"Then I'll wait here for 'it.'"
"Alone?"
"No." Lin Ye shook his head. "I need volunteers."
"Volunteers from different dimensions, preferably with representatives from every dimension."
"That way, we can observe 'its' reactions from different perspectives."
Hundreds of flickering consciousness fluctuations answered him.
Explorers from the Third Dimension, time travelers from the Fourth Dimension, observers from the Fifth Dimension.
