Chapter 34 Chapter 34 His world.
34
Inside the bachelor apartment, a sudden flash of white light appeared.
Li Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes, facing the dazzling light, and looked at the figure emerging from the light.
“Ding!”
Suddenly, the computer reported an error message, and the figure in the white light did not gradually reveal itself. Instead, it froze in mid-air as if a pause button had been pressed.
A white prompt box appeared in the void. The style and text displayed in the prompt box were exactly the same as those on computers in the 2000s.
?
Li Xiaoqi looked puzzled. "What the hell is this?"
She took a step back in surprise and looked up at the text in the prompt box.
[You have a partner waiting to be checked, do you want to receive it? Yes/Check]
Isn't this the only option?
Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, and he raised his hand and clicked the button below as if possessed by a ghost.
“Ding!”
The computer error message sounded again.
[Your partner is being generated, please wait six minutes.]
A countdown appeared in the prompt box. Li Xiaoqi looked at the time gradually decreasing and tilted his head in confusion.
???
She frowned, sat cross-legged on the sofa and thought for a long time, then closed her eyes and recalled everything that had happened.
Going to work and coming home from get off work as usual, eating, playing games, and watching TV shows...it seems like there's nothing special about it.
If there is anything special, it is only this prompt box in front of you.
By the way, if this were real, would there be this prompt box?
And why did she just call "Mr. Dazai"?
Li Xiaoqi realized it later and said, "Am I dreaming?"
In an instant, the ground shook and cracks appeared in the walls.
Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide, and many memories flooded into his mind.
"I remember now!"
All the scenes just now are all my previous memories.
After the snail noodle takeaway was delivered, she inexplicably appeared on the streets of Yokohama in another world. Not only was she possessed by the system, but she was also found by Dazai Osamu.
Life at Jujutsu High School, meeting Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, the ridiculous live broadcast mission...all the forgotten things came to mind.
Li Xiaoqi subconsciously covered his chest where he had been shot.
She should have fainted, and so did Dazai Osamu and the others!
At this moment, the space was completely torn apart, and the sofa under him suddenly disappeared, leaving only a bottomless black hole.
Li Xiaoqi screamed and his body fell uncontrollably.
*
In a dark space, whether he opened his eyes or closed them, Dazai Osamu would sit at his desk for a long time every day.
There is a chess set on the table, and the exquisite table lamp in the corner turns on the dim light, vaguely illuminating a corner of the chessboard.
The red high-grade cashmere carpet was stepped on by black leather shoes, and the dim light shone on the back, making the figure look thin.
Dazai Osamu's mind is full of meticulous plans. In order to ensure that the ultimate goal is foolproof, what he must do every day is to go over the details of each link in his mind.
For him, this was just a simple habitual action.
He curled his lips slightly, picked up the queen's chess piece and took a step forward.
Along with the sound of chess pieces falling, an internal message from the Mafia was also heard on the phone.
The mafia building was attacked by assassins and has been punished by the "White Death".
Dazai Osamu lowered his eyelids, and fatigue gradually climbed up his cheeks.
Insomnia.
Another sleepless night.
He stretched out his hand, looked at his hand infected by darkness, and slowly closed his eyes.
"It's almost there... I'll be able to go... wherever I want to go soon."
Dazai Osamu whispered softly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, and a look of doubt flashed across his eyes.
"Hmm? Because it's like this every night so it feels familiar?"
Dazai Osamu raised his hand and stroked his chin, lost in thought.
"bite!"
The computer beeps.
Dazai Osamu had never set such a crisp, ring-like notification tone on his computer. He looked over and found that there was an extra software on the desktop.
"oh?"
Dazai Osamu was interested in the fact that someone was able to hack into his computer.
The software icon is a cartoon image of a girl with white hair and black eyes, and the name of the software is "Genshin Impact".
It looks like a game.
Dazai Osamu sat up and opened the software, wanting to see how it could steal information.
He played for a while according to the game prompts, but didn't find any unusual code programs, as if this was a role-playing adventure game.
Dazai Osamu analyzed the hidden code of the software and found nothing abnormal. He then investigated the game on the Internet and found that it did not exist in the software market of any country, nor in the underground trading market.
He thought for a while and suddenly chuckled.
Whether it was the memories of his own world or the memories of other parallel worlds, Dazai Osamu confirmed one thing: this game only existed in his computer at this moment.
This game doesn't exist in other worlds.
It's more like something from outer space.
In this way, Dazai Osamu played this game with a little exploration and to pass the long night when he couldn't sleep peacefully.
It wasn't until level 16 that the game enabled online functionality.
Dazai Osamu looked at the invitation of others to join the world, raised his eyebrows slightly, and clicked to agree.
The player who came in was a player named "Xiao Qi", and the character he used was Wendy from the story.
Xiao Qi enthusiastically helped him solve the monster on the roadside, and then asked him if he needed help.
Need help?
Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips and created a kind and friendly image for himself.
The open world online function of this game only appeared this time. He did not wait for other people's applications, so he could only add Xiaoqi back to ask for the information he wanted.
Judging from the other party's answer, Xiao Qi is a woman from China, and -
Both this game and Xiao Qi who is online with him come from another world, which seems to be a world of higher dimension.
