As the minutes passed, the days in the base had returned to the same as when I first arrived, more and more people were waking up from their hibernation, and every piece of machinery in the base had left traces of human activity again. Gu Chengzi and Ali have not heard from each other, but Ahri has gradually become familiar with life here, although her psychology is not suitable for her body at first, but after a long time, she has gradually become accustomed to her male body. Ahri said that this was the first time she had used Gu Chengzi's body alone without Ali, and it was also the first time she had stayed outside for so long after leaving her own body, and now she didn't want to go back if Ali or Gu Chengzi appeared.

However, although Ahri is now happy to use Gu Chengzi's body, there are two people who are not very happy, one is Fu Yuan, and the other is Mo Qingyan. The former is watching his brother's body being used by a woman, and he is already very unhappy, and the girlish appearance of the mother really destroys the image of Gu Chengzi's good brother in Furao's heart, so where there is Ahri, Furao will avoid it. The latter has been worried that Gu Chengzi and Ali will disappear forever, and every once in a while she goes to Ahri to ask about Gu Chengzi's situation, where does Ahri know about his situation, so she is tired of being asked, as soon as she hears Mo Qingyan's footsteps, she will immediately find a place to hide, and she will not come out until Mo Qingyan is far away. Me and Lao Xu are different, we have gradually become friends who talk about everything, and it is through getting along these days that we understand the unknown things in the world of consciousness.

It turns out that in the world of consciousness, there is also a lazy town, which is no different from reality, and there are also those townspeople living there, Ali and Ahri are also one of them. However, the two of them found that in the lazy town of the world of consciousness, except for the two of them, who were free to move, the rest of the people repeated the same things every day, saying the same things, and doing the same things. At first, they didn't understand it either, but then they found out that every time Gu Chengzi fainted unconscious in reality, he would appear in the lazy town in the world of consciousness, and a directive would also appear in Ali and Ahri's house. At first, he would be in a trance, unable to notice the changes in the environment around him, and would not know what to do. And when he walks out of his house, he will see a regular, unchanging world, this stereotyped world will slowly anesthetize him, and will make him gradually let down his guard. At the same time, in the world of consciousness, Gu Chengzi could not get out of the town with his own strength, and if he planned to go straight out, the other residents of the town would do everything possible to hinder him.

At this moment, Ali and Ahri will be dispatched, and they will slowly guide Gu Chengzi to complete all the things on the instructions, and finally let him reach the condition of awakening - to get out of the lazy town in the world of consciousness. Ahri told us that every instruction was the same - to ask Gu Chengzi to repair the wall of the house with a big hole, provided that no machinery could be used. Every time he appears in the world of consciousness, the wall of his house will break a big hole, and in the world of consciousness, he will become lazier than the real world, not to mention not using machinery to repair it, and he is not even willing to use machinery in front of him. If he chooses to leave the big hole alone, he will never get out of town. However, as long as he repairs the wall, he can swagger out of town without any one stopping him, and then he will wake up in the real world and forget all about what he did in the conscious world.

In the world of consciousness, Ali and Ahri have been monitoring his every move as neighbors, and they will appear at the right moment after Gu Chengzi is familiar with the environment, and slowly guide him to complete what should be done. If Gu Chengzi didn't wake up, they would take some extraordinary measures to make Gu Chengzi wake up, such as waking him up, spraying him with water, or even pinching him, and when he woke up, they would return to their original position and pretend to appear. However, no matter what method they used this time, Gu Chengzi didn't wake up, he didn't wake up in the world of consciousness, which meant that they couldn't guide him to repair the wall in his home, and there was no way to really wake up, and Gu Chengzi's fierce reaction this time was also something they didn't expect and see. I couldn't help but wonder if his unusual reaction had anything to do with Fleur? Speaking of this Ahri was also surprised, she said that she didn't know what was going on, her body was sucked into the sky by a force, and then she woke up inexplicably, she had never encountered such a powerful force, as if she wanted to suck the whole world of consciousness up. Lao Xu and I looked at each other, what the hell was Fleur doing inside.

