Summoning Infinite Movie

[Respected experiencer Mr. Jiang Jibei, congratulations on successfully completing the task of viewing this movie. 】

[End of watching the movie, the Japanese-style ghost talk movie "The Disappeared Old Friend" looks forward to your next viewing. 】

Along with the familiar system beep, Jiang Jibei opened his eyes suddenly.

A strong sense of dizziness immediately came from the brain, followed by a nausea from the throat.

With a "click", the helmet-like brain detector automatically released the fixing device.

At the same time, the inner wall of the hemispherical machine on the table emitted a blinding white light.

Jiang Jibei took off the heavy instrument covering his head, threw it back into the hemispherical machine, and breathed heavily.

He didn't know how long he had been in the movie, but at this moment, he was sweating profusely, and his hair was wet with sweat, sticking to his face in strands.

The airflow switch in the test base seemed to be malfunctioning, the air was not fresh, and there was even an unpleasant smell.

After a little relief, Jiang Jibei reached out and stroked the wet hair behind his head, and looked at the people around him.

The other experiencers were not much better than him. Everyone was staggering, and many people were vomiting with their heads tilted. The unpleasant smell was just the vomit.

Some people even sat on a chair, twitching and retching without even taking off the brain detector.

But it's nothing serious.

Jiang Jibei saw a young girl wearing an instrument on her head, dancing wildly in place, stretching the wires and induction wires in the hemispherical machine.

There was also a middle-aged man who suddenly dropped the brain detector and started running around the test base, taking off his clothes while running...

It's okay to exercise, but it's wrong to take off his clothes. The guards rushed up to restrain him.

They look like they're crazy.

Seriously, they were seriously hallucinating.

The more Jiang Jibei looked at that man, the more familiar he looked.

Until the other party took off a pair of underpants, was subdued by the guards, detained and passed in front of him, the man suddenly turned his head and giggled foolishly at him.

Jiang Jibei just remembered, isn't this the old grandson he met in the first zombie movie?

Lao Sun finally made it to the fifth movie, but collapsed after the fifth movie.

He himself was not much better, white light flashed in front of his eyes one after another, and the twinkling Venus loomed in the white light.

Accompanied by bursts of sharp tinnitus.

Jiang Jibei knew very well that this must be a side effect of the device in front of him.

It impacted their brain nerves and caused more or less effects on their nerve cells.

All experiencers have experienced side effects to varying degrees, ranging from dizziness like Jiang Jibei, to vomiting and even visual and auditory hallucinations.

"Be honest!" the guard scolded.

The gate of the test base was opened.

Jiang Jibei looked up, and the guards detained those who reacted violently and took them out of the test base.

At the same time, a group of researchers in white coats, carrying instruments and medicine boxes in their hands, entered through the gate of the test base.

They passed by the guards, came to the experiencers, and checked them in turn.

The people in the white coats are like the pigs in the quarantine station. Every time they inspect a tester, they stamp a stamp on that person's wrist, and then wave their hands to let the person go.

When they arrived in front of Jiang Jibei, they became cordial: "Teacher Jiang!"

Jiang Jibei was not related to this group of people, and when he was called out like this, his scalp went numb instantly, and he felt that they had malicious intentions.

Then he observed the patterns of the seals in their hands.

Jiang Jibei had seen this pattern on the eleventh floor of the basement. It was the icon of the Life Research Institute where Chi Xian was.

It turned out to be Chi Xian's person, Jiang Jibei suddenly realized: "Hello."

The routine examination was upgraded to a medical examination service, and the white coats used their instruments to draw on Jiang Jibei's perfect head for an extraordinarily long time before reluctantly looking away from his face.

Jiang Jibei: "..."

Are they really looking at instrument data?

The white coats whispered to each other, as if they really looked at the instrument data.

"Great, he's lucky, everything's fine."

"Up to now, there are only 26 people in the statistical sample who are not affected at all, so I said that this thing should not be rushed..."

