Honkai, the behind-the-scenes simulator

[If Teresa dies in the experiment, you will be sad and regretful because of the ending of the beautiful things, but you will never feel regretful. 】

【Consciousness Activation Experiment was finally officially launched. After selection, a total of 300 people participated in the experiment, divided into three batches. 】

[The overall process of the experiment has four stages. 】

[In the first stage, inject L-type enkephalin into the subject to make its various body functions enter an active state, so as to adapt to the next experiment process. 】

[In the second stage, increase the injection amount of L-enkephalin, so that the content of L-enkephalin exceeds the normal body tolerance threshold, and at the same time increase the content of nerve bases. 】

[The third stage is to reversely transform the L-enkephalin in the form of pentapeptide into a high-energy factor produced by consciousness activities. 】

[The final stage is to reverse the high-energy factors produced by consciousness activities into fluctuations in the field of human consciousness, thereby stimulating consciousness to activate it. 】

[In the first stage, among the 100 first batch of subjects including Teresa, 6 subjects had negative reactions, their somatic cells were overactive and died in large numbers, and they announced their withdrawal from the experiment. 】

[In the second stage, among the remaining subjects, a total of 33 people died of somatic cell failure due to excessive L-type enkephalin stimulation, and the remaining 61 subjects successfully completed the experimental goals of the expected stage. 】

[The third stage is extremely short, with a total duration of 7.2 seconds. During the process of reverse conversion of high-energy factors, a total of twelve participants died of cell failure. In this stage, 49 people successfully completed the expected experimental goals. 】

[The fourth stage is the stimulation that directly acts on the consciousness field, and the consciousness fluctuation transformed by the reaction of high-energy factors forcibly interferes with the consciousness field and stimulates the activation of consciousness. 】

[During this process, 10 of the remaining experimental subjects had their human cells exhausted, and 37 of them had their consciousness dissolved and completely lost their ability to think. 】

[After the experiment ended, there were two survivors. 】

[They are Teresa, and a girl who lost her family in the Second Great Crash, and finally chose to participate in this experiment after receiving your invitation. 】

[You look at the training cabin with a slightly expectant look. 】

[To be precise, they are the two girls floating in the training cabin. 】

[Then, pressing the button started the wake-up procedure and opened the cultivation cabin. 】

【Almost the moment you pressed the wake-up program, the silver-haired girl floating in the green culture fluid suddenly opened her eyes. 】

【The azure eyes that were clear and reminiscent of a lake before now look extraordinarily bright, as if a burning flame is flickering in them. 】

【Without waiting for the door of the nutrition cabin to open, she swung her fist without hesitation, and slammed it heavily on the door of the training cabin, causing the door to fly upside down in an instant. 】

【She lowered her head and looked at her hands in amazement. 】

【Then, walk out of the training cabin. 】

【"Is this the consciousness activation technology you're researching..." Teresa twitched the corners of her mouth, and said softly, with emotion in her slightly hoarse voice. 】

【"It seems that my luck is quite good."】

[Among the first batch of fifty test subjects, only two survived in the end. 】

[It seems that the survival rate is extremely low, but in fact it is not, and it can even be said to be extremely lucky. 】

[You must know that the experiment conducted by Moth Chasing Fire to allow humans to use the power of Houkai has so far had a zero survival rate. 】

【You were already mentally prepared for the death of all [-] experimental subjects, and you even thought that this kind of result was actually normal. 】

[But I didn't expect that in the first experiment, two people could survive, and even judging from Teresa's appearance at this time, she has really achieved the initial activation of consciousness. 】

[If you can do this, the next thing to do will be much easier. 】

[You look at the second person among the survivors this time. 】

【It was a girl who looked a little weak. 】

[Black and bluish shoulder-length short hair, dark blue eyes, white skin, and a look of embarrassment in the eyes. 】

[At this time, she was secretly looking at Teresa who had just broken through the door, and then she clenched her fists carefully, as if she was wondering whether she should learn something. 】

【She tried to knock lightly on the hatch with her small fist, but quickly withdrew her hand, with a pained expression on her face, and waited obediently for the hatch to open. 】

【You look through the list of participants in the experiment, looking for her information. 】

【——After all, there is no scientist in this world who conducts human experiments, and he must remember the names of everyone who participated in the experiments, right? 】

[Even if there is such a person in this world, it won't be me. 】

[You found the girl's information. 】

【her name is......】

【Seele.】

[You can feel the extremely obvious specialness of Teresa after the experiment is completed. 】

[But this kind of specialness...you don't seem to feel it in the girl named Seele. 】

【in other words......】

[Although she did successfully complete the experiment and survived the experiment with a very low success rate, the results of the experiment did not appear on her body. 】

[What is the reason for this? 】

[You are slightly puzzled by this. 】

[Perhaps, the results of the experiment are different for different people, and it needs to be stimulated by individuals. 】

[It is difficult to find out the truth just by thinking out of thin air. You no longer struggle with this problem, and start data collection and improvement after the experiment. 】

[You spent three days analyzing and summarizing the data accumulated in this experiment, and started to improve the experimental process and specific control. 】

[Subsequently, experiments were started on the second batch of subjects. 】

[And this has been based on the previous experiment, the improved second experiment...]

