"Actually, this world isn't quite what we imagine it to be."
Zhang Xiaoman slowly turned around, facing in the direction of the monster's corpse, trying to make his face appear calm.
"The world we see is not its true form..."
Zhang Xiaoman's face was calm, his eyes slightly squinting forward, outwardly nonchalant, but inside his mind was frantically thinking about what to say next.
Brother Hero had also recovered from the recent crisis.
Following Zhang Xiaoman's gaze towards the monster's corpse still stuck inside the car, and thinking back to what Zhang Xiaoman had just said, waves of speculation about the truth of the world began to emerge in his mind.
"This, this... Xia... Brother Man, are you saying that monsters like this are actually hidden around us? Are we just ordinary humans living in ignorance...?"
Brother Hero stammered.
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but mentally applaud the guy's cooperation; he was worrying about the plot, and here he was, delivering the outline like divine assistance.
Zhang Xiaoman slightly turned his head to glance at him, then lifted his feet and slowly walked toward the direction of the Faceless Monster's corpse, starting to bluff:
"In this world, darkness lurks in every corner, constantly spying on us, the spread of evil has never ceased..."
Brother Hero swallowed hard upon hearing this. He stepped in time behind Zhang Xiaoman, his face a complex mix of fear, anticipation, and excitement.
His hands began to tremble slightly again, his whole being filled with excitement about to uncover the truth, as if he were seeing the gates to the Extraordinary World opening before him.
"Man, Man Brother, are there many of these monsters?"
Zhang Xiaoman came right next to the monster, slowing his movements down a bit more to give himself more time to think about the next part of his script.
His expression placid, he slowly turned his head to look at Brother Hero and then said slowly, "They are... endless..."
Brother Hero gasped sharply.
"They come from endless darkness, invading our world through various means, not only with bizarre abilities but also bringing pollution and corruption. For ordinary people who encounter them, the outcome is often more deadly than lucky..."
Zhang Xiaoman wasn't lying with this statement; these were the speculations he had begun to form after encountering monsters a few times.
Brother Hero, however, had his eyes wide with disbelief and asked, "Do you mean they all come from other planes? Or are you saying, they are actually aliens?"
Zhang Xiaoman secretly wiped sweat from his face. How was he supposed to know the answers to these questions? He himself was completely confused at the moment.
But since the bluff had already started, Zhang Xiaoman naturally couldn't stop midway. So, he simply closed his eyes and decided to make things up altogether.
"The Endless Plane, as you understand it, has not actually transcended our universe. Worlds overlap with each other inherently. After analyzing space and time, there's genuinely no distance between planets, just like you standing where I just walked by. After eliminating the limitations of time and space, we might consider ourselves to be standing in the same place. Our universe itself is nothing but a point. This point is what we call a singularity."
"Beyond the singularity, there are countless other singularities, each different from our own singularity and each governed by a set of rules that totally exceed our understanding. Perhaps the time and space you understand do not even exist in another singularity. And that realm, made up of endless such singularities, we call the High-dimensional Domain. It is a place beyond human imagination, where endless information can instantly overwhelm your mind."
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but click his tongue as he said this; he felt like he was making up a science fiction novel, unable to stop once the creativity flowed.
"In the High-dimensional Domain, each singularity follows entirely different rules, and these rules constantly change. When the rules inside one singularity change to become similar or even identical to another, those two points begin to merge. And the situation we're now facing... these monsters are from another singularity that is merging with ours..."
Brother Hero, with his mouth open, looked at Zhang Xiaoman in complete bafflement, scratching his head as he said:
"This, I kind of don't understand... It feels a bit different from what the teachers taught..."
Zhang Xiaoman rolled his eyes internally, of course you don't understand, I don't even know what I just said myself, how could you possibly understand?
"Brother Man, although I don't understand what you're saying, I feel like you seem very powerful. How did you learn all this? We've been friends for so many years, and I didn't even know you knew all this... So, can you explain it to me in more detail...?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman sighed softly, speaking in a deep and serious tone:
"Brother Hero, actually, I didn't want to tell you these things, but since you've already encountered them today, I can tell you..."
As he spoke, his tone became more grave:
"But Brother Hero, are you truly ready to accept all of this? Mental alignment is also a manifestation of our universal rules. In this rule fusion, it significantly increases the likelihood of encountering monsters again! Do you really want to know?"
Brother Hero shuddered all over. He glanced subconsciously at the monster corpse beside him, then turned to look at Zhang Xiaoman, his face full of conflict.
"I, I..."
Brother Hero bowed his head, hesitating to speak.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't rush him, but quietly waited for him to make a decision.
Having said so much, Zhang Xiaoman himself had also begun to entertain a somewhat crazy idea, although he had not yet decided to act on it.
In a sense, Brother Hero's choice was not only about himself.
To some extent, his decision would also influence Zhang Xiaoman's next actions.
Brother Hero lowered his head in contemplation for a while, various emotions flitting across his eyes: fear, cluelessness, desire, unwillingness…
Finally, he gritted his teeth, raised his head to look directly at Zhang Xiaoman and said:
"Xiao Man, I've made up my mind! I don't want to live blindfolded all my life! Please tell me the truth!"
Zhang Xiaoman had already seen his choice in Brother Hero's gradually fierce gaze, and at the same time, he had also made his decision, that somewhat crazy plan.
"Then, I will start by telling you some things..."
