Wake up...
He pinched his face and it hurt. The pain was real, not a dream.
But the fact of waking up did not make Jinyun feel at ease. On the contrary, the weird feeling that permeated the dream still shrouded his heart, making him feel that every pore on his skin was emitting cold air.
He looked out the window. The afterglow of the setting sun was shining through the window and onto the floor below the windowsill. The dust floating in the glow was clearly visible.
I actually slept for nearly a whole day? It felt like less than half an hour in my dream.
call......
After a moment, Jinyun let out a long sigh, raised his right hand with some sadness, and intended to rub his temple.
Suddenly, he noticed something strange in his hand. He looked down and found that he was still holding Jingliu's figurine tightly.
In other words, I fell asleep after picking up Jingliu's figurine?
I don't really have narcolepsy, do I?
Although Sister Xi said that she just played games too much, it’s okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens three or four times repeatedly, that’s something wrong.
Maybe I really should go to the hospital.
Jinyun stood up, put Jingliu's figurine back on the table, then closed his eyes and carefully recalled what he had seen and heard in his dream.
Behind the white wall is Eden?
If you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable.
After all, if the white wall in the dream is the loading page for logging into the game in VR mode, then after the loading is completed, the first game screen the player sees is Eden.
Those dreams were always centered around gaming elements. If it was because he had been playing the game for too long in the past, it would have been fine, but recently, during the more than half a month of game maintenance, he had been busy running around with Yun Xi most of the time.
No matter how much you think about something during the day and dream about it at night, it shouldn't happen so frequently, right?
Jinyun scratched his hair, his brows were tightly furrowed into knots.
For some reason, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Are those dreams really just simple dreams?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Jinyun's thoughts couldn't help but slide in a strange direction, sliding farther and farther, and then completely deviating from normal human thinking.
In the end, he felt that the more he thought about it, the more creepy it became, so he stopped thinking about it.
Jinyun went to the bathroom to wash his face to refresh himself.
Calculating the time, it's almost time to make dinner, but at this moment, Jinyun is no longer in the mood to cook. He plans to make do with the snacks and bread he has in stock for dinner.
Oh, I almost forgot, who sent me a text message just now?
Jinyun picked up his phone belatedly, and the screen showed a pop-up notification from the Support Humanity APP:
[You have been idle for more than six hours]
Six hours of idle time?
Oh no, I didn’t choose to pause when I just left the game!
Then wouldn’t I have wasted six hours of training time in vain?
Come to think of it, if I disappeared for six hours without even saying hello, Kiana must be really worried, right?
Putting down his phone, Jinyun didn't even bother to open the half-opened bag of bread, and quickly put on his helmet to enter the game.
Returning to the inn on the fairy boat Luofu, Jinyun quickly found Kiana in the previous guest room.
But he could never have imagined that this girl was still sleeping.
The stool beside the bed and the dining table were piled with various cakes and food scraps, and even on the bed there were several unopened packs of Kit Kat snacks.
Well, it seems that Kiana woke up halfway, got up and ate a lot of food, and then probably because she couldn't find herself, she dived back into the quilt.
She eats when she wakes up and sleeps when she is full. This girl is really simple.
This is probably the character that I have the least trouble with.
Bronya likes to cling to me. Her mood will keep dropping as long as I'm not around. She even has to hug me like an octopus when she sleeps.
And Jingliu is even more of a heavyweight. He clamors to duel with her, and she will be unhappy if I don't kiss her.
If she is kissed but not kissed enough, she will be unhappy. She will also be unhappy if she does not have the upper hand. The main thing is her competitive spirit.
Looking at Kiana again, the other characters all pretend to raise their daughters but actually raise them as wives, but Kiana is the only one who really raises her as a daughter, and Jinyun has absolutely no thoughts about her at all.
To give an inappropriate example, she is the kind of person who would not be brought to a silver party, and even if she is brought, it is just to fill the table to satisfy the stomach.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is because Kiana has not grown up yet.
Since I don't need to worry about Kiana, let's just leave it at that for today. I'll eat something first and then enter the game in the evening depending on the situation.
I also have to find a way to decipher the letter that Yanqing gave me.
What does that lotus made of paper mean?
While thinking about this problem, Jinyun called up the UI interface and selected to log out of the game, intending to leave.
However, at the moment when he was about to confirm it, the scene he had just dreamed suddenly flashed in his mind.
Behind the digital white wall is Eden.
The black shadow in the dream that looked like a mirror was squeezed out from the white wall.
That is to say, she came from Eden...
But that was just my dream. Is there any necessary connection with the game?
Although Black Shadow has appeared in the game...
After thinking about it, Jinyun decided to follow his intuition and make a trip to Eden. It wouldn't take much effort anyway.
He opened the game world window and switched to Eden. As the scene in front of him dissipated and reorganized like flying petals, the familiar Garden of Eden formed again in front of Jinyun.
