The day I was forced to be a detective pendant

"Hey, hey! Little classmate, open up your spiritual domain and give me permission to visit." Zhai Qi snapped his fingers in front of my eyes to bring me back to my senses.

I responded with an "ohhh" and sneaked past him to look at Bian Yao—he stood there expressionless, staring at me and beckoning me to move quickly.I just feel like I have been stepped on by lemon fudge, sour and sweet, a complex emotion that I have never experienced before.Thinking of this, I opened up the spiritual domain and filled the entire room with people.

The wheat field lake and the snow-capped mountains in the distance are just as I remember, and the tree by the lake is still full of flowers, and I have no doubt that it will continue to bloom.Zhai Qi looked around and smiled: "It's pretty good."

He paced in the wheat field, looked around, Bian Yao frowned and stared at him for a while, finally couldn't help but said: "Hurry up."

"Don't worry, I'm checking, I'm sacrificing sleep time to help you." Zhai Qi said with a smile.

I touched the little snake's back to appease me, and stepped forward and said, "The feeling of losing san is very real. It's just a VR game. I can't figure out how to do it."

"I'm thinking too," said Brother Yue, "Last night... just now I lost a little san value in the game, and I felt very uncomfortable. You were deducted even more. It's hard to imagine what it was like."

When he said this, I obviously felt that Bian Yao was getting more tense, and I quickly used my eyes to signal him not to say any more.

"I have a theory, okay..." Noticing Bian Yao's expression, Zhai Qi quickly changed his words: "I'll help Xiaolong take a look first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the spiritual domain suddenly rose, the air was shaken and distorted due to the high temperature, and the lake was instantly covered with steaming water vapor.Brother Yue untied his tie and loosened the collar of his shirt—the temperature was not suitable for arctic wolves.

Zhai Qi put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head, and walked slowly in front of me. When he raised his head, I was surprised to find that his eyes were blood red, but maybe this is what his eyes were originally like. s color.

It's just that the blood doesn't reflect anyone's appearance, nor does it reflect the scenery.Those gorgeous reds are constantly rolling and surging, like burning flames.My mind was lost in that boundless flame, and I stared at the flame for too long, I began to hallucinate-people and things I knew in the red flames began to appear, they came from my school, my family, my life. In childhood, they appeared together in disorder, like comic strips in disordered order, or frames of chaotic film strips.People who shouldn't know each other pass by in these flames, and everything is like a grand, logically unbalanced dream.

Then, without warning, Zhai Qi blinked, and all of this disappeared.

I was still immersed in the illusion and couldn't extricate myself, and I was stunned in place. Zhai Qi had already turned around and said, "No problem, if you want to talk about the problem..."

"It's over so soon?" Bian Yao asked anxiously, "What's the problem?"

"This young man is too, um... simple." Zhai Qi said, "Simple is a euphemism."

Bian Yao seemed relieved, and said, "I understand what you said."

Before I fully recovered, I heard Zhai Qi say again: "What kind of environment did this child grow up in? There is no socialist characteristic at all, like... in Scandinavia."

"Am I okay?" I interrupted, "So the deduction of san was just a temporary, emotional impact?"

"Can I talk about my theory now?" Zhai Qi said, "The test results of the red pill and the green pill have not yet come out, but I boldly speculate that it may not be something mysterious, it is most likely some psychotropic drugs .whether it’s a red pill or a green pill, maybe the ingredients are even the same.”

I was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Whether it is antidepressant drugs or anti-anxiety drugs, overdose can lead to mental abnormalities such as auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and anxiety. Combined with the reversed day and night work and rest, and the distance from the social circle, as well as those used to restore san It is easy to further exacerbate a person’s antisocial, self-isolated, and anxious emotions.” Zhai Qi said, “Using the horror atmosphere of the game itself and these perverted task requirements actually repeatedly make you To practice some anti-human small exercises to occupy your time and mind, disrupt the rhythm of your real life, and train your blind obedience and obedience. More importantly, it will marginalize you in social relations melt, and go mad or die quietly."

"Not to mention that those tasks require taking photos, such as self-harm, killing cats and dogs, and robbery. The photos are uploaded to SIP for homework, and SIP resells them to the circle of hunting for money." I said, "We have discussed these before. But that doesn't explain why you're in a remote VR game, and the player feels the mental shock of being there."

