A city is a city, and there is no such thing as paradise?

Is it that the people who live here have too much sense of superiority to call such a city "paradise". Then the outside world is easily divided into "hell" by them? All misfortunes have been isolated, but this is a pure land, carefree?

Cheng Jiyun doesn't believe it, there is such a thing, that person is still terrible, who will be the supreme person here? Can you divide the world?

"I said, are you playing too many games and can't figure out the real and the virtual?" Cheng Jiyun laughed at Chen Xizhou, "I don't believe there will be such a division, how advanced is this?" ”

"Well......" Chen Xizhou knew that Cheng Jiyun wouldn't believe it right away, but he was also willing to explain, "Then do you feel the climate here?" ”

"Climate?" Cheng Jiyun thought for a while, "Sunny day? ”

"That's right." He continued, "What about temperature? What about humidity? Do you feel comfortable? ”

Cheng Jiyun frowned: "I didn't pay attention to it so much, it feels good." ”

"That's right." Chen Xizhou pointed to the clock on the wall, "Do you know what time it is?" ”

"When?" Cheng Jiyun picked up his phone and looked at the calendar, which showed December. "December?"

He was surprised, he hadn't really paid attention to the date, and he had already made him dizzy from the lack of time and place in that damn game.

"It's really December?" He asked Chen Xizhou again, looking at him and nodding to himself. However, they were now sitting facing each other, and both of them were wearing thin coats.

"Intelligent control." Chen Xizhou said, "The city we live in now is like a big glass cover that covers us inside and provides us with the most suitable climatic conditions." ”

"What?" Cheng Jiyun reasoned with his thoughts, "A glass cover? ”

"Yes, but it's not really a glass cover, it's just a description." Chen Xizhou added, "Anyway, it is a means to control the local climate. ”

"Whimsical." Cheng Jiyun almost laughed, "Although I also doubt how December can still be so warm, but, you say that you can control the climate, I am very skeptical, how can people control the weather?" ”

"It's not people, it's technology."

Cheng Jiyun was stunned for a moment: "Technology? ”

"Yes, it can't change everything, but at least it can guarantee a part." Chen Xizhou gave an example, "You know that there used to be rain and snow, right? ”

"yes, yes." Cheng Jiyun replied.

"It's just a little more technology now, so it's not surprising." Chen Xizhou looked out the window, "Now, the maintenance of this city is very expensive, and those who can come here to live are not ordinary people." ”

"So what?" Cheng Jiyun continued to ask.

"So, people like us, if they want to stay here, they must pay a price."

It was rare to hear Chen Xizhou say such a meaningful word, and Cheng Jiyun was embarrassed to say anything about him, so he simply returned the topic to the game he was interested in.

"Didn't you say last time that Choose is still going to play a fully virtual game?"

"That's right!" Chen Xizhou is energetic again, "In the future, I will use virtual images to experience the game, improve equipment, and upgrade the experience, which must be very exciting." ”

"Avatars, is it a real person, or is it like 3D or something?"

"No, it's human." Chen Xizhou replied, "The experience of the game is to be real, so the full virtual is just a virtual scene, an unknown environment or an unknown person, an unknown identity." ”

"Is that for these people to experience all kinds of life in it?"

"That's right, a random identity, you have to face another world, it's exciting to think about." Chen Xizhou's eyes were shining.

"Looks like you're really obsessed with these things." Cheng Jiyun looked at the young man in front of him, he was very ideal and goal-oriented, he was really envious.

"Because the reality is not satisfactory." Chen Xizhou shrugged, "Maybe the timeline of your life is different from me, so I would like to have a lively crowd in an illusory world, rather than being indifferent." ”

Cheng Jiyun drank Coke and unconsciously finished a drink.

"Let's go, I have to go to work tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Chen Xizhou stood up, "I wish you a smooth internship!" Then suck the coke from the paper cup until it bottoms out.

……

At night, Cheng Jiyun was lying in bed, how long did he feel that he hadn't adapted to such a bed? It's so comfortable that you almost forget where you are. And when he closed his eyes, the sound of the wind in his ears urged him to fall asleep quickly, as if he could reach another place.

