The data streams on the screen were in chaos, making it impossible to tell what was really happening inside!
Himeko knew little about the Simulated Universe. She had only heard a bit about it from Herta.
She had no idea how the device worked!
And March 7th and the others still had their consciousnesses inside!
Under these circumstances, Himeko did not dare shut down the Simulated Universe rashly.
She immediately sent Asta a message.
Asta soon arrived at Herta Space Station.
She shook her head and sighed.
"The Simulated Universe is a joint project between Ms. Herta and several of her friends. They're all top scientists from the Genius Society. The researchers at our Space Station aren't qualified to participate in a project like this."
"Then what do we do now?" Himeko asked uneasily. "Just wait for them to come out on their own?"
"I checked the Space Station's schedule. Mr. Screwllum will be visiting tomorrow." Asta glanced at the unconscious group and said, "If they still haven't woken up by then, we'll have to wait for Mr. Screwllum."
One day was a manageable wait.
Himeko moved March 7th and Stelle into life-support pods.
As for Herta, Himeko did not know where her real body was, so there was nothing she could do.
She could only hope they would not remain unconscious for too long.
Meanwhile, inside the Simulated Universe.
After a sensation much like warping through space, March 7th's vision blurred, and she found herself in an unfamiliar world.
She looked at her hands, clenched her fists hard, and exclaimed:
"It feels so real!"
"Shh!" Stelle held up a finger for silence, frowning as she whispered, "Something feels off."
"What's off?" March 7th asked. "Haven't you been here before?"
"It wasn't like this last time." Stelle looked around.
