The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

Wen Zheliu knelt up from the ground with difficulty, and smiled angrily: "You fucking..."

The boy in front of him was stocky and chubby, with a horizontal line of flesh on his face. He was wearing a red sweater and khaki pants, with wet sweat stains on the neckline and back.He glared at Wen Zheliu angrily, holding the VR helmet that had just been pulled from Wen Zheliu's head in his hand. At this moment, the downstairs door rang, and the boy immediately smiled gleefully: "Ha, my dad Mom is back, you wait to be beaten!"

As he said that, he put down the things in his hands, and ran down from Wen Zheliu with a loud voice, his heavy body shook the floor and creaked: "Dad! Mom! Wen Zheliu sneaked into my game room again today, He is a thief!"

Wen Zheliu had a splitting headache, he got up and walked downstairs, and called out in a low voice, "Uncle, aunt."

The man standing at the bottom is also tall and fat, and the woman standing on the side has similar facial features to Wen Zheliu. The man's expression is a little ugly, but he still persuades: "Tianxiong, didn't Dad tell you After that, the game warehouse was bought back for you to play with your cousin, you don’t want to be bullying all day long..."

Hearing this, Liu Tianxiong immediately yelled like a fool: "Whatever you play together, it's mine, mine! He eats from my house, uses my house, and now he wants to rob my game room. I'm so annoying to him. You beat him, you beat him quickly!"

While yelling, he took out a metal branch from the half-person-high vase by the entrance, which was used as a branch of an ornamental tree, and stuffed it into the man's hand without hesitation: "Break his leg!"

Liu Jianzhang smiled awkwardly, Wen Zheliu's gaze had completely darkened, staring at the metal branch held in Liu Tianxiong's hand.

He is not the child of Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian.

When Wen Zheliu was eight years old, his parents died in a car accident, and he was adopted by his uncle and aunt, Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian.At that time, Liu Jianzhang gave birth to his first son, Liu Tianxiong, with Wen Qian in his middle age, so he naturally spoiled him with a spoiled and domineering temper.Although Wen Qian and Wen Zheliu's father are brothers and sisters, due to the weak kinship, this woman can take all the money and real estate that Wen's father and mother left to Wen Zheliu with peace of mind, happily living in the new city. Changed to a three-story villa, while treating his elder brother's son as a free labor force.At home, Liu Tianxiong was even allowed to wantonly bully the young Wen Zheliu.

Wen Zheliu endured and endured, and finally one day he couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the glass shelf on the table used to press paper, and swung Liu Tianxiong hard, cracking the corner of his eye.After the husband and wife came back from the hospital with pale faces, Liu Jianzhang used a finger-thick metal branch that was used as a decoration in the porch vase, grabbed Wen Zheliu by the neck, and beat him from the living room to the kitchen until he was beaten. Bloodstained all over his body, he developed a high fever that night and was sent to the hospital.

Due to his serious injuries, the Vulnerable Groups Protection Agency immediately intervened in the investigation. They suspected that this was deliberate domestic violence, and they wanted to file a criminal case against Liu and his wife. Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian were afraid that the matter would be revealed. In the end, they still had to face the disaster of prison, so they led their son to kneel in front of Wen Zheliu's hospital bed, weeping and crying for a long time when there was no one in the ward. Wen Zheliu was only a ten-year-old child at that time. , but couldn't bear this posture, they still agreed to reconcile.

Since then, Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian have restrained themselves a lot, and they dare not talk to Wen Zheliu in the open, except that every meal is cold and cold, and he is allowed to sleep in the house exchanged by Wen's father and mother. Apart from the attic that he had lived in for nearly ten years, and Liu Tianxiong's harassment every day and every three days, there was nothing else.

