In the rotunda, rows of incandescent lamps were lit, illuminating the man in the middle.
Nid Hogg maintained a straight posture, looking forward without blinking.In a transparent petri dish ahead, there is a cloud of mist floating.The mist twisted and transformed behind the glass, agitating an invisible figure.
There seems to be some creature behind the fog, but it is faintly visible because of the occlusion.
An ethereal and hoarse mechanical sound came from the petri dish.
"Ned, you have doubts in your heart, do you have a question to ask me?"
Nid Hogg's lens reflected two white lights, making it impossible to see what his eyes were like.
"Yes, my lord Mastermind."
"It's about Gu Beiyang?"
Nid Hogg took a step forward: "That's right."
"I often have hallucinations recently, seeing him holding me...but I called him 'Master'. I can't find the answer to this sudden memory."
The main brain didn't answer for a while, and a helpless sigh came from the huge space.
"Finally, the day has come..."
"According to certain restrictions, I can't tell you the answer directly, but I can show you the way."
A suspended light screen popped up in front of the main brain, and a picture was displayed on it:
In a room that looks like a laboratory, Gu Beiyang popped out from the blue portal.His body returned to its original size little by little. He took the clothes from a man and put them on casually.The expression on his face didn't seem very good.
The mastermind continued: "I can tell you Gu Beiyang's current coordinates, and some questions require you to explore the answers yourself."
A specific coordinate popped up on the light screen, shining with dazzling golden light.
"You have to speed up the time. As far as I know, Gu Beiyang will have a private conversation with Duke Shelley. And this conversation is extremely important to you, don't miss it."
Seeing this, Nid Hogg no longer hesitated.He pressed the headset, gave an order to the clone in a low voice, and then left the hall where the main brain was.
After he left, there was a pop, snap, snap sound in the rotunda, and the other lights were turned on in turn now, illuminating the entire rotunda brightly.
And under the light, on every seat, there was a Nid Hogg sitting.
Those Nidhoggs looked at the mastermind in the center as if they had accepted a unified order.
The mastermind gave the order, indifferently and ruthlessly: "No. 137 has mutated, kill him! Then...bring Gu Beiyang to me, it's time to understand."
The other Nidhogg spoke one after another, and their voices shook the entire hall in unison.
"Yes."
-
In Duke Shelley's laboratory.
In order to prevent others from seeing Gu Beiyang's naked appearance, Shelley dismissed the others before Gu Beiyang crossed over.
At this time, there were only the two of them in the huge room.
Gu Beiyang tilted his head and glanced sideways at Shelley.
"Have you seen all the plots in the game? Estes."
Shelley, who was suddenly called by her real name, frowned, and nodded to Gu Beiyang after a long time.
"Then you know what I'm going to do next." Gu Beiyang was not polite to him at all.
Shelley continued to say nothing, answering with a long silence.
"I finally understand why you are so obsessed with this research. You doubt whether the current world is real, so you want to explore whether there is a higher world through the portal. The result is unexpected——"
Gu Beiyang laughed, not knowing whether it was ridicule or sympathy.
"You are from the lowest world."
The blond duke was born proud and thought highly of himself.This truth may be a huge blow to him.
Gu Beiyang was not in a hurry, he straightened his collar with his hands, and made a request to the blond elf very solemnly.
"Let's talk and go somewhere absolutely private, absolutely safe."
Shelley followed Beiyang's instructions and found a secret room that fit his description.
Gu Beiyang entered first, he turned his head to look at Shelley before he stepped forward, and smiled at him.
"Remember what I told you before you forced me into the portal?"
"I told you 'I hope you don't regret your decision', now? Regret it?"
Shelley finally couldn't hold back, and his face turned pale.He pursed his trembling lips, still maintaining his composure.
"You were cuter when you were still in the game."
Back in reality, Gu Beiyang is simply a devil.Bossing at him, baring his teeth and claws instead of saying anything, he poked his heart with every sentence, and the poisonous tongue stood still, making him quickly recall the painful memories of being framed by Gu Beiyang before.
Alas, the little black cat that wagged its tail, moved its ears, and rubbed its fingers against him was gone forever.
