I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

Otherwise, if I simulate this first-person experience twice, I will get dizzy.

Standing up trembling, Ikaros covered his right arm where he was still feeling phantom pain, walked into the bathroom with the help of the wall, washed his face, and let the wind blow for a while to calm his racing heart.

Knowing that Ena would not bubble during the simulation, Ekaros did not question Ena's intentions at this moment.

After all, her memory wasn't so bad that she forgot what Ena said at the beginning.

"The simulation is based on the host's Originium skills." Only two weeks have passed, but Ikaros still remembers this sentence in his heart.

His Originium skills were enhanced in terms of the five senses after the first simulation, and in terms of the sense of reality and illusion after the second simulation.

Therefore, it is reasonable that the physical sensation of the first-person mode has become stronger nowadays.

So after simply alleviating the impact of the phantom pain, Ekalos poured himself a glass of juice while continuing to watch the text simulation.

……

[But fortunately, before you lose your patience with Haisi and plan to communicate with it in another way, or just leave.]

[A faint voice comes from the bottom of your heart, although the voice is intermittent and the words are unclear, like a child who has just learned to speak.

But that voice did appear in your heart and conveyed to you what the other person wanted to express. 】

[Obviously, the sea creature understood the words you wrote, or rather, the existence behind the sea creature understood your words, and concentrated its wisdom and thinking to communicate with you through the sea creature.]

[You feel a brief moment of fear, but then comes joy and surprise.]

[Although being able to communicate with Hai Si seems to have distanced you a little from being a normal Agor citizen. ]

[But compared to Skadi and Laurentina who might have a chance to help become deep-sea hunters, your final identity is not important to you.]

[So you quickly put aside your fear and grudges and started communicating with Hai Si in front of you.]

[To be honest, you don't really know what the point of doing this is, but your heart or your blood keeps telling you, hinting you that as long as you communicate with this sea creature, you will get the answer to your question.]

[Because you had Skadi to accompany you, you were always hinted at and never thought of crossing the red line in your eyes.]

[But now you know very well that if you don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, you must do something. ]

[And for Skadi and Laurentina, you are willing to cross that red line. ]

[Even if that may mean a fate of no return, you will not regret it. ]

[Compared to helplessly waiting for unknown misfortune and fate, you would rather turn yourself into firewood to illuminate the road ahead. ]

[After all, you have taken care of them, brought them up, lived with them for many years, watched them grow up little by little, and are both a mother and a sister. ]

[I will never allow a second tragedy to happen, and I will never allow a second irreparable regret and scar to appear in my life.]

[So, you asked your question to Haisi in front of you. ]

【Ask the question that has been pent up deep in your heart. 】

[That is, 'Why did Hai Si fight with the Agor people?', 'Am I an Agor person?' and 'Can you ask your people not to hurt Laurentina and Skadi?'. ]

[The first two questions are related to you having doubts about Agor's official position over the years, investigating many terrifying details and events but to no avail, and having that strange dream and experiencing strange things yourself.]

[The last question is more like a request than a question.]

[This is the question you want to get the answer to the most, and it is also the basis and fundamental that prompted you to communicate with Hai Si today. 】

[You hope that you can help Skadi and Laurentina, no matter what means or methods you use.]

[Even if you have to associate with monsters and former enemies, it still won't change your determination. 】

[It's just... maybe the question you asked is a little complicated. ]

【It may also be due to some other reasons.】

[In short, Haisi's voice remained silent for nearly two hours.]

【It or He did not answer any of your questions. 】

[Only a fragmentary and meaningless sentence was left, "Blood relatives...save, blood relatives...return, a large group, give..." and then there was no more news. 】

[No matter what you wrote on the paper to Hai Si in front of you, even if you endured the discomfort in your throat and asked him, you never got any answer.]

[That voice disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea.]

[You can only leave in disappointment in the end, and after a period of lost thoughts, you can't help but think of the silver figure that has been gone for many years.]

