[Exclusive from Jinjiang] The intelligent world is fascinating

[What's going on? ? ]

[The props team did a really good job... It looks exactly like the ghost bride drawn by Mrs. Ceroro]

[Yes, yes, I didn’t believe the rumor that the anchor knew Cerolo before, but now she has such a realistic makeup look, she must have received personal guidance from her, right?!]

ZT-1689502 dutifully and responsibly fed back the bullet screens in the live broadcast room to the three people's head-mounted live broadcast displays, but as things stand, no one cares about the bullet screens sliding across the display.

Good news, very restored.

Bad news, this is not a cosplayer they hired! Nor is this a makeup they created!

In an instant, Eco took off the yellow talisman paper that was stuck on his forehead as a joke, and then he raised his hand and stuck the talisman paper hard on the hood of the "Ghost Bride"!

Because of the uncontrollable fear, the power of the talisman under his manipulation was so great that it even made the inhuman creature in his eyes raise its head back.

The boy quickly stepped back a few steps, staring vigilantly at the ghost bride who seemed to be frozen in her movements, and waited with bated breath.

"…Eco,"

The two roommates behind him were so cautious that they almost whispered when talking to him.

Wan Qunli pinched his throat and tried his best to imitate a whisper: "Run quickly...it will be too late if you don't run now..."

It seemed as if the air had frozen at that moment. Underfoot, the dehydrated bamboo leaves rustled as they were stepped on, as if something unimaginable was lurking right under everyone's noses.

After a long time, someone finally spoke.

Xia Yi: "I called the police."

Wan Qunli who was standing next to him:?

Even the bullet screen: [? ]

[Is it necessary to restore it like this? ? Did I really call the police? Wouldn’t it be considered a false alarm?]

[It's obviously fake. They had already arranged it. How could such a large array be needed for a game livestream imitating a novel?]

There were many different opinions on the bullet screen.

Wan Qunli: "…Are you serious, squad leader?"

Although the scene before him was extremely bizarre, Wan Qunli did not want to be labeled as someone who made a false alarm.

Maybe this was a prank by their fans?

Maybe there are several auxiliary mechanical balls floating in the invisible places around, broadcasting live again?

The boy's expression was very serious, and his pair of bright black eyes stared at the bride in red in front of him without blinking.

"I can't get out." He suddenly said something that didn't make sense. "There's no problem with the Star Network, but I can't get out."

Can’t back out?

Wan Qunli blinked and thought for a few seconds before he finally reacted and his face changed drastically.

On the other side, Xia Yi watched as the crooked "talisman paper" he had drawn before was now pasted on the veil of the bride in red.

The opponent now seemed to be really suppressed by the talisman and could not move.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and then an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

Surprise, joy, fear, terror, hope...

In short, when these emotions flooded into his brain, Xia Yi almost went blind.

When he finally came to his senses and took a quick breath, he heard what Eco said behind him.

Unable to retreat... Is that what he understood? !

Eco's brain worked faster than Wan Qunli's, and he understood what the other person said instantly.

——In the year 3333, in today's high-tech era, most humans have long been tired of the constraints brought by the flesh.

Here, spirit has become the supreme thing, and spiritual entertainment has become the goal pursued by the public and the trend of the times.

"Forget about physical worries for a while and pursue the ultimate spiritual entertainment"

This is the purpose of most companies in this era. Among them, there is such an international and world-famous company that first sounded the clarion call for the trend of spiritual entertainment.

Flockbird calls for "freedom like a bird" and encourages people to buy its products, upload their brain consciousness to the Flockbird server, and realize unrestrained mental roaming.

On the day the product was launched, the number of people online on Qunbird servers reached 24% of the world's population. As the servers were improved and developed, a few years later, the number of people online every day has increased from the initial 24% to nearly 79%.

This is not a small number.

In addition to children under the age of ten, even elderly people who have reached retirement age are addicted to it.

QunBird also changed from an initial three-hour daily limit to an unlimited open server period.

Eco didn't know much about other countries' plans and regulations, but at least the Chinese government strongly prohibited citizens from accessing the server without time limit.

Therefore, in China, the restrictions on QunBird servers are more than those in foreign countries.

For example, the maximum online time per day is twelve hours, citizens under the age of sixteen are prohibited from registering Quniao server accounts, and are prohibited from uploading their brain consciousness to the Star Network.

