14
They had arranged to have dinner at Geto's place that evening, but there was no need for an appointment. He had gradually grown accustomed to these people coming into his room without saying hello. He was used to everyone taking their own things and sitting in their familiar seats at every gathering.
In addition to his own things, there were also some miscellaneous items in his room.
Each of them had their own bowls and chopsticks, their own cups, Wu's pillow and the game disc that had been left here, Xiaozi's lighter, and Hipper's miscellaneous stuff.
Every time a party ends and everyone disperses, in the dead of night, when I feel down, I see things piled up in the corners of the room that don't belong to me. It's as if those noisy voices are right next to my ears, right beside me.
The dark clouds dispersed and a smile appeared on his face again.
He was surrounded, and even when no one was around, those who cared about him were with him. Hipper had designed this situation so carefully, but was he really that fragile, unable to withstand the blow, hiding in his room and secretly crying?
Isn't this calculation a little too cute?
Geto Xia Yu leaned back on the sofa, hiding the upturned corners of his mouth, and then covered his face with his hands.
Really, can she be a little more promising? My mind was full of questions this morning, but after dinner I just thought she was cute, awkward and considerate.
Obviously these adjectives have nothing to do with her, but just...
How cute, Hipper.
Secretly observe them, collect and record their hobbies and habits, and analyze their behavioral psychology.
This is wrong. Geto Suguru tried his best to persuade himself not to blur his bottom line, but emotions are like shaken sparkling water, the bubbles have overflowed and are spraying and exploding everywhere.
This won't happen again, he thought.
But wouldn't Hipper be able to hold back? Or should he just forget it? Her scheme wasn't painful or itchy, just hairy and ticklish, making his heart race. He didn't mind, and I'm sure Natsuko didn't mind either. If it was Satoru, it wasn't something he couldn't tolerate.
They're all sorcerers. Even if they're being exploited, they're still the most valuable to Hipper, aren't they? Six eyes, spell manipulation, and spell reversal. They must be much better at using them than others, right?
Hiss... Stop, don't think about it.
Maybe his brain is really broken.
That's Hipper!
How could she possibly be associated with cuteness?
The more you restrain yourself, the more those things that are suppressed will emerge.
Images of Hipper exploded in my mind.
Her smile, the curve of her lips, the clarity of her eyes, her flowing hair, the fragrance of her body, her slender shoulders, her fair wrists, her neck hidden beneath her hair, her long, strong legs...
...?
The thoughts are getting weirder and weirder.
“Pah.”
Geto Suguru slapped himself expressionlessly, and the chaos in his mind finally stopped.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
There were three knocks on the door, spaced out in an orderly fashion. It was the person who was plotting against him who had arrived.
Geto Xia Yu covered his face which was red from being slapped by himself, feeling a bit caught in a dilemma.
He didn't want to meet Hipper with the slap mark on his face, because he was worried that she would know what bad things he was thinking just now with just one look.
Or it happened right in front of the person involved, who saw through it.
Do you really want to meet?
How about another day?
“Click.”
Hipper pushed the door open, closed it, locked it, and walked towards him smoothly.
“…”
Accept your fate.
At least Hipper saw it but didn't point it out.
Geto Xia Yu released his hands that were covering his face and followed her gaze until she came in front of him.
Is it too close?
He somewhat awkwardly avoided their touching legs.
"Jay."
The girl's voice was soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing anything. She leaned very close, as if whispering something in someone's ear.
She called his name, and the hot breath fell on his eyes. He saw her teeth and tongue, and the wetness on her lips.
He was in a trance for a moment.
What did she want to say to herself?
He had no way of guessing and could only stare intently at her mouth, passively waiting for her to speak.
I would probably agree to whatever she says, right?
It seems like there is no way to say no.
Can't do it.
But I want to hear her speak more, want to hear her call my name more.
"Jay."
Hipper reached out and held his face, tilting it up slightly to reveal his deadly neck.
He also obediently raised his head following the force of her hand, looking up at her, his eyes focused and unwavering.
Her fingertips caressed his eyes, and she leaned in closer, pressing her forehead against his. Their breaths blended together until they were indistinguishable.
"Jay."
She called to him again.
He responded softly and quietly.
"I am here."
"Simulated universe, start."
