After half an hour of communication, Qin Luo finally understood Chu Chu's current situation from Chu Liunian.

Good news: Chu Chu was not jealous or angry because Qin Luo and Chu Sijin slept together last night.

Bad news: Chuchu might never wake up.

She made a choice between herself and Chu Liunian. Under the premise that only one of them could be kept, she was willing to give up herself and keep Chu Liunian.

Therefore, she sealed herself up again, just like she did in previous years, trying to hand the control of her body back to Chu Liunian, but Chu Liunian was also unwilling to exchange Chu Chu's eternal sleep for his own survival.

So, the two twins were stuck in a stalemate, and Chu Liunian just said that he had been chatting with Chu Chu, which meant that he was trying to persuade Chu Chu to give up in various ways. Unfortunately, Chu Chu, who had always been weak, showed strong persistence and determination in this matter, and refused to change her mind no matter what Chu Liunian said.

She seemed determined to leave, and with her actions she answered the question Chu Liunian had asked Qin Luo - if only one could exist between her and me, which one would you want it to be?
Chuchu’s answer was: she wanted Chu Liunian to continue to survive.

"You know what she said?"

Chu Liunian hugged his knees and sat next to Qin Luo: "She said that I protected her when she was the saddest and most desperate, but now it's her turn to protect me."

Her tone was flat, as if she wanted to maintain her usual indifferent look, but the sadness in her eyes could not be concealed.

Qin Luo couldn't help but sigh.

Chu Liunian didn't care and continued to talk: "Do you know what she looked like when I first saw her? She was like a child who had just been abandoned. She curled up into a small ball, hugging her knees and hiding in the corner with her head buried."

"It was pitch black around her, and any small noise would scare her and make her tremble all over. At first she tried to call for help, but no matter how she shouted, no one helped her, so she completely shut herself off, as if she had given up everything."

"But I know that she still hopes someone can save her. Do you know why?"

She explained the matter in a stream of consciousness full of illusions, and Qin Luo listened carefully. After a moment's silence, he said, "Because you showed up?"

Chu Liunian nodded. "I scolded her harshly the first time I saw her. She kept crying, and I asked her why she was so weak. She was just suffering from a small setback, so why could she be so desperate? But no matter how I scolded her, she just looked at me and smiled foolishly, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep in front of me."

Qin Luo imagined the scene as he listened - perhaps for Chu Chu at that time, the appearance of Chu Liunian was the greatest salvation, like seeing a beam of light in the darkness, a ball of fire burning in the extreme cold. The appearance of Chu Liunian brought Chu Chu a great sense of security, so she, exhausted both physically and mentally, was finally able to fall asleep soundly.

Chu Chu closed herself off from the world at a very young age, and only dared to hide behind the "door" when she grew up, exploring the world bit by bit through Chu Liunian's eyes. She might have given up the idea of ​​appearing in this world again long ago, thinking that she would be satisfied as long as she hid behind Chu Liunian.

But Qin Luo's appearance gave her a reason to reappear.

So she plucked up her courage and stood in the sun again.

Love gave her enough courage, but it also stripped her of her armor.

And now, she chose to sink into the darkness again, just to keep the ray of light that pierced the darkness in the first place.

"I already knew she was a fool, stupid and weak. She knew everything, but she still made such a decision..."

Before he knew it, Chu Liunian's beautiful face was already covered with traces of tears.

As she spoke, she came up to Qin Luo and grabbed his collar with both hands: "And you, since you woke her up, why can't you take responsibility for her? You clearly said that you would find a way, why..."

At the end of her words, she couldn't help but throw herself into Qin Luo's arms, venting all her sorrow.

Qin Luo remained silent, patting her back gently until her crying faded a little, then he finally said: "There is a way, and I have been using this method for a long time."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Liunian's intermittent crying suddenly paused.

The crying girl raised her head and looked at him with doubt in her eyes.

