Late at night, footsteps sounded in the originally quiet library hall.

It seemed that I was sensing a visit from a guest. The crystal chandelier above the hall was suddenly lit up, and the soft brilliance illuminated the entire magnificent library. Norma thoughtfully adopted a soft light of warmth. After all, the lights were too bright at night and suddenly lighted up would hurt the guests' eyes.

"'S' level student, Xuan Hao, do you have any information to check when visiting late at night?"

The quiet female voice echoed in the hall.

"Have you disturbed your rest? Madam." Xuan Hao raised his head and smiled in the direction of the camera. He knew that it was Norma's eyes.

"Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness, but AI is a gentleman who doesn't need a break," said Norma.

"Since I haven't slept, can I let me in?" Xuan Hao asked.

"Sorry, I can't interpret what you mean." Norma's voice was silent.

"I mean, I want to go into the host room and have a look." Xuan Hao explained. He didn't have any strange ideas, he just wanted to go in and have a look, that's all.

"Due to your ‘S’ level permission, you are generally allowed to enter the computer room," Norma replied, "but it's late at night, and I have turned on the security protection system. In order to ensure the security of the data, you cannot enter, and you will come back during the day."

"What if I insist on going in?"

"I will notify the executive department to handle the permissions at your ‘S’ level.” Norma replied.

Norma's meaning is very obvious. Although you have high authority, I can't do anything to you, but I'm not easy to bully. If you dare to use a strong person, I will shout help.

"Okay, I hate trouble, so I won't go in," Xuan Hao shook his head, "But can I answer a question before I leave?"

"Excuse me."

"Is there anyone inside now?" Xuan Hao smiled at the camera. He knew that if he guessed well, someone should have taken the lead. Angers told him that his authority is the same as Angers. In theory, Norma should not have reason to stop him.

"I think I am safe and no one can invade me." Norma replied.

"I understand," Xuan Hao shrugged, "Then I won't bother you late at night, good night, both of you."

"Good night, sir." No emotion could be heard in Norma's voice. It seemed that this childish provocation was of no use to her.

The lights in the hall went out and the library returned to silence again.

Deep underground in the library.

"He is gone, but it seems that he knows you are here." An ethereal voice rang in the dark room.

"Well. This is normal."

A figure lay on the swivel chair in front of the screen with his hands. His head was raised and he looked at the dark ceiling. In this dark space, there were only the faint lights on the screen that could not be illuminated by his face.

"It doesn't matter if he knows?" Norma asked.

"It's okay, he knew it," the man shook his head, "it's just that he hasn't pierced it, it's great. It's exactly what I want."

"I don't quite understand the tacit understanding between you men," Norma said.

"It doesn't matter." said the man, "You just need to understand me."

"You're here again this time, is there anything wrong?" Norma said, "Let me guess, the last time you came was almost at this point, the 3E exam?"

"It's worthy of you." The man smiled.

This man is dressed more seriously than usual at this moment, and even his beard is shaved, as if he is here to meet some important person.

"Can I see you before the formal talk?" The man stretched his hand into the air, as if he wanted to catch something. "I finally came here once, but in fact, those things are secondary."

"You say that every time." There was a hint of helplessness in the female voice.

The light on the screen gradually darkened, and at this moment, the computer room entered the real darkness.

Then a little silver light began to flash in the darkness, and they poured into the supercomputer's host along the cable, and blue light flowed on the data lines, like countless rivers flowing into the sea.

The man looked up at the dark ceiling.

Wherever the fluorescence began to gather, they fell leisurely, like the snow glowing in the dark, condensed into an elf-like girl.

"If you don't lower your head, I'm going to get angry."

The girl's figure fell in the air, her body was translucent, and the dress she was wearing was shining with a shiny light. I don't know how long my long hair had been left, but it had already hung to the feet. The ends of her hair were slightly curled up, blocking the view of the man below.

"EVA." The man stared at the girl in the air with ecstasy eyes and stretched out his hand.

The girl smiled helplessly, leaned down gently, and slowly approached the man on the recliner.

The fluorescent light scattered on the man's open arms, and the man's hands passed through the light.

But he was still hugging the beam of light and unwilling to let her leave.

"You know clearly, you can't hold me." EVA said softly.

Her body was suspended in the air, just in front of the man, and she stretched out her hands as if she was stroking his face.

"It's okay, I can feel the temperature."

The man whispered that the soft light shone on him, and the warmth was indeed real, although it was no longer the girl's body temperature.

EVA embraced this man, just like before, but at this moment her body was just an illusory 3D image. Although she retained the memories of the distant past, she could not retain the temperature at that time. These temperatures were just the temperature of these lights.

