Chapter 630: Chapter 630 Deep Inside The Edge

Chu Yunsheng sat in the first carriage, Feng Yingxi sat opposite him, and the other two helped the driver in the locomotive.

“Brother Chu, you must not go around aimlessly after the train stops. Otherwise, you may get lost if you are not careful.” Feng Yingxi repeated this sentence several times, and he was still cautious as if the place they were heading was a dragon’s den.

Chu Yunsheng nodded. He was not a natural adventurer. He was just forced to come here and find a way out. The reason why he insisted on bringing Feng Yingxi, who was experienced with him, was to minimize risks.

The train gradually drove out of the dense city area and headed toward the edge. Normally a lot of floating monsters would be attracted by the noise of the train, but today it was surprisingly quiet and there were no floating monsters at all.

The headlights of the locomotive could only shine forward along the railroad tracks. On both sides of the train were dark cities and dark skies. Floating monsters did not appear, and no one knew where they were. Perhaps there was a group of floating monsters gathering two kilometers away, it was just that they couldn’t see them with their own eyes.

When the train speeded up again and the speed began to approach 100 kilometers per hour, it was not far from the edge of the city. In front of the headlights, near the edge of the city, the dense floating monsters reflected the light blue light in the headlights, lighting up a big blue waverly curtain wall ahead.

“They are still killing each other!” Feng Yingxi leaned forward towards the window glass and said with a lingering fear.

The blue curtain wall filled with blue stars was “hanging” on the edge of the city. It was huge, extending as far as the eye could see. Unlike usual, those floating star lights kept falling and disappearing, and the intra-species evolution turned the gigantic curtain wall into the most tragic battlefield.

Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath and held the flaming sword in his hand. The train was about to hit the edge of the city. It was said that once they entered, his surroundings would just be a vast expanse of emptiness. If he went even further, the train would stop.

Feng Yingxi has “lost” two locomotives because of this. They were stranded deep in the edge and could no longer be found. There were not many internal combustion engine trains left at the railway station, apart from the one they were driving right now, there was only one left in the train station.

The blue starlight curtain wall was getting closer and closer, and the huge crowd of floating monsters could be seen through the glass. They were as beautiful as fairies under the light, but they gathered together like worms in the cesspool.

Looking at the situation, probably the floating monsters all over the entire city had joined this battle so that not a single one floating monster floated down and looked at the train that broke into their curtain wall.

“Puff!”

The train went into the curtain wall at the edge, the trembling sound of friction between the train and the air around was very strange, it was like entering a world with a different air density.

Chu Yunsheng immediately felt the tinnitus caused by different pressures inside and outside the eardrum, and then he felt a brief of suffocation, and his body began floated for a while as if he had fallen into the water.

As someone who couldn’t swim, this feeling was very obvious and he could remember it clearly.

When the line of sight was restored, the curtain wall was already far behind the train, and he could see many floating monsters struggling out of the curtain wall like tadpoles and swimming deeper into the edge, but they soon disappeared all of sudden.

“It’s very easy to get lost here, floating monsters are no exception, maybe in their eyes, it is us that disappeared.” Feng Yingxi explained.

At this time, the fat man named Pang Zi walked in from the locomotive and began to explain like an expert, “According to my analysis, this place should be full of fragmented spaces, or the fractured spaces mentioned in the movie, all huddling together and constantly colliding with each other. When two space fragments collided like two pieces of paper that crossed in an instant, we, the creatures that live on one piece of white paper would accidentally move to another piece of white paper, just like what the floating monsters we saw earlier, and when the two pieces of white papers separated again, we or the floating monsters would disappear from each other’s sights because we were no longer in the same space fragment. Later on, maybe once the two same fragments collided with each other again, those floating monsters we saw earlier would reappear again.”

Pang Zi’s theory sounded quite believable, but Chu Yunsheng didn’t believe it much. From the moment he crossed the curtain wall, he could feel that the dimensions here were extremely chaotic, always swinging between three and four dimensions, like there was a stick constantly stirring the dimensions here, forming a huge “vortex”. And those monsters were thrown out of this area by the centrifugal force.

Of course, this vortex did not exist, but Chu Yunsheng couldn’t explain this feeling. Pang Zi thought that the collision of space fragments caused the floating monsters to disappear, but Chu Yunsheng thought that the monsters were thrown away, and then they would be caught by the next vortex, and then probably be thrown away again, just like the nucleus catches the electron, and then releases the electron. They and the floating monsters were all poor electrons wandering in the turbulent and disordered group of atomic nuclei.

This feeling was very strange because it was impossible to determine whether he was thrown out or the floating monsters were thrown out. Standing at Chu Yunsheng’s own perspective, it was the floating monsters that were thrown away, but standing at the floating monsters’ perspective, it was Chu Yunsheng who was thrown away.

