15 Confucius Jigsaw Puzzle 1
◎Luminous Barrage◎
The silver spaceship flew over the market at high speed and headed towards the audience lounge area.
Zhu Heng's gaze moved from the spaceship to the blue round hole in the air, and then fell on the market. He glanced around casually twice, and then stopped at a certain place.
A strange thing appeared in front of his vision.
Across the market, near the edge, there was a colorful glowing object floating in the air, like a ball of dough that could be kneaded, changing its shape at random.
Strangely, no one at the market reacted.
No one noticed?
The unidentified object was blatantly lying above people's heads, as if it was not afraid of being found at all.
Zhu Heng's heart moved and he looked around.
Tao Ran was chatting with the man with glasses, the scholar was choosing weapons in front of the sword stall, the peasant girl was queuing up to buy food, and the craftsman blended into the crowd and disappeared.
Zhu Heng withdrew his gaze, his face expressionless, turned around, and walked forward, passing through the crowd, and finally stopped at the outermost edge of the market - in front of the unidentified object.
One more step forward and you will see the vast blue sea.
He couldn't help but reach out his hand, wanting to touch the thing.
He put his fingers through it, but found nothing.
There was an invisible wall in front of him, which was a protection to prevent stall owners and customers from accidentally stepping into empty space.
It seems I can't go out.
Zhu Heng slowly retracted his hand and stared at the unidentified object. He had a strong intuition that this thing was coming for him.
He felt it was looking at him.
At this moment, the unidentified object suddenly moved, and a spindle-shaped crack appeared in the air behind it, like a corner of a stage curtain being pulled open. It was surrounded by bright sunshine, and the inside was bottomless.
Zhu Heng frowned and his heart skipped a beat.
The unidentified object slowly moved forward.
The invisible wall could stop Zhu Heng, but it could not stop the unidentified object. It easily penetrated the wall and went behind Zhu Heng.
Zhu Heng glanced sideways, a trace of doubt rising in his heart. What was that thing... planning to do?
Suddenly, without warning, a massive force slammed into his back, as if someone had kicked him hard in the darkness. Before he could steady himself, he was caught off guard and fell, plummeting uncontrollably from the edge of the platform into the crack below.
If someone were to stand to the side of the crack at this moment, they would see a strange sight: like standing a flat piece of paper upright on a table, it would appear rectangular from the front, but a straight line from the side. The crack was as thin as a paper line, and Zhu Heng's body fell into the paper-shaped crack. The next moment, the crack became like a giant black mouth, swallowing him whole. A living person, vanished into thin air without a trace.
Zhu Heng fell into endless darkness. The platform in his sight gradually shrank into a dot, and the noise in the distance receded like the tide, completely disappearing into silence.
In this strange space, the wind seemed to take shape, like a pair of invisible hands, supporting his body and allowing him to slowly descend. His movements gradually became lighter, like a floating feather, slowly drifting towards the endless darkness.
---
After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Heng finally landed on his butt.
After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly opened his eyes and saw darkness in front of him.
Is he blind? He held his hand across his eyes, making out vague outlines, then touched his eyelids to confirm they were still on his face.
Zhu Heng calmed down and stood up from the ground.
After slightly adjusting to the darkness, his vision gradually became focused on reality, and he vaguely saw several human silhouettes appearing in front of him.
It seems that he is not the only one here, there are other people.
A calm female voice rang out from the darkness, directed towards the direction where Zhu Heng landed: "Is this the fifth one?"
"Yes." Another young female voice counted in the darkness and replied, "We only need one more viewer. The episode can begin."
Zhu Heng touched his temples and shook his head to quickly relieve the dizziness from falling from a high altitude and almost suffering a concussion.
"Wait, wait! How long do we have to wait?" A hoarse voice cursed, "Don't they send people in only when there are six of them? Why did they disperse everyone this time? I asked the system, and it didn't say anything." Yan Shanting
"Why are you in such a hurry? You're not in a hurry to reincarnate." The young female voice responded to him, her voice drawn out and full of disgust.
The duck-voiced man immediately became angry: "Can you speak?"
The young woman snorted coldly, seemingly not afraid at all, and the situation was filled with tension for a moment.
"Alright, alright, what are you arguing about?" A slightly older, gruff male voice stopped their exchange. He coughed twice and said, "Little brother over there, are you hungry? I have some dried meat strips here."
Zhu Heng was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was asking him.
"No, thank you," he replied.
"That's fine." The rough man didn't insist, and turned to look at the others. "Then I'll give it to you, one each."
The duck-like voice called out, "Dad—now that you've divided it all up, what if there's not enough food later?"
But the old man ignored him: "If it's not enough, tell me later."
The duck-voiced man was about to retort when a familiar system prompt popped up at that moment.
Welcome to "A General History of the Universe," Episode 2: Confucius's Jigsaw Puzzle.
Everyone's progress in following the drama is different. When the system reports the episode number, it is specially customized, and the episode number heard by each person is different. Zhu Heng heard "two".
Everyone was stunned. How could it start when everyone wasn't there yet?
The system introduces:
It was an ordinary morning during the Spring and Autumn Period. People should have welcomed the arrival of a new sun, but for unknown reasons, the sun never rose again. Amidst the darkness, a statue of Confucius rose from the ground, gazing long at the pitch-black Chinese landscape. The statue kept saying, "My puzzle piece is missing. Can anyone help me find it?" Dear viewers, can you help Confucius find his puzzle piece and piece together his ideal world?
