Chapter 587: The Choice of the Stone Gate

"Unlocked ...... successfully"

The cold voice of the system, this time to He Chen's ears, was as beautiful as the moaning of a beautiful woman.

With that long-lost voice, He Chen opened his eyes again.

He has repeated this set of actions countless times, from the doubts, panic, and uneasiness at the beginning, to the final Mu Ran, he even almost accepted such a setting - if he accepted this, I don't know if it will go on like this forever?

But this time, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had finally returned home after wandering outside for a long time.

This is the real homecoming!

The qiē in the bedroom is his most familiar appearance, familiar taste, and the familiar person in his arms.

Yi Jingjiao curled up in his arms like a cat, pillowed his arm, and her soft hair spread out, as if draping He Chen's arm with a layer of black tulle.

The faint glow of dawn shines through the curtains, bringing a hazy and warm color to the room.

Yi Jingjiao didn't know what kind of dream she had achieved, the corners of her mouth were shallowly hooked upward, He Chen couldn't bear to disturb Yi Jingjiao's sweet dream, and didn't move.

The other hand reached out from the quilt, took the phone from the bedside table, and looked at the time, it was not yet six o'clock, and the date said July 1.

It seems that He Chen's action of holding the mobile phone moved the quilt, Yi Jingjiao arched into He Chen's arms, looking for a comfortable position, and at the same time pulled the quilt over his head, and the whole person was wrapped in the quilt, leaving only the black and bright hair spread outside.

The whole action was done in my sleep, and then I fell back into a deep sleep as if nothing had happened.

Although it's not even six o'clock. Most people in China are still dreaming. But He Chen didn't feel sleepy at all—he had "woken up" countless times. How can you still feel sleepy?

He Chen called out the system, and he still remembered the system's "unlocked successfully".

The system, which had not responded to him for a long time, finally came out this time, revealing its delicate face - the entire interface is still the same, and the whole thing has not changed in the slightest.

He Chen remembered that after Children's Day, the system began to be upgraded, and now this has been upgraded?

Theoretically, the upgrade should be complete. But He Chen still can't be sure, is this his own world, and the system upgrade has been completed? Or is this another world, and the system has not been upgraded at all?

He Chen focused his attention on the list of comics that he had already redeemed, and since he had "unlocked it successfully", there would definitely be something new...... But the most important thing is that He Chen doesn't remember that he has accepted any tasks!

The order of the works is basically arranged in the order of huàn, and He Chen carefully and slowly looked at it from the beginning to the back, confirming that all the works that appear now are "hand-made" by him. There are no cartoons of "dissonance points".

Then I set my sights on the last one, which is the latest one that has been successfully unlocked. This is the only content that does not match He Chen's memory.

The name is "Steins; Gate - "The Gate of the Stone of Destiny", a work that He Chen is very familiar with, the original work is a game, and it was later adapted into an animation, as well as derivative comics.

The story goes: A year after the collapse of Shibuya, the news that an artificial satellite had fallen on the roof of the Akihabara Radio Kaikan was in a stir. The leader of the "Future Invention Research Institute", a three-person invention team based in Akihabara, Rentaro Okabe, a college student who can't change his second year of middle school, and his friends repeat the development of strange inventions all day long. On July 28, 2010, Okabe went to the lecture hall with his friend Hashida in order to get credits, where they met Makise Korisu, a genius girl who had successfully published a paper in an American scientific journal at the age of 18.

However, the strange thing is that Okabe had just witnessed Makise fainting in a pool of blood on the 8th floor of the RADIO Kaikan just a few hours ago. What's even more puzzling is that this qiē was clearly recorded in the text message sent to Hashida a week ago.

Eventually, Okabe found out that one of the mobile phone devices they had invented had the function of sending text messages to the past, that is, it had a function similar to that of a time machine. At this time, Okabe never even thought that this accidental invention would become the key to the future of the world, and the great invention of the century was born......

“……”

See Steins; Gate", He Chen vaguely understood something in his heart.

"System, when did you complete the upgrade. ”

He Chen first confirmed with the system, and it didn't matter if there was no persimmon lawsuit, low car, jealousy, and bad luck.

The "0:00:15 on July 1st......" system gives a very accurate time, even accurate to the millisecond.

