[!--title--]

Time passed by little by little, the night was coming to an end, and a new day gradually began.

If Chu Shici's guess is correct, after five o'clock, the cycle will officially begin.At that time, in this prison, he will see a side he has never seen before.

Shen Chengan was still fiddling with the wreckage of the speakers, looking a little depressed.

After hearing his story, the system felt sorry for him, 【I feel like he's going to cry. 】

Chu Shici kept looking at the clock, "Cry, it will feel better if you cry." '

[Brother Zhe's eyes turn red, you just go around and coax him, double standard. 】

'I already have a boyfriend, and in his current state, he can't tell what liking is.The situation was not good in the first place, I don't want to create an Asura field again at this time. '

Chu Shici was absent-minded when he spoke, his eyes kept looking around.

The black box was taken away by the fat steward, and finding the black box is the prerequisite for success.

Damn, find a fart.

It's better to arrest the fat steward, drag him to a place where no one is around, and beat him to death, because he doesn't believe he can't beat the black box.

Chu Shici rolled up his sleeves and anxiously looked at the background data.

The vitality value is stuck at 78 points, and it is inconvenient for him to do anything without a human body.

Time passed by, and when it reached five o'clock, Chu Shici and the system both held their breath.

The room was still the same dark and small room, quiet and unchanged.

Chu Shici stared blankly.

It shouldn't be like this, what went wrong?

In fact, the system didn't understand what the host was saying before, and it didn't wait for the result, so it jumped into his arms and asked curiously, [What changes do you think the room should have? 】

'My idea is very simple, that is, there are indications that this world does not have the conditions for Brother Zhe to lose his memory.However, Brother Zhe, Sister Qiu and the others experienced confusion in memory. '

【ah?Do not have? 】

'The first world was able to have clones and a bunch of crap because immortality technology took control of the royal family.Without constraints, they can develop freely without considering human rights and social stability. '

'The planet in the third world has long been invaded by aliens.The aliens want to better enslave human beings, so the phenomenon of amnesia of transformed people appears. '

'And the novel world we are in now has neither political turmoil nor doomsday, so it can be regarded as a peaceful country.How could a peaceful and stable country allow someone under the rule to make things that modify the memory of living people? '

It can also be heard from the recordings and news that the goal of the phantom life is to make a lot of money, not to dominate the world.It was an accident that they would have a Dataman. '

'The country is strictly controlled, and the research and development team of the holographic cabin has no other thoughts.Then sister Qiu and brother Zhe, why did they have a situation similar to amnesia? '

The system silently sent a question mark.

Chu Shici poked the little ball of light, 'Because this is a virtual world, think outside the box, don't take it as reality.Brother, do you still remember the monster room on the tenth floor? '

[Remember, but...]

'Before the fat steward took Brother Zhe to the first floor, the door opened when the elevator passed by the tenth floor.Didn't I tell you later that I saw the scene on the tenth floor? '

'All kinds of monsters are constantly being generated inside, and auditoriums and various things for gladiators gradually emerge in the originally empty space.That screen is particularly like, the game scene is loading. '

'They can build a virtual prison site based on the real environment.A facility to generate monster rooms according to the audience's preferences.Things in this virtual prison are not static. '

'As long as they need it, they can add new environment settings to each room through external means. '

Chu Shici looked around, but he still firmly believed that his thoughts were correct.

There must be other reasons why the scene in Room No. [-] has not changed.

'It's a completely enclosed environment, and the chickens don't see sunlight all day long.Being kept in a dark and closed room for a long time, no matter how strong the will is, there will be mental problems.The room was well soundproofed, and the victim could neither see nor hear outsiders.Having hallucinations and being driven crazy is only a matter of time. '

'The only living people in the prison, except the staff, are chickens.The chickens are going to be sold to the boss to make a lot of money, how could the prison make them crazy.They are sure to give merchandise, a chance to relax the mind on a regular basis. '

'And what the customers want is a chicken that has been tuned to their liking. '

'In the cognition of Sister Qiu and Teacher Hao, they were only imprisoned and not trained.And when I was with Brother Zhe, I didn't see anyone training Brother Zhe. '

'The protagonist's adoptive father hopes that he will undergo a qualitative change and put all his thoughts on painting.Just shutting him up to paint does not count as meeting the requirements set by his adoptive father. '

'It's been four cycles, and the prison must have trained those chickens, but the chickens haven't realized it yet. '

'They were plotted against and secretly stuffed into the holographic cabin.So chickens don't know that this is a virtual world, they think they are in reality. '

'The flow of time in the virtual world is different from that of the outside world, and the scenes and settings in the room can also be manipulated from the outside.Just make changes to the room settings while the chicken is unconscious.Those chickens who are already mentally unstable will be led by the nose by the prison. '

His gaze swept across the entire room, and finally settled on Shen Chengan.

