After I died, I became a cat

====================================

In this era of interstellar colonization, the government encourages companies to open up wasteland on new planets. Under such a policy, New Emerald City is a testing ground established on remote planets.

Contrary to what Chen Erhuang, Ye Weidan and the others thought, the "ultra-close-up micro-optical real projection" technology that can completely change one's appearance is not allowed to be used in public on other planets.

It is more used in visual performances, certain entertainment venues, and fun in private spaces... like in bed.

Truth is what matters, people say.

"However, when the new Fei Leng Cui under construction was recruiting immigrants from all over the planet, because of this policy, applications came in floods, and even broke the record of the past 20 years." Lilith's voice echoed in front of the police station, she told Then, Teacher Qi Wang even saw those police officers who used the same face—it is said that this can effectively prevent prisoners from retaliation—crying silently, "The truth is the most important thing. If you are really ugly, then you are finished."

Because it is human instinct to pursue beauty, and it is also human instinct to dislike ugliness. No matter how nice the slogan is, there is no way to change the genes.

Who wouldn't want their colleagues to be a group of handsome men and beautiful women?

Who wouldn't want to look at someone more seductive?

Who doesn't want to be more beautiful?

In corporate recruitment interviews, if a beautiful woman has the same qualifications as an ugly woman, then the beautiful woman must win.

This is not unfair, because appearance is also a personal capital. Even if an ugly woman makes her other capital better through hard work, she is still comparable to a beautiful woman.

That is to say, in society, there is no need to compare with beautiful people, but with ordinary people. Ugly people have to work harder to achieve the same achievements. They are born to lose at the starting line.

"Some reporters accused me of saying that beauty is the same, but this group of people who were born at the starting line would not ask such a question. It is enough to make them walk in the sun dignifiedly and enjoy the same treatment as ordinary people. Keep them to their heart's content."

This beautiful woman with an appearance worth 18 points does not know what she has encountered before, and she seems to understand "ugly" people who are completely different from her.

She said: "Xin Fei Leng Cui provides them with this opportunity. I don't know if you take this city seriously. These former excluded people are living a happier life in Xin Fei Leng Cui than in the past."

Comfortable without knowing your new city of passing.

Friendly colleagues or classmates and teachers.

Well-meaning neighbors.

Regardless of gender, skin color, or age, people will no longer be viewed with colored glasses.

You won't be blamed for not doing your own thing because of your "hateful appearance"; you won't be interrogated by the police on the road because you "look like a bad guy"; you won't be on public transportation during morning and evening rush hours Grab a seat, but when you sit down, the people around you cast contemptuous glances, and then your surroundings are empty.

Such things do not happen to beautiful people.

Ordinary people don't encounter this kind of thing.

So, they just don't want to encounter this kind of thing, what's wrong?

"What's more, the models that Xinfei Lengcui provides to the citizens are not all exactly the same," Lilith said, "We have professional modelers who can customize the appearance one-on-one. Everything can be according to the wishes of the citizens. The risks of cosmetic surgery. Personalized decorations, thousands of options, some of which may cost money, but a core for a diamond necklace sells for a lot cheaper than a diamond necklace, doesn’t it?”

Someone sobbed at the gate of the police station.

Teacher Qi Wang stood there, seemingly indifferent, but actually said silently to Ye Weidan in the team channel: "I think she is right."

The loudspeaker was loud, Ye Weidan, who was a hacker in the police station, actually heard a sentence or two, and replied: "There is nothing wrong with the logic."

"It's good to want to help people," said Teacher Qi Wang, "Although I think the society where people change their faces is a bit scary, everyone can become who they want to be, and I can also become like Teacher Qitama. , it’s actually pretty good.”

"Becoming Saitama requires copyright."

"Too."

Teacher Qi Wang over there agreed, and Ye Weidan quickly checked several sections of surveillance, and found that the police did not collect clues about Cha Xinxin's disappearance at all.

The 17-year-old anchor couldn't help frowning.

"Don't be led astray by her," Ye Weidan said, "The key point is Cha Xinxin."

"Oh, I was so touched, I almost forgot." Teacher Qi Wang replied.

The next moment, the bald boy shouted, "You're right, but what's wrong with Cha Xinxin! She's a new media editor, right? Can she still shake your policies?"

"She has always opposed Xin Fei Leng Cui's policy!" Lilith seemed excited.

But even if she gets excited, she can articulate very clearly, her speech is organized, and her speech skills are very good, which proves that this 18-point beauty is perfect in every aspect. The city's policy, but those guys who use 'truth' and 'nature' to fool people are still coming to this city for the first time.

"There is nothing we can do about using public opinion on the city's intranet. She has the freedom of speech. But last night, on the second day of the annual fashion show in the city, she actually sneaked into the backstage of the master control and stole the money that maintains the entire fashion show. Energy battery for projection—you probably don’t understand that using appearance projection also requires energy. Many people use it together, and the demand for energy is particularly high. This battery is a special design. Without it, the last fashion show tonight will even Unable to start normally.

"In Xinfei Lengcui, the carnival fashion show is almost like a New Year's party, which is very important to us."

Ye Weidan said in the team channel: "But this is not the reason for her to kill us."

Teacher Qi Wang repeated: "But that's not the reason for you to kill us."

There was a moment of silence on the other side.

After a while, Lilith exhaled slowly, and then said: "Before Cha Xinxin disappeared, she sent a communication to a number that we couldn't track down, and then threatened us that someone was sent to deal with us. And you, she was indeed called to deal with you." Ours, isn't it? As soon as you get out of the airport, go straight to the place where she was last seen. Are you killers? Or mercenaries? I can't take risks. I have to protect this city, this warm and beautiful place, this shelter for all citizens... ...the best city in the universe!"

