Although the other party asked "Which way should I choose", Tang Xinjue felt that she heard another sentence:
—Which way did I choose
Is what standing in front of her at this moment an afterimage left behind, or a person standing on the timeline of the past questioning the future
Tang Xinjue thought for a while: "This is a very difficult question to answer. Emotionally, I certainly hope that my answer will be helpful to you, but in fact, only you can give the answer yourself."
He said it, but he didn't seem to say anything.
Tang Xinjue knew that the stick figure in front of him, or Bu, disdained the choice of "surviving by idling".
However, in the unchangeable fact, he has chosen the latter, becoming the well-known Mr. Bu in the university town.
A late answer probably means nothing.
"However, you don't necessarily have to be lonely." She changed the topic, implying something: "No matter which road, there may not be only one person to choose."
If Mr. Bu, who is in charge of the research and development of tools, is one of the creators of the university city who is unwilling to leave completely, what about the "Wang Jiji Group" that has never appeared but is in charge of the technology of the university city
Twelve creators, only one left
Of course, she has no interest in studying the history of the university town, she just wants to send people away as soon as possible.
The stickman pondered: "Yeah... what you said makes sense. After all, this is my own business. What's the use of asking now..."
He lowered his head and put on a black hat for himself. The shadow under the brim stretched the stickman's face very long. However, just before leaving, Tang Xinjue called out again:
"Since you asked me, I also have something to ask Bu... classmate, do you have any extra student ID like this? I want to borrow it temporarily."
She pinched the three stick figure student ID cards on the table and asked naturally.
As the stickman left, the mental connection gradually returned to normal.
Zhang You and Wanqing noticed this and immediately spoke out first. Guo Guo followed closely behind, and only then did they realize that they were divided into three groups.
"The photo printer is here!"
Guo Guo hurriedly said: "I tried it just now, this machine needs to show the current photos. Only when the four of us are present can we get all the photos."
"Don't worry." Tang Xinjue's voice always had a calming force: "The key to go through the file room should be in my room. Wait a minute, I'll go find you."
Immediately, the spiritual connection was quiet for a moment, and the voices of Zhang You and Wan Qing also disappeared.
Guo Guo waited in front of the machine, in order not to miss the voice of his roommate, he didn’t even let out his breath. Fortunately, two minutes later, the movement finally reappeared—not from his head, but the voice in reality:
"Guoguo, help me push it."
There was a gap in the wall, and Tang Xinjue's head was exposed behind, blinking at her.
Guo Guo looked at the wall with cracks spreading, and was taken aback: "Didn't you say that there is a key?"
Tang Xinjue gestured downwards: "This is the key."
In her hand, the toilet handle was firmly attached to the wall like a doorknob, creating a "door" on the wall!
… Indeed, quite reasonable.
[The subject of the photo has been detected, please confirm that the posture is correct, the facial features are complete, and there are no fancy clothes...]
[Taking pictures... Ding! Photos are being generated...]
[The photo has been generated, please take it away... Ding! Additional requirements have been detected and are being processed—]
After finally taking the photo successfully, the small two-inch photo of the four of them has not popped up for a long time. After a while, following the mechanical beep, a line of text was displayed on the blue screen of the machine:
[The need for the new student registration database has been detected, and the photo is being transferred to the database... The transfer was successful.]
[Congratulations, you have completed the enrollment registration!]
Reported successfully
The four of them thought they would return to the reporting office with their photos, but they did it in one step in the projection room.
After running around, nervous and anxious all day, they were used to running, thinking and fighting all the time, so after completing the main task, they were still dazed for a few seconds.
Guo Guo looked around: "Have we passed the customs?"
Zhang You: "Not yet."
Although the main line has been completed, but the copy is still going on.
Open the test interface in the app, the prompt has been updated:
[Examination Progress: Main Quest 1/1; Side Quest 1/1]
[Congratulations, you have completed the registration for new students. From now on, you are officially a member of the University City, the strength of the University City is your strength, and the direction you choose is the future of the University City...]
[No need to say more sensational words, after all, along the way, no one knows the path in your heart better than you. So, why not go back to the dormitory and take a look? There may be surprises there.]
[Ding! Automatically accepted the side mission: Back to the dormitory 0/1]
[Note: There is no time limit for this task, and students can move freely in the university town.]
Several people noticed that the term used by APP has also changed from "candidate" to "student".
What does the main task of this graduation exam represent
Although there was no straightforward explanation, the four of them in 606 could feel that something was different the moment the registration was completed.
… It was a feeling of fuller, more defined, power than ever before.
When they projected their vision again, their eyes were like dust that had been washed away by clean water for a long time, and everything became extremely clear and stable, without that sense of strangeness and weirdness anymore.
To be precise, since they entered the game, the cold, dangerous and oppressive atmosphere that had shrouded them every minute and every second disappeared.
Guo Guo stretched out her hand unconsciously, although she only opened it in the void, but at that moment she had an illusion: it seemed that everything in the world was under her control.
