This is the cinema.

A movie theater in a dream, to be precise.

At this moment, Gu Wu was sitting in the center of the fifth row, and directly in front of him was a 22-meter-wide and 16-meter-high IMAX screen.

Just like a general movie theater, before the official movie is played, you can see that the pictures and words on the screen are related to the rules of watching the movie and the escape method; After the last word was displayed, the other lights dimmed completely.

Being in such an environment, Gu Wu quickly found that there were drinks on the left hand side and popcorn on the right hand side, and footsteps suddenly sounded at the entrance and exit behind him.

Gu Wu, who immediately turned his gaze to look at the past, didn't gain anything, and this space could be said to be empty except for him.

Faced with this situation where he only heard his voice but did not see him, Gu Wu, who remained calm, quickly realized who the 'culprit' was.

The illusory footsteps came from far and near, and finally stopped beside Gu Wu, and a folded seat was also opened, and it was obvious that the 'invisible' audience was sitting on it.

Gu Wu, who didn't think much about it, stretched out his hand to the popcorn bucket, took out a few and threw them into his mouth, the crispy and sweet popcorn tasted good, and it was quite suitable as a snack when watching the movie.

[Responding to the host, did you know?] Actually, the popcorn in "Popcorn Movie" had no connection with the movie at first, because in the past, the thing that went with popcorn was a soap opera, isn't it funny? 】

"I won't judge whether it's interesting or not, in this dream, let's talk about the future."

[In response to the host, this system thinks it's good to enliven the atmosphere appropriately~ You have been maintaining a tense attitude, can't you!! ] 】

"Active......"

Although Gu Wu has no intention of accompanying the system to chat, as a future collaborator, even if Gu Wu's authority is higher than that of this 'super intelligent biological AI', he plans to cooperate with it a little.

"If you have to say it...... Well, in the past, especially before the 'Enlightenment', the books written by thinkers like Rousseau were not very popular, and in today's view, they are 'popular writers', so only a few aristocrats and elites buy their books to put on the shelves, and occasionally fill the façade, as for the books that the people really like......"

[Responding to the host, it's the exact opposite of a book, right?] 】

"It's not the other way around...... People are so fond of H books with H content, especially those describing bishops, kings, and noble ladies, that after the monarch orders the ban on books, there are still merchants who sell those books to make money. ”

[In response to the host, it seems that the people of the past are actually no different from the people of the present, and there is only technological backwardness. 】

"Aren't all human beings like that? Once the progress of civilized society is dispersed among individual individuals, it will find that the so-called progress is pitiful. ”

But.

Gu Wu took a sip of soapy happy water, stared at the screen that began to play the beginning of the movie, and continued

"As a result of the success of the H book, people in the past came to realize that the 'divine right of kings' was nothing more than a lie, and that the religious people who were God's people were not so pure, so that the oppressed people finally broke out and overthrew the incompetent ones."

[In response to the host, humans are indeed quite strange beings.] 】

At this point, the system also grabbed the popcorn, stuffed it into the non-existent 'mouth', and continued

[In response to the host, the world you control is based on the freedom you have given, except for that group of soldiers, other cities and other organizations have the possibility of rebelling against you. 】

"It's impossible to take back those freedoms and turn them into marionettes, right? It's just that I don't think they're stupid enough to go against me, because they've learned from the past, so they understand the gap between them and me. ”

[In response to the host, just like the people's rebellion just mentioned, the world in your eyes is different from the world in their eyes!] That's right, just like the people outside the movie and the people in the movie. 】

Bang!!

At the beginning of the movie, you can see the scene of artillery fire, and the soldiers who launched the charge are constantly falling, and their bodies are dyed red with warm blood and gradually become cold.

[In response to the host, the freedom you have given is both a blessing and a curse for them, after all, if you want to live freely, you must pay a lot, and now the host is the most clear in this regard. 】

Judging from the system's reminders, Gu Wu realized a little ......

He stared at the screen, a soldier was crawling on the ground, and when his comrade was shot through the chest by a stray bullet, Gu Wu picked up what the system had just spoken

"I gave them freedom, then they will fight for their freedom as well, so...... The reason for me to hold the World Conference is not to get along better, but to better prove that there is enough status to get more resources. ”

[In response to the host, this exchange world replicates an ordinary world, but adds the setting of 'alien' to it, so that everything will change accordingly; the transaction between humans and aliens is a problem, and the rationality of goods is also a problem, because vampires who like blood will not be easily recognized.] 】

"Are there any vampires?"

[In response to the host, there are no vampires in the traditional sense in this world, and there are a few similar existences like them, so it will not cause a big commotion.] 】

"World Conference...... It's going to be built on strength. ”

The system laughed at this moment, and then emphasized

[Respond to the host, the beautiful world in your eyes is just a phantom for some people, just to live and do your best, how can you pursue happiness? Even if you are the owner of this world and want to create a utopian world under the premise of 'giving freedom', that kind of thinking is no different from a pipe dream. 】

"I understand ......"

[Responding to the host, so the host is really gentle enough in this regard, obviously just need to be more aggressive; Of course, you can ignore it, anyway, no matter what happens, living in this world around you is a 'calm and serene' situation. 】

"So, I don't think I should have copied you too much."

[Responding to the host, if only a part of it is copied, isn't it like being imprisoned in a cage?] There is also the option of 'constantly crossing over', but in any case, that is a way of going to other people's worlds, not the world. 】

I want a place to belong, a place to belong to, so this world will be born.

