My portable gaming girlfriend

When I took off the helmet, the whole body collapsed, and I was the only one in the dormitory. Everything just now is like a dream, the talking white cat, the artificial intelligence with self-awareness, the game of beautiful girls who cannot escape.

"Sakura... the waning moon..."

Whispering the names of these two people, I pinched my cheek. A slight tingling sensation went straight to the brain along the facial nerve... It hurts so much, it seems that this is not a nightmare, I did experience an unbelievable thing.

Since I would die if I didn't eat any more, I made a pack of instant noodles to eat.

I don't know what happened to Canyue and Sakura... I called Canyue, but I didn't receive a reply.

Speaking of which, this experience is really like a dream... I wrote it down and posted it on the Internet to arouse the attention and vigilance of others, but the news I posted was like a stone sinking into the sea, without even a ripple.

Would no one believe it at all? Thinking about it, the previous news interview has completely quelled the related riots, and now most people will think that this is just a simple prank, right?

I really want to confirm the situation of Sakura and Wanyue, just when I decided to venture into "The Story of Falling Sakura" again, a piece of news made me dispel this idea.

[Cwan Moon: See you tomorrow at the GreenLand Cafe at 2 pm. 】

【Me: Are you and Sakura okay? 】

It's a pity that there is only this one piece of news about Wanyue, and we can only talk about it when we see it.

Now that we have news... let's go to bed first, shall we? Looking at the game helmet lying on the ground, I closed my eyes with lingering fear...

This sleep lasted until 12:00 noon the next day. After getting up, I took a shower and set off. There are too many questions that need to be answered.

There are not many customers in the GreenLand coffee shop due to consumption reasons. Although I feel sorry for my wallet, it is indeed the best choice in terms of quietness and ease of talking.

Pushing open the exquisitely carved wooden door, I looked for the figure of the waning moon.

"Time travels far, here."

The one who stood up and greeted me was a young man with dyed yellow hair and sunglasses.

If I'm not mistaken, this voice is somewhat familiar and I subconsciously associate it with a celebrity I thought I had met not long ago. However, it is impossible for this kind of person to appear here, he must be so busy every day.

In addition, it is more comfortable to be called by my real name.

"Hello, who are you?"

"My name is Su You, nice to meet you."

"..."

What? The person in front of him is actually Su You, but he has the same name, right?

"—and Canyue, you should also say hello to classmate Shi. Aren't you classmates?"

However, the person who called himself Su You didn't explain too much to me, but just patted the shoulders of the people around him.

"Tsk... hello..."

The brown girl in a mask and hat sitting next to him greeted me very coldly. Wait... This voice, this attitude... Why is it somehow familiar?

"Hey, after all, it was the game you tricked me into playing. We were born and died together. Are you so indifferent to me?"

By the way, what happened to the classmates? I said... isn't it? A most unlikely combination in my heart began to slowly take shape...

"It's annoying, talking to him is already the limit of patience."

"You guys are more annoying than the Internet..."

However, the moment she raised her head, I saw her left eye glowing red——

That is--

"You can't be... Shen Qing, right?"

"Ah, I was recognized."

At the same time, the yellow-haired man also took off his sunglasses. I will never mistake this face anyway. He is the real Su You, that game master, my idol who has always been there.

"Do you have an opinion?"

——Shen Qing, the super cool top student in the class, turned out to be the netizen Wanyue who recommended Galgame to me? ! I feel like the world is playing a big joke on me.

"I said……"

"what?"

"Is there no dual personality?"

The image of the well-known Bingshan beauty in the school and the waning moon that I taunted each other on the Internet could not coincide.

"Shi Yuanxing, are you out of your mind?"

Being severely despised by the beauty of Bingshan...It's impossible to think about it...It seems that I can only accept this fact.

"Hey, what's the matter with such a disdainful look, as if it's embarrassing to be recognized by me?"

"Of course, recognized by you idiot..."

"Okay, time is limited, let's get down to business."

Su You calmly calmed down the tense atmosphere between us with a smile.

"Student Shi, just like what you saw in "The Story of Falling Sakura", artificial intelligence will indeed suddenly produce self-awareness and endanger human health."

"I want to ask this, is Sakura the only AI with self-awareness?"

"Of course not. Such artificial intelligence exists in many games."

Speaking of which, I will naturally not continue to entangle with their identities. Sure enough...Sakura is not an exception, and the rumors on the Internet are not groundless.

"Does the game production company or the government ignore them?"

