Interlude Reality 02: Reason and Matter Prologue: Colorful Modern Life
'Les Miserables DLC - Pale Justice is released! Players can preview the real scene data first! '
“…”
As soon as he exited the game, Li Lin saw a huge word projected on the forum in front of him. This expansion pack CG, which was quickly read and captured by the art AI, was quickly pinned to the top of the forum by the official, and its popularity was rising at a terrifying speed every moment.
Anyway, in this era, if you apply for a permission, everything can be done by an artist. It is said that this developer has been included in the scope of Class B permissions because of its creative use of high AI for commercial operation and its major breakthrough in human spiritual entertainment. As a Class B user, the resources and AI computing mechanisms used will naturally increase, and it looks very contagious.
After all, AI can understand humans better than humans themselves after inputting algorithms, so there is no need to worry too much about this little thing. However, the vague keywords on the promotional pages caught Li Lin's attention. Compared with the previous clear announcements, this time the announcement of the Pale Justice expansion pack was vague and the wording was very vague. It can be seen that it was made by the game company itself to be mysterious, and there is no connotation in it. On the contrary, there are more comments around that video, saying that it is full of real scenes of players and looks very shocking.
But since it is a real scene, I should appear in those few times as well, right?
Li Lin wasn't bragging, he felt that if he couldn't make it, then there would be few people in the game who could.
Soon, the picture on the projector gradually changed. With the slightly sad background music, the picture became darker, and the language of the camera seemed to tell a heavy story . Soon, with the heavy and desolate background sound, the picture on the screen gradually became clearer. But in the whole black and white picture, there was only a pale hand with blood flowing from the wrist on the floor, collapsed weakly, which looked extremely glaring.
'The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, has always been a lie promoted by violence. They plunder our little hope and wealth through various means, turning everything we have into scorched earth and dust. These monsters call this freedom, but I know very well that all this is their excuse. They just want to do this.'
The deep baritone narration spoke slowly, and the pale picture suddenly turned into a scene full of dark red tones.
It was a first-person perspective of an escape scene, with everything around engulfed in flames. Groups of people in strange costumes kept shouting around the burning buildings, throwing torches at the unburned buildings. The owner of the video cried helplessly while watching the scene, helplessly stretched out his hand towards the charred village, but was directly grabbed by the shoulders and turned around. The face in the shadows showed a grim smile, and then raised the butcher knife and chopped it down.
The screen suddenly became dark, and the sad background music sounded again. The screen once again returned to the bloody palm and floor, but compared to the original gray-white screen, the current appearance became slightly brighter. The blood became even more crimson.
'They don't care about your life or your thoughts, they only care about themselves. You can't be their friend because they can kill you at any time.'
The scene changed again, and in the magnificent hall, a man with a kind face shook his head firmly at the tempting persuasion of the strangely dressed man in front of him. But before he could say anything, a sharp sword pierced out of his chest.
The man in front of it had lost his patience and directly pierced the chest of the kind-looking man with a long sword. In his desperate eyes, he continued to plunder everything around him, and then the door was pushed open by a pair of small hands. A sweet and lovely little girl looked at the man in strange clothes with a confused look. And with the man's meaningful smile, the picture suddenly dimmed.
'Light and darkness, life and death, are as inseparable as justice and evil, this is their common argument. Without the contrast of darkness, there would be no justice, this is what they say. However, are these really related? Darkness under light is due to obstacles, life will die because of violence and fate, and justice and evil are just the division of the human heart. They are not natural, but from themselves. They are very aware of their own loopholes and weaknesses, and they cover them up. They sneer at legitimate actions and justice through violence and speech. Such humans are no different from beasts.'
'So we have to fight, we have to fight against all the injustice and darkness. There is no excuse, no reason, every kind-hearted creature will join us, because justice is not anywhere, it only exists in the heart of each of us! Only all the promises and good deeds that we fulfill with our own hands, only against atrocities and oppression, only with strength to repay the tears shed by heroes, is the real justice! '
The voice gradually became suppressed and passionate. The blood flowing from the wrist on the screen gradually flowed back, and the gray-white picture gradually became flesh and blood. The originally dead palm trembled slowly, then clenched into a fist and hit the screen with force. The camera suddenly became pitch black.
Then, an emotionless voice sounded.
"The planet has been purified, the frontline outpost has been established, and the vanguard team requests to return."
In the picture, a pair of pupils with burning crosses slowly close, making people feel excited as if there is fire burning.
“…”
How can I put it? I want to die.
Looking at the closed eyes on the screen, Li Lin inexplicably felt a sense of shame.
What was even more embarrassing was that a message came from the personal terminal, saying that little girl Zhang Lingmeng was waving at Li Lin with an excited look on her face.
"Brother, I recognized it! The last voice in the Les Miserables promotional video was you, right? It must be you, right? The voiceprint data is 100% consistent. I didn't expect that you like playing games with your real voice..."
“…”
Let me die.
Looking at the little girl who was overjoyed in the communication, Li Lin couldn't help but think.
