Chen Kong stood under the huge screen and countless cameras floating in the air, his eyes slightly narrowed, his palms in his trouser pockets. Against the vast pale background, his figure seemed like a torn hole on the infinitely extended curtain, striking the eye vividly and strongly.
His eyes were a silent leaden gray, and his eyelashes cut the light into pieces and cast it into his eyes, like mottled marks on steel.
The mechanical metallic voice began to evaluate the points methodically:
"First time point: The correction officer failed to complete the task - heal the target person's trauma with warmth, points +0
The correctional officer prevented the target person's lower limbs from being amputated, points +500
The correction officer did not listen to the intelligent assistant's advice and insisted on changing the subsequent world line, and the score was -5000."
As the mechanical voice narrated, as if echoing the assessment content, excerpts from the first node were played rapidly on the screen.
Shen Kong turned a deaf ear to the sound echoing in the space, and just stared quietly at the images and texts sliding rapidly on the huge screen in front of him. The changing light and shadows were imprinted on his unpredictable face, and it was almost impossible to capture the deep emotions deposited in his eyes.
"Second time node: Correction staff completes the task - Healing the character's trauma with warmth, task completion: 30%, points +300
The correction officer failed to complete the task - correct the target person's three views, points +0
The correction officer conveyed incorrect values to the target person, and the score was -5000."
The scene on the screen was frozen in the pouring rain. Han Li, soaking wet, stood silently against the wall, holding a wooden stick in his pale hand. Chen Kong lifted the man in his hand and forced him to stand straighter. Then he smiled at Han Li: "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
The text on the screen was flowing several times faster than before. The previous one was almost covered by the next one before it was fully displayed. It was dazzling and almost impossible to capture any information. Then, after pausing for a few seconds, the mechanical voice continued to evaluate:
"Third time node: Correction officer completes the task - Healing the character's trauma with warmth, task completion: 50%, points +500
Correctionist completes the task - correct the target person's three views, task completion rate: 10%, points +100
Correctionist completes the main task, points +1000
Correction officer reveals his identity without authorization, points -5000"
That emotionless voice echoed in the vast pale space:
"Corrector's total score: -12600. The score assessment process is over.
The subsequent real-time monitoring and assessment of the plane is now being carried out, with the highest score being one thousand.
After the subsequent real-time monitoring and assessment of the plane is completed, if the corrector's score is still negative, the studio will no longer provide a temporary identity for Corrector No. 0893, and the corrector's spirit body will lose its possession. ”
That is death.
Shen Kong listened indifferently, raising his eyebrows as if it had nothing to do with him, as if death was something he was already accustomed to.
The words on the screen were brushing more frantically, passing by his eyes like afterimages. Countless cameras suspended in the air were pointed at Shen Kong. The whole space seemed to be silent. Suddenly, the voice sounded again: "Due to a large number of requests and objections from the audience, the audience voting function will be opened for the correction point assessment this time."
Two opposing red and blue lines suddenly appeared on the screen, and each line was rising rapidly.
Red is death, blue is life.
A few minutes later, the blue line won with an absolute majority.
"The results of the selection are out. The studio has decided to respect everyone's choice and preserve the spirit of Corrector No. 0893. The studio's temporary contract will be converted to a long-term contract. Temporary Corrector No. 0893 will be converted to a professional Three Views Corrector. However, due to the large amount of points he owes and his history of not following orders, his working hours and working methods will be determined by the studio. The expiration date of the contract will be determined by the studio, and the right to interpret the contract belongs to the studio."
What a happy ending.
The corrections officer didn’t lose his life, the studio had free labor, and the live broadcast audience had something to entertain themselves for a long time.
The live broadcast room was filled with joy, and everyone was very satisfied. Joyful words flashed across the screen, but at this moment, a faint voice sounded in the empty and desolate space:
"I object."
The sound was not loud, but some strange quality in it made the entire live broadcast room involuntarily quiet down; even the words that were rapidly passing by on the screen paused for a moment.
Chen Kong still stood casually under the countless cameras pointed at him, his eyes narrowed, his expression indifferent, and he repeated leisurely:
"I object."
The entire live studio exploded: "Is he crazy? Does he know that rejecting the contract means death?"
"Wow, I don't want to see him die. I really like this correctional officer character!"
"Ahhhhhhh Brother Shen, wake up. What's the point of being in just one novel world? There are so many other novels in the world. I'm looking forward to the plot after you enter other novel worlds!!! There will be more people who will be crazy about you!"
The screen in front of him seemed to be covered with a curtain, isolating all the light and shadow rotation. The next second, Shen Kong heard an anxious voice ringing in his ears. He recognized that this was the voice of the smart assistant who had always been with him. The system's originally mechanical voice finally sounded up and down:
"Corrector, what are you doing? I fought so hard to get this opportunity for you! As long as you sign the official contract with the studio, you will have countless temporary identities to choose from, countless lives and worlds to experience, and you can become a big star in this world! If this is a novel with you as the protagonist, this book can continue to be written for millions of words, and you can continue to play as long as you want. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Shen Kong didn't even raise his eyebrows:
"Do you remember what I told you in the second node?"
