Chapter 193 Pizza and Wontons

Hui Yuanyuan followed Zhe Lukui's instructions, kept the phone in communication mode, and turned on the speakerphone.

"Well, wait a minute."

There was the sound of typing on the keyboard from the other side of the phone, but there was no sound from anyone else.

Zhe Lukui seemed to be performing the operation alone, while saying: "Normally, the step of activating the keyhole needs to be carried out in a medical institution under all-round monitoring... After all, pain and shock can really kill people. of."

"However, you are different. In this world, no doctor or biological equipment can control and adjust the human body to one ten thousandth of what you can do. And I don't want to leak your information." Get out... So, let us skip this step. I will personally execute the activation instructions for you. And you... lie down."

Hui Yuanchu placed the communication next to his pillow and said, "I'm ready."

Anyway, pain has never been a problem for him.

Three minutes passed quickly, and Zhe Lukui's cold countdown came from the phone: "——3."

……

"2."

"1."

"……start up."

Hui Yuanchu calmly cut off his own pain, and then——

He lost the world.

At the last moment when the power of flesh and blood still controlled the body, Hui Yuanchu's inner vision saw a series of hallucinations that were absolutely impossible to produce physically -

Inside the neck, behind the palate, the brainstem beneath his brain was glowing.

That's where the keyhole is injected.

The silver light was like a swimming fish or a flowing starry sky, quickly spreading and wrapping around the entire brain stem.

...Then, a slender female hand stretched out from inside the brain stem.

Another one.

one by one.

Qian Baizhi's silver illusory hand suddenly emerged from the inside of the brain stem, layered on top of each other, each slightly staggered.

In an instant, these hands made gentle movements one after another, closing one after another, covering his brain layer by layer.

But at the same time, countless identical hands that had grown several times larger appeared like a layer of flower petals blooming outside, re-emerging from the roots of the thousands hands and continuing to turn outwards.

Countless big hands on the second floor gently closed together again, wrapping Hui Yuan's body lying on the bed in the apartment.

When the heavy silver hand was held, and the last gap exposing his body was closed, the third layer of Thousand Hands emerged from the root of the heavy silver hand.

This time, these silver hands were hundreds of times larger, covering the entire block.

In this way, in this "moment" where time does not really pass, thousands of "heavy" silver hands are wrapped layer by layer with Hui Yuan as the center.

And in the process of wrapping layer by layer, the distinction between the inner and outer space of each hand seems to have been directly changed, and it is slowly but firmly twisted by some invisible force.

Finally, a complete twist.

The "outside" facing the back of the hand becomes the "inside".

Neighborhoods, cities, continents...the world was repeatedly held in the palms of silver hands one by one, increasingly compressed into a ball of light.

The "inside" facing the palm has become the "outside"

Hui Yuanchu, who was originally wrapped, was instead pushed out, pushed to the outermost side by countless hands, and stood in the world called "the world", which was protected layer by layer by countless silver petal-like hands. Next to the ball of light, there was nothingness.

He just stood in nothingness, his soul looked upwards, and saw an abyss.

It was not an abyss of nothingness, but because the light was too strong, it became an abyss of darkness.

In the deepest part of the abyss, in the unreachable distance, there is a vague kingdom of light.

But Hui Yuanchu immediately realized that with the world around him as the most obvious reference, he was slowly sinking.

Sliding irresistibly, slowly, in the opposite direction to the abyss of light in the sky.

He looked at his feet and the direction in which he was sliding - opposite the abyss of light, there was a sea of ​​chaos.Bottomless, like folds, like mud, squirming unconsciously, sea-like chaos.

Hui Yuanchu suddenly screamed in horror.

The ability to fear, which he had long lost, burst out at this moment.

Or maybe it's not fear at all, but another kind of fluctuation.But in short, under the torment of that kind of fluctuation, his voice was hoarse, and his amorphous soul was violently agitated and struggling.

But Fall didn't care about his struggle at all, and continued slowly inch by inch.

However, the chaotic sea seemed to be excited and boiling more enthusiastically, as if it was welcoming his return.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed him.

He looked up in horror and saw a slender, silver arm covered with catheters.

That arm pulled him steadily, preventing him from falling any further.

At the same time, from behind the hand holding him, countless silver hands turned towards him lightly.

The package was lifted, and Hui Yuanchu was sent back again, flying to the world again.

The boiling fear was soothed and gradually subsided. Hui Yuan's consciousness quickly plunged into the world that became huge again because of his proximity.

……

Hui Yuanchu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the apartment.

For a moment, his lips trembled and he couldn't even make a sound.

He doesn't remember anything.But only two thoughts were unusually clear and certain - that the hand appeared again, and that he seemed to be dead again.

At this moment, a translucent screen suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

On the screen, a LOGO was slowly displayed, and text was refreshed below——

[Initial startup self-test]

【...3】

【.……2】

【...1】

【...0】

[The self-test has been completed.Welcome to Epinoia.Sophia is with you. 】

Immediately afterwards, Zhe Lukui's photo popped up on the screen.
[Communication request from "Zhelu Aoi", do you want to accept it? 】

【Yes】

【no】

Hui Yuan instinctively chose yes in his consciousness.

Immediately, the photo was enlarged, and Zhe Lukui's slightly surprised voice sounded directly in his ears: "Huh? You have already learned how to use it... I originally wanted to teach you with the voice."

"No, it's simple." Hui Yuanchu subconsciously "replied". "...Unbelievable." After a moment of silence, Zhe Lukui's voice came again.

