[!--title--]

The fat steward didn't come to the door again, which means Brother Zhe managed to deal with it successfully without showing any flaws.

Chu Shici knew that Lao Gong was the best.

After spending the night with the hero in peace, Chu Shici got up on time the next morning.Just thinking about listening to the morning news at [-] o'clock as usual.When I turned my head, I found that the male lead was not awake.

He is acting as a mentally handicapped speaker. No one asks him to play the news, and he can't take the initiative to play it.He entered the space with his soul, holding the system and eavesdropping on himself.

There is nothing special in today's news, it's all classics.The only new thing is probably a new [Data People Research Association] among the people.

Committed to researching whether data people are human, whether they are real life forms, trying to find a way for humans and data people to live together, and asking the government to protect data people from being violated by players.

When the reporter interviewed on the street, the passers-by who were interviewed called the people in the seminar the Holy Mother.

These are old news, now the situation is that the government is ready to clear all the data.

It shows that the protest of the Research Society has failed, and the data people have not been recognized by the world, and they will eventually face the fate of being collectively cleaned up.

Chu Shici could understand the country's decision. In his eyes, there was no difference between a data person, a cloned person, and a modified person.

He has seen them all and knows their final outcome.

In many people's minds, there is no human being without flesh and blood.Data people and humans are doomed to be unable to coexist, and being cleaned up is an inevitable result.

Chu Shici is not a person who cares about all the people in the world, he only cares about the people around him, whether he is happy or not.

The hero didn't get up from the bed until someone came to deliver breakfast.

Unlike what Chu Shici thought, he didn't seem to need to use the news to determine the time.

After breakfast, Chu Shici saw him pull out a piece of paper from the bottom of the lunch box.Using the pencil I kept privately, I fumbled to write on it.

Chu Shici peeked with his head.

[He changed his location, there is no black box in the utility room and Room [-].Investigate the other floors and don't let him find anything unusual.He didn't destroy the black box, proving he's still rocking.Don't provoke him, lest the dog jump over the wall in a hurry. 】

The 'he' refers to Brother Liu, the fat steward.

Chu Shici remembered that the male protagonist mentioned in the recording that he had already collected evidence of collusion inside and outside the virtual prison and using the holographic cabin to imprison living people.

He didn't understand the principle. Presumably, the virtual world and the real world should be synchronized to complete this task of collecting evidence.

With the help of the Phantom Life technicians, the male lead stored the evidence in a black box.When he was about to take it out, Brother Liu betrayed him.

Combined with Brother Liu's various performances, Chu Shici felt that he should belong to a neutral position.

He wanted to use the prison to make money, but he didn't want to be punished by the law, and he didn't dare to offend Dr. Sun's camp to death.

So he snatched the black box and used it as a life-saving card in his hand.

If until the data is destroyed, Dr. Sun and others have not found other evidence.If the prison wins, he will dispose of the black box and leave with the money.

If Dr. Sun and the others get other criminal evidence, or kill him directly in the real world, take him out of the holographic cabin.

Then he handed over the black box as an important evidence.Make amends and strive for leniency.

If Shen Xiuzhe and the insider accidentally had an 'accident', they would never wake up again.He can also push the boat along the way, portraying himself as an undercover agent hiding in the dark, from a traitor to a tragic hero.

Brother Liu is very cautious. Chu Shiqian has been in this world for so long, and he has never participated in abusing living people from the beginning to the end, and he will not let his subordinates touch Shen Xiuzhe.

One is that chickens have bosses, so they cannot be touched casually.The second is to think about committing less crimes and leaving a way out for myself.

Brother Liu hoped that the prison would win from the bottom of his heart. He would try his best to delay the time and hide the black box until the end.

Chu Shici fell into deep thought. He was wondering where Brother Liu could hide the black box?

Room No. [-] next door is for the participating audience, and it is a project that only exists after the virtual prison is completed.

Shirt fragments remain on the floor of the utility room, and the number '4' symbolizing the number of cycles is on the wall

This shows that Brother Liu used to hide the black box in a room that would not be affected by the main plot of the prison.After the loop starts, the position of the black box will not change.

