This second dimension is too immortal

According to Zhao Si's idea, Ying Lili can be the only two special cases, so her situation should be related to the mysterious side.

However, according to Niya, the story of Eriri's prank on someone took place in a completely modern world without any mysterious elements, and Eriri herself was an ordinary high school girl who had at most a hidden identity as a manga artist, and that was it.

Why is she a special case?

Zhao Si was silent. He lowered his head and looked at Ying Lili in Erya's arms with a puzzled look. However, at this moment, his eyes met a pair of watery eyes.

"Um?"

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Si looked at Ying Lili, whose eyes were wet and dull, and said, "Are you awake?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, without waiting for Eriri to respond, Niya, who was holding Eriri, also looked down at Eriri in her arms.

"Eri? Are you awake?" Erya also said.

Hearing this, Eriri's gaze began to refocus as she looked at the girl with short silver-gray hair in front of her.

"You..." She just looked at him, uttered one word, and then there was no further words.

She didn't know what to say. Although she was listening to Erya's story about herself, she was not really moved by it.

Although her eyes were moist and she looked like she was about to cry, Eriri knew very well that her reaction was not because she recalled the past because of what Erya said, but because of some reaction that she could not control at all.

Perhaps, my past experiences were really just as the other person said, so my tears could not be controlled and rolled around in my eyes, but why...

Why did it feel like she was listening to someone else's story? She felt no emotion corresponding to her physical reaction. The gaps in her memory weren't filled at all by hearing the other person's words.

After thinking for a while, Eriri slowly sat up under the gaze of the three people, and then glanced at them.

"Eriri?" Eriya looked at Eriri in front of him, and always felt that the situation she was showing at the moment seemed to be quite different from the arrogant golden-haired loser in his impression.

However, considering the complexity of the other person, Erya didn't care too much about it. After all, he had lost his memory, so it was impossible for him to wake up and be as arrogant as before, right?

On the other side, attracted by Erya's words, Eriri looked at Erya with a slightly hesitant expression.

"Um, do we know each other? Why do you know so much about me?" Eriri said.

"Uh, this..."

Unexpectedly, Eriri would wake up while she was telling her story, and it seemed that she had woken up a long time ago. Erya thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can't say I know you, but I have heard about your story."

"Have you heard..." Eriri muttered to herself with her head down.

Is this really the case? If she heard it from someone, then the person who told her these things must be one of the people in the story she told who had a close relationship with her. Otherwise, how could he know so much about it?

Having said that, Eriri didn't intend to delve into the matter further.

As she said before, she herself had no feelings at all about what Erya said. It was as if she was listening to someone else's story, except that the protagonist of the story happened to have the same name as her.

Eriri lowered her head and stopped talking, and Niya didn't know how to talk to her. The scene became quiet for a while.

"Okay, since there is nothing to do, let's go back." At this moment, Zhao Si suddenly spoke.

He glanced at Ying Lili and took in all of her reactions. After the scene quieted down, Zhao Si's curiosity, which had cooled down, began to beat again.

Interesting, it seems that things are not that simple.

At that time, Zhao Si could be said to have witnessed the entire process of Eriri from recalling the past to falling into a coma. Logically, although Eriri fainted because she could not bear the pain brought by the recovery of her memory, she should have remembered some past events after waking up. You can refer to Nanami Chiaki on the side. Her situation is not much different from Eriri.

Both of them fell into a coma due to the pain brought by the memories, and were later "forgotten" by the light column, but Nanami Chiaki has now recovered some of her memories.

In fact, if there is any difference between the two, it is probably that Nanami Chiaki woke up much earlier than Eriri. She woke up not long after she fainted, and then met Zhao Si who was about to leave.

In Zhao Si's opinion, Ying Lili's current situation is that she has not recalled any memory at all, and her reaction is very flat when listening to Erya's stories about herself.

This expression is obviously abnormal, but having said that, there is nothing worth exploring in the short term, and we can only wait and observe slowly later.

After Zhao Si finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Ying Lili and Nanami Chiaki.

"We're leaving now, so what are your plans? Are you going with us or are you going to stay here?"

Hearing this, Eriri remained silent with her head down, as if she was thinking about something, while Nanami Chiaki thought for a moment and asked, "Well, if I go with you, can I meet that... Miss Xiaowu?"

"Of course." Zhao Si nodded after hearing this. He believed that if Zhao Wu really knew Qihai Qianqiu, then Zhao Wu would go to Qihai Qianqiu on his own without him saying anything.

"In that case, then it will be troublesome. I will go with you." Hearing this, Nanami Chiaki nodded.

