Lin Shen stared at the flickering data stream on the screen, and the cherry blossoms in the holographic projection were fluttering down at his fingertips. As the chief engineer of the VR dating system for “Fantasy World”, he has just completed the 37th scene optimization.
The tester’s data is normal, “assistant Xiao Tang’s voice came from behind,” but today there is a special user who logged in at 2 am for three consecutive days, with each stay not exceeding 15 minutes
Lin Shen retrieved the user profile and found that the avatar of ID “S” was just a blurry light and shadow. This month, he has received countless love messages, but he has never seen such a mysterious existence. When the system prompted “S” to go online, he inexplicably put on his neural connectivity helmet.
Under the cherry blossom tree, a woman in white is facing away from him. Her waist length hair shone like pearls, and her skirt was rippled by the virtual spring breeze. Lin Shen noticed that she was wearing a silver ring on her left ring finger, with an unrecognizable pattern engraved on the ring.
You’re here. “At the moment the woman turned around, a corner of her veil was lifted by the sudden wind, revealing snow like skin and a teardrop shaped mole at the corner of her mouth. Lin Shen’s breath paused, and the scene was strikingly similar to the portrait of his mother in his childhood memories.
Why is it always late at night? “He heard his voice trembling strangely. The woman’s fingertips gently caressed the cherry blossoms, and the petals turned blue under her touch: “Because during the day… I don’t belong here
In the next three weeks, they became regulars in the virtual world. S took him to the top of the Eiffel Tower to watch the aurora, exchanged heart rates in the underwater castle, and even wrote vows on the surface of the moon with stardust. Lin Shen realized that what he was most looking forward to every day was the brief 15 minutes at 2 o’clock in the morning.
Until that rainstorm night, S suddenly said, “Let’s meet.” The holographic projection shook violently, and Lin Shen saw the metallic luster flashing behind her, like the reflection of some kind of gun.
Wait! “He instinctively reached out, but only caught a fragmented stream of data. The monitoring screen suddenly turned red, indicating that the login IP of user “S” came from the open sea.
Lin Shen stood backstage at the press conference, his palms sweating profusely. Today is the official launch date of “Fantasy Covenant”, and he invited “S” as a special guest.
Mr. Lin, it’s your turn to deliver a speech, “the voice of the etiquette lady awakened him. As the spotlight shone on him, he suddenly saw the familiar woman in white smiling at him in the first row below the stage.
Su Wan took off her sunglasses, and the silver ring on her ring finger reflected a cold light under the light. As she stood up and walked towards him, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd. Three men in black pulled out their weapons, while Su Wan’s movements were lightning fast.
Lin Shen felt the sky spinning and the earth spinning, and the next second he was already pressed under her. Bullets flew past his ears, leaving scorch marks on his expensive suit. Su Wan swung his sleeve sword with a backhand, accurately cutting off the sound line and plunging the venue into darkness.
Follow me! “Her cold palm gripped his wrist and led him towards the safe passage. In the dim light of the emergency light, Lin Shen saw the barcode on her neck, which was a special mark of Interpol.
Who are they? “Lin Shen stared at the vehicles relentlessly chasing in the rearview mirror, his voice still calm. Su Wan drove with one hand while rapidly tapping on the in car system with the other: ‘People from the criminal group, they want the brain computer interface technology you developed.’
Lin Shen suddenly remembered the anonymous acquisition offer he received last month, where the other party offered three times the company’s valuation. He thought it was just an ordinary business competition at the time, but now it seems
Why did you choose me? “He turned to look at Su Wan, who was changing clothes. She had already shed her delicate makeup as a model, revealing the eagle shaped tattoo on her collarbone. Because of your mother, “Su Wan buttoned up her tactical vest,” she was my mentor who disappeared three years ago while investigating human experiments
The car suddenly jolted violently, and Su Wan slammed the steering wheel into the garbage bin on the roadside. The rear car was unable to dodge and caught fire in a series of collisions. Lin Shen’s head hit the car window heavily, and blood slid down his cheeks.
Hold on! “Su Wan tore open his shirt and treated the wound with a first aid kit. When her fingertips touched the birthmark on his chest, her pupils suddenly contracted. That is the same phoenix totem as her mother’s relic.
In the underground laboratory, Lin Shen is fixed on the operating table. The researcher wearing a gas mask was debugging the instrument while Su Wan was locked in the iron cage across from him, with blood stains on her lips.
You got it wrong! “Lin Shen struggled.” The system I developed is not aggressive! “The man in charge took off his mask and was clearly the CTO of his company. But what we need is the brainwave weapon prototype left by your mother
Su Wan suddenly chuckled and said, “Do you really think you can control it?” She bit through the capsule hidden in her molars and began to convulse. Lin Shen watched in horror as blue blood vessels appeared under her skin, a side effect of the new combat potion.
Start the system! “Shouted the CTO. At the moment when the electrode pierced Lin Shen’s temple, his consciousness fell into the familiar cherry blossom forest. This time, the falling petals are all dark red.
Welcome to my field, “Su Wan’s voice came from all directions. She was wearing a black combat suit and holding a long sword condensed by data streams. Behind her, Lin Shen saw countless semi transparent figures, all victims killed by human experiments.
The final showdown takes place at the intersection of virtual and real worlds. Su Wan used his consciousness to visualize the image of Lin Shen’s mother, and CTO collapsed in fear. When the instruments in reality exploded, Lin Shen saw Su Wan’s smile gradually dissipate in the data stream.
Lin Shen stood in front of the tombstone and placed the white chrysanthemum in front of his mother’s and Su Wan’s joint burial tomb. The explosion three months ago destroyed the laboratory, but Su Wan’s body has never been found.
I know you’re still alive, “he whispered into the air. The wind swept over the tombstone, and a silver ring rolled down at his feet. The pattern on the ring reveals hidden words in the sunlight: “The illusion will eventually come to an end, and the true heart will never last
The phone suddenly shook, and an anonymous number sent a message: “Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock, Sakura Avenue.” Lin Shen looked up and saw a familiar figure reflected on the glass window of the street corner coffee shop.
The woman in white turned around, her veil blown by the wind, revealing a teardrop mole at the corner of her mouth. This time, she didn’t disappear.