After this long list of rules was announced, many people complained openly or secretly, but because the state agencies strictly prohibited it, they did not back down, and the final result was still as stipulated on the surface.

The biggest difference between domestic QunBird servers and those abroad is probably that the consciousness of people who are free-roaming in the star network will be forcibly disconnected after the eight-hour limit is reached.

The reason I say this is because...

Xia Yi, Wan Qunli and Ai Ke who were present were not real people.

No, I'm not insulting anyone.

But their bodies are not real living people, but bionic organisms.

Of all the parts of the body, only the brain consciousness belongs to a real human being.

Their bodies are now resting at home.

If I have to make a metaphor, it would be that the three roommates today are playing a very novel reality game, similar to "Second Life".

They uploaded their brain consciousness and synchronized it with the spare bionic bodies purchased by various companies, which was equivalent to replacing a shell.

This type of bionic body is like a mobile phone simulator on a computer. It has all the reactions of a living person, but the difference is that the brain consciousness can disconnect from the bionic body at any time.

Bionics were created earlier than the Flock of Birds server, and were initially used for the simplest human body simulation experiments.

But everything changed when the Flock of Birds server was created and some people tried to connect uploaded brain consciousness to bionic bodies.

The combination of brain consciousness and bionic body seems to have achieved "immortality" in the traditional sense.

Many people realize that as long as the brain consciousness is preserved, replacing the body with a younger and freer bionic body can achieve the immortality that the ancients pursued. This alone, from a theoretical point of view, can drive many people crazy.

At the very beginning, scientists put bionic bodies with human brain consciousness into more dangerous scientific experiments.

After "more precise experimental data were indeed obtained," people began to become dissatisfied.

From investing brain consciousness more precisely, to completely uploading consciousness to the star network, and then transmitting it to a younger and more energetic bionic body.

Humans have found a way to achieve immortality.

eternal life!

People all over the world were excited by the news released by FlockBird, and more and more people began to buy and use it.

Even if some countries have strict prohibitions, they cannot resist the temptation of eternal life.

Where there is demand, there is supply, and there will always be businessmen willing to take risks and make a profit.

On paper, the coverage rate is 79%, but in reality, in this day and age, how many people have not uploaded their brain consciousness to the Starnet?

This trend was criticized by many people at first, but it eventually died down.

The craze didn't show its flaws until decades later.

And this defect is so huge that it is hard for humans to imagine.

People who have uploaded their brain consciousness have lost the ability to feel emotions. They have become more indifferent, without empathy, and unable to understand social activities and so-called "emotions" between humans.

In today's pursuit of extreme spiritual entertainment, they have almost completely lost the ability to perceive spiritual entertainment.

From heaven to hell, in this moment.

——How is that possible?

——How could this happen?

——How is it possible? !

Even though their spirits are still freely roaming the star network, for those who can no longer feel "happy", even their anger becomes powerless.

Unless, there is more excitement.

"Stimulate" the spirit, get "emotions", and enjoy "happiness".

This is the fundamental reason why live entertainment streaming is so popular in 3333.

The brain consciousness is uploaded to the bionic body, which then broadcasts dangerous events live, thereby stimulating the audience's senses and generating "emotions" that fascinate people of this era.

Whether it is fear, fear, or happiness, as long as it is "emotion", there will always be customers paying for it.

However, due to strict control in China, domestic live broadcast rooms can only broadcast for eight hours at most, which is not as good as the 24-hour live broadcast abroad.

Many people choose to secretly climb over the wall and watch on the Internet.

It's a vicious cycle.

Craving for "excessive spiritual satisfaction", climbing over the wall to satisfy the need, becoming mentally exhausted, becoming even more numb, and then continuing to crave even more excessive spiritual satisfaction.

Obviously, if people only abide by the requirements of the law, their mental decline will not be so rapid.

But greed, haha, who can say good things about this kind of thing?

Xia Yi's brain consciousness tried desperately to leave this bionic body, but the consciousness had no feedback at this moment, as if it had taken root and could only control this body.

He felt "fear".

The most intuitive manifestation is that the bionic body leaves a sweat-like liquid on its forehead based on the feedback of his consciousness.

He walked slowly back.

The dry bamboo leaves cause even the smallest movement to produce a loud noise.

They were joking at first that the first-person perspective would be more immersive, but now...

The fear is almost out of control.

