＊＊＊

Late night near dawn. The lights in the laboratories of the Core Research Association have not been turned off for a long time, only the sound of pages being turned from time to time. There are cumbersome paper files displayed on the experimental table in the center, and I arrange them in the order of my own thinking.

I touched the English words printed on the paper with my fingertips, and slid to the right until the full stop, and the screen in the lower right corner of the experimental table immediately displayed the results of the English translation.

"The experimental purpose of the project "Dream Immersive Virtual Reality" is top secret. Please explain to all the experimenters involved in this project that "this is an experiment that uses the nature of dreams to realize fully immersive virtual reality." Note: external demand Claiming in the same terms, that no circumstances shall reveal the actual purpose of the experiment."

I curled my short hair in front of my forehead and bit my lips unconsciously, as if the faint pain could make my thoughts more active, but I couldn't draw any useful conclusions, so I had to turn the page again.

It has been two weeks since the HNW (HELLO NEW WORLD) project started, and I have been admitted to the core research association since then. Because Feng Chenghuan speculates that the name of the Virgin will do something, it is suggested that all of us stay in the nuclear research headquarters for daily life to avoid unnecessary troubles outside.

Even so. Neither the Creator nor the name of the Virgin have made any action so far, and we know nothing about the external situation. However, I think Feng Chenghuan's vigilance is not overly nervous. Other forces must be planning something under the water just like the Core Research Association.

In other words, it's the calm before the storm.

Thinking of this, my heart became restless, my knees were fighting together, and my body became quite restless. Involuntarily restless. The text drifted erratically in the field of vision. One eye and ten lines, swallow dates whole. It was as if the words bounced back the moment the sight met the eyes, without any thought in the brain.

Realized that I couldn't see anything tonight. I finally gave up reluctantly, packed up the files on the table and put them back in my bag, got up and left the laboratory.

This feeling of knowing that the deadline is approaching, but I can only wait is like watching the sand I hold up fall between my fingers, which makes me very tormented.

I passed the stairs leading to the top floor with my file bag in my arms, and suddenly found a familiar figure lying by the window in a daze, so I couldn't help but stop.

Occasionally a gust of night wind blows outside the window. The girl in a plaid shirt smoothed her messy hair, put on her baseball cap again, held the window sill with both hands, raised her toes, and leaned back her upper body. I stared at her back in a daze for a moment, thinking whether to walk over, but the other party seemed to have noticed my gaze first, and looked back suspiciously.

"ANIKI? Why don't you sleep so late, your brain will become stupid if you stay up all night."

I instinctively wanted to refute Chen Xue's unfounded statement, but thinking that my mind has become more and more dull recently, is it really related to the sleep during this period?

"...Thank you for your concern, I just want to go to sleep."

This is not a polite statement, it is indeed my sincere words.

It's not that I don't want to sleep. How much I want to see my sister in my dream, even if I chat with her for a while, my mood will improve.

Moreover, after experiencing the incident of the Flower of Annihilation last time, the story of Sleeping Beauty seems to have come true for Su Huilin, and she began to have some signs of waking up. It is said that she woke up several times, but in reality someone interfered with it and maliciously prevented her from waking up from her dream.

I am very concerned about this matter, after all, it is related to Su Huilin's current whereabouts. Meeting her in a dream is the only source of clues.

However, the state of suspected insomnia lingers. I don’t know whether it’s the half a year spent in the dream prison (although only 2 days have passed in reality), or the pressure of the approaching deadline. What a waste of time, that's why I stayed up so late in the lab these days.

"What about you?" I didn't want to dwell on me too much, so I walked up to Chen Xue and asked her, "Why don't you sleep at night?"

"Well... there are so many things on my mind, I can't sleep."

Chen Xue smiled wryly and looked away. The playful night wind blows away the messy hair that covers her side face, revealing her eyes looking forward.

"What! You can't sleep?"

"Huh? Aniki, do you think I'm a heartless idiot!"

"It's not that stupid. It's a bit heartless."

To say he is a fool, it is better to say that Chen Xue is much smarter than ordinary people. Whether it is making suggestions or observing words, it can show that Chen Xue is not as confused as usual. On the contrary, she pretended not to know anything just because she knew a lot of things, which might make it easier for herself or others.

"ANIKI's words are really hurtful! You should comfort the girl at this time." Chen Xue angrily took out the lollipop in his pocket, tore off the plastic and stuffed it into his mouth, then took out another lollipop and stuffed it into the mouth With my hands in my mouth, I mumbled, "I also heard that you and Sister Xia succeeded in proposing marriage, but it won't be easy to coax Mrs. Su after this."