This first solves He Chen's doubts, one is that the system has indeed been upgraded, and the other is that the system was upgraded in the early hours of this morning.

The only thing that makes He Chen awkward is why not the time that sounds good and looks like 0.00 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds? On the contrary, after fifteen minutes, there are seconds and milliseconds that can make Virgo crazy, could it be that this system upgrade is also like some domestic games, there is a delay?

Directly ask the system to upgrade the patch, this stupid system will not be given to He Chen, and he can only find out by himself.

"Is that what happened to me before all the ghost you did?" He Chen asked the system.

The system didn't respond, I don't know if it was because he was too "stupid" to understand, or because he was too lazy to respond to He Chen.

"Well, let's change the question, Steins; What does "Gate" mean?" He Chen asked again, and the system replied: "A new work." ”

"Nonsense, I know that, and I just happened to be asleep when it was refreshed on July 1st, so I don't know. What I'm asking is, even though I haven't received any unlocking quests, why Steins; Gate" will be unlocked!"

"At 2:14, with your consent, you accept Steins; Gate》。 The system replied to He Chen one by one.

"2:14?" He Chen asked emphatically in confusion.

"Yes. The system replied affirmatively, and He Chen said, "I should have been sleeping at that time!"

"With your consent......"

The system doesn't know if it doesn't understand what it means to sleep, or if it is deliberately playing with He Chen like this, in short, when He Chen is asleep, He Chen's "dream talk" is identified as "confirmation".

Let's not mention it for the time being, whether it is kind or not to let an unconscious person "sign and draw" this kind of thing. If a certain classic is not completed because He Chen is unconscious, wouldn't it be to trap He Chen?

“《Steins; What are the unlocking missions for Gate?

What happened to me before, with "Steins; Gate's story is the same, although he already guessed in his mind that it might be a new mission mode after the system upgrade, but he still confirmed it with the system.

“《Steins; Gate" Unlock Mission: Recovering the World Line. ”

“……”

With a simple and crude answer, He Chen really couldn't rely on the system's IQ.

"What you mean is that the infinite time travel that happened to me before was the completion of Steins; Gate's 'Find the World Line' unlock mission?And this mode is your new mission mode after this upgrade?" He Chen had to confirm these details like the system description.

"Yes. ”

Sure enough, after the explanation, the system's answer was much simpler and easier to understand.

It's a new mission mode!

He Chen confirmed to the system very seriously and strictly: "Then let me ask you, will I die in this mode? If I don't finish it, will I be trapped in it forever?"

"During the mission, there will be no danger to the life of the host itself. If it is not completed, it will not be trapped forever, and the maximum duration of a mission is 6 hours of real time, and once the time is over, the host will awaken. A task can be executed up to 10 times, and if it ends 10 times, the task fails and can never be unlocked. The refresh still uses the same mechanism as before, and if the task is not completed within the refresh time, it will also be refreshed. The system explained it to He Chen in detail this time.

There is no danger, and he will not be trapped to death, so that He Chen is completely relieved.

This upgrade has changed the mode of performing tasks, and has added a setting of 10 times in the original limit of 3 months.

After being silent for a while, He Chen digested the new content brought about by this system upgrade, and finally He Chen asked the most critical question: "The worlds I experienced before are real." Or is it a dream-like hallucination created by you?"

However, the system did not give any answer to this question.

No matter how He Chen changed the way he asked the question, the system did not respond.

"Are those dreams really dreams, or are all the worlds I have experienced 'real' worlds?" He Chen began to look at the world anew, as well as his own experiences.

Even the two worlds he has experienced, he can no longer distinguish between them.

Is it a dream on this side, he dreamed that he had crossed over, or was it a dream over there, he dreamed of the world over there, thinking that he was a time-traveler?

"However, it doesn't matter what is the qiē! The important thing is not which side is the 'real' and which side is the 'dream'......"

"What matters is where 'I' are!"

He Chen no longer has any confusion about the world!

He hugged Yi Jingjiao, who was still asleep, and rubbed his chin against her head, causing Yi Jingjiao to murmur.

Let beautiful dreams become real.

Let the truth of pain become a dream!

The realm of reality and dreams, the realm of pain and happiness...... It's all up to him to choose!(To be continued......)
