"This is!?"
Colorful black, colorful white, this is probably the kind of color that only exists in the Party A's mouth.
Colorful black and colorful white stacked into a strange splendor, like a world woven from the Milky Way and the sea of stars, depicting a bizarre and illusory dream, finally returning to extreme harmony.
"A dream? No, this is not a dream."
Bai Qi had experienced lucid dreams a few times, but his consciousness could never be this clear. The most important thing was...
Bai Qi lowered his head and eyes, scanning his naked body, his voice brimming with irrepressible excitement, "I don't have exhibitionism."
The gradually spreading smile seemed to reduce the credibility of these words.
However, the current situation did make Bai Qi a little excited!
The bizarre and strange situation, the terror brought by the unknown, did not make Bai Qi feel any tension at all, but rather the long-awaited excitement!
This is Bai Qi.
If ghost appeared in the real world, Bai Qi would never turn and run away after seeing them, but would instead approach with great interest.
Bai Qi's curiosity and spirit of exploration for the true world are no less than those intellectuals in Liu Cixin's "Having Heard the Tao in the Morning" who 'are willing to exchange death for the ultimate truth of the universe'.
As for life and death, do You think a new era young person, alone and carrying a twenty-eight-year mortgage, would care?
Maybe he can even become a ghost after death!
If ghost follow human cognition and whether they can become ghost and the power they possess after becoming ghost is determined by negative emotions, how many ghost King would there be in modern society?
"Is this the so-called soul?"
Bai Qi clenched his fist, examining the hand that was similar to but not quite like his 'flesh', then looked up and surveyed his surroundings.
How should that subtle feeling be described?
It was like being wrapped in blue velvet, or like seeing the starry sky in the bizarre and topsy-turvy light and darkness.
Ethereal and distant, one couldn't help but feel safe.
"This feeling..."
Light like the Milky Way flowed quietly, and Bai Qi walked in this Mysterious Space. He could vaguely feel that this Mysterious Space seemed to have some connection with him.
He seemed to be able to control this space, but he didn't know how, or perhaps his power was insufficient?
Unable to distinguish directions, or rather, there was no direction at all, nor was there any flow of time. He didn't know how long had passed, until Bai Qi's spirit felt tired, he still hadn't been able to figure out the characteristics of the Mysterious Space.
At a certain moment, a feeling of free fall, as if falling from the clouds, came.
Bad news, Bai Qi left the Mysterious Space.
Good news, this encounter was not a coincidence.
On the second night, Bai Qi entered the Mysterious Space again by tracing that strange feeling, but still returned without success.
During the day, under the care of the caregiver sister, apart from the pain of the fracture, Bai Qi had no other troubles.
Although his head and body felt heavy, Bai Qi felt relaxed inside. He could finally rest!
The company sent a colleague Bai Qi was familiar with to visit and discuss some matters.
Theoretically, a car accident on the way home from overtime work counts as a work injury, and the company should bear some responsibility, but this is just theory.
Labor law is just a castle in the air for people at the bottom. It's hard enough to just live, so where would they have the time and energy to argue with the company.
Bai Qi, a person with a broken bone and limited mobility, had no relatives, and it was even more impossible for him to find a professional agency for work injury assessment.
Naturally, the company did not compensate him.
The boss, uncharacteristically showing Compassion, settled Bai Qi's salary up to that day.
The price was Bai Qi's voluntary resignation.
If an employee gets sick or injured at work, the employer cannot terminate the labor contract within the stipulated medical period, but if the employee initiates it, there is no problem.
This was something Bai Qi had expected.
There was no ripple in his heart, and he even felt like laughing.
The daily routine of long-term overtime work. Being hit and hospitalized now was simply a kind of enjoyment for Bai Qi.
Half a month passed in a flash.
The white curtains fluttered with the gentle breeze, gradually getting used to the smell of disinfectant in the room, Bai Qi lay on the pure white Hospital bed.
In the first few days, Bai Qi spent almost every day in the Mysterious Space, attempting various explorations, but perhaps due to the lack of soul power, the Mysterious Space gave no feedback.
