Volume 2 Rashomon of Yomi Hirasaka Prologue: Reconstruction Operation
"Are you ready?"
"You again...Are all government employees a bunch of clones?"
"You think I want to see you? I've seen your lousy face for ten years. Stop the crap and stick your head out."
The beautiful woman in uniform said impatiently, waving the access socket in her hand.
Although this person looks young and beautiful, Li Lin knows that this woman must be at least 40 years old, which is just the right age for a tantrum. The almost perfect CG-like face makes it clear how much money this woman has spent on this prosthesis.
But if you think about it carefully, this is also the current trend. Pure natural people like me are very rare. And being beautiful mostly means being pleasing to the eye. If I am beautiful, I will be more restrained in doing stupid things. After all, the age of the body will affect behavior, and most of the time when hormones and ecological conditions are adjusted, the trend should change for the better.
"Why are you still standing there? Where's your head?"
“…”
Just pretend I didn't say anything.
Taking a look at the impatient woman, Li Lin sighed inwardly and leaned his head over.
Perhaps the natural human body is just like that to this kind of digital human. The supervisor roughly pulled his hair apart and directly inserted the interface. Li Lin felt a slight chill in his head, and then a series of data appeared on the machine in the supervisor's hand.
After looking at the data displayed on the instrument, the supervisor blew a whistle.
"Oh, I didn't expect that playing games like you could really relieve my stress. I really wronged you in the beginning."
"How is it?"
"My mentality has been very stable recently. It should be because playing games brings me a lot of venting and relaxation. My cognition has not changed or distorted. I can distinguish between games and reality. I don't have to throw you internet addicts into the living pool to brainwash you later."
"Have you said enough? This is my home. If you have nothing else to do, leave now."
"Hey, you still think I'm troublesome, right? Fine, I'll leave now. Anyway, you've been in prison for ten years, let's see who dares to take you. Just sit back and wait for death. Do you think you can do anything by looking at that face of yours? I thought it was ten years ago?"
"My compensation alone is more than what you would earn if you worked non-stop for 500 years. Besides, I am a natural person and I don't want to play with your cybernetics. You have abandoned your body and modified your genes. If you are dissatisfied with the face my parents gave me, go to my parents. And I have already recorded and reported your sarcasm. I hope you will have someone to rely on in your old age in the next ten years. Goodbye."
Glancing at the auditor whose face changed drastically and who was about to pounce, Li Lin sighed and snapped his fingers.
The electronic door closes instantly, isolating all external interference. The new era of soundproofing technology can perfectly block the sounds and vibrations you think are unnecessary.
"…Forget it, I won't go out."
After taking a look at the empty room, Li Lin sighed and threw himself on the bed.
The news projected on the electronic screen was scrolling back and forth on the ceiling, but there was nothing that Li Lin wanted to see. Even if it was the world ten years later, when he felt bored and lonely, he had no way to relieve it.
Or maybe there was, but Li Lin didn't want to use that technology. As an old antique who hadn't been exposed to any prosthetic technology for ten years, he instinctively rejected any technology that put things into his head. Although he was the first pioneer of brain-computer interaction at the time, it didn't mean that he had to accept those genes and unnatural products stuffed into his body.
Using drugs to adjust was the limit of what Li Lin would accept. Even during the prison rehabilitation activities, he refused to participate in anything related to prosthesis.
Because looking at that woman you can tell that no matter how her appearance changes, her soul is still just as ugly.
It would be better to say that it is precisely because of the beauty of the appearance that the disgustingness of the soul is more apparent.
"…turn to the Les Miserables section."
Following Li Lin's voice command, the news broadcast in the air instantly switched to the official website and forum of Les Miserables.
It seems that it is really because of the big anchor that compared with the initial single-digit number of players, the current Les Miserables does not seem so bleak. The number of online players has gradually reached thousands, and the number of registered players has also reached nearly tens of thousands.
Although there are still not many people, it has gained some popularity. Newcomers have gradually started to speak on the forum, and veterans who have played for a while will also patiently reply. But sometimes there are still some discordant things. For example, a player named Alice often writes long articles on the forum criticizing the authenticity of this game and the cold-bloodedness of the players.
According to her, she had encountered many inhumane incidents, and then her mission failed. She finally ran from the place to the mission area, but found that the whole city was gone. Her identity was directly cancelled, and no one in the entire area listened to her. It was just like canceling the account and playing again. This player claimed that this one-size-fits-all behavior was extremely unreasonable and completely ignored the psychology of the players. She said she would appeal and recover her game income.
Of course, this person was naturally made a laughing stock by everyone. It was just like suing someone to get your equipment back after they destroyed it during a PK. Only wanting to win and not wanting to lose was not the mentality of a gamer. So Li Lin also went up to mock them.
"But this description seems so familiar..."
After stroking his chin and thinking for a while, Li Lin decided to give up thinking about these useless things.
Although the attitudes towards this game on the forums are mixed, the vast majority of people still maintain a positive attitude towards it. Because the game content is really very realistic, each NPC has his own thoughts and actions, just like the real world. In addition, with the mixture of different worldviews and styles, almost every player can find something they like.
For example, the foggy city where Li Lin once lived is a semi-enclosed steampunk worldview. The Black Forest that was completed during the internal test is a religious worldview that is close to the magical world and a mixture of science and magic. Other places also have their own merits and are dazzling.
Now, some people have posted some beautiful scenes on the forum. The scene is really beautiful and refreshing. Just looking at the pictures makes people feel relaxed and happy. According to players, being there in person is much more relaxing than watching pictures and videos. Li Lin, who just encountered some trivial things, was too lazy to continue any bitter and vengeful quests. Anyway, he got a little girl, so he might as well find a good place to relax.
"…Let's go play games to relax."
Looking at the pictures of various sceneries appearing on the forum, Li Lin sat up, put on his helmet, and sank into the depths of the ocean of consciousness.
