Chapter 235 Cognition

“I can’t find it.”

Lin and Sharin arrived at the location where the clone was originally located.

However, I didn’t see the clone here, but instead saw many other illusions.

These illusions all appear to be different creatures, and types that have never been seen before.

They were floating around everywhere, and there were so many of them that the "stones" and clones that were originally in the war disappeared.

I originally thought that I could discuss the history of the overlappers with my clone, but... it seems that there is no way at the moment.

◇ Ling Ling Reading Network ◆ "What can you see here?"

Looking at the surrounding environment, Lin asked a special creature.

“It’s also an area that’s a mix of different eras.”

This creature... is a special illusion of an overlapper brought by Lin.

Lin had had a detailed conversation with this illusion before... Lin learned from it what they could see.

The surrounding environment is originally 'real' to them.

Simply put, there is no difference from the real void, but the moment they realize that they are an illusion, the surrounding environment changes.

Everything that had felt so real had become... unreal.

It became an illusion similar to what Lin was seeing now... Of course, they themselves also became very unreal.

The main thing is that they are always trapped.

There is a 'wall' surrounding the Overlapper ruins that blocks them from leaving, but creatures like Lin who can see them will temporarily drill open the wall, allowing them to leave the area that traps them and go outside.

So, Lin brought one of them out.

At the same time, while investigating with the Overlapper illusion, Lin was also using some troops left in the Overlapper ruins to carry out the "revival" work of the small pipeline.

This recovery process takes a little time, so look around with the overlappers first.

To say "bring it out" actually means to let it follow. Lin discovered that this illusion of the overlapper can fly at an extremely fast speed.

But it can only fly to another place where there is an illusion, such as the area where this clone is located.

That’s why Lin and it were able to get here quickly, but after arriving here... they did not see the clone.

The Overlapper said that all the creatures here are known to it, because it itself has the memories of Overlappers from various eras. The illusions here are all creatures that have appeared in the Collapsed Void, but in different eras.

At the same time, it also stated that it had not seen... the clone that Lin mentioned.

"It is indeed possible." Shalin looked at the surrounding environment and said to Lin: "Let's go somewhere else to have a look."

"What's the possibility?" Lin asked.

"Midgard...if it's really what you said..." Sharin said, "Maybe this is its...real plan. Anyway, let's go somewhere else first."

After continuing to observe here for a while, Lin and Sharin began to move towards other areas with illusions in the surrounding area.

These illusion areas are quite similar, and some of them are also ones that Lin and Shalin have visited before. However, unlike before, they originally only displayed illusions of a certain past era, but now they are all displaying illusions of a mixed era.

It seems that these illusion areas have undergone some changes during the period when Lin and the Overlappers learned about their history.

Sharin believes that this is not a change in these areas themselves, but a change in...'cognition'.

Simply put, the illusions displayed here will show different content depending on the creature's own perception of them.

Most void creatures passing by cannot see them because they are unaware of these illusions.

If you recognize them in some way, you will see more "basic" illusions, which are the ones that Lin saw at first.

After Lin learned about the history of the overlappers, this "cognition" seemed to change again, so she could see mixed illusions.

What is special is that even with only basic knowledge, one can still see the illusion of the mixed era at the location of the overlapper ruins.

That is why we can see these special overlapper illusions and understand the general situation from them.

As for the clone... maybe it's because of the change in cognition that we can't see it.

Lin is more interested in why this "cognition" affects the appearance of illusions?

This is a very interesting point, and Lin decided to study it carefully.

After visiting many places, Lin and Sharin followed the illusion of the overlapper to a special location.

This place also looks like the remains of a civilization.

"This is...their place!"

The overlapper illusion was very surprised when he saw the relic. In fact, Lin also had some knowledge of the relic.

Of course, I also learned about it from the overlappers, because this relic is... the investigator's relic.

It is said that after the investigators recorded all the information about Midgard, they turned themselves into 'petrified' forms and placed themselves in the ruins they created.

And the ruins where these investigators finally stayed... was here.

From the outside, it looks like a tumbler with holes all over it.

It has a diameter of more than 3,000 kilometers, and there are countless complex protrusions on its surface, which look like a large number of cities and other structures.

At the same time, there are many large holes on the surface.

These holes are several kilometers in diameter and cover the entire surface of the Tumbler. Through these holes, you can see the interior... it seems hollow.

After watching for a while, Lin and Sharin flew directly to the surface of the tumbler.

There are many...creatures on the surface here.

They all looked like statues of Collapsed Void creatures from various eras that had been seen before...

They all appear to be rock structures, built into the surface in various shapes.

There are many types and quantities, and there are many types that Lin has never seen before.

After reaching the surface, the illusion of the overlapper showed doubts...it said that the investigators' previous creations should not have been like this.

Although the investigators did create this "riddled tumbler ruins", they did not place these creature sculptures on the surface.

They should have placed some civilized buildings on the surface.

So, Lin carefully examined these sculptures and found that there was nothing special about them except that they were indeed made of very common materials in the void.

Lin thought...if this was really the investigator's remains, then a lot of things must have happened after so much time had passed.

After searching around for a while, Lin and Sharin came to a big hole.

This big hole has a diameter of one kilometer. As long as you enter the hole, you can go directly to the interior of the tumbler.
