Chapter 61: copy ends

"Growing up show?" Josh's frowning brows suddenly loosened due to doubts, he remembered his character's log, "Could it be that... A02 went from adoption to growing up, to work and illness , being cloned... it's all just a reality show."

“It is possible, it can be seen from many places.” An Wujiu said, “Especially the ubiquitous cameras on the A floor.”

This possibility is beyond everyone's imagination, but Yang Erci is not surprised, she quickly thought of the list of movies she saw in the fourth floor laboratory, the last one is "The Truman World" .

Maybe A02 is really like Truman in the movie, all the social relationships he has are part of the experiment, part of this growth show.

So she also asked: "Excuse me, was this experiment planned by A01's father?"

A circle appears on the screen.

"Yes."

"And then continued from A01?" Yang Erci continued to ask.

"Yes."

Two times must have basically laid the plot trend.

An Wujiu rationalized his thoughts, "We now know at least that A02 is nominally the management of this shelter, the adopted son of the former manager, and the younger brother and lover of the current manager, but In fact, he is actually an important experiment in this shelter. Judging from A02's character, he has been cultivated to be kind and dedicated to those children, so the content of this experiment is likely to be 'everything for mankind' The slogan will continue, and the gene-edited A02 clone will be used as a continuation to ensure that the experiment will not be interrupted."

"For what purpose? Just raising a child?" Josh asked.

"It may be brainwashing with beliefs, let's see what kind of person this child will grow into in the end." Nan Shan proposed a conjecture.

Yang Erci thinks it is possible, "Perhaps they also set up a control group to conduct experiments, such as clones without positive guidance and incomplete memory."

After she finished speaking, she looked in the direction of the screen, "Am I right?"

The system's answer confirmed her guess.

"Yes."

This can explain why some A02s have very bad personalities, but in his own video, he looks upright.

"They just selected a child with a pathological defect from countless abandoned babies, and under artificial control, let him grow into a perfect child that can continue."

Hearing this, Shen Ti felt uncomfortable and wanted to move, but he didn't move, because he was very close to An Wujiu, if there was any movement in him, An Wujiu might not will sink deeper.

"You can almost describe it to the system, right?"

"Wait," Zhong Yirou said, "It's not just the ins and outs, the system requires the truth to be more than 80% similar, and we still have a lot of omissions, such as..."

She thought about it, "Every character we represent belongs."

“We are all dead.” An Wu Jiao said very directly.

"All dead..." Wu You looked at Shen Ti, "Including A01?"

An Wujiu nodded, "Everyone, from the time we initialized this game, all died. The scar on Yirou Nanshan's neck should have been killed by them. Marks. You were probably pressed into a bathtub or something, you had water on your knees, your upper body was soaking wet, maybe you were forced to kneel by the bathtub.”

"But how do you explain that they died during the editing process?" Wu You said, "My journal is not finished editing."

“It’s easy to handle.” An Wujiu said, “First of all, you don’t have to write before the host, maybe you only need permission, secondly, A02 is an acquaintance, plus you are writing him Things you can't see. If he suddenly appears, think about it, will you turn it off temporarily and get up to deal with him?"

Wu You nodded.

An Wujiu looked at Yang Erci, "Your throat was cut, I suspect it was cut with tools from the B05 laboratory."

"What about A01?" Nan Shan looked at them, "There is no wound on his body."

“We both have watches on our hands.” An Wujiu took Shen Ti’s wrist very naturally, “And they are all broken watches, the time on Shen Ti’s watch stopped at 10 It was 3:19 a.m. on the 8th, and mine was around 3:20 a.m. that day.”

“The most important point.” An Wujiu put down Shen Ti’s hand, “I have the same smell as him.”

Wu You and Nan Shan squinted at the same time.

“No.” An Wujiu reluctantly denied it, guessing that they had misunderstood, Shen Ti kept laughing beside him.

