Exit the subway and walk straight along the road. Before reaching the entrance of the building where Kunlun Technology is located, the huge logo with leopard tail and tiger teeth is already in sight.

The logo is as imposing as Yang Hui in Shen Zhengying's memory.

The human body with leopard tail and tiger teeth is the description of the Queen Mother of the West in the "Shan Hai Jing", and it is said that the Queen Mother of the West lives in Kunlun Mountain. It is not difficult to imagine how much the founder of Kunlun Technology loves the myth of the Queen Mother of the West.

The logo at the door is menacing. When you enter the building, an entire wall displays the peripheral products of Kunlun Technology's games.The Q version of the human body with leopard tail and tiger teeth can be seen everywhere.If Yang Hui also had a Q-version model, Shen Zhengying smiled.

After registering at the front desk, get a temporary door card, press the elevator up button, and the moment the elevator stops in front of you, Shen Zhengying feels anxious and unconsciously pulls down his shirt and cardigan.Usually wearing dark cotton and linen clothes, in the words of Sun Shuxue and Jiang Yuming, it is a sack. The sack is her protective color. She is not used to changing her style and returning to the so-called normal crowd.Fortunately, the big-frame glasses, as the last line of defense, can give her a sense of security.

Doors open, doors close.

There were young faces in the elevator, but no familiar figure.

Shen Zhengying let out a soft breath.

Good luck.

After drinking afternoon tea with Sun Shuxue on Tuesday, when I got home at night, I received a call from Yang Hui.

"Are you busy recently? If you have free time, come and help me with my project reference, and earn some money for milk powder by the way."

Yang Hui, a celebrity in the technology industry, an Internet tycoon, and the CEO of Kunlun Technology, rarely speaks pleasantries, and goes straight to the topic after saying hello.In his memory, Yang Hui was capable and shrewd, and it was rare for him to speak in a playful tone.

"My son is already in graduate school, so why does he still earn money for milk powder?" Shen Zhengying was dissatisfied.

"Your son also needs money for milk powder. Our project is a pioneer in the industry, and it has been fully realized technically, but ethically, I need professional advice. Our company has psychological assessors. If you are a teacher in the Department of Psychology, I will Find a psychiatrist, multi-dimensional assessment, so that people can be at ease."

I met Yang Hui more than 20 years ago. At that time, Shen Zhengying had just graduated from university. Instead of following her parents' orders and going to work directly, she married her ex-husband Jiang Bo and had children first.At that time, Jiang Yuming was not yet born, and she went out to do errands with a big belly. Someone competed with a pregnant woman for a seat. Yang Hui stepped forward and scolded the person.

At that time, Shen Zhengying felt that Yang Hui was too powerful to be an ordinary woman, but he did not expect to see him again in an academic occasion a few years later. Yang Hui was already a well-known figure in the scientific and technological circles.A lot of sociable teachers were trying to promote the school's industry-university-research research. Shen Zhengying asked himself if he had that ability. Seeing her was a little embarrassing. He was about to run away when someone stopped him.

"I thought you would be a full-time mother."

One sentence choked Shen Zhengying half to death.

"Women should still have their own careers."

In recent years, I have heard the slogan SheforShe, and Shen Zhengying thinks that Yang Hui is the pioneer of this slogan.

The friendship between the two has not been far or close over the years. Not far means that the contact information will be updated in time after each upgrade, and not close means that they like each other on social networks.Yang Hui is very busy, flying to and from several countries, and the number of times the two meet is only a handful.

Shen Zhengying couldn't refuse Yang Hui's request. She was also very interested in this project called Real Illusion. Few people knew that Teacher Shen was keen on the virtual world.

But when Yang Hui sent out the invitation, she hesitated immediately.

That mysterious little girl named Hu Lailai is an employee of Kunlun Technology and is participating in the Real Illusion Project. What should I do if I meet her.It was obvious that they had planned not to show up that day, and they couldn't get over the mountain, so I went to the mountain.

