In the stairwell of the Ladybug General Store, Green was holding Han Dong by the shoulder, chatting and laughing as they walked down step by step.
"Nicholas, when you met the City Lord earlier, your expression was a bit strange~ It seems like you've already met 'privately.' Was it during the hour you disappeared at the Ladybug Store before we arrived at Infinite City?
Speaking of which~ I can tell that this body, while highly compatible with my consciousness, shouldn't be my original form.
You should already know the essence of this game, Nicholas, right?"
"Indeed~ The bodies in the game are not our original ones but 'consciousness receptors' made by the game company, perfectly matching our consciousness and having restraining effects.
The moment the game starts, our consciousness is confined within them, making it difficult to break free.
Only when we completely clear the game can we return to our original bodies."
