Chapter 17: A Bubble

In the black room, there was silence, and the light shone through the cracks in the wall, and the figure curled up on the bed could be faintly seen.

The pure white clothes were even brighter and cleaner in the moonlight outside the window, but they did not fit in with the slightly skinny hands under the clothes.

Location: Unknown.

She didn't know how long she had been here, and the only other scene she had seen was the bright hallway outside the door, and the other room at the end of the hallway.

Today, they're going to enter that room again.

On the bed of "Brother ......", a small voice came out that seemed to moan in pain, but the curled up body did not change in the slightest.

His voice trembled, as if he was terrified of what was to come.

At the same time, a hand reached out from the darkness and gently touched the weak girl, soothing her soul, overwhelmed by the fear of weakness.

"Bear with me, I will soon take you to eat delicious food and sleep in a comfortable bed, and you won't have nightmares all day long, wait a little longer......"

The girl relaxes.

Raising the eyes buried in the arms, the eyes seem to be as bright as a galaxy, especially dazzling in the lightless room.

Looking at her pupils, the hand of the person in front of her paused, she couldn't hear her breathing, she slowly lowered her eyes and lowered her forehead, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

Sequela.

Data recording, starting with the eyes, then the voice, the hair, and finally the whole body......

They've tried it many times, and it's all the same.

"Brother." The girl called softly.

The man raised his eyes, a smile on his face, and in his other hand was a gift that had been prepared, an old handheld game console, but it was also the best gift he could give her.

The man smiled and opened the game, and a pixel voice came from the game console: "Play the game, Pac-Man, I've already played a new level on it, it's a bit difficult, you can try it." ”

The light in the game shifted from his face to the little girl's face, which was even thinner from the bottom up.

The man glanced at the surveillance device on the wall facing the girl's point of view, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

At the same time, the monitoring room.

The person sitting in the seat watched their every move, and even the man could see it clearly.

"It's a bit difficult."

He pondered the meaning of this sentence, and then instructed the person next to him to turn up his voice loudly.

"Don't come in without my orders, you're allowed to touch the fish for half an hour."

The people in the monitoring room have already dispersed, only one person is rubbing the quartz watch on his wrist, and the sound of sparse pixels in the picture sounds.

He lit a cigarette slowly.

Meanwhile.

In the grocery store in the community, He Qixuan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Uncle, don't fix me, I won't work here tomorrow, the house in the community is also rented, and there are people who come to me every day to collect debts." ”

At this moment, the phone rang, and He Qixuan glanced at the caller number, and his smile became even more bitter.

"Look, isn't that a coincidence?"

He answered the phone and pressed the speakerphone by the way.

There was a rough voice like a fierce god on the other end, and there was a bit of teasing: "Boy, have you thought about it, do you want to work for us, your debts are not easy to repay." ”

"No, I can still hold on." He Qixuan still repeated his previous response.

Seeing that the uncle's expression changed very quickly, he was relieved after he walked away with his things.

The phone hung up, the boss came out in a vest, and looked at the old man who had already walked away from the door with disdain: "People are always weighing the pros and cons, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, you see, if he hadn't heard the news that you were admitted to Tianjing Academy, he still wouldn't look at you, but once you entered Tianjing Academy, those who didn't have were found, and as soon as you said that you were in debt, he ran away again." Therefore, people should not be too sharp, just moderate amount. ”

He Qixuan smiled and said nothing, and the boss finally hesitated and added: "Why don't you make up for that kid in my family, and I'll give you an extra month's salary?" ”

After speaking, he blushed: "Actually, it's all like this, I'm the same as them, but I can see it a little." But that kid in my family is not angry, now you don't have to leave for more than two months, you can rest assured that my kid will give lessons, and a month is guaranteed to be twice as much as here, no, three times! ”

He asked tentatively, "What do you think?" If you can, you can go home and rest now, and I'll take care of it myself. ”

He Qixuan shook his head.

The boss was a little disappointed on his face, and He Qixuan smiled dumbly.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go, I definitely wanted to go." He Qixuan put the cash in the cash register, then looked at the boss and said, "But I still want to work the night shift here tonight." ”

The boss was ecstatic, and he was quite uncomfortable, and he was about to leave the grocery store, and He Qixuan was indeed relieved to look at this place at night.

