Inside the dark cabin, only an emergency light on one wall gave off a faint glow, creating a vague, murky impression.
Ronan could not help thinking:
Was this another dream?
Was the "Interactive Test" actually this kind of dream?
Or had that dream of his simply happened to fulfill all the conditions, fitting and automatically activating the "Interactive Test" mode?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Ronan's mind. Then he gave a rather immersion-breaking command:
"Auntie Kui, report the operational status of the Inner Universe Simulator."
Without hesitation, she displayed the information as Ronan intended:

Code operability rate: 39%. Self-correction rate: 27%... Data overflow is relatively severe. It is recommended that the code be corrected and Space-Time Silhouette mode activated.
Auntie Kui had not only reported on the Inner Universe Simulator's condition; she had also incidentally reported Ronan's abysmal test results.
Ronan did not even have time to feel ashamed of his accuracy rate before he noticed that, while Auntie Kui was making her report, the space he occupied—or, more precisely, the rhythm of dripping water—had clearly begun to slow.
