The distant country is surrounded by dense forests. It is mysterious and ancient.

The forest is a barrier and a shackles.

The young hunter walked out of the city gate to explore the depths of the forest, full of curiosity and expectation.

He sang and made his voice loud all the way, hoping to make more friends.

But as he walked, his innocent hunting behavior attracted a pack of wolves. After discovering that he was being followed, the hunter wanted to get rid of him, but the scent on his body had been firmly locked on him.

Daytime is the hunter's last cover, and nightfall will be the beginning of his death...

"Azure New Testament Chapter 4: Forest"

…

"Don't walk meekly into this good night. Don't let your passion be drowned by the gloomy twilight. Roar, shout, and denounce the retreat of the light..." Returning to the endless white world of the Quantum Origin, what Lin Sen heard

The first sentence is this little poem from Dylan Thomas.

Lin Sen couldn't help but feel shocked before he understood the charm.

He looked at An Youren's back and looked at his lonely appearance in the endless world.

"How long have you been here?" Lin Sen asked.

An Youren closed his eyes, relaxed physically and mentally for a while, and then replied: "I forgot."

Forget...probably means a long time...

Lin Sen was a little embarrassed, so he asked again: "Then, do you still remember the original purpose of the Central Curtain?"

An Youren did not answer this time. He walked forward silently. The world around him gradually transformed into a pastoral path. In the world of blooming mountain flowers, there was a small house with smoke curling from the kitchen.

An Youren stopped there and turned to Lin Sen: "Are you hungry?"

Lin Sen was a little confused, but he knew that the more anxious he was now, the more patient he should be, because he could never give up all his previous efforts.

"Kind of."

An Youren smiled slightly: "Then come in and sit down. The rice is already cooked. I'll stir-fry some side dishes and we can start the meal."

It's a familiar feeling, but completely different.

Lin Sen walked over and entered the house, only to realize that there was something special inside this small house.

It doesn't look big from the outside, but it always gives people a full sense of tolerance and security inside. The atmosphere is very vague, but it's really comfortable.

"Wait a moment." Although An Youren is not that enthusiastic, his calmness gives people a more natural feeling.

Lin Sen sat down at the dining table and looked around. There was no bed in the room, only many wooden crafts and some simple farm tools. The temperature in the room was slightly hot, but not unbearable.

"Can you eat spicy food?" An Youren asked with his back to Lin Sen in the small kitchen.

Lin Sen was startled and said casually: "It's okay, just don't have too many."

An Youren nodded and continued cooking quietly.

After a while, two dishes were served on the table. Lin Sen sat there like a reserved guest, feeling a little at a loss.

An Youren smiled and said: "Eat."

Lin Sen then let down his guard a little and started eating.

But while eating, Lin Sen thought a lot.

He was thinking about what kind of existence Anyou was... At first, he thought Anyou was a supreme manager who regarded himself as a god, but after seeing him for a long time, it seemed that he was not the kind of person Lin Sen imagined.

But it is a bit wrong to say that he is just a mortal... because the internal world of Quantum Origin is composed of string units, which Lin Sen realized the moment he regained his color and breathing.

This was all due to Manny's research on "Fire". Before leaving that base world, Lin Sen gained a lot. Although he was still confused about the string unit, he was able to distinguish it.

Especially after taking this mouthful of rice, the vague and subtle hazy feeling during chewing became stronger and stronger, and Lin Sen's sense of taste gradually disappeared.

A tasteless meal is painful for anyone, so Lin Sen ate as much as possible and then put it down, saying that he was full.

But Mr. Anyou enjoyed this process very much.

He looked very delicious and serious about eating, and he didn't speak to Lin Sen during the whole process.

Lin Sen couldn't be bothered.

After the meal was cleaned up, Anyou poured Lin Sen a cup of tea, and the two of them sat down at a small square table carved from tree roots outside the house.

Looking at the wilderness, An Youren said: "What did you ask me just now?"

Lin Sen was startled, and then said: "Oh, I just wanted to ask you if you still remember the original purpose of the Central Curtain."

An Youren thought for a while, closed his eyes slightly and replied: "The central curtain is just a code name, and the meaning of our existence is only to protect this power that humans cannot control yet."

Codename?Guardian?

Lin Sen probably understood something. He looked at An Youren in surprise: "You mean, the Central Curtain is a guardian organization? And the power that creates this infinite cycle of the world is not created by the Central Curtain?"

