【……Where are you? 】

[I can't find you. 】

【do not leave Me……】

Whispers echoed in my ears repeatedly, seemingly never ending, mixed with looming sobs.

Ruan Mobei opened his eyes and sat up from the circular CT machine. He smoothed his messy hair, put on a black uniform jacket, and took the nameplate, work permit and smart bracelet from the table.

The red-haired girl at the side was observing the image displayed on the screen. Ruan Mobei clasped the bracelet on her wrist and leaned against her desk.

The screen of the wristband was lit, but no message was received.

Ruan Mobei frowned slightly: "I seem to hear it calling me."

"It?" The red-haired girl quickly realized what Ruan Mobei was referring to, and said in surprise, "Impossible, this is the other side of the planet, maybe you were too nervous and misheard?"

Ruan Mobei was noncommittal, but when he listened carefully, his voice disappeared: "Maybe."

"Don't be so nervous. So far, all the inspection data are normal." The girl turned off the CT image, turned around and said, "Come on, let's go to the next inspection."

The two left the CT room, the heavy lead doors closed and the lights went out.

No one knew, on all the screens that were turned off, a full moon slowly emerged, and finally turned into golden cold vertical pupils, silently watching the direction they left.

【……Got you. 】

……

Ruan Mobei finally woke up, his head was groggy, and he returned to the system space again.

The lake-blue light spots float lightly, these are the soul fragments he recovered in the last world.

Ruan Mobei couldn't remember when it appeared, was it after he entered the hibernation cabin and closed his eyes?

He couldn't help but feel regretful. He originally thought that there would be a story about waking up and reuniting again after a thousand years, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

The memory in the soul fragments is still clearly in Ruan Mobei's mind. The red-haired girl is the one he met in the story world of the virtual machine. He called her "Red".

Ruan Mobei frowned, is this really He Songming's memory?

He always felt that compared to He Songming's memory, the content in this memory fragment was more like what he had experienced.

But Ruan Mobei was convinced that that time did not exist in his 24 years of life. He had never used a smart bracelet, his work uniform was not black, he did not have a red-haired colleague, and he did not need to undergo such a detailed physical examination. .

Ruan Mobei pursed his lips, raised his hand and tapped the lake-blue light spot in front of him, just like the first two memory fragments, the light spot turned into countless fine stars, floating to every corner of the space.

Large swathes of blue appear, splashing on the soles of the feet and overhead, forming the outline of the lake and the sky.

In an instant, the entire space no longer seemed empty.

The system was floating not far away without making any sound. Ruan Mobei gathered his mood and walked over.

[Soul fragments ③ are collected, and you will get 150 points, which can be exchanged for items in the memory mall. 】

[Memory Mall, new items have been unlocked. 】

Finally having points in hand again, Ruan Mobei called out the store.

The round coins, application documents, and call records that were not purchased last time are still there, but the air worth 200 points has disappeared, replaced by "language talent" worth 100 points.

It was only then that Ruan Mobei realized that 200 points of air could be used in the previous world at that time. If he exchanged the air at that time, he would be immune to poisonous gas and would not need to wear protective clothing to act.

Really, there is not even a buying guide, how does he know...

Then this "linguistic talent" can be used in the next world, and save him a lot of trouble?

Ruan Mobei looked up at the system and asked, "Isn't He Songming in the next world human?"

"No comment."

The system replied coldly, even though he had been prepared, Ruan Mobei couldn't help but roll his eyes.

I don't know if this talent is a one-time item, or it can be used in other worlds later.

Ruan Mobei thought it over and decided to exchange it first. In case He Songming is really not a human being in the next world, and the two of them cannot communicate because of language barriers, it will be troublesome.

He spent 100 points to exchange for "language talent", and the moment he pressed [OK], a pill appeared in Ruan Mobei's hand.

Small white pills that look like ibuprofen.

Ruan Mobei put the medicine in his mouth and swallowed it dryly. The moment he swallowed it, he even thought with pleasure: Will the system lie to him that this medicine is actually a poison.

Nothing happened, and Ruan Mobei didn't feel that his English had improved, and he still couldn't pronounce the Russian tongue-licking sound.

We may have to wait until then to find out how it works.

Ruan Mobei no longer focused on language talent, but turned to look at the "application documents" that existed in the store last time.

Each document requires 20 points, and the total purchase limit is 150 copies.

He still has 50 points left on hand, and the "call record" needs 80 points, which he can't afford to change.

Ruan Mobei clicked on "Application Documents".

[Do you want to use [-] points to redeem "Application Document ([-])"? 】

【Yes】

【no】

Ruan Mobei pressed [Yes], and 20 points were deducted with a rather vivid sound of gold coins falling into the bag.

A document appeared in his hand, and on the shelf of the memory store, the purchase limit column also changed to 1/150.

A thin piece of paper, Ruan Mobei twisted vigorously to make sure that it was the only piece of paper.

He thought the document would be a lot of words, so Ruan Mobei sat cross-legged on the ground and began to read it carefully.

[During the 001-day monitoring of SIU-DW-02-152, no abnormalities were found. The results of genetic testing, behavioral testing, brain wave testing, and psychological evaluation were all normal, and there was no potential danger , so it is requested to release the surveillance and experiments on SIU-DW-001-02. 】

[Applicant: ███]

The entire application was only a short paragraph, and the applicant's name was completely blacked out without revealing a single stroke.

Ruan Mobei continued to look down——

[Application rejected. 】

There was so much content on the whole paper, Ruan Mobei frowned, he didn't know what this application had to do with his task of recovering He Songming's soul fragments.

SIU-DW-001-02 should be the code of something. He thought that in the last world, the monster in the story was imprisoned in the research institute. Could this document be about it?

But that little monster like a mountain of meat doesn't seem to be without any potential danger.

