After all, he is a basketball now, and even if he wants to do something, he is powerless. There is no point in Yunxian setting aside this time.

Not to mention the three hours of regularity, which makes it even more subtle.

It can't be that the girl calculated it, right?

The blue butterfly fluttered and landed on Yunxian. She turned around, smiled beautifully, and explained, "Because lunch is in three hours."

"Eat lunch? Do I need to eat lunch in my dreams?"

Huang Xi was stunned, but still didn't quite understand the meaning of Yun Xian's words. Did she want to eat for free?

Cleveland also had a weird expression on his face.

But she just hugged the basketball tighter and didn't say anything.

Yunxian continued to explain, "For the Commander and Miss Cleveland, every minute and every second in the dream is spent with physical sensations, so they will naturally experience fatigue, hunger, and sleepiness just like in reality."

She paused, looked at the lunch box on the coffee table, and continued, "Generally speaking, these can be resolved one by one just like in reality, but now the commander's image..."

She didn't finish her words, but Huang Xi already understood what the girl meant.

Now his image is unable to eat.

What to do when you are hungry? When you are hungry, you can only be hungry. The delicious food is right in front of you, but you can only look at it with your eyes wide open, and at most you can smell and lick it, but you can’t put it in.

This is undoubtedly torture.

Huang Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he jumped out of Cleveland's arms, saying in a deep voice, "Actually, I've thought about it carefully, and I don't think I can wait until the dream is shattered if I continue to stay here."

"Um……"

Cleveland blinked, then chuckled helplessly, "Commander, your words are really convincing."

"It's not about persuasiveness, it's about, well, that is to say..."

Huang Xi couldn't find anything to say, because no matter what he said, it was just perfunctory, and finally he fell into silence.

After staring at the coffee table in front of him for a long while, he turned around on the sofa and suggested softly, "Why don't we wait until after lunch before leaving? By then, there shouldn't be any problem."

If he just went hungry for one meal, there would be no problem of course. Even going hungry for a few meals would be fine. He was quite good at this kind of thing, but he just didn't want to experience it anymore.

"Well, actually it doesn't matter if you leave now."

Cleveland blinked and smiled, "After all, the commander is just a basketball."

"I……"

Huang Xi wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the girl with a chuckle, "Just think of it as the God of Basketball making my dream come true?"

He was suddenly speechless.

As a basketball, I felt a lump in my throat and an indescribable emotion and feeling in my heart.

He thought of the first day he came into this world, when he turned into Indy. Portland, who misunderstood that he had a cold, specially prepared a cup of very sweet honey water.

The feeling back then was somewhat similar to the feeling now.

But they seemed completely different: that was borrowed tenderness, while now it was sincere passion.

"commander?"

Cleveland walked up and poked the basketball, wiggled his slender fingers on the ball leather, and rolled on the sofa with the basketball.

It rolled one more circle and then stabilized.

"Thank you."

Huang Xi said softly, the facial features drawn with the marker became blurred after repeated rubbing, and became much softer.

"Well, there's no need to thank me for something like this."

Cleveland stepped forward and picked up the basketball. He looked at Yunxian with a smile and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Please wait."

Yunxian nodded, and the dark blue butterflies around her danced as she spoke, then wrapped up Cleveland and the basketball in her hand.

Huang Xi only saw a faint blue light, and then he felt that the world had changed.

"Commander is awake, meow?"

Akashi's voice rang in my ears.

He opened his eyes and saw the familiar green cat ears, swaying slightly in the light.

I often wake up to this scene, and I have become accustomed to it without realizing it.

"He's awake, but Yunxian said the situation is a little strange..."

As he spoke, he felt himself sitting up before he finished speaking.

Or rather, he sat up while watching.

Huang Xi was immediately puzzled.

Chapter 255 Lend me half your brain

The feeling is hard to describe.

Huang Xi felt as if he had become a third party. He silently watched himself sit up from the hibernation chamber and then stand on the ground.

It was as if his body had betrayed him, his every move was out of control and had a will of its own.

I was a little dazed at first.

Then a cold chill spread along the spine all the way to the top of the head.

"Damn it, I seem to be possessed by a ghost!"

He spoke loudly, but suddenly stopped, as if he was looking for something. Then he walked to the table at a faster speed, picked up a pen and wrote something on the white paper.

What? You're actually starting to draw talismans?

Huang Xi was shocked, and then he watched the words on the white paper gradually end and become a line of words, "It's me, Cleveland."

