00 Return to nothingness

When I woke up, I was in a cool-looking room. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Why do you say it's cool? Because this room looks dilapidated, there is a sense of "unfinished", not to say that the "rough room" is "unfinished", but-

The whole room is a cuboid outlined with lines that slightly emit green fluorescence, in which the wooden floor and stone walls look fine, but the surface above the cuboid is completely pure black background painted with green mesh lines, if you use a more vivid statement......

It seems that I forgot to map the ceiling while 3D modeling.

Not only that, but apart from the double bed with nice cushions and beige sheets under him, the rest of the furniture in the room is also in a state of "no textures, completely relying on auxiliary lines to represent the plane".

The same was true of the small cabinet-like furniture next to the bed, and Kolotia carefully touched the surface of the pure black background painted with green mesh cables, but fortunately there was no danger, just hard, cool, and I couldn't tell what material it was - but it was very slippery and had very little friction.

What's going on?

Kolotia struggled to remember what had happened-

In order to maintain the stability of the underground spiritual veins of Sun City, he was forced to replace Lisa as the core of the cathedral's underground facilities. Then a large number of spiritual veins flow through one's body and soul......

Although she is a traverser, Kolotia quickly learned a lot of knowledge from the other world by relying on the powerful intelligence and spiritual bonuses obtained from the game's attributes. Colonia, who was more or less half a scholar, had a sufficient ability to estimate the state of affairs, so she was well aware that with the strength of her soul, she would inevitably not be able to regain her free will in that state - at least not by herself from that system without the action of an external force.

Although Kolotia is actually considered a "core", her soul is far from strong enough, and she is completely passive in the entire system.

Because in Kolotia's cognition, even these NPCs are intelligent beings with independent personalities and independent thinking, so it is really difficult to ignore their lives.

In the end, it is also hundreds of thousands of lives that can think and have feelings like yourself. It's really hard to say, "What do they have to do with themselves?"

Therefore, Kolotia was ready for "sacrifice" at that time.

Or rather, Kolotia gambled all her hopes on the mysterious figure who claimed to be the "Shadow". The shadow of the self-proclaimed "outside" being should still have some way - Kolotia had more or less considered such a thing when making that choice.

"But it's all here, and it's useless to think about it. Saying...... Why don't you have doors or windows in this place? ”

Kolotia rubbed her head, looking at the smooth (and looked) marble walls with a headache.

"Am I being confined and confined to prison? Uh-huh, anyone? ――”

Feeling uneasy, Kolotia raised her voice slightly and shouted.

However, this is not of much use, as the room is so small that there is not even an echo.

"What can I do about this?"

Kolotia tried to call out the game menu with her mind to see if she could find a clue, but as a matter of course, nothing happened, apparently it didn't work.

This is a big crisis.

I woke up and was locked up in a weird room with no doors or windows. There is no means of communication with the outside world.

Kolotia tried to use the spells she already had.

Food-making ...... OK, bread is there

Water Formation...... OK, water is also available

Although she didn't have an appetite, Kolotia tried to taste it. The meat floss bread tastes pretty good, at least you won't starve to death, which is really good news.

Next up is the backpack.

Although the backpack is also a function provided by the "game system", the underlying implementation principle of that thing is still "self-analysis", which is equivalent to the help of the game system, which encapsulates this spell that is difficult for ordinary players to master.

Just as Kolotia predicted, it took a lot of work, but the backpack was successfully summoned.

At least I can find something to do now.

Probably because she had been cosplaying Pachua, Colonia's interest in books was indeed increasing, so much so that she had a habit of buying spell books around when she had nothing to do, or using her skills as an "inscriptionist" to transcribe a few books borrowed from the library.

It's a bit difficult to call itself a "big library that doesn't move", but Colotia's collection can fill two or three shelves.

The next thing you can do is read a book.

#

Even Kolotia herself didn't know when she had developed such patience, and she could really stay in a room without doors and windows all day, eating spice bread on the first day, meat floss bread on the second day, hot dog bread on the third day, and brioche bread on the fourth day...... days with books all day long.

Because she didn't know how long she would be imprisoned, in order not to consume too much of the resources of "books", Kolotia tried her best to let herself sleep more and move less, however, in the end, after Kolotia herself didn't know how long, she only had the last few books left of the wild history of the Sun Royal Family.

I didn't even think I was crazy.

"Or maybe I'm crazy but I don't realize it......"

However, just as Kolotia was losing patience and gray thoughts were flooding her mind. This sad state of affairs has finally changed a little.

It was when Kolotia was researching the spell to summon a seafood pizza out of thin air, and a large green line appeared out of thin air on the opposite wall, and then quickly formed the shape of a door.

The material of the door began to change rapidly, metal, wood, frosted glass...... Then, as if I was not satisfied, the structure of the door was changed from a push-open type to a sliding door, and then there were various experimental materials, and even a change of pattern.