When Wen Zheliu was 15 years old and Liu Tianxiong was 14 years old, Liu Tianxiong was short of money, so instead of asking his parents for it, he ran into Wen Zheliu's room and rummaged, only to find a dozen or so illegal money he had hidden under his pillow. The reprinted cheap electronic pictorial shows several different half-naked male stars, showing their strong male bodies to the camera without any concealment, showing handsome or evil smiles from different angles——

Wen Zheliu was forced to come out of the closet. In this era of freedom where anyone with full capacity for civil conduct can marry a robot according to law, he was forced to endure the contemptuous gazes of the Lius and his wife for a long time. The malicious titles of "criminal" and "dead pervert".

The fragile but strong self-esteem and the humiliation of relying on others almost crushed Wen Zheliu when he was a teenager. Every night, he hid in the bed and wept angrily and secretly. When Liu Tianxiong clamored for a new holographic warehouse, he It was the first time he had to take the initiative to stand up and express to the Lius that he was willing to spend his parents' inheritance to "give his cousin a game warehouse", in order to imply his humble flattery and retreat.After Liu and his wife pretended to accept it with a fake smile, Liu Tianxiong finally stopped swearing at him, because they said on the surface that it was "bought for Zheliu and Tianxiong", but who is the real user? The Liu family knew it well.

This use is used until Wen Zheliu is 17 years old and is about to come of age.

Wen Qian saw that Zheliu's face was not good-looking, so she hurriedly rounded up the field and smiled, snatched the metal branch from Liu Tianxiong's hand, and put it back into the vase, "Hey, this kid just likes to joke...Tianxiong, you can't be so stingy , what’s the matter with the game warehouse for my cousin, don’t you usually play enough?”

Wen Zheliu looked gloomy, took a deep breath, and said, "He forced me to log off for the third time just now, does he want me to become a dementia directly?"

The Lius were taken aback for a moment, and Liu Tianxiong yelled: "You are a fucking thief! Your mother didn't care to raise you when she was born, you were raised by my family, and you dare to mess with my things! White-eyed wolf!"

Wen Zheliu's eyes were bloodshot, and he was trembling with anger. Seeing that he was about to have an attack, Liu Jianzhang hurriedly pushed his son into a side room, intending to close the door and talk.Liu Tianxiong was still struggling with dissatisfaction, and Wen Zheliu yelled madly: "Your family raised me?! Your family sucked my blood! If you say your family raised me, you ask your parents to give all my parents' money first. Spit it out and let's count it one by one! I'm going to be an adult soon, I'm not the idiot I used to be who didn't understand anything! You wait, I won't owe you favors, but I won't even pay for my parents' money For you guys!!"

He held back his tears and yelled this sentence, then turned around and ran upstairs. Wen Qian raised her voice and yelled "Break willows and willows" from behind. The beams of the house were covered with dust.

His head was still aching, as if something was going to come out of it, Wen Zheliu sat on the ground and stuck his neck until he was almost out of breath, and then let out a short groan from his throat Cough.

His whole body trembled, his chest heaved violently, his teeth were clenched tightly, and he almost exhausted all his strength to finally force back the unfallen tears in his eyes.

There was a tingling pain in the palm of my hand.

Wen Zheliu forced himself to turn his eyes to look over, but saw that he seemed to be holding something in his hand from just now. He was too angry before, and just held it tightly. He was shocked, and hurriedly let go of his hand. The dim light looked carefully.

It was a square silver medal hanging from a black leather rope, with many neat and small characters carved on it.

It's... Chin's dog tag!

With the rapid development of science and technology, the transmission of material from the virtual world to the real world is by no means impossible. Dog Tag completed the task of interaction between the two worlds ten years ago and became the first Items that travel freely between reality.

Looking at Chin's dog tag, he seems to be a drowning man grasping at the last straw - the gun battle, the artillery fire, the tacit cooperation between the two, the final victory, and Chin's smiling eyes Eyes...he finally saw a hope that could pull himself out of the suffocating life, he jumped up hastily, pulled off the only small light in the attic, and carefully observed the sign under the light.