It was like they were in a big, micro-world, and the best theory of human beings in the micro-world was quantum mechanics. It seemed that this strange feeling of Chu Yunsheng could also be explained by the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, that was, it was impossible to judge who was thrown out because different observers would have completely different conclusions.

If Chu Yunsheng must know who was thrown out, according to his previous understanding in the hotel, there were two methods. The first one was based on quantum mechanics, and with help from some kind of “device” to measure and detect the respective movements of him and the floating monsters; the second one was based on the assumption of the scientists in Sky City, which he needed to find and use “The Eye of Providence”.

Under the first method, once the measurement was performed, the result of the event would be destroyed. Just like the light has wave-particle duality, if it is viewed as a particle, when it passes through a double-slit experiment, quantum mechanics does not allow the observers to know which of the two slits the photon actually passes through to reach the final interference screen. This part was blocked by god. If the observers must know, then devices could be installed near the slits to capture the photon, and then whichever device captured the photon when it passed through the slit, would mean which path the photon has taken. However, in this way, the photon captured by the device would also be destroyed by the device, and could no longer reach the interference screen through the slit, which meant that the subsequent results would not exist.

Switch to Chu Yunsheng’s problem now. If he was to use a device to detect it, the end result was that no one was thrown away, and the phenomenon would not appear, which meant the test would be meaningless.

So this was the part that God did not want others to see unless the person had The Eye of Providence.

The problem was that the Eye of Providence Chu Yunsheng had, which appeared when he was confronting old man Yi Jing, did not appear this time!

There may be only one reason, although he wasn’t sure, he guessed that the space here was no longer inside the pseudo-monolith!

The pseudo-monolith world was simulated from his memory. Having The Eye of Providence in the pseudo-monolith sounded ridiculous, but it could still make some sense. Therefore, unless it was outside the pseudo-monolith, he believed that he would not have this vague and strange feeling.

But if this was not in the pseudo-monolith, then where was this place?

The train had entered a deep place, the rails in front were disappearing section by section, and the power system was gradually declining. Now the train was completely relying on inertia to “fly” in the vast and empty world.

The deeper they went, the more resistance the train would get. Sitting in the carriage, Chu Yunsheng could feel a strong stagnation force until the entire train was completely forced to stop.

“Get off!” Feng Yingxi saw the train stopped and immediately pulled Chu Yunsheng away.

Before Chu Yunsheng even had time to ask why, he felt that the train beneath his feet was sinking. When they, a total of five people “jumped out” of the door, most of the train sank to the empty “ground”.

“The same thing happened last time as well. This is normal.” Feng Yingxi explained to Chu Yunsheng, who was puzzled.

“Where do we go now?” Chu Yunsheng shone the flashlight around to check the surroundings. It was extremely empty, there were no reference objects at all. No wonder people would get lost easily here.

Feng Yingxi smiled and said, “Ordinary people have to rely on their luck, so if they managed to escape from here, they would not dare to come in again. But I know a method.”

Seeing he was very confident, Chu Yunsheng wondered what method it was.

“I will lead the way, you follow behind me. Grab the rope we brought, and don’t let go of your hand.” Feng Yingxi was indeed very experienced, he even brought the rope.

He took the lead, Chu Yunsheng was second, the driver was in the middle, the fat man was the fourth one and then the last one was Pi Yan.

As soon as they moved, Chu Yunsheng immediately knew what method he used.

Feng Yingxi concentrated his ice energy in front of him, sensing the heaven and earth’s Yuan Qi current around him. He would never follow the energy current but always pass through the area where energy fluctuated the most.

Chu Yunsheng was someone who was very sensitive to energy fluctuations, so without much effort, he figured out Feng Yingxi’s method.

But he didn’t say anything but continue to let Feng Yingxi lead the way. He was not familiar with here, there was no need to take risks.

The journey was very difficult. Every time he passed through an energy fluctuation layer, he felt very uncomfortable as if his body was torn apart and then thrown out. Within a while, everyone started to sweat heavily, but in this cold place, the sweat was quickly frozen, sticking onto their bodies, making everyone feel very uncomfortable.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t know how long they had walked. Their movement became more and more difficult. With every step they made, it was like facing the gusts of a strong wind blowing toward them, and they had to push the wind back.

“Almost there!” Feng Yingxi said while shining the flashlight at the front, “Brother Chu, did you see that big bubble? We can only go as far as that place.”

Chu Yunsheng looked up and saw a huge, egg-shaped light blue translucent bubble appearing in the middle of empty land. From time to time, the surface of the bubble flashed past different types of light, and the surrounding white dust-like “matter” would be “blown away” by the light. It was like an ancient artifact that was covered with dust for a very long time.
