Chapter 1125: My Mother-in-Law Asked Me to Help Her in the Resurrection Match (3000 Words)
"Tick tock...tick tock..."
Lin Lan was in a daze, vaguely feeling the cold dew dripping with the breath of morning light falling on his face.
The crisp chirping of birds and the rushing sound of the stream echoed in his ears. The breeze blew gently on his face, bringing the fragrant floral scent to his nose.
"I am..."
He slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was not the familiar ceiling of Shen Xingzhou's room.
Instead it was a deep blue sky that seemed to be at dawn.
He sat up from the green shade covered with white flowers and began to look around.
The tranquil and peaceful scenery that makes people feel relaxed and happy shows that this is not the X attachment zone where his consciousness was immersed before.
"Dream?"
Lin Lan stood up and found that he was actually wearing a white commander's uniform.
He vaguely guessed something and reached into his pocket.
Sure enough, the metallic texture of the reality lens came to my fingertips.
Since there is only a reality lens in his pocket, there is no doubt that this is the dream he has not had for a long, long time.
"I can't even remember how long it's been since I had a dream."
Lin Lan sighed with emotion as he walked to the stream not far away, picked up a handful of clear stream water and slapped it on his face.
The refreshing feeling made his mind race rapidly, and he quickly surmised why he was dreaming again.
"It seems that after I was taken to the attachment zone by X to awaken my memory last time, the memory fragments that prevented me from dreaming disappeared.
After confirming that he was in no danger, he began to focus on his surroundings.
At the same time, he also started walking aimlessly along the stream.
"This shouldn't be the environment in my memory. Could it be somewhere in the original world?"
"No, assistant, this is the resting place of the dead. You are welcome to the kingdom of death."
Just as he was admiring the beautiful scenery here and wondering to himself where this dream came from, an eerie female voice sounded faintly from behind him.
This eerie voice almost came from behind him, right next to his ears, causing his hair to stand on end instantly and he jumped three feet high on the spot.
"Hey, I'll go, what the hell?!"
However, the person approaching quietly behind him actually made a more panicked voice than him:
"Calm down! Assistant, don't move too much, otherwise you will wake up from your dream!"
"Who do you think caused me to be so frightened that I moved so much?!"
When Lin Lan turned angrily and saw the face of the visitor, he suddenly gasped and the expression on his face suddenly froze.
Who didn't know when he appeared behind him was a short woman wearing a black vest and beige cropped pants, with a pleated white coat casually draped over her shoulders.
The other person wore a pair of simple red-rimmed glasses on his face, and his long white and brown side bangs were as long as the side ponytail.
The most noteworthy thing is the thick dark circles under this woman's eyes, and the different styles of shoes on each foot that seem to be wrong.
If he didn't know the other party's identity, he would just think that she was just a cosplayer who was a researcher.
But it was very unfortunate.
There is probably no one in the world who knows better than him the identity of the woman in front of him with a smile of successful mischief on her lips.
"An, Anjie?!"
With a trembling voice and an expression as if he had seen a ghost, he called out the other person's name in disbelief.
That's right, the slender woman who suddenly appeared in his dream was the leader of the Ocean Federation's Mind Cube research team in the original world, an academician of the National Academy of Sciences, the initiator of the Shimmer Project, the developer of the Mind Cube, and a ship girl. the Creator of...
Dr. Anjie!
"I thought my assistant would call me mother-in-law when she saw me. Is it really okay to just call her by her first name?"
Hearing him call out her name, Anjie teased him in a teasing tone:
"I really didn't expect that when I recruited you into the R&D project team, I actually led the wolf into the house and made you kidnap all the ships."
"Ahem..."
Lin Lan didn't expect that when he met An Jie for the first time, she would actually mention such a thing, and his face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
However, facing his mother-in-law, he still felt a little guilty and said:
"Actually, I was with Antix today...well, wouldn't Aosta also be leading the wolf into the house?"
"ha?!"
After a brief moment of sluggishness, Anjie's face was filled with an expression of hatred, and she pointed at his nose and said angrily:
"You, you, you... I knew that when I was in solitary confinement, Aosta would definitely use ANTI-X to seduce you and poach you!
"Assistant, assistant, how did you promise me, how could you be so unable to withstand the test? Are you taken down by Aosta's daughters like this?!"
In response, Lin Lan replied helplessly:
"There's nothing I can do. If you want to blame me, just like Aosta, we are both white-haired..."
After a brief moment of silence, the two of them both couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
Although Lin Lan still had many doubts in his heart, he felt that there was always an inexplicable sense of relaxation in his heart when talking to Anjie.