The self in the dream world will not know if he really exists.

Cheng Jiyun walked alone in the desolate meadow, there was a firelight in front of him that attracted him, and someone was waiting for him there.

He kept walking forward, but he couldn't feel the strength of the soles of his feet or the speed of walking, the more he tried to speed up his pace, the slower his movements became, he was a little anxious, looking at the back, desperately wanting to call out his name.

"Lin Yan!"

Until he turned around and confirmed that it was him, Cheng Jiyun was inexplicably angry: "Where did you go?" Do you know I'm looking for you! ”

Cheng Jiyun finally dared to come to him and sat cross-legged beside him, they surrounded the fire, but they couldn't feel the heat brought by the raging flames.

"I went back." Lin Yan replied lightly, as indifferent as ever.

"What are you going back for?" Cheng Jiyun asked.

Lin Yan took out a photo from his chest pocket, and the group photo of the three people looked a little blurry and black in the firelight, and he couldn't see the expressions on their faces clearly.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Jiyun glanced at the photo, and then looked at Lin Yan, the sadness in his eyes was distressing.

"It's just that the photo is lost, and I have to come back to find it." Lin Yan said, but his eyes did not leave the photo, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a smile of relief.

"I found it, so I can rest assured." Cheng Jiyun said.

"That's right." Lin Yan replied, "I'm just afraid that I'll forget their faces and forget what they are." ”

Cheng Jiyun looked at him, and Lin Yan also turned his head and glanced at him.

"I won't forget it." Cheng Jiyun seemed to be deeply touched, "People who can't be forgotten are always in their minds, whether it's their name or voice, they won't forget." ”

"Really?" Lin Yan smiled slightly, "But, why am I working so hard? Every time I think of them, I can't remember what they looked like, so I had to go back to my memory and find this picture again and look at it again. ”

After saying that, his gaze returned to the photo in his hand.

"You're thinking too much." Cheng Jiyun looked at the fire in front of him, "In the past, I heard others say that when you have regrets and guilt for someone, you can't remember what he looks like, but you are obsessed with all the things about him. However, when you see him again, you will find that this is all right, and it is enough to feel at ease when you see him. ”

Lin Yan looked at Cheng Jiyun: "Yes, that's how it feels." ”

"So what......" Cheng Jiyun laughed, "You must be entangled with them, and there has been no chance of seeing them again, that's why it's like this." ”

Lin Yan also laughed, but his face was full of bitterness: "Maybe." ”

"Then why don't you go to them?"

Lin Yan's smile froze on his face, turning into helplessness: "I don't know how to find them, perhaps, they will never be found again." ”

Cheng Jiyun looked at him and didn't know how to comfort him. Because for myself, although I don't feel that I owe anyone, but there are only people in my heart who can't let go of my heart, and it is unknown whether I can find it in the future.

Lin Yan sighed, threw the photo in his hand into the fire, and in an instant turned into black powder, flying with the sparks.

"Why did you burn again?"

Well? Cheng Jiyun blurted out this sentence, and he felt strange, why did he add a "again"? However, Lin Yan looked at the flames and had no intention of answering.

Cheng Jiyun was strange, but seemed to know that Lin Yan burned this photo, and he could always go back and find it again and find an identical ......

Why?

"Didi, Didi, Didi."

The alarm clock rang at an inopportune time, interrupting his dreams. Cheng Jiyun opened his eyes, the sky was not yet fully bright, but he could see that the ceiling had already taken on a dark blue color.

He took a deep breath, and the questions in his dream suddenly woke up in his mind. The once patched window, the intact door, and the pictures that can always be found...... Is it the world of replication that Chen Xizhou is talking about?

Therefore, no matter where you go, the original will always be in the same place, and as long as you go back, you can find the same.

So, he is the only one in that game who is an uninformed person, who is called a "rookie" by them and does not know it? So, Lin Yan will go back to the original place, retrieve his photos, or reassemble the parts he wants......

