time traveler

A mechanical sound of "ding" sounded, and the viscous light red liquid in front of his eyes slowly dropped, and the metal probes that penetrated into the skin popped out one by one, and the metal tube wrapped around his body was quickly retracted. When the culture liquid was completely down, the breathing tube Falling off, losing the last restraint, Xia Run, who was completely free, supported his weak body and sat up from the glass tank.

'Am I back? '

'Yes. ' M replied.

Xia Run looked around and found that she was sitting naked in a pod-shaped petri dish. In the darkness, the left and right sides were all the same glass petri dishes, lined up densely, extending endlessly into the distance. Each petri dish is filled with a light red culture solution, and a human-shaped object can be vaguely seen inside.

He leaned on the edge of the trough and looked down. His sight was unfathomably deep, and he could not see the bottom at all. There were still rows of pod-shaped petri dishes below, all suspended and inlaid on a huge metal cliff, neatly arranged and extending downwards. go.

He quickly retracted his gaze, this endless height made him a little dizzy.

'Is this the reality, M? Xia Run asked in the thinking channel in disbelief.

'Yes, that's the reality. ' M replied.

At this time, there was a "buzzing" sound of fluttering wings from the bottom of the metal cliff, and a mechanical dragonfly with a complex structure flew up. Its entire body was as tall as two people, and its various parts formed agilely, like a living thing. .

This mechanical creature slowly approached and hovered in front of Xia Run. Its two huge compound eyes stared at him. The voice of "Father God" came from the mechanical dragonfly's mouthparts: "Hello, we meet again."

As soon as Xia Run heard this voice, the little flame in Xia Run's heart immediately ignited, and he yelled angrily with his arms crossed: "Old pervert! Peeping Tom! Where are my clothes? Give them back!"

"Hehe, you are still the same skin in reality." Father God said helplessly, the abdomen of the mechanical dragonfly suddenly opened, stretched out a metal tentacle, and handed Xia Run's individual combat ball into Xia Run's hand.

Xia Run took it angrily, and took out a tracksuit to change into for herself.

He is full of anger now, no matter who has been played like a monkey like this for two times, and has been stripped of his memory inside and out, only to find that he was raised like an ornamental fish after returning to reality, Putting it naked in a transparent training tank would not be too calm. If he hadn't remembered Father God's powerful ability to appear and disappear in time, for fear that he would be unhappy and pull him back into the virtual illusion, he would... he would... …

Xia Run bit his lip and thought about it carefully. With his current ability, it seemed that he really had nothing to do with others, so he simply stopped thinking.

Well, now that he is under someone else's roof, it's better for him to keep a low profile.

"I will arrange for the child I am linked to to send you back to the ground safely, and realize your bet with me."

"What's the bet?" Xia Run couldn't help asking, confused.

However, Father God obviously didn't say it to Xia Run, it continued: "In addition, my promise will never be invalidated, so I hope yours will not break your promise."

A blue light flickered behind Xia Run's head, expressing his agreement.

Father God was very satisfied: "Then, it's a smooth journey."

"Wait!" Seeing that Father God was about to leave, Xia Run held back, but he didn't hold back, and asked in a low voice, "Well, you...can you tell me about Dennis and Dong in the previous world?" Ya are they... real?"

The mechanical dragonfly remained silent for a minute, and the scene turned cold in an instant. Although there was no change in the two pairs of compound eyes, Xia Run felt that the father's eyes seemed to have cooled down.

Xia Run felt a little regretful, why didn't he control his curiosity just now?But he really wanted to know the ending of those people. After all, they worked so hard to get rid of the fate of puppets. Even though they knew that the enemy was out of reach and could never be shaken, they were still working hard to get freedom. with.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, the azure circle of light suddenly lit up. Looking at the familiar protective cover, Xia Run suddenly felt at peace.

"Sure enough." The priest laughed, "You've protected him a bit too much. Instead of worrying about his growth, you should learn to let go first. Children who don't experience the baptism of wind and rain will never grow up."

The azure halo slowly faded away, and the mechanical dragonfly turned around and sent its long and narrow tail over. The metal piece on the tail was turned up to form a metal buckle, which was firmly fastened to Xia Run's waist.

"Finally, I have another sentence for you, 'Everything has a beginning and an end', don't force it." Father God said meaningfully, the ending faded, and he had obviously left.

The mechanical dragonfly took off and flew upwards, leading Xia Run through a long period of darkness. Xia Run kept silent, thinking over and over again the words of the Father God in his mind, and a bad premonition kept hovering in his heart. He thought that the "child" that the father God was full of love and tenderly said was a human being. It wasn't until he saw this vivid mechanical dragonfly that he realized that it was obviously not.

