After an indescribable feeling of vertigo, Jun Tian opened his eyes: transparent dormant chambers, metal walls, and faintly glare fluorescent lamps. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He knew he was back, or rather - he was awake!

Not so long ago, he was so resistant to everything here, but after a few lonely and helpless days in Gensokyo, when he opened his eyes and saw everything around him, he felt a sense of belonging and security that he had never felt before.

"Brother Tian, are you okay? Brother Tian! ”

A voice pulled Jun Tian back from his trance, and his gaze focused on the face in front of him - it was Link.

"I ...... It's okay! Jun Tian shook his head, temporarily shaking off the emotion in his heart, at this time Lilith had already walked out of another dormant warehouse, Jun Tian's eyes quickly shifted to her: "Lilith ......"

Lilith didn't look at Juntian, but walked to the console on the side, found the coordinate map and entered a coordinate.

"Xiaolin, change course, let's go here."

Link nodded to Jun Tian, walked quickly to Lilith's side, and looked at the coordinates displayed on the screen: "Mechanical City - Boss, have you found a new companion?" ”

"He's the one who found it."

"Brother Tian found it? Boss, could it be that Brother Tian was really sent by you to observe the new Awakened? ”

Lilith was noncommittal to Link's doubts: "You should go to the cab, we don't have much fuel, hurry up!" ”

"Understood!" Link nodded to Juntian again, turned away and walked out the door.

With the soft sound of the hatch shut, the room where only Juntian and Lilith were left fell silent instantly.

"Thank you......" Jun Tian broke the awkward silence first.

"I'm not doing this to thank me for you." Lilith's expression remained unfazed, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her.

"I know...... But I still want to thank you - you saved me, again! ”

"It's not ......me this time," after a pause, Lilith turned and walked to the window, as if thinking about something, "You are on the 'outlying island', have you seen Mr. 'Shi'?" ”

"Who is Mr. 'Shi'?"

"The one who helped you."

"Someone who helped me?" Jun Tian looked puzzled, "Didn't you arrange for that group of freaks to save me?" ”

"No—no one can tell him what to do unless he wants to." Lilith turned to look at Jun Tian, "Who did you see on the Outlying Islands?" ”

Jun Tian struggled to recall the experiences of the past few days: "A man who saved me in the park, nicknamed 'Madman', a dwarf who sent me from Gensokyo' to meet you, Mu Mu, and an old butler of an ancient castle whose name I don't know. ”

"Have you seen the old butler of the castle, but not his master?"

"You're talking about the Earl?" The short and unpleasant meeting with the blonde man in the castle made Jun Tian subconsciously ignore the blonde man, "I saw him, but he didn't say anything." ”

"Didn't say anything?"

"He seemed to be very prejudiced against me, and he didn't tell me anything, except that he was asked to help me, and then he let me go - I thought he was a helper you hired."

Lilith shook her head, "It's Mr. 'Shi' who wants to help you—only he can get that self-righteous little bat to help someone he doesn't like." ”

"Who is Mr. 'Shi'? Another group of humans like the Vault? ”

"No, he's a computer program."

Lilith's answer surprised Jun Tian inexplicably—an answer that caught him off guard!

"Computer...... Procedure? ”

"Yes, computer programs."

"If he's a computer program, why should he help us? I thought ......"

"You think all programs are human-hate?" Lilith's charming eyes looked at Jun Tian, "You're wrong, it's not computer programs that harbor hatred, it's humans - awakened humans. ”

An even more terrifying answer that made Jun Tian completely messed up - it was an answer that was enough to destroy the knowledge he had just established!

"I don't understand, what ......the hell is this" Jun Tianxia shook his head consciously, this topic came so suddenly, he was not ready to accept this answer at all. What the hell is this world-I'm in a mess! ”

"You're messing up because you don't know the world yet! From birth to growth, you have been indoctrinated with the wrong idea that you can't see the world clearly, you don't know anything about the world! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Jun, do you look at the current world, is it still a world that belongs to humans?"

Jun Tianleng paused, his panicked eyes became dim, and his voice lowered: "It's not ......"

"This world has long belonged to robots," Lilith said the extremely cruel truth with a calm face, with neither pain nor sorrow, "and the core world of robots is in 'Gensokyo'!" Lilith glanced at the confused Juntian, "We are in a special era - abandoning the existence of reality and living in a fantasy world!" ”

"Fantasy World...... But here we come out - we're in the real world right now! ”

"But we're only in the minority! We are marginal people who have rebelled from the core world, and for those in the core world - whether natural or programmed - we are viruses! A virus that tries to subvert the existing rules and destroy the core world! ”

Virus - this is not the first time Jun Tian has heard this statement, and now, he finally understands what a virus is - he is a virus!

"It shouldn't be like this...... It shouldn't be this way! Jun Tian shook his head and tried to deny all this, "If that's the case, why did you save me!" Jun Tian looked up suddenly, "Why do you want me to wake up!" ”

Juntian's emotions became intense, and Lilith remained expressionless, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

"You're destined to wake up, even without me."

"Why!"

"Rules -- you can also understand them as fate."

Jun Tian shook his head painfully, his eyes were sloppy: "I don't understand...... I don't understand...... Why! ”

Lilith hugged Jun Tian, who was on the verge of collapse, and let him lean on his shoulder: "The world does not work according to our ideas, God created rules, even if we don't understand or even don't want to, but we can only live under such rules." ”

Lilith's embrace slowly restored Juntian's turbulent state of mind.

"I don't understand...... Why is this happening? It shouldn't be like this......"

"You'll understand, I said, you have to understand the world first - it's hard, but you have to understand the world!"

"Understanding the ...... of the World"

"Yes, know the world......" Lilith caressed Jun Tian's back, and her demonic voice whispered in Jun Tian's ear, "You will definitely do it - this is the rule!" You just need a little bit of time...... Now get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be fine......"

"It's going to get better......"

"Yes, it will be fine......"
