I asked you to write a light novel, but you wrote about living?

[That scared me to death! I really thought they were going to gouge out my eyes.]

That's why this thing is called an "eye," not ordinary glasses.

This technology isn't exactly new these days.

[The external sensory transmission device was incomplete, and its connection channels were at least two hundred years behind.]

Are you reading a novel or a device manual?

[The story is clearly not set in the present; let's continue.]

The initial reading experience felt somewhat unfamiliar to readers accustomed to interstellar mechs, wasteland battles, and hardcore cybernetic modifications.

Yet it also has an indescribable comfort.

The story begins uneventfully.

Some parts are even beautiful.

The main character is going on vacation.

On the other side of the eye is a young girl who cannot leave the space station herself and longs to see grasslands and flowers.

She didn't ask the protagonist to visit any famous tourist attractions.

They didn't express any particularly complicated wishes.

All she wanted to do was go to the grasslands.

So, the protagonist, wearing those glasses, left the city.

When the vast meadow first appeared before her eyes, the girl immediately became excited.

She told the main character to walk slower.

Slower.

She wanted to see the inconspicuous wildflowers among the grass blades.

I want to feel the breeze blowing past me.

I want to reach out and touch the cool stream water.

A single flower could amaze her for a long time.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

Even a gust of wind could make her let out an uncontrollable cheer.

Occasionally, a few comments appear at the bottom of the reading page.

[So it really was just shared vision. This idea isn't exactly new, but Yu Huashi's writing is really smooth; I can almost feel the wind from the grasslands blowing on my face.]

[She just saw a flower, how could she be so happy?]

[We spend every day in holographic capsules, seeing views a hundred times more beautiful than this, yet we're not as happy as she is.]

Holographic scenery is ultimately fake.

[This girl must be sick. She probably has to stay in the sterile ward, which is why she can't get out.]

[This should be a healing story. The protagonist travels in her place, and in the end, her illness is cured, and the two of them go to the grasslands again.]

[Finally, it's not about violence anymore.]

[When that old scoundrel Yu gets gentle, he's surprisingly deadly.]

Just as most readers were becoming engrossed in the story, other voices emerged.

[As expected, another young girl unable to leave her hospital room.]

[We just finished telling a story about a terminally ill child in real life, and now a frail girl is appearing in the novel.]

The formula is already obvious: first, depict how pitiful she is, then arrange her death to harvest tears.

[How far have you even read before you've already defined the entire novel?]

[She hasn't even explained why she can't go out, and you already know it's a terminal illness?]

Whether it's playing the victim or not, at least watch the whole thing before you judge.

As readers delve deeper into the story, more and more are convinced that it is simply a healing tale.

The girl may have some kind of illness.

Or perhaps due to work, one lives in a closed space for an extended period of time.

She just can't see the grassland with her own eyes for the time being.

There will always be other opportunities in the future.

As a result, the readers who were initially on edge gradually relaxed.

People started discussing the sensing technology in the story.

Some people recalled when they last truly left the city.

Many people also said that after watching the holographic video, they would turn off the device and take a walk in a real natural area.

But as the story unfolds little by little...

Comments are starting to decrease.

The girl cherished everything on the grassland to an excessive degree.

She wouldn't miss a single flower.

They wouldn't miss a single sound of the wind rustling through the grass.

Even a single raindrop falling on her face could silence her for a long time.

This doesn't seem like someone who is temporarily unable to leave their home.

It's more like someone who's afraid they'll never see these things again.

Where exactly is she?

[Sterile ward?]

What kind of illness prevents even wind and sunlight from reaching you?

Could they be space workers? Living on a spaceship for extended periods, which is why they can't see real nature.

A near-Earth space station is possible, but real-time sensory transmission is impossible during deep space travel.

They'll always come back, right?

[It should be possible.]

Otherwise, this story would be too cruel.

Readers continued to offer their own guesses.

Most people believe that although the girl is temporarily trapped in a closed place, she will eventually leave one day.

Once the mission is complete.

As long as the disease is cured.

As long as the spacecraft returns.

She always manages to stand in the sunlight and touch the flowers with her own hands.

However, the plot progressed calmly into the middle and later stages.

The protagonist's vacation is over.

That short trip also came to an end.

As more information emerged, the girl's true situation was finally revealed.

At that very moment.

The gentle and calm words in the story seemed to suddenly tear open a bottomless crack.

All the readers were pushed off without warning.

That girl wasn't in any sterile ward at the hospital at all.

It is not in a space station orbiting the Earth.

She is a navigator for a ground-based spacecraft.

The "Sunset 6" she was aboard suffered an accident during a deep-sea exploration mission.

The spaceship lost power.

They could never return to the ground.

She is not in heaven.

It is under everyone's feet.

Deep within the Earth, more than 6,000 kilometers from the surface.

Outside the spaceship, there are temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius and unimaginable pressures in the liquid iron and nickel.

No rescue equipment could get there.

No one was able to bring her back.

The spacecraft has enough energy remaining to keep the life support systems running for decades.

This should have been a good thing.

But for that girl, it meant she would have to stay alone in a cabin of less than ten square meters.

More than 6,000 kilometers underground, away from the rest of the human world.

In absolute isolation and deathly silence.

Spend the rest of your time.

When this text appears on the screen.

The comment section of Weiguang Literature suddenly stopped.

In every corner of the StarNet, countless readers felt their scalps tingle and their breath catch in their throats at the same instant.

Dead silence.

A full three minutes.

The number of readers continues to climb at an alarming rate.

However, none of the comments that had been constantly refreshed appeared.

Until three minutes later.

【Hold!!!】