The only change was that Bai Qi could make the Hospital gown appear on his body, avoiding the embarrassment of being naked in the space.
The feeling of having nothing on one's body would more or less make one's mindset subtle.
In short, after realizing this, Bai Qi no longer put all his energy into the Mysterious Space.
He would only enter at night, taking advantage of the daytime to catch up on the anime series and classic old shows he had accumulated for a long time, focusing on adjusting his emotions and spirit.
Perhaps getting enough rest would trigger something?
After finishing watching 'Lycoris Recoil' on BiliBili, Bai Qi opened the comment section and read with relish.
"Honestly, this comment section is even better than the anime itself."
After thanking and eating the apple peeled by the senior caregiver, Bai Qi watched the arguments between several factions in the comment section and joined the ranks of the spectators enjoying the show.
As for his opinion?
He was just a simple anime viewer; if it was good, he watched it; if it wasn't, he didn't. There was no need for any other complicated thoughts.
Bai Qi spent over twenty minutes reading comments before returning to his anime collection list, his fingers sliding across the screen.
"Demon Slayer Swordsmith Village Arc, Tokyo Ghoul, Inuyasha, Dragon Ball... Which one should I watch first?" Bai Qi didn't have the habit of talking to himself, but his thoughts were usually very active.
Bai Qi hesitated slightly, but before he could make a decision, suddenly!
For a moment, a strange Thrilling arose in Bai Qi's soul. Without warning, he understood that the Mysterious Space had changed.
Suppressing his excitement, Bai Qi let out a long breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Turning off the screen and putting his phone back by the pillow, Bai Qi slowly closed his eyes, his soul tracing back to the Mysterious Space so distant it was incomprehensible, moving as skillfully as opening the door to his old home.
The untouchable Milky Way hung high, its diffused halo illuminating the surroundings, giving a sense of ethereal tranquility.
The moment the scene entered his vision, Bai Qi's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, a look of unexpected shock appearing in his brown-black pupils.
It was a dreamlike beautiful figure.
With a face as cute and delicate as a doll's, the Girl's long blue hair, as clear and azure as the sky, spread behind her, complementing her already fair skin like milk in a porcelain bowl, delicate and radiant, like fine white jade.
Her long hair flowing down outlined her exquisite figure. Through her floating bangs, one could vaguely see a holy green gem embedded in the Girl's smooth forehead, and her forest green pupils, which drew the eye like a vortex, reflected a cold, condensed color.
At first glance, she was pure and lovable like the Girl next door, yet beautiful enough to make almost everyone dream of her. Her delicate face, devoid of any expression, also gave her an ethereal and light feeling.
Most importantly, did you remember Bai Qi's state the first time he entered the Mysterious Space?
Bai Qi didn't know if he was a consciousness body, a soul, or some other form in this space, but no matter the state, external objects like clothes wouldn't be included.
Therefore, her ice-like skin and jade-like body were completely displayed before Bai Qi.
In the silent environment, Bai Qi seemed to hear the gradually accelerating heartbeat in his chest.
It wasn't joy at seeing a naked beautiful Girl, but the excitement that the Mysterious Space had finally changed.
Ordinary items that hadn't undergone "deepening of cognition" couldn't enter this space.
In other words, the crystal on the Girl's forehead was a part of her being, just like a normal Human's hands and feet, or internal organs.
Coupled with her blue hair and green eyes, it was basically possible to rule out the possibility that she was an Earth Human.
Bai Qi's pupils were deep, his mind filled with various thoughts. With silent steps, he slowly walked towards the blue-haired Girl.
The blue-haired Girl stood blankly in place, her slightly childish, flawless, cute face, like a doll's, devoid of any expression.
Rather than being cold, it was more like a typical Kuudere type.
What could be seen was that the Girl was a bit sleepy, as if she had just woken up from a dream.
Her tender fingers smoothed the soft hair falling along her temples, and a captivating melancholy showed through her picturesque brows.
But soon, her slender, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and the Girl seemed ready to fall asleep again at any moment.