Gu Beiyang put his hand on the door frame, smiling casually.
"Why, still obsessed with the me in the game? The me in the game will make some adjustments to make the character not OOC, and that is not my nature."
"It seems that you are very skilled."
"Of course," Gu Beiyang didn't hide anymore, "Don't you just want to test my identity?"
Shelley fell silent for a moment.
Gu Beiyang's hostile gesture made him feel uncomfortable, maybe he has long been used to the company of the little black cat in the game.
He wanted to explain all of a sudden, telling Gu Beiyang that he actually didn't think so a long time ago, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Let's go," he tried his best to maintain his previous posture, not letting his thoughts be revealed, "Go into the room and chat, I also have a lot of questions to ask you."
Gu Beiyang raised his eyebrows and sneered.He put his hand off the door frame and entered the room.
After the two walked in, the door closed by itself, and there were a few metallic clicks.That is the automatic locking device of the secret room.
This secret room is airtight and impenetrable, ordinary people cannot break into it, it is a good place to talk about secret topics.
Shelley sat on the leather sofa, crossed her legs, and poured a glass of wine for herself and Gu Beiyang.
Gu Beiyang glanced down with blue eyes and took out his communicator.There is no communicator signal in this secret room, but the timing function can still be used.
He set a one-hour countdown and placed the communicator on the table.
"Okay, within this hour, you can ask any questions you have, and I can answer you truthfully. But at the same time, in exchange, you have to answer my questions truthfully."
Shelley put her hands on her knees and nodded to Gu Beiyang.
"it is good."
He coughed a few times, subconsciously licked his lips with his tongue, and finally decided to go straight in.
"Who exactly are you?"
"The book wearer."
Gu Beiyang's unequivocal answer surprised Shelley slightly.He never expected that Gu Beiyang would be so frank, he rolled his eyes, and asked again.
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, the interstellar world we are currently in is just a book in my original world."
Shelley nodded thoughtfully.
"It seems that my previous suspicion was right, this world is indeed fake..." He seemed to be talking to himself, but the next sentence raised his head again and asked Gu Beiyang.
"You... What are you doing in this book?"
"Accept tasks and do tasks. The real world is too boring. Here you can meet all kinds of novel people and things, and you can seek exciting life that you can't experience in the real world."
"So, let me guess, your goal of going through the book this time is to send me, Ned Hogg, and that sea god away? Because we... don't belong to this book."
"Obviously easy to see."
Shelley was slightly taken aback, and did not continue to ask.
Gu Beiyang picked up a glass of wine on the table, sipped it, and looked at Shelley playfully.
"You are more surprised than I imagined, haven't you already seen everything? Otherwise, why did you arrest me in the first place?"
"I'm not surprised by your purpose. I just didn't expect that I climbed up layer by layer, eager to find the top world... But it seems that there is no end."
"So, you recovered your memory?"
Shelley nodded.
"After seeing the script you got in the game, I remembered everything. I remembered where my obsession with portal research came from. It was my desire to explore this world."
"Don't tell me that the reason why you want to pass through layers of worlds is because of your own consciousness? Could it be that you awakened in the world of elves?"
Gu Beiyang quickly discovered the main points in Shelley's words, and asked further.
Shelley lowered her head, lost in thought as if she had settled down.Hearing Gu Beiyang's words, he seemed to have received some kind of blow, which made his whole tone darken.
"No, you wouldn't have discovered it by yourself." Gu Beiyang supported his chin with his hands, and began to sort out by himself.
"Why didn't I discover it myself?" Shelley asked a little funny.
"You can't resist the designer of a higher plane. Because no matter what you are, you are just a character in the story. All your actions and thoughts are constrained by the plot of the story; even if you think you are Discovering the mystery of this plane, it is very likely that it is a link in the script of the high plane.
"Your awakening consciousness can't come from your heart, someone deliberately inspired you. Am I right?"
"Your words are really cruel." Shelley's Adam's apple twitched.
"The reality is far more cruel than what I said." Gu Beiyang shrugged, disapproving.
