World of sound

It was late at night.

Edward's Megalithic Manor.

From a distance, the manor resembles a giant monster lurking in the darkness.

It has high walls, towering stone pillars inside, a flat ground, and huge buildings of varying heights.

But none of these buildings were pieced together from scattered bricks; they were all made of huge, whole blocks of stone.

Even the ground was made up of huge stone slabs. Looking around, even the smallest 'component' in this complex was measured in tons.

This completely defies common architectural sense.

This is also a failed tourist attraction; it's deserted even during the day, let alone now, late at night.

Qin Yiguan looked up at the massive stone gate in front of him, which was 5 meters high, 3 meters wide, and 1 meter thick. This was the entrance to the entire manor.

Jiang Yizhou said, "Once, after Edward finished building this stone door, even a 10-year-old child could easily push it open."

"But after Edward's death, those self-proclaimed scientists and busybodies dismantled the door without permission, only to find that in the center of the stone door there was just a very ordinary bearing."

"But after they installed the stone door back, it became as heavy as a mountain, and ordinary people could no longer push it."

Qin Yiguan nodded and reached out to touch the stone door in front of him. The stone door emitted a slight coolness, and if you applied a little force, the stone door would give you a feeling of solidity, as if it had been welded to the ground.

Its bearings are still there, so it can still rotate, but it would take at least five or six strong men to work together.

In other words...

"Edward hid the technology of levitation sound inside this stone door."

"Although it's been destroyed, some clues can still be found?"

Qin Yiguan frowned slightly, staring for a long time. "I can't see anything. Let's retreat."

"Withdraw?"

Jiang Yizhou was slightly taken aback.

"Yes."

Qin Yiguan nodded and said, "I checked the records of the Ring Research Institute before. Their records show that they came here three times to seek technology at the beginning, but failed each time. After that, there were no related records for a long time. Although they tried a few times recently, it seems that they also failed."

"In my opinion, they also lack the ability to unravel the secret."

"So."

Qin Yiguan turned around, put his arm around Jiang Yizhou's shoulder, and started walking back. "Let's retreat."

"You rascal, how can you be so perfunctory in your work?"

"If you leave like this, aren't you giving the Ring Research Institute an opportunity?"

Jiang Yizhou looked at Qin Yiguan, "Since we're already here, we have to give it a try! We're just missing this one material!"

"That's right."

Qin Yiguan suddenly turned around, rested his chin on his hand, and began to stare at the huge stone gate again.

Jiang Yizhou was taken aback. "This child's mental state isn't very stable."

"Materials that only I can collect..."

Qin Yiguan pondered, "What ability do I possess that others don't?"

Jiang Yizhou nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, that's the right line of thinking."

The next moment.

Qin Yiguan muttered to himself again, "I possess abilities that no one else has."

Jiang Yizhou,"..."

The next moment.

Above Qin Yiguan's head appeared a huge black wardrobe, its doors half-open. Suddenly, a long, resounding creak echoed through the sky, and a wave of darkness spread out.

In an instant, it covered Qin Yiguan's body and the huge stone gate in front of him.

Jiang Yizhou's eyes lit up slightly.

But in no time, the black mist dissipated, and the black wardrobe disappeared as well, revealing Qin Yiguan with a slightly furrowed brow; he had gained nothing.

then.

Qin Yiguan tilted his head slightly, and another terrifying figure appeared in the sky. His chest was ripped open, and blood flowed to the ground, forming a huge red nerve network.

At the same time, in the sky that Qin Yiguan was looking at, a giant stone gate appeared, a one-to-one replica. It was a completely simulated scene, and the logic within it was controlled by Qin Yiguan.

The replica stone gate was instantly dismantled into scattered fragments that floated in the sky. The massive stone gate was a single, meticulously carved piece that appeared unremarkable.

A pipe was carved out of the center of the stone gate, through which a metal bearing was passed. The bearing was then disassembled into various parts, which also floated in the air.

Qin Yiguan frowned slightly. "The bearings are very ordinary; I can't see anything special about them."

At that moment, Qin Yiguan's communicator suddenly rang.

But it turned out to be Taotie Gala. "Yiguan, someone mailed you a gift. I opened it for you beforehand for your safety, haha. You know what? This thing is both strange and unique, just like your taste!"

Qin Yiguan was also somewhat puzzled, "Who would send me something?"

The next moment.

Clam then sent over a photo of the gift.

It was a very exquisite crystal ball, filled with liquid. At first glance, the liquid contained a miniature landscape model.

This thing is similar to a snow globe toy for children. Inside the glass globe is a castle. When you shake it slightly, white snowflakes slowly fall from it.

Qin Yiguan zoomed in on the picture and squinted at the scenery inside the crystal ball.

But it turned out to be a tropical rainforest, and in the green bushes was a blue lake.

A gigantic hand, seemingly descending from the sky, slammed a woman in a white gauze dress into the water. The lake water was made of some kind of blue gel, with blue waves rippled on its surface. The waves were static, as if the world inside a crystal ball had frozen in the moment of the woman's desperate struggle.

Qin Yiguan's body didn't move, but a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his eye.

Jiang Yizhou's voice came through, "Yiguan, what's wrong?"

"Fine."

Qin Yiguan turned off the screen, showing no unusual reaction, and continued to stare silently at the stone door.

But if you listen carefully, you can hear that Qin Yiguan's jaw is clenched, and his teeth are making a twisting, grinding sound.

It was at this time.

From Qin Yiguan's perspective, the figure of the Boundless One suddenly appeared. He was still that black paper figure, and his body moved forward inch by inch, leaving a two-dimensional shadow in the path, and finally stood in front of the huge stone gate.

Qin Yiguan then stepped forward, his movements constantly overlapping with the figures left behind by the Boundless One.

Each time they overlap, the world surrounding Qin Yiguan changes slightly.

The scenery became fewer and fewer, as if it had been erased.

Blue lines will continuously appear around you; they are all arc-shaped ripples that spread out in concentric circles.

"He must have discovered Yiguan."

Just then, Jiang Yizhou's voice rang out from behind. Qin Yiguan turned around, but he couldn't see Jiang Yizhou's body. He could only see blue rings spreading out from the height of Jiang Yizhou's head.

The meowing of wild cats could be heard in the distance.

Qin Yiguan looked again, and the whole world had turned pitch black. He could no longer see the wall where the stray cat was crouching, but with the sound of the stray cat meowing, he could see circles of blue rings slowly spreading out.

The next moment.

The entire world was reconstructed. It was a world built with blue lines, but it was definitely not a 3D perspective graphic. The surrounding environment was the same as the reality Qin Yiguan had seen before, but all the objects had lost their color and texture, and only had outlines formed by blue lines.

And in that very moment...

A row of large characters composed of blue ripples appeared in the sky directly in front of Qin Yiguan.

The Sound Universe.

--A parallel universe that coexists with the real world.
