CHAPTER XXXV
The warm sunshine outside the window, the blue sky, the verdant meadows, everything is beautiful. But what about reality? The two of them sat here facing each other, thinking they were comrades-in-arms, but in fact, neither of them had a good understanding of each other, right?
Cheng Jiyun felt that the person he was facing at this time might not be the person he knew in the game world, because the current atmosphere was already very embarrassing.
"Don't, don't." Cheng Jiyun admitted first, "You just treat me as nonsense." ”
"What you told me, it's fine." Sunny's eyes softened a lot, "I won't tell your secret easily. ”
"That's good." Cheng Jiyunpi said with a smile, "I know, you are also a good person." ”
"Good guys?" Sunny finally smiled, "None of us are, but at least I'm still pretending to be a good person." ”
The atmosphere of "...... forehead" was once again embarrassing.
The two of them were relatively silent for a while, and Cheng Jiyun thought in his heart, this trip can't be in vain, so what other entry points can help him learn more about here?
"The ......," he asked, "does your company's game program still look for volunteers?" ”
Sunny tilted his head to look at him, but didn't speak.
"I'll just ask." Cheng Jiyun smirked.
"Do you really want to play?" Sunny asked.
"Are there any other games for me to play?"
"Nope." Sunny shook his head.
"So, is Lin Yan still in the game?"
Cheng Jiyun's question made the originally relaxed atmosphere tense again, and Sunny pursed his lips, as if thinking about how to answer. Cheng Jiyun was worried about how she would perfunctory herself, so she simply put forward her own hypothesis.
"I've heard that part of your company's dormant experiment uses these dormant people to play at the same time, right?"
"Who did you listen to?" Sunny asked.
"Most of what I've heard is my own guess." Cheng Jiyun laughed deliberately, hiding his nervousness after guessing.
Sunny's expression dodged again.
"So, isn't that how Lin Yan is?" Cheng Jiyun seized the opportunity and continued to ask, because Sunny's expression was not easy at the moment, and most of his guess was not wrong.
"The thing I just saw, it's the hibernation pod." Cheng Jiyun continued to ask, "Originally, I heard that the hibernation pods are all in GL Hospital, which are used to keep an eye on people's changes. But the ones under the company, shouldn't they? ”
Sunny just breathed calmly in front of him.
"Did I be like them before? Experienced the game in hibernation? Cheng Jiyun always felt that he should have experienced something, "So, when I woke up, people felt uncomfortable......"
"That's all your guess." Sunny finally spoke, "That's what you're like, cranky and making yourself unhappy, aren't you?" ”
"Not happy?" Cheng Jiyun asked rhetorically, "I don't think so, I think there are always unsolved mysteries in life, and it feels quite cool to slowly unravel the mystery." ”
"Really?" Sunny smiled faintly.
Cheng Jiyun then took a deep breath: "Tell me, what can I know?" ”
"Everything you want to know, I can't say." Sunny is still the same, "Even if this company has nothing to do with me, anything I'm involved in is about me." ”
"So, can you tell me if my guess is correct?" Cheng Jiyun is still very persistent.
"Why do you have to know?"
"Because ......" Cheng Jiyun knew that he was in the world of the game, and behind the call he made, Shi Wei answered, which also indicated another possibility.
"Because my call went out and someone answered, if she could get my call, it means she's in the game I'm in too, isn't it?" Cheng Jiyun said, "If I can't find her in real life, then there is another possibility, just like when I woke up, the robot told me that Lin Yan is a virtual person and vetoed his existence in real life." ”
Sunny listened silently, as if the wind was calm outside the window.
"It's also very likely that Shi Wei is hibernating, right? For a long time, she missed the collection of information, so she lived in a virtual world, the same as Lin Yan? ”
Sunny's silence suddenly made Cheng Jiyun feel that there was a great possibility that his guess was correct.
"If you can't tell me, then let me go there and have a look, okay?"
"See what?" Sunny finally spoke, "What about that?" ”
"At least let me die." Cheng Jiyun replied firmly.
