Dream Guide

When Aoki returned to the studio, the orange cat was lying on the sofa.

Lifespan Flower said that it had just barely drank two spoons of honey water, and could not even drink beef soup.

The crow flew to his birdstand, lowered his head and said, "Do you really want to do this? Don't think about it anymore?"

Aoki looked at the dying orange cat and said, "It's too late."

Bishenghua didn't understand what they were saying, but she didn't pay much attention. This person and bird had always been so nervous, and she was used to it.

Aoki hypnotized the orange cat and then entered the cat's dream.

It was a rainy night, and the orange cat was lying next to the trash can. Not far away, a vague black figure wearing a raincoat was rummaging through the trash.

The cat is very weak, so the dream space looks very small, like a narrow glass cabin. Outside the cabin was hazy rain and dim light coming through.

Aoki stroked the cat with his spiritual power, helping him hold the space and allowing the cat to relax mentally.

At this time the crow also came in.

"I just came to take a look." Crow said.

Aoki said: "Help me hold on, don't let the space collapse."

Crow reluctantly did so, "Actually, I can go pick up Xue'er."

Aoki ignored the crow's request, skillfully opened the dream corridor and walked in. As soon as he thought about it, he was already in the desert. The white cat was lying in a pile of yellow sand, like a snow lotus blooming in the desert, showing her beauty, elegance and nobility even more.

Fortunately, the crow didn't come in to pick it up, otherwise the bird would have gone into the desert. Seeing such a scene, he would probably be so inspired by poetry that he would chant nonstop for a whole day and night in front of the cat in his dream. As for business, he must have forgotten about it, and he would not think of going home until he was hungry and thought of sauced elbows.

Aoki took Ruxue back to the orange cat's dream.

Two cats meet.

They look at me and I look at you.

Aoki guided the two consciousness bodies to communicate, and then let the white cat obtain the memory of the orange cat. This process is a bit long and even a bit cruel. Especially for the orange cat, even though there are three mentally powerful guys protecting it in front of it, it still has to keep retrieving its own memories, which is very mentally draining.

The figure of the orange cat gradually faded. It meowed weakly, its cry as sad as the rain at night.

The crow finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked over and wrapped his wings around the orange cat's body. The orange cat tilted its head and rubbed against the crow's feathers.

Then, its body faded and disappeared, leaving only a shadow in the dark night. Finally, even the shadow disappeared.

"This is yours now," the crow said to the white cat.

The white cat inherited the memory of the orange cat, but her consciousness did not change into that of the orange cat because of this. She glanced at Crow and turned her head away proudly.

The crow was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, he quickly retracted his wings that were still open, and explained: "Well... I didn't just... you know... I just... uh... it's dying, you should understand... "

The cat rolled her eyes at him, twisted her noble body twice, and began to wander in the dream space expanded by her strong mental power, as if she was familiar with a new environment.

Then, she meowed at Aoki.

Crow still wanted to try to get close to the white cat, but he heard Aoki say: "Okay, go out, your new body is very weak and needs to eat."

…

When Crow saw the limp and dying orange cat on the sofa coming to life again, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Um, should I call you Shen Ran or Xue'er from now on?" Crow asked.

The orange cat raised his head and thought about it, and seemed to think this was a problem. But she immediately lowered her head and slurped down the food prepared for her by Yishenghua.

Crow shook his head and said to Qingmu: "I can guarantee that she will become a fat woman in less than half a month."

Aoki smiled and said, "You said you loved her."

"I admit it," Crow said, "but that was in a dream."

…

Aoki followed Mei Ziqing to the top floor of the experimental building.

"This place is different from before."

Aoki remembered that he visited the entire building. The top floor used to be just a pile of ordinary debris, but now it not only has two layers of thick security doors, but also has security guards standing at the door. It also has stricter access control than the door downstairs. system.

"Yes, the professor moved the box development laboratory to the top floor, and the testing work on the game is also carried out here."

Mei Ziqing walked to the identity verification platform at the door and put her palm on it first. There was a beep sound and a stiff mechanical voice came: "Palm print verification passed."

She removed her palm and brought her face closer to be scanned. After a while, the mechanical voice sounded again: "Iris verification passed."

Then, the heavy door moved silently to both sides.

"This security measure is too troublesome!" Qingmu followed Mei Ziqing in, feeling a bit like there was no silver in this place. Doesn't this make it clear to others that the most confidential things in the building are hidden here?

Mei Ziqing smiled and said: "It is indeed a bit troublesome. When we develop the consciousness verification system, it will not be so troublesome."

"Consciousness verification?" Aoki asked, "How to verify consciousness?"

Mei Ziqing said: "The game "Dream Guide" has almost been developed. Once the test is successful, the characteristics of people's consciousness can be recorded and identified. Thank you for this! The professor said that the successful development of this game is thanks to three people. , you are one of them.”

"Thank me?"

"Yes! The professor wrote the beginning of "Genesis" in the game, specifically mentioning three people, and you are one of them."

"Genesis?"

"Well, "Genesis" is a book that tells the origin of the world. A game is a world, not to mention "Dream Guide" is a game in which the players themselves create the world. When the players initially enter the game, the world is chaotic and dark. The world must be created by the player's consciousness itself. The professor wrote the beginning of "Genesis" and specifically mentioned your name in it."

"How did he write about me? He didn't write me as God or Jesus, did he?"

"Then I don't know. You have to ask the professor."

"Besides me, who are the other two?"

"Cronus and Situ."

At this time, they had entered the core area of ​​the top-floor laboratory, where the professor was talking excitedly in front of a machine. Beside him stood two people, a man and a woman.

The man Aoki knew was the young man who played the game during the last Turing test. After the test, he was left to work in the laboratory by the professor. Aoki thought about it carefully and remembered that his name was Bian Ziyuan. Cronus is an intelligent program created by Bian Ziyuan in the game.

The woman's back was always facing the door. Aoki noticed it from the moment she entered. This figure seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