This place is empty when there are no characters around. Although the scenery is beautiful and the colors are bright, if you stay there for a long time alone, you will feel more depressed and lonely than usual.
Jinyun searched around Eden for several times but didn't find anyone except himself. It seemed that he had come to nothing.
He sighed and was about to quit the game.
But at this moment, a bit of snow as fine as white flowers fell right on the tip of his nose.
The snowflakes melted, and the cool touch lifted Jinyun's spirits.
Snow? It's snowing?
No, how could it snow in this place? Even if it did, it would only snow if the weather was adjusted by itself.
I haven't encountered any weather system at all, how could it snow?
Is it possible...
When Jinyun thought of this possibility, his heart trembled!
He quickly turned around to look, but after seeing the scene behind him clearly, his originally excited mood was once again poured with a bucket of cold water.
Not far away, a dark shadow holding a sharp blade slowly walked towards him.
The good news is Mirror Flow.
Bad news, it just looks like an error code from Mirror Stream.
Why is this thing again?
The black shadow stopped in front of Jinyun and slowly raised the black sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Jinyun's head.
Jinyun couldn't help but murmur when he saw this scene.
Even if you look like her, don't take my patience as infinite!
It appears in my dreams and in games, and it always chases me around...
Anyway, did the programmers not fix this bug? Did they not want to fix it or did they not find it?
Just like in the dream, with the black shadow as the center, gorgeous snow-colored frost suddenly spread out from under her feet, and in the blink of an eye, the flowers and plants within a hundred meters radius were frozen into a thick ice surface.
Snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, and the deep, biting cold gradually spread throughout my body.
Jinyun's mind moved and the coldness was dispelled.
This is a game, not a dream, and he doesn't have to fear any enemies.
He turned on the in-game recording function, intending to record the battle and then send it to Star Network so that they could find the error code and fix it.
This is also the reason why he did not quit the game.
The black sword in the black shadow's hand was already covered with frost. The snowflakes dancing in the sky seemed to be afraid at this moment, lingering irregularly around the black shadow.
The sword intent was so strong that even Jinyun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
There was no killing intent, only sword intent, so sharp that it was about to solidify into substance.
Do you want to have a discussion?
Jinyun opened the shortcut menu and randomly selected a sword to equip.
At the same time, the sword intent around the black shadow was burning like fire and boiling like water. The sharp sword energy cut the flat ice surface under his feet into countless tiny sword marks visible to the naked eye.
The wind was whistling, the world was silent, and the snow was flying like feathers.
She suddenly rose into the air, and the moonlight emitted by the sword blade created a bright moon behind her that was as shimmering as the tidal line.
The moonlight was like a rainbow, surging in all directions and illuminating the heaven and earth.
This sword move is the last move that Jinyun taught Jingliu.
Jinyun didn't know what this black shadow was, but when the other party showed this move, he was still moved.
Such a well-honed sword...
Eighteen hundred years have passed since then, and you have finally honed your swordsmanship to its limit.
This sword can be regarded as the achievement you gave me, Jingliu.
Jinyun raised the sword and swung it in the simplest manner without any exaggerated movements.
In an instant, the earth and the sky shook violently, the sea of clouds rolled, the ice underfoot broke into pieces, and the red flowers, green willows and trees flew into the sky. In the moment of being frozen, they turned into icy dust and slowly dissipated.
Silence returned to the world, and the chill that had penetrated deep into the bone marrow dissipated after one sword strike.
Jinyun glanced at the black shadow that fell behind him. The black sword in the opponent's hand had been broken into pieces, and only the hilt revealed a little blue light.
It was the only bright spot in the deep darkness.
Although he knew that the other party might not understand what he said, Jinyun still said to him:
"I don't know how you came into being, and you probably can't understand the intentions of humans. You want to duel, so this sword will be my answer to you."
"From now on, we owe each other nothing."
After saying that, Jinyun turned around, called up the UI interface again, and prepared to log out of the game.
But, the next second.
A clear and melodious voice echoed in this lonely world——
"Don't owe each other?"
"You owe me a lot."
“You’ll never be able to pay it back in your lifetime.”
The moment this sentence rang out, Jinyun felt as if his body had been struck by thunder. From his toes to the top of his head, every cell in his body began to tremble violently.
He turned around tremblingly, and as he gazed in disbelief, the black shadow in front of him gradually dissipated, like the dust on the surface of exquisite blue and white porcelain, slowly revealing the white and flawless face beneath the darkness.
She is still beautiful, like the unchanging bright moon, reflected in the clear mirror-like lake. The blue waves are floating with swaying fragrant white lotuses, and the ripples caused by the passing breeze are the interpretation of all her gentleness.
At this moment, time stopped and the world was silent.
Jingliu quietly looked at Jinyun in front of him, with compassion and concern in his eyes.
Through the endless time, she seemed to see the boy who had made a pinky promise with her many years ago.
"It's been a long time... Teacher."
