Time passes often surprises people.
New things will suddenly grow into giants, and the old concept is thrown into the pile of old papers in the blink of an eye. The small bookstore that has been wandering for a lifetime is told that it is a door at one moment.
Zheng Qing was quite shocked by the magical ability of pretending to be "all" books.
Now the gentleman told Zheng Qing again that Sanyou Bookstore is a door.
A point of intersection between the present world and the high-dimensional world.
This made Zheng Qing feel panic and a little more indescribable pride - what's so great about the high-dimensional world? When I was a child, I squatted on its threshold to learn to draw talismans!
“How do they connect?”
The young wizard couldn't help but be curious and asked.
He carefully searched the pictures related to Sanyou Bookstore in his memory, trying to find something "high-dimensional". But except for the sunlight scattering a small colorful shadow on the edge of the glass through the bookstore window, Zheng Qing could not imagine what was similar to the colorful place outside the leaf boat.
"At the level you are now, it is indeed difficult to understand this problem." The gentleman took out a book called "The Jade Box" from his arms and spread it in front of the young wizard: "—You can try to learn from other things. Just as I mentioned just now, "books" are the intersection between the two-dimensional world and the three-dimensional world. How do they connect?"
How is the world in the book connected to the real world?
Too many ways.
In just a blink of an eye, Zheng Qing thought of many ways - such as making the stories in the book into movies or cartoons; such as imagining the scenes in the book in his mind; and such as directly finding cases similar to the stories in the book in reality, etc.
All these methods cannot bypass a certain medium.
"Through a certain 'dimension line'?" Zheng Qing's tone was a little uncertain: "For example, the picture in the book in my mind should be that 'thinking' connects the world in the book and the real world..."
“Better than I thought.”
The gentleman nodded with satisfaction: "I originally thought you would say that through the intermediary of 'people'. Yes, the difference between high and low dimensions lies in the dimension lines, so the intersection point of them will only be another dimension line, a dimension line between existence and non-existence, which can penetrate the high and low dimensions at the same time."
"Virtual!" Zheng Qing shouted out the noun in his mind - if I remember correctly, "Thinking" is a very famous Virtual.
The gentleman raised his hand slightly and signaled the boy not to be so excited: "The intersection point where the Sanyou Bookstore is located is caused by some 'virtual dimensions' that unintentionally penetrate different dimensions."
While speaking, he turned his head, reached out to catch a stream of light from outside the leaf boat, and raised it to Zheng Qing: "——What do you think it is?"
The flowing light was as thin as a gossip, almost transparent throughout the body, but it also had many colors blooming all over the body, like a lively little snake, struggling hard between the gentleman's fingers.
Zheng Qing recalled his earlier experience and hesitated: "...is it a timeline? Well, a timeline? I mean, it should be an incomplete section..."
The boy felt a little bit exhausted, and I don’t know how to describe his feelings. The gentleman did not give the boy more opportunities to guess, but gave a very precise definition and explained in detail: "This is a small possibility of the future. In high-dimensional space and time, the present, the past, and the future are composed of such different possibilities entangled together and together. At each moment, countless possibilities disappear, and countless possibilities are born. Before it becomes truly 'reality', these possibilities are like fish in the sea, biting, swallowing each other, constantly combining the same kind until the 'maximum possibility' is born... It is a shark, which must constantly swim in the long river of destiny and receive baptism of one round after another, otherwise it will be drowned by the mighty tide of the times. Now, if there is a chance to let this shark cross the cruel battle and come directly to the world, what will happen?"
Zheng Qing couldn't help but shudder.
"The possibilities of the future reshape our reality?" he replied in a low voice.
"That's right."
The gentleman nodded slightly, flicked his fingers, and bounced the 'small possibility' back to the colorful world outside the leaf boat: "——This 'small possibility' is similar to thinking, and is both a virtual existence. But unlike thinking, they have a higher 'subjective initiative', so they can chisel the solid shell of the high-dimensional world and smuggle it into the world. The task of Sanyou Bookstore is to expel, suppress, and even kill these 'small possibilities' that appear without permission."
Zheng Qing swallowed quietly.
It feels a bit numb.
He smiled very hard and argued in a low voice: "...Sir, I'm not modest, but now I can only be regarded as a small legend of side doors. Can I guard this door? I can't even catch that 'slight possibility'! Isn't it more reliable if you ask Vice President Ruoyu, Ms. Shi Hui, or simply leave it to the relevant departments for supervision? "
The gentleman looked at him with a subtle expression.
"I just want to hand it over to the relevant departments." He had a smile on his face, but he did not give Zheng Qing a clearer explanation at the first time. Instead, he reached out and pinched a spell and whispered: "——Qi!"
The colorful light suddenly surged.
Zheng Qing closed his eyes after being stabbed.
When he felt the outside dim again and opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that he was standing behind the window of Sanyou Bookstore - the Sanyou Bookstore on Bouji Island.
The store is as crowded as ever, with books on the shelves, but there are no traces of Huanghuali.
Click.
Click, click.
On the clock hanging diagonally opposite the wall, the seconds hand swung back and forth between a square, making a crisp sound, but it was always unwilling to jump forward another word.
Outside the window, the red and black that covered the sky and the sun still enveloped the entire Buji Island, causing the whole world to become dark. The huge color blocks that penetrated red and black, and the silver-white starlight falling from strands stopped in the air, exactly the same as what Zheng Qing saw in the picture.
The whole world was pressed.
"——Some people say that every time the needle beats, it records the footsteps of time moving forward. At some nodes, a small step of time is a big step of fate."