Fortunately, Chinese law stipulates an eight-hour online time limit, and users are forced to go offline when the time is up.

This was the first time that the three law-abiding people were so grateful for the country's foresight.

However, there are still three hours before the forced offline.

How to delay until three hours?

None of the three had an answer.

Xia Yi continued to retreat slowly.

The scene became very quiet, and even the barrage that kept refreshing the screen had to admit that this time, the atmosphere created by the anchor was good.

No one realized how much danger they were in.

Or maybe no one believes it, or maybe... they're happy to see it happen.

In short, when the three of them were slowly staring at the ghost bride in front of them who was suspected to be suppressed by the yellow talisman paper, none of the college students present realized that something was ready to break out from under the dry bamboo leaves.

But ZT-1689502 broadcasts live from the air from a God's perspective, clearly and distinctly showing the undercurrents underground.

[Damn it! Anchor, be careful!]

[Awesome! I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. It was so exciting!]

[Is there something underground? Was this also arranged by the anchors?]

Underneath? What's underneath?

Wan Qunli lowered his head subconsciously.

"ah!!!"

Half a second later, he let out the most terrible scream he had ever heard since he was born.

I don't know when, but a pale hand stretched out from the mud in the bamboo forest, from under the thick layer of dry bamboo leaves!

hand!

One hand!

This is not some prop arranged by the logistics staff!

Eco, the previous prop provider, is not responsible for this!

[Oh my god... I looked carefully and it looks like a human hand made of paper?]

[I understand! It’s the script! The host is still imitating Mrs. Cerolo’s plot!]

[Paper villain, huh? Great! More, more! Come on, anchor! I'll ask people to come to your live room to like and follow!]

[Oh my god, could it be that the android has been buried in the ground for so long?]

The bullet screeners were enjoying everything they saw.

But Wan Qunli knew that all this was true.

“Help! Help!!”

He couldn't control his screams and started to babbled: "Hands! Cold! Catch me!"

My legs hurt from being grabbed by the paper hand.

Although the brain-sensing bionic body can be adjusted to not cause more than 60% pain, even 60% pain is too much for Wan Qunli to bear.

If this is the original body, wouldn't it be useless?!

He wanted to ask for help from the two people around him, but the other two were also in danger.

Eco's expression was gloomy and terrifying. Looking closely, his lips were pale, but at least he was able to control his fear. He was squatting and trying to tear off the paper hand that was grabbing his ankle.

There's no way, the opponent is just too strong.

He took a breath, his expression gloomy.

Unable to exit the bionic body, what's the difference between being tortured and being murdered here!

When brain consciousness dies, that is real death!

On the other side, Xia Yi was also unable to move.

There are wolves in front and tigers below.

At this critical moment, he calmed down.

But it's not just because I can't move and want to ruin it, but...

The ghost bride in front of him raised her hand and slowly tore off the ridiculous talisman on her head.

Then he lowered his head and faced the paper hand that grabbed Xia Yi's ankle.

Ma Niang:?

This thing...

It pondered for a moment, and then it suddenly realized.

Wasn't it burned thoroughly before? *[1]

But now she had no daisy flowers or Yin Fire*[2] to use, so she had no way to light the paper figure.

Ma Niang could only use the most primitive method - tearing it apart by hand.

But as soon as it took a step forward, it saw that the boy in front of it looked like he was about to die peacefully.

Ma Niang: ...

It seems like it hasn't had time to do anything?

etc!

The ghost bride froze for a moment, then turned around.

I don't know when, but the bamboo forest area has been surrounded by a large area of ​​paper figurines.

Looking further away, there are even quite a few paper arms sticking out of the soil. It seems that they all came out from the ground.

Seeing her enemy, Ma Nianghun was filled with anger.

The most intuitive manifestation is the gusts of cold and howling wind in the bamboo forest area.

[Damn... this formation, why does it look so real?]

Finally someone noticed something was wrong.

At this moment, strange smiles appeared on the faces of the paper people, and they stretched out their twisted claws in four directions!

[1] Luo Shiqin once caused a big disturbance in the paper figurine nest and burned many paper figurines. See the copy of "Happiness" for details.

[2] “Wild daisy” is a flower placed at the graveside of married women, and Yinhuo is the candlelight lit by paper figurines to celebrate Yin marriages.

I was stuck for a while, sorry for being late ORZ
