Virtual Superstar Breeding Diary

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Xiao Chi hurriedly turned off the computer, looked around and couldn't find a place to hide, so he had to draw the curtains and wrap himself in the corner again.

With a soft sound, Ji Chenxuan pushed the door open and entered.

Turn on the indoor light, and there is a stack of documents needed for tomorrow's meeting on the desk. When he left just now, his thoughts were lost and he forgot. He went back to the bathroom and took a cold shower to cool down his troubled brain.

The temperature dropped, but at the same time dispelled all drowsiness.The clock passed five o'clock in the morning, and it was time to go to the company in two hours.

Ji Chenxuan lit a cigarette and sat down on the single sofa.

The floor lamp only illuminated a small area, half of his face was hidden in the backlight, behind the gray smoke.

In just one day and night, the originally handsome and handsome face became emaciated, the eye sockets were deeply sunken, and under the drooping eyelashes, there were two blue and black shadows.

Xiao Chi glanced at Ji Chenxuan secretly through the thin yarn of the curtains, even from such a long distance, even a silhouette in a limited field of vision, the gloomy aura was clearly conveyed.

The back of his neck was painful and itchy. He wanted to scratch it, but he was afraid that the other party would be aware of his existence.

Is he thinking about his "Xiao Chi"?That virtual idol became real "Xiao Chi"?

Xiao Chi couldn't help being a little envious of that person, even if it was just a virtual AI, he was loved like this.

A cigarette burned to the end, Ji Chenxuan sat alone for a while, got up from the sofa, Xiao Chi quickly held his breath, followed him with his eyes, Ji Chenxuan walked to the door, and suddenly turned around——

Oops, he found me? !

Xiao Chi tensed his scalp, with both hands hanging by his sides, he didn't know whether to make a fist or relax, but luckily the other party just went back to the desk and picked up the folder.

Before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, Ji Chenxuan's hand holding the document accidentally touched the computer, and suddenly stopped - he had obviously shut down the computer for a long time, why is it still warm?

"A thief came in?!" Ji Chenxuan's face changed slightly, "Why didn't Anna call the police?"

The light in the study room was adjusted to the maximum, he scanned the surrounding vigilantly, and finally walked towards the corner where Xiao Chi was hiding.

was discovered—

Xiao Chi's heart was pounding nervously, before the other party could make a move, he lifted the curtain, and the two of them were exposed to the other party's eyes at the same time!

"Xiao Chi!" After being shocked, Ji Chenxuan was filled with ecstasy, and couldn't help but go forward to grab his hand.

Xiao Chi retreated subconsciously, his back hit the floor-to-ceiling window, and Ji Chenxuan blocked the corner with his hands.

"You're back? You're finally back!" Ji Chenxuan's voice trembled, and he stared at him for an instant, for fear that he would disappear from his eyes in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Chi moved his lips, looking back at him with mixed feelings: "I, I am not the Xiao Chi you expected."

"..." A basin of cold water was poured over his head, and the surprise faded from his eyes. Ji Chenxuan looked at him in silence for a while, and said in a hoarse voice, "Then who are you? The son of that mad professor who has been dead for many years? "

Xiao Chi frowned, opened his mouth to refute, but found that he didn't know which point to refute, and after a long time, he said silently: "Maybe."

Ji Chenxuan calmed down and stared closely at his pupils: "You actually heard the conversation between me and him, right?"

Xiao Chi lowered his head, pinching the corner of his clothes anxiously: "...I heard a little bit."

"Then why are you still at his mercy? Don't you understand? He is using you as a test subject, and you are just a false memory he implanted!" Ji Chenxuan suddenly raised his voice: "Or , do you think you have been resurrected from this body?"

Xiao Chi shook his head in confusion:

"I don't know. My memory is very messy and fuzzy. It's getting more and more blurry now. I don't know who to trust, or even who I am. Am I a 'person'? Or really? As you said, I am just a memory, which is artificially stubbornly locked in this shell... The memories after the car accident are all other people's, or they are all fabricated... I am not a star, I am nothing, I am just A, dead person..."

Ji Chenxuan was silent, and tentatively said: "Don't go back to that lunatic Xiao Rui, I have contacted some authoritative professors, they may..."

"You want to 'kill' me, right?" Xiao Chi said suddenly, "You want to move my memory out and release your 'Xiao Chi', right?"

Ji Chenxuan stared at him: "You have been dead for many years, how can I 'kill' you again?"

Xiao Chi bit his lip and shook his head in a daze. His face was pale, and he smiled weakly: "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. I can feel...he is here."

He pointed to his brain: "He's inside, he wants to come out, he's in pain..."

His hand moved to his left chest again, where it was beating abnormally.

Ji Chenxuan closed his eyes deeply, suffocating his breath, and his heart was throbbing with pain. He suddenly felt hatred, hating the professor who caused all these tragedies, hating the "ghost" occupying Xiao Chi's body, and hating him even more. Self, powerless in the face of the predicament in front of you!

