~9 min read 1,729 words

Computer after computer was placed in the office, each one turned on, with different characters displayed on the screens, like some special programming language.

"Where am I?" Ye Nan got up from the ground, dazed, looking around, feeling bewildered.

"How did I end up here?"

He still remembered that he had opened a channel to another dimensional universe through the Large Hadron Collider and shuttled over, and then...

He couldn't remember anything else. His memory stopped abruptly after he entered the channel. He couldn't remember what happened afterward, as if someone had forcibly dug it out of his memory.

"The memory ends here; something must have gone wrong." Ye Nan thought to himself. He scanned his surroundings and roughly figured out the environment he was in.

This was a small office. Looking outside through the glass, there were many independent micro-workstations. Calling them micro-workstations was actually just separating them with some wooden boards and the like.

"It seems I have some status here." Ye Nan smiled bitterly, looking at the many computers in front of him. He didn't know what to do. In his memory, he knew nothing about computer programming.

"Ye Nan." Outside the door, a fat man with big ears pushed the door open and walked in, his fat body swaying with a rhythm.

"Your task today is to finish these things." The fat man threw down a stack of papers. "Remember, it's today. If you can't finish it, get out."

Speaking of 'get out,' a hint of pride flashed across the fat man's face, as if he were very happy to be able to decide the fate of others.

"Okay, I'll pack my things and leave immediately." Ye Nan calmly didn't pick up the papers on the ground, letting them lie there.

"What?" The fat man, having reacted, raised his voice. "Do you know how long you begged to get this job? It's impossible for you to find another job like this if you go out."

"I know." Ye Nan said in a deep voice, slowly tidying up his clothes. Then he pulled out some things that clearly belonged to him and packed them up. "But no matter how high the salary for this job is, I won't continue doing it."

He didn't understand programming, so no matter how high the salary was, he couldn't do it. Another most important point was that he wanted to understand this world.

According to the settings, he should have shuttled to Earth, but this scene was clearly not Earth. At least it wasn't the Earth he had chosen, because the Earth he had chosen had already experienced the apocalypse and couldn't possibly be this prosperous.

After saying this, Ye Nan got up and left.

"Wait a minute." The fat man suddenly panicked. "Actually, we can talk about it, for example, the salary, for example, my tone just now—these can all be changed."

Seeing that Ye Nan really intended to leave, the fat man panicked. After all, employees like Ye Nan who did the work of six people were rare, even though he only took the salary of three.

"I don't want to continue doing it." Ye Nan ignored the fat man's words and walked out directly.

"Honey." Walking towards him was a beautiful woman with short golden hair, wearing tight leather clothes, looking heroic and spirited, with exquisite features exactly the same as when the Slaanesh envoy seduced him.

Ye Nan immediately became vigilant. He suspected that he had fallen into the hands of Slaanesh and that this was an illusion.

"Honey." Seeing the vigilance in Ye Nan's eyes, the woman's heart felt as if it had been pricked, and a hint of sorrow appeared. But soon, her sorrow disappeared, and she maintained her smile. "Honey, what's wrong with you?"

Suspecting that the beautiful woman in front of him might be a Slaanesh envoy, Ye Nan moved his body away from her without changing his expression. "I quit."

"Why?" The beauty exclaimed. "You worked so hard to find this job; why are you quitting?"

"Because I don't want to do it anymore." Ye Nan knew well that the more he said at this time, the more he would be wrong, so he spoke very briefly.

"You came just in time." The fat man chased out from behind. Seeing the beauty, his eyes lit up first, and then he trotted up. "Look, he only worked for a few days and he's quitting. I've never seen anything like this. You have to persuade him well."

"If you don't want to do it, then forget it." The beauty scanned the surrounding environment and then showed a look of disgust. "The working environment here is really too poor. Quitting is fine. Why don't we go back?"

"Okay." Ye Nan agreed. Regardless of whether this was an illusion or something else, he had to figure it out first. And clearly, this beauty knew him, even though he had no memory of this.

The two left the company together. Ye Nan was still carrying the things he had packed, which included a computer, a mobile phone, a leather bag, and some odds and ends.

