Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

"Regarding the experiment of "Holy Child Wisdom", we have successfully detected the search signal from the outside world. Do you know what this means?"

On the evening of February 31, 2019. The meeting room of the Nuclear Research Headquarters.

Feng Chenghuan sat on the short side of the conference table as usual, and cast his sharp eyes on me when he said this. I looked at each other for half a second, my heart trembled, and I couldn't help but look back at Xia Yinci beside me.

Today, Xia Yinci took off her hospital gown, a pink plaid scarf wrapped around a black cashmere coat and soft blue silk. The button was not fastened, and it opened to reveal the familiar red short sleeve. Pleated skirts below the knee were paired with tight stockings. It is not only like Xia Yinci who had both vitality and arrogance half a year ago, but also has the iceberg temperament of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

"It means we can finally communicate with the outside world, right?"

Xia Yinci responded softly to Feng Chenghuan's question knowingly. Feng Chenghuan didn't speak, but just clenched his fingers together and placed them in front of his chin to cover his mouth and nose.

Two months ago, because the growth progress of the Holy Infant was slow, and it was still unable to connect with the outside world normally, Tea Mao handed it over to Nuclear Research Institute for analysis and research, and now it finally has a clear result. So now we need to look back and face the first step of our battle plan: informing the outside world that we have a way to awaken Xia Qianyan.

"Let me negotiate with Su Ruoyang from the outside world, okay?" After a long silence, Xia Yinci suddenly made a suggestion, "Among us, I am the only one who is directly related to Xia Qianyan. I have learned from her for hundreds of millions of years. She and I are of one mind. I am responsible for conveying information to the outside world—from Su Luoyang’s point of view, the credibility of the information can become a little higher, right?”

After speaking, Xia Yinci's eyes settled on the tea cat. Negotiating with the outside world was originally the task of Tea Mao. After all, she was the one who brought the Holy Infant, so she should naturally ask for her consent to make such a temporary suggestion.

"Hey..." The tea cat slowly raised its lazy eyes, and the black mole at the corner of the eye smiled, "I happen to be not good at negotiating with people, so I will leave it to you. I will treat it as my relationship with you." Let’s end the origin, shall we?”

The tea cat seemed to be talking about Xia Yinci's thoughts, which made her tremble all over, and then slowly spread a grateful smile.

In this way, the handover of tasks was unexpectedly completed smoothly. Feng Chenghuan immediately led Xia Yinci and me to the experimental center of the Nuclear Research Headquarters. Many experimenters are busy around the central console. The current state of the Holy Child is displayed on the screen, and the values ​​arranged next to the simulated image of the Holy Child are constantly fluctuating.

When Xia Yinci and I approached the console, those values ​​suddenly and neatly changed to an abnormal range, and the color of the mark quickly flashed from green to red.

"Professor Huan! The 32nd time to capture a signal from the outside world! Do you want to respond?"

One of the experimenters hurriedly turned around and reported the sudden situation to Feng Chenghuan. Feng Chenghuan heard the words and hurried to the front to operate the keyboard, and the screen popped up a window that seemed to be a confirmation operation. He looked sideways at Xia Yinci, and beckoned her to come up. Xia Yinci immediately walked to Feng Chenghuan's side and performed the next operation on his behalf.

In the end, the deadline for RESET is approaching, and this is related to whether Xia Qianyan can return to reality. During this period of time, the outsider is definitely trying his best to contact Xia Qianyan.

[The operation of "Access Signal" has been confirmed. The full device is loaded. is being processed with the highest priority. Priority is set to select the most suitable channel. 】

[Confirming the status of the holy baby. Confirmation completed: conditions permit. 】

[Trying to connect with the signal. Successful docking: The signal that meets the conditions has been matched. 】

As the loudspeaker emits rapid electronic noise, the display screen quickly cuts into the interface of the communication panel, displaying a sound wave image.

[Hi, long time no see. 】

【What are you doing? 】

"..."