"It's dawn." Xiao Chi suddenly turned his head and looked out the window, the eastern sky had already lit up with a line of gray, and the light began to spread, gradually dispelling the darkness of dawn.

Ji Chenxuan frowned and looked at him: "Are you going back to find that lunatic? Let him make up another false memory for you, turning you into his imaginary son? Live like a self-deception?"

Xiao Chi touched the scorching back of his neck, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, I will return your 'Xiao Chi' to you, but before that, I have one last wish, can you help me? ?”

Ji Chenxuan asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"I want to finish the filming of "Inner Demon", and the last part is about to be finished. It should have a beginning and an end." Xiao Chi turned his head and stared at him, showing a shy smile, "This is my last wish. If there is one last thing in this world that can prove my existence, at least in this movie, I have been there."

Even if, just as a "heart demon".

In the thin clouds, the sunlight in midsummer scorches every inch of land persistently.

The oncoming heat wave roared silently in the air, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a scorching silence.

Ji Chenxuan drove and took Xiao Chi to the studio, the two of them were silent all the way.

From the corner of his eye, he watched Xiao Chi from the rearview mirror, the latter just stared blankly at the passing scenery outside the car window, like a bird in a cage.

In the studio, the working team arrived early, and when they saw Xiao Chi, they came forward to say hello and congratulate him on winning the Best Newcomer Award at the Baiming Film Festival.

Xiao Chi just smiled politely, he knew that the award was not his.

"Today, there are still the last few shots to wrap up. Don't relax after winning the award!" The director came behind him and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

Xiao Chi nodded vigorously: "Okay."

Parking pad.

Ji Chenxuan sat in the car and didn't leave immediately. He called Zhou Tong a few times and canceled most of today's itinerary, only keeping an appointment with the CEO of the AI ​​company.

He called Liu Bing over again and looked at Xiao Chi for him.

"President Ji, what's the matter with Xiao Chen? I haven't been able to reach him on the phone these days, so I thought something happened." Liu Bing drove a white land vehicle and slowly parked in the parking space, with the corners of his eyes hanging , looking suspiciously at Ji Chenxuan.

The latter's face was solemn, which made him feel a bad premonition in vain.

"It's nothing." Ji Chenxuan didn't intend to tell him too many secrets, "You stay here with him, and when his drama is finished, I still have things to do, so I'll come back later."

Liu Bing watched the black flying car disappear into the sky after taking off, and muttered to himself: "I am overthinking? I always feel that something is weird..."

The filming on the last day was particularly smooth, as if there was an inexplicable aura fit.

The male protagonist played by Xiao Chi is lying in the sea of ​​sunflowers, smiling, closing his eyes forever, the demon is dead, and his soul has gained eternal life.

The director watched the overhead camera rotate and zoom up on the monitor, held his breath, and let out a loud "Cut!", the camera was frozen at the most beautiful scene, and several staff surrounded the camera, chatting and laughing loudly .

There were chaotic voices from all around, Xiao Chi slowly opened his eyes, the background light slanted on his face, and he lost his mind for a moment.

It's all over, the play is over, "The Demon of Heart" has finished, and this psychedelic and false resurrection dream has also come to an end...

"Today's condition is good. It's different from the previous period. It fits the temperament of today's show!" The director rubbed his chin, full of praise for Xiao Chi's exceptional performance today.

Xiao Chi smiled reservedly: "Thank you."

Seeing him packing up his things and preparing to leave, the director was a little surprised: "I'm leaving now, there will be a wrap-up banquet tonight!"

"Sorry, I still have important things to do now."

Seeing Xiao Chi's insistence, the rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, quite disappointed, but no one said anything.

Ji Chenxuan had already been waiting in the driver's seat, Liu Bing thought that the two of them were going out on a date again, pouted sourly, and walked away wisely.

※※※

Putting on the seat belt, Ji Chenxuan glanced at him quietly: "Are you really going back to find that lunatic professor?"

"Father won't stay in this exposed place for a long time, it's just that the laboratory is not convenient for quick transfer." Xiao Chi nodded silently: "I have to make a decision. But, you'd better not go with me, father's artificial Intelligence is powerful, I cannot guarantee your safety."

Ji Chenxuan was a little surprised, and frowned: "I'll call in the bodyguards."

Xiao Chi sighed, and turned his gaze out of the window.

The car started quickly, the rear wing unfolded silently, the car body drew a wild goose-like trajectory in the sky, passed countless high-rise buildings, and landed near the small apartment at the end of the dusk.

"What are you going to do?" The security vehicles have followed and scattered around, Ji Chenxuan always felt a little uneasy, "Can you really resist him? Will he have other means to control you?"

Xiao Chi's answer was somewhat irrelevant: "Once you have your own will, even if it is an AI, it will no longer be controlled by anyone."

He pushed open the car door and walked towards the dark corridor step by step.

The two stood still at the door, and the gray-white metal door opened silently, as if some kind of wild beast showed its sharp white teeth, waiting for the prey to come automatically...