"That's right, we don't need the improved sets in our lab, we have to mass-produce them, and don't let the mechanical team adjust the interface!"

They whispered in the cubicle, not treating Jiang Jibei as an outsider at all.

Jiang Jibei had sharp ears and heard "several sets in the laboratory" during their conversation.

Chi Xian is not in the test base, presumably he used the device in the laboratory.

Mentioning Chi Xian, Jiang Jibei frowned involuntarily.

When he thought of the ending of the movie, he felt outrageous.

Fortunately, that was the ending, and the scene of the re-enactment was really indescribable, sleeping in the arms of a plasma mattress and undergoing hemodialysis, even if he regained his memory, he couldn't do it.

Speaking of memory, Jiang Jibei suddenly realized that after the movie started, his memories of isolated islands, feb, and film festivals all disappeared without a trace.

He naturally accepted the identity given to him by the movie, and acted autonomously according to his "memory", and he didn't recover until he got out of the instrument.

Although he is also "Jiang Jibei" in the movie, his behavior still deviates from his real self.

Perhaps this is the last line of defense of the brain, which can only accept that it is itself, and cannot accept that it really becomes another role.

It may also be because feb's technology is too good, and it can only do this step.

The adverse reactions of the experiencers are so severe, it seems that this experiment has more or less failed, and I don't know what else feb will do.

After the researchers confirmed the data, theoretically they should wave their hands to make people leave quickly, but it was different for Jiang Jibei.

They said, "Teacher K told you to go to his place."

Jiang Jibei had expected that Chi Xian would definitely want to see him once the movie was over.

He nodded: "how to go?"

"I'll take you there." A man in a white coat led the way graciously.

After the guard confirmed the researcher's authorization, he brought Jiang Jibei to the door of Chi Xian's office.

Chi Xian stood by the door, waiting for no one knows how long.

Seeing that Jiang Jibei was fine, he was visibly relieved.

But seeing Chi Xian, Jiang Jibei's first reaction was the blue eyes in the mattress.

He couldn't help shivering: "Turn into a mattress and sleep with me? You can figure it out."

"...I didn't do it voluntarily either." Apparently Chi Xian also felt that he was a bit perverted in the movie, and he was powerless to defend himself, "I mean, if I had memories in the movie, I wouldn't hide it from you."

It seems that Chi Xian also experienced movies with a "new identity".

"What the hell are you? A thousand-year-old monster?" Jiang Jibei followed Chixian to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

He was really curious.

"A monster that can heal itself." Chi Xian explained, "It is a non-human being. 'We' live in the world as humans and hide among the crowd."

"How old are you?" Jiang Jibei couldn't help teasing, "You don't need to eat and drink, and you are willing to be a mattress for love?"

"I still have to eat..." Chi Xian avoided the age issue, and was vague about eating and drinking.

Pastries and drinks have been prepared on the coffee table, waiting for the arrival of the guests, Jiang Jibei picked up a glass of iced caramel macchiato, and said with a raised tone, "Huh?"

"In the 'memory', I will absorb nutrients and water while circulating blood with you. Because in theory, only two days have passed in the movie, so I didn't do that." Chi Xian confessed honestly and quickly clarified.

Jiang Jibei's hand froze when he picked up the coffee, and suddenly he couldn't drink it.

"Why is my memory different from that of the people around me? How many times have you changed my memory?" he asked.

"Humans don't know the existence of monsters, either because they died or because they forgot. This is the rule of the non-human camp. It is true that you encounter monsters. When you encounter those monsters, I protect you. And modified your memory, this is once. After merging with your blood, I adjusted the memory of you and the people around you on a large scale—to make you forget me."

Why is it so complicated?

Jiang Jibei raised his eyebrows and put down his coffee: "You don't need to change, I like whatever you become."

Chi Xian's expression looked pitiful: "That's not what you said in the movie."

