Ruan Tao leaned close to the circular window on the door of the material processing room, and was about to take a look at what it looked like inside, when the door suddenly opened by itself.

She frowned, and replied to You Ying in consciousness: [Yes, maybe you can find something by jumping directly into the fairy river, but it is also possible to directly type HE, so that we can go back to our hometown happily... I have a guess now, " "Treasure" caused the different parts of the body of those who touched the treasure to have the same activity, so their consciousness was divided, attached to the flesh and bones, to obtain employee cards, or to obtain "employee status", which is the requirement for normal life in the field It is "providing bones", renting a house should also give bones, it seems that everyone is very eager for the existence of "bones", but what we give out is not the bones they lack...]

Ruan Tao: [They have a unified exchange for human bones?Trading places?Hand over what you don't need and take away what you need?When the trading place was closed, whose bones were left behind? ]

—— Naturally, it belongs to the employees themselves.

Ruan Tao walked into the material room with his hands behind his back, and the room was filled with fog, which quickly covered the road behind him, but Ruan Tao turned around and pressed towards the door.

【Cannot open】

She raised her hand, part of the "mist" stuck to her hand, and then drifted away when she moved: "So it's mist?"

These fogs are not water vapor, but fine dust.

The skeletons could not be seen in the room, she frowned and walked forward, and soon saw the dark pool, which connected to the Xianhe River.

She lowered her head and stared at the water in a daze, and suddenly asked: "The system returns Ruan Tao's bones again and again, is it because 'her' bones can't produce consciousness at all..."

After all, Ruan Tao is Jianghuai's sub-consciousness. A normal person has a body and soul, and she is a part of the soul attached to the body.

……

2022 4 Month 7 Day.

White mist filled the air, blocking the light of the morning sun. This was another ordinary day in Xianhe Town.

Wang Ping was brushing his teeth while standing on the balcony, and noticed that the aunt on the second floor and the uncle on the first floor were arguing again——

What else could it be?

The uncle on the first floor habitually brushed his teeth in the morning, spit into the river downstairs, and then poured the water from the glass into it.

The aunt on the second floor followed suit, but she shook her hands again and spilled half a glass of water on the quilt of someone else's house. The uncle was naturally unhappy, and after a few arguments, the aunt got into a fight with him instead. After doing this, they splashed other people's clothes a few times, and the two of them were so angry that they quarreled every day.

Wang Ping shook his head, stretched his waist facing the sparkling river in front of him, and took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling much better in his heart.

Grandma has already woken up and is cooking. Seeing him coming in to help, she waved her hand casually: "Go, go and call Taotao to get up, I don't need you here."

Wang Ping smiled at first, but when he stood at the door of the bedroom, his heart ached slightly. He knocked on the door, and within a few seconds, he heard a sound from inside the door. Then, a beautiful woman opened the door, neatly dressed and without makeup. , but more radiant than any woman with makeup that Wang Ping has ever seen, this should be... a natural beauty?

He lowered his voice, like coaxing a child: "Tao Tao, come and have breakfast."

"Taotao" moved her eyes, glanced at him, and sat silently at the table.

Wang Ping had long been used to her reaction, so he didn't take it seriously. When grandma wasn't paying attention, he hurried into the bedroom and took out his quilt and pillow from the bathtub, and faked the illusion that they were sleeping together on the bedroom bed.

Grandma thought Taotao was Wang Ping's girlfriend.

Wang Ping... Wang Ping thought so too.

Just... on an unknown day, he suddenly had a girlfriend.

Not "have", but "more".

That is, when you are walking on the road, someone suddenly appears and says that he is your girlfriend, and then the whole world, passers-by, family members, and colleagues all think so, and you think so too.

It's like "your girlfriend" is a fixed identity, you don't know her past, her character at all, but you accept this fact without doubt.

Wang Ping didn't notice any abnormalities at first, but his girlfriend "Ruan Tao" had too many abnormalities.

Taotao is an intern of the company, and there are three other people who entered the company with her, but she is the most beautiful and the most eye-catching, so she is the one who is favored the most—it was like this.

Later, when Ruan Tao and Wang Ping dated, she seemed to suddenly become lazy, unwilling to work hard, and was squeezed out by other employees, so Wang Ping silently did her work.

