After rushing to the window, Zhou Ming finally confirmed that what he saw was not an illusion - there were real words on the window! And they were written in the city-state's common language from outside!

The words were blurry and trembled slightly on the glass in a strange state, as if they were not written on the hard and stable glass surface, but reflected in the illusory mist. Zhou Ming stared at the letters for a long time before he finally saw the content from those blurry and mirror-flipped words.

【I'm outside, you're inside. 】

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment - he felt as if he had just seen some nonsense.

A certain being would go to so much trouble to leave a message outside his "cocoon of protection" just for such nonsense?

He instinctively felt a little amused, but then he frowned, vaguely thinking of something.

Zhou Ming slowly stood up from the window, looked at the gray mist outside, frowned and thought.

He now has a vague guess about what is outside his "apartment". Even though he is still uncertain about the details, he has roughly grasped some rules of this place, or in other words... some rules in the most basic logic of this world.

The constraints of "information" are of great significance. The expression of "information" is the cornerstone of order, and on this basis, "symbolism" is given a real and effective... "function" in this world.

He seemed to understand something in his heart, and when he looked up at the line of text again, his eyes changed slightly. He vaguely guessed that it was not a language used to "communicate" with himself.

It was an "anchor point", something... some being who mastered and knew how to use the "truth" had "anchored" itself outside this room.

Zhou Ming suddenly frowned, and he suddenly recalled one thing: the knock on the door coming from the black fog when he returned here last time!

The next second, it was as if the thoughts in his mind had really pried open the reality. At the moment when this memory just emerged, a sound suddenly appeared in his ears - bang bang bang.

Zhou Ming looked suddenly towards the door of the apartment, but then he realized that the sound this time was not coming from the direction of the door, but from the side: someone was knocking on the window.

He looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw that there was still gray-white fog outside the window. Through the transparent glass, there seemed to be nothing in the fog. Only the sound of knocking echoed on the surface of the glass, as if there was an invisible visitor standing outside the window, waiting...

Waiting for the owner of this "hut" to get to know him.

For some reason, Zhou Ming thought of those "fish".

He leaned toward the window again and placed his hand on the glass where the knocking sound came from. He tried to sense and listen - the knocking sound continued, and gradually, he felt a vibration in his palm.

He raised his head and looked at the flowing fog, as if he was quietly looking at the "visitor" in the fog through the transparent glass. He imagined a guest, a guest who "might appear here" among all possibilities and reasonable branches.

At the end of this order, this place that is detached from everything in the world and close to the foundation of the world, who would knock on his window?

A hazy shadow appeared in the mist, and almost at the moment when the shadow appeared, Zhou Ming finally sensed a familiar breath through the thick curtain - the breath came from his flame, a cluster of flames that had been released long ago and once thought to have dissipated.

The flames made his cognition instantly complete, and the "visitor in the fog" finally collapsed into an entity.

The hazy gray fog outside the window suddenly collapsed, and the seemingly eternal "scenery" turned into a brightly lit, gorgeously styled "room" within a Planck time, which seemed incompatible with the apartment scene on this side of the window. On the opposite side of the window, a beautiful lady was opening her eyes in surprise, and seemed to be stunned by the amazing changes before her eyes.

"Love..." Zhou Ming blurted out subconsciously the moment he saw the silver-haired figure, but he immediately reacted, "No, Lei Nora - is it really you?!"

The final fact completed the directional collapse, and the scene outside the window finally stabilized completely.

Outside the window was the Frost Queen Lenoir, who was the "visitor in the fog". She was still staring at Zhou Ming - strictly speaking, she was staring at an indescribable existence that was entrenched in some vast and incomprehensible chaotic space.

Endless and distant starlight was reflected in her eyes, and the starlight had shone through the "glass" into her room, giving the bedroom that was once part of "Alice Mansion" a faint starlight, as if it would fall into the starry sky at any time.

But suddenly, Lenora's eyes became lively again. She seemed to have finally broken free from the influence of the starlight and "recovered" her sanity under Zhou Ming's gaze. She opened her mouth and seemed to be saying something, but through the window, only vague syllables could be heard -

"...I see...a light..."

Zhou Ming frowned, then subconsciously pushed the window, trying to hear what the other party was saying.

