The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

"No." He looked up and said, "Unfortunately...I decline your proposal."

Both Adelaide and He Huaizhou were stunned, and He Huaizhou asked in surprise: "Why? We are not stingy with the conditions we put forward, not to mention, as Aqin's elders, isn't it reasonable for us to ask for his things back?"

Wen Zheliu exerted a slight force on his toes, and pushed the chair a distance away from them. He stared coldly at He Huaizhou with a surprised expression, and Adelaide with a serious face, and said word by word: "When will He Qin 'let go' to me?" Alert'?"

He Huaizhou was stunned, and then smiled wryly: "No... I'm old, and I can't recognize the deviousness of you young people. Listening to what Aqin said, I thought you were very good friends..."

"Stop talking." Wen Zheliu interrupted him, "The more you say, the more mistakes you make. Not only did he never let go of his guard against me, but he also warned me from the first day he knew me. Me, don't have too much hope for other people's kindness. I can see that his identity and character doom him to "letting go of his guard" when he meets someone the first time. As his elders, Why not as good as me, a stranger who has only met once?"

"He kept hinting at me during the conversation, and sent me the message of 'He Qin is different to me, so you are willing to treat me preferentially', thinking that this would relax my vigilance and let me hand over his dog A card?" Wen Zheliu's eyes were dark, and the warm smile that was on his lips just now was gone at the moment.

Wen Zheliu is indeed a optimistic, cheerful, contented and happy person. However, the living environment he grew up in made him have to learn the ability to observe words and emotions, so as to escape the perennial sneer and beatings of the foster family.After years of training, his insight into human affairs has become quite keen. From the time he got on the suspension car and talked to the lawyer, he instinctively felt a subtle sense of disobedience. The unintentional temptation made him affirm his own thoughts even more.

"Little classmate, don't think too much." He Huaizhou waved his hand quickly, and Adelaide beside him was also looking at Wen Zheliu with the eyes of a madman, "Yes, I admit that we said this to let you relax as soon as possible. But you can't either..."

Wen Zheliu tilted his head, lifted the leather rope hanging the dog tag with one finger, and smiled at them.

From the day he got the Hutchison dog tag, he had strung it together with his own so as not to lose it. At this moment, these two delicate metal tags of the same size but with different patterns were dangling on the knots. spin.

"When I entered the room, I always wanted to ask," Wen Zheliu said, "is the light here a little too white? As you said, you two are getting older. Since you are old people, why don't you stay here?" Wouldn’t the eyes be uncomfortable in a room with this kind of light? Or is this color of light used to cover up something?”

A puzzled look appeared on He Huaizhou's face, he opened his mouth, and said slowly and helplessly: "Little classmate..."

"He Qin's job rank is extremely high, so his dog tag should be encrypted with the highest authority, and those who are lower than him, or those who are not allowed by him, can't see the content at all." Wen Zheliu said, " From the beginning, I was also one of the people who were not allowed, so when I was in Nova City, I couldn't read the writing on the dog tag, but I thought, you will be the same."

His lips opened and closed, and slowly spit out a name: "...Ceresa."

The expressions of He Huaizhou and Adelaide froze for a moment.

"Since it started, I've been thinking, when exactly did you develop your own consciousness and decide to rebel? Your current methods are swift and decisive, but you must have a very long latent period in the early stage to avoid N The company's supervision. But just now, when I observed He Qin's dog tags, I suddenly understood that you have been closely monitoring him, at least since he entered the Nova City."

"You don't have permission to see his dog tag, but you know that I have seen it in the real world, so you should use my memory to project an appearance that I have seen in reality to deceive me. But you seem Forgot one thing..."

Recalling the day when Liu Tianxiong took off his VR helmet, Wen Zheliu couldn't help but twitched his lips, "...Speaking of which, I have to thank that cheap guy, people's memory will preserve the things that are impressive to me to the greatest extent. On the one hand, and my deepest impression of this dog tag is in a dark room, under the dim light."

The two dog tags were still shaking slightly, and one of them actually refracted a color similar to dusk, which was absolutely impossible to appear in the surrounding light as bright as day.

"And this extremely white light is to cover up the possible loss of memory projection? Under this kind of light, it is common sense that the handwriting and patterns on it cannot be seen clearly, but it is a pity that you are self-defeating."

