Sesame paste little actors have no freedom!

There's really nothing to show for it.Liang Xing smirked at Ren Xing.The smirk is probably his best performance.

In an ambitious and passionate rendition, he buys himself a moment of freedom before claiming to be heading home to pack his bags.

When leaving the entertainment company, it happened to be raining outside, so Liang Xing stood under the gloomy dark clouds with a transparent umbrella.He looked at the strange-shaped building made of gray concrete and tempered glass in front of him. The unmoving building seemed to make a long and sharp ethereal sound, but humans could not hear it, probably an illusion.The rain drenched the walls, and the glass windows were covered with water droplets. At that time, Liang Xing felt that he was looking at a huge silent tombstone.He just looked at the company's building, staring at the non-flickering "Shentan Entertainment Company" font advertising light, and fell silent.

Maybe it was because the umbrella was too cheap and it leaked.When he wiped the rain off his face, he even had the illusion of being covered with a human skin mask, which made him feel instinctively disgusted.But as an actor, a sharp and silent joy cut his flesh and pierced into the bottom of his heart.

Liang Xing turned his head and left the building.Only then did he really complete the first act.

In the real city, in the autumn of 20X9, people on the road are half-living and half-office using the AR system. Everyone seldom has real vacations, and being busy is inevitable.As for Liang Xing, it's hard to say.It can be said that he fished out from the boss of the company to do other "part-time jobs".

The Internet is too involved in life, and almost no one can disconnect from the information network.Gradually, the spiritual space of life, work, entertainment, and leisure has all been transferred to the Internet, and the value of a person's reputation and influence also depend on his appearance on the Internet.

Plutocrats compete in the capital market, because policies cannot penetrate the political situation, their mouthpieces are nothing more than online media and individual celebrities, and the entertainment industry—a field that merges the entertainment industry and the idol economy in the new era—is the puppet stage of the capital plutocrats.The "Shentan Entertainment Company" where Liang Xing works is a spiritual idol processing factory under the Dongfeng chaebol.

The spiritual needs of the people have become stronger, and they almost treat artists under the public eye with "fanaticism of religious belief".What they want is not only actors, singers, dancers, and anchors with only a single skill... The huge pressure of life forces them to find a wonderful outlet, so they passively push one by one illusory idols to the altar .That's what the audience needs, is willing to pay for it, and can get spiritual comfort from it-chasing stars.

However, from the perspective of entertainment companies, their job is not only to cultivate artists, but to create gods.The illusory idol character is the god of commercial profit, but after all, the god cannot use the human body as a carrier. The glory cycle of top artists is getting shorter and shorter. The huge pressure in the industry consumes not only the artist's own health, but also human nature.More and more deaths, more and more mental illnesses, destabilizing society.In order to balance the dark side in the circle and expose the influence of the public, the capital chaebol created the dark side of the company, which is an underground company called "Purgatory". They have independent public opinion processing departments and methods, and isolate government personnel. (especially the National Electronic Information Security Bureau).

So is the National Electronic Information Security Bureau really letting the capital chaebols build their own stage to play puppets and ignore it?

of course not.Previously, the Security Bureau had contacted the private media and asked agents to intervene in this circle by means of reporters, paparazzi, and even illegitimate meals. However, all of those agents died unexpectedly, and none survived.The security bureau recovered the body of the agent, and after professional inspection, an abnormal virus was found.Moreover, they found that outsiders could not obtain the artist's body, because the contract signed by the artist stipulated that the entertainment company would be authorized to dispose of the body after the artist died.Therefore, the Security Bureau suspects that there may be secret human experiments in the entertainment company, and the abnormal virus is a by-product.

That's why Liang Xing was able to enter Shentan Entertainment Company as an "artist" and become an idol trainee.

The maglev bus crossed the road, and the shadows on Liang Xing's face changed. The original dark side became much brighter because the car left, but his expression lost its three-dimensional innocence under the frontal light.

Liang Xing changed the phone mode, took a taxi, and returned to his "hometown".

The old community located in the old city still retains the old "street and alley" appearance.Liang Xing walked through the alley, and when he reached the entrance of the old building, he could still hear the sounds of nearby homeless people and old people playing mahjong together.On his left, there is a sign covered with moss from the rain: No. 13 Xingfu Street.

He hasn't been back here for a long time, so he turned on his phone and flipped through the old photos.The colorful graffiti wall in the photo has been painted white, and cracks have appeared again.He felt that he had just come out of the photo (memories from ten years ago), like a teenager traveling through the decaying and messy future.Facts are now, reality is now.