"It's bitter almond smell, very light, maybe I'm more sensitive, I've only smelled this smell on him and me."

Yang Erci understood, "You mean cyanide?"

An Wujiu nodded, "I speculate that A02 poisoned A01 that night, and at the same time took the poison and committed suicide."

After hearing all this, Nan Shan suddenly thought of what she said on the first floor before, the bad feng shui here.

"The zigzag-shaped structure blocks fortune and feng shui does not work well. And a long time ago, some places would build baby towers, which were very small, and they would throw unwanted babies in them and let them grow on their own. Most of them are baby girls."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the others, "I think this building is built in such a shape, and the structure of each floor is very likely to lock the children who died inside. , but in the end it was the seven of us who died."

"This statement is quite creative." Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, "So, the game starts at twelve o'clock in the evening, and the last person dies at three in the morning, maybe The first person died around twelve o'clock, which is just in time for the log keeping time."

An Wujiu felt terrible, "So this game, in fact, let us players replace the ghosts of the dead to return to the first floor, and use our own eyes to discover and experience this place from beginning to end. Darkness and ugliness, 72 hours, if you can't unlock the secrets of the containment center, you will be trapped here forever, and you will have a chance to leave when you unlock it."

Nan Shan nodded, "It's very possible that there was a tradition of three days before burial a long time ago, and the 72 hours here may mean that."

"It turned out to be like this..." Josh sighed, "We are like ghosts who lost their memories after death, trapped in this building."

Things became clearer.

An Wugui was cautious and thought about it carefully, not only describing the ins and outs of the matter, including everything that the containment center did, to the system, and waiting for the final result with others.

"Analyzing results."

"Accuracy rates are now published."

A number appears on the screen.

"The similarity between the results of your analysis and the truth is about 95%, congratulations to you for completing this task, and this is the first time that all players have passed this level since the opening of this round of the game dungeon. "

Most of them may not have died in the previous level.

"Is this a record breaking?" Shen Ti raised the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look at An Wujiu.

“It’s not necessarily true yet.” An Wu Jiu said lightly.

The screen suddenly played some surveillance images, and the people inside had the exact same face as An Wu Jiu.

It turns out that the system needs to restore them in this way.

In the picture, A02 grew up as a child to become the pillar of the shelter. Every day is very busy. In order to give the children a better life and a better future, he almost devoted most of his energy.

What he didn't know was that these jobs were actually a hoax and that he was working for something that didn't exist, even something that went against his values ​​and beliefs.

What he believes to be colleagues, such as B05 and C04, are in fact the engineers who edited his genes, E06 and E07, to preserve and process his clones. And D03, who has always been regarded as a friend, is only a "made" friend.

Even the "lover" is fake.

Except for work, the remaining time A02 is all used to chase A01. A02 on the screen has An Wujiu's face on his face, showing affection to his titular brother A01 in every possible way, and eventually they became an underground couple.

"You don't have to use the player's face to model..." Wu You looked at this extremely OOC scene and felt very uncomfortable.

Shen Ti sighed shamelessly, "Fortunately, I look good."

An Wujiu glanced at him, unexpectedly, some images that are not suitable for children began to appear on the screen.

Nan Shan immediately lowered Wu You's hat to the lowest level and covered her eyes, "Don't look at it, children."

Yang Erci shook her head speechlessly and turned her face to the side, but Zhong Yirou opened her eyes wide and began to appreciate it carefully.

"You two...forget it."

The monitoring even recorded the **** of A01 and A02 as material.

At first, An Wu Jiao was still watching with an exploratory heart, but suddenly his face burned.

He didn't know whether it was because the person in the video was holding his face, or because the other person looked exactly like Shen Ti.

In the sea, there was an unfamiliar aura that An Wu Jiu had never seen before.

Weird and embarrassing.

An Wujiu lowered his eyes and waited for this period to pass, he thought he was pretending to be calm, after all, no one knew what he was thinking.

