Chaos.

Dark.

It was as if the body no longer existed, only a wisp of geist, floating in the boundless void.

If it weren't for the strange smell that was both sweet and pungent to the nose...... Qu Xi would rather sleep forever in this nothingness.

Somewhat reluctantly, she opened her eyes.

The surroundings are bright and white.

Also familiar.

There was something strange about her, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it. All her attention was drawn to a huge holographic screen in front of her bed.

There are video materials in it.

Then she felt her heart seem to stop.

The narrator is a deep, magnetic male voice. His voice spoke eloquently, even though what was projected on the screen was nothing short of his calm voice.

"Domestic violence at an early age, early death of my mother, abandonment by my father, and molestation ......"

On the screen, a group of children in ragged clothes appeared. The one on the far left is circled by a red line. It was a little girl with the most dull eyes and a stiff smile, and her left arm was tied with a piece of white cloth.

"I was raped by my first love, and I was cheated of money by my boyfriend ......"

The picture changes, and a timid girl in a white dress appears. Seventeen or eighteen years old.

"In my first marriage, I was deceived by a homosexual, accidentally miscarried, and lost my fertility...... The second marriage suffered domestic violence, endured for ten years, and finally ended in the other party's cheating and divorce. ”

The picture continues to change, the girl grows up and matures, but the light in her eyes is gone.

"After being alone, I made a living by doing odd jobs...... When you meet a scammer, you have been cheated out of all your savings for many years. Later, at the age of 50, he learned about the old events of his childhood, suffered a huge blow, and was in a trance all day long, and collapsed in 2050, embarking on a road of no return......"

The next picture began to be covered in blood.

A lot of corpses, a lot of stumps. Some died by cutting their throats, some were stabbed to the heart, and some even died by random shooting.

However, the corpses in these pictures, without exception, are all men.

The final scene shows an elderly woman approaching surrounded by some policemen. Her hair is whiter than Silver Moon, and her eyes are darker than Xuanya. There was a wry smile on her ravine-lined face. It was the breath of death.

The film ends.

On the pitch-black background of the screen, a line of small print emerges.

"The last serial female killer of the 21st century."

The small print reads.

……

The door opened.

A man in a long white robe walked in.

He was in his thirties, deep-sighted, wise and calm. He had an ultra-thin instrument in his hand.

"You're awake."

This was the first thing he said to Qu Xi.

But he didn't hear back.

Ay...... He sighed slightly. Although this was expected, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He carefully placed the instrument in his hand on the table beside the bed, and whispered:

"Hello, I am the master of the system."

From his point of view, he could see all the expressions on Qu Xi's face. He saw Qu Xi's eyelids twitch slightly.

"Say it's the master of the system...... Actually, I'm just the person in charge of your project, or the attending doctor. So to speak. He smiled helplessly, "If you have any questions, you can ask me." ”

Qu Xi didn't speak.

"Ahem." The man was a little embarrassed, "Okay, I'll give you a brief introduction to our project first, and you can interrupt me at any time." ”

Seeing that Qu Xi still didn't react, he continued to talk to himself.

"Now...... As you should have realized, it's 2070. You are 76 years old. For your age, the law issued by the state clearly stipulates that the death penalty is no longer applicable, and even in the law amended last year, it stipulates that criminals over the age of 75 will no longer be imprisoned. In view of your case...... It is special and very significant for research, and we have specially combined many people in the industry to tailor such a system for you......"

"This system is implanted in your brain and affects your brain activity through very disturbing radio waves, making you think you're still 26 years old. But as you can see, because the system is not very stable, there are often some abnormalities when your heart fluctuates strongly, such as...... The sky you see twinkles. ”

"This system creates a whole new world for you, in which you are an ordinary person, with parents, friends, and a righteous and brave heart. The emergence of the so-called scumbag system is to further force out the hatred in your heart, and what we want to test is that if you are cornered, will you still choose the old path, or stick to the basic conscience of this society......"

"It's all fake?" Qu Xi suddenly spoke.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Except for you...... Everything, it's fake. ”

After thinking about it, he added, "Except for your heart." ”

The atmosphere is getting colder.

"But!" The man suddenly raised his voice, "The result is still gratifying!" During the whole process, we wanted to give up many times, for example, I had an argument with the artificial intelligence system, oh, that is, the 'system king' as you call it, but in the end we still gave you the chance, just to speed up the process a little. In front of many scumbags, although you have used some irregular methods, you have always held on to the last belief, that is, you will not kill...... Even if, in front of his biological father, who has a scumbag coefficient of almost 100, you didn't stab the knife into his vital point in the end......"

"Those people, too, fake?"

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect that she was still struggling with this question. "Yes, it's all fake." He pondered the wording, "but they all have social archetypes. For example, the policeman An Jin, who has always appeared by your side to help you, is actually a model that we have built through complex calculations, and you can also see that his scumbag coefficient is 0, which is actually the meaning of the system model. He represents the existence of social justice and conscience, and he has been trying to get you back, but he can't reveal his true purpose...... There are also doctors Yin Yiyang and Xu Yang, who are actually some negative models, the purpose of which is to test you deeply. Thankfully, you have withstood the test at the end. ”

He was a little complacent, and the corners of his mouth began to rise.

"Oh." Qu Xi nodded.

"So, we are now proud to say that this world-renowned project has finally succeeded. And you don't have to be locked up in a detention center anymore, but you can live in a welfare institution and spend your old age in peace. ”

With that, he picked up the instrument on the bedside table, and with a light touch, a rectangular holographic screen appeared.

"This is the project confirmation. Sign it. ”

Qu Xi stretched out his hand—it was a thin, wrinkled hand—and signed his name on the screen with his fingers.

The man smiled with satisfaction.

"Come with me, we'll pick up your personal belongings and head to the welfare facility."

Qu Xi stood up, slowly, laboriously, barefoot, and followed him out.

Passing by a mirror in the room, she saw her own face.

So old, so skinny.

She chuckled softly.

Everywhere you passed, it was icy. It's a modern industrial corridor, with small intelligent robots walking back and forth on the ground. The man led her around a few corners and into a small room.

There is a huge storage cupboard in the room. Above are densely packed storage bins.

The man whispered into the air, and a storage compartment opened. The contents were sent out by a conveyor belt.

The man led Qu Xi over.

"Well, here's some of your clothes, your shoes, and this, your pen, and your diary...... You're still quite nostalgic, and after all these years, you've still insisted on keeping a diary. ”

"Oh." Qu Xi didn't speak, picked up the diary.

It was a very worn notebook with a pen pinned to it. In this day and age, such things are very rare.

Qu Xi turned a few pages. There were a lot of tear stains on it, and there was blood.

"Pack up your things, let's go to the welfare home." The man turned and walked towards the door.

……

"Bang!"

A small robot passing by seemed to hear something and hesitated to come and check. But after the background calculation, the sound did not meet the required value of "viewing", so it just lingered for a while, and then turned away.

If, if it looks back at this time, it will find that-

In that door, there was a man upside down.

He has a pen stuck around his neck.

Blood was pouring out.

And his eyes, which protruded like dead fish, stared at him in a daze, a pair of thin bare feet in front of him.
