Chapter 91
(It’s actually Chapter 98, the chapter name is wrong)
Irfan’s voice can no longer be heard at all.
ICEY, or Kim Hye Young, a well-known idol in the real world, silently put down the paper cup close to the floor-to-ceiling window with complicated eyes. I couldn't tell whether I was sad that the rabbit had died, or I was glad that the person who died was not me.
To be fair, Kim Hye Young’s life has been quite smooth. Both her parents work in the Seoul government and she has received an elite education since she was a child. Even if she becomes an idol out of personal interest, she does not need to be accepted by the company like some trainees in the civilian class. They were severely exploited and even used as a trading tool to serve as escorts.
After accidentally becoming a player, she was noticed by the Global Supernatural Alliance, learned about the real world from them, and finally agreed to sign a contract to become an employee.
The Global Supernatural Alliance provided her with a series of resources including scientific exercise, equipment and props, while she continued to maintain her idol status, releasing albums, appearing on shows, and touring.
And through an unknown instrument brought out from the killing field, the "love" and "admiration" of her thousands of fans were condensed into physical droplets and handed over to the guild. As for the purpose of the droplets, she didn't know.
‘Irfan was a Level 8 player of Prometheus Company after all, but he died inexplicably without even leaving his body intact. If I were to die and be transported back to the real world in the form of a corpse, maybe only my parents would be really sad.'
Jin Huiying lowered her eyes. According to the rules of the Global Occult Alliance, there is a high probability that her death will be covered up. After hearing the news of her death, she found someone to have plastic surgery to look like her and continue to exist as ICEY.
It's not about cold blood, it's about efficiency.
Then again, in this era where appearance, voice, posture and even emotional memory can be customized, what is it that distinguishes people?
Ta Ta Ta Ta.
The sound of high heels coming from far away interrupted Jin Huiying's thoughts. Annie strode back to the living room, her clothes changed into a red skirt and rhinestone embroidered sheepskin high heels.
She didn't care about Irrfan's death at all. She sat on the sofa, elegantly took out the makeup mirror from her handbag, and applied lipstick in front of the mirror.
"By the way, your name is ICEY, right?"
Annie glanced at Jin Huiying and said casually: "How about our cooperation?"
"Huh? What does cooperation mean?"
< br>"In the last round of the game, I set up a tragic character for myself as a survivor. This round will definitely get a considerable number of sympathy votes from the audience."
Annie said: "You and I will temporarily join forces to find a way Eliminate the others.”
"This"
Jin Huiying pinched the button of her collar, thinking of Anne's cold-blooded behavior in the previous round. Cooperating with her is equivalent to seeking skin from a tiger, but if she doesn't agree, she may become her hunting target.
After hesitating for a moment, Jin Huiying changed the subject and asked: "Mr. Irfan is from Prometheus, right? You used slander and frame-up to eliminate him, so you are not afraid that after the mission is over, Prometheus Is Hughes looking for trouble?
You must know that everyone in their guild carries a 'black box'. "
In the aviation field, black box refers specifically to flight information recorders, which record flight time, speed, and altitude. , aircraft data, driver and flight attendant conversations, etc.
In the killing field, some players will also carry small data recorders with them to record the audio and video of the player's surrounding environment.
In this way, even if the player dies during the mission and the body is sent back to the real world, the guild he belongs to will know how he died and compile the death process into a log for future generations to learn from.
Since each player qualification is a rare resource of human civilization, major guilds do not encourage players to seek revenge on other chosen ones based on the data recorder after the death of relatives and friends.
Of course, theory is theory, reality is reality, and occasionally revenge situations will still occur.
This also created an unwritten unspoken rule - if someone kills another player in a script mission or a deathmatch mission, he must destroy the body and eliminate all traces to avoid being remembered.
Annie said casually: "First, this is a death duel mission. There is no responsibility for life or death, and no accountability for each other. I will not ignore the lawsuit no matter where it goes.
Two, listen to the sound, Irfan is being thrown out After that, it was eaten by wild beasts in the wasteland, and the black box may not be left on the body.
Third, I am a member of the Witch Alliance, so I am worthy of Prometheus."
This. The three reasons were quite convincing. Jin Huiying asked again: "Why don't you find someone else?"
"Because you are the most powerful and alone."
Anne said naturally: "Leonardo and I have already fallen out. Little Red Riding Hood and Spider-Man obviously know each other and have formed an alliance. I can't see through Harley from the FBI. As for Will, hehe, he is very 'dangerous' .