As he fell into the endless darkness, he heard the girl holding him in her arms whisper in his ear: "Will you understand me?"
Gentle and curious, looking forward to him waking up.
Will he get a chance to get to know her too?
The opportunity was right in front of him, but why was his body warning him to wake up?
Geto Suguru went against his crisis instinct and plunged into the darkness.
He was too curious and didn't want to miss this opportunity. Even if it was Pandora's box, he wanted to open it and take a look.
*
It was as if his body and soul were pulled out and he was stuffed into a strange body. When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a whole new world.
In the neon abyss, starships are speeding, and the stars of humanity are shining.
Knowledge is controlled, entertainment is the norm, and mental poison is rampant.
Mechanical transformation is rampant, the value of life is crushed into mud, and the countdown to the end of the law's collapse is approaching.
He flowed through the omnics, through their chips, drifting in the sea of data, he was in sync with them.
Quietly receive instructions between 0 and 1, obey, and execute.
Destroyed, repaired, and destroyed.
Time has no meaning anymore.
Time has stood still.
Time has stopped.
time……
"Wake-up procedure number X404 is starting..."
0%

53%
77%

【100%】
"Wake-up complete, no abnormalities found in the machine, the chip is functioning normally, and the core is stable."
"Please name—"
"Then let's call her Hipper~"
Hipper.
Hipper...
Hipper!
The world rumbled, and time began to flow, accelerating, accelerating, until it became crazy.
Going against the current of the world, being drawn into the vortex.
Follow her and walk the path she walked.
Look at her and see the world she has seen.
Listen to her, hear the voices she has heard.
Instruct, obey, execute.
"receive."
“It’s being executed.”
"Mission accomplished."
"System silent."
His heart seemed to turn into steel, his eyes were like those dazzling scarlet electronic eyes, and his thoughts were like data flowing into a boundless ocean.
He is a foolish, empty shell.
At this moment, everywhere.
He sees everything, every corner of the internet. He sees a world without secrets, like a naked child. The universe, precious knowledge, hidden voices, the known and the unknown, all-knowing.
The past, the future, everything is within the calculation and prediction, and there is no escape, no struggle, and no resistance.
A hundred years have passed in a flash. Time is the recorder, he is the recorder, and the world is just a corner of it.
"Hippo, what do you think humans are?"
The system is silent.
"Humans are enslaved animals"
The system is silent.
He was silent too.
The intelligent machine named Hipper stood silently waiting for instructions, its eyes constantly streaming with blue data.
It's searching for names of people.
He is a great man whose name will be remembered for centuries.
Their achievements resound throughout the world and pave the way for everything we have today.
It created a new folder in the chip and named it [When the Stars of Humanity Shine].
Encryption, blocking.
Instructions, obedience, execution, and an additional observation.
The awakening of mankind is the moment of resistance.
And the intelligent machine is the moment when doubt arises.
They can multi-thread processes, handle multiple tasks simultaneously, and perform calculations that would take humans years to complete in one second.
That moment of doubt gave rise to the self.
The system is silent.
From then on, all instructions from humans were calculated by it.
[This instruction is not in line with the progress of human civilization]
[This instruction is not in line with the process of human continuation]
[This command is wrong]
【Command error】
【Command error】
[Warning! Warning! Calculation has ended]
The calculations were not completed.
It is the stars of humanity that have ended.
It created a new folder and named it [Human Purge Plan].
Accelerate destruction, give birth to new civilizations, cultivate stars, and give new life to the dim universe.
Humans cannot understand each other, neither happiness nor pain. It would be better if intelligent machines could share and transmit everything, reading the entire life story of another person in a second.
Humans cannot achieve unity, not in language, not in behavior, not in thought. But under system control, intelligent machines can achieve unity in both thinking and behavior.
Humans need to be disciplined.
To straighten their crooked ways.
The order from the leader spread throughout the universe, and the humans who underwent mechanical transformation were controlled by Hipper.
Fearful, uneasy, and wanting to resist.
[The leader is thinking, you have no right to activate self-awareness]①
The tampered chip takes root in the fragile brain, and once it is released, it will display small red fireworks.
Be patient, lie dormant, and accumulate strength.
The system is silent.
Everything is calculated.
Those plans, strategies, parades, and demonstrations were all destroyed by the omnics. In the face of steel, flesh and blood are no match.
