Zhang Yaoyang also hinted that Liu Yang went to ask his cousin Liu Hai about the situation, although Liu Hai did not tell him about the prison being destroyed, but he was also relieved that Liu Yang did not have to worry about it, it would be fine.

Then, Zhang Yaoyang started his college life as usual - every morning class, went to the library in the afternoon to flip through books, and returned late at night, and then collected illusion value, and occasionally gave an ordinary nightmare to a student who didn't like it, and life was dull.

In this way, the first semester of the sophomore year finally ended completely when 2018 ushered in.

……

In the examination room of the final exam, Zhang Yaoyang looked at the test paper in his hand and pouted, simply turned over the test paper quickly, and then naturally lay on the table.

Soon, he was once again in the realm of illusion that existed in the subconscious.

At this point, the illusionary world was still the same isolated island surrounded by the subconscious ocean, but the bookshelves that had once been placed on the island were gone, leaving only a large green meadow with the occasional tall palm tree, and other than that, only an entrance to the underground in the center of the island remained.

In this semester, Zhang Yaoyang collected a total of three million illusion values, except for leaving 500,000 for urgent use, the rest was used by him on the hive, at this time, the entire hive has already manifested most of it, and the first fifteen floors have been opened.

Moreover, because of the ten-to-one speed of time, for the illusion world, three years have passed, and many consciousnesses have completed the nine-year compulsory education curriculum and have begun to specialize in their fields of interest.

This group of consciousnesses may not be as good as those top scientists in various fields in reality, but in terms of diligence and talent, they are far beyond ordinary people.

Entering from the entrance in the middle of the island, Zhang Yaoyang came to a corridor made entirely of alloy, and at the end of the corridor, there was a metal gate full of high-tech style that shimmered with cold light.

I saw him walk to the door and put his palm on a palm print collector, and suddenly, the collector flashed the words 'identity confirmation', and then an iris collector popped up, Zhang Yaoyang put his right eye on it, and after confirmation, a cold female voice synthesized electronically sounded.

"Identity confirmed, Honorable Commander, welcome back, you have the only supreme authority to the Hive Base, you can enter and exit any lot at will, please choose the floor you want to go to."

As he spoke, the alloy door slammed open, revealing a huge elevator hall inside, which could accommodate at least twenty or thirty people.

"Go to the second floor." Zhang Yaoyang walked into the elevator, and suddenly the elevator door slammed shut, and then there was a slight feeling of weightlessness, and about twenty seconds later, the elevator door opened again.

Zhang Yaoyang stepped out of the elevator and looked ahead, only to see a small city-like square appear in front of him.

The diameter of the first layer of the hive is 300 meters, and the further down it goes, the smaller the diameter becomes, like a cone, while the recreation area on the second underground floor is 290 meters in diameter according to the design, which means that the entire second floor has a total of 66,000 square meters of active area, which is about the size of nine football fields.

Coupled with the height of the second floor of 30 meters, the entire entertainment area looks like an empty small city, with the ceiling painted blue, and with special neon lights shining on the roof, it makes people feel as if they are in an empty city.

Moreover, these neon signs can also be adjusted to light and dark, and when night falls, the neon lights will also turn a special indigo color and shine like stars and moons.

In the second floor, Zhang Yaoyang has built dozens of small western-style buildings with reference to reality, some of these small western-style buildings are KTV, some are Chinese and Western restaurants, and some are bars, but none of them have opened, and Zhang Yaoyang does not want to spend the precious illusion value in this regard.

In the center of the second floor is a huge cylindrical building covering an area of at least 6,000 square meters, which is the most important library in the hive, where all the consciousness is studied.

Since the beginning of this semester, Zhang Yaoyang has looked at all the books in the university library and moved them all to the library of the illusionary world. The value of this library alone is more than that of an entire hive.

At this time, Zhang Yaoyang walked out of the second floor, only to see that the entertainment area was empty, without the slightest trace. It wasn't until he walked into the library that he saw many consciousnesses coming and going, only to see dozens of consciousnesses walking back and forth in the halls of the library, looking for the materials they needed, and many more people sat on the chairs provided by the library, quietly looking at the knowledge in their hands.

These people were dressed in simple white coats, dressed as scholars, and many of them had a stick of grass in their mouths, chewing on a book as they flipped through the pages.

