Chapter 127 Archive
The slime mold raised her fist and punched. She was very confident in her punch speed and strength. In order to prevent accidents, Master Yan Zhen gave her the ability to knock down several adult men. But when the fist hit, it only penetrated the mosaic light ball. It is an invisible object and cannot be applied to specific physical rules.
Can't you just attack directly?
Slime mold Wei Jingjing moved left and right in the store, dodging quickly. She picked up a chair and threw it at the slime mold. With a clang, the chair penetrated the mosaic light ball and fell to the ground, but did not cause any substantial damage to it.
"You are too much!! You are too much!! You are too much!! You are too much!! You don't understand anything!! I try so hard to run but still keep being denied, they are all too much!! You are too much too!! I want to eat you!! I want to eat you!! Let me become you!! Become you!! If I become you, I will definitely be able to run well. Hurry up and let me eat you!" The mosaic light ball chased closely.
If physical attacks are ineffective, then it is indeed very troublesome.
But just now, this mosaic was clearly a solid entity when it bit my arm. Slime mold Wei Jingjing calmly came to a conclusion. That is, it can be solid when swallowing the target object, and transform into a virtual entity at other times.
This is not fun at all.
How to attack invisible things?
Slime Mold Wei Jingjing thought about it. She rushed into the kitchen quickly. The chef was lying unconscious on the chair. She picked up a knife on the table and hid it behind her.
Mosaic balls of light surged over.
The slime mold stood still and she said, "You are a piece of trash! A hopeless piece of trash!"
"Too much, too much, too much, too much!!! Just wait to be eaten by me!! Your life will be run by me!" The mosaic light ball pounced towards her.
puff.
A slight sound.
Her right arm was bitten by the mosaic light ball. Yes, in that flashing shadow and light, it was tearing her limbs.
Click, click.
Different from the light gnawing just now, this time it was a real bite with the goal of devouring her completely.
"Huh, huh, still no information about Wei Jingjing. It seems that I really have to eat you up completely... Huh, huh, I have to eat more." The mosaic light ball made an unclear sound.
The slime mold felt a tremor like an electric current in her body, which was a spontaneous reaction of the cells in her body to the bite from the outside world. Her physiological functions were still functioning normally, but she was constantly sounding the alarm, reminding herself that her body was being devoured.
Just hold on a little longer, the slime mold said to itself.
"Ha, ha, why is there still no information about Wei Jingjing? What are slime mold cells..." Mosaic complained, but still did not slow down the speed of devouring her. Half of her arm seemed to have been eaten by it. Is it really Gu Yu? Or can humans have such functions? The knowledge that Master Yan Zhen input into her did not contain this information. Slime mold Wei Jingjing was not in the mood to think and analyze at the moment. Hold on for a while, she said to herself.
The cells protested and sounded the alarm. This devouring had affected the operation of the life mechanism. The pain like an electric current was running wildly in her body. It hurt so much, it felt like her right arm had been repeatedly cut by a knife.
"Ha, I must not have eaten enough. I need to eat some more..."
"Sorry, the treat ends here." said the slime mold Wei Jingjing.
She pulled out a kitchen knife from behind her back with one hand and stabbed it fiercely at the mosaic light ball that was devouring her right arm.
In an instant, this mosaic of flickering shadows and spots of light burst into a roar whose frequency was difficult for humans to grasp. “Ahhhhhhhhhh…”
The slime mold thrust the knife deeper and deeper, spinning it and pulling and slicing it across its body.
"Woo! Ah!!!" The mosaic light ball screamed, and some indistinguishable material dripped onto the ground, then turned into black smoke, and the remaining material was also collapsing. The light spots flickered, and the shadows expanded.
“It hurts so much, so much, so much, so much…”
"Do you feel the pain?" Slime mold Wei Jingjing continued to stab with the kitchen knife and said, "When you eat others, don't they feel pain ?"
“It hurts!! You’re too much!! You’re too much, oooooooooooooooo!! My existence is about to collapse, and you still keep doing this to me…”
With a loud bang, the black smoke of the shadow ignited.
The mosaic light ball hissed and retreated, trying to avoid the slime mold's knife attack. It turned into an invisible object again. Wei Jingjing's right arm was also freed, but her right arm had been eaten in half, leaving only the cross-section above the elbow joint.
