When he woke up, he saw darkness. When a pair of hands moved the phone away from his eyes, he saw the strange gray space again.
The mysterious girl squatted next to him with a smile. "Did you have a good trip?"
Every time he woke up from a deep dream, it would take him a few minutes to distinguish reality from illusion. This time, however, it only took a few seconds before he struggled to sit up and looked around. "Where are the elfins?"
Apart from the strange superimposed space, there was nothing around him.
She held his phone and shook it in front of his eyes. She said confidently, "Don't worry. They should all be in the phone at this time."
He took the phone but did not dare to unlock the screen.
"It doesn't matter. Teacher Xiaodie should have forged a two-way feedback signal. The emulator's server thinks that the app on the phone has been deleted by itself, and the navigation elf in this phone thinks that the game is still operating normally. It's like … Well, for example, in this era, in order to play a particularly old online game that has stopped operating, some people set up a private server for the game and then open it to others who want to play. For the game client they use, they don't know that they are connected to a private server and not the official server … It's almost the same thing," she explained.
This explanation was easy to understand, and Zhang Zian understood it at once.
Zhuang Xiaodie must have simulated a server and disconnected the phone from the real server. Instead, it connected to the fake server and continued to run.
The navigation elf in this phone had probably fallen into an eternal dream, and the signals it received were all fake.
"However, this phone can no longer capture new elfins," she reminded him. "After all, the new elfins have to extract data from the real server. Other operations are not affected."
"It doesn't matter. This is enough."
Zhang Zian shook his head. People should not be too greedy. He had no other hopes to find all the existing elfins.
Her lips moved, but in the end, she pursed her lips and smiled.
"So, let's go home now. There are other things to do after taking a break," she said.
Zhang Zian didn't know what she meant by other things. Was she asking for compensation? Logically speaking, she had almost single-handedly turned the situation around, so it wouldn't be too much for her to ask for more rewards. But … what rewards in the secular world could enter her eyes?
The other one must be Zhuang Xiaodie. It is estimated that she is not willing to work for free. Maybe in the future, she will make some strange requests as a reward.
She held the white, fat, and soft worm in one hand and held his arm with the other. She walked in the direction that the worm pointed.
Zhang Zian followed behind her, and when she wasn't looking, he quietly searched his pants … There was nothing there.
No, the things that should be there were still there, but the string of jewels was gone, of course.
She took a step forward and reached the first floor of the pet building again. The translucent whirlpool that they came from was still there, still spinning.
"Let's go."
She was the first to step into the whirlpool. He had experienced it two or three times and was no longer afraid, so he followed.
When he returned to the real world, he saw the front paw of Galaxy falling to the ground, and its mouth was not completely closed, as if it had just said, "Good luck."
He glanced at his watch. The time was exactly the same as when he left the real world and stepped into the whirlpool.
In other words, in the eyes of the people in the real world, he may not have left the real world at all.
He looked back, and the translucent whirlpool had disappeared.
Fortunately, the mysterious girl did not disappear and was still standing next to him. Otherwise, he really would have suspected that he was dreaming.
"Meow! Was the trip smooth?" Galaxy asked, tilting its head.
The girl gave a thumbs up. "Great, but he almost peed his pants."
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't pee my pants!" Zhang Zian quickly clarified.
He didn't care about anything else. He unlocked the phone screen and saw that the game icon was still on the main interface. He breathed a sigh of relief. When he entered the game and saw that the elfins were all in the virtual pet bar, he was completely relieved.
He returned to the second floor and released the elfins one by one, including Sihwa, into the bathtub.
The elfins looked at the familiar second floor, and all felt as if they had been in a different world.
"Zian, has the crisis been resolved?" Old Time Tea didn't care about anything else and first asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"It should be fine. This is all thanks to Zhuang Xiaodie, and this …"
Zhang Zian gestured to the elfins about the mysterious girl. He didn't know her name, so he couldn't introduce her.
"Hi! Hello everyone! This is the first time we've met! Haha! "The girl waved and laughed." Ah! No, I seem to have seen Grandpa Tea once before. That time, I was forced to not greet Grandpa Tea. Grandpa Tea definitely won't blame me! "
Old Time Tea was surprised. It recognized that this girl was the girl it saw at the Teahouse in Hidden Fog, but why did she address her so intimately? It was as if they were family.
"Uh … May I ask what your name is, and where do you live?" Old Time Tea asked curiously. "How do you know me?"
"Well … It's not the time to say it yet." She put her hands together and put on a posture of begging for mercy. She winked at Old Time Tea, asking it to stop asking questions for the time being.
Old Time Tea was also very confused, but it was old and certainly couldn't embarrass a child. Moreover, this child had made a great effort to resolve the crisis.
"What the hell is going on? Tell me! "Fina couldn't wait to ask Zhang Zian.
The other elfins listened attentively. Only the internet-addict girl, Shihua, was anxious to let him charge her mobile phone first …
"It's a long story."
Zhang Zian went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water. While waiting for the water to boil, he told everyone everything that had happened since this morning.
This experience was more bizarre than any of the previous ones. The elfins listened with their mouths wide open, and their eyes alternated between his and her face.
Time travel!
Entering the dream of a machine!
If they hadn't experienced part of it themselves, they would certainly not have believed such an incredible story.
After he finished, the water was also boiling. His mouth was dry, and he made a pot of tea to moisten his throat. He didn't even eat this morning, but because of the emotional ups and downs, he didn't feel hungry at all.
The other elfins were silently recalling the story just now. Only Fina jumped in front of the mysterious girl and said sharply, "You mean, you can travel through time and space?"
The girl seemed to be waiting for it to ask this question. She nodded calmly and said, "Fina, I promised you that I would bring you to see her alive."
