When Bai Lu woke up, he found himself leaning on someone's shoulder.

That's right.

The game is over... She successfully followed everyone out of the gymnasium and got on the bus back to Karasunocho.

After all, the bus is rented, and it needs to be delivered to the school safely. After returning to school, Wuyang Xixin will invite everyone to have a good meal and replenish the energy consumed after exercise in time.

It's about the same as IH was back then.

It's just that everyone's face is filled with the joy of victory this time, and the harvest is full, and the dull atmosphere of last time will never appear again.

Correspondingly, Wu Ye, who played a full 5 rounds of the game, was exhausted, and the joy was joy. He felt tired just changing into a clean set of clothes, and fell asleep uncontrollably after getting on the bus.

Some people fell asleep with their heads up, some nodded their heads in sleepiness, and 90% of the team members were dozing off.

Bai Lu is actually not sleepy, but yawning is very contagious, one infects another, and in this relaxed atmosphere, she can't help but start to feel sleepy.

"System: Congratulations on successfully unlocking all the conditions for returning home. The permission to go home has been loaded and will automatically start in 1 hour. Countdown: 1:00:00, 0:59:59, 0:59:58..."

"System: The game has given you an extra gift package x 1."

In a daze, a blue translucent light board seemed to appear in front of her again, but the girl who was distracted didn't bother to pay attention, and just clicked the gift bag casually and fell asleep.

...

It hurts.

All the internal organs felt uncomfortable, and just taking a breath brought a throbbing pain in the lung cavity.

A tube was inserted in her mouth, and it was painfully inserted into the trachea through her throat. She didn't know whether it was day or night, and she only felt extremely dim.

What damned place?

While regaining consciousness, Bai Lu opened his eyes wearily, his brain seemed to be coated with a film, which was sticky and couldn't be torn off and kept pulling.

To clutter a messy mind.

At the same time, there was a voice in her heart, telling her that this was the ICU ward.

Her consciousness seemed to be placed inside the body, but also separated from the entire ward. It was unclear whether it was the first-person perspective or the third-person perspective. The only thing that was quiet in the room was the sound of the "drip, beep" of the instrument.

how come……

It hurt so much, was so weak, and it was hard to breathe.

If Bai Lu can control her body to sit up now, she can find that her skinny cheeks and shriveled body are like skin and bones, her eyes are covered with black and blue, only the color of her skin remains fair, or...

Pale.

He looked as if he had been tortured by the serious illness, even the will to live was being extinguished.

She didn't know how long she had been lying in this state of dull silence. The electrocardiogram machine was about to level off for a long time, and she fell into death.

Death may be a relief.

Throughout her life, she is very successful and also very unsuccessful. Success lies in the first half of her life, she is treated like a protagonist, and she is the darling of God wherever she goes. Unfortunately, how smooth the early stage is, the blows she suffers in the second half of her life are as great.

There was a continuous grayness in the cage of thoughts, but suddenly there was a "ding" in the silent and dark room, and a small blue light appeared in the air.

"System: Ding——"

"System: H, Hello~?"

Bai Lu: "..."

Are you finally going to die?

To be able to see hallucinations before dying, this is the legendary reflection.

"System: Nope!"

[System: Cough, welcome to bind our "Let's Fall in Love! ×× Series" game, I'm System 002, let me explain in a simple way, you should have read Green jj's system text and Mary Su's novel, right?】

"..."

"System: I come from a game company that collects love energy. The purpose is to bind a suitable host and turn your world into a love game!"

"System: Then don't talk nonsense, you are our chosen heroine."

...Sure enough, have been ill for a long time.

Bai Lu directly closed her tired eyes, and she even began to fantasize mentally.

"System: Say no!"

It's a pity that a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his head, unlike the blue light board, which asked very loudly——

"System: Do you want to live too?"

"System: We can restart your world, that is to say, do everything all over again, so as to start your strategy."

"System: When the time comes, we will gain love energy, and you will start a new life. This is a win-win situation."

"...Do you really want me?"

"System: Yes, we have detected that only two of your attributes in the entire dimension match."

"System: You in another parallel world are only 18 years old. Because your thinking is not necessarily mature, we found you who are almost at the end of your life."

The air was silent.

This guy who popped up out of nowhere may or may not be her fantasy, but one thing is right...

Now she has experienced too much reality, she is dying, and her life is coming to an end.

I don't know how long it took, Bai Lu thought for a few seconds, and said to the cheerful voice in his head, "I can agree."

"System: Hey, really!"

"System: Then it's not too late..."

"But not me."

"System: what?"

"I can't do it anymore. Even if I do it all over again in this world, I can't have any hope of living. Just thinking about such a sickness makes me feel painful."

Bai Lu was indeed God's favorite daughter when she was a child.

But later she can be said to be an abandoned child. Her parents divorced when she was in high school, and one of them had an accident on a plane.

