Starting from the Possessed Shipgirl

He sat on the bench, looking at the empty square, and asked with a little surprise.

"Hmm..." Essex came back to his senses, blinked, and said, "Well, there's nothing to do here normally? But..."

"But what?"

"If everyone knew the commander was here, the square would be packed with people within ten minutes, right?"

Huang Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a picture emerged in his mind: the square was crowded with people, and they all came for him...

He shuddered, shook his head and said, "It's better to take it slow."

"Hmm..." Essex didn't say anything. He just looked at him silently, then looked ahead curiously, as if waiting for something.

Soon, a figure appeared at the door of the command building not far away.

Her hair was silver like a waterfall, with a confident smile on her face. She was wearing a white navy coat, a shirt, a pleated skirt and black over-the-knee socks underneath, which made her tough temperament a little soft and cute.

She looked around the square, then smiled over here, walked quickly, and stopped in front of the bench, "Commander?"

"Hmm..." Huang Xi nodded, not knowing what to say, and just touched his chin, "Enterprise, sit down."

"Hmm..." The girl nodded, said hello to Essex beside her, then sat next to him and said with a little amusement, "I thought the commander would wait for a while before coming to see me."

"Why?" Huang Xi was stunned and asked in confusion.

"Commander, aren't you worried about being sliced?" the girl jokingly asked.

Essex burst out laughing, then felt less serious and pursed his lips, pretending nothing had happened.

Huang Xi looked at her helplessly and said seriously, "That's... literally. Of course, I haven't met you yet, so I thought it was an unnatural event, and I was afraid of being caught and sliced ​​by researchers."

"Uh..." Enterprise was stunned for a moment. After a long while, he smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "In other words, I was actually overthinking some things?"

She thought of the guesses she had made with New Jersey before and came up with various possibilities, but she didn't expect the answer to be so simple?

Doesn't this mean that if I had been a little tougher that day, I would have recognized the commander long ago?

Essex subconsciously wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate, so she held it back and her face became puffy, looking very uncomfortable.

"Maybe you're worrying too much." Huang Xi shook his head, looked at the girl again, and said helplessly, "Laugh if you want to. This matter is indeed a little funny."

"No, I don't want to laugh." Essex said with a straight face, pretending to be serious.

"Forget it if you don't want to laugh." Huang Xi shook his head and looked at Qiye. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "By the way, what was the situation when I came to the port area before?"

"Before?" Enterprise blinked, his eyes showing a thoughtful look, but he still said, "Yesterday, the commander should have possessed Washington..."

"It's not that close." Huang Xi interrupted directly, "I don't have Alzheimer's. Of course I remember who it happened to yesterday. I was asking about the one that happened a long time ago, almost a year ago. I saw it in some group before."

"In the JUUS group?" Essex said on the side.

"The key is not what the software is called." Huang Xi was a little speechless, but he did feel a little surprised. It turned out that the software was called "JUUS", and it seemed to be the same in the game.

Enterprise understood what he meant. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Just like before, come to the port area by mental projection."

"Spiritual projection?"

"Well, a very unique way." Enterprise explained, "You came here, arranged some daily work, such as commissions, teaching, etc., and then chatted with some sisters, and then left."

"Chatting? Like now?"

"No." Enterprise shook his head. "To be precise, should we go to everyone's dormitory and say hello to everyone? At that time, the commander... seemed to be unable to hear us. Bumblebee sometimes wondered if there was something wrong with the commander's hearing."

"Is that so?" Huang Xi roughly understood it, and at the same time felt it was very strange. The behavior in the game was projected into reality, so it was normal for some strange things to appear.

After all, there is no way to communicate with the girls in the game. Apart from those specific lines, there is nothing else.

"However, the commander can still hear the words at the critical moment." Enterprise continued, his face slightly red, as if he was embarrassed, "Just like when we made the oath..."

"Hmm..." Huang Xi nodded, not knowing what to say, but he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Enterprise was wearing a simple ring on his left hand.

