I loaded the dream game

........ ..... .......

It sounds reasonable. This is not the first time I have done something similar.

only……

Xia Zhi looked at the pink-haired girl in front of him and remembered another thing.

She once promised herself that she would solve all her worries, the most important of which was, of course, the unknown anomaly that caused all this.

And there is only one last requirement for the side quest... Ensure that the anomaly can be safely and stably controlled and contained.

The abnormality at this moment was only temporarily controlled by Rinne with her "Angel", and it is far from being able to be stably contained.

Finally, I will leave this world.

Until then, it will serve as a temporary container for the anomaly.

What will happen to her?

"For this final step..."

As if she could see what he was thinking, Rinne took a deep breath and smiled again.

"Has Xiazhi already thought of this?"

……pill.

Chapter 1336 The Reality in Illusion

This world will eventually end. This paradise created by the girl will eventually have to face the day of farewell.

This is a fact that both Xiazhi and Rinne are aware of.

From the beginning, the girl never thought of letting Xia Zhi stay in this world forever.

All she wanted to do was to take advantage of the coincidence of her birth, in this time gap that only existed in the past, to create an Eden that would make Xia Zhi feel happy and belong only to him.

Even if this kind of happiness is created by others...

Girl's Thoughts

"You have more important things to do." Rinne took a deep breath and said this.

So, next...

"Xiazhi, you only need to seal me again to completely contain this anomaly, okay?"

Just like Xia Zhi collected the spiritual crystals of other elf girls, the unknown anomalies that were supposed to fill the entire world have now been captured by the "paradise" created by Rinne and temporarily contained by "857". All that is left is to seal this world together to completely contain it.

But by then, without the spiritual crystal as the basis of her existence, she would be just an aggregate of spiritual power, or in other words, her true body would be the "Paradise of Reincarnation", so she herself would be sealed as well, right?

Xia Zhi realized this

Therefore, before that moment came, she hoped to give herself happiness as much as possible. That’s why she said those words to herself.

But

"It's not entirely for me, right?" After taking a deep breath, Xia Zhi looked into her eyes and asked.

Rinne was slightly stunned.

“Those were two questions.”

Ignoring the girl's surprised look, Xia Zhi continued to speak.

In addition to the girl's view of the world, he also asked another question.

"...What about your happiness?"

Facing his question, Rinne tilted her head slightly, "As long as Xia Zhi is happy, that's my happiness..."

"Is that really the case?" Xia Zhi interrupted her and asked.

If she really just wanted to make herself happy, like she said before, she just needed to bring Yoshino and the others into this world, right?

If that's the case, why would she come to me in person like this?

If you can't influence your consciousness and memory, and if you don't want yourself to know the truth, the best thing to do is just not to appear in front of yourself and not to tell yourself anything about this world, right?

Facts have also proved that her appearance did make him notice and realize many things in advance.

Even at the risk of all preparations being wasted, she came to him in the form of a girl named "Sonogami Rinne"

"You actually have your own wishes that you want to fulfill...right?" Xia Zhi looked into her eyes and asked.

"..."

The girl fell silent.

"...Xia Zhi thinks that such a world is fake?" After a moment, she changed the topic without continuing.

Perhaps because of nervousness, the girl's voice trembled slightly.

Xia Zhi, do you really like this world that you have created?

This was a question she had never thought about before and had subconsciously avoided in her mind.

What should I do if this paradise that I have worked so hard to create and the happiness that I want to give him are all just my wishful thinking?

At this final moment, she had to face these problems.

And, most importantly

"Do you think I am fake?"

The girl clenched her hands slightly in front of her chest, and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.

Born from "her" wish, I exist only as a collection of spiritual power. Unlike other elves, I can only exist in this fantasy world. Can I really be called "real"?

"That depends on how you understand the word 'false'."

Just when she was feeling nervous, she heard the boy's answer.

