"Do androids dream of electronic sheep?"

"Who?"

In a trance, I heard Natsu's weak voice.

It's not that Xia Fu's voice is special, but I already remember his voice and tone, so I can distinguish it immediately.

"Do androids dream of electronic sheep?"

Xia couldn't help but ask me again.

I turned my head and saw him smiling.

"This ...... I don't know, what exactly are you trying to say? ”

"Nothing." Xia couldn't help but smile, "It's just that I want to tell you something." ”

"Things? What's up? I asked, suspicious.

"Do you remember the time I broke through the space to strip Jinyu's soul?" Xia couldn't say slowly, as if he was recalling something.

"Yes." I nodded.

Of course I remember, because I still haunt the death of this enemy.

But what is he trying to say when he mentions this?

"Actually, before I made this move, I don't know how many times I retraced the space within that enchantment in order to achieve the most perfect peeling time and peeling requirements." Xia said with a smile, "It's really mental pollution when I think about it now." ”

"Hmmm......"

Listening to him tell me about it, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable myself.

But I still don't understand what he's trying to say.

"At that time, in order to keep myself better at each time I backtracked than the last time, I adopted a strategy called time anchor." "And the effect of this strategy is that I can return to the point I set before once I go back incorrectly. ”

"It can be said that it is because of this that I was able to complete the previous work." Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, but what do you mean by that now?" I scratched my head and asked.

"What if I said now that I could rewind the present point in time using the time anchor I had previously bound?" Natsu's feeble gaze wandered, as if trying to find the answer from my face.

"Wait...... You didn't remove that time anchor? Hearing this, I was shocked, "Can you really do this?" ”

"Of course, why not? I can do it if you want, it doesn't cost anything, it's just a matter of whether you want to. ”

Xia's weak tone was full of persuasion, so that I didn't even know what to choose.

But.

On second thought, why would I go back to that time?

Am I not satisfied with the results so far? Or do I feel like I'm not doing well enough?

No, I don't think so.

Why?

Do I miss Jinyu so much?

Am I really full of such a big obsession with Jinyu's death?

Maybe.

But this obsession is not enough to make me abandon the present time and turn to the past to find a sense of existence...... And even if he did, the living human players wouldn't be backsliding.

"I refuse." So I refused.

"I don't know why you came to me, but I beg your forgiveness for not being able to accept your proposal." My words are earnest and serious.

"Is that so?" Xia nodded weakly, "Then I understand, in that case, I'll rewind the time point to that time as you wish." ”

What the?

"Wait, don't you understand people?" I became anxious, "I was clearly saying that I don't need your regression!" ”

"Ah, yes." Xia smiled weakly, "But, I didn't say anything...... If you don't want to, I won't do it. ”

"Don't you understand, there is no choice in this matter from beginning to end." Xia put her index finger on her lips and motioned for me to silence.

"Goodbye, Origin Backtrack, then!"

"Wait a minute!!!!

……

Boundless darkness pervades every inch of my vision.

If it weren't for the banging sound that rings in my ears from time to time, I would have thought I was dead.

"Ahh I took a deep breath, "Elise, tell me the time." ”

"Half past eleven in the evening." Elise's voice came from behind me.

Half past eleven.

Speaking of which, haven't I slept in a long time?

Hey, anyway, the dream just now is really too real.

I didn't expect it to be a dream or something......

"Do androids dream of electronic sheep...... I chewed on the words that appeared in my dream just now, and I always felt that my feelings were a little complicated.

"This is the American sci-fi genius Philip K. Dick, and it is also the original book of the classic old film "Blade Runner", why do you suddenly talk about this?" Xie Yan's voice came from above my head, and it seemed that he was meditating again.

"No...... I don't know what this is, it's just a dream. I said.

"Oh? Interesting. Xie Yan nodded, "Are you dreaming?" ”

His body was falling from above my vision, and his head was tilted to the side, as if he was interested in my affairs.

"Yes, I dreamed." I looked into Xie Yan's eyes and nodded, "And it feels quite real." ”

"Do androids dream of Do androids dream of electric sheep?" Xie Yan thought about it for a while, and made a summary of my behavior just now, "Although it is a little uncomfortable to read and sounds very uncomfortable, there is no better summary than this." ”

It's really uncomfortable.

"So, what is the specific dream, can you share it?" Xie Yan asked with interest.

Belch......

Even if he asked me that, I wouldn't know.

"Then I'll ask you." Xie Yan simply asked directly, "Is it a dream related to "Blade Runner"?" ”

"How could it be?" I gave him a blank look, "I don't even know what Blade Runner is, okay?" ”

"Then why do you dream of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", this is unreasonable." Xie Yan frowned.

"How do I know?" I looked up at the sky, "It's Xia who can't afford to say it, and it's not what I said." ”

Xie Yan's eyes lit up, "Xia is weak? What does it have to do with him? ”

"Ahh I explained, "In the dream, he was the one who said it to me. ”

"Oh?" Xie Yan seemed to be interested, "How could you dream of him?" ”

Since he asked, then I simply told him all the contents of the dream just now.

It's just that after he listened, he fell into thought, and his expression seemed to become complicated.

"It's weird." After thinking about it for a while, Xie Yan raised his head and said, "Why is this happening? ”

"What, what's wrong?" I was a little nervous.

"No, maybe I'm overthinking......" Xie Yan shook his head, "You wait for me a while, I still need to think about it for a while." ”
