I loaded the dream game

[Warning: The specified object has not been found within the area. Expand the search range according to Protocol No. 3.]

[Historical entry unlock record detected, record reading in progress...]

[Reading completed, currently unlocked restricted entries - race, space, time]

Race, space, time... A dream game that has unlocked these three restrictions in succession can theoretically search for any existence in this world from ancient times to the present, and even into the distant future, right?

however……

[Warning: The specified object was not found in the specified area. ]

Such a prompt appeared in front of Xia Zhi.

He was not surprised by this. After all, he had already verified that Yukinoshita Haruno's existence had been completely erased from this time and space, so it was normal that she could not be found.

Of course, there are almost infinite possibilities in the multiverse. There may be a being named "Yukinoshita Haruno" in other universes. As long as we continue to expand the search range, we will always find a nearly identical existence.

However, Xia Zhi was not too worried about this.

As mentioned before, the dream game will not misinterpret his "wishes" but will completely realize what he wants in the way he expects.

As long as Xia Zhi wants to find the Yukinoshita Haruno who once existed in this world, the dream game will not be able to use similar existences from other worlds to "impersonate".

Therefore, compared to worrying about this kind of thing, Xia Zhi is more curious about how the dream game will deal with the current situation?

[Confirmed, the specified target has not been found in the current multiverse, and the search strategy has been changed according to Protocol 23.]

[Starting to read the world line... Detected that the original world line has been deleted, restoring the world line record...]

[Recovery failed, try again...]

[Recovery failed, change the operation plan, and forcibly restore the world line record. ]

[Restoration successful, re-reading the world line...]

[Historical world line records have been read, and the world line is being reset...]

[Warning: Prohibition Regulation No. 83 has been triggered, and the world line reset has been forcibly terminated. ]

[Activate the backup plan, unlock the restricted terms - concept, existence]

[Re-search for optional objects...]

[Search completed, the current number of available heroines is: 1]

Summer Solstice: "..."

I have to say, he was shown off his skills.

If the prohibition rule is not triggered, do you really intend to reset the entire world line in order to search for a target object?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

Although this was to some extent in line with his wishes, he was still a little annoyed by this kind of arrogant behavior of completely disregarding the cost and forcibly achieving the goal.

You know, due to the filmization of the space-time structure, when trying to restore Yukinoshita Haruno's existence before the summer solstice, you were prompted to spend nearly 26,000 dream points.

And the tone of Dream Game just now sounded like it was obviously preparing to re-create an entire world line. If Xia Zhi wanted to do this, the points he would need would be even more than the former.

But the dream game didn't seem to care at all, even though Xia Zhi actually only paid more than 300 dream points for it.

This gave Xia Zhi an idea...

...Is it possible that, in fact, the dream game does not require any dream points at all to modify reality, and those points are just a restriction on the "player", that is, oneself?

In other words, the so-called number of points required to modify a setting is just a symbolic collection in the dream game?

Xia Zhi shook his head, temporarily put this thought aside, and turned his attention back to the game prompt in front of him:

[Dream copy generated, please select:]

[Option 1: The door to the other side]

So, if there is only one option, don't do any multiple-choice questions.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, then confirmed the choice of the copy.

The next moment, a deep sleep came over him without warning, dragging his consciousness into the familiar darkness...

Chapter 271 A Heterogeneous World

Cold, shaking...

This was Xia Zhi’s first feeling after regaining consciousness.

…After joking, I was shaking, but not at all cold. On the contrary, I felt warm, as if I was basking in the afternoon sun.

This was indeed the case. As soon as Xia Zhi opened his eyes, he was squinted slightly by the dazzling sunlight coming in from the window and could not help but turn his head to the side.

After a quick look around, Xia Zhi found himself sitting on an empty bus. There was no one else on the bus except himself and the driver. If it wasn't for the fact that it seemed to be afternoon now, he might have thought he had come to the supernatural film set next door.

The houses and trees outside the window kept receding, and the whistling sound of the wind came into the silent car from the half-open window. Xia Zhi thought for a moment, looked at the driver in front and asked:

"Uncle, where is this?"

"Ogawamachi, the next stop is the terminal." The driver answered casually.

He glanced at the confused look on the boy's face in the rearview mirror and said doubtfully, "I'm talking to you. Are you confused from sleeping?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with this place." Xia Zhi smiled shyly.

"Tourist?"

"That's it."

"That's really rare..."

"What's rare?" Xia Zhi looked puzzled.

Is it true that there are usually few outsiders coming to this city?

"You don't know anything, yet you dare to travel to a strange place alone. You get on the bus without even checking the bus route... It's rare to find such a bold and confused tourist like you nowadays." The driver sighed.

Summer Solstice: "..."

This person really doesn't know how to talk. Can't we say that he has an adventurous spirit?

