To Sutta

"He's fine, he won't be really injured in reality." Lu Mo pulled him up from the ground, doctors and nurses stood in front of them, Su Ta regained some strength, stood firmly and stepped back.Surrounded by several doctors who followed, the two walked towards the end of the corridor.

"These people... what's the matter?" Suta raised his hand to wipe away the blood that blurred his vision, and stared blankly at the doctors carrying machine guns in an extremely sturdy posture.

"...Lin Ling hasn't told you yet?" Lu Mo paused hesitantly.

"I know that this world is fake, and I probably understand the cause and effect of things." Suta looked at Lu Mo, "But the memory of the first eleven reincarnations in my mind is still blank, and there are many things I don't understand about this world. "

Lu Mo seemed to be thinking, and began to explain after a few seconds.

"For safety, Lin Ling added a defense system to your world code before, with a total of three levels. These people are the second level of defense, the self-defense of the scene characters." Lu Mo said while walking: "I will talk about these later, Get out of here as soon as possible while they are still few. In the real world, there is still a team of men in black cracking the firewall here. They are all tricky people. Trojan horses will invade the hospital in a short time, and they must enter the security isolation area as soon as possible. "

"Safe quarantine area?" Suta was full of doubts.

"It's the strongest part of the firewall. Where do you think it will be?"

In a flash of inspiration, Su Ta immediately had the answer in his heart: "Go home."

The two hurried downstairs, several doctors escorted them to the parking lot, three doctors sat in the back seat, and the rest turned and went back.

Lu Mo sat in the driver's seat and drove unimpeded all the way.Suta saw the pedestrians outside the window habitually trying to hide, so as not to let others see this embarrassed look, but realized something, a little lonely, looked at the city scene in front of the car, and murmured: "This world... except You, I, Lin Ling, and the group of men in black, and the rest of the people and things, are all fake..."

It was already evening, the sky was dark, and there was still unmelted snow on the ground.There are people coming and going on the street, which is extremely lively.

Lu Mo was silent for a while, and half-jokingly said: "Actually, sometimes I am a fake."

Suta looked at him with raised eyebrows, but the blood on his face was scabbed, and this subtle movement was met with considerable resistance.

"I'm not Lin Ling. He can give up his job and stay with you in virtual reality day and night. I want to go to work to make money. So most of the time you see me as a code."

Suta frowned slightly, "Then what about his real life?"

"Our genius programmer, Lin Ling, has disappeared since your death. A year later, he found me and asked me to assist him. I was lucky enough to witness such a thing that subverted history. I wished for it, so I agreed. In fact, he has been When changing residences, you hide your existence very well, and sometimes even I don’t know his specific whereabouts. I have no way of knowing how his life is.”

Lu Mo turned the steering wheel, and the car turned into another road. "But it's easy to figure out. If he divides the day into two halves, he will spend about twelve hours in virtual reality, seven hours of sleep, and five hours of real life."

Su Ta listened to each word, and suddenly felt a sudden tug in the depths of his heart. The pain made him clenched his hands tightly, and bitterness gushed out like a flood.At the same time, he suddenly figured out the reason why Lin Ling was not at home that night.

Human consciousness can only be connected to virtual reality when he is awake. When Lin Ling falls asleep, his code disappears.

It can be said that Lin Ling disappeared every night, but Suta never noticed it, because Lin Ling went to bed almost at ten o'clock on time, no matter how busy he was at work, he was never later than twelve o'clock, and Suta was never in Woke up in the middle of the night - maybe Lin Ling added some programs to prevent him from waking up.And the role of the blue chip was to destroy the program, prompting him to wake up, and thus see the strange night view of the city.

"...There is a man in a peaked cap, the one who was the leader of the group of men in black just now." Su Ta remembered him, and told Lu Mo about the incident in the bathroom, wondering: "Didn't he want the source code? Why did he want the source code? Instead of taking me away directly, but giving me the chip in a circle?"

"What you saw at that time might not be him, but a series of images." Lu Mo said: "Think about it, maybe you can remember it. During the ninth reincarnation, this place was breached. At that time, it was almost impossible to defend. Wait, Lin Ling and I have been chasing the code for two days and two nights in a row before finally turning the tide."

"But that Trojan horse almost infected the whole world, and it was Lin Ling who wiped it out bit by bit, and barely recovered after two months. But there are still some hidden codes that are difficult to detect, which may be touched at any time and any place, leading you to discover the truth, Break with Lin Ling."

Su Ta listened silently, although this still couldn't arouse his impression, but he suddenly remembered Lin Ling saying to him, "I have known you for 13 years", and felt bitter in his heart.In the seven years when Lin Ling was tossed between virtual and reality, he, Suta, could forget every pain and start over like a blank sheet of paper, but Lin Ling couldn't. Tragedy prevented.

If I remember correctly, this is the fifth month that he and Lin Ling have been together. Not surprisingly, two months later, the world will collapse and rebuild again, and he, Su Ta, will lose the memory of this reincarnation again.

Suta leaned his head back on the seat, closed his eyes, then opened them again, looking at the small piece of sky that could be seen outside the car window.The winter sky is gray, as if it is about to snow.

If, all this can end...

Suta clasped her hands and asked herself.

Would you be willing?

The soft lights of the house came on, and the three doctors escorted them to the door and went back.Lu Mo sat on the sofa and quickly wrote the code, Suta went to the bathroom to take a shower, washed off the dust and blood, and changed into clean clothes.

"If you're tired, you can go to sleep. It's nothing serious now. Lin Ling's firewall is notoriously impenetrable." Lu Mo said lightly, but Su Ta saw the unconcealable worry on his brow.

Suta stood for a while, knowing that he really couldn't help, so he went back to his room to sleep.He was indeed very tired, stuck in the bed, fell asleep after a while, and fell asleep amidst the faint pain in the bones all over his body.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt someone sitting by the bed, in the darkness, gently stroking his hair.

Su Ta struggled to open his eyelids, only seeing Lin Ling's blurred facial outline.He snorted slightly, but still couldn't stop the heavy sleepiness, and closed his eyes again.

Around midnight, Suta woke up with unbearable pain all over his body, moved a few times on the bed, and slowly sat up.The door was closed, and there was a glimmer of light in the crack of the door——Lin Ling and Lu Mo were not asleep yet.

He stood up and walked to the door. He originally wanted to meet Lin Ling in the living room, but he heard the voices of the two talking.Even though his voice was very low, he still felt that the two of them were very unhappy.

"Two months? Do you think just the two of us can withstand them for two months?" Lu Mo's tone was very irritable, "Master, do you know who those people are? The two of us can last a day without being demolished." Just rejoice!"

Lin Ling was silent.

There was a silence in the air, and Lu Mo said: "...Lin Ling, don't you regret it? You agreed, this is the last reincarnation, if you can't save him, I won't help you no matter what. "

"I know." Lin Ling's voice was very low, "We can last for another two months, there is still a way. I will talk to Suta carefully, and when I go through this reincarnation completely... I will end the procedure by myself .”

Lu Mo sighed heavily: "When did you not say that?"

"I promise, this is the last time." Lin Ling said.

Suta lowered his eyes and leaned his forehead lightly against the door, feeling slightly cold.The next second, he took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out.

In the living room, the eyes of the two people were focused on him, and they didn't speak.

After a long time, Lin Ling came forward and seemed to want to say something, but Su Ta was one step ahead of him.

"Don't wait until later, Lin Ling, let's talk now..."
