Chapter 356: Return to Reality

Watching the Sleep Talking voices digitize in this electronic world, seeming to take on a physical form, Chu Jiang didn’t really want to witness this scene.

Because he is very fragile right now, if this ghost of "Sleep Talking" truly descends here, whether it’s the actual ghost or a clone, Chu Jiang’s situation would become extremely passive.

But it seems like he was imagining things, and excited Jade was also imagining things. After the Sleep Talking completely disappeared, they suddenly saw a server control panel in front of them, along with a pipeline leading deep into the church.

As the console appeared, or more accurately, connected to the depths of the church, a red box popped up above the console, and the warning message "Warning!" appeared again and blinked.

Chu Jiang immediately rushed to the console, How do you use this thing?? The corresponding operation must be completed before this console is deleted.

Although he didn’t know whether the operation would bring everyone back to the real world…

The others were not as brave as Chu Jiang. They were worried about touching the control panel, as it might delete their own data. Even Anderson hesitated for a moment.

As for a certain fanatic, she had not fully recovered from the "miracle." This is why Chu Jiang doesn’t like fanatics. Their fervent belief hinders their ability to think calmly.

The situation seemed to be better than Chu Jiang had imagined. Although this electronic world seemed to have the intention to delete the control panel, the process was slowed down due to some supernatural interference.

This gave Chu Jiang some time to try something. He explored around and quickly pulled out a foldable computer from the "drawer" position of the control panel.

This thing seemed to be called KVM or something like that. When he flipped it open, it looked similar to a laptop with a screen, keyboard, and mouse touchpad, but the system didn’t seem to be Windows.

Fortunately, this thing was turned on. Chu Jiang checked the desktop and there were only two icons. One looked like a download arrow, while the other looked like hands clasped together in front of the chest.

Moreover, the icons were thoughtfully labeled with Chinese characters, saying "Download Data" and "Devout Belief" respectively.

Needless to say, if Jade were to operate, she would most likely start by clicking on devout faith.

Chu Jiang, on the other hand, is different – he directly downloads data!

Now they are just data, if they download the data back into their original bodies, wouldn’t they be able to successfully return to the real world?

Almost as soon as Chu Jiang pressed it, the red warning words disappeared, and the two black words "Data Delete" began to slowly appear.

The server console almost irreversibly transformed into a series of blue data streams.

And what makes it even more nerve-wracking is that Chu Jiang and his friends are also turning into a data stream made up of 01010101. The witch even cried out in a screaming voice, "What should we do?! I’m going to die! Mom, I’m still a virgin!"

Anderson is actually much calmer than his companions, because he realizes that everyone is gradually transforming from head to toe into data streams, which is different from the death of the black man earlier.

And the part of them that has already been digitized didn’t disappear instantly, but instead flowed into the dataizing server console.

In the end, almost everyone vanished along with the control panel. It seemed like all the outsiders were completely erased as if they were just worthless data…

——————-

Then, as he opened his eyes, he saw a gloomy sky ahead, and he was being dragged on the ground by a cold hand.

Anderson, the witch, and Jade were not with him.

Chu Jiang didn’t rush to break free from the nun’s grip, he looked towards the real El Paso City.

In fact, the weather was nice today, but everything Chu Jiang saw was dark. The sky was covered in dark clouds and there was a foul smell in the air, with people walking on the streets.

However, they all had their eyes closed tightly, with pale faces and cracked, bloodied lips. They were either leaning or lying down, indulging in "beautiful dreams", some even had smiles unconsciously appear on their faces.

It was only at this moment that Chu Jiang realized that the city in the virtual world was peaceful and leisurely, and everyone inside was warm and welcoming.

There were no conflicts, no tensions, and certainly no shootings with the distinct American characteristics. Chu Jiang didn’t even see anyone carrying a gun there.

There were no conflicts or contradictions there, and certainly no gun-related incidents that are characteristic of the United States. Chu Jiang didn’t even see anyone carrying a gun there.

Even the homeless people on the street look satisfied, because they can eat and drink enough, and the people around them don’t look at them with strange eyes.

This might be the extraordinary truth of El Paso City, where everyone lives in a beautiful world, like wearing an invisible VR glasses.

But this is also cruel, the abnormality has been going on for at least three and a half days, so the residents of El Paso City have been without food or drink for three to four days. Many people have already fallen into a state of dehydration shock, and it can be said that they are on the brink of death.

As for some people with physical illnesses, they have died at home, on the streets, and in hospitals.

Of course, in the electronic world, they should not have died, still living a beautiful life, even receiving phone calls from relatives and friends from other places…

Chu Jiang doesn’t think this is a good thing, because it is not true spiritual liberation at all. The false god is just treating them as experimental subjects.

In the many future possibilities previously mentioned by Sleep Talking, there is a state where city residents transform into followers of a false god. It should be said that every consciousness still living in the electronic world is a potential believer in the false god.

After figuring this out, Chu Jiang feels both scared of the false god and astonished by the tactics of Sleep Talking.

It exhaustively explored all the possible directions for people to try, and after not finding a solution, it actually created a download terminal out of thin air, and connected to the core server, giving Chu Jiang and them a chance to escape.

This was beyond Chu Jiang’s imagination – an electronic ghost, a mysterious hacker??

No, no, no, Chu Jiang suddenly realized, if Sleep Talking is really capable of anything, able to effortlessly bypass the defenses of the digital world, then why would it make Chu Jiang and his friends do it themselves?

In theory, there was no need for them to get involved at all. Once the terminal was downloaded, it could automatically execute the program and download Chu Jiang and his companions’ data back into the real world.

Unless… sleep talking could actually bring them back out of thin air, it was just a ritual-like process to make Chu Jiang and his friends believe that it could really be successful, so they would succeed.

Even the pipeline might not really connect to the depths of the church.

In the end, the Chen family said that Sleep Talking can make people truly believe it when they hear it through a soft voice.

This part of its power should also be at work, making Chu Jiang and his friends believe that it was feasible.