He looked back and found that not only the enterprise, but also Essex had some in his hands, and even he had some in his hands.

"But other than chatting, other interactions are very normal, like touching the head, touching... well, that kind of place." Enterprise continued, his face turning even redder, with a pinky feeling.

Huang Xi was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Where?"

"That's right... Commander, don't you like to go to places like that?" Enterprise asked, "Every time you come to the port area, you will first look for the secretary ships..."

Essex next to him seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned red, as if blood was about to drip out.

Huang Xi suddenly thought of something. The secretary ship is actually more like a poster girl in the game.

Except for a line that pops out from time to time.

Interactions such as patting the head will have additional lines, and some special interactions will also have special lines.

His face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, and he hurriedly explained, "I remember, um, sorry, I was, uh, anyway, sorry, this..."

Enterprise was stunned, but waved his hands with a somewhat amused look and said, "No, it's okay, Commander, there's no need to be like this. We're all used to it."

Although it sounded like words of comfort, Huang Xi didn't feel comforted at all, and his face became more and more embarrassed. "There's no need to get used to this kind of thing... Let's change the subject."

"Okay." Enterprise also nodded. After all, she was also a girl.

Even talking about these topics with the commander would be embarrassing.

The same is true for Essex.

"Well, then..." Huang Xi paused, calmed himself down, and then asked, "Do you know... the nature of this world?"

Chapter 124 Games, Experiments, and the Beginning of the End of the World

The nature of the world?

As soon as these words were spoken, Essex's signature cute expression suddenly appeared on his face.

Enterprise smiled and said, "Commander, are you trying to say that this is just a game world?"

"Ok?"

Huang Xi was stunned for a moment. The cuteness on Essex's face seemed to be contagious to him. After blinking, he finally reacted and asked, "You already know?"

He said this with a complicated tone, and it seemed that the girls had a really good attitude.

Even though he knew he was just a character in a game, he didn't seem to care.

He is in trouble. If he finds out one day that he is just a fake portrait of a person...it seems like there is nothing he can do?

I just hope that the guy who plays his account can top up some happy beans, there is no fun in the game just by grinding!

"Yes, but there seems to be a gap between my understanding and the Commander's." Enterprise blinked, then explained, "For the Commander, it may just be a game. But for us, it is the real world."

"I understand, it's a different dimension." Huang Xi pushed his glasses, looking like he knew everything.

Don't be fooled by his current appearance, he was actually a top student in the lower grades of elementary school.

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square and square root within 100 can be answered in seconds.

Naturally, I also have some understanding of the theory of the low-dimensional world.

"No, there is no difference in dimension." Enterprise shook his head, "In terms of energy level, there is no difference between our world and the commander's world."

"Eh? Is it a parallel world? Then why..." Huang Xi didn't quite understand. Since it was a world with equal energy levels, why was it just a game in his world?

"This is very complicated, and I'm not very good at these theories. Commander, you can regard the game as a projection. Although it seems that you are operating the game, you are actually communicating with us."

"I..." Huang Xi opened his mouth, but finally gave up thinking. There was no point in thinking so much. As long as he knew that his girl really existed, that was enough.

"I was struggling at first with how to tell everyone about this."

He shook his head, and suddenly he didn't know what to say. He stared blankly at the bushes not far away.

This square is so quiet. I sat here for nearly half an hour and didn’t see anyone else. There was only the occasional sound of wind blowing through the leaves.

Enterprise looked at him silently, his purple eyes flashing with a thoughtful look. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "So, what do you think of the experiment, Commander?"

"What do you think of the experiment?"

"That is... Commander, do you think we need to suspend the experiment?" Enterprise said, his delicate face without much expression, looking very serious.

Essex was completely confused and sat there in a daze, totally confused as to how the topic had suddenly turned into this and why such an experiment had to be suspended all of a sudden.

Huang Xi was also confused, looking at the girl in confusion, "Why do we need to pause? Are there any difficulties in the experiment?"

