Butterfly dream life

Yu Xiaoduo was still in the car one second, and was sitting here inexplicably the next.

This is a pure white closed space, no windows, no doors, only a table and a chair.

And the sexy beauty in front of me.

Yu Xiaoduo sat on the chair in a daze, his mind was blank, literally, it was really blank, and there were only two memories about himself:

First, his name is Yu Xiaoduo.

Second, he was in a car just now.

The beautiful woman on the opposite side looked at him with a smile, Yu Xiaoduo hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Who are you? Why am I here? Why can't I remember anything?"

"Hello, dear volunteer 007." The beauty said, "Welcome to the Sigmund Institute of Human Psychology. I am the artificial intelligence Diaochan, and I am very happy to serve you."

A row of question marks slowly appeared above Yu Xiaoduo's head: "Volunteer 007? Institute of Psychology? What do you mean?"

The beauty raised her hand, and a projection appeared in the room out of thin air, with densely packed words, numbers, and pictures on it.

"Let me explain to you." Beauty said, "Our research institute successfully developed a brain-computer system last year, which can connect with the brains of volunteers and construct a real virtual world for them."

"Volunteers collect valuable data for us by traveling in the virtual world and completing tasks, helping scientists to study and explore the mysteries of the human spiritual world."

"This morning, you signed a volunteer contract with us. Your number is 007. I will send you to the corresponding virtual world later. After the task is completed, the brain will automatically log out for you, and the contract has been fulfilled."

"Next, I will give you details..."

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Yu Xiaoduo interrupted the beauty's chatter, and said puzzledly: "You said I signed a contract with you? What kind of brain and computer do you need to connect your brain to? What virtual world do you enter? Why don't I have any impression? Are you a scam? Group?"

Beauty explained: "In order to avoid the influence of real world memory on volunteers, after the contract is signed, we will perform a minor operation on the volunteers to temporarily seal the memory stored in the hippocampus of the brain, and unseal it after completing the task. "

"You've had surgery, so you don't remember anything, we only have your name in memory, but from the first sentence you said to me, your brain will function normally."

"That's not right." Yu Xiaoduo subconsciously said, "I still remember that I was in a car just now..."

"That may have slipped through the net." The beauty said, "Surgery does not guarantee 100% that the memory is completely sealed, but it does not affect your next mission."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoduo suddenly felt terrified.

Brain surgery?Amnesia?

contract?virtual reality?

What is this!

He suspected that he was kidnapped by human traffickers, but why didn't he have the slightest impression of his own background?As if born out of thin air, he sat here the moment he became conscious, listening to the nonsense of the woman in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I think you made a mistake."

Yu Xiaoduo got up and wanted to leave, but there was no entrance or exit in the whole room, and there was no way to escape.

He was like a trapped animal, circling in circles, restless, and finally had no choice but to sit back in the chair again, staring at the beautiful woman opposite, with a look of panic.

The beauty seemed to have expected him to do this, she just smiled, and with a wave of her hand, the projection screen switched instantly.

The next moment, Yu Xiaoduo saw a super scary scene.

He saw himself lying on the bed with dozens of colorful threads inserted into his head, and a white coat walking around beside him.

"You are not here in reality." The beauty said.

"What do you mean?" Yu Xiaoduo trembled.

Beauty: "You in the real world are now in the laboratory of our research institute, your brain has been connected to the brain-computer, everything you see now is the virtual world created by the brain-computer for you, including me too. "

After speaking, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from her body, and she turned into a handsome guy in an instant.

"Hello." The handsome guy said, "I am the artificial intelligence Lu Bu, but Diao Chan just now is also me."

Yu Xiaoduo: "..."

"Now you can trust me, right?" the handsome guy said, "Your reaction is normal, every volunteer will be like this after the memory is sealed."

Yu Xiaoduo was dumbfounded, and after a while, he reluctantly nodded.

The handsome Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "Then, dear volunteer 007, do you have any questions?"

Yu Xiaoduo thought for a while, raised his hand, and said weakly: "I want to take a look at the contract."

