It was never malice that trapped them, it was themselves.
Just like the indifferent tone of the young man at the end, he looked like he didn't care at all.
It's because he knows that everyone is the same. In the end, he is the one who is unwilling to let go of himself.
I would rather be stuck in memories forever than wake up from a dream.
This is a huge dream.
There is only sweetness and warmth inside.
It is oneself who is trapped.
Cheng Ye was silent. He walked to the window of the stairs and looked out at the moonlight: "If this is the case, how can I bring it back to Dudu?"
Cheng Ye didn't know what had happened, and there was something here that he couldn't let go of and was unwilling to give up.
He left his soul here voluntarily.
The game world is too cruel. He is only nine years old. Do we really want him to wake up and accept the cruel reality?
Cheng Ye frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.
He couldn't understand and couldn't make a judgment.
On the other hand, what Wei Sheng'an said a long time ago has been ringing in my ears: "If you really lived in a virtual place for thirty years, forty years, or even a lifetime, you would be willing to give up everything here. Go back to the so-called reality?"
Cheng Ye couldn't answer at that time.
Cheng Ye couldn't answer now.
Because he doesn't know, it's as if there is no standard answer to this question, but it depends on what each person thinks.
But he didn't know.
The moonlight shines gently on Cheng Ye's body through this small window.
He looked a little decadent and confused.
The back is slightly curved.
He felt very confused, couldn't think clearly, and his mind was messy, like a cat messing up a ball of thread.
Liu Jianjun said nothing.
In the darkness, his expression was unclear and unclear.
After a while, he sighed: "To be honest, forty years have passed in the outside world."
"I was 45 years old when I entered the game, which means that if I were in the outside world, I would be 85 years old."
"85, my wife is two years younger than me, which means she is 83 years old this year..."
Speaking of this, Liu Jianjun's voice was choked up: "My children, my children are older than me."
"When I entered the game, he was only a teenager. I missed his growth, his wedding, everything about him..."
"Also, my mother and my father, I have never fulfilled my filial piety, and I don't know how they have lived all these years..."
Liu Jianjun's voice became more and more trembling. He stopped and gasped for air, as if he was trying his best to control his emotions.
yes.
So many years.
Fast forward forty years.
They have worked hard in this game with their own beliefs over the years, isn't it so that one day they can be reunited with their families?
but.
Are they still there?
Just like Liu Jianjun’s mother and father, they...
Maybe it's long gone...
Liu Jianjun's head hung down, like a withered flower.
He stood there, losing all strength.
The voice slowly sounded again, but very quietly: "If I were here, I could see my relatives, my children, my wife, my parents..."
"Do I really want to go out? To gamble on a future with little hope?"
Liu Jianjun's expression was very sad. The moonlight could not shine on him, and his whole person was trapped in darkness.
Cheng Ye raised his head and looked at Liu Jianjun.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
What can be said?
Forty years later, things have changed.
2060 and 2020.
There have been two worlds for a long time.
Even things like old-fashioned buses can only be seen in the opening animation of the game.
What else remains unchanged?
If you can stay happy here forever, do you really want to leave?
The two fell into silence.
At this moment, they both understood what the dream demon was.
The real world is too cruel, causing people to wither.
The so-called doomsday is nothing but human self-abandonment.
Everyone is running away and doesn't want to face it.
Everyone is willing to hide in a safe range, even if it is just a sweet dream, but no one wants to wake up.
Just like that single mother, maybe in the real world, she has a very bad life, her husband is very bad, and he even competes for her children.
So here, although she does not have a husband, she can be with her children.
together forever.
There was even a handsome single guy living right across from her, who seemed very reliable.
She was a little scared in her heart, so the young man went out early and came back late, and had little interaction with her.
but.......
But this is a dream world that can be moved by your thoughts.
As long as she is willing, she can gain the man's favor and live the beautiful life she longs for again.
The same goes for other neighbors.
The newlyweds longed for a lasting marriage, so opposite them lived an old couple on their golden wedding.
They are forever happy and live a life they envy in their later years.
Everyone here is living in their own dreams.
Moreover, they finally lived a life without suspicion, without danger, and everyone was happy.
Friendliness, helpfulness, and lack of defensiveness. These beautiful qualities can finally be displayed in front of anyone without setting up any defenses.
Because no one can hurt them.
Because everyone is like them.
This is the country they built together.
It is a country that is helpless and broken.
I don't know how much time passed, but Cheng Ye said hoarsely, "No matter what, we'd better find Dudu first."
Liu Jianjun looked at Cheng Ye and was silent for a while: "Find him, and then what?"
"He is nine years old, and he is also a big kid. When I was in elementary school, my father asked me to learn to make my own decisions about my own affairs. I have experienced a lot in this game, and he has grown a lot... ..."
"I believe in him and that he has the ability to make decisions about his own life."
Cheng Ye said seriously, calmly and solemnly: "If he has made up his mind, I will not advise him."
"This is the life he wants."
"But if he is willing to leave, I will definitely find a way to take him away."
Liu Jianjun thought for a while and asked, "What do you think is the probability that he will be willing to leave?"
Cheng Ye shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know, but I know that in the main city of Dudu, he hopes to wake up every day."
"He can't let go of Chu Yue, he can't let go of Ah Hui, he can't let go of Fatty... and he can't let go of me."
"There is something he misses, and he also wants to return to the main city, fight for an unknown future with us, and return to his true relatives."
"Even if he is completely lost in a dream right now... I still want to ask him personally."
Cheng Ye said firmly.
Liu Jianjun smiled and said, "Let's go then. I'll search with you. We'll knock on each building one by one."
