Butterfly dream life

In the ward.

Yu Xiaoduo looked at the strange man sitting opposite, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Just an hour ago, he learned the truth from this man.

It turned out that there was no psychological research institute at all, and the so-called virtual world missions. Instead, he suffered a diving accident a few months ago and became a vegetable. Fortunately, there is a privately established science academy in Kuncheng, which has developed a brain-computer system. .

As we all know, humans understand the world through the five senses, which need to be processed by the brain. The brain computer uses this feature to stimulate the cerebral cortex through point-to-point connections with the brain, creating various illusions and perceptions.

After the successful research and development, the Academy of Sciences recruited volunteers from the society, requiring them to be vegetative with no serious physical damage to the brain. The Academy of Sciences will do its best to revive the patients and will not charge the family members any fees, provided that the family members do not interfere with their work. Treatment programs.

This is a mutually beneficial transaction, the patient is expected to recover, and the Academy of Sciences can obtain valuable experimental data, so Yu Xiaoduo's mother did not hesitate to sign up, after several layers of screening, she finally stood out from many volunteers and became the only lucky one .

The Academy of Sciences took Yu Xiaoduo out of the hospital, performed a craniotomy on him, and then connected it to the brain computer. By deciphering Yu Xiaoduo's brain waves, he compiled a set of source codes tailored for him to construct a virtual world.

This virtual world is not imagined out of thin air, but a fusion of Yu Xiaoduo's past memories, so when he is immersed in it, he will always be in a passive retrospective state, which can promote the self-repair of his brain neurons, which is very theoretically speaking. May wake up.

Today, when the brain-computer alarm sounded, the staff of the Academy of Sciences collectively cheered and celebrated the success of the experiment, and the man in front of him was the general manager of the project, Dr. Tao.

"Why did you choose this memory?" Yu Xiaoduo asked.

"The brain machine can only read information from the two years before the brain was damaged." Dr. Tao said, "By deciphering your brain waves, we found that your memory of Mr. Gu is the clearest."

Yu Xiaoduo blushed, thinking that all of you have discovered this, so do mom and dad know?Then he remembered that when his mother talked to Gu Haiya just now, he was a little unnatural, so he probably knew it.

"Then why is Hai Ya here?" Yu Xiaoduo asked again.

"He came to help us improve the source code." Dr. Tao said, "The brain computer cannot accurately decipher all this memory, and Mr. Gu needs to add some details."

Yu Xiaoduo's face collapsed, and Hai Ya also knew that the secret passage was over.

Dr. Tao seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, we haven't told anyone about your sexual orientation. Your parents and Mr. Gu have only read the deciphered data. As for what they will think, you can find out by yourself." ask."

Yu Xiaoduo said that I don't want it, thought about it, and asked, "What about Jobs?"

"Jobs is just an embedded program." Dr. Tao said, "It is mainly responsible for guiding you and preventing you from being addicted to the virtual world, otherwise you will never wake up again."

"Then why do you say a reward of [-] million?"

"It's also to prevent you from drowning."

"What's the reason for this?" Yu Xiaoduo asked puzzled.

"Wealth and sex are equally important to people." Dr. Tao said, "In order not to make you addicted to sex, we set a huge reward, which normal people generally cannot resist."

Yu Xiaoduo: "..."

After listening to Dr. Tao's explanation, Yu Xiaoduo felt that all this was both magical and absurd, and he was deeply shocked.

He still couldn't believe it, and always had the illusion that he was still the executor 007, but the recovered memory forced him to face the reality——

——He and Gu Haiya are just friends!

They met through games, went to Baiya Island together, Gu Haiya taught him diving, and traveled to Semporna together. He has always had a crush on this man in his heart and longed for him to be his boyfriend, but he never Didn't dare to say it.

There was indeed a little ambiguity between them, but that ambiguity was not enough for him to have the courage to take the initiative to confess, so he could only get along vaguely until they were sitting by the trestle bridge in Semporna, Gu Haiya was holding his hand.

Yu Xiaoduo remembered very clearly, at that time he thought his dream was about to come true, but a phone call shattered his dream, Gu Haiya let him go, said "I'll answer the phone", and left in a hurry.

Now it has been a year since that trip, during which he became a vegetative state, and then received treatment, and another winter came in a blink of an eye... No!What happened after that?

Yu Xiaoduo suddenly realized, why can't he remember what happened after returning from Xianbenna?