"I'm sorry." Jiang Jibei couldn't help laughing, thinking that "Jiang Jibei" in the movie hurt "Chi Xian"'s heart.

Looking back on the plot, this horror film is indeed very twisted in Japanese culture.

Japanese-style horror films are mainly divided into three types: vengeance of the spirit, end-time scenes and horror farce. Most of the themes are about the struggle between love and desire.Films often tell sad stories of the past through flashbacks, interludes, flashbacks, etc., and recreate the dust-enclosed memories in front of the audience. *

Compared with the visual horrors piled up with flesh and blood and massacre scenes in European and American films, Japanese horror films tend to create delicate psychological horror, relying on all kinds of thoughtful and terrifying hints to bring the audience a tingling scalp and a chill down the spine of fear. *

Thinking of this, Jiang Jibei asked, "Are Teacher Nature and Chi Yiming also monsters?"

"No, they are human beings who are attracted to you." Chi Xian was sincere, and wanted to get rid of those two no matter whether it was in the movie or outside the movie, "But they were in the way, so I got rid of them."

"Chi Yiming was also eliminated?" Jiang Jibei thought of the unlucky brother who had never been heard from in the movie.

Chi Xian smashed the jar, with a cold expression on his face: "I'm a monster, and I don't have human morality."

"I know, I know."

Jiang Jibei raised the corners of his lips, picked up the coffee cup again, took a sip, and put it back on the table.

Chi Xian, however, was very concerned about his identity and behavior, so he had to explain clearly: "This is a customized movie, and characters other than the main character are played by AI or staff, and none of the experiencers were killed in the movie—"

"Okay, okay." Jiang Jibei comforted him.

Not necessarily outside of the movie.

"What's the matter with the pen fairy?" Jiang Jibei suddenly remembered the magical pen, "Is it trying to harm me, or is it trying to save me?"

Chi Xian explained to him: "In the beginning, what I summoned through a psychic ritual was an ordinary little animal spirit."

Jiang Jibei remembered that in the movie, Chi Xian did mention "little animal spirits", but there was an extra "but" after that.

But Chi Xian in the film did not explain clearly.

"At that time, I brought you to invite the pen fairy because I thought that the little animals were innocent and could be used as playmates for entertainment." Chi Xian continued, "Unexpectedly, because of your special physique, other evil spirits were summoned. It took the original After the little animal was devoured, it has been by your side. By the time I found out, it was already too late."

"The one who's been by my side all the time?"

"Yes." Chi Xian nodded, "I want to get rid of it, but I'm not good enough."

Jiang Jibei understood that the white paper in Chi Xian's drawer was the trace left when he fought with the pen fairy.

"When I was 15 years old, it took me to the rockery, but I didn't expect that I was saved by you, so it was not reconciled, and followed me for 11 years?"

"Yes." Chi Xian said, "I also fought against it for 11 years. He brought you back to 15 years old, let you see my true face, and then exposed me, wanting you to get rid of me."

As a result, after turning into a mattress, this kid's morality increased greatly, and when the two sides touched, Chi Xian devoured him all at once.

"Tsk." Jiang Jibei figured it out, raised his eyebrows and said, "This pen fairy is as persistent as you."

"I'm good, it's bad." Chi Xian said seriously.

Jiang Jibei laughed and stroked Chi Xian's black hair: "I know, you will protect me."

In the movie, Chi Xian can protect him, but outside of the movie, he also needs to protect Chi Xian.

"By the way, that brain detector is quite scary." Taking another sip of coffee, Jiang Jibei suppressed his smile, and his tone became serious, "It extracted fragments of memories in my brain, mixed them with half-truths and half-false in the script."

For example, a harmonious family and a gentle mother.

For example, Nie Ming, who shouldn't appear in the movie, is actually not dark and thin, but a strong and big guy.

For example, the pig-bellied chicken they called "little stammer", she is not on the island either.

