secret movie

Duan Shu remembered that this scent was exactly the same as the tiramisu he brought out of the refrigerator that morning in the virtual world, even the shape was exactly the same.

The high-end and sophisticated instruments detected the changes in the neural activity of his brain, and the warning light was turned on in advance. The group of researchers who had seen him before he entered the world had already been waiting by the side, with nervousness and eagerness.

In the ups and downs of the Zeus system, his spirit has not been truly relaxed, so after returning to reality, tiredness surged up immediately, and his consciousness became blurred, especially when he saw a long-lost anchor After that, the mood suddenly relaxed, and I was about to fall into the ocean of dreams.

In the haze, Duan Shu seemed to hear Qi Yan's voice intertwined with the low voices of those colleagues.

Have they ever tasted tiramisu like this?

With this somewhat irrelevant question in mind, Duan Shu fell into a strange half-asleep and half-awake state, as if he hadn't fully awakened after anesthesia, and his consciousness was separated from his body. He could feel the researchers surrounding him, cautiously assess and judge.

He also heard his own confused voice: "How many days have passed?"

Soon someone answered him: "Six days, so far there is no problem, don't worry, you are very tired now, get a good sleep first."

He is still trying to open his eyes, as if something has not been resolved: "But..."

The deep and magnetic voice replied before hearing the question: "I will put it in the refrigerator."

Thus, Duan Shu fell into a peaceful sleep.

The heavy darkness surged in, and colorful colors quietly lit up.

In his grotesque dream, he saw the back of a man standing in a warm and brightly decorated kitchen, holding an egg beater in his hand, skillfully whisking egg yolks and cheese, and pouring them into molds.

The smell of baking is floating around, warm.He was walking towards the kitchen, getting closer to the man.

In the next second, the field of view switched, and a familiar voice sounded in my ears: "How much cream do you want?"

"A lot." He heard his own brisk voice, "I will brush my teeth well."

The man just smiled: "Really?"

Duan Shu tried hard to see the appearance of the person in the dream, but he couldn't do it, as if there was a hazy veil in front of his eyes.

When he tried to open his eyes again, the dream came to an abrupt end.

He woke up in a clean and bright room with a soft mattress. He slept for a long time. It should be a prepared room in this research building, with the smell of sunlight everywhere.

He vaguely heard Dr. Chen's voice floating in through the crack of the door.

"I want to see the test data...this is my patient..."

Duan Shu pressed the calling bell beside the bed, the door was quickly pushed open, and Qi Yan and Dr. Chen came in together.

"Did you sleep well?" Qi Yan looked completely different from the one in Zeus's world, still wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, with a cold expression, "You have a very responsible doctor."

Dr. Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he woke up, and complained casually: "I see you haven't contacted me for a few days, so you came here, but you fell asleep as soon as you came out, and they refused to disclose more information , said that the data should be kept confidential. How is it? Is there any discomfort?"

Duan Shu felt his body, and replied: "It's fine now, every part feels normal."

Dr. Chen was stunned for a moment before realizing: "You mean... the nerve perception has returned to normal?"

Duan Shu nodded, feeling incredible in his heart.

Qi Yan stared at him for a while, and added: "It's temporary. The test data shows that you have experienced such an improvement during the experience, and then there are abnormal fluctuations again soon. It may only be in the stage of temporary improvement now. Medium. But at least it proves that this treatment is effective."

This time, even Dr. Chen didn't refute. He hesitated for a moment, and said rather embarrassedly: "Can't I really see this data? Will you publish papers later? I don't need those confidential core data, I just want to know The possible reason behind the improvement of Mr. Duan's symptoms..."

Seeing Qi Yan's expressionless face, Duan Shu couldn't help but said: "As a subject, can I see these data that are closely related to my body? Dr. Chen helped me a lot during the previous treatment."

Only then did Qi Yan's expression fluctuate a bit, and he said to Dr. Chen: "You can discuss this matter with my colleague next door. Now I still have a lot of questions to communicate with the experiencer."

He shook the notebook in his hand.

Doctor Chen's eyes lit up immediately, and after a brief chat with Duan Shu, he ran out to find Qi Yan's colleague.

In the spacious room, only he and Duan Shu were left.

The air instantly became quiet, and Duan Shu sat up from the bed, watching him go to the chair beside him and sit down.

"Are there many questions you want to ask?" Qi Yan's voice softened a bit.

Duan Shu did have many questions, but the most important thing at the moment was one question.

"Did we... know each other before?"

He looked straight into Qi Yan's eyes, and there was no evasion or hesitation in it.

"I know." Qi Yan's tone was calm, "but you forgot."

In fact, Duan Shu had already expected this answer, but when he heard this sentence from Qi Yan, his heart still had an indescribably complicated emotion.

What level of awareness?Why is there no trace of this person in the notepad of his computer?

But this question was obviously cruel to the forgotten person, so he couldn't ask any more.

"Feel sorry."

Qi Yan shook her head: "It's not your fault."

He quickly ended this brief topic, and introduced a slightly stagnant atmosphere into the official business: "Is there any other question you want to ask?"

Hearing this, Duan Shu was silent for a long time, scenes of deeply imprinted images flashed in his mind, and his words were a little dry: "You... do you know in advance how I will choose?"

Whether it's the piano-playing dinner, the well-arranged hot spring villa, or the Li Jianian who cherishes him, all the people and events he chooses are designed to be rich and wonderful, and even have a lot of fit with his real experience, bringing Give him a very special experience.

