The cafeteria in the institute is in buffet mode, but Ye Ming can only eat some liquid food because his body's digestive system has just been running at this time.

However, this liquid food alone is very different from what he imagined, there are hundreds of flavors, not to mention the ingredients, and I don't know what the ingredients are made of.

It's a bit like porridge, more like mush, and he can refer to it with just a straw, and he can feel a feeling of fullness in his stomach after two cups of food.

Of course, it should have been night, but there was still a steady stream of people coming to the cafeteria to eat.

After asking Christine, I found out that the staff in this facility worked three shifts on weekdays in order to be able to produce a result as soon as possible.

In other words, although the people involved in the research will take a break, all the projects under the research institute will be running all the time.

While Ye Ming gave a thumbs up to these great people in his heart, he also felt that these people were not as impersonal as he imagined.

As he and Christine sat down at the same table, they could feel the gaze coming from them all the time.

Of course, they are all the ones without malicious intent, most of them are curious, and those who are more bold will directly step forward and talk to Ye Ming.

Many of them from Europe and the United States will also use idioms indiscriminately in front of Ye Ming in half-baked Chinese.

For example, "It's nice to meet you, it's a pleasure for both guests and hosts." ”

Or, "Let's talk." ”

What's more, some beautiful girls even said to Ye Ming, "Let's respect each other like guests......

Although Ye Ming could feel the kindness of these scientific researchers, he felt a little speechless about these indiscriminate words.

Not only Ye Ming, but even Christine, who accompanied her, felt blushing, and finally could only pull Ye Ming out of the cafeteria and escape.

Of course, in addition to kindness, Ye Ming also sensed the malice of this institute towards him.

It's one thing to be able to understand, it's another thing to actually experience.

Anyone here feels like they are being watched by eyes all the time, and they are not comfortable.

Although Christine interprets this surveillance as a necessary precaution.

After all, Ye Ming is not a clone without thoughts, but an adult with an independent personality who can think for himself.

So Leng Buding threw him into this environment, and what happened was unknown.

And the research institute happens to be a facility with a high level of secrecy, and Ye Ming does not have the permission to enter many places.

The only things that could be freely accessed were the cafeteria, the lodgings, and the laboratory where he was born.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

When a person who is accustomed to freedom is suddenly put into an unfamiliar environment with a very poor degree of freedom, then there will be spontaneous resistance in his heart.

It must be known that in "New World", Ye Ming has completed absolute economic freedom, as well as relative personal freedom.

At least there are no restrictions on where to go, like here, eating and sleeping and even when he suspects going to the toilet, there are I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching him.

The first to notice that Ye Ming was wrong was Christine, who was closest to him.

Perhaps it is a very thorough study of human emotions, so Ye Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and Christine noticed that something was wrong.

"Ye Ming, is there any trouble? Or is there something on your mind? Can you tell me if it's convenient? ”

Ye Ming was silent for a long time when he heard this, and only after a long time did he try to ask.

"I'd like to go outside, and of course, if it's hard for you, then you can ignore it.

But I still really want to go out and see, you know, I don't know if the world I know is this world. ”

Christine bit her lip when she heard this, and then said with a smile.

"I don't think it's too much to ask, but it's not within my purview, and I need to ask Professor Iris for advice, I hope you can understand."

Ye Ming didn't have much hope, but after hearing the other party's words, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

It doesn't seem to be as difficult as he thought, which doesn't seem to be the same as in the movie......

But before Christine could ask for instructions, Iris had already come uninvited, of course, to be precise, he had just finished a day's work, and this was considered home.

However, out of concern for the project, one of the lenses of the glasses worn by Iris has always shown the picture of Ye Ming's side, so he is very clear about the situation here.

After entering the door, Iris hung his clothes casually in the doorway, and then said with a smile.

"Remember me? Ye Ming, Xiaoyou, we met in "New World". ”

Ye Ming turned his head when he heard this, looked up and down, and found that the person who came was Dr. Iris who was discussing with him in "New World".

I didn't expect real people to look older than three-dimensional images.......

Of course, he would definitely not say that, I saw Ye Ming stand up and smile at Iris and said.

"I didn't expect us to meet Professor Iris in this situation."

Iris smiled and waved her hand and sat casually on the couch, while Christine habitually added a cup of tea and put it in front of Iris.

Just listen to Iris speak slowly.

"Don't be so polite, I can understand your mood right now.

Strictly speaking, I don't think of you as a test subject, but as my own child.

Although you only met me today, it is not the first day I have known you. ”

Ye Ming smiled awkwardly, although he could understand the meaning of the other party's words, he still felt a little unhappy when he was directly said by the other party.

Are foreigners' personalities so straight?

However, the other party's words reminded him of another thing.

"Professor Iris, I've had a question since I've been here."

Halfway through his words, there was a trace of embarrassment and helplessness in Ye Ming's gaze at Iris.

Iris smiled and spread his hands, and said very kindly.

"It's okay, just ask, in your Huaxia words, I will definitely know everything."

Ye Ming nodded, and then said slowly.

"I wondered, was that real world in my consciousness this world before I entered New World? Or is it real? ”

Iris was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Ye Ming to ask like this, and after pondering for a moment, Iris said with a smile.

"You may think that what I say next is a lie, but I can make sure that I am telling the truth.

To be precise, it wasn't until we started the closed beta in New World that we discovered how different you were from other NPCs.

That is to say, your appearance was a complete accident, both for my colleagues and for New World.

Of course, after we studied the code about you in the console, we received some inspiration, and then Ye Huan was born, that is, your sister in "New World", I want to say sorry for this, we did experiments on your family without your consent.

But one thing I know for sure is that the real world in your consciousness theoretically exists.

Or you can think of that world as this world, but the difference is that there is no trace of you in the world we live in.

That is, the world is completely consistent with the world in your consciousness except you. ”

After hearing so much, Ye Ming felt more and more confused.

He could understand what the other party said, but he felt a little lost about many of the things involved.

Christine saw Ye Ming's embarrassment and said on the side.

"You can think of the world we live in as a parallel world to the world you remember.

The only difference between the two worlds is that there is you or not. ”