But the red ears betrayed him.

Just as this episode was about to end, when A01 put on his clothes and was about to leave, the silent Shen Ti let out a long sigh.

"Alas."

An Wujiu turned his face, "What are you doing?"

Seeing his indifferent expression, Shen Ti smiled, "I won't tell you."

Monitoring and updating, A01's performance even in bed is recorded in the growth show's experimental manual. Once A02's body is perceived to be getting worse, it will directly start the "inheritance" experiment, that is, collect the current clone The memory of the body, then euthanize the current one, resuscitate the next one, and transplant the memory into it.

He typed a line.

[This experiment will provide great value for mankind to achieve immortality. ]

It turns out that A02 is just a small screw to promote the future of mankind.

It's just a live experiment.

On the screen, A01 was controlling the system when A02 suddenly came in, saying that he was going to give him a surprise, and covered A01's eyes with his hands.

A01 was afraid of being exposed, so he shut down the system when he closed his eyes in a hurry, causing the system to have bugs during self-healing.

In fact, the bug is not big, but the authority of layer E is delegated to all staff, including A02.

The curious A02 entered the E layer and found that countless bodies of their own were frozen in the liquid nitrogen chamber.

He discovered everything that followed.

The moment the scam was exposed, A02 lost everything, including his identity.

He is nothing, not even a separate human being.

And his unshakable faith has been completely shattered. This is not a paradise for saving children at all, but a cannibal hell. The children he cherishes have no freedom at all, and even lose life, and he himself is not a savior, just an experiment.

The seven people in the fluid swamp fell silent as they watched A02 cry.

None of them can understand this tragic life.

So on the night of October 7, A02 started killing people from the E floor and went all the way to the top floor.

He put the highly toxic substances and red wine brought from the B floor, changed his blood-stained clothes, and came to the room of A01.

In the video, A02 smiled poignantly with An Wu Jiu's face, he could easily win the love and pity of anyone, maybe because of this, he also got a rare sincere kiss from A01.

After the kiss, he said to A02, "I'm going to make our relationship public."

"Don't you like children? We also adopt one and treat it as our child."

Adopt?

Choose another test item?

A02 said yes with a smile, and then handed the red wine to his hand.

Unpreparedly, A01 took a sip, then put his arms around A02's waist, and said half-truth love words.

And A02 also leaned meekly on his shoulder, "I really love you, from the first time I saw you."

"No," he smiled, "the first face I saw you from my body."

A01's expression suddenly changed, he let go of the hug, backed away, and before he could ask, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

A02 reached out and wiped the corner of his mouth for him, "My memory is either flawed or repeated, but there is one thing, no matter how many times it is copied, I firmly believe."

"I love you."

"What about you?" A02's eyes no longer have light spots, "Do you remember who I am?"

A01's blood continued to pour out, dyeing the new shirt that A02 gave him, as well as the couple's watch bought for him.

Without waiting for an answer, A02 kissed A01, mixing blood and poison, to put an end to their deceit with no survivors.

"Brother, let's go to **** together."

The monitor has been recording to the end, the good and the ugly, the deceit and the sincerity, the calculation and the revenge, each of which has been turned into data and saved forever.

The system emits a sound.

"This is the hidden story of this round of the game."

The fluid that imprisoned them disappeared, and everyone regained their freedom.

And the huge screen slowly descended into an incomplete puzzle.

An Wujiu found that the pieces of the puzzle were shaped like their keys.

The system tells them: "After the key puzzle is completely restored, you will be instructed to type trueend and leave the game."

All the key fragments were on An Wujiu's body, An Wujiu reached out, but the fragments in his pocket were gone.

"What you're looking for is here."

It was Josh who spoke, and he spread his hands, with shining fragments stacked between them.

Wu You frowned, "What are you doing? Why are you taking key fragments?"

Everyone was more or less surprised by the development of things, An Wugui was very calm, as expected.

