Garister found that since Eris broke up with him this morning for no reason and proposed to break up, the events of the day have been out of control like a wild horse.Originally, in his vision, the two of them would spend the first day of the internship in a dull manner, then the second day, and the third day...

After six months, they will become full-time employees, and their relationship will be further consolidated.

Once he's saved up, he can surprise Eris with her always-favorite ring and propose to her under the aurora in Iceland on an annual vacation trip.Then get married and have children, first a boy, then a girl, the elder brother takes care of the younger sister.The couple had occasional quarrels and watched their two children grow to adulthood and eventually retire in a country cabin.Of course, he must be one step behind her or die at the same time as her, because he is worried that Eris will have a very difficult life without him, and he is not at ease just abandoning her like this.

But the reality slapped him hard, directly swollen his face.

He always felt that Eris had gradually changed. She was more decisive, more rational, more sensitive, more independent, and more... cold than she was four years ago.She will never smile at him like before, play like a baby with him, discuss with him where to go on weekends, or complain to him about how hard it is to go to work. After sitting in the office all morning, he was about to fiddle with his time, but now Eris was so efficient that he couldn't believe it.

Garister thought for a long time about the reason for Eris' change, especially the reason for this week's change. After thinking about it, only the unexpected death of her parents last week was the most convincing.But before he could come up with a countermeasure, two men in black with different standpoints suddenly ran out here, the first bald man wanted them to die, and the latter pretended to be a man who pretended to be a ghost...

"My name is Offit." The man in sunglasses driving in the front glanced at a man and a woman sitting in the back seat in the rearview mirror. According to the data, they were a couple, but... now they looked too Not like it anymore.

"Real name and pseudonym?" Eris glanced lightly at the rearview mirror that reflected Offit's sunglasses.

"...everyone else will call me that."

"Oh?" Eris seemed to have noticed something interesting. She changed her sitting position, put her hand on the side door, and propped her head slightly sideways. "This answer is very interesting. If the meaning of 'real name' means If it's your parents' name, then you don't have a real name, but it's not a fake name either... How are your parents?"

"...they died very early."

"Well, so you used to have parents. Why did you ditch your old name?"

"I didn't give up."

"Interesting~ Your parents named you Offit, but you don't admit it's your real name."

"...Is this kind of small question very important to you?!" As if pressed by Eris' meaningful interrogation tone, Offit's tone was a little impatient, "You don't understand anything, but It's not a good place to talk. You'll know all you want to know later, and for now, you'd better keep quiet."

"Okay, I don't understand anything." Eris laughed strangely. She raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, leaned quietly on the backrest, and turned her head to look at Garister who had been staring at her. , the smile on his face deepened a bit.

She moved over and sat next to Garister, who suddenly took his arm unexpectedly.

"How on earth did you do it?" She leaned into his ear and whispered.

"What?" Garister, who had been left out for a day, was flattered by Eris' sudden initiative.

"In the parking lot just now, when you were dealing with the man in the suit, did you practice taekwondo behind my back?"

"I...I don't know...it's just some instinctive reaction." Garister was also puzzled immediately, but he saw Eris smiled at him gently and encouragingly, with a hint of bewitching, that I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional that the hot air blowing on his ears made him stiff——

"You'ial..."

He heard Eris say that.

She said he was special.

What's the meaning?Did Lily really think so?Think he's special?Because of his performance at night?Or is he special to her?After all the thrilling events of the night, had she finally decided not to mess with him anymore?Is this a sign of reconciliation?Garister began to think wildly, not even knowing where to put his hands.

About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of an old building.Offiter led the two of them into the apparently empty residential building, followed the stairs to the last room on the top floor.

"Behind this door is the answer. I will give you a choice now, but maybe you will face the same choice after entering. You can choose to leave, because I must tell you that if you choose to open this door, you There will be earth-shaking changes in the future." Standing by the door, Offit reminded kindly.

At this moment, Eris did not speak.Garister instinctively glanced at Eris beside him, and he found a trace of questioning in Eris' eyes.Should they go in?If it was Garister who hadn't got in the car, he might have dragged Eris away immediately, but after the change in Eris' attitude in the car, he suddenly felt that he couldn't back down.

Eris thinks he's special, but if he backs off now, how does he prove he's special?Offit said there was an answer behind the door, and if he opened the door, he would know why he was so brave in the underground parking lot.

Thinking of this, Garister gritted his teeth, nodded, and after Offit opened the door, he led Eris into the room.

The door slowly closed behind Eris, and no one saw the evil smile flashing across Eris' face.

