Schrödinger of the Cat [Interstellar]

"This starry sky looks familiar." The black cat in Xue Yi's arms suddenly said, "The illusion you created in front of Qi Youzhi and Ke Ke before is here."

Xue Yi naturally recognized it, and he also guessed what would happen next.

"The two will fight here because of the decision of the pilgrimage." He put the jade slips back in the air, and held the next one tightly in his hands.

Ares said: "If the ghost was created by Nian Yuxin's shattered consciousness, then...the holy spirit family..."

"The Holy Spirit Race is probably related to the Pilgrimage, but I don't know how they operate." Xue Yi frowned after finishing speaking, "I've heard of the theory of parallel spaces, and I know a little about the concept of multiverses, but I didn’t expect it to actually exist.”

"The pilgrimage in the history of the empire once proposed the definition of a high-dimensional universe, but no one believed him." Ares said, "In his era, ghosts had not yet appeared, and the empire was lonely in the universe, and Arrogant and doesn't believe in intelligent life stronger than us."

He paused, and then added: "From now on, I am afraid that the crazy words of the holy pilgrimage are not unfounded. He used to have a high reputation in the Holy Spirit family, and he probably has seen these jade slips."

Xue Yi asked: "In the long history of the Holy Spirit Clan, there are many people who can enter the sacred artifacts. I don't know why this story has not been spread."

"Don't talk about this story, the stories of the Holy Spirit Race are extremely mysterious." Ares said, "They are very closed, and there are probably very few people in the Holy Spirit Race who can get in touch with the holy artifact."

"And we are all people who have been in contact with other worlds, and our understanding of this memory is much deeper than theirs." Xue Yi added.

Ares was silent.

He did not expect that the empire he grew up was just an experiment in the hands of others.

Qi Youzhi... Nian Yuxin...

He probably has obtained all the memories of his high-dimensional intelligent life.

"Nian Yuxin and Holy Pilgrim were originally brothers, why they turned against each other probably has something to do with this dissertation on contradictory space." Ares said, "Let's continue to read."

……

What was recorded in the jade slips that followed was indeed the battle in the fantasy world that Xue Yi created with the memory of the other party when he was fighting with Ke Ke.

It's just that this time the fighting perspective is changed to the body of the pilgrimage, and some plots that do not exist in Coco's memory appear.

Song of the Holy Pilgrim condensed his spiritual consciousness to forcibly break through the contact points of the contradictory spaces, trying to completely separate the two spaces.

But neither of them understand the nature of the contradictory space. At this moment, an almost blinding incandescent light burst out in the space, accompanied by the distortion and collapse of the space, tearing apart the two starry skies near the point of contact. .

The distortion of space even began to tear apart the spiritual consciousness of Hajjongge and Nian Yuxin!

Seeing that her starry sky was about to collapse, Nian Yuxin finally couldn't suppress her anger, and smashed her fragile mental body into the pilgrimage song!

Pilgrim exclaimed in his throat.

"Are you crazy!" Nian Yuxin yelled, "Dare to violently separate the contradictory space without knowing the situation here! Even if it is us, it will take a long time to recover if our consciousness is torn apart!"

Pilgrimage gritted his teeth: "So what? Except for us, nothing can hurt our lives here. Even if it takes hundreds of millions of years to reassemble our consciousness, the time in this world is just a high point for us. It’s just a mountain! We must separate the two worlds!”

The consciousness of the two collided fiercely, struggling, tearing at each other, and as the two spaces squeezed and collapsed, they shattered into pieces and began to scatter into the two worlds.

"You can't separate them at all! They are devouring each other now!" Nian Yuxin's remaining consciousness was still struggling.

Pilgrim also found out, and he screamed almost frantically: "This is impossible——!"

Nian Yuxin wrapped a small piece of starry sky into her golden-red consciousness, and before it completely dissipated, she stared at the same dilapidated consciousness of the Holy Pilgrim, and said viciously: "Even if I become a ghost, I won't let it go!" You! I will search for your consciousness from every corner of the world! Kick them all out of this space! The instructor will deal with this matter seriously! Don’t try to escape——!”

Pilgrimage: "I will condense myself before you, you can't beat me—!"

At this moment, the two consciousnesses from the high-dimensional universe suddenly split into countless fragments in the two starry skies devouring each other, and slowly dissipated in a chaotic and empty deep space.

……

In the next jade slip, the beginning of the picture is a fog.

With their consciousness released, Xue Yi and Ares realized that their perspective became extremely low, and what they saw was a small cat's paw.

This is an extremely primitive settlement, but man-made fires have already appeared.A naked woman came over, took the kitten into her arms, and helped it comb its hair.

There are not small gaps in this memory.

Followed by a large number of fragmented memories, there is a group of kittens playing together, and there is also a life-and-death struggle among adults who have awakened their spiritual power, followed by about migration, about making pottery, about clothing...

The owner of the angle of view is holding a carving knife, carving out complex patterns on the golden stone stroke by stroke, and carving it into a pendant.Following his memory, he carved his own blood into the seal script on the back of the pendant. The seal script was shining brightly, and in an instant, he entered a narrow space that was half illusory and half solid, and could only accommodate a dozen or so people standing.

The owner of the perspective laughed excitedly: "It's done...it's done...! The Holy Spirit is with me—!"

Afterwards, the memory no longer has gaps, but the owner of the perspective keeps changing.

The main hall and court meeting, the battlefield where tens of thousands of people gather, cold weapons, chariots...the first artillery fire...the invasion of foreign races...fleeing and hiding...

