The Observer

The Metaverse Experimental Zone.

A very remote area.

There isn't even any yellow sand or Gobi desert here; it's like a new puzzle piece that the Gemini Superbrain haven't had time to add color and texture to yet.

The ground was covered with patches of white grids, closely connected and stretching endlessly.

Although the sky was a clear, bright blue, it seemed as if there was a pixelation issue, with faint blue mosaic patterns visible.

This place is like the primordial chaos within a fantasy world.

A huge device, resembling an astronomical telescope, stands tall on the white ground.

This device is 100 meters tall and about 10 meters in diameter at its thickest point. Its structure is far more complex than that of an astronomical telescope, consisting of at least a dozen different types of lenses pieced together layer by layer.

The purpose of this device seems to be to see through the smallest particles in the world and the most distant celestial bodies in the universe.

It resembles a colossal cannon pointing diagonally towards the sky, exuding an imposing aura.

But the top of this telescope was pointed at an almost imperceptible object.

It was a black dot, only 3 micrometers in diameter, much smaller than a black dust particle suspended in the air.

At the very bottom of this telescope, less than 50 centimeters from the ground, an elderly man in a white coat knelt on the ground, his bloodshot eyes fixed intently on the lens.

suddenly.

The elderly man in the white coat shouted, "Nan Xi, I've discovered a new pattern! Record this string of numbers! 353115, 455333..."

The young man with blue hair beside him immediately opened the virtual panel and quickly recorded the seemingly random numbers the old man had mentioned. However, he dared not be careless and carefully recorded and checked repeatedly to ensure that there were no mistakes.

"Nan Xi!"

"I've found another area that's hard to see."

"We need to add another set of lenses, a long-distance flat achromatic objective lens, without a slide, PLL60*/0.75!"

The old man in the white coat kept his eyes glued to the camera, shouting with a mixture of obsession and madness.

"Teacher."

The man named Nan Xi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Because the location of the bug cannot be changed, our observation equipment can only be placed here. If you want to add more lenses, you'll have to lie on the ground to observe."

But then the old man in the white coat slowly turned around.

His dark circles were as thick as ink, and the blood vessels in his eyes resembled writhing earthworms. "I will continue to observe the loopholes in the Gemini Metaverse. I will observe it endlessly. I will see through all its secrets. I will understand every underlying logic of it!"

"Teacher."

Nan Xi paused, feeling a pang of pity, and said, "You haven't slept for seven days and seven nights. You should rest for a while now."

The old man in the white coat's eyes were instantly filled with boundless terror. "Nan Xi, it's not that I don't want to sleep, it's that I can't sleep. For over ten years, whenever I fall asleep... I enter a dream, and then I encounter Qin Yiguan, who will kill me again and again."

"Teacher, those were just dreams after all. You always woke up, and you were always unharmed."

Nan Xi fetched a blanket. "Rest for a while, even just an hour would be good. Otherwise, your body won't be able to take it. If you collapse, you won't be able to continue observing the Gemini Loophole."

The elderly man in the white coat stared with bloodshot eyes and blinked hard.

His vision had long since become blurred, and his mind was already overwhelmed. He felt that he might collapse at any moment and then sleep for three days and three nights.

He squinted again, his eyes still a little blurry, and said, "Then... I'll just sleep for a little while, just a little while, an hour at most. Nan Xi, you must stay alert."

When the old man uttered those words, his mind had already involuntarily relaxed.

He lay on the ground, and sleepiness overwhelmed him instantly; he immediately began to snore.

Nan Xi covered him with a blanket and silently shook her head.

Buzz...

Buzz...

The old man had been asleep for less than two minutes when the sky began to tremble.

A strange energy ring appeared out of nowhere, its misty light spreading out in concentric circles and beginning to fluctuate continuously.

Several tens of seconds later.

A dark silver aircraft appeared in the sky.

It seems to have appeared out of thin air, or perhaps it was Body Reconstruction through some kind of reconstruction technology.

The elderly man in the white coat suddenly awoke with a start, his expression one of horror. "He's here!"

In that instant, the space behind the silver aircraft turned pitch black, and then a monster's howl echoed through the sky. A ferocious monster with four silver wings on its back descended from the sky, wielding a steel fork.

Its steel fork thrust downwards, piercing the lens from the top and shattering the enormous telescope inch by inch!

The elderly man in the white coat was visibly distressed, crying out, "My equipment!"

then.

The silver aircraft slowly landed on the white land.

The hatch slowly opened.

A young man wearing a black jacket, with short hair and a gloomy look in his eyes, slowly walked out.

Behind the young man followed the alluring and cold-blooded beauty Bishamonten, and a bald little monk dressed in gray cloth.

The boy in the black jacket scanned the area, his gaze finally settling on one person. "Lu Zhoulang, I've been looking for you for so long!"

It was at this time.

Nan Xi, with her blue hair, stepped forward, blocking the way. "If you want to hurt the teacher, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

The man in black raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing coldly as he said, "Very well."

Nan Xi squinted and softly murmured, "Super Virtual..."

But before he could finish giving his voice command, his head was cleaved in two by the boy wielding a black blade who suddenly charged forward.

Thump.

Nan Xi's body fell face-up.

then.

The black-clad youth, like a demon, slowly approached the old man in the white coat.

The old man retreated in terror, crying, "No, no! You can't do this to me!"

But the boy remained unmoved, using a black dagger to peel away the old man's scalp piece by piece, and then carved countless 'Q's one after another onto his exposed, blood-stained white skull.

The old man's screams echoed throughout the heavens and earth, filled with unbearable sorrow and terror, but no one came to his aid!

final.

The old man's entire scalp and face were peeled off by the boy, leaving him a living, breathing bloody skeleton. He lay on the ground, crawling away into the distance, leaving a long trail of blood in his wake.

The black-clad youth, whose blade was still dripping blood, stood calmly, seemingly enjoying the old man's miserable state. A low, almost imperceptible laugh escaped his lips.

"No!"

"No!"

Terrification filled the old man in the white coat. He suddenly opened his eyes, his entire body soaked in sweat.

He turned around abruptly, only to find that his 'telescope' was intact, and Nan Xi was standing safely beside him.

But Nan Xi frowned and said, "Teacher, this time, you only slept for 42 seconds."

The elderly man in the white coat quickly touched his scalp and cheeks; his skin was still there, it hadn't been peeled off.

This is still a dream...

The old man trembled all over, slurring his words, "Only 42 seconds... only 42 seconds! Nan Xi, I can't sleep anymore, not even for a second!"

He scrambled and crawled, kneeling once more in front of the telescope lens, staring into his bloodshot eyes, and continued his observation!

"Dong Xi is dead! Qin Yiguan has become stronger again, and he has allies now. My location has been exposed!"

"They can easily penetrate my defenses, they can get here at any moment, I don't have time!"

"I must hurry up and study! I must become stronger, incredibly strong! I must kill Qin Yiguan! No, I must kill Qin Yiguan before he arrives!!!"

The old man's expression was bordering on hysterical madness.

But Nan Xi frowned slightly, "Teacher, those were all your dreams."

"No!"

Even if it was a dream, it was still sending me a message!

The old man roared furiously.

Nan Xi silently shook her head. "Teacher, no one can find the coordinates here, and no one can penetrate the ' Kelunsalin ' you set up. Teacher, you never realized how powerful you have become. Your technology is approaching that of the Gemini Superbrain. In other words, you are close to a god. No one can harm you anymore."

"And even if he really did come."

Nan Xi's gaze suddenly turned icy. "I will kill him immediately as well. You won't even know any of this is happening."
