Star Dome Railway, my props are a bit weird

This time, the person sitting in the cafe manager's seat was not Zhen Ye, but Yin Lang.She was fiddling with an electronic device and seemed to have known who was coming, so she said hello without looking back.

As if she had finished this level just in time, she put down the electronic device in her hand, climbed over the bar, jumped to Zhen Ye and began to look at the two of them.

Then, in a rather resentful tone, she began to mutter.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you very much."

"I'm used to being alone with my 'teammates', and a little lonely."

"I've been busy doing things lately, and I don't have time to stay up late and play games... You guys haven't contacted me either, which makes me feel like I've been forgotten."

"I haven't been here during this period. You must have improved a lot. What progress have you made? Did I fall behind too much?"

Zhenye chuckled: "Didn't we call you when we came back? You are my most important friend, how could I forget you."

"Speaking of which, you have been causing trouble at Xianzhou Luofu recently, right?"

She clicked her tongue and admitted Zhenye's guess unhappily: "Yes. Isn't it written in the 'game plot'?"

"Won't Kafka and the others notice you running around like this?"

Silver Wolf seemed to be opened up to talk, and he was very positive about Zhen Ye's chatty tone.

"Elio, I don't know. Kafka did show interest. As for Blade, he didn't care about what I was doing."

Then she lamented again: "This group of people seems to have their own goals. I am the only one who looks completely like a newbie. I don't know what to do and what I do is meaningless."

Zhenye took a look at the silver wolf that had almost become a useless meow, and thought to himself, I'm afraid you have been transformed into a useless person. You don't have such a lack of motivation.

So he half-squinted his eyes and reminded: "It's about to 'awaken', can you... cheer up a little bit?"

"Then prepare a curry and coffee set for me. I want the best one."

Zhenye nodded happily and agreed: "Okay."

He began to expertly "go in both directions" between the coffee machine and the kitchen.As for Silver Wolf, it was rare that he did not continue to focus on the game, but instead chatted with Zhenye about some common topics.

Bronya remained silent and watched the whole process, which seemed to have little nutritional content but contained some different meanings. A strange feeling gradually arose in her heart.

Because they were so similar in some aspects, Bronya always had a vague sense of déjà vu when looking at Silver Wolf.

When she sees her 'past self' being so close to others, she will have a strange feeling in her heart, which is natural.

Zhenye prepared the ultimate coffee and ultimate curry set for Silver Wolf.Then, as usual, several completely different desserts were prepared for Bronya.

Bronya enjoyed her desserts, but she felt that these desserts were not as delicious as before. No matter what she ate, they always had a slight sour taste.

Such interactions between family and friends without any barriers... are really enviable.

After resting for a while and regaining his energy, Silver Wolf finally spoke: "Let's talk about 'awakening'."

Zhenye nodded, explaining it to Bronya and replenishing the settings.

"The first way is 'the courage to face death'. The second way is 'accept the other side of yourself that you least want to accept'. The third way is 'ignite your own soul of resistance'."

"Have you chosen?"

"Well, the choice has been made. I choose...'the second way'."

Zhenye raised his eyebrows. He originally thought Silver Wolf would choose the first or third option.After all, if nothing else, these two methods, summoning the mask and 'crazy cool', are more distinctive than the second method.

"So, without further ado, let's get started?"

"Okay, let's start then."

Bronya found an opportunity to join the conversation, and she quickly asked: "Do you need my help with anything?"

Zhenye shook his head at her: "This 'self-accepting' way of awakening the persona does not require the help of outsiders like us."

"At that time, you and I just need to remain silent, observe the situation and be prepared to respond to emergencies at any time."

Zhenye said as he took out his phone and clicked on the Different World APP.

'Om—'

A layer of red and black fluctuations spread rapidly around the mobile phone.The world in front of me gradually became distorted.

The original coffee shop was transformed into an empty green grassland.

'The world... is coming to life.It coincides with the gradual destruction of Beloberg in the real world. '

Silver Wolf began to adjust his breathing.After confirming that her mentality was stable, she raised her head and looked at Zhenye.

"What do I need to do?"

"Close your eyes and imagine in your mind that another self is standing in front of you..."

Chapter 11 Confessions of “NPC”

Yin Lang closed his eyes as told and began to fantasize about communicating with his 'other self' according to Zhen Ye's words.

The world around her calmed down as she relaxed her mind.All sounds and thoughts left her.

After an unknown amount of time, Silver Wolf opened his eyes again.She found that she seemed to be standing on a silent and calm 'sea'.Above the sea is the eternally lonely night sky.

The sea surface is like a clear mirror, and the line between water and sky perfectly reflects the empty world.

Little bits of light gradually appeared around her, and everything seemed like a dream.

The calm sea suddenly had some fluctuations.Her own shadow squirmed, then burst out of the water with a splash, standing opposite her.

This shadow is a complete copy of her.Except for the bright golden pupils, the rest is exactly the same as the silver wolf.

"..."

"..."

The feeling of looking into the eyes of 'another self' is so subtle.

After a moment of silence, Shadow's expression changed from boredom, to contempt, to ridicule.Then, He spoke slowly, his tone full of disappointment and disdain.

"Now, you are a speck of dust in the entire galaxy, and you are a poor prisoner tightly bound by fate... Why, you want to continue these meaningless things now, so you found me?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew he was a venomous person.

