[Digimon DA] Parallel Lines

"Finally able to take it! Advanced computer courses!" The high heels under the girl's feet "clucked" and she walked side by side with the tall boy, but she was still a little shorter.

Seeing her excited expression, the boy couldn't help asking:

"I really don't understand you. It's not that you don't know how to use computers. Why bother to enroll in courses about computers?"

The girl turned around, stepped on the boy's feet with the heel of her high-heeled shoes, and turned around, causing the boy's upright face to distort for a moment, and gasped at the same time.The girl glared at him angrily, and finally after three seconds, the boy sighed helplessly and said, "It's my fault."

"Hmph!" The girl crossed her arms a little waywardly, turned around and walked quickly, then stopped again. "Don't you think people who study computers are handsome! Those who can write software are also very good! If I can become such a person, I will work hard!"

"I really don't understand, it's just a calculation tool..."

"No! That's something with infinite possibilities!"

"You're going to be 17 too...you'll be laughed at if you talk so innocently."

- Ah... this is...

Later, the scene of the quarreling between the girl and the boy gradually twisted, and then it was like a screen that was forcibly turned off, leaving only darkness.

——This is a girl who just likes computers and has boundless enthusiasm.

When Haneda Chika woke up from the dream, she didn't know where she was for a moment. A minute passed before she remembered that she was in one of the rooms in the old man's house in Xuannei.

"Really, it has become two people."

When I close my eyes, it is the willful but lively face of that girl; when I open my eyes, what is reflected in the mirror on the wall is a little girl with an indifferent expression, even seemingly emotionless.

In her previous life, she was a child who was held in the palm of her parents' hands, and her ten fingers were not touched by the spring water. She was not a daughter of a wealthy family, but a somewhat willful girl in a well-off family.If that girl lived as her current self all of a sudden, she would either be frightened, or cry to go home.

In this life, she had a father who loved her, and... an irresponsible mother who left the family behind.There is also a childhood sweetheart who is a little impulsive and not careful enough, and his younger sister who laughs very healingly is company.

"That's not bad, isn't it?"

Chika Haneda smiled stiffly at herself in the mirror.

——Oops, isn’t it facial paralysis?

She decided to practice smiling more in the future. Her personality is quite cold and she doesn't talk much. Living with childish little ghosts (not referring to her childhood sweetheart and his sister), she doesn't have much time to laugh.

——I, I am not a mouthless attribute!

Saying goodbye to the time (?) of worrying about her attributes, Haneda Chika walked out of the room, turned a few corners, and came to her usual work place.Although it is work, it is actually more like study.She felt that it might be because she has been dealing with data too often recently that she dreamed of the girl who loved to explore the computer world in her previous life.

She also had to admit that it seemed that until now, that enthusiasm still loomed in her heart.But the difference is that what she is more interested in now is probably the digital world that she has absolutely never touched in her previous life.

——By the way, I died like this at that time, and I still haven't attended several classes... What a waste.

Perhaps the experience of this life has given this girl a characteristic called "frugality".

"Hehe, Chika woke up, but it's not that early for the selected child." The door opened automatically, and the old man Gennai walked in, saying hello to Haneda Chika who was sitting in one of the chairs in front of the console.

Haneda Chika glanced at him and responded politely, "Good morning." Then she flicked her fingers on the keyboard. Having studied here for a while, she was already familiar with the operation of these machines.She poked a button on the wall with her index finger, and a certain display screen was turned on, and the picture was blurred by the noise, but she could barely see what the old man Xuannei said.

Seeing the sleeping faces of several children, Chika Haneda felt relieved and continued to operate the machine.

"I'm just a mental body, so there's no point in sleeping."

The old man Xuannei sat on the chair behind and responded to her: "But if you don't sleep, Qianhua, the data as consciousness may become scattered and difficult to reorganize."

Yes, for such a poor reason.

