Chapter 47: Time Turbulence
Summoning time turbulence is not a difficult matter.
Because time turbulence is a space that complements the space we are in, originating from the continuity of cause and effect.
The time corridor that Lonis traversed when replicating the power of the Dark Abyss, and the time corridor that Siria led everyone back to when Luo Zhisheng was young, both belong to time turbulence.
The truly difficult part, however, is rescuing the companions, including Luo Bei, from the time turbulence.
This is a great challenge because Luo Bei has already inscribed their fate in the Book of Fate, so the girls cannot rewrite their destiny again. They can only try to search for their traces and guide them back.
After making preparations, the girls had set off.
…
…
“Wh-what is this place?”
“Is this the inside of the space-time turbulence? It’s so… so strange…”
…
The girls arrived in the time turbulence, but the scene before them was like a world constructed by a mentally ill person, appearing utterly absurd.
They stood on a giant stone, and above them was not the sky, but an endless, inverted ruin of a city.
The space below was not the ground, but a boundless, ethereal sea of clouds, like a vast lake.
…
Looking up at the city, you could vaguely see countless streams of traffic on the roads, but if you looked closely, you would find that those streams of traffic were not cars at all, but strange objects that no one could name.
For example, there was a naked man with his hands and feet modified into car wheels; for example, there was a large soda bottle, but at the mouth of the bottle was a human mouth.
The houses were also incredibly bizarre. Some looked like beverage boxes, some like shower gel, and some even like Armstrong Cylons.
…
The lake below made people dizzy as well.
Because from a distance, you could see that the ocean was calm, just like looking at the sea of clouds pierced by the morning sun from a snow-capped mountain, with only a vast depth.
However, if you looked closely, you would find that the sea of clouds was not composed of clouds, but of individual words.
Chinese, Latin, English, Spanish, Japanese, Oracle bone script, ancient knot language…
Countless words, whether understandable or not, were piled up chaotically in the void. If you looked closely for a moment, your brain would completely enter a dead loop and shut down, no longer recognizing any words in the world.
“Wuwu!”
“Senior Luo Zhisheng, are you okay?”
…
Fortunately, the girls were not ordinary people. They had experienced many ethereal places like the Vast Sea and the Wastewater Center… Their past experiences came into play at this moment, preventing them from being completely bewildered.
Luo Zhisheng also took a deep breath, trying her best to adjust her emotions:
“So… so strange! I feel like my head is in a dream.”
“!”
“Clearly, my consciousness seems to be extremely clear. But it seems like my body doesn’t belong to me anymore? This feeling is so bewildering… Senior Elus, I won’t be a burden, right?”
“Mm, Senior Luo Zhisheng, it’s okay. Because this place is like a dream world,” Elus sighed and said.
“A dream world?”
“Yes, in fact, human dreams themselves represent a kind of supernatural ability of humans… Although we are so clear about our position and cognition in reality, in dreams, we often lose ourselves, and even forget who we are.”
“!”
“And at those times, our souls have actually been swept into the time turbulence. However, in the material world, souls rely on matter for existence, so no matter how the surrounding scenes change, we can return to ourselves when we wake up… But if even the body is lost in it, then perhaps we will even forget our own existence.”
“What you mean, junior Elus is…”
“Mm, that floating rock in front of us? Everyone saw it, right? And in reality, it should be… Lonis, lend it to me.”
“Ah!”
…
When Elus grabbed her fox tail, a power from the Rainbow Abyss spread forward.
And then, miraculously, something happened.
Under the influence of the power, those stones gradually changed their forms—first becoming stone statues, and then slowly gaining color, turning into people.
“This!”
“Mm, they should be members of the Cygnus. It’s just that they treated themselves as stones, so they turned into stones.”
“In that case, can we rescue them?” Bai Ye asked with joy, but Isumi shook her head, “It’s probably not possible yet, because all the members of the Cygnus are a whole. We must find them all before we can summon them back.”
“Oh…”
“And at least, we have to find Captain Luo Bei to wake everyone up. Otherwise, even if we summon everyone back, they might turn into objects.”
“Objects!” Lonis was also stunned, because she realized that this situation was somewhat similar to the effect of evolved beings.
In that case, did the power of evolved beings also have something to do with time turbulence?
Both could turn people into objects. Perhaps this was some law of the four-dimensional space?
…
…
Thus, in order to find Captain Luo Bei, everyone continued to move toward the depths of the time turbulence.
There was no gravity here, and the way of advancing was not entirely dependent on the body. Many times, if you thought about going to a certain place, your body would follow suit and move toward that area.
This feeling was undoubtedly very wonderful.
Not to mention, as the girls advanced, they saw more interesting things.
“What is that thing!”
“It looks like solidified rainbow, doesn’t it?”
“Oh… it looks like a light and fluttering ribbon, so amazing…”
Lonis reached out and touched that rainbow, and a very strange feeling was passed along her fingertips—her fingers had passed through the rainbow, but she felt a sense of intertwining.
Because of this, Lonis suddenly had a thought: If this was used as stockings, wouldn’t it be very comfortable to wear?
But she never expected…
The moment she thought of it, these rainbows actually turned into stockings and flew towards her legs.
“Wow!”
Lonis was startled. Because her legs were now emitting light and looked extremely radiant—the ankles were purple, and the thighs were red!
Although being wrapped by the rainbow was truly beautiful, Lonis felt like the heroine in a Mary Sue novel, which was too gorgeous.
Moreover, the feeling of being wrapped was also very strange. The moment Lonis moved her legs slightly, her body felt like it was generating electricity, sending a tingling sensation.
…
“El-Elus! Wh-what’s going on? Was I attacked by time turbulence?”
“Hmph, little idiot, you’re really too silly! You haven’t even realized such a simple thing.”
“Uh?”
“The rules that make up this world are the complete opposite of our world? That is to say, the place we live in daily is a materialist world, while this is an idealist world.”
“!”
“Although matter also exists, it is entirely based on the mind. If you constantly have lewd thoughts, you will suffer greatly here!” Elus admonished Lonis with a stern face.
