I have restarted the simulated world nearly a thousand times, and modified the memory blockade nearly a thousand times. I feel like I am going crazy.

My subconscious already knew for sure that this world was created by Xiao Yin to trap me. The monitors in this world, Gong Caicai and Zhuang Ni, were also virtual existences based on their true personalities, but I still had no breakthrough. way.

Once I have any thoughts of suicide, I will be immediately stopped by force majeure. In order to prevent me from inserting a tactical knife into my chest, the world does not care about creating an avalanche or even a volcanic eruption, or even restarting it directly.

On the contrary, in order to retain me, the characters of the squad leader and others in the virtual world became more and more similar to reality, especially the squad leader, to the point where they were fake and real. I told her my troubles more than once to relieve my loneliness. , and we have dealt with virtual crises with her more than once and enjoyed the fruits of victory.

Goethe once expressed this view in his work "Faust": "Only after a day of hard work can people enjoy the happiness after leisure."

In fact, the Chinese people have long concluded a truth that contains the same wisdom: "Everything you eat tastes good when you are hungry."

In a doomsday survival environment, because of the difficult conditions and various dangers, happiness comes quite easily. While sharing the joy, the squad leader and I also narrowed the inner distance, even though I already knew subconsciously that she was a virtual creature. .

"The ground is shaking, something big happened."

On a night with howling wind and falling snow, the squad leader and I stood alone behind the bunker, next to the cross used to commemorate Shu Zhe.

I followed the sound and saw countless AM spider robots on the hillside in the distance, with their searchlights turned on, and they densely charged towards the bunker.

This scene is very scary, but deep down in my heart I don't feel scared, instead I feel a sense of intimacy.

AM robots are always committed to snatching our survival kits and destroying the bunkers we rely on for survival. They try to end us time and time again. This attack in front of us is obviously the most violent one in history.

Not only that, Yusla's huge shadow that covered the sky and the sun also moved towards the bunker from the opposite direction, making the ground shake with every step.

"Fish... fish..."

I touched my trouser pocket with a dumbfounded smile. I had developed the habit of carrying a box of canned sardines with me. I wondered if I would have a chance to feed Fishella this time.

The crystal snow particles reflecting the moonlight hit the squad leader's sad face, and the eyelashes of her eyes were covered with frost flowers, which made her look particularly beautiful and heartbreaking.

"Ye Lin, you are not panicked at all. Do you still think our world is unreal?"

"Yes." I nodded, "I am recalling more and more things in the real world. I even remembered that the thin man who reminded me in my dream to find my real name was named Fang Xin. , it was he who created Xiao Yin, and Xiao Yin created the entire illusion."

Tens of thousands of spider robots, as well as the towering giant fishra are approaching. The bunker we live in has obviously been destroyed, but there is no movement inside at all. Xiao Yin, Gong Caicai Both Zhuang Ni and Zhuang Ni were silent.

"This is unreasonable, isn't it." The squad leader stood up from in front of Shu Zhe's tomb with a bitter voice, "No matter how scared, the people in the bunker should not have any reaction at all... Why is it so quiet, why no one comes out Help us."

I couldn't answer the monitor's question, but my subconscious told me that the entire illusion was out of control, and my sealed memories were launching a massive counterattack. While Xiao Yin was dealing with the counterattack, she was no longer able to guarantee every aspect of the illusion. The details are all in line with common sense.

Xiao Yin's efforts were not in vain. Under its interference, the AM robots that came like a tide actually bypassed the bunker and started fighting with Yusla on the opposite side. They climbed up Yusla's translucent gray body, Use self-destructive moves to push Fishilla back step by step.

"Fish... fish."

Yuthra continued to scream unclear words, waved his giant fist, and smashed the swarming AM robots to pieces, but the opponents continued to attack it with self-destruction regardless of the cost.

Each explosion slightly shrunk Yuthra's figure. It shrunk from a mountain to a tall building, and from a tall building to a low building. When the last AM robot was flattened by it, it had shrunk to only As big as a grizzly bear.

"Fish... fish." As if Yusla couldn't see me, she looked around blankly among the robot wreckage on the ground, and called out her favorite food in a heart-stopping voice.

I picked up the shell fragments of the AM robot that bounced onto the snow after the explosion. I felt a sense of pity from nowhere, as if "AM" was something familiar to me, or the abbreviation of someone's name.

"How long have we lived together?" The squad leader suddenly said behind me, "My memory has begun to blur. Is it ten days, ten months, or ten years?"

I took out the canned fish and stopped walking towards Fishela.