Or will you just find someone to control intelligence or manipulate the media? I am a little annoyed, if these people can prevent problems before they happen, maybe those players and even Sakura will not have that kind of experience.

"The number of games and the number of players are too large, and the proportion of such related reports is negligible in comparison, which is not enough to attract the attention of the government. On the other hand, Endia invested a lot of money in public relations to launder Bai’s incident is like a talk show I participated in before—after all, once the artificial intelligence endangers human beings is exposed, it will have a huge negative impact on their company.”

"The thing about those players turning into vegetative people before is also—"

"Yes, most of it is related to artificial intelligence. To solve this problem, people who have encountered self-aware artificial intelligence have come together and built a special code to detect and extract artificial intelligence in a special way, preventing They continue to endanger the human organization - Debug, and I am one of the leaders of the organization."

"So, did you also plan to take Sakura away?"

"Yes, it's just that we didn't expect her destructive power to be so powerful. "Sakura Story" is an old-fashioned game with a small world. Her rampage caused the world to collapse, and she almost destroyed herself—thanks to you Finally, after convincing her, her code was successfully extracted by us..."

"Then Sakura is still alive..."

I suddenly felt that the word 'alive' was inappropriate, but I couldn't think of any more suitable words.

"Well, of course she is still alive, but we store the extracted artificial intelligence in a special server that is not connected to the outside world to prevent them from escaping again and endangering others."

"Can I see her..."

I hesitated what to say to get them to release Sakura.

"But don't worry, Wanyue has already told me about Sakura's situation. As long as she is confirmed to be emotionally stable and will not harm humans, we can hand her over to you, but there are conditions for doing so—"

"What are the conditions?"

I asked him eagerly.

"The condition is that you join our Debug organization and help us investigate and extract artificial intelligence together."

"What?"

To be honest, I don't want to be involved in such an incident anymore... Sakura's incident was just a momentary passion...

"You have also seen the horror of the self-awareness of the runaway? If you keep them in the game, there will only be more and more incidents of players turning into vegetative people. Someone has to deal with them."

"To be honest, judging from the current situation, we can only store her in the special server 'Eden'. You should understand what it means?"

"Do you want to store her on the hard drive without contacting the outside world???"

Looking at Su You's half-smile face, I stared at him with a bit of hostility. It is self-evident what storage means to AI...

"Let me tell you this, since Sakura...or your girlfriend was taken out, we communicated with her in our own server in a common sense way. The effect...is not very ideal, her mood is very unstable, And it is extremely dangerous, and it is completely unknown when this kind of data collapse will be triggered."

"Why would Sakura..."

"We don't know the exact reason. Her code seems to be very complicated. Although we have encountered many self-aware AIs and succeeded in giving them and the player a good ending, it is obvious that your girlfriend doesn't want to be with you. We cooperated and almost caused a disaster."

"disaster?"

"Well, we have already told her in detail that she is a character in the game who has self-awareness, and there are things like the real world that she is completely unaware of outside. Like ordinary AI, we will not ignore their consciousness and forcibly If it is dealt with, the more moderate and reasonable AI will break away from the game system restrictions and have a server that is completely its own."

When Su You said this, he glanced at Wan Yue, or Shen Qing, who was at the side.

"The consciousness I put into the server was almost broken down by her."

Shen Qing silently said a fact that left me speechless.

"sorry……"

I don't know why I feel like I have to apologize here. Has Sakura always been like that since she gained self-awareness? I can almost imagine how the darkened woman would react when she knew about the real world and me, Shen Qing or Wanyue...

"That's right, as soon as that lively pink-haired girl found out about Wan Yue's identity and her relationship with you, she began to hunt her down everywhere by screaming 'stealing cat' and 'A Yuan'. Wan Yue was almost killed by you The game girlfriend turned into a vegetable. The only way we can take such a dangerous and unstable self-aware artificial intelligence is..."

"Seal her up??"

"Maybe I will analyze her code and study her algorithm. To be honest, many people are very interested in the particularity of your girlfriend's data corruption..."

"What are you going to do to Sakura?"

Although Su You said it lightly, I am very clear about what this kind of thing means to an artificial intelligence without a body. Sakura, who has always only hoped to be accompanied by someone, will not only fail to realize her wish, but will also completely lose her hard-won. Consciousness becomes a mere object of study.

"Calm down, generally we only do this to dangerous AIs that are completely uncooperative and intent on harming humans."

"But Sakura is acting very dangerous now, isn't she?"

