“…… Actually, I was very scared. ”

Silence once again occupied the left and right of this room with the disappearance of the image, and for a while, only the wordless figures of the two women in the room were reflected in the reflected light and shadow, and Ning Lan, whose tears were gradually drying up on her face, maintained that sluggish movement, and only after a while turned her gaze to the direction of Lou Yuyan, who was holding the communication ball: "Since I realized that I might have been under the control of the Duan family, I have lost all confidence. ”

"Chu Lingbing, that woman is the same." Pursing his mouth, Lou Yuyan, who was frowning, replied in a low voice: "Duan Qingnian, that guy should have mastered some of the core powers of the virtual reality system, so he has developed some kind of way to tamper with reality by simulating the unreal. ”

"Snow Spirit Phantom Ice is just an experiment, she hasn't lived in the Duan family for so long like me." Buried her head between her knees again, Ning Lan's dull voice then sounded in the quiet room: "I don't have any memory before I was five years old, and now that I think about it, this is probably the same thing that the people of the Duan family have done when they trained us a long time ago. ”

"If there are more 'traces' of the Duan family on my body, I don't have the confidence to continue to maintain myself in the coming time." The emotionless voice grew darker and darker, and she replied in a tone that had become cold again: "The thought that I could be controlled by them at any point in the future......"

"You'd better leave me alone."

Her arms clenched around her knees tightened, and her whisper rang out again after a while, "Just leave me here, as long as I don't touch anyone, I can't do any harm—"

"It's a reversal of the cart."

Sighing slightly, Lou Yuyan, who interrupted the other party's voice, also threw his body on the side of the wall: "If you lock yourself here all the time because of the other party's shady tricks, wouldn't it make their plan succeed?" Even if you don't have contact with outsiders in the future, the Duan family will be so happy that they can't keep their mouths shut because they have one less strong enemy. ”

"What's more, your problem may be solved." She played with the communication ball in her hand, and the expression on her face changed to a thoughtful look: "Anyway, those people are also treating Duan Qing now, and you shouldn't be ...... if you add one."

"Lord—no, sir, what's wrong with him?" As if mentioning a certain key point, Ning Lan's voice became louder again as she raised her head: "Is he okay now?" ”

"I don't know much about it, and I've only heard them mention a few words before." Glancing up at the other party, Lou Yuyan's expression also became serious: "It is said that he used the sword too much in the previous battle in Sky City, which produced the same sequelae as three years ago, and Rogge They are now taking him into a secret place for treatment, hoping to make him the first experimental subject to be successfully recovered after three years." ”

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know where that shelter is." She looked back at the other party's face staring at her, and then replied in a low voice, "The previous exchange of information was only for them to communicate with me online using some means. ”

"In other words, Mr. has never been offline?" Ning Lan's voice revealed a bit of surprise: "Won't his spirit be tired?" ”

"Similar states, there are some in other places."

Pointing to the door behind him, the expression on Lou Yuyan's face also became a little lighter: "As a temporary resting place for those seriously ill patients, the virtual world has now been built into the most suitable treatment hotbed, regardless of whether the technology is mature or not, there must be a way to let the patients who become players stay in the game for a long time." ”

"The problem is the in-game experience." Her voice paused, and at the same time tapped her finger at her head: "According to Rogge's observations over this period of time, his brain waves have undergone several major changes during this time, excluding his own emotional changes...... The only possibility is probably what happened to him in the game world. ”

"Maybe what's going on in the free world is affecting all of us." Speaking of this, she pointed at Ning Lan: "You are a living example, if it goes on for a long time, whether he will encounter the same twists and turns, none of us can guarantee." ”

"So, when will he be able to get out of the virtual world?" Ning Lan said in a hurried voice, "When will he be able to wake up?" ”

"I want to know the answer too."

Lowering his head again, Lou Yuyan sighed involuntarily: "We can't have too much intersection with Rogge, this will increase the possibility of him being discovered by the Duan family, and now that they have colluded with the alliance and are supported by a large number of virtual core technologies, the result of any exposure of the target is probably devastating." ”

"What I can do is to pull out a frontal confrontation front in the outside world, strive to attract the attention of the enemy in our own way, and at the same time break the status quo of the alliance and the Duan family in the virtual industry." She turned her head, and her expression became extremely firm: "Other than that, we can only choose to believe in Rogge's team and Tianfeng's own will and strength. ”

"We can only support him as much as we can in that world."

She looked at Ning Lan's face with expectant eyes: "Believe me, and believe in yourself, the contribution you can make in that world is definitely much greater than the risk you are taking now." ”

“……”

"We'll figure it out." Putting away his communication ball, Lou Yuyan then turned around and opened the door behind him: "Before that, I hope you can continue to persevere in your own way, with your real strength and level, you should still be able to do this level of risk avoidance, right?" ”

"I've brought everything I should have brought, and I've said everything I should have said." She shook her long hair and walked out without looking back: "Go ahead." ”

"Don't forget, your husband is still waiting for you in that world."

A heavy closing sound then appeared at the connection between the door and the outside world, and with a muffled sound, Ning Lan returned to a silent atmosphere, and she raised her head in a daze before the tears dried, and looked at the surface of the game cabin that was still alarming not far from her. A large number of footsteps were heard in the corridor that was separated by the door to the other side, and countless family members armed to the teeth surrounded Lou Yuyan who had just walked out of the room, and they looked nervous to check the safety of their eldest lady, but the first thing they received was a serious inquiry from the other party: "What about the things that you asked you to get before?" ”

"Yes, I've brought it." Hearing this, one of the generals hurriedly handed over a tightly wrapped paper bag: "As you instructed, try not to attract the attention of others." ”

“……”

Ignoring the movements of these people, Lou Yuyan quickly removed the contents of the paper bag, and then while reading the contents recorded on it, he frowned and muttered to himself: "The synchronization rate is 57%...... The condition is assessed as fair, and there is mental stability ......"

