147 Killing VIP (Part 2)
◎Isn't this another kind of polluted area?◎
Zhu Ning walked into the underground passage.
The opening above has been completely merged, there is no way to retreat, and the ancient steps extend down one step at a time.
Liu Niannian had a flashlight in his hand, and his clothes seemed to be glowing.
Zhu Ning asked Liu Niannian: "Are the clothes you are wearing made of special material?"
Liu Niannian: "Yes, but this is something that comes with my consciousness."
Zhu Ning: “…”
He was indeed a paying player. She remembered that when she came in before, she asked Daju if she could bring anything in, and Daju said it was impossible.
The clothes on Zhu Ning's body were the choice made by her consciousness after self-identification. They had no other function except to prevent her from running naked.
After walking along this road for more than ten minutes, the sound of gunfire above could no longer be heard. There was a door deep underground.
There was a faint light at the edge of the door. Before opening the door, Liu Niannian pressed a button on her body, and her clothes and appearance changed.
Her once dazzling outfit turned into a very ordinary T-shirt and jeans. Her beautiful face also became ordinary and looked unremarkable in the crowd.
Zhu Ning asked, "What are you doing?"
Liu Niannian: "He must have seen my face. I was afraid he would recognize me."
Bao Ruiming was in the upper class society, so he definitely had met Liu Niannian.
Liu Niannian opened the door, the white light was dazzling, and Zhu Ning squinted subconsciously.
Zhu Ning opened his eyes again and found himself standing on the beach, which was completely different from the beach landing just now, a soft golden sand beach.
There were many tourists visiting around. A little boy was not far away. It seemed that his foot was scratched by a shell on the beach. His mother in a red dress ran over to see where he was hurt.
Two meters away, someone was sunbathing, and her companion was applying sunscreen to her.
In the distance, there are the calls of seabirds and the rustling of leaves. For a virtual scene, it is so realistic.
There is no sense of technology, and it even feels a bit old-fashioned. This place is very much like an ordinary old seaside town in Zhu Ning's world.
The three of them seemed to appear out of thin air on the beach, and when Zhu Ning turned around, the door had disappeared.
Faced with polluted land, the rich have uploaded their consciousness to the cloud.
She had thought that the so-called consciousness body in the cloud should be magnificent and that rich people lived in palaces.
She had previously imagined that these wealthy people might live together in the clouds, sharing the pinnacle of power.
I didn’t expect it to be a separate scene created based on private customization.
Now that the sea is no longer visible, Bao Ruiming has created a world in his mind.
Not only Zhu Ning, the country boy, was surprised, but even Xu Meng and Liu Niannian were quite surprised.
After they walked out the door, Daju's voice disappeared. Daju couldn't help them break through the firewall, so they had to rely on themselves.
Zhu Ning asked, "Is this the Consciousness Body Cloud?"
Liu Niannian reacted, she was very familiar with her family's business. "Every customer has different requirements, so we provide customized services. I've seen many people build palaces in their minds, but this is the first time I've seen such an ordinary town. Maybe this place is very important to him."
Zhu Ning found everything he saw very interesting and asked, "So each consciousness is stored separately? They can't visit each other or anything like that?"
This question would have struck an expert as naive, but Liu Niannian patiently answered, "They're stored independently. If something goes wrong with a consciousness, we can directly disconnect it from the server without contaminating other guests."
Zhu Ning had many questions, and the second one followed immediately: "Question, is it possible that a contaminated area will form here?"
Liu Niannian: "It's entirely possible that the collapse of human consciousness could turn it into pollutants. That person's consciousness has been purified, and he could also form a polluted area in the cloud. But I've never seen it or been inside it, so I don't know what it looks like. If it's contaminated, we have a crisis management plan to kill it directly."
Liu Niannian continued, "Prometheus handles all the pollution on the Internet. It opens the network, filters out the pollution, and protects our communications from being damaged."
That’s how those tomb posts came about.
Zhu Ning looked at the bustling crowd around her. A child ran past her. Zhu Ning asked, "Are these people alive?"
Liu Niannian: "Most of them are virtual characters. You can treat them as NPCs."
Zhu Ning asked, "Will we be discovered?"
Liu Niannian: "These people won't. In pursuit of realism, each NPC has its own personality and consciousness. They think they are living people, but in their eyes we are just tourists."
Realism?
Rich people are really weird. Even after uploading their consciousness, they still pursue reality.
But if you think about it carefully, in the real world, aren’t ordinary people like NPCs to the privileged class?
Liu Niannian is a member of the Lu family. She knows many of the rules governing sentient beings and said, "But be careful of the inspection team."
Inspection team?
Liu Niannian hummed, "Everyone's consciousness is different, but everyone will have an inspection team, which is a security system. Don't do anything that goes against common sense, otherwise it will attract attention."
Liu Niannian thought of Zhu Ning's outburst at the hot pot restaurant last time. Knowing her style of behavior, she warned: "If you go too far, the disinfection process may be activated."
Zhu Ning: "What is the disinfection procedure?"
Liu Niannian: "I'm not quite sure about the situation in the cloud. The response in each scene is different. Generally speaking, it's a quick kill mode."
For example, meteorites falling from the sky, sudden disasters, and the world being directly destroyed and rebuilt in a very "logical" way.
It's equivalent to a one-click restart.
Zhu Ning pondered for a while. Isn’t this just another kind of polluted area?
Do the logical thing and don't get caught by the pollutants.
Once discovered, the contaminated area will enter hunting mode and the consciousness body in the cloud will enter disinfection mode.