"Squad leader, thank you for always listening to my nagging, otherwise I may not be able to persevere. We work together as well here as in the real world. We are a very good pair, although I am trapped here. Yes, but in the part related to you, I may feel real happiness..."

The monitor's voice trembled, "But, I'm not real, right? I'm just an illusory existence, virtualized by a supercomputer."

I immediately understood that Xiaoyin had given up, and she admitted her true identity through the mouth of the squad leader. The cause and effect calculation program created by Fang Xin, relying on a unique algorithm and a huge information base, can calculate the people around me. The simulation is so lifelike.

However, the girl in military uniform in front of her still maintained the appearance of the squad leader, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"So, did we really go to school together in No. 28 Middle School?" The monitor's eyes gradually lowered, "Those sleep talks you told me are what really happened, and this world and me are yours. A dream?"

That tone of voice, which was extremely suppressed but still revealed a huge sense of sadness, almost made me unable to move any further. I had no choice but to turn around and look at her face.

As soon as my eyes suddenly came into contact, two lines of tears flowed down the monitor's cheeks. However, she quickly wiped away the tears with her sleeves and asked:

"Xiao Zhe in the real world is really not dead, is he?"

I nodded wordlessly.

"Human civilization has not been destroyed, and our parents are still alive and well, right?"

I nodded again.

The squad leader looked up at the zenith in despair, that dark and gloomy place.

"I'm so envious of that world, and I'm so envious of myself in that world..."

"Let's go." She said softly at the end, the three words mixed with a sigh, which sounded particularly clear in the violent storm.

Before I had time to answer, she had already turned around and without much hesitation, walked away from the bunker and walked into the depths of the wind and snow.

"Where are you going?" I couldn't help shouting at the monitor's back, even though I actually knew her final destination.

"I have never been farther than 5 kilometers away from the bunker." The squad leader answered me in as strong a voice as possible. "Now I want to know how far I can go and whether I can see the end of the world."

At that moment, I felt like my heart was being torn apart, and I even had the idea of ​​staying in this illusory world and living with the virtual squad leader.

"Don't chase me." The squad leader said to me as he was walking away. "It's meaningless. I have already seen the mountains in the distance begin to disintegrate. I'm afraid the world will completely collapse soon. I just want to see what I can do." It’s just as far as you can go...don’t come after me.”

But her steps stopped and she turned her head slightly, not letting me see the expression on her face.

"When you return to the real world, will you help me take care of Xiaozhe?"

Although Shu Zhe has countless shortcomings that need to be corrected, at this moment, it is impossible for me to refuse the monitor's request.

"I will, and I will take good care of you."

"Really..." She responded as if her tears were turning into a smile, and then she stopped talking. The back of the girl carrying the steel gun disappeared into the icy and snowy land that was beginning to collapse.

The only thing connecting her and me is the promise in my heart.

The sky and the earth are wailing, as if they are mourning in advance for the destruction of this world.

I walked up to Yusila and looked at its translucent gray body. Its size was only equivalent to that of an ordinary grizzly bear, and even its outline was somewhat similar.

"Fish... fish..."

Fishella turned a blind eye to me as I walked closer to it. I shook my head, opened the iron lid of the sardine can, and placed the strong-smelling can in front of it.

The strange thing is that Fishilla, who keeps calling "fish", has no intention of feasting. The canned fish seems to be invisible to it like me.

Hey, what's the difference? Fishela is the most serious memory that Xiaoyin has blocked for me. Logically speaking, as long as I feed it fish, it should show its true appearance and let me recall all the things. Ah, doesn’t canned fish taste good? It must be fresh fish to satisfy it.

Hey, squad leader, don't leave. Come back and help me catch a live fish first. I need your wild survival skills. Who would have thought that Yusila actually despises canned fish? Could it be that this Jedi counterattack will fall short? Am I facing another reboot?

Reluctantly, I moved closer and tried to communicate with Fishla, but no matter what I said, it would only reply: "Fish... fish... fish..."

However, after trying my best to block the interference of the wind, I heard some clues.

It seems that what Yuzla is calling is not a fish, but a relatively fast "wild ass... wild ass...".

Fang Xin, your sister, didn’t you say that I can leave the illusion as long as I find my real name? After a long time, my real name is not Ye Lin but Wild Ass.

But no matter what, I still remembered everything.

The little bully who had given me the nickname "Wild Donkey" since I was 6 years old, leaving a shadow on my childhood, and her real name "Ren Xiaoqin" all came back to my mind.

With a huge and silent tremor, the virtual world turned into white light and steamed away in an instant, and I finally opened my eyes.