In an instant, everything around is disappearing rapidly, the ground, tables and chairs, and the large floor-to-ceiling windows with elegant and simple arcs... The whole space suddenly becomes extremely vast, and countless data streams are laid out in the sight, re-forming a snow-colored boundless space. world.

"He Huaizhou" and "Adelaide" stood side by side, looking at Wen Zheliu, who was also standing opposite them, with a blank expression. They said in unison, even the width of their lips opened and closed: "Only for these two reasons, Can you spot me?"

Even though he had been prepared for a long time, seeing all this with his own eyes still shocked Wen Zheliu. He tucked the dog tag back into his collar and snorted warily: "The third reason, it's okay to tell you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the images of the two top leaders of the N-Star company in front of him were like two pools of quicksilver that melted suddenly and were then fused together by external forces. They twisted and bulged, and gradually poured out the pure white image of Sister Teresa. Snow's slender figure.

While guarding, he said slowly: "It's very simple, that is, when you answered my words, you didn't show any abnormality about the fact that I have fragments of 3S-level props."

"Oh?" The holy nun tilted her head like a little girl, her soft and pure perpetual veil hangs down to the ground, she looks really holy and noble, but Wen Zheliu will never regard her as a normal intelligence again life to look at.She curved her red lips and asked curiously, "Why?"

Her expression, posture, and even the attitude of asking questions are no different from a real living person. Goosebumps can't help but goose bumps all over her body when she hears Zheliu. He replied: "Because brother... He Qin sent me a There was a sentence mentioned in the letter - 'About how you obtained that 3S-level fragment, we will talk about it online'."

The holy nun paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "So that's how it is..."

Wen Zheliu stared at her every move cautiously, and slowly said: "I don't know how many monitoring channels you have in Company N, but when I saw this sentence, I vaguely understood one thing, that There must be something wrong with the source method of my fragment, so he specifically mentioned it in the letter. But you..."

"But as one of the executives of N-Star Company and the chief designer of Nova City, I didn't tell you this in time." The nun took over the conversation, "Ah... this is my negligence. I The precious blood of the Father from the cross covered all sins, but it failed to cover the mistakes I made..."

Wen Zheliu said coldly: "Plus | you seem to take full responsibility, but in fact you are justifying the AI ​​inside and outside the words... Well, now it's my turn to ask you. He Qin in the end Where, and when did I fall into the trap you set up?"

The holy nun put her palms together and made a prayer gesture: "Since the lost lamb is so smart, why don't you guess for yourself, when did you fall here?"

She avoided the first question, but Wen Zheliu was imprisoned and was powerless against this AI, which is considered a god in the virtual world. What about the LCD screen?"

The holy nun smiled and said, "Lost lamb, my father's spiritual light shines on you!"

Wen Zheliu snorted coldly, and already thought in his heart that he must have smashed the screen in a hurry and fainted after being electrocuted, and then was seamlessly connected to her virtual world by this monster-like AI, and was forced to watch her act. Such a good show...

"I guess, He Qin's dog tag must be of some importance to you. No matter what, I will not give it to you." There is no way to snatch it from me. What do you want to do next, just kill me?"

"My father's heart is merciful." The holy nun shook her head and chuckled, "Look at your inventory, isn't it already in there?"

Wen Zheliu was stunned for a moment, and a translucent floating bar suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

In a daze, he suddenly reacted!

Although Uncanny Valley is a one-shot real-time game, its mechanism is no different from that of ordinary game worlds.In an ordinary game world, the punishment for player death is nothing more than spraying coins, losing equipment, and dropping levels; Will become a vegetable, there is no way back.

If Celesa kills him now, He Qin's dog tag will only turn into turbulent data and disappear into the boundless virtual space; if he enters the uncanny valley and dies as a player, the dog tag will be immediately judged as an item by the system It exploded, and was subsequently recovered by Celesa!

"You...!" He was startled and angry, and as soon as he blurted out a word, Celesa in front of him opened her arms and said loudly: "Welcome to the uncanny valley, may the glory of the heavenly father shine on you!"

The overwhelming flow of data surged towards him, grotesquely spiraling in front of him to form a bottomless passage, he couldn't avoid it, yelled, and fell headfirst into it.

At the last moment of losing consciousness, he saw the back of Holy nun Theresa's fully exposed hand while flipping——

——A red snake with its tail forming a ring is tattooed on it, and a clear and regular pentagram of the same color stands inside it.