When Guo Guo returned to his thoughts, he turned his head and found that Zheng Wanqing had also made the same movement as himself.
What she used was the silver arm made of metal.
In the next second, Guo Guo suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Wan Qing, your hand?!"
In the line of sight, Zheng Wanqing's silver arm gradually revealed the flesh color of the skin, and then spread rapidly - within ten seconds, it completely turned into a normal flesh body!
Zhang You: "Is this a customs clearance reward?"
Zheng Wanqing frowned: "No, I... I just had a thought."
The moment she opened her hand, a subconscious thought flashed through her mind as usual countless times. But this time, at the same time as the thought was born, it came true.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar right arm, Zheng Wanqing controlled it to turn a few times, as smoothly as if it had never been broken. Guo Guo touched her finger carefully: "It's really normal skin, I can see your blood vessels, it's the same as before!"
Zheng Wanqing's skin was fair, her palms were evenly slender, and her blood vessels were as prominent as Tang Xinjue. Seeing the faint blue blood vessels running along the knuckles and sinking into the palm lines, Zheng Wanqing clenched her fists: "More than that, wait a minute."
After all, she closed her eyes as if thinking about something, and when she opened her fist again, a silver streamer flashed across her arm.
The steel arm full of strength appeared under the arms again!
Can you control the shape of your arm just by thinking
After Zheng Wanqing confirmed this fact, the other three immediately tried it too. It's a pity that they soon discovered that only Zheng Wanqing could do this. At most, the three of them just made their eyesight and hearing more sensitive, their physical strength became stronger, and their speed became faster—other than that, there was nothing too extraordinary. Human-scale things happen.
"Fortunately, I almost thought we were going to become gods."
Guo Guo patted his chest, regretful and fortunate.
Although "God" is good, but if she had to choose, she still wanted to be an ordinary person and live a normal life in the real world, rather than being an omnipotent creator in a different dimension.
Having said that, Guo Guo also seized the time to tell others about the phantom he saw in the projection room.
They have basically shared what they saw and heard in the archives room, and when all the information is connected together, the background of the university town has already revealed a complete outline. But compared to the past of the university town, several people are more concerned about the present and future of 606.
After listening to Guo Guo's narration, Tang Xinjue thought for a moment and said, "Let's leave here first and go back to the dormitory to have a look."
If her hunch is correct, the dormitory may be the last scene to welcome them.
With the completion of the registration, the real door of the projection room also appeared in the middle of the cracked wall, stubbornly supporting a legitimate exit. Tang Xinjue put away the toilet, held the doorknob and pushed it open. Sunlight and fresh air poured into the lungs of the four of them.
Outside the door of the projection room is the dormitory area
Directly excluding their expected trekking process, the four of them looked at each other and entered the dormitory area. Gray-eyed teacher stood a few steps away and nodded towards them.
Although there is only one eyeball, no expression can be seen. But for some reason, the four of them seemed to see a smile from it:
"Don't call me teacher, the university city belongs to you now. I said that although the process is difficult, after the final success, what you get will exceed your imagination."
"Thank you, but for us, the most important and necessary thing is the freedom to finally return to reality."
Tang Xinjue replied.
Gray eyeballs froze for a moment: "... Is that so?"
This seems to be beyond its cognition and thinking range. It thought for a while: "No matter what, I wish you success. Go back to your dormitory and have a look, someone is waiting for you there."
Returning to the dormitory building, walking through the empty corridor, and standing in front of the familiar dormitory door, even though they had been "reborn", the tension still surged up in their throats.
Taking a deep breath, Guo Guo bravely pushed open the bedroom door.
I saw the door - empty
Clean and spacious small two-story, spacious and familiar dormitory space, without any outsiders. After confirming that the test information was not wrong, the four of them went in and looked around, but they didn't even see a stickman.
"Could it be stuck in a corner again?"
Guo Guo began to rummage around the corner, and bumped into the corner of the claw machine when he raised his head: "Oh! Oh, I forgot, now I don't feel any pain."
She rubbed her head and stood up, but her movements suddenly stopped:
"Huh? Come and take a look! Is there something extra in here?"
The three rushed over upon hearing the sound, and sure enough, they found a strange little doll in the corner of the claw machine.
If they read correctly, this doll with two braids and overalls was still looking out angrily.
Could it be...
The doll was thrown by the mechanical hand to the exit of the claw machine, and the moment it fell out, a smell of tar smoke rose, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with twisted braids stood on the ground with her arms folded.
Seeing the girl with a stern face, obviously unable to get off the stage, Zhang You coughed and gave the other party a step: "This machine doesn't work well, it always starts up randomly."
"Yeah." The braided girl said quietly, "If you guys don't come back, I'm going to stay there for eternity. At that time, the University City will find out that their home appliances and mobile phones will never be produced again, because I was forced to A claw machine was taken away!"
"..."
Guo Guo reacted: "You are, that king—"
The girl stretched out her hand, covered with a pair of thick labor protection gloves: "It's the first time we meet, hello, my name is Wang Jiji."
