Chapter 8 Real Fantasy

"Newcomer? What does this mean?"

Xia Ran keenly caught the key words.

"It means that we are actually the same unlucky ghosts. The wavelength of the soul is easy to approach the frequency of other dimensions, and the coincidence with our own world is very unstable, and we may surpass the barrier between the worlds at any time..."

The fuzzy figure said this with some emotion, and there was an inexplicable sense of sympathy in his tone.

"Although other things cannot be guaranteed, you are definitely not alone in this matter."

Xia Ran was silent for a moment. Although the words sounded inexplicable, he felt that he seemed to be... somewhat understandable?

After all, he is not really innocent, and he is still the age group who believes that Santa Claus will ride a moose to deliver gifts every year. Naturally, he is very aware of how evil what happened to him is.

—Which normal person would have such a terrifyingly real dream?What so-called lucid dream can achieve that level of horrific realism?It's almost like the spiritual consciousness is lost in the endless river of time.

It's just that he lacked relevant intelligence and information before, so he couldn't make an accurate judgment. The only thing he could roughly grasp was the nature and characteristics of "dreams".

In addition, no one can explain it to him, so he can only figure it out by himself, and then forcefully explain it, so that he can at least have an acceptable explanation... Although this kind of explanation is often in the nature of self-comfort.

"Are we... all the same?" He asked tentatively.

"Yes, we are all the same. Although this situation is actually very, very rare, the probability is not completely zero, and this infinite world is too wide..."

The fuzzy figure seems to be nodding, but because of the rich light and shadow effects, Xia Ran, who can barely see the outline, has no way to distinguish the small movements in the details.

"It's just that it's too wide, so it's impossible for us to observe every area. Only after the newcomers show enough potential and possibility, can they be observed and locked, and then pulled into the white space."

"..."

"..."

"So... what kind of mechanism is this?" Xia Ran felt a little confused. Could it be that the other party was still organized and disciplined?

"What mechanism? This question is a bit difficult to explain. Let's put it this way, I was not completely joking before. You can understand it directly according to that statement. Although it is not a reincarnation space, there is no big light ball."

The fuzzy human figure claiming to be the guide seemed to be very happy and said——

"Strictly speaking, we are not the reincarnation you imagined, but our nature is actually very close. It is said that in some worlds we are called travelers of time and space, apostles, lost people, etc. Of course, we are also said to be extraterrestrial demons. of……"

Xia Ran fell silent again, pushed his glasses and didn't speak. Although he always felt that something was wrong, there must be something wrong, but he really didn't consider the possibility of such a divine unfolding at all!

——Maybe this is still my dream?By the way, it must be the case, maybe this time it was actually a simple dream, nothing else was involved, that's why this scene happened.

"I understand your doubts very well. It's normal for you not to believe such things. After all, I was actually like you when I first started. Which normal person would accept this statement so easily?"

For Xia Ran's silence, the guide did not care.

"It's just that facts always speak louder than words. You'll know when you see the facts with your own eyes. By the way, the first thing to do is to establish your personal area..."

"Create a personal area?"

"Yeah, let's take it as the same setting as the space of reincarnation... It is the area specially designated for you by this great white space, and this area of ​​space actually belongs to you."

The fuzzy figure looked around and stretched out its hand as if gesticulating something.

"So except that I can temporarily project in because of my duties, no one else can interfere, and you can't see them. But it still needs to be adjusted. Of course, by this time, it is estimated that the time will be almost the same."

"what?"

Xia Ran couldn't help raising his eyebrows, but at the next moment, he felt that some information seemed to flow in from his consciousness.

It was as if he heard an incomparably loud, but genderless voice. The reason why he said it was because even he was not sure whether it was his hallucination, or whether the eardrum really received some vibration——

"...The search is complete..."

"...The conditions match..."

"...Starting the suitable operation of rule assimilation..."

"...inserting intelligence and reconstruction framework..."

"...Scanning target object data and generating corresponding files..."

"...is granting the underlying authority, activating basic related module function services..."

"...The information has been inserted..."

"...suitable for homework completion..."

"...The whole project is over..."

And almost at the same time, the surrounding pure white space also undergoes earth-shaking changes extremely quickly.

As if time and space became distorted, curves visible to the naked eye appeared out of thin air, outlining the outlines of various scenes almost instantly, and making them clear quickly.

