Some relationships, if the connection is wrong, are simply a missed opportunity.
Linghu Lan smiled and said, "You're welcome. Thank you for defending me and Bai Yu in that world, and thank you for not looking at us with prejudice."
The call ended.
Chu Xing composed himself, relieved, and smiled as he nodded at the expectant girl.
The girl was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
Upon waking, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so happy?"
The girl blushed and laughed, "I know you might not believe me, but after I put up the talisman, what I saw was you!"
Chu Xing: "..."
...
After hanging up the phone with Chu Xing, Linghu Lan returned to the hearing venue.
This is a hearing to decide where the virtual world, where we are all two-dimensional beings, should go from here.
In addition to the heads of various departments and various public welfare organizations, some victims were also selected from those who entered the virtual world to participate in the hearing.
Linghu Lan, as the first person with independent consciousness in the virtual world, is one of the main witnesses.
The investigation into the Paper Doll incident dragged on for more than two years, during which time the workload was enormous: searching for the dead and the living. As an important piece of evidence, the Paper Doll virtual world had to continue operating.
However, the expenses incurred were too much for all departments to bear. Although some funding was applied for, the investigation took too long and the funds were long gone. The department mainly relied on support from other departments.
The trial was finally over, and I thought the virtual world could be shut down.
Unexpectedly, an opposing force emerged.
This opposing force argues that these people have had their souls ripped out and are imprisoned in a virtual world. In a sense, they are still alive as part of humanity, only lacking a physical body to carry their souls. Stopping the game now would be tantamount to murder.
This idea was first proposed by a non-profit organization and quickly gained widespread acceptance. Various academic circles launched discussions on it in various forms, and its influence grew. In the end, the decision-makers were hesitant to make the decision to shut down the system, which led to this hearing.
At the hearing, Linghu Lan became proof that people in the virtual world are still part of humanity, because she awakened her own consciousness and took the initiative to escape.
The case was finally solved thanks to her and Bai Yu's contributions. To shut down souls like hers in the virtual world would be an act of ingratitude and revenge.
Another issue that supporters are considering is: what if those souls could also awaken self-awareness?
Linghu Lan knew, of course, that the others could not awaken their own consciousness; she was special, and so was Bai Yu.
Their situation was impossible for anyone else to replicate, but she didn't say these words aloud.
Because she didn't want to close that virtual world; she had met over a hundred girls there, and those flower-like girls had actually appeared in her life.
Would she really let those girls die?
cannot!
Therefore, while everyone was arguing and making a ruckus, Linghu Lan looked around and calmly spoke.
"I'll take over this!"
Her voice was so soft that only those around her could hear it, and they all stared at her in astonishment.
The people in the distance continued arguing.