"how?"

"The voice is still on, but I didn't hear you make any sound with your vocal cords. This means that although it is the first time to connect, you can already accurately control whether your consciousness is projected to the keyhole or to the original body. This kind of thing is like one soul controlling two bodies at the same time. No matter how talented a normal person is, there will be at least a few days of chaos after the first contact with the control, and then they can slowly get used to controlling the two systems separately. "

"It's almost the same as controlling the soul cicada." Hui Yuanchu replied briefly.

"I see, the soul has long been accustomed to a different terminal form from the body..."

"Maybe."

"...That moment just now, was it painful?"

Hui Yuanchu thought of that hand again and remained silent in his consciousness.

The chaotic thoughts made him not know what to say for a moment.

So, in the end, he only passed on two words: "It's okay."

Zhe Lukui misunderstood him.

"There's no need to hold on. You probably don't realize it yourself, but your attitude is different from usual... Forget it, you should take a rest first." Her voice seemed gentler than usual, and then she simply disconnected .

[The communication has ended. 】

Epinoia printed the prompt text and reduced the translucent screen area to the upper right corner of the field of view.

Hui Yuanchu frowned - the minimized Epinoia... was just to the left of the trigger point of his own system.

He first looked down and found that Orokui had also cut off the voice call on his mobile phone.

As a result, Hui Yuan was relieved and began to focus more intently on the trigger points of the two systems in his field of vision.

After hesitating for a moment, he first opened Epinoia again... then, while keeping each window open, he had an idea and clicked on his own system.

Then, looking at the scene before him, he exhaled.

His system was also opened normally.

— and, stably occluded on top of Epinoia, like a layer with higher visual priority.

This scene caused Hui Yuanchu to fall into confusion.

From this look, his conjecture that "his system may come from the core of divination and is part of Epinoia" was immediately shattered.

These two systems are simply incompatible...

impossible!The two can't be unrelated!Hui Yuanchu shook his head vigorously.

The girl's arm that saved him from death every time actually appeared at the moment when the keyhole was connected. This is the strongest evidence that the system is connected with the core of divination!
Moreover, there is also a prayer system!
Hui Yuanchu could clearly remember that the last time, the system rewarded him with a reminder card and a prayer opportunity. After activation, it was the divination core that came to "receive" him.

Therefore, the two cannot be unrelated.

Hui Yuanchu glanced at the prayer button in his system interface again and pressed it without hesitation. At the same time, he sent his own thoughts: "——Who are you? Epinoia?"

Then he discovered that this time the prayer system didn't even start counting the cooling time.

... Just like pretending not to hear anything, the system seems to be refusing to answer the question.

Hui Yuanchu looked at the interface helplessly, thought for a while, pressed "Pray" again, and then changed the question: "I want to find a place where I can work."

This time, the prayer went into cooling mode.

At the same moment, Sophia's avatar suddenly popped up under Zorukui's avatar, sent a few numbers, and then quickly disappeared.

With just one glance, Hui Yuanchu had already memorized the string of numbers.

And, I was surprised because of the familiarity of that string of numbers.

——That’s Teacher Alisa Fujiwara’s phone number.

...Do you mean asking Alisa-chan for help?

Hui Yuanchu didn't even pick up the phone, but dialed the number directly in Epinoia with ease.

"Hey, isn't this Hatsu-chan? Why do you have time to come to the teacher today—"

Hui Yuan still maintained physical silence, but the keyhole directly transformed his consciousness into an almost realistic simulated voice, which was transmitted to the other end of the phone: "I want to work."

"Hey!! Why are you such a lazy idiot suddenly so diligent? It's so abnormal! Wait, generally speaking, there is only one thing that can make a boy take action... Hatsu-chan has a girlfriend???!!"

"I want to work."

"Tell me the reason first!"

"Give me work."

"...Okay, okay, don't reread it. Just wait, I'll ask -"

"Send me a message when you have the results. I'm hanging up."

"Hey, hello!!!"

Hui Yuanchu ignored the angry roar on the other end and hung up the phone.

Then he fell into deep thought again.

There is indeed some connection between the system and the core of divination.It's just that it's not a simple relationship like the two being one as he originally thought.

Or, as he thought, because the system's personality is higher than that of the divination core, it can "arrange" or "order" the divination core to meet his needs.

But the divination core has been confirmed by Zorukui to be the creator level...

Hui Yuanchu shook his head.

He realized that the current information was still not enough for him to draw any conclusions.

In fact, regardless of his mysterious system, he still doesn't understand enough about the objects connected to the keyhole.

Whether it's the virtual interactive system called Epinoia, or the electronic ghost that predicts fate called the core of divination... Hui Yuan initially suspected that these might not be the full picture of the "Creator-level".

Hui Yuanchu took a deep breath and calmed down.

At least the direction is still clear - continue to maintain the current position, look for opportunities to enter deeper areas of the group, and explore the true appearance of the "divination core".

As long as he stays by Zhe Lukui's side, this matter may not be too difficult, after all, the other party is also considered a high-level executive of the group...

……and many more.

main mission……

Hui Yuanchu's heart suddenly trembled.

What really pushed him to Zuri Aoi's side was the main mission released by the system.

In an instant, Hui Yuanchu suddenly felt the long-lost fear.

There was even a fleeting illusion, as if he was about to lose his footing and fall, falling into the bottomless chaos entrenched and crawling below.

But the illusion lasts only a moment.Soon, the fear and the impression that brought it were plucked from his mind by some illusory and slender hand and disappeared.