I was choked by Chen Xue and my face was flushed. Fortunately, I didn't drink water at this time, otherwise I would have spilled it all over the floor.

This is a valuable experience left over from my last discussion with my father.

"What? I don't appreciate you, I just said that to make you happy."

"...That's it, then I misunderstood ANIKI!" During the conversation, Chen Xue's expression quickly changed from surprise to joy, and he said, "Thank you ANIKI for your clumsy concern~"

Although I don't know where I am clumsy, but one thing I said is that Chen Xue is really easy to coax, and he becomes happy so easily.

When I reacted, I found that I was affected by her contagious smile, and I couldn't help pulling the corners of my mouth.

Chen Xue leaned against the window, looking at the sky that had not yet dawned with bright eyes. He glanced back and showed a playful smile, as if inviting me to join him. I didn't refuse, and followed her example, went to the window to enjoy the night.

The voices of people on Rong Tan Street that had been incessant until late at night showed signs of dissipating, and gradually became silent. The shops turned off their lights one after another, returning the remaining night to the night sky.

So unknowingly, the sky was burning red like a flame, passing through the long night.

"How many more times will we see the dawn break?"

"What?"

As the protagonist of the night, the moonlight is overwhelmed by the uninvited guest of dawn and melts into the blue color.

"Reality is like a dream. After moving to the new world, will I remember the past that happened here, or will I forget all the memories and start over?"

As the sky is illuminated by a reborn sunrise, we witness another day passing by and another morning dawning.

When he was melancholy, Chen Xue suddenly looked towards me expectantly, with two little hands on his chest ready to move. There were stars in her eyes, as if an interesting idea occurred to her in a flash.

"Hey ANIKI, let me read you a poem!"

"You...can write poetry?"

I couldn't help putting on a blatant look of suspicion, and raised my eyebrows to look at Chen Xue, but her expectant expression didn't look like she was messing around.

"I didn't write it!" Chen Xue put aside the misunderstanding and said with bright eyes, "If ANIKI likes it, then remember this poem, and you will never forget it for the rest of your life!"

As he spoke, Chen Xue had put his hands behind his back and moved closer to me. I instinctively raised my palm and took a step back to keep a distance from her.

"What if I don't like it?"

"Impossible, you will definitely like it!!"

"...Are you so overbearing?"

Although I didn't appear to be very interested, to be honest, I was really curious about what kind of poems a girl like Chen Xue would like.

Modern poetry or ancient poetry, wouldn't it be chicken soup for the soul on the Internet? Either way it would be fun for her to pronounce, but it doesn't seem like her style. Thinking of this, I simply stopped refusing, and nodded to her gently, signaling that she could start anytime.

Chen Xue closed his eyes with a smile on his face, puffed out his chest and took a deep breath, as if he was regulating his emotions.

So she was silent. Quietly clasped hands together, as if in prayer.

I don't know how long it has passed. She is like a still oil painting, quiet and mysterious, only a faint breath can be heard. In this way, when I finally couldn't help but want to speak, the gentle sunlight in the morning suddenly slanted.

A light and clear voice hits my ears——

Advise you not to cherish the golden thread clothes,

Advise you to cherish your youth;

Blossoms can be folded straight to be folded,

Don't wait for no flowers to break branches.

After the poem, let the sound go.

The strange girl slowly opened her bright eyes, and the corners of her mouth were slightly drawn.

Everything seemed to lose its sound for an instant, but the silence didn't last long before disappearing without a trace.

Chen Xue put down his praying hands, smiled as usual, and raised his expectant eyes.

"How is it! Has ANIKI been moved by my true feelings?"

"Yeah. If you don't say that."

I have to say that for a moment I seemed to be immersed in a poetic world following the girl's brisk voice.

It's just that this hard-won artistic conception was driven away by Chen Xue himself.

"Hey! What a pity! It was almost...! Hmph!"

Chen Xue crossed his arms in displeasure, and bit the lollipop angrily. I don't know what kind of anger she is angry with, maybe she is angry with herself?

"However, I like it very much." The air seemed to be a lot cleaner, I let go of the heavy breath in my chest, and said, "Especially at this time, I like it very much."

In the time when I knew that the deadline was approaching but I could only wait, I only focused on chasing the distant future, suffered from inner impatience, and completely forgot about the people and affairs around me.

But the dawn also rises today as usual. I am still alive today.

Why did I forget it? The reality of living in the present until tomorrow, when the deadline approaches.

"From now on, you will never forget it~"

I don't know whether she is talking about this poem or this wonderful mood. I could only smile and nod in agreement, but I felt more and more in my heart that what Chen Xue did today was not a whim. She might be pretending not to know anything again, and use her unique way to make herself and others feel more relaxed.

