In this paper doll incident, the number of victims identified intermittently is approximately 150,000.
Of these, approximately 50,000 deaths occurred because the players did not follow the game rules and instead committed suicide according to the game's programmed procedures, thus failing to be detected by the virtual world.
Those people have truly vanished without a trace.
Of the remaining less than 100,000 people, about a hundred or so were in the same situation as Ye Qinghuan. They were framed and their souls were imprisoned in the virtual world, leaving only an unknowing and unconscious body outside. Many of them lost their families, wives and children, and were separated from their loved ones as a result.
The more data collected, the more shocking the truth becomes.
When this evidence was laid bare before Chu Meng, a hint of emotion finally appeared on her face.
I'm so sorry!
"Do you know the terrible consequences you've caused?" Bai Yu's hawk-like gaze pierced Chu Meng's heart.
Chu Meng smiled. "I can guess some of it, but I'm sorry!"
“No! I can’t see a trace of apology in your eyes.” Bai Yu’s thin lips parted slightly, revealing the truth hidden behind Chu Meng’s mask. “You think that since they don’t respect life and have no reason to live, they might as well use it for scientific research and contribute to the development of your virtual world. You are a rather cold-blooded egoist.”
"Sorry, you found out! It's true." Chu Meng gave Bai Yu a smile that suggested she'd been caught, looking at him apologetically, but with a hint of interest in her eyes.
Bai Yu felt a tightness in his chest, and Chu Meng's calmness gave him the illusion that he was communicating with a non-human being.
Chu Meng tilted her head slightly, as if lost in memories, and said softly, "Actually, I didn't want it to be like this either. After all, we are the same kind of people, and it's not good for our own kind to kill each other. When we first saw that paper on extracting the soul from a computer, we also thought about using animals for experiments. But, as you know, animals' thinking and consciousness are not the same as humans'. They can't control computers. Occasionally there are successful extractions, but it's meaningless to do it this way."
Bai Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he roughly understood what Chu Meng meant. His gaze darkened.
As expected, Chu Meng smiled and said, "You guessed it too. Humans and animals are different after all. Experiments that work on animals may not work on humans. This only increases research costs. I was very poor at the time, so I had to be very careful with my money."
Bai Yu remained silent for a long time, unsure how to express his inner resentment. He parted his thin lips slightly and slowly uttered a heavy sentence.
"From a scientific research perspective, I admire you, but from a human 'humanity' perspective, you are an executioner."
"I'm sorry!" Chu Meng curled up, hugging her legs. If you only looked at the scene and didn't know what happened, you would think she was an ordinary woman who needed protection.
However, Bai Yu knew what a cold and hard heart was hidden beneath her seemingly weak exterior.
"Don't say sorry. An apology without sincerity is an insult to life. You have no right to say sorry!"
Bai Yu said coldly, then turned and walked outside. But when he reached the door, he stopped.
Why is this game called "Paper Dolls"?
Chu Meng lifted her head from her knees, her dark eyes looking at Bai Yu, and smiled: "The online world is a zero-dimensional world, and also an infinite-dimensional world. Extracting a soul from a three-dimensional world and then reshaping it into a human is like turning a tree into paper. It's a reshaping process, so it's called a paper doll. In addition, they are also like a blank sheet of paper, on which you can draw whatever you want."