"……Um?"
The system choked.
Shen Kong continued patiently:
"I am willing to take on this unprofitable assignment from you, not because I am afraid of death - if I cared that much about my life, I would have retired long ago."
The system fell silent.
Shen Kong didn't care about its silence, but continued calmly: "At that time, I told you that I was an extreme hedonist, but now I want to tell you another thing. I hate being manipulated and controlled by others, especially now... being imprisoned under the surveillance of the dragnet all the time?"
He sneered, "Go away."
The system stopped persuading, and the curtain covering the huge screen was lifted again. The active screen and countless cameras aimed at him appeared in front of Shen Kong again.
The voice that resounded throughout the space sounded again: "Does Correction Officer No. 0893 confirm that you want to give up the opportunity to become a regular employee?"
Chen Kong still looked indifferent and lazy:
"confirm."
"The points assessment process is over. Now we are conducting the subsequent real-time monitoring and assessment of the plane. The maximum bonus is 1,000..."
As the voice fell, a huge chart appeared on the screen in front of him. A red line representing danger stretched straight across the center of the chart. It was the plot line of the original work. The white line represented the fate of the target character, and the blue line represented the three outlooks of the target character. If these two lines overlapped with the red line, or even continued to go down, it meant that the correction officer's mission had failed, and the fate of the target character had returned to its original track, or even worse, under the influence of the world line.
However, a strange situation occurred.
No one knows how this could happen.
From the very beginning, the blue line has been winding below the red line, and is even sinking deeper at an unstoppable speed.
This shows that the target person's heart is extremely dark, even exceeding the villain standard set in the original plot, and even detonating a nuclear explosion. It's not surprising that bullets and humans are destroyed again.
However, on the contrary, the white line symbolizing the trajectory of destiny has been extending steadily and slowly upwards. From the dangerous distance approaching the red line at the beginning, it has been pulled farther and farther, and higher and higher. If judged based on this line, even the charitable boss on Fukuzawa's side cannot compare with him.
This has never happened.
Even the mechanical sounds in the studio fell into a long silence.
Shen Kong couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, and his fingers subconsciously tightened slightly - he didn't expect that he would make a casual request before leaving.
...Han Li actually did it.
No matter how much darkness, hatred and distortion his heart contained, he used his amazing willpower to restrain himself and force himself to be good.
Chen Kong couldn't describe his current mood for a moment, it was as if a small piece of his heart, which was wrapped in a thick and hard steel armor, was suddenly knocked off, and a certain sour and swollen emotion slowly seeped into it. His soul, which had been numbed by guns, steel, smoke and blood, seemed to be slightly touched. This strange feeling that had never appeared in the past thirty years made him feel a little at a loss.
"Time speed adjustment."
A mechanical sound rang in my ears.
The extension speed of the two lines increased, but the general trend and direction did not change.
Suddenly, at this moment, Shen Kong sensitively captured a strange fluctuation, and all the lines on the screen began to tremble violently, as if some uncontrollable force caused it to fluctuate violently. Then, the pale space where Shen Kong was suddenly flashed a dazzling red light, and a piercing alarm sounded: "Warning, warning, the a528 small world is out of control, please adjust it in time!"
"Warning, warning! A528 small world is out of control, please adjust it in time!"
The mechanical voice remained calm: "Detection fluctuations exceeding the threshold, destroying the a528 small world to prevent impact on other worlds."
Shen Kong’s heart was shocked: “Wait!”
Before he finished speaking, the alarm continued to sound: "Destruction failed, small world A528 is trying to break free..."
All the monitors suspended in the air began to spin around. Chen Kong could almost hear the faint vibration in the space. The voice that had never had any emotion became obviously anxious: "Forced to prevent separation!"
"Preventing disengagement from success."
Without a moment's respite, the same alarm sounded again: "Alarm, alarm! A001, A002... and other 3,200 small worlds are affected by the fluctuations, producing unstable fluctuations, and are about to get out of control, about to get out of control!"
Large areas of blank space flashed on the screen in front of him, and the equally confused live broadcast audience kept swiping question marks on it. Soon, the screen was turned off.
Obviously, the live broadcast is over.
The spherical cameras suspended in the air were still spinning around, colliding with each other and making unstable electrical sounds. Chen Kong put his hands in his pockets, watching the chaotic and interesting scene in front of him with some curiosity, with an idle look of someone who was watching the fun and didn't mind the big deal.
The metallic sound resounded in the vast empty space. For some reason, Shen Kong could hear a hint of exasperation in the seemingly mechanical and calm sound this time:
"Testing can be done with specialized staff that can be sent into the small world."
——"Testing completed, number: 285 people."
“Choose the best option.”
——"Selection completed, number: 0 people.
The out-of-control small world is about to be out of control, and high-level employees are excluded from entering. Please make a new choice. ”
Silence followed. The only sounds in the room were the monotonous, piercing alarm and the sound of the camera colliding. The mechanical voice said reluctantly, "Expand the search range."
——"Search scope expanded, number: 1 person."
【Corrector No. 0893】
【Transferring】