"Nope." Sunny refused, "If she's really dormant, how did you send the bracelet?" ”
Cheng Jiyun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook his head: "How do you know it's a bracelet?" ”
Sunny's eyes couldn't hide it, so he had to lower his head: "I'm just guessing, isn't that what you care about the most?" ”
"Huh." Cheng Jiyun smiled and smiled, feeling full of bitterness, "I thought that you could be a friend who helped me, but now it seems that you are hiding a lot from me." ”
Sunny's clear eyes were already a little moist and flickering, and she didn't know what complicated feelings they were, but she tried to hide them.
"Is she dormant like Lin Yan? Right in this basement? Cheng Jiyun stood up, pointed to the ground and asked, "Have you seen them?" ”
"Nope." Sunny also wanted to veto.
Cheng Jiyun shook his head, a little disappointed: "No matter who sent it to me, that person must have wanted to remind me and come here to find the answer." ”
He left his seat and opened the door, the company was large, the floor was empty, and now no one would come out to stop him from being so impulsive.
"Cheng Jiyun, what do you want to do?" Sunny stood up, trying to stop him.
"You don't have to follow me, so all the problems are my own." Cheng Jiyun looked at her, "All the consequences are also mine alone." ”
"Nope." Sunny grabbed him, "I want to follow you." ”
Cheng Jiyun looked at Sunny's determined eyes, what is the relationship between this little girl and herself? Even if she doesn't want to work anymore and impulsively works together for herself, it won't be.
He pressed the elevator and continued to remind Sunny, who was following him, "I said, if there is really a problem, I don't want you to be dragged into the water with me." ”
Sunny followed him, still silent. Cheng Jiyun knows that she loves to laugh so much, and her behavior today is different.
When the elevator reached the underground, his intuition told him that whether it was Shi Wei or Lin Yan, he must be inside.
In this dark room, because it senses the temperature of the human body, it automatically lights up a white lamp to illuminate the surroundings. Cheng Jiyun was stunned by the scene in front of him! In this white laboratory, countless white domes are placed. Each of these eggs has three wires connected to the connections in the ceiling, and in front of each oval egg, there is a flat panel that displays some of the data.
He walked here, looking at these eggs, are they all people who are not afraid of death?
"Cheng Jiyun." Sunny suddenly grabbed him from behind, "Even if you guessed right, so what?" ”
Cheng Jiyun gently shook off her hand: "At least I know the answer." ”
Sunny looked at him, "Why?" Why do you have to know? ”
"Why?" Cheng Jiyun looked at Sunny, pointed to the linked lines above his head, and asked, "What are these?" ”
Sunny glanced up, not understanding what he was referring to.
"These machines, these data cables, these things are the devices you built to control people?" Cheng Jiyun asked, "Frame people here, tell them that time and reality are not important, so that they can transcend time and space, and quickly reach another world?" ”
"No, it's not." Sunny frowned, that kind of sadness didn't suit her at all, "Their identities are different, and this is a prerequisite for them to survive here in the future." ”
"For life?" Cheng Jiyun sneered, "Do you want to sleep here for the sake of life?" ”
Sunny looked at him, not knowing how to explain it.
"I don't care about the others, but if it's my people, I'm going to wake him up! Then take him out of here with you! Cheng Jiyun replied resolutely, and then continued to search. These eggshells have a simple message that marks each person, and when you touch it with your hand, it is displayed with a liquid crystal number.
Cheng Jiyun rummaged through them one by one.
"Don't look for it." Sunny stood still, looking at him, "Even if you find them, you can't take them away." ”
"Why?" Cheng Jiyun ignored it, "Why can't I take it away?" What is the agreement, what are the regulations? How can there be so many rules! ”
Cheng Jiyun's anger was gradually exploding: "Look here! Who are they? Shut yourself in here, escape from the real world, for what? Is it because of your own cowardice, or is it because of your control? I'm going to find them out now and take them to the real world to sober up! ”
"No way!" Sunny still resisted, "Aren't you also selfish doing this?" ”
"Am I selfish?" Cheng Jiyun stood in place, looking at her, there was no smile on the little girl's face, "What about you?" What are you doing? What the hell is the so-called dormancy, the so-called game, and the so-called credit rating of the city? Actually, you're just using them! ”
Cheng Jiyun's hand touched a white egg, and the character information here popped up on it - name: Ke Qinghe, dormant time: indefinite.