Zhai Qi said: "I have been thinking about this for a while. At the beginning, I thought that since this game is launched in a VR environment, it means that the game party has absolute control over the environment around the player. They can use One of the most traditional, simple and direct hypnosis methods is to repeatedly implant information."

"For example, when you enter a room, whether it's the pattern of the wallpaper, the title of the poster, the content of the document on the desk, or the conversation of the people around you, you all mention the same keyword intentionally or unintentionally. It is implanted into your brain. Then I will give you a multiple-choice question, put this word in the answer options, and you will choose this word with a high probability." Zhai Qi explained, "So I observed carefully in the game and found that There are many similar hints, such as the blackboard in the classroom, the broadcast that rings from time to time in the school, the fake news that pops up frequently on the mobile phone, and the posters on the street intersection, the list is too numerous to mention. The whole game frequently planted hints of death, madness, suicide, etc. , but it's not enough."

"It's not enough," I said in horror.

"What is a Trigger, I can't figure it out, it's like a pistol, you load it with a bullet, but the action of pulling the trigger, that is, the moment of confirming that the 'san value has been deducted', how can it immediately make people feel a kind of Response to post-traumatic stress?"

Bian Yao crossed his arms impatiently and asked, "So? Do you have an answer?"

"After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, because I have played this kind of trick too many times, and I am really familiar with it. So I can only think that the other party's ability attributes should be similar to mine-create illusions, control Five senses, thus affecting people's mind." Zhai Qi said, "It's just that this person's ability can be exerted through the network cable."

As soon as he said this, all of us fell silent, and I said in a daze, "Through the Internet... is this possible?"

"The attribute of mind control has always been very rare. I only know one and a half, and I don't know much." Brother Yue pondered.

I was confused: "Who is that half?"

"Xiang Wuzheng," Brother Yue said, "At that time, he was still young, and he hadn't fully developed and mastered this ability, so he can only be counted as half."

Zhai Qi said: "I have never tried to use the Internet as a medium to play a role. After all, the Internet has only appeared in the past few decades..." When he said this, he suddenly stopped suspiciously.

Bian Yao and I looked at each other, and in each other's eyes we saw the horror of what he had said.Brother Yue suddenly said: "So this is the real revelation, the real plot of this game."

"From the beginning of the game, it was recommended that each player carry a smart device, and it was also recommended that players learn computer science, electronics, and hacking techniques. Then we soon discovered that these smart devices are traps, and the system update regulations that pop up are traps—the Loaded with a human brain chip, it is used for an evil plan that we don't know yet. At the same time, the SIP APP is installed in each player character's mobile phone. This seems to be a design beyond the plot of the game, but it is not. , because it is the same in reality. Each of our mobile phones is installed with a SIP APP. Similarly, the game manager told us that this APP is used to receive rule information and various game notifications. It seems to be a design beyond the game. , but is it really just that?"

After Brother Yue asked this question, I felt chills from the back of my head to my heels in an instant, and I just wanted to tell Zhai Qi to light up more.

"In the game, the players' smartphones are all equipped with brain chips, which may be used to monitor or control the characters. What about this one in reality?" Brother Yue suddenly smiled when he said this, "Fortunately We are now in Chuyang's spiritual domain, otherwise there is a real risk of being monitored."

I gasped: "Could it be that the app that we all installed to join the game has been stealing the content on our mobile phones, and even listening to our conversations in real life?" The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became: "Maybe, the camera was hacked, and it was filming us when we didn't know it."

Bian Yao quickly reacted: "Maybe this is the real bargaining chip of SIP, not a pill, it's just a technique used by magicians to cover up. We were deceived by his mysterious game rules, in fact, they used the most The old-fashioned way - that is digging secrets out of your searches, your photo albums, your chats and webcams to blackmail players."

Zhai Qi sighed: "If this is the case, I can imagine that this tool must be very useful. As a psychiatrist, you can hardly imagine what kind of confessions I hear every day. Disgraceful hobbies, dirty behaviors, dirty transactions There are too many people who can become the handle of a person's deathbed." He shrugged.

Brother Yue nodded: "In this way, this APP is the real red pill."

"In this way...ordinary people often have ulterior secrets, let alone big businessmen or political dignitaries who have a lot of resources and information." Bian Yao said——I just remembered when he said this The original intention of Brother Yue to join the game was to find out whether the suicides of those shareholders who had contacts with him were affected by external forces.