"While fighting for the future, should we also cherish the present time?"

Compared with my father who is obsessed with guarding the present, I may be more able to grasp the time in the future. But what I lacked were his eyes that could appreciate the present. So, when I found that our future was covered with a white mist and I couldn't see the direction, I completely forgot the present around me, and fell into endless anxiety and worry.

Wake up but still drunk. Fortunately, someone has now awakened me who ignores the present.

"I'll just accept your kindness. Your poem today will never be forgotten in my life."

I spoke out my inner thoughts like talking to myself. Chen Xue tilted his head to look at me, suddenly smiled but was speechless, his warm eyes turned to the dawn sky.

Sometimes it doesn't need to be said, it seems to be unintentional but not unintentional. Knowing each other well like this, it really makes people feel more relaxed.

However, the moment the body relaxed, sleepiness struck. The brain was dangling and confused, it was as if the nerves that sensed fatigue had suddenly recovered, and the consciousness that had been awake for several days was finally able to accept the strong sleepiness, wishing to fall down and sleep immediately.

"Aniki, don't you want to go to sleep?" Chen Xue turned his back to the window and said to me, "A new day is about to begin, it would be too wasteful to greet the morning with dark circles."

"...I'm going to sleep this time without you telling me."

I turned around and waved goodbye to Chen Xue, and walked downstairs with a yawn.

On the way back to the room, the poem I didn't know the title just now kept echoing in my sleepy mind. But the exact content is ambiguous in memory, and I can't remember the individual words used in it. I tried my best to recall it for a long time, and the memory was processed through thinking, and I inadvertently added my own personal emotions.

In the end, there was a very obvious difference between the verse I recalled and the version I heard——

I advise you not to cherish the distant stars that are beyond reach.

I advise you to cherish the time when it is still reversible.

The world is not afraid of short-sightedness,

Lest there will never be a clear dream.

—Although it is completely unrecognizable, it is unexpectedly commensurate with our situation. Let me keep that in mind for now.

The time was pushed to that night. In the last meeting room.

"The experimental project "HELLO NEW WORLD", numbered P-424242, has gone through a 14-day preparation period so far. We have clarified the basic course of action of the combat plan, which is generally divided into three steps: the first step is to inform the outside world that we have awakened Xia Qian Yan’s method; the second step is to plan a fake doomsday and move to the new world; the third step is to carry out…”

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu deliberately cleared his throat, raised his hand and interrupted Feng Chenghuan's speech in a high-profile manner.

"I said, Mr. Feng... Isn't 14 days just two weeks? And you don't need to read the project number in a bureaucratic manner, right?" Lin Yu twitched his eyebrows as if he couldn't bear it, and almost knit them together Turned into a horoscope, he shouted at Feng Chenghuan, "The world is coming to an end in 2019! Please don't engage in these face-saving projects and go straight to the theme line?"

"How is this a face project? It is our consistent habit to report the progress of the project before each meeting."

"So this is a face project!"

Lin Yu clenched his fists a little frantically, and said through gritted teeth.

In the meetings of the past few days, Feng Chenghuan did repeat almost the same words every time, and then turned to the topic of the day. Not to mention Lin Yu, my ears are calloused.

Feng Chenghuan kept scratching the skin of his neck. Seeing that everyone else was acquiescing to this, he had no choice but to skip the reporting link as Lin Yu said, and cut to the point extremely bluntly.

"...The current question is, how should we complete the second step of the operation?"

"You mean, how do I convince people in the world to give up reality and live in my dream?"

Speaking of which, this is what I was thinking about from the very beginning. This is not only a problem at the level of action, but also a matter of ideological differences between different worldviews.

We can choose to give up the idea of ​​resettlement, but it is impossible for everyone in the world to have the same idea as us. What's more, this is no longer the point of living on another planet. What is subverting is the dream and reality of human beings, which means that cause and effect are reversed.

"Isn't nuclear research cooperating with the governments of all countries? Use your influence to tell the world, and everything will be fine."

Just as he was thinking about it, Chart suddenly casually leaned back in his chair and casually mentioned a solution that seemed feasible.

"Just like the typhoon and rainstorm warnings, you notified the relevant departments to broadcast the doomsday warnings on the Internet, TV, radio and other media. Isn't this matter settled?"

"Well, it's over. But it's not about this, it's about us."

"Why do I feel that you are talking ironically and scolding me?"