【Do you want me to guess your thoughts again? But you know I'm not by your side, so I can't guess what's in your heart.

[Xia Qianyan, do you understand? 】

"..."

[The computer will be shut down permanently in half a month, and the time corresponding to your side is about a month. 】

[You may be curious - how can you get such a conversion result when 1 second of mine is 365 days of yours. In fact, I'm worried that you misunderstood. There is something I haven't told you. 】

[In order to communicate with you, we must synchronize the flow of time between the two parties, so the Nuclear Research Institute has decided to slow down the flow of your world time during this final period, but we definitely do not mean to shorten the time you think about and force you to make a decision, At least I don't have such an idea. 】

[However, thank you for still being willing to receive my signal. 】

"..."

[Xia Qianyan? 】

"...Sorry, Xia Qianyan is not here."

"This is Xia Yinci."

【…】

【Is she not there? 】

"Not here."

"I understand that you want to contact Xia Qianyan more than anyone else to make her change her mind, but the truth is: it is impossible for her to respond to your contact."

【…】

"If there is nothing else, I'll hang up first."

【Wait, Xia Yinci...】

[Can you tell me what Xia Qianyan has been doing during this time? I mean... I know she doesn't accept my contact, but does she have any intention of changing her mind? 】

"I have no idea."

"I was split from her personality, possessing the 'imprint' of the memory of the world, so I have no way of knowing her mind."

【Is that so? 】

"However, I may know a way to wake her up."

[? ! 】

[... Can you talk to me about this matter in detail? 】

"..."

[Are you unwilling? 】

"No, Su Luoyang, I'm willing to tell you. But before that, I want to confirm with you again—are you on Xia Qianyan's side, or the project of "Dream Immersive VR"."

【…】

【do you know? From the beginning, I objected to Xia Qianyan accepting the experimental invitation of "Dream Immersive VR". 】

[If it wasn’t for the terrorist attack that injured her entire brain, and only nuclear research’s medical technology is expected to heal her injuries, I would never hand her over to the Core Research Association. 】

[So, can you understand? 】

"Since that's the case, it's easy to say what follows."

"We—— Xia Qianyan and I, as well as all the personalities extended from her, hope that you can discuss with Nuclear Research to delay the closure of RESET."

"According to the time conversion relationship between the outside world and the inside world, even if you give us an extra month, it's only half a month, right?"

[I don't understand, why do you want to do this? 】

"For hundreds of millions of years, Xia Qianyan has been waiting for something to come. Do you think it is the end or redemption?"

【I have no idea. 】

"No, you know. What she is waiting for is your redemption, Su Luoyang."

"One day, maybe the day when you come to her in a dangerous abyss, she will hold your hand and wake up because of your redemption."

【Do you mean, let me believe in myself that exists in your world? 】

【... Believe that Su Ruoyang over there can wake up Xia Qianyan? 】

"I won't say that. I just want you to believe what you believe at the end of the day."

"If this is the last way out, can you trust yourself? Or if you don't have relevant memories, even yourself is not worthy of trust?"

[I don't know if memory is the foundation of a person's existence. What if the self who lost his memory can no longer be defined as himself? 】

"It depends on the rules you defined, right? In my opinion, memory is not the reason for "a person is himself and not someone else". If I lose my memory, I am no longer me, so human beings are too fragile, right?"

【Then can you tell me what makes a person different from others? 】

"Su Luoyang, do you believe in the spirit of blood inheritance? Human beings extend their short lives in this way, passing on themselves to the next generation as if they have obtained immortality. I believe that the life passed on in this way is the self of the deceased. So the basis for you to truly distinguish yourself from others is the whole of your existence, right?"

"I don't care if you have the memory here or not, what I believe in is not your memory, but the existence of Su Luoyang."

【…】

[However, nuclear research will not listen to my opinion. Even if the "Dream Immersive VR" system is operated for an extra minute, it will consume huge operating costs. 】

"Compared to the cost of operating for one minute more, isn't the result of more than ten years of hard work in nuclear research not worth mentioning?"