The logic is similar, so Zhu Ning should stick to his old business.
Xu Meng asked: "Then where is he?"
Liu Niannian shook his head: "I don't know, he can be anywhere."
Bao Ruiming might be sunbathing on the beach, lying under a parasol, strolling on the street, or at home.
Because consciousness can change, Bao Ruiming may not look the same as Zhu Ning has seen him. He may be a little boy or a junior high school student.
It depends on which stage of myself this pervert likes.
Zhu Ningjing took some time to think. She had been working as a psychologist for pollutants and now felt that she could return to her old job.
Zhu Ning asked, "So the consciousness is actually the embodiment of a person's inner self?"
Liu Niannian said cautiously, "For a consciousness of his level, yes, and Bao Ruiming has the right to change the program."
"How should I put it," Liu Niannian thought for a moment, "we've walked into the dream theme park he created."
To a certain extent, the cloud of consciousness is actually a dream space.
It is becoming more and more like a polluted area. We need to follow a certain logic and then find the source of pollution. Bao Ruiming is the source of pollution.
The town is so large and looks so warm and peaceful, without any hint of anything.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Xu Meng looked at the waves in the distance and said, "He seems to like the sea very much."
Zhu Ning had been to his office before. Bao Ruiming's office was built above an aquarium, with sharks swimming under his desk, making him look like the overlord of the ocean.
The scene certainly meant something to him.
Xu Meng: "Look for clues."
Liu Niannian: "Shall we go our separate ways?"
Zhu Ning: "Let's go together. I feel this place is quite strange."
Although it looks normal, when you think about the perverted brain of Bao Ruiming, normality is the biggest abnormality.
Because Liu Niannian had changed her appearance, the three of them were not very conspicuous in the crowd. Zhu Ning observed them as they walked.
When Zhu Ning entered the contaminated area before, he usually read the tombstones and knew roughly what had happened inside, but this was a conscious body and he had no idea at all.
There are only a few large sections to explore: the beach, the ocean, and houses in the distance.
The ocean looks dangerous. Zhu Ning once watched a movie in which the protagonist touched the edge of the ocean, which was actually a wall.
Is the end of the sea here also a data wall?
Because they couldn't confirm whether there were any monsters hidden under the ocean, they gave up on this part.
The island is not big, and I walked around the beach but didn't find anything special. When I finished checking the beach, the sun had already set and night had fallen.
Liu Niannian: "It's so peaceful here."
As they walked along, they only saw the townspeople and some people selling flowers along the street.
Zhu Ning: "I feel the same way. I even want to live here and retire."
No wonder rich people like to live in the clouds of consciousness, they can really achieve inner peace.
Walking out of the beach, there are wind turbines in the distance. A clean road extends out, and the houses on both sides have seaside characteristics. It is particularly pleasing to the eye at first glance.
If it were in Zhu Ning's era, this island would definitely be a fresh and clean check-in destination for internet celebrities.
Zhu Ning suddenly thought that if there were no pollution in the world, the three of them might really be able to go on vacation to the beach. Unfortunately, pollutants spread, all the oceans were swallowed up, and only 20% of the land remained.
They can only "enjoy" the seaside in a perverted mind.
The three of them suddenly stopped and saw a church in front of them. Compared with the entire quiet island, the spire of the church looked a little weird.
Considering Bao Ruiming’s completely abnormal behavior, anything with religious overtones deserves attention.
Xu Meng: "Let's go and take a look."
In front of Xu Meng, Zhu Ning instinctively acted as his deputy and immediately followed.
When I got closer, I found that the church was very old, with a history of at least two hundred years. The stained glass was already mottled and dusty, and weeds were growing around the church, as if no one took care of it.
But there was a dim light inside the church.
Liu Niannian: "This doesn't seem right."
The cloud of consciousness is generally used for the enjoyment of guests. For a middle-aged man, it is normal to have countless beautiful wives or huge amounts of money in the cloud.
Or some people play farming games specifically when spring comes and flowers bloom.
What's the point of putting an old weird church?
The church walls are not very smooth, with bumps on them, and are difficult to see clearly from a distance.
Zhu Ning: "There seems to be something up there."
Liu Niannian was also curious about everything. She leaned over to take a look and was stunned, then turned around immediately.
Liu Niannian didn't say that she was scared, but her face looked unhappy.
Zhu Ning took a look and immediately understood why Liu Niannian reacted this way.
In a trance, she thought she saw countless eyes, which were close to each other, pressing each other, and looking towards her in a dark mass.
Zhu Ning touched it with her hand. She was not wearing protective clothing. In the past, she used the glove sensor device to transmit the sense of touch, but this time she touched it directly.
Very hard, like a lot of teeth.
This is a barnacle, one of the most disgusting creatures in the ocean, which often lives on other creatures such as whales or turtles, including human ships.
They are seabed parasites that constantly devour the life of their host.
If Zhu Ning had not met Jiang Ping, he might not have felt anything. But now it is hard not to think too much, as they are all parasitic creatures.
These barnacles are alive, and only when they are alive can they cling firmly to the house.
It's so strange. Barnacles are mostly found on rocks by the sea. This place is so far away from the ocean, without water and exposed to the sun every day. How do they survive?
Is this house entirely covered in barnacles? Besides the walls, what about the inside? Are the tables, chairs, and benches also covered in countless barnacles?
The author has something to say:
If you don't know what barnacles are, you can search for them, but I don't recommend searching for them.
The movie mentioned is "The Truman Show"
I forgot who was guiding Jiang Ping in the deserted village instance, where the garrisoned soldier was parasitized by insects.
