After I became popular, I became a Taoist

On National Day, many people who bought advance tickets are ready to go to the movies.

Li Tian bought a ticket after ten o'clock in the morning. He leisurely ate breakfast, and rushed to the cinema full of anticipation.

Even though it was a National Day festival, the crowd flow in the cinema in the morning was obviously not as good as in the afternoon, so Li Tian got the tickets and popcorn smoothly, and then sat in his favorite seat.

Only then did he realize that besides him, there were many people sitting in the whole venue.

It was ten o'clock in the morning, he counted, and the attendance rate was at least 90.00%.

He is a little relieved, it seems that there are still many people who are willing to support good movies like him.

Soon, "Outliers" began.

The film company's logo appeared in the opening title, and Tiancheng was the main caster, so its logo was naturally at the front.

The animation is also very interesting. It is a palace built in the ocean. On the palace is a mermaid with a flick of its tail. At the same time, there is a fish-shaped white cloud in the sky that echoes the ocean below.

The whole tone is a sky blue that makes people feel open and comfortable.

Li Tian couldn't help but think, if "Alien" can become popular, maybe he will be able to see Tian Cheng's logo often in the future.

After the opening title, the feature film of "Outliers" finally came.

The beginning is a bird's-eye view of the whole city. In this city with a strong sense of technology, well-dressed elite people are busy.

But when the camera zooms in, you will find that these people have some characteristics that are different from modern humans.

For example, the pupils of some people's eyes are obviously different from those of ordinary people. It is because they have undergone genetic surgery and changed part of their genes, so their eyesight is better and clearer than ordinary people.

Another example is that some people's arms are unrealistically strong, as if they have been injected with something.

In short, there are all kinds of people on the street, but there is no natural human being. Everyone has very weird and absurd things, but with the background behind them, they are extraordinarily harmonious.

The next moment, news began to be broadcast on the propaganda screen hanging in the sky. The most recent news was a reporter's interview with the slums.

In just one or two minutes, Li Tian had figured out the background of the movie.

This is a story that takes place in a certain city in the future. Here, human beings have been striving to make a leap in genetic technology. In fact, human beings have also achieved it. At least in the field of genetic modification, great progress has been made.

This research was absolutely forbidden at the beginning, because many people became monsters because of this research, but later, after the capital mastered some specific transformation methods, genetic improvement became the most popular trend.

Many human organs are too fragile. Obviously their brains can be said to be the masterpiece of the creator, but the functions of their hearts, lungs, and stomachs are not even comparable to some animals.

Therefore, human beings have completely opened Pandora's box and regarded themselves as creators.

Many elites were born from genetically improved humans, so after many years, natural humans became the bottom of the society.

Except for some diehards who oppose genetic modification, most of these people have no money for genetic modification.

After so many years of elimination, the only natural people left in the city are the people in the slums.

This is where the story begins.

Li Tian is looking forward to the follow-up content even more.

Soon, the protagonist Lu Tao appeared.

The image of Su Xinghe obviously made some people exclaim a little.

Because this is very different from his previous screen image, a bit more rough and wild, and different from previous characters such as Su Zezhi, Qiu Xuan, and Wu Yu.

Looking at him, there is absolutely no way to connect him with his past roles, as if he is a member of this slum.

Gu Nuannuan was sitting next to Li Tian at the moment, she was excited, but she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only hug her popcorn tightly.

Dude this look is so cool!

The breath of a mature man rushed towards his face, like some kind of wild beast living in the wild, making people feel extremely sharp and dangerous.

It's so handsome!

There is also a TV in Lu Tao's home, playing the same news as outside, the difference is that Lu Tao watched it after a few glances and then stopped watching it.

He started exercising as usual. In the camera, his muscles looked very beautiful and strong, and Gu Nuannuan ate a few popcorns to suppress the screaming in his throat.

Then Wang Hope, played by Lin Ran, came to find him.

He and Lu Tao grew up together. They were both children of slums. They had no right to receive higher education and could only go to vocational schools. After graduation, they lost their jobs and went to work in various places every day. They were brothers and sisters.

This time he came to Lu Tao just for their latest job.

From the conversation between the two of them, the audience also knew that the company they were going to, named Blue Sky, used to be a laboratory for implementing genetic modification programs, and now it has become an oligarch of genetic technology.

