After Wu Haojun arrived at the palace, Jiang Xiaoyu pulled his consciousness back to his body.
Jiang Xiaoyu sat up from the bed, stretched out his limbs lazily, then bent his neck and looked at the [pen] on the side.
"Xiao Xiao, why do I feel not tired at all?"
The [pen] replied: "Master, you are in Wu Haojun's spiritual world. Your body has been lying here to rest and get enough sleep, so when you come back, you feel full of strength."
"So that's it..."
Jiang Xiaoyu moved his limbs and felt stronger.
As if thinking of something, Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the [pen]: "Xiaoxiao, this body is just a program and not my own. Why do I feel so energetic after a good sleep?"
"Master forgot, this is your own request."
Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and nodded slightly: "I almost forgot that when I created the world, I required everything to be very real..."
"If the master doesn't like it, Xiaoxiao can help the master modify this setting."
Jiang Xiaoyu waved his hand: "That's not necessary. The closer it is to reality, the stronger the sense of immersion will be!"
"Master, as long as you are happy."
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the [pen] in front of him and suddenly felt very strange.
"Xiao Xiao, I encountered some strange things in Wu Haojun's spiritual world before."
Hearing what Jiang Xiaoyu said, the [pen] jumped in front of him and said very seriously: "Master, if you don't understand anything, just ask Xiaowei."
Jiang Xiaoyu said: "In Wu Haojun's spiritual world, your form was once a [long sword]?"
The [pen] smiled and replied: "Master, Xiaoxiao can appear beside his master in any form, and the long sword is just one of them."
Jiang Xiaoyu had a suspicious expression on his face: "Then why do you appear in Wu Haojun's spiritual world?"
The [pen] replied: "The master has forgotten that this so-called 'reality' is just a 'virtual world' created by Xiao Xiao for the master."
Jiang Xiaoyu murmured: "Yes, I almost forgot that this is just a virtual world."
"Master, everything here is based on the computer simulation environment and uses virtual character avatars as the carrier, so you can do things that cannot be done in the real world."
Jiang Xiaoyu still didn't quite understand: "Then why can you appear here and also appear in Wu Haojun's spiritual world?"
The [pen] replied: "Wu Haojun's spiritual world is also part of this virtual world. Everything is in the program set by Xiaoxiao for his master, so Xiaoxiao is everywhere and can appear in
Anywhere in the world!”
Jiang Xiaoyu fell into a brief thought, and then asked: "So what happened to [Tiangong Danbi]? Is it another clone of you?"
The [pen] replied: "When this world was first set, these nine divine tripods were the origin of the entire world, and they also symbolized the highest power in the world. Xiaoxiao wanted to supervise the world for his master, so in the divine tripod
There are nine [artifacts] left in it, and the [Tiangong Dan Brush] is just one of them."
Jiang Xiaoyu rubbed his chin with one hand and murmured: "It seems that although I created this world, I still don't understand many things here!"
The [pen] smiled and replied: "Master, everything here is just a tool for you. You can do whatever you want in this world, but you don't necessarily need to know the principles and structures of everything."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyu nodded: "You are right, even if I am a 'game developer', it is impossible for me to know every point of the entire game."
Jiang Xiaoyu can be said to be the creator of this world, and this world is just a game to him, so it is very appropriate to describe himself as a game developer.
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoyu was still in a daze, the [pen] jumped on his arm and said to him: "Master, do you still have any questions that you don't understand?"
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the [pen] and suddenly said: "Xiaoxiao, do you know what I am thinking about now?"
The [pen] shook its head in a cute way: "Xiao Xiao doesn't know."
Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and then said: "So you are not omnipotent. You can change any material in this world, but you cannot control human nature."
The [pen] nodded: "This is the master's initial request. You want this world to be more real, and everything will have countless unknown changes. But if the master doesn't like it, Xiaoxiao can
Help you..."
Before the [pen] could finish speaking, Jiang Xiaoyu interrupted directly: "If I don't like it, you can help me modify this setting! I feel sick hearing these words."
The [pen] said respectfully: "Master, this little existence will always serve you!"
"Serve me?"
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the [pen] with doubtful eyes, and finally couldn't help but said: "I suddenly feel that I haven't returned to my body for a long time."
Just listen to the [pen] say: "Master, you mean the body in the real world?"
Jiang Xiaoyu looked firm and nodded heavily.
