When Omer opened his eyes in reality, he was deeply trapped in the sense of separation between being extremely weak mentally and quite healthy physically.
He raised his hand with difficulty to try to take off the instrument, but another hand easily took it off for him.
"Little~snake~!"
The person who took off the instrument spoke, and the long syllables showed unmistakable dissatisfaction, and the posture of leaning forward with arms akimbo was trying to emphasize the oppression.
This may not make sense.
Even if Omo is sitting on the bed, his height is not much lower than the other person.
But he couldn't show the calmness he usually had when dealing with willful girls.
"…Thanks."
"You know that's not what I want to hear, right?" Qian narrowed her eyes slightly, and the device like a headset and glasses shook in her hand.
This movement is like a horse girl's sweeping tail, revealing a message of impatience.
The reason for this metaphor is not to say that Omer's thinking has been completely transformed into a trainer, but that there is indeed a tail scraping around him.
The tail belonged to the hands that lifted him up from the bed. They were the brown-haired horse girl who was the driver of the iron ball in GBN. She was holding his entire upper body up, and then she was like playing with a power-off robot.
"I mean Qian-kun - there are more important questions than this, right?" Her tone was still full of interest, but while supporting Omer, she freed up one hand to lift the latter's arm. Then let go, repeating this process, watching the arm swing like it was dislocated.
Obviously very interested in his state.
"Don't you feel it at all?" she asked, making Omer wrinkle his nose.
He smelled something strange.
The smell can hardly be called perfume. The mixture of several smells is a little pungent, but it seems like the residue that was not cleaned when it was mixed up in the laboratory.
Omo couldn't help but think of the changes in Dongshang.
The little witch who grinded herbs that I saw in Hongying District not long ago was also very poor in handling the aftermath.
There is still a long way to go before she reaches the maturity and stability she longs for.
"...Level 2 insensitivity, like working for several days and nights," even opening his mouth must be prefaced with excitement, Omo replied while looking back at Qian, "Insisted on conducting experiments and I'm sorry for driving the iron ball away."
This answer made the girl's eyes widen: "You call that driving away!"
In the GBN's public space dungeon before that, the high imitation Demon God Zero was liberated and appeared. The first step he performed was rocket flying fist to send away the iron ball with the fist style.
Even if it's just a boxing style, you have to be careful about the risk of destroying the iron ball, let alone two and a half of its passengers (Morrison counts as half).
This is one of the reasons for Akane's dissatisfaction.
The second reason is——
"We're obviously going to conduct an experiment, but you didn't take me to the cockpit! Can't you see the other person clearly!"
'AFOV', the full name is apparent field of view, an astronomical term that means the visible field of view of observation, and is used by the new universe to call Akane Shinjo.
As early as in the discussion before the action, the three of them got together to analyze the specific meanings of the nouns in the words of the new universe (tentatively named Ma Niang A at that time), and came to the conclusion that what Akane Shinjou represented - —It is the only one who can completely observe the other party's existence.
So she should be included in 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' this time. When she was invited by Omer to visit GBN with a model, saying that they were going to do an experiment, she thought so.
Even Suzi, who suddenly followed, thought so. Unexpectedly, after entering the dungeon, there would be a chat room that excluded everyone.
This 'change of tune' was too sudden, and I was not only disappointed but also a little angry after my expectations failed.
But is this really a change of heart midway?
Omo had no intention of letting them participate in the experimental core from the beginning, and bringing Akane Shinjo was just to let her strengthen the role of the 'beacon'.
At that time, she was the only one who had seen the New Universe itself, which in turn proved that the New Universe was capable of action and even had a way to 'lock' her location.
Taking her with you is Omer's insurance.
And being willing to bring Tachyon with him is because he hopes to have more analysts who have personally experienced the incident.
However, it was also true that Omer did not make this clear at the beginning, so Omer did not insist on arguing from the perspective of 'facts'.
After all, this girl's anger itself was mixed with a bit of willfulness. Otherwise, just looking at his current situation, Akane Shinjo would have understood why Omo didn't take them with him.
Demon God Zero's cockpit, even if it's just a high imitation, is still not a good place to be.
The result of passing it all together is nothing more than being ejected early by the protection system of the device itself, or experiencing a chain reaction of mental overload, increased heartbeat, and high body temperature.
