The cardboard box that fell on the ground immediately attracted the attention of both people.

Not to mention that the objects that rolled out of it were particularly familiar.

Mei Huayue was stunned for a second, then squatted down and looked at it carefully with interest.

"Hey, isn't this a GT?"

She laughed for a long time, then reached out and poked the unresponsive little mechanical ball. Then her expression slowly changed: "What's going on? No response? Is it turned off?"

Luo Shiqin grabbed her arm with one hand, pulled her pen pal up and behind her, then knelt on one knee and carefully poked the small mechanical ball which had no reaction.

Why is GT here? And why is he reacting like this?

After the changes brought about by the book of abnormal life in "The Age of Intelligence" returned to normal, she spent another two months unusually safely. If the lightning eye in her throat had not been there and Luo Shiqin could not see the life biographies above other people's heads, she would have thought that everything was over.

Two months later, the carton containing GT was delivered to the company building where Luo Shiqin worked.

She reached out and picked up the unresponsive mechanical ball. The silver-white metal mechanical ball lay in Luo Shiqin's palm. She shook the ball slightly twice, and the sunlight was reflected on the wall behind her.

Luo Shiqin thought of GT in "The Age of Intelligence". She felt inexplicably familiar with him from the moment he first appeared, but she didn't find out the reason until the Book of Abnormal Life disappeared and the world returned to normal.

She thought she would never see GT again in her life, but unexpectedly it appeared in front of Luo Shiqin again two months later.

This situation... made her feel as if the game's clearance rewards were delayed after she cleared the game.

"What's wrong with it?" The pen pal's voice echoed in my ears, "No reaction? Did the lightning you struck it two months ago make it stupid?"

Luo Shiqin: “.”

Speaking of this, we have to talk about Mei Huayue's situation.

Before receiving Mei Huayue's call at Smart Times, Luo Shiqin had never thought that her pen pal was in a similar situation to her.

According to her, she accidentally fell asleep in a taxi during the dinner party, and when she woke up she found herself in such an unfamiliar environment.

This is nothing. The problem is that Luo Shiqin thought that after the book of abnormal life disappeared, Mei Huayue probably couldn't remember anything and just thought that she had a relatively real dream in the taxi - because after all the abnormal life books disappeared before, at least Luo Shiqin's friends who were affected all thought so.

This is why Luo Shiqin never thought of reporting to the police from the beginning, because there was no way to leave any evidence.

Reality is modified and the memories of those affected are altered to reflect normal development.

But what she didn't expect was that not long after Luo Shiqin woke up and realized that reality had been corrected, Mei Huayue also arrived at the mall.

And it's the kind that retains a clear memory.

The pen pal kept repeating explanations in Luo Shiqin's ear for two months, and Luo Shiqin also spent two months thinking about how this situation happened.

Now, GT, a witness to most of the events in "The Age of Intelligence", has appeared in the revised reality, and happened to appear in front of Mei Huayue, who was full of confusion.

It seems that the explanation that had been delayed again and again can no longer be hidden.

Luo Shiqin is still a bit novel.

It's like an experienced traveler who has been walking in the desert for a long time finally meets a novice companion.

"Let's go inside and talk," she turned her head to look at her pen pal, motioning him to follow her back to the office, "I'll also give you the explanation you want."

"So, it's all true?"

Luo Shiqin concealed the fact that she had lightning eyes and that she could read the book of abnormal life, and briefly explained to her pen pal what had happened in the past few months. After that, the guy had a blank look on his face.

"Based on previous experience, your memory should also be corrected. Even in the best case scenario, you can just treat it as a dream and only see a little bit of the memory."

Luo Shiqin picked up the teacup and took a big gulp.

Seeing her like this, Mei Huayue unconsciously picked up the coffee at hand, and then was brought back to her senses by the cold bitterness.

She was stunned for a moment, then put the cup down, looked up and carefully looked at the woman in front of her.

Mei Huayue first met this pen pal she met online five years ago. That was when novels were emerging, and Luo Shiqin emerged as a dark horse in novel writing before everyone's eyes.

But later, this dark horse seemed to be sleepy. After finishing the book in hand, it stopped writing new works and remained silent for a long time.

It was only when Mei Huayue was chatting with her that she found out that this guy planned to "import" first and then "export" later.

As for how long it will be, it has always been a mystery.

Until just now, she heard the other person's true identity from her pen pal.

Good guy, a hermit master, a diplomat from the underworld, a part-time god of death, an employee of a research institute... No wonder there is no collaborative writing. If this were placed on an ordinary person, 24 hours a day would not be enough!

Are you a spinning top?

"How long have you been like this?"

Mei Huayue finally couldn't help but ask.

How long have you been working at this high intensity?

"Ah? Only two months," Luo Shiqin thought for a moment and added a patch to her settings. "More than two months ago, the underground job was gradually opened up, and I went from an intern to a diplomat position."

“It’s a good time.”

I just don't want to continue to be promoted.