"It seems that the time has come to talk to those people at the 'World Conference' to make sure they don't mess around."

This topic ends here, and the next one is......

"Is there an anomaly caused by a 'peculiarity' that is not your responsibility?"

[In response to the host, a bit of a peculiarity is almost integrated into the environment, and it is difficult to repair and erase it all, and it takes time; For example, there is a special spot on a snow-capped mountain that can create a hot spring, which has now been developed as a tourist attraction by the local government, and for example, under the influence of the special point in the arid area, there are two-headed strange birds that can create dark clouds, which are all 'advantageous'. 】

"After weighing the pros and cons, which one is higher?"

[In response to the host, it is difficult to give an accurate answer to this question.] 】

"You're useless."

The system that was evaluated like this ate a big mouthful of popcorn as if it was angry.

[In response to the host, the system is also working hard, and too much processing cannot be done instantly.] 】

"Sounds like a coquettish girl."

[Respond to the host,It's okay to become a boy.,As long as the host likes it.,You can switch from childhood to adult.] 】

The invisible system said this, and it didn't make sense for Gu Wu to want to complain, but he didn't say it, but continued to mention the key points

"Even if you don't look at the peculiarities, what is the matter with 'being crossed'?"

[In response to the host, this 'being crossed' has actually been explained before, and the system thinks that we can talk to the host now.] 】

The system stood up, and the reason why Gu Wu understood was because the seat next to him automatically popped back.

Feeling a gust of wind, the system in front of it seems to have made contact with the screen, and after the picture shakes slightly, there is a shadow that has no entity, only an outline, and it is most likely a system that has entered the movie world.

[Responding to host ......]

The sound of the system came from inside the stereo

[Someone told the host that it was gentle, and that was the only result; Deep down, the host wants them to be redeemed and not to continue to endure those misfortunes...... As a result, the system is also affected, and thus 'summons' according to the host's subconscious. 】

"Summoning? How did you get their information? That black cat was ...... before."

[Responding to the host, it is really the Black Cat Senior, who transmitted information about the group of traversers to this system, so that it will be so perfect when it is reproduced.] 】

"That's ......"

It's not 'being crossed', but 'reproducing the traverser' by yourself.

[In response to the host, they who survived should have disappeared, but reappeared because of the host.] 】

"Yes......"

Gu Wu supported his chin with his right hand, and his expression was calm as he stared at the screen

"Just don't make a big fuss, or ...... You send them back to the world of nothingness. ”

[In response to the host, the system understands and begins to look forward to the next story.] 】

At the end of the conversation, Gu Wu also closed his eyes in the sound of artillery fire in the movie.

After a period of time, when his consciousness changed from blur to clarity, Gu Wu smelled the fragrance that was nearby.

The bed that was originally slept alone had an extra guest at some point.

"It's so cold......"

Seeing that part of the futon was snatched away, Gu Wu, who was chattering, shortened the gathering with the other party and prepared to sleep for a while......

————

Woke up......

The traverser named Green opened his eyes.

In front of him was a cell with his hands and feet cuffed, and an all-round camera above his head that didn't give him any privacy.

Fortunately, the chain is long enough to satisfy some activities.

Moving his gaze to the front, Grimm, who stood up, made the chains rattle.

Across from him, Rhodes, who was also locked in a cell, appeared to have woken up and was reading a book with a black case.

"Green, you slept soundly, and you're only waking up now."

"How long has it been since we got here?"

"One night, ten hours and twenty-six minutes to be exact, this is the time it takes me to wake up, and the time you wake up is ...... Twenty-five minutes or so, because the book is very interesting and I forgot to count. ”

"Well, you're boring enough......"

Green looked around in response.

"There are no guards."

"They only make regular rounds, and one of the soldiers gave me this book in exchange for giving them some information."

"What is it?"

"Ability."

Ha?!

Green glared at Rhodes.

"Ability is our killer weapon?!"

"So what? Do you want to rebel against Gu Wu and that woman? Didn't you say you were willing to surrender before? ”

"That's just...... I really don't mean to fight, but wouldn't it be better to keep it as secretive as possible? The survival rate will also be greater. ”

Neither Green nor Grimm was going to fight, but ...... I'm afraid of what if, so be prepared to fight to the death.

"After I fought the woman named Altair, I realized that we could not win."

Putting it down, Rhodes stared at Green with dead fish-like eyes

"Gu Wu let us survive and didn't let people torture to extract confessions, which is enough to prove his position, otherwise you and I will be taken away from our hands and feet as soon as possible and become the object of research; You must know that the researchers in this base are very interested in 'Aliens' and 'Aliens', if there is no order from Gu Wu, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"You're calm enough."

"It's not that I'm calm, but that there's only one choice in front of me, so it's only a matter of accepting it."

As long as you don't become an enemy, that's how Rhodes sees it.

"Will anyone else show up?"

"You and I are not special existences, we can't call them weak, and we can't be called strong, so other people have reasons to appear."

"I don't want to admit it, but it's true...... Those traversers are very strong. ”

Green took a few steps back and lay down on the bed.

"Rhodes, the world ...... Can you really accommodate us......"

"I don't know, and I haven't thought about it."

"Yes."

"It's just ......"

Pick up the Rhodes again to replenish

"Gu Wu, who is also a traverser like us, must be able to change all this, his strength has reached an incredible level."

So—

"It's not impossible to cause a miracle."
