Chapter 690 – An Ignored “Connection”?

Chapter 690 – The Neglected “Connection”?
In Light Wind Harbor, the bright “sunlight” filled in from the sea, enveloping the entire city-state under the “night”, and the information carried in the light flowed silently over the entire sea, but the only person who could read and understand this information was a mannequin.

Honestly, even Duncan found this a little bit unbelievable.

So just how much more of the world …… in this mannequin’s eyes is different from normal human perception? Is the sky blue in her eyes? Are the leaves green in her eyes? What kind of silhouette does the human being have in her eyes, and what kind of waves does the sea have?
And even when she describes what she sees – are the colors, sounds, and shapes she describes really what people know?

It seems to be a mystery that will always be circular and contradictory, never to be solved.

Alice turned her head, the glow of the gas lamps reflected in her very pretty, large eyes, and she looked at Duncan with some confusion and some concern, and it was a long time before she spoke in a whisper, “Captain, those things I saw really did work, didn’t they?”

The flurry of thoughts gradually collected themselves, and Duncan didn’t let the jumbled associations continue, suddenly recognizing somewhat what Alice had once said – that certain annoying and doomed questions were simply not to be pondered.

So he smiled, his expression gradually relaxing a little, “Of course it’s useful – so what else did you see besides this information? I mean what else did you ‘see’ that was different than usual after the sun went out?”

Alice quickly understood what Duncan meant, and she frowned slightly, recalling it very carefully, and craning her head to look around again, before speaking with less certainty after a moment, “If I have to say, it just kept feeling like there was a buzzing sound ……”

Duncan frowned, “Buzzing?”

“Well, a buzzing, a very soft sound, and it’s hard to tell if it’s really a ‘sound’ or not, I just feel like there’s this movement that goes on and on in my head, but if I don’t pay close attention to it I’ll just ignore it,” Alice explained in a gestural manner, and gestured at the out the window, “and the sound gets a little stronger at the sight of all that ‘sunlight’ ……”

Duncan nodded softly, and a moment later asked, “Did you hear that humming last time the sun went out? Ever see those ‘messages’ about the ‘Observer Effect Stabilization Anchor’?”

“No,” Alice held her head and shook her head, “It was all ‘seen’ and heard only this time when we got to Lightwind Harbor …… “

Listening to the mannequin, Duncan couldn’t help but get lost in thought –

According to Lucrecia’s statement, just now, another set of observation equipment in Light Wind Harbor also received a weak signal from the extinguished sun, and its characteristics are exactly the same as the signals released by the “Luminous Geometry”, that is to say, during the period of extinguishment, Vision 001’s body has also been “broadcasting” the “Observer”. During the time of the extinction, the body of Vision 001 had also been “broadcasting” the announcement of the “Observer Effect Stabilizing Anchor Failure”, but Alice said that she did not “see” this content during the last solar extinction, and that it was only after she arrived at the Light Wind Harbor that she saw it from the “sunlight” of this place. “Sunshine” to read out the information from …… Why is this?
Is it because the malfunction during the last sun out was not so serious, so the body of Vision 001 did not report the malfunction? If this is the explanation, then the situation will be more serious than anyone expected, because it means that the whole system has undergone a further deterioration – a rapid deterioration in such a short period of time.

Silence fell in the living room as Lucrecia and Maurice and the others gathered around, listening to the exchange between Duncan and Alice and watching with some concern the change in the expression on Duncan’s face, and it was Nina who couldn’t help but speak up after a while: ”Uncle Duncan, do you know what that ‘Observer Effect Stabilization Anchor ‘ means?”

Duncan opened his mouth, but was suddenly a bit stuck.

In this world, explaining the concepts of planets and the universe to people was already an incomparably difficult task, how could he explain the even more abstract “observer effect”? How to explain those incredible phenomena between the macro and micro worlds?

And more importantly – could the Observer Theory he knew really fit here?
He raised his head with a subtle expression and looked at the world outside the window.

“I can probably guess some of this, but it deviates wildly from my perception of ‘observer theory’, which is supposed to take place in the microcosm, not ……”

He paused hesitantly.

If the other name for Vision 001 was indeed “Observer Effect Stabilizing Anchor”, then did that already explain the ancient vision’s “suppressing contamination” and “stabilizing order” as the “stabilizing order”?