Chu Shici narrowed his eyes, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

'I know why this No. [-] room has not changed, because Shen Chengan and Brother Zhe switched rooms.Shen Chengan is a data man, not a chicken.No training is needed, and no one cares whether he will be driven crazy. '

'Brother Zhe in his heyday could easily break through the prison defenses and collect all the evidence.The fat steward regards him as a threat, and will definitely try to prevent Brother Zhe from returning to normal. '

'After the cycle starts, Brother Zhe will be locked in the virtual world specially set by the prison just like other chickens.Being led step by step to regard the pain he had suffered as an illusion and a nightmare. '

Chu Shici's white fingertips casually rubbed his light golden hair.

Shen Chengan was threatened by the fat steward, and he lied in the recording.I suspect that only data people need to follow the prison plot, and real people don't. Brother Zhe may have been locked up on the fifth floor now. '

'This is a good opportunity. Brother Zhe's vitality value may rise to 80 points. '

----

When Shen Xiuzhe regained consciousness, he felt dizzy and tired.

This happens when you sleep too much.

He covered his forehead with one hand and looked around vigilantly.

What caught my eye was a black and white minimalist bedroom. The windows of the room were open, and the curtains were constantly shaking by the wind, sweeping across the easel by the window.There is a faint fragrance of flowers floating from the window, with some spring flavor.

Shen Xiuzhe sat up, a trace of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

This is his home?

Looking at the familiar environment, Shen Xiuzhe was feeling puzzled, when he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly raised his hand to touch his eyes.

Why did the eyes that were gouged out come back?

The room had a private bathroom, so he got out of bed and walked in quickly.

The man's face was reflected in the mirror. His skin was pale, but he was extremely handsome.He stared blankly at the mirror, his dark brown to black eyes filled with puzzlement.

Shen Xiuzhe didn't understand what was going on now, it was different from what he expected.

According to their expectations, after the cycle starts, two phenomena should appear.

In the first one, he loses consciousness and the person disappears temporarily.When the main plot progresses to his appearance, he will appear in the room on the fifth floor.

The second type, he will not be affected by the main plot, and he will be locked in the room on the fifth floor directly after waking up.

Either way, what he faced when he woke up was a cold and dark prison cell.

Shen Xiuzhe stayed in front of the mirror for a while, and the joy of seeing the light again was quickly diluted.

Ah Ci is not here, he is still held in the arms of another man.

He needs to figure out the situation quickly so that he can go back to find his Aci.

Shen Xiuzhe frowned, changed his clothes and walked out of the room.

The two maids were chatting in the corridor, and immediately bowed their heads to say hello when they saw him come out.

Shen Xiuzhe looked them up and down, they were indeed servants in his villa.

Seeing that he hadn't left, one of the maids raised her head and asked, "Master, please tell me."

Shen Xiuzhe pursed his lips, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "You guys... where is this?"

"This is the young master's villa."

"Master, I don't understand what you mean, what do you want to ask?"

Seeing the blank expression on the maid's face, Shen Xiuzhe motioned them to leave first.

He went downstairs, the chef was cooking, and the adoptive father was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor watching the computer, and he nodded casually when he saw him coming.

Shen Xiuzhe knew that it was his adoptive father who sent him to prison twice.He sat down opposite and looked at his adoptive father expressionlessly, "Where is this?"

The adoptive father looked at him suspiciously: "Family, what's the matter."

Shen Xiuzhe observed his expression, "Who are you?"

The adoptive father closed the notebook, "Why are you crazy?"

Shen Xiuzhe didn't say anything.