Alas!

Cheng Jiyun got up from the bed and scratched his head vigorously, as if he was already delirious.

Sober up!

He said to himself, it's a game! It's a game! I've left the game, so why do you care so much? But...... Hand bands recovered from prison...... That's just a copy...... However, that Lin Yan ...... Is it really a virtual character?

"There are no virtual characters in the game, they are all real-life experiences......"

That's what Chen Xizhou said......

"Ahh

Take a look at the time, make yourself early, go to work, go to internship! In order to stay here, you still have to work hard to face reality!

Cheng Jiyun changed his clothes, washed his face with cold water, and tossed himself a little, is he still in good spirits? It's just that there are some dark circles under the eyes, so be it, no matter how good the conditions are, that's it.

So, he stepped on the morning light and walked towards Bluestone Street.

Yes, walk over there.

It's not that difficult to go back to the past according to the path taken yesterday. What's more, now that I'm penniless, I can't owe too much money to Choose, so it's better to get up early and walk over honestly, which can be regarded as exercise.

Sure enough, when he arrived at Jasmine's restaurant on time, Anna happened to open the door and was very happy to see Cheng Jiyun coming.

"It's very punctual." She praised Cheng Jiyun.

"Thank you." Cheng Jiyun replied, and then entered the restaurant with her.

All the chairs were still on the table, and some of the after-dinner aroma of last night's meal was left in the air. Cheng Jiyun felt that his stomach was empty at this time, and he screamed suddenly.

"Didn't you eat breakfast?" Anna asked.

"Hmm......" Cheng Jiyun looked embarrassed, "At this time period, I want to be simpler." ”

"I can't stop eating it." Anna said, and went to the back kitchen, took out a few slices of bread from it, and handed it to him, "Eat some, it's not good for your health to skip breakfast." ”

Cheng Jiyun took the bread and was very moved: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Anna replied with a smile, "It's just that there is a little leftover, not every coincidence." ”

"Okay, I know." Cheng Jiyun replied, then picked up the bread and ate it.

At this time, three or five people walked in from outside the door one after another, and it seemed that they were all the service staff of this restaurant. The back kitchen was also lively, it was the chefs, they all entered through the back door, and the waiters were different.

"When you're done eating, let's go change your clothes." Anna reminded him.

"Okay."

Cheng Jiyun stuffed all the bread into his mouth, and then went to the locker room to change clothes.

The little key he gave him yesterday was still in his pocket, and he didn't dare to take it out, for fear that he would forget to bring it when he took it out.

He opened the door to the locker room, where there were two white shirts and a pair of black trousers, and he felt inside the cabinet, where there was a black bow tie and ......

"What is this?" Cheng Jiyun took out a piece of paper from inside.

He opened the piece of paper, and it was just a flyer that read, "Time Machine Bar opens tonight, guests can enjoy a free drink."

Bar? Cheng Jiyun really hasn't been there, and when he was in college, he wasn't allowed to go. Since it was just a flyer, he didn't pay much attention to it, so he stuffed the flyer back, took out his clothes and quickly changed them.

The clothes are just right on him, not big or small, and after dressing up, I feel really a bit like a waiter in a Western restaurant. Cheng Jiyun looked at himself in the mirror, he was quite angry, ten years later, he had faded from his youthfulness and seemed much more mature, I don't know if his current self meets Shi Wei's requirements?

Thinking of her, Cheng Jiyun chuckled in her heart, forget it, it's important.

After the morning meeting of the staff, Anna gave a brief introduction to Cheng Jiyun, and then everyone began to work on their own work, cleaning the restaurant again, setting up the tables and chairs, and so on.

Anna instructed him on some basic etiquette, asked him to imitate the operation, and try to be as standard as possible.

Cheng Jiyun has always been very attentive, listened very carefully, and got started quickly, remembering everything Anna taught, and she could feel from Anna's smile that she was still very satisfied with him.

Cheng Jiyun has also slowly regained his self-confidence, and it is not difficult to integrate into society.