The window is open.

Zhou Ming stood there in a daze, staring at the window with a dull expression. It was not until a long time later that he realized what had happened - the window was open!

After such a long time, after the thick fog blocked this room for such a long time, this window... could be opened so easily?!

He was stunned for a long time, and finally came to his senses, his eyes fell on the "Frost Queen" opposite him.

Lenora saw the curtain filled with flowing light suddenly open before her eyes - the most amazing and incredible thing happened in this "drifting journey".

At the end of time and space, an individual with "intelligence" and perhaps even "humanity" appeared in her sight.

Although she could not see any definite shape in the huge and chaotic starlight, and could not see anything that could be understood rationally in the maddening nest, she realized almost instantly that the "entity" was sentient - it responded to her call and opened a corner of the nest. Now, a "limb" was extending from the starlight and slowly falling towards her. Millions of eyes were flashing at the end of the limb, making a hoarse and harsh noise -

"It's really you," Zhou Ming looked up and down at the "Queen" in disbelief. "Wait a minute, I'm a little confused, I need to sort it out... Why are you here? You left Alice Mansion and have been drifting... on the border? Were you the one knocking on the door last time?"

The vibrations among the stars were maddening, and the harsh noise reshaped Lenora's sanity over and over again. She frowned, watching the "limb" swaying in front of her eyes, and the countless mouthpieces at the end of the limb were roaring at her, but gradually... she found that she was beginning to understand.

She was gradually understanding the whispers of the stars - the stars were asking her why she was there.

"I'm traveling," she said subconsciously, "I floated in the spirit world, and then fell into the ripples of the warp... At the end of everything, I was trapped in this fog, but a beam of light guided my direction, and I followed the light and saw this magnificent 'palace'..."

She raised her head and took two steps back, looking at the huge structure that seemed to stand in eternal time - it was like an awe-inspiring "cocoon", floating in this place that seemed to be the end of the world. She didn't know how many years it had been floating for, and now a crack opened on the surface of the "cocoon", and an ancient and astonishing existence spoke to her from this crack. Every syllable and every tremor of its words seemed to contain truths that were enough to drive people crazy a thousand times.

But she felt that she had gradually stabilized and was even able to withstand the impact of this truth, and her thinking was quickly becoming stable.

Lenora was surprised at the changes that had taken place in herself - she had not expected that she could regain her "sanity" after such a reckless "contact".

She didn't even realize that her voice was mixed with layers of tremors, and the bright starlight was already imprinted in her vision.

"You fell into the subspace?" Zhou Ming frowned in surprise. Although he felt that Lenora's state was a little strange when she answered him, he didn't think much about it. He just subconsciously looked at her to confirm whether there was any sign of subspace contamination, "...Why are people doing subspace butterfly strokes these days..."

Lenora felt a little dazed, and the stars began to tremble in her soul again. This time, she could not understand the meaning of these tremors, but she found that... she was gradually seeing a stable "entity" from the expanding and wriggling starlight and the "limb".

It seems that there is a person standing in that magnificent "nest".

She frowned and tilted her head slightly: "Are you inviting me in?"

Zhou Ming was stunned when he heard this - when did he invite him?

But he quickly put this doubt aside.

Of course he didn't mind having someone come in as a guest - rather, he had been looking forward to this for a long time. After all, he had always been alone in this closed "cage", so wouldn't it be a good thing to have a guest now?

He was just a little embarrassed.

Looking down at the windowsill, he smiled awkwardly: "Then you have to climb in through the window... I don't know how to get you into the house from the door..."

That ancient and amazing being confirmed the invitation - now it stepped aside, and the crack in the nest opened to itself, and the light containing truth and knowledge was open to her.

Leigh Nora walked towards the light without hesitation.

Zhou Ming watched the other party climb over through the window without any concern, and was deeply touched by the swift and decisive style of action of "Her Majesty the Queen" - he could only say that she was worthy of being the person who dared to come up with the "Deep Dive Plan" decades ago, and her execution ability was better than that of ordinary people.

But he still couldn't help but remind him: "Hey, be careful, don't fall..."

Lenore went through the window.

The reality she saw collapsed and reshaped.

Her Majesty the Queen fell heavily to the floor.

"oops!"
