I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

——She thought Arturo would do something else.

It turns out that Arturo is just a sixteen-year-old girl after all.

but……

"That's great, Arturo."

"I hope you can continue to surprise me tomorrow. After all, maybe I will gradually fall in love with you, who knows?"

Turning nimbly in Arturo's tight embrace, Icarus looked at the girl's face as she fell asleep peacefully.

He couldn't help but have some bad thoughts in his mind, but his eyes were more about recognition of Arturo's growth and choices, and expectations for the future.

Give him a small reward, even though Arturo may not be able to feel it.

Thinking of this, Icarus gently kissed Arturo's snow-white forehead in the moonlight, then looked at his childhood sweetheart's cold, holy and beautiful face in the moonlight, and said in a gentle and soft tone:

"Goodnight, Arturo."

“I wish you a dream as beautiful as a sea of ​​blooming flowers.”

"See you tomorrow."

After saying that, Icarus closed his eyes completely, curled up in Arturo's arms, and gradually fell asleep in the warmth and softness around him and the refreshing body fragrance of the girl.

The moonlight still gently watched the two girls sleeping in the same quilt.

Together with the numerous stars gathered around, this scene was carefully recorded forever.

A night without words...

Chapter 178 Strange Dreams and Strange Inherited Memory

Close your eyes, open your eyes.

For most people it will be the end of night and the beginning of dawn.

But for Ikaros, ever since she was bound to the simulator system, her nights no longer belonged to her. In order to better adapt to the power she gained from the simulation, Ikaros would once again personally live her own life in the simulation in her dreams.

To learn the other person's skills, abilities, knowledge, and therefore to experience the other person's feelings, experiences and part of life.

Therefore, every time he closed his eyes at night, Ikaros would be prepared that when he opened his eyes he would find himself in the gorgeous garden of a mansion somewhere in Victoria, a pavilion deep in the mountains somewhere in Dayan, or a flower shop in an advanced city under the deep sea.

Just tonight, looking at the vast nothingness around me, a world made of pure paleness.

Ikaros fell silent.

She observed the scene around her, and wherever her eyes went, there was nothing but meaningless whiteness, as if this was the starting point of the world and also the end of the world.

Empty, cold, vague, endless, deep...

These are the most intuitive feelings that this space brings to Ikaros.

No life, no hope, and no future.

Everything seemed empty, bland and meaningless, just like the meaning represented by the only pale color in this space.

Ikaros felt very uncomfortable.

Her body and heart instinctively rejected this pale space.

The disgust from the depths of her soul made her frown.

She wanted to leave here as soon as possible, and preferably never come back.

"Grand Duke, Tao, Breed, are you there?"

Ikaros called out several names, hoping that one of them would respond to him and drag him into the inheritance space they had constructed.

But Ikaros's call obviously would not be responded to by anyone.

Apart from the faint echo of the voice in the pale space, there was nothing else and no one answered.

"Tsk, isn't he here..." This made Ikaros click his tongue, but the girl, who was not going to sit there and wait for death, looked at the only pale road ahead that could lead to her way forward. After thinking for a moment, she walked up without hesitation.

Anyway, this is his dream. Ekalos doesn't think that anything unexpected will happen to him in his dream with the system by his side.

So compared to continuing to sit and wait for death in this place that she hated, Ikaros would rather be reckless and choose to walk directly on the path in front of her that seemed to have been designed in advance.

After all, maybe this is a new "test" prepared for me by the system and the few simulated memories remaining in my spiritual space?

Although the probability is very small.

But no matter what, Ikaros wanted to leave here.

So after making up her mind, she took a step forward without hesitation.

But this road is obviously much longer than Ikaros had imagined.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that there is absolutely no end in sight.

At the beginning, Ikaros could still rely on counting in his mind to estimate the time he would walk on this pale road that could only move forward.

But as time went by, the number reached hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, or even tens of millions.

In this empty and pale space without any reference points, Ekalos could not remember how long he had been walking.

The pale and empty space remains unchanged, and the long road seems to have no end.

No matter how far Ikaros advanced or how many steps he took, everything around him seemed to remain completely unchanged.

It was as if she had never moved, as if the concept of time did not exist in this space.

There is only endless emptiness, paleness, coldness and subtle torture.

"That's a bit... a bit too much."

Ikaros didn't remember how long he had been walking, he just felt that his mind was beginning to become hazy as he muttered to himself, nameless anger and rage brewing in his heart.

She was kind of going crazy.

Everything that was pale was wearing away Ikaros's sanity, and the disgust he felt for this space was wearing away his patience and will.

Ikaros is not a fragile person, but under the constant torture in this prison that seems like an endless cycle, even a being with an iron will cannot always remain optimistic and calm.

This is the same principle as dripping water wearing away a stone.

In comparison, death does not seem unacceptable.