Chu Shici stroked his train of thought.

Only rooms inhabited by real people will not be affected by the cycle.The real people in this prison include staff, chickens, spectators participating in the battle royale, and partially replaced mice.

The mice are at the bottom, and they live in Datongpu together with the data man Mouse.The living room of the real people inserted by the note men is not outside the cycle.

Except for Shen Xiuzhe, the rest of the chickens don't have such a strong fighting spirit, and they all live on the fifth floor.

Participating audiences are not subject to prison management, and there will be live broadcasts in the room at any time, which is an uncontrollable factor.Hide the black box inside, and if the audience sees it, things will get completely out of control.

The staff lounge should have been searched long ago by the person with the note.

Looking at it this way, the scope is actually very small.

Just need to check the chicken room, or similar to the utility room, the kind of inconspicuous work room.

Thinking of this, Chu Shici suddenly froze for a moment.

Since the hero can remember the cycle, why does he write the number '4' on the wall of the utility room?

Before he could come up with an idea, the little speaker was picked up by the male protagonist.

Looking at the face that was so close at hand, Chu Shici tactically leaned back to avoid any accidents.

"Student A Ci."

"I'm here."

Hearing his response, the man was silent for a while, then suddenly chuckled, "You belong to me now."

Chu Shici: ...?

system:【? ! 】

What nonsense is he talking about?

Chu Shici was startled when he said such words suddenly, he thought the man was going to do something to him.

But the hero's attitude towards him is no different from before.He still treats him as a dead thing, unlike Shen Xiuzhe who kisses and hugs the speaker.

His behavior is more like snatching something from someone else.It feels good to use, so I simply occupy it directly and treat it as my own.

Chu Shici had a bad feeling.

He was afraid that when they met again, the hero would not return him to brother Zhe.

Two big men fought for a speaker.

It is simply a world famous painting, Chu Shici did not dare to think about it.

----

The longer he stayed with the hero, the more Chu Shici felt that this person was abnormal.

His possessiveness is ridiculously strong, so strong that it makes people feel hairy.

Once, he accidentally took out the eraser that Shen Xiuzhe had forgotten in the corner.

Under Chu Shici's surprised gaze, he wiped the eraser clean and said to it, "It belongs to me." '

No matter how small and fragmented it is, all Shen Xiuzhe's unique items will be taken as his own after he finds them.

The hero gave himself a new name, Shen Cheng'an, and seemed to be eager to get rid of the identity of 'Shen Xiuzhe'.

He orders a few piano pieces every day, and sits quietly in the room in a daze.I don't know what he is thinking, his expression will suddenly become very distorted.

When Shen Chengan was taking a bath, through the transparent glass, Chu Shici saw scars on his body.He would often scratch his body as if dealing with a life and death enemy.

If Shen Chengan's vitality can be seen, then his vitality should already be lower than 10.

Chu Shici felt that this person was also quite pitiful.

Sympathy is sympathy, he is still not sure what the hero thinks.If he really wanted to harm Brother Zhe, sympathizing with him and exposing himself would be harming Brother Zhe.

Chu Shici clearly distinguishes which is more important.

He dutifully played the role of the small speaker, and Shen Chengan didn't notice anything unusual.

One person and one box get along very harmoniously, and Chu Shici has also peeped into many secrets during this time.

When there is no one around, Shen Chengan likes to talk to himself.The voice is not so sleepy, and the words are often repeated, and the logic is particularly confusing.

Chu Shici couldn't even understand what he meant, but the sentence he repeated the most was, 'Why, it's not fair. '

He would always fall asleep halfway through and sit up without warning.Then, under Chu Shici's horrified gaze, he covered his head and let out a nervous laugh.

One muttered, 'This is a massacre, I know it all, I know it all.Why, it's not fair. '

Chu Shici observed that Shen Chengan was normal most of the time during the day.Aloof and arrogant, taciturn.Apart from being able to secretly connect with the paper man, he looks no different from Brother Zhe.