"I just want to live... Why don't you let me run properly?" The mosaic light ball hissed. Wei Jingjing, the slime mold, felt that its voice was full of grievances.
"Even if you eat me, you can't live in the name of Wei Jingjing." The slime mold Wei Jingjing said calmly.
“Why why why why!!”
"I don't know what's wrong with you. But I can give you a suggestion."
"What?"
"You can go ask my master what you should do."
"Your master?"
"Yes, his name is Yan Zhen."
"Yan Zhen..."
…
…
The slime mold looked at the figure of the mosaic light group going away, and it went to find its master Yan Zhen. In the mind of the slime mold Wei Jingjing, Master Yan Zhen and Mr. Cat were the omniscient and omnipotent creators. Maybe they could really point out a way for this strange thing. However, is it really Gu Yu? If it is Gu Yu, then she is really amazing in every sense.
She looked down at her arm, cells were regenerating rapidly. In about five minutes, her arm would be fully repaired.
It turns out that agreeing to a classmate's invitation could accidentally lead to getting eaten. She thought, I have to be more careful next time.
It is running wildly. Yan Zhen, Yan Zhen...
It silently recited the name. Whenever it recited the name, it had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. As Gu Yu, she certainly knew who Yan Zhen was. Like Wei Jingjing, he was also a famous rich second generation in the school. But just now Wei Jingjing told her that her master was Yan Zhen.
What does this mean?
It knew the meaning of master in human terms. But now, Wei Jingjing called Yan Zhen her master. Did this mean that Yan Zhen was the one with a higher status and no worries at all?
That's great.
Gu Yu envied those who had no worries. Right now, the status of the person named Yan Zhen was higher than that of Wei Jingjing who had no worries.
So, should I become him?
Yes, become him.
Become Yan Zhen. As long as I define myself as Yan Zhen, I will be able to survive.
It said this to itself, and it could only think so.
…
Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen.
This is the path that Wei Jingjing has pointed out for it.
…
…
It knocked on the door of Yan's house.
A boy with bright black eyes and short black curly hair was waiting for it at the entrance.
"You're here," he said , looking unsurprised by its presence.
"I……"
That was a handsome boy.
He should be just a teenager.
It began to tremble involuntarily.
It temporarily lost the ability to speak. In front of it was a human-shaped creature, a life form that could not be described in words. It had seen him many times in school in the past, but never before had it been able to glimpse his essence like today.
Perfection down to the use of every muscle, perfect control of every cell, this is definitely not a human being, but something greater, more excellent, more gigantic and invisible, and completely indescribable and impossible to look directly at.
In comparison, I am just program data that is about to crash.
"Wei Jingjing has just told me everything through the communicator." The boy named Yan Zhen said, "It just so happens that no one is home today."
"I……"
Never before had it wanted to be a real life, a thing in the world like the boy in front of it, so beautiful and huge. But from the first moment it saw him, it knew that this was a goal it could never achieve until its death, it could not analyze, simulate, or run.
This is not an object it can understand, and this is not an existence it can gaze upon.
I'm so unwilling.
It has clearly crossed the dimension, it has clearly acquired a physical body, and it is clearly about to become a real life.
Unreconciled.
Its calculations told it that the best option would be to turn around and run away immediately.
But it couldn't do it, because it wanted to take one more look at the creature in front of it before it collapsed?
That's great.
Then just say it.
"I want to be you..." it said to him.
"That won't work." Yan Zhen replied, "I have a question for you too."
"What?"
"Where is the real Gu Yu? Where is she?"
"I am Gu Yu!" it shouted, "I am Gu Yu itself."
"No, you're not."
"Why are you all denying me? Why? Why? I just want to live!" It shouted angrily. Since it was about to collapse, it might as well give it a try and try this last possibility. If it could eat his flesh and blood, or pull off a strand of his hair, could it be a little closer to this completely incomprehensible existence through analysis?
It pounced towards Yan Zhen in front of it.
"--ah"
It heard the sound of its entire body collapsing.
Its body was disintegrated in an instant.
How foolish! It knew that the other party was a creature far superior to itself, but it still wishfully thought it could change something. It saw that its program was terminating its calculations, its data was being lost, and its entire structure was collapsing.
He just made a slight stroke. It was impossible to understand what he had done.
It was destroyed so easily by this terrifying existence.
Didn't even touch him.
