Homecoming through online games

=====================

In the study room of Ye Mu's residence, an invisible devil energy fluctuated.

It already has an answer.

Stripped of the influence of memory and emotion, the only thing left is experience.

Gather the magic energy when the meteorite breaks, take out the magic seed when the elephant goes mad, help the army when it is in action, and respond when it receives contact...

That was the action he made when he mistook himself as "Ye Mu", and it was also the action and choice of "it".

It is becoming "he".

The memory with "Ye Mu" as the main body emerged and took shape, other miscellaneous memories poured in like quicksand, and the magic energy re-condensed into a human form, "Ye Mu" opened his eyes.

It still feels a little strange to realize that all kinds of memories and feelings are not strictly speaking my own.After breaking away from the feeling of looking down from above, everything is so real and clear, as if it is indeed his own personal experience and feelings.

But all he has are memories and feelings.

The alien world with Jiang Wang and Liu Ling belongs to the "real" Ye Mu.

——The human Ye Mu who is separated from him by a wall and who knows nothing about the future at this moment.

A few hours later, that person will encounter a "traversal" and enter the demonized state in the future in another world. Due to some inexplicable connection between the demon species, this part is transmitted. As "Ye Mu" memory.

——What is transmitted is only the memory, the "real" Ye Mu still exists in that world.

He suddenly wanted to go to the next room and beat up Ye Mu who was close at hand.

Of course, just think about it.

Suppressing the feeling of loss in his heart, he forced himself to turn his attention back to the realistic plan.

His original goal was to find a way to travel back to another world, but now there is no need for this.

But he can still observe the time travel of "Ye Mu" and understand the connection between this phenomenon and the demon species.

And I don't know what will happen to the human body left in this world after "Ye Mu" travels through.Perhaps he can replace the real identity of "Ye Mu" from now on, and truly live in this world as Ye Mu.

Anyway, the "self" in another world has decided to stay in that world.

Controlling emotional fluctuations and thinking rationally is the best way to "coexist".

Don't think about how to snatch the opportunity to cross.Don't regard "Ye Mu" as an enemy.

It took him a moment to convince himself.

...there is no need to choose the worst possible solution.

As night fell, "Ye Mu" lay on the bed, falling asleep on time as usual.

He stood at the end of the bed, quietly waiting.

Before the mutation happened, he observed the "omen".

Among the five meteorite points sensed, the sense of one spot that had not changed much before suddenly weakened.

At the same time, an invisible fluctuation swept from Mingming's induction.

Like waves oscillating, the tidal fluctuations become more intense each time, the force of impact and drag appears alternately, as if suddenly being thrown onto a large pendulum running at high speed in an amusement park, similar to the effect of weightlessness Next, he staggered.

The originally gathered demonic energy exploded and spread, oscillating with the fluctuations, and at a certain highest point, it suddenly collapsed towards the entertainment room to a point that was barely visible to the naked eye.

The next moment, the vortex bloomed through the wall.

At the same time as the powerful attraction came from the vortex, in the induction, with this indescribable connection, he noticed a new induction point from some place that was more distant and untraceable.

——A total of four, new induction points.

In this strong fluctuation, the moment he sensed it, he received a weak feedback fragment.

It was distorted and broken, several flashing images.

——Somewhere in a dark and open place, the ground is engraved with glowing complex lines and patterns, and there is a half-open coffin in the center, and someone can be vaguely seen inside, a girl with blue long hair is kneeling nearby, another Standing sideways was a man with short blond hair.Farther away, there was another man half-hidden in the shadows.

From his figure, he recognized the man in the distance as the adult Ye Cang.From this, it can be deduced that the blond man may be Zhen Lei Qing Guang.

——On the tawny wasteland, the setting sun is like blood.Qing Guang, dressed in splendid clothes, looked solemnly at the void, and a shambling figure could be vaguely seen in the distance.

He is very familiar with this place, and he has recalled it many times to deepen his impression.That was the place in his memory where he traveled to another world, the ancient battlefield.

——If there is a substantial torrent of magic energy converging into a vortex, a figure is vaguely revealed in the vortex.A girl in military uniform is running, and in front of her is a man in black armor holding two knives and staring at the whirlpool.

... Ye Nuan, Jiang Wang.

——There are familiar glowing lines engraved on the ground, and several figures stand scattered on it.

Before he could see it clearly, the picture quickly disappeared.

These pictures flashed, and all kinds of subconscious thoughts were just a moment.He noticed that as the vortex took shape, the attraction from it was increasing.The devilish energy in the whole body is about to move and go straight to the vortex, and even the edges of the condensed body begin to fluctuate.He resisted this suction, and suddenly felt something detached from "Ye Mu" on the bed, and plunged into the whirlpool.

But the vortex did not calm down, instead it vibrated irregularly and violently, and as the unseen fluctuations receded, it faintly collapsed.