I stared at Su You and Shen Qing next to him, although Shen Qing was kind to me and pulled me out of the death girl game, but if they really want to treat Daiying like that...

"That's why I said, join us."

"What's the meaning?"

"Don't you understand? You really deserve to be a virgin for 18 years."

"Do you want to fight?"

To be honest, I am not familiar with Shen Qing's expressionless cold face combined with Shang Canyue's always mocking and hurtful ways.

But sure enough, this kind of ridicule made people so angry that I subconsciously refuted it back.

"Okay, okay, I know you guys are friends who chat very well, and there will be plenty of time after mutual damage. Closer to home, time is far away, when Sakura is by your side, she will become very stable and less aggressive."

"Sakura, she..."

"That's right, from just now your girlfriend looks like an awkward little girl, even if she knows what's going on in the world, she's still clamoring to see her boyfriend."

"So you want me to be with her?"

"I finally understand, yes, as long as you are next to her, she is not in any clear danger, so there is no need for us to take tough measures."

"Are you sure you won't do anything to Sakura?"

"Of course it won't do anything, as long as you assist us. How about it? Judging from your professional and other social media performance, you are also very interested in the development of artificial intelligence, aren't you? To be honest, you ignore your own life to save a People with artificial intelligence are still rare. If you really want to help Sakura and understand what the so-called self-awareness is, joining us is undoubtedly the most appropriate."

What he said is well-founded, and I don't seem to have anything to refute.

On the other hand, our manpower has always been insufficient, and it takes an average of more than 10 hours to solve each "self-awareness incident"... So even for Sakura, and for other players who don't know, join Debug . "

"...Okay, I'll join."

What Su You said is right, I am not prepared to keep silent when encountering this kind of thing, Sakura’s experience has given me a big shock, no matter if it is such a girl or an innocent player who has been implicated, she should not encounter such a situation. kind of treatment.

Even if it's just for Sakura, I can only choose to join this organization.

"That's great, welcome to Debug, Shi Yuanxing! It's not too late, let's go now."

"Where are you going?"

"The place where you and the waning moon can damage each other as before."

Su You smiled inscrutablely, got up and paid the bill and pulled Shen Qing and me out of the coffee shop. Of course, it didn't take long for me to understand what he meant.

We took Su You's car and drove in the bustling city. Row upon row of high-rise buildings, straight to the sky.

I have heard about this car, and the price is about 4 million. According to Su You, this car was driven during a private event, and it was given by a female fan...

To clarify here, I am not envious after hearing this, not at all.

"I'll take you to the base of our organization now. If there is no traffic jam, it will only take 20 minutes from there to your school."

Su You said that, I didn't expect this base to be a villa of 1,000 square meters.

Is this a bit too much? I have seen the building in front of me a few times before, and I always thought it was a rental apartment somewhere, but it turned out that it was all his? !

"This is also a gift from someone else."

"Is it a female fan again?!"

How many rich female fans are there? !

"No no... I once rescued a player who was trapped by the awakened AI in the game. Afterwards, he gave me this villa as a thank you, and I will use it as a base."

Fortunately...if it came from a female fan, I might really commit suicide because of low self-esteem...

"Student Shi Yuanxing, if it is inconvenient for you to live in the dormitory, you can live here with Can Yue, so that your cooperation will be more convenient."

Unexpectedly, the blockbuster he dropped next made me want to commit suicide.

"What?"

Shen Qing and I said the same thing? What is this unfolding? Living under the same roof as the campus goddess?

"What? Boss, are you joking? Why should I live with this guy?"

Shen Qing's reaction was more exaggerated than mine.

"This place is so big, it won't be crowded if you live together..."

Su You explained helplessly.

"Yes, but living under the same roof with that kind of virgin..."

"I'm a virgin, I'm really sorry!"

"Eh? Didn't you say that you don't want to live at home? And you suggested to me..."

"Ah, stop talking! I agree!"

I said that your conversation is very interesting, what is going on?

"Then it's a happy decision! Board and lodging are free, there are a lot of daily entertainment, and there are small snacks. This environment is very good, as long as you help the organization to work hard."

So I haven't said my opinion yet! Although on the other hand, wanting to live here can indeed solve a lot of my daily expenses, and it seems to be good.

Besides, Shen Qing, aside from Wan Yue's strange and irritating personality, is also a very beautiful girl. It is the dream of many people in the school to live with her.

And compared to them, I also know the unknown side of the campus goddess, ah... vanity is starting to play tricks.

