Chapter 599: Chapter 20: Material Perception and Dimensional Levels_2

Yes.

The seemingly commonsensical scientific assertion that ghosts do not exist has been proven wrong.

So, are all the laws of classical physics truly correct?

"Now, let me explain to you. Even if you don’t understand, don’t ask questions just yet."

"Okay."

Gao Menghua’s body leaned slightly backward as she clenched her fists.

She was finally about to reveal the results of her research.

"Space and time are nothing but illusions to the inhabitants of lower-dimensional levels, meaning that our perception of space and time can essentially be considered ’illusions.’ The Netherworld is a material level that leans more towards higher dimensions."

Ying Ziye remained silent.

"Beings on low-dimensional levels feel that their realm possesses space, but what they perceive as movement does not exist in the eyes of higher dimensions. The passage of time is the same, life perceives its material constantly changing as time elapses, but this perception of change is also an illusion. The space that can be traversed, the time that continually passes, yet neither has a beginning nor an end—that is imperceptible to humans. Because time and space are meaningless, on a higher-dimensional level, whether you are now at the Oroñe Hotel or in City K doesn’t make a difference. Similarly, because time is meaningless, whether you are thirty-year-old Ying Ziye or twenty-year-old Ying Ziye is also irrelevant. Hence... from a higher-dimensional point of view, different versions of you across time and space can coexist. It’s just that your perception is unable to feel it."

Gao Menghua continued, "From the perspective of higher-dimensional levels, what is the nature of low-dimensional life? It’s quite simple. We’re always in a state of motion, yet in reality, we’re merely existing on a single level. Whether we’re sleeping, moving, talking, or not talking, dead or alive, none of it has significance. Since death is also meaningless, the soul naturally retains perception after death. Of course, this is just one interpretation and theory for the existence of ghosts post-mortem, and cannot encompass all curses."

All matter, as well as the physical laws associated with it, are nothing but void and meaningless. Only in this way can the existence of ghosts, curses, apartments, and hospitals be explained.

"Now I will give you some examples to explain the concepts of high and low dimensions, as well as parallel worlds."

"For example, you consider two places to go to when you get up in the morning, but within the limited time, you can only go to one place. Let’s call one location A and the other B. The possibility that you will go to either place in the future is exactly the same; your consciousness may instantly make a decision that represents the future of a specific time and space. But such choices only make sense on a low-dimensional level. From the perspective of a higher dimension, it’s like a player controlling a character in a game, who can go both to place A and B without any conflict. As a result, it seems that different parallel times and spaces are generated, but in essence, it’s the same person, the same level."

Just as a game may have different outcomes based on the choices of the three-dimensional world player—either life or death—the two-dimensional game characters remain the same. Those who survive and those who die can coexist because, in the two-dimensional world, concepts of time and space do not exist.

"Parallel times and spaces are not different planes, but rather the same level. Let me clarify, time and space are only used to aid your understanding—I said this for your convenience. In reality, these concepts are unsuitable for explaining to you."

"Okay, I understand. Please continue."

"Having said this far, you should realize that parallel times and spaces may seem to interact, and individuals from different parallel times and spaces seem to be different people; however, in essence... at the higher-dimensional level, they are the same person. However, the higher-dimensional level may gradually erode and influence the lower-dimensional levels. This is the Netherworld—a time and space extremely similar to our world, yet with slight differences."

What followed was the most difficult theory for Gao Menghua to explain.

"Look," Gao Menghua picked up a wet piece of note paper, "as I’ve said before, temperature is just a physical concept born from the subjective experience of low-dimensional living beings. Temperature is a void physical concept, and so in the concepts of thermodynamics in physics, absolute zero remains merely a concept, one that can never truly be reached in reality. Precisely for this reason, when faced with curses, temperatures can always drop suddenly without any rationale. You should have much experience with this since temperature is originally a void concept of low dimensions."

Then, she pinched the note paper in front of her.

"This is a wet note paper. Since temperature is a non-existent concept, whether this paper is wet or dry fundamentally makes no significant difference. And at the higher-dimensional level..."

At that moment...

Klein and Dai Wei stood in front of the carpet in the dining room.

"You spilled a drop of blood here..."

"Yes. So..."

Looking at the drop of blood in front of him, Klein said, "Well, that’s a bit troubling."

Afterward, he said, "People from the low-dimensional realm will soon notice the existence of this drop of blood. The unstable curse will happen very quickly."

"What... do you mean?"

Klein turned to Dai Wei and said, "It is indeed time to tell you some things. The world we live in leans more towards a low-dimensional realm that has been eroded by the high-dimensional realm, making it a sort of Netherworld for the low-dimensional realm."

"I don’t quite... understand..."

"Space, time, life or death, are all concepts of the low-dimensional realm. To the truly ineffable twisted existences of the high-dimensional realm, there is no difference between life and death. Likewise, different spaces, changes in matter, cold or hot, heavy or light, east or west, are all without distinction."

He crouched down and looked at the blood on the carpet.

"In this world, people will live their lives as they normally would, but they will feel more of what is completely contrary to the material low-dimensional realm."

"Like... an Abyssal assault?"

"Yes. All that their consciousness perceives is different from the reality they perceive in the low-dimensional realm. So..."

Then, he looked at Dai Wei.

"You know, one of the main symptoms of an Abyssal assault is hallucinations, right?"

"Yes."

"What do people usually use to determine the difference between hallucinations and reality? Right, they use the effect on matter to judge. What can affect matter is real, what cannot is a hallucination. But that’s not the case at all. The hallucinations seen during an Abyssal assault are ’real’ to some extent. Because for the high-dimensional realm, there is no such thing as the so-called effect on matter, nor the subjective consciousness’s observation of its effect on matter. Therefore, an Abyssal curse can easily tamper with a person’s memory and perception. Because the essence of memory is a person’s perception of time. However, both time and space are just illusions of the low-dimensional realm."

...

"So, don’t count the shadows, this rule must be followed for now. This hotel, the Oroñe Hotel, is a place already being gradually influenced by the high-dimensional realm. Here, we need to be more lucid. Otherwise, in the next moment, we might suffer mental contamination, an Abyssal assault."

"So..."

"Do not be curious about how many shadows you have, Dr. Ying."

"So this is why we shouldn’t count the shadows?" Ying Ziye realized, "When people start to feel the twisted existence of the high-dimensional realm, they become more susceptible to an Abyssal assault curse."

"The impact of this curse will continue to expand, Dr. Ying. There is only one true high-dimensional realm, and that is the forbidden 666 Hospital!"