"Obviously we only need to wait for one more minute, and things may turn around! Is the Nuclear Research Institute willing to give up such a hard-won opportunity and let their achievements go to waste?"

【…】

[I have one thing to explain to you in advance - all I can do is to try my best to help you delay time. 】

As soon as the voice fell, the air was suddenly silent for a few seconds, only the faint sound of electric current passing by the ears. The huge experimental center suddenly fell into silent joy, as if months of hard work had finally paid off. Xia Yinci and I looked at each other at the same time, and couldn't help but smile. Xia Yinci's little hand reached out to my palm habitually, interlocking my fingers.

[Hey, Xia Yinci, can I pin my hopes on you? 】

The sound waves spread upwards and downwards, and returned to linearity with strong unease. Xia Yinci put away her smile and stared at the screen for a short while, but soon the iconic arrogance appeared in her eyes.

"Please don't underestimate the universe you created!"

"We are existences that will disappear into the barrenness when you unplug the power supply. We are existences smaller than ants. But that's why. A drop in the ocean in your eyes is the whole universe to us. The destruction of this world is to both of us, itself The meaning is different. What you pay is financial resources, and what you save is your decades of hard work; but what we give is our all, and what you save are lives that are about to disappear.”

From the very beginning, the price of sacrifice was unequal on both sides. This in itself is an unfair war. Therefore, we can only win the final victory if we avoid confrontation with them and make use of each other.

"It is impossible for you in the outside world to have the consciousness to save this world, but to save the results of your own research. Because we have been standing in a different dimension from yours, you can't save it all. Only we can do what you can't What happened, only we can save ourselves.”

"If we don't choose to cooperate, then we will lose what we each want to save. So we can only make our own last efforts to move towards the future that we each continue."

Xia Yinci always had a smile on her face when she spoke, but the weight of her words was surprisingly heavy. I once said that even if we are insignificant bedbugs, when we are cornered, we will struggle to scare humans away. The other party, who was unable to speak for a long time due to trembling, probably felt the determination of the bedbug to risk his life.

[Actually, I have never figured it out. 】

After a long time, the sound wave spread again.

【Obviously there is no chance to start over after this "RESET", and you have no absolute chance of winning. Why did you tell me such a risky battle plan so easily a year ago, as if you had the chance to win. Now I may have found the answer. You seem to have the chance to win, but you are actually giving it a go. 】

Xia Yinci stared at the subdued sound waves, and suddenly smiled. In this way, the first step of our combat plan was finally successfully completed.

But we do. The next month is the last moment——

The morning of March 25, 2019. The meeting room of the Nuclear Research Headquarters.

"Experimental project HELLO NEW WORLD, number P-424242, there is still one week before the deadline for the experimental project."

Today, as always, Feng Chenghuan took the trouble to repeat the similar opening remarks. However, this time even Lin Yu didn't interrupt the report meeting.

After all, this is the last meeting.

"The basic course of action of the combat plan is generally divided into three steps:

"The first step is to inform the outside world that we have a way to awaken the Creator. This is the prerequisite for the implementation of the plan, which has been conveyed to the outside world by Xia Yinci and the tea cat through the Holy Infant, and it has been successfully completed;

"The second step is to lead the world to relocate to the new world. This is the key to the entire battle, and most of our time, manpower and financial resources are spent preparing for this;

"The third step is to awaken the Creator and at the same time save the people who failed to move to the new world in the second step. This is the last condition for victory, and we decided to entrust Su Luoyang with this final task."

Speaking of this, Feng Chenghuan paused for a moment, and his meaningful eyes glanced at everyone present. He let out a slightly heavy breath, as if he was about to complete the greatest mission in his life.

"Today's meeting is a final progress report on the second step of the combat plan. Before we start, I would like to thank you all for your hard work over the past few months." Feng Chenghuan bowed slightly to us as he said, simply After expressing his gratitude, he raised his hand to signal to Chart, "The progress report will start with Chart Andres on my left."