"You have a special mission, right?" An Wujiu took a step closer and turned his back on the guest, "Let me think...you are a player who will be resurrected soon, and you are doing enough NPC missions. After that, coming here is your last chance to become a player, right?"

Josh's face was stubborn, and after being exposed, he smiled and confessed, "Yes, I am, now I have to clear the customs by myself."

Speaking, he walked directly to the broken puzzle with the fragments in his hand, and restored the fragments somewhat irrationally.

"Brother Wu."

Wu You glanced at An Wu Jiu.

"Let him go." An Wu Jiu let it go, staring at Josh's back, watching him work hard for his resurrection.

"Actually, I already noticed it, and even knew when you took the fragments."

Josh stopped.

“I am a very cautious person, every fragment here means the life and death of the seven of us, so I keep it very carefully.” An Wujiu’s eyes were indifferent, “Only in the fluid, My lower body was completely immersed in it, and I was so busy asking questions that I couldn't take care of it. At that time, through your special means, you took all the pieces, right?"

"I just use you to collect all the pieces." Josh didn't look back, "When did you find out?"

An Wujiu smiled, "You really don't have any flaws, because you didn't hurt anyone, you even gritted your teeth and endured the pain to help us complete our mission."

"But since the system has set a special character, it will inevitably set up clues for players to discover his existence."

"And this clue is the playing card you found at that time."

"Playing cards?" Wu You frowned, thinking of something, "Ghost cards."

An Wujiu nodded, "Yes, Josh, you know that playing cards will reveal your identity, so you deliberately did some small tricks, if I guess right, the one you are wearing now There must be traces of glue sticking on the back of cube 3."

Shen Ti smiled and began to applaud while watching the excitement.

"Yeah, you're right." Josh didn't turn around, but admitted, "I just ripped off your diamond 2, and then ripped off the ghost card stuck behind the diamond 3, Create the illusion that the number 2 card disappears and there is a ghost card hidden in the box, and point the clues to the metaphor of A02's death."

"You already found out, why didn't you expose me?"

Josh pasted the last piece of the puzzle in his hand.

"Because it's not necessary."

An Wujiu walked towards him, "This is not a zero-sum game, since we can all survive, why not do it?"

"I was indeed used by you, but from another angle, you also made the necessary sacrifices for our customs clearance. Without you, we can't pass the fourth floor."

Josh's hand was shaking a little, he took it down and looked at the puzzle in front of him, plus the words they collected before, it was a paragraph.

Everythingisahoax. (everything is a scam)

AchildconSecration.

Thisisyoursin.(This is your sin)

Itrulyloveyoudeeply.

Thisisourrevenge.

Nobodyisinnocent.

___shouldbedestroyed. (___should be destroyed)

Weshallbeburnedinhell.

A word is missing.

Josh turned his head and frowned at An Wujiu.

"Here I am."

Shen Ti stretched out his hand, holding the last fragment between his fingers.

"You still have a hand." Josh said.

Shen Ti smiled and stepped forward, "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, not to mention knowing that there are two or five boys among us, of course, we must keep one hand on me who is the most reliable."

He embraced An Wujiu's shoulder and shook it, "Right."

An Wujiu thinks that he is like a successful puppy now, or the kind of success that the Paws team made great achievements.

"Yes, you are the most reliable."

"Why doesn't it feel like a compliment?" Shen Ti walked over, put the last piece of the puzzle in place, and patted it.

"Eat it." Shen Ti opened it and distributed the chocolate to everyone.

"Let's eat." Wu You was a little suspicious.

An Wu Jiu took Shen Ti's bag, took out his own, there was one left.

"Eat, do you remember the puzzle just now? That's the password of the hidden head. The first letter of each sentence is connected to 'eatitnow', and the last piece is written organization ,organize."

"So it is."

Everyone else ate it with confidence, An Wujiu finally handed the chocolate bag with one left to Josh.