His house is on the sixth floor, and a family next to him has moved out.When I took out the key card to open the door, the door lock made an abnormal electric sound.At that time, he thought his home had been broken into by thieves, so he opened the door and saw that the originally closed window had been opened, but the tattered sofa, chair, bench and TV inside were still in good condition.It's so poor that thieves don't take a fancy to it.

The refrigerator was still in operation, and the food in it was basically gone. He found a chocolate energy bar in the crevice of the inner cabinet, which was still ten days away from expiration, so he could eat it.Thinking of this, he immediately bit open the package, took the energy bar in his mouth and slowly licked it.

After closing the door, he plugged in the power cord to the old TV, and ordered a ten-year-old movie on the old network platform - "Void Love".It was a sci-fi love movie starring actor Yin Zhi ten years ago.

Liang Xing liked to watch movies starring Yin Zhi since he was a child, and he learned Yin Zhi's acting style since he was a child.In the film, Yin Zhi, who plays the role of an artificial detective in a trench coat, reads a classic line: "The despair and joy of this world are all interpreted in the drama, because everything, including us, is not real. If this world still exists A real thing, and that is love in nothingness."

While eating the energy bar, he imitated the expression of the old actor, he knew what to do, how to do it...become like Yin Zhi.Because Yin Zhi's movies did enter Liang Xing's life by mistake, after his father lost his job and his mother became mentally disturbed, secretly watching Yin Zhi's movies was the only spiritual relief he could get.He has to pretend he's an actor like Yoon Ji to get out of his hopelessly broken home.

The family's bad luck ended when the father was sentenced to death in prison. Neither he nor the mother wanted to see the man again. Shortly thereafter, the mother committed suicide and passed away.Liang Xing, who became an orphan, accidentally got a teacher's advice to use his talent to enter the intelligence analysis department of the National Electronic Information Security Bureau.The result is stuck in the political review.In desperation, Liang Xing had no choice but to retreat and recommend himself as an intelligence officer.By coincidence, he came to be a young actor in an entertainment company that cannibalize people.

Halfway through the film, an advertisement was suddenly inserted.The advertiser happens to be Dongfeng Group, which operates Shentan Entertainment.

Liang Xing let go of the energy bar, and imitated his idol (former film star Yin Zhi) and said the lines: "The despair and joy of this world are all interpreted in dramas, because everything, including us, is not real."

At that time, he felt bitter and helpless.

Coincidentally, after entering the Security Bureau, he found information about Yin Zhi in the file office.Ten years ago, Yin Zhi had an emotional entanglement with the song king Qi Yuan of the same status. To be precise, it was the emotional entanglement between the two of them and Mr. Dong, the heir of Dongfeng Group.Rumor has it that in order to be with Mr. Dong, the King of Songs announced the sex scandal of the actor, which caused the actor Yin Zhi to fall from the altar and suffer from cyber violence.Later, actor Yin Zhi and singer Qi Yuan both disappeared for no reason.Mr. Dong married a famous lady.

A year ago, the Security Bureau discovered a secret case that could not be disclosed to the public. They found a live body whose eyes, tongue, ears, and limbs had been cut off in a farmhouse. He was called a "meat animal" , the skin and internal organs have been modified, but the brain is well preserved. DNA analysis revealed that this living body was Qi Yuan, the song king of the year.After being arrested, the owner of the hut gritted his teeth and switched on the brain power switch, committing suicide.And the living body of the song king Qi Yuan died within a few days after being rescued.Because only the hut owner knows the correct way to raise live animals.Obviously, this is a kidnapping injury case of a bad nature.

There is a certain possibility that Liang Xing's idol was also persecuted in this way and was hidden in a corner because of the emotional entanglement with the Dong couple.Whether it's for work or to avenge his beloved idol, Liang Xing will dig out the black material of this company and overthrow their lair.

According to the information he currently knows, he cannot be convicted yet.Because Liang Xing only knew about the operation method of the black heart entertainment company, there was no definite evidence.According to the information he had contacted, Ren Xing was at most a face-loving pervert, and he didn't know if it was related to the case of the murder of the movie king and song king, or if it was related to the virus incident.Judging from Miss Gao's fate, the Black Heart Entertainment Company did get involved in secret human experiments, but Liang Xing has not yet grasped the secrets of the virus and the evidence of the experimental results.Liang Xing, there is a long way to go.

Liang Xing was watching a movie while waiting for the courier to come to his door. According to the organization's plan, he would return here to deliver information after successfully infiltrating the company.

In the afternoon, at 14:41, there was a knock on the door.The courier in yellow professional attire delivered a tightly packed corrugated box, which was not big.Liang Xing borrowed the courier's pen to sign for the package.The courier packed up the remaining packages and was about to leave. He didn't know what to express with his stiff and numb expression, maybe he was just frozen by the cold wind.After checking the next address, he saw the consignee, Liang Xing, smiling wryly.