Hearing this, Chart stood up from the swivel chair, and habitually straightened the hem of his clothes. He looked around at everyone, his eyes shadowed by his lowered deerstalker hat.

"There is nothing to say about the situation here. As of today, the DEMO version of the game "Dream Ruler" has been released for 20 days. As one of the designers of this game, I actually don't have much experience in game design. The experience of the dream, and the desire to find something to do, must have taken up such a position.”

"I said, you don't need to continue with emotion?" Lin Yu frowned and looked in the direction of Chart, and said with a little helplessness, "It's not the end yet, I don't need you to express so much Affection."

This time, Chalt unexpectedly did not quarrel with Lin Yu, but narrowed his eyes a little, speaking in the same flat tone as before.

"Lin Yu, for Baitu Meiyi's sake, please shut up and listen to me this time."

Hearing Baitu Mei's name, Lin Yu's whole body's movements became unnatural. He lowered his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair, as if he wanted to sink his whole body into the chair.

"A long time ago, my long-winded dad said that I was stuck in the past, hoping that I could move forward to the present and the future."

Memories go back to the distant desolate star. The boy held his father's trembling hand, and the cigarette was lit in response. The rising smoke column extended to the boy's future.

"So I put all of myself into the war of domination, only to find out that it was a lie from the gods from beginning to end, and even the madman of the dream was a puppet played by the god of fate; I thought Lin Yu was the one who caused it. The murderer of my mother's death, I later found out that he only used his own way to explain to me; I once blamed Su Luoyang for the death of Eluth, and later realized that I actually had the same responsibility..."

The plume of smoke dissipated. Chart raised his head and let out a bewildered breath. He looked up at the sky projected on the window, and the sunlight left a reflection in the reflection of the glass.

"Think about it this way, do I really have the present and the future? What I think is not what I thought it was at first. Because the world is arranged in this way, we live in a dream that seems real. This makes I suddenly remembered that my father's long-cherished wish is to wake up all those who are immersed in dreams, so I regard the project of "HELLO NEW WORLD" as the key to the present and the future."

Hearing this, Lin Yu raised his hand and reached into his hair, leaning his forehead against his palm, pursing his lips with unspeakable guilt.

And Kaede Watanabe closed his slightly sad eyes, and smiled relieved and relieved.

"All the people in the world are immersed in the dream. What I have been doing these past few months is actually fulfilling my father's long-cherished wish in another way." Speaking of this, Charte's expression changed from instant to After recovering from being moved, he turned his gaze back to the projection screen in the conference room, "According to the real-time monitoring information from my side, the emotional bridge leading to the dream gap has reached 83% completion. No more words, my report ends here Let's end."

Zaltra lifted the deerstalker hat, revealing his clear eyes, lowered down, and bowed deeply to us. He remained silent for a few seconds, as if performing an important ceremony.

Silent thanks, like walking through the bridge we built between consciousness, conveyed to my heart and diffused. The emotion that I felt until Chalt sat on the swivel chair still remained in my heart, and it took me a long time to recover.

"My side is responsible for fully immersive virtual reality equipment. According to the planned release date, we have already sent the equipment ordered by players to all over the world."

Immediately after Charter was Kaede Watanabe, who briefly explained about the equipment. As if trying to drive away the sadness that filled the air.

"After it is delivered, it will be able to cover most of the world. As of the meeting, the sales of equipment are still rising at an alarming rate, and it will not take long to form a network covering the whole world. This is the case, and I don't have many I want to feel emotional. The only thing I want to say anyway is that I believe that what I am doing now will not disappoint the expectations of a certain junior.”

After finishing speaking, Watanabe Feng sat down very simply and did not make any further additions. He reached out his hand to signal to Chen Zekai beside him, leaving no room for us to think deeply. But in any case, I will think of Watanabe Kaede's life after he quit the domination war. Whether it is in the final stage of the domination of the war or the plan to deceive fate, until now in HELLO NEW WORLD, everything he does is to give Sato Kazuhiko the meaning of existence.