"Aren't you wondering why you haven't disappeared yet... Of course, I'm not expecting you to disappear," Qin Luo gently wiped the tears from her face, and said, "In fact, normally speaking, you should have disappeared during the time Chuchu was on the boat."

From the time Chuchu's consciousness began to wake up frequently because she fell in love with Qin Luo, to the time she took the initiative to exchange consciousness with Liunian, and then to the time she woke up completely and went on a trip with Qin Luo and Chu Sijin for half a month, during which time Chu Liunian never appeared once.

There is no doubt that under such circumstances, Chuchu's psychological trauma has been cured, and she can live in this world like a normal person, and Chu Liunian has never appeared.

But Chu Liunian has not disappeared. Instead, whenever Chu Chu puts on the game helmet, he will appear in the world of "Second Dimension".

Both Chuchu and Chu Liunian thought this was reasonable, and that the disappearance of consciousness would be a gradual process. During this process, Chuchu had completely taken control of the body, and Chu Liunian could only survive in the "Second Dimension". Neither of them thought there was anything wrong with this, and they had been silently waiting for the inevitable ending.

It was not until he heard Qin Luo suddenly ask this question that Chu Liunian realized that something seemed wrong.

"What do you mean?"

The girl couldn't figure it out, so she just asked.

Qin Luo gently rubbed her head: "I asked Xiao A to use "Second Dimension" as a carrier to retain this part of your consciousness. In fact, the upgrade system in the game has been opened a long time ago. After all, the game is about to go online, but you can't upgrade. Do you know why?"

"……Why?"

"Because you have already been an NPC in this world... or in other words, you have become a part of this world."

Chu Liunian: "..."

The unexpected answer made her confused for a moment.

Am I an NPC?
I, a split personality, have become a string of data in the game world?

The question from her soul made Chu Liunian's mind a little confused. She almost subconsciously asked: "Are you into metaphysics?"

"No, I'm into science," Qin Luo shook his head. "I won't explain the specific process because I don't really understand it myself. Anyway, I was planning to keep this part of your consciousness first, let you live in the world of "Second Dimension", and then find a way to make a clone or a bionic man as a carrier to put this part of your consciousness in. Everything was going well, and we just needed to wait a little longer..."

After a pause, he sighed again, and said with some self-blame: "It's my fault for not explaining this to you earlier, because I wanted to wait until everything was certain before talking about it, but I didn't expect Chuchu to make such a decision."

Qin Luo's voice echoed in his ears, but Chu Liunian was unable to respond for a long time.

She looked at Qin Luo with suspicion, as if she was wondering about the truthfulness of what he had just said.

After all, no matter how you look at it, intercepting the consciousness of a split personality and turning it into an NPC in the game world is really a fantasy.

So she couldn't help but say: "This is not scientific at all!"

Qin Luo blinked: "Is the situation between you and Chuchu scientific?"

Chu Liunian had no way of responding to this.

After all, although she and Chuchu both knew that they were the main personality and the secondary personality, the form of existence was still a bit magical... But in comparison, what Qin Luo said now was still a bit too outrageous.

She wanted to ask more questions, but suddenly she seemed to remember something, and the body that was originally lying in Qin Luo's arms suddenly disappeared.

Qin Luo was not panicked, he knew that Chu Liunian was going to find Chu Chu.

He sat there for about ten minutes, and then Chu Liunian appeared again.

She stood there motionless, just staring at Qin Luo with subtle eyes.

Qin Luo asked her: "Have you told Chuchu what you just said?"

"Ah."

"What did she say?"

"You'll know if you go out and take a look."

Chu Liunian smacked his lips, then muttered, "She's not wearing the gaming helmet now, but I can still appear in this world... Tsk, have I really become an NPC?"

Qin Luo didn't care what she muttered, because the first half of her sentence undoubtedly proved that Chu Chu would wake up soon.

So he quickly said, "See you later." (End of this chapter)