In addition to monitoring Gu Chengzi's consciousness activities, Ali and Ahri's more important task is to erase things that make Gu Chengzi mentally stimulated in reality, for example, in the real world, if an object reminds Gu Chengzi of something, then in the world of consciousness, this object will also be projected. At this time, Ali and Ahri will go out to take away or destroy this object, and when Gu Chengzi enters the world of consciousness in a coma, he will not see this thing that brings him mental stimulation, and it will not cause him to think of anything. However, this method is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and there is something that neither Ali nor Ahri can erase, and they call it a black box. The shape of the black box is so strange that it is as black as a shadow, and it is difficult to tell what it is from its outline. Ali and Ahri also tried to destroy it, but it was very strong and could not be damaged by any means, so the two of them would secretly take these black boxes and hide them in a place that Gu Chengzi couldn't find.

At the same time, time has a certain connection between the two worlds, if Gu Chengzi is emotional, the time in the consciousness world will quickly lose, and if Gu Chengzi's emotions are very stable, the time in the consciousness world will become much slower than the real world. However, the perception of time is the same for everyone in it, and it is precisely because of the same perception of time and the environment that Gu Chengzi is not lost in the transformation of the two worlds, nor does he notice anything unusual.

Before we hear this information, we would never believe that the human mind has a world of its own, but when we hear what Ahri says, we can't help but wonder if there is such a world in our own head. In this world, everything is in order, you don't get old, you don't get hurt, isn't it good to be such a world?

That young man and we have only been in Lazy Town all our lives, so there is only the town there, and we can't get out, do you want to be trapped in such a birdcage forever?"

"What if...... I feel like I can be with my beloved forever...... Pretty good. ”

"Alas, little girl, you are still too young. What you see and hear in it is fake, everyone is fake, even me and my old man, we are all the same, cold, without body temperature!"

"Well, this is a reality, although it is dangerous, and sometimes it is very painful. But yes, you can feel the temperature, it's hot! It makes me very comfortable, very satisfied, if I can't go back to my body in the future, I want to beg that young man, let me out more, and feel the real world!"

"So, little girl, don't think too much about how good the world of consciousness is, everything is fake, or really good, it's best to find the truth. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

"It's late, little Joan, go back and rest. ”

"What time is it?"

"It's twelve. ”

"It's so late, then we'll go back, Ahri. ”

"Okay, go slowly, Comrade Xiao Xu, remember to send Miss Xiaoqiong back! And close the door by the way, save the person surnamed Mo from bothering me again!"

"Haha, okay, then I'm leaving, Ahri. Comrade Xiao Xu, where are you going back?"

"What a little comrade, shhhh

"No, no, no, not necessarily, you still have a good place to go!"

"Where?"

"Yamayama~Yamayama~"

“...... Stop talking nonsense and go back!"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to send me, I'm already familiar with this place, I know how to go back. ”

"Alright then, see you tomorrow, bye-bye. ”

"Bye-bye. ”

Lao Xu and I parted at a fork, and when we returned to our room, we lay on the bed and thought that the information Ahri had told us was too complicated, and we couldn't fully digest it for a while. If Ali and Ahri don't know that they are put into other people's consciousness, will they live as usual like everyone else, will they think that what they see in front of them is the real world? Forget it, these are not under my control, so let's rest first. As soon as I closed my eyes, the night passed.

"Hey, hey, wake up!"

I opened my eyes in a daze, feeling like someone was filming me.

"Well, who's that? What time is it?"

"Little girl, it's me. I turned around and squinted at the man, as if it was Gu Chengzi.

"Huh, Gu Chengzi, no, it's Ahri......"

"Oh, I'm not Ahri. ”

"And who are you?"

"I'm Ali!"

"Ali, why did you come here so early. ”

"I've got something to look for you. ”

"You...... Why are you back, Ahri?