Reason told Shen Zhengying that the farther away from that little girl the better, but...

But Yang said the project involved hundreds of employees.

There was a strange coincidence, Shen Zhengying agreed to go to Kunlun Technology Company first to have a look.

Probably, you can't touch it.

When I got out of the subway, I felt guilty, and when I entered the elevator, my heart was pounding. I was afraid that a familiar face would come in from the next floor, and I would act like I owed a little girl a lot of money.

When Yang returned to the floor where the office was located and followed his assistant into the office, Shen Zhengying's heart gradually became more at ease.

Ordinary employees will not easily enter the CEO's office, and the people who report to the CEO are basically middle and high-level managers. From the perspective of the girl's circle of friends, she has not yet reached this level.

But what are you nervous about?

People in their forties face the crowd all the year round, give classes to students, and train employees of enterprises. Except for the nervousness at the beginning, they are very familiar with it later, and come with their mouths open.How can I be so flustered and flustered like I am now.

Shen Zhengying attributed his uneasiness to the embarrassment of witnessing his son messing around outside with the little girl.Don't say that the other party is my son, even a stranger, watching pornographic movies together is equally nervous.

Wanting to understand why, Shen Zhengying made up his mind.

The boss in the office has floor-to-ceiling windows on one side, and you can see tall buildings everywhere. When the air is clear, you can see the river view from a distance, and the vision is very wide.

The interior furnishings are simple, and several pieces of furniture are lively in color, very western style.

Shen Zhengying has met many entrepreneurs, but those who grew up locally have basically similar office decoration styles, either the furniture is dull or antique.

It seems that not using dark red mahogany furniture is not enough to reflect the identity.

Yang Hui's furniture is very modern, with ergonomic chairs and electric desks that can be raised and lowered, which match her status as a bigwig in the technology industry.

The assistant handed over a bottle of Perrier water, "Mr. Yang will be here soon, Mr. Shen will sit down for a while."

Shen Zhengying took the water, and the slightly salty sparkling water entered her mouth, reminding her of the bottle of Fuji in Hu Lailai's car.

After drinking two sips of water, Yang Hui led a young woman in.

The young woman is about 30 years old, wearing a khaki windbreaker, shirt, trousers, and a pair of high-heeled shoes.

"Here comes Zhengying. Let me introduce you. This is Guan Shiyun, a psychiatrist at Hospital X, and Shen Zhengying, an associate professor at the School of Psychology of University H."

There was a flash of surprise between the two at the same time, and they shook hands and said hello to each other.

"Hey, Zhengying, you owe a lot of money to others. Wearing such big broken glasses, I'm afraid that the creditor will recognize you."

Shen Zhengying adjusted his glasses, smiled, and didn't intend to take them off.

Yang Hui also took a seat on the sofa, and after sitting down, he took out a box of Dragon Beard Cake from the drawer of the coffee table and placed it in front of Guan Shiyun.

"How long have you kept it? Don't tell me it's expired." Guan Shiyun didn't appreciate it.

"Doctor Guan will know the date just by looking at it." Yang Hui explained with a smile.

Shen Zhengying's eyes swept over the two of them, his face was invisible, and the gossip antenna in his head was erected.

There are tricks.

If she didn't know what Yang Hui's daughter looked like, she would almost have thought that Guan Shiyun was Yang Hui's daughter.Although the facial features of the two are not the same, their charms are quite similar.

Guan Shiyun really looked at the date carefully, and after reading it, he asked Shen Zhengying: "Teacher Shen, would you like one?"

Shen Zhengying shook his head and refused.

"I briefly told you about the real illusion project on the phone before. Users enter the illusion through the device. When entering the illusion, they rely on their brains to operate, but their bodies are in a quiet state. I am worried that users will not be able to distinguish between virtual and reality if they use it too much. Consequences. Of course, we can set the usage time and force logout after how many hours, but it does not rule out that some people will be addicted to it.”

