Chapter 2 The Absolutely Neutral Black Brahma
December 31, 2048 AD
Mo Tan dragged his exhausted body back home and watched dumbly as several men moved a huge rectangle The carton was moved to the living room, and then the hands and feet were busy for half an hour.
During this process, he just sat quietly on his not-so-spacious sofa, watching the employees of this "innocent" company working diligently.
The content of their work is to assemble the first mental simulation product developed by the company - a dedicated game cabin for "Innocent Bound".
After the assembly was completed, Mo Tan politely sent away several sweaty masters, turned around and sat down on the expensive, large-area thing that had made him queue for a long time, and knocked unconsciously with his right hand. Hitting the shiny black hatch shell, a smile of unknown meaning appeared after a while.
It can be seen that Mo Tan is not a normal person. In fact, he is quite abnormal...
MultiplePersonality, that is, patients with multiple personalities are a kind of person no matter in any era. It is a very rare existence with no effective treatment. Moreover, because of the legendary nature of its symptoms, it has been used as a gimmick and selling point in countless movies, novels and other artistic works. Under normal circumstances, it can sell well as long as it is not too bad.
Everyone must have noticed at this point that the 21-year-old Mo Tan is such a patient with multiple personalities. The reason why he can still prepare to log into the latest virtual network on the market at his own home Games, rather than chattering in front of the mirror in some mental hospital, mainly owe their existence to two things.
First: He judged the symptoms by himself. Through a large amount of information and his own situation as a reference, Mo Tan had already been confidently diagnosed when he was thirteen years old.
Second: He is very smart, so even if he suffers from such a special and difficult-to-control disease, Mo Tan still hides it well and is not noticed by anyone. As for how smart he is, you can refer to the previous article.
By the way, the information that Mo Tan consulted was not the basic knowledge that we can search for by just turning on our mobile phones, but something that is controlled by some large medical institutions at home and abroad. In order to understand more in detail, In many cases, he has invaded the police station's shallow database more than once.
Of course, he has not had a single arrest record.
In short, it’s hard to describe in one sentence~
Rather than giving a lengthy introduction here, I prefer to slowly present his situation to you in the subsequent stories, so let’s go back to the story first Zhonglai...
【Want to try another way to live? Here you can feel your truest self! 】
Mo Tan repeated the text on the game hatch that was also the slogan of Innocence in his mind, and couldn't help but smile to himself: "As a mentally ill person who is short of money and doesn't believe in deception, What mentality did I have to buy you back..."
He stood up , moved his body a little, and then murmured: "Then let's start the experiment now. If the official's previous statements are not exaggerated, we will see the results as soon as we get started..."
After that, he opened the He entered the game cabin, but he did not lie down immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and began to take deep breaths.
After a while, Mo Tan's demeanor became gentle and calm, different from his previous temperament that always gave people a sense of unruliness. The degree of change was so great that we could even notice it for the first time... This The boy guessed that he was divided.
In fact, this is also true. Mo Tan's current personality has indeed changed, but this personality is a bit special. It can be said that it is the product of his own failure after giving up self-treatment (correctly), and it is also what he has been doing in most cases over the years. Used - the dominant personality.
Then he lay down in the game cabin, set the sleep time and wake-up time, adjusted the AI's voice to a calm and soothing female voice, and closed his eyes.
......
[Your spiritual connection has been detected and personal information is being synchronized...]
[The realm of innocence has been opened to you, and the character creation process is about to begin. Start...】
After experiencing a short period of light sleep, Mo Tan found himself on a platform carved with countless patterns, surrounded by nothingness. Countless colorful and beautiful patterns flickered in the nothingness, just for a short time. Observing over time, he discovered many familiar stars, vegetation, human outlines, as well as geometric formations, virtual images of alien beasts that he had never seen before...
"Well, the degree of realism is very high." After a little evaluation of the space and his body feeling at this time, Mo Tan whispered to himself: "What I just said was 'the character creation process is about to begin', not 'please create a character', which means that it is as expected." Is it about the same..."