"Difficulties? There are no difficulties. As long as the commander agrees to continue the experiment." Enterprise said, his body posture relaxed a lot, as if he was relieved.

Essex did the same, a small smile forming on his face.

Huang Xi still didn't understand and continued to ask, "Why do you think I want to suspend the experiment?"

"Because, hasn't the Commander been to the port area for a long time?" Enterprise said softly with a gentle expression.

Although we already know that the commander did not deliberately avoid everyone during the experiments, he has indeed not been to the port area for a long time.

Maybe it's boredom, maybe it's something else, but there is a reason.

She couldn't pretend not to care.

Huang Xi understood, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then explained, "This..."

But before he could finish his words, Essex answered, "It's a long story."

The girl blinked at Huang Xi, as if she was asking for credit.

Then, under Enterprise's puzzled gaze, he explained, "I asked the commander before, and he replied that it was a long story, and that by a long story he meant that he didn't know how to explain it."

"Is that so?" Enterprise immediately realized that the commander did not want to talk about this topic.

Her heart sank, but she still showed no expression on the surface. She smiled and nodded, saying softly, "I understand."

"No, you misunderstood. I really didn't think it through before." Huang Xi shook his head, "But now I have figured it out."

Essex looked at him, eyes full of disbelief, why did it always take so long for her to ask questions?

Enterprise's eyes lit up slightly. Since the commander was willing to explain, it meant that the situation was not as bad as she thought?

Huang Xi ignored the girl's gaze, and after a moment's consideration, he said, "Well, it's just that something has happened in my world, a little... rather serious."

His eyes fell on the bushes not far away, but they were not focused and he didn't know what he was looking at.

But in his mind he recalled the time when the world went off the right track, and there was a hint of emotion in his words.

"Probably... a very serious disease suddenly broke out, killing 99.999% of the world's population in one go, and then the world started to go haywire."

In fact, he didn't really know what was going on. He just remembered that the whole world suddenly became strange one afternoon.

Familiar teachers and classmates suddenly died, lying on the streets and parks. Of course, the largest number of them were in places like classrooms and markets, packed like sardines in a can.

I spent the first day in fear, thinking that maybe someone would come out to take charge of the situation. But on the second day I discovered that those people in the security station were also lying on the ground sleeping.

Or maybe everyone in the city was lying on the ground sleeping - this was the conclusion he came to on the third day.

It took about a week to collect food and medicine, find clean water, and build shelter.

It took about a year to grow vegetables, hunt wild animals, learn how to survive in the wilderness and live alone.

"But it was just a little bit chaotic at the beginning, but then it gradually got back on track. Basic living needs and the like were no problem, but the time I spent logging into the game was indeed getting less and less."

Huang Xi said this and spread his hands to indicate that he had finished speaking, but the girls did not react much.

Essex tilted his head with his mouth slightly open, looking a little silly and cute, and said nothing.

Enterprise also looked at him in confusion, and was a little disappointed at first.

Because if this is an excuse, it is too perfunctory and casual.

Just like those bullshit stories Sims told Harmanman.

But then she noticed the look in the commander's eyes.

His gaze passed through Shangri-La's plain glasses and amber eyes and looked directly at the commander he was familiar with.

Enterprise was stunned for a moment, then horrified, and asked, "Commander, are you kidding?"

"No." Huang Xi shook his head.

"Why didn't the commander tell you about this earlier!" Enterprise stood up suddenly, took two hurried steps, and returned to his chair, looking a little at a loss.

Essex was completely confused. She opened her mouth slightly for a long time but didn't say a word.

"What did you say earlier?" Huang Xi asked with amusement. Then he thought of something and added, "And I probably won't be able to log in again. The database was destroyed in a landslide. Only one photo of Saratoga was salvaged."

At this point, he frowned slightly, thinking that it should be considered a photo of Saratoga, right? It could also be considered a headshot.

"Whether you can log in or not is not that important." Enterprise regained his composure and opened his mouth, "Whether it's mental projection or what's going on now, it's just a means of communication. The most important thing is Commander, I'm glad you're okay."
