Chapter 366: Inhuman (174) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]

"Don't talk nonsense," Qiao Bie's voice sounded very impatient, "Are you going or not?"

"Go, of course." Yun Guang nodded, "But we can still discuss who will enter."

Qiao Bie did not give any direct answer to Bai Jinshu's guess, but the answer was already in their hearts.

Yun Guang and his guess from the beginning was that once the live broadcast was interrupted, the pseudo-people would rush to stab the investment bank. In addition to the fact that the live broadcast was extremely important to them, there was a high possibility that some crisis also existed in the pseudo-human space.

As soon as Qiao Bie said that humans would die if they entered it, he immediately thought that if pseudo-humans entered it, they would probably get into trouble as well.

It’s just that the damage to pseudo-humans is much lighter than that to humans, otherwise it cannot explain why they are so eager to obtain the identities of new people and leave the pseudo-human space.

"People who entered?" Qiao Bie frowned, "If you don't want to live, you can go."

"That's not the case," Yun Guang smiled good-naturedly, "I just want to confirm that there is no damage to inanimate objects in that space, right?"

Bai Jinshu suddenly realized that he should be talking about the shadow puppet Xiao Tang.

"...No," Qiao Bie paused, "What do you want to do?"

His face looked very grim now. He couldn't tell whether it was because Bai Jinshu and the others brought Hang Yiqing and Lao Guan, or because his original plan to use them as cannon fodder was discovered.

"If only humans are not allowed in, there are still many of us who can enter," Yun Guang didn't care about his bad tone, "After all, some things are better seen with one's own eyes... Bingqi?"

"I have no objection," Bai Jinshu nodded, "There should be some non-humans among our people."

After all, the identity-concealing miracle provided by the Foundation essentially just changes everyone's appearance, and incidentally prevents the investment bank from detecting any problems, but the essence will not change.

That is to say, even if he has put on a robot's vest, he is essentially still a human made of flesh and blood, a carbon-based creature, and it is impossible for him to become a silicon-based creature.

Similarly, if the foundation employees who enter here are other creatures, they cannot become ordinary people just by putting on an ordinary person's vest.

"Yes," Yun Guang nodded, "quite a few."

"If you're worried that living things will die, there are also non-living things." He thought for a moment and added.

It’s not that the two of them didn’t believe in the Qin army, but if they themselves could not directly enter this space, then the information they obtained would only be second-hand information.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Even if the Qin army reports back with every detail, they may overlook some important details for various reasons. At this time, the special space team members in the foundation who are used to collecting information and analyzing rules are far more reliable than the Qin army.

It has come to this point, and the identity of the investment bank leader that they lied about at the beginning has probably been completely torn apart by Qiao Bie, and there is no need to cover it up or patch it up.

After confirming with Qiao Bie when to trigger the attack, the two of them headed towards where the foundation members were gathering.

"As far as I know, there are about three or four non-humans in our group," Yun Guang thought for a moment and said, "If it's convenient, we can let them go in with a live broadcast, and we can watch it in real time here."

Although live streaming also has issues like angles, it’s still much better than staying here and knowing nothing.

The foundation hacked into the investment bank's live broadcast system. It was easy to convert several live broadcast rooms from public to private, and it was not difficult to link them to their electronic equipment.

Time was urgent, and Bai Jinshu had no time to ask Yun Guang how he got in touch with the foundation. He just nodded, confirmed the division of labor with Yun Guang, and walked towards Xiaoshang.

Yun Guang was responsible for contacting the foundation, and then selecting non-humans who were not afraid of the pseudo-human space from the foundation employees, and determining their respective division of labor and filming content with them.

He went to Xiao Shang to ask him about the situation of the Qin army, and then selected some soldiers who were suitable to enter the pseudo-human space.

After all, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people in Xiaoshang, and they can't all go in in a mighty manner. Even if so many people are really needed to solve the problem of the pseudo-human space, they can go in batches.

"Xiao Shang," Bai Jinshu waved at Xiao Shang and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what's your last name? I can't keep calling you Xiao Shang."