Unconsciously, he was reminded of the truth of the Great Annihilation, the conflict at the bottom of all things in the world, and all kinds of transcendent visions in the world based on the cognitive contamination – if the microcosm is the “cornerstone of order” of every universe, then when these cornerstones collide with each other and annihilate, then the microcosm is the “cornerstone of order” of every universe. If the microcosm is the “cornerstone of order” in every universe, then when these cornerstones collide with each other and annihilate, mixing into an incomparably chaotic and complicated “information soup”, will the …… observer effect still be confined to the microcosm?
At the moment when the mathematical laws of each universe are torn apart, at the moment when the material structure of everything is completely annihilated and reduced to the basic information elements, perhaps the concepts of “micro” and “macro” have long since disappeared!
In the storm-like sudden surge of thoughts, Duncan unconsciously muttered: “…… The concrete manifestation of the information pollution and conflict of laws at the bottom of everything …… is actually the observer effect under the macroscopic world that is out of control? ”

Maurice and Lucrecia looked at each other in disbelief and turned their heads at the same time after a few seconds, “…… Huh?”

“…… I’ll find a way to explain to you what the Observer Effect is and some of my conjectures about it later, but it will take a lot of time and effort,” Duncan waved his hand quickly, “Right now I’m more interested in figuring out another problem.”

Lucrecia spoke up immediately, “Another problem?!”

Duncan nodded and looked over to the gothic doll standing next to him, who was looking harmless (and mostly unresponsive). “Have you ever wondered – why Alice can see and understand these ‘signals’?”

“Hey yeah!” Shirley, who was on the sidelines, instantly responded (mainly this was the only question she could understand so far), “It’s not so much that she can ‘see’, after all, she’s the only one who can see those ‘wires’ too –But how did she see it? No one in the city-state with all the experts and scholars with their hair falling out has figured this stuff out!”

Vanna, for her part, keenly noted the serious and thoughtful expression on Duncan’s face as he tossed out the question, “Do you already have an answer?”

Duncan nodded slowly at his words, and after a moment of thought and organization of his words, he brought up what was written in that Book of Blasphemy:
“You will recall that according to that book, after two failed Creations, it was the ‘King of Creeps’ who managed to complete the Creation and usher in the Age of the Deep on the Third Long Night.”

Vanna immediately nodded, “Well, that we certainly remember.”

“The ‘construction’ of Vision 001 was also during the same era,” Duncan continued with a serious expression, “The King of Creeps made the Cretan Clan his assistants, and together with them he designed and built the ‘Sun’, and the King of Creeps is what we know as the ‘Sacred Lord of the Profound’ – so do you remember how Alice was born?”

“Ohhhh this I know!” Shirley instantly realized, “A clone of the Profound Holy Lord was hand rubbed out at the bottom of the ocean!”

Everyone reacted.

Their eyes all fell on Alice.

Alice froze as she listened to everyone discussing next to her, and only now did she sparsely follow everyone’s train of thought, and after confirming that it wasn’t that she had messed something up, she didn’t know what to think again, and her face took on a smug and happy look.

“…… We’ve always known that Alice is actually a ‘Profound Creature’ in a sense, but a lot of the time, we’ve only noticed the connection between her and the Frost Queen, Rae Nora, while ignoring the fact that her connection to the Profound Holy Masters The connection is the key point,” Duncan’s expression was a bit subtle as he looked at the mannequin who had somehow become complacent, and thought of the previous scene in the garden of that public house where he had established a connection with the Profound Holy Lord by chance, “Now it seems that this connection may be even more important than we thought, at least one thing can be sure now, she can understand the Profound Holy Lord in that ‘System Language’ used in the ‘Creation Blueprint’ ……”

Nina thought for a moment, “Like a punch analyzer can read the paper tape output from a differential?”

“…… It’s okay to read it that way.”

Alice looks at Duncan, then at the others around her, as if she has some questions she wants to ask, but suddenly she frowns again, as if she’s heard or seen something – after a moment she suddenly speaks, “The system rebooted.”

Duncan looked up instantly, and almost at the same time as Alice’s words fell, a low, disembodied roar suddenly reached every mind.

Accompanying this low rumble, which seemed to fill the world in an instant, Duncan noticed a haze in the sky outside the window – the

The sun, which had previously sunk down near sea level and had gone out and stood still there, rekindled.

Shirley was the first to run to the window, picking her head up to look out onto the street, where she saw the haze crossing the roofs of buildings while a group of Knowledge guards who were policing an intersection were looking up at the sky in wonder.

Nearby, some residents hiding in their homes reacted by opening their windows to look outside.

Shirley happily waved her hand in front of the window and greeted a certain neighbor who had appeared in front of another window not far away, but she didn’t get a response – everyone’s attention was on the sky where the haze had just reappeared.

And then, there was a faint sound of cheering from somewhere, and after a little while more, the sound of a loudspeaker broadcast came from the street intersection – the broadcast mentioned the news of the sun’s re-lighting, and again reminded the residents not to leave their homes for the time being, that the night would soon be upon them, and that martial law would continue this night until the next day’s sun rose as usual rises.

Duncan exhaled softly as he listened to the announcement that came faintly through his window, watching the haze fade a little from the sky.

The sun rises as usual …… Now, even this has become an uncertain thing.
