? I can no longer perceive you in my perception. What's going on with you! What happened! What the hell are you..."

Lynch tried his best to "approach" the spark, and he gave "self" the definition of a vector, until the spark rapidly enlarged as he approached, and Lynch also returned to the bridge of the spaceship in the sudden light.

"Fuck...!?" X2

Lynch and Alice exclaimed in unison, he was surprised that he was able to return to the bridge, and Alice was shocked by Lynch's state.

At this time, Lynch was in an indescribable form. He was like a cloud of mist shining with misty starlight, or a ball of light that kept changing.

He lost his original human form, and at first glance, he seemed to be the star cluster in the depths of the universe observed by humans.

Knowing that he lost his human form, Lynch's entire "group" shrank violently. He tried to define his own form, and then, a naked man appeared in front of Alice.

"spit!"

Lynch naturally knew what Alice was spitting on, he transformed into a suit of clothes, and at the same time told Alice what he had just experienced.

Alice seemed to be relieved after the initial surprise, and even now when she looked at herself, she faintly revealed an unexpected and reasonable contradictory smile.

Seeing that smile, Lynch frowned slightly.

"Did you discover something when you connected the universe?"

"Well," Alice nodded, "Strictly speaking, it's the message you left behind, which is why I didn't stop you from committing suicide this time.

"This message seems to be triggered after coming out of the universe, and I was desperately trying to connect to my universe to find you, only to know that there is such a message:

"As the first life in the universe, we have the core characteristics of the universe. Since the universe can maintain a self-consistent existence in nothingness, then we should also be able to, but this is just your inference, and it has not been tested in practice."

"etc!"

Lynch keenly captured the core of what Alice wanted to express.

"...You mean...I now...have authority!?"

Although Alice had a natural smile, anyone could see the disbelief in her eyes.

"Well, and it's not just as simple as permissions."
