Buzz ~ Buzz ~ Buzz ~

The monotonous and boring hum of machinery continued.

"Ah~ah~ah!"

I don't know how long it took, but after a low and long moan, Yuan Haochen suddenly opened his eyes.

He had just broken free from the nightmare, but his eyes were still confused, and he was still in a state of ignorance.

He looked around with some puzzlement, slowly swinging his numb shoulders and neck.

A bright white room with a large, simple bed. At this moment, Yuan Haochen was wearing a loose robe, leaning on the side of the big bed.

The sunlight was good, and the half-transparent curtain in front of the window flew in like the pages of a book. And the warm breeze drifted along the courtyard, and then mischievously climbed over the windowsill, and finally came to the bedside, caressing Yuan Haochen's face.

He only felt that the scene was familiar, but he couldn't remember more details for a while.

Whew~Whew~Whew~

At this time, the air-driven door quietly spread along the sides, and a slender woman with a delicate face appeared at the door.

"Hao Chen, you've finally woken up!"

Seeing Yuan Haochen leaning on the bed, the woman shouted his name in surprise, ran quickly to the side of the bed, and then hugged him tightly.

How warm, so affectionate, how intoxicating that embrace was.

Yuan Haochen was intoxicated in an instant, he was intoxicated in a trance, intoxicated in confusion, intoxicated in infinite reverie.

……

The woman's gentle and sweet arms refused to let go for a long time, almost melting Yuan Chen's heart.

After a long time, Yuan Haochen stroked the woman's long black hair and whispered in her ear, "Shuqin, it's good to see you." ”

"Me too, I'm really happy to see you wake up safely."

Chen Shuqin's gentle voice was intertwined with tears of joy, and she couldn't help but hug Yuan Haochen tighter.

"...... here" Yuan Haochen hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where is this?" ”

Chen Shuqin slowly turned her head and looked at him with a pair of clear and delicate eyes, which seemed to have a clear spring flowing and a ripple of tears.

"Don't you remember? This is the Rim World. ”

PS: [Rim World] is the name of the base camp of the Creator Civilization in the Edge World of the Universe.

Hearing this, Yuan Haochen's eyelids twitched slightly, and he asked, "Marginal World!?" The world of the Creator civilization to save the highest administrative center of the Alliance? ”

"yes." Chen Shuqin nodded lightly and said in a sweet voice, "It's that galaxy composed of twin giant quasars." ”

"Is it really a marginal world?" Yuan Haochen looked at Chen Shuqin's cheeks suspiciously, and then anxiously asked a series of questions, "You have woken up, how did you come to the edge world, what about human civilization, how is human civilization, how is the galaxy, how is the new world?" ”

"Do you think I'm a hundred thousand why?" Chen Shuqin laughed warmly.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, you say slowly."

Yuan Haochen chuckled and sighed, then kissed the woman's forehead.

"Do you remember how you fell into a coma?"

Chen Shuqin shyly stroked her slightly flushed cheeks with her slender hand, and then crossed the hairline of her forehead, and asked with a slight smile.

"I'm in a coma," Yuan thought hard, and then he realized that his mind was like a pile ......of paste.

Along the direction of the windowsill, looking out, Yuan Haochen actually saw a white sandy beach, as well as a blue sky and sea water. All this was so familiar, but it wasn't until a long time that Yuan Haochen remembered some messy memory fragments.

"[The Gate of Time and Space], Orbit No. 66...... By the way, General Volcano Ball and I were forced to flee beyond the universe by the gray regions of the Annihilation Alliance. ”

"Yes, you finally remembered." Chen Shuqin nodded repeatedly, "When I came to the edge world, the [Time and Space Gate] had just been repaired, and it was the fleet of the main civilization that rescued you. ”

"The [Gate of Time and Space] has just been renovated? When was this happening, can you be more specific? Yuan Haochen suppressed his emotions and patiently continued to ask.