Silver Wolf frowned slightly, and for a moment, the realization that 'he knows himself best' emerged spontaneously.

"So……"

Seeing that Silver Wolf didn't speak, the sarcasm in Shadow's expression became even more intense. She spoke in an extremely exaggerated tone: "'Great' Galaxy Adventurer...can you tell me why you came and why you chose to talk to me?" ?"

"Is it to enhance one's own strength? Or is it just because of the jealousy that 'she and I don't have'? Or is it just because of the pitiful theory of playing the game of life?"

"You know what? You don't look like a player at all. You look more like an Internet-addicted girl who uses games as an excuse to escape reality, a helpless and desperate poor guy."

"You think that no prison can hold you... But only you know it. You are still trapped in the largest and strongest prison, struggling, like a traveler in the desert who is thirsty for water, struggling towards the end. A realistic oasis forward.”

Silver Wolf didn't speak from the beginning to the end - because she was indeed sprayed speechless by her 'other self', all over her body.

It’s really... every sentence touches a painful point.

"Does everything you do...make sense?"

After Shadow finished speaking, he looked down at Silver Wolf, waiting for her answer.

She stood there in silence for a long time, remembering her past ideas.

'Reality is a game - but what's the point of a game if you can't be happy? '

No, it's not like that...the game has meaning whether it's fun or not.

It's like someone asking you "Is climbing a mountain meaningful?" "Is life meaningful?" "Is the journey meaningful?" - you may not be able to answer these questions at the moment, or you may give a negative answer.

But everyone knows that it is up to you to decide what you think it means.

Climbing a mountain makes sense—because it’s a challenge for you.Because the mountain is there.

Life is meaningful - because destiny is not given by anyone, it is in your own hands.It is the goddess of fate who plays with the threads of fate, but she has never said that you cannot resist the so-called 'predetermined fate'.

The journey is meaningful - because as long as you embark on the journey, no matter the length of the journey, you will gain something when you set off.This gain, which may be insignificant to you, will become your accumulation and your wealth.That's the meaning.

An electric current surged from my mind to my body.

Silver Wolf suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth, and stared back without fear.

"Everything I do...of course has meaning."

"You're just the 'other me', not me...you can't decide, I decide the meaning."

Shadow's sarcastic smile and condescending eyes softened, and he looked at Silver Wolf as if he was getting acquainted with him again.

"Haha...that's really interesting!"

Silver Wolf took a deep breath, took a fearless step forward, and fought back with an aura that was no weaker than the shadow.

"Yes, I am indeed not an unrestrained player."

"Having witnessed the truth of this world, I have long understood that I am just an NPC with no freedom at all."

"I don't want to use the so-called bond or other clichéd words to convince you. After all, you are the 'other me'. I feel clichéd things myself, and I believe you do too."

Shadow nodded in agreement: "If you dare to do this, I will draw my sword and chop you on the spot."

"So - what I want to say is, even if I was 'meaningless' in the past. Now, I have found something meaningful."

"I want to follow that man's footsteps... follow him to the end of the story. Challenge the 'higher world'."

shadow:"……"

He raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "It's just a new friend I met recently and I'm not familiar with... Is he worthy of your choice?"

Silver Wolf said without hesitation: "Whether it's worth it or not is up to me to decide."

"I'm not a 'player' yet, but I will be soon."

"What I am about to embark on is a true path of 'becoming a player'. What I am taking on is a 'main mission' that changes my life."

shadow:"……"

He, who was so fierce before, now gradually became silent.After a long time, He showed a meaningful smile.

"I see. You're using him to convince me."

He seemed very helpless, and his tone was a little bit dumbfounded: "He's really good at playing tricks... Is he your latest golden finger or something?"

"The abacus is pretty good..."

"But I have to admit, you've persuaded me a little bit."

In His golden pupils, a wild and uninhibited light flourished.Immediately, He laughed wildly and exaggeratedly.

"Very good, that's good! In that case...then I will become your strength and see how far you can go on this path."

The shadow's expression and body gradually became more ferocious, and then, another voice that seemed to last forever resounded through her entire inner world in an instant.

"I am you, you are me..."

Along with this deafening mechanically synthesized female voice, the entire world was torn apart by a magnificent force.Like a mirror, it shattered inch by inch and turned into 'another galaxy'.

Silver Wolf's feet were in the air, feeling like he was falling into the boundless darkness.But she didn't panic in the slightest.

Because she could feel that rays of blue light were gathering behind her.

Her fall suddenly stopped, because a girl with a noble and elegant figure but obvious "mechanical characteristics" suddenly appeared and caught her.

She closed her eyes as if they were 'not activated', and various mechanical floating objects with a futuristic sci-fi feel surrounded her like some kind of self-protection program.The exquisite mechanical structure exudes a phantom light that changes with the breathing.

These mechanical structures are like miniature galactic battleships.At this moment, the sleeping girl with her eyes lowered is their 'chief commander'.

She slowly opened her eyes, which had a mechanical quality. The red pupils surrounded by several circles of white light were gradually filled with a color called 'spirituality'.

"Command connection passed. Authentication successful. 'eniac' started."

Chapter 12 THE MAGICIAN

"ENIAC...what does it mean?"

In the cognitive world, Bronya seemed a little confused when she saw a mechanical girl suddenly appear behind Silver Wolf.

She has always maintained awe and curiosity about the mysterious thing called 'Persona'.