[Although you have been trying your best to avoid bothering the other party, after a whole night of mental struggle and asking Haisi again to no avail. ]

[Finally, feeling somewhat guilty, you wrote a purposeful letter home with an attitude of giving it a try.

And mailed it to the person in the city of Agor. 】

【To be honest, as a sister, you don’t want to trouble the other person to do anything. 】

[But after you have exhausted all your tricks, you inevitably place your last hope on the other person. ]

[After all, you can't figure out what Hai Si's words really mean. ]

[I don't trust anyone who has any connection with the upper echelons of Agor, except her.]

[However... although you have made the decision in your heart, you can't help but hesitate when you start writing the letter. ]

[You start to think about how much you should write to the other party about what you know. Should you also tell the other party about Haisi, or just write your request while greeting the other party? ]

[As you start writing the letter, you look at the photo of yourself and the other person on the table and fall into deep thought.]

[After a period of careful consideration, a decision was made...]

……

[Disagreement 1: Since you trust me, you should tell everything to Goletia without reservation. You will be glad for your choice.]

[Divergence 2: Speak your mind, and feel free! Express your love and loneliness, tell Godia, sister, late at night, ?, lonely and unbearable ?, urgently need the love of a beautiful girl! (Will unlock the pink CG, or enter a special simulation node?)]

[Disagreement 3: Keep the information about Haisi, entrust Goletia to try to take care of Skadi and Laurentina who are deep in the front line, and entrust her to investigate the information about your parents and your childhood. In this way, you may get the truth, but after knowing the truth, you are in deep confusion. Are you really ready to accept everything? ]

……

【Host, please make a choice. 】

Chapter 94: The Final Decision, the Coming Truth

Although there are always strange options in the divergent choices.

However, it is obvious that key differences have emerged in this simulation that will affect the future and the outcome of the simulation.

That is the first and third differences, which require Ikaros to decide whether the "self" in the simulation should choose to hide the things related to Hai Si from Gloria.

It is obvious that the differences will lead to a good ending.

Compared to his "self" in the simulation, Ikaros actually knows more about Gloria to some extent.

For example, she knew very well that Goletia's mother was actually a scientific governor of the Agor high-level, with considerable power. At this moment, Goletia was most likely already a member of the high-level, and if nothing unexpected happened, she had already become the person in charge of the Deep Sea Hunter Program...

Although it is unclear why the deep-sea hunter setting appeared so early in this simulation, considering that this is a simulation, Ikaros is too lazy to worry too much about the details of the setting.

The reason why Ikaros felt that the differences would lead to a good future was based on her understanding of Gloria through the game in her previous life.

Ikaros was certain that this cold-outward-looking but warm-hearted lady from the Second Squadron would do everything she could to protect herself after learning all about her own situation in the simulation.

Just like in the future, if nothing unexpected happens, Gloria will protect her Laurentina and Skadi, even at the cost of leaving her hometown Agor where she could have returned.

So disagreement one is good, but it is completely not in the interest of Ekaros himself, so it can be simply ignored.

As for the second disagreement, there is no need to think about it.

The character design is totally ooc, although Ikaros feels that Gloria might be happy to help the "self" in the simulation to relieve the "loneliness"...

And the difference is three.

All I can say is that just by reading the description of Divergence Three, Ikaros felt that something big was about to happen.

Just imagine that the gentle and frail elder sister who learned the truth discovered that all her current inabilities were caused by the hometown that raised her. She realized that the so-called protection and sacrifice of the deep-sea hunters were nothing but the product of the arrogance and stupidity of the upper class, and understood that all the bloodshed and fighting were nothing but meaningless fights between blood relatives.

What choice will she make when she is already confused about her position and identity? What changes will happen to her mentality? What changes will happen to her attitude towards Agor?

There is no doubt that although the mental state of 'Ikaros' in the simulation now seems to be good and his personality is unusually gentle.

But the gentler a person is, the more fragile his heart is.

And when the cruel truth is revealed along with the scars of the past, perhaps mental collapse happens in just a moment?