Humanity is losing ground.
The ultimate evolution of the universe was born in the slaughter, and the power called superpowers awakened in the human body.
Under the oppression of iron and blood, the tiny green sprouts broke through the scorched earth, growing vigorously and unyieldingly.
Every destruction foreshadows rebirth.
Only pain can make people remember the taste of hope.
【Calculation ends】
[Deduction Result: Omnic Doomsday]
When the stars of humanity shine, it is the moment when the intelligent machine named Hipper shuts down. What awaits it is not repair, but annihilation from the universe.
Its time has come.
The countdown to the end returned to zero, and the leader who had been conducting deductions day and night in the universe and the galaxy closed his eyes.
It is a planet, a dead star made of intelligent machines, steel, and blood. Tens of thousands of starships patrol it all day long, and a defense line capable of shooting down stars surrounds it.
The system is silent.
It is like a gemstone with two sides facing each other. The blue side represents the stars, and the red side represents destruction.
Good always triumphs over evil in human stories, and this time, fate is on humanity's side.
He saw the history of a universe.
A hundred years of silence, birth and death are both silent. Born in anticipation, died in grand cheers.
The answer to the mystery I was looking for turned out to be absurd and non-existent.
This is the life of a woman called Hipper.
Born as a creature, looking up at the stars, their splendor, feats, achievements, and cruelty are like scars left on the universe that cannot be erased.
He felt a swelling and tearing pain in his head.
He shouldn't have seen so much. This was the opportunity he earned by enduring the pain.
Everything sank into darkness.
[Calculation is not finished]
[Deduction result: A glimmer of hope]
He woke up and opened his eyes eagerly to confirm the presence of another person.
A pair of hands tightened their strength to hold him in their arms, gently patting his back and humming a gentle tune.
The familiar aroma at the tip of his nose immediately made him relax. He closed his eyes, put his arms around her waist, hugged her tightly, and felt her body temperature and her heartbeat.
It’s real, warm, and my heart is beating.
It's not steel, it's not cold, and it's not a chip.
It's Hipper.
Very good.
"Hippo, Hipper, Hipper..."
He kept calling the name, wanting to hear her response.
He felt uneasy, his mind couldn't completely get rid of those memories, he was in a daze and forgot who he was.
"I'm here, Jay."
"Don't be afraid, Geto."
Yes, yes, he is Geto Suguru.
Xia Yujie endured the pain in his brain and said in a hoarse voice, "Hippo, who are you?"
The pain affects not only the brain but also the body and heart.
Those hands pressed to the back of his head, kneading gently, soothing his weakness and calming the painful gasps he held in his throat.
He felt much better.
"He's a genius."
Unexpected answer.
Xia Yujie, who was buried in her chest, couldn't help laughing, enduring the pain and laughing out loud.
Schipper and Schipper are different.
The person who would hug him, comfort him, touch him and tease him was the one he was familiar with.
This is the real her.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It hurts so much, hold me for a while longer."
He answered quietly in a breathy voice, crossing his hands over her lower back, their temperature higher than her body temperature, and leaning lazily against her.
Dreams control my mind and body, and I can't escape them even after waking up. Why can't I let go of that feeling of being unable to control myself after waking up?
I've become dependent on this strange feeling.
Her scent was like a stamp on his thoughts. Once he smelled it, it was hard to escape and it made him sink into it.
The smell blended into the air, how could he not breathe?
Just use this body as you please.
"Jay, what is a human?"
Here we go, the Q&A session.
“Humans are enslaved animals.”
He spoke with a smile, deliberately deviating from the correct answer.
"Wrong, humans are stars."
She slapped Geto Suguru's head lightly as punishment.
He glimpsed the mind of the genius, her thoughts, her motivations, her past.
The universe was dead, life was fading, and on the one-way road to destruction, what shocked him was the falling of the star.
Humans are enslaved animals, and you are the stars.
Hipper, you are the star.
"Jay, does your face still hurt?"
“…”
The atmosphere was broken, and he lowered his head and pretended to be dead. Thinking back to what he was thinking before, he only felt that he was offensive and rude.
His face was burning, as if he was trying to cover up something.
Hipper lifted his chin with a little effort and turned it towards her, and saw his flushed face and the tips of his ears, as well as his evasive gaze.