Ruan Tao didn't want to live in a hotel paid for by the company, so Wang Ping invited her to stay at home, let her sleep in the bed, and went to the bathroom by himself.

But Ruan Tao still had an abnormality that couldn't be ignored - she was a little... dumb?

Compared with the other three interns, Ruan Tao looks too dull, just like now——

Grandma and Taotao were chatting, and asked her kindly what she likes to eat.

Ruan Tao replied like this: "I like sweets, because I should like them, and it's okay if I don't eat them, and I won't die if I don't eat them."

Grandma was at a loss: "No way, baby, if you have to eat, you will starve your body to death..."

Wang Ping hastily interjected to change the topic, not letting grandma continue to ask.

After eating, he finally breathed a sigh of relief - because he didn't decide whether to let his grandma know that something was wrong with Ruan Tao.

The other party does "like sweets", "likes to wear skirts", "likes big dogs", but these likes are like settings, and she is like a doll who follows the settings - Wang Ping remembers that he went to school in Beijing When I was young, I heard that some people like to raise "dolls", that is, dolls, make up stories for them, and treat them like family members, but after all, they are made up, not real, Ruan Tao... It's like those dolls have become Refined!

He trembled, and felt that he might be thinking too much.

Maybe Ruan Tao just has a certain mental illness?

Lets see.

After breakfast, Wang Ping took Ruan Tao out the door. Just in time, the door of the next room was also opened, and there were two other interns in the company, "Zuo Yao" and "Qi Yuan".

The two greeted Wang Ping with a smile: "Brother Wang, good morning."

Wang Ping also greeted them, and the four went out with their companions.

Zuo Yao and Qi Yuan are renting next door. It is said that they are friends. However, after hearing that they only rented one room, the company spread the word: "The two of them...are they in a relationship? Otherwise How could it be possible to rent only one room? Saving money is not that easy, it must be two young couples."

The two of Zuo Yao didn't refute either, Wang Ping looked at them, but felt that they seemed to be just normal friends, not very close, but with a certain degree of trust.

He is very sensitive to emotions and thinks he is right.

As a result, when we arrived at the company, the manager happened to check in at the front, glanced at the two of them, and joked with a smile: "Hey, I'm stuck between two groups of couples as a light bulb, you guys, when you get married, you must treat me to a drink .”

Wang Ping smiled, but found that Zuo Yao and Qi Yuan did not refute, they looked at each other, there was still no love in their eyes, but their hands were pulled together.

—they intertwined their fingers.

Wang Ping: "...?"

In the evening, with the continuous congratulations from everyone in the company, the relationship between Zuo Yao and the two of them actually seemed sweet and sticky.

In the evening, they proudly announced: "Yes, we have been in love for a long time... We have been talking since we rented a house together... Please have dinner tonight to celebrate the announcement..."

Wang Ping noticed that some gossiping colleagues in the company nodded frequently, as if saying with their eyes: Yes, I guessed right!

He suddenly felt his scalp go numb.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Ruan Tao——

Ruan Tao was still staring at the computer in a daze, and the report on the computer was empty, only a line of form name was typed.

She turned her head, neither fast nor slow: "I don't like working."

Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and said in a low voice, "Then you can play a game... I made the form for you."

When it was time to get off work, another person who "didn't like to work" also appeared, Su Hong.

But she prefers others to call herself "Su Hongque".

This person is also an intern who joined the company at the same time as Ruan Tao and the others, but I don't know what happened to his family... Has he become a regular in advance?

After becoming a full-time employee, she always came late and left early, and the manager couldn't understand her, but there was nothing he could do about it. Wang Ping didn't understand the intrigue in such a small company. Su Hong's family was rich at first glance, so why did she go to their small company? company?

When Su Hong came in, she quarreled with the manager first, then walked behind Ruan Tao who was playing Spider Solitaire, and suddenly kicked her stool.

Ruan Tao turned her head, still without any expression on her face, while Wang Ping, who was sitting next door, was already nervous.

"You guy..." Su Hong narrowed her eyes, "Is it really from our company? Did we really recruit her?" She scanned all the colleagues and raised her voice, "Hey, who recruited this guy? ?”

The manager who usually choked with Su Hong stopped talking at this time, as if he had forgotten how he once praised Ruan Tao for how well he did his first project... Yes, Wang Ping's forehead twitched. How did the manager praise him at that time? Woolen cloth?Why can't he remember anything?