An Youren looked at Lin Sen, silent for a while and then suddenly smiled: "Yes, the central curtain is just a concept, a vision, it is not a specific thing, and as for what you said, the infinite loop world... it is actually the same.

.”

Forehead……

Lin Sen suddenly became confused again... What does it actually mean?

"Sorry, I'm a little confused! Can you explain it to me?"

An Youren thought for a while and then asked: "Do you still remember the symbol you saw?"

That symbol? Which symbol...

Lin Sen's head felt heavy for a while, and he could only guess based on his memory: "Are you talking about the curled-up human figure and the symbols on the broken head that look like brain patterns?"

An Youren shook his head: "No, that's just a symbol of the spiritual transformation of the central curtain. What I'm talking about is that the center of the triangle contains a symbol of a circle."

The center of the triangle contains a circle?!

Lin Sen remembered it immediately, but... wasn't that the meaning of creation and destruction in the golden birdcage?

"I remember, but..."

"That is the symbol of the connection between human beings and the central curtain. The triangle represents human beings, and the circle represents the limited inner world of human beings. This is actually the true appearance of the central curtain." An Youren's words are still very profound.

But surprisingly, this time Lin Sen understood.

He stared blankly as An Youren raised his hand and drew a golden triangle and a blue circle out of thin air.

"Limitations... are respect for order, and breaking through order is the yearning for freedom. The relationship between these is very contradictory, but they are also interdependent. Therefore... whether human beings tolerate respect for order, limitations

Whether it is the inner world, or whether humans have liberated their minds, yearned endlessly for freedom, and continued to expand the circle of the world, in short, there is a connection between them."

Forehead……

It was okay not to explain, but now that An Youren explained it in detail, Lin Sen was completely confused again.

He smiled a little troubledly: "Can you... describe it more specifically?"

An Youren nodded and said, "Just like Han Wensheng and Yang Yurong."

Han Wensheng and Yang Yurong?

Lin Sen still couldn't understand clearly.

An Youren added: "Han Wensheng is a diligent genius, which enabled him to successfully graduate from the Hongzhi Academy, the first university in mankind, at the age of fourteen, which naturally contributed to his status as a student of the same age.

He became the tutor of the gifted class, but on the surface, Han Wensheng, who appeared to have a profound understanding of the world, was actually a completely lawful person. He regarded order as his belief, so he was selected as the leader of the Turaya Project.

The specific implementers and person-in-charge carried out the final experiment of Turaya step by step. Although...in the end Han Wensheng chose to fight and led his followers into the unknown fifth dimension, completely becoming a prisoner of time.

, but that is just an escape... He is unable to face the reality of the infinite world, and he is unable to change this infinite trend. This... is the real reason for his failure."

Lin Sen listened quietly, but his heart was already in turmoil.

An Youren's words had a great impact on Lin Sen.

Because he has always regarded Han Wensheng as a similar person to Yang Yurong. After all, he fell in love with a lover whom he could never get close to without any reservation.

But now that I think about it carefully, Han Wensheng has been being used since he met Yang Yurong. Lin Sen has already seen this clearly in the memory fragment of Yang Yurong and Han Kongwen.

Yang Yurong was born for Han Wen, Han Kongwen was the accident.

So in other words... Han Wensheng chose to fight after realizing that he was being used. During his years in Turaya, he had been constantly fighting against himself, constantly trying to get rid of his dependence on order, but in the end

... Even though Han Wensheng escaped into the fifth dimension and Lin Sen chased him, he still gave Lin Sen his will and all his hope and sent Lin Sen back.

'It turns out that Han Wensheng has already seen the truth of the world... But why didn't he tell me?' Lin Sen was a little confused, but then he remembered those words...

I am the King of kings!

Unparalleled achievements! Dare to impress God!

…

There is nothing else, but around the ruins, the lonely flat sand and vast sky stretch out into the desolate surroundings...

'So that's it... He has been trying to tell me the truth... It's a pity that he didn't dare... It's really...' Lin Sen closed his eyes helplessly, and sighed: "What a bastard..."

An You laughed when he heard this: "Han Wensheng is the smartest and loneliest human being I have ever met. What he sees in his world is a vastness that ordinary people cannot see in their lifetime. He is the real one."