Before he finished speaking, nine light spots of different colors suddenly appeared in the void, followed by a non-harsh whistling sound that became louder and louder. When Mo Tan reacted At that time, a circle of tall gates that looked very majestic appeared around him.
"Huh?" Mo Tan, who didn't hear any system prompts, was stunned for a moment, then looked around and murmured: "Are you asking me to pick one myself? If so, follow What difference does it make if you choose actively? "
The reason why he said this is because he has seen four extremely obvious large characters engraved on each door, which also correspond to the emotions they emit. Different breath...
Without any hesitation, he walked directly to the door closest to him. It was a dark red door, faintly exuding black fog, like the entrance to hell, filled with bones and pools of blood on the left and right, and extremely cool. Door.
"Come on, let me create a character and try it out for 30,000 yuan, and then go offline and return it." Mo Tan murmured as he reached out his hand, only to find that his powerless push actually caused There was a deafening roar, and then...the door collapsed...
It felt like someone who realized that he was desperate, and because he couldn't bear the humiliation, he blew himself up!
"Hey, hey, hey!" Mo Tan looked down at the miserable rubble, and said with twitching corners of his mouth: "That's too much... You don't want me to come in! Just shut yourself up and let me in Isn't it okay if I can't push it away? How can I just explode like this? It’s annoying to attract people!”
Having said that, a smile appeared on his face. The scene just now did not make him feel unhappy or disappointed. On the contrary, if Mo Tan could Pushing open the door with [Chaotic Evil] written on it would disappoint him.
Continuing to move, he came to another black and white door, and was about to reach out...
Boom! !
"Hey..."
Mo Tan rolled his eyes and stared at the door lying on the ground in front of him. He didn't know what to say, because just now this thing suddenly slammed He fell forward and tried to push himself down.
This is a door full of instability, with [Chaotic Neutral] written on it.
"What a characterful camp~" After getting the answer he wanted, Mo Tan swung his arms and walked to a golden door with white patterns, and asked: "I don't think you will open it for me. , isn’t it?”
The door engraved with [Lawful Good] moved back slightly, expressing a subtle but polite rejection of Mo Tan’s ugly... er, polite refusal.
"Okay, I admit that this super personalized DND (Dungeons and Dragons) rules attracted me." Mo Tan moved a few steps to the left and pressed his hand on the pure white door. , pushed it away gently, and then walked in as expected.
After his figure disappeared, the door, which represented [Absolute Neutrality], slowly closed with a roar.
……
[Your camp is - absolute neutrality. This position is never reversible. Start calculating your initial talents, race, and abilities]
In the darkness, Mo Tan heard the voice of the system again.
Still as he expected, there is such a message on the official website of the game Innocence, telling players that their initial camp will always follow their characters, and its specific role It awaits further exploration by players...
As for what the official did not mention, race or talent is actually determined by the system, which somewhat surprised Mo Tan.
【Complete calculation, your initial character information is:】

[Note: What you see is just the tip of the iceberg]
"Okay~ One comment basically negates all the above content It's gone." Mo Tan, who didn't know where he was, closed the hyperlink with his consciousness and continued reading.
Civilization Attributes: Eloquence 5, Charisma 2, Knowledge 8, Leadership 0
“High knowledge should be because I know the DND rules, charm and leadership well...Okay, I admit that I have no temperament. "Although Mo Tan didn't click on the hyperlink, it didn't stop him from making a rant.
Combat attributes: None
[Please name your character]
Mo Tan thought for a moment and said the words 'Black Brahman', because he knew this most of the time Although I was pretending to be the main personality, I actually didn't have "Mo Tan" at all, so I randomly took part of my real name, and then modified the "Fan" in the word "ordinary" to come up with such a slightly self-deprecating character. name.
[Character name: Hei Fan, please confirm. 】
The word "Hei Fan" appears at the top of the character information. After all, the system synchronizes the player's thoughts, so there is no nonsense about the same pronunciation and different words, but it still made another confirmation.
