Brother Xiaoxia left the bar.

He hadn't seen the advertisement about the London Underground Station more than a century ago, and he didn't know why the designer of this game embedded that advertisement in this city and made it into an easter egg.

Maybe the designer thinks this is a very memorable story.

It may also be because of some other reason.

None of this matters.

And the newspaper at the bar table said that the platform is about to be renovated.

Then it is easy to think that one day next, the old woman will not hear the familiar reminder again when she comes here.

Will she be sad? Will she be desperate?

But so what, she is just an old woman, controlled by the Ark system, and walks from home to this platform every day...that's all.

Even if she is sad, so what? Even if she loses the most important spiritual sustenance, so what?

So if you think so, then this copy is just a data world for players to explore. If a person sees this old woman, he may be moved. If he is a person like Xiaoxiao Ge, after learning this story, he may become chivalrous and then go to the office of the subway station to argue with others, asking not to change the platform. After all, this is the spiritual sustenance of an old woman.

But... no matter how the player affects it, it is the player's own choice, and no matter how kind and touching this choice is, it is.

In fact...it's all for your own [satisfaction].

After ending this copy, people will savor what they do and then fantasize about the old woman's gratitude to a stranger.

Is all this really chivalrous, or is it just a selfish way to fill the emptiness in your heart?

Time has come to night, there is some haze in the sky, and the hazy moonlight looks not very bright through the clouds.

Brother Xiaoxia crossed the road, then walked onto the light rail platform, and in the wind at night, he sat on the bench where he sat during the day.

He did not find any npc after awakening, so he did not feel what the life of npc is like in the ark world.

That guy named Lu Yuan hopes that he will discover and understand something, but it has been so long and still hasn't.

Brother Xiaoxia still felt that this world was fake.

But if I now find out that the old woman will improve her experience after being killed? Then will I still kill the other party without hesitation?

Brother Xiaoxia didn't know, he didn't want to think about these problems.

"It's been two days since the time outside..." He murmured at the sky.

There was no sleepiness, no hunger, only the coolness of the night wind, Xiaoxia Ge stayed quietly until the night was so rich that he couldn't see the track of the light rail in front of him. Then in the deepest part of the ink-black, suddenly, the world began to gradually become brighter, the night was diluted, and a white line rose in the sky.

At this time, Xiaoxia Ge realized that he had been sitting all night.

As the sunlight took over the city again, the light rail station was opened as scheduled. People hurriedly walked past Xiao Xia Ge and would not cast any unnecessary gaze at him.

Finally, the woman came, with gray hair, but still dressed up carefully.

“This is an npc.”

Brother Xiaoxia thought.

But his vision could not control himself with the other party... Sometimes, he even felt that he was a perverted voyeur.

Finally, the train entered the station.

The expectation in the old man's eyes finally gradually became brighter.

The familiar reminder sounded.

The old man smiled, lowered his head, looking very satisfied, as if at this moment, she was once again trapped in a beautiful memory.

For an elderly person like this, what is more important than memories.

Brother Xiaoxia stood up... and walked to the old man.

"Hello."

He greeted him politely.

"Hello, young man." The woman responded, smiling lightly and easy-going.

"May I ask you..." Xiaoxia Ge spoke, and he originally wanted to ask in his heart——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Or, Brother Xiaoxia can also ask: "What would you do if one day the prompt sound of this station is changed?" In this way, he will likely see some very different expressions and answers from the woman's face.

But in the end, Xiaoxia Ge did not ask such a question. Instead, he said something so strange that he was extremely stupid.

"Do you...know that you are NPC?"

The woman was stunned for a moment and looked at the man in front of her with a blank look.

"What did you say?"

she asked.

Maybe it was because of the Ark's shield, or the old woman didn't know what NPC was, in short, there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.

And this confusion also told Xiaoxia Ge an answer.

She doesn't know...

"Thank you!" Xiaoxia Ge bowed, and then walked out of the light rail station against the crowd in the other party's puzzled eyes.

On the road, there was a crowd of people. Brother Xiaoxia stood there for a while, opened the menu, and exited the game.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but when he saw the old woman's eyes, he knew that he seemed to have found the answer.

......

Are these npcs considered true?

......

The answer is naturally not true, they are just a piece of data, and this is the fact.

However, what about the characters in the book?

Are those knights and those people in the book real?

Of course not, it's just a bunch of words.

However, those words outline a world and all kinds of characters in this world. If you think about it this way, it would be better to say that those knights are never actually in the book, but in the thoughts of those scholars.

That's why I am so obsessed with those books, because that world is already in my mind.

And since it is what you think in your mind, then you think it is true, then it is true.

This is a very strange, even somewhat incomprehensible statement.

But at this moment, Xiaoxia Ge seemed to have realized something.

He couldn't say it, but he understood.

......

The trance gradually retreated, and he came to the team space. He found that the others had not come back, so he sat at the conference table, feeling faintly.

I don’t know how long it took, several white lights flashed by, and three people, Lu Yuan, A Li, and [Doctor Benevolent Heart], appeared.

"Oh? You're back first." Lu Yuan saw Brother Xiaoxia and asked casually.

"Yes." Brother Xiaoxia nodded.

"How about it, have you any new ideas about the NPCs in the Ark?"

Brother Xiaoxia shook his head: "No, I still think they are just data."

"Okay." Lu Yuan replied, he knew that it was not that easy to change a person's mind.

And at this time...

"But I'm willing to help you..."