Without waiting for anyone to react, the system added:
[In addition, because the world of this episode is too special, we are temporarily developing a "luminous barrage" function for the audience to facilitate your confirmation of your teammates' positions.]
When the system finished speaking, a glowing text box appeared above everyone's head, showing everyone's identity.
The sudden brightness, even though it wasn't glaring at all, forced everyone to subconsciously close their eyes.
They had been in the dark for too long, and the slightest light made them uncomfortable, but they couldn't help but feel happy. This was the first light they had seen since they arrived here.
After getting used to the glowing barrage, everyone was finally able to see their teammates clearly in the faint light.
Opposite Zhu Heng was a young man with an immature face. He wore a pair of glasses with slightly crooked legs. His suit was too formal, making him look a little stiff. The text box above his head read "A greenhorn entering the workplace".
The droopy voice just now came from him.
The duck-voiced man's face darkened: "You are the one who is ignorant. Your whole family is ignorant."
Next to the duck-voiced man stood a big man who should be the old man's father.
The old man's face was half covered with a beard, his skin was red with a hint of purple, and he looked to be in his early fifties. His body was full of tendons, his fingers were shiny and oily as if they were coated with starch, and his knuckles were covered with a thick layer of calluses.
His text box reads "Guanxi Butcher of the Song Dynasty".
The moment they saw the dynasty above his head, they were all stunned and subconsciously tried to confirm the dynasty of the man with the duck voice.
The duck-voiced man glanced at everyone, stiffened his neck, and explained impatiently, "We were in the same group last episode. I called him Dad."
Everyone suddenly realized that they were really father and son.
Then this duck voice is a bit unfair. He cares about everything and even whether a teammate who has no blood relationship with you sends meat strips or not.
Everyone's eyes turned towards Duck Voice with a subtle look.
The man with the duck voice was too lazy to explain and rolled his eyes at the young woman who had just argued with him.
She was a flamboyant and gorgeous woman dressed in a bright red dress. She looked to be in her early twenties, with almond eyes like black grapes, cherry-red lips like petals, and her chin held high, giving her an overbearing look.
The words above her head read "A daughter of the aristocratic Wang family of Langya, Jiangzuo, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
When everyone saw her identity introduction, they were immediately filled with joy as if they had found a treasure.
They are from the same family as Wang Xizhi in history!
Since he comes from such a distinguished background, he should be quite talented and knowledgeable...
The fourth one was the one Zhu Heng heard first, the woman with an extremely calm voice.
He was very thin, wearing a dark yellow straight-skirted dress, with a red headband tying up his black hair. His face was sickly pale, his eyes were indifferent and calm, and he exuded a scholarly air.
Everyone was stunned and thought to themselves that this guy looked like someone important.
When I looked at the text box above the other person's head again, sure enough, it said "Historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty".
Historian?
Or a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty?
Everyone's breath caught slightly, they were so awesome.
Teaming up with the historian, they can get such a good thing. Could it be that the system has started to behave like a human?
From this perspective, each person in this group is more powerful than the other. How awesome must the last one, Zhu Heng, be?
Thinking of this, everyone was ecstatic and turned their heads to look.
This man with pale skin and a frozen expression had a text box above his head that seemed to be twitching like wind, jumping back and forth between several identities, such as "old farmer in the mountains", "bridge killer", "hot monk", and "city beauty"...
With every jump, Zhu Heng's face became darker.
Everyone's eyes followed the text box, what the hell?
The text box jumped wildly for a long time, and was frightened by Zhu Heng's expression. Finally, under the pressure of his power, he chose four huge and awe-inspiring characters:
One, lone, wolf.
Everyone: “……?”
Dad couldn't help but mutter, "What does this mean? How come I've never heard of this before?"
Queen Kunshu of the aristocratic family pounded her fist into her palm and seriously speculated, "'Yi Pi' should refer to a certain dynasty in the future, and 'Lone Wolf' could be some kind of profession."
Dad also thought it made sense and said, "Oh," "That's right."
Only the hoarse voice of the office worker next to him made the veins on his forehead throb.
He subconsciously looked at Zhu Heng, but found that this lone wolf seemed to be completely indifferent to everyone's reaction. At this moment, he was lowering his eyes, slightly absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhu Heng was looking behind him.
His sight turned and stopped less than half a meter behind.
There stood a black creature.
Is that... someone?
At this time, the system spoke again: Yanshan stopped
[A total of six viewers were detected this time, from the Han Dynasty, Eastern Jin Dynasty, Song Dynasty, modern times, modern times, and unknown. ]
After hearing the system's last sentence, everyone's faces changed color.
Where did this sixth person come from? And the dynasty is still unknown?
The man with the duck voice still kept his gaze on Zhu Heng. As he looked at him, his brows suddenly furrowed. He pushed his glasses that had slipped down back up his nose, squinted his eyes slightly, and tried to refocus his gaze.
Why was the lone wolf's glowing barrage brighter than theirs? Furthermore, the edges were a bit blurry, a bit blurry, and it even moved...
etc.
The duck voice was stunned for a long time.
It looks like two luminous barrages are superimposed on each other?
