The faint golden light sprinkled into the city, waking up the peaceful little town from a beautiful dream. Hao Ren watched the streets around him gradually regaining their vitality. From time to time, breakfast shops and small supermarkets lit up. The shop owners opened their doors and greeted each other lazily. Some people were chatting loudly about a football game last night, and some old men and women who came out for morning exercise were discussing the strong wind two days ago. Everywhere was the most ordinary scene of daily life, as if such a peaceful and comfortable life had lasted for decades.
If Hao Ren did not know the truth of this world, he would have mistakenly thought that he had been teleported to an ordinary terrestrial planet when he first came here. But now, looking at the daily scene in front of him, he only felt a strong sense of incongruity from the bones, mixed with an inexplicable uneasiness: the development of the situation was not quite right. Although this illusory world suddenly used a seemingly beautiful script, it was probably not a good sign.
Nolan once said that the reset cycle of this world was not fixed. The long one could be decades or even hundreds of years, and the short one would be within a few years. But in any case, it would not be like this. The new stage had only been running for less than two days before the 'script' suddenly switched to such an inexplicable peaceful world, and the dozens of previous world wars were erased like a joke.
Hao Ren wondered what was controlling this world. He instinctively ruled out the 'human' factor, because the simulation program and operating characteristics of this world were more like a program.
And the situation in front of him might mean that the program was out of control.
Of course, it was also possible that all this was because he had rashly touched the 'boundary', resulting in a data overflow that forced the program behind the world to temporarily reset the entire sandbox. But this still could not explain the sudden change in the style of the script.
Following the guidance of the navigation signal, Hao Ren came to the center of the town. In front of him was a gentle slope with beautiful poplars planted on both sides, and at the end of the slope was a high-school-like school. Boys and girls were rushing to school everywhere on the slope. They were wearing school uniforms, carrying school bags, and from time to time, some of them stopped to look curiously at Hao Ren, the strange uncle holding a strange device. Hao Ren did not pay attention to these students. He sighed a little at the school life that he had not seen for many years, and then trotted to the end of the slope. A figure with long gray hair finally appeared in his sight.
Nolan was a little bored standing at the school gate, watching the students come and go. She was also wearing the same school uniform, and the end of the sentinel's cane was sticking out of the bag in her hand: it looked like the handle of an umbrella. She seemed to be a little confused about her new identity. Although she did have a student period in one of her previous reincarnations, that was at least a thousand years ago in her memory. After dozens of reincarnations in the war, she was not used to the sudden arrival of peace. It was not until Hao Ren's call that she was relieved of the trouble.
"Nolan!" Hao Ren called out to the gray-haired girl in front of him. The latter turned her head and looked at him in surprise, and then immediately trotted over.
"Hao Ren?" Nolan looked at Hao Ren in surprise. "I thought you were reset to somewhere far away. I didn't expect you to be in this city."
"It's a long story. I did go somewhere far away," Hao Ren said as he looked around. "Do you know what's going on?"
Nolan shrugged. "I don't know. It seems that the world has suddenly been reset. When I woke up, I found myself on my way to school, and then I suddenly remembered my current identity."
While saying that, she pointed to herself with a slightly funny look. "President of the Student Council — can you believe it?"
"My PDA can run and jump. Why wouldn't I believe it?" Hao Ren said casually. He noticed that more and more students were looking at him out of curiosity. He immediately lowered his voice. "Can we find a place to talk? I feel that something's not right. "
Nolan did not hesitate. She put her bag on her shoulder and walked away. "Okay, let's go."
As soon as she took a step, a middle-aged woman who looked like a dean popped out of nowhere and shouted in a high-pitched voice. "Nolan? Where are you going? Class is about to start … "
Nolan waved her hand without looking back. "I'm taking a leave. I won't be coming today!"
After that, she pulled Hao Ren to the other end of the ramp, leaving behind a circle of stunned students and a dean who had not yet reacted. It was not until the two of them ran to an intersection that they heard the teacher shouting from behind. Nolan winked at Hao Ren who was a little stunned. "I'm set to be a good student on this stage. I didn't follow the script at the beginning."
As she said that, she suddenly laughed, and her laughter became louder and louder. She laughed until she was almost out of breath. Hao Ren silently watched her go crazy. When he really couldn't stand it anymore, he raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder. "Hey, you've laughed enough …"
"Sorry, I just think it's really ridiculous." Nolan sighed softly after a few breaths. "I was fighting on the battlefield two days ago, and suddenly I'm thrown into this place … There should be a limit to how messy the script can be."