But at night, he became restless and irritable, pacing up and down the room.When irritable to the extreme, she would run over and take a bath repeatedly, digging her thighs, waist and abdomen, and blood was everywhere.

It was a very poignant scene.

Chu Shici had also seen brother Zhe's mental breakdown before, but the two had different personalities and expressed their breakdown in different ways.

Brother Zhe died on the spot and would not react to the outside world, just like a walking corpse.No hobbies, no curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

He has a strong ability to resist blows, and he can endure unimaginable pain.Once he completely collapses, he will directly choose to commit suicide, and there is no transition period of self-mutilation.

Shen Chengan seemed to be quite energetic, and he was also curious about the outside world, showing some preferences.For example, I like to listen to piano music, and I like to let the small speakers play various cat sounds.

But he would self-mutilate like crazy, with scars on his skin hidden under his clothes.

Chu Shici lived with him for more than half a month, Shen Chengan was not wary of the small speaker, and he also got to know this man a little bit.

Shen Chengan didn't want to commit suicide at all, his desire to survive was extremely strong.He even hid some medicine privately, and every time the self-harm ends, he will carefully apply the medicine to clean the wound.

He did those things and had nothing to do with depression or anxiety.He simply loathed this body and hated himself extremely.

Chu Shici had a vague guess.

From the current point of view, there are only two possibilities for Shen Chengan to become like this.

One, as he said, he was really real.

During the imprisonment, he was constantly belittled and insulted by others, and his self-cognition gradually appeared problems, and he developed hatred towards himself.

Two, Shen Chengan is lying, but he is actually the data person.

It may be that some method was used, or it may be because of some accidents, his memory will not be cleared with the cycle, but will always be retained.

He already knew the fact that he was a data person, but he couldn't accept this reality.He hates this virtual world, and also hates his false self.

According to the information revealed by Shen Chengan's words and deeds, Chu Shici felt that the possibility of him being a data person was at least 90%.

But what's the use of him concealing this matter, can he become a living person by pretending to be a real person?

His state was very unstable, and Chu Shici was worried that he would do something extreme.

----

Shen Xiuzhe has been separated from the little speaker for a month.

At the beginning, he would hide in the quilt and wipe his tears. After a long time, he gradually adapted to the lonely environment.

The declining vitality value is slowly increasing, and it has risen back to 78 points a little bit.

The fat steward didn't see his abnormality, and regarded him as another 'Shen Xiuzhe', and gave him tools and asked him to draw.

Shen Xiuzhe once again lived a peaceful life of painting and sleeping every day, eating and waiting for death.

It may be that he thinks about it day by day and dreams at night. He has been having nightmares recently.

In the dream, Ah Ci didn't distinguish between the two of them, and took the man as him.Let the man kiss his smooth shell and make voice movements with him.

Sometimes, I also dreamed that Ah Ci turned into a blonde beauty.Do that with another man in front of him.

For several mornings in a row, Shen Xiuzhe was woken up by anger.He was sulking all by himself, and the things he drew became more and more anti-human.

Every time the fat steward came to check on the progress, he would face the canvas and fall into deep thought.

He really can't appreciate it, maybe this is art.

In room [-] across the door, Chu Shici was still using the convenience of the mentally handicapped speaker to collect information.

After getting along for more than two months, he basically found out their details.He also sneaked into Shen Chengan's plan.

Now it's just the planning stage, and the people arranged by the hero are still operating secretly, infiltrating into the prison bit by bit.

When this cycle is over, the conflict will be on the surface.

At that time, the male protagonist will choose the right time to leave the house, and the interior should attack in batches in multiple lines, release the dogs with the strongest combat effectiveness, and disperse the staff inside the prison.

If until then, the position of the black box cannot be locked.They tore their faces, violently interrogated the fat steward, and forced out the location of the black box.

----

More than three months have passed, and the content of the news has also jumped several times.

One morning, Chu Shici heard on the news that the 'Trash Can Hidden Corpse Case' had been successfully cracked.

