Four lines: you, me, him, her

There is a small city called Jeju in the southeast of Xijing, which is more famous than Xijing in history.There is a Jishui River that runs through the city in Jeju. The original name of Xijing, Linchuan, comes from the fact that it is adjacent to this Jishui River.Lei Yida was born in Jeju, and he swam in the Jishui River when he was a child. After returning home that night, his skin was severely allergic to the polluted river water, and now he still has a not so obvious scar on his back.The friends who were swimming together laughed at him as a delicate Beijinger, saying that when people from Xijing come to swim, their skin will suffer from allergies and herpes.As a result, within a few years, when Lei Yida was eight years old, his parents moved to Xijing because of work.

Jeju is a historical and cultural tourist city, so the population is controlled all the year round, and the heavy industry is controlled. Lei Yida still remembers the touch of the Jeju River, which is cool and soft, and does not look like it will hurt people at all.

Lei Da woke up in the middle of the night, sweating all over his body, and his scalp was covered with anxiety.The bland darkness actually reassured him a little.After breathing for a while, he turned over and picked up the communication belt beside the bed, and watched the last video his parents sent him.

In the video, they were making dumplings in their hometown in Jeju, and they sent a video specifically to anger him that he couldn't eat them.

Lei's father is a little older and has already retired to the second line, and Lei's mother is still two years away.The two of them usually lead a rich and nourishing life, and they don't often contact Lei Yida.

In the video, the last sentence of the two is "Take care of yourself, mom and dad love you".

Lei Yida got up and changed his clothes, threw the communication belt on the bed, and went out.

At this point in time, most public transportation has been suspended.Even if there was, he would not dare to choose public transportation.Chang Shan called him yesterday and asked him to go back to work today—in a few hours.Lei Yida didn't know the reason, but he believed that Chang Shan would not harm him.Chen Xingfang's reminder that day made him more or less aware of the reality.But he didn't believe it when he recognized it clearly.

He slowed down, found a suitable street corner, squatted down, and smoked a cigarette.

Three quarters of the way through the smoke, a low-altitude drone stopped in front of him.

"I haven't seen an old smoker yet!" the car called to him.

Lei Yida stood up: "Take me for a while?"

The car approached and opened the door: "But Lao Liang asked me to go back to charge after operating until three o'clock. My order receiving system has been forced to sleep."

"Oh, then I don't know how long I have to wait here for the next one..."

"Five minutes and 35 seconds, there is an empty car, passing here soon."

Lei Yida nodded: "Can it be settled without credit points?"

"Let me ask." The car paused, "No."

"The next car that is not paid for by credit points?"

"The system must be a version prior to 3.1.2. Roughly half an hour ETA."

Lei Yida finished his cigarette, took one last puff, threw the cigarette on the side of the road and crushed it.Strange, he thought, as he crushed it, that such a breach of public morality seemed so appropriate at the moment.

"What time service do you use?" He asked the car, "Adjust the system time, and then make up a passenger list, and then make me a credit point to accumulate enough discounts, and you can enjoy a free ride." , um, client."

The car was silent for an astonishingly long two seconds.

"My God! You're so smart! It's done!"

Lei Yida raised his head and laughed.

He laughed as he got into the car, and his laughter wafted across the empty street.

"Where are you going?" the car asked.

"Ping'an Avenue, Yulin Community."

After the door was closed, it went directly to the ceiling height of 500 meters.The car flew off, and Lei Yida almost vomited.The city changes rapidly beneath his feet.He never knew that Xijing was like this at night.

Half an hour later, he landed at the gate of Yulin Community.The car was in a hurry, said goodbye and ran away, leaving Lei Yida walking to the door of Li Lingchao's house like a lonely ghost.

He rang the bell.Li Lingchao didn't sleep.

At first, Li Lingchao was surprised when he saw him.

Real surprises are short and hard to capture.After being surprised, the human brain runs at high speed, eagerly looking for possible explanations and appropriate responses.Lei Yida discovered that Li Lingchao is a person who likes to be quiet.This may be due to his character, or his prudence, or his intelligence.Immediately afterwards, to Lei Yida's surprise, Li Lingchao directly opened the door and invited him into the room.

Now, Lei Yida felt embarrassed.

"Well... you are not afraid that I will bring the supervisor?"

There was only one white floor lamp lit in the room.There are also some advertisements projected on the appearance of tall buildings in the distance, changing colors on the floor of Li Lingchao's living room.Li Lingchao was wearing pajamas and glanced at him: "In my situation, the police or the national security department will directly intervene. It is impossible for you to take the lead."

Raida nodded.

"However, seeing that you came to me directly, you have already noticed me?"

