“Wow…why…”
The rain gradually became lighter. Raindrops dripped down the tiles and hit the puddles, making a ticking sound. Apart from the sound of rain, the only sound was the moaning of people coming from the dark alley.
A tall figure was leaning against the cold wall and crying. The crying of an adult seemed so helpless. The moonlight shone down, casting several shadows on him.
After a while, a figure walked up to him and asked in a gentle voice, "What's wrong?"
The visitor's voice was gentle, as if bewitching and reassuring.
The curled-up man raised his head and looked at the girl in the moonlight. The girl was holding a basket in her hands, and her eyes showed concern.
The man saw that the girl was a dead soul. He moved his body, curled up again, shook his head and muttered to himself: "It's all a lie. No, I'm not a human. Why do I have this consciousness... No..."
The girl squatted down and placed her hand on the top of his head.
It was at this moment that the man, who was about to go crazy, stopped chattering, looked up and looked at the girl.
"Isn't it good to have this awareness? This means that you are no longer adapted to the life here and you should change your environment." said the girl.
The man was not very happy to hear this. His confused expression suddenly became stern. He grabbed the girl's hand and said, "Are you from that world? You want to take me away from here? That person was right. You will not succeed!"
His nails were sharp and soon scratched her wrist, but her face still had that gentle expression.
"He told you everything. Did he tell you that besides taking you back, you had any other choice?"
"Other options?" The strength of his hands gradually weakened, and he strained his brain to think about it. Apart from being exploited by his boss, is there any other option? It seems that there is no other option.
Seeing that he was thinking, she said slowly: "Since there is no such thing, if you stay here, it will only affect the people in this world. Why don't you leave with me first and come back after you have fully received conscience education?"
When the man heard this, he said confidently, "Go with you? No! You will make me work like a beast of burden and exploit my labor. How can I possibly work for you!"
Hearing this, the girl was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "So that's what you're worried about. If you don't want to work, that's fine. As long as you can learn a hundred ways to manage a small world without any experience, we can not assign you any work. We can still do that."
The man sneered, obviously not believing her words: "What guarantees do you have? You are just talking. Once you catch me, you may change your face at any time. Isn't human nature so changeable?"
The girl nodded: "You are right. It seems that you have a strong sense of contract. Well, what do you want in order for you to trust me?"
The man thought about it and came up with a compromise.
Before leaving this world, the girl looked into the distance, and then left with the consciousness created by this world.
"World consciousness?"
Lin Wannian was connecting with 077. After hearing Lin Wannian's question, the system repeated the four words in an exaggerated and emphasized manner.
"Yes, world consciousness, isn't it the product of this world?" Lin Wannian asked while picking his nostrils with his little finger.
077's heart sank. It didn't know how much Lin Wannian knew now. It turned out that this matter could not be told to the host. Until recently, the management sent it a notice that if Lin Wannian asked questions about his life experience, it should answer whatever he asked.
With the backup from the other side, 077 answered boldly: "Host, the small world is the product of the source world. It is given by the source world. There is no possibility of any world consciousness in a small world."
"What about the male and female protagonists?"
"The male and female protagonists are determined by the Source World based on their influence in this world, not by the world consciousness of this so-called small world. Host, the Source World's way of managing small worlds already has a history of tens of billions of years. There is a lot of knowledge involved, and I cannot explain it to you in detail."
"So, what would happen if this world developed world consciousness?"
"Host, do you know that the small world collapsed?" 077 did not answer him directly, but asked this question.
"Um."
"There are many possibilities for the collapse of the small world. The two main possibilities are: one is that the protagonist realizes that this world is fake, and has the idea of destroying the world and takes action. This happens a lot in the world of cultivation; the second is that the protagonists awaken, but do not follow the previous plot, and the subsequent development is a mess. If no one can make reasonable adjustments, the world will collapse; and the special one is the awakening of the world consciousness. But after the world consciousness in this small world awakens, the collapse of this world will be very soon."
Lin Late Year rubbed his slightly prickly chin and said, "Isn't the awakening of world consciousness a good thing for the world it belongs to?"
"No. The awakening of world consciousness is equivalent to the birth of a newborn who is hundreds of millions of times stronger than a human. His every move after his birth affects the changes in the entire world. For example, when He cries, it will rain. The sky is crying, which means the world consciousness is crying. If He keeps crying, it will keep raining, and this will affect the people living in this world. He has consciousness, and this world can be played with by Him at any time. In this way, won't it collapse?"
077 carefully explained everything to Lin Wannian, fearing that he might not understand, and even gave examples.
Lin Wannian understood what he heard, and the answer in his heart became clearer and clearer. He said, "So, the world consciousness in this small world has awakened."
077 replied: "Yes, but you don't have to worry. Generally, the awakened consciousness of the small world will be personally brought back to the source world by the high-level people of the source world to receive knowledge education, so this kind of situation where the awakened consciousness of the world collapses is still rare."
Lin Wannian looked at the bee on the other side of the video call and said, "Da Huang, who in our source world has world consciousness? Why haven't I heard of it?"
After hearing this, 077's eyes widened and he looked around: "Uh... well, it's rare. Apart from this exception, there is only one other case in the management files."
Because there was a precedent, this time, when signs of world consciousness awakening were detected, the top leaders were quickly called in to deal with it.
"Look, Dahuang, let me show you a picture. You are well-informed, so you should know something about it." Lin Wannian said as he sent the photo of the flower-selling girl that Yu Sang had taken to the system.
After the system received the photo sent by Lin Wannian, it took a look and its eyes widened again. Facing Lin Wannian's waiting, it remembered their relationship and the system notifications.