Here, in theory, she should not have to eat or sleep, and it doesn't matter if she watches the actions of the chosen child all day long.Because she has to be scanned and reorganized by the machine, she has a physical body, and she must rest and eat, just like those children who normally enter this world.After receiving the food handed over by the old man Xuannei, she raised a question:

"When I entered the digital world, I didn't have the "data" of my body, right? It doesn't matter whether I eat or sleep, it's strange, isn't it?"

"The body does not enter this world as data, it only enters in the form of reorganization, not in the form of data. Therefore, human beings are injured and die in this world, and they cannot be reborn like Digimon. And Qianhua, your situation is a bit special , as a consciousness that passes through the gap between worlds, you are inherently fragile, so you cannot be reorganized to appear in a human body. Although you can touch the things here, they only appear as data, so you must absorb them data to maintain itself.”

Chika Haneda stared at the old Gennai who obviously said a lot of words without taking a breath, as if she had learned the difference between the "original data body" and the "original human being".

"However, Qianhua, your consciousness is actually separated from your body. This is a phenomenon that has never happened before." Haneda Chika can already notice the slight change of expression on the face of the old man Xuannai, which is the biggest achievement since coming here. caught.And she had an answer to his question in her heart.

Because, she wasn't Haneda Chika in the first place.

Originally, this soul did not belong to this body. Assuming that the body is a square box, then she is a rectangular building block. More than half of it was barely stuffed in, but it fell out easily.

However, it is an undeniable fact that she is Haneda Chika now.Although she didn't know it, her assumption was crucially wrong.

"The signal I received recently seems a bit weird. Does Mr. Gennai know anything?" Chika Haneda gave up discussing her own question and turned to another question.

"It seems that special radio waves have interfered with our monitors." Elder Xuannei stroked his white beard and said, "Perhaps, the chosen child will be in trouble."

"Eh?" Chika Haneda had a rare surprised expression on her face.

"We can only help from the side."

She nodded in understanding.The other party's words are often paragraph by paragraph, and sometimes they can't understand clearly, but she can understand now.She wanted to be like him, silently observing and assisting those children.

For the next few days, Chika Haneda was training technicians.

At the beginning, she complained that classmate Quan was a technical geek, but she never thought that she would one day develop in this direction.

In addition to popularizing the common sense of the digital world, understanding the operation of programs and sorting out some data have become her daily homework.For example, in these days when we only live in data and data, Chika Haneda and Mr. Gennai have the following exchanges from time to time.

Sometimes, it's about data wrangling.

"Mr. Gennai, which database should these data be placed in?"

"Ah, just put it in slot A. By the way, Qianhua, can you check some other data for me by the way?"

Chika Haneda took a deep breath, moved to another large computer with a blank expression, and opened a certain database.She was stunned for a moment, and then finally couldn't help getting angry:

"Mr. Gennai, I don't think there is a need to organize and check this information! Although I am now a member of "Supporting the Selected Children Silently" to a certain extent, please don't tell me too much for now. ! And what’s the matter with the link below! How can the secret recipe of making tea be mixed with such information! How casual are you guys!」

Seeing the research data of the Hill of Light incident and Digimon's partner, Chika Haneda couldn't help complaining.

Sometimes, it's about programming.

"Mr. Gennai, how to set up the protective barrier here?"

"Ah, that's it..." Mr. Gennai's series of technical terms made Chika Haneda, who had been keeping calm all the time, feel anxious and had a headache.

"I'm not computer-savvy like Izumi-san, could you please explain in terms I can understand?"

"The details can be found in this database."

"Did you say this from the beginning?!"

During these days, the only thing Haneda Chika felt was that her facial paralysis had improved and her complaint skills had also improved.

——This is not a good thing!

The author has something to say: This chapter is a bit short, but because it is a manuscript, I will not add more w

Qianhuajiang is a completely different child from her previous life in memory. In fact, it can also be understood as death and reincarnation but accidentally left a memory... At least in Qianhuajiang's understanding.w

For the rest, I don't speak w
