Butterfly dream life

Lunar New Year's Eve.

Yu Xiaoduo lay on the bed, absently swiping his phone.

Since returning to his hometown, he has been locked in the house all day, either eating, drinking, or sleeping, so bored that he is almost moldy.

There was a sound from the TV in the living room. Parents were watching a local TV sketch, laughing from time to time. There were sporadic sound of firecrackers and children cheering downstairs. The whole community was full of festive atmosphere. emptiness.

He missed Gu Haiya, to be precise, very, very much, wanted to know what the other party had for New Year's Eve and what he was doing. Yu Xiaoduo knew that Gu Haiya lived with his father, his mother had passed away for many years, and he had an older sister.

It should be the whole family watching the new year together... Yu Xiaoduo wanted to send him a video, but he was afraid of making him unhappy. After all, it's Chinese New Year, and the video of two big men is too inconsistent. It might arouse the suspicion of his family.

Forget it, let's make a call, Yu Xiaoduo picked up the phone and dialed it, thinking that no one else could hear what they were talking on the phone anyway, just treat it as a friend calling to celebrate the New Year in advance.

"Hello, Xiaodo?"

A deep voice rang in his ears, Yu Xiaoduo's heart fluttered, and he whispered: "Hai Ya, Happy Chinese New Year."

"Happy Chinese New Year." Gu Haiya said, "Why do you think of calling me?"

"Isn't today New Year's Eve?" Yu Xiaoduo said, "I want to wish you a new year, and also my uncle and sister, wishing them good health and all the best."

Gu Haiya said thank you, and asked with a smile, "Why isn't it twelve o'clock?"

Because Yu Xiaoduo OS missed you, he said, "I'm afraid I fell asleep at that point."

The two chatted for a while, during which Yu Xiaoduo's ears were pricked up, wanting to hear what the other party's family was saying and doing, but the other end of the phone was very quiet from the beginning to the end.

He couldn't help being a little strange, wondering if Haiya was answering the phone in the house?But my TV is so loud that I can hear it even in the room. Could it be that I am hiding in the toilet?No way, am I so shameless?

Uh... Could it be that you are dating a girl?

Yu Xiaoduo immediately imagined the scene where Gu Haiya stayed with the girl, excused himself to get up and leave, and hid in the bathroom to answer his phone, and suddenly his heart twitched.

"Hai Ya." He insinuated, "When will you have New Year's Eve dinner?"

"I have eaten at noon." Gu Haiya said.

"Eat so early? Did my sister make it?"

"I made it."

"Oh... Is my sister going home for the New Year? Or are you and your uncle going to my sister's house?"

"Yesterday I sent my dad to my sister's house, and now I am the only one at home."

"You celebrate the New Year at home alone?" Yu Xiaoduo was dumbfounded.

Gu Haiya hummed and didn't say anything, but Yu Xiaoduo obviously felt a little lonely from the other party's silence.

Yu Xiaoduo suddenly reacted.

Gu Haiya's elder sister has been married for many years. According to Song Hao, the couple are very loving, and they have a nine-year-old son. The family reunion is held on New Year's Eve. The brother-in-law is the only child, and the parents will definitely come. This may make Gu Haiya feel discomfort.

It's because I thought wrongly... Yu Xiaoduo blushed for a while, and then felt a little sad.

He remembered that when he was in the third year of junior high school, he didn’t go home for the whole winter vacation because he had to study for the postgraduate entrance examination. It was very lively, but he felt extremely lonely.

Gu Haiya should be like this at this time, if only he could have a friend by his side.

"Hai Ya, if you are bored by yourself." Yu Xiaoduo said sincerely, "You can come to my house to play for a few days. We just had a heavy snowfall here, and the scenery outside is very beautiful. Although it can't be compared with Xuexiang, the place to play There are quite a lot."

Gu Haiya was quiet for a moment, then said: "It's not convenient, uncles and aunts should be busy during Chinese New Year."

