Who knows? This person's fragments of consciousness have been following me

Lin Chao stroked the jade pendant in his hand. After a long silence, he asked, "Why do you want to carve a white tiger jade pendant?"

Mu Bufan said softly: "That time when you were drunk in Donglecheng, you kept shouting... Dabai."

Lin Chao suddenly clenched the jade pendant in his hand.

"I asked you who Dabai is, and you said he is the tiger king of Youyou Mountain. Although I don't know what kind of story you have with this tiger, I think it must be very important in your heart."

Mu Bufan held Lin Chao's hand and said, "Brother, do you like this jade pendant?"

"......Hmm." Lin Chao took a deep breath, "You said before that you often dream about looking at the stars. Are you still dreaming about this now?"

Mu Bufan frowned and shook his head, "My dreams keep changing, and the dreams I've had recently are very strange."

"Strange?" Lin Chao put down the jade pendant and looked at Mu Bufan.

"Recently I've been dreaming about fighting monsters." Mu Bufan lamented, "There are so many monsters transformed from insects, I can't fight them all."

"Those bugs are so powerful. They can emit light from their eyes. That light is scarier than spiritual power."

Mu Bufan hugged Lin Chao with lingering fear, "I must have had this nightmare because you were not by my side."

Lin Chao: “…”

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Mu Bufan, from now on, tell me your dreams every day."

"Brother, are you interested in my dream?" Mu Bufan asked.

Lin Chao pondered and said, "I want to explore one thing."

"Okay, I'll tell you every day from now on." Mu Bufan took out another gadget.

"Brother, take a look at this, do you like it?"

He took out one novelty after another.

“......What are you doing......” Lin Chao was almost buried by these things.

Mu Bufan finally took out a black bamboo fan. He opened it and saw "safe and sound" written on one side and "happy and blessed" on the other. "Brother, do you think the words I suggested are good?"

Lin Chao nodded, "Very good."

"For you." Mu Bufan handed it to Lin Chao.

He looked at the bed full of gifts and smiled, "After staying here for so long, they are finally being given away."

Lin Chao lowered his head and touched the words on the fan.

Seeing Lin Chao's peaceful attitude, Mu Bufan couldn't help but hold Lin Chao's hand and said, "Brother, I will try my best to make you like me. Except for leaving me, I can't promise you anything else. I can listen to you."

"You can express your dissatisfaction with me. If you think there is something wrong with me, just tell me and I will change it! As long as you like it..."

Lin Chao pulled his hand back and said calmly: "I like the bugs in your dreams. You can become that kind of bug."

Mu Bufan: “…”

Lin Chao opened the gifts and sat back on the head of the bed, his mind in a state of confusion.

Mu Bufan sat down next to Lin Chao. He raised his head and closed his eyes. "Brother, when should we set the date for our wedding?"

Lin Chao: "...No rush."

"Okay, there's a lot of time to come, let's take it slow." Mu Bufan said.

"......I have a question." Lin Chao felt helpless.

Mu Bufan opened his eyes and looked at him, smiling gently, "Brother, please speak."

"Two years have passed, why do you still like me?" Lin Chao asked.

"Brother, I don't know where the love comes from, but it is so deep."

Mu Bufan stretched out his hand and pinched Lin Chao's face. "Since I like you, no matter how much time has passed, no matter what you become, I will always like you."

Lin Chao chuckled, "You are quite good at talking..."

Mu Bufan held Lin Chao's face and said, "Brother, I only said what was in my heart."

The affection in his eyes overflowed, and Lin Chao felt a little flustered.

He slowly pulled Mu Bufan's hand down and whispered, "I want to sleep."

"Okay, senior brother, I'll sleep with you." Mu Bufan hugged Lin Chao.

Lin Chao was quiet for a while, then sighed, "I have something to tell you."

"Mu Bufan, I am full of demonic energy. If you stay with me for too long, you will be affected. What's more..."

"You are extremely talented in cultivating immortals. Given time, you will surely ascend to immortality. But if you hang out with me, it will do you no good but only harm."

"But senior brother..." Mu Bufan wanted to argue.

"Mu Bufan, think about it carefully. If you stay with me for too long, you will be contaminated with evil spirit. If you are not careful one day, you may become a demon. Do you really want to become like that?" Lin Chao was really afraid that the protagonist would accidentally become a demon.

That would be completely contrary to the character's setting, and I don't know what the consequences will be.

"Don't worry, senior brother. I will control my inner demons and will not turn into a demon." Mu Bufan comforted him.

"Mu Bufan... I am a demon now, you shouldn't have locked me up here. You can either kill me or let me go, this is your choice." Lin Chao lamented.

"This is the choice you gave me, not mine." Mu Bufan suddenly stood up, "Brother, if you want to sleep, go ahead. I'll go outside for a while."

Lin Chao looked at his back and shouted, "Mu Bufan! Have you forgotten the blood oath you once swore?"

Mu Bufan paused.

"Don't do anything that you will regret." Lin Chao advised.

Mu Bufan paused for a moment and sneered, "Brother, life is unpredictable, so no matter what choices people make in their lives, they will always regret it."

"My parents passed away suddenly, my senior brother turned into a demon, and the people in the sect left and ignored me. I know very well that regret is useless, and the most important thing to do is to cherish every moment."

"Brother, I cherish you very much."

Mu Bufan opened the door of the cave and walked out.

Lin Chao leaned quietly against the head of the bed, looking at the dim cave, and called out: "System."

[Host, are you finished?]

Lin Chao: “…”

You changed the system.

Lin Chao said helplessly: "Are you sure that Elvis, Dabai, and now Mu Bufan are just a string of data?"

[Of course it is data. I am a good system. I only rescue human consciousness that has entered the virtual world. I will not bind human consciousness to this data.]

[You see, I don’t allow you to attach to these data, but to digitize your consciousness, all for your convenience.]

"But Mu Bufan...his dream was actually related to Elvis and Dabai." Lin Chao felt a slight pain in his heart.

[It may be a coincidence.]

The system said to Lin Chao again: [Host, I did not see any human consciousness in Mu Bufan's string of data, so he is really just a string of data.]

Lin Chao shed a tear, "So is it really just a coincidence..."

The system sighed: [Host, while completing your mission, you must also distinguish between virtuality and reality. If you fall in love with virtual data, you will be the only one who suffers.]

"I understand." Lin Chao sniffed and pulled the quilt over himself.

[You will get used to it after visiting a few more worlds, host.] The system has a host who has visited seven worlds and has become numb to it, and his emotions are not affected at all.

Although the numb consciousness is somewhat powerless to promote the plot, these consciousnesses can return to reality if they persist for a few more worlds.

Maybe everything will be fine if we return to reality.

Although the deal between the system and these human consciousnesses is somewhat shady, it will indeed send them back to reality in the end.

As long as the hosts hold on, it will be fine.

Lin Chao silently clenched the corner of the quilt.