Relying on her excellent ability and perfect appearance, she worked hard to make money every day, and finally paid back the money, but because of being tired every day and devoting herself to work, her body finally collapsed.

The old illness relapsed, and a series of problems came to her. Just a week before she was admitted to the ward, her mother passed away due to illness.

"Because I got smooth sailing since I was a child, after various changes in my family, I collapsed."

"It's also because of these aggravated illnesses. Now I can say that I don't have any aura of the protagonist."

"But the me in another world is different. As you said, she is only 18 years old."

18 years old is the third year of high school. At that time, Bai Lu's parents were on the verge of divorce, and all the nightmares happened after college life began.

"Go find me in the parallel world."

Bai Lu closed her dry eyes: "Let her experience this, let her get experience in advance, and experience some hardships before stepping into society."

"At least it won't be like me. Because of my poor acceptance ability, I collapsed several times, and my body is getting more and more stretched."

"System: If you really want to say it, it really doesn't matter which world you are in, but are you sure?"

"System: This is the only chance for a new job."

Sure.

As if she were paying tribute to her past self.

"System: Oh...that's fine."

"System: We will restart your world, but let Bai Lu from another world come through and follow the plot of your world."

"System: How about this proposal?"

very good.

Just do it.

"System: As for whether you can go back, it depends on whether you can do it at the age of 18."

When Bai Lu woke up, he found himself leaning on someone's shoulder.

Rather than talking about her shoulders, it might be better to say that she was about to slip into the other's arms, but at this moment, her cheek was suddenly held by a slightly cold finger, and she was pressed back to the opposite direction.

Because the brain was in a little chaos, the girl unconsciously followed the opponent's direction and fell down, with her head on his shoulder.

After reacting in a daze for a few seconds, she opened her hazy eyes.

The content of the dream... still remember.

The woman lying on the hospital bed like a dead tree was herself.

In other words, another self.

Because it was too shocking to slow down, Bai Lu stared blankly to the left—that is, the person he was leaning on just now was Tobio Kageyama who was sleeping soundly.

The other party seemed to be having some kind of nightmare, gnashing his teeth, probably not noticing that the girl was almost lying in his arms, and the heads of the two kept leaning up and down.

Before she fell into Yingshan's arms, her cheek was held by the other side in time, which also caused Bai Lu to subconsciously lean to the other side.

On her right... seems to be Hotaru Tsukishima.

The three of them chose the last row, because they were too sleepy, so they found a seat at random, and fell asleep after sitting for a while.

Hinata Xiangyang sat in front of Tobio Kageyama, leaning against Yamaguchi Tadashi with his head down, his sleeping posture clearly reflected on the window.

Everyone is really tired.

The atmosphere was so peaceful that Bai Lu was still half asleep, almost thinking that the dream just now was just a dream.

but……

Obviously not.

Hello, system?

The girl called out to the other party in her mind, but unfortunately there was no reply from the always mechanical voice.

Just like it disappeared for a while after IH ended, only the so-called main game system was broadcasting things mechanically.

"System: I'm here."

"System: I don't want to bother you and the strategy character No. 15, hehe."

"..."

After being reminded by the system, Bai Lu immediately raised his head.

In fact, it was only 3 seconds since she woke up, and she straightened up from the slender shoulders that lay on her, and the girl saw Hotaru Tsukishima's expression.

...He didn't look this way at all.

His elbow rested on the window on the right, supporting his smooth chin. The boy with cold blond hair was staring out of the window, as if he had never done anything to break Bai Lu (from Tobio Kageyama) back, but it made the girl feel uncomfortable.Be careful how you lie on his shoulders.

There was no sound of reminder, or ridicule.

The atmosphere between the two is very peaceful.

"System: He wants the player to rely on him for a while, he is dissatisfied with you, hehe~"

... Let's not play too much, and still have something to settle with you.

"Feel sorry."

Bai Lu tucked the loose hair behind her ears, and apologized to Hotaru Tsukishima: "I accidentally fell asleep just now, is it heavy?"

"…nothing."

Hotaru Tsukishima's pleasant voice could not detect any emotions or anger. She glanced at the girl's slender body, and when she caught a glimpse of a sleeping figure, her tone was finally tainted with a little sarcasm: "You might as well ask the girl next to you.fool."

Actually, Tsukishima just woke up too.

Played 5 rounds, persisted until now but turned out to be a monster, accidentally fell asleep and woke up to find...

Bai Lu was almost lying on his knees.

"...Kageyama seems to be sleeping soundly, let him continue to squint for a while."

The girl silently glanced at the boy sitting on the other side, the black-haired boy who was gnashing his teeth lowered his head. He didn't know what kind of dream this guy was having, his eyebrows were all knotted.

The conversation between the two didn't last long, and the bus had already arrived at Wu Ye High School.

Then it was time for the break-up dinner, and the place was still at the izakaya where IH had the dinner together. Everyone got out of the car in a daze, and most of them yawned.

A certain genius setter even shook his arm, and said doubtfully, "Why do I feel numb..."