"You kid, you have to endure hardships to become a master!"

He left a word and left.

He Qixuan still stood there silently, and after a long time saw that no one came, he found a stool to sit down.

Time: 8:00PM.

After time of exploration,The girl finally opened a new level,She's a little unsatisfied.,This level seems to be very difficult.,In fact, there are a few turning points.,Pixel monsters will arrive at the turning point at a fixed time.,The biggest feature of this level,It's a lot of pixel monsters.。

"Awesome!" The man gave a thumbs up, and then his tone was filled with pity, "I'll bring this level here." You know, they're very strict, why don't you play again? ”

The girl did not hesitate to reload the game, and this time the time she cleared the level was greatly shortened, and she was able to clear the level with a snap of her fingers.

The person in the monitoring room listened interestingly to the sound of the clearance animation: "The memory is very strong, this should be an accessory produced after the experiment." It's a good thing, but it's a pity that there is no ability to acquire without paying a corresponding price. ”

Thinking about it, it's almost time for those who are fishing to go back.

Two quarters of an hour, twenty-five minutes for the first time and three minutes for the second......

It's kind of interesting.

Gently stroking his chin, when he walked out, he happened to see a few people coming back, and casually stopped one of them and asked lightly, "What about the oldest guy?" ”

"Oh, you said Lao Mo, Lao Mo went downstairs to eat fish by himself, and he probably came back soon, right?" The youth replied.

He nodded, patted the young man on the back, and went his separate ways.

Walking through the corridor under the fluorescent lamp, he hesitated for a long time outside the innermost room, lit a cigarette, and left.

Soon after, the man in the white coat couldn't help frowning as soon as he walked out, he turned his head to look at the figure in the room, and admonished: "Don't play for too long, rest early." ”

He came to the smoking room by heart, and here, it was not covered by surveillance.

"One?" The voice came, close to my ear, and there was a hand with a quartz watch in front of me, and the box of cigarettes in my hand.

One of the cigarette cases was particularly prominent, he twisted the cigarette butt in one hand and blocked the wind with the other, took a puff with a slight chin and spit it out.

Coughed lightly twice.

The man on the side couldn't help laughing: "This smoke smells good, right?" ”

"Okay."

"So, what is your answer?" The man extinguished the cigarette and leaned against the window, where the lights of the city were widely seen.

"She's my sister." The man in the white coat smoked a third of the cigarette in one puff, and his eyes were bloodshot, making him look particularly hideous.

The man raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly: "But she is not related to you." ”

Man in white coat: "So what? I don't have your ambitions, I'm just such a sister, even if she was brought back from the orphanage. ”

"Okay." The man nodded, "If you agree, then you can't go back, this is an unequal contract, ask you again, you don't regret it." ”

"Well, don't talk nonsense, bring it to me." The man in the white coat looked a little impatient.

He doesn't like to talk to the people around him, this person is very deep, he doesn't want to fall into the quagmire, but he can't help himself.

"Righteous and awe-inspiring, not bad." The man gave a pertinent evaluation, and after the man in the white coat signed the calligraphy and painting, he changed his words: "But you are not enough." ”

"You!"

The man in the white coat was angry, and the smoke around him suddenly flowed and messy, and the man smoothed it with one hand and pressed it down gently, and the smoke instantly stopped.

"Don't worry, I just want you to do something, if it doesn't work out, she can go."

"Don't go too far!"

The man gently put his finger between his lips and then pointed to the sign attached to the smoke room: No noise during work.

"I can help you with your affairs, but you have to know how much your sister has in our interests, just with your contract, I can't really impress me, let alone the older generation."

The man in the white coat said in a deep voice: "Then you say so?" ”

"What to do? Hehe...... hands folded, the man's eyes closed, and there was tangible pleasure on his face, "you pray like this, that fate will patronize your poor sister." ”

After that, the man in the white coat turned around and slammed the door to leave, and the man lit a cigarette without hurry or slow.

Time: 9:00PM.