"There is such a good thing." Guan Shiyun said casually, "If you can live a normal life without distinguishing between the virtual and the real, it's a kind of happiness not to distinguish."

Shen Zhengying was surprised for the second time, he didn't expect that these words would come from a psychiatrist.The inability to recognize the virtual and the real is a manifestation of cognitive dissonance, and it is the responsibility of psychiatrists to treat patients with cognitive dissonance.

"Adolescents' excessive exposure to the virtual world is not conducive to their physical and mental health. Especially adolescents are still in the stage of physical and mental development. Too much blurring of the boundary between reality and illusion will affect their social interaction and judgment in the real world."

"It's in line with Teacher Shen's identity." Guan Shiyun tore off the wrapping paper of the dragon beard cake with his hand, and said, "But Teacher Shen, how can it be real? The brain sends us signals, telling us that what we touch and see is real. , but does it really exist? For patients with delusions, their brains also give them corresponding signals. For them, what we cannot perceive is also a real existence. But how do you judge whose signal is real? You See, our reality is just a set of signals."

Shen Zhengying glanced at the smiling Yang Hui, "Doctor Guan also said that he was a delusional patient. I often hear students say that games are wonderful and paper people are good. I would rather live with paper people. Real illusions are not just paper People. Although maybe one day in the future, the boundary between real and virtual will become less and less important, and people will tend to live their real lives in the virtual world. This is their choice, yes. But the important thing is that we have to Knowing how the game affects their choices, what the consequences are, whether there are risks."

These are clichés within the project team. Yang Hui is more concerned about how open the game can be at the current stage, and whether it will distort the perception of reality while the user's sense of immersion increases as the game time increases.

Yang Hui clapped his hands, "Real Illusion is the future development direction, and it is a cross-generational product. As far as I know, besides Kunlun, several technology giants around the world are developing it, but no practical application has been launched so far. It is all about ethics. Inviting the two of you to participate is a start, and the focus of the project in the future will turn to the issue of openness. It is useless to say more, after you sign the non-disclosure agreement, I will let you experience it.”

The confidentiality agreement had already been mentioned on the phone, and Shen Zhengying and Guan Shiyun had no objections.

After signing the agreement, Yang Hui took the card from the assistant and handed it to the two, "Temporary access card and meal card, the food here is good, much better than the hospital and school. If you have nothing to do recently, you can come and experience it more. Let's talk about other things when we have fun. Doctor Guan and I have other matters, so you can stay. Zhengying has arranged a contact person for you, and you can contact her more often if you have something to do."

Before Shen Zhengying had time to think about anything else, someone knocked on the door and came in.

The little girl who was younger than Guan Shiyun was in her twenties, with delicate features and familiar beauty.

Shen Zhengying's heart beat violently several times, he really came to whatever he couldn't think of, who else would it be if it wasn't that mysterious Hu Lailai.

Today's Hu Lailai has changed from the lively and playful appearance of the past, with soft curly hair hanging over his shoulders, with a femininity that Shen Zhengying has never seen before.

"Leach, I told you a few days ago that we need to find some foreign aid. Dr. Guan and Teacher Shen are the ones. I handed Teacher Shen over to you. It happens that you are in charge of the psychological evaluation and communicate with Teacher Shen more often. Teacher Shen is here for the first time. , you show her around first."

"Okay, Mr. Yang." Hu Lai agreed very simply, without showing that he knew Shen Zhengying at all.

Just now when I saw Shen Zhengying through the glass at the door, I was shocked, but after calming down, I was secretly happy.

Heaven has a way, you don't go, hell has no door, you cast yourself.

The boss sent you to me, which is naturally the biggest arrangement of the boss.

Shen Zhengying suppressed her flustered heart, coughed softly, "No, it will delay her job."

Hu Lai smiled slightly, and said in a tone that couldn't be more serious: "You are too polite, this is also my job."