Bai Lu: "..."

He looked away guiltily.

She followed everyone into the store, and she was sitting in the same position as last time. There was a sumptuous food in front of her, and everyone was salivating, and her stomach was rumbling with hunger.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore."

Wu Yang Xixin sat at the head of the table, raised his hand and coughed lightly: "I believe everyone is already hungry, let's eat!!"

Picking up the chopsticks following the cheers, the girl looked at the things in her hands, and suddenly remembered a sentence.

It's just...

A pair of chopsticks belonging to the game world.

The phone buzzed and vibrated, and various blessings were received here and there on the Line page.

"Lone Claw Grinding: Congratulations."

"Kyoji Akare: I saw the result of the match in Miyagi Prefecture, congratulations."

"Heiwei Tielang: Yin koma will also enter the country, and then, can we meet again? Lulu."

"Iwaizumi: Hey hey hey! I heard that Wu Ye won Udo, see you in the competition!"

...

………

Followed by countless information.

His vision was blurring, and his consciousness was unknowingly stirred into a blank state, but this time Bai Lu didn't feel any pain.

The screen of the mobile phone slipped slightly, and the strength to hold the chopsticks between her fingers was slackening. Finally, the things in front of her became completely dark.

No pain, no heart-shattering pain, no screams around, no one running wild...

Everything is so peaceful.

In the calm, something is quietly undergoing earth-shaking changes.

"Loading...Loading..."

"System: It has detected that the countdown is over, and officially starts the process of going home for you."

"Jingle bell, jingle bell!"

The sound of the alarm clock is loud and loud, because it is set on an automatic cycle, and once it goes off, it will echo endlessly in the room unless it is turned off.

Bai Lu supported his forehead, frowned, and fumbled for the desk to turn off the alarm clock.

Her head seemed to have been hit by a sap, and she had a splitting headache, as if she had had a long nightmare.

In fact, it does amount to one long nightmare.

The field of vision finally became clear, and the girl who had completely regained consciousness silently looked at the surrounding environment——

There was a neat and clean mint green bed, schoolbags and some scattered test papers on the floor, the drawn curtains could not block the morning sun outside, and a computer was placed in front of her.

Everything coincides with the scene before time travel.

At the beginning of the story, Bai Lu was also sitting in such a quiet room, casually stuffing the game she found into the console, and began her journey of no return.

And this is undoubtedly her real room.

The game on the screen has disappeared, and the phrase "Do you want to have a vigorous love?" seems to have never appeared, and the console is also empty, and the game disc has disappeared out of thin air.

Except that it is not dark outside, it looks like around 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, everything is so familiar, the same alarm clock, the same curtains, and even the clothes that the girl plans to wear tomorrow on the back of the chair.

She has come back.

When realized this, mind was never as relaxed as it is now, and whole body melted into a puddle of water.

Bai Lu slumped on the back of the chair in a daze until the door of his room was pushed open.

"...Huh? Lu Lu, why are you awake?"

It's her mother.

She didn't do any rough work, and she didn't suffer from the devastation of the society like in the game world. The beautiful young woman who somewhat resembled Bai Lu's eyes became sharp in an instant.

The other party seemed to just want to find some clothes in the closet in Bai Lu's room, and didn't intend to disturb his daughter who was supposed to be sleeping soundly, but unfortunately...

"Did you stay up late playing games again?"

Bai Lu: "..."

Back in reality, she never expected that she would be scolded when she reunited with her real mother. She suddenly pushed the chair away and stood up, and slipped into the warm and real embrace of her without hesitation: "Mom... woo..."

"What's wrong with you kid?"

Mother Bai Lu was obviously taken aback, and her head was patted gently, her voice softened: "Okay, did you have a nightmare?"

"I won't talk to you about the game, pack up quickly, your dad is going to Tokyo on a business trip, and he leaves at 8 in the morning, isn't he making a fuss about going to play with him for a day?"

"Come back early tomorrow to see your grandma."

"oh."

Bai Lu nodded in a muffled voice.

She remembered about Tokyo. In reality, her family lived in Sendai. Her father was the boss of a company in Sendai. He planned to travel to Tokyo tomorrow.

It just so happened... Akihabara has a new simulation business exhibition, Bai Lu has been coveting it for a long time, and wants to go to see it no matter what.

She acted coquettishly with her father, and got consent without any effort.

Because she was too excited "yesterday" night, the girl couldn't sleep, so she randomly dug out a game she hadn't seen before from the box, and planned to play it for only an hour to pass the time.

Did not expect a series of subsequent events.

It's really... so sad.

Bai Lu let go of his mother while blowing his nose, and honestly went to pick up the clothes on the back of the chair, planning to tidy them up, so that he would go home after going through all kinds of hardships...

etc.

The hand that was putting on the clothes suddenly stopped in mid-air, and a drop of cold sweat trickled down his cheeks belatedly.

Where is she from?