"It seems that you don't know how the script suddenly became like this?" Hao Ren looked at Nolan suspiciously.
Nolan did not answer directly. Instead, she changed the topic. "Actually, don't you think this is good? It looks like the world is peaceful … I've talked to some people. It seems that there is no sign of war in the whole world. Whether this world is real or not, it's actually not bad if this situation can continue … Even if it can't continue forever, it's good to be like this for a few more days. "
Hao Ren finally confirmed some of his suspicions. "You really do know something, don't you?"
Nolan looked up at the morning sun in the sky and was silent for a long time. Finally, she sighed. "… I'm afraid this is the last sweet dream."
The Surface World.
Hao Ren's "dive" had lasted for a few days. Nangong Wuyue was holding a rag and was wiping Hao Ren's "coffin lid" while humming a tune. At this time, the hibernation pod suddenly opened and the MDT swooshed out. Nangong Wuyue immediately coiled herself up like a coiled spring. Her upper body wobbled as she looked at the thing that came out.
When she saw that it was the MDT, her body softened. "Oh, the MDT. Why is Mr. Landlord still not awake?"
The first thing the MDT did was to quickly circle in the air twice and let out a satisfied sigh. "Oh, this body is really good. I don't even need to turn my neck to look around … Oh, Nangong Wuyue, hurry up and call them over. It's business! Hao Ren may be planning something big. He needs someone to go over and hold the fort! "
At this time, Lily had heard the noise and ran down. "What's going on? Where are we going to kill? How many? "
"Not sure yet." The MDT whizzed around. "By the way, did you know? I suddenly found that I have the heart of a young girl … "
Nangong Wuyue and Lily were dumbfounded.
For every inspector, the MDT was their most important assistant. It was even more important than all their armed supplies and personal spaceships. The MDT not only had all the assistant programs needed to carry out the task, but also, when necessary, could replace the owner to complete many tasks that originally required the inspector to carry out. The inspector could issue a temporary authorization to their MDT, allowing it to control their dimensional pocket and various weapons and equipment. In this case, the MDT could play a role almost equivalent to an inspector's avatar.
Although this kind of avatar could sometimes be troublesome …
Soon, everyone was gathered and entered the Plane of Dreams through the crack of Tannagost. The MDT successfully opened Hao Ren's dimensional pocket through the "transfer" method. The real Petrachelys was parked inside.
"Oh oh oh! Sure enough, this slot suits me best! " The MDT clamored excitedly on its throne. Being able to reconnect to the slot made it feel like its entire PDA had been reborn. "You guys don't know, I couldn't fit it in no matter how hard I tried. I really don't understand what's so good about turning into a human … Or maybe it's because my butt is too big?"
The MDT went crazy on the control panel. The creatures around looked at each other. Y 'zaks glanced at the control panel and whispered to Vivian, "Is this thing … broken?"
Vivian pursed her lips. "Maybe it's a short-circuit. I told you, Mr. Landlord, you can't let Lil Pea play with it all day long. Electronics can't get into water …"
The MDT turned a deaf ear to the comments of the people around it. It was overjoyed to be able to regain control of the spacecraft. Following the navigation signal from the exploration drones, it started the warp program of the Petrachelys. The next moment, the spacecraft had arrived in a strange and distant galaxy.
Previously, it and Hao Ren had successfully sent out a little bit of navigation information at the "border" of the virtual world. That information was enough to guide the exploration drones scattered in the Plane of Dreams to a roughly five-light-year radius. Fortunately, although the area was far away, the warp engine of the drone swarm could quickly reach there. When the Petrachelys arrived, the drones had already found what they suspected to be Zorm's planet.
The real Zorm was not a virtual world, but a real Zorm in the real universe.
The Petrachelys met up with the exploration drone that had done the deed, and then hovered over the target planet. Looking at the spectacular and terrible scene, the MDT let out a long sigh. "Holy … sh * t …"
Vivian immediately turned to look at the silver-white hibernation pod beside her. She nervously pressed the lid of the latter's coffin. "Mr. Landlord's consciousness is on that planet?!"
The MDT shrieked. "Inform him immediately! I'm afraid this godforsaken place will not last more than forty-eight hours! "