"Honey, tell me, when should we get married?" As the beauty spoke, she became shy. Her two fair hands were intertwined underneath, and there was a hint of crimson on her face.

"Get married?" Ye Nan almost screamed. Fortunately, his composure was sufficient. But even so, a monstrous wave rose in his heart.

From the current situation, this beauty should be his girlfriend, but he didn't know this beauty at all. He didn't even know what her name was.

"What, you don't want to? That's true, every time I talk to you, you are hesitant and won't settle it. I also know that I am too impatient." Although she said this, the beauty was clearly disappointed.

"Perhaps I should wait for you, wait for you to make a decision yourself. But you also know that women and men are different; they are always prone to aging."

Ye Nan listened quietly but didn't answer. He didn't know how to answer at all. He still hadn't figured out where he was, whether it was an illusion or something else.

"Hello, Ye Nan."

A woman wearing a low-cut, backless dress walked over. Her short black hair made her look very clean and neat.

Ye Nan stopped and turned to look over.

"Who are you?" The beauty beside Ye Nan asked on his behalf.

"I am Cui Cui Nidi." Cui Cui Nidi said.

Cui Cui Nidi? Ye Nan chewed on this name, feeling as if he had heard it somewhere before.

While Ye Nan was struggling to think of the name, the beauty had already exclaimed, "You are that hacker Cui Cui Nidi who invaded the IRS database?"

"That was a long time ago." Cui Cui Nidi smiled.

"My God, what are you doing looking for my Ye Nan? He won't help you." The beauty pulled Ye Nan behind her, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and said aggressively, "I warn you, stay away from my Ye Nan, otherwise, I'll call the police and arrest you."

"I came here to protect your man." Cui Cui Nidi didn't care about the beauty's hostility. "Your man's situation is very dangerous. As someone who has awakened, he is on the Matrix's wanted list."

"What danger, what awakening, what Matrix wanted list? Explain it clearly." Ye Nan became confused all of a sudden, and he felt that the beauty in front of him seemed to know something.

"I can't tell you these things for the time being." At the critical moment, Cui Cui Nidi spoke in riddles. "I can only tell you that someone is monitoring you. But if you want to get rid of the monitoring, you must join us and fight together to welcome the Savior."

"Savior?" Ye Nan was even more confused. He was already very confused, and now a Cui Cui Nidi had come along, saying a whole bunch of things he couldn't understand at all. But Cui Cui Nidi didn't seem to be lying, which made his brain almost crash.

"Don't listen to her." The beauty's momentum became even stronger. "She is just a hacker. Pulling you in is to tempt you to commit crimes. You must not listen to her."

Her figure almost completely blocked Ye Nan, as if she wanted to completely isolate Ye Nan from Cui Cui Nidi.

"I said, that was a long time ago." Cui Cui Nidi crossed the beauty, walked directly to Ye Nan's side, and whispered in his ear, "I know you are confused, and I know you are suspicious. I know even more about the unease in your heart, because I am the same as you. I once doubted my own existence and doubted this world. But he found me, and he told me the answer and told me the truth of the world. If you want to know the truth of this world, then join us."

"Only by joining us can we serve the future Savior, uncover the mysteries of this world together, and then break it and return to the world we should have."

"Who is the Savior?" Ye Nan asked.

"Neo."

Cui Cui Nidi moved away from Ye Nan's ear. "Remember my words. I hope you can make the right choice."

"Matrix, Savior, Neo, hehe." A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Nan's mouth. He finally knew what the secret of this world was. But afterward, he became confused again.

"Why am I here?"

If he hadn't guessed wrong, this world was the Matrix world, which meant this was The Matrix. But what puzzled him was why he appeared here.

He still remembered that he had passed through the black hole, and what happened afterward was a blank. He knew clearly that the answer he wanted to know was in the blank memory.

"If I want to know the answer, I must retrieve the blank memory."

Ye Nan thought to himself and focused his gaze on the beauty. "I have roughly forgotten some things. Can you tell me properly?"

Ye Nan used the 'pretending to have amnesia' method. Anyway, he knew nothing about his current identity. Rather than being exposed and suspected by others, it was better to say it himself.