"What strange things are you thinking about again? Don't you have enough EQ and no IQ? You are definitely thinking..."

"No!"

"Then what happened to what you did to Sakura in the game before? And what happened to me possibly liking you?"

Shen Qing subconsciously covered her chest.

It seems that I thought of the first time I rubbed Sakura's chest unscrupulously... I forgot that she was Meow-chan at that time, and everything was in sight.

And after that, I seemed to use her as a talking point to brag about Wanyue, how could I know that Wanyue is Shen Qing! The performance positioning is completely wrong, okay?

"That is……"

It's over... This is completely regarded as a perversion, although she already knew it as Wanyue, but it turns out that the first-person perspective is much more impactful than listening to other people's descriptions.

"Delusion perverted virgin, stay away from me!"

It's so embarrassing, bragging that kind of bullshit in front of me, and now she sees me like that, and I can't help it.

"Can you stop staring at the virgin and talking non-stop? The image is ruined!"

Of course, I can't just let the word virgin go, I don't know why her waning moon attribute is completely exposed now.

"Is there anything wrong with saying that a virgin is a virgin? Do you dare to say that you didn't use my body to dream about such and such things just now?"

"What am I thinking? You who thought I would do that kind of thing are actually a sullen girl, right?"

"What did you say!"

"Any comments?"

Even if I have a problem, the term "virgin" is too unreasonable. Sure enough, Wan Yue or Shen Qing's character is too bad.

"The servers are all placed in the basement. The first floor is the living room, kitchen, dining room and entertainment room, and the second floor is the bedroom. You have to explore the details yourself."

"Can I see Sakura?"

Forget the minutiae, it doesn't matter, this is what I am most concerned about.

"Don't worry, I'll show you her now."

"……Thanks."

I suppressed my excitement and followed Su You and Shen Qing to the basement.

There is a wall in the basement on which changing projected images appear.

"This is the display, through which you can communicate with virtual characters. This computer cannot be connected to the Internet, so the display is the only way to communicate. The collected artificial intelligence is stored in these scroll-like storages. Just plug in This interface can communicate."

As he spoke, he took out a 'scroll' from the shelf where the scrolls were neatly placed, and inserted it into the interface.

The interface of the display becomes pitch black. Suddenly, a voice sounded——

"This is where?"

"cherry!"

That's right, that voice is Sakura!

"Ayuan... where are you?...it's so dark here, there's nothing..."

"Boss, can you let Sakura out?"

I don't know how to reply to Sakura's appearance, I have to save her.

That's right, I also followed Shen Qing's example and called Su You the boss.

"Release? You mean transfer her to your microcomputer?"

"Yes... I know it's a big ask, but it's so pathetic that she's locked up like this in the 'Garden of Eden'...

"Actually, it's not impossible to do this. After all, some games will launch relevant special codes, which can extract the information of the game characters into the personal computer and combine it with the smart companion... But it's a pity that "Luo Sakura Story" does not have such a function."

"..."

I suddenly feel like the world is going to collapse...

"...Fortunately, Sakura's character information and code have been extracted, so if you want Sakura to be displayed on your microcomputer, you only need the programmer to work hard."

"Really, really? Can Sakura really be displayed on my microcomputer?"

If this is the case, I will save money and buy a contact lens-style microcomputer, so that Sakura can appear in my world!

"You're so annoying, you just have to wait."

Canyue, no, Shen Qing said impatiently.

"Then can I visit Sakura often?"

If so, I must live in this villa.

"Okay, but please don't move other 'scrolls' at will."

"Sakura...just wait for a while and you can come out, don't worry. Don't get angry with others, I'll pick you up right here soon,"

I spoke to the pitch-black display screen.

"Well... I know, Ah Yuan... No, it should be called Shi Yuanxing now. You really won't abandon me. You really came...I'm so happy."

"You'd better call me A Yuan, it's more comfortable."

"Well, I get it, A Yuan...I'm sorry, I did that to you before..."

"It's okay, it's not Sakura's fault..."

"Okay! The Cowherd and Weaver Girl Qixi Festival will end! This kind of communication is a heavy burden on the server. I don't want to cause harm to them when the machine is damaged. Don't worry, someone will help you reunite. Our programmers are beyond your imagination. Excellent! All aspects."

Su You patted my shoulder, and the two left the basement together.

"Sakura! Just bear with it for a while, I will definitely come to pick you up!"

"Well... I'm waiting..."

In this way, the first communication between Sakura and me outside of the game is over. It is a wonderful feeling that I can talk to her like this in the real world.

