Chapter 21: Truth II
I was in a daze for how long, and then I thought it was time to go back and finish it.
I focused my consciousness between my eyebrows, and for a moment, I realized that I was still at the bottom of the lake.
Then I went back to the water, tried again, and found myself still in place.
In the past, I was able to return to my body quickly, but why can't I do it today, is it because I was stimulated too much just now and couldn't concentrate?
Then I remembered that I had to find out about my parents first, and if they were really killed, this revenge would not be avenged.
After thinking about it, I went back to Xiao Wei's house, and this time even if I used violence, I had to ask what I wanted to know.
When I entered her house, I saw that her mother had returned, fiddling with a glass vase, and a bouquet of mountain flowers on the table, which she patiently inserted into the vase.
Xiao Wei was not in the living room, only Sister Xing followed behind the sweeper, as if directing it to sweep the floor.
"Sister Xing, what time did Weiwei go out?" her mother asked the robot.
"I went out on my bike at 9:10. Sister Xing replied.
"Did she say she was going home for dinner?"
She didn't say. ”
"Then you go to make lunch, it's not too early, the sweeper let it sweep itself." ”
"Okay, master, what do you want to eat at noon?"
"What did you buy in the morning?"
"Sorry host, I may have forgotten. ”
"You robots are forgetful, right? Whatever, look at what's in the fridge, make a few of them." ”
"Nice hosts. ”
I put my consciousness on the robot and wanted to see how she cooked.
"Open the fridge. She began to give orders to herself.
"Check the cooler. ”
"The refrigerator has been counted. ”
"Check the freezer. ”
"The freezer inventory is complete. ”
"A total of 18 ingredients to match the recipe. ”
"The match is complete, a total of 32 dishes. ”
"Check the kitchen and the ingredients. ”
"The kitchenware was normal. ”
"The ingredients are normal. ”
"Say to the hostess, 'Master, do you have any taboos?'
At this time, the robot asked her mother, "Master, do you have any taboos?"
"Huh, Sister Xing, what's wrong with you today? At this time, her mother noticed that Sister Xing was a little abnormal.
"Sorry to forget about your taste and the little master. Sister Xing said apologetically.
"Mom, I'm back!" Xiao Wei pushed open the door and broke in.
"Where did you go in the morning?" her mother asked her.
"Ride off the bike, Mom, tell you something terrible!" Xiao Wei said, taking her mother's hand.
"Sister Xing's program broke down in the morning, and she actually told me that she was my sister, and said that she was from another world, and said that she wouldn't hurt me, which scared me to death!"
"What?" her mother looked at her with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Yes! If I hadn't been on the phone with my sister yesterday, I would have thought that my sister's soul had run to Sister Xing!"
"What nonsense!" her mother scolded her angrily, and looked over to her in confusion.
Later, I found the manufacturer's phone number on the Internet, and they sent two people to fix Sister Xing. At this time, she turned around and said to the robot: "Go cook, Sister Xing, I'm starving!"
"Okay, little master. ”
Then Sister Xing went back to the refrigerator and opened the door, took out a few ingredients, and went to the kitchen to start busy.
What did Xiao Wei mean by that sentence to her mother?
Could it be that her sister is also called Wu Zi?
Is Wu Zi her cousin?
She actually gave me her cousin's name?
Did she have any holiday with her cousin?
Isn't this a bit psychopathic?
Sister Xing processed the ingredients step by step and extremely efficiently according to the procedures on the recipe, and it took less than half an hour to prepare four dishes and one soup in the two pots together, and the rice in the high-voltage rice cooker was cooked.
Sister Xing gave them a good meal, prepared the utensils, and the mother and daughter sat down face to face and began to eat.
Xiao Wei looked very happy to talk and laugh with her mother, and must have had a good time playing outside with her lover in the morning.
But her mother turned a deaf ear to Xiao Wei, frowned as if she was thinking about something, and glanced back at Sister Xing from time to time.
After lunch, Xiao Wei went back upstairs to her room, and I wondered if I would try to get along with her and get some information about my parents from her mind.