Wang Hope is obviously very interested in Blue Sky Company: "You said that if we behave well, can we stay as regular workers and earn more money to receive genetic modification surgery?"

But Lu Tao said: "First of all, Blue Sky Company may not have a formal position for cleaners. Secondly, although our salary is good, it is definitely not enough for surgery. Finally, even if I have money, I am not willing to undergo reconstructive surgery."

He is very satisfied with his body. Of course, more importantly, he does not think that the current human beings have the technology to change genes at will.

Gene technology is indeed the object of future development, it can help humans overcome many diseases, and it can also help humans prolong life.

But today's human beings have no awe of this, treat genetic modification surgery as plastic surgery, and do it as they want, without considering the side effects at all.

In fact, as far as Lu Tao learned from his grandfather, the first batch of people who underwent surgery died of various sequelae. Until now, many people have sequelae every year, but they never appear in bright and beautiful places. in the news.

No one knows where these people ended up going.

Wang hoped not to be surprised after hearing Lu Tao's words. Lu Tao and his family were tough diehards, so they ended up living in the slums.

People in the upper class all agree with genetic modification, and many people even use it for profit. Naturally, diehards who can only speak ironically have no place to stand.

This conversation was very short, and soon the two arrived at Blue Sky Company.

Li Tian took a sip of Coke, he liked the rhythm of the movie very much, he didn't procrastinate at all, he explained the background of the story and the background of the protagonist clearly in a few minutes.

Blue Sky Company is obviously a place with strict hierarchy. Everyone wears a chip to identify their position. Lu Tao and Wang hope that although the two lowest-level cleaners have not been implanted with a chip, they have also obtained an identifier.

"Bring this well, if you lose it, you won't be able to blame anyone else if you die."

After the security guard finished speaking, a well-equipped team passed by, and Lu Tao recognized at a glance that they were holding the latest laser wooden warehouse.

At the same time, the bodies of this group of people are also very strong, and they look very intimidating.

But Lu Tao knew that this was just the result of the surgery.

After this short glance, he and Wang hoped to reach the fifth basement floor. What they had to do was to clean up the things here.

Wang hoped to cover his nose as soon as he entered, because the inside was so smelly, even though he was wearing a mask, he couldn't stand it.

"What's so stinky?" Wang hoped to look around.

Lu Tao's pupils shrank when he saw clearly what was in front of him.

Because there is a huge garbage disposer in front of them, and the stench is from the things discharged from the garbage disposer.

At a cursory glance, those things looked like sewage from a sewer, but upon closer inspection, they looked like human tissues, but they were too messy to tell apart.

Apart from the two of them, the others were obviously also wrinkled by the smell.

The person who brought them said indifferently: "Your job is to clean up here."

After explaining how to clean up, the man left, and when the door was closed, all eight people present were locked inside.

Li Tian inevitably felt a little strange at this time. In fact, this sense of disobedience had already existed when Lu Tao agreed to come to Blue Sky Company with Wang Hope.

Although Lu Tao's appearance in the opening scene is only a short one or two minutes, everyone can see that he is a very proud and smart person, and he is not short of money, because if he wants to make money, he has plenty of ways.

One piece of evidence is the TV he made out of junk at home.

There are also books he usually read, which contain very advanced technical theories. Even Wang Hope was very surprised that he was willing to work at Blue Sky Company during the conversation.

So now Lu Tao is willing to clean up the garbage with other people, which makes Li Tian feel even more out of harmony.

Soon, Lu Tao used actions to explain to the audience where this sense of disobedience came from.

In the process of cleaning up, he was obviously investigating Blue Sky Company.

He didn't come here to work, he came here obviously for another purpose.

Li Tian regained his energy all of a sudden.

It was only then that everyone discovered that Lu Tao had hidden a lot of equipment on his body.

These devices were not checked out at all during the security check.

When he saw Lu Tao take out the first miniature camera from the button on his cuff, Li Tian almost knelt down to him.

Obviously, although Lu Tao was born in a slum, his knowledge level is obviously higher than many elite humans in this world.

Although these devices are extremely crude, Blue Sky Company has not discovered them at all.

The technical performance of this section is very cool, and the special effects are also done very well. Although Lu Tao in the screen is wearing a mask, his eyes reveal a kind of ruthlessness and fierceness that belong to a hunter.

His movements are also telling the audience that he is here to hunt, not to be a cleaner.

It's a pity that no one found out about his behavior.