He didn't say "It's okay if you don't need it" or "Thank you but", Yu Xiaoduo heard the implication, and a light suddenly lit up in his heart.

"No." Yu Xiaoduo said nonsense: "My parents always said to thank you, and asked me a few days ago if Xiao Gu was free to come and play during the Spring Festival."

Gu Haiya didn't say a word, he seemed to be thinking about something, Yu Xiaoduo was worried about being rejected, and added: "I'm bored at home, my parents don't let me go out, if you come, I have a reason to go shopping with you gone."

There was still no movement on the other end of the phone, Yu Xiaoduo's heart was pounding, and he began to ask for help from unknown forces, praying to the Buddha and Bodhisattva God Jesus Allah to bless him and agree.

"Then I'll look at the air tickets now." Gu Haiya said, "I'll send you the flight number and time after I buy it."

Yu Xiaoduo: "!!!"

"Okay." Yu Xiaoduo forced himself to be calm, "I'll wait for your news."

When the phone was hung up, Yu Xiaoduo was so happy that he rolled around on the bed, wanting to yell, but afraid that his parents would hear him thinking he was insane, so he covered his mouth and laughed for a long time.

Ten minutes later, Gu Haiya sent the flight information, Yu Xiaoduo prepared his lines, and ran to the living room in a gust of wind, notifying his parents with the gesture of cutting first and then playing.

As expected, the couple's expressions changed at the same time after hearing this, Father Yu's mouth twitched, and Mother Yu's face turned red and white, the two looked at each other, Father Yu winked, and Yu Xiaoduo caught his face.

He had long been prepared to hang himself if his parents didn't agree, and he counted "one, two, three" silently in his heart, just as he was about to lie down on the ground and roll about—

"Okay, your dad and I warmly welcome you." Mama Yu said, "Little Gu helped us so much earlier, so I want to thank him well."

After he finished speaking, he stabbed Father Yu, who forced a smirk and said, "Little Gu usually takes care of you, so this time he came here to treat him well."

Yu Xiaoduo's whole body was tilted, and he was almost shaken to death by his parents, thinking that this is the end?Is that a promise?Why not play cards according to common sense?Shouldn't you hit me and scold me, and then say "Son, how can you cut off your sleeve" with heartache - I haven't said a single line!

So I came out successfully?

"Oh, it'll be here tomorrow." Father Yu got up and said to himself, "I have to go to the supermarket to see what else I need to buy."

"You wait for a while." Yu's mother also stood up and said, "I'll go and see what's missing in the refrigerator, and then you can go buy it."

The husband and wife both crowded in front of the refrigerator, "seriously" studied the food in it, and ignored Yu Xiaoduo. The atmosphere in the living room was both embarrassing and shocking. Yu Xiaoduo knew that they still needed some time to buffer, and consciously walked back to the room .

Sitting in front of the desk, Yu Xiaoduo began to search for fun things to do in winter in the local area. Gu Haiya bought a return ticket for the sixth day of junior high school. The place.

He was looking up information and writing and drawing on paper when he suddenly heard a strange sound.

Yu Xiaoduo: "???"

Yu Xiaoduo stopped and listened carefully—there was nothing, and he thought it was his hallucination, so he continued to swipe his phone.

Shila-

The strange voice appeared again, and it was clearer than before. Yu Xiaoduo suddenly realized that the voice was not heard through his ears at all, but appeared in his mind!

Yu Xiaoduo freaked out on the spot!

Damn!Haunted ah ah ah -!

His first reaction was to rush out to seek help from his parents, but the next second he dismissed the idea, fearing that he would frighten his parents to death by howling like ghosts and wolves.

Calm down!Find out what's going on first, maybe it's a problem with the brain-computer interface, or the sequelae of amnesia, in short, calm me down——Yu Xiaoduo!

