After the initial interrogation, Chen Xing tidied up and said to the "16-year-old human girl, also a member of the Human Rebel Alliance, Jiang Xuannv" in front of him: "I don't know what your situation is, but I want to tell you, if you are deliberately pretending to be mentally ill because you fear the consequences of breaking the law, then you are making a big mistake!"

"Mentally unstable patients cannot attend university and will be advised to withdraw or take a leave of absence!!"

Chen Xing emphasized, staring at him, seeing that the other party remained indifferent, as calm as a child truly raised by robots, without much emotional fluctuation.

After a long while.

"Alright."

Chen Xing rubbed his head and said to the other party: "Based on the current situation, you have severe schizophrenia and have fantasized yourself into an underage girl."

"Jiang Xuannv" looked down at his thick chest and shook his head, saying: "Are you sure this isn't a virtual network? In the virtual world, people can easily change forms."

Chen Xing shook his head and said to him: "Your real name is Lu Xing, you are twenty years old this year, and you are a junior at Hai City University."

Seeing that Lu Xing remained unmoved, Chen Xing sighed and said: "You deliberately damaged someone else's property. Fortunately, the amount is not large and does not meet the standard for filing a case. Plus, you are a student, and Hai City University is a key university, your studies are not easy... Forget it, I'll contact your counselor first."

With that, he left Lu Xing in the interrogation room and walked out with the transcript.

He muttered to himself: "What is this... Could it be that the stress of studying has led to schizophrenia?"

In the afternoon.

When Lu Xing opened his eyes again, he saw his counselor, Li Xiao, looking at him with a face full of surprise, as if he had just heard something incredible from his mouth.

"Counselor Li?"

Lu Xing tried to ask. Counselor Li was stunned for a moment and also asked him: "Lu Xing, you... are back?"

"...Yes!"

Lu Xing's expression was incredibly colorful. He had just experienced the most incredible thing in his twenty years of life. With a blink of an eye, he had arrived in a futuristic, dreamlike and beautiful city, seeing all sorts of things that shocked him.

With another blink of an eye, he was back in modern times!

It felt like a dream, but what he saw and heard in the dream was unprecedentedly real!

"Let me confirm first."

Counselor Li Xiao, who had been his counselor since his freshman year in the computer science class, asked him seriously: "You are now the twenty-year-old human male Lu Xing, not the sixteen-year-old human rebel member Jiang Xuannv, right?"

"Her name is Jiang Xuannv?"

Lu Xing finally reacted. It was highly likely that he wasn't dreaming or transmigrating, but rather swapping bodies with that girl with slender limbs, short hair, and a small face!

It was similar to a movie called "Your Name," which Lu Xing happened to have seen.

"Counselor Li!"

He took a deep breath and forced a smile at Counselor Li: "I am Lu Xing now, a student at Hai City University. Just now... just pretend that what happened didn't happen!"

Li Xiao became angry: "Didn't happen? Then what was going on with you just now?"

"Uh!"

"Also, why did you break someone else's phone?"

"What?"

Lu Xing looked surprised, wanting to argue, but didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Chen Xing walked in from outside, chatted with Li Xiao, and asked about Lu Xing's condition. Seeing that he had returned to normal, he patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully:

"Can you distinguish between virtual and reality now?"

"Virtual? Was her side a virtual world?"

Lu Xing finally reacted. No wonder that world felt so strange to him.

The two people in the room exchanged glances. Alright, this guy's still not right!

Evening.

After borrowing two thousand yuan from the counselor to pay back the person whose phone was broken by "him," Lu Xing dragged his weary body back to the dormitory.

"Sixth Brother is back?"

Qi Wenyu, who was playing a game in the dorm, said casually, turning down the volume of the external speaker.

"Yeah."

Lu Xing was listless, throwing his things on the table. He glanced at his impressive 15-2-8 record and sighed, "I knew I shouldn't have gone out during the National Day holiday. I had terrible luck today, lost two thousand yuan!"

