After hanging up the communication, the faint smile on Jiang Hui's face quickly faded.
The surroundings are very quiet. There are faint footsteps in the distance. People are talking. Buses pass by from time to time on the track set above the sky. The planet with a strong presence on the horizon is still turning quietly... This is undoubtedly this planet. A very ordinary day.
But this is not the case for Jiang Hui, a Blue Star native.
She was stunned in the pavilion for a while, and then she slowly got up and headed towards the entrance of the apartment not far away.
The lobby on the first floor is as full of contemporary features as ever. It is mainly based on white, light blue and calm gray coffee. The floors, walls and ceilings are decorated with panels of various high-tech materials. To be honest, it's quite uncomfortable. This extremely cold decoration style has some traces of mechanization and industrialization. It is not popular at all. Jiang Hui, a Chinese from the human society, is not used to it. .
This was a constant reminder to her that she had arrived in a completely different world than before - one that she could never go back to.
There is an intelligent robot at the front desk, and behind it there is a large cabinet with small compartments similar to express boxes, which takes up the entire wall. According to memory, this should be the place where letters are sent.
The smart system detected her and asked her very politely if she could help. Jiang Hui just saw that there was nothing she could do to help. She looked at it for a while, then followed the street signs and took the elevator leading to Apartment B and went home.
Interstellar people probably live in relatively loose accommodation. Because of the entire interstellar development, houses are habitually built to be relatively spacious. Take the house where I originally lived. There is only one home on one floor, and even the surrounding greenery and common areas belong to her alone.
Building A has a larger base, so it has two rooms on one floor. It's actually quite clean, but Jiang Hui prefers it.
Building B is a ring-shaped room. After getting on the elevator and bypassing the specially designed screens and other decorations, I finally saw the door.
It seems that the Harus Group is really wealthy, and the compensation door is made of better material and is much thicker than the previous door. It also has high-end wood grain, which is really cool.
With this thought, Jiang Hui used pupil recognition to open the door.
"Click." The door opened instantly.
Originally, I didn't drive so fast, because if the intelligent system is still there, it still needs to check the biometric data and record it in the book before it can open the door. However, the original machine core of the intelligent system has been taken away by the Harus Group, so there are only some intelligent and automatic furniture left in the house.
This was closer to the type of high-tech residence she knew in Blue Star - barely within the scope of her cognition.
Well, her current state and mentality are still more suitable for this. She is exposed to too many things that are beyond the times at once, which is really confusing, and she can't tell whether it is a dream or reality.
She stood at the door blankly, her eyes blank, and the door automatically closed behind her, making a dull closing sound.
"Only those whose brain waves have completely disappeared can be considered brain dead." This sentence came to mind again.
I was so busy that I didn't even realize it. I just felt like my heart was as heavy as a stone, and I couldn't relieve my depression. But when everything stopped, something heavy that had been weighing on her heart poured out, and she couldn't stop it.
"We're back." She said to the empty room.
It was destined that no one would respond to her.
She turned back to make sure the door was locked, and passed by unfamiliar halls, rooms, and corridors, and finally came to the bedroom door at the end.
An entire section of the wall next to the bedroom was demolished. It was originally the interface of the smart system and was empty.
The door opened automatically upon detecting the arrival of the owner, and she walked straight in. This was the only place she was familiar with in this home.
The room was the same as the one she saw on the first day she arrived, except that there was no intelligent robot. The room was very large, much larger than her initial impression. It was about sixty square meters. The bed faced north and south, facing each other in a semi-curved shape. Thick curtains were hung to cover the interior airtightly. .
The automatic sensing row lights are dim and the brightness is just right.
Jiang Hui stood in the room for a while, and then fell down on the soft bed. It was supposed to be a relatively comfortable and comfortable experience, but in the blink of an eye, a completely unfamiliar smell came over her, shaking her whole body. They all became a little stiff.
She turned over, pulled the soft pillow over and covered her face with it. She held her breath until she felt a slight suffocation. Only then did she barely feel that she was still alive.
"Oh, forget it for now, I really have a headache..."
The girl's mumbling voice became smaller and smaller, and recently it was just the sound of breathing.
The lights in the bedroom were also turned off at the right time, and the room fell into darkness.
Jiang Hui couldn't tell whether he was awake or dreaming. This is...her home?
Is she finally home? Could it be that everything before was just a dream?
She walked around the small home like a ghost, and in the process she came back to her senses. This kind of uncontrollable emptiness in movements and thoughts can only be found in dreams. It is obvious that this is her dream...
Yes, on the day of the meteor shower, because of a bowl of instant noodles and a computer malfunction, she inexplicably left the Blue Star and went to a world in the distant starry sky where interstellar chronology is used.
There, in a short period of time, she saw many technologies that were unimaginable in Blue Star.
For Jiang Hui, a Blue Star native, this is an extremely unfamiliar country. The original body was suspected to be brain-dead, which made her feel a heavy feeling in her heart.
At a certain moment that she didn't know, a soul was destroyed, and then her ghost, which came from nowhere, inherited this body, identity, and everything in her life.
It's not that she doesn't want to live, but she doesn't want to occupy other people's bodies. She is also grateful to God and her original body for giving her a chance to live again, but she would rather return to her own world and continue her ordinary life.
It's a pity that the original body seems to have really died like this, and she obviously can't return to her own world.
What’s the next step? Jiang Hui had no clue, just like she had no clue at this moment about this slightly too realistic dream.
Alas, who can tell her why a person still can't wake up in time when he knows he is in a dream.
If it was a dream, wake up quickly. She really felt that the scene in front of her made her, a person who could never go home again, very uncomfortable.
She turned around in her dream home again, and finally stopped in front of the inexplicably mutated giant computer embedded in the floor-to-ceiling window, feeling a flash of emotion in her heart.
It’s a different world but I still always dream about computers, which shows that deep down in my heart I really feel that I died an unjust death. But even in the dream, there was no other culprit. She felt that the instant noodles seemed to have played a big role in it.
Wow, I never expected that this person couldn't even eat a bite of instant noodles before he died. It's really miserable to be a worker.
