After that, I returned to the guild in Atopia.

Surprised to find that Nirvana has come here,

"Nirvana, how did you get here?" I asked.

"Didn't you tell me the location before you went offline?" Nirvana said.

"I didn't expect you to actually come here."

Nirvana had already toured the interior of the guild.

He asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

I said, "According to the union leader's plan, this place was originally intended to be developed into a house of all things, but unfortunately it was not realized, so it has always been just a blank guild. I usually use it to rest, like a family. ”

"I see, how many people are here?"

"Two."

"Two?"

"Yes, a few years ago, this guild was founded by the guild leader alone. I joined the guild shortly after it was formed—I didn't know anything about it at the time, and it felt like the guild of two people was quite new—and I was made the vice president by the president as soon as I came in. We discussed the future of the guild for a while.

But soon after, the chairman withdrew from the network and never went online again, for some reason. I didn't have much focus on it, so my development plan fell through. I wanted to withdraw from the club, but because I was the vice president, I was restricted by the system from quitting.

"I had to recruit a member to pass on the position of vice-captain to him before I could quit. But I don't know how to manage, so I haven't recruited any new members. ”

Nirvana listened attentively.

I smiled awkwardly, "This is the story of this guild. ”

Nirvana also smiled: "Haha, I feel quite funny, at least it's quite easy." ”

That's when he caught a glimpse of the casing of my leftover blue cylindrical battery on the table.

"What kind of battery is this? Never seen before, the model number is ......"

He took it and pondered it in his hand.

"Why don't you have a model?"

I explained, "This is the president's own battery. He stored a lot in the guild before he retired from the net. It's quite powerful, charging faster and more than twice as powerful as batteries on the market. I don't know how he figured it out. ”

"What did you say?" Nirvana's face was astonished, "There is still such a thing?" ”

His eyes lit up suddenly, eagerly seeking more details, his hands swinging restlessly.

"Are you interested in it?" I asked.

"Yes, I want to ask, do you sell this kind of thing in the market? Or apply for a patent? ”

"No, you see he doesn't even have a market model, the developer is gone, and the production source is unknown, how can he sell it to the market?"

"So have you ever thought about commercializing them?"

"That's not it, I said I can't manage, how can it be commercialized? However, the chairman said that if I wanted to sell, he would be happy to teach me the method, but I didn't agree at the time. ”

Nirvana said eagerly, "I want to meet the President!" ”

I shook my head slightly: "But the president has withdrawn from the network, how can I find him?" ”

"The account should still be in the guild, I'll just look at the account!"

"Okay then."

I took him to the guild's security room, entered the password on the virtual keyboard of the account database, and turned on the projection of the account.

The president's account can be publicly displayed in front of us.

The nickname of the president's account is "Miraku".

Nirvana carefully examines every part of the account.

He opened the president's journal space.

"There's nothing there......" I was just about to warn him, when I suddenly saw a message inside.

"Hey, how can you ......," I was speechless, "why didn't you see it before?" ”

We were curious to click on this record left by this man.

It records some of the president's real-life experiences.

He was a soldier who had participated in the war, and after the war, he became a scientific researcher in the military department, so he developed something like the blue battery.

He specially introduced the scientific and technological research results he had done, and even left a lot of manufacturing blueprints - and specifically stated that he was troubled by real things and would not be able to go online again in the future, but if the invention left behind was discovered, it was allowed to be used commercially, after all, his original purpose of manufacturing was to benefit society - provided that it was in his name.

The last indication is the date, July 19, 2019.

The president went online once when I didn't know it!

"He's such a powerful person, impressive......" I couldn't help but say.

Nirvana lowered her head to the side, thought for a while, and then smiled a little in surprise and said to me, "Karlin, don't you think these are very powerful and promising things? If you sell it to the market, it is likely to have a big impact. ”

"You mean—you want all the inventions left by the president to be commercialized?"

"Yes, it seems to be a great business opportunity, and maybe it can be upgraded to a virtual company if it is done well."

"That's too much of an exaggeration......"

"Don't you think so?"

"No, I didn't plan to do business."

"Ahaha, then let me be joking." Nirvana smiled, "Can you lend me these products for research?" I'm interested. ”

His eyes were full of confidence and expectation.

"Yes, if you're interested, take it."

I agreed, took him into the warehouse, and took out a box of batteries.

He's going to borrow it for a short time and pay it back.

After we had enough rest, we drove to the location of Kikujiu's house.

……

We walked into the alley between two tall buildings.

Gradually, I felt that the atmosphere was getting strange.

When I came to Jujiu's house, Nirvana suddenly stopped me as I was about to enter the door.

"Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

I looked back at him in confusion and looked around again.

Nirvana closes its eyes and holds its breath.

The next second, he quickly opened the virtual data board and struck a button.

His body was suddenly enveloped in a layer of pink light, and his body changed into the appearance of a girl.