The door opened suddenly, and three men in white coats walked in, put their food aside, and left.

Before leaving, the girl could clearly hear the words of the man in the white coat, who had been her brother in the past, but this time, she was a little lost.

"Code:4c is in good shape, but it seems to be a little emotional...... Roger that. ”

The sound faded away, and the room fell silent again, unable to even breathe.

The girl was still curled up, feeling the delicate body under the thin clothes trembling, and her emotions began to spiral out of control, and the darkness around her turned a deep and visible blue, and then slowly turned purple.

Time: 9:32PM.

The door to the room was opened again, and the white-coated staff looked at the girl curled up at the foot of the bed, put away the food that had not been touched, and turned to leave.

Time: 9:50PM.

The room was fluorescent, and the girl felt a strong sleepiness attack, her eyes gradually blurred, and she fell into a deep sleep at the foot of the bed.

It didn't take long for the door to open, and the two personnel carried the sleeping girl into the flat carriage and quickly left the room, and after the room was closed, the fluorescence in the room turned into a deep blue light, accompanied by infrasound waves constantly reverberating in the room, sweeping every corner of the room.

After a long time, the room was quiet again, and the air composition did not change in any way, but it did make people feel refreshed.

"The number of snoops has been completed three times, the star resolution is 68% complete, the mediator damage is 13%, and the fourth snoop is carried out in five minutes."

The sound made the girl gradually wake up, and her eyes opened slightly, surrounded by bright green, and her limbs were inserted with countless thin tubes, and she was now soaked in a warehouse of liquid.

It was the first time she had seen this scene, and she used to wake up only after being carried out.

Able to breathe.

The girl even felt as if her body was desperately hungry for liquid, greedily trying to absorb all the substance inside.

There was no pain, her limbs were already numb, and she glanced at her with difficulty, and saw the man in the white coat looking at her, his eyes full of anger.

What is he hating......

The sound of dripping came into my mind, like a lullaby whispered in the ear by a nightmare, and when I heard it faintly, the scene in front of me seemed to spin in a whirlwind, upside down, twisted, and overlapping......

"Code:4C is conscious, ready to link to the second world, open the second world channel." The sound on the indoor monitoring station is continuous, and the progress is reported loudly.

Naturally, it came to the girl's ears, but she couldn't care about it anymore, she was very sleepy, very sleepy, and just wanted to sleep beautifully.

"The Second World Key is ready, ready for the Second World Docking!"

"The passage connection is complete!"

The old man in white, who was standing in the center and watching everything carefully, said, "Carry out the second world connection and prepare for the fourth snoop." ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Everything is ready, the keys are open...... Completed access to the passage! ”

"Initial snooping was successful! Snooping image is being generated! ”

On the big screen, a light suddenly appeared in the darkness, twisting and sinking, splitting, changing, and finally becoming straight, as if fixed by some invisible force.

Then, dozens of curved rays of light suddenly straighten at one point, it is no longer bent, it is no longer split, only a few parallel rays of light dance in the screen.

The straight line of light continues to magnify, it is an absolute straightness, and the pen will seem to be bent compared to anything in this world, but it, without the slightest distortion, shocks everyone present.

"This ...... This is the manifestation of rules? We've got a glimpse of the birth of the rules! Someone exclaimed, recounting the grotesque and unforgettable image.

The girl could not hear this monstrous cry of joy now, and she wandered through the fantastical scene, detached from her consciousness and body, and entered another time and space.

Suddenly, as if she heard something, the fantasy vanished, the world darkened, and drowsiness struck again, but this time, she no longer felt cold pain.

Warmth freezes the eternity of this moment.

The laboratory monitoring station sends out an alarm, and all on-screen signals are cut off in an instant.

What is the faintly audible sound of doubt?

They were as still as chilling as cicadas.

They...... It seems to have touched something that shouldn't be touched!

The man in the white coat watched this scene in amazement, folded his hands, closed his eyes and prayed.

The old man in white scolded angrily and turned to leave.

The man was still standing in the cigarette room smoking, and the ashtray in front of him was already full of cigarette butts, and the light flickered for a moment before returning to normal, and his cigarette was drained.