They used to call him Xiao Shang because they thought he was the person behind the weird Business All-Round Challenge. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, it would be better to call him by his real name.

"Just... just the surname Shang? My name is Shang Yu," Xiao Shang blinked a few times, "Dad, do you want me to have your surname? Cen Yu?"

Bai Jinshu: ...

"No," he took a deep breath, "I called you here to ask, do you have a good understanding of the Qin army? Can I select about five or six thousand from it?"

This number of people was agreed upon by them and Qiao Bie, and was mainly decided by Qiao Bie personally. He said that according to his experience, some of the pseudo-people in the pseudo-human space should have left, and some stayed. These people who stayed most likely had no intention of replacing the newcomers, so the more people who followed them in, the better.

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything." Xiao Shang scratched his head. "Why don't you just ask the adjutant brother?"

He really does call everyone brother. If we calculate based on time, the adjutant has lived for thousands of years, so he would be a generation older than his ancestors.

Since Xiao Shang didn't know about these things, Bai Jinshu nodded, turned around and went to find the adjutant.

He couldn't participate in the subsequent call for people, and he had no intention of participating.

Yun Guang counted the number of people who were going to enter, and lowered his voice to tell Bai Jin: "Hang Yiqing and Lao Guan are going in."

Bai Jin said: "Not surprising."

After all, these two people couldn't be here to see Qiao Bie. Of course, they came with Yun Guang to enter the pseudo-human space.

"Well, do you know how I convinced them?" Yun Guang touched the tip of his nose a little embarrassedly.

"How did you convince him?" Bai Jinshu was a little curious.

"I say... the Qiao Bie you saw when you entered the nightmare before was very regretful of what he had done, and he had deep feelings for the people in Purple Street," Yun Guang whispered, "Don't you want to see if there is anything wrong with this fake Qiao Bie?"

The reason why Hang Yiqing and Lao Guan tried to subvert the space into a pseudo-human one was because of the replaced child. Now, in order to completely destroy the pseudo-human space and let them live in harmony with the fake Qiao Bie, it is naturally impossible.

But Yun Guang’s approach was too tricky.

"The two of them left the City of Violence because they found out that the dead members would become members of the City Guard," Bai Jinshu glanced in the direction of the two men, thoughtfully, "So logically, the child should also become a member of the City Guard after being killed by the fake, but the problem is that if the child became a member of the City Guard, these two people couldn't take him away or stay with him, so this situation shows that the two of them never saw the child in the City Guard at all. Are you betting that they think the child is not dead?"

It is human nature to hope for a miracle before seeing the final result, especially for parents. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many families who spend decades searching for their children after they get lost.

Although what Yun Guang said was not very authentic, it was not impossible.

"I actually think it's a bit abnormal," Bai Jinshu looked at the busy foundation employees, frowned and whispered, "I haven't seen other fake people, but the fact that you can convince these two in Qiao Bie's situation means that something is wrong."

Even if a normal pseudo-person has replaced someone else's identity, he or she will not regret the death of a friend with whom he or she had never lived in the middle of the night, right?

However, there are other possibilities in the child's situation. After all, the child's live broadcast is different from that of other investment bank employees. Bai Jinshu conservatively estimates that his live broadcast lasted for at least eighteen years before being replaced by a fake person. If someone has been watching his life uninterruptedly during these eighteen years, it would not be surprising if someone mistook himself for him.

This can only be left to the two people who know him best to judge.

"But are you safe in letting these two people go with Qiao Bie into the pseudo-human space?" Bai Jinshu twitched his mouth.

He was really worried that Hang Yiqing would get angry and beat Qiao Bie to death. After all, no one could bear it. He thought that Hang Yiqing was really tolerant because he could maintain the status quo for so many years.

"I can't stop him," Yun Guang spread his hands, "Besides, it won't be me who will be there anyway."

That's true.

It is always better to pass the buck at the right time than to worry about every little thing. If Hang Yiqing is so angry that he wants to take action, let the colleagues who have entered the foundation stop him, at least don't kill Qiao before he becomes useful.