Even the plots experienced in the movie before have been mixed together and become their "real experience".The land scroll from the folk film "On the Road", the award-winning but torn painting is actually from the Korean film "The Bully"...

feb did it, let them be on the scene, their memories are confused, and they can't tell what is real and what is virtual image.

Now Jiang Jibei thought of a more serious problem.

Since feb can obtain their daily memories through instruments, can they also extract their hidden secrets hidden deeper?

For example--

Memories related to Operations Classification.

Chi Xian seemed to have guessed what Jiang Jibei was worried about, and said: "I know what you are thinking, but feb's current technology is not in place, and there is no way to penetrate into the secrets that human beings consciously hide deep in their hearts."

Jiang Jibei nodded: "I can feel it."

Looking back carefully at the plot in "The Disappearing Old Friend", at the very beginning, because all memories were erased, his and Chi Xian's personalities were completely different from his own.

But in the later stage, their personal characteristics gradually returned to themselves, and they were no longer under the control of the film system.

As it stands, the system's control over them is limited.

"The current brain detector can only extract some superficial memories at most, but the side effects are already obvious, such as dizziness, vomiting...even hallucinations." Chi Xian continued, "If you forcibly extract hidden memories, you may directly Caused the death of the experiencer. The research of our Life Research Institute is related to this, and with these negative data, we have enough reasons to stop Feb's radical experiment."

"But you also have devices that have no side effects." Jiang Jibei pointed out.

"Yes." Chi Xian didn't expect Jiang Jibei to know this, "But it's because of the program that doesn't forcibly extract memory, so there are no side effects."

"Feb, what is it..." Jiang Jibei raised his hand and rubbed between his brows.

Chi Xian looked at him, and the two sat on the sofa, silent for a moment.

After a while, Jiang Jibei suddenly asked: "Ah Xian, do you feel that the relationship between 'us' in this movie is very similar to us in reality?"

Chi Xian didn't answer immediately, but looked at Jiang Jibei, waiting for him to continue.

"You in the movie suddenly disappeared. I went back through time and space to find you, but you were always by my side." Jiang Jibei said with a smile, "In reality you died suddenly. I went to the island to look for you, but you were always by my side." Watching me silently in the dark."

"I'm a bit perverted in the movie." Chi Xian tried to defend again, "But I'm not in reality."

"I know." Jiang Jibei sighed with a smile, and suddenly leaned over, resting his head on Chi Xian's shoulder.

Chi Xian's first reaction was to reach out and hug his brother's shoulder.

He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Jiang Jibei took a step ahead and said softly, "Shhh, let me hang around for a while."

Chi Xian immediately calmed down.

He embraced Jiang Jibei's shoulders, turned his head, and pressed his chin gently against Jiang Jibei's forehead.

Jiang Jibei said in a low voice: "Every time I escape from death, what I want to do the most is to hug you tightly, or to be hugged by you."

Chi Xian didn't answer, and gently tapped his fingers on Jiang Jibei's shoulder, comforting him gently.

Jiang Jibei rarely showed his vulnerable side.

Chi Xian knew that what his brother needed now was to vent his emotions, not someone to teach him what to do next.

"I'm so afraid that all this is a dream, I'm afraid that I'm still in the movie, and you are just a phantom in the virtual reality device."

Jiang Jibei quietly leaned against Chi Xian, expressing his fear in a calm tone.

How could he not be afraid?He's human too, and he's terrified too.

However, Jiang Jibei's fear was only because he was afraid of losing again.

"Will one day I wake up and find myself lying in bed with a device on my head, and all this is a dream I imagined? There is no film festival, and there is no you."

Speaking of this, Jiang Jibei laughed at himself.

Chi Xian's five fingers that were lightly resting on Jiang Jibei's shoulder instantly tightened.

"It's not a dream." He lowered his blue eyes, looked into Jiang Jibei's eyes, and said firmly, "I'm alive, and I'm by your side."
