In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

Lorelei subconsciously licked her lips, and Chen Yi, seeing this, distanced himself.

“Why are you so scared…” Lorelei grabbed him.

"Haha..." Chen Yi laughed awkwardly.

"...So, in reality, the Boiling One doesn't have much of an impact on you, right?"

"Actually, the impact is quite significant."

"Leaving aside dreams."

"Then it won't have any impact."

"Are you a machine spirit? Why can you enter my dream but Kluka can't? What's the difference in your abilities?"

Chen Yi then asked, looking at Lorelei's hesitant expression.

“I am a machine spirit, but Commander, there are differences between machine spirits…”

Lorelei whispered in Chen Yi's ear and gently bit his earlobe.

It's very itchy.

"However, I should know why Kroos can't come in."

The sound was very soft.

"What is it?"

Chen Yi pressed for an answer.

"Because she doesn't know how."

"So it turns out it's all thanks to your ability."

Chen Yi was speechless.

Lorelei gently placed her finger on Chen Yi's lips, stopping him from asking further questions.

"A woman with secrets is more alluring, isn't she?"

This is important intelligence, you bastard!

No matter how Chen Yi tried to subtly probe, Luo Leilai remained unmoved.

Seeing the other party's tight security, Chen Yi had no choice but to rely on the existing clues to deduce the truth.

"Strictly speaking, it's not a special ability, but Ruka can also master it."

"?" Chen Yi was puzzled when he heard Lorelei suddenly change her mind.

"Boiling Point can cause hallucinations, right?"

"Ah."

"The Boiling Ones can invade dreams, right?"

"Ah."

"Is it possible that I gained the ability to enter your dreams after I saw the Boiling One?"

How did you see it?

Chen Yi found the key point.

Lorelei leaned closer and gently wiped the corner of Chen Yi's left eye with her finger.

Now I understand.

"So you've always been able to see reality through my left eye?"

"You can see it occasionally, because it gets very dry if you keep your eyes open all the time."

P.S.: I'm so tired...

Love you all, meow! Please vote and tip meow!

Grade 11: Chapter 200 - Awakening from a Dream

Chapter 200

My breathing paused subconsciously for a moment, then became long and steady again.

Chen Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling.

The sensation of Lorelei's touch seemed to linger on my body, both close and distant.

She glanced at Kroos, who was lying on the bed with half of her body sticking out.

This bed is so big, no one else could roll to this position.

Chen Yi moved two chairs, about the same height as the bed, over from the side and gently placed them near the bed to prevent Kroka from falling to the ground.

Time to make breakfast...

Leaving the bedroom, Chen Yi randomly picked out a few ingredients from the refrigerator, boiled a pot of water in the kitchen, and began washing and chopping vegetables.

Although Lorelei's information sounds somewhat disjointed, a closer examination reveals that it is not entirely without clues.

First, as she said, Boilers create illusions, and Lorelei learned this ability after seeing it through her left eye.

Wait, that's not right.

The question is, can hallucinations be seen?

Chen Yi recalls that, according to the medical definition, illusions presented on the retina are usually called visual illusions or light stimuli.

Hallucinations of this magnitude, like those of the Boiling Point, are largely caused by direct effects on the visual cortex of the brain.

In other words, Lorelei might also be able to read her thoughts, just like Kroka, which is why she learned of the existence of the Boiling Ones.

If she can read minds, then she doesn't need my left eye to know about the existence of the Boiling Ones... So why does she describe the source of her dream-entering ability as 'seeing'?

So why did she lie to me?

This is what puzzled Chen Yi.

"...Commander, the water is boiling."

Klukka had woken up at some point and was standing next to him.

"Huh? Oh..." Chen Yi turned down the heat, then poured in the dumplings, and also put a few washed greens aside, to be added in later.

"Klukka, last night..."

Chen Yi revealed all the clues and speculations.

"I see... So the question is, does the boiling phenomenon really occur for no reason?"

Kroos suddenly asked.

".......?"