——Death is meaningless. It is the living who are affected, who give it meaning.

It is Chen Zekai's turn to report.

"At present, public opinion basically holds a positive attitude towards us, which has positively promoted the discussion of the game and its extended works. However, there are very few unanimously formed conspiracy theories to attack us."

Chen Zekai's words reminded me of the remarks we had noticed at the beginning, [Boycott VR online games! This is definitely a conspiracy to make everyone addicted to virtual reality! 】

"Although we contacted the relevant departments and banned these low-level accounts on the grounds of spreading false information on the Internet, this incident is obviously an organized action, and the follow-up of the speech is still fermenting. We contacted the police for tracking and found that the dissemination The person who speaks has an extremely close relationship with the Dream Stealer.”

"Dream Stealer...?"

Shang was concerned about the Dream Stealer, so Chen Zekai sat down unpreparedly to indicate that the report was over, looked towards me, and passed the right to speak to me.

"Ah...Su Huilin and I have successfully completed the core docking project of the new world. The new world at this stage can completely restore reality, to the extent that it is no different from our world. And the gap between dreams is through the master clock and The New World has built a bridge to connect people to the New World as a transit point to welcome the arrival of the world. All in all, it means that the emigration plan can be carried out.”

"ANIKI did a great job!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Chen Xue suddenly yelled in a childish voice. Seeing that I seemed to be taken aback by her, Chen Xue raised his hand and knocked on his head in embarrassment, and stood up playfully blinking his eyes.

"Hey! I don't have anything to report. During this period of time, I'm mainly investigating the whereabouts of sister Rin'er, and Sister Chamao is tracking the movement of the name of the Virgin. But I'm helping everyone else! Simply put I'm just in charge of doing chores for the little brothers, so I don't have any emotion! The report is over!"

After Chen Xue finished speaking, he sat down unsteadily, buried his head in picking up the phone and swiped the screen. Today she has been paying attention to her mobile phone since the beginning of the meeting, and seems to be confirming the status of certain things all the time. It should be that she cannot get away from the things she is responsible for.

Then for some reason, the meeting room fell into an inexplicable silence.

After a while, all eyes except Chen Xue fell on the same place - Xue Xue'er who was asleep beside Chen Xue.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Chen Xue pointed at herself blankly. Seeing that everyone shook their heads in unison, she focused her attention on her side, suddenly realized that she stretched out her index finger, and poked Xue Xueer's cheek. But Xue Xueer still didn't wake up, and I seemed to be able to see transparent bubbles around her head that represented drowsiness. So Chen Xue continued to poke left and right, Xue Xueer finally rubbed his eyes and stretched his waist.

"Hmm! So tired... um? Why are you all looking at me?"

"...Because it's your turn."

Hearing this, Xue Xueer was stunned for a while. Suddenly he stood up holding the planning book on the table, and boldly ran to the whiteboard next to Feng Chenghuan.

"Well, Chen Zekai and I are responsible for public opinion."

As Xue Xueer said, she took the starting rope from her pocket and bit her mouth, holding the planning book under her arm, raised her hand to hold her soft hair, and tied up a simple single ponytail in two steps in three steps. Then she took the remote control on the table and turned on the projector behind us strangely.

"The progress of the things everyone is in charge of should be close to completion, right? But the problem we are all ignoring now is that the name of the Virgin or the Dream Thieves have been promoting conspiracy theories about the Core Research Association during this period. On the other hand, due to the emotional bridge If some people use fully immersive VR equipment in advance, triggering a state of drowsiness, the news will spread, which may cause the fermentation of conspiracy theories and arouse the suspicion of the world.”

Chen Zekai nodded as if he had understood it long ago, unknowingly echoing Xue Xueer's speech.

"So..." Watanabe Feng seemed to be not unaware of this, and said slowly, "We can't let some people go to the new world in advance, we should choose to start the immersive mode at the same time."