Pink hair reaches to the waist, bangs cover the eyes, blue eyes, and a yellow and blue hairpin on the right side of the head.

At the same time, a delicate set of green armor gradually appeared.

The armor is streamlined and densely scaled.

The helmet is decorated with an ornate musical note pattern, and the mask part features the head of a dinosaur.

Before I could react from the surprise, I was covered in a pink glow.

Nirvana holds a black guitar in her hand, her fingers plucking the metal strings hard.

The guitar suddenly resounded with a stirring melody.

An eerie aura came from our left.

We looked over and saw the silhouettes of two people slowly emerging from the air.

The outline changed from transparent to clear, so that I could see clearly - the two of them were Light Spirit and Chrysanthemum.

Jujiu is holding the light spirit hostage, and the light spirit can't move.

"What's going on?" I was surprised.

"And sure enough, it happened." Nirvana stared at Jujiu with contempt, and then turned her gaze to Light Spirit, "I told you a long time ago not to trust this kind of person!" ”

Light Spirit's whole body tensed.

Jujiu said disgustedly: "Bastard, it's a good thing to hurt me...... But I advise you not to move, he is now in my hands! ”

Nirvana and he stared calmly for a few seconds, then disarmed.

"That's right......" Kikujiu grinned.

Immediately after, Nirvana took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and pressed the button of the headset on his neck with his fingers.

His body was swirling with electric light, and he jumped in front of Qingling and Jujiu in an instant, and the thunder and lightning on his body threw it at the two of them, and their bodies were cut in two.

Before Jujiu could struggle, his body immediately became transparent, shattering like glass and disappearing without a trace.

The light spirit struggled, and the body became transparent, but instead of breaking and disappearing, it became a different appearance, and the damaged body recovered.

According to the rules, in Atopia, the death of a person is like this, and then the account will be entered into the system cancellation list - but if the user has multiple frequently used accounts, when using one of the accounts to die, it will instantly switch to another account, so as to avoid heavy damage to the user - this is the current situation of the light spirit.

The new appearance of the light spirit is a red-haired girl.

The hairstyle is a single ponytail on the side of a shawl with medium-long hair, red and green pupils, and she is dressed in an ordinary black dress and white dress.

I gazed in disbelief at the appearance of lightness and nirvana, and countless memories flashed through my mind.

The current appearance of the light spirit - it is clearly the long-lost Xi Dai!

And the appearance of Nirvana is Bondage and Independence!

My voice trembled, and I asked them in confusion, "...... you What's going on with you? ”

The light black face and the expression of anxiety.

Nirvana breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled at Qingling: "Long time no see, senior." ”

……

Now the three of us are walking together, and the atmosphere is very delicate.

Light Ling maintained his "new appearance" and disguised his face with the clothes given by Nirvana.

"You mean...... The light spirit is Xi Dai himself, and it is your senior...... "I asked Nirvana.

"That's right, wasn't it surprising that I told him that I used to be colleagues?" Nirvana said with a smile.

"It's more than surprise, I can't imagine it! Who would have thought that you used to work together as idols, or as popular idols yourself! Still...... Again, male...... There is a feeling of being cheated. ”

"I think it's normal, after all, it's a virtual space, and it's normal to have a sense of virtuality. Isn't that what Atopia is all about? ”

"It's me who is superficial......"

INTERVIEWER I deeply feel that my cognition is being reshaped.

"But if you're not rigorous, how can you assume my true gender?" Nirvana said.

"Huh? Aren't you male? I asked in surprise.

He playfully replied: "It may be a beautiful girl, or it may be an uncle, who knows?" ”

We turned our attention to lightness.

Light and spirited with a cloudy face the whole time.

"Actually, I don't want to tell you about doing this kind of work before, so I've been hiding it from you." He said.

"Light ......"

"Is it because of me?" Nirvana asked with a smile.

Light glared at him, consciously pulling away.

I remembered the time I had with Light Spirit, who had always been so mysterious and always had a lot to hide, but this time, I was sure that I could get closer to him.

Looking at me lightly, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, she sighed, nodded slightly, and personally confessed to me that she was Vivien.

"I'm sorry that your favorite idol is actually an ordinary person like me."

I was no longer speechless with the shock I had just had, although I was still surprised by the fact.

I shook my head and said, "It's okay, I feel very new now, isn't it good to know the true face of my idol?" ”

- If I have to say, I think it's a coincidence, in all senses.

"Let's go to a bar and talk, shall we?"

I made this suggestion, opened the map and pointed to the nearby "Star Dance Bar".

……

"I recommend that you go to someone and learn about this from him. He was a former work colleague of mine, named Carlos. Dr. Watanabe said.

"Does he have any information?" I asked.

"Yes, his avatar is a hawk-headed man, and he usually haunts the Star Dance Bar in the YH-20 area, and you will definitely find him if you go there."
