Chapter 15: Internal Contradictions (I)
"Didn't you say you were going out for a walk, why did you come back so soon?"
Dr. Ziegler was sitting at the desk writing something when he saw Zhou Yuan walk in and asked in surprise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Come back and talk to a little girl about what all this is all about," Zhou Yuan lifted the tent and let Hatsune Miku, who was wearing a thick layer of cotton clothes, into the tent, "Really...... I don't want to be a wicked person......"
"Be a wicked man...... Could it be that this girl is the girl who came here through the projection phenomenon that Anna's predecessor said?"
Dr. Ziegler asked.
"Well, that's right," Zhou Yuan looked at the cotton clothes he began to take off because of the comfortable temperature inside the tent, which was different from the outside world, and didn't notice Hatsune Miku here, and whispered to Dr. Ziegler, "Can you give me a little time?" I want to talk to her alone for a while. ”
"Okay...... Then I'll leave first and come back in ten minutes. ”
Dr. Ziegler folded the paper on the table, put it in his pocket, stood up and left the tent.
"Anyway, Dr. Ziegler was actually writing with pen and paper just now......"
Not to mention that now, even before the world changed, smartphones have become the mainstream of recording things, not to mention that this technology is far stronger than in the past, but Dr. Ziegler still has the habit of recording things with paper and pen.
"Forget it...... It's none of my business how the doctor's sister records it. ”
Zhou Yuan sat on his hospital bed, putting aside the pulse rifle that was used as a crutch. At this time, Hatsune Miku, who had already recovered the clothes that Zhou Yuan had seen at the beginning, also put his hands on his knees and sat down on the stool opposite Zhou Yuan obediently.
"Where do you start...... Let's put it this way, in the past as far as I know, you were a virtual singer idol created by people...... In other words, you are only constructed from a program, an image, and the imagination of people in the world. ”
Zhou Yuan tried to find a way to make his vocabulary more concise.
“…… What do you mean? I don't know much about Yah......."
Hatsune Miku looked at Zhou Yuan, who was sitting opposite him with a serious face, with a blank expression.
“…… Let's explain it this way, do you know about parallel worlds?"
Zhou Yuan had to start from the basics to explain the cause of all this to Her Royal Highness the princess.
"Parallel worlds? Have you heard of it...... Are they two similar universes?"
"Okay, that's how you understand it first...... In your universe, you are a living singer, but in this universe, the name Hatsune Miku represents a virtual existence. ”
Hatsune Miku sat there and thought for five seconds before he thought of the key place in Zhou Yuan's words, and his face suddenly turned pale.
That is to say...... Am I no longer on Earth...... this is not the universe I used to be?"
Hatsune Miku set the last glimmer of hope on Zhou Yuan, as if waiting for Zhou Yuan to deny her claim.
Zhou Yuan sighed and continued reluctantly. To be honest, now Hatsune Miku's expression has made Zhou Yuan can't bear to continue talking, but Hatsune Miku must have the right to know the truth.
"It's true that this is still Earth, but it's not the universe you're in. ”
"That'...... What should I do? Can I go back? I miss home, I still want to be on stage, I still want to ......"
Hatsune Miku's voice was already trembling slightly, and her eyes were beginning to glisten with tears.
Zhou Yuan's whole person also became a little hesitant. Looking at Hatsune Miku's current situation, I really don't know if I should say the last sentence or not......
"No...... Even if you go back, you're not Hatsune Miku anymore. You're just a projection of that Hatsune Miku on this world, and the real Hatsune Miku is still singing on stage, you're just the same person as the person you were before that time......"
To be honest, this sentence is the most shocking...... Whoever finds that the memories of more than ten years are just a substitute for another person, and that person takes over from you and continues the path you should have taken, may all collapse.
For a long time, there was silence in the tent, except for the barely audible sobbing sound of the little girl covering her face.
"That's why I don't want to be a wicked person...... In short, you are in this world now, and the world is not very peaceful as you see. The only thing I can guarantee is to do everything I can to keep you safe. ”
Zhou Yuan sighed helplessly. In fact, he still hasn't said a word, but Zhou Yuan can't say the last sentence anyway.
Overwatch's goal, as well as his own and Okabe's goals, are essentially the same, which is to restore the world to what it was before it was changed. And restoring the world to what it was before it was changed means ...... Not only intelligent machines, but all projections from various worlds are also "things that should not exist", and will be completely eliminated along with the technology, intelligent machinery and unstable world situation in this world.
And Hatsune Miku is also one of these projections. Really want to achieve the goal of Overwatch...... It means that she is gone.
For the first time, Zhou Yuan felt that he seemed to have decided too early. How hard it is to truly embark on Overwatch's path of changing the world back......
The girl was still squatting in the corner and sobbing quietly, and Zhou Yuan didn't know what to say, so he could only use his pulse rifle to hold his body and stand quietly next to Hatsune Miku.
"Am I really not going back......
After a long silence, Hatsune Miku finally spoke. Because of the long crying, Hatsune Miku's voice has become a little hoarse, and it sounds very distressing.
“…… Yes. ”
"Everything is different...... Mom and dad can't see it anymore......"
“…… Be. ”
"Here...... Can I still sing?"
Zhou Yuan desperately straightened his body with his right hand, then put his left hand behind his back, and barely touched his chest with his right hand.
The condition of the body is so serious that it is difficult to even bend the right hand, and it is impossible to do the standard military salute of beating the chest.
"That's ...... I assure you with my life, Your Highness the Princess. As long as I'm not dead, you'll be back on stage again!"