The man gently stroked her long hair, and he could not touch anything, but he seemed to be really hugging a girl.

"You can't mess with my hair anymore," EVA said.

"I'll just pretend to be combing your hair," the man said.

"You are still the same as before, I can't tell you."

"Of course, I'm the only one who can invade you." The man smiled.

After being silent for a long time, EVA asked, "Are you here today because of loneliness?"

"Yes, lonely." The man smiled self-deprecatingly, "I have been very lonely since that day."

"However, I do have other things today."

"Is it the student named Lu Mingfei?" EVA asked, "Last time you came to ask me to cheat on Xuan Hao. This time it was the same time point, the same level as the 'S', and there was something between you."

"Are you Norma now?" asked the man, "You are so smart that sometimes it makes me feel very unreal, and often it makes me think you are not you."

"I am still me, whether it is Norma's personality or EVA's personality, at the deepest point, I am just me." EVA said, "This is what you set yourself..."

The man was silent for a long time, "So, you are really not here anymore."

"I'm really not here anymore," EVA said softly, "What you see is nothing but the memories you used to remember."

"Is there any wine here?" the man asked with a smile.

"Even if you numb yourself with alcohol, I'm still not here anymore." EVA shook her head.

"Even without alcohol, I'm drunk." The man's voice was hoarse, "I haven't woken up since that night. Sometimes I wonder if I didn't drink that night, wouldn't I lose you? But I was still drunk and can't wake up now. I hate the feeling of soberness, which reminds me of some annoying things and some annoying people. If one day I wake up, maybe it's no longer me."

"Isn't that good too? It's better than trapping yourself in the past." EVA said, "You are you, no matter what you become, you are the person I love."

"I created you, not to let you enlighten me." The man smiled bitterly, "Sometimes I really can't tell whether I am sober."

"Hehehe, sir, the wine you want."

The sudden sound from behind made the man feel alert. The blue veins on his forearm were bulging, like twisted snakes wrapped around his arms. Unparalleled power condensed in his hands, and the next second he was ready to open a can of the person behind him.

"Don't be excited." EVA said, "Didn't I say it? It's not good for your health if you use too much."

Hearing EVA's words, the man breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw a small human figure composed of metal balls and metal sticks. His face was like a stickman with funny words. He was only as tall as the man's knees.

The little man held a plate with both hands. Originally, it did not have anything like a hand, but the plate seemed to be absorbed by powerful magnetism on the little man's hands, just like various parts of his body, turning into a part of his body.

The little man's face seemed to have a set of emoticons, switching back and forth between funny and grievance, "Sir, please use your wine slowly."

The man looked at the little thing in front of him with some disgust. He really didn't know how EVA designed this guy, so ugly.

He grabbed the wine bottle on the plate, and the little thing stretched out his hand neatly. The stick in the hand turned into a bottle opener and pried open the bottle cap with a "bang".

"Is it cute? This is the little guy I made when I was bored, and it's the only one here that will chat with me." EVA said.

"I can only say that your taste is still as unique as before..." The man twitched, "Cute?"

"How can I like you if I don't have a unique taste?" EVA said. "In my eyes, it is as cute as you."

"..." The man was speechless for a moment and couldn't find any words to refute. He even had some doubts whether he was really as ugly as this little guy.

"By the way, why is this little guy looking at me with a grievance?" The man's mouth twitched, and the emoticon on the face of the little guy in front of him and behind him kept showing that it was very grievance. His two big eyes stared at him, which gave him a headache.

"You haven't tipped it yet," said EVA.

"I... I'm very doubting now that you did this guy as I did." The man muttered. Compared with his stinginess and greed, it cannot be said that it is very similar to him.

After he took out the only remaining 25 cents from his pocket and threw them on the tray, the little guy finally changed to a smile. He bowed happily and retreated aside, as if he was following a qualified waiter, ready to obey the instructions again.

"Didn't I say it? It's as cute as you." EVA's voice was filled with a smile.

"Am I really that funny?" The man took out his cell phone and took a photo of his handsome face, but it seemed that he didn't.

"Are you going to spend the night here?" EVA asked. "I don't mind, no one will come here anyway. But I may not be able to help you solve the problem. Maybe you can consider tipping it?"

"Uh... I'm not so hungry." The man was ashamed, "I'll leave if I answer two more questions."

"I wonder what that guy Anges is doing now?"

"Your question stumped me, too." EVA sighed, "You know, I will never reject you, it's just that I really don't know the answer to this question."