"No problem." As Lu Bu raised his hand, a gigantic contract cover appeared on the projection, and then the pages were turned slowly and automatically.

There are a lot of words in the contract, Yu Xiaoduo has no time to take care of the content, so he can't help but ask to quickly turn to the signature. Lu Bu understands it, speeds up the page turning, and soon reaches the end page.

Seeing the place where the contract was signed and his flamboyant signature, Yu Xiaoduo was struck by lightning.

That's right!It was indeed his handwriting!

His signature is very characteristic, that stroke, that tick, that handsome... Hey, isn't it?Since the artificial intelligence said that his memory was sealed, why did he still remember the signature?

Like a roundworm in his stomach, Lu Bu didn't wait for him to ask, and said, "We have also saved the memory of the signature for you, just because we are afraid that you will not recognize it when the time comes."

"Then you still said that you only keep the name memory for me." Yu Xiaoduo finally caught the bug of artificial intelligence, and immediately questioned.

"Because that's how the process is set up." Lu Bu said with a good temper, "I will record this point for the record, and hope that the programmers will fix this bug soon."

Yu Xiaoduo: "..."

"But this is not important." Lu Bu said again, "Because many volunteers will question, since memories can be sealed, can they also be transformed? In response to this question, we have set up a more convincing process. The following will to show you."

Yu Xiaoduo was thinking about this, but the other party brought it up first, so he hummed and motioned him to show it.

With a wave of Lu Bu's hand, the projection screen switched, and a person appeared in the painting, and Yu Xiaoduo's pupils shrank immediately.

——The person in the picture is himself!

"Hi! Yu Xiaoduo." The self in the picture called him.

Yu Xiaoduo felt that this scene was extremely strange, and couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

In the painting, he turned his head and spoke to the people outside the camera, mostly complaining that it was awkward to record a video for himself, and the people next to him responded in a low voice, but couldn't hear the content clearly.

"I am you, and you are me." Yu Xiaoduo said in the projection, "You may not remember anything now, but you must trust the people here and what they say!"

"I, that is you, oh my god, it's so tongue-twisting!" he complained in the video, "Anyway, I participated in a research project and signed the contract as volunteer No. 007."

"Why did you participate in this project? The answer is simple, that is, if you complete the task, you will get a huge reward, [-] million!"

"One hundred million!" He emphasized again in the projection.

Yu Xiaoduo's eyes widened immediately, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"You must be shocked now?" The other party smiled, "So much money! You can get it as long as you complete the tasks in the contract, and the tasks are not too difficult, it's like a pie in the sky! So I signed it, um ……That's it."

"Dear myself, I can't say too much, because they say that the real memory will interfere with my behavior in the virtual world, thereby affecting the accuracy of the experimental data. I'm going to have an operation soon. As for the task, and other related information, they will tell you."

"Bye-Bye!"

After the video playback ended, the projection returned to its original appearance.

"Dear 007, do you believe it completely now?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Yu Xiaoduo opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

Although he is skeptical about this Video——

——Since everything in front of me is virtual, it should be possible to create a virtual self in the video, and then talk about some settings... it should be possible, right?

But now he can neither escape nor change anything. Apart from passive acceptance, there is no other way to choose. He can only believe what they say, and treat all this as real for the time being, complete the task, restore his memory, and return to the real world .

"Okay, I accept." Yu Xiaoduo said resignedly, "You can issue the mission now."

Lu Bu: "Okay, no problem."

After speaking, several messages instantly penetrated into Yu Xiaoduo's mind.

【Virtual World Background】

It is equivalent to the real world, including the five continents and four oceans, as well as various countries, etc., all of which are the same.

【Volunteer 007】

The task executor, referred to as the executor 007, is named Yu Xiaoduo in the virtual world, and the character is gay and pure zero.

【Volunteer 008】

The subject of the task is the subject and data provider, referred to as the experimenter 008, who is set as a straight man in the virtual world.

【Virtual World Mission】

The executor 007 chased the experimenter 008 and became his real boyfriend, that is, the straight guy 008.