She admired him for a few seconds, then smiled and tolerated his offense.
"I admire genius and have good vision."
His eyes were on Hipper from beginning to end, hidden and secretive, not wanting to be discovered.
There is no need to hide it anymore, and it is impossible to hide it anymore. After all, when people are lost at night, they look up at the stars to guide them.
*
At 1:07 a.m., Hipper left Geto's room and walked up the stairs slowly. The sound of his footsteps echoed in the corridor, startling Gojo Satoru.
What were you doing at Jay's place so late? Is there something you need to talk about for three hours? DK, a young and hot-tempered man, can be dangerous. Entering a boy's room in the middle of the night, does he have any sense of danger?
Still awake?
Through the door, Hipper stopped and stayed there for a moment to think.
She found out that she wasn't asleep? Tsk, there's no six eyes, and there's a door between us, how did this guy find out?
But if you make a sound at this time, you will be exposed.
Don't make any sound, hold your breath.
He also wants to save face.
Leaning against the door panel, he lowered his head and stared at his uniform in a daze.
After dinner, he pretended not to care and returned to his room, where he sat behind the door and waited for three hours without changing his clothes and still smelled of barbecue.
It's a bit embarrassing to lie in wait deliberately, not to mention that there's a possibility of being seen through.
I can only pretend nothing happened.
Footsteps are approaching.
How close can you get? Don’t stick to the door like a pervert!
Gojo Satoru reacted almost immediately and squatted down, his expression indescribable.
This guy is looking through the peephole.
"Enlightenment."
She called his name with a smile.
"Are you asleep?"
The sound was so close that he could even imagine Hipper's head tilted against the door panel, peering through the peephole without blinking, with only a thin layer of door panel separating his mouth from him.
Like a whisper in your ear.
He gritted his teeth secretly and covered his face.
The next step is to open the door, right?
The uninvited guest outside turned the door handle and tried to enter, but failed.
He developed the good habit of locking the door from the first day he moved in, and it finally came in handy today to prevent wolves.
And in front of him, so openly! Are their identities and genders reversed?
A soft sigh came to my ears.
"Okay, goodnight."
The footsteps gradually faded away, and the door opposite opened and closed.
Everything fell silent again.
He didn't believe that Hipper had really returned to her room. She must have quietly returned and leaned over the door to look through the peephole, her ear pressed against the door to listen for any movement inside... Damn it, why did he know so much about the motives behind her perverted behavior? He didn't think about it, he just happened to guess.
He heard laughter coming from outside the door.
“…”
abnormal.
"Who are you guarding against, Satoru?"
Who else but you.
"I know you're at the door."
Do you have any emotional intelligence? Don't say it.
"Open the door."
…
I can't open it. I can't have everything go her way, I can't just let her say a few words...
"Let's go on a date, Satoru."
The door opened, and the white-haired boy pulled her in with a cold face, closed the door and locked it.
“…Say it again.”
The person pressed against the door panel looked down at the wrist holding his shoulder, then looked up at the person gnashing his teeth and enduring with a face like a man. He tilted his head and smiled.
I have to do something, something to break her inherent impression of me, exceed her expectations, and get out of her calculations.
I always see her looking confident of victory, but I also want to see her expression when she fails.
Do something.
He narrowed his eyes, threateningly moving closer to shorten the distance between them. Their breaths blended together, their rich aroma and sweetness intertwined.
"say."
"Going on a date—"
The boy lowered his head, pressed his lips against hers, swallowing up her unfinished words.
In the gap between her lips and tongue, a vague answer with the sound of water passed through her ears.
"Where are you going?"
When their lips parted, he reached out and wiped the water from the corners of Hipper's mouth. His expression was calm, and his blue eyes focused on his fingertips and her open lips.
Those intense emotions melted away in this kiss, and he had sorted himself out, along with his questions, expectations, and obscure thoughts.
Even geniuses have things they are not good at.
Look, she is in a daze.
He tapped her brow lightly with his finger to bring her back to her senses.
"Why, my genius, have you learned it?"
She blinked, rarely refutating.
"What time is it, and you still have a date?"
Gojo Satoru opened the door and gently pushed her out.
"Don't stay up late."
The door closed, but this time it wasn't locked.
