07. Realize the true and wonderful principles of Bodhi, break the devil and return to the original s
【Dream Failure】
[Escape from the dream...you slowly wake up]
Musu and Transparent Bridge returned to their respective wooden houses. The familiar sounds of waves and noise reached their ears.
There is darkness in front of me, waiting for the system to settle.
[Settlement Completed]
[The current difficulty is: Nightmare]
[The current difficulty is nightmare, and a special world view will be loaded]
[Hidden main task: Obedient. Reward: 10 teeth (failure)]
What follows is a long period of darkness, as if giving the player enough time to think.
[You feel something passing around you...]
[The gaze of the indescribable thing: ignore]
[The gaze you receive will affect the attitude of a specific character towards you in nightmare and above difficulties. When the attention reaches a certain level, random events will occur. 】
What is surprising is that the failure of the copy will still be noticed by some beings.
The checkout page ended and the two returned to the chat room.
Transparent Bridge (all): I'm sorry, I...
Finally escaping the nightmare, she breathed a sigh of relief. But her thoughts were disordered and it was difficult to think normally.
There is an invisible horror to this game mode. No one wants to suddenly wake up when doing something: Am I in a game or reality?
This feeling is definitely not good.
Mu Su (all): It’s nothing, it’s impossible to clear the level anyway.
Transparent Bridge (all): This dungeon... violates the Petra Law, right?
Mu Su (all): You have suffered a terrible disaster. How about it? Were you killed?
Transparent Bridge (all): Hmm...what does "unexpected disaster" mean?
She was embarrassed to say that she committed suicide.
Musu (all): It means literally.
Mu Su seemed to have no intention of explaining too much, and Transparent Bridge could not concentrate on thinking about what the literal meaning meant. He simply gave up and asked: "What about you? What have you experienced?"
She somewhat wanted to know how Mu Su survived the diary.
Mu Su (all): Since I was recruiting assistants, I went to the basement to find tables and chairs for working. Then I walked up the stairs for a long time. When I came out, I arrived at a beach. The voice asked me to go to the wooden house, so I went. There was a
The ugly monster banged on my door, dug holes for me to fall into traps, and molested me. I resisted in every possible way to subdue it, but the sound made me go to sea again and disappeared.
Mu Su is not very good at narration.
And I am also embarrassed to say that I fell into a trap I dug myself.
Transparent Bridge was stunned, and replied for a long time: "Why is it different from me? Mine is..."
She briefly described it, not wanting to recall too much.
Transparent Bridge (all): ...I plan to give feedback to the game company later.
Mu Su (all): We are different!
Transparent Bridge didn't know what to reply to Mu Su, so he had to change the topic: "Speaking of which, why did you say before that this dungeon was impossible to clear?"
Mu Su (all): Haven't you noticed? It keeps leading us into more dangerous situations, forcing us to choose not to obey the whisper's orders, or to obey it and die.
Transparent Bridge (all): What if we say no?
"That would be easier. The main task is to require us to be obedient. If we refuse, we will be directly judged as a failure."
Transparent Bridge was about to think about what Mu Su said, but suddenly he was startled, feeling that something was not quite right about Mu Su.
The chat content presented in text made Demusu look far more serious than before.
Transparent Bridge (all): I probably understand... Sure enough, none of the nightmares and dreams can be taken advantage of. There is another question, what is the background of this dream...?
She is still brooding and eager to know why she is going through this.
Mu Su (all): The, Deep, Dark, Fantasy.
A deep and dark fantasy... Transparent Bridge pondered in his heart.
Transparent Bridge (all): I probably understand. I will read relevant books about the 21st century when I have time. But... why do you know this?
It seems to be related to the copy, and Transparent Bridge feels a little suspicious.
Mu Su (all): Huh... mortal wisdom, human nature is bad. Since you asked sincerely, then I will tell you with great mercy——
Sure enough nothing has changed.
Transparent Qiao chuckled, and replied without waiting for Mu Su to finish: "I'm a little tired, so let's do this first, then get off."
Her mood was a little depressed, and she chose to log off after speaking. She sent a letter to the game company, explaining what happened in the dream.
She will not log into the game for the time being until the incident is properly explained.
Mu Su also exited the chat room. Lying on the wooden bed, he glanced out the window and chose to log off.
…
Mu Su took off the game mask.
It was as if real starlight was pouring in from the window.
Mu Su didn't open the detective agency just for fun, he took it very seriously.
Since you are serious, you can't fool around. Mu Su stood by the bed, crossed his hips and looked around the room.
The bedroom is not small. After placing a large bed, there is still a lot of extra space, which is more than enough for a desk and chair.
But the problem is——
Mu Su scratched his head and turned his attention to the big bed.
If the room is used as a detective office, wouldn't it look unprofessional to put a bed in it?
Although Mu Su likes a big bed very much, and he also likes to lay it on the big bed to form a Tai character, or to lie on it and arrange it to form a Wood character when he is hard. But for the sake of career development, he resolutely decided to change it to a small bed.
In the middle of the night, without any sense of ethics, this guy went to the old couple's room and knocked on the door. After explaining his purpose, the old couple expressed support for his actions. After all, this would make the place livelier. Maybe there is a single bed in the basement.
Yes, it can be replaced tomorrow morning. There is nothing you can do about the office desk and chairs.
As mentioned before, Musu was an impatient person who put on his pants mid-poop. How could he wait until tomorrow morning? After asking about the location from the old couple, he ran to the basement - and finally came back empty-handed.
He suddenly felt that a bigger bed would be very convenient.
History is always surprisingly similar, but there are always differences.
…
Transparent Bridge took off his mask, and his delicate face looked haggard and pale that could not be concealed.
Her short black hair is messy and scattered in front of her forehead.
She stared blankly at the ceiling and let out a long sigh of relief. Then she thought of something and her expression froze.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the table opposite the bed.
All I saw was an empty table...
Still empty.
Oh please, you are not really stupid enough to think that there is a diary on the table.

*Petra Decree: A federal decree promulgated in 2214. Virtual reality games are strictly prohibited from containing content that confuses the game with reality.
*The establishment of this law originated from a third-generation game called "Between Reality and Virtuality" released in 2213. The game element allows players to interact between the game and reality. A woman named Petra Owen
After playing for five days, it became difficult to tell the difference between the two, so I opened the hatch during a mission and was sucked into space.
*A total of eighteen citizens, including Petra Owen, were killed or injured because they were unable to distinguish reality from playing the game.