"What about you?" Zhao Si looked at Ying Lili again. She had now raised her head.

"What are your plans?"

"..."

Hearing this, Ying Lili looked at Zhao Si, then looked at Erya and Nanami Chiaki, thought for a moment, and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Anyway, I can't remember anything. So, I might as well leave with them and see what happens.

Following that short-haired woman might help me remember something.

Looking at Erya, Eriri thought to herself.

Chapter 550: Choice?

Time flies, and today is a day worth of excitement and anticipation for all players in Aincrad.

Because today, after one year, six months and eight days since the game was launched, thanks to the unremitting efforts of all the players in the strategy group, everyone successfully defeated the BOSS guarding the 99th floor of Aincrad, and pushed the strategy progress to the 100th floor.

They are only one step away, with only the last 100th floor left. As long as they can conquer the 100th floor in the future, they can completely beat this death game and gain redemption and liberation!

Players were all excited about this result and were looking forward to that day.

At the same time, in the 22nd level of the false hell.

It is said that fishing is addictive, which is absolutely true. Ever since the last time he fished, Zhao Si would run to the 22nd floor from time to time.

But for him, he doesn't care whether there is any fish caught. In fact, his fishing rod doesn't even have a hook or bait, just a fishing line. He often sits by the lake, swings the fishing rod, and then sits there all day long.

Zhao Si really likes the atmosphere when fishing. In the current situation where there is not much to do and there is no way to practice, fishing has become one of the few things that can interest him.

The reason why there is nothing to do is because Zhao Si has now absorbed the rules of the game world into his own body, so he has now become level one in Aincrad, and his own strength has also been greatly restricted.

There is no way around it. After all, if Zhao Si does not accept the rules of the game world again, then he will not be able to let Zhao Wu and the others enter the fake hell for training, nor will he be able to let them bring the BOSS information to the strategy team. Naturally, the strategy progress will be affected.

Although this trial mission seemed a bit confusing to Zhao Si, and he had no idea what the world consciousness wanted him to do, since it was a mission, he just had to do it according to the requirements.

Speaking of world consciousness, Zhao Si hasn't met them since the last time he encountered another world consciousness. To be honest, Zhao Si feels it's a pity. After all, according to "Yui's" personality, Zhao Si might be able to get some information out of her. What a pity.

In addition to these, there is also the situation of Aincrad turning virtual into real. At present, the first sixty floors have completely become the real world. It is estimated that in the near future, the virtual world rules of the entire Aincrad will completely dissipate and turn into a real floating city in the sky, integrating into the inner side of the sixth reorganized world.

During the period of constantly exploring this phenomenon, Zhao Si finally figured out the origin of Aincrad's transformation from virtual to real - the false hell.

Yes, the main reason why this happened in Aincrad was the fusion and collision of virtuality and reality. Aincrad and the false hell were originally two parallel and interrelated places, but for some unknown reason, the two areas gradually collided and merged.

This resulted in everything existing on Aincrad transforming towards reality.

As for the reason... Zhao Si didn't know. Anyway, let it be. Zhao Si was too lazy to think about it. Aincrad was about to be cleared, and I believed that would also be the time when Zhao Si's trial mission would end.

While quietly gazing at the fishing float on the lake that seemed to never sink, Zhao Si heard footsteps.

"Mr. Zhao Si."

The person who came stood behind Zhao Si and spoke softly.

"You're back, Asuna." Zhao Si said. He looked at the reflection on the water surface at the lakeside, where the girl's figure was clearly reflected.

Because it was the last level, the strategy team had held two consecutive days of meetings regarding the final strategy battle, and Asuna was the one who represented Zhao Wu and the others to attend the meeting.

“What was the outcome of the meeting?”

"The time has been set. We'll be preparing for the final strategic battle in half a month." Asuna said, and then she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Finally, this day has come..."

"Yes, it's not easy." Zhao Si nodded and said.

Although the whole thing was nothing to him from beginning to end, he knew very well that it was very difficult for Asuna and others.

"If it succeeds, then we can go back to reality, right?" Asuna sat down next to Zhao Si and said absentmindedly while looking at the rippling water in front of her.

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something. She turned her head to look at Zhao Si's profile, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Hey, Mr. Zhao Si, we, we are lovers now, right?"

As she spoke, the girl moved her position to Zhao Si's side and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Why do you ask this specifically?"

Hearing this, Zhao Si looked at Asuna strangely, then continued, "Of course it is. What's the matter? Is our strategy capturer, Miss Ghost, thinking of changing her mind now?"