He pulled out the fruit knife from the fruit plate, stepped forward and pressed his adoptive father on the sofa.The sharp blade pressed against the man's neck, and he leaned over and asked in a cold voice, "I don't care what tricks you guys are playing, just let me out."

The adoptive father's face darkened, "Shen Xiuzhe! What are you going crazy about!"

Shen Xiuzhe was about to speak when suddenly there was a scream behind him.

When he looked back, several maids looked terrified, and the things in their hands fell to the ground.

The older one boldly stepped forward, "If you have any conflicts between the young master and the master, you can sit down and discuss it. The knife is too dangerous, the young master put it down quickly."

Hearing the noise, the chef in the kitchen and the bodyguards outside all walked in to watch.

The wrist was grabbed by the adoptive father, and the man's angry voice was heard, "I still want to continue to embarrass myself!"

Shen Xiuzhe was silent for a long time, and slowly put down the knife.

The bodyguard, who was already ready to move, immediately rushed forward and snatched the fruit knife.

Shen Xiuzhe glared at the bodyguard, but the bodyguard didn't dare to come up and arrest him.

The adoptive father straightened his clothes and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

"Xiu Zhe, what happened to you just now?"

Surrounded by a group of people, Shen Xiuzhe pursed his lips tightly, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the adoptive father picked up his cell phone and made a call.

After a while, a psychiatrist came to the villa and examined Shen Xiuzhe.

After the examination was over, the doctor shook his head, "Mr. Shen Xiuzhe is in a stable mental state."

The adoptive father told what happened just now, and the doctor looked at Shen Xiuzhe with complicated eyes, as if wondering if he was greedy for the Shen family's property.

The adoptive father ignored Shen Xiuzhe. He seemed to be very busy today, and he went to the company for a meeting soon.Before leaving, let the bodyguards keep an eye on this damn thing.

Shen Xiuzhe turned the villa to one side, but found nothing unusual.

He clearly remembered that he was supposed to be in the virtual prison, which must have been a set up for him by the prison.

Shen Xiuzhe put on his coat and left the villa with the bodyguards.

The street was full of traffic and people, he opened the car window, and several passers-by passed by.

The man looked at his car enviously, and the woman secretly stared at his face.Someone recognized him and immediately came up for his autograph.

While signing, Shen Xiuzhe asked, "Where is this?"

The man was his fan, and he stammered: "No. [-], No. [-] Commercial Street."

"Who are you."

"My name is Zhang, Zhang Yu."

It's a very common name, if you go to a crowded place and call it, you can basically call out Zhang Yu.

A man is very happy to talk to his idol.Blushing and looking for something to say, she pulled Shen Xiuzhe to chat.

After chatting with him for a while, Shen Xiuzhe asked him how much he knew about the holographic cabin and the new entertainment prison.

The man looked blank, not understanding what he was talking about.

Shen Xiuzhe wandered outside for a day, and the more he walked, the more confused he became.

He checked information on the Internet, but couldn't find any news about the moral law, the new entertainment prison, and the holographic cabin.

Time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened.

When Shen Xiuzhe returned home, he was scolded by his adoptive father while eating, everything was exactly the same as where he used to live.

At night he lay in bed, staring at the ceiling in a trance.

This must be a trap, but what went wrong.

Is he trapped somewhere and how can he get out?

----

Early the next morning, Shen Xiuzhe was scolded by his adoptive father, and only then did he realize that he was still in college, so he decided to leave school to have a look.

As soon as the car drove to the parking lot near the dormitory building, the senior came over upon hearing the sound.

Shen Xiuzhe felt nauseated when he saw him.

The senior reached out to hug him, but he dodged sideways.

Being left out by him, the senior was a little embarrassed, and began to find nothing to say.Stick behind him and tell him what happened at school recently.Which girl was named the school belle, which boy was caught cheating.

Shen Xiuzhe went to class for a day, and there was always a person talking to him in a rambling manner.

After the last class, the senior invited him to watch a movie together.

This person is the most active, and Shen Xiuzhe wants to get some clues from him.I suppressed my nausea and followed him.

When I arrived at the cinema, I found out that it was a VIP double room.There were just the two of them in the room, and the seat was a loveseat with no divider.

As soon as Shen Xiuzhe sat down, the senior wanted to hug him in his arms.