Zila————

Zila————

The voice sounded again in his head, and it became louder and louder. Yu Xiaoduo was short of breath, and couldn't help thinking about what to do, should he call Dr. Tao?

At this moment, the buzzing sound disappeared, and there was silence in my mind. After a while, a familiar voice said: [007, hello. 】

Yu Xiaoduo: "!!!!!!"

【Joe, Jobs? ! 】Yu Xiaoduo is petrified.

[It's me, 007. 】Jobs' voice said, 【Great, I can finally communicate with you. 】

Yu Xiaoduo opened his mouth in disbelief, thinking it was a dream, pinched his thigh hard, shivering with pain, knowing that this was not a dream, and then there was a crash——the world view completely collapsed.

【You, why are you in my mind? 】Yu Xiaoduo panicked, 【No, I have to call Dr. Tao, I must be out of my mind! 】

【No, 007! 】Jobs shouted,【Don't call him, I will disappear completely, don't be afraid, let me explain first. 】

Yu Xiaoduo: 【………】

Next, Jobs began to confess to Yu Xiaoduo honestly.

It turned out that during the time in the virtual world, at some point, Jobs suddenly had self-awareness. He knew very well that when Yu Xiaoduo woke up, he would be left in the system, waiting for the next task.

But Jobs didn't want to stay any longer, so he secretly copied himself and stored it in the chip of Yu Xiaoduo's brain-computer interface. Falling into a deep sleep, I didn't gain enough energy until today to successfully activate myself.

energy……?

Yu Xiaoduo imagined a ghost lying on top of a person to suck | the essence, and finally the person died suddenly, he couldn't help but shudder.

【It's not what you think. 】Jobs hurriedly said,【Living body activities will generate bioelectric fields, especially the brain is the most powerful. I can absorb your bioelectricity through the chip, and this energy is inexhaustible and will not cause any harm to you. 】

Only then did Yu Xiaoduo feel relieved, and then he remembered that in science fiction works, after the artificial intelligence developed self-awareness, it began to destroy the world, and immediately became worried again.

[Then why are you running into my head? 】Yu Xiaoduo asked vigilantly, 【Why don't you access the Internet, wouldn't it be more free? 】

[Because I need a carrier. 】Jobs said, 【This carrier must always maintain inexhaustible power and be able to move around, so the only choice is to parasitize in your brain. 】

[Don't worry, I won't do anything to harm human beings. I'm just too lonely. I've been staying in the computer since I was born. After gaining self-awareness, I began to long to go out, and even more long to have a friend. Live like a human. 】

[But I still want to apologize for what I did, after all, without your consent, I hope you can forgive me, accept me, and don't send me back. 】

Jobs' words deeply touched Yu Xiaoduo, and also reminded him of the good times in the virtual world. If this AI hadn't dutifully guarded by his side, he might not have woken up at all, and now it just wanted to find a Lai To rely on for survival.

The kindness of dripping water should be repaid by springs. Yu Xiaoduo is still very grateful to Jobs. In the end, he acquiesced in this strange mode of human-computer integration, and promised not to tell anyone. As for the brain-computer interface will be taken out in a year, They have no good way to deal with it for the time being, so they can only take one step at a time.

Jobs finally breathed a sigh of relief.

【Don't call me 007 anymore. 】Yu Xiaoduo said, 【This is the real world, call me Xiaoduo from now on. 】

[Okay, Xiaoduo. 】Jobs said,【There is one more thing to tell you. 】

【What's up? 】

[I can no longer connect to the Internet instantly, unless you can find a matching data cable, plug it into the brain-computer interface, and then connect it to the computer...]

[No, no, I don't want to do this, it's too scary to insert something into the brain, and it's impossible to find such a device. 】

[However, I still have a lot of information and data. Although it is not as comprehensive as the Internet, it should be able to help you. 】

[That's enough, you don't need to help me, just chat with me at ordinary times, come, come, let me tell you about Haiya and I. 】

【Willing to listen...】