At this time, her mother said to Sister Xing: "Sister Xing, you will clean up later, you sit down." ”
"Okay, master. ”
"Sit here. Her mother motioned for Sister Xing to sit down at the table.
"Okay, master. Then Sister Xing sat down where Xiao Wei was eating just now.
Xiao Wei is very similar to her mother's eyebrows, Xiao Wei should be like this if she is so old. Now her mother stared at Sister Xing with an extremely complicated expression, and I felt furious in my heart.
Can she see me, too?
After staring at it like this for a long time, Sister Xing found that the master's expression was wrong, and said to her, "Master, did I make any mistakes?"
"It's none of your business, Sister Xing. Her mom said.
It's over, she can see me, is her mom a robot too?
"Are you still there? Wu Zi. Her mother asked Sister Xing softly with a serious expression.
She can really see!
What's going on????
Should I answer?
"Master, who is Wu Zi?"
"Sister Xing, don't talk yet. ”
Then she continued to whisper to me, "Are you still there?"
I had a vague sense of a big secret.
If you want to know this secret, you can't hide anymore.
"I'm here. "I told her through Sister Xing.
She was startled, and then her serious expression gradually soothed, and slowly turned into a sad one.
"Can you see me?" I asked her.
"I can't see you, I just feel like you might be there. She said.
"Do you know me?" I asked her.
She nodded, then begged me, "I hope you don't hurt my daughter, I beg you, it's not her fault." ”
"I'm not going to hurt her. I replied coldly.
Then she looked at me again with a complicated look and stopped talking.
"How do you know mine?" I asked her.
At this time, she became embarrassed, as if she couldn't speak, and finally stared into my eyes and said, "Wu Zi, I hope you can forgive me, it's all my fault." ”
I was shocked inside, why would she say such a thing?
"I'm the one you know. She said to me with sad eyes.
In an instant, I almost spun around, and my consciousness almost jumped out of Sister Xing.
"I know I hurt you, but I didn't mean to do it, trust me. ”
No! No! No way! I was desperately resisting this reality.
"I don't blame you if you want to take revenge on me, but please don't hurt my daughter. ”
God! Why did she say that! Why! Why did God arrange it like this!
Then she stopped talking, and looked at me with sad and loving eyes, exactly the same way she looked at me at the parting dinner that day, and I knew in an instant that she was telling the truth.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked her in grief-stricken terms.
"I was also confused for a while and fell into the role of a salesman. ”
"How did he lie to you?"
"I used to hear from my friend that the game was fun, and one day the salesman from their company called me to file it, and I took him on a whim. Then when I was creating a file, I found that if I wanted to change the appearance of the characters in it, I would have to spend a lot of money to buy it, so I just planned to play with it, so I used my daughter's 3D photos and her name to build the file. I also used my eldest daughter's name to build a file for you, and also used her father's previous photos. ”
"Do you have two daughters?" I asked her.
"Yes, I divorced her father when Xiao Wei was young, the eldest daughter followed her father, Xiao Wei followed me, and later I changed Xiao Wei's surname to mine. ”
I see, Wu Zi is the name of her eldest daughter.
"I just wanted to reminisce about what it was like to be in love when I was younger, but that day by the West Lake, I felt that you were not just a game character, but a living person, so I retreated. ”
"Do you still love her dad?"
"I didn't love it for a long time, I just wanted to reminisce about my youth at first, and I didn't think about it that much at all. ”
"Who arranged the plot of the encounter?"
"This was arranged by their company after discussing with me. ”
"I am mentally ill, did you arrange it with them?"
"No, I only found out about it later. At that time, I had already called their customer service and said that I was going to withdraw and didn't want to play anymore, and I didn't recharge for a while. But after a while, they contacted me and said that you were mentally ill because of your thoughts, and if you don't treat it, you will have to destroy your character to prevent harm to the game environment, and I feel guilty because I started this matter. ”
"You don't need to feel guilty, I'm just stringing code. I said to her coldly.