The plan we decided half a month ago is to use the fake doomsday as the dividing line to implement the second step of the plan, sending all the people in the world to the cracks in dreams. However, the progress of the Emotional Bridge is ahead of our expectations. If the equipment establishes a global immersive network now, it may indeed cause some people to enter the gap between dreams in advance.

"That's it. We have to choose the best time to start the immersion mode. It can't be advanced or delayed. For this reason, I have negotiated with Chen Zekai and Watanabe Feng in the past few days, and finally designed such a combat plan."

As she said that, Xue Xueer adjusted her slightly nervous breathing, turned around and projected the plan book in her hand.

"Everyone here, have you heard of "group hypnosis"?"

The conference room was silent for half a second. I looked hesitantly at the keywords marked in red by her on the proposal, and asked with some uncertainty:

"...Are you talking about a stage show where a group of subjects are hypnotized at the same time?"

"Yes. To put it simply, it's equivalent to a stage hypnosis show! If one of the subjects is successfully hypnotized, because the hypnotic effect affects and promotes each other in the group, the hypnotic atmosphere will accelerate the spread To the entire crowd. Theoretically, there is no limit to the number of subjects, so I thought we might be able to use the effect of collective hypnosis to hypnotize the entire world at the same time.”

As soon as the words fell, I looked at Xue Xueer in front of the whiteboard in disbelief, so I quickly browsed the contents of the proposal.

The plan is to gather gamers of "Dream Ruler" to participate in a large-scale live broadcast event of a global tour nature on April 1, 2019, the deadline of the pseudo-doomsday. At the beginning of the live broadcast, it serves as a new node of the world's destiny, linking the entire world and multi-dimensional reality together at the same time.

Nuclear Research is responsible for expanding the venue to the greatest extent, increasing outlets, and reducing costs to increase the number of people present on site. The rest participated in the activities through webcast, TV broadcast and other forms.

Just like the collective nightmare event, the collective hypnotic effect is used to arouse a high degree of group empathy and build an emotional bridge connecting the whole world. Finally, at the moment when the collective emotions are rising to the commanding heights, activate the dream immersion mode and release Eternal Winter, pull all the people into the cracks of the dream, and then send them to the new world according to the established plan to complete our second step of combat.

"Basically, it is as stated in the proposal." After we finished browsing the contents of the proposal, Xue Xueer explained to us with great interest, "According to my expectation, this world live broadcast event will be combined with the link of "Pseudo-Doomsday" Synchronization."

According to our original plan: the key link in the second step of the operation is to fake the end of the world, so that the creator Xia Qianyan thinks that the world is going to end as usual. The first reason: Only in this way can we ensure that she will not be suspicious and hinder the normal progress of our "World Hypnosis Project"; the second: I thought that the end of the world has not been destroyed, and I am going to use this to convince Xia Qianyan of the possibility of the future .

Therefore, the link of pseudo-doom cannot be canceled because of the newly added global live broadcast event. But if the timing of the two coincides, no one can be sure what the impact will be.

"I don't think we need to worry about time overlap. At that time, we can tell the audience the truth about the destruction of the world with the determination to die. Under the collective hypnotic effect, most people will be oppressed by the doomsday atmosphere and choose to go to the new world. Sustaining life, that's why I say do both operations simultaneously."

As she said that, Xue Xueer's smiling eyes focused on my direction.

"Su Luoyang, this incredible-sounding plan was inspired by you, huh?"

"Huh? Why are you related to me again?"

I couldn't help raising my right eyebrow, waved my hand and denied it, showing the idea of ​​disregarding her relationship with her. But when I looked away from Xue Xueer's figure and landed on the proposal again, I suddenly realized that this might be the case. When I talked with Xue Xueer a long time ago about how to expand the popularity of Dream Crack, I told her that the scope of influence can be maximized through live broadcast.

Gamers affect non-gamers, and the Internet affects reality. When the influence overflows the initial bottle, the concept contained in the bottle can be gradually spread.