——It's as if she doesn't remember how Ruan Tao became her girlfriend.

He wanted to open his mouth to argue for Ruan Tao, saying that Su Hong was bullying in the workplace, and you just became a full-time professional, so why bully Ruan Tao?

But he couldn't speak.

Because he found that he agreed with Su Hong's words from the bottom of his heart.

Colleagues around started whispering, just like how they talked about Zuo Yao and Qi Yuan before, now they started talking about Ruan Tao——

"Yeah, is it just because you look good..."

"There is no need for trash in the company, I see her playing there every day..."

"Actually, if you look closely, you don't look very good-"

Wang Ping couldn't take it anymore, who said the last sentence!

Even if Ruan Tao is a trash, she is also a trash beauty!

He opened his mouth and made a futile breath: "—"

Su Hong continued amidst the discussions: "Resign her."

resign...

resign...

Su Hong: "Anyway, during the internship period, if you fail the internship, you will be dismissed directly?"

Others seem to want to nod.

But Wang Ping couldn't help it: "No..."

Ruan Tao cannot be dismissed, because if she is dismissed...

There is nowhere to go.

Wang Ping heard the voices of his colleagues again, they thought "okay", "good", "what does the manager think?", but what about Ruan Tao?This guy didn't care, he was still playing Spider Solitaire.

She dragged the cards that were dealt out of order to the correct position, reclassified the chaotic cards one by one, clicked the mouse, and the cards were sorted one by one and received in the corner.

Wang Ping stared at her for a long time, but she didn't turn her head to look at herself.

He was helpless and lost, and he knew in his heart... If it was Ruan Tao, he would not turn his head, because she was like that, like a doll.

The manager stood in front of him, considered his tone, and seemed to want to speak, but the rest of Wang Ping's sentence was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say it.

He stood up abruptly, but everyone lowered their heads, like worker bees immersed in their work, as if they had no interest in what he had to say.

Ruan Tao cannot be dismissed, because if she is dismissed...

Just the status of "Wang Ping's girlfriend" is not enough for her to stay in the town.

This status is not enough.

Wang Ping's legs trembled, as if he suddenly understood the essence of this world.

——This is the "perfect world", I thought, and everything will come true.

The world is what you think the world is, but your will goes against the will of others, so you only obey the will of the majority.

Colleagues think that Zuo Yao and the others are lovers, so they become lovers, but they were just partners; the Xianhe outside was stinky when he was in elementary school, but now it is clear and transparent; the work they are doing It has been stopped a long time ago, because of the company's financial problems and the incident of jumping off the building, but now the work continues, and the jumping off the building seems to have never happened; and he himself, anxious day and night because of work problems, has not had a happy time with his grandma for a long time. After breakfast, it was clear that he came back to his hometown to work to accompany his grandmother, so he broke up with his girlfriend from college...but his grandmother kept nagging, saying that he wanted to see him get married and have children, so they had a fight, and he How did you forget this?

But in the whole world, "Ruan Tao" is not perfect. Wang Ping found that the consciousness of all of them was rounded and flattened, and they were no longer like himself. Only Ruan Tao, she has not changed at all-she just wants to go to work Fishing in the free time is to occupy a bed to sleep alone, and to say "like" and "dislike" outright.

She is the only variable in the whole world, the opposite of everything that comes true.

The others were plasticine, but she was a stone mixed in plasticine.

He found out, but it was too late. He saw that the picture in front of him began to distort, and he seemed to fly up. He looked at the sky above the picture... He heard the manager say: "Su Hong, you Don't go too far, how about this, Ruan Tao will be in charge of the construction of the city government building, for the little girl...it must be a bit tiring, you have to watch on the spot, but this way you don't have to meet each other."

Wang Ping wanted to say, "No way!"

The former interns, like Su Hong, stayed in the head office and worked on the fourth floor, and those who failed to become regulars went to build the building... But where is the building?

Wang Ping's sight penetrated the wall, penetrated the picture layer, and saw a bone mountain.

With white bones as the building material, countless white bones are piled up, and there are huge seaweed-like blood vessels growing under the white bones, absorbing the nutrients of the bones.

But he couldn't say, the picture faded, Zuo Yao in the picture was smiling, Su Hong was expressionless, and Ruan Tao was still playing the game, as if he didn't hear it at all.

