"Waiting for me for a long time... What do you mean?"

Sitting up with his hands on the bed board, Hao Yun looked directly at the man who couldn't see his facial features clearly, and continued to ask, "and, where is this?"

Looking at Hao Yun quietly, the man said.

"Although I know you must have a lot of questions to ask now, I'm sorry I only have one mouth."

After a pause, he continued.

"In fact, I didn't wait too long, but the process of waiting made people worried... As for where it is, don't you even remember what happened a minute ago?"

A minute ago?

Hao Yun gently frowned and fell into memory.

He only remembers that after he put on his helmet and started the oasis system, his consciousness was brought here. It seems that he came with the artificial intelligence "zero" running in the Supercomputing Center.

Do you mean

Recalling the technical principle of immersive virtual reality system, Hao Yun's pupil widened slightly and looked strangely at the man standing in front of him who could not see his facial features clearly.

"... this is my dream?"

"The answer is obvious," the man said in a soft voice. "You can completely trust your intuition."

"Who are you?" Hao Yun stared at him and continued, "why do you appear in my dream?"

"Because only through the dream, I can communicate with you face to face like this. As for who I am..." the man continued with a faint smile, "just call me professor as before."

"Professor?"

Sounds familiar.

Hao Yun felt a dull stabbing pain in his eyebrows.

He always has a feeling that he has forgotten something very important.

"Yes," the man continued with a slight nod, "you were one of my most proud students, though I don't think I've taught you anything. You've learned a lot."

Hao Yun was staring at him.

"... what do you know about my journey?"

"Everything."

Looking at the face dew surprised Hao Yun, the man light smile, continue to say.

"In fact, you should have found that the memory you unlock from the system is not created out of thin air. Whether it's music, games or movies... It's in your mind. "

"Of course I know, but what about virtual reality?" Hao Yun continued to ask, "before rebirth, I was just a game designer. I don't remember what immersive virtual reality technology I was exposed to."

Don't say it's contact.

In his mind, he lived in a time when he didn't even have immersive virtual reality technology.

However, for Hao Yun's words, the man just laughed and said in a happy tone.

"Have you ever considered another possibility that you are not a game designer at all, just you think you are?"

Hao Yun was silent.

In fact, he had felt that way before.

If I was really just a game designer before I was born again, there is no reason to have no impression of the game I designed.

It's not so much a career in one's previous life as the identity of a game designer. Just as the man who claimed to be a professor said, he just thought he was.

"... that is to say, I didn't die on my desk because of 996?" His face was full of strange expressions. Hao Yun asked.

"Hahaha, actually I'm surprised that you can arrange me like this... Do you think I'm the kind of professor who can squeeze students? I don't remember doing that. "

The man's laughter eased the stiff air in the room.

However, there are still many puzzles in Hao Yun's mind that have not been answered.

Especially the one he cared about the most.

"I'm... Really through, or in the game."

As if seeing through what Hao Yun was worried about, the man said with a light smile.

"From the point of view of physics, the former is obvious. The world you live in is a possibility among many parallel worlds, and this kind of crossing is irreversible. Otherwise, I won't use such a troublesome way to communicate with you... If it's in the game, why don't you just unplug the power and wake you up? "

I don't know why, after hearing this, Hao Yun felt a little relieved.

He cherishes the present more than the past that he can't recall. If someone suddenly told him that this extraordinary life is just data in the computer, he would not accept it.

Looking at Hao Yun who stopped asking questions, the man said.

"You asked me so many questions, let me ask you one."

Hao Yun asked.

"What do you want to know?"

The man continued.

"What's real, what's unreal... I want to hear how you understand this question."

"What's the point of this question?"

The man said with a smile.

"Not all questions have specific meanings. If you have to have a reason to answer this question, you should take it as the last thinking question in the exam."

What's the reason

However, after serious thinking for a while, Hao Yun gave his own answer.

"What you see is true, and what you don't see is illusory."

Although he can't see the expression on Professor's face, Hao Yun can feel the unexpected emotion he exudes. It seems that he didn't expect to give such an answer.

"Is this the answer from an idealistic point of view?"

"No, just from the perspective of quantum mechanics."

"Oh?"

"Whether the cat in the box is alive or dead can only be known when the box is opened. Our understanding of the universe comes from the information we observe from the universe

Hearing this, the man thought for a moment.

"Interesting answer... To be honest, it even surprised me."

Hao Yun looked at him and said.

"Is that the answer you want?"

"In fact, it doesn't matter whether you want it or not. Originally, there was no standard answer. What I was curious about was just your thinking about this question... Now, my curiosity has been satisfied," the man continued in a gentle tone. "First of all, congratulations. You have completed the immersive virtual reality technology once again and found the key to open the dream."

"At this moment, in the time you live, the boundary between illusion and reality is infinitely close to zero. If you compare life to a game, you are infinitely close to the clearance of this game. "

"But before we celebrate, I hope you can do me one last favor."

Hao Yun looked at him and asked.

"What's up?"

In response to the inquiry, the man who claimed to be a professor continued.

"Help me design a game."

"This is the last subject I leave you."

(it's almost over. I have to think about the last few pictures carefully and try to fill all the holes. There's only one more today.)
