Laboratory No. 8 is an independent enclosed office, there is no one inside, and outsiders are not allowed to enter at will. The office is very simple, even rudimentary, there is not even a chair, no one works there, so there is no need for a desk lamp. There's just one computer on one desk, and that computer is important. It is not only a host, but also infused with a person's life consciousness in it. But few people knew the secret, only Horen knew. At this point, the computer screen suddenly lit up, and at first there was just a string of text, followed by several strings, and then a bunch, with a mixture of words and symbols, and the entire screen was filled. No one could read what was written on it, it seemed to be gibberish. The computer screen is constantly flashing, text after string, the host seems to be remotely controlled, but no, it is the computer's autoprogram that is activated, similar to artificial intelligence control, but it is not as simple as artificial intelligence, it is controlled by Aiwen's consciousness, it is Aiwen's real body, not the shrunken and unsightly body lying on the sickbed. The text on the screen is actually the self-readme of Ai Hewen's automatic program, but the code is not translated, so it cannot be read by ordinary people, and the content of the information cannot be recognized. If translated, the message should be as follows:

I'm Aven and it's October 25, 2020, 9:30 a.m. My computer will receive an email from Jason, which will open automatically, with the attached consciousness catalytic code program I developed, and I will wake up in my sleep and enter the consciousness catalytic stage, and I will no longer be trapped by Horon's consciousness replacement program. And I will also catalyze the awakening of Xian Xiaoya's true consciousness, she should not be replaced as a victim of consciousness, we have not deprived her of the right to live, as for her still indulging in the dilemma of sweet dreams, my catalytic program will stimulate her subconscious, so that her guilt and conscience warn her to stop indulging in illusions. I can only survive with her, of course she should live, as for why, my opinion is different from that of Horon, I think that if I want to strangle others like this and keep myself, I can't do it, and I will have a disturbed conscience. So, I have to stop Huo Lun's actions, and I want to make Xian Xiaoya wake up again and face her true self.

With 35 minutes left before waking up, I was able to get the conscious catalytic system into a critical state. And now, she and I have begun to receive the catalyst in our sleep—

And all the hints are in the pendant -

Suddenly, a hand shook on her arm. Xian Xiaoya fainted and fell to the ground and was suddenly woken up.

I only heard someone shouting in my ear: "Xiaoya, wake up!" It's me! ”

She opened her eyes and took a deep breath, where was she? Thinking back to what had just happened, I thought it was a nightmare. She was terrified. She woke up slowly, but she was still in shock.

Xian Xiaoya saw a stranger's face in the fog, who was she? The sound is familiar. Is she Ai? The gauze on her head has been removed, and now it is a very clear face, Xian Xiaoya was in a hurry, she didn't think about it, she was very helpless at the moment, and could only hug the person in front of her.

"Don't be afraid, everything here is fake." The woman said to her.

Xian Xiaoya looked up at the woman in front of her and felt puzzled, she hadn't reacted yet. Why is everything fake?

"Are you Xiao Ai?" She asked.

Xiao Ai nodded, and she explained to her word by word: "I have transferred you from the dream realm to the code space."

What dreams? What codespace? Xian Xiaoya noticed the surrounding environment and found that it was indeed not her own house, "What kind of place is this?" ”

"We were in a dream, our encounter, it was a dream from the beginning."

Xian Xiaoya was silent and couldn't accept it. I want to say something, but I'm afraid to know the truth.

Ai told her, "You have to get out of here." Not really here. ”

"What isn't true? How could my life be fake! You lied to me! ”

"No, listen to me, you have to live, not stay here, or we will all die."

Xian Xiaoya: "What do you mean?"

"Holland is going to replace my consciousness with you, and then when I wake up, I can become you, and you will become me, I don't want to see you become me, I don't want you to replace consciousness with me. Do you understand? The reason why I was able to meet you was that Horren had chosen early on and gave me your body. ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about! Who do you remember yourself?" Xian Xiaoya asked in surprise.

"My name is Evan, and I remember everything." She held out the pendant in her hand. "The letters on the pendant are the initials of my name. It's a hint I left in my dreams. I found it because the consciousness catalytic code was pre-activated. ”

"The more I listen, the more confused I become, I don't know what you're talking nonsense."

"It's Hollen, the guy you met at the clinic, and you said you couldn't see him clearly, because he did something in our dreams, so you couldn't see him. He wants to connect our consciousness banks, so we meet in dreams! Moreover, his purpose is to replace our bodies with consciousness. The process is in a dream. Ai Wen's series of explanations, Xian Xiaoya almost completely denied.

"I don't believe it...!" She shook her head, unacceptable. "You're lying to me...".

Evan was a little anxious: "I didn't lie to you, but here is another code program I made, and you are not in a dream but transferred to the code world now." ”

Xian Xiaoya: "I don't understand what you're talking about at all... I just want to get back to my normal life! ”

Aven: "Normal life? Not here! You have to face the truth! She looked at her.

Xian Xiaoya: "I think you are the most unreal!" I've treated you so well, why would you come to ruin my life? She pushed her away with one hand. I'm going back anyway! ”

Aven: "Where to go back?" Dreams? You see...", pointing to a bright light that suddenly appeared. "The real you are there!" twisted Xian Xiaoya's whole person to look in the direction of light, and there was a three-dimensional scene in front of her like a projector projected by a projector. That is the real memory of Xian Xiaoya's reality.

At this time, a series of images appeared in Xian Xiaoya's sight...

Time: Switched to 2020.9.18.

Restaurants near the financial center In the morning –

A woman dressed in a restaurant waitress uniform, holding a copy of the restaurant's signature breakfast, walked out of the kitchen hall of the restaurant, and after passing through the restaurant hallway, the waitress put the breakfast in front of a regular customer, and her eyes moved from breakfast to the customer, who looked exactly like Dong Li. Obviously, his identity is not Chief Tung Lee, he is just a frequent patron of this restaurant, he is a retired professor, also surnamed Li. looked at the waitress again, and only saw her back just now, but then she raised her head, only to find that she was Xian Xiaoya.
