Chapter 38

"Miss, miss, wake up! Wake up!"

"Hmm..." I vaguely recognized the voice, and muttered, "Molin, let me sleep a little longer...I'm so tired..."

Having said that, Mo Lin's voice became blurred again, and only some noises could be vaguely heard.I opened my eyes in dissatisfaction, and suddenly found that I was still lying on the bed yesterday, the sun had already illuminated half of the room into golden yellow, and Mu Xian was still sleeping soundly beside me.

"Fake..." An intermittent voice suddenly resounded clearly in my mind, "Miss... Commander..."

I was startled, and my whole body woke up—it was Maureen's voice!Am I dreaming or hallucinating?
Not dreaming.I woke up just now, and I heard his voice clearly in my mind.

"Molin! Molin!" I shouted loudly, Mu Xian suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and hugged me: "What's wrong?"

I listened carefully to the surroundings, but only the sound of the wind and the stream outside the window remained.

"Did you hear Mo Lin's voice just now?" I looked at Mu Xian.

He stared at me: "No, it's been very quiet."

I told him everything just now, and he frowned slightly: "Fake?"

At this moment, a loud and careless voice came from outside the window: "Come down. Let's go." It was Yipu City.

Mu Xian got up to put on his clothes, and gave me a comforting look.I nodded.Then he opened the window and said calmly to the downstairs: "Wait a moment."

I just put on my trousers, when I looked up, I saw Mu Xian standing quietly by the bed, the sun painted his face a light golden yellow, his handsome eyebrows were as delicate as if painted with ink.And his gaze was so cold and calm, with a faint frost-like chill, making it impossible to look directly at.

Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat.Maureen's staccato words resurfaced in his mind again.

"Fake...Miss...Commander..."

Fake... Commander?

"Are you ready?" A faint voice suddenly sounded, and Mu Xian turned to look at me, with a little tenderness in his black eyes.

I snapped back to my senses, what was I thinking.How could Mu Xian be fake?No one can imitate the familiar body feeling and the words and deeds that make my heart beat.

I quickly put on my clothes and looked at him with a smile: "Let's go."

There was also a faint smile on his face, and he came over and took my hand.The cold fingertips just touched mine, and I shivered for no reason.He looked at me sideways: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's a little cold."

He paused and pulled me into his arms.I didn't think about that unbelievable thought anymore, I snuggled into his arms and went downstairs.

**
Mu Xian discussed with Yi Pucheng downstairs for a few minutes before deciding on a plan.

They decided to live in this village temporarily—since we know nothing about this planet, the chances of being rescued are the same no matter where we stay.And the conditions here are really good.

But today we are going to get some wood from the forest, so that if a rescue plane enters the atmosphere, we can set off a smoke warning.

After crossing the river, there is a misty forest.The soil is dark and moist, and the gray and white trees are as straight as pillars.The noon sun shines down from the dense canopy, turning the mist into a faint golden color.

Yipucheng walked in the front, his tall back was like a door panel, but the lines looked slender and powerful.Mu Xian led me at a leisurely pace, with a calm face, as if he was in deep thought.The forest is quiet and quiet, only the sound of us stepping on the thick leaves, rustling.

I couldn't calm down, I kept thinking about Maureen's voice.

There are two possibilities: First, it is my auditory hallucination, after all, it has happened before.Then there is no need to delve into it; second, he is indeed talking to me, through some mysterious way that I don't know.

If it is the second type, what exactly is he trying to say is false?Mu Xian is definitely not fake, so Yipu City is fake?

Or... a thrill in my mind - this world, is it fake?
I dismissed the speculation almost immediately—how could it be?Everything here feels real—the dampness of the forest, the rush of the flood, the ferocity of the beasts...and if it's a fake world, how can we possibly be in it?

But in my mind, I still think of all the bizarre things and special signs that have happened in this world in the past few days——

In the wasteland where I was before, the colors of everything would change together, gray, white, red, and maybe other colors; but the colors here are so normal;
This planet is exactly 24 hours a day and night, exactly the same as the earth;
We met hundreds of unicorns perched on the top of the mountain, but they didn't make a sound, how could it be possible for normal beasts;

There is also a huge flood that emerges from the ground, destroying the entire continent in an instant, and they come so without warning;
There is also clean water, clean land, even the meat of unicorns is clean, the whole world is spotless;
There are also villages that suddenly appeared, beautiful, comfortable, and well-stocked, as if they were specially prepared for us;
And Mu Xian and Yi Pucheng lost their memory at the same time by such a coincidence;
……

"My friends, another surprise has been born." Yipucheng's slow voice came.Startled, I looked up.I saw the end of the woods ahead.Through the sparse leaves, there is a green and vast grassland in front of us, and a white and towering giant stone castle stands in front of us.

Thinking about the guess just now, and seeing this mysterious castle again, I couldn't help but gasp.Yi Pucheng and Mu Xian turned their heads to look at me almost at the same time.