This also means that Qi Yan anticipated every step he made in advance.

"I'm never out of script, am I?"

In the second half of the story, he once thought that he brought a new life to "Duan Shu" and broke through some kind of barriers for himself, but now it seems that it is just an illusion.

The words Li Jianian said at the end may just be the lines written by Qi Yan in advance, not the so-called self-awakening of the brain.

Everyone in this story seems to have changed dramatically, but never deviates from the core character of the original setting, even Lu Zhi, who switched situations with him.

Duan Shu did take the main character of the brain-like generation away from the original ending. The bleak ending in which "Duan Shu" was quietly destroyed when the secret of the substitute was exposed also gave Lu Zhi a taste of something that did not exist in the original script. A lot of negativity, but the character never changes.

Lu Zhi doesn't understand true love. He only has conquest or failure in his life. He doesn't regret missing love, but he is unwilling to fail again, because he is a brain-like person who insists on going his own way and only proceeds according to logical conditions. , is also the epitome of those emotional losers.

Hearing this question, Qi Yan was silent for a moment, and then talked about a seemingly unrelated topic: "Do you know Lin Zi's full name?"

Duan Shu was at a loss for a moment: "Lin Zi?"

He thought for a while before he remembered who this person was.

It was one of Qi Wenxiao's two attendants, the person who called to urge him before the dinner started.

He always thought it was a background character, so he only took a look at him when he was looking for Qi Yan in the small role, and he has no memory of him since.

Qi Yan's tone was flat: "In the script I wrote, he had a crush on the protagonist of this story, but the protagonist obviously focused more on Qi Wenxiao, so he never showed it, but in Qi Wenxiao's halo, he used Watching each other silently in your own way."

Duan Shu didn't notice this at all, he was surprised, and then listened quietly.

"If you don't know how to deal with the triangular relationship between Lu Zhi and Li Jianian after the beginning of the story, or feel that seeing Li Jianian so soon is a trap that will end the story early..."

He listed various possibilities: "Or you simply want to avoid the sudden contradictions and conflicts, then when Qi Wenxiao calls to invite you to a dinner, you will try to refuse, so you don't I will see Li Jianian."

"When some of my colleagues participated in the test, most of them would carefully familiarize themselves with these characters. If you also have that tendency, you will try to live at the pace of the original protagonist. During the contact with Qi Wenxiao, you will Because of his attitude, some negative emotions surged up, Lin Zi will definitely try to comfort you when you are lost and depressed."

There was something evocative about his tone of voice.

"Everyone has different choices. Maybe you saw the protagonist's past from the video, or maybe you didn't try to check his mobile phone at all, and failed to discover the secret behind the number of days to quit smoking."

"Anyway, I guess the scene may be in the quiet alley behind the noisy nightclub again, but the characters have changed, and a sincere crush approaches you, such a dim light is always easy to fall in love, and then You chat, you know his full name, Lin Feng."

"During your contact with him, you gradually feel that both Lu Zhi and Qi Wenxiao have lost their meaning. From then on, a completely different plot line will start. You will carry Lu Zhi on your back and go out to play as always, but not to vent your depression, but to see that people."

Duan Shu was already in a state of astonishment, until he was awakened by Qi Yan's question: "Did anything happen to Qi Wenxiao afterwards?"

After reacting for a while, he murmured: "At the end of the story, he was admitted to the hospital because he had a conflict with his friend. Is it Lin... Feng?"

"Yes, before you left, did you succeed in taking revenge on Qi Wenxiao?" Qi Yan adjusted his glasses, "His personality is like walking on a tightrope, he can easily lose everything and fall into madness. After being rational, he will want to find the source of all the changes."

"That's why Lin Feng stopped him." Duan Shu took his words in a daze.

"In the script, he will give everything for the person he loves." Qi Yan's voice could not discern emotion, "but you haven't approached him, so you have no way of knowing."

What he didn't say was that if Duan Shu remembered the encounter five years ago, remembered the cafe, and walked in curiously on the first day when he went out, then everything that followed might be related to Lu Zhi, Li Jianian, and Qi Wenxiao. It has nothing to do with it, it has become a story of him and Qi Yan.

"I once told you that you need to explore the setting, but that doesn't mean that everything has been preset. I have buried infinite possibilities in the script. Everyone will interpret the fragments of this character's life in their own way. It’s an embodiment of their true selves, some of them will chase the thrill, some will choose to avoid it.”

He stared at Duan Shu: "Like you, you chose to face the danger of Lu Zhi immediately, and risked being wiped out in the next second."

"You don't just want to live according to the script, you just don't dare to release your heart openly, and even need the cover of the script and others."

For example, Li Jianian.

Duan Shu stayed by Li Jianian's side for a long time, and under the influence of this person who was completely different from him, he felt that he had changed.

But in fact it was not Li Jianian or Yu Nian who changed him, but he chose them.

He chooses to be changed.

Li Jianian is the person he misses the most in the virtual world evolved by Zeus.

He is nostalgic for the reckless and free self.

Duan Shu knew that it was a fictional character, and it was based on the characters he had played, so he shouldn't have any real feelings for him.

But he still clearly remembered the painter's chestnut hair and warm embrace, as if it was just yesterday.

"If... I continue to participate in this experiment, can I still see him in the next world?"

Qi Yan stared at him with a restrained tenderness in his eyes.He seemed to want to raise his hand to touch the top of Duan Shu's hair, but finally stopped.

"No, but you can love who you really are."

Qi Yan stood up and said softly to him, "Go and eat the cake."