Josh's big eyes looked at An Wu Jiao, a little suspicious, and looked pitiful.

"Are you sure you want me?"

“Of course.” An Wujiu ate his chocolate, “I’ve been acting for so long.”

"Aren't you afraid that I will go out by myself and kill you?"

An Wujiu smiled, "I guess you shouldn't kill other players in your resurrection mission, if there is, you'd probably have done it long ago, because you are one to six , is weak and weak, it is impossible to hide to the end, at least it will attack Yirou, who is physically weak."

"But you don't, so I judge that you don't have such a task, you just need to go out alive. Of course, you go out by yourself and get the most points."

Shen Ti next to An Wujiu, "More than that, if you hide so much, I'm afraid there is still the task of concealing your identity. If you are discovered, you will fail."

“So I didn’t expose you.” An Wujiu said.

"But you exposed yourself."

"Yes, the hide mission failed."

An Wujiu asked, "But you shouldn't fail completely because of your identity exposure, you can still be resurrected."

Josh's mood was complicated, he didn't understand why An Wujiu wanted to help him, to condone his lies and betrayal, but he felt sad because no one cared about his life or death.

Perhaps because of this, when he could hide, he still chose to be shocked by Wu You's instigation.

An Wu Jiao is a person who can easily influence others.

A holographic projection appeared where the puzzle once hung, and there was only one problem.

[Leave the containment center? ]

The following is either [Yes] or [No].

He raised his hand, intending to press [Yes] to leave, even though he knew it was useless now.

An Wujiu grabbed his hand and pressed [No].

Josh thought it was An Wujiu regretting it, "Are you crazy? So you can't go out!"

An Wujiu let go of his hand and calmly said, "This is not trueend."

Sure enough, after choosing [No], the complete system of the containment center appeared in the holographic projection, including those underground experiments and corresponding data.

This is the hint given in the last two sentences of the puzzle.

An Wujiu and Shen Ti used the authority of A01 and A02 to organize and send everything the containment center did to the outside world, revealing the ugly truth, and finally disintegrating and deleting the authority of the entire organization.

"You didn't realize that we didn't actually see a few real children."

An Wujiu said, "Those alienated monsters are not actually children, it is our characters who are alienated, and their obsessions and fears have transformed all monsters."

Yang Erci understood, "The children were released by A02."

An Wujiu nodded and entered a line of words.

"Burning the abandoned baby shelter."

A fire came suddenly and devoured everything.

In the flames, all seven of them also disappeared.

"Congratulations to the seven players who cleared the level and became survivors, setting a new record for the survival of all players in this round.

No players eliminated this round. When the identity of the resurrected player is revealed, the reward points for this round will be lost. "

"Go to checkout."

They fell into a pure white void and kept falling.

An Wujiu opened his eyes, the person closest to him was Shen Ti.

He is a man who has to answer all questions.

So after confirming that she survived, An Wujiu couldn't help but speak.

"I have a question for you."

Falling too fast, the hunting wind pulled the distance between the two, blowing innocent long hair.

Shen Ti reached out and grabbed his arm during the fall.

"What are you asking?"

“You…” An Wujiu hesitated for a second, but only for a second, “Why did you say wow?”

Shen Ti reacted for a while, looking a little stunned, but soon laughed.

It was this one.

A meaningless pure white is reflected in An Wujiu's pupils, but the green eyes, red corals, and everything in Shen Ti are colorful and seem to be sparkling.

"I might offend you."

Their speed slowed down, and gradually fell to the ground, An Wugui's feet landed slowly, a lock of hair stuck to his cheek.

"It's hard for me to be offended."

"Okay, then I'll tell the truth." Shen Ti thought what he said was cute and a little funny. When he saw his face, he subconsciously reached out and gently brushed the strand of hair. face side.

"I admit, after seeing the video, I had a little, little, little, kind of weird, inexplicable..."

An Wujiu stared at him and listened to his last two words.

"...expect."