If I follow my previous routine, I will wake up naturally at the end of the day, and because this bed is very comfortable, I will feel refreshed after waking up. But today is still a long time before I should wake up, Ali came in and woke me up, so the appearance at that moment was very bad, the eyes could only open a slit, the nose was like being plugged, the breathing was not smooth, and the mouth was so dry that I couldn't speak the whole sentence, this was the most uncomfortable experience since I came here. However, when I heard that it was Ali, my whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, and I became refreshed.

"Wait, Ali!?" I almost cried out in surprise.

"yes, I'm Ali. ”

"Ahh

"I'm here, little girl. ”

"Ahri, Ahri...... Are you all back?Gu Chengzi woke up?"

"yes, we're all here, and the guy is awake. ”

"Gu Chengzi?!Then can you let Gu Chengzi come out and say something?"

"Hmm...... This seems to be a bit difficult, that guy doesn't know what's wrong, although he is awake now, he hasn't spoken until now. ”

"And how did you get back?"

"I think about it...... I was taken away by that guy back then, Ahri told you. He took me to the edge of a deep cliff, and we stood on the edge of the cliff. The guy looked straight at the bottom of the cliff, but I saw that the bottom of the cliff was dark. I was scared, and the boy dragged me down, and I thought I was going to die, but it was amazing, in the end, I was fine!"

"Where is the cliff?"

"I don't know, there's nothing down there, just some broken machinery, discarded. But the guy could see it, and then he started shaking his head violently, and I didn't know what was going on, so he started holding his head and roaring, and finally, fainted!"

"Huh, what are you going to do?"

"What can I do, I looked up at that day, and I felt that I would never be able to get out! But at this time, it was a beautiful thing, and a broken machine fell down, and there was a hole! I picked up the boy and climbed all the way, and it took me a long time to climb to the end. I pushed open the door to the hole and found myself back at a garbage dump in our town. ”

What Ali told made me even more puzzled, it turned out that Ahri could stay here for so long, not because Gu Chengzi took Ali away and didn't come back, but because they came back for a long time. Just when I wanted to take him to Mo Qingyan or someone else to talk about it, Ali pressed me to the bed and asked me to keep the matter a secret. Because Ali was in the world of consciousness, he really felt Gu Chengzi's fear, and felt that he didn't want to tell anyone about it, but except for one person, that was me. I don't know why it's so important to tell anyone else and tell me alone that I can't help in any way.

"But why are you looking for me? I can't help?"

"You can help, little girl. The guy, to be exact, needs your help. ”

"He needs my help?"

"yes, I have a feeling, he's going to remember something, he's going to tell you what he's seeing, things we don't know are. However, I have one more request. ”

"What requirements?"

"I want you and your friends to make a condition, how about it?"

"On what terms?"

"First, you are not allowed to harm me and Ahri in any way, second, if you invade the town one day, you must not harm our flesh, and third, you are not allowed to mention us in the presence of that young man, not a word. Can you get them to agree to these three conditions?"

“...... I can get them to agree to these few conditions. ”

"Well, little girl, we believe in you. ”

"Yes, I believe you, little girl. ”

"Thank you for trusting me, Ahri, Ali. ”

"Then let's go back to the guy's room first, and we'll do our best to wake him up." ”

"Uh-huh, then I'll wait a while and come over and pretend he's woken up after a long sleep. ”

"Haha, that's smart, little girl. ”

"See you next time, Ali. ”

"Okay, see you next time. ”

Although Ali and Ahri both shared Gu Chengzi's body, it was still easy to distinguish from their tone and gestures, and looking at his back as he left, he suddenly felt a little reluctant. The trust that Ali and Ahri had given me made me feel a little heavy on my shoulders, and I didn't know what the day would be like when it started tomorrow. I looked at the empty room, and suddenly I was very lonely and lonely, the unpredictable life here every day, every surprising thing, it seemed that I was gradually getting used to it, and I seemed to gradually like it. And what am I here for? Where is he?