She seemed to be treating the scene before her as a dream.
"Um... hello?"
At the sudden sound of an unfamiliar voice, a few wisps of confusion flashed in the blue-haired Girl's emerald green pupils. Then she slowly turned and tilted her head, looking in the direction the voice came from.
After seeing Bai Qi in his hospital gown, the blue-haired Girl's Sakura lips slightly parted, giving a sense of adorable blankness.
"Humans..."
Her voice was as clear and ethereal as a secluded orchid, containing a slight hint of surprise and astonishment. The Girl seemed somewhat puzzled.
"Humans... why... don't they dislike?"
Huh?
The Girl's soft murmur was exceptionally clear in this silent space with only two people.
Bai Qi raised an eyebrow. She really wasn't a Human.
Bai Qi's face was expressionless, and he re-examined the blue-haired Girl with a serious gaze, but his eyes still couldn't help but be drawn to the exquisite curves beneath the Girl's delicate collarbone and the triangular area radiating a mysterious attraction.
Her tender skin, so fair it was almost transparent and seemed to break at a touch, glowed with dazzling white.
"Ahem, well, let me state beforehand, I don't know what this place is, and it might be the mechanism of this space that external objects like clothes cannot enter, so..."
Bai Qi took a deep breath, calmed the turmoil in his heart, and spoke in as steady a tone as possible, "Do you want to cover up the key areas first? Um, you can use your hair and hands..."
Compared to the Girl's exquisite figure, what concerned Bai Qi more was why he felt a sense of fondness for this Girl?
It wasn't love at first sight, nor was it lust, but a tangible, natural sense of closeness.
"Hmm?"
Hearing the inexplicable words, the blue-haired Girl tilted her head adorably, a hint of appropriate confusion in her emerald green eyes.
Then, belatedly, she lowered her little head, her snowy white skin coming into view, and the blue-haired Girl fell into a daze.
Afterward, a tempting, decadent pink slowly seeped into her delicate face and fair skin.
Bai Qi had spoken first, and the blue-haired Girl could also feel that unusual intimacy, so she didn't attack Bai Qi.
Covering was necessary, but even her hip-length hair couldn't completely cover much of her body, let alone using her delicate small hands to cover the triangular area.
If she wanted to cover up, the safest and most efficient method was, after all...
Displaying extreme speed in an instant, the blue-haired Girl's figure disappeared from her original spot. Bai Qi only saw blue hair fluttering before feeling warmth approaching from behind.
So fast!
But before Bai Qi could even exclaim this, warm, soft hands covered his eyes.
However, the moment their bodies, or rather, their soul bodies, made contact, Bai Qi and the blue-haired Girl's bodies solidified at that instant, and vast information surged like a floodgate opening.
Starting from the tender, jade-like hands, the blue-haired Girl, like a tributary finally returning to the sea, merged into Bai Qi's soul body. The sense of fragmentation that had always lingered deep within Bai Qi's soul strangely lessened.
At this moment, in the Mysterious Space, like a summer night sky, the dim stars suddenly bloomed with profound light.
The blue-haired Girl, who had merged into Bai Qi's soul like a stream flowing into the sea, separated from Bai Qi's soul again.
On her delicate and cute face, the expression that had been as calm as still water was gone, replaced by disbelief, surprise, and shock.
Bai Qi and the blue-haired Girl returned to silence along with the light of the Mysterious Space. The two stared at each other in stunned silence.
Unlike before, there was no longer any shyness on the blue-haired Girl's face, even though Bai Qi was staring at her chest and triangular area.
"How is it? Does it look good?" It was still the ethereal and clear voice, but the tone was completely different.
"Yes, it looks good, absolutely stunning!" Bai Qi answered honestly, no longer restraining his gaze, openly admiring the Girl's delicate body.
She looked like a Girl created by AI real-person drawing, beautiful to a degree that couldn't exist in the real world!
"Hmm, talking to myself, it really is strange..."
Their words completely overlapped. Bai Qi and the blue-haired Girl raised their hands with identical movements, stroking their chins.