In a large number of memory fragments, every few years there will be a person who can be connected with the golden pendant.They kept transforming the space inside the pendant, and followed in the footsteps of their ancestors to engrave their broken and even incomprehensible memories in the jade slips.

……

"Holy Song, you are the hope of our race!" The old man looked over with a radiant gaze.

The owner of the perspective held the golden pendant in his hand and nodded.

At this time, the appearance of the holy vessel space has changed to the familiar Golden Dragon Hall and Magic Circle that Xue Yi is familiar with, but the familiarity of Shengzhaoge is obviously higher than that of Xue Yi.

He is obsessed with the huge amount of knowledge that this huge space can bring him, and he reads more than a dozen books in this space almost every day.The time here is not synchronized with the outside world, and he can even compress this time difference to a very small one. Often, after reading for more than ten days in the sacred space, it takes only a few minutes for the outside world to pass.

Pilgrimage almost greedily absorbed all the knowledge from the ancestors of the Holy Spirit race.

And then—he discovered the secret of his own origin.

Although he still couldn't understand it, he guessed that only by devouring the spiritual consciousness of all the Holy Spirit clansmen could he return to the complete state in Yu Jian's memory.

This was extremely unimaginable in the cognition of people at the time.

But Pilgrim is convinced of it.

However, his memory suddenly stopped one day without warning.

Since then, there has never been anyone in the Holy Spirit Race who spied on that trace of life.

……

Coming out of the sacred space, Xue Yi and Ares sat in the cockpit of Tianshu, silent for a long time.

"I think I still prefer the legend of the Holy Spirit Race." Xue Yi reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth, "At least that legend looks very beautiful, without being so mediocre and violent. If this memory is true, wouldn't the empire have always Very wronged?"

Ares sighed, reached out and rubbed Xue Yi's head.

"There is a reason for this, and this effect will be achieved." He said slowly, "No matter what the ultimate purpose of the ghosts is, in the history of the empire, they are still the most powerful and difficult enemies we have ever encountered. If not There are fragments of the spiritual consciousness of the pilgrimage that carry the genetic code and fall into the intelligent life forms of our universe, and the technology of the empire will not develop so fast."

"At least, the space bridge was brought to us by the Holy Spirit Race. Even those fragments of the Holy Spirit Race's spiritual consciousness that did not inherit the memory of the pilgrimage song, in their subconscious, their understanding of this world will be closer to reality than ours."

"Therefore, the Holy Spirit Race has produced countless scientists in history, and I am afraid that this is also the reason."

Ares said, and glanced at Xue Yi: "The genes on your body come from the pilgrimage song in the history of the empire, and the spiritual power is almost completely the same as him. If there is no accident, the original spirit of your body The body may become the last holy son of the holy spirit family."

Xue Yi laughed: "That's really an honor."

After another period of silence, Ares spoke again: "If this memory is really the same as our analysis, Nian Yu really doesn't take the empire seriously. We are probably just a test case in his eyes. It’s just an observation object. The Holy Spirit he was looking for has already disappeared from this space—and it was wiped out by his own obsession left in the fragments of his consciousness.”

Xue Yi nodded: "So, his purpose now is probably to collect the fragments of his consciousness and restore his own peak strength so that he can return to his own world. That is to say, He may have to devour all ghosts, if not all, at least all ghosts above the lord level."

"In this way, we can indeed cooperate with him." Ares pondered.

"How are you going to explain the empire? If you cooperate with ghosts, you will be court-martialed." Xue Yi frowned.

Ares said: "That depends on whether the empire is willing to listen to my explanation. If Fei Li Na has already mastered the front line of Kerr, it is not a good idea for us to appear there directly. I need to contact the mother concubine first. It’s easier to go the high-level route.”

Xue Yi nodded.

Ares was about to send a video message to the empire, but "Tianshu" suddenly received a video from an unfamiliar communication.Ares sent a message on guard, only to find that it was from Qi Youzhi.

"Aris, thank Xue Yi for me. Without his help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to recover the most difficult piece of consciousness so quickly." Qi Youzhi smiled very warmly in the video, "In return, I can To remind you, there is still a ghost royal family on the frontline battlefield of the empire, but his ability is much lower than the one parasitizing you and Coco, so don't worry too much. It's just...he holds the empire's "God Domain System" in his hand, Be careful when you return."

"Tweer Tabby!" Ares frowned, "The empire is in danger now."

Qi Youzhi's video was not over yet, he added a sentence at the end: "There is a delay in the long-distance communication. If there is an emergency, I will contact you through the 'Shen Gong'." Obviously speaking to Xue Yi.

The voice fell, the video ended, and the communication screen changed back to what it was before.

Ares frowned even tighter: "What did he mean by that last sentence?"

Xue Yi coughed in embarrassment, and explained: "Qi Youzhi's 'Shengong' is somewhat like a holy artifact, it is an independent space, and only the spirit body can enter... The ghosts are connected to each other through There."

"Among the ghosts?" Ares said coldly, "Don't you still want to convince me that you are also a ghost?"

"No, I don't admit that I am a ghost." Xue Yi said, "But my state of existence is the same as theirs. We... are souls that do not belong to this world, so we can enter another space."

Ares chuckled: "According to what you said, I can enter the sacred vessel in the form of a 'general', but I don't actually belong to this world anymore?"

Xue Yi was taken aback for a moment, and after careful consideration, it seemed that this was really the case.

Since Ares can enter the holy vessel, does that mean that he can also enter the 'Shengong'? !