Zhao Si smiled as he spoke, then stretched out a hand and held Asuna in his arms.

"That won't do. Since I've already recognized you, you will always be my lover. No one else can change you."

"How, how could that be? I won't regret it. I am so sorry to Mr. Zhao Si..." Asuna said with a red face, feeling Zhao Si's body temperature. It was the first time she heard Zhao Si say such words. Besides being surprised, she also felt a little happy.

"Ha ha..."

Looking at Asuna's embarrassed expression, Zhao Si laughed and found it very interesting.

But after laughing, because of Asuna's words, Zhao Si also began to think about Asuna.

There is no doubt that after the 100th floor is conquered, Asuna and the others will definitely return to their original time. This will not change even if Asuna and the others have undergone the transformation from virtual to real, because they essentially belong to the surface world.

As for Zhao Si, he naturally returned directly to Gensokyo, but in this case, he and Asuna would probably have to be separated for a period of time.

Because as of now, there are many different situations in this world. Zhao Si is not sure whether he can open up the passage between Gensokyo and this world as before, and leave a world gate connecting the two worlds in this world.

After recovering his cultivation, Zhao Si had tried to see if he could summon the gate to the world in the floor that had turned into the real world.

And the result, of course, is no.

The door to the world cannot be opened, which means that Zhao Si and even the people in Gensokyo will not be able to return to the sixth reorganized world in a short period of time.

Unlike in other worlds, Zhao Si knew very well that Asuna had her own family in reality and they cared about her very much.

In this situation, if Zhao Si told her about his situation, she would probably face a dilemma.

Should I go to Gensokyo with Zhao Si? Or return to the real world?

I have to work overtime today and will not be able to get off work until around 9pm. I don't have much time to write, so I'm taking a day off.

Chapter 551 A Familiar Voice

"Then I'll go back first, Mr. Zhao Si." Asuna said to Zhao Si on the lakeshore.

"Ah."

Hearing this, Zhao Si nodded, and then quietly watched Asuna's back as she left.

Zhao Si did not tell Asuna immediately about the question in his mind.

However, after thinking for a long time, Zhao Si has now figured it out. He decided not to confront Asuna until the problem of traveling back and forth between the two worlds is resolved.

After all, if Zhao Si is ultimately unable to build a bridge between the two worlds, then as mentioned before, if Zhao Si tells Asuna about his true identity, then Asuna will have to choose between her family and Zhao Si, which will undoubtedly be a very difficult choice for Asuna.

For Zhao Si, Asuna is someone he recognizes and likes, so he doesn't want to see Asuna fall into distress and anxiety because of such a choice.

"So, why is this world so special? I can open the door in other worlds without any problem, but why is it not possible here?" Zhao Si said helplessly, rubbing his eyebrows.

This was the first time he'd encountered a World Gate malfunctioning. If the World Gate here referred to his own castrated Noble Phantasm, it would be fine, but even the authentic World Gate couldn't be opened. It was too fake, wasn't it? Could it be that the level of the reconstructed world was higher than that of the ordinary world?

Not necessarily?

Zhao Si knew very well that the limitation on his ability to summon the World Gate wasn't the level of the world. Every time he tried to summon the World Gate, he could always sense that this world, compared to the worlds he had visited before, seemed to be missing something.

If I must make an analogy, then I can compare a world to a large terminal, Gensokyo to a small terminal, and the Gate of the World to the data cable that connects the two.

In the previous worlds, Zhao Si used the "data cable" to connect them comfortably, but the feeling this world gives Zhao Si is...

He had already taken out the data cable, but when he wanted to connect to this world, he couldn't find a socket for him to plug in the data cable!

It's as if this world is not prepared to intersect with other worlds at all.

Considering the description of this world in the mission and the information obtained from the two world consciousnesses, Zhao Si believed that he had found the reason why he could not summon the world gate.

"But this is too ridiculous. The door to the world cannot be opened, but I can enter this world as a player through this broken game terminal?" Zhao Si couldn't understand it now. He really couldn't understand why this was possible.

"...No, I have to talk to that kid." After a moment of silence, Zhao Si suddenly stood up, threw away the fishing rod in his hand and said.

Since it is a problem of this world, it is right to ask the world consciousness. No matter what, if Zhao Si wants to open the channel between the two worlds, then the world consciousness is definitely unavoidable.

Since we are in a cooperative relationship, is it not excessive for me to make some reasonable demands?

With this thought in mind, Zhao Si quickly left the 22nd floor.

Just when Zhao Si's mission was about to come to an end, at the same time, in Gensokyo.

"Sister Aige, I'm here again. Are you free? Huh?"