"What?"

Qi Wenyu quickly glanced at him, then continued looking at the screen. "What did you do today? Got caught getting a massage in the village?"

The village was Chengdong Village, not far from the west gate, with hundreds of massage and foot bath shops.

Lu Xing was from the south, and "Lu" sounds similar to "six," hence the nickname Sixth Brother. His parents passed away early, and he had few relatives. He relied on loans to attend university, and two thousand yuan was his food expenses for two months.

After chatting with him for a few minutes, Lu Xing sat on a chair, thinking about what happened today.

He was almost 100% certain that he wasn't dreaming or suffering from schizophrenia, but rather had a soul exchange with a girl from a future world—named Jiang Xuannv.

He transmigrated and became Jiang Xuannv, and Jiang Xuannv transmigrated and became him, a soul swap.

It was just that this exchange, he didn't know if it was a one-time thing or multiple times, and if there was a pattern to follow?

Wait!

Lu Xing suddenly remembered something. He quickly took out his phone, opened WeChat, scrolled down the interface, and sure enough, found a mini-program called "Life Experience Game" on it!

He clicked it open, and a few words came into view:

Currently playing...

"!!"

Lu Xing's expression was a sight to behold. This mini-program was an opening ad he saw when he clicked on a certain software. Shaking the phone would jump to the mini-program, which was incredibly annoying.

"I remember seeing several beautiful women in the ad at the time, from different races, with various styles, and the art style was very much to the taste of old-school otaku. The ad copy even said things like 'exciting and wonderful' and 'dreamy and beautiful,' so I just clicked a few times..."

Recalling what happened this morning, Lu Xing tried clicking within the mini-program, but found that nothing happened. After closing and reopening it, it was still stuck on "Currently playing."

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Xing ultimately couldn't bring himself to delete this mini-program.

It wasn't that he wanted to become an underage girl; he wasn't that perverted.

Rather, after witnessing the virtual world of Earth countless years in the future, he developed immense curiosity.

What would a human world ruled by artificial intelligence be like?

How far would future technology have developed?

How would the resistance forces like Jiang Xuannv fight against the artificial intelligence that imprisoned all of humanity in the virtual world?

Furthermore, was it possible for him to bring back something from future technology, like a two-dimensional foil, a sophon, a space elevator, a wormhole ship, or quantum teleportation?

Even if he could just bring back something simple like controllable nuclear fusion technology, maglev, or superconductors, it would be enough to send him to the peak of his life!

As for artificial intelligence technology, he'd pass on that. The future people had already messed it up; Lu Xing didn't dare touch it. Lu Xing learned about that world from Director Li, but because Director Li was worried about him having another mental breakdown, he didn't tell him too much.

"What are you spacing out for, Sixth Brother? Still thinking about your two thousand yuan?"

After a game ended, Qi Wenyu looked over and smiled.

"No. Right, if I suddenly turn into someone else, remember to explain it to me."

"What?"

"...Never mind, pretend I didn't say anything!"

Lu Xing shook his head again, feeling a mix of anticipation and apprehension. The "Life Experience Game" advertisement was full of beautiful women. Could it be that the next time he swapped, he would still turn into a girl?

If there are men, I won't play; if it's all women, don't leave.jpg

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xing picked up a pen.

"My name is Lu Xing. When you see the contents on this paper, please don't panic..."

On the paper, he introduced his personal situation, school, dorm mates, meal card, mobile payment password, etc. His purpose was to tell the person who might cross over again that this world was not controlled by artificial intelligence and that the dorm was very safe.

The reason he gave his payment password was just in case the other person wanted to buy something. Anyway, he didn't have much money in his bank card, less than what was on his meal card.

After writing, Lu Xing remembered there was a blonde foreign beauty in the advertisement, so he wrote an English version as well.

An hour later.

With a mix of anticipation and nervousness, Lu Xing lay on the bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.