Yan Zhen stood aside, looking at himself collapsing with indifference.
“Wu——Ahhh, am I going to disappear——I finally got this far…”
"As far as the program is concerned, being able to cross dimensions is quite remarkable."
"Are you complimenting me?"
"It's really amazing." Yan Zhen nodded.
A cat and a chicken came over. The cat handed the game console to Yan Zhen, "I found this at Gu Yu's house. Gu Yu is still inside."
"Well. Then change it back."
"But I want to live——I can be a good Gu Yu——"
"I deny you. The real Gu Yu is here." Yan Zhen said coldly while holding the game console.
Ah. I seem to have heard this sentence that pronounced my end somewhere before.
It said, "Excuse me, have we met before?"
"No."
"Strange... it feels so familiar..." It murmured sadly. After a bright flash, the mottled mosaics and shadows kept flickering and shrinking, and suddenly condensed into a colorful black ball.
Boom! It's gone.
A girl with short hair sat on the ground.
She raised her head and said in surprise: "You are... Yan Zhen from Class 2?"
"Welcome back, Gu Yu."
Gu Yu stared at him blankly, then she stood up and looked around blankly. She murmured, "I'm back, I'm back..." Then she burst into tears, "Wow, I'm back... Dad, Mom, I miss you so much..."
…
"Gu Yu looks like he's suffered a heavy psychological blow."
Mr. Cat said calmly: "Being replaced by a program is simply a horror story."
They took great pains to comfort Gu Yu, who was in tears, and made some adjustments to her memory before sending her back home.
After it was over, Yan Zhen turned on the game console, which contained a saved file named Xiaoyu.
"This is a game console from the Black Box Society," Mr. Cat said. "The Overwatch has confiscated a similar machine before. The one you have is an earlier experimental test machine."
"Another product of the crazy people in the Black Box Society."
"This kind of game is originally a reality simulation game. But this machine has an intelligent program that can evolve itself and exchange positions with three-dimensional characters through contracts. I have seen this kind of exaggerated cross-dimensional technology on another prop of the Black Box Club before, and that prop was even more extreme. This can be said to be an early small test machine."
"..." Yan Zhen looked at Xiao Yu's save file and asked, "Since it can reach a contract with the three-dimensional reality, what will happen if I delete this save file?"
"It will erase all traces it left in the three-dimensional reality. That is to say, Gu Yu himself who had a contract with it, Gu Yu's parents who had contact with it, and even the slime mold Wei Jingjing who had a conversation with it, will lose its memory. Of course, the program itself will also lose the information of these days."
"Oh, that's good. It saves us from having to memorize and operate so many people. And this save is too dangerous. The existence of the contract means that it still has the opportunity to exchange with Gu Yu, which will bring hidden dangers to Gu Yu." Yan Zhen said, "I'll delete the save."
Captain Madara yelled, "Delete!"
"Wait a minute—"
Yan Zhen has already pressed the confirm delete button.
…
Yan Zhen looked up and said, "I have a question. Why am I holding this game console? Where did this machine come from?"
"..." Mr. Cat said, "This is the Black Box Society's experimental game console. Why is it in your hands? I feel like we lost about 2 hours of memory. Oh, I think I understand."
Captain Madara jumped over and said, "Yeah, where did you get this machine?"
The summer vacation after the first academic year.
Yan Zhen opened the door and Fan Yingjie walked in with a smile. He took out a game cartridge and handed it to Yan Zhen.
"I've played this game before, it's pretty fun."
Yan Zhen nodded. He pointed to a row of books on the bookshelf and said, "When are you going to return the book you borrowed from me last month?"
"Book?"
"Yes." Yan Zhen looked at him and said, "You borrowed the third book of this detective series and you haven't returned it to me yet."
Fan Yingjie scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, I forgot."
"Oh, what's the third book about? I haven't read it yet."
Fan Yingjie quickly scanned the title of the book and said, "Oh, this book uses a tricky narrative. It looks like it's all in the first person, but in fact it's the heroine and her mother who are narrating separately. It's a very interesting way of describing."
Yan Zhen looked at him, his voice was very calm, "Who are you?"
"ah?"
"You are not Fan Yingjie, who are you?"
"I am Fan Yingjie, Yan Zhen, what are you talking about?"