"Indefinitely? What the heck? He kept touching and jumping out of all kinds of data, all of which made him sigh, "It's all indefinite?" Why? ”
Sunny didn't answer, just watched him search.
Cheng Jiyun looked at these strangers, and the consistent data shocked him, and at the same time, he felt inexplicably angry.
"Are these people all playing?" Cheng Jiyun looked at Sunny and asked.
Sunny wasn't going to answer, but her eyes betrayed it.
"Why are they forced into your game while they're asleep?" Cheng Jiyun shook his head, "Did I ever be like this?" Pull me into the game when you're unconscious? ”
"No, it's not." Sunny vetoed, "It's an item they can choose from before they enter the hibernation pod, so they can still feel like they're in contact with the outside world......"
"! Nonsense! Cheng Jiyun refused to listen to her nonsense, "The ghost believes it!" But he quickly realized the bad attitude of his attitude, and added: "I'm not targeting you, but I think this company never does good things." ”
Sunny understood, "Because of Shi Wei?" ”
"Yes!" Cheng Jiyun does not deny it.
"How much do you know about Shi Wei?" Sunny asked.
"How much?" Cheng Jiyun refused to answer, he just continued to turn around and look for the egg he wanted, he must find him, he looked through several identical eggs, and finally touched the one he was looking for - Lin Yan, however, the dormancy time on the eggshell is still "indefinite......
"What the hell is this indefinite?" Cheng Jiyun couldn't believe it.
"He was the first double test subject, that is, the one who was completely conscious and controlled his life." Sunny replied.
"Why?" Cheng Jiyun didn't understand, "What is he doing this?" ”
"Run away."
"Only fools escape!" Cheng Jiyun angrily opened the eggshell, revealing a transparent glass cover, like a protective film. And Lin Yan was lying in the water calmly, that face was right, but it was much cleaner than in his impression, and the short hair and the white patches on his ears were eye-catching......
"What are you doing here?" Cheng Jiyun finally saw him here, this man should be a living person, why is he lying here like a dead man?
"Don't!" Sunny was about to stop him this time, and hugged Cheng Jiyun.
"Let go of my ......" Cheng Jiyun just calmly asked Sunny to let go, but Sunny used all his strength to hold him, and even the wrist he was holding on to was already red.
Cheng Jiyun didn't break free, just looked at Lin Yan in disappointment.
"Listen to me......" Sunny still didn't let up while holding him, "if you just take him out like that, he's going to die......"
"And what's the difference between him and dead now?"
"He just wants to live in another world, why can't you understand him?"
"Understood?" Cheng Jiyun felt that his nose was suddenly a little sour, that imaginary world, that virtual journey, those words that came out, those tears that he laughed with, were not fake.
Lin Yan said that whenever I feel a little missing, I will come back here and find photos to recall the past and the present world, where everyone is in a hurry and is no longer living their own lives......
Is it your life to wrap yourself in such a plastic?
Cheng Jiyun felt that his eyes were moist, but he didn't want to cry, what was a man crying about? He has never cried for Shi Wei, what are he crying for this strange man?
He felt Sunny's hand finally relax, so he gently pulled away her wrapped hands, and then silently looked around the room, he had searched the whole room, unfortunately, Lin Yan was the last egg.
"Where's Shi Wei?" He asked, "Isn't she here?" ”
"Cheng Jiyun......" Sunny looked at him, "Shi Wei is really not here, she is not sleeping. ”
"And where is she?" Cheng Jiyun was powerless to think, only full of disappointment.
"I don't know......" Sunny looked down.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Cheng Jiyun didn't want to embarrass her, since she couldn't find Shi Wei, and since she couldn't take Lin Yan away, what else could he do here?
He didn't say goodbye and left straight away, he had to calm down and think about it.
"Cheng Jiyun ......" Sunny looked at his departing back, loneliness and loss hit her together, and a trace of warmth hung on her face. She gently touched the warm, moist streak of water with her fingers, were they tears?
For the first time, she felt the trail of tears flowing down her eyes, accompanied by a faint pain in her heart......