"Master, don't worry, time in this world passes very slowly compared to the outside world. Therefore, the master's true body has only stayed for ten minutes. You can enjoy this world with confidence and boldness, even if you wait until tens of millions of years later.
It’s no problem to go back!”
Jiang Xiaoyu's face became a little stiff.
Tens of millions of years later?
When that time comes, can you still remember what you were like before?
I’m afraid that by then, I will have already lost myself!
Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "Xiaoxiao, I want to go back and have a look at my own body."
The [pen] seemed to be stuck for a moment, and then he replied to Jiang Xiaoyu: "Okay, Master, Xiaoxiao will take you back to take a look."
…
So Jiang Xiaoyu lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his own bedroom.
Jiang Xiaoyu took a deep breath.
The taste of home.
Everything familiar.
That already yellowed bed sheet.
Jiang Xiaoyu's fingers lightly traced the bedside, as if he had been gone for a long time, but also as if he had never left.
It seems like nothing has changed.
Everything is exactly the same as when I left.
Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes fell on the table.
That pen is lying there quietly at this moment.
It is through this pen that Jiang Xiaoyu created a world of his own.
"Xiaoxiao, are you still there?"
Jiang Xiaoyu said to the pen.
"Xiao Xiao" is the name given to this pen by Jiang Xiaoyu.
Whenever Jiang Xiaoyu encounters a problem, this pen always answers the question.
However, this time, there was no response.
In the real world, Xiaoxiao is just an ordinary pen.
"Am I really back?"
Jiang Xiaoyu looked around and said to himself.
Is everything in front of me necessarily real?
You know, Xiaoxiao is completely capable of fabricating a world exactly like what he remembers.
Jiang Xiaoyu walked to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. The more he looked at it, the more unfamiliar the face in front of him became.
Jiang Xiaoyu fell into silence.
Returned to the bedroom and lay down on the bed again.
Now, he doesn't believe anyone.
Even Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoyu made up his mind to rely on his own ability to explore the truth.
He already had a preliminary plan in mind.
To complete this plan, Wu Haojun is the key!
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoyu lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and returned to the virtual world again.
As the creator of this world, Jiang Xiaoyu can enter anywhere in the world at will.
Jiang Xiaoyu opened his eyes and was still on the bed in the imperial study room.
Not much time passed.
Jiang Xiaoyu looked around, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in his heart: "There is indeed a problem, Xiaoxiao must be hiding something from me..."
That [pen] saw Jiang Xiaoyu waking up and said to him: "Master, are you back?"
Jiang Xiaoyu nodded slightly and immediately rejected his judgment.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong. Xiaoxiao can completely change the time here and wait for me to come back."
Jiang Xiaoyu's face darkened, as if he was thinking about an extremely complicated matter.
The [pen] tilted its neck and looked at Jiang Xiaoyu: "Master, do you still have any questions that you don't understand? Do you need a little help?"
Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at the [pen] and said slowly: "Do you know what I am thinking about now?"
The [pen] had the same expression as before. It shook its head in a cute way: "Xiao Xiao doesn't know what the master is thinking at this moment."
Jiang Xiaoyu nodded: "Forget it, it's okay. How long have I been gone?"
The [pen] replied: "After the master left just now, the world stopped functioning. It did not resume normal operations until the master returned."
"That's true..."
Jiang Xiaoyu had a suspicious expression on his face, which he quickly covered up.
"Xiao Xiao, how much time is left until midnight?"
Jiang Xiaoyu looked out the window and said.
"Master, it is now 10:03:27 in the evening. It will be around 11 o'clock, which is midnight."
Jiang Xiaoyu said to himself: "In the future, I will get the nine divine tripods, and I will become a god! Become the true god who rules the entire world!"
"Okay, Master, you are the creator of this world. You can do whatever you want."
Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head: "This time, I don't want your help, I have to rely on myself."
"Okay, Master."
At this time, someone outside was heard shouting: "Generalissimo Wu Haojun, please see me!"
Um?
Jiang Xiaoyu was slightly startled.
Came so fast?
"Call him in."
When Wu Haojun entered the study room and saw Jiang Xiaoyu, his eyes sank and he walked towards him fiercely.
Jiang Xiaoyu quickly took a step back, thinking that Wu Haojun was still complaining that he had invaded his consciousness.
"I didn't do anything to you, I saved you, and I'm still helping you solve the case."
Jiang Xiaoyu said while retreating.
But Wu Haojun stepped forward, hooked Jiang Xiaoyu's body, and stabbed him in the heart with a knife.