"Because I'm calling you an idiot!" Lin Yu couldn't help roaring, "You really think it's as simple as going home on a typhoon and rainy day? How could it be possible for you to blow the loudspeaker all over the world and shout "Hey, hello?" This world is going to stop, you quickly take refuge in Su Moumou’s dreamland, everyone will obediently believe what you say and do as you say? The whole world is as stupid as you!”

"You curse again!"

"Yoho? I've never heard such a cheap request!"

"I don't know what you're talking about but it's super hot?"

Seeing that Lin Yu and Chart wanted to quarrel again, Watanabe Feng seemed to know that even if he stopped this time, he would not be able to stop the next time, so he hid his face in despair and fell into deep thought. Feng Chenghuan and I looked at each other, walked to the window in the face of the noise and gave them the stage tacitly, thinking that it was fortunate that the black cat and Chen Xue were not called to play a duet with them.

Let's get back to business.

"Simply put, we need to engage all of the world, including multidimensional realities, without causing panic to the world and the attention of the outside world and the Creator."

Although Feng Chenghuan has a strong desire to explain it simply to me, he has to say that no matter how simplified such a complicated condition is, it will only be so complicated that it will be dizzying.

It's not because of the terminology, but because this condition sounds absurd and illogical. It can neither arouse the panic of the world, but also avoid the eyes and ears of the outside world and the Creator. The target is still such a huge group all over the world. How can there be such a best-of-three solution?

I bowed my head in thought, and put my palms across my bangs to my forehead. It can't be said that there is no such thing at all. Thinking about it carefully, there is even a ready-made plan in front of me. Because I have personally seen such a project that is similar to our conditions and is also related to the fate of the world——

The outside world's "dream immersive VR Project" is a deceitful announcement to the public that "this is an experiment that uses the nature of dreams to realize fully immersive virtual reality."

In the past few days, I have been studying the archives my father gave me, but I didn't expect it to play an unexpected role at this time.

"The vast majority of parallel real worlds are almost the same as ours. Can this be confirmed?"

Feng Chenghuan's eyes settled on me, and after a long pause, he suddenly revealed that iconic ferocious smile. At first glance, it seems a little intrusive in the night when the night falls, just like when someone walks towards you with a vicious smile on the street after returning home late, you will definitely feel terrified or even turn your head and run away.

The key is that Feng Chenghuan is not malicious. After this period of contact, I found that no matter when Feng Chenghuan smiled, he always had this fierce look.

In other words, his ferocious smile was due to facial nerve paralysis.

"No, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

"You finally stopped acting impulsively, and learned to confirm whether what you know is correct." Feng Chenghuan said, "I hope you will always remember that verification is the most important step. Although I don't like your father's step-by-step approach, it is difficult to move every step personality, but it’s not a bad thing to be more rigorous, just don’t be too conservative like your father.”

For some reason, I always feel that Feng Chenghuan deliberately trains me to be his assistant. However, this idea should be just my illusion. There are so many people who want to be his assistants that they can line up to the gate of the nuclear research headquarters from here, how could it be my turn? He has no reason to pick a layman like me.

"So, is that what I think it is?"

"Sorry. Please keep me away from other topics for a while. Your statement is not 100% accurate, but it can indeed be said that most of the real world is almost the same. In fact, we call this phenomenon that the various world layers behave very similarly. It is "return to the past".

"Regression of the past? Do you mean the phenomenon of returning to the past?"

It seems that what I said is tantamount to saying nothing. But I didn't want Feng Chenghuan to feel that I was out of the situation and said such inexplicable remarks almost instinctively.

"It's the world of the world. We've studied this phenomenon for a long time, but I didn't understand why it happened until I realized that our world came from the calculations of hundreds of supercomputers."

Feng Chenghuan skillfully pressed the button on the window edge, and the curtains were automatically drawn to form a blank area for projection. He steered the projector towards the window, and immediately cast a horizontal line of light across the curtains. Immediately afterwards, he leaned sideways and pressed the palm of his hand, and spread the light vertically, and the projection immediately scattered hundreds of the same light rays to mark the world layer.

"The concept of the world layer comes from our early exploration of parallel worlds, but now we know that its essence is the result of the analysis of the spiritual world of the creator of the computer connected to the world—that is, the dreamer of reality and dream—spiritual world. Because The world she lived in in the past is like our current world, so the scattered spiritual worlds are similar to it."

As soon as the words fell, 90% of the light in front of the curtain was marked in blue.

"To put it more directly, you can't imagine things you have never seen. If you grew up by the sea and have no contact with the information of the outside world, then let me tell you that you can never imagine what it is like. All "Creative imagination" comes from things you've seen before, and you borrow them to create new images."