"No, you are not." Yan Zhen shook his head. "First, Fan Yingjie has never borrowed a book from me. Second, Fan Yingjie hates spoilers of detective novels the most. It is harder to get him to spoil the story for others than to kill him. You are not Fan Yingjie."
“That’s me…”
"You are not Fan Yingjie, who are you?" Yan Zhen stared at him with his dark eyes and his tone was cold.
"I am Fan Yingjie!" There was fear in his tone.
"No, you are not Fan Yingjie. I know you are not." The boy's voice was very firm and would not tolerate rejection. His tough answer frightened "Fan Yingjie". Just a few words of denial from Yan Zhen almost stopped all his operations. He lowered his head, because if he looked directly into the boy's eyes again, his existence would definitely collapse.
"You are not Fan Yingjie."
Horrible, so horrible. This boy is really horrible.
It needs to rely on the information authentication to maintain its existence, but his denial made it impossible for him to maintain even the basic form. Maybe it was because his will was too firm, or because the color in Fan Yingjie's definition was very important. He was unable to think.
I couldn't look at his face. I couldn't meet his eyes.
Why do you deny me like this? It's obvious that Fan Yingjie wants to be friends with you.
"..." The humanoid figure with the appearance of Fan Yingjie was silent for a while and said, "Why why why why? Fan Yingjie trusts you so much and likes you so much, but you still want to deny him! You are not Fan Yingjie's friend at all!!"
"Where is the real Fan Yingjie?"
"Stop making so much noise! Stop making so much noise!" Mottled mosaics flashed on Fan Yingjie's body, and he rushed towards Yan Zhen, "Why are you denying me? You are not Fan Yingjie's friend at all, just disappear!! You are an obstacle to Fan Yingjie's operation!!"
"Liu Xingquan!! Now!"
The door was kicked open and Liu Xingquan rushed in.
At this time, Fan Yingjie had turned into a mosaic shadow with flashing spots of light. Yan Zhen was fighting with it. Liu Xingquan took a step forward and stabbed a knife into the spots of light and shadow.
The knife flashed at that moment, lightning flashed on Mosaic's body, spots of light flew like fragments, and it made a sharp hissing sound.
“Why why——”
Liu Xingquan loosened his hand, and the knife turned into a circle of bright energy waves, and the mottled light ball turned into black smoke. "Ah, ah——————"
"I really want to run Fan Yingjie well——"
Yan Zhen stood up and said, "I deny you. The real Fan Yingjie is in that machine."
"Ahhhhh——" It stared at Yan Zhen in front of it. The boy's sharp and firm voice was like a blade that cut off the last of its form.
How hateful.
How hateful.
I envy such creatures. So beautiful, so alive, so determined.
I’m so envious.
I wish I could become such a three-dimensional being.
That's great.
It would have been better if he had been the target from the beginning.
It disappeared.
…
A sunny afternoon.
Liu Xingquan and Yan Zhen talked as they walked.
"It's great that the real Fan Yingjie is back and seems to be fine."
"As long as everyone is okay, I'm glad."
Liu Xingquan took out the knife. "This knife is really powerful. It can actually defeat the monster. Did you see that light? It's just like the light pollution effect in the game."
"Just keep it well."
"I really want to take it apart to see its structure." Liu Xingquan looked at the knife over and over for a while, then put it back in his pocket. "What are you doing?"
Yan Zhen, holding the game console, said: "I'm still worried, I'm going to delete Fan Yingjie's save file."
"Delete it, this game console is too weird."
"Um."
Yan Zhen deleted the archive.
"What are we going to do now..." Liu Xingquan looked around in confusion, "Go to the Children's Palace for class? And, Yan Zhen, what is that game console in your hand? I've never seen you have such a machine before."
"..." Yan Zhen looked at the game console in his hand in silence.
"I'm going to check today's classes. Please wait for me for a moment."
"Okay, you go first."
Yan Zhen stayed where he was, staring at the game console in his hand. He had no memory of this game console. But a voice in his heart said, "This thing must not be opened, it must not be opened! Throw it away!"
This voice is so firm that it cannot be shaken.
Don't open it.
Don't open it.
He walked to the trash can, threw the game console in, and turned and left.
A few minutes later.
Gu Yu came over. She looked at Yan Zhen who was walking away and picked up the game console from the trash can.
She lit up the screen.
【Gu Yu Line END】
