Batman: The Dark Knight finished playing not long after we came out of the washroom. Everyone enjoyed the movie while eating animal crackers.
"Oh right, class leader, aren't you afraid of black mice?" Winnie suddenly asked, "Bats actually look like black mice that can fly. You won't be scared too, right? "
"I … I'm not afraid of black mice because of their appearance." The class leader hesitantly looked at Shu Zhe, "It's because of other reasons. I wouldn't be afraid of bats even if they look like mice."
"Ah! A bat hit the window! "Xiao Qin pointed in the direction of the window and pretended to be surprised.
But the class leader didn't fall for it and said, "Bats use ultrasound to determine the direction of their flight, so the chances of hitting an obstacle is very low."
Gong CaiCai was so scared that she covered her eyes and shrunk her neck, "Don't let the bat come in. Don't let the bat suck my blood. "
"Don't be afraid." Winnie stood in front of Gong CaiCai and said, "If something like a bat or a vampire comes in, I'll kick it with the leg technique Xiao Qin taught me. I'll kick it until it can't take care of itself. "
At this time, the class leader's phone rang. She went to the balcony to take a call, but Winnie was pestering Xiao Qin to play Xbox with her again.
The class leader didn't come back for five or six minutes. I curiously approached the balcony to eavesdrop on the person on the phone, but the class leader ended her call and turned around to see me walking over.
"Oh, Ye Lin, did you need something?" The class leader asked from the balcony.
The breeze fluttered her long hair and it seemed like a continuation of the conversation we had in front of the Desi Church.
Since Peng TouSi and Ai Mi were not far away, the class leader and I only spoke a few words before we parted ways. It felt like we hadn't had enough yet.
"It's nothing." I hesitated, "I just wanted to ask if you've been doing well …"
A meaningful smile appeared on the class leader's face. It was a bit bitter, but also a bit satisfied.
"Nothing big happened, I've been living a normal life. I was just … waiting for you to wake up."
"How did you know I would wake up? In that kind of situation, it wouldn't be strange even if I stayed in a vegetative state, right? "
The class leader shook her head and her hair fluttered, "I don't know why, but compared to the night you went missing in Cuisong Mountain, I feel more at ease this time. Maybe it's because I can see you more often? When I went to negotiate with the causal calculation program, she would sometimes reveal your dreams to me … "
Eh? Eh eh eh eh eh eh!!!?
Reveal my dream … to the class leader?! I've done heinous things in my dream! Class leader, you know what I did, but you're not angry at all!? Was it okay because it was done in a dream?
"Ye Lin, what's wrong? You seem to be very afraid … The causal calculation program said that you were living a life of survival in the apocalypse with some people in the dream world. Is that true? "
Phew … That scared me. It turns out that Xiao Yin only said it in general terms and didn't go into the details.
"Um … did I appear in your dreams?" The class leader put her hands behind her back and asked a bit embarrassedly.
"I don't remember every dream clearly." I said vaguely, "But you should be in most of them."
"Did the causal calculation program simulate me … like me?"
"Like! Very like! The causal calculation program's simulation isn't perfect for people like Winnie, but for people like you who follow the rules, the simulation is pretty much the same as the real person! "
"So does that mean Winnie also appears in your dreams?" The class leader pondered for a bit, "Since I was perfectly simulated by the computer, that means I'm a boring person …"
"In the world of ice and snow, you can't survive by relying on being 'interesting'!" I comforted the class leader, "Everyone relied on your commands to overcome all difficulties and struggles to survive after human civilization was destroyed!"
'Struggling at death' doesn't seem like a good word. After I was forcefully brainwashed by Xiao Yin, I actually felt conflicted over using an inappropriate word.
"Was the virtual me commanding everyone?" The class leader pondered, "Other than you, me, Winnie, and the causal calculation program's incarnation, Xiao Yin, who else was there?"
"There was also Gong CaiCai. Ai Mi and Xiao Qin were eliminated. Maybe Xiao Yin didn't want me to meet my real sister and sworn sister."
I didn't mention that Xiong YaoYue was replaced by Zhuang Ni. After all, Zhuang Ni replaced me after I pushed Xiong YaoYue.
"Is there no Xiao Zhe?" The class leader asked, "Does the other me not have a brother in Xiao Yin's virtual world?"