He muttered to himself, as if to say to someone, "Look, this is not the moment of fate. ”

He walked out of the smoke room, and the two oncoming people hurriedly greeted him after seeing him, and before he could say anything, the man's knife fell on the back of their necks.

After pulling them into the smoking room, they came out and saw two more people.

He frowned, his hand fell, and the two of them were pulled into the smoking room again.

He clapped his hands in satisfaction, walked out of the smoking room, and saw the two of them coming out from the corner......

Man: "......"

It's endless, isn't it?

The men didn't bother to clean up, one step at a time, fainting before they could react.

After doing all this, he looked at the corner monitor, scratched his head, and sighed sadly.

In the next moment, the monitoring screen goes black.

The monitoring room personnel made the phone in a panic, to no avail, the monitoring room phone had been destroyed when they were fishing, and a signal jammer was installed here, and they didn't even notice it for so long.

What does this mean? It shows that you are conscientious and do not touch fish and play with your mobile phone at work. Gotta process money. ”

The voice came from the door, and the two people who had gone out to ventilate and report had been carried back, and the man moved his muscles.

The monitoring room is silent.

Meanwhile.

The girl in the darkness felt as if her body was being picked up, the residual heat of her palms fainting from her back, and she opened her eyes in a daze, as if she saw her brother in a white coat looking ahead.

When he saw it clearly, it was the director of the orphanage who smiled.

"I'm awake."

The director of the orphanage touched her nose, causing her to close her eyes unconsciously.

"This is ......" the girl was in a trance.

The image is clear in front of your eyes.

The dean patiently explained: "You are always easy to forget, remember, this is Tianjing Tianxin Orphanage, and it is also your home, there are many brothers and sisters here, you see the one over there, the one who played football with you before, and the ......"

It's like a world away.

She remembered that the faces of those people were clear, and they were looking at her and smiling.

She also remembered her name.

Dawn.

The dean took the name because he met her on a starry night of a month.

It's a beautiful name, and she was complacent for a long time after that.

The dean's education level is not high, but she is very concerned about everyone, so she said that she chose the name, and she checked the past and the present, just to find a name that fits the person.

She always said that people are like their names, and their names are also a part of their lives.

But she also remembered the name of the dean.

Two girls.

When she asked the dean why she had chosen this name, she also prevaricated with the words as his name.

Is this a dream?

I returned to the place I had always dreamed of.

If it was a dream, she didn't want to wake up.

The dean looked at her, as if sensing that something was wrong with her, and squatted down and whispered comfortingly: "What's wrong Xingxi, what's uncomfortable?" Or is it a nightmare? ”

gently stroked her back, but this was originally a soothing action, but it made her teary-eyed.

The dean still whispered reassuringly.

Xingxi cried loudly, as if she wanted to tell all the sufferings she had suffered.

The dean's soft voice came into her ears: "It turns out that I am having a nightmare again." ”

She suddenly remembered that in her waking hours after always having memory lapses, she would always hear the dean laughing and saying that she was always easy to forget, forgetting those nightmares.

It turned out that what she forgot was indeed her cry of nightmares.

She stopped sobbing and cooked with everyone, because of the large amount of a pot, the outer circle of the rice was a little mushy, she liked to eat the mushy rice, and the crispy sound spread throughout the yard in one bite, a little bitter, but very fragrant.

She didn't want to wake up.

Her memory is far beyond that of ordinary people, and she has no more nightmares.

Sleeping, eating, playing...... Time passed slowly.

At that time, I don't know where.

Voices permeate the void.

"A dream bubble is a bubble after all, and there will always be a broken day when you wake up."

They watched the girl's every move with burning eyes, and the girl was no different from an ordinary person, but they felt another breath in her.

"I'll strike faster when the dream bubble bursts, so that she doesn't feel pain, and her last consciousness remains in the bubble," the luminous figure said. ”

Beside him, another figure appeared, the figure was impressively humanoid, and the facial features were more condensed, it could be seen that he was a graceful old man, he stroked his long beard and nodded and laughed softly: "Crane Daoyou, long time no see." ”