【Mission Success Sign】

Experimenter 008 is willing to establish a love relationship with executor 007, and saying "I love you" is set as a sign of success.

[Mission failure sign]

Experimenter 008 explicitly refused to establish a romantic relationship with executor 007, and the failure sign was determined by the brain-computer itself.

【Task Assistance】

This task will equip the executor 007 with a system assistant, which can be summoned through consciousness, and the daily communication will be carried out in the brain. The assistant will assist the executor 007 to complete the task.

"Dear 007." Lu Bu said, "If you have any questions, feel free to bring them up."

Yu Xiaoduo had read all the information in his head, and now his face was twitching, staring at Lu Bu.

What's the problem?

Everything is a problem, okay?

He raised his hand again: "May I ask why my setting is gay or pure zero?"

Lu Bu replied: "Because the executor needs a native gay, you are a natural zero in the real world."

Yu Xiaoduo thought twice!He is actually gay in reality?

No wonder I didn't react when I saw the beauty Diao Chan just now, but after she turned into the handsome Lu Bu, my heart beat at least 50.00% faster!

"Then why is the task to break up a straight man?" Yu Xiaoduo asked.

This task is really wonderful!

"The task is related to our research project." Lu Bu said, "This project is to study the origin of human sexual orientation. The specific content is confidential, so I can't tell you."

Yu Xiaoduo said in his heart, okay, okay, you have the final say, anyway, it's not important, it has nothing to do with me completing the task.

"Also, I want to know," Yu Xiaoduo asked, "Why is there so little information about 008? Is he also a straight man in the real world?"

"According to the existing data, the experimenter 008 is a straight man in reality. As for other information, I will know it later when I input the memory of the virtual world for you."

"Is the situation of 008 the same as mine?" Yu Xiaoduo asked again, "The memory of reality is also sealed, and only knows his mission?"

"008 is different from you." Lu Bu said, "As a data provider, all real-life memories of 008 have been completely sealed up, and he has been given the memory of the person in the virtual world. He now only thinks that he is a member of this world."

Yu Xiaoduo couldn't help lighting up 008, thinking that the experimenters were so pitiful that they didn't even know they were living in a virtual world.

"The last question." Yu Xiaoduo said, "What the hell is that little system assistant?"

"The little assistant is a mini artificial intelligence." Lu Bu said, "It only exists in your mind. You can chat with it, ask questions, and let it make suggestions for you."

"Then how do I activate it?"

"Just call it in your head."

"How to call?"

"Call it by name."

"What's the name? Can you stop jumping out every sentence?"

"Jobs."

Yu Xiaoduo: "..."

Seeing Yu Xiaoduo instantly petrified, Lu Bu smiled and said: "The developer of the little assistant is a die-hard fan of Chief Qiao. Although he has passed away, he hopes to use this method to let Chief Qiao be with us, Amen!"

Yu Xiaoduo: "........."

"Dear 007." Lu Bu said, "Do you have any other questions?"

Yu Xiaoduo murmured: "No, no more..."

"Then next, I will input the memory of the virtual world for you." Lu Bu said, "After the input is completed, you are no longer in this scene, but where you should go."

Yu Xiaoduo suddenly became terrified—what is the place to go?

"Wait! Where should I go?"

"You will know this when the time comes. Please take a deep breath, close your eyes, and start recording the memory."

Yu Xiaoduo had no choice but to do so, and within a short while, he felt a white light flash in his head, and then his whole body was in unbearable pain, and he completely lost consciousness in an instant.

The author has something to say:

In 2020, Musk announced that his company Neuralink had developed a brain-computer system. So far, it has successfully docked with a pig and a macaque and manipulated them to behave accordingly.

In 2021, Zuckerberg changed Facebook's name to Mate-Metaverse, which means a collection of virtual spaces, using technological means to interactively map the real world and the virtual world.

The inspiration for this article comes from this. The story still involves a reversal of the plot, as well as the presence of deep-dive elements, and the rest is a small and fresh taste of love and romance.
