Stray Chapter 7: True fantasy

“Newbie? What does this mean?”

Xia Ran keenly captured the key words.

“It means that we are actually the same unlucky ghosts. The wavelength of the soul is easy to approach the frequencies of other dimensions, and the coincidence with our own world is very unstable, and it may transcend the gap between the worlds at any time…”

The fuzzy human figure said this with some sense, and his tone had an inexplicable feeling of pity for each other.

“Although other things are not guaranteed, you are definitely not alone in this matter.”

Xia Ran was silent for a while, although this sounded inexplicable, but he felt that he seemed to be…somewhat understandable?

After all, he’s not really innocent. He still believes that Santa Claus will sit on a moose to deliver gifts every year. Naturally, he knows very well how evil what happened to him.

——Which normal person would have such a terrifyingly real dream? What so-called lucid dream can achieve that terrifying level of realism? It is as if the spiritual consciousness is lost in the endless river of time.

It’s just that he was too lacking in relevant intelligence and information before to make an accurate judgment. The only thing he can roughly grasp is the nature and characteristics of the “dream”.

In addition, no one can explain it to him, so he can only figure it out by himself, and then forcefully explain it, so that he can have an acceptable statement… Although this explanation is often of the nature of self-comfort That’s it.

“We…all the same?” he asked tentatively.

“Yes, we are all the same, although this situation is actually very, very rare, but the probability is not completely zero, and this infinite world is too broad…”

The blurred human figure seems to be nodding, but because the light and shadow effects are too rich, Xia Ran, who can only barely see the outline, has no way to distinguish the small movements in its details.

“It’s just because it’s too wide, so it’s impossible for us to observe every area. Only after the newcomer shows enough potential and possibilities can it be observed and locked, and then pulled into the white space. “

“…”

“…”

“So…what exactly is this mechanism?” Xia Ran felt a little confused. Could it be that the other party is still organized and disciplined?

“What mechanism? This question is a bit difficult to explain. Let’s just say, I wasn’t completely joking before, you can just understand it directly according to that statement. Although it is not a reincarnation space, there is no great light. ball.”

The blurry figure calling itself the leader seems to be very happy to say this——

“Although we are not strictly reincarnated as you imagined, our nature is actually very close. It is said that in some worlds we are called time and space travelers, apostles, lost travelers, etc. Of course, we also say that we are It’s from an extraterrestrial demon…”

Xia Ran fell silent again, pushed his glasses and didn’t speak. Although he always felt that something was wrong and there must be something wrong, he really didn’t think about the possibility of this kind of God unfolding at all!

——Maybe this is still my dream? By the way, it must be the case. Maybe this time is actually a simple dream, and it does not involve anything else, so this kind of situation occurs.

“I understand your doubts. It’s normal that you don’t believe in such things. After all, I was actually just like you when I first started. What normal person would accept such a statement so easily?”

As for Xia Ran’s silence, the leader didn’t seem to care.

“It’s just that the truth always speaks louder than words, and you’ll know it when you see it with your own eyes. By the way, the first thing to do is to build your personal area…”

“Create a personal area?”

“Yeah, just treat it like a reincarnation space… It’s the area specially divided for you by this great white space, and this space area actually belongs to you.”

The blurred human figure looked around, reaching out as if to gesture for something.

“So except for me who can temporarily project in due to my duty, no one else can interfere, and you can’t see them. But it still needs to be adjusted. Of course, by this time, it is estimated that the time will be almost the same.”

“Huh?”

Xia Ran couldn’t help raising his eyebrows, but in the next moment, he felt that some information seemed to flow in his consciousness.

It seems to hear an incomparably vast, but genderless voice. The reason why it sounds like it is because even he is not sure whether it is his hallucination or whether the eardrum really receives some kind of vibration— —

“…Retrieved…”

“…conditions match…”

“…a suitable assignment for starting rule assimilation…”

“…inserting intelligence and refactoring framework…”

“…scanning target object data to generate corresponding files…”

“… is granting the underlying permissions, activating the basic related module function services…”

“…Information inserted…”

“…for homework done…”

“…Complete the whole project…”

Almost at the same time, the surrounding pure white space was also undergoing earth-shaking changes extremely quickly.

As if time and space have become distorted, the curves visible to the naked eye appear out of thin air, outlining the outlines of various scenes almost instantly, and making them clear quickly.

