Plane of Dreams.

Although it has been hit hard in the "world collision" a long time ago, and has become a vassal plane of another universe, Plane of Dreams is still a vast world for most mortal civilizations. There is a vast universe. Deep space has countless ancient galaxies and new stars, as well as countless dark spaces buried in the deepest space that no one has ever dabbled in.

In the center of the universe, almost all of the ancient nebula has been transformed into waste heat. The bright and bright Milky Way now has only large pieces of dead shadows and ash remnants. The light is passing away, and it is becoming an extremely precious thing here: one by one. The extinct stars are dotted with few lights in this deep darkness, and each cluster of embers is a fortress. These stars, which are barely collected and lit in the exhaust of the nebula, are extremely rare, and they are separated by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of light years away from each other. Their candlelight cannot illuminate this forgotten and gradually Into the deep space of the dead universe, no life can be nourished, at least conventional life.

Without life, there is no spiritual operation, no thought activity, and the evil forces in the cage have no possibility of escape.

Then the cage remained silent for thousands of years, keeping silently the passage of time.

But here is not completely without any life.

The “night watchers” who guard the cage in the dark live here. They set up strongholds around a cluster of embers of star fire, monitoring the dark abyss in the deepest part of this dead space, listening to their own side, even the most. A little bit of sound.

Silence is like death. This is the normal state of this cage. Not only is there no sound in the cold and dead universe, but also the tremor of the starlight is strictly controlled. There is no mortal race survival here, and the sound between the hearts. Naturally there is no way to talk about it-everything is to stop the suppressed force from breaking through the blockade. But even so, the vigil has its own way of communication.

These ancient creatures have mastered the know-how to protect their hearts and are blessed by gods. When they talk through the resonance between the stars, the evil forces that are suppressed deep in the cage are powerless.

A lone star located at the boundary of an event outside the dark abyss is slightly brighter, sending out a series of messages beyond the speed of light that are unintelligible to ordinary species. This string of information quickly spread across the entire star zone and immediately triggered Reply from several nearby stars.

"No. S-26, control your frequency, don't have unnecessary conversations."

"Reply S-26, not unnecessary conversation, has been shielded from the mind, this tremor is safe."

"What did you find?" A message from the middle of the dark abyss was inserted.

"The founding star has been extinguished for more than one hundred time units. According to the agreement, the time will now begin."

"What can happen to the outside world?" The source of the signal in the middle of the dark abyss continued to question.

"A quiet, very quiet, preliminary estimate that more than 90% of the life lights have been extinguished, and a small part of the deep space area is like a critical point."

The stars are silent for a period of time, which may be only a few seconds, or may be as long as several days. At the tipping point of the dark abyss, the passage of time has become very strange, and the night watchmen are not even used to recording things through time. For them, the passage of time is the progression of one event after another. In two events In the long silence between, time is meaningless.

If it was not to record how long the war had passed, the night watchmen had long abandoned the concept of "time".

After a certain period of silence, the border monitoring station S-26 suddenly sent a message again: "W-17, I heard a loud noise from the deep space, what happened there?"

The signal came from the middle of the dark abyss: "It is trying to break through the outer wall."

A new signal came from a star millions of light years away: "More and more frequent."

"There is still no news about the ark and fire left by the Goddess of Creation. The guardians she has made have not returned to normal. It seems that the pollution that was leaked out was more serious than expected," W-17 Very abnormally said a long paragraph, "We must be prepared, I am afraid the situation will continue to deteriorate."

"The situation will continue to deteriorate," S-26 agreed. "We must cherish the use of manpower and not do things that are not suitable for us. In a hundred time units, we have lost many guards."

"But the necessary inspections should continue," W-17 said. "The universe is still changing. Some things we do n’t understand have been produced and are spreading. S-26, remembering that you used to What did you find? "

“Yes, I ’m impressed with them—the expansion rate is astonishing, and it is highly disciplined, even more disciplined than ours. Now they have spread to thousands of galaxies, and the expansion rate The spread has increased dramatically, I am afraid that one day, they will cover the entire universe. "

"How much do we know about them?" another source from the middle of the dark abyss asked, "How do they make themselves?"

"In an incomprehensible way, those things seem to be able to replicate themselves continuously without material resources, whether in a barren or rich star zone, the expansion rate never slows down. I once observed that in a Thousands of such things suddenly popped up in the material vacuum area of ​​celestial bodies—almost out of thin air. "

"What is their purpose? Are they harmful?"

"Unable to tell, they seem to have highly intelligent life, but lack the purpose of intelligent life. They are just constantly expanding, and there are a lot of incomprehensible nests and outposts in the universe, but in In this process, they neither attack anyone, nor occupy any planet-they seem to be more keen to stay in space for observation than landing on the planet. So I ca n’t determine whether those things are harmful, I can only determine that they are threatening . "

S-26 ’s message was just sent, and another outpost on the border also responded: “There is supplementary information. I have observed that they have a considerable degree of force, and in certain accidents, they can easily Destroy the wandering celestial bodies that threaten their nests, and the proportion of these armed individuals in their entire group is rising rapidly. Perhaps the expansion of those things has reached a certain critical point, and now they are gradually turning to force mode. "

S-26 also spoke again: "Supplementary information, observed that their expansion direction has changed, and is changing from unintended expansion to directional expansion. Their vanguard troops seem to be coming here."

The new supplementary information silenced all the night watchmen. After a brief silence, W-17 sent a message: "Their behavior patterns are changing. I think we should increase their monitoring."

"Perhaps a more proactive response?" asked a border post, "such as facing up."

"This should be an action taken when there is no other way, S-77," W-17 said, "We must ensure the stability of the internal line of defense. Once 'it' breaks through the wall, the harm will far exceed any disaster. . "

"Agree." "Agree." "Agree."

In the cage of the silent dark abyss, the resonant conversation between the stars gradually calmed down. This star area, which has not been observed by anyone and has never been involved in, has once again returned to death, as if it were here, now, There will not be any vitality in the future.

And in the silence, the last whispering sound suddenly broke the silence: "W-17, what is the situation at the deepest critical point?"

“There is no reason at the tipping point, 'It' completely occupied its cell, there is only endless screams and hustle and bustle, but the last post on the defense line is still sending messages, N- 66 is leading other outposts to block cells. "

"... W-17, my brother, do you still remember the idyllic era of cosmic peace and harmony?"

"... S-26, my brother, like you, I have forgotten."

"For the gift of forgetting."

"For the gift of forgetting."

The night watchmen ’s conversation is over, they return to tranquility, and continue to wait for the almost timeless “time” to enter the next node worth discussing.

And far away from this eternal prison, in another cosmic starry sky, a new drone's nest is gradually starting, deep in the nest's criss-crossing alloy frame like biological tissue, The red and blue light began to pulsate like breathing.

A constantly changing face emerged from the surface of the nest. The cluster consciousness of the drone group looked at the dark and deep universe. In the darkness, everything was silent silently.

The deep space of the universe is indeed silent, but to such a degree, it is somewhat unconventional.

After a moment of thinking and calculation, the cluster consciousness issued a series of new production expansion plans.

It has only one mission: to expand, to continue to expand, to the depth and end of the expanding universe! (To be continued.)