[Among the 100 subjects, the number of survivors is... 1. 】

[There are fewer survivors than the first-time experiment survivors who were completely blind. 】

[You are not surprised by this. 】

[After all, in the previous experiment, it can be said that the element of luck accounted for the vast majority. 】

[In other words, the success rate of the second experiment can be called a normal level. 】

[Same as Teresa, the subjects who survived the second experiment also successfully activated their consciousness and became "transcendents". 】

【Seeing this situation, as a survivor of the first experiment, Miss Seele, who was not able to gain power as theoretically, couldn't help but feel disappointed. 】

【She has a reason to gain strength, a persistence that must be steadfast, and a hatred that should be wiped out by herself. 】

[However, she, who was lucky enough to survive the experiment, did not gain the power she dreamed of like other people. 】

【she......】

[Can't do anything. 】

【Although the girl will not be jealous and resentful towards others because of this, she still has unspeakable sourness in her heart. 】

[After summarizing the data of this second experiment and improving the experiment again, the third experiment is launched. 】

[In this experiment, there were three survivors. 】

[So far, a total of 290 people in three batches have been selected to participate in the experiment. The dead attacked 6 people, and the survivors were [-] people. 】

[These six people are named Teresa, Seele, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta. 】

[Among the six people, except for Seele, the other five people have shown obvious characteristics of consciousness activation, possessing power beyond ordinary people. 】

[This is the power from consciousness. 】

[Of course, due to personal hobbies, you still have your own name for this kind of power: "light". 】

[At present, these six people are willing to obey your orders. 】

[After all, it is you who give them power. 】

[Also, you won't stop what they really want to do. 】

[These six formed a combat team and trained together. 】

[Among them, Seele, who has not yet obtained extraordinary power, is in charge of the team's logistics. 】

[At this point, you can be regarded as possessing a powerful combat force that can really stand on the stage and is willing to obey your command. 】

[You explained your ideals to them. 】

[That is the world that creates human consciousness, the virtual world. 】

[Virtual Realm, if it can be successfully created, it can give every human being the power of a god. 】

[In your vision, the virtual world should be a high-dimensional world with all human beings as thinking nodes, starting with the power combination of consciousness, and then expanding infinitely. 】

[This also means that after the virtual world is established, everyone will have their own personal world. The direction of the world is completely determined by the individual, and all their past regrets can be made up for. 】

【Also, that is not a vain dreamland, but a truly created world, a real world like the imaginary number space, the quantum world, and the real world. 】

Chapter 12 Masquerade, Saints

[Virtual Realm, everyone has their own world and is the master of the world. 】

[The Gensokyo, which should have been nothing in this world, is "nowhere", a beautiful utopia that exists only in empty fantasy and can satisfy all dreams and make up for all regrets. 】

[In that world, they can get whatever they want, including those things they lost before. 】

【Relatives, friends, and all kinds of precious treasures that support their lives. 】

【The few people in front of you, except Teresa, lost everything in the collapse. 】

[And now, you tell them that they have the opportunity to get back those lost things. 】

[You tell these people whose lives have been completely destroyed by the collapse, and tell these people whose reason for living is only hatred for disasters, their lives can start again in the happiest form of their dreams. 】

[Unbelievable. 】

[These people find it hard to believe the plan you said, because this kind of plan sounds like a child's fantasy, and anyone who hears such words will regard it as a fantasy. 】

【It's more because people who are completely desperate themselves don't dare to believe this too beautiful fairy tale, because hope is sometimes poison, like the fire that is polished in the hands of a little match seller. 】

[If you easily choose to believe in hope, then when this hope is finally shattered, you will inevitably suffer more pain. 】

[However, at this time, the "light" that flows with the activities of consciousness is telling them that your words are not empty words. 】

[They believe in you and decide to be loyal to you. 】

[Or... to be loyal to the ideal you proposed. 】

[Under the common goal, the organization created by you really appears in this world. 】

【Your purpose is to create a world where everyone can obtain absolute freedom. This is the common pursuit of all members of the organization. 】

[On that stage called the world, everyone is qualified to dance freely. 】

[Even now, all the members aim to act according to their heart, but all of you are pursuing the utopia that sounds beautiful and dreamy, that's all. 】

[You are free and not subject to any constraints. 】

[Just like a dance party with a mask, you can put aside any identity and restraint, sing and dance as much as you want. 】

[The name of your organization is...]

【……"Masquerade". 】

[As the founder and absolute core of the organization, and also a helping hand to save them from the numb years that they fell into because their lives were destroyed by the Houkai, you are jointly respected by them as the leader. 】

【They believe in you, and at the same time rely on the direction you guide them. 】

[As the initial members of the masquerade party, you have reached a consensus on some issues. 】

[The members who have survived the experiment, obtained enlightenment, and successfully completed the activation of consciousness are called "saints", or "disciples" for short. 】

[They will obey your orders as long as they do not go against their wishes. 】

【——For you, this is enough.After all, what you want to create is a world where anyone can do what they want. 】

[If the goal is to create a world where anyone can be free, and at the same time force others to act according to their own ideas, it sounds a bit hypocritical. 】

【You will not sacrifice your current style for the sake of the future. 】

[At present, what you need to do is to prevent your own side from being dragged into the quagmire of war, and thus affect the The creation of "Virtual Realm". 】

[In other words, even the wishes of the moths, or more importantly, the wishes of the entire human society, cannot compel you to move the most urgent and fundamental goals out of the creation of "virtual realms" Transformed into "fight against collapse and protect human beings". 】

[This does not mean that you or other members of the Masquerade Party will turn a blind eye to the Honkai and let the Honkai wreak havoc. 】
