flying switch

"morning."

Zhong Rong walked into the elevator and nodded to Jiu who was waiting for him: "Morning."

[-] wore an official uniform and pressed down the number of floors: "Who will come first to the training?"

"You," Zhong Rong looked over, "I may have to wait a long time."

[-] reached out and pinched the back of his neck to comfort him, "Don't worry, the six days have just begun."

The elevator ascended rapidly and stopped steadily at the destination.The elevator door opened, and the holographically modified safe house was revealed in front of the two of them.

The large living room is converted into a special training venue, and four reclining chairs that can be scaled and dragged form a cross around the cylindrical mechanical device.A crystal ball is placed in the center of the device, which can be activated when connected to a power source.A status-monitoring dashboard is attached to the chair and leads all the way to a prominent red button on the unit.

"The red button is the emergency exit button. Press it as soon as the instrument panel turns red, and I can wake up." [-] fixed himself on the recliner, "The green button is the open button, press it and I will enter the illusion."

Zhong Rong nodded: "Are you ready?"

"Get ready," [-] closed his eyes and relaxed on the recliner, "let's start counting down."

"Ten seconds countdown—ten, nine, eight, seven...two, one."

The green button was pressed with a "click", and [-]'s body sank indistinctly, falling into an illusion.

Zhong Rong immediately dragged the window of the instrument panel to his eyes and stared at the data on it.The data is all normal, even in a good state, and it can be seen intuitively that the illusion has little influence on 10.In just [-] minutes, less than [-] opened his eyes, but Zhong Rong was the one who looked more anxious. He sweated a lot and his breathing was very short.

Positions swapped, instrument panels rapidly approaching warnings.

"Stop for a moment," 5 walked back again, and gently unfastened the fixing belt, "Let's rest for [-] minutes before starting again."

Zhong Rong gritted his teeth angrily: "I'm sorry."

"What's there to be sorry about?" [-] raised his head, "This is just a treasure hunt now, isn't it more important to enjoy the process? Don't push yourself too much."

"But I want to succeed," Zhong Rong clenched his fists, "It's so embarrassing to lose to a certain stat in the game."

[-] blinked: "It makes sense."

"I am overloaded in the illusion. The instrument panel will tell you that you will pull me out. I will not be trapped in the illusion," Zhong Rong exhaled slowly, "and the illusion is all desire, it is not a nightmare, I don't need it To be afraid of it, I just have to get out of it."

"Waking up from a dream is more difficult than waking up from a nightmare," 10 sat aside, "Let's take it slowly, every [-] minutes the system will automatically push you a customized and unreasonable thing into your account." The illusion serves as a reminder to prevent you from being unable to recognize the illusion. When you recognize the illusion, try to wake up as quickly as possible.”

Zhong Rong nodded seriously: "Help me time."

"No problem." Nine glanced at the instrument panel, stood up and walked towards the device, "You can start the first training when you are ready."

"Oh yes," he added, "For reference, my illusion this time is not much different from yesterday's."

Zhong Rong nodded again, let out a sigh of relief, and closed his eyes: "I'm ready."

"That's the countdown. Ten...three, two, one."

"Whoa--"

"Boom—"

Zhong Rong stood blankly in the rain, shivering uncontrollably from the cold rain.Trembling, he stepped on the rain and saw the light in the distance.

Water splashed on the side of the road, Zhong Rong ran close to the light and saw its whole picture.There is a lamp hanging beside the huge door, and under the lamp stands a woman in black with an umbrella.Behind the door is the hillside, hidden in darkness and rain, making it hard to see.

"Rong Rong!"

The woman in black smiled and opened her arms to Zhong Rong: "Why did you come here by yourself? Is it cold?"

Zhong Rong got into her arms all of a sudden, and the blurred memory ran across his mind, and he said smoothly: "I'm in a hurry, has the result come out from the hospital?"

"It's gone, mom is fine," the woman smiled, and handed him the medical record. "It's just a small problem. What are you worrying about? You're going to high school soon, don't you prepare well?"

"High school..." Zhong Rong looked down, and his reflection in the stagnant water also looked over.He tilted his head, and his reflection with a cropped cut also tilted his head.He wondered oddly: "Did I always look like this?"

