Chapter 285 Ruins

Here are the ruins of the 'condensed civilization'.

This place appears to be more monotonous than the ruins of other civilizations. The most common thing is various branches that look like crystals.

Lin was driving the captain's room, searching for the captain here. The captain used a relatively simple method to leave clues, which was to leave behind some fragments of his body.

These fragments are not just simple fragments. When Lin used the captain's room to recycle them, she could see some of the captain's memories.

From this we can tell that the captain is being dragged there by those shadows.

The captain...has been moving deeper into the ruins.

However, Lin did not follow its information completely, because there were some interesting things to see here.

It was like two people arguing...

There are now two of them in front of Lin. They are exactly the same as what Lin had learned from the message left by the captain. They look like a ball of glowing jelly, and each one has a diameter of more than 30 meters.

However, they did not discover Lin because they were in the state of 'unconstructed world'.

Every resident of a condensed civilization needs to construct the world he or she sees for himself or herself, and most of them will complete it within... several fluff-ball years after birth.

But there are also a very small number of condensed residents who cannot construct their world well, and they will fall into a state of hesitation.

Lin was very curious about how they sensed the environmental information before they constructed their own world.

Before they construct the image of the world they see, their sensory organs will continue to collect information about the external environment.

In short, this state of hesitation will last for a very long time, and they don’t know how to classify the information or how the information should be displayed.

Such individuals can be called 'hesitants'.

They will never be able to make a decision and will keep hesitating, which also means... they will not get involved in anything else at all and will just stay stuck in hesitation.

Its fellow condensed people would not think that this kind of hesitation is a waste of resources and kill it, but would keep it and let it hesitate forever.

At the same time, if more hesitant people appear, the surrounding condensed people will find a way to connect their minds, allowing two or more hesitant people to jointly judge how their world should be constructed.

The general result is that these hesitant people hesitate together.

They would argue with each other about how this information should be composed, and ultimately they were unable to reach a conclusion, which lasted for a very long time, even until the civilization had perished, and they were still in this state.

What Lin was more interested in was how they survived.

And what happened to this civilization that caused the extinction of other individuals, but these two immobile ones survived.

Lin can use some methods to connect to the two creatures and see the information they have been sharing for a long time.

This connection method was also left by the captain.

While the shadows were taking the captain away, they were also telling him more things along the way, such as a lot of knowledge about the residents here.

They obtain the information brought back by the customized ring by directly connecting it with their own bodies.

This also means that the Customized Ring can be directly connected to their minds... because the Captain is also a Customized Ring, and he has this ability.

The captain's room can also achieve this connection because the captain's structure is also modeled after the captain himself.

Now, Lin used the connection specially constructed in the captain's room to touch the two "hesitants" and connected into their minds.

The moment she connected it, Lin could feel...chaos.

To be precise, the minds of these two hesitant people are similar to the chaos outside, filled with complex information.

This is already very similar to the chaos outside, but the speed of change is not as fast as chaos.

Lin carefully examined the thoughts of both of them... This situation was because their long-term hesitation had caused them to imagine countless things.

They continually customize the information they receive through their imagination, but never make a decision, so the imagined content accumulates in their minds.

And they didn't abandon these imaginary contents, so they piled up more and more, until... it became what it is now.

The amount of information these two creatures can store is quite huge, and it is all "piled" together, making it difficult to judge what they are thinking.

But you can look at the outside information they collect.

This information is stored very well by them. It is not randomly piled up like imaginary content, but is classified and placed somewhere in the mind.

This information mainly includes all the external information they have perceived from the time they were born to the present, as well as the historical events they have seen.

It's just that they haven't given these things a definite shape, so they're just left here.

And Lin can directly finalize this information.

In fact, when Lin felt the information they stored, she could directly "see" what they were.

However, to those who are hesitant, this information has no shape at all, which is equivalent to being pitch black, but they can indeed feel the existence of this information and can give it a shape.

This feeling is quite strange... Perhaps one needs a completely condensed biological 'nervous system' to understand this feeling.

In short, Lin can learn a lot of past history through the information they store.

Like how this civilization perished.

Judging from earlier information, the civilization of condensed organisms was in a very prosperous stage.

Their civilization as a whole looks like a tree, a crystalline tree bearing countless glowing fruits.

At that time, they were constantly sending out large numbers of customized rings, trying to find a way to go to the normal void.

At some point, they encountered a creature from the normal void.

This creature is... Ersh.

It is also the cause of their demise.

At that time, Ersh seemed to have suffered... severe damage in the chaotic space. Lin could see from the information that the surface of Ersh was covered with scars and the ocean had dried up.

It did not fly in by itself, but was discovered during the process of condensed organisms detecting resources in the chaos.

Then they found a way to drag Ersh here.

This dragging method is quite peculiar. It seems to utilize the changed 'flow' of chaos, which can move very large objects, like Ersh.

After they dragged Ersh into the bubble area, they conducted some investigation and research, and then they decided to decompose Ersh.

The main reason is that Ersh can be used as a material to construct many things, and they also feel that its internal structure can only be seen after it is disassembled.