He immediately asked Dr. Tao, and Dr. Tao replied: "The neurons in the brain are only being repaired now, and it will take a while to function normally. I suggest that you first ask your relatives and friends about the lost memory, which will help you recover as soon as possible."

Yu Xiaoduo nodded, didn't say anything else, and rubbed the back of his head with his hands. There was a metal device there, which was a brain-computer interface embedded in his skull. It felt smooth and cold to the touch, as if silently confirming the authenticity of the whole thing.

"The brain-computer interface will take at least one year to remove." Dr. Tao said, "Your brain is still very fragile and cannot withstand a second craniotomy, which is easy to cause damage. It is best to wait for all your memories to recover."

After the conversation was over, Dr. Tao called his parents in, turned around and left, Yu Xiaoduo secretly glanced behind his parents, Gu Haiya was not there, and a moment of disappointment flashed across his face.

"Xiao Gu still has something to do in his unit, so let's go first." Yu Ma wrote lightly, "He asked me to tell you that he will come to see you with his friends in a few days."

"Got it." Yu Xiaoduo said guiltily.

"Little Gu helped a lot this time, and we have to thank him later."

"Oh……"

"Are you hungry, Duoduo? Mom will cook for you at home."

"Um……"

Mother Yu rubbed his head, told Father Yu to take good care of his son, and went back to Yu Xiaoduo's home in Kuncheng to work.

Yu Xiaoduo had to stay in the Academy of Sciences for a month, and he could not leave until all the indicators were checked normally. Yu's mother and father Yu went back and forth between their home in Kuncheng and the Academy of Sciences to take good care of him.

A week later, Gu Haiya brought Wan Feng and Song Hao to see Yu Xiaoduo.

Wan Feng and Song Hao still like to tease him so much, and are also keen on selling rot as always. Seeing the two talking and laughing, virtual and real memories began to float in his mind, Yu Xiaoduo only felt kind and dazed.

"Then let's go first." Song Hao said, "A lot of fish, I wish you a speedy recovery."

"Go slowly, I won't see you off." Yu Xiaoduo waved his hand, subconsciously looking at Gu Haiya.

"I'll come see you again in a few days." Gu Haiya said.

Yu Xiaoduo groaned, watched the three of them leave, fell down, put the quilt on his head, and sighed resentfully.

A few days later, Gu Haiya came, this time alone.

"Xiao Gu, sit down." Mama Yu said with a smile, "Eat an apple."

"Thank you, Auntie." Gu Haiya took it over.

"Mom, your complexion is not very good." Yu Xiaoduo said, "How about you and Dad go home and rest, and I will ask the staff to deliver dinner."

Yu Xiaoduo's parents have been taking care of him for so long, and they are already exhausted. Yu's mother looks haggard, and Yu's father's eyes are red and swollen. The couple just wouldn't listen.

Mama Yu glanced at Gu Haiya, hesitated and said, "Well... that's fine."

After finishing speaking, he poked Yu's father and gave him a wink. Yu's father understood and hurriedly agreed, and the two gave a few casual instructions and left.

Yu Xiaoduo was covered in black lines by his parents' eye contact (report), and wondered if he should be so obvious!

After the couple left, Yu Xiaoduo and Gu Haiya fell into silence. Yu Xiaoduo lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a while, both of them said at the same time: "You..."

Yu Xiaoduo: "..."

Gu Haiya: "..."

"You talk first." Gu Haiya smiled.

"You should talk first." Yu Xiaoduo was extremely embarrassed.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Gu Haiya said, "I'll go out and buy it for you."

"You help me decide." Yu Xiaoduo said indifferently, "My mother asks me what I want to eat every day, and it makes me numb."

Gu Haiya smiled: "Alright then, wait for me for half an hour."

after an hour.

When Gu Haiya returned to the ward, he found that Yu Xiaoduo had fallen asleep, his face was flushed, his mouth was slightly open, and he looked very obedient. Gu Haiya stood quietly by the bed, and it took him a long time to wake him up.

"Get up and eat." Gu Haiya said.

Yu Xiaoduo leaned against the head of the bed, Gu Haiya arranged the lunch box, opened the lid, and the fragrance immediately filled the room.

"You bought soy sauce chicken?" Yu Xiaoduo asked in surprise.

"The shop we often go to." Gu Haiya began to tear apart the chicken, while saying, "I also bought seafood porridge, and I will put the meat in the porridge for you, and you can eat it with a bowl."