From urban to rural areas, from developed countries to developing countries to less developed countries. When the gestated subculture covers the whole world, even the newborn baby will be educated by the atmosphere, and finally anyone with will will walk on the emotional bridge leading to the gap between dreams.

Although this is indeed my own theory, the phrase "expanding influence through live broadcast" is actually just a tool I use to explain why video games that are not popular can affect everyone. Mentioned things turn into practical thoughts. I didn't expect Xue Xue'er to take my words at that time seriously, and it evolved into a plan like today's.

"Well, do you think... that's possible?"

Seeing that we didn't respond for a long time, Xue Xueer's self-confidence disappeared without a trace, and his momentum became fragile.

"Maybe it's possible in theory? Although no one can guarantee whether there will be emergencies in actual actions, but if we take too much step by step, it will become difficult." I gritted my teeth and raised my gaze to meet Xue Xueer's expectant gaze. Then hesitantly gave his own definite answer, "Under the current situation, I think your plan is worth a try."

Hearing this, Xue Xueer laughed with relief. And I was slow to notice Feng Chenghuan's seemingly gratified eyes, only to realize that I had actually been influenced by him unknowingly during this period of time.

"Then let go of your worries and give it a try." Suddenly, Charte snapped his clear fingers, as if he was about to finalize the matter, and said, "The progress of our emotional bridge happens to be 17% unfinished, Kaede Watanabe The sales of equipment over there need to be further improved to truly form an immersive mode network covering the world. In just one week, only by creating such a big event can we drive the explosive growth of these values, right?"

"Yes. As Chart's guardian, I don't think there is a problem with what he said this time."

"Stop talking nonsense! Of course there is no problem!"

"It deserves it..." Lin Yu finally couldn't hold back and blamed Chaerte, and said to him mercilessly, "Who made it so that two of the three sentences you usually say are full of loopholes."

The result was obvious. If the current venue didn't allow it, the two of them would have liked to fight here on the spot.

"Cough... since everyone has no objections, let's follow this plan."

In the end, Feng Chenghuan made the final decision, and our battle rose to the commanding heights in an increasingly crazy trend.

The global live broadcast event of "Dream Ruler" - this last day's battle, was confirmed at our final report meeting.

Chen Zekai left the meeting room without waiting for the end of the meeting to take charge of the publicity task of the live broadcast event. Xue Xueer staggered back to her seat with the planning book in her arms, buried her head on the table and fell asleep.

"Are you asleep?" Xiao Lulu marveled at Xue Xueer's speed of light falling asleep, and put his finger on his lips as if talking to himself, "It seems that you have been busy for several nights with this proposal?"

After speaking, Xiao Lulu noticed that our eyes were focused on her direction. After being stunned for a while, she remembered that it was her turn to report the situation, and she quickly exchanged a glance with the black cat, staring at her cutely for help. As a result, the black cat curled its lips helplessly, and slowly stood up while dragging the swivel chair.

"As for Lulu, I'm in charge of the same job as me - to build an emotional bridge to a fantasy continent that is far different from our world. The plan was proposed by Su Luoyang, and it will be carried out simultaneously with your game planning ~ so far we have I have been to a total of 2,520 fantasy continents through the world gate of the tea cat, and the concept of the gap between dreams has been spread throughout these worlds through religious forms, and Immersive equipment has been installed with the help of the locals.”

"It's only about to release Eternal Winter, right?"

"Well! You can confirm the unified time point in a similar way to the global live broadcast, start the immersive mode and launch the operation of eternal winter."

While speaking, the black cat looked at me, blinking its expectant eyes and shaking its body from side to side. Her hands were placed on her chest and twisted together, like a child waiting for an adult to praise. I ignored Chen Xue's puffed cheeks in front of me, and gave a thumbs up to the black cat who was disturbing its tail and acting coquettishly. The black cat raised the corners of its mouth and gave a very refreshing smile. It's a lot more frank than before.

