Bai Chen stood in place, still a little stunned.

"Come back to your senses, come back to your senses." Zhuo Yu's voice drew her attention back - she blinked her eyes and looked at the girl in front of her, "Don't be attacked in the brain, stupid, right?" ”

Bai Chen: "......"

Bai Chen: "No." ”

After saying that, she looked to the side with hindsight - Zhuo Yu "tore" the mirror with a whip, and the junction was covered with mirror fragments, and the dangerous mirror lake outside was like a machine that had stopped running, full of dark smell, and no longer had any danger.

"It's finally done, and you can run away...... this game is terrifying. Zhuo Yu's broken thoughts came from behind him.

At first glance, Zhuo Yu's face was gloomy, like a bad girl who didn't like to talk much, but in fact...... It's a chatterbox, and about four and a half of the five sentences are nonsense.

Bai Chen didn't pay much attention to it as usual, just walked over to a mirror fragment lying on the ground and slowly squatted down.

She looked at the mirror fragment lying quietly, then raised her hand to look at her usual hand, was silent for a moment, and reached out to the fragment—

A chill came when the fingertips touched the shards, but there was no other sensation than that.

Unlike other ash worlds she's been exposed to, something can be felt through contact - mostly the memories of the constructor.

In Fang Silin's ash world, she "discovered" her identity in this way.

But now, she doesn't feel anything.

...... passed down from your fingertips Nothing, a cold feeling of emptiness,

For a moment she didn't know what to do.

"Bai Chen! What else are you doing? Took the core and ran away? Zhuo Yu shouted again over there.

Bai Chen let out an "oh", stood up, and looked back at Zhuo Yu - looking at the other party's much more cheerful appearance than at the beginning, she was slightly stunned, and then said, "You can take the core." ”

"I don't want it." Zhuo Yu simply refused, "I don't know how to play this game, I can ask you for help when I am swept in occasionally, and other things have nothing to do with me......"

"Sequence ......," Bai Chen couldn't help but say when he heard this.

"If you say that it would be safer to rank high......" Zhuo Yu scratched his hair and carefully organized his language before continuing, "But it also means going deeper into this game...... To be honest, I'm not ready right now...... I was still thinking about those things......"

Self-preservation is often the beginning of further endangerment.

Bai Chen stopped talking.

"I said you too, don't play too much...... Eh, I can't say anything about other people, my own affairs are a mess. Zhuo Yu looked at her and sighed, "I went back to check it before, and found that no one talked about this game at all on the normal network, it seems to exist only among players...... Some things, once out of reality, really ...... It's scary. ”

……

Zhuo Yu finally asked Bai Chen to take the core away, and when she came back to her senses, she had already returned to the classroom.

In my ears was the teacher's chatter, and the time she left seemed to have no existence at all, and no one noticed-

Bai Chen was silent, his hand holding the pen again, but this time he didn't turn it.

——

——

After school, Bai Chen packed his things as usual and walked to the station.

The weather was bad - heavy clouds were like boulders, weighing down the sky, and the rain fell in thin layers and nailed into the buildings and concrete floors.

Under the dark gray sky, pedestrians with umbrellas of various colors waited near the platform, with different looks, and most of them lit up with a few PCI screens that outsiders could not see clearly.

After AI personalization, many things can be done with only PCI, and countless ordinary people upload countless data to places they don't know.

Then, they didn't know that in that world, something different gradually arose - an attempt to subvert today's reality.

Everything is inevitable.

The world will be set on fire, and no one knows what will be reborn after the ashes.

Phoenix or turkey...... Who knows.

Bai Chen retracted his gaze, he could only be counted as one of them in the crowd, nothing special.

She's been thinking.

It started a long time ago.

Probably from Fang Silin's world of ashes, or even earlier...... Meng Xiaosu time.

She has her own "convinced" insistence, and she has a reason that she "can't refute", but what she doesn't understand is the people, the people in the game, they are immersed in it...... Speaking words she didn't understand.

She felt that her current self might be dazed and mechanical, and she couldn't even tell whether the initial ideas could convince herself.

……

Bai Chen waited quietly, and at this moment, a bus that did not belong to this station roared and splashed a layer of water on the side of the road as it drove by.

She quietly avoided it, looked up at the car, and in the yellowing light, she saw a flat-headed boy sitting in the bus.

Gravel.

Fang Li sat in the bus and didn't notice her—at that moment, Bai Chen stared at him closely, feeling a dark red light light light light light up from him.

Bai Chen raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and for some reason, he walked up and ran after the bus-

The girl wore the usual school uniform, ignoring the large and small puddles on the road due to the rain - water splashed on her shoes just after running a few hundred meters.

She ran and simply put away the umbrella, and the rain was not big, but it was there, and she felt like a star-chasing beautiful girl or a brainless girl who liked boys - but she didn't realize it, and felt that she had to do it.

— and then crashed headlong into the world of ashes.

The rainy day near dusk was already a little gray, and Bai Chen didn't react when he first stepped in, until he found that the sound in his ears disappeared, and the world became completely black and white.

She gradually stopped, standing still in the street, somehow remembering the ash world some time ago.

The road changes imperceptibly, and she doesn't know where it is, because the world of ashes has reorganized the streets—all she knows is that she is in front of a bus stop, and across the street is a convenience store and landscape trees.

Just as she was about to find a PCI port to pull up the map, a bus drove up to her.

She could feel the "25" coming at her, and it eventually stopped beside her.

Bai Chen looked at the bus without a driver, pursed her lips, and walked up—she remembered that Fang Li was also in this car just now.

When I got into the car, I wondered if I should call out the PCI to pay, the door was closed, and I slowly started.

It's still raining.

The rain was icier than reality, and when she sat down on the bus, she realized that her hair was already wet, and a few strands were sticking to her face, and after thinking about it, she pulled out a pack of tissues from her school bag and tried to wipe her face.

The moment her hand touched the tissue, a translucent screen lit up automatically.

[Props introduction: a pack of ordinary tissues;

Prop function: only with realistic function; 】

There was no such thing before.

Bai Chen looked at this thing and guessed that it might be related to the sequence of his ascension.

It's a feature that doesn't require looking through the product to see exactly what it is...... ?

Bai Chen slowly wiped his face with a tissue, and after doing all this, he buckled the window frame of the car window, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

Strange to say, she doesn't really know much about herself, such as not knowing what she likes and hates, and she can't say a word when others talk about the future.

This kind of silence is not the kind of silence that the big guy knows in his chest, but the silence that he doesn't know.

Faintly, she felt like there were other people in her body who decided what she was going to do.

It's a strange feeling.

But she could only let everything develop.

The car without a driver drove in the rain, and the closed windows were full of traces of rain, and she couldn't see the outside very clearly.

It could be that the car was not obliged to stop at the site, or that the map was modified, and after five minutes, it stopped.

Bai Chen got out of the car.

Now...... is a hospital.