"In this way, we look back at the initial speculation. It can be said that the ultimate purpose of SIP may not be the money from the victims, nor the money from selling novelty content." Bian Yao said, "Everything they have done so far, They are all testing, they are testing how far this tool can be applied. The test objects are first junior high school students, then high school students, college students, and social people. They want to know how much they can influence the spirit of these people and decision-making — as small as subordinating them to individual day-to-day tasks, as large as taking their own or someone else’s life.”

"In order to sell this ability," Brother Yue said, "In this way, this is not just abetment to kill people, what they are developing is a weapon."

"And it's a weapon that's not easy to disarm and kill donkeys," Zhai Qi said. "You may be able to get all the data and codes of this APP and this game, but you still need a weapon with this kind of mind control power." Spiritual body, and it needs to be able to function through the Internet. As you know, there are very few spiritual bodies with this ability. Therefore, anyone who wants to use this weapon cannot buy it out, but can only offer to hire it. It’s a constant source of funding.”

After he said this, the space fell into silence for a while, and after a while, Brother Yue clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I understand."

I looked up at him: "What?"

"That's the end of this matter, don't follow up any more."

Bian Yao: "What!"

"At this point, the incident is beyond your control, it's too dangerous." Brother Yue said, "I will directly send someone to lock the game manager's location, control him, and uninstall the app immediately after you go out. No, I'm going to get an expert to check your phones for leftover plug-ins, or backdoors that have been quietly opened, and that's the end of the matter."

Bian Yao: "Wait..."

Zhai Qi: "With all due respect, let's forget about the two of them. You don't seem to have the right to control me."

Brother Yue raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and said, "I made a slip of the tongue, you can do whatever you want."

Zhai Qi said indifferently: "I haven't played enough, I want to know what the ending of this game is. Besides, don't you find it strange why the content of this game happens to have many repetitions with the truth of reality. I believe that SIP Not just this script module, but who is using the game to convey information to us? And who...is playing the game with us?"

"Hiss—you mean..." I wasn't sure, "Maybe someone knows our purpose, or knows who we are, and they are leading us to play the game with the mentality of showing off their weapons? For example, Brother Yue Is it actually a buyer they are very interested in?"

"Impossible," Bian Yao said, "You may not know much about it, but since ancient times, although the ratio of the two has always fluctuated, there have always been two factions among capable people. A kind of populism is similar, thinking that ability Those who are superior to ordinary monkeys, the Lunatic group can be regarded as a model..."

I interrupted him: "I know, brother and I have learned about science, neutral and lawful and evil and chaotic."

"Although the power is powerful, the number of capable people is rare after all, and it is easy to be regarded as the target of public criticism because of their particularity. Historically, there are not a few capable people who were tortured and killed as witches or goblins. Maintaining a balance in human society is a must. It's a very difficult thing." Bian Yao said, "Whether it's Brother Yue or my father, they are all core members of this law-abiding committee you call, and the ethnic groups of both sides are also an important part of this creed. This has been the case for many years, no one does not know this, they cannot target Brother Yue as the target of Amway."

My brain is obviously not enough, but I still struggled: "In any case, isn't it a safer option for us to continue this game? Otherwise... will it scare the snake? I didn't say it will hit you. As for the app used to steal secrets , since we know of its existence, it’s not just a coincidence that we can use its existence to set SIP off.”

Bian Yao showed an expression of approval, and quickly added more firewood and fire: "Yes, yes, Brother Yue, with you here, we can't really be in danger, right. If there is anything that can't be dealt with at that time, we will rush In the past... uh, you just rush over and beat them up."

"That's right, brother Yue, and when it comes to mind control, senior brother is an expert, how can a mere network cable stop senior brother from breathing fire." I laughed and said, "I'm praising you, I'm praising you."

Zhai Qi stroked his chin, and suddenly said: "This has given me a new idea. I have never tried to control the other party's five senses through the Internet. When I wake up tomorrow, who will give me a try?"

After hearing this, I immediately hid behind Bian Yao, and Bian Yao turned his back to him again—we had quickly set up the ostrich posture.

Brother Yue seemed a little helpless, his eyes rolled around the faces of the three of us, half rolled his eyes, and ignored us.