"Is it our turn at last?" Lin Yu stood up under the gaze of the tea cat, scratched his slightly messy hair, and said on behalf of the two, "The tea cat and I have been investigating the name of the Virgin Mary since more than a month ago. Their whereabouts and their movements. Because we suspect that the name of the Virgin has a lot to do with the conspiracy theories spread on the Internet. Or, they instructed the Dream Thief to do this..."

"I found it!!"

A sudden shout pushed the swivel chair to interrupt Lin Yu's speech, attracting everyone's attention. I saw Chen Xue stood up in a hurry holding his mobile phone, his eyes froze in front of him for half a second, and then he looked at me coldly.

"ANIKI!" Chen Xue pulled my arm excitedly, and said word by word, "I found the location of sister Lin'er!"

The voice was like a shock falling on my chest, with a heartbeat that I missed, it rose to my throat, and hit my ears frantically.

"I combined the information that ANIKI told me during this period, and expanded the scope of the search for the whereabouts of Rin'er's sister! Then I just received a reply. All in all, the one who took Rin'er away was indeed the name of the Holy Mother!"

"Where's their address?"

I desperately wanted to confirm Su Huilin's condition, so I held Chen Xue's shoulder at a loss.

Chen Xue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly buried his head to confirm the message on the phone, but Lin Yu walked towards us before Chen Xue could speak, and scratched the back of his head hesitantly.

"I said, it's in Seaside City, right?"

"Yes, it is!"

Almost as soon as the words fell, Chen Xue gave a confirmed answer, and looked away from the screen to look at Lin Yu, as if asking how Lin Yu knew.

"...I just said that the tea cat and I are investigating the whereabouts of the Holy Mother's name? A few days ago, we investigated the new location of the Holy Mother's Name. Is it in the newly built K area of ​​the seaside city the year before last, or the deserted seaside." Said, Lin Yu focused his eyes on me, clicked his tongue and said, "This is what I wanted to report to you just now."

"Chen Xue, can you take me there now?"

I hurriedly looked at Chen Xue, she nodded and readily agreed. But just as he was about to leave, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open by someone outside. An experimenter in a white coat hurried into the room, walked past us and walked to Professor Huan.

Like a reaction to strenuous exercise, his breathing was very short.

"Professor! There are quite a few people outside who want to break in, saying they want to see our person in charge!"

Hearing this, Feng Chenghuan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately left his seat and walked to the clothes rack by the window, grabbed his white coat and put it on.

"Is it a reporter? Is Chen Zekai moving so fast... It just so happens that the live broadcast of the event needs to be heated up through the media, anyway, let them in!" Feng Chenghuan patted away the wrinkles of his clothes, and he walked quickly past the window In the corridor, he turned to us and said, "For your side—in short, this is the end of today's report meeting, and the matter of the name of the Virgin will be left to you for the time being."

After saying that, Feng Chenghuan pretended to leave, but when he was about to turn the corner and leave the window, he stopped suddenly for some reason, his expression became serious, and he turned to look at the experimenter who followed behind him panting.

"No...not a reporter!" The experimenter adjusted his breathing and explained, "The other party claimed to be a religious person from Mother's Anonymity, and blocked the door and refused to leave. The leader said, "I will tell you the name of the Virgin Mary." , let... let you die to understand!!"

The voice just fell. I suddenly realized that the situation had exceeded our expectations, so I walked quickly to the window at the same time as Lin Yu. We followed Feng Chenghuan's astonished gaze and looked downstairs, and couldn't help but gasped.

——The dark figures spread all over the bustling streets, densely crowding the field of vision.

Downstairs gathered a considerable number of strangely dressed people.

Without exception, they all wore black robes that covered their entire bodies, only pairs of empty and lifeless eyes were exposed from under the brim of their hats.

And the leader at the front seemed to be aware of our gaze, raised his neck high and looked directly at us, suddenly showing an extremely awkward smile.

"All of this is for teaching."