"According to the holographic universe theory hypothesis, everything in the universe is nothing more than a three-dimensional projection of the information recorded on the two-dimensional plane at the boundary of the universe... From this perspective, the objective universe we live in, including everything we experience in that world, can be regarded as the data inside a cosmic computer."

As for whether the data is presented in the form of a game, a movie, or an animation, it doesn't matter, Xia Zhi thought.

"According to this statement, even we in 'reality' may just be 'fake' existences."

Then correspondingly, there is nothing to worry about whether the world is "fake" or not, right?

"..."

After taking a long breath, Rinne showed a helpless smile on her face.

"Xiazhi, I really like to say some unromantic words."

The distinction between reality and illusion may not be strict, and the boundary between reality and dreams is actually not clear. Isn’t this quite romantic?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart. .........

Of course, this is looking at the problem from a rational perspective. If you want to think from an emotional perspective, it is not impossible for me to do it...

"For a story, whether it's a TV show, a movie or an animation, from the perspective of the 'audience', there are generally three stages." After thinking about it, he spoke.

In the first stage, you will feel that the story is fake, and everything in it is just some fictional characters and fictional stories.

In the second stage, you will begin to feel that the story is real, and you will be able to immerse yourself in it. You will be able to feel the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of the characters in the story, and feel their true emotions.

And the third stage...

“While I once again realized that the story was false, I was still able to feel the beauty that belonged to them and myself from this story and the characters, and gained something precious…”

Xia Zhi reached out his hand and gently lifted the hair on the side of the girl's face

So

"Even if it's an illusory world, aren't the memories, emotions, and happiness we experience in this world real?"

That's enough.

he said.

Of course, a person's dreams are illusory.

However, the sad or beautiful memories experienced in dreams with others cannot be denied.

This is probably one of the reasons why the dream game was originally set to require "online" to enter the dream.

The shared 5.2 bond and memories can make dreams "real"

For Xia Zhi, there is no clear dividing line between the illusory dream and the real reality.

So, whether the world is real or not is not important to him.

"Rinne..."

Xia Zhi stared into the girl's eyes and said softly, "You are the important one."

"..." Rinne pursed her lips slightly.

Although she was touched by Xia Zhi's words, when it comes to important people

"It shouldn't be me, but Yoshino and Kotori, right?" She took a deep breath and asked, slightly tilting her head.

"Who made you a pretty and lovely girl?" Xia Zhi replied, rubbing her fair and tender cheek.

more importantly……

"You are also the person I want to save." He continued.

So

"Tell me your wish."

.......

Chapter 1337: The Desire of New Life

Why did I come to the summer solstice?

Before this matter was pointed out to her, even Rinne herself had not thought carefully about the answer to this question.

If you just hope that Xia Zhi can live happily and joyfully in this world, then it would be enough for the world's will, which is invisible to anyone, to silently support and care for him.

If you really don't care whether Xia Zhi likes you or not, then you don't need to appear in front of him with this appearance and personality that everyone would like.

Does this contradiction between saying one thing and thinking another also indicate that I have another expectation in my heart...

Rinne thought.

She knew that she liked Xia Zhi very much, and she didn't care whether Xia Zhi chose her in the end or not.

But if it's possible... As expected, I still hope that he will like me...

The girl realized the answer that had been hidden in her heart.

So if I had to say, what is my wish?

"I 19 want to ..."

The girl's lips trembled slightly as she spoke her answer

"...At least before I leave this world, I want to stay with Xia Zhi as much as possible."

"That's all?" Xia Zhi tilted his head slightly.

“That’s all.”

Rinne breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and shook her head

I hope to be liked by the boy, but this does not mean that I expect to be rewarded for my efforts.

And more importantly, I have already obtained what I wanted most.

"Xiazhi doesn't need to do anything."

She said this

"This wish has come true."

Although the time is short, I am already very satisfied

She respected Xia Zhi's wishes, and if Xia Zhi wanted to leave, there was nothing she could do.