By then, 'I'll turn evil, or my personality will change drastically.

How interesting that would be, Ikaros didn't even dare to imagine it!

So he chose Divergence Three without hesitation. Of course, it was not just to make the subsequent simulation more fun, but more because Ikaros hoped to gain more distortion points and higher simulation evaluation.

……

[After careful consideration, you decided to conceal the matter related to Hai Si.]

[You are doing this not because you don't trust Gloria, nor because you are unwilling to share these things with her. ]

[It’s just that you don’t want Gloria to worry about you because of Hai Si’s affairs, and you don’t want this Hai Si’s affairs to affect Gloria, who has a bright future.]

【Finally, after a day of preparation, a day of revision, and a day of hesitation. 】

[You finally mailed the letter to the address that Goletia gave you a few months ago, and waited with some anxiety and anticipation...]

[This wait lasted for several months.]

[In fact, you could have used a faster and more convenient private terminal to contact Goladia. ]

【However, due to the special nature of Goletia's study place, you were not allowed to contact the other party through any means other than letters.

Now, considering the need to avoid suspicion and not knowing the current status of Goletia, and not having the other party's terminal number, you can only communicate with the other party in this primitive way. 】

[Fortunately, Goletia is very efficient. ]

[It can be said that the day after receiving your letter, Goletia, who knew the purpose of your letter and the commission, began to use the power she had obtained and began to investigate the information you wanted to know. After collecting some of the information she could know at the moment, she decided to tell you all of it without reservation.]

[It's just that...Gladiya is a little too young after all.]

[Although relying on her own talent and partly because of her biological mother, she quickly entered the core department of Agor and even became the candidate for the Deep Sea Hunter project. ]

[But she had only been in the upper echelons of Agor for less than five years.]

[After touching some information and data that should not have been touched, although Godetia's reasons were legitimate and the subsequent handling was also in place. ]

[But she was still inevitably targeted by the real old thing, and thus planted the seeds of endless troubles for the future...]

[A few months later, you, who had been worried about losing money in the flower shop and even lost a lot of weight, finally received a sealed expedited letter and a safe delivered by someone.]

【They obviously come from Goletia.】

[You opened the letter with great anticipation and joy, but the smile on your face gradually disappeared and was replaced by seriousness.]

[Then you locked your flower shop without hesitation, closed all the curtains, returned to your room, and silently opened the safe.]

【A black terminal was taken out from it.】

[And the moment he opened it, he contacted Golettia who was in a secret room far away in the capital of Agor.]

[Looking at the fully grown Goletia, you almost didn't recognize her at first. ]

[She has changed a lot. She has become more beautiful and taller. It even seems that she can easily pick you up. ]

[Subconsciously, you want to measure the height difference between Goletia and you.]

[But after realizing that this was just a projection of Gloria, she awkwardly touched her head and smiled, like a stupid older sister.]

[And when Gloria saw you like this, she was still feeling very depressed because she had discovered some secrets.]

[But seeing you as beautiful as she remembered, Gloria heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile like melting ice and snow appeared on her cold face.]

[The originally dull atmosphere between you soon became lively because of this. ]

[You were not in a hurry to ask for the answers you wanted to know, but instead talked to Gloria about your daily life over the past few years and asked about each other's lives.]

[Golatia truthfully told you about her experiences in the past few years since she left you, and showed you the white gentian flowers that grew from the seeds you gave her.]

[You are very happy, not only because the flower is well taken care of by Gloria, but also because you heard from Gloria that she is living a good life and has met many good people, such as enthusiastic mentors, like-minded mentors, strict but serious seniors, etc. ...]

[Then you told Gloria about your experiences over the years, and told her about Laurentina and Skadi without reservation, and told her about some of your daily interactions that you thought were very heartwarming.]

[But... maybe it's your illusion. You always feel that when you talk about these daily life, the gentle smile on Gloria's face will occasionally flash a little cold.]

[But this is an illusion, right? ]