While the two were talking here, the people on both sides were all ready to go. In addition to Xiao Tang, there were five other people in the foundation. These five people were all sure that any toxins or other things targeting living things would not have any effect on them.

As for the Qin army, the adjutant personally led five to six thousand elite soldiers. Bai Jinshu was not very good at seeing the difference between ordinary soldiers and elite soldiers, but the equipment of this group of people looked better than that of ordinary soldiers.

Yun Guang contacted the foundation and opened a separate live broadcast channel for the six foundation team members who entered, and connected it to Qiao Bie's electronic products. Due to the special nature of the investment bank's barrage and live broadcast room, they can also communicate with them through the barrage. Although they can't get in, they won't miss too much information.

Time waits for no one. When Qiao Bie learned that Hang Yiqing and Lao Guan were leaving, he looked uneasy. But no one knew whether he was anxious to eliminate the trouble of the pseudo-human space forever, or wanted to solve this problem and get away from these two people as soon as possible. After everyone arrived, he was unusually active and hurriedly took everyone away as if someone was chasing him.

The sky outside the window was pitch black. It was around ten o'clock in the evening. There was no moon and no street lights in the city of violence. The windows of every household were sealed with steel plates, and it was pitch black when you went out.

"Don't say anything, Qiao," Guan Hongyan found a bench and sat next to the sofa, stretching, "The road to the pseudo-human space is in the fog. Now only the subway still has fog, so everyone has to follow him to take the subway."

"Lao Guan and Hang Yiqing have assumed the identities of two colleagues, otherwise the strange story cannot be included in the category of subway strange story," Xu Zichen also interjected with his chin propped up, "To be honest, I'm looking forward to these two people beating up Qiao Bie."

The two of them kept silent, each holding a plate of melon seeds and cracking them vigorously. Xu Zichen even had the leisure to comment: "This is not as delicious as the one in the Foundation Mall. I miss the Foundation."

"... Zichen," Yun Guang held his forehead with his hand, "the ones in the mall are not melon seeds, they are Plants vs. Zombies sunflower seeds."

"But last time She Mochu brought back a pound of cream flavor and a pound of green tea flavor from the market." Guan Hongyan said innocently.

Bai Jinshu's eyes moved.

He had indeed done this.

Yun Guang: "...Okay, we'll be able to go back soon."

Although there is still such a large pseudo-human space that has not been blown up in time, the atmosphere in the living room is now relaxed. After all, the follow-up has little to do with them.

After all, humans can't get in, so even if they want to do something, they can't do it.

The team on the screen was still preparing to enter the subway station, but in the living room many members of the foundation team had already started eating fruit, playing cards, or chatting.

The highlight is yet to come. So many things have happened today, so now we should just relax.

"Oh, right," Xu Zichen suddenly remembered while eating sunflower seeds, "Can we trust that Xiao Tang? It seems that she didn't say which organization she belonged to."

"Ah," Yun Guang exclaimed, "Isn't Xiao Tang Xiaoying?"

Xu Zichen:?

"Ah?" He didn't even have the mood to crack melon seeds. "Xiaoying? Zhaoying is here?"

"Yes," Yun Guang tilted his head in surprise, "You don't know?"

Xu Zichen: ???

"How would I know?" He was shocked. "I don't know her well."

He is not familiar with either Xiaoying or Xiaotang.

"Actually," Bai Jinshu said silently, "I don't know either."

When Yun Guang said this just now, not only Xu Zichen was shocked, he was also shocked, okay...

"How did you recognize him?" He looked at Yun Guang silently.

"Xiaoying?" Yun Guang thought for a moment. "Although being able to control shadow puppets is a little unimaginable, but before in the world of [Romantic Contagion], as the Gu King, she was able to contact many Long Aotian who had ascended to the heavens and myriad worlds. It was quite subtle, wasn't it? And at that time, she said that she pretended to be the younger brother of these Long Aotian. After we met up later, she also said that she could control many shadow puppets in multiple threads, and there was no distance limit..."

"I thought you kept calling her Xiao Tang because she didn't want to expose her identity as the Gu King in the investment bank's novice village, so she didn't tell you..." Yun Guang added silently, "So you didn't know?"

