Chapter 3: Change of life
Three years ago, he started making a fortune by producing and selling gutter oil. Last year, the gutter oil business was exposed, but he still cunningly shifted the blame to other accomplices, and got away with it after paying a small fine himself. After escaping the catastrophe, he not only did not change his ways, but intensified his efforts. For more than a year, I don't know how much gutter oil, which is more toxic than arsenic, has flowed through his hands to the dining tables of thousands of families! He thought that he could continue to make a fortune with his conscience under the cover of the night, and it was your action that ended his dream and rewrote his stubborn fate...... So Muzi, you should be proud and should feel fulfilled. ”
"But even if Sun Dahai deserves to be punished, there should be a law to judge, you and I are just ordinary people, what qualifications do we have to decide a person's life and death?"
"The law? The law is indeed a good thing to punish adultery and eliminate evil. However, its power is limited, it can solve many obvious problems, but it is helpless against those evils that are good at concealment, if it is not for your efforts, when will the police be able to get the pervert neighbor to be punished? When will Sun Dahai pay for his evil deeds?! Moreover, the law is evidence-based, not to mention whether the police can take notice of them while dealing with the mountains of cases, and even if they start to investigate, how much effort will it take to find evidence of their crimes? ”
"You...... Simply anti-sociopath, mocking and flouting the law......"
"Wrong. We are not anti-social elements, on the contrary, our game system exists to purify the social atmosphere and make the social development healthier. We do not ridicule and flout the law, on the contrary, we understand it, assist it, and the existence of our game system is a complement to the law, not a replacement! ”
Mu Zixu thought that he was first-class in defense, but when he heard the boss say this, he seemed to feel a little speechless.
Obviously, the theory of their game system has been in existence for a long time, and it must have been revised and supplemented by many people many times, so it is difficult for people to find loopholes to refute in a short period of time.
And at this time, the boss threw out a new round of his offensive-
"Now I can answer one of your questions in passing - that is, why I chose you. Want to know? ”
Mu Zixu was stunned: "Why?" ”
"Because I discovered your book before I found you. To be exact, it was your book that led me to you. I've read all the novels you've written, and they're basically the most unpopular suspense genres. Even if every book is dying because the audience is too small, you still keep writing it. Some people think you're not good at writing about other genres, but I know not. I can read between the lines of your words the main reason why you insist on writing this-"
The boss's words can be said to have cut straight to Mu Zixu's weakness.
Somewhat flattered, he asked, "Why?" ”
"Because in each of your books, there will be a dark protagonist who wanders on the edge of the law, who is jealous of evil and hateful, punishes evil and promotes good in his own way, and makes him go all over the world! I can feel that when you write, you have integrated yourself into the world of the book, and you write about the main characters as if you were writing about yourself. Deep down in your heart, you long for yourself to have the same wonderful life as the protagonist. ”
Mu Zixu listened quietly, and the feeling of passion in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He knew why he felt the way he did.
The boss's dissection of writing and ideals had activated certain thoughts hidden in the depths of his subconscious.
At this time, the boss's words continued: "So I decided to hire you, I will give you rich financial and information support, so that you can rewrite those heinous lives, and at the same time, I will also give you a chance to change your life, you will no longer be a street writer who can only talk in a conjectural way, but can really incarnate the protagonist of the book, a dark hero who can enjoy the pleasure of reality with practical actions, I am used to calling you - life changer!" ”
Mu Zixu was still silent, and in just a few minutes, he felt that the amount of information he had been exposed to was too great, and it was a little difficult to adapt.
Boss: "Okay Muzi, by this point you really understand the essence of this game. It's up to you to choose what to do next. I'll give you twelve hours to make a decision,"
Mu Zixu: "Unconditional withdrawal?" ”
Boss: "Of course. As I said, if you feel like you don't want to continue or can't continue, you are always free to quit. Fees that have already been credited to your account will not disappear. Now, the rules remain the same. ”
Mu Zixu just breathed a sigh of relief, but he listened to the boss continue-
"But if you terminate your employment, we have no obligation to continue to protect you. What you did in the perfume murder case will be provided to the police. As for how it ends, it's up to your luck. ”
"What? You...... Is this called a free exit? You are coercing, coercing! Mu Zixu gritted his teeth in resentment.
Boss: "No. This is for the purpose of maintaining the security of our systems. It's true that you're free to quit and submit evidence to the police is just what we do, isn't it? ”
Muzi: "Strong words! You're a strong word!! ”
Boss: "Whether to be a writer in peace, or to join the thrilling life-changing game vigorously, you choose!" Remember, twelve hours to consider. ”
With that, the phone hung up.
It's really a two-pronged approach, both hard and soft......
Mu Zixu held the mobile phone that suddenly quieted down, and his stunned eyes looked through the window, casting the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.
He had just killed a man without knowing it, an old man who had never known anything about his life.
Although Sun Dahai's crime can be punished, is it really justice to do it himself?
Since he was a child, he has especially liked to read martial arts novels, and whenever he sees the heroes with strong martial arts in the novels, punishing the rape and eliminating the evil sword world, he has a feeling of enthusiasm.
How he wished he could one day be like them.
Later, he gradually grew older, especially after graduation, and the experience of life made him gradually fade away from his childhood passion, after all, in this world, people can only live if they are realistic.
However, even though life has worn away most of its edges and corners, it still can't extinguish the trace of fanaticism hidden in the depths of his consciousness.
Especially after truly integrating into society, he witnessed the complexity and unfathomability of this society, he witnessed too much darkness enough to cover the sky, too many unforgivable crimes but still go unpunished. How he wished he could become a super hero like Spider-Man, Batman, and Iron Man, and even dreamed that when night fell, he could fight those evil and bloody battles to the end.
But when he woke up the next day, he was still a helpless young man at the bottom, still struggling for survival and food and clothing.
Later, he chose to be a suspense writer, and while maintaining food and clothing, he could also use paper to maintain the fanaticism hidden in his heart.
And now he has an opportunity in front of him, a chance to completely change his life.
And more importantly, he seems to have been dragged into the water and can no longer turn back.
……
Two hours later, Mu Zixu ate the bowl of instant noodles that had already been cooled.
Then, he dialed his boss's number.
"Welcome back to the game." The boss said.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Mu Zixu actually felt a faint hint of color in the boss's tone, and he was no longer as cold as before.
Mu Zixu: "I have a question, will all future game missions be to kill people or let the police arrest people in this way similar to this kind of accident?" ”
Boss: "Of course, sometimes you don't have to be surprised. Our principle is very simple, that is, to act under the premise that the police cannot catch us, only in this way can we better disguise and lurk, and can we continue to work for a longer time. In the early stages of your work, I will be responsible for providing you with comprehensive information and technical support, you only need to ......"
Mu Zixu: "I understand, that is, you formulate a strategy to release the game task, and I am responsible for the specific implementation." ”
Boss: "Yes. ”
Mu Zixu: "You just said...... In the early stages, i.e., after the working hours have become longer, will there be new ways of working? ”