That house of flies was twenty kilometers away from the Academy of Sciences, Yu Xiaoduo didn't expect Gu Haiya to make a special trip there, and couldn't help but feel warm.

"Take it." Gu Haiya handed him the porridge, "Eat it while it's hot."

Yu Xiaoduo took it over and said in a low voice, "Hai Ya, thank you."

He actually wanted to say thank you for your help these past few months, thank you for coming to see me, and thank you for buying me soy sauce chicken, but in the end there was only this simple "thank you" in the end.

"Don't say that." Gu Haiya said, "I didn't take good care of you."

Yu Xiaoduo understood what Gu Haiya meant, after all, this accident was inseparable from him.

At that time, they were diving with a group in Madai. It was a wreck dive site with a depth of about 20 meters. Due to the strong ocean currents, it was necessary to enter the water with negative buoyancy. Everyone emptied the BCD airbags and jumped into the sea. Immediately afterwards, an accident happened unexpectedly.

During the dive, Gu Haiya followed Yu Xiaoduo, saw him throwing away the respirator, grabbed the spare respirator, and frantically touched the gas cylinder with his backhand, immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to catch up to the rescue. But due to the fast sinking speed and the turbulent undercurrent, Yu Xiaoduo was dragged into the bottom of the sea by the ocean current before Gu Haiya could catch him.

In the end, Gu Haiya found him a few meters away from the sinking ship, and he was rushed to the local hospital for emergency treatment after getting out of the water. Unfortunately, due to prolonged hypoxia and decompression sickness, Yu Xiaoduo’s brain was severely damaged and he never woke up again. come over.

Yu Xiaoduo had no impression of the whole thing, it was Gu Haiya who told him the detailed process, Yu Xiaoduo couldn't believe that he didn't open the gas cylinder before getting into the water? !

This is definitely a low-level mistake for divers!

Witnesses, including Gu Haiya, were very sure that Yu Xiaoduo had checked the pressure gauge before entering the water, so he suspected that someone had secretly turned off his gas cylinder, but there was no evidence, and the residual pressure of the BCD would also cause pressure The hands of the watch jump, so the accident can only be ignored.

This incident made Gu Haiya extremely guilty. After returning to China, he went to Yu Xiaoduo's parents to plead guilty, but the couple knew very well that this was just an accident, and no one could be blamed, but fate was the only one to blame.

Yu Xiaoduo was even less likely to blame Gu Haiya, so when the other party said sorry to him, Yu Xiaoduo pretended to be relaxed and said:

"I'm not good! And it was a blessing in disguise, enjoying a high-tech treatment. Now I feel like Neo in "The Matrix", hahaha..."

"I really don't blame you." Yu Xiaoduo put down the bowl, and said in a deep voice, "I don't blame anyone, just let this matter go, and don't mention it again."

After dinner, Yu Xiaoduo pestered Gu Haiya to ask what happened after he came back from Malaysia. Gu Haiya probably said that it was nothing important, it was nothing more than the two of them playing games every day, going out for dinner when they had time, and making appointments. After several dives, Yu Xiaoduo almost died the last time.

Yu Xiaoduo said in his heart no way, no way?

Obviously they were so ambiguous in Semporna, but they have come back for such a long time and there is no progress?Could he be lying to me?But from Gu Haiya's expression, he couldn't see anything unusual, and in the end he had to attribute it to being too cowardly.

The two chatted until after nine o'clock, when someone came to remind Yu Xiaoduo that it was time to rest, Gu Haiya bid farewell to him, Yu Xiaoduo looked sad.

"I'll see you when I'm free." Gu Haiya said.

Yu Xiaoduo nodded: "Then you go, be careful on the road."

After 20 days.

Yu Xiaoduo was discharged from the hospital, and his parents took him back to his home in Kuncheng.

After the accident, his parents went through the resignation procedures for him, and he became paralyzed on the bed in a vegetative state. Naturally, it is impossible to go to work again, so Yu Xiaoduo is now a vagrant, doing nothing every day.

He planned to find a foreign trade company to work again, but was scolded bloody by his mother, so he had to give up resentfully, thinking that if this continues, the whole person will be useless!

Just when he was complaining, Cheng Yanqiu, the former boss of the company, called.

After Yu Xiaoduo woke up, all the major media rushed to report his affairs, such as "the first vegetative person in brain-computer rehabilitation", "XX Academy of Sciences' brain-computer project has made great progress", and even exaggerated and directly wrote "the greatness of human history Change, consciousness immortality is no longer a dream."

