Nan Youxi didn't expect that the main perspective she had just selected would actually become the main perspective.
The "I" in the simulated text is undoubtedly Liuli.
After briefly reading the beginning again, Minami Yuxi understood Liuli's thoughts. A timid and introverted girl who wanted a friend who could pull her in to play mischief, this friend was originally Rinrinka, and later Kobato.
Recalling the last simulation life, Nan Youxi confirmed this guess that Xiaojiu had been pulling Liuli forward.
But isn't Xiaojiu the younger sister? Why did Liuli say that Xiaojiu is the name of the older sister
He first sent a message to Ichinose Shiori, asking her to investigate Rinrinka, and then he continued to read the simulated text.
[My grandmother told me that I once had an older sister who spent her short life in the hospital.]
[I put all my expectations for Rinrinka into this sister I had never met. When I was sitting in front of my desk and daydreaming, I imagined what kind of clothes she would wear and how she would step on the puddles on the roadside if she were still alive, and how she would force me to step on them, even if I said I didn't want to.]
[On my birthday, my parents asked me what I wanted, and I said I wanted a sister. They laughed happily, and I laughed back. Of course, I knew that having a sister was a ridiculous thing.]
[I smiled sadly, and when my parents gave me gifts, I became even sadder. They gave me a teddy bear and a picture book. I didn’t like dolls or books. I wanted a baseball bat. I thought the sound of the bat hitting the baseball was very nice. Whenever this happened, the camera on the TV would look up, and the blue sky it captured was very vast.]
[I imagine that if my sister were here, she would use tape to roll up the picture book into a baseball bat, and tear off the feet of the stuffed bear to make a ball. The sound of the book hitting the ball of the bear's feet must be very pleasant.]
[I comforted myself with such illusions, and I found new pleasures. This is the blind man's fantasy of light, and the patient's dream of health.]
[I sat in the classroom, imagining my sister pulling me to run on the playground; I sat at the desk, imagining my sister holding me to break branches suitable for swords.]
[The naughty sister's figure can be seen in every corner of the village.]
[Only my sister's figure remained. I didn't know when I had gotten rid of the illusion.]
[It took me a long time to realize that it wasn’t that I forgot myself, but that I had entered my sister’s body.]
[I made detailed settings for my sister.]
[Initially, there were only three settings. Because she is my elder sister, she is taller than me; because she is my elder sister, she has the same face as me; because she is my elder sister, she is very naughty.]
[Since I said I wanted a sister and my parents laughed at me, a new setting was added. It was also at that time that my illusion changed from my sister and I to only my sister.]
[I think my sister can’t be my sister because my parents have denied her existence. Also, if my sister were at my house, I would have to imagine how she would interact with my parents, which would be too much work.]
[I decided to find a new home for my sister.]
[The family at the end of the village is the one I finally chose. ]
[The house is now empty. The couple who inherited the house went to work in other places. My parents said they rarely come back.]
[I have never met them and I know nothing about them, so I think they are the best choice.]
[I imagined that my sister lived alone in that house. Because there was no parental control, she could appear and disappear at will, and she lived a wanton life.]
[My fantasy continued until the third grade, when something big happened.]
[Grandma passed away.]
[My parents have been very busy with work in recent years. After my grandmother passed away, they had no time to look after me. I was sad about my grandmother's passing and confused about my current situation where no one was taking care of me.]
[I stepped on the puddles on the muddy road and broke branches to practice swordplay. Happiness did not come. I felt guilty and empty.]
[I realized that I was the only one who could not do it. I did not have the seeds of a naughty ghost, so no matter how I watered it with evil deeds, it would not produce seductive flowers.]
[I summoned the illusion of my sister, but the illusion can only do fantasy evil and cannot affect reality. ]
[I can only withdraw from reality and let my sister return to fantasy. ]
[One month after my grandmother passed away, the village held another funeral. The deceased was the husband of the family at the end of the village, and he left behind a wife and a daughter.]
[That family is exactly the family I set for my sister. ]
[I felt panicked. I thought they would never come back, so I never dared to go to the end of the village again. I thought of Schrödinger's cat. My sister was the cat. If I went to that family, it would be like opening the lid of the box. The cat's life or death would be frozen in that moment.]
[I tried my best to avoid that family and that mother and daughter.]
[I was too optimistic because I couldn't hide forever; I was too pessimistic because I assumed that there was a cat's body in the box.]
[It was almost summer vacation, and my parents were on a business trip, so they left me at a relative's house. There was only a kind old lady in my relative's house, and I called her grandma.]
[I met the girl I had been avoiding in my grandmother's yard.]
[At the time, I thought I was still in an illusion, because the girl I saw was half a head taller than me and looked exactly like me.]
[That’s my imaginary sister.]
[I walked up to her and tentatively called her sister. She happily held my hand and taught me how to catch insects to feed the ants on the ground.]
[She was very skilled at catching insects, and the mud stuck to her hands and smeared her face.]
[She is very naughty and treats me very kindly.]
[I am more certain that this is my imagination, she is my imaginary sister.]
So, at dinner, I saw my grandma preparing her bowl of rice and heard her talking to her. I was shocked and my mind was confused.
[My grandmother told me that she was the daughter of the family at the end of the village, and her name was Xiaojiu.]
[I couldn't believe my ears. The girl at the end of the village had the same face as me, was taller than me, was very naughty, and was called Xiaojiu. Isn't this the sister in my imagination? ]
[I thought of that conjecture. Yes, the cat may not necessarily die, but may still live.]
[In the illusion, my sister, who was in a superposition state of life and death, truth and falsehood, collapsed into reality due to my observation.]
[There is only one discrepancy. Xiaojiu is younger than me. We were born on the same day. I was born at 12:10 and she was born at 12:15. She is the younger sister and I am the older sister.]
[I think the hospital's time is inaccurate. A five-minute error is common. Xiaojiu must be my sister.]
[I was extremely happy, I was sure this was a miracle from God.]
The simulated text stopped temporarily here. Nan Youxi continued her thoughts, but a new pop-up window appeared.
[…]
The text on the pop-up window seemed to be loading, so he first reviewed the text from Liuli's perspective.
The Xiaojiu that Liuli imagined really appeared in front of her, and everything was exactly the same as her fantasy.
Liuli and Xiaojiu are the same person, Xiaojiu is Liuli's fantasy, that is to say, Liuli is the main body and Xiaojiu is the secondary body.
Once you understand the main and the deputy, everything will be easy to solve.
All we need to do is let the secondary body return to the main body, and let Xiaojiu's liveliness and cheerfulness return to the introverted and cowardly Liuli.
Liuli wants to become Xiaojiu, so let her become Xiaojiu.
Nan Youxi thought about the implementation plan and wondered how to give an introverted girl courage.
He believed that the problem had already occurred and he had grasped the truth. All he had to do next was to solve the problem and a happy ending would be achieved.
Until new words appeared on the new pop-up window, which overturned his judgment, surprised him and confused him.
