Chapter 75 Gradually Entering That World
Zhou Zhiheng pressed his finger on the sensor area.
However, the door remained closed.
The access control alarm sounded.
[WARNING! The theater is now showing the film "The Ultimate World," and access is locked.]
At the same moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor in the direction of the main control center.
Marlowe ran over in surprise: "Chairman! They...they succeeded, they got in!"
Zhou Zhiheng quietly clenched his fist in the hand holding the suit jacket.
Did those two people actually succeed?
Five minutes ago.
That hoarse question rang out from above.
A powerful force came.
Ning Shuyin was easily lifted up and then firmly pressed against his chest.
Situ Linchen held her waist with one hand, and with the other hand he grabbed her hand without saying a word—the hand that had just made a mistake.
"Don't touch me." His voice carried a warning, and a hint of suppressed emotion.
He grabbed her wrist and forcefully pressed it against his left chest—the location of his heart.
"Put your hands here."
Then, he lowered his head and touched his forehead to hers.
In absolute darkness, their distance was reduced to its limit.
Their breaths mingled, and their breathing could be heard.
"Don't think about anything." His voice was like a seductive whisper. "Follow me...and breathe..."
He was trying to force their breathing rates to match in this way.
The distance is too close.
His hot breath brushed directly against her lips.
Ning Shuyin's fingertips, pressed against his chest, trembled slightly.
Reason commanded them to synchronize.
Instinct, yet it screams wildly that it is out of control.
Their breathing, instead of becoming steady, grew increasingly rapid and hot.
But just as reason and instinct were tearing each other apart, a strange feeling came over me.
Their consciousness, under the extreme stirrings of budding desire, became blurred and distorted.
This works!
The two realized this almost simultaneously—they were gradually entering that virtual world.
The body temperature continues to rise.
Heartbeats, all in a frenzy.
The darkness before my eyes was finally replaced by a blinding white light.
Consciousness, detached from reality.
The two successfully entered the movie-watching mode, which is the ultimate world created by the out-of-control AI.
After the feeling of weightlessness subsided, Ning Shuyin's feet were back on solid ground.
She quietly stomped her foot; the sensation felt very real.
[Welcome to the Ultimate World theme park, everyone! I'm your personal guide.]
A sweet, AI-guided voice sounded in my ear.
Ning Shuyin opened her eyes and found herself standing at the entrance of an amusement park.
The carousel flashed its colorful lights, and screams from NPCs echoed from the distant roller coaster. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of popcorn.
She glanced at Situ Linchen beside her.
His sharp suit stood out starkly against the cartoon background.
He had just opened his eyes and was looking around when his energy surged around him. His handsome face was full of vigilance.
He was trying to see the flaws in this world.
Ning Shuyin immediately released her perception and began searching for that "switch".
There was no reaction outside the amusement park.
Meanwhile, energy clusters were faintly visible in the center of the amusement park.
[Two audience members have been detected and are ready. Now, the heart-fluttering task is: Sweet feeding!]
The electronic guide sounds again: [Gentlemen, please buy a giant ice cream for the lady and feed it to her by hand. Once the mission's sweetness level reaches 80% or higher, you can enter the park!]
Ning Shuyin: "..."
Situ Linchen: "..."
His brows furrowed, and he glanced at Ning Shuyin.
Ning Shuyin was a little overwhelmed.
Playing "sweet feeding" with this killer?
Situ Linchen surveyed the surroundings and said, "It seems this is the only clear path at the moment; we have to go in."
He pointed to the amusement park gate.
Ning Shuyin forced herself to say, "Yes, I have no choice but to do as you say."
Situ Linchen strode towards the convenience store.
He returned very soon.
He was holding an enormous ice cream cone. The ice cream was multicolored and topped with a glowing little spoon.
He handed the ice cream to Ning Shuyin with a serious expression.
"Eat."
Ning Shuyin blinked and reminded her, "The AI says it wants you to feed me..."
Situ Linchen's brow twitched.
He paused for two seconds, then picked up the glowing spoon from the ice cream.
And so, a bizarre scene unfolded at the entrance of the amusement park.
The Supreme Marshal of the Interstellar Alliance, the god of death who could stop children from crying at night, was scooping up a spoonful of pink ice cream and holding it to Ning Shuyin's lips.
"Open your mouth."
His expression remained serious, but his eyes seemed somewhat bewildered.
Ning Shuyin opened her mouth cautiously and took it in.
The sweet berry flavor melts in your mouth.
[Sweetness level test in progress...]
[Current sweetness level: -10%. Strong murderous intent was detected in the audience's behavior, which deviates from the mission's objective.]
Situ Linchen: "..."
"Marshal, why don't you... tone down your killing intent? Give me a smile?" Ning Shuyin suggested softly.
Situ Linchen glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
[Sweetness level: -5%. The player's expression is interpreted as mocking, which contradicts the mission's main theme.]
Ning Shuyin was in despair.
It seems that relying on him to portray sweet characters will be difficult to succeed in the short term.
Driven by a survival instinct, she snatched the spoon, quickly scooped up a mouthful, and brought it to Situ Linchen's lips.
"It's only fair to reciprocate, so have a bite too. That might make up for the sweetness."
Situ Linchen hesitated for a moment. He lowered his eyes, looking at the spoon that was so close to him.
That was the one she had just used.
Ning Shuyin noticed his hesitation and assumed he was just feeling uncomfortable, so she subconsciously tried to move the spoon forward a little.
But just as the ice cream was about to touch his lips, he suddenly realized that she had put the spoon she had just used to eat from to the marshal's mouth.
This realization made her immediately pull her hand back.
"I'm sorry, you should do it..."
She wanted to return the spoon to him.
However, he did not answer it.
My wrist was gently grasped by a warm and strong hand.
Then, he lowered his head slightly, took her hand, and ate the spoonful of ice cream.
He pursed his lips slightly, as if savoring the taste of ice cream.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
"It doesn't matter."
He said in a low voice.
[An innovative audience interaction mode has been detected, now determined to be a playful, coy interaction between couples. Sweetness level 85%, entry to the park permitted.]
It was a success.
The amusement park gates opened to both sides.
Situ Linchen's expression turned serious again, and he gestured for Ning Shuyin to follow.
But the moment the two stepped through the door, the surrounding scenery was instantly stripped away.
All the noise and commotion disappeared.
As a result, the amusement park also disappeared.
The ground beneath our feet crumbled and disintegrated.
"Wait, something's not right!" Ning Shuyin's expression changed. "Didn't we finish?"
A cold, robotic voice announced: "[Two viewers, the real amusement park is below.]"
Suddenly, their feet lost their footing, and endless darkness completely engulfed them.