The plot of this episode was very delicately designed. Under the ubiquitous monitoring, Lu Tao's seemingly ordinary actions made the whole room be decorated with what he wanted to arrange.

There were even some things that passed through the garbage pipes and went to the floors above.

Just this short paragraph, coupled with the bgm, made Li Tian very refreshing to watch.

Sure enough, this kind of commercial movie still needs to be cool.

At the same moment, several senior executives of Blue Sky Company with different skin colors, hair colors, and eye colors were having a meeting.

One of their current very important technological experiments has encountered a bottleneck. All the people involved in the experiment have turned into monsters and are currently locked up on the third basement floor. However, the experiment must continue, so they need more people.

"It's not difficult to deal with monsters. You only need to release the poisonous gas, and the monsters on the whole floor will die."

This is the simplest and most efficient method, so the focus of their discussion is not this, but where to find the experimental subjects they need.

"Natural persons are very easy to find. There are millions of people in the slums. You only need to do some work to recruit them. For example, there are hundreds of people in the company now who are natural persons."

"As for transforming humans, there are too few who meet the conditions."

They are senior executives of the Blue Sky Company, so they naturally know that the current genetic modification technology is immature, so many modified people look very healthy, but according to their experimental data, the life span of this group of people may only be half of that of natural people.

Of course, not all genetic modification operations will cause such consequences. For example, what some of them received was a relatively mature modification. Therefore, many people here are already in their 80s and 40s, and they look as young as they are in their [-]s and [-]s.

And the new project they want to carry out is naturally for themselves, because they found that starting from this year, the body data of several people began to decline continuously, and the improved genes could no longer work at all, and their body data was recovering to 80-[-] years old The state, and the speed is very fast, the soonest end of this year, a few people may not be able to hold on.

That's why they are so anxious.

Soon, a few people discussed a new experiment plan, and the number of people experimenting with this plan has also expanded to tens of thousands.

When Lu Tao left, he didn't know that the people in the slums were about to suffer. It was not his whim to sneak into the Blue Sky Company, but something he had planned for a long time.

He didn't want to save people, nor did he have any sense of justice, he just wanted to see the laboratory of Blue Sky Company.

Because he was also studying genetic technology, but he didn't have the conditions to do experiments, and he didn't know how advanced the technology of Lantian Company was, so he took the risk to visit Lantian's laboratory.

As for those things that his grandfather and father enjoined him?He didn't care what other people's life and death had to do with him.

All the hard study from childhood to adulthood, he didn't do it to save others, just because he was interested in these things, that's all.

After returning home, Lu Tao closed the windows, locked the door, and then turned on the only TV in the house.

The ordinary TV set in the daytime has become a computer after some operations by him.

And what is currently displayed on the computer is exactly what he has taken with the equipment in the blue sky company.

The fifth-to-last floor was nothing special, it was full of rubbish, and the same was true for the fourth-to-last floor, but the appearance of the rubbish was much clearer than that of the fifth floor.

These are indeed all human tissue, or a human body is more appropriate to describe it.

A destroyed human body, a human body that cannot be seen clearly, a human body that seems to have turned into a monster...

Lu Tao frowned slightly. Even though he always felt that he was not an emotional person and was not interested in other people's emotions, but at this moment, he still felt disgusted.

Blue Sky Company was indeed as disgusting as his grandfather and father said it was.

Looking up, after reaching the third floor, Lu Tao's expression finally changed.

Because he didn't know what adjectives to use to describe the experimental subjects here.

He remembered reading a fairy tale about Cthulhu when he was a child. These experimental subjects are like low-level monsters in the story at this moment. You can't even tell where their heads are and where their bodies are.

Lu Tao vomited.

But after vomiting, he found that he still vomited too early.

Because a pile of smoke appeared on the screen at this moment, and in the smoke, the experimental subjects all turned into blood mixed with human tissue, and then, they were all discharged into the processor on the fourth-to-last floor, after a round of After processing, it naturally entered the penultimate fifth floor.

In other words, this pile of things was what he was going to deal with tomorrow.

Lu Tao was about to resign.

Anyway, his little thing has already entered Blue Sky Company, so there is no need for him to go to Blue Sky Company anymore.

Seeing this, Li Tian has already cast his eyes on the production of "Outliers".

Those monsters just now gave him the illusion that he was playing a game of Cthulhu. He understood Lu Tao very well, because he was also quite nauseous at the moment. Strong anger.