"What's this last item?"

As if suddenly noticing something, her self-muttering voice suddenly amplified slightly: "Assimilation rate? What is it? ”

“…… As you instructed, we did not look at the contents of these bags. The subordinates of the Lou family looked at Lou Yuyan with some innocence: "So we don't know what information is recorded on it." ”

"No, nothing."

Quickly reining in the nervous expression he was experiencing, Lou Yuyan swept aside the gazes of the surrounding subordinates gathered on him: "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

"Go ahead and get busy with your business." She hugged the bag tightly to her chest, and then pointed to the closed door behind her, "Questions about Ning Lan—"

"Don't be so vigilant, just let her handle it herself."

*******************************

"How are you feeling right now?"

In the white landing interface not long after, Duan Qing, who was called back again, then also faced an interrogation from a voice above the sky: "Do you feel any other abnormalities?" ”

"Nope." Holding his arms a little impatiently, Duan Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the empty white airspace: "I feel good during this time, I don't have any mental problems, don't call me offline so often, I'm very busy." ”

"It seems that if you don't lift the woman around you out, you won't easily get out of that world." A god-like voice echoed in the sky: "We called you out this time for this question. ”

"Your assimilation rate seems to have gone up."

The echoing voice was transmitted in the boundless sky, and the sound that seemed to disappear became extremely clear in Duan Qing's ears, he scratched his cheek a little stunned, and then replied with a little strangeness: "Assimilation rate? When did you come up with a new term? ”

"It's not a new term, it's just that we don't usually bring it up." The voice of the god replied from above, "But as the number of players like you increases, we start to have more cases and references, and some of these patients have similar symptoms, they are too 'immersed' in the game world. ”

"To put it simply, it's hard for their spirit to detach itself from the virtual world." The voice was slightly amplified, and it seemed to turn to the direction where Duan Qing was: "Your situation is the opposite of them, you can only soak in it now and not come out, so you say-"

"I know what you're worried about."

Looking up to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing, who was holding his arms, also had a serious expression of thought on his face: "I did have a ...... in the previous time No, two strange experiences, I don't know if you monitored these two weird experiences that the system forced on me, but the end result was that I fused some of the abilities of an NPC, as well as memories. ”

"What?" The voice of the god above visibly became shocked: "You, you actually fused with the system data?" You, you're all right? ”

"Why, is this kind of thing hard to do?" Duan Qing raised his head helplessly: "I have seen a lot of similar things in my past game experience, such as the Yuanshen Feidu in the Sword Immortal World, or the Gong ...... in the Jianghu World."

"That's just a data transfer within the limits of the system! It's already in the program! The voice still warned loudly: "The amount of information contained in each NPC in the world designed by the fourth generation of virtual reality technology is huge! If the previous transmissions were like a stream, now every piece of data is a river! A normal person's brain simply can't handle it! ”

"But I don't have any problems."

Duan Qing, who spread his hands and seemed to be deaf to this warning, then replied with a relaxed face: "My operations in that process have also been certified by the system, although the strength I have now even has to adapt to myself for a while, but I think there should be no abnormality." ”

"If there's really something like 'another person' in my head, I'm sure I'll be able to get him."

He waved his hand upwards, and his body began to blur in the entire white light: "If something like Redkar's Mutation Night happens, you can just continue to think of a way." ”

"Hey! Feed! You still want to make trouble for us? You thought the last time—"

The angry voice then quickly faded away in Duan Qing's ears, and then transformed into a noise that gradually became clear in the free world, Duan Qing, who woke up from the tent, then also looked at the noisy crowd coming and going with sleepy eyes, and finally looked at Gedmayne on the side: "Coming back? ”

"Ah, it's back." Noticing the player's line, Gedmayne waved his hand with hanging eyes: "The head of the regiment asked me to wait for you here." ”

"You don't look very happy."

Covering his mouth and yawning loudly, Duan Qing, who walked out of the tent, then sat down beside Gedmayne: "Are you still worried about what happened before?" ”

"Lao Tzu was stabbed by the other party for a second, but there is no chance of revenge when you turn back, and you will not be happy if you are replaced." Expressionless, Gedmane moved his gaze back to the centaurs in front of him: "I don't know how you found me, otherwise I would have rushed back into that underground tunnel by this time." ”

"And then be washed out by the flood?"

Smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, Duan Qing then comforted and said, "Okay, anyway, the matter is over, instead of continuing to dwell on these past events, it is better to look to the future." ”

"I'll try to improve myself." Holding the shield and silent for a while, Gedmane replied in a low voice, "Next time, next time I will definitely be able to kill that guy." ”

"If you want to defeat an opponent like Liangchen Meiyu, I'm afraid it's not something that you can do in a while." Sighing and making such an assessment, Duan Qing then pointed towards the busy scene in front of him: "What are they doing here?" ”

"What else can you do, of course it's to pull out the camp." Gesturing to the Imperial soldiers who were snorting and drinking, Gedmayne replied with a turn.

"The Duchy has made a decision to allow us to enter Tania."
