Chapter 61: Edge

“This is the furthest we’ve ever been.”

Moving across a dusty plain...had lasted for ten Ersh days and nights.

What was surprising during this period was that I didn't encounter any danger.

Although they seemed very nervous along the way and encountered many different creatures, no fighting occurred.

Apart from the 'fish scale ball' at the beginning, no dangerous creatures were encountered afterwards.

These Ershi people said that the Dust Plain itself is a dangerous 'creature'.

It is said that it devours everything.

But when passing by it, nothing too unusual happened, except that the body of the fish scale ball was swallowed.

So Lin's Veronica and they arrived at...the edge smoothly.

They call this place the edge mainly because it is the farthest place they have ever reached.

There is a huge wall here that looks like it is made of rock. It is more than a hundred meters high and extends beyond the sight.

Why there is such a wall here... no one knows.

They had explored this area before, but had never been to the other side of the wall.

And now they decided to climb up.

This place has gravity, or rather, it has an effect that simulates gravity, but it is not difficult for them to climb this wall.

This group of Ershi people don't need any equipment, they can climb up quickly just by grabbing the wall with their hands.

And Lin followed them... and quickly climbed to the top of the wall.

This wall is more than ten meters thick, and all the Ershi people can climb up and stand on it to look at the distant environment.

The other side of the wall looked like a...interesting place.

There are many huge, translucent objects floating here. They look like clouds and there are a lot of them.

"We have never been here before." An Ershimin said to Lin, "Because every time we come here, we get completely lost. Only with a lamp can we move forward."

"Come on, let's... move on." As he said this, the Ershi man also stepped to the other side of the wall.

The moment its leg stepped out of the wall, it became a vague, translucent state.

And when this Ershimin stepped out completely, his entire body became completely translucent, and all the equipment on his body seemed to disappear at this moment.

Only a translucent Ershimin-shaped creature was left floating there.

"This is..." The other Ershi people were a little surprised when they saw this, and it seemed like they didn't dare to step over.

"Once we enter here, we will no longer be able to maintain the state of our memory data." Ershimin, who had turned translucent, said, "As long as we enter here, we will completely break away from our previous... identities and become creatures of another level."

"But it won't do any harm. Come on, this is the way we have to go."

After it finished speaking, many Ershi people also walked over.

They were surprised to see their bodies turn translucent, but they were even more surprised... they found that Lin's Veronica did not turn translucent when she came in.

Although Lin had a strange feeling when she came in, it was as if something was being peeled off from her body.

However, Veronica's appearance has been maintained and she has not become translucent like other Ershi people.

"Why... can you stay the same as before?" an Ershimin asked Veronica in confusion.

And Lin asked it: "Why can't you stay the same as before?"

"..." After being stunned for a few seconds, it explained.

It stated that their original form as the Ershi people was called 'Void Residual Data'.

That is to say, when creatures related to the normal void enter the edge of an unpredictable place, or the original area, their appearance will be the same as that of normal void creatures.

They also call this 'void memory'.

To put it simply, there is some kind of "strange power" in the original unpredictable area, which allows the creatures there to maintain their normal shape in the void.

However, once you enter a certain special area, this normal void shape will disappear.

That 'special area' is this place.

Creatures that enter here will quickly break away from their original form and enter a state of 'fluidity'.

At present, this group of Ershi people has entered an unstable translucent state.

The reason why they are 'unfixed' is mainly because their current form is temporary. If they stay here long enough, they will slowly change into another stable form.

As for what they become, it seems to be related to their personality and experience.

It is hard to say what they will become now, but they will be fixed sooner or later.

There is also a small problem here, that is, if they return to the original range now, they will still turn back into their original...Ershen people appearance.

But if they stay here for too long and have a new fixed form, they will not be able to become Ershi people when they go back.

After it explained these things, the group of Ershi people became very hesitant. They obviously did not want to become anything else.

So they all care about why Lin can always maintain this state.

Lin thinks it’s because Lin’s Veronica’s whole body is full of “consciousness”.

Consciousness or thoughts determine the specific form of a dream creature.

So they all started asking Lin how she managed to maintain this state.

Lin also wanted to conduct some tests, so Lin told them that they needed to firmly believe in their consciousness that they were... Ershi people and not change this idea.

However, it is hard to say whether they can always remember this advice.

Another thing that hadn't changed was the lamp that Lin had always been carrying.

After entering this area, it has remained in the same state as before. It seems that this thing is indeed very special.

No matter what, they had to complete Ersh's mission, so the team set off quickly.

This place no longer has gravity, as if everything familiar has disappeared, and there are huge shadows floating everywhere.

But the things here still feel 'real' to the touch.

Lin is now detecting a translucent cloud-like object.

This thing is not a living being, but a kind of dream energy condensed together.

Lin can analyze the dream energy belonging to living things and non-living things, and there are many differences between them.

The dream energy of living things is always in a state of 'flow', just like real living things, they remain active.

But I don’t know if there will be any special circumstances after this.