He realized that this was a time node, and in a few days, this cycle would end.

Chu Shici was very disturbed.

Although after observation, he has already confirmed that the possibility of brother Zhe being a real person is far greater than that of Shen Chengan, but he still thinks wildly.

If he guessed wrong, brother Zhe is indeed a data man.When the cycle starts, Brother Zhe's memory will be cleared accordingly.He will forget all the past with the little speaker, and then they will start all over again.

The contact is too early, Zhege's vitality value is too high, and he doesn't need a small speaker to accompany him, so it will be more difficult to get along with than before.

The contact was too late, if Shen Chengan's plan ended early, then he and brother Zhe would not have much time to spend together.

Chu Shici was restless, even when Shen Chengan talked to him, his reaction was much slower.

Probably because he thought the small speaker was broken, Shen Chengan held him and studied it for a long time.

Chu Shici replied lazily, "I'm here."

Shen Chengan was obviously relieved.

In his pocket was an eraser he had picked up, in his trousers pocket was a utility knife he had turned over, and in his arms was a small speaker he had snatched.

Shen Chengan touched them one by one, and these things that belonged to Shen Xiuzhe originally belonged to him now.

Seeing that face exactly like Brother Zhe's, showing a slightly satisfied expression, Chu Shici was in a complicated mood.

He felt that this person might be envious of Shen Xiuzhe, but Brother Zhe had nothing to envy.

Zhenzhen is controlled by his adoptive father and does not have a playmate.When he grew up, he was sent to prison by his only relative.

The data person is generated in the prison, and has been trapped in a cycle since birth, in despair and without freedom.

The male protagonist's adoptive father has a strong desire to control, he does not belong to his own life.Whether real people or data people, they have nothing.

Chu Shici couldn't tell which of them was more pitiful, but he saw his former self in Shen Chengan.

No one paid for his meals when he was in school, and he had no pocket money, so he could only eat steamed buns every day.If someone in the class dropped a snack on the floor, he would wait until the break, pick it up secretly when no one was around, wipe the ashes and stuff it into his mouth.

Chu Shici decided that no matter whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, he would try his best to help Shen Chengan on the premise of not endangering Brother Zhe.

Think of it as helping your memory, your childhood self.

On Sunday night, Chu Shici found that Shen Chengan was very excited.He still didn't have much expression, but his breathing was obviously much faster, and he felt that something big was about to happen.

Chu Shici didn't sleep that night, so he stayed up all night with him.

After staying up until two o'clock in the morning, the originally quiet prison suddenly became lively.

Through the heavy iron door, Chu Shici heard noisy footsteps coming from the corridor.

Shen Xiuzhe, who was sleeping in the opposite door, was also awakened by these noises.

The sound was too messy, seriously affecting his judgment.He turned his head to try to discern the movement outside, and the iron door that had been closed was suddenly pushed open.

He could feel a few people rushing in, and Shen Xiuzhe was about to get up to defend himself, saying that someone grabbed his arm suddenly.

A middle-aged man's generous and reliable voice was next to his ear, "Don't be afraid of comrades, we are the police! We are here to save you!"

After being imprisoned for too long, Shen Xiuzhe was stunned for a moment.He was supported by the police and ran a few steps, and his mind gradually calmed down.

This is not reality, this is a virtual prison.

The police did rescue everyone back then, but 'Shen Xiuzhe' was sent in again.

The appearance of the police now means that the main plot of the prison is over, and a new cycle is about to begin.

Affected by the main plot, the prison staff are not present for the time being.

Shen Xiuzhe broke free from the policeman's hand, turned around and walked to the third room opposite.

The police automatically generated by the machine, because of the lack of data and not intelligent enough, will only follow the set route.

He didn't seem to notice that the victim had left at all, and he continued to move forward while maintaining the supporting posture.

Shen Xiuzhe walked to Room No. [-], put his hands against the iron door, and pressed his forehead against the door.His voice trembled uncontrollably when he spoke.

"A Ci, wait for me to come back."

You are mine alone, no one can take you away.Not even if it's another self.