"It means... When Xia Qianyan created the world, she would give priority to drawing on the world she lived in. The computer that calculates the birth, development and end of the calculation world also gives priority to restoring the world it recognizes. The two jointly promote multi-dimensional The evolution of the world, is this why the layers of the world are similar?"

"Exactly. We live in the world as the outside world is. But human beings combine what they have seen to create new things, in different quantities and structures to make these creative imaginations seem smaller than they are. It's completely different. The magic land, the martial arts world, the fairy world...these fantasy worlds came into being."

The light remaining in front of the screen is marked red. The blue light is regularly arranged in the upper layer, and the red light appears from the middle to the bottom at intervals.

"Correction. Our world is reproduced by the creator's will, rather than computers calculating our world with their own information. More precisely, the dream immersive VR project connects a person to a computer because it needs This person acts as a guide, causing the computer to construct the world in the direction desired by humans outside.”

I was stunned by Feng Chenghuan's bland correction. Obviously, I have repeatedly studied the files my father gave me in the past few days, so I should be very familiar with these designs. But it seems that I still lack the acumen of a scholar, unlike Feng Chenghuan who can accurately memorize the key points of the project, I should say that I am fortunate to have chosen to cooperate with them, right?

"Thank you, I understand..."

"Let's continue. The superficial spirit of the Creator tends to reproduce her original world and form a world similar to the outside world; the deep downward spirit reconstructs the existing world to form a world with strong differences. Ordinary life The world seen by the middle five senses floats on the surface, but the world recognized from fictional imagination, such as stories, will dive into the depths.”

I fixed my eyes on the red thread on the bottom layer of the curtain, and inadvertently thought of the magical world of Elus.

For our world, her world is an existence that is regarded as a different world, which is often reflected only in movies, games, novels, animations and other carriers. And this is because the world Xia Qianyan lives in is also the same.

Through such carriers, Xia Qianyan subtly implanted the magical world that exists in fantasy into her brain, transforming it into a deep spiritual understanding, and the world was born from this.

So, this leads me to additional doubts about this.

"Can I verify the answer to one more thing with you? It is a question that has remained in my guessing stage and has not received a definite answer."

"Excuse me." Feng Chenghuan raised the side of his palm, motioning for me and said, "I know everything."

This is a question that has plagued me since the beginning of my story.

"The reason why two people who sleep together in the same bed will enter each other's dreams is because the impression of each other is imprinted in the mind before going to bed, and then transformed into the deep subconscious mind?"

I don't know why Feng Chenghuan's expression was shaken after hearing these words, as if his eyes, which were always emotionally indifferent, made waves.

"...What's wrong?"

"It's okay. It's just that this is the subject of my initial research on dreams." The wave in Feng Chenghuan's eyes gradually took shape as he spoke. It turned out to be a feeling called nostalgia. "When the final experiment plan was in progress. , I suddenly heard the question about the original experiment, which made me feel back to the starting point, and it must have aroused my emotions a little bit.”

"Is this the sensibility of a scientist?"

When Feng Chenghuan heard the words, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, which was the first time in my memory that he showed a normal smile.

"It's not that profound, it's just my pure emotion." After he finished speaking, he put away his smile, quickly cleaned up his emotions with his unique advantage, and immediately returned to the topic, "It's not so much an impression engraved in my mind, it's better to say It is an idea implanted in the subconscious. Dreams are the world determined by imagination and recognition, and it is the sense of identity of co-sleeping that opens the door to each other’s world.”

Imagination + acknowledgment = sense of identity. And this sense of identity over time forms a spiritual bridge called the emotional bridge, creating a feeling of spiritual connection. We thus enter each other's worlds through this bridge. Sometimes people dream about each other inadvertently, maybe that's the reason?

I suddenly seemed to go back to the beginning of the dream, recalling the girl's bedroom, the princess bed that exchanged each other's dreams.

I want to stay with a young girl with green hair to share the bed with me, take the boy to the predestined place, and quietly start the final story of our billions of years of precipitation.

Even though the girl's dreams are filled with her nightmares, where there are lingering shadows of her childhood and reincarnation memories that the world has forgotten, she still keeps moving forward. Because even if our way out is the road of no return, she has already decided not to look back.

She woke up from a dream halfway, unable to fall asleep, she recalled the past, and observed the boy's peaceful sleeping face for a long time. The boy accidentally touched her scar, and the itch caused by it uncovered the dusty memory. Suddenly, she showed a slightly sad smile, her expression was as gentle as the blue sea in her eyes.

The hearts of the two were in an instant, as if they were closely linked and turned into a magpie bridge. Inexplicable emotions welled up in my eyes, and I recovered from the trance with tears.

——This is our last key to the ending.

"I may be able to confirm our second battle plan."
