Zhou Ming stood in front of the mirror, staring at himself in the mirror quietly.

Such a clear and real mirror image - if he hadn't reached out and touched a cold and hard surface, he would even doubt whether the person standing opposite him was really "another self".

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze from the mirror and looked at the vast darkness around him.

How big is this space? If we continue to walk outward, can we reach infinity? What is the nature of this dark space? Why does it appear here, behind the Lost Home Gate? What is the connection between the Lost Home Gate in the subspace and the Lost Home Gate in the real world? And most importantly...

What are those words emerging in the darkness?

Zhou Ming moved away from the mirror, and the mirror quietly disappeared as he left. The figure in the mirror also disappeared into the darkness. As he walked, more pale words emerged in the darkness - describing everything related to him.

Like an extremely detailed personal file... a personal file registered in some crucial database, but it is of unknown use.

Zhou Ming felt that his associative ability was not enough - he tried to find a reasonable reason to explain everything he saw, but found that no matter how he reasoned, in the end it all looked like a bunch of pure fantasy.

He even began to think that there was a "Doomsday Shelter Plan" and that he was the one hiding in the shelter, but he was completely unaware of it. The bachelor apartment was his fortress of refuge, and the words that emerged in this dark space were the registration documents before he entered the shelter...

In the darkness, his thoughts flowed uncontrollably, but after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly gathered all his random thoughts.

"...Enough time has been wasted."

He muttered softly.

There are no more clues here, only phantoms that can shake his mind - no matter whether there is really a huge secret hidden in this dark space, or this is just another conspiracy and temptation of the subspace to himself, he should not waste time here and dwell on it.

Zhou Ming took a deep breath, letting his mind gradually calm down, and then decided to conduct one last test and exploration of this dark space before leaving.

He walked away, cautiously and carefully away from the door.

More text appeared under my feet - the content was similar to the previous ones, but more detailed and formal, and more and more like a registration document used in formal occasions.

While Zhou Ming was silently memorizing these words, he turned back from time to time to confirm the distance between himself and the door and to confirm whether he had lost his way in the darkness.

He walked more and more cautiously, and each step he took only moved a dozen centimeters forward.

Suddenly, he noticed that the words appearing under his feet had changed.

[￥#% of the situation&……% is @#?

￥@＊ is about 355 to ＊&, and there may be &……%%&……］

The text began to become jumbled, the sentences became strange and incomprehensible, and the originally clear and fluent records became something that was unreadable.

Zhou Ming's heart moved, but he did not stop moving forward. He just walked more carefully. As he continued to walk towards the edge of darkness, more words emerged in the darkness.

It was getting weirder and more confusing, and the frequency of confusion was increasing exponentially. At first, he could still see a few meaningful words in each sentence, but soon it reached a point where not a single word appeared in several sentences. Later on, he couldn't even see the "garbled codes".

What emerged from the darkness were no longer words and symbols, but a series of twisted and jumping lines, chaotic and restless light spots, and even all kinds of trembling projections that almost violated the laws of geometry.

As he walked forward, chaotic lights and shadows that were difficult for mortal minds to understand emerged in the darkness, as if some indescribable reflections at the edge of the universe transformed into a road extending forward under his feet.

Finally, even those chaotic jumping lines and spots of light finally disappeared, and nothing new appeared.

Zhou Ming stopped immediately.

He has not lost his mind and has not become addicted to the process of exploring the unknown.

He turned around and saw that the door he came from was only a dim light, but it still stood quietly in the darkness.

Zhou Ming decisively turned around and walked back - no matter what was in the depths of the darkness, the moment the information appearing under his feet reached an end, he knew that he could not go any further.

The speed of going back was faster than the speed of coming. It didn't take him long to cross the empty darkness and return to the "Gate of the Lost Homelander" leading to the Lost Homeland.

Putting his hand on the door, the solid texture made Zhou Ming, who had been wandering and exploring in the darkness for a long time, feel an inexplicable sense of security. Then he took a deep breath and stepped through the door.