Shelley lowered her head, no longer stubbornly resisting, and told the truth to Gu Beiyang.
"Yes, the reason why I realized that my world is false is because someone reminded me."
Gu Beiyang became interested in an instant. He leaned forward and lowered his voice.
"who is it?"
Shelley glanced at the excited Gu Beiyang, and confessed after hesitation.
"There were two people, one of whom was a silver-haired man."
silver haired...
Gu Beiyang's eyes widened immediately, and his body leaned forward even more, to the point where he was almost interlaced with Shelley's breath, and even the speed of his speech accelerated a bit.
"What did he tell you? Did he reveal his name? Are there any other characteristics?"
Shelley was slightly startled by his approach, and subconsciously backed away a little.
"He told me that he could take me to the upper world and let me see the truth of the world."
"What about the name?"
"He didn't tell me," Shelley told me truthfully, "but I can tell you one thing, he looks like someone next to you. I wasn't sure before, but I saw his face in the game After that, I became more and more sure that it was him."
"Who?" Gu Beiyang had a faint suspicion in his heart.
"Yes……"
Shelley's lips moved, like a movie at 0.5 times speed, and time slowed down instantly.Gu Beiyang's heart skipped a beat, and a drop of sweat fell from his temples. The crystal beads of sweat were falling slowly, like slow motion.
At this critical moment, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded outside the room.
Both Shelley and Gu Beiyang's attention were attracted by it, and the walls of the entire secret room began to tremble, with a few wisps of dust scattered down.
With a loud bang, the wall of the impenetrable secret room was burst open, revealing a huge hole.Fragments of the broken wall instantly flew up and shot around.
Gu Beiyang's crisis antenna was quickly erected. Before the secret room was broken open, he quickly rolled towards the bottom of the sofa, and quickly pinned down Shelley on the opposite side, pulling him down as well.
When the choking smoke from the attack dissipated, Gu Beiyang squinted his eyes and recognized a few figures from the hustle and bustle.
Those people were wearing black suits, with a black gas mask on their faces, and they were all fully armed and ready to fight.
Gu Beiyang quickly summoned the system: [System, what is going on? ]
[Kiss, I guess Shelley's awakening was known to the upper echelons of Chuanshuju. This is probably the error corrector sent by Chuanshuju. ]
[Fuck!Then why didn't you notify me sooner? ]
[The awakening of the character was detected directly through the data of the bookstore, without going through me. ]
Judging by the tone of the system, this sudden situation is just a guess.Gu Beiyang's eyes rolled, and suspicion rippled in his heart.
[I can't hand over Shelley yet, he still has important information in his mouth. ]
Gu Beiyang made up his mind and looked down at Shelley.Shelley was pressed under him, his face was strangely pale, he breathed intermittently, bit his lower lip desperately, restrained moaning in pain.
Gu Beiyang pressed down with his hand, and sure enough, he touched a piece of wet liquid.He raised his hand, and the palm was dyed bright red.
Just after the wall exploded, a piece of debris cut through Shelley's abdomen, causing him to bleed profusely.
Gu Beiyang didn't care too much, he quickly supported Shelley's arm, and hurriedly lowered his voice to ask.
"You said there are two people, who is the other person?"
The blood on Shelley's face slowly dissipated, and he spit out two words in a breath: "It's you..."
Gu Beiyang leaned down and pressed it against his lips. After hearing this answer, his eyes widened in shock.
This is impossible.
"Tell me again, who is it?" Gu Beiyang shook Shelley's shoulder hysterically.
"is yours……"
Shelley's breath gradually weakened, and a few blood bubbles appeared between her lips.His eyelids gradually drooped, and his consciousness gradually became blurred amidst Gu Beiyang's hissing.
The author has something to say: This chapter will be a little deciphered, it won’t be very long, and I probably need to collect some foreshadowing~
Nid Hogg maintained a straight posture, looking forward without blinking.In a transparent petri dish ahead, there is a cloud of mist floating.The mist twisted and transformed behind the glass, agitating an invisible figure.
There seems to be some creature behind the fog, but it is faintly visible because of the occlusion.