"Stop talking," Guan Hongyan hugged her head in silence, "She heard us calling each other by our real names, and she didn't even say anything?"

"Maybe he's embarrassed..." Yun Guang said silently, "After all, Xiaoying has used the puppet Xiao Tang to act with Bingqi for so long. It's awkward to reveal that we are all acquaintances from the same organization after taking off our masks."

Guan Hongyan was desperate: "I even went to the same space with her to explore, and I didn't feel anything was wrong at that time..."

“It may be very discouraging to say this, but Hongyan,” Yun Guang said gently, “the person who entered the space with you last time was most likely Xiaoying’s shadow puppet.”

If entering the Novice Village this time did not require a strong desire to survive after death, she might have sent shadow puppets instead of actually taking part in the battle.

After all, looking at the yellow-haired original body who is still in the no-man's land, it can be seen how much this girl cherishes her life.

Moreover, it was expected that Zhao Yinglai would not tell them about the shadow puppetry. After all, although [0106] blew up the Gu farm, she, as the Gu King, was not very familiar with everyone in the organization. It was normal for her not to easily reveal the details when she didn't know much about her companions.

If she showed her specialness right from the start, everyone would start to suspect that she was the one who killed the book bearer in the Gu field and then secretly joined forces with other Long Aotian to increase her own bargaining chips in the world.

But it can be seen from this that…

"Maybe Xiao Tang is Zhao Yinglai's true nature..." Guan Hongyan complained weakly.

The so-called Mary Sue and Long Aotian do not exist at all. Xiao Tang is naughty, has a bad mouth, and likes to solve problems with force. He has nothing to do with their previous impression of Zhao Yinglai. It seems that the last time this girl and she entered the unknown space, it was all acting.

Just as a few people were chatting casually, the picture on the screen finally changed. The white mist gradually faded and turned into a pink smoke.

Or maybe it wasn't smoke, but the picture on the screen was too blurry and suddenly turned pink.

"Hey, they're going in, they're going in." Those who were playing cards, chatting and eating fruit at the back suddenly perked up.

"What is this place?" Guan Hongyan's attention was diverted all of a sudden. "Pseudo-human space?"

Why is this place all pink?

As if they knew their inner doubts, the team members acting as cameras raised the camera position a little higher so that everyone who stayed in the Novice Village could see it.

Everything in this space is pink because the sunlight here is pink.

"This place seems to be no different from the City of Violence," a team member on the screen took the initiative to speak up, "After we came out of the fog, we found that although this place is pink everywhere, the surrounding buildings are exactly the same as those in the City of Violence."

This exact similarity does not mean that there is a human settlement and residents living in it, but that the buildings and the city of violence here are exactly the same.

Exactly the same in a physical sense.

Six screens were filming the surroundings. Many of the Foundation members had been to the City of Violence before and had good memories. They recognized it at a glance: "This place is a 100% one-to-one replica of the City of Violence!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started talking.

"Exactly the same, are you sure?"

"Sure, this is exactly the same as the area around the subway in the City of Violence. Look at that billboard, that building, that convenience store..." The man listed them one by one.

As he listed, Bai Jinshu and Guan Hongyan, who had been to the subway station area of ​​the City of Violence, also nodded: "It's really the same."

Just by looking at the buildings, they would believe that this was the capital of violence in the Novice Village.

The reason why I said to just look at the buildings is naturally because although this group of buildings is exactly the same as the City of Violence in the Novice Village, this place is not popular at all.

In simple terms, it is frighteningly desolate.

Although they were in the center of the city, there was not a single living person around them except for them. Everywhere they looked there were signs of human life, but no one was there.

"That strange space!" Guan Hongyan suddenly pulled Bai Jinshu, "Do you think it looks like that?"

"...It's a bit similar." Bai Jinshu narrowed his eyes slightly.

This place felt very similar to the strange space they had entered at the beginning. There was no one as far as the eye could see, but traces of human life were everywhere, as if there had been people living here in the last second and suddenly disappeared in the next second.