At first, Kolotia was stunned by this "vision", but after a while, she finally couldn't help it.

"Hey, hey, you can open any door, open it and I'll get out......!"

Without caring about the image, this sentence Kolotia basically shouted.

Then, there was a voice outside the doorβ€”

"Eh, hey?!! Are you awake already......?! ”

"No, I think I've probably been awake for over a year......"

"Woo ......?!"

- There was a lovely exclamation from outside the door, and then the door to the room was quickly opened.

Appearing in front of Kolotia was a blonde man with two ponytails and a black trench coat...... Lori.

"That's, that'...... Welcome to the Space-Time Administration's No. 48 Virtual World Control Center, I, I'll be your superior in the future, great, probably. ”

Panic, this guy must be panicked, right? Although her ability to read emotions didn't work on the person in front of her, her expression was clearly not too difficult to understand.

"Ah, by the way, we've actually met before...... I am the shadow. ”

At this moment, Kolotia felt as if something was shattered in her worldview.

Who is the "shadow"?

In Kolotia's cognition, the guy who found herself inexplicably is mysterious and powerful, and all her abilities are given by her, and she can even modify the functions of the "system", as if she is omnipotent-

Well, she's actually a blonde Lori that's not as tall as her chest. As soon as they met, they were very exaggerated "eh, hey" and "woo", and when I saw her like that, I almost bit my tongue.

Well, I need to explain.

Very, it needs to be explained.

Under Kolotia's inquiring gaze, Lori, who claimed to be Kolotia's superior, looked even more anxious.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Slightly late...... A little...... I was busy with other things, and I forgot about it by accident......"

It seems that he has made a lot of determination, and the little little man with golden hair tried to hold back these words, and his eyes were still sideways.

Obviously, she is also very weak-hearted.

Did you accidentally forget it for more than a year.

Although she wanted to vomit like this, seeing that the other party seemed to be very remorseful, Kolotia finally tried to hold back.

"It doesn't matter how this kind of thing is for a while...... "Colotia resisted the urge to sigh, "let's tell me what is going on?" Can I go back? ”

"Woo...... Shadow raised its little head, and then let out a slight mournful scream.

"What's wrong?"

"If you lie, you will feel uncomfortable, and if you don't, you will be angry......"

Pitiful expression.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's okay...... Rest assured, I don't have the strength to be angry right now. ”

The worst answer is probably "can't go back", and to be honest, Kolotia doesn't think much about it. I couldn't go back anyway.

"Can ......"

"Huh?!" Shadow's answer was completely unexpected.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, but ...... Because of the peculiarities of the world over there, distortion occurs in the transformation, and the body and appearance can only be formed according to the tendency of the soul itself......"

"Uh-huh! And then what? ”

Shadow's answer was not only beyond her expectations, but also beyond Kolotia's expectations.

If you go back to Earth now, not to mention the issue of identity, with the current appearance of purple hair and purple eyes, you can't explain which galaxy you are from in the universe...... What's more, although I've been somewhat accustomed to my current body recently, it's better to change back to my original appearance.

Colotia was thinking about it in her heart as she smiled and nodded her head with a beautiful vision for the future.

"Even if you go to Earth, your body will still be the way it is. That would be inconvenient, wouldn't it? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Kolotia was stunned for five seconds before she came to her senses. The original smile was stiff there, but how sad it was to look at it at the moment-

"Just now...... Not that it is formed according to the tendency of the soul itself...... Yes? ”

"I'll admit that I've been acting a little feminine lately, but I've always felt like I'm still a boy at heart. Anyway, I've been like that for more than 20 years, and I think, at least in the general direction, I'm still very boyish or something...... How can I be classified as a girl in my soul, and I really have too weak willpower...... Or is it ...... Is it because I haven't exercised at all for a year after being locked up......"

"Ahh

"You may have a misunderstanding. In fact, you are not traveling to that world, but you are 'mapped' to that world according to some kind of rules. In other words, you are a 'copy' according to some kind of transformation rule, relative to your 'original'. Your memory doesn't think it's supposed to be like this, but it's the opposite......"

"Huh......?"

Colotia was tempted to faint - but her willpower was noticeably better than she had thought - and it had been a long time since Colotia had felt the cowardly emotion called "grievance". Rather than feeling wronged, it is better to work hard for what you can fight. This is how Kolotia comforted herself when she "crossed" into this world.

However, no matter how you say it, such a reality is too difficult to accept.

"What, this is. Wouldn't I have no home? ”

"Well, this dorm room is assigned to you. If there is a need, you can also apply for expansion or reorganization...... If you want to be more luxurious, I can help you pay for it or something, after all, you have also done me a great favor or something...... Our welfare package here is still good......"

"Well, I'm sorry, but I'd like to calm down by myself first...... May I? ”