"Is something wrong?"

"what happened?"

Facing the sharp eyes of the two, I shook my head: "It's okay, it's just a surprise." Mu Xian looked at me with deep eyes: "Don't be afraid." Yi Pucheng glanced at me, and suddenly an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and turned Turning around, the first one out of the woods.And I looked at his back, thinking that Mu Xian was going to kill him today, and I became more and more anxious.

Looking closer, the castle is even more magnificent and beautiful.The wall exudes a clear luster like jade in the sun, and the shape of the entire castle is also elegant and round.Yi Pucheng stepped forward and knocked on the round gate made of mahogany, who knew that the gate was not locked at all, and he slowly knocked open a crack.

The castle remained empty, as expected.

But when we searched the past from house to house, we were still shocked.Because every room here is beautifully decorated; every room is full of treasures.

There is a whole room full of jewellery, including diamonds, silver ornaments, and materials I have never seen before. Most of them are generous in style, bright and exquisite, dazzling;

There are cabinets of women's clothes, some are elegant, some are bright, and the texture is exquisite and soft, which makes my heart beat a little bit when I look at it.

There are even boxes of children's toys, which are exquisite and cute; there is also what Yipu City claims to be "the most expensive energy ore in the galaxy", the stone is crystal clear like water patterns...they are piled up in this castle.

I have been to the palace of Star Stan, and it is not as luxurious as this castle.And most of the things are for women and children.I don't know what kind of person the original mistress is, being so pampered by the master of the castle.

In the end, Mu Xian and I went back to the hall downstairs, but Yi Pucheng didn't come down with us.

"The emperor's castle? It's so fucking extravagant." He said, "I'm sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth if I don't take it away." But he can't really take it all away. The room, carefully selected.

The hall is quiet, and the surrounding walls are covered with Picasso-style abstract and exaggerated oil paintings.Mu Xian let go of me, walked forward with a frown, and looked carefully, probably to see if he could find some clues.

I also wandered around the oil painting, but I couldn't understand it at all, and my mind was not on it at all.After arriving at the castle, I felt more and more that there was something wrong with this world.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help looking at the gate of the castle a few steps away, and suddenly wanted to take another look at the outside world.I walked over slowly and gently opened the door.

I froze completely—

This is……

How could this be?
"Hua Yao?" Mu Xian's doubtful voice sounded from behind.

I swallowed, my voice trembling: "Mu Xian, come here. Outside..."

The outside world is no longer what it was just now.

No, nothing left.The blue sky, the sun, the forest, and the grass are all gone.In front of my eyes was a gray chaos, with streaks of dark light in waves, densely scattered throughout it, the vastness was like a deep seabed.But they are neither water nor mist.They look transparent and invisible, but you can't see what's inside.

Looking up against the gate of the castle, there is endlessness; looking down, there is an abyss.

Chaos is boundless, where is the sunny world before!This castle is simply suspended in a world of nothingness alone.

There were bursts of cold sweat on my back, and my hands and feet were a little cold.What the hell is this place?

Mu Xian had already walked to the side, I turned my head to look at him blankly.On the white cheeks, the black brows raised sharply, and shock flashed in his eyes.

"Mu Xian..." My voice sounded dry, "I think I know what Maureen is talking about. He means that this planet, this world, is fake."

Mu Xian's two eyebrows frowned together.He remained silent, just staring at the nothingness outside the door.

After a while, a faint, almost indifferent smile flashed across his face, and his voice sounded soft and cold: "You're right. This is a scene that only exists in virtual spaces."

I am familiar with this expression and tone, he is obviously a little angry.What does virtual space mean?
He looked at me with those sharp black eyes, was silent for a moment, and then slowly continued: "Hua Yao, the real human body cannot enter the virtual space. If this space is virtual, then we are not real either. .”

My heart shook heavily - what? !

I stared blankly at him for a few seconds, and asked almost awkwardly: "Then what are we?" If I'm not the real Hua Yao, then what am I?
Maybe it was because my voice was shaking too much, he reached out and took me into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. I will take you out."

I hugged him tightly, nodded, and heard him say again: "Virtual space can only be constructed in computer programs. It seems that someone has locked our consciousness in this virtual space."

My breathing was severely stagnated - that's why!Now me, just my consciousness?
Can computer programs be constructed?Isn't that...

"You can go." Yi Pucheng's smiling voice came from behind, I was shocked and turned to look.

Under the bright crystal lamp, he was standing directly above the stairs tens of meters away, carrying a suitcase in his hand, with a relaxed smile on his face.Seeing us, he was obviously taken aback, then shock flashed in his eyes, and he strode down.

"Fuck! Don't tell me this is a virtual space!" He growled, staring coldly at the door behind us.

Mu Xian and I watched him approaching step by step in silence.

Is he still pretending?His reaction seemed so genuine, like utterly unaware.

But if this is a virtual space, the most likely to create this space is the cyborg Yipu City.