Just as he was complaining in his heart, the bus arrived at the terminal not long after.

Xia Zhi didn't stay for long. He threw a fifty-yen coin into the coin box and got off the bus directly. He made the decision in his heart that he would never take this bus again.

On the other side, the driver didn't react until the boy's figure completely disappeared from his sight:

That's not right. Wasn't the car I just pulled empty? When did he get on the car?

Also... the bus fare is 200 yen now?

……

The bustling commercial streets are filled with noisy sounds.

Cars were passing by on the road, people were walking around, the sound of car horns and people's conversations mixed together, creating a very lively urban landscape.

The afternoon sun was shining down from the sky, and it was much softer than the sun just now, at least it was no longer so bright that people couldn't open their eyes. Of course, this could also be because the tall buildings around blocked some of the sunlight.

Walking aimlessly on the busy streets, Xia Zhi observed the people passing by while thinking in his heart.

When I just woke up, there was no one around me except the driver.

Ruling out the possibility of "jumping off the car", it means that after Yukinoshita Haruno was pulled into the copy this time, she did not appear directly next to him.

This situation hasn't happened for a long time.

In the first two copies, the "heroine" could be seen as soon as he opened his eyes, which made Xia Zhi subconsciously ignore the setting that the "heroine" of the copy would not necessarily refresh at the same starting point as himself.

...Oh, that's not right. When I went through the second dungeon, the first person I saw was not Teacher Mando, but Eluk?

Forget it, let's not worry about this kind of thing for now. Xia Zhi shook his head and thought.

I remember the last time this happened was when I first entered the dream dungeon, right? And the "heroine" of that dungeon was Yukino.

The only two times happened to happen to you two sisters. Is this a coincidence?

Xia Zhi thought about it for a moment and shook his head again.

· ········Request flowers··· ··

That can't be said, after all, I have only entered the dungeon four times so far, and the probability is only 50% at most. The sample is too small, so I can't make a direct conclusion.

But no matter what, it is always a troublesome thing that the target object does not appear directly next to you. After all, if something happens to them, not to mention that the related main tasks cannot be completed, you will probably be forced to exit this copy early, which will be a big loss.

Not to mention, unlike the situations in the previous copies, if I am not mistaken, Yukinoshita Haruno, one of the protagonists of this copy, can be said to be completely dependent on this dream copy for her existence. If she died in this copy, she would probably be considered completely "dead".

0 ......... ...

Fortunately, this dungeon world seemed to be quite peaceful at the moment. At least there was no zombie crisis, and no one came up to him and roared a dragon. He didn't need to worry too much about safety for the time being...

"Bam—"

Along with the sound of burning flames, like the setting sun that dyed everything red, the clear and mysterious crimson flames that shook violently turned into a substantial wall, covering the entire commercial street.

A strange geometric square diagram drawn by flames, which could not be identified as text or graphics, instantly expanded and reached the location of the wall of flames.

Immediately, the color of space and everything changed, becoming a dazzling bright red.

From the downtown area lined with restaurants and cafes, from the passing vehicles to the crowds of people, from the whistling breeze to the birds flying in the sky, everything seemed to be frozen in this bright red space, completely still.

It seemed as if there was only one person left in the entire world who could move.

"..."

Standing in this alien world, looking at the extremely abnormal scene before him, Xia Zhi fell silent.

Can I take back what I just said? Next.

Chapter 272: Should it be said that this is the first meeting?

The heavy rain kept hitting the window glass, and the howling wind made a sharp and piercing sound through the narrow window gaps.

The storm raged in the darkness, as if the whole world was submerged in the rain.

The girl stood in front of the hotel window, calmly looking at the scene that seemed like the end of the world, without any emotion in her eyes.

After a long time, she let out a long breath and smiled tiredly.

"Although I hate to say this, Yukino, this is the last favor I can do for you..."

The rest of the journey will depend on you alone.

"If possible, I really hope you can remember me..."

The girl murmured, took a deep breath, and gently closed her eyes.

……

It was dark, but not cold, just a little shady, and it felt quite comfortable...

So that's what it feels like after "death"? It seems to be no different from when I was alive.

The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked around in confusion, only to find that she was lying on a bench by the roadside. In front of her was a busy street with people coming and going, and behind her was a roadside tree. The shade cast by the dense branches and leaves just covered her body, which was why she felt so cool.

“… a strange city.”

The girl murmured.

The scene before her did not match any scene in her memory, which meant that she had come to a completely unfamiliar place.

So... was it a dream?

She pinched her arm lightly, and the clear pain from it reminded her that this was not a dream.

and……

Placing her hand gently on her chest, the girl breathed a sigh of relief as she felt the warmth and rhythmic beating coming from beneath her palm.

If this was also a dream, then it was too real.

But if this is not a dream, then why am I still alive?