Sprinkled popcorn on him, took the opportunity to apologize and wanted to touch his chest.Secretly exchanged Coke, intending to kiss him indirectly.

Shen Xiuzhe was too busy avoiding him to watch movies at all.

When the senior secretly reached out to touch his thigh under the cover of the popcorn bucket, Shen Xiuzhe couldn't help it.

He grabbed the senior by the collar, and in the cheerful bgm of the movie, he pressed the senior on the sofa and beat him up.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the adoptive father went to the police station with a dark face to find someone.

Reporters surrounded the police station, the microphone almost hit his face.

The next day's news headlines were all about 'a well-known artist beat a man into a coma late at night. '

As the days passed, Shen Xiuzhe was looking for abnormalities in his life every day, but he couldn't find anything.

He contacted sister Qiu, and that courtesan had never seen him before.Teacher Hao is still teaching at school, and Xiao Jinzi is very close to her rich second-generation boyfriend.

In the end, he even found Brother Liu, the fat steward, through his connections.

Brother Liu is an honest restaurant owner. When he saw a big man coming to the restaurant, he specially invited him to eat the restaurant's signature dishes.I hope he eats well and can advertise their store.

Another morning, Shen Xiuzhe was lying on the bed doubting his life.

He checked the calendar with his mobile phone, it had been two months.

Life is peaceful and comfortable, everything is normal.It was as if what happened in prison was just a dream he had.

Shen Xiuzhe has no friends, he doesn't know who to tell the secret to.

After hesitating again and again, Shen Xiuzhe asked sister Qiu out privately.I hope this smart and keen woman can bring him some surprises.

After listening to Shen Xiuzhe's description of prison life, Sister Qiu was at a loss for words.After a while, he was introduced to a psychiatrist.

The expression on her face did not seem to be fake, and the little flame in Shen Xiuzhe's heart was completely extinguished.

He didn't see a psychiatrist, let alone tell those people about these things.He firmly believes that since he is not sick, there must be something wrong with the world.

Because he has been nagging recently, his adoptive father decided to take him on a trip to relax and paint better.

Shen Xiuzhe was thrown to an island country by his adoptive father.

Lying on the beach, he was ecstatically looking at the blue sky.

A few foreigners passed by, their blond hair was spotted from the corner of the eye, and Shen Xiuzhe shook his head.

When he turned his head to look at the sky again, the clouds in the sky seemed to have turned into the appearance of Ah Ci.

It has been a year since he left prison.He still firmly believes that everything he experienced in the prison is true.

If those were a dream, it meant that Aci didn't exist either.

Shen Xiuzhe couldn't accept this fact.

He would rather be blind, guard his little speaker, and spend his life in prison.

I don't want to be tortured to death by loneliness in a seemingly beautiful world.

Shen Xiuzhe raised his arms to cover his eyes.

He missed his speech.

----

Chu Shici was simply put together by Shen Chengan with glue.Put it on a table and pretend it's a keepsake.

A week after the start of the new cycle, staff came online one after another, and the prison resumed operations.

Shen Chengan, who was locked in the third room, also got in touch with the note man again.

Sometimes they would secretly talk to Shen Chengan by taking the opportunity of delivering meals, and sometimes they would pass small notes.

In Shen Chengan's perception, the small speaker had already died into a specimen, so he didn't carry his back when he spoke.

Chu Shici peeked into all their big secrets.

The note man told Dr. Sun about the fat steward's mutiny.

Now they have taken precautions against the fat steward, but after investigation by Dr. Sun, he found that the fat steward was not at his home in real life.

The organization is still investigating his whereabouts.

During this time, they searched all the places where black boxes might be hidden three or four times.Nearly a blanket search of the prison and the loss of several insiders.

Those people's whereabouts were exposed and they were shot dead by the prison.After leaving the holographic cabin after death, he has not passed the psychological test and cannot return to the prison for the time being.

Dr. Sun and the note man suspect that the black box may have been secretly taken out of the virtual prison by the fat steward.

The problem now is that no one knows where the fat steward is hiding in the real world.

They haven't discovered that Shen Chengan is the data person, so they will tell him any clues.

The more Chu Shici observed, the more he felt that Shen Chengan really spared his life.