***

I really have never seen a place worse than this, Chen Erhuang thought.

One message after another flashed on the team channel, but the little black cat had no time to look at it.He climbed to the highest point of the city, a tall tower near the Minghuan Cultural Center, which was similar to a sky tree, and used the assassin Hawkeye in the wind at a height of several thousand meters... No, it was reconnaissance.

[Detection check, 1D100=40, difficult success]

Below, the night lights of the entire city flickered, with him as the center, spreading out along the place he looked at.

Clean white building?

tidy road?

Beautiful landscaping?

No, not at all.

For some reason, after becoming a ghost, all holographic projections lost their effect in his eyes.Customer service 099856 said that it was probably the reason for the improvement of spirit vision after transformation, but Chen Erhuang felt that it was not that simple.

Seeing through the falsehood, it seems that there was once...

In the sky, what Chen Erhuang saw was a tall building that had not been maintained since the completion of the construction. The once white outer wall was stained with different shades of mottled by the rain, and the wet place was covered with moss.

Even if this lowest higher plant dies, it still leaves countless green and dirty marks on the walls and floors.

The walls in some places even cracked, and the buildings in some places even collapsed. This is not like a city with millions of people living, but more like the classic ruins background in doomsday movies.

But people in this city still live in it, like worker ants, from one crumbling building to another crumbling building.

The same is true on the roads. It can be seen that the design and planning are good, but urban roads are the same as urban buildings. Once they are not maintained, they will become indistinguishable from their original appearance in a few years.

Those cracks and potholes on the ground have never been dealt with by humans, they are just covered up by holographic projections, and then people are not allowed to leave.

The greening is even more so. Chen Erhuang finally understood why he couldn't find the camera among the flowers. Those unnatural fake flowers covered by projections were the cameras themselves.

False, all are false.

What kind of benefits are there for people in this city to live here?Chen Erhuang glanced at the team channel and saw Ye Weidan discussing with Mr. Qi Wang, so he had no doubts.

Is it because of the face?

Chen Erhuang, who has been a handsome guy since he was a child, asked this question, and he might feel why he doesn't eat minced meat, so he decided to join the sea of ​​the people to have a look.

The little black cat jumped down from the high tower. Although there was no straw pile below to catch him, the ghost body was not afraid of falling to death.

After falling down, he didn't choose, but went directly to the nearest passerby.

A man who is less likely to be discriminated against for his appearance than a woman.

He is a student who has just graduated and is looking for a job. His appearance is ordinary. In Chen Erhuang's eyes, he is far from the point where he needs to cover up his true face.With a dejected look, he stood by the side of the street and called his parents.

"Mom, can you give me some more money?"

"Well, I inquired about it privately, and the interviewer said that it's so easy to tidy myself up now, but I still use the free face and free suit models..."

"It's the same with Company M. They require all interviewees to have a uniform image in order to better judge everyone's ability, but that image model has to be bought..."

"Yes, I need more appearance models after work...I will save it."

The male college student hung up the phone, and the little black cat flicked its tail and ran to another direction.

There, a group of female high school students who have just finished school are going home together.

"The characters in the crew of "Venus Falls in Love with Me" are all good-looking, and I like the heroine."

"I prefer the third female."

"Let's have a COS event for all members of "Venus Falls in Love with Me"! What character do you choose, A-Dong?"

"...Sorry, I'm going home first."

"Yeah, I know, I don't have money to buy it, right? Your parents are too strict about your pocket money? What's the point of using a face every day. Ah, Adong, I'm not talking about you, you go back first .”

"Let's go! Today is Venus Carnival Day!"

Chen Erhuang saw a girl with short hair leave the crowd silently, and another group of girls walked in the opposite direction.

With crisp laughter still in my ears, Chen Erhuang passed through the wall and ran into a fast food restaurant.

"What's the matter with you?"

In the back kitchen, the supervisor criticized a waiter.

"I told you that you are not allowed to remove the smiling face. If you hadn't removed the smiling face, would the guests have punched you so much?"

"But……"

"In the appearance settings, change the expression to manual change, and then upload this smiley face, it's very simple, don't you know how to do this?"

"But……"

"But what! If it weren't for the more expensive manual service, our store wouldn't hire a waiter like you. Don't think it's enough to chat with a few customers. Who really knows you, huh?"

"But……"

The big boy of the waiter who said nothing kept bleeding on his face.

No one saw it.

Chen Erhuang also couldn't see the holographic projection advertisements on the street, but he could still hear the sound of those advertisements.

"You need this."

"Without decoration, projection decoration, a small dwelling can be turned into a luxury hotel."

"This face will help you beat recruiting season!"

"The most popular makeup look nowadays, buy eyebrows and get a blush color that can be used for projection!"

"Personal design, clothing projection, everything."

"Is there something wrong? Change your face."

"To reshape your beauty, you only need 880. Xin Fei Leng Cui Fashion Group will provide you with the best service."

"Hey."

Customer service 099856 sent Chen Erhuang's sigh to the team channel.

"You still know it!" For some reason, Ye Weidan looked very angry again.

"I didn't expect Cha Xinxin to be the villain. Anyway, this Ms. Lilith has done so much to fight against appearance discrimination. It can be said that she is spending her own money for charity." Teacher Qi Wang is still talking about the plot of this dungeon.

"charitable?"

"Isn't that considered charity?" Teacher Qi Wang said.

Chen Erhuang returned to the high place again.

Below, the citizens of Xin Fei Leng Cui City, who were moving like an ant colony, showed their real expressions hidden under the projection, and there was no smile.

"Damn charity," the little black cat's eyes were full of pity, "it's just a business of creating demand and then selling models."

Ye Weidan: After all, they just ignore me!
