Chapter 456: Undying (Corrected)
During Alain’s trip to the Mansion, not only did he learn the anomaly that "Reality has problems," but he also harvested quite a bit of information...
And a computer.
Alain moved the computer tower onto the desktop, unplugged the monitor’s HDMI cable, and connected it to the Mansion’s computer.
Then, he pressed the power button.
Rumble—
It was the roar of the tower’s fan.
The group of young girls flocked to Alain’s side, surrounding him, accompanying Alain as he gazed at the unfamiliar boot icon on the screen.
A blank password box appeared, and the girls’ expressions tightened instantly. They didn’t even dare to breathe loud...
"Can you guys relax a bit?" Alain was made flustered by this atmosphere; clearly, he was just turning on a computer.
"Enough, Alain... You open it and see first!" Hearing this, Misha did not relax her vigilance, staring straight at the password box.
While Alain was confused, a certain possibility spawned in his heart: Could it be... this computer actually has some problems?
His heartbeat sped up considerably amidst Misha’s reminder.
Alain swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quickly tapped the keyboard, and entered a password of 11 letters and one space.
[Your Reality]
Success or failure—hinges on this one move!
Alain hit Enter. After a crisp clack—he successfully entered the computer’s desktop.
"So far, no problems yet?"
Just as everyone wanted to heave a sigh of relief, hearing Misha’s murmur, they began to get nervous again.
Alain slid the mouse, opened the email... successfully found the `monika.chr` file, and downloaded it to the computer.
Double-clicking the file, a password prompt box appeared again.
"Success or failure, hinges on this one move, Alain!" Misha’s inspiring voice!
Alain nodded heavily and entered the 12-digit password again...
He had never opened the `monika.chr` file. Even at the Core last time, it was the file exerting its effect autonomously.
By the way... is the `.chr` file’s password really [Your Reality]?
If it isn’t... then wouldn’t Monika be unable to resurrect?
If she can’t resurrect, then when Alain and the others go to the Core later, they will face a situation of being completely in the dark.
No one knows Yang Wanhua—
"Oh my, what are you dazing off for? I’ll help you!!!"
Clack!
The tactless good brother didn’t wait for him to finish considering and directly pressed Enter, making Alain’s eyes widen.
Alain turned back and glared at her, eliciting a booing sound from Millie...
Forget it, things have come to this.
Alain turned his eyes to gaze at the computer desktop. Behind the password box on the screen, a loading circle appeared, spinning with a gurgle.
In the blink of an eye, a green checkmark finally let everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
"Alain, success or failure is again—"
"Enough, it’s done." Alain interrupted Misha.
The girl pouted. "People rarely want to crack a joke..."
As the password entry box dimmed, a console appeared.
Line after line of code sped past. One line, ten lines, a hundred lines... The code was long and short, dazzling the eyes.
But following a refresh of the entire computer desktop, the console vanished.
"..."
Alain and the others remained silent, looking at each other.
"Why is there no movement?"
Could it be a problem occurred? Was there something he didn’t do well?
Alain was endlessly confused. He closed the email and carefully examined the computer’s desktop.
Only then did he discover that the desktop icons were fewer.
The just-downloaded `.chr` file, as well as the Mansion’s control hub, were missing without a trace.
Alain suddenly realized. `monika.chr` stored Monika’s body, while the Mansion’s control hub was Monika’s "consciousness"?
But, why did nothing happen after completing all this?
"!"
At this moment, a flash of inspiration struck Alain’s mind.
"Sorry, everyone make way."
Hearing this, everyone tacitly opened up a path.
Alain walked quickly out the door, took the elevator downstairs, taxi... At his fastest speed, he arrived at the original small home.
The small home seemed not to have been rented out yet, and the landlord hadn’t taken back the keys either. But these things held no meaning for him.
Fake Reality; apart from Mitas and him, the rest of the people were probably all NPCs.
Kong—
Opening the nostalgic room door, Alain went straight to the bathroom.
He stood in front of the toilet, tapping his toes and counting...
The distance between the Large Flat and the Old Home was about a ten-minute round trip, not really wasting much time. Plus, Monika was a necessary ally. Alain also had many words he wanted to say to her face-to-face.
Tap!
With the final tap of his toe, he faintly sensed something, raised his head, and then—
Blinked.
As expected, a figure appeared in mid-air.
Coral-brown high ponytail hair, and under the academy-style uniform were black silk stockings...
She was like an infant in swaddling clothes, her body suspended curled up in mid-air. Her profile showed tightly closed eyes.
Gravity arrived late. She fell toward the ground but fell conveniently into Alain’s embrace.
"?" She opened her confused big eyes, seeming to question why the pain hadn’t arrived.
Those emerald-like green eyes reflected the shadow of a young man.
Monika’s expression went slightly blank. Just as a calm smile was about to hang on her face again and she was about to tease with a sentence or two—
"It’s really great that you’re okay." Alain’s words arrived a step earlier.
He gently set the girl down, then hugged her shoulders like a comrade-in-arms, patting her on the back.
A trace of confusion and helplessness flashed through Monika’s eyes, and only then did she maladaptively accept Alain’s comfort...
"Yeah. Since I appeared here, that proves..."
"Mm." Alain let go of her and led her away from the small home.
Arriving at the roadside, he explained as they walked, "You have already died once. What is your current timeline?"
Yes. Monika is an electronic organism. The way she can perform resurrection... can only be through [Backup] data.
The key is, backup data from which timeline? This also seriously affects Alain’s subsequent progress.
"After I fought to the death with the Version 1.3B Virus, I exempted your death..."
Rumble—
Getting into the taxi, watching the scenery continuously receding outside the car window, the girl spoke in a deep voice.
"Could it be, I successfully established an alliance relationship with you?"
"Correct." Alain did not deny it. "You helped me a lot."
The two fell silent amidst the honking and engine sounds.
After a long while, Monika asked, "Then, exactly what is the relationship between me and you now?"
Obviously, this was the question she really cared about.
Looking at Monika’s serious expression, it seemed that hug just now made her care very much.
Alain also planned to speak the truth.
"The two of us..."
He also looked out the window, his gaze complex.
"Are in a relationship where we have taken off panties, promised to help each other in the same boat, and obtain a beautiful future together."
