Collapse Simulator, why are we drifting apart?

"Cough, cough, cough!"

In the darkness, on a soft bed, Fan Mu suddenly opened his eyes and began to cough violently. He took several deep breaths before his breathing gradually stabilized.

Relying on his vague memory, he barely found the switch in the house, and the whole room lit up instantly. The light was not very bright, but it was so bright that he could hardly open his eyes.

It took a while to calm down.

Fan Mu reached out his hand and felt around his body, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar small carriage, he sighed heavily, and collapsed back onto the bed.

"This is... back." He stretched out a hand and raised it in front of his eyes, blocking out most of the light, and his voice was filled with confusion and reluctance.

"Xie'er..."

"Okay, stop being sentimental and look at the reward."

The sudden voice in his mind interrupted his sadness. There was a hint of excitement in the voice, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to the so-called reward that would follow.

Fan Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he should not bring the emotions of the virtual world into the real world, but every minute and every second in that world, the warm family affection he felt in that world gave him a real feeling.

He knew that was because of the powerful computing power of the system, but when the virtual world was no different from the real world, was it really still a virtual world? Could it be considered another parallel universe?

"it is good."

He shook his head, not wanting to think about it anymore and unable to figure it out, so he forced himself to shift his attention to the panel that suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Congratulations to the host on successfully completing the simulation and mission.

Received: Three-star rating.

Mission Reward: An unknown light cone, keep the items obtained during the simulation, increase the resistance to collapse, and restore...

Rewards are being issued...Issuance failed...Warning, abnormal data is found and rewards are frozen..."

The sudden warning stunned Fan Mu.

"System, what's going on?"

"Don't shout, I'm checking!" The system was obviously facing this situation for the first time, and its tone was full of dissatisfaction, "What the hell? I've seen a reward for over 100 years, and you confiscated it. Is there any law? Is there any justice?"

"Damn it... If you don't give me an explanation today, I will go to the Lord God and file a complaint against the Reward Distribution Department."

"..."

Fan Mu felt a little tired. He rubbed his temples and planned to take a nap. He was a little tired. After all, he hadn't slept for almost two days in the simulation.

I was just about to turn off the lights and go to bed.

crunch.

There was the sound of a door opening. It was very quiet at night and he could hear it clearly.

Looking towards the door, he saw a head poking out from behind the door, looking around the room, and finally his eyes fell on him, smiling and waving at him.

The expression looks a little awkward and unnatural.

"Are you still awake?" March 7 walked into the room, and she regretted what she said the moment she said it. She put her hands behind her pink hair naturally and awkwardly, her eyes wandering.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you? Miss March 7th." Fan Mu said tiredly.

"It's nothing. I just saw that you left the light on when I returned to the room. I was worried that you might not be used to it on your first day on the train, so I came to check on you." San Yueqi waved his hand quickly.

Fan Mu wanted to say something before he heard her say it.

"Well, I see you're a little sleepy, so I won't disturb you for now! Good night!"

After saying that, she quickly walked out the door and closed it behind her.

After going out the door, San Yueqi choked up.

"Strange, how did I get in without knowing what was going on?"

She scratched her head in confusion. Although she was indeed a very enthusiastic person, she shouldn't take the initiative to enter the room of a man she had only known for one day on the first night, right?

Looking at the door that closed again, Fan Mu swallowed the words of thanks he wanted to say.

"weirdo."

He commented thus.

Memories of her began to emerge in his mind, as if he had been very enthusiastic since he arrived on the train.

This enthusiasm is not like the friendly exchanges between strangers, nor is it like the enthusiasm between friends. It is more like...how to say it...it's hard to describe.

He also confirmed that he didn't know her, and he didn't see any familiarity in the other's eyes.

He shook his head to stop thinking about it and just as his finger touched the light switch.

crunch.

"........."

Fan Mu saw a dog with gray hair poking its head in.

The other party noticed his gaze, and instead of showing the expected panic and embarrassment, he suddenly became serious.

Xing walked into his room openly. If he hadn't seen her sticking her head out and carefully observing the room like a mouse, and if he hadn't heard the knock on the door, Fan Mu would have thought she was a guest from afar.

"Excuse me, Miss Xing?" he asked curiously.

Xing had a conflicted look on his face, and finally pointed his finger at his own face, "Excuse me, do you know me?"

"Of course I know you, Miss Xing!" Fan Mu said with a smile on his face, "We met not long ago. I was paying attention when you introduced yourself!"

Hearing his words, Xing shook her head, "That's not what I'm talking about. I mean, have we met before?"

"Uh... I don't think so." Fan Mu's face showed a thoughtful look, "I remember that Miss Xing lost most of her memory when she introduced herself. It's possible that I look a lot like one of your friends!"

"Is that so?"

After getting this answer, Xing frowned slightly. She always felt that it was not the case, but she couldn't put her finger on why.

Suppress the throbbing in your heart and go back first.

She walked towards Fan Mu and left. But when she left, she looked back and said hesitantly: "How about we try sleeping together? Maybe I can remember it this way!"

Fan Mu: "...?"

After a short while, she finally returned to her room.

At this time, Fan Mu put his hand on the light switch again, looked around, and finally no one disturbed him this time. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the light, and prepared to go to bed.

"Hey, hey, don't sleep, don't sleep!"

The system in my mind made a sound at this time, and there were constant echoes in my mind, just like when I was a child in school, the school leaders were testing the microphone, and I happened to be standing under the loudspeaker, making my head buzz.

"How do you sleep at your age?"

The system's voice was filled with dissatisfaction and depression.

"What's wrong?" Fan Mu asked with a heavy sigh.

After such a commotion, the sadness in his heart was really gone, not even a drop left.

"Don't mention it. It's so unlucky." The system's voice sounded very uncomfortable, as if it had eaten a fly.

"It was the Lord God who suppressed the reward this time!"
