Chapter 274 NO.0111: Leave a message

Although Jiang Zhou himself has not tried it, in the memories of Liao Qi and Jim, he has had the experience of watching a simulated movie.

Simply put, that feeling is like being fixed in the first-person perspective, and then the experience of every detail comes from the various perceptions of another person.

Almost all works of art are divided into two major factions, romantic and realistic, according to their different emphasis on the restoration of the objective world and subjective feelings. But no art form is as clear-cut as simulation, just because of the different production techniques.

Works performed by amateurs without the knowledge of the simulated shooter are realistic works.

Works performed by amateurs with the knowledge of the shooter and the active cooperation of the director team are romantic works.

The former often focuses on real emotional experience, while the latter focuses more on exaggerated sensory experience.

Yes, in the experience of simulation, the realists are more freehand, while the romanticists focus more on sensory experience.

However, Jiang Zhou is completely unable to tell which school the simulated movie "Double Body" belongs to.

The "I" he played in the simulation, whether in terms of emotional feelings or sensory experiences, he was almost able to completely immerse himself in it.

But this is too strange...

Jiang Zhou thought.

At this moment, the clerk he played was scolded by his boss because of his mistakes at work, and returned to his job dejectedly.

Whether it was the hot cheeks when he found out that he had made a mistake, or the disgusting feeling of being spitted on his face by the boss, or the tremor of his mood when the other party slammed the table, and the rising anger and helplessness when thinking about the loan... Those emotions were so real, no different from his own personal experience.

If you look at it from this perspective, then this is undoubtedly a realistic work - the actors were implanted with simulation recording equipment without knowing it, and their emotions were recorded in detail.

Because no matter how professional the actors are, even Shelly Duvall (Note*), who was mentally weakened by Kubrick during the filming of "The Shining", will never really equate the movies they shoot with reality.

But on the other hand, when Jiang Zhou was scolded by his boss, he had a strange and exaggerated illusion in his senses - he felt like a character in a funny cartoon, shrinking under the boss's spit, and finally turned into a little man who could only tremble and look up at the boss.

Alice illusion...

Looking at the exaggerated change in the proportion of the character, Jim instantly felt extremely familiar.

This is almost exactly the same as the ability "Alice Illusion" of Orpheus Path Depth 2 - he used this ability to kill the cyber madman before.

In addition, as far as he knows, some psychotropic drugs seem to be able to achieve similar effects. It's just that doing so is unlikely to be so accurate - the human brain is a sophisticated system that affects the whole body, and it is impossible to produce such a precise illusion simply by relying on chemical drugs.

Even he himself needs to inject the cerebral fluid containing the nanomachine [Lyre] into the other person's body to achieve such precise illusion control. If there is no support from other dark web technologies, it is difficult to achieve this effect by relying on simulacrum shooting technology.

Because of this, Jiang Zhou became more and more curious about how the simulated film "Double" was made.

It's not a fairy tale or a realistic fantasy novel. If it were a realistic work, no one with a normal mind would think that it is natural for him to shrink when he is scolded.

Thinking of this, the clerk he played had already sat back in his cubicle. When his colleague saw him, he asked in surprise:

"Why are you back so soon? Didn't you just say that you were going downstairs to buy coffee?"

Is it the "evil double" in the plot that is making trouble again?

Jiang Zhou thought.

The first half of this simulated film is always in a weird atmosphere - a few cans of milk in the refrigerator are missing for no reason; I fell asleep halfway through writing the manuscript, and found that the manuscript had been finished when I woke up; I turned off the TV before going to bed, but was woken up by a late-night show in the middle of the night...

It's as if there is another invisible self in my life.

Just like what happened just now, he was clearly in the editor-in-chief's office to be scolded, but his colleague said that he was here before and was going to buy coffee.

The colleague's words made fear surge into "my" emotions.

In addition to the fear, there was a feeling that he was being spied on.

Jiang Zhou watched the protagonist take him to the workstation, and then quickly opened the display interface.

As "I" expected, the previous work document showed "edited".

It is likely related to the feature article in which the editor-in-chief reprimanded him before...

Jiang Zhou thought.

His sight was controlled by "I" to look at the text on the document, and the bold text on it instantly caught his eyes.

Then... Jiang Zhou was stunned.

[I don't know when you will read this paragraph, but your soul has been trapped in the virtual fantasy of Eden for twenty years. About one to three days later, the whole world will be reset. You can try to leave the Eden resettlement area, so you will find that this world is fictional and understand that what I said is true]

[I am trying to break the illusion, but I need allies whose consciousness will not be reset every time they reincarnate. If you can still remember what you see now in the next reincarnation, please find me at the coordinates shown in the URL at the end]

[Don't try to tell others about this. They won't believe you. This may expose your identity and attract the administrator here]

[Be careful of those guys with black sun symbols on their bodies. They are the administrators of this illusion. Don't let them find out that you know the truth, otherwise everything you exist will be completely deprived]

[Please, please succeed]

[In this world with countless reincarnations and no real future, I am very lonely]

Seeing this, Jiang Zhou wanted to take a deep breath.

But under the simulation, he couldn't control the protagonist of the simulation to do this - he couldn't even control the protagonist to look down quickly so that he could see the URL.

After complaining in his heart, his sight moved down with the protagonist of the simulation. But just when he was about to see the URL attached to the article by the other party... a sound like a switch sounded, and his eyes instantly became dark.

"Click!"

"Fuck! I haven't finished watching it yet!"

It wasn't Jiang Zhou, but a big brother sitting in front of him yelled.

For some reason, the projection machines in the entire virtual projection hall stopped. After a moment of silence, complaints came from the entire venue.

Jiang Zhou and his group took off their helmets and looked around.

"What's wrong?"

Fanny asked with a frown.

In response, Jiang Zhou said anxiously:

"I don't know, but did you see a message in this virtual film before, saying that this place..."

He stopped talking halfway.

Because there was a cry of surprise at the door of the projection hall at this moment, he naturally turned his head and looked over.

A team of fully armed guys in black clothes were entering from the gate.

The leader was a half-body taller than an average person, about 2.56 meters tall, and a fully prosthetic adjuster. His appearance was bloated and disgusting, and his body was covered with spherical metal particles. From a distance, he looked like a walking tumor.

On the man's chest, there was a black sun symbol.

Note: Shelley Duvall, the actress of the movie "The Shining". In order to make the character she played appear desperate and collapsed, director Kubrick deliberately isolated her from the entire crew and was indifferent to all her experiences. He also required her performance to the most demanding standards and spoke rudely.

After the filming, Shelley suffered from severe mental weakness. But "The Shining" starring her has also become an eternal classic in film history.
