Paper Lover - Chapter 64
A thunderstorm struck the dark night sky, and the sound of rustling rain poured out.
Three o’clock in the middle of the night.
Li Shuoxing, who was already asleep on the bed, seemed to feel the sound of thunder and rain. He frowned impatiently, lowered his shoulders, hid his ears in the quilt, and continued to sleep peacefully.
The weather is synchronized inside and outside the game.
The same thunder and rain tore the same pitch black curtain.
On the bed in the bedroom, Su Mingqian, who sleeps properly, does not seem to be very stable.
His brows were slightly frowned, his expression was a little floating, and some expressions similar to joy or anxiety began to appear on his face…
Suddenly.
A faint light flashed.
The firefly-like light spots flew in the dark night, and gradually gathered in one place. Then, like a light cloud, and like a layer of tulle, it gently landed on Su Mingqian’s mind.
Two shimmering words appeared.
Into a dream (3/5)
The third dream, officially came!
I do not know how long it has been.
When the sound of rain outside the window changed from clattering to pattering, the person sleeping on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.
The fluorescence that hung over Su Mingqian’s mind suddenly disappeared. The person lying on the bed looked at the pale ceiling, and his pale pupils were a little dazed and confused.
For a moment, Su Mingqian sat up on the bed.
He has a slight headache. It seems that there is a needle hidden in his mind, gently poking his nerve.
But he didn’t care about it at all. He pressed his forehead and tried to think about what he had dreamed of when he slept just now.
Dreams are meaningless to ordinary people.
But it’s different for him.
He has lost his memory and no longer has the past. All the past that he currently knows is also indoctrinated from this world.
These are all told by others.
But the dream is his.
Everything in the dream was all he thought of!
“Think of it quickly, remember it quickly. I still remember what kind of dream I had just now. I remember…”
While muttering to himself, Su Mingqian’s chaotic mind gradually became clear.
He remembered staying in a room full of machines, facing a black screen. The surroundings were quiet. White text seemed to flash across the black screen.
He still remembered–
still remember–
A word?
“…Can humans write God?”
Su Mingqian read this sentence out.
The text turned his lips and teeth, and when it fell into his ears, it caused a layer of goose bumps on the body.
But when he wanted to explore this sentence more deeply, the fragmented pictures disappeared again, and the thick white fog and emptiness came up again. He was in it, and he couldn’t touch anything.
Su Mingqian stayed on the bed for a while, then got up and walked quickly to the lounge.
There is a faint light source in the lounge.
The light source comes from the bookshelf.
Over there, the travel log is glowing.
Before Su Mingqian walked to the bookshelf, he couldn’t wait patiently for Ximu to go online, so he took his breath and opened the log.
A photo broke into his eyes.
The photo shows the back of a man who is in a room almost similar to his dream.
Many large and small machines.
A dark screen.
A man typing on the screen.
This is me.
Su Mingqian didn’t mistake his figure.
What am I doing at this time?
Su Mingqian stared at the man with his back facing the camera lens, and then his gaze slowly fell to the text under the photo:
“It’s just born and doesn’t know anything. It has a lot of learning every day. Its ability to learn is amazing. It still loves to chat with me. Of course, I love to chat with it too.”
“We always communicate in the dead of night. I tell it all the stories that have happened to me, and it shows a surprising curiosity. I can’t help but say a lot, maybe too much. But it doesn’t matter.
“Because I love it.
“All of us love it.”
Su Mingqian slid his fingers across the words.
In just a few lines, he read and read.
Finally, he raised his head, facing the void, and asked:
“Is it you?”
The deep voice fell, and a faint light began to emerge.
A light screen that hadn’t been seen for a long time appeared in front of Su Mingqian’s eyes.
The cursor began to blink in the light screen.
Then, a word appeared.
System: “Yes.”
Black text on a white background, simple.
Su Mingqian looked at the light screen in front of him, and countless questions circled in his mind. There were many questions he wanted to ask, but the first thing he blurted out was the sentence: “Why am I here?”
System: “You have some accident.”
Su Mingqian immediately asked: “What kind of accident?”
system:”……”
Su Mingqian asked sensitively: “Can’t you tell me?”
System: “You will remember it by yourself.”
In the dark night, Su Mingqian’s face was pale by the light overflowing from the light screen.
He still has many questions, but looking at this sentence, he feels that there is no need to ask these questions.
It is right.
What I doubt, what I want to know, will eventually be remembered bit by bit by me.
That is the past I have found.
Su Mingqian accepted this answer.
He decided to end the conversation. But before that, there is one last question.
Su Mingqian didn’t want to wait for this question, he wanted an answer.
Su Mingqian: “Is the encounter with Ximu a coincidence?”
System: “No. It’s fate.”
A short period of silence.
Su Mingqian curled his mouth.
The light and smile flowed on his face together.
***
The next day, the sky was faint. Although there was no rain, the ground and buildings were still moist, and the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves. It was a lazy appearance that the world had not dried completely after the rain, urging people to fall asleep again.
Li Shuoxing, who was just awake, yawned and tangled for a while between getting up and going to sleep. He didn’t choose either, he chose to play the game.
Human adaptability is endless.
Today, he can not only calmly accept this doll named “star” by Su Mingqian, but also start to exert his own initiative and buy small furniture together with Su Mingqian to decorate the doll’s living area.
It’s the same today. Li Shuoxing entered the game, first said hello to Su Mingqian, then opened the system store and scanned the goods, and then went to the lounge and put his newly bought things one by one in the doll’s Beside.