Lei Yida shook his head: "To be exact, the system noticed you."

"System." Li Lingchao repeated in an exaggerated tone, "Are you here to remind me? Seriously? How much time do I have?"

"I don't know, I feel like I don't know anything lately."

"Can I trust you?"

Li Lingchao asked this sentence in the most straightforward and plain way.It was strange, because the question itself, and the way he asked it, already showed his trust.Li Lingchao seemed to realize this himself, and frowned after speaking.

Lei Yida smiled: "'He said you said I said you don't know'."

This is a lyric from the eardrum.

These words made Li Lingchao's body movements obviously relaxed.He was sitting on the armrest of the sofa, rubbing his pajama pants unconsciously, and the white light of the floor lamp hit half of his face.Lei Yida subconsciously avoided seeing it, and then noticed the communication belt that had been dismantled into parts on the table next to him.

"It seems that Dahai and the others—" the words seemed to be stuck in Li Lingchao's throat, and then he swallowed them back abruptly, "No, your reaction that day didn't look like..."

"Is this really related to Yu Jianghai?"

Li Lingchao shook his head: "I can't answer you."

"Then change the question." Lei Yida wanted to smoke, but thought of Li Lingchao's reaction to the smell of cigarettes that day, so he restrained himself, "What did you do in Duocai?"

These words aroused a little resistance from Li Lingchao.He closed his lips tightly and stared at Lei Yida in a daze.

Lei Yida then raised his left hand.

"I didn't bring a communication belt, and I haven't brought it for two days. The system probably gave me a danger warning because of this. After I found out about your problem, I tried to hide it. And, you have to be clear, what I risked The risk is not less than you, even greater than you - I only have one purpose, which is to protect Xiao An."

Li Lingchao opened his eyes wide, seeing that Lei Yida had no way to avoid it.He seemed to be unable to believe Lei Yida's fanatical fan mentality, and then he was somewhat persuaded, then stood up from the armrest of the sofa, nodded, with a smile on his face.Only then did Lei Yida realize that Li Lingchao was taller than him.

"Xiao An can make people... and is worthy of people... But when you say 'protection'..."

"Are you laughing at me?" Lei Yida asked softly.

"No, no." Li Lingchao shrugged, "It's just that I may happen to be the one who knows the most things among everyone at present-I very, very much admire you for making this choice, choosing to help me, or help Xiao An , or choose not to help them anymore. I know you are taking a huge risk, so I would like to tell you something I know."

This was the first time someone said such words to Lei Yida in so many days.

Chang Shan's attitude is subtle, as if she wants to use Lei Yida to do things she dared not do; Chen Xingfang is watching from the sidelines, and at the same time blames him, an old classmate, for not having lost his way earlier and followed his heart; Without knowing it, I just simply hoped that he would be happy, but now it has become a burden.The former colleagues and friends can't be trusted now, Lei Yida stepped into the unknown, but found that he was like a late guest, and was blamed by everyone for not knowing enough and not early enough.

His Adam's apple twitched and he couldn't speak.

It was at this time that Li Lingchao kissed him superficially.

Lei Yida wanted to follow the kiss, but the other party had already left.It's just that Li Lingchao's hand was still on Lei Yida's neck, and his thumb was stroking the stubble on his chin.

"I've noticed you for a long time. You go to almost every performance, and a few friends are familiar with you. Later, Dahai and the others kept laughing at me because of this."

Lei Yida's mind turned slowly, thinking about what "this matter" was, and whether it was what he thought "this matter".Then, he slowly understood Li Lingchao's sudden anger after seeing his communication tape that day.

Seeing that Lei Yida was a little silly because of this kiss, Li Lingchao felt a burst of happiness in his chest.The past few months have not been easy for him. "The male fan of the eardrum" is a little joy in his life. At this moment, this joy has turned into a lively fire.

"I don't know your name yet?" He asked with a smile.

That "joy" had calm eyes and a calm voice: "Lei Yida."

"Okay. Of course, you must know my name. I'll take you into the scene, and it's safer to say it in the scene."

The scene of Li Lingchao is a gray and white room, the walls are painted with the simplest light gray, there is a sofa, the sofa is dark gray, the floor is some gray color blocks, Li Lingchao is standing on the left side of Lei Yida, and The height and body modeled by Lei Yida are exactly the same, except that the shirt is blue.The blue shirt clung to his plastic-smooth skin like rubber.Li Lingchao didn't even have many details about his expression. He walked across the room, sat on one of the sofas, raised his hand, and a mirror image appeared in the middle of the room.

The image in the mirror is now still, a woman.