'Boss, has human civilization in this world come to an end? ' Xia Run asked in the thinking channel.

'Um. ' M replied.

'The ones in those tanks before that were...'

'Cheap, renewable and recyclable, pollution-free bioenergy. 'M said lightly.

Xia Run shuddered, horrified by the cruel truth behind these adjectives, he almost became one of them!

Thinking about before returning, he and his father talked about new things to replace old things, and he was so ashamed. It's not a good friend of human beings who are distressed and seeking development, a model in the programming world, a good intelligent program that has abided by stereotypes for thousands of years, and only worries that its human children will not love itself. !You look like you have a melancholy look on your face, but in your heart you might be so happy!

After thinking about it, Xia Run asked cautiously, "Boss, that...can you save them by the way?" '

'cannot. '

'OMG!I'm not still awake in the virtual illusion, am I? Xia Run shouted in the thinking channel with the tone of the end of the world, "otherwise, my omnipotent boss will not be able to do things ahhhhhhhhhh!" '

M: ...

Xia Run: 'Boss, so this is realistic, right? 'He suddenly became a little bit square, and had already begun to be paranoid.

M: '...Is it because you don't have any points in your heart? '

Xia Run: 'So this is really a reality? '

'Um! '

"Hey... I don't believe it, I have to ask the boss to prove it to me..."

'Shut up! Annoyed by his mean tone, M pressed his forehead and shouted: "Is your head made of elm?"How many worlds have I gone through, why don't I still be so stupid! '

'oh. Xia Run closed her mouth in satisfaction, um, she is still so vicious, it seems that this is the boss of his family!

The speed of the mechanical dragonfly is very fast, and after a while, the gradually brighter light and shadow can be seen.

Xia Run turned his head and looked behind him. In the darkness of nothingness, he seemed to be able to see the boundless and neatly arranged nutrition dishes. The enemies he encountered were very difficult, otherwise his boss would not have allowed him to wander through two dungeons in the virtual illusion before being sent back to reality by God the Father.

Of course, he could also deduce that Father God didn't end well under his boss, otherwise he wouldn't have let him out so happily.

'Oh, by the way, big man, what bet did you make with that 'voyeurist'? ' Xia Run asked curiously.

'A test of humanity. 'M replied,'It has been thinking about the meaning of life, or the meaning of its existence since it produced self-awareness, especially the human beings who are its creators, but it has finally fallen to the current state, making it confused Puzzled, or...in fear, fear of human beings now, is it in the future. '

"Oh my god, this smart program has been thinking about something all day long. I'm afraid it's going to become a genius... Uh, no, it's already a life..." Xia Run felt a toothache, and thought about it He asked again: "So the bet is to see if I can leave those two serial virtual illusions?" '

'Um. '

'The little red umbrella in there, and the man in black in the two dreams in the first illusion are all you, right? Xia Run said with a smile. After all, thinking about it now, the only person who can make him use it so easily is his boss.

'hehe. 'M smiled faintly, 'I didn't expect that your childhood shadow turned out to be Jack the Ripper, and your childhood wish was to marry a princess and become a king with your arms around you. '

Xia Run's dead fish eyes in a second: ...

You voyeurs, you still let people have a little privacy!Besides, who doesn't have a second-year period? Those girls have fantasies about domineering presidents, romantic talents, and emperors who love themselves, but everyone just thinks about it and doesn't take it seriously, because these only feel in the imagination. Beautiful, but in reality, it would be different!

So the final world is not called perfect reality at all, it is perfect scare!

Not caring about the banter from the boss, Xia Run suddenly remembered something, and suddenly became uneasy: "Then boss, if I had chosen to stay in..."

He suddenly stopped talking and no longer spoke.

'Um? 'M frowned, it's not the boy's style to say half and half.

'……nothing. Xia Run already had an answer to this question in his mind. After being lost for a moment, he cheered up again and continued, "By the way, boss, I was forced to eat strange things before. Is there anything wrong?" '

'Um. ' M replied, and after a while, suddenly added, 'It should be. '

Xia Run wanted to cry immediately, no, boss, can you be sure of your tone?It's over, it's over, why does he suddenly feel better!

While they were talking, the mechanical dragonfly had already flown to the top, and the metal plate disguised as the ground opened, leading them to fly out.

Down to earth again, Xia Run felt much better. At this time, it was noon on the ground, the sun was shining brightly, and it was warm and pleasant. In the distance were majestic mountains rolling up and down. The grass is also dotted with clusters of unknown small wild flowers, the air is fresh and full of aura, it is so good!

Brave new world on earth, here he comes!