Almost every time he delivered a message, he would tell those people, "My data man has helped me a lot, and after it is done, he must be rescued." '

Looking at the familiar face in front of him and hearing the familiar voice, Chu Shici lowered his head and wiped his tears.

He misses Brother Zhe.

The long-distance relationship can at least make a phone call, but it's an extravagance for them to even say a word.

As the main plot of the prison progressed, the first victim in the third room opposite, the unlucky lawyer, was sent to the monster room again.

Chu Shici was a little anxious.

The death of the lawyer represents the upcoming appearance of Police Officer Li.That policeman has a sense of justice and good skills.

Although it is a data person generated based on memory, it is much more dull than a data person like Shen Chengan.But Police Officer Li has a precedent of hijacking the fat steward and trying to escape with Brother Zhe.

Chu Shici felt that he could win him over.

It's just that Brother Zhe's vitality value is still stuck at 78, so he can't turn into a human.Shen Chengan also had no intention of saving Officer Li, and continued to follow the original plan.

When he heard Officer Li's roar coming from the corridor, Chu Shici decided to act recklessly.

He wants to join forces with Shen Chengan to save Police Officer Li and recruit some people for Brother Zhe.

----

Snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and Shen Xiuzhe stood by the window, quietly drawing the snow scene.

It's been two years and he can't find any clues.

The adoptive father locked him in the villa again, trying to cut him off from the outside world.

The current Shen Xiuzhe is no longer that simple student.

He still has a way to get news from the outside world, but he still hasn't heard a little bit about infotainment prisons and moral values.

No matter how real the world in front of him is, Shen Xiuzhe firmly believes it is fake.

Even if the psychiatrist said that he was under too much pressure and had hallucinations, he was like a stubborn donkey, and he didn't believe anyone's words.

In the memo, Shen Xiuzhe recorded every detail of his relationship with the small speaker.

In order to prevent the contents of the memorandum from leaking out, it would bring danger to Ah Ci.He himself used numbers and letters to make up a proprietary code.

After Shen Xiuzhe finished drawing, he took out his mobile phone and continued to write the memo.

He was always worried that if he finished writing, the story between him and A Ci would end.So I can't wait to break one thing into ten parts to write.

The adoptive father asked someone to come up and call him to eat, but Shen Xiuzhe closed the door and told him to get out.Then he locked the door and covered his head with a quilt.

In two years, he wrote down everything he could remember.

Today is the last point, after Shen Xiuzhe finished tidying up, tears instantly blurred his vision.He hugged the stand-in speaker he bought, pretending it was his Aci.

He pursed his lips and looked through the memo with a cold face, recalling every detail of him and A Ci.

After reading it, Shen Xiuzhe suddenly felt something was wrong.He read the memo carefully from the beginning several times.

This was the first time in Shen Xiuzhe's life that he stayed up all night.

Early the next morning, he poked his head out from under the quilt and looked at his phone with a gloomy expression.

Combine your own experience during this period with the clues on the memo.

Shen Xiuzhe can be sure that the world he is in now is a fiction.

He had figured out what was going on.

Since he appeared in this place inexplicably, he seems to be living the same life as before, but in fact, many details have changed.

He is isolated from the world.

In the original trajectory, although he had no friends at school, he had many younger brothers.Those people were overwhelmed by his talent and volunteered to become his followers.

Basically every few days, someone would confess his love to him.That person's suitor, come and fight him again.

But this time there was nothing, no one approached him, and he couldn't afford to develop his own network.

And no matter where Shen Xiuzhe went, he would meet fans.

While those fans care about his autograph, they will ask him about his progress and express their anticipation for his painting.He said he was resting, and those people would look at him with disappointment, condemnation and even disgust.

It seems that only when he comes up with new paintings will anyone pay attention to him.He has to keep painting so that he will not be abandoned by the world.

The world tried to brainwash him through the environment.

Let Shen Xiuzhe believe that the only value of his life is to keep producing better works.Once he stops drawing, his existence will be meaningless.

This is the first step of the prison's training for chickens.

----

Shen Xiuzhe remembered that the small speaker told him that when the live broadcast started, the originally empty tenth floor would gradually become a monster room.

This shows that the prison can manipulate the scene of the virtual world.

They usually don't use these, it may be costly and labor-intensive to modify the scene, and they will only use them when necessary.