At least the latter can still see the end, but the former is endless torture visible to the naked eye...

click-

It seemed that he sensed the instability of Ikaros's inner emotions and the signs that his will was gradually breaking down.

Suddenly, from the pale space that seemed to never change, there was a sound like breaking glass, echoing in the seemingly endless space.

Ikaros, who was beginning to feel a little desperate, immediately looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw that not far away in the direction where the sound came from, Ikaros's pale golden eyes looked, the pale space above the road that was originally spreading infinitely forward was like a piece of glass that was shattered by someone, and in the hole surrounded by cracks that spread like a spider web, there was a snow-white door.

The door was very ordinary, made of oak, white paint, with a gold handle and blue opaque frosted glass.

It looks like an ordinary door.

But Ikaros felt that there seemed to be something behind the door attracting him.

It made her alert.

But...she didn't have much chance to hesitate or think.

Therefore, after Ekalos saw the appearance of the door clearly, the space that seemed to have been smashed into pieces began to gradually recover, trying to return to its original appearance bit by bit.

This left Ikaros with no right to hesitate or think. If she did not leave and enter this door at this moment, then when this broken space was restored, what would be waiting for her would be an endless reincarnation.

Ikaros knew very well that in his current condition, it was impossible for him to walk such a long journey again.

So she has no choice.

All I can do is open this door and walk in.

And followed a flash of white light.

Ikaros' mind was in a trance for a short time, and then he regained clarity.

Everything pale and disordered before her eyes had disappeared, replaced by a corridor filled with various people wearing white coats, with their facial features covered by white light.

The corners of the corridor are filled with various green potted plants, the white porcelain floors are clean and spotless, the walls are inlaid with high-tech panel screens, and in the center of the corridor is a virtual human figure projected on a metal column, seemingly explaining something to the people around.

It gave Ikaros, who had previously walked for a long time in a space filled with only white light, a feeling of being in another world.

This is obviously not a scene that has appeared in any of his three simulations.

It couldn't possibly be my dream.

So... where exactly is this place?

After leaving that pale space, Ikaros gradually regained some ability to think and began to look around to determine where he was.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard Ikaros tried, he couldn't remember when he had come to such a place.

But before she could continue to think about some other possibilities, Ikaros found that her body moved.

The researchers around him who couldn't see his facial features clearly also noticed that Ikaros had started to move around, and they all came over and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Oh, it's ▇▇▇▇-senpai! Good, good morning! You look especially beautiful today too!"

“Eh? Senior ▇▇▇▇ Why are you here? Is it for some research project? Senior, look at me! I can help you for free!”

“What?! It’s Senior ▇▇▇▇? Damn it, why didn’t those guys from the Science and Technology Department inform us in advance! There will be no welcome banquet now. If we make Senior unhappy, we will be guilty of a thousand deaths!”

“▇▇▇▇Senior, here! Here!”

……

Search

In short, Ekalos felt as if he was surrounded by countless flies, which kept buzzing in his ears.

Although the voices of those who gathered around were probably researchers, they were not unpleasant to hear and their tones were filled with genuine enthusiasm and excitement.

But in Ikaros' ears, these sounds were very annoying, especially some parts seemed to be muted, which made Ikaros feel particularly uncomfortable.

She subconsciously wanted to leave here. After all, she didn't like communicating with people other than those she cared about.

Not to mention being surrounded and crowded like this.

But unfortunately... Ikaros found that he could not do anything, just like he entered the first-person perspective during the simulation.

Although Ikaros had the most realistic sensory experience at this moment, she could not control the actions of this body.

Fortunately, the real owner of this body obviously does not like such enthusiastic support.

Although this body still responded and greeted these researchers gently, the clear sense of alienation in the gentleness was clearly evident.

Ikaros could even feel the truest and darkest thoughts in the heart of the owner of this body.

Ah... what a bunch of annoying people. I wonder if I can just use them as experimental materials.

Maybe I could research a potion that would cause everyone's vocal cords to rot and carry it with them?

Otherwise, send the group of guys to a small pond to test their adaptability.

But I feel like it will make that person very distressed, so why not find a chance to kill them all? It's not difficult anyway, these annoying guys are just some flies and maggots...

The light golden eyes of the woman in the white coat flashed with a cold light and murderous intent that was completely different from the gentle smile on her face, and a hint of scarlet light also flashed silently.

The countless "handling" solutions that gradually emerged in the woman's mind all proved that she did have murderous intentions towards the people around her.

After all, in her eyes, there was nothing else except that interesting girl and that child who always wanted to chase her.

She didn't care about anything else...even the civilization that was born under her feet.

What she pursued from the beginning to the end was only to find the feeling called "love" in that "pale nothingness".

Other than that, she doesn't care about anything.

In order to understand and obtain "love", she was willing to give up everything, even the two children, even her own life.

Even... the entire civilization.

"Sister ▇▇▇▇! Why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
