Time rewound about ten minutes.
Within the simulated universe space constructed based on Bai Yu’s memories of the Azur Lane world.
After thoroughly understanding the current situation, Black Tower didn’t immediately end the preliminary test, but carefully observed the endless stream of information flowing from another universe, then said to Bai Yu: "Xiao Bai, how exactly is your connection with people from other worlds?"
This question naturally caught the attention of Fu Xuan, Su Shang, and Astarte.
Although he couldn’t see Astarte’s gaze, he could feel Fu Xuan and Su Shang’s direct stares beside him.
“Roughly… it’s like a consciousness possessing someone? To put it in a way that A Fu can easily understand, it’s like Suiyang possessing a human, but this possession is harmless to the possessed.”
“Suiyang possessing someone?”
Fu Xuan subconsciously frowned. She wasn't concerned with whether it was harmful to the possessed, but rather -
"Xiao Bai, after Suiyang possesses a human, they will be affected by the possessed's seven emotions and six desires, and eventually even their own self will be changed. You…"
"Don't worry, I said it's harmless, to them and to myself."
Bai Yu explained with a strange expression.
He couldn't help but think back to the time when his consciousness was in Belfast, the two signed a ship girl contract, and finally he was taken to the peak by Belfast.
Thinking about it carefully, it's quite exciting... Ssh! No! Stop thinking about it! Otherwise, you'll become weird!
Fu Xuan didn’t think too much about it, she was slightly relieved after hearing Bai Yu say that it was harmless.
Black Tower’s voice came from the sky again:
『Then try it now! I need to collect data!』
"Are you sure?" Bai Yu didn’t agree immediately, but asked with doubt, "If I do this, my consciousness will cross time and space and enter another world. Is there no problem with my current state?"
They are currently in a simulated universe.
『Your three consciousnesses are not in your own bodies right now, they are in the simulated universe.』
『But I suggest the three-eyed pink-haired dwarf and that silly girl return to reality first, to avoid errors.』
"Who are you calling a pink-haired dwarf!?"
Fu Xuan’s eyebrows shot up, she glared angrily at the sky.
Su Shang scratched her head, she really wanted to say that she wasn’t silly, but considering that the other party was a legendary genius, compared to her, she was probably a fool, perhaps?
Their figures soon disappeared beside Bai Yu, their consciousness returning to their real bodies.
Opening her eyes, Fu Xuan immediately sent a cold glance towards Black Tower, snorted coldly, her golden hairpin and hair ornaments swayed slightly, she walked to the side and stood with Astarte, watching Bai Yu who was still in the simulated universe on the screen.
It’s not the time to find trouble with Black Tower, she’ll wait until that little rascal comes out of the simulated universe before doing anything.
Su Shang looked at Black Tower’s office, which had changed drastically since she last entered, and exclaimed: "Wow! Why are there suddenly so many Black Tower girls?"
"Single-threaded operations can't handle it, so I'm doing multi-threaded operations, that's all."
The Black Tower doll next to Su Shang glanced at the girl and explained for her.
Su Shang: "——?"
"You can just understand it as multitasking. Come here, don’t get in their way."
Fu Xuan beckoned to Su Shang, letting her come to her side.
As soon as she stood still, Su Shang heard Astarte concernedly say to her: "Miss Su Shang, are you feeling okay?"
"No problem, no problem! I've been trained by my mother since I was a child, my body is tough!" Su Shang patted her chest, indicating that she was fine, "Also, don't call me Miss, just call me Shang Shang, like Xiao Bai!"
"Okay, Shang Shang." Astarte nodded with a smile.
Meanwhile, in the simulated universe space.
Bai Yu sank his mind into his sea of consciousness and touched the mark around his heart sword representing Belfast, in an instant, a sudden pulling force made his consciousness escape this space and time.
Black Tower, who was constantly monitoring any abnormalities, immediately saw that their simulated universe system was more buggy than ever. A bunch of messy codes popped up from nowhere, and were still self-replicating.
"What is this infinite recursion code..."
A large group of Black Tower dolls muttered from time to time, working nervously and orderly.
The scene in the simulated universe space also began to change.
The original sea collapsed, replaced by the Speaker’s office in the port.
"What’s going on?" Fu Xuan frowned, looking at the confrontation between Belfast and the Observer on the screen, "Where’s Xiao Bai?"
Black Tower’s eyes were full of the kind of light a scholar would have when they see something interesting. Although a little unhappy to be interrupted by Fu Xuan, she still patiently explained: "Forgot what Xiao Bai said just now? He should have already possessed one of those two with his consciousness - the simulated universe generates space based on the tester’s memories, but memory itself is essentially information, there is 'stored past information', and naturally there is also 'currently being written information' - in other words, by using the scene generation structure of the simulated universe, we can now see what’s happening on Xiao Bai’s side synchronously."
"I see —"
Fu Xuan nodded, understanding immediately, then her expression changed slightly.
"—Wait! You mean, Xiao Bai possessed a girl!?"
Danger!
The alarm bells rang in the heart of the Taiboo!
Fu Xuan stared fixedly at Belfast and the Observer on the screen, her silver teeth clenched, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
So, she thought that her opponent was just the peach blossoms around her sweetheart, but it turns out people from other worlds have appeared!?
She should have known…
Who is it!?
Is it that silver-haired, gold-eyed, tentacle-wielding loli who looks like a seductive temptress, or that maid with chest size that’s breaking the rules!?
Fu Xuan, who was closely observing every change on the screen, quickly noticed a smile that she was all too familiar with appearing on Belfast’s face.
Fu Xuan opened her mouth, glanced at Belfast, then looked down at her own chest.
Her eyes gradually became empty...
At this moment, the Taiboo felt the disparity of the world and the profound malice.
Perhaps because they were both girls, Astarte keenly noticed Fu Xuan’s abnormality. She also looked at Belfast on the screen with a subtle expression, then patted Fu Xuan on the shoulder, comforting her: "Miss Fu Xuan, I remember that in the ‘寰宇佳品’ you can purchase items online that make people’s bodies look better—"
"It's no use..." The color drained from Fu Taiboo's face, she shook her head sadly, "I’ve done the divination, even if five hundred years pass, I won’t change anymore..."
"Besides, you should know that the bodies of people from the Xianzhou will remain the same after they grow up, there won’t be any changes..."