Fortunately, the report concealed his real identity information, otherwise Yu Xiaoduo would not even dare to leave the house now, and Cheng Yanqiu only knew that Yu Xiaoduo had been discharged from the hospital through the news.

Cheng Yanqiu first congratulated him on his smooth recovery, and then invited him back to the company to continue working as a business manager. Yu Xiaoduo was a little puzzled, thinking that after all, it was a company with an annual turnover of nearly [-] million yuan, so how could it be possible that he hadn't been able to recruit anyone?

Cheng Yanqiu seemed to be aware of his doubts, and took the initiative to explain: "After you left, the company hired a new business manager. He is not capable, and he is far behind you. He was fired by me last month. This is not a worry. Man, I just heard that you were discharged from the hospital, so I will call you right away."

"Little Duo." Cheng Yanqiu said sincerely, "We have been working together for several years, we need to have feelings and understanding, and we need to have a tacit understanding. These days when you are not here, when I think of you, I feel so sad that I shed tears."

"Thank you Mr. Cheng." Yu Xiaoduo was so moved that he was about to cry.

"So hurry up and come back." Cheng Yanqiu said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. The Spring Festival is only a month away. The company will report after the festival."

Yu Xiaoduo said goodbye heartily, worrying about being bored at home, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'll go over tomorrow, and get acquainted with the business first."

"That's great!" Cheng Yanqiu laughed, "That's the deal."

Hanging up the phone, Yu Xiaoduo started to do his mother's and father's ideological work. He acted coquettishly and shamelessly, and almost rolled over. Finally, he persuaded the couple. Yu Xiaoduo was very happy, and immediately put this Good news for Gu Haiya.

"Congratulations." Gu Haiya said, "Pay attention to your body and don't get tired."

Yu Xiaoduo was sweet in his heart, nodded and said, "Got it."

The next day, Yu Xiaoduo returned to the company to report on his work, and was warmly welcomed by all his colleagues. Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Yu Xiaoduo felt as if he had passed away.

Cheng Yanqiu took him to get acquainted, Yu Xiaoduo listened carefully, and at the same time slandered that it was better to be a female boss, gentle and considerate, the male boss in the virtual world was simply too cruel!

Although the company added a lot of new customers this year, Yu Xiaoduo did not waste his business in the virtual world, so he regained his senses in just a week, and when the holidays came, he seemed to have returned to the majestic Manager Yu at the beginning. .

On December 23 of the lunar calendar, Kuncheng Ruyi Airport.

Today, Yu Xiaoduo will return to his hometown with his parents for the Spring Festival, Gu Haiya will come to the airport to see him off, the two chatted for a long time in the waiting hall until the radio announcement sounded.

"Duo Duo, it's time to board the plane." Mama Yu reminded.

Yu Xiaoduo groaned, looking at Gu Haiya, a little bit reluctant to leave.

Gu Haiya hesitated for a moment, hugged him, and said, "Go in, see you after the festival."

Yu Xiaoduo blushed, glanced at his parents, the couple looked down at the phone together, and the movements were very artificial, the corners of their mouths twitched.

"Then I'm leaving." Yu Xiaoduo said, "Go back to the mobile phone to contact, remember to log in at night, and take me to eat chicken!"

Gu Haiya smiled and said yes, then Yu Xiaoduo slowly followed his parents to line up, the moment he passed the security gate, he couldn't help turning his head, and saw Gu Haiya standing there, looking at him from afar , I felt sore immediately, and quickly turned around and went in.

On the plane, Yu Xiaoduo leaned against the window, staring in the direction of the departure hall.

The huge glass curtain wall refracted the dazzling glare, blocking his sight, but he seemed to vaguely see someone standing in the waiting hall.

The plane started, and then accelerated on the runway. After a few breaths, it roared and charged into the vast sky.

Amidst the deafening roar, Yu Xiaoduo left Kuncheng with nostalgia for that person.

The author has something to say:

Some friends have already guessed the setting of "vegetative person", but this article has n times of reversals, so...

To summarize the current doubts:

1. At the beginning of the article, 007 remembered that he was in the car, but in this chapter he was told that it was a diving accident.

2. It is obvious that 008 has memories in the virtual world, but Dr. Tao said in this chapter that he is just an information provider.

3. ... It's gone, let's talk about spoilers, the next two episodes are about the acquaintance of 007 and 008 in the real game, and the plot of Chapter 24 continues.