The cool sea breeze blew towards him, and the bright sky that suddenly appeared in his field of vision made Duncan a little uncomfortable for a moment. The slight shaking under his feet and the sound of waves hitting his ears were delayed for a few tenths of a second before appearing in his perception - perhaps it was because he stayed in a silent place for too long, and the sound of waves hitting suddenly appeared like thunder.

Duncan was suddenly stunned.

He checked his surroundings and saw the familiar Lost Homeland, the familiar boundless ocean, and the sun hanging in the sky, bound by double runes.

He returned to the real dimension.

This unexpected situation made him a little confused, because a second before he stepped through the gate in the darkness, he was still thinking about how to continue exploring on the "Broken Lost Homeland" to find a way to return, but he didn't expect that after crossing the gate there, he would go straight back to reality... What is the pattern in between?

If one wants to return to the real dimension from the "Broken Homelander" that is suspected to be located in the subspace, one only needs to use the Homelander's Gate as a transit?

He turned around thoughtfully and saw that he was standing in front of the captain's room. The Door of the Lost Homeland was standing quietly in the sun, and the few words on the door frame were shining in the skylight.

Duncan's mind instantly became active.

There are many doors on the Homelander, but only three of them are special. The first is the "Door of the Homelander", the second is the gloomy wooden door leading to the bottom hold deep in the cabin, which is marked with the sign "The Last Door", and the third is the door standing in the middle of the bottom of the cabin. It connects the subspace and the real dimension, and may be called the "Subspace Gate".

On the "Broken Homelander", the marks on the door frames of both the "last door" leading to the bottom cabin and the "warp door" have been erased. Only the "Wanderer's Door" in front of the captain's room remains exactly the same, both in the real dimension and in the warp.

Now it seems that this "consistency" may have marked the real "exit" from the very beginning!

With a vague answer in his mind, Duncan breathed a sigh of relief and then walked forward and pushed open the door of the captain's room.

After crossing the door, he confirmed that it was not darkness on the other side, but his bachelor apartment - everything was normal in the room.

Then he returned to the ship and this time opened the door of the captain's room.

The familiar chart room, the familiar exquisite furnishings, the familiar table, and the familiar goat's head on the table.

For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of security when he saw the goat's head was still on the table.

The goat-headed man turned his head immediately after hearing the noise coming from the door, and heard a creaking sound of wood rubbing against each other from his neck: "Name?"

"Duncan Abnomal, it's me. I'm back," Duncan said immediately. He had long guessed that the other party would confirm with him. This goat head could sense whether he had left the Lost Homeland, and might even sense some "changes" in him to a certain extent. Its "name confirmation" seemed a bit arbitrary on the surface, but there seemed to be a pattern in it. "I went to a very far place."

"Ah, Captain! You're finally back!" The goat-headed creature immediately made an exaggerated and attentive voice, as noisy as ever. "You suddenly left the ship completely, and I was really shocked! When you normally walk in the spirit world, you at least leave your body here! But just now all your aura disappeared... and now you're back from the deck? Where did you go?"

All the smell was gone? Completely off the ship?

Duncan's eyes changed slightly in an instant.

It turned out that I entered the place that seemed to be the subspace with my real body, and not the "projection of consciousness" as I initially thought!

He raised his head and looked into the goat-head's dark eyes. He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Don't be scared when I tell you."

"Oh, don't worry, your first mate is not only loyal and brave, but also brave and loyal..."

"I went to the Warp."

Goat Head: “……?!”

After a full half minute, the guy suddenly made a cracking sound, and his neck seemed to be broken: "Ship...ship...captain?! You said you..."

"I went to the warp, if I'm not mistaken," Duncan said as he walked into the captain's room and picked up the lantern on the shelf next to him. "Wait for me."

After saying that, without waiting for Goat-Head to speak, he directly left the captain's room with the lantern in hand, and then almost rushed through the decks and cabins, heading straight to the bottom floor of the Lost Hometown.

He passed through the "last door" and came to the shattered bottom of the cabin.

The gaps between the hull and the cabin were still dark and chaotic. Not many details could be seen within the limited field of vision. One could only see chaotic light and shadow turbulence and occasional flashes jumping and flowing in the darkness.

And the most dangerous "Subspace Gate" stood quietly in the center of the cabin.

The door was closed tightly, leaving no gap at all.