"Rong Rong?" The woman stopped and turned around, "What are you doing?"

"Come, come," he ran wildly, "Where are we going?"

The umbrella tilted towards him, Zhong Rong unconsciously followed the woman for a long distance, the woman pointed to the front: "Going to buy vegetables, there is no food at home."

Zhong Rong nodded and looked at Liangtang's vegetable market: "Where do you want to go in the future?"

"No, where do you want to go?"

"Where are you going..." Zhong Rong saw the game console in the corner of the vegetable market from the corner of his eye, and felt that something was wrong, "Is there a game console over there?"

The woman patted him on the back: "I'm going to be a high school student soon, and I haven't played games before. It's ridiculous. Want to play for a while?"

"What's wrong with high school students, I don't like playing...games," Zhong Rong paused, "Why would I say that, it's so strange."

"Then you have to start thinking about the future. If you don't love anything, you will be very distressed." The woman said while picking vegetables at the vegetable stand.

"Usually you have to go to college, right?"

"Do you want to go? What major?"

"I have no idea……"

"..."

"what?"

"Huh?" The woman looked over in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I seem to hear someone calling me." Zhong Rong felt more and more uneasy, and approached the woman uncomfortably, "Didn't you hear?"

The woman was stunned: "I didn't hear you? What are you calling?"

"Call me..." Zhong Rong pricked up his ears to listen, and heard a hazy voice that seemed to come from the fog.

"……bell……"

"...no clock..."

"...no clock!"

"Call me Wuzhong?" Zhong Rong said.

"No Bell?" The woman teased, "When did you change your name?"

"That's right," Zhong Rong frowned, breathing quickly, "How could I be Wu Zhong..."

what.

Rainy Night Tombstone, Flying Switch, [-], Alai, Moon, and myself as No Bell.

Suddenly, Zhong Rong remembered everything.Zhong Rong opened his eyes wide, looked at his mother in front of him, and shivered suddenly: "...This is not true."

"Huh?" The woman blinked in confusion.

"This is not real," Zhong Rong said with a bitter voice, "This is not real, this is just an illusion."

"Why are you just talking nonsense today?" The woman raised her hand and patted his forehead. "Go home and take your temperature. Don't get caught in the rain and have a fever."

He has to get out of here.

Zhong Rong thought over and over again, but looking at the woman's back, he couldn't lift his foot to leave.

If this is true, if the mother really took out the medical record with nothing on that day, if they happily bought vegetables and discussed after that day...if the mother is still so vivid in front of him.

——He could have taken a step forward and pretended not to realize that this was an illusion, even if he stayed for another minute.Only 1 minute should...

——He just told [-] that he doesn't want to lose to the data, this is training, you have to wake up to wake up.

——He has not seen such a clear mother for a long time, just stay for 1 minute...

——One minute after another, he won't be able to wake up.

One step forward, or one step back.

How to do?

"Rong Rong?"

The rain was pouring on the plastic roof, crackling.Zhong Rong gritted his teeth, teary, struggling painfully between the two options.

Qian Shuichong stood in front of the instrument panel, looking worriedly at Wuzhong.The indicators on the instrument board began to soar in a dangerous direction, and the card was floating uncomfortably at the critical point.He has one hand hanging over the red button, ready to press it at any time.

The moment the warning surfaced, Wuzhong let out a whimper, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Qian Shuichong heaved a sigh of relief, put down his hand that had already touched the red button, and walked towards Wuzhong with a tissue: "The result is good, a little more than an hour, and it has improved a lot compared to the witch."

Wu Zhong wiped away tears silently: "It's still too slow."

He sat there with his head bowed, Qian Shuichong couldn't bear it: "Then you want to do it again?"

Wu Zhong nodded: "I can't react immediately after seeing the prompt, at least I have to practice until I see it."

"There's still time, take your time?" Qian Shuichong persuaded, "Take a rest first, go out and find a task to practice your hands."

Wuzhong shook his head, raised his eyes and looked at him: "Do it again, and then send out the mission."

Qian Shuichong sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's do it again."

Wu Zhong closed his eyes and lay down: "I'm ready."

"It's counting down." Qian Shuichong looked away, and pressed the green button when the countdown was over.