Or does this string of codes refer to someone else?

Ruan Mobei carefully studied this string of codes. SIU and DW should be the abbreviations of English phrases, and the following 001-02 are numbers. If it is just one thing, why add -02 to the end?

Maybe it's a class of things and 02 represents the second individual in it?

There were too many doubts, Ruan Mobei couldn't hold back, and exchanged another application document.

[During the 001-day monitoring of SIU-DW-02-159, no abnormalities were found. The results of genetic testing, behavioral testing, brain wave testing, and psychological evaluation were all normal, and there was no potential danger , so it is requested to release the surveillance and experiments on SIU-DW-001-02. 】

[Applicant: ███]

[Application rejected. 】

The content is exactly the same, only the monitoring time has been changed, which is one week longer than the previous one.

The applicant who was blacked out should also be the original one, but the application document was still rejected.

The twenty points seemed a little worthless.Ruan Mobei looked at 2/150 in the purchase restriction column, thinking that the remaining 148 copies would not all have exactly the same content, would they?

He didn't get much effective information, and he seemed to touch the boundary of some mysteries.

Ruan Mobei put the two documents together with He Songming's mobile phone. Now he still has 10 points on hand, plus what he will get from the next mission, he should be able to redeem two video records.

Finally relaxing again, Ruan Mobei raised his head and looked at the system.

The system exudes a shining white light, suspended in the air, and looks like a moon from a distance.

In an instant, many memories were recalled. The night he accompanied the young He Songming to escape from the stronghold was the full moon; he was poisoned by mushrooms in the jungle, and when he woke up in He Songming’s arms, he saw the full moon; deep inside the monster’s body In the darkness, he found the unconscious He Songming, holding a moon-like night light tightly in AI's hand.

And in the memory fragments just obtained, what appeared on the screen was also round and round moons.

What does this mean?

Ruan Mobei couldn't help asking: "You have a lot of things to hide from me, right?"

He didn't expect the system to answer, but the system was silent for a moment and said, "Yes."

"Why can't you tell me?"

"A lot of things can only be explored by you, and I can only play a negligible guiding role in this process. Where it will go in the end depends on your choice."

"I see." Ruan Mobei let out a long sigh of relief. Even though the system did not provide him with any useful information, he was suddenly relieved.

"I want to rest for a while." He said to the system, "Is there a bed?"

"some."

A bed appeared next to Ruan Mobei, and a bed curtain was thoughtfully added to surround it.

Ruan Mobei took off his shoes and got on the bed. He closed the curtains, and the small space was instantly pitch black with no sound at all.

This gave Ruan Mobei a sense of security, thinking that there was only one system in the whole space anyway, so he took off all his clothes and got into the quilt without any burden.

In fact, he wasn't particularly tired, and he didn't feel sleepy when he closed his eyes, but he just wanted to calm down and have a good rest.

Unlike the previous two rushes, after experiencing the adventure of the inner space, Ruan Mobei began to feel that maybe he should enjoy the process of collecting soul fragments instead of simply treating it as a task.

When separation comes, he can be less painful.

Just like the farewell to AI He Songming, although it is regrettable, it is calm and warm.

Don't worry, just go forward step by step.

……

Consciousness woke up from the chaos, and the sound of the liquid level dropping rang in my ears, and the cold cells began to revive.

Ruan Mobei opened his eyes, and the transparent cover of the hibernation chamber was opened. With the decompression sound of "poof", all the remaining liquid on his body evaporated into white gas.

Everything is so familiar.

The mechanical arm stretched out and lifted the opened nutrient solution to his lips. Ruan Mobei raised his limp hand and barely drank it.

He lay down in the hibernation cabin for a while, feeling his strength gradually recovering, and then propped his hands on the door of the cabin, and sat up slowly.

Unlike the main control room I saw last time, the space in front of me is quite small.The space of less than ten square meters has an oval shape as a whole, with densely packed and complex instrument panels in the front, a sleep cabin in the middle, refrigerators on the left and right sides, and a bathroom at the rear that can only be used by one person standing up.

In other words, there is simply no place to stay.

This place is breathtaking just looking at it.

After a good night's sleep in the system space, Ruan Mobei started collecting soul fragments and entered the next world.

The space is too small, there is nothing to observe around, Ruan Mobei moved his feet, feeling as if he touched something soft.

He lowered his head and found a brown cat curled up under his feet.

cat?

Ruan Mobei leaned down with great effort, and carefully picked up the cat. It was a short-haired cat, about six to seven catties, small in size, and it happened to be completely sunken in his arms.

Ruan Mobei caressed its soft and fluffy hair, and the anxiety that was involuntarily generated due to the small space disappeared without a trace.

Fluffy things can really make people feel happy, just like the cat in his arms and He Songming's hair. Ruan Mobei is sitting at the door of the dormant cabin. There is not even a bench here, the only thing he can use to sit or lie down This is the hibernation pod.

The cat was stroked by him, and gradually woke up from hibernation. It opened its blue-gray eyes, and Ruan Mobei's image was reflected in its round pupils, and it gave him a cute "meow".

Ruan Mobei looked at it, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

"...He Songming?" He called out tentatively.

The cat looked at him innocently, stuck out its tongue with a meowing sound, and licked his face affectionately, the barbed tongue brought a little pain.

Ruan Mobei breathed a sigh of relief, and was immediately amused by his unreliable imagination.

How could He Songming be a cat? AI can at least understand how a cat collects soul fragments?Do you make small dried fish for it, comb its hair and shovel shit every day, and use small toys to make it happy?

Different from the past, some sporadic memories appeared in his mind at this time, probably after the memory awakened after dormancy, Ruan Mobei accepted it silently, and probably understood his current situation.

He is no longer on Earth now.