Walking through the porch is the living room.There is no furniture in the living room, only two sofas, one single and one long.There is also a table between the two sofas, and two glasses of water are randomly placed on the table.There was another person sitting on the single sofa, a woman. Like Offiter, that person was wearing sunglasses and a long windbreaker, all buttons were buttoned up, wrapping her beautiful figure.With a pair of leather boots under her feet and long chestnut hair, she looked like an ascetic queen.

"Sit." She said succinctly, and stretched out her hand to gesture for the double sofa opposite.

She wore a pair of leather gloves on her hands.

The area of ​​her skin exposed to the air has reached a minimum.

Eris and Garister exchanged glances, and sat down across from the woman.

"This position can't be considered completely safe, so I'll make a long story short." The woman's voice was as cold and capable as her appearance, "My name is Lorien, and I've been observing you for a long time, and the changes that have happened to you within a week You all know. The world you know is not a real world, you are just slaves imprisoned in a beautiful illusion by the matrix.

"I'm sure you've all seen a change in yourselves this week, and tonight was even more so against Smith. For the first time I've seen someone 'wake up' and 'see' the world on their own, I think One of you is, of course, none of you may be, and the savior is someone else. I can’t go on to explain the specifics, and you will know some things by yourself. Now I will give you a choice.”

"Here are two kinds of medicine." Lorian took out a box and placed it in front of the two of them. "The blue one can make you forget all this and continue your ordinary life. The red one, eat it, and you will know, What I said is true or false. I don’t force you to choose, but you only have ten seconds to hesitate.”

Lorian said, and put a countdown pocket watch on the table.

Before Garister could digest Lorian's words, he was faced with an absurd choice.These strangely dressed people were strangers to both of them, and the two strangers took them to a strange place, said a bunch of questions about whether the world was real or not, and gave them two drugs , who knows if it is poison!

However, recalling the "you'ial" that Eris said, Garister's retreat gradually turned into firmness.

To put it bluntly, human beings only need two kinds of satisfaction, material and spiritual.Spiritual needs will make human beings pursue the affirmation of others, while self-realization needs will make human beings constantly explore their own positioning and value.Sometimes a simple sentence, said by different people to different people, will have different effects.

Garister picked up the red medicine, and Eris, who was silent the whole time, saw that he had chosen, also picked up the red medicine and took it.

Lorian called Offit in, and they led them to the room inside. There were a bunch of machines in the room, and there was a person sitting in front of the computer in the middle.

Offit put patches on their necks and made them sit in chairs.At this moment, Eris suddenly felt that everything in front of his eyes had become very strange—all objects were like a pile of distorted sticky slime, without a fixed shape, but constantly changing.

Gradually, she felt dizzy in her head, and then she closed her eyes and passed out.

But the next second she opened her eyes, she found herself lying naked in a pile of muddy mucus, with tubes of various sizes attached to her body.Opening her eyes in the slime didn't do much damage to her eyes, and she felt quite comfortable instead.She stretched out her hand and touched the translucent walls, and found that she didn't have much strength in her body.

With a sound of "嗤", the cabin door opened, and Eris didn't sit up immediately. After looking outside through the muddy mucus, she slowly got up to avoid straining her body muscles due to sudden force.

The sky outside was very gray, with lightning and thunder, and the air was full of motor oil and a strange stench from the slime.And there are countless cultivation chambers under Eris, one row after another, placed on metal "buildings" with no height and no bottom.

A robotic arm that was training outside the warehouse found her, and she had two choices, flee or stay where she was.

Eris opened her mouth, and her throat ached, as did her freshly aired eyes.

She suddenly had a bottom line in her heart.

She chose to stay where she was, letting the mechanical arm remove the catheter from her body, and then followed the sucked mucus to the underground waste liquid room, where she was taken away by another mechanical arm protruding from a spaceship .

The lights in the spaceship made her eyes hurt, and someone handed her a blanket to temporarily cover her naked body.

Garister was on the side. He saw Eris, and immediately rushed over after being slightly taken aback, supporting her. The strength of his arm was not like that of a muscle atrophy due to long-term lack of strength just fished out of the training chamber. people.

"Welcome, you have made the right decision." Lorian came in front of them, but compared to her previous abstinence-style attire, she looked much more normal now in a casual black suit, and she didn't have any pretentious glasses.

"Now, can you continue to explain?" There was a hint of persuasion in Garister's voice.

He was alive and kicking... Eris, who was weak on the surface, lowered his head and smiled lightly, then closed his eyes, and handed over all his strength to Garister.

Since he wants to be the first bird, let him be...