She looked at me sadly and continued: "Later they told me that they had sent you to the best psychiatric sanatorium, but the cost of treatment was also very high, and I felt a little struggling after paying for a while, so I stopped paying. Later, they contacted me again, saying that you had a serious infectious disease and had been transferred to an infectious disease hospital, and that you would die if you were not treated, and sent me a video of you at the infectious disease hospital. ”
At this time, tears flashed from the corners of her eyes, she wiped the corners of her eyes, and continued to recall: "I have always felt very guilty about you, and I felt that I couldn't see death without help, so I recharged you again." ”
"What's the matter, it's just a game. "I still can't forgive her.
She shook her head and said to me gloomily: "No, when you hugged me by the West Lake that day, I heard your heartbeat and felt your soul, you are a living person." You also know that I am now 62 years old, and I can't delay your life, so I proposed to break up with you in the game. ”
I was silent, was she telling the truth?
I remembered the day we broke up, she sat across from me, and now she sat across from me, but she was 40 years old, and my nose was sore, and I wanted to cry.
"How much do they ask you for each month?" I wonder how black-hearted they are.
"They sent me a list of the cost of treatment by email, all of which were imported drugs, plus hospitalization fees, about 100,000 yuan a month. ”
100,000! I really want to burn down that black-hearted hospital!
"Why don't you take me out so you don't have to spend so much money. ”
"I also made such a request with their company, but they said that they could not be discharged from the hospital until the disease was cured, and this was a hard and fast rule. I also knew that they were blackmailing me, and I asked the lawyer, who said that there is no legal rule that this kind of behavior is not allowed. Later, I also thought about it, because I made it myself, and I just took it on myself. Later, I recharged regularly every month, and then their company would also send you updates and videos every week. ”
"Are my parents gone?" I asked her sadly.
"I'm sorry......" She suddenly became excited, covered her face and sobbed.
I had already guessed the outcome, but I didn't dare to face it, and maybe it wasn't her fault.
After her mood stabilized, she continued: "At first, they lied to me and said that they only needed to top up for myself and you, but then after you entered the mental hospital, they came to me again and said that your parents were also seriously ill one after another, and they were very painful and needed a large amount of treatment fees, because they also followed me to set up a file, and if I didn't help them, they would die." Because I didn't have much affection for your parents, and I couldn't afford that much expense, I ignored it, and then their company didn't come to me. ”
"I don't blame you, don't blame yourself. "My parents really don't have much to do with her.
But there is a wrong, there is a debtor, these black-hearted and vicious beasts, sooner or later I will let them repay tenfold!!
"Later, they contacted me again, saying that you were digging a hole in the ground and trying to escape, and asked me to write to comfort and comfort you, but I was afraid that you would be mentally unstable, so they wrote to lie to you and said that your parents are here with me. ”
I see, no wonder those walls are so tightly connected to the mountain, they are not afraid that I will be able to escape, they are afraid that I will collapse and commit suicide, so that there will be no extortion.
How can this world be so dark, using the weakness of human nature to knock on the bones and suck the marrow of kind people but no one cares, and even pity those people in the virtual world, life and death are completely manipulated by others to make profits, but they don't know the truth until they die, thinking that it is just their own life!
"What are you going to do now?" she asked me.
"I don't know, but I won't let them go. I said.
"You don't go to them, they already know you're running out. ”
"How do you know?"
"Someone from their company called me and said that you may have run from that world to this world, and told me to be careful and notify them if there is any danger. ”
"Go and report it to them, I'm not afraid. "At this time, I really don't know what it means to be afraid, it's nothing more than death, and now it's more painful to live than to die.
"Don't be stupid, I won't tell them, but don't think about going to them for revenge, you can't fight them. Just stay at my house and don't go back to that world. ”
They've all called here, I'm afraid my body has already been destroyed for them in my world, no wonder I can't get back today.
Besides, what's the use of me going back to that world, although I hate that hospital and miss my parents, but the people in that hospital are also puppets, I'm afraid they are all virtual people, my parents are long gone, my friends and relatives are probably gone, what's the point of going back?
And that company of sweet memories is in this world, still operating there, and I swear that if I still have the slightest consciousness, I will destroy that company, and if I break this oath, I will fall into hell and never be able to live again!
"Sweet Memories"
What a warm name, but there is so much darkness and sin hidden underneath!