"Her name is Zhang Kexin, one of the three initial founders of Duocai Company. She was originally doing scene construction at Eurocat, and then she resigned with six colleagues to take over the job by herself. She and two of them provided the start-up capital, so she became a Initial shareholders. One of these three people has some background and connections in the public opinion monitoring department of the federal government, so he brought many projects to Duocai. Five years ago, the government injected capital, and their company officially changed its name to the current Duocai."

Eurocat is currently the world's largest virtual reality product company.The scene change in the mirror shows several important time event nodes of Duocai Company.These radars already have some understanding.He nodded and looked at Li Lingchao, waiting for new information.

Li Lingchao stared at him for a while.

"It seems that you already know?"

"researched."

"Okay, let's enter the mirror."

This was beyond Lei Yida's expectation.He didn't see that this mirror image was a secondary scene.Li Lingchao stood up and stretched his arms into the mirror. The mirror flickered and asked for the permission password.

"He said you said I said you don't know. Plus1."

This password made Lei Yida open his mouth.

"Voiceprint." Li Lingchao explained, "Even if you know the password, you can't get in. Besides, you can't even get in the primary scene. Let's go."

Li Lingchao took a step forward, and Lei Yida followed.Just as he was about to enter the secondary scene, a loud alarm sounded throughout the room.Mirroring is immediately turned off.Both of them were startled, and Lei Yida looked at Li Lingchao eagerly, hoping that his eyes could express something that could not be expressed in words, and then he realized that he was just a rough model.

"There's absolutely no way I—"

Li Lingchao interrupted him.

"It doesn't have to be you, let's talk about the scene first."

The next moment, Lei Yida opened his eyes on the recliner.He wasn't used to that, so it took him a few seconds to get used to the sensory stimulation of the real world.Li Lingchao had already jumped up and closed the door of the room, and then went to the server next to him to enter a few commands.After the instruction, there was the sound of electric roller blinds running in the room, and then Lei Yida saw the metal nets being lowered around the ceiling.

Raida suddenly became nervous.He was about to jump off the recliner, but was held down by Li Lingchao.

"Don't be nervous, it's a Faraday cage. I guess someone marked you on the whole network, and you will be involuntarily accepted for data access after you enter the network. To be on the safe side, I set up a The complete detection process is the most simple and crude one, any attempt to send data externally will trigger an alarm.”

Lei Yida was still nervous: "What do you mean?"

"Someone is watching you."

"Someone?"

Li Lingchao sighed: "In your terms, you have placed the bid."

Raida fell silent.He wasn't surprised, he was surprised that he wasn't surprised.

"I thought Chang Shan..."

Li Lingchao shook his head: "If the things I have done over the years have taught me anything, it is not to presuppose anyone's position. Your colleagues may also have no choice but to behave systematically. In my opinion, you are With almost no awareness of information security, I was able to check Duocai smoothly, and if I found me, it means that someone is helping you."

Reluctantly, Lei Yida understood one thing.

"You trust me because I don't have any information security skills?"

The surrounding metal roller blinds have been completely lowered and fastened.Li Lingchao dragged an old scene monitor covered with a cloth from the corner of the room.He pushed the monitor to the front of Radar, then lifted the cloth, found the joints and fastened them on his head one by one.

"I don't believe you. It's just that you don't pose a threat to me for the time being. And you have a referral from an acquaintance."

"Oh." Lei Yi nodded, "Eardrum."

Li Lingchao smiled.

Li Lingchao looks good when he smiles.He laughed and fiddled with the monitor.Finally, the monitor finally turned on. He put on the VR glasses and handed one to Lei Yida at the same time.

As soon as Leida walked up, he saw the scene they were about to enter just now.

In the scene, Zhang Kexin is close in front of his eyes, passing by his "self", and handing him something—Lei Yida realizes that this is Li Lingchao's coded memory.

"I was also in Eurocat before. Eurocat broke the news a few years ago, and it was exposed that it had been monitoring employees' network activities for a long time. This was reported by Zhang Kexin, and it was also the reason why several of them left Eurocat. Duocai voted almost before November. One of the bids for the public opinion department was to develop the fourth-generation public opinion monitoring system. Of course, this bid was won. However, half a month later, the bidding team for this bid suddenly asked for a second bid for the contract signed at the time, saying that it was because of the There are significant changes to content' and funding for the entire project has increased by 60.00%."

In the scene, Li Lingchao took the chip that Zhang Kexin secretly gave him back home. He first checked Zhang Kexin's basic situation, and then tried his best to pre-test the chip. All the tests showed that the chip was safe.So Li Lingchao opened the chip and found a systematic algorithm inside.

"This is a system made according to the customer's requirements after Colorful won the bid for the second time. I have studied this algorithm for three months, and one night I was so blessed that I realized that this is not just a monitoring system, but a screening that focuses on 'early warning' system."