On the other hand - the demon can survive these problems with his current physique, but he cannot avoid the fatigue after being freed from the heavy pressure.
"Sorry, I think it's time for you to go and enjoy your dessert."
"Eh? Do you want to cover it?"
"Because I feel that if you come to my cockpit, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enjoy desserts."
"Well..." These words were enough to make Akane face the reality, and she fell silent when she looked at Omo, who was only half-lying with Tako's hand supporting her.
At this time, Suzi impatiently added: "Aren't you uncomfortable listening to his sickly way of speaking? The most important thing now is the conclusion!"
Not only Omo, she can also see Akane's unreasonable state. Although it is also Guinea Pig's fault that he can clearly see the other person's expectations but does not make it clear, but what does that have to do with her love for Arisuko?
Although she regretted that she could not personally participate in such an amazing experiment of meeting in a simulated universe, she was able to recognize the reality.
Especially when it comes to topics involving experiments, she will seek the next step more pragmatically:
"So have you met her?"
Existing in the electronic realm, without contact with human souls, and directly changing from a racehorse soul to a racehorse girl - Arisuko is more interested in studying it than anyone else.
"I saw it, even though it was just an outline." Glancing at Akane, who was silent, Omer continued despite his dizziness and headache, "I'm sure it's the child named New Universe."
"The physical time we communicated was only about ten seconds, but we still came up with several key pieces of information through your questions and answers."
"She observes in different time and space...In other words, there are multiple versions of her, herself."
"She is also looking for...visualization, but has not...found a solution..."
"She will wait patiently...and will show up if the opportunity arises, not just in...GBN."
"Not bad~ Mr. Guinea Pig, you can know so much in ten seconds, you are quite efficient." Suzi was a little surprised, but hearing his reluctance, he slowly lowered the hand that was supporting him and asked him to start again. Lie back on the bed.
Then he couldn't help complaining: "Is your somatosensory time abnormal?"
"Perhaps..." Omer was not sure of his judgment. After all, his condition at that time was really bad, but it is worth mentioning, "But you also know that her way of speaking is somewhat similar to Bourbon... …and there are a lot of astronomical terms…”
Those things are ambiguous and inherently informative.
Just like ancient poetry, a sentence that is actually very short can be interpreted very long, unlike a conversation that can be completed in more than ten seconds.
After listening to this, Suzi thought for a while, then looked down at him and said: "Go back and take out the original words she said and compare them. Now you..."
After sizing up the guy in front of her who wanted to squint as soon as he touched the bed, she turned back and walked out of the house: "I'll find some potions for you."
"Do you still have any medicine that can be used in this situation?" Akane, who had listened to the whole process with her head down, raised her head and felt strange, "You were the one who kept the door locked for the past few days?"
"Of course not," Tako stopped after hearing the words, turned around with a subtle smile on his face, looked at Omo on the bed, and then looked back at Akane, "But maybe it can have an effect, how about you Try it first?"
"Isn't this... bad? Snakes and I have different physiques." Miss Akane, who loves monsters, doesn't want to turn into light at all.
Even though this roommate has recently been tinkering with works that have the side effect of producing black air.
"Too."
Suzi was surprisingly easy to talk to. She nodded and ran back downstairs. For a moment, she and Omo were the only ones left in the room. When she turned around, she saw that Omo's eyes had been completely closed.
"Ah! Don't sleep! You can sleep in this state for several days! It will mess up all the action plans!" She still understood Omo, and one sentence made the latter's eyelids tremble.
But it was only a tremor, which made her who was squatting by the bed staring at Omo reach out her hand to poke his forehead, and then slowly approached the edge of the eye socket, making the eyelids tremble even more intensely.
Some gaps opened slightly.
"Stay awake. This is my bed. Is your terminal also ringing?"
It's indeed hard to be truly angry when looking at him like this.
"Help me... get through, it should be... it's... Justis."
"Oh! That super agent, right?" Qian had admired his name for a long time, and the most profound impression she had recently was this earthy name.
I don’t really want to see you.
"Yes, I asked him to... observe and record all the external data when talking to the new universe."
"What is that for?" Qian was a little confused.
"It can lock... the area where she can probably carry out activities, and even actively contact her."