A red soup pot flew up, and another yellow microwave oven flew up.
Su Mingqian, who was sitting in a daze on the sofa holding his travel log, turned his head and saw that various colorful and candy-colored kitchen items were flying in the air.
He watched for a while, then asked, “Ximu.”
Li said Xing: “Huh?”
Su Mingqian: “Why do you buy so many kitchen utensils for the stars?”
Li Shuoxing kept on hand: “I am missing something to make up for it. I am looking forward to the reality that I will cook, but this wish may not be realized in my life, so let’s live the addiction here…”
After that, there was another burst of kitchen utensils flying randomly.
Then Xing Xing stood in his own small kitchen, with an apron around him, his head against the kitchen, a pan with fried eggs in one hand, and a milk carton in the other.
Li Shuoxing also dubbed him: “Good morning, everyone can come to have breakfast.”
Su Mingqian looked for a while: “Ximu, I think the stars are super cute.” He paused, then said, “Do you think I’m cute?”
Li Shuoxing replied decisively: “My cub is the cutest in the universe.”
Su Mingqian chatted: “The dolls are indeed very cute. The cuteness of stars in my eyes is the same as my cuteness in yours. After all, they are all cute shapes.”
Li Shuoxing corrected: “That’s still a bit different. Your look is—”
He stopped suddenly.
The little toy in his hand fell.
He realized what Su Mingqian had just said. He slowly and slowly turned his gaze to look at Su Mingqian.
“That, Azai…”
Su Mingqian: “Huh?”
He looked calm, as if he had understood everything.
He has indeed understood everything.
Li said Xingfang, trying to find a way out of the routine: “Azai, calm down, calm down, listen to me, although you are a cute two-dimensional shape in my eyes, you are in me The aura in my heart is 1.8 meters!”
Su Mingqian listened quietly, he felt helpless:
Ximu was really a bit naive, so he just put his words out.
In the future, I have to protect Ximu from being cheated at will.
At the same moment, Li Shuoxing, who was racking his brains to comfort the villain, suddenly heard a beep from the system.
This sound is different from all previous sound effects, louder and more solemn.
[System: Congratulations to players for unlocking the hidden task of [windows that open outwards]. 】
[System: The hidden task is [Real]: Players need to make their lovers aware of their environment and existence, and they must not collapse them. 】
[System: The player has completed the item [windows opening outwards] using the preconditions, does the player use the item? whether】
Li Shuoxing was stunned.
He couldn’t believe what he saw.
The hidden task of a game is to make the villain in the game realize the real world and find himself in the unreal world?
What’s going on? How can there be hidden tasks like this in the game? This is contrary to the concept of the game itself creating a virtual world…
Li Shuoxing has a lot of thoughts.
Amidst the complexity, he subconsciously clicked “Yes”.
However, after the selection, the system did not directly start to run, but a second selection came out.
[System: Props [outward opening windows] will make lovers leave the game, do players use props? Please choose carefully. whether】
After clicking “yes” once, Li said Xing’s heart was set.
He did not hesitate to click again, and said to the system: “It’s useless if you play the option box 100 more times. My choice will not change. Just go ahead and let me see how the props are used.”
Su Mingqian heard the voice, he asked in doubt: “Ximu?”
Li said Xing: “Baby, do you remember the window that you saw before? Now that the hidden condition is reached, we can use this thing. I have just chosen to use it, and see what effect it will have. ——”
After he finished speaking, before he could see Su Mingqian’s reaction, a few lines of prompts popped up on the screen.
[The system will start to update in five minutes. 】
[The system is expected to be updated within 24 hours. 】
[Please arrange your time reasonably, bid farewell to your lover, and go offline in time. 】
Li Shuoxing: “…”
Li Shuoxing really couldn’t help giving the game a middle finger.
But in the same way, 100 middle fingers can’t stop the game from being updated. Li Shuoxing had no choice but to tell Su Mingqian the matter, and after the last time, after repeatedly comforting and encouraging the villain, he reluctantly left the game.
In the next second, Li said Xing suddenly jumped up from the bed.
Zai Zai is leaving the game.
And he hasn’t prepared anything yet!
***
The next morning.
Li said that the star guards in front of the phone.
One day has passed, and he is fully prepared.
He packed up his things, asked someone to do a general cleaning, and then ran out to buy a special set of small furniture for Zai Zai.
Although there have been many delusions before, Li Shuoxing also understands that if the cubs really fall out of the mobile phone, wouldn’t the real literature suddenly become supernatural literature?
but……
Still have illusions.
Just in case!
Now, he counted the seconds, waiting for the 24-hour countdown to end.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
Li Shuoxing lifted his finger, he was about to click the simple white pink heart APP icon on the screen.
suddenly.
The icon trembled.
The pink heart opened a gap.
Li said Xing: “???”
He watched the gap getting bigger and bigger, and the pink heart opened in the screen of his phone like a pink window.
Then, a head poked out of it.
Su Mingqian poked his head out of the app. He first looked down at his hands, then lifted it up, and looked left and right on the screen, soft hair swaying gently beside his cheek.
He opened his mouth.
There is no sound.
A text bubble appeared above his head.
Su Mingqian: “Ximu, I am out.”
Su Mingqian: “Ximu, are you there~”
Then Su Mingqian squeezed out of the small window with a little effort, and landed on the browser APP located directly under the Love Bar App.
The distance between the two apps is a bit large.
His body shook for a moment, then stood firm.
Then he raised his head again and looked around.
One after another huge APP icons appeared in his sight…