Lei Yida didn't understand at first.

"From the perspective of the algorithm, the system no longer detects people who meet the predetermined conditions, but predicts people who may meet the predetermined conditions through the coupling of extensive data. Do you pay attention to information security? It is useless. Do you pay attention to your words? It is also useless. Because for the system, the system does not care what you have done specifically, it only calculates the evolution model of a certain part of the social and interpersonal network, because everything is done by people, and the federation is composed of people, the most basic unit that wants to change the status quo is still People, monitor, predict, and finally break the relationship between people." Li Lingchao disconnected from the scene, Lei Yida also took off his glasses, "There is a proper term——"

"—atomization."

This is a time when the radar unit organized a training, and the lecturer said words that slipped out of his mouth.Lei Yida found it interesting at the time, so he looked up the definition a little bit.Now it seems that he is indeed the one who pretended to sleep.No wonder his friends and colleagues thought he woke up late.

He laughed once, and then laughed again.Voice dryness rubbed against his throat.He is not worthy of Li Lingchao's understanding and favor.

Li Lingchao walked into him suddenly, repeatedly digging a groove of the VR glasses with his thumb, leaning forward, with some pleas in his expression.

"If this system goes live, we will lose all chance of resistance for at least 20 years."

This is the first time that Li Lingchao has said the word "resistance" clearly.

It was only at this moment that Lei Yida realized that too many people he knew and did not know were doing this unspeakable thing.This is something that has probably reached a large degree of social consensus throughout the country, the federation.All they need is an opportunity to act, or courage, or leadership, or organization.It's just that people have been silent for too long, and it takes a thorn to pierce the silence.

Li Lingchao is part of this thorn.

"You are very perceptive." Li Lingchao said, "You understand too quickly."

But Lei Yida was still judging what Li Lingchao wanted to ask of him.

"What can I do?" He straightened his attitude and asked.

This attitude made Li Lingchao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Two things. First, I have sent all the core algorithms of the fourth generation out of the federation. For this reason, foreign countries have provided me with political asylum. I am still waiting for my identity, and I will leave as soon as I get it. I am in the federation I can't live anymore, and I hope you don't tell anyone even if you know this. Second, there will be something in the near future that will require the help of your colleagues."

"event?"

"event."

"When does it begin?"

"It's already started." A trace of apology flashed across Li Lingchao's face, "I mean Chang Shan. Her family's background is useful."

Raida nodded.He accidentally stretched out a hand, grabbed Li Lingchao's wrist, and then covered the back of his hand, preventing him from continuing to pick the groove.

"It's ok, I'm willing to do both. But there's one more thing I have a 'feeling' to confirm."

"You said."

"How did you get picked by Zhang Kexin? She left Eurocat very early, you probably don't know each other very well."

Li Lingchao's expression was blank for two seconds, then he shook his head slightly, as if surprised.But he was struggling again, as if after talking for a long time, he finally talked about something that was not "convenient to disclose".

"You are willing to stand here, it's really... Fuck, it's a good thing you are a person with a basic sense of democracy. Otherwise, it would be too scary. Well, you promised us, and I will answer you. Zhang Kexin still had Eurocat monitors the evidence of employees, which contains a very complete database - including the speech, behavior, social relationship, credit status of these employees, etc. She ran the fourth-generation prototype system with this database and found several people, Finally picked me."

"Then you—or you, how did you find me?"

"Didn't you come to find me on your own initiative?"

Li Lingchao opened his eyes and talked nonsense, which amused Lei Yida.He suspects that Yu Xiaoyu is one of those people who "has a basic sense of democracy".

"Eardrum," Li Lingchao compromised, "through the eardrum. Dahai is the most powerful person I have ever seen in this aspect. He has the precision of an engineer and the splendor of an artist. All Sight Music works of the eardrum are released by specific groups of people. , to trigger and attract them in a targeted manner. Including Xiaoan, he is also part of the 'attraction'. I did some inverse deduction on the core algorithm of the fourth generation - use the model to find people who fit the model, and then use the characteristics of these people Tell the sea."

After finishing speaking, Li Lingchao yawned: "Are you sleeping?"

"what?"

"When you do anything, you have to eat and sleep. Otherwise, you will be in a hurry, and you will make mistakes if you are in a hurry."

When they walked to the door of the room, the metal shutter automatically rose back.Lei Yida felt that he had ten thousand words to shout at Li Lingchao, such as you have to be careful, you have to be cautious, you have to make good arrangements for your family, this is no joke, don't underestimate them, etc.But he looked at Li Lingchao's profile and swallowed every word.

The author has something to say: emmmmm. . .
