Chapter 154 Deceptive Imitation

Luo Huayi felt as if every bone in her body was nailed to the ground.

Unable to move.

He couldn't even tell whether his eyes were open or closed; no matter how he moved his eyes, there was only darkness all around him.

Darkness so profound that you can't see your hand in front of your face.

who is he?

And why is it here?

Just thinking about these two questions makes my brain feel like it's being pricked with needles.

His body's instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm told him to stop thinking immediately.

From the darkness in the distance came a muffled, electrically amplified voice, "01 is really into character, his consciousness is still resisting... Does he really think the prisoner is his leading lady?"

Barely able to make out the content of the voice, Luo Huayi's confusion deepened.

What was that voice saying?

He needs to hand over something?

My mind was in a daze, and then the sharp pain started again.

My subconscious tells me I can't give in.

But he couldn't break free at all. The oppression and restraint on his body were like a mountain, pinning him firmly in the darkness and giving him no chance to move or turn over.

[Keywords: Xin Que (辛鹊)]

Luo Huayi's fingertips trembled as they were crushed by the darkness.

Xin Que?

Xin Que is...

The image of the woman covered in bloody holes in the thorn forest once again vividly appeared before his eyes.

It was as if he was about to return to the nightmare in the back garden.

My brain felt like it was being torn apart and churned by an invisible hand, and the pain became increasingly sharp.

As her unfocused pupils gradually focused, Luo Huayi finally understood her current predicament.

Those people wanted to find clues about her from their own memories.

The metallic taste of blood rising in his throat grew stronger, and Luo Huayi gripped the ground tightly, trying to get himself up again.

He was no match for these people.

We need to find a way...

Luo Huayi struggled against the force tearing at his brain, feeling as if his limbs and bones were being crushed. In just a moment, he could no longer hold on and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, his vision turning blood red.

Beneath the chaos, Luo Huayi's consciousness grew increasingly heavy.

What other options does he have?

No matter what, he was always a fish to be slaughtered.

He seems to overestimate himself.

He used to think he was the protagonist of a world where suffering eventually pays off, but it turns out he was just a sanctioning machine controlled by the will of Heaven.

Before Xin Que appeared, Luo Huayi always thought that after shedding the shadow of the Luo family, her life would definitely be smooth sailing and a happy ending.

It wasn't until Xin Que appeared, and until he was pulled into the so-called plot space, that he suddenly realized he was just an ant being dominated, controlled, and crushed by the Heavenly Dao.

He really overestimated himself.

Xin Que's effortless way of pulling him out of those predicaments time and time again left him dazed and gave him a kind of illusion.

She could save him from danger once or twice, and so could he.

He could certainly protect that figure from being discovered by these people.

But Luo Huayi suddenly woke up as she was being dragged into darkness.

He couldn't even resist.

He was merely a machine manipulated by others in the eyes of Heaven.

Luo Huayi bit his tongue hard to stay awake. In a daze, he recalled the woman from his distant memories and the words she had written on his palm.

Luo Huayi's stiff eyes slowly moved.

It's not that he can't do everything.

Machines will only obey user-inputted commands, and only commands.

Events can be faked, and so can memories.

Since they want his memories so badly... then give them to them.

【Search complete.】

The prison guard and the engineer looked at the floating screen together. "The memory from the 01 perspective seems to be working fine."

"It's pretty much in line with the pre-set plot."

"Bring all the engineers over," the warden said, staring at the images on the floating screen. "Check them frame by frame."

The engineer immediately used a communicator to call for help.

...

They are cautious and won't be so easily fooled by a false memory.

Luo Huayi had a splitting headache and tried hard to activate his thoughts, which had been forced to slow down considerably.

We must be more genuine.

Make it even more real.

How can this false lie be made to fool the whole world?

Luo Huayi's will grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, his unfocused pupils focused their gaze completely.

Unless, of course, it happened in the real world.

The man swallowed by darkness had a faint, familiar glow of data appear deep within his pupils, which quickly faded away.

So faint, so insignificant, that it wouldn't even catch the eye of those in power.

But silently, countless data gathered into a space, just like the thorns that sprouted from the old house that day. It rose from the ground with his will, and then quickly built the foundation and laid the bricks and tiles according to his plan. Under the watchful eyes of the engineer staring at the floating screen, and in the data stream of the management system that was rapidly calculating, a 1:1 memory space was replicated according to that memory.

The data flow raced against time, constantly refining and improving, all in an effort to make this colossal lie as realistic and plausible as possible before the management system could.

Finally, when Xin Que's face appeared on the floating screen, everything was settled.

“01’s memories are reliable,” the engineer concluded, “but his last memory ends on the sixth floor, which I suspect is related to Biancheng King’s indiscriminate attacks after he lost control.”

"Based on the information transmitted back by the prisoner codenamed 'Xin Xin,' and combined with the results of our frequent scans of the data space..."

"The overall environmental risk level is assessed as being below medium, so Minister Qu can lead his team to conduct a search and arrest operation."

...

Xin Que drove to the vicinity of the abandoned factory.

She stood in the tree, hidden among the dense foliage, looking up at the boundary of the story's space.

For safety reasons, Xin Que deliberately kept a distance from the boundary line.

The scene inside the space was extremely chaotic.

Various plot fragments flash back within the boundary line, like a revolving lantern.

"What happened?" Xin Que asked, somewhat shocked.

This scene is exactly the same as the chaotic scene that occurred in the space that Luo Jingchen built before he went berserk.

But it doesn't seem like the work of a prison.

The plot segments became increasingly dense, almost filling the abandoned factory.

Could it be a work by Luo Huayi?

He can now use the capabilities he backed up from Luo Jingchen.

But things seem to be getting out of control.

As more and more plot fragments flash back within the space, the boundaries begin to blur.

On the highway not far away, the streetlights began to flicker on and off in a neat, orderly fashion, as if a short circuit had occurred.

Xin Que glanced at her phone, whose signal was also blocked.

Communication with Cheng Zheng was also affected.

The sounds of screeching brakes and angry shouts on the highway became more and more frequent.

Without further hesitation, she jumped down from the tree and drove straight to the abandoned factory.

The commotion is having an increasingly wide impact, and if no action is taken soon, the prison will notice Luo Huayi's unusual behavior.

"Bang!!!"

Seizing the opportunity when the boundary line dimmed once again, Xin Que floored the accelerator. A loud crash was heard as the car slammed straight into the wall of the factory building.

The addition of plot elements in the factory was momentarily halted due to the forced intervention of external forces.

After jumping out of the car, Xin Que rolled around in the grass a few times before quickly getting up.

The prison hasn't reacted yet.

Is it because of these plot segments?

Xin Que didn't have time to think any further; she got up and ran away.

The man wandered aimlessly through the changing storylines.

He is... which Luo Huayi was he again?