"This pseudo-human space is just a place where pseudo-humans replace the identities of newcomers...but why do we have to learn the architecture within the space as well?" Xu Zichen muttered.

His mutterings at this moment reflected the feelings of most people. Seeing that the pseudo-human space was filled with the same buildings as humans, everyone felt a little uneasy for some reason.

I never thought that one day the term "uncanny valley effect" could also be used to describe the environment.

Now everyone feels that this place looks like it is inhabited by humans, but there is no one there, and it has a strange pink color, which makes people feel creepy.

On the other side of the screen, Xiao Tang, who was broadcasting live, said, "Don't mention it, Qiao. There are not many people living in the city in the pseudo-human space. This place is exactly the same as the Novice Village because of the characteristics of the space, which is an imitation of the mirror space."

In other words, the pseudo-human space is a mirror space of the novice village.

As to whether this mirror image was formed naturally, it is definitely not. It is most likely the result of forced stitching by the investment bank.

The large group walked towards the outskirts of the city. As they walked, the six people who were broadcasting live answered questions from their colleagues on the barrage about what they had seen and heard here.

"We haven't seen anyone since we came in. Joe said that the pseudo-humans are exactly the opposite of the humans in the Novice Village. They all live in the empty space left after the pseudo-human space mirrored the Novice Village."

"The pseudo-people don't seem to reproduce normally like mammals. I think what Qiao Bei meant was that they came out of the fruits on the trees." This team member had probably been to a similar unknown space before, and he even muttered to himself, "Isn't this similar to elves? Coming out of the fruits on the trees?"

"If that's the case, then I understand why this place is a one-way valve," Yun Guang pinched his chin, "If the fake people are fruits from books, then we can just cut down all the trees."

It was too easy to destroy the pseudo-human space. If it weren't for a one-way valve, they would have been taken back home and destroyed long ago.

"Elves are at least a pure species," Guan Hongyan complained as she opened a can of Coca-Cola, "these fake people are not doing human things."

Killing innocent newcomers and replacing them, is this something a human would do?

[Xiao Tang patted Hang Yiqing and Lao Guan in the back.] Bai Jinshu ignored everyone's conversation and posted a comment.

"Let me take a picture for you," Xiao Tang moved the camera. "These two are in the back. Just now, Qiao Bie tried to talk to them, but Hang Yiqing ignored him. Lao Guan seemed to want to talk back, but Hang Yiqing pulled him, so he didn't dare to say anything. Now he is trying to ignore Qiao Bie with every pore of his body."

It seems that they have no inclination to take action.

Bai Jinshu rubbed his temples with a headache and said, "If Hang Yiqing starts to fight later, persuade him to stop it."

Although he thought Qiao Bie was special, he really didn't hold out hope that the Purple Street kid was still alive.

Xiao Tang turned the camera and showed his horrified face: "Are you going to kill me, brother?"

Let her go and persuade Hang Yiqing?

Bai Jinshu: […Forget it. ]

It depends on Joe's luck.

Anyway, the space of the pseudo-people is so easy to destroy, so it doesn’t matter whether he lives or dies.

The team walked out of the city on foot. Along the way, the six team members walked and chatted with everyone in the Novice Village, so it wasn't too boring.

When they reached the end of the city, Xiao Tang, who was in front, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" The crowd suddenly became nervous again.

"That's not right..." Xiao Tang's strange voice came, "We have a problem here, wait a minute, it's not a safety issue."

"Qiao Bie? What's going on?"

As Xiao Tang said this, everyone in the living room raised their heads.

Qiao Bie's surprised voice sounded a step behind Xiao Tang: "How could it be...

"Where are the fake people born?"

Following these words, the camera finally turned.

On the outskirts of the City of Violence, there is an empty lot in the Novice Village, which Qiao Bie said was a forest where pseudo-people were born. Now it has all been turned into factory-like buildings.

The buildings stretch as far as the eye can see, stretching towards the boundless distance...

The author has something to say:

Although I have set too many flags, Hantang still wants to say that this week, Inhumanity will be finished! It can really be finished!! There is not much outline to go on here!!! Believe in Hantang!!!