After a while, the white part quickly shrank into one, and finally became a sphere suspended in mid-air, emitting a soft glow, and there seemed to be a vague array of information flow changing on the surface.

And as the light shines, a huge platform appears below. I don’t know what super alloy was used to pour it. It looks extremely flat, and it doesn’t even have fluctuations in microns. There is only a lonely wooden door. stand on top.

As for the surroundings of the platform, there is nothingness, like a dark and cold cosmic void.

And the two people who were sitting opposite each other in the pure white space before appeared directly on the huge platform, under the light of the soft light ball.

“It seems that my estimate is correct, but it may be that the psychological hints left by the jokes you made before are too strong, and as a result, your personal area has become such a style. For this, I feel I’m sorry—”

Seeing Xia Ran stunned there, the guide let out a haha, and apologized very insincerely.

“Also, I’m going to tell you some important caveats, believe it or not, it’s best to remember them first… After all, it doesn’t mean everything will be fine for granted, maybe Worse yet.”

……

……

I don’t know how much time has passed, and it’s midnight.

In the real world, Xia Ran slowly opened her eyes and woke up from her bedroom, her eyes were still full of daze, and she stared at the ceiling in the dark. In a daze.

It seems that for a while, I can’t tell what the situation is now and when it looks like.

“Well…”

After a long while, he groaned softly, and slowly sat up from the bed. He stretched out a finger in confusion and rubbed his temple to relieve the pressure in his brain.

The feeling that his brain is swelled by receiving too much information makes him very uncomfortable…

After trying hard to think about it, he found that he just seemed to have done a strange dream that was not dangerous, but it seemed very bizarre, and it was also very absurd, almost like a fantasy?

The swelling of his head became more and more serious. It seemed that the CPU was overloaded. While rubbing his temples, he tried to recall the dream just now… Then he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

The self in the dream seemed to drift into a pure white world, and then met a person who couldn’t even tell the gender, and then the other party didn’t care whether he accepted it or not, he said Lots of weird words.

How to say it? Before, he just felt something was wrong – just “something”.

But the style after that was “completely” wrong all of a sudden.

It’s like a high school student who thought that reality was the same thing. The repeated daily life is the whole of life. Even if a woman is forcibly pulled into some inexplicable club, it will not change this reality. basic state of affairs.

But it turned out that just a few days after the start of school, people from the same club were pulled out one after another and said a bunch of things that normal people couldn’t understand, trying to convince this high school student that they were aliens, future people, People from other worlds and people with superpowers…

—No, that’s impossible.

Although there are some subtle similarities in what happened, Xia Ran can still clearly distinguish the difference between dreams and reality, and he will not think that Yukishita’s classmate is actually Suzumiya.

I don’t even believe that Hiratsuka-sensei is a psychic or something… Huh? Wait, this is actually possible, otherwise why would she have such an unscientific power as a weak girl?

Xia Ran shook her head vigorously, trying to restrain her runaway thinking back.

Although the memory impression in the dream is as clear and profound as ever, for him who has woken up at this moment and is in the dimension called “reality”, it is only natural that he will start from a more realistic perspective. to look at the problem.

So of course he won’t believe in such absurd things, so Quan should just have a strange dream… Although he has always wondered if he saw other dimensions in the dream, An infinite world like the number of sands in the Ganges.

But… instead of believing in such a development, it is better to seriously think about whether it is more reliable to sign a contract with some strange creature and become a promising magical boy.

“Alas…”

Xia Ran sighed and covered her forehead.

Now that he has woken up and is in reality, he thinks that it may be that he is under too much psychological pressure on dreaming, so he has such absurd delusions… After all, it is impossible to say that he can directly exhale a system now. Bar?

It is said that what white space, what data terminal has been implanted in your soul level?

He thought so, and with the appearance of such a thought, in the next instant, he didn’t know what happened, his pupils shrank slightly, and his expression suddenly froze.

—He didn’t fall asleep again in the second half of the night.

(ps: I changed it at least five or six times, but I was still not satisfied. In the end, I deleted the few thousand words of simple dialogue explanations in the middle… I plan to scatter these settings and put them later, and wait until they are suitable. You can add explanations when you need to. I don’t want to stuff all my brains into one piece, and I use a simple question-and-answer chapter or two to explain the settings)