He suddenly calmed down.

New Jersey, Enterprise and others who heard his panicked voice also came over, touching their chins with different expressions, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

"Is this probably what the commander just mentioned, the abnormal meow?"

Akashi waved his little hand and said.

Huang Xi nodded, and then saw an extra line of text on the white paper, "I feel that this should be the case."

Ten minutes later, everyone finally had a rough idea of ​​the current situation.

Just as Yunxian said before, he and Cleveland jointly controlled one body.

The specific distribution is that he has one eye, one ear, and can control his head to nod and turn, and his mouth to eat and talk. All other parts are taken over by Cleveland.

It's roughly equivalent to lending you half of my brain.

Cleveland, on the other hand, is temporarily unable to speak and can only express himself through sign language or pen and paper.

"So that's how it is. I also feel... well, it's hard to say."

Huang Xi sat on the chair, looking at the busy people around him, feeling very confused.

Although I had prepared and anticipated it beforehand, it was still very difficult to actually experience the feeling of high-level paraplegia.

But compared to the worst-case scenario I've ever imagined, it doesn't seem so bad.

At least he can move freely now.

Although he needs to give the order first and then Cleveland will execute it.

But it's much better than two people each using a pair of chopsticks to pick up the peanuts, right?

"It looks more like Honey has taken over Cleveland."

New Jersey, who was sitting not far away, smiled cheerfully and joked, pushing a plate of snacks on the small table towards him.

Huang Xi glanced over and hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but say, "Would you like to eat a little?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his arms and legs began to move. He picked up two nuts at random, peeled them slowly, and put them into his mouth.

Huang Xi felt pretty good.

It was a bit like some old master, lying motionless on the bed, with the maid serving him snacks.

New Jersey couldn't help but laugh happily again, and his smile was very bright.

On the other side, Enterprise and others who had learned about the situation also came over and asked, "That's about it. Commander, what are your plans for today?"

Is it mainly to wear a mecha to meet everyone? Or is it just to pretend to be Cleveland?

Huang Xi fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a moment, he slowly said, "There shouldn't be anything that requires my presence today, right?"

"No."

Enterprise chuckled, already understanding what he meant.

Chkalov came over from behind holding a tablet and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have upgraded the mecha and added an automatic standby mode. Generally, there will be no problem if you sit in the office."

"Well, I'll leave it to you all today. I'll stay with Cleveland."

Huang Xi smiled and said that in his current state, even if he was wearing a mecha, he probably wouldn't be able to act out his true appearance well.

This allows Cleveland to play freely according to its own ideas.

But... since it's also pretending, why not just pretend to be Cleveland today?

Or just be Cleveland.

The current situation is that he has actually replaced Cleveland's right to speak.

As long as he speaks less or even nothing from now on, all that will be left is a complete Cleveland.

Well, perfect.

He nodded and smiled, "That's it, is there any problem with Cleveland?"

A slender little hand stretched out and made an "OK" gesture.

Although I have accepted it a long time ago, it still feels a little weird.

Huang Xi sighed in his heart, and then he saw himself, or Cleveland, took out a pen and paper and wrote, "Commander, is there anywhere you want to go?"

"I don't. Just live your life as usual. Just treat it as a day where you can't speak." Huang Xi shook his head.

Then I saw Cleveland wrote again, "Then I'll go back to the port area first?"

"it is good."

Huang Xi nodded again.

He stretched out his little hand and made an "OK" gesture, then stood up and walked out of the laboratory.

No matter how you think about it, it's still too weird.

Huang Xi thought so as he looked at the ever-changing scenery in front of him.

……

in the bushes.

Javelin stared at the viewfinder without blinking, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Sister Cleveland has left. Is the help over?"

"That's what I should say."

Ayanami nodded in approval, and Z23 had a similar look.

"But where's the commander? He hasn't shown up yet?" Javelin's expression looked very strange, and he muttered to himself.

Ayanami and Z23 didn't say anything, and even Laffi began to think about this problem in confusion.

Since the lab was busy, everyone has been waiting for the commander to show up. But now that everything has quieted down, the commander still hasn't shown up.

Is there something wrong with the steps?

The little guys frowned tightly, not quite understanding what was going on.

"Also, maybe the commander won't come today?"

Javelin thought about it for a long time, then made a tentative guess. Although he had agreed to come today, sometimes unexpected situations would arise.