"Bunno", "Dazai Osamu", "Nakahara Chuuya"... these words were mentioned casually, as if they were the same tone as when commenting on the characters in the book.
Dazai Osamu laughed twice, and his guess was confirmed.
And this special game unknowingly became his tool to pass the time at night.
His personality seemed to be too successful. The other party thought he was a woman and sometimes told him about some daily trivialities and work complaints.
Dazai Osamu would deliberately talk about the topic of "Bunno" comics, and then he would be satisfied to learn the so-called plot from Xiaoqi, which was no different from the memories he had obtained.
He even knew that his plan would eventually succeed and he would be able to die as he wished in the future.
The moment he learned about it, for a split second, he seemed to have found the end of that empty wasteland.
But at the same time, Dazai Osamu was a little surprised.
He lowered his eyelids, gradually curled up the corners of his lips, and revealed a gentle smile.
The game continued, and this situation lasted for three months, and his game level was stuck at the last bit of experience at level 59.
On a stormy night, the wind was howling and there were lightning and thunder.
All the noise of nature was isolated outside the solid glass, and this spacious office was still shrouded in darkness, with only the faint light from the computer screen.
Normally, he would probably sit in a chair, looking out the dark window, imagining what a wonderful scene it would be outside.
Or he would stand up, flip through a book whose ending he could see at a glance, and then throw it away out of boredom.
Or he would lie in bed and imagine how he would die if an intruder came here.
If this were in another parallel world, in that bar, he would definitely have a lot to say, and loyal listeners who wouldn't complain.
But he couldn't open this window, no matter how much he wanted to bathe in the storm.
Countless long nights, silent and lonely, almost made him breathless.
But strangely, since the emergence of this game, such suffocating nights seem to have become shorter.
An encrypted message popped up on the computer. Dazai glanced at it and several strings of code instantly converted into information in his mind.
——Ryunosuke Akutagawa joined the Armed Detective Agency.
“It’s almost time to move on to the next stage.”
The words he said were as light as cotton falling to the ground.
The keyboard tapped softly, and the green mountains and clear waters were reflected in the dark pupils.
In the game, in the teahouse of Chenyu Valley, Dazai Osamu moved his slender white fingers and controlled the game character to run to Xiaoqi.
[Defeat one more boss and you'll reach max level! Do you want to record a commemorative video? ]
The other party sent a message excitedly.
[Yes, that's fine.]
Dazai Osamu lightly twisted his fingertips and quickly recovered.
He and Xiao Qi came to the territory of the explosive tree and knocked the tree down.
【Quick, get ready, and start rewarding! 】
If I record it, will it be a keepsake? Maybe the game will disappear the next day, leaving no trace.
Dazai Osamu typed these words.
He stared at the dialog box, knowing clearly in his heart that this did not match his "personality" in Xiaoqi's eyes.
[Yes, at least here, you are always here.]
A few seconds later, Xiao Qi replied.
Dazai Osamu pursed his lips and then accepted the reward for defeating the Exploding Flame Tree.
A prompt "Adventure Level 60" appeared at the top of the screen, and a system email popped up.
Dazai Osamu opened the email, but unexpectedly the game interface changed and jumped back to the login interface.
In the picture, the Sky Island is bathed in morning light, stairs are erected one by one, and a door appears out of thin air, waiting for the traveler to open it.
[Congratulations to the player for reaching the maximum level! The journey in Teyvat has ended, please start a new journey! ]
Dazai Osamu looked at the word "Confirm" and clicked the mouse.
The door opened and a white light appeared out of nowhere.
Dazai Osamu opened his eyes wide, and his body floated up involuntarily, and he was sucked into the screen.
"Sure enough, such a scene has happened somewhere."
His whispers died into the air.
Is this something that happened in a parallel world?
That won't do. He can't leave that world yet.
Once, when he received the memories of a parallel world, his memories were confused. By the time he sorted them out, his brain had automatically blocked out some irrelevant memories.
Something is wrong.
If this really happened in a parallel world, there is no reason why such an abnormal scene would be cleaned up like garbage.
This is a dream.
When Dazai Osamu came up with this idea, he appeared on a beach.
The sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, and thunderclouds were rolling on the sea level in the distance.
The sea breeze was so strong that it almost blew people away, but Dazai Osamu was able to stand steadily on the beach.
He put his hands in the pockets of his black coat, took a step forward, and walked towards the thundercloud.
The sea water flooded over the leather boots, the black coat fluttered, and the red scarf was lifted high in the wind.
The whole world seemed to be at its end. There was not a ray of sunshine or blue sky to be seen.
Dazai Osamu looked straight ahead with no expression on his face.
He knew that this was no longer a dream, but a place in his heart.
A series of footprints, deep and shallow, were left on the beach.
The sea water submerged his ankles. He opened his arms, closed his eyes and felt the overwhelming sea breeze.
Thunder roared, dark clouds pressed down, and the wind howled.
The sea surface, which was pitch black under the dim sky, was still calm, and the waves were rising slowly.
"What will happen if it sinks?"
Dazai Osamu murmured.