Liang Xing couldn't find a knife or scissors, so he bluntly cut a hole with his nails and opened the package.He said to the courier who was about to leave: "Thank you, brother, for your hard work. Just kidding, I'm more anxious."

The courier was amused by his embarrassing performance, and waved: "It's okay."

The wind blows the broken curtains, the sound of the piano floats in the air, and the on-demand programs are still being shown. The old movies ten years ago are not vulgar and outdated in the current aesthetics.Because it is the work of the actor.

Liang Xing pressed the pause button with the remote control, and then returned to the stool with the secret express from the Security Bureau.He looked inside, and there was a bucket of instant noodles, which were no ordinary instant noodles.

Liang Xing tore open the package, took out the seasoning packet and bread, and looked inside.At first glance, it is empty.But he tapped a "key" on the center of the bucket with his hand, and special patterns appeared on the inner contour of the instant noodle paper bucket.Composed of dots, it is Braille.Before that, Liang Xing didn't know the way of information transmission, but when he saw the braille, he knew how to "translate" it. He didn't even need to look at it, just put his finger in and touch the embossed pattern (braille) to recognize the information.

——The latest news, the electronic virus transmitted between the human body is transmitted through "vision". As long as you touch the virus and activate the virus, visual impairment may occur.If you are infected, what you see may not be real, it may be an illusion brought about by the virus.We also found this virus on the recently recovered corpses. The relevant person speculated through the restoration scene that he seemed to see something when he was working at heights, and then fell down.The hacker who manipulated the virus may have stolen his visual information. We extracted his visual video and found that all the information was destroyed, and the visual video was all blurred.You have to be careful.

Liang Xing closed his eyes and received the superior's message directly through his sense of touch.He broke off a prong of the disposable fork, and used the prong to carve new braille letters on the inside of the instant noodle bucket.

- I suspect I've caught the virus, and now I have visuals of entertainment companies intentionally hurting artists, marketing recklessly, performing illegal body modification surgery, but I'm not sure that's actually working.

The information transmitter, faked as an instant noodle bucket, is connected to the wireless network, and the electronic components inside the bucket transmit the information to the information processing department of the Security Bureau by reading the pressure of the receiving surface.Through the encrypted communicator, the superior quickly replied.

- Check your visual footage.

Liang Xing followed the instructions and took off his eyes—actually, they were prosthetic eye pieces.His eyes have been modified, and there are surveillance records on the prosthetic eye film.But when he checked the visual records of the prosthetic eye, he could only see dense snowflakes on the visual effects virtual screen.That is, records are broken.Either in reality, an information interference device was installed in the company to directly destroy the monitoring function of the prosthetic eye, or Liang Xing himself had a special condition, such as a virus.Just like his dead colleague.

Before Liang Xing had time to explain to his superiors, he saw a miniature green spider jumping off his prosthetic eye.Gao Yang's identity card was transformed to attack him, and he turned into this kind of spider. At that time, something got into his eyes, maybe it was the "egg" of the electronic spider, and now it became this young electronic spider.

He may have suffered an accidental infection.

"Snapped."

Liang Xing trampled to death the spider running from the prosthetic eye with his intuition, and then reported to his superiors.

—I might have a virus, I saw a spider, but that shouldn't be true.

Yes, the green spider trampled to death by Liang Xing turned into a wisp of smoke, leaving nothing behind.Just like the hallucinations caused by Gao Yang's identity card, the hallucinations will induce Liang Xing to have misunderstandings... Maybe those artists who inexplicably commit suicide or die unexpectedly are also like this, they are misled by the virus and have hallucinations... Liang Xing closes his eyes, touches The inside of the instant noodle cup.

Superior: How much information have you obtained by breaking into the interior now?

Liang Xing: I caught a big fish, a perverted behind-the-scenes man who collects faces of entertainers.

Superior: Do you think you can complete the task in your current state?

Liang Xing: Then should we watch our colleagues die one by one?I don't want to see my colleagues die one by one, and I can only go to the toilet to smoke and cry. I want to know what is killing us. It is not enough to stand outside the circle and watch. I just got a chance to go deep inside.

Superior: But you have a virus in your eye.

Liang Xing: Since their crimes are true, and their murders are true, then I will definitely find some evidence to put them to death on the ground of justice.Because we need to give an explanation to the sacrificed person.

Liang Xing entered Braille for the last time, and then crumpled the instant noodle bucket.He went to the bathroom to use tap water to destroy the communication device, then put the seasoning packets and dough cakes into plastic bags along with the garbage, and threw them into the hazardous garbage sorting bin downstairs.