He almost wanted to kill these melons immediately, which was probably how he felt now.

The next day, Lu Tao did not remind Wang Hope not to go.

But when Wang Xixi left, Lu Tao still frowned slightly.

Seeing this fleeting expression, Gu Yuanyuan knew that Lu Tao still couldn't bear it now.

But his sympathy was obviously very little, for he was quickly back in the room, and he didn't go out even though the whole slum was uproarious behind him.

"What? Blue Sky Company is recruiting?"

"Can we go too?"

"The salary is so high?"

Hearing these noisy voices, Lu Tao opened the window and saw a group of people with surprised expressions on their faces.

These people were obviously stunned by the pie that fell from the sky, and they were willing to follow the people of Blue Sky Company without saying a word.

Lu Tao couldn't help but sneered when he thought of the scene on the third floor yesterday.

With his intelligence, he naturally guessed what these people were doing.

Just then, another person rushed out.

This is a woman in her 30s. Although there are signs of age on her face, it is undeniable that she is still a beauty. As soon as she came out, many people stopped and looked at her.

Obviously, she is not only beautiful, but also very powerful.

"If Blue Sky Company wants to recruit people, it will release the news through the official website. It will not be so simple to directly ask people to do on-site recruitment. After all, no company will come here to recruit on-site."

As soon as these words came out, the people from Blue Sky Company frowned.

Soon, there was a conflict below.

Because the people of the blue sky company will not let anyone spoil their actions today.

Although the woman has prestige, she is weak and weak, and there are too few people who support her. Under the strength of the Blue Sky Company, her stop has no effect, and instead she puts herself in.

Before she left, she couldn't help but raised her head, and saw Lu Tao with an indifferent face on top.

Lu Tao watched helplessly as a group of people were taken away.

He frowned again.

The frowning expression was obviously longer this time than before.

At night, he didn't wait for Wang Hope to come back.

But he waited until the violence and chaos on the third underground floor.

Because obviously there are people who know what Blue Sky Company is going to do like him, but unlike him, these people are obviously planning to stop Blue Sky Company.

This is a small team, with a total of eight people. Everyone is an elite outside, but an elite among natural people - Lu Tao did not see any traces of genetic modification on them.

Are there other natural people out there?

Lu Tao was a little taken aback, but he immediately thought of the nameless organization his father mentioned.

His father just left the slum, went to the organization, and then there was no news.

Lu Tao didn't follow, because he didn't think he could fight against the power of Blue Sky Company with his own ability. He believed in the power of science, knew the power of capital, and knew his own power better.

He couldn't do such a stupid thing as a mayfly shaking a tree, let alone shake a tree for others.

But this night, he was silent.

The team on screen failed, and they were all captured, but not executed.

Natural people are precious, and smart and strong natural people are even more precious, so the Blue Sky Company obviously regards them as one of the precious experimental subjects.

Besides them, Wang Hope was among them, as well as many people who were taken away today.

Lu Tao turned off the TV.

These things have nothing to do with him, and he will not do such a stupid thing like those eight fools.

But he didn't fall asleep that night. He dreamed of his grandfather and his father. Of course, what appeared most in his dreams was his mother, who was a very gentle and kind woman.

"Xiao Tao will definitely become a man like your grandfather and your father in the future."

The next day, Lu Tao sat up from the bed.

The words that his mother said to him before leaving were repeated in his ears.

But he didn't agree, if it wasn't for helping others, his mother wouldn't have died, and his father wouldn't have left without returning.

So he told himself that he would definitely not be a man like his grandfather, like his father.

He would be a selfish, egoistic, unsympathetic man.

But when he was a child, he still took out a box from under his pillow, and there was a piece of paper in the box with only one address on it.

He walked towards the address.

Then, he saw his father, and also saw a group of people who shared the same aspirations as his father.

His father was not surprised when he saw him, as if he knew he would come to this place early on.

"I knew that you would come to me sooner or later."

His father had already appeared old, with white hair on his sideburns, but in Lu Tao's view, this man seemed to be the tall and strong image of him when he was young.

"I didn't come to join you, I just came to confirm one thing." Lu Tao said coldly.

He just wanted to know the magic power of what this organization wanted to do, which could make people forget about their own lives.

The father smiled when he heard the words: "Here, you will find the answer you want."

It was as if he had found his own answer in the process of searching.