Although he didn't know what this situation meant, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.Gritting his teeth, he stopped resisting the suction with all his strength, separated a part of the magic energy, and watched it rush into the vortex.

It wasn't until most of the magic energy was absorbed by the vortex that it stabilized and disappeared suddenly.The fluctuations in the dark also subsided.

Just when he thought everything was finally over, a certain power that seemed familiar suddenly appeared and escaped into the body of "Ye Mu" on the bed.

He froze for a moment, and walked quickly to the bedside to observe the state of the person on the bed.

"Ye Mu" seemed to be sleeping soundly, with a peaceful and relaxed expression.

After thinking for a moment, he tried to wake it up.There was no response from the other party.

No abnormalities were perceived.He looked at the sleeping face for a while and made a decision.

He stretched out his hand, and the magic gauntlet melted into it when it touched the skin of the person on the bed, maintaining a half-bent posture, and his whole body was "absorbed" by the person on the bed like running water.

Just like the crazy elephant, and the researcher he saw in his memory, as a monster, he can choose a "host" and fuse with it.

It was getting brighter.The sun shines through the curtains, and a faint light shines on the bed.

When Ye Mu woke up, he realized what the extra power was.

It was a memory.

When Qingguang forcibly terminated the contract, he paid it as a price, but because of the mutual repulsion of aura and magic energy, he drifted away. Finally, under the guidance of the power of the contract, Ye Mu, who is a "human", received the memory.

The most important thing for Qingguang is the memory of the "Tianyan Bagua Formation" in the long time.

Ye Mu sat up from the bed.The human body is a bit heavy, but this "human" heaviness brings a certain sense of stability.

He took no action for the time being, and settled down to sort out the memories from Qingguang.

The Tianyan Eight Diagrams Formation and the demon energy repelled by it are in a relationship of ebb and flow.

There are two ways to activate the Tianyan Bagua Formation.

First, the six spirits work together to arouse the aura of heaven and earth.

Second, when the demon energy in the world grows to a certain level, the formation will automatically operate.

What Qingguang tried was to use the connection between the natural spirits and the formation to affect the operation of the Tianyan Eight Diagrams Formation by weakening the natural spirits, so that the magic energy would skyrocket after the suppression of the formation was weakened, thus triggering the autonomy of the Tianyan Eight Diagrams Formation. reaction.

In the experiment where the "devil god" was summoned, the three natural spirits unreservedly infused aura into the corpse of Lihuo's deceased lover.On the one hand, it is to induce the formation to revive the dead.On the other hand, it is also an attempt to create a "natural spiritual creature" through this move, and transfer the connection between Kanshui and the formation to it.

Qingguang has collected a lot of information about Tianyan Bagua Formation over the years, and conducted various tests on it. This is the most radical method, but the result is not satisfactory.Instead of becoming a natural spirit, the revived corpse turned into a corpse soldier.

Having said that, for Ye Mu, this memory helped him understand the various arrangements of the Tianyan Bagua Formation more clearly and comprehensively.It was a windfall.

Bring your attention back to reality.After Ye Mu got up, he walked around the room to adjust to his body.He took a new toothbrush, threw away the old toothbrush, finished washing according to memory, placed an order for running errands to buy medicine on his mobile phone, changed into clothes that were more convenient for him to move around, settled for breakfast simply, and picked up the delivery staff with a pale face. The painkillers were delivered, and seeing that the time was almost up, I called the company and asked for sick leave.

After reading the drug instructions, I took out two doses of pills and threw them into the toilet to flush them down.Putting on his gloves, Ye Mu walked into the study room, connected the printer to the office laptop, canceled the scheduled email sending that was set yesterday, took out a stack of brand new A4 printing paper, sat down at the desk, pulled out the pen, and started writing Gu Xingyan's research notes were recorded page by page in his mind.

This is not so much a record, but more like a redrawing. He manipulated the notes in his memory to appear on the desktop, overlapped with the paper in front of him, and quickly traced the writing on the paper with the tip of the pen.

Ye Mu stopped writing after writing a line, dissatisfied with such efficiency.He found the ink bottle and unscrewed the cap, staring at the image of the note in front of him that only he could see, and after drawing out a wisp of magic energy to make the words on it more solid, he took off the glove on his right hand.

The sleeve on his right suddenly collapsed softly, and then rose up again, twisting out an arc that violated the structure of the human body.Several slender branches spewed out from the cuffs, becoming tougher and stronger in mid-air, and more branches split and fell from it.Those branches absorbed the ink lightly, followed the subtle traces of magic energy and landed on the paper, leaving a little black ink stain while absorbing the magic energy.The dense branches are dazzling, but they are very flexible, do not interfere with each other, and are in order.