"Commander, I previously searched and organized information online and found that the frequent occurrence of the boiling phenomenon is actually regional."

"Regionalism? I don't mean it's similar to PTSD..."

"In fact, its mechanism of action is indeed similar to PTSD, but it is not necessarily a common type of PTSD."

"My research shows that although there is a wide group of veterans who suddenly became emotional after the war, they are a minority within the entire veterans community."

"You mean, there might be fake people causing the 'boiling phenomenon' on the battlefield where they are fighting?"

"...It's only possible. World War II was less than a hundred years ago, and humanity's research on boiling phenomena has only scratched the surface." The information Kluka found was almost entirely without conclusive evidence, so this line of thinking is only for reference.

"..." Chen Yi fell into thought.

"Commander, the dumplings are ready."

"okay."

......

"Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Oh, here to sign up for a sports event?" Hiratsuka Shizuka watched Chen Yi walk over, casually stubbed out her half-finished cigarette, and stuck it directly into the ashtray.

"Um, by the way, I have a question."

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned her chair around, anticipating what would happen next.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, can I not sign up for the group activity in the afternoon of next week's sports festival?"

"Why? Tell me."

"Uh......"

Can I say I don't really enjoy working with these guys whose names I can't even remember?

"How about this, Hiratsuka-sensei, let's make a deal."

Chen Yi chose to reveal his chips directly.

"There was a shooting competition this morning, right? I'll break the record and bring back the championship, how about that?"

"Hmm...that's quite an attractive proposal...Are you really that confident you can beat Yukinoshita?"

Hiratsuka smiled and took out her phone, quietly turning on the recording.

“…Hiratsuka-sensei, your movements are too exaggerated, I saw it all.”

"Oh dear~ I didn't do anything."

He's so old, yet he's still acting like a child.

Chen Yi ignored her attempt to find something to use against Yukino and continued to explain.

"As for Yukinoshita, beating her isn't too difficult, and breaking the record isn't too difficult either. It's just that winning the championship isn't easy," Chen Yi explained.

"Oh? You know other formidable rivals?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked with interest.

"My classmate Kato, who sits behind me, is probably a bit better than me."

Chen Yi made a gesture of pointing to the universe.

In reality, they are evenly matched, but if Chen Yi doesn't use his ultimate, he might not be able to secure a victory against Kato.

However, it's unlikely that Chen Yi wouldn't open it, because his left eye is passive and can't be turned off.

Are you sure it's really just a little bit?

Hiratsuka Shizuka sabotages things.

"More or less, it depends on how I perform. After all, Kato is a mental monster." Chen Yi shrugged.

Chen Yi occasionally noticed Kato Megumi practicing her shooting, and all he could say was that she was incredibly calm when she held a gun.

They don't feel pressure at all.

"Alright, I'll take this deal." Hiratsuka Shizuka thought for a moment and readily agreed.

She knew about Chen Yi's shooting talent, and it wouldn't be surprising if his actual skill level was higher than Yukino's.

Since this kid has offered to trade the championship for the team's exemption from playing, there's no point in arguing. Just agree.

......

"So Xiao Chen is also planning to participate in Wargame?" Yuihama said with some surprise.

"This kind of gameplay has quite a large audience, why do you say that?"

Chen Yi looked at Yui Bin. He seemed like a very strict person who didn't touch any entertainment.

"I just noticed that when Xiao Chen comes to the Service Department, he usually reads books and codes, and doesn't seem to participate in any conversations. I thought he didn't care about anything..."

"Yui, that's a very rude way to say it," Miko Yotsuya reminded her from the side.

"Oh, sorry!" Yui Hama realized belatedly.

"Uh, no need." Was that offensive? Chen Yi didn't understand.

"So you guys bring toy guns when you participate in wargames, right?" Chen Yi confirmed.

"Otherwise what? We can't really use blank rounds like in military exercises, can we? Blank rounds can kill people too."

"..."Then I really need to buy a toy gun, the kind that fires water bullets.
