Dinner, a table full of delicacies.
Only the child Xiaolan was devouring it.
Sister Luolan smoked cigarettes silently, one cigarette after another, making the cafe filled with smoke.
Sister Xiaoling didn't even come to the table. She sat on the sofa by the window with the short-haired girl named Anna. Every once in a while, the [Red Lotus] flame ignited in her palms.
Mengling and Wang Chenyu were whispering, but it was difficult to hear what they were saying.
Aunt Xiaoyu seemed to still be angry with me, holding Honey in her arms and stroking its hair, murmuring like a madman.
At that time, she did follow Sister Xiaoling's advice and left my room.
But before dinner, she still asked me what exactly I said to Sister Xiaoling in the room.
How should I tell her all this?
If I told her, she would probably be even crazier than she is now.
Since I have personally returned to that world, I can quickly understand everything Sister Xiaoling said.
She said everything I saw was true.
She did sacrifice her body in order to make the operation of the life cabin more stable.
Her [ego] continues to accumulate dopamine, and at the moment when the Rainbow Queen is restored, dopamine energy is synchronized to the head connected to the wires.
But as she experienced more and more "ego", she began to sympathize with the people in the "ego" world.
She believes that the [small self] should not be reduced to a tool for the [higher self] to learn or earn spiritual coins.
Every [ego] should live his own life.
I don’t know what to think of my own [higher self].
But if someone tells me that I am just a virtual tool, I will be very reluctant.
Fortunately, Sister Luo Lan is not that first generation, at least she is not yet. She does not have the memory of the real world like Sister Xiaoling. She only discovered and heard some things from a third-person perspective on the tenth floor of the tower. the truth.
I asked Sister Xiaoling where we should go from here.
She remained silent.
I couldn't tell if she didn't know the answer or didn't want to tell me the answer.
But no matter what, I am part of the squad.
I told her that now I can return to the real world at any time.
If there's anything you need my help with, I'll be happy to help.
She looked at me in surprise and asked me why I continued to work hard in this virtual world after knowing the truth.
She asked me, is it because of the world?
I liked the answer, but I also knew - of course not.
Even if all the space stations in the real world exploded instantly, I wouldn't have any mood swings.
For me, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the real world or this false world.
It doesn't seem to matter anymore.
But it's strange that when I look at her colorful twin tails, I impulsively want to devote myself to her wholeheartedly.
I don't care about the world.
But I care about this, a woman who is willing to sacrifice herself for the world.
I care about that head.
"I think we should talk about it!"
Unexpectedly, in this multi-party cold war deadlock, the first one that cannot be tolerated is artificial intelligence.
Li Mengli stopped writing and slowly closed her diary.
Xiaozhi flew right above the dining table and projected a holographic image in the air. It was the former team, drinking and enjoying each other in the cafe.
Everyone looked at the holographic projection and remembered what day it was.
Wang Chenyu was kicked out, and Xiaolan was forced to stand by the stairs.
Now it seems that everything is reversed. It seems that the only ones who can smile on their faces are Xiaolan and Wang Chenyu.
"Carrying out memory killing?" Roland put out the cigarette butt, "I am a sister, and I don't want to fight with you, but since Xiaozhi asked us to have a good talk.
Then let's have a meeting. Wang Chenyu clears the table. "
"This is what I can't stand. Why are you always arrogant to my boyfriend? Can't you even say please?"
"Forget it Meng Ling, Sister Luo Lan may just be used to talking like this." Wang Chenyu snapped his fingers and cleared the table, "Let's have a meeting first. The interests of the team are above all else, right? We have different opinions on things. You can vote by a show of hands.”
Xiaolan's chopsticks were hanging in the air and suddenly disappeared along with the food. She blinked and realized that something was not right about the atmosphere.
Fortunately, there is still a piece of roast beef in my mouth.
Looking at Luo Mama's cold face, she definitely couldn't finish the meal.
"Then you and I will go back to the room first."
Just as Xiaolan was about to get off the table, she was grabbed by Li Xiaoyu, "Xiaolan, just listen here.
When a family talks, what can they hide?
Remember, if they don't let you listen today, they don't treat you as family! "
"But……"
"What can't you listen to?" Roland lit another cigarette, "Xiaolan, sit tight."
"Oh..." Xiaolan sat back obediently, her expression uglier than eating a fly. Who wants to listen here? It can take several hours to chat silently, which is more annoying than listening to the teacher's lecture at school!
Seeing this, Fang Xiaoling got up and walked towards the round table, "Anna, you go back first, I will continue teaching you tomorrow."
"Okay, Tutor Xiaoling." Anna bowed in the direction of the round table, "I'm sorry for disturbing you."
"It's okay, Anna, please wait a minute." Li Xiaoyu stood up, walked quickly to the cupboard and took out a few croissants, "Take these with you, I'm really sorry, we have something to deal with at home today, and we didn't treat you well. Please forgive me.
Second niece, come and see your friend off quickly? "
"No need, Aunt Xiaoyu! Strictly speaking, Sister Xiaoling is my tutor. There is no reason for a tutor to send students off in person." Anna pushed the croissant back, "I can't take the things in the store, thank you Aunt Xiaoyu, I Let’s go first.”
Anna was a little embarrassed, so she turned around and walked out the door. Li Xiaoyu chased after her and insisted on giving her the croissant.
It just so happened that at this time, the door of the cafe could not be opened, and there was a rolling shutter door outside.
In desperation, Anna had no choice but to accept the bread and asked with some embarrassment: "How did you open this door?"
Wang Chenyu snapped his fingers, and the cold wind from outside blew in instantly.
"Thank you!" Anna ran out immediately and looked back to see that the cafe had returned to its original state.
She wrapped her coat tightly and planned to go back to the hotel first, but she saw a thin man in a vest sitting on the road in front of the cafe.
The man had his back to her, a crutch beside his hand, and a broken bowl in front of him.
In fact, begging is an attitude towards life in this era.
Most people treat beggars with respect, but whether they give them money or not is another matter entirely.
Without thinking much, Anna stepped forward and placed the two croissants on his bowl, then took off her coat and put it on him.
The man's hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and the stubble on his face seemed to have been shaved but not shaved cleanly, with varying lengths.
He looked to be in his fifties, and the wrinkles on his face gathered together with a smile, "Thank you, kind girl."
"You're welcome."
Anna nodded politely, and after walking a few steps, she heard the beggar say behind her: "When you return to the coffee shop tomorrow, help me bring a message to the team."