Not long after, the white part quickly shrank into one, and finally turned into a sphere suspended in the midair, exuding soft light, and there seemed to be a vague array of information streams changing on the surface.

And as the light shone, a huge platform appeared below. It was made of unknown superalloy, and it looked extremely flat. There was not even any fluctuations in microns. There was only a single wooden door standing on it. .

As for the surroundings of the platform, there is nothingness, like a dark and cold space in the universe.

The two people who were sitting opposite each other in the pure white space before appeared directly on the huge platform, under the light of the soft ball of light.

"It seems that my guess is correct, but it may be that the previous joke left you with too strong psychological hints, and as a result, your personal area has become such a painting style now. I am sorry for this— —”

Seeing Xia Ran standing there in a daze, the guide laughed and apologized insincerely.

"What's more, I will tell you some important precautions. Whether you believe it or not, it is best to remember them first... After all, this does not mean that everything will be better for granted, and it may be worse. maybe."

……

……

I don't know how long it has passed, but it was midnight.

Xia Ran in the real world slowly opened her eyes, woke up from her bedroom, her eyes were still full of bewilderment, and just stared blankly at the ceiling in the dark in a daze.

It seems that for a while, I can't tell what the situation is now and when it looks like.

"Well……"

After a long while, he moaned in a low voice, and slowly sat up from the bed, stretched out a finger in confusion and rubbed his temple to relieve the pressure in his head.

The feeling that his brain was bloated due to receiving too much information made him very uncomfortable...

After thinking about it hard, he found that he just had a strange dream that was not considered dangerous, but it seemed very bizarre, and it also seemed very absurd, almost like a fantasy dream?

The swollen head felt more and more serious, as if the CPU was overloaded. While rubbing his temples, he tried hard to recall the dream just now... Then, he couldn't help but smiled wryly.

In the dream, I seemed to drift into a pure white world, and then I met a person who couldn't even tell the gender, and then the other person didn't care whether I could accept it or not, and talked about it for a long time. A pile of inexplicable words.

how to say?There was just something wrong with him before—just “somewhat.”

But the style of painting afterwards was "completely" wrong.

It’s as if a high school student originally thought that reality was the same thing, and that the repeated daily life was the whole of life. Even if a woman forced her into an inexplicable club, it would not change the basic state of the reality. .

But in the end, within a few days of school, they were dragged out one after another by people from the same club, and said a lot of things that normal people couldn't understand, trying to convince this high school student that they were aliens, people from the future, people from another world and superhumans...

——No, it's impossible.

Although there are subtle similarities between what happened, Xia Ran can still clearly distinguish the difference between dream and reality, and he will not feel that Yukinoshita's classmate is actually Suzumiya.

I don't even believe that Hiratsuka-sensei is a person with superpowers...Huh?Wait, this can actually be there, otherwise why would she have such unscientific powers as a weak girl?

Xia Ran shook her head vigorously, trying to restrain her runaway thoughts.

Although the memory impression in the dream is as clear and profound as ever, for him who has woken up at this moment and is in the dimension called "reality", it is natural for him to look at the problem from a more realistic perspective .

So of course he wouldn't believe in such absurd things, so he just had a strange dream... Although he had always wondered whether he had seen in other dimensions in his dream, like the number of sands in the Ganges River. infinite world.

But... instead of believing in such a development, it is better to seriously think about whether it is more reliable to sign a contract with some strange creature and become a promising magical boy.

"Ugh……"

Xia Ran sighed and covered her forehead.

Now that he has woken up and is in reality, he feels that maybe he has too much psychological pressure on dreaming, so he has such absurd delusions... After all, it is impossible to say that he can directly exhale a system now, right?

It is said that what kind of white space has already implanted what data terminal into his soul level?

He thought so, and with the appearance of such a thought, in the next moment, he didn't know what happened, his pupils shrank slightly, and his expression suddenly froze.

——In the second half of the night, he didn't fall asleep again.

(PS: I have changed it at least five or six times, but I am still not satisfied. In the end, I deleted the few thousand words of simple dialogue explanations in the middle... I plan to disperse these settings and put them later, and add explanations when it is suitable That's it, I don't want to stuff all my brains into one piece, I just use one or two chapters of simple questions and answers to explain the settings)