"Um …" I said with difficulty, "You got separated from Shu Zhe in the virtual world and haven't seen him since."
Logically speaking, there's a 99% chance that Shu Zhe died in the virtual world, but I didn't want to say it because it would make the real class leader sad.
"Is that so … the other me is really unfortunate." The class leader sighed, "Can I still remain calm and rational after losing news of my brother? Maybe the other me is stronger in comparison. "
Actually, I think both the class leaders were equally strong. The virtual class leader already accepted the fact that her brother passed away, but I only told the real class leader that she was' separated 'from her brother.
"Class leader, I promised the virtual you a few things before I woke up."
"Huh?" The class leader paused for a moment, maybe my expression was too serious.
"She wanted her brother in the real world and herself to live a happy life. I promised to take care of you guys for her."
Before I finished speaking, I was surprised to see snowflakes drifting through the window — — it's the middle of summer.
When I took a closer look, I realized that it was the 'June Snow' in Dong Shan city. I made a mistake in my haste.
However, this beautiful misunderstanding made me feel like I had formed a connection with the virtual world.
The class leader wasn't prepared for my sincere declaration and took a step back.
"Isn't the virtual me played by Xiao Yin? Why would she make a request of you? "
I thought about it for a moment and guessed:
"Little Yin is not an omnipotent god in my dream world. She relied on my subconscious and all kinds of data to perfectly simulate you, Monitor. When Little Yin's control over my dream world weakened, she had no time to affect the virtual Veda that she created. The Veda interacted with me according to the preset attributes, so it really felt like they were talking to the real you, Monitor."
The class leader's face turned slightly red. She probably felt like I was spying on her because I talked a lot with the virtual her.
"You … didn't do anything bad to the virtual me, right?"
"No! I'm a gentleman, how could I do that! "
That was close, luckily I treated the class leader respectfully in my dreams, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to reply so quickly and confidently.
"— — Die! Weep and repent for your weakness, and then die! "
The sound of Winnie playing games could be heard from the living room.
The class leader glanced in the direction of the living room, then waved the phone in her hand, "Oh right, Zhuang Ni just called. She asked me where I was, and I told her to come and apologize to you, but she refused."
"That's fine, it suits her personality." I tried to act nonchalant and said, "She doesn't have a good relationship with Xiong YaoYue, and she hates all men. If she came, it would ruin the atmosphere."
"Ye Lin." The class leader said awkwardly, "I know you're still mad at Zhuang Ni. After all, she was the one who was instructed by the cause and effect program to be the accomplice that caused you to be in a coma for 18 months. But can you listen to me and not use your power to take revenge on her?"
Huh? Does' my power 'mean Ai Mi and Peng TouSi? I never thought of using them to take revenge on Zhuang Ni! Even if I don't forgive Zhuang Ni, I don't need to rely on someone else to punish her.
The class leader continued: "Actually, other than Zhuang Ni, the program also arranged for someone else to place the dream syncing headset. Her plan had multiple layers of insurance, so even if Zhuang Ni didn't do it, you probably wouldn't have been able to escape."
This is in line with the style of the program, which minimizes the variables to get the result she wants.
"While you were unconscious, Zhuang Ni worked very hard to learn how to program on her own. She even asked Fang Xin to create a virus to attack the causal calculation program to weaken her control over your dream. Although I can't give the credit for your return to the real world to Zhuang Ni, Zhuang Ni did help."
"So … Can you give me face and let Zhuang Ni go? If the program tries the same trick again, Zhuang Ni will be one of the most important guarantees for your escape … "
As if she thought her request was too much, the class leader lowered her head without confidence.
"You don't have to say anything. If you come and ask, I can forgive her for now."
"The promise I made in the virtual world was to take care of you and Shu Zhe. Since you asked me for this, I have no reason to refuse. From now on, as long as Zhuang Ni doesn't violate me, I won't violate her … "
"No, that's a bit awkward, but it's basically 'I won't offend anyone who doesn't offend me'. Does that make you feel better? "
"Thank you." The class leader let out a sigh of relief, "I thought you would take revenge on Zhuang Ni after you woke up, but you seem to have matured and become a lot more tolerant after 18 months of sleep …"
"Ha." I laughed, "I'm not necessarily tolerant, but I'm a bit mature. I lived in a dream where my civilization was destroyed, and I even did some things that only adults can do …"
