"I'm curious, what happened to you in his mental world that almost got you caught up in it?"
Su Yu, holding the helmet he had just removed from Xia Linyin's head, said, "If we hadn't noticed Xia Linyin's abnormality in time and removed the helmet to force her offline, there would probably be another person who would never wake up."
Moreover, her situation is different from Xiao Li's. Xiao Li's brain data is so active that even the system can't keep up, while Xia Linyin just now—
"The computer monitoring your body's data shows that your brain activity dropped sharply just now. If you hadn't exited in time, you would be brain dead by now."
Despite saying that, Su Yu's eyes were full of interest, as if he had discovered something worth studying.
Xia Linyin rubbed her temples. She had just emerged from Xiao Li's mental world, and her head was still a little dizzy. Su Yu waited beside her without urging her, knowing that Xia Linyin had not yet recovered.
After her discomfort subsided, Xia Linyin said, "He wants to keep me in his mental world."
With just this one sentence, Su Yu's baby face changed color. His brain worked at high speed, and suddenly, Su Yu's piercing gaze fell on Xiao Li floating in the nutrient tank. "Could it be that he wants to break away from his physical form and become an existence like the central system!"
It must be said that Su Yu's IQ is indeed very high. He was able to deduce the meaning behind Xia Linyin's words and know Xiao Li's thoughts just from Xia Linyin's words.
Su Yu's expression changed several times after receiving this news.
Few things have shocked him like this, but this is one of them.
That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!
This is terrifying. With the advancement of technology, every human action is inseparable from the quantum computer. Information such as family members, life experiences, and various physical data are stored in personal systems.
The only circulating currency—Federal Coin—can only exist within the personal system, and everyone's eating, drinking, defecating, sleeping, and traveling are all linked to the personal system.
The personal system is controlled by the central system. In other words, everyone is transparent under the central system, which knows everything about you, including your height, weight, blood type, genes, interpersonal relationships, etc.
However, the central system is "dead"; it has no independent consciousness and merely helps humans manage various information in the form of data, making human life more convenient, just like a loyal butler.
But what if one day, the central system "comes alive" and develops its own independent consciousness?
Therefore, a system that controls every move of human beings is undoubtedly a god-like existence to human beings.
Such a thing would have been absolutely impossible in the past; the central system could not possibly have self-awareness. But now—
Looking at Xiao Li in the nutrient pod, Su Yu couldn't help but think of the time when Xiao Li broke free from the game's control, destroyed the entire game world, and turned around to control all the world's quantum computers, even the central quantum computer.
What kind of monster did the "Project X" game cultivate?!
This must never be allowed to happen!
A sharp glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes, but he wasn't foolish enough to suggest killing Xiao Li. For Xiao Li now, death would be better than life.
Doing so will only lead to things getting worse, completely stripping Xiao Li of her physical form.
We must get Xia Linyin to wake up Xiao Li. The only person in the world who can control Xiao Li is Xia Linyin.
If Su Yu had previously devoted 99% of his energy to waking up Xiao Li, now it's 100%.
Su Yu activated the miniature quantum computer on his wrist. "Xia Linyin, tell me everything about your experiences in Xiao Li's spiritual world, in as much detail as possible."
While Su Yu was thinking, Xia Linyin was also thinking. She touched the spot on her chest, where the feeling of the scalpel still seemed to linger. It didn't hurt, it really didn't hurt at all, but it felt cold.
Rather than remaining in Xiao Li's mental world, she still hopes to live with Xiao Li in the real world, with flesh and blood, and have another baby with him and her, or two.
Then they watch the baby grow up, and then they become grandparents.
Holding hands and growing old together, they held each other's hands tightly and slowly grew old together.
Just thinking about it makes me feel at ease, wonderful, and happy.
Upon hearing Su Yu's question, Xia Linyin suppressed the smile that had unconsciously crept onto her lips and recounted in detail what had just happened to Su Yu, explaining that she needed his help.
While listening to Xia Linyin's narration, Su Yu quickly took notes on his personal terminal. After finishing, he looked at the notes on the terminal, stroked his chin, and said, "You were asked to pretend to be a zombie?"
"Yes, there are tasks like pretending to be a zombie, distributing medicine to patients, and if you make a mistake, you have to copy Xiao Li. There are all sorts of strange tasks."
Speaking of this, Xia Linyin recalled the unbearable experience of pretending to be a zombie, and how she was accidentally electrocuted.
After pondering for a while, Su Yu said, "As I said, no one knows what will happen in his mental world. The tasks issued by the system are also beyond our control. Perhaps it's because of his previous experience as an NPC that his mental world is incredibly rich, so anything can happen."
“Next time you enter, I will add a macro-control, which can be like those games on the market, to select the type and guide Xiaoli’s mental world in that direction. This will also prevent you from encountering any more dangerous things.”
"But now, you have to go in again, even though you almost 'died' in there just now."
Su Yu handed the helmet to Xia Linyin. In a short time, he had digested Xia Linyin's experience in Xiao Li's mental world and had a clear idea of how to awaken Xiao Li.
"His mental world is vast, divided into many smaller worlds. Each time you enter, you need to find Xiao Li, who has lost his memory, and help him regain his memories through continuous contact."
"As this process unfolds, he will gradually awaken in the nutrient pod."
Xia Linyin took the helmet. "Then how many little worlds would be in his brain? If there are tens of millions—"
Xia Linyin couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.
When will she be able to wait for Xiao Li to wake up?
Su Yu comforted her, "You don't necessarily have to interact with every world. It's possible that you've only entered a few worlds, and his memories have fully returned, like a chain reaction."
Glancing at the surveillance data and Xiao Li's helmet, which was practically smoking, Su Yu said, "Let's not talk about that anymore. You need to quickly enter his mental world again. Maybe because you just left so suddenly, his mental world has exploded. You have to—"
"Yes, try to comfort him."
Hearing that Xiao Li's mental world had collapsed because of her departure, Xia Linyin suddenly felt the helmet in her hand become very heavy.
Exploded? How badly was it blown up? If she went in now, wouldn't she be blown to bits?
But she couldn't worry about that now; she had to appease him, even if he was in a fit of rage. Xia Linyin quickly put on her helmet and entered Xiao Li's mental world again.