Falling into an illusion without a clock, all the data on the instrument panel are optimized.No matter what this illusion is, it must be the most comfortable dream for Wuzhong. It is very difficult to get out of it quickly without system prompts in just a few days.

Perhaps the system prompt can be independently invaded, carried with you, and will be activated as long as you fall into the illusion.

Qian Shuichong opened the group message: Can push notifications be made into props to carry around?

He told his thoughts, and it didn't take long for Alai to reply with a series of words: You reminded me, I will study and study later, and I can probably make a finished product in six days, but because the illusion belongs to official data, unknown things are a bit There are many, so it will not be perfect, and there may be bugs.But I will try to optimize it!With MOON, she's amazing, so you should be able to rest easy!

Qian Shuichong smiled, thanked Alai, and began to wait for Qi Wuzhong to wake up again.

In less than an hour, the instrument panel issued another warning, and Qian Shuichong stood up abruptly, staring closely at Wuzhong.Wu Zhong frowned, and his whole body was tense, similar to the state when he woke up last time.

He couldn't get used to it, even if he did countless trainings, it just speeded up the speed of getting out, it didn't make him really get used to it, and he walked out of the illusion without any emotional ups and downs.

It's not good news, the overloaded training in this way may make him collapse.

Wu Zhong opened his eyes, Qian Shuichong went over to help him untie the fixing belt: "That's it for today."

Wuzhong hoarse: "How long did I use it?"

"53 minutes," Qian Shuichong said, "but your state is on the verge of collapse."

"No, it's still too slow, I have to..."

"Wuzhong," Qian Shuichong raised his head solemnly, "You can't get used to breaking the illusion now, you are collapsing, you are not suitable for this 'training' for a long time."

"You don't understand," Wu Zhong wiped away tears, "This is something I have been avoiding in reality, I..."

"Some things can be avoided. Just because you can't face it now doesn't mean you won't be able to face it in the future." Qian Shuichong wiped the tears from Wu Zhong's chin, "Six days are very short, but you still have a long time to face this matter Long, you don’t need to make yourself suffer for the game. Flying Switch should be a utopia for us. We should heal our wounds here instead of creating scars for ourselves over and over again. Moreover, even if there are only two training sessions a day, it can be shortened a lot. For a long time, you will wake up within 10 minutes in the end, don't press too much, beware of the opposite effect."

Wu Zhong sniffed quietly, then nodded in agreement after a while.

"We are now going to pick up the task and do other training. The competition is not only the challenge of fantasy, but the most important thing is the competition with other contestants." Qian Shuichong stood up and stretched out his hand to Wuzhong, "Let's go, let me see Let's see if you have stepped back."

Wu Zhong laughed through his tears: "I have not regressed."

"You don't have to say anything about this matter," Qian Shuichong shrugged, and took a tissue to let Wu Zhong dry his face, "Put on the mask and goggles, we don't teleport, and the game goes to the alley bar, and by the way, test the skateboards and motorcycles Which one is more powerful after upgrading."

"Beware of losing," Wu Zhong raised his eyebrows provocatively, and put on the goggles on the top of the mask, "My skateboard is not ordinary after upgrading."

Qian Shuichong switched his motorcycle to an official skin, walked into the elevator first, and pressed the button on the top floor: "Oh? I am very confident."

"That's right." Wu Zhong stood behind him, watching him press the buttons.

The elevator door closed quickly, Wu Zhong suddenly hugged him gently.Qian Shuichong was a little surprised, but he still held Wu Zhong's hand on his chest: "Wu Zhong?"

Wu Zhong lowered his head and bumped his shoulder with his forehead: "Thank you."

The voice is very soft, but very sincere.Qian Shuichong smiled knowingly, tilted his head and touched Wuzhong's head with his ear: "It's okay."

"Okay," Wu Zhong let go of him, took out the skateboard, rushed out first after the elevator door opened, stepped on the skateboard and turned back, "Come on!"

The engine hums.

The neon lights flickered, and the white light of the motorcycle body and the blue light of the skateboard tail lingered in the afterimage. In the blink of an eye, only the empty top floor could be seen. The two people who had been staying on the eaves had gone to nowhere.