The boss in the picture comes to work in the company for a while, jumps off the company upstairs, smashes his head into a watermelon with a slap, and the lady boss melts suddenly while walking on the road.

Some guys dressed as soldiers walked toward Bone Mountain with blank eyes, but Wang Ping could no longer see what happened behind him. He felt his consciousness merged into the sea, being squeezed by countless people of his kind... Soon, soon, he will lose himself completely.

At the last moment, he saw Ruan Tao raised her head, her eyes seemed to penetrate the barrier between emptiness and emptiness, and projected on her body, she said:

I found it.

Ruan Tao just jumped off the pool without any protection on her body.

It was pitch black below, she couldn't see anything, but she could feel it.

In the beginning, it was the skull that detached, a detachment like a sudden disappearance, and then various parts of the whole body, in no particular order. Then, she didn't know where her bones went, but she could feel her body in the water. Pushing upwards, the consciousness is slowly peeling off from this body.

A whole deboned chicken, if it was alive when it was deboned, should feel the same as she does now.

But Ruan Tao is Ruan Tao after all, or Jiang Huai is Jiang Huai after all... His self-consciousness is definitely more stripped than the number of times he is stripped now, and he has rich experience.

The stripped consciousness is still an indivisible whole, because of Jiang Huai's golden skill [Distraction], if he doesn't distract himself, Ruan Tao's consciousness is inseparable... Is that so?

He took the initiative to let go of the protection, felt his consciousness being squeezed and split, part of the bone was chasing the falling bone, so the bone became a complete human bone without external help, and the other part returned to the body, and then the body was covered by the river water Spit out, lying on the ground of the material processing room, Jiang Huai watched coldly, and found that Ruan Tao's memory of jumping down had disappeared, and he pushed the door open in a daze, this time the door was no longer in the state of [unable to open], She went outside and regained a little clarity.

As for the falling skeleton, there is a thin layer of flesh at the toes.

Outside, You Ying spread out his hand, the palm of which was Ruan Tao's toe bone.

Jiang Huai was silent for a while, and synchronized the erased memory to the current Ruan Tao.

Ruan Tao: [...This is too much. ]

Jiang Huai: [And the connection between you and the part of the consciousness on the bone has been cut off, but I can still get in touch. ]

The skeleton fell to the bottom of the pool.

Jianghuai: [Ah, I can't contact you now. ]

Ruan Tao: […]

Jiang Huai clearly remembered that the pool on the fourth floor was connected to the river, but the last picture from his consciousness showed that there was a bottom there.

Looking up from the bottom of the pool, he seemed to see countless densely packed, numb souls.

I found it.

The skeleton at the bottom of the water suddenly stood up, it is now Jianghuai, but it has nothing, without the help of its companion (self), it stands alone underwater.

[You get the main task: All wishes come true]

[Mission description: Only what you think can come true. You discovered the essence of "Xianhe Water". Under the influence of an unknown substance, the water of Xianhe overflowed upwards, and gained part of the power to realize your wish, but this part of the power needs river water as the carrier. It is the truth that the river swallows the town.

Let Xianhe Town become a normal Xianhe Town, please break everyone's wish (delusion)】

[Task Reward: Empty Wish Bottle (Purple)]

It stood underwater, but it knew that it was actually standing on land, and the town of Xianhe was under its feet.

It's just that when they drove into Xianhe Town, their consciousness was divided into two halves.

The world of "All wishes come true" is the underwater world, which is the collective consciousness world of all people. It does not actually exist. Some of them are in the world where all wishes come true, and are gradually assimilated by this world, while the other part is "above the water" In this world, we can only watch as the water overflows and the towns sink. In fact, they are still being assimilated, the only difference is the speed.

It has nothing now, but it still has itself.

It divides its own consciousness again... Divides, divides into countless pieces.

Then, it knows...it wants to get what it wants.

——Explode this conscious world with chaotic and concentrated consciousness groups.

2022年4月7日早11:19。

Ruan Tao sat up propped up on the ground, and in front of her was a town covered in thick fog, Xianhe Town.

She looked down and noticed that she was sitting on the grass with a piece of paper under her feet.

She picked up the piece of paper, and there was a line written on the paper:

"April [-], [-], the sixth day, number [-], alive."