In this case, other rooms in the prison may also be modified.

This is a virtual prison, and they can modify the room to look whatever they want.

A simple cell, an arena, a villa, or even a world.

But it takes longer and costs more.

Shen Xiuzhe felt that he should be locked in a room on the fifth floor right now.

The virtual world he constructed in prison took nearly three years.But in reality, it may have only been a few days.

Shen Xiuzhe is a chicken sent to prison by his adoptive father, who hopes to train him into a painting machine.

The first step in training him in prison is to distort his cognition.

Shen Xiuzhe has been imprisoned for a long time. It stands to reason that he should be extremely eager for freedom, hoping to return to the crowd and get the attention of other people.

The cycle started, and he returned to the beautiful 'real world' from the cold prison as soon as he opened his eyes.Everyone around is saying that this is true.Keep telling him life in prison is just a nightmare.

Create good memories for him, make him rely on the "real world" in his heart, and gradually immerse himself in the beautiful trap established by the prison.

Quietly inculcating the misconception that painting is the only value of his life.

There is no need to do anything next, just keep him in this environment.When the prison feels that the time is right, the room will be returned to a dark cell.

The chicken who was brainwashed at that time only felt that when he closed and opened his eyes, he entered a prison in a nightmare.

They have stayed in the 'real world' for too long, and they have been given various hints. The encounters in the nightmare have long been blurred, and the serious ones will be completely forgotten.

Chickens don't know that they are in a virtual world, and they don't doubt that their previous life was carefully arranged by others.

When they were panicked and helpless, the prison made threats of intimidation.

When the customer wants to pick up the goods, the prison will get the chicken out.

There are a lot of chickens here, all brought in by close people, just like Shen Xiuzhe.

The chicken, who was imprisoned until he was exhausted physically and mentally, finally met the people he knew.In order to protect themselves, they will instinctively please those people, hoping to be rescued.

And their behaviors driven by instinct are the result of continuous cultivation through the virtual world constructed by the prison.

It is also a finished product that meets the wishes of customers.

It's a pity that this time the prison plan fell through.

The environment they constructed had no effect on Shen Xiuzhe.

He doesn't need other people's concern, and he doesn't care whether he will be abandoned by the world.All he cares about is his little speakers.

Seeing through the truth, the world in front of me suddenly becomes boring.

Shen Xiuzhe didn't know when the broken ground made by the prison would end, and it might take a few more years.

He decided to find something to do for himself.

The people in this world are very real, and some real-person data should be imported when generating it.

Shen Xiuzhe began to secretly observe Brother Liu.

Brother Liu here looks ordinary, without any special features.

Shen Xiuzhe wanted to get a rough idea of ​​Brother Liu's way of thinking through his behavior.

According to this data person generated with reference to Brother Liu, he can infer the brain circuit of the real Brother Liu, and if he is not sure, he can guess where he will hide the black box.

After Shen Xiuzhe investigated Brother Liu for a while, he discovered a little secret of him.

If this data man was really made with reference to Brother Liu, then Shen Xiuzhe felt that he seemed to know where Brother Liu would hide things.

----

Officer Li has been living in Room 78 for several days, and Brother Zhe's vitality is still stuck at [-] points.

Chu Shici knew he couldn't wait any longer, he couldn't change his human form, and he couldn't keep Officer Li.

The only way right now is to have a showdown with Shen Chengan.

Today is Sunday, Shen Chengan had just had dinner and was wandering around the house.

It seemed that the rice for dinner was too hard, and he felt uncomfortable after eating it.

Chu Shici carefully considered his words, and when the man passed by the table, he took the initiative to say, "Shen Chengan."

Shen Chengan's footsteps stopped instantly, "Student A Ci?"

"it's me."

"you are still alive?"

Chu Shici didn't answer his words, "I have something to talk to you about."

Shen Chengan didn't listen to him at all.

He reached out and touched the broken speaker carefully, and interrupted Chu Shici: "Since it's fine, why didn't you talk to me before."

"...I fell into a deep sleep and just woke up."

Chu Shici was about to continue talking when he suddenly heard a system prompt.

[Add 3 points to the vitality value, and the current vitality value is 81/100. 】

Chu Shici: ...

It's over, it's too late.