"No need."
【Do you want to adjust your appearance? 】
The moment Mo Tan heard these words, he suddenly saw himself floating in mid-air wearing coarse cloth.
"No need."
[Character creation completed, absolutely neutral Hei Fan, welcome to the land of innocence]
...
The darkness faded away, and Mo Tan opened his eyes the moment he regained control of his body.
He found himself lying on a fairly spacious bed.
[Guidance mission has been triggered——]
A small translucent window suddenly appeared in sight, and Mo Tan quickly read a line of small letters on the mission panel: Leave the Green Inn, Join the Marshall Territory Army.
Simple, clear and straightforward tasks.
Mo Tan climbed down from the bed and found that he was wearing exactly the same clothes as when the system confirmed whether he wanted to adjust his appearance. Then he opened the equipment panel with his consciousness according to the tutorial he saw in the manual while queuing during the day.
There are fourteen equipment slots for characters in Innocence, namely head, shoulders, cloak, clothes, pants, shoes, wrist guards, gloves, main-hand weapon, off-hand weapon, and rings (two ), amulets and a special equipment slot, except for the last one, there is not much difference from the usual mainstream games.
Mo Tan now only has equipment in three slots: clothes, pants and shoes.
I won't list the specific attributes. If I have to explain it in one sentence, it is - a linen suit with a total defense power of 3.
As for the character bar and skill bar, he also took a look at them. The former was the same as the initial one, while the latter had nothing at the moment.
Mo Tan did not leave the room immediately, because according to his experience, there should be some money to be made in this kind of place...
Finally, after searching under the bed, After exploring the closet and angrily lifting the carpet for three rounds of disappointment, Mo Tan finally found something behind the potted plant in the corner of the room.
[A pack of primary potions]
Weight: 0.5kg
Contains: one bottle each of primary healing potion, magic potion, and detoxification potion.
[Note: Why is it hidden in a place like this? 】
"I also want to know... why are you in this place..." Mo Tan panted and packed the potion in his bag and left the room. After rummaging for a while, he actually consumed it. Thirty percent physical fitness.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a humanoid creature with a lizard head carrying an oak barrel and trotting past him. As he passed by, he didn't forget to turn around and pull it out at him. An expression that should be a smile: "How did you sleep, guest."
"Uh, not bad~" Mo Tan raised his hand and responded. He felt that this NPC was quite humane, and then went downstairs. Came to the hotel lobby.
The time here seems to be afternoon, but there are not many people on this floor except for a blond female elf sitting behind the counter and taking a nap.
Mo Tan thought for a while and decided to go forward and say hello first. But before he could get closer, the elf girl with a tired face suddenly twitched her ears twice and raised her head. He lazily said to him: "You got up on time. There should be no stalls at the recruitment office. Just turn left when you go out and keep walking. I wish you good luck."
"Huh?" Mo Tan was a little surprised. After all, they had already answered before I even had a chance to ask.
"Ah what." The elf shook his ears and stretched out his slender index finger to scratch the corners of his eyes: "Didn't you say when you checked in at midnight last night that you planned to try your luck with the Autonomous Army in the afternoon? "
Mo Tan probably understood it now, and nodded slightly: "Thank you, I'm about to leave."
"You're welcome~" The young proprietress of the Green Inn waved her hand: "You don't have to be so anxious. The recruitment will last for three days. It doesn't matter even if you don't make it on the first day. You can still stay here for another day. Late, of course, you have to pay extra~"
Mo Tan thanked him again, then turned and walked out of the hotel door. The air outside was fresh and dry, and the fragrance of the earth lifted his spirits. .
“At least here you don’t have to worry about losing blood due to air quality problems.” Mo Tan sighed a little, as if in reality the smog he had inhaled for the past twenty years had made him lose so many years. As if he had a long life, he then took steps forward and merged into the pale golden afterglow cast by the setting sun.
