Did the world end today?

Chapter 66 Similar
Five minutes after making the call, Lin Xu met Bai Mo.

The latter had clearly recovered somewhat from the shock she had experienced earlier. Although her expression still carried a hint of barely perceptible timidity when facing Lin Xu, she had essentially regained the "calm and rational" demeanor she had when she first met Lin Xu.

"Mr. Lin."

Bai Mo closed the office door. Lin Xu gestured to the sofa for her to sit down, but instead of immediately discussing business, he asked:
"Have you completed the onboarding process? How's the job? Can you accept it?"

"no problem."

Bai Mo nodded immediately and replied:

"I've finished reading the project documentation and am now familiarizing myself with the code."

"Your code is very clear and well-structured, and not difficult to understand."

"That's good."

Lin Xu sat down opposite Bai Mo and then said:

"The next step will depend on you to drive the Star Travel One project forward—I believe that with your abilities, you won't be limited to just a flight control engineer position."

"You should be able to walk very fast, and you must walk fast."

"Strive to climb higher; to achieve your goals, you need to reach a high enough position."

"I see."

Bai Mo opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately did not speak.

Lin Xu stopped wasting time and said directly:
"Let's get straight to the point."

"I want to know the specific details of how you entered that space. I want to know how you entered that space."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mo frowned.

After a moment of contemplation, she shook her head and replied:
"I do not know."

"If I look back now, it was just an ordinary afternoon."

"When I'm reading in my dorm, one second I'm seeing the words on the page, and the next second I'm already in that space."

"Time seemed to have no meaning in that space; I find it hard to describe that feeling."

"It felt like I had been in that space for years, but when I suddenly looked at the words on the book again, I realized that only a moment had passed."

“Ever since then, I have been searching for a way to re-enter that space.”

"But I still haven't found it."

"You are the first person I have met who claims to have also entered that space and has actually produced evidence."

"Everyone else is either a fraud or thinks I'm writing some kind of science fiction and doesn't take it seriously at all."

"and many more."

Lin Xu interrupted Bai Mo.

"other people?"

"Have you talked about this with other people?"

"Yes."

Bai Mo nodded frankly and said:

“I posted a series of messages online, hoping to find people who have had the same experience.”

"The internet is already quite advanced now. Theoretically speaking, if such a person really existed, I should have found him long ago."

But in fact, no.

No similar cases found
Lin Xu vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

According to the information he obtained, there should be quite a few people with higher-dimensional experiences in the future.

After all, even by his side, there were already two people: Bai Mo and his skull-headed wife.

Not to mention, there are many such people within the Planetary Reincarnation Organization, who even promote these people as some kind of miracle.

Since they are identified as "miracles" rather than "leaders," it means that such an experience is not unique, but rather a kind of widespread "blessing."

Following this logic, if Bai Mo had been truly dedicated to searching, he shouldn't have come up empty-handed.

Or is it that everyone who has had a similar experience is actively hiding themselves?
Not too possible.

Lin Xu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:
"Let me see what you posted online." "No problem."

Bai Mo took out his phone, made a few simple gestures, and handed it to Lin Xu.

Lin Xu glanced at it and exclaimed, "Good heavens, it's Tieba!"

"You posted this here?"

Bai Mo shrugged and replied:

"I analyzed all the social media platforms and found that posting on Baidu Tieba was the most effective."

"At least here I can get real feedback."

"Other platforms."

"People on Tianya think I'm telling ghost stories, people on Zhihu think I'm writing short stories, Douyin is full of things like 'preparing for the end of the world,' and Kuaishou... well, let's not even mention it."

".reality."

Lin Xu looked at the screen with amusement. He had thought Bai Mo would come up with an explosive title, but at a glance, she was very restrained in her wording.

Has anyone ever experienced something that doesn't belong to this world?

Lin Xu paused for a moment, then clicked into the post.

In the main text, Bai Mo described in detail everything she saw in that higher-dimensional space. Most of the content was not much different from what she had sent herself. The only difference was that she was obviously not as calm as she was four years later.

She was so frightened that her description became somewhat incoherent.

However, it is precisely this incoherent state that makes her seem more real and believable.

The post was very popular, with hundreds of replies across more than ten pages.

Lin Xu read through the replies one by one and found that, just as Bai Mo had said, the vast majority of the replies were meaningless.

Some people are earnestly explaining higher dimensions, some are suggesting she see a psychiatrist, some say she's been haunted, and of course, others are sharing their own experiences in the thread.

But most of the so-called "experiences" are obviously fabricated, even at a glance.

The remaining 10% is nothing more than nonsense mixed with the delusions, superstitions, and kitsch of the replies.

It's really useless.

Lin Xu flipped through the posts page by page, his disappointment growing stronger.
-
If Bai Mo doesn't know how to get in and can't find other people in the same situation to get clues...
Then we might have to go to the bracelet world and try to ask the skull's wife.

However, Lin Xu didn't have much faith in Skull Head's wife.

She has been completely "destroyed" and is incapable of using reason to combat the chaos and madness brought about by the higher-dimensional impact, just like Bai Mo.

"The guys on Tieba are still not up to par."

Lin Xu sighed with a hint of sarcasm.

Bai Mo, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps it's because the information on the internet is too complex, making it difficult for people with effective information to truly establish communication."

"I once thought about going directly to the authorities and asking them to help me uncover the truth."

"But at that time, I had absolutely no evidence and no way to convince anyone."

"I understand, that is indeed a problem."

Lin Xu nodded.

Therefore, the seeds of Bai Mo's cooperation with the government had been sown long ago, which explains why she appeared at Zhongshan Sanatorium.

At this point, the post had been turned to the last page.

Lin Xu had completely given up on finding clues here.

But at that moment, he was shocked to find a picture in the third-to-last reply on the last page.

Sun ring.

I don't know where the annular solar image was taken from.

But without a doubt, this is the same one that he and Jiang Xingye saw before!
Below the picture, there is another line of text.

"The first annular solar eclipse occurred in 2021, and it has happened four times since then. Your experience is related to the annular solar eclipse, and so is mine!"