Seeing Zhang Yaoyang come in, a neutral man with a head as smooth as a duck's egg immediately stood up and saluted, and said with a solemn expression, "Lord." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Alexander Nikolai Alekseevich Ostrovsky." Zhang Yaoyang nodded, there was no politeness, just a slight wave of his hand, and the test paper of the exam appeared in his hand, "Write the answer as quickly as you can, I have an urgent need." ”

"Yes, please come with me." Ostrovsky took the test paper without any expression and walked towards the office next to him.

This person was the consciousness of one of the more than 390 people killed by Zhang Yaoyang at that time, and when he assigned work to these consciousnesses, he did not divide them all into scientists, but only divided them into scientific research workers, and these 300 people focused on the six major fields of physics, chemistry, biology, electronic engineering, medicine, and mathematics according to their own choices.

Fortunately, as a projection of the real world in a dream, the laws of physics are completely consistent with reality, and there is no situation where the laws of physics are inconsistent.

Unfortunately, the two disciplines of astronomy and earth science were not established because they were not qualified.

For the remaining 100 people, Zhang Yaoyang arranged clerical jobs for them, such as clerks, planners, artists, accountants, human resources, and various logistics personnel.

Ostrovsky, on the other hand, was one of the logisticians, who was responsible for the borrowing and returning of the entire library, and because of his literary attainments, he was among the top in the hive.

Soon, Zhang Yaoyang followed the other party to the office, Ostrovsky took the test paper and read it, found a pen and began to write the answer, not only that, but he also picked up a stick of grass from the table and chewed it.

Zhang Yaoyang was a little curious, he looked at the table, and saw that there were still two grasses on the table, both of which were carefully wrapped in a paper bag.

"It's written, Lord." After only ten minutes, he raised his head and handed the test paper respectfully to Zhang Yaoyang.

"BBDCBABADCBCBCAAD......" Zhang Yaoyang nodded, remembering the answer to the multiple-choice question, and was just about to return to reality, but he seemed to think of something, turned his head again and asked, "Ostrovsky, I want to ask, why are you holding a piece of grass in your mouth?" ”

"It's because it's boring." Ostrovsky was stunned for a moment, and he replied without thinking about it, "I often feel that my mouth is very light, I always want to eat something, and there is always an inexplicable urge in my body to vent it, but I can't find a way to vent it." He scratched his head as he spoke, "Maybe life is too boring." ”

Zhang Yaoyang was stunned.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the consciousness in front of him.

However, he only saw that the other party's eyes were pure, like a newborn baby without the slightest impurity.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yaoyang's expression gradually softened, he silently lowered his head, picked up a piece of grass from the table, and put it in his mouth in the form of the other party, and suddenly, an indescribable bitterness passed into the taste buds and into the brain.

Is such a bitter thing the only pastime in this world?

Zhang Yaoyang couldn't help but feel a little emotional, he raised his head, patted the other party's shoulder gently, and turned to leave without saying anything more.

This time, Zhang Yaoyang did not immediately return to reality, but returned to the surface of the illusory creation island.

"I was negligent ......"

Looking at the tumbling subconscious ocean not far away, Zhang Yaoyang couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

The illusion world is indeed a magical world, which does not belong to the dream realm, nor does it belong to reality, but it does exist in its own sea of consciousness.

It is such a strange place, these consciousness bodies, but they can live a normal life like human beings - they have a sense of sight, touch, hearing and even taste, they can also feel lonely, and they will also produce seven emotions and six desires.

"Even if you lose all your personality and memories, and even lose your body, these consciousness bodies are still a person after all."

Zhang Yaoyang shook his head, he knew that he shouldn't have squeezed them like this, even if they were all heinous criminals in their lifetimes, but when their own sea of consciousness washed away their memories and personalities and everything, these consciousness bodies had already become a newborn, and they began to gradually gain new personalities, new memories, and new feelings......

Everything in the past has nothing to do with them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yaoyang seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly raised his hand.

Suddenly, the whole island began to divide into patches of golden rice fields, and corn, wheat, and even various fruits and vegetables began to grow like mushrooms after rain!

At the same time, the KTV, bars, restaurants and other business places on the second floor were also lit up for the first time, and fine wine appeared in the bar out of thin air, and a variety of delicacies appeared in the restaurant......

Looking at the instantaneously changing illusion world, Zhang Yaoyang's cold face finally showed a touch of softness, since he needs these people, then he can only treat them with sincerity, think about it, the other party will also sincerely give back to himself, right?