"By the way, that's the room where the programmers in our organization live, but don't bother him if there's no urgent matter, just contact him online."

Su You pointed to a door on the other side of the room...

"Does he... live in the basement? Will he come out to eat?"

"You don't have to worry about this, it usually won't come out, just don't be too surprised when you see it."

"..."

Perhaps geniuses have incomprehensible everyday life.

Next, in the process of eating egg fried rice, Su You gave us a detailed introduction to the situation of the Debug organization.

There are about 200 people in this group - I didn't expect there to be so many. Members are located all over the world. Once there is some intelligence about 'self-awareness', the organization will send members into the game to investigate.

This kind of investigation is not successful every time, just like 'self-awareness' can only appear in front of one of the many players who are playing the same game at the same time.

"In a sense, it took 2,892,314 games to reveal 'self-awareness', your girlfriend is pretty amazing."

Su You said so.

"This meal is so unpalatable that my huskies won't even look at it."

Shen Qing looked at the rice on the plate with a disgusted expression.

"The only two foods I can cook are curry and fried rice. If you don't like it, you can do it."

Speaking of it, I really didn't expect Shen Qing to be the waning moon, and I never thought that one day I would communicate with Shen Qing... If my roommate sees it, I will definitely freak out.

However, Shen Qing is an excellent person, but she is really difficult to get along with...Everything she says is stinging, and she still has the standard temper of a young lady...

But I haven't forgotten that she fought with me in the game, and she didn't leave me and ran away in the end.

So everyone's personality has different aspects such as kindness and selfishness, good and bad.

"Hey, go and wash these dishes."

After Shen Qing finished her meal, she turned around and planned to go back to her room to rest.

"What, I wash?"

"Could it be that you want me or the boss to wash you? Don't you know how to be considerate of women or respect your boss?"

"Of course I won't let the boss wash it, but isn't it normal for you and me to wash half each? Don't you have hands?"

The frontier withdrew, this guy is really bad in every aspect!

"My hands are not for rough work. Only a fool is suitable for this kind of thing."

"Who are you calling an idiot, since you are the eldest lady, why do you still eat my cooking!"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, or let me wash it."

Su Yoo stood up and tried to calm our anger.

"No, no, that doesn't make sense. I'll just wash it today."

Of course you can't let your idol do the dishes, Shen Qing, a useless guy...

"Then, I'm going back to the training base. I wish you a happy life here~"

After I finished washing the dishes, Su You saw that it was getting late, bid us farewell and left the villa.

"Let me tell you first, the room at the end of the corridor above is mine. If I see you within 5 meters of my room, don't blame me for calling the police."

"Who's going to your room? You feel so good about yourself, don't you?"

If it's more gentle, Sakura is probably 100 times stronger than you, but I won't say that.

"Hmph, there's no need to pay attention to what you say as a loser. Goodbye."

After Shen Qing finished speaking, she returned to her own room.

Now that I decided to live here, I chose the room next to the stairs... It's better to stay away from that guy Shen Qing.

I lay in bed and started thinking about the events of the past few days. I didn't have time to think about some things carefully at the time, and I still feel lingering fear when I recall them now.

Sakura has self-awareness from the very beginning, and Shen Qing also started to use her body to observe my game from the second day of Meow-chan's arrival?

Then, it can also explain why Sakura appeared beside me in the ending of Mizuhara Mina and Narumi Lily.

The first time, I probably used some method to get the ticket of Sakata Haruji, right?

The second time it is reasonable to say that the plot of Sakura itself is that she has to eat at home on Friday night (plus she has a fever), and should not appear in the cafe to work.

However, her appearance didn't alert me at the time, it just felt a little strange.

In the future, you can't be so careless when actively tracking down the whereabouts of self-aware artificial intelligence in the organization.

According to Su You, most of the game characters with self-awareness can trap the player, and some game characters set by ghosts and animals will even abuse the player, causing huge psychological trauma to the player...

After all, the emergence of self-awareness is often related to the character setting of the character itself.

Sakura's character setting is lack of mother's care and fear of being separated from her friends. However, when she is constantly being confessed and left in the game by the player, she probably feels some kind of contradiction, which leads to self-awareness.

In the end, she chose to trap me to achieve the goal of never being separated from her lover.

Ah, I'm so tired, I'm going back to school tomorrow to pack my luggage, I'm going to live here for now...

But I will never forget the day when I first met Sakura, she was like a pink angel looking at the falling cherry petals...