Luo Shiqin thought seriously.

One is that I really don’t want to pay myself, and the other is that I don’t want to add a weird setting to my normal life.

Although ordinary life is too dull for novels, it is a great blessing for human beings who really live in it.

"No, I mean when did you first come into contact with these?"

Mei Huayue whispered, "Looking at your part-time job, it shouldn't be that easy, right?"

Contact with these?

Luo Shiqin thought about when she first started writing: "I remember it was eight years ago."

Eight years ago, the romance section of novels was mostly about ghosts and gods, the daughters of the underworld, or the seven princesses of heaven. It had become a trend of the time.

Luo Shiqin couldn't help but pay more attention to it at that time.

Fortunately, novel trends are changing rapidly, and today's novel themes are diverse.

"Eight years?!" the pen pal exclaimed in shock, "Employing child labor?!"

Luo Shiqin:?

She was stunned for a moment by the word "hiring child labor", and it took her a long time to realize what Mei Huayue meant.

"no……"

The woman couldn't help laughing. "It's not that serious. I was just visiting. I just got the hang of it recently."

Luo Shiqin thought she was asking about writing, and for a moment she failed to connect it to her own setting, which almost caused "Hades" to be accused of employing child labor.

Even though it’s all fiction…

But to be on the safe side, don't set this up.

Luo Shiqin has noticed that as her settings become more and more perfect, the impact of reality is gradually increasing. The "weakening" that was once there seems to be slowly decreasing.

In layman's terms, Luo Shiqin can now draw talismans with her bare hands to summon small thunderclouds without the help of the Book of Abnormal Life. In normal reality, she has reached a state that can only be achieved under the influence of the Book of Abnormal Life.

This seems to be a good thing, but Luo Shiqin has written many novels, and this kind of plot in the novel is called "the calm before the war."

But when the enemy comes, we will stop them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.

She had already prepared everything she needed to prepare, and making random guesses without any clue would only be a waste of time.

In just a few months of training, Luo Shiqin has already acquired a strong heart.

She has fully evolved! (×)

Mei Huayue's expression was complicated, as if she was thinking about a lot of things, but in the end she only uttered one sentence:

"I never thought that I would be able to see beautiful and tragic characters in reality in my lifetime..."

Beautiful, strong and miserable Luo Shiqin:?

"It's OK to be beautiful and strong, but it's not OK to be miserable."

Luo Shiqin raised her hand and resolutely refused to think: "I am an orthodox HE lover."

"Okay, okay, I know," the pen pal complained, and then sighed, "So you took me so long to explain, just to see if my memory would fade like before?"

Seeing the woman opposite nodding calmly, Mei Huayue's expression almost broke.

"So the stories you told me before weren't actually stories at all. They were your own real experiences, but no one else remembers them?"

"You could say that..."

Help me, don't you think you are some kind of beautiful, strong and tragic character? You are obviously a novelist, you should pay more attention to your character!

Mei Huayue forced herself to hold back her complaints and put on a fake smile: "Okay."

"As for why you still remember this, I'm still looking into the reason."

Luo Shiqin raised her hand and subconsciously stroked the eye on her neck that was marked by lightning, which was invisible to others.

The reason...as expected, this is it.

Why is that?

Luo Shiqin carefully recalled all the meetings and conversations with her pen pals, and finally locked on a clue.

[…If you need my help, I’ll be there as soon as possible! ]

Is it because of this sentence?

She was a little unsure.

Putting this clue aside as an option for the time being, Luo Shiqin focused his attention on the small mechanical ball in his palm.

Regardless of how GT came to reality from the book of life-changing events in "The Age of Intelligence", there were precedents for this.

For example, in his best friend Xu Wenwen's book about a strange life, "Lucky Fool", Wang Mumu also escaped from the NPC of Misty Town to reality and became a new student in Wenwen's class.

However, Wang Mumu had a record of living in human society before transferring to another school, so Luo Shiqin guessed that he might have had a record in the real society before and was a real person. Only after the reality was corrected could he and Xu Wenwen become teacher and student again.

Is it the same situation for GT and Wang Mumu?

In reality, has anyone really developed artificial intelligence like GT?

Luo Shiqin poked it again.

The sleeping little mechanical ball did not respond at all. Compared to the vivid and reliable appearance in Luo Shiqin's memory, the current GT seemed like a peripheral without real power.

Maybe it really is just a model peripheral?

"hiss……"

Mei Huayue watched her poke for a long time, pursed her lips and thought, then suggested: "Do you need to turn it on?"

Luo Shiqin: "Turn it on? I don't know how to turn it on?"

The two looked at each other.

Mei Huayue asked tentatively: "Is it the power-on password? I remember that's how Magic Phone was played...like Open Sesame?"

Luo Shiqin: "This command is totally illogical. Refute it."

"It's really illogical that the GT can be sent to me, right?" the pen pal complained, "What should I do? How about charging it?"

Luo Shiqin: “…Good idea.”

Mei Huayue: “Ah?”