This makes it difficult for him to bring up serious topics.
But at this moment, Dr. Anjie put on a serious face and said to him in a serious tone:
"Anyway, since that guy from Aosta chose to give you administrator rights in the first place, he must have been mentally prepared.
"Assistant, you have to remember that no matter what happens in the future, you must never neglect any ship. Remember?"
Hearing Dr. Anjie's instructions, Lin Lan also suppressed her smile and nodded solemnly.
"So……"
Just when he thought Dr. Anjie was going to say something very important to him and then disappear from his dream, he chose to listen carefully.
"Assistant, are you tired of eating potato chips?"
"?"
Lin Lan looked at An Jie who was asking him questions very seriously, with a confused look on his face.
"Hey, don't just be in a daze, answer me quickly!"
Being urged by Anjie, he could only reply blankly:
"No, no..."
"What about comics? What about games? How many have you experienced?"
"I……"
Lin Lan was speechless for a moment. He seemed to understand where some of his "bad habits" from ship girls came from.
Seeing that he looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time, Anjie sighed helplessly.
"Assistant, I found out that you were serious about your joke back then."
This time Lin Lan finally found the opportunity and asked Anjie:
"Which joke?"
"I have too many ideals for you to handle."
"..."
Hearing Anjie's answer, Lin Lan felt deep sadness in his heart.
Of course he still remembered that these were Dr. Anjie's last words when he had a conversation with him in the game plot.
And Anjie didn't speak again, just stared at him with reluctance.
In the end, it was Lin Lan who took the initiative to break the silence:
"So, you and Aosta, you have really..."
This time it was Anjie who took the initiative to interrupt him:
"Assistant, your face has been very ugly since just now. You don't think I'm completely dead, do you?"
There was contempt in his words, and then he took out a small silver metal instrument from his large researcher's coat and pressed it.
"Ding……"
A familiar sound of wind chimes floated by, making Lin Lan's eyes widen.
In the game, every plot related to him as a commander will sound this wind chime whenever it involves the original world.
"I have repeatedly confirmed it many times. The band records confirm that you are no longer fragments, otherwise I would not take the initiative to show up to find you.
"Besides, you should have used a reality lens to see the recording and broadcasting program I left in the cracks of the kid's mind cube network in Anchorage, right?"
When Anjie talked about recording and broadcasting procedures, Lin Lan finally realized what time Anjie was referring to confirming his band.
It was during the warm-up event before the game's directional folding event. With the help of the White Eagle girls, he used the original reality lens to enter Anchorage's mind.
In An Bao's mind, he was brought into a strange space by An Bao before entering the virtual primitive world created by Helena meta using Tova's ship suit.
There, he saw the recording program left by Anjie.
However, due to Dibel's subsequent invasion using a Category V threat, the recording program started to self-destruct, preventing him from obtaining much valuable information.
If Anjie hadn't mentioned it and the familiar sound of wind chimes, he would have completely forgotten about it.
Seeing the expression of realization on Lin Lan's face, Anjie spread her hands helplessly:
"Aosta has already made his choice, but the problem is, I'm still waiting for you to help me win the resurrection match!"
"Re-resurrection match?"
Seeing him repeating it in an unbelievable tone, Anjie scratched her cheek in embarrassment and avoided his gaze with a guilty conscience:
"Perhaps it's because I did a little experiment on myself with a Rubik's Cube when I was on the Long Island Defense Line.
"In short, although I am indeed prepared to die, you can also see the way I exist in this form now.
"Ascending dimension? Or becoming a god? Hey, I don't have the equipment to test it, so I really can't give you a professional answer to my assistant. Anyway, I'll leave it to you for the resurrection competition!"
After that, Anjie seemed to realize something again, and continued to Lin Lan, whose brain was seriously overloaded:
"And assistant, I'm not the only one waiting for you to help you in the rematch. You can figure it out on your own from now on. Don't take it too seriously. It's good to let me be lazy for a while.
"Anyway, whether it's the children or ANTI-X, I can rest assured if you have an assistant to take care of you. Just make it harder for me to take a longer vacation."
"???????"
Before Lin Lan could ask questions, the figure of this unreliable "mother-in-law" and the surrounding environment began to slowly dissipate.
It was obvious that his bizarre dream was finally coming to an end.
"Ah, by the way, assistant, next time I will help you connect your dreams with other children who are good at this field.
"Let's take a look... pfft, is it the legend from the Chongying camp? Assistant, I suggest you take more supplements after waking up today..."
What he heard at the last moment of the dream was Anjie's vague reminder to him while holding back her smile.