In contrast, you have no strength and no allies. Although you are pretty sweet, your looks are not of much use in this reality show where everyone is pretty. ”
She paused, as if giving Jin Huiying time to think, "I will only make this proposal once. If you don't agree, I will find someone else to form an alliance."
".I Agree."
Jin Huiying hesitated for a moment, but nodded, "The second round is the talent show, who do you want to eliminate?"
"Well, let's talk about it later."
Anne put down her lipstick, closed the makeup mirror with a snap, took out a tube of white paste from her handbag, and applied it under her eyes.
Under Jin Huiying's shocked gaze, Annie's eyes quickly turned red and she shed a lot of tears, looking like pear blossoms with rain.
"Tear gas sticks, the main ingredient is menthol. Applying it under the eyes can stimulate the tear glands to secrete tears."
Anne kept wiping her tears with a tissue and said calmly: "In If you use it in a bar, you can immediately trick him into thinking that you are a man who has broken up and wants to take advantage of you. Then you can trick him into a back alley, stun him with an electric shock device, and take away his belongings.”
< br>
Ah this
Jin Huiying was speechless and didn’t know how to evaluate it.
Not long before the show started, other players also returned to the living room one after another. Xiaoying and Little Red Riding Hood arrived last, the former wearing red and blue 3D glasses.
"Where have you two been?" Leonardo, who had changed into a tuxedo, asked with raised eyebrows.
"I went to watch a movie in the villa's private cinema." Li Sheng sat down casually, "For some reason, the cinema only stored movies before the nuclear war, including but not limited to "Fast and Furious 13: The Center of the Earth" "Gravity", "Fast and Furious 15: To the Moon", "Fast and Furious 21: Paul Returns", "Fast and Furious 30: Wheelchair Race to the Solar System""
In order to prove that what he said was true, Li Sheng took out a Blu-ray disc, which actually had an old bald head printed on it. He was sitting in a wheelchair and racing wildly in a spacecraft.
Uh, should I say Hollywood pills or the Fast and Furious series are too good at making money?
Others looked a little weird. Many script mission worlds are very similar to the real earth, but there will be deviations in some details.
For example, the Cold War ended with the victory of the socialist camp, the earth has two satellites, Coca-Cola is not called Coca-Cola but adopts the old translation of tadpole chewing wax, etc.
Like the discs that Li Sheng dug out, the bald head printed on them is also different from Vin Diesel.
"In a sense, this near-future worldview is really refreshing. I can see the ending of literary works many years in advance."
Li Sheng smacked his lips and said with regret: "What a pity. There are no comic collections such as "Legend of Sword and Wind", "Hunter Hunter", "Forced Armor Cap", "One Piece", etc. There is no place to make up for the lack of nutrition. Alas, since Gol D. Roger died. After that, I rarely watched "One Piece" and I don't know where the plot is now."
? ? ? What’s the difference between that and not watching it at all?
Everyone wanted to complain loudly, but the radio was already ringing.
"Authentic good Coke, authentic good variety show. Welcome to watch the most popular reality show "It's finished! I'm surrounded by beauties/handsome guys!" exclusively sponsored by Nuka-Cola and jointly produced by Eden TV and New Humanity Alliance. Now we are going to start the first episode In the second round, each of the seven contestants showed off their talents.”
The robotic arms stretched out from the slide rails again, holding the camera and starting the live broadcast.
All the players instantly returned to their roles. Leonardo and Will were sitting upright, Annie's eyes were red with tears, Jin Huiying hugged her shoulders and whispered comfort, and Li Sheng also stuffed the disc in his hand onto the sofa cushion. below.
"Same as the last round, I'll do it first."
Leonardo showed a perfect smile to the camera, touched his watch, got up and walked to the grand piano in the corner of the living room , opened the top cover, sat down slowly, put his slender fingers on the keys and started playing.
The ten fingers moved from slow to fast, and the melody changed from slow to brisk. The expression on Leonardo's face became more focused and calm, and there was a faint sweat on his forehead.
With his physical fitness as a player, he wouldn't be sweating profusely while playing the piano, it would just be painful - the tuxedo on his body was constantly giving electric shocks to his skin.