"Hao Chen, you must not believe that nearly 20,000 years have passed since that great battle. Although the war was won by the Salvation Alliance, the [Time and Space Gate] was almost destroyed. Outside of the universe, you and General Volcano Sphere have been in a coma for more than 20,000 years in the ship's dormant system! Chen Shuqin replied.

"Save the Alliance and win the war...... destroy the Space-Time Gate...... I...... We have been in a coma for 20,000 years! ”

Yuan Haochen was suddenly stunned, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Yes, my great hero, you have been in a coma for twenty thousand years. It was your important discovery that allowed the Salvation Alliance to finally defeat the [Etched Quark Robot] of the Annihilation Alliance......" Chen Shuqin slowly told the story of the past, and wrapped her hands around Yuan Chen's waist, and her head rested on his shoulder.

"So, how did the Salvation Alliance overcome the enemy?" Yuan wanted to know more details.

"I don't know exactly because we've only been on the edge for a short time." Chen Shuqin shook her head and replied.

"We? When you say we, do you mean human civilization? Yuan Haochen continued to ask.

"Yes, the human civilization of the New World received the [Extended Communication] Space Entanglement Module that you sent back to the "First Rain" spacecraft, and then, at the right time, the New World got in touch with the Odumbra Telecommunication Center, and finally followed the route you once traveled to the Rim World......"

"You have also come here with the human civilization of the New World......"

Chen Shuqin's words reminded Yuan Haochen of a lot of the past, remembering that when he left the new world, he entrusted the comatose Chen Shuqin to Nalandar and the artificial intelligence Vali.

However, more than 20,000 years have passed, and Nalandar must have already returned to dust.

"It's not just me who came to the periphery."

Chen Shuqin's eyes flickered and stared at Yuan Haochen, wanting to speak and stopped.

"Oh, who else?"

Yuan Haochen took Chen Shuqin's soft little hand and asked expectantly.

Chen Shuqin smiled brightly and gently spit out a few words: "It's our daughter!" ”

"Boom !!"

It was really these words that made Yuan Haochen's eyes widen suddenly, his face turned pale, he only felt that he had received a hammer in the back of his head, and the entire spiritual world collapsed in an instant!

The white and bright room is still full of warm sunlight.

The bright smile on Chen Shuqin's face had not yet dispersed, but in Yuan Haochen's opinion, the originally intoxicating smile had become more and more weird.

"We ...... We don't have a daughter......"

Yuan Haochen's heart was like a knife, and he muttered at a loss, his eyes suddenly lost their brightness, and his hands hung down weakly.

From hope to disappointment to despair!

Emotions are full of ups and downs, ups and downs, Yuan Haochen finally knows that all this is just a beautiful dream, although it is intoxicating, but after all, it is just a bubble, and it will be broken when touched.

He doesn't have a daughter, and the so-called daughter is just a program in the colorful virtual world he weaves for Chen Shuqin. And the beautiful blue sky, white clouds, sunshine, sea water, sand, warm wind, and everything else are just a pitiful long list of values in the virtual world.

"Chen, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so depressed? Chen Shuqin began to shake Yuan Haochen's arm and said, "It's okay if you don't want to be like this, it's okay for you to be happy, I like your smile, I like to look at you quietly and smile, so that my sorrow will fly away like a cloud......"

This gentle word, Yuan Haochen seems to have heard it.

But at this moment, it was so sad, so harsh, so desperate to his ears.

Yuan Haochen didn't pay attention to Chen Shuqin's words anymore, and didn't dare to look directly into her tender eyes.

Only two lines of clear tears could not stop flowing from his eyes.

Yuan Haochen has never had such a strong sense of loneliness, deep in the bone marrow, straight to the loneliness of the soul!

……

I don't know how long it took, Yuan Haochen opened his eyes again.

The white sand, the blue sky and the sea are gone.

There was only a blank piece of paper, infinite confused eyes.

The white and bright room, the large and simple bed, is gone.

There is only an endless dim, desolate and empty space.

The gentle and delicate, beautiful and touching lover is also gone.

There is only one lonely person left immersed in the withered time, floating beyond the universe.