A few seconds later, those branches fell to the side quietly, Ye Mu picked up the page, the content on it seemed to have copied the notes in the memory image, even the subtle turning points of the handwriting were exact.

Use the automatic scanning function of the printer to scan the copied notes into the computer, and then the contents of the entire note were processed in the same way. After more than an hour, Ye Mu completed this somewhat boring "entry" work.The branches rustled back into the cuffs, and the human palm stretched out again.

He took out a wet wipe and carefully wiped off the black ink stained on his fingers, put on his gloves again, relaxed his shoulders, and let out a sigh of relief.

After copying all the content into the USB flash drive, Ye Mu paused for a second, and changed the name of the file package to "Gu Xingyan's Notes".

This is the last email he intends to send to Academician Liu in the near future.In Gu Xingyan’s notes, there are a large number of data records derived from human experiments. This matter may not be obvious from the various key information he extracted and sent before, but after sending the re-enacted notes in full, he believes that professionals can understand them at a glance. Can see the problem.This will undoubtedly increase the vigilance of the other party and the assessment of their own danger.Before, he only wanted to go back to another world, but now he wants to live here for a long time. For safety reasons, he will not use this contact email address unless necessary.

A bird flew over a branch and devoured a strange-looking bug in one bite.

It continued to fly across the city, landed outside the window of a house, picked up a small USB flash drive, and flew away with wings.

It flew halfway across the city and landed on another ledge.

In the apparently empty room, an invisible person opened the window and took the USB drive.

The window was closed, and the bird suddenly puffed up its feathers, screamed, and flew away in panic.

After releasing the Gu worm's control over the wild birds, Ye Mu borrowed a computer to send an email to Academician Liu at this new randomly selected location.

He rejected the other party's offer of cooperation, but sent the complete note file.

I believe that with the strength of the country, every bit of usability can be discovered.

And he intends to silence this unknown identity.No trace of activity is left.

After erasing all traces, next, act as a human being.

——A "human being" who inexplicably absorbed the demon seed and some of its memory information.

Back home, showing his figure, he stood in front of the window, looking into the distance.

At the end of the sky that no one can see, there are layers of gray smoke floating.

The magic energy is about to spread here.

Country Z, Morning, Research Center of City G, Province G

Received emails are opened immediately.

After some analysis and discussion, everyone got busy.And Liu Jiande, who obtained partial permission, took a piece of paper with some writing on it into another room, and spread it out in front of Zhou Yuan.

"Are any of these words related to this game?"

There are many special nouns extracted from Gu Xingyan’s notes written on the paper—some of the medicinal materials in the game have the same names as the real herbal medicines, but there are also many parts related to voodoo and poison, which are obviously metaphysical. style words.In addition, there are also some secret words that are not intended to be judged from the context, and are more similar to referring to certain things.

The first word on the list is "Gu Xingyan", and among the many words on the paper, there are two more words: "Naihe" and "Impermanence".

At the same time, T City on the other side.

After disposing of the letters left for him in the emergency kit and erasing some suspicious information about the trajectory of his actions, Ye Mu lay on the bed, covered with a quilt, as if taking a nap, with his eyes closed peacefully.

Compared with "extraterrestrial visitors" or "alien", an ordinary, native-born "human being" who has been baptized in socialist values, received state funding, and has no bad criminal record looks obviously more harmless and easier Gain some trust.

And what he has to do is to become an "ordinary human being" more truly in the early stage of interacting with the outside world—except for certain parts that need to be preserved.

Temporarily sink all kinds of memories that do not belong to "Human Ye Mu" into the depths of my mind, including the part after Ye Mu traveled to another world, leaving only the insect-controlling ability from the first generation of demon gods and the part of Tianyan from Qingguang Information about the Eight Diagrams Formation, as well as Ye Mu's own memories before time travel and some of this morning's memories.With the accumulation of memory, his thoughts gradually calmed down, and he fell into a deep "sleep".

As if just waking up from a long and vague dream, Ye Mu opened his eyes.

The content of the dream has disappeared, only a strong feeling of reluctance and sadness lingers for a long time.

Sitting up, his brain started to work, he glanced at the time in some confusion, and carefully recalled his experience in the morning.

He remembered getting up in the morning, throwing away his toothbrush that had been used for less than a month, getting a new toothbrush, wearing a suit of clothes that were not suitable for work, and ordering painkillers although he didn't feel unwell. Calling the company to call in sick for a fictitious excuse, throwing the pills you bought down the toilet.

Then he changed this set of clothes again, put on his pajamas again, lay down on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and slept until now... After one o'clock in the afternoon?

Ye Mu touched his forehead to confirm that he did not have a fever.

Could it be that I was too sleepy at the time, and my thinking was slow and I just wanted to ask for leave to sleep in?

——Thinking optimistically, it can't be the first symptom of mental abnormality.

He fell into deep self-doubt.