[Item name: Magic Tuxedo Trial]
[Type: Armor]
[Quality: Rare]
[Defense: Low]
[Special Effect: Control Mode. By controlling the relevant modes of the tuxedo through the matching watch, the wearer can temporarily use basic skills such as fighting, cooking, vehicle driving, house cleaning, and musical instrument playing. The total power limit is one hour]
[Consumption: 1% of physical energy value per minute]
[Cooling time: 24 hours]
[Equipment conditions: Physical attribute is less than or equal to 8】
[Remarks: Wear a suit, drink red wine, and enjoy the high life]
[Remarks: In order to prevent losing your temper in public, it is strongly recommended that the wearer wear diapers]
The inspiration for this piece of equipment is obviously his own. In 2002, the science fiction action movie "The Magic Tuxedo" was produced by DreamWorks and starring Jackie Chan.
In that movie, a tuxedo made of cutting-edge technology can automatically adapt to the wearer's body shape, giving him superhuman agility and a vast number of life skills.
Let an ordinary person become a top agent in an instant.
However, the one on Leonardo is just a trial model. Not only does it have less power and narrower skills, it is also used in a rather rough way - metal filaments protrude from the inside of the tuxedo and are directly inserted into the dermis of the skin. Micro electric shock to control muscle movement.
From the audience's point of view, as beautiful as this piano piece is, Leonardo will be offended.
It’s no wonder that its equipment condition is very rare and the physical attribute is less than or equal to 8. If the physical attribute is higher and can withstand the pain of electric shock, it may not work.
“Rememberthosewallsibuilt——”
The black beauty Harley, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up and began to sing softly.
Leonardo looked a little surprised at first, and then immediately adjusted the piano melody without any trace to make it suitable for Halle's singing - her voice is in excellent condition, with a wide range and smooth sound quality, no less than that of professional singers.
The two of them had interacted in the first round, and playing duet at this time was not inconsistent at all. The number of votes for the two people was steadily rising, and a bunch of barrages appeared on the TV screen.
[These two people are so in touch with each other. I like this perfect fit and the sense of confidant. I am crazy about this couple]
[Please get married where you are, immediately, immediately]
[High-end CP is different. He looks good, has great talent, and has a good taste. It gives off a lot of sugar without leaving residue. It is really refreshing to knock. The mutant in our village cannot do it without knocking]
Sure enough, these two people have already formed an alliance.
The handsome black man Will narrowed his eyes and suddenly came up with a plan. He stood up, walked to Anne gracefully, and stretched out his hand politely, "Miss Anne, can I ask you to dance?" ?”
Leonardo and Harley were still singing duet, providing background music. Among the remaining three girls, Little Red Riding Hood has already formed an alliance with Xiaoying. Regardless, Jin Huiying, as a young girl who has just grown up, seems too childish and inappropriate.
On the other hand, it was Anne, whose face still bore traces of tears from crying, maintaining the bitter look of a survivor. Inviting her to dance as a gentleman can get you a lot of votes.
In addition, Will is not too worried that Annie will use dirty tricks again - the same trick cannot be used twice. If both male guests are eliminated because of her, no matter how stupid the audience is, they will Realized something was wrong.
"Okay, okay."
Anne wiped away her tears and was helped up by Will. She came to the open space next to the piano and danced to the singing.
"Mr. Peiying."
Looking at the rising votes of others, Little Red Riding Hood nervously tugged at the corner of Li Sheng's clothes, "What should we do?"
No response.
She turned her head slightly and saw Li Sheng looking up at the sky at an unknown 45 degrees, with tears in his eyes.
"Sorry, I lost my temper. Listening to the music, I remembered a few old friends inexplicably."
Li Sheng laughed at himself and said sadly: "When I was a child, my family ran a machinery factory. My father was The factory director, my mother was the workshop director. She died in a factory accident in front of my eyes. My father didn’t care about me and put me in a relative’s home for foster care. Later, when the factory failed, he asked me, who was 14 years old at the time, to go back to work as a child laborer and live among the employees. dormitory, and occasionally had to take up arms with other child workers to defend the factory.
A girl with red hair and a girl with blue and white hair who looked very similar to my mother died in the process. < br>
This is a photo of them. ”
Players at this level have basically added perception attributes, allowing them to see in all directions and hear in all directions. When I heard Li Sheng's first few sentences, I still felt a bit sincere, but the child labor part felt unreal. When Li Sheng took out the photos, I couldn't hold back at all.
The red-haired girl pointed to Rika, and the blue-and-white-haired girl pointed to Ayanami Rei. Good guy, your name is Shinji Ikari, right?