"Chin... the registration name of the license to connect to the star network... He Qin..."

Chin's original name is He Qin?

He chewed the name over and over again, and when he looked again, he suddenly found that this dog tag... seemed to be different from his own and White's.

Wen Zheliu took out his dog tag from around his neck, and compared it with Chin... He Qin's.His dog tag had nothing but the basic information and iris fingerprint verification code, but He Qin's name was printed with a circle of very exquisite embossed patterns, composed of stretched irises and hydrangeas, wrapped around the edge of the dog tag. In a circle, even the back has cursive words written by laser hand, which doesn't look like an identity plate, but rather a work of art.

"He Qin... He Qin..." He chanted this name, feeling like he had heard it somewhere before, at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered what He Qin said that he didn't want to be recognized, which meant that he should He is a public figure. Since he is a public figure, he can always find it on the star network, right?

He suddenly became excited, sniffed his nose, wiped his red eyes, opened his personal terminal, entered the word "He Qin" on the search bar floating in the air, and waited anxiously for the page to refresh.

The search results were densely packed, and he was dazzled by the smell. He thought for a while, and clicked on the website in the first column of keywords. The first thing that was displayed was the very familiar phrase "City of New Stars, dreams and future, up to you Shaping", is this the official website of N-Star Company?

He was stunned, and then tentatively clicked on He Qin's entry.

- Unauthorized access, no access.

Wen Zheliu seemed to have been splashed with cold water, he bit his lip, his eyes kept wandering between the webpage and dog tags, looking for a way to get in, at this moment, he suddenly saw the login button diagonally above, and thought about it for a while , or clicked boldly, and a blue light shot out from the light curtain immediately, scanning a 3D bust of Saint Teresa with vivid eyebrows and eyes in front of him.

"Hello, please scan your fingerprint."

it works!

He was overjoyed, and hurriedly scanned the fingerprint verification code on He Qin's dog tag. The nun smiled for a moment, and then said in an ethereal voice: "Hi, since your identity is special, please scan it again within 15 seconds." iris for verification."

"Countdown 15, 14, 13..."

Wen Zheliu rubbed his fingers nervously, and hurriedly scanned the iris verification code on the dog tag again.

"Welcome back, Mr. He Qin."

The holy nun blocking the way disappeared, he laughed happily, and quickly clicked on He Qin's entry again.

The first thing that came out was a high-resolution photo.

He was dazed for a moment.

The man in the photo was tall and slender, wearing expensive and upright formal clothes, as if he was attending some important press conference.His thick black eyebrows slanted into his temples, his pair of peach blossom eyes are both romantic and thin, his nose bridge is high, his thin lips are dark red, and his sexiness is a bit cynical and suave... Wen Zheliu looked at the picture in a daze as if struck by lightning. people.

Not so long ago, the owner of these eyes smiled at him with crooked eyebrows, like a pool of affectionate spring water in his mouth, but now...

He looked at the small words under the photo, and felt that the translucent webpage with the eye protection mode turned on was so glaring for the first time.

"N-Star Group...Co., Ltd..." He muttered, stumbling, "The regional executive officer of the Asia-Pacific region... He Qin."

His icy fingertips slid upwards gently, reading the formulaic report word by word, "...unique, for the world, Xinxing Company has created a huge spiritual wealth that can rewrite history...changing the era and leading the future ...and the youngest regional executive ever to..."

He held his breath and looked at the words on the light screen, "...can he inherit his uncle's mantle and direction..."

uncle.

He suddenly remembered where he had heard He Qin's name.

When Wen Zheliu passed the city council area of ​​Nova City more than once, the male and female players gathered there talked about him with excitement and longing; It is inevitable to talk about its leader, its team, and its most famous game worlds... They say that He Qin is the youngest regional executive in history, the third heir to N-Star, and holds only Next to the current CEO and his uncle...

He opened his mouth wide in a daze, unable to speak a word.
