Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 8 Pure White
"…It's been less than half an hour. Why did you call again?"
"Hey, I just want to meet you, is that okay?"
"It's not impossible. After all, you helped me a lot..."
Looking at the smiling girl on the electronic display screen, Li Lin sat on the sofa and sighed.
Half an hour ago, Zhang Lingmeng sent him the results of her investigation, which were very detailed and basically confirmed that there was no problem with his life and the prison. There were also several papers in the notes that pointed out that prisoners of that era often had similar conditions after psychiatric treatment.
After all, technology was already very mature at that time, but prison management was still not very mature, and sometimes some unpleasant things would happen. So it was common to take some mental cleansing drugs afterwards, or simply use props to deal with it. But even though the mind was cleansed, there were still some residues in the body. It was natural to have instinctive rejection, disgust, and even hostility.
Faced with nearly tens of thousands of words of arguments and related materials, and even web links and reports, Li Lin had to believe it even if he didn't want to.
Moreover, Zhang Lingmeng looked pale and about to faint at any time. Everyone knew that she had spent countless efforts for these materials. Even Li Lin would feel bad that a young girl had become so overworked because of his messy idea.
Although the self-checking system had inexplicably added a month to its time, Li Lin no longer had any problems with it. After all, the evidence was there, and friends and other sources had already been contacted, and everything was confirmed to be fine. The AI wasn't going to say anything particularly suggestive, so what else was there to say? Could it be that the whole world had united to deceive him and build a Truman show? Don't be ridiculous, Li Lin didn't think that a mere game champion like him could make such a big news, at most it was just that his thoughts were a little redundant.
If you think about it carefully, you have been a nervous wretch since you came out of prison. After you got the A-level authority inexplicably, you become suspicious of everyone and think there is something wrong with them. But doesn't this prove that you don't trust AI? It is normal to open a self-examination and take away the authority. Since you have made up your mind, you should face it with peace of mind. Faced with tens of thousands of words of papers and evidence from all over the world, Li Lin finally calmed down and felt that there might be something wrong with his thinking circuit.
But looking at the mental color test next to Zhang Lingmeng's head, Li Lin was slightly stunned by the pure white. This was the second time he saw pure white besides himself, and this extremely rare color still made him raise some questions.
"But speaking of which, your mental hue test turned out to be pure white?"
'Hmm? What's the matter?'
"I just think this hue is very rare. Is it some special state? When I first came out of prison, I seemed to be pure white. It was just for that period of time."
Li Lin thought about it and said directly, which earned him a matter-of-fact expression from Zhang Lingmeng.
"Of course it's rare."
The girl was rocking in her swivel chair, looking at the country bumpkin with contempt, but soon she couldn't help laughing.
'It's rare because only people whose minds are disturbed or reset and cleansed will turn pure white. Then, as the brain nerves are repaired and other units cooperate, they will gradually return to their original appearance. But when the nerve unit is damaged, no matter what you think, it will be pure white. Ah, but the violent behavior system can still be seen, after all, it's not broken.'
Seeing Li Lin's thoughtful expression, the girl quickly added something and dispelled some bold ideas.
After solving a question in his mind, Li Lin nodded in understanding. Then he looked at the girl with some surprise.
"Really? Then why did you turn pure white? Did you also cleanse your memory?"
"It seems so. I left a message to myself, saying that I saw a lot of bad things in prison, so I erased my memory for safety reasons. I think that's it. But I don't think it's too serious. Maybe I didn't take inhibitors at the time, so I scared myself?"
"It's better to use less inhibitors... But what kind of things happened in prison to make people feel so disgusted after entering that they even want to use memory cleansing to erase that part of their memories? Could it be that I was actually treated in some unimaginable and ugly way in prison, which made me look like I was shaking? If that's true, I might choose to become a cyborg..."
"Ah, don't worry, I don't think it's because of these reasons. Although there is no reason, I don't think it's because of these reasons."
"…Are you sure I wasn't sexually assaulted in there?"
'Absolutely not, I checked the records.'
Seeing Li Lin's skeptical expression, Zhang Lingmeng pointed to the sky and the earth to indicate that this was absolutely not the case, although she didn't know whether it was true or not.
But at this time, the most important thing is to have peace of mind. It is a good thing to be able to comfort people. But judging from Li Lin's inexplicably disappointed expression, he probably wouldn't believe Zhang Lingmeng's words. After all, it was a prison where you had to be brainwashed and deny your memory after you came back, so it was normal for something to happen.
'Yes, yes, the trailer for Les Miserables should be out now, right? I want to watch it with you!'
Looking at Li Lin who was inexplicably depressed, Zhang Lingmeng racked his brains to think, and then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"I want to see what role you, Li Lin, played in it? Li Lin must have appeared in it, right? I know you were in the first expansion pack CG? The voice at the end was Li Lin, right? How about we watch it together now?"
"Ah? We still want to watch it together? We've already watched it all just now?"
"That was me thirty minutes ago. I haven't seen it yet!"
"Okay, okay..."
Looking at the little girl cheering, even Li Lin, who had seen it once, could only sigh and let the little girl act coquettishly.
He turned on the projector as if he was familiar with it, and then found the pinned post on the Les Miserables forum. There were still about two hours before the server was launched, and the forum was already full. Amid the cheers, Li Lin clicked on the promotional video with an awkward expression, and then watched it with Zhang Lingmeng, who was looking expectant.
