Chapter 35: The Puppet of Light and Shadow
Pleased?
Test Subject No. 748 knew that even if he asked Mr. Che directly, the other party would not be able to say it at all.
But he knew that Mr. Che would not harm him, so he simply didn't think much about it, and followed Mr. Che into this strange building.
Although he was a little mentally prepared, as soon as he pushed the door open, Experiment No. 748 was still shocked by the scene inside.
Inside the building is a rotunda of light and shadow. The ceiling is high, and rectangular columns of different lengths hang down, making it look like a pixelated stalactite cave.
There are also voices coming from nowhere, and a magnificent symphony is playing.
But most importantly, the hall was full of people.
Subject 748 swallowed nervously. Usually, except for the mission to eliminate those underworld forces, he has no contact with other ordinary people at all. Now the people standing on the outer three floors in front of him really startled him.
These people had straight waists, from short to high, and each of them was dressed in uniform and well-cut uniforms, among them the handsome men and the handsome women, and as soon as they entered the test item 748, they bowed violently and said, "Welcome to the distinguished guests!" ”
Subject 748 took a step back without a trace.
The people in front of them stood up straight, and a tall woman walked out of them, looking at the two of them at Experiment No. 748: "Please ask the two VIPs to show their reservation numbers." ”
Mr. Che reached out and slammed the screen into the woman's hand.
"Okay." The woman turned to Specimen 748 and smiled, "Then this Mr. Real will come with me." ”
"Me?" Subject 748 looked at Mr. Che a little unnaturally, and raised a fist at him with his lips curled up under his hat.
He sighed and stopped looking at Mr. Che. Mr. Che's action is to make him obey and obedient.
However, his affected area did become more and more painful, and it hurt to grind inside his clothes. If it can be cured, it should be as soon as possible.
Subject 748 lowered his guard and followed the tall woman into a triangular door.
The back of the door surprised him as well, because it was so ordinary. It was just a small room, half of which was occupied by a tatami mat with thick cushions, and the other half was empty, except for a huge mirror on the wall.
"This is ......" Subject 748 had just asked when he heard a bang behind him, and the woman had already stepped out and closed the door.
What are you doing...... He was confused.
While he was still looking around, the walls of the room suddenly darkened, and the mirror began to glow softly.
Subject 748 saw a figure composed of pure light appear next to his figure in the mirror. He hurriedly turned his head, only to find that there was no such thing around reality.
"Please customize the details of your couple's body."
A gentle female voice sounded in his ears, and although it appeared suddenly, it was not abrupt at all.
Couple, is that the person? Specimen No. 748 is mirrored. The light man beside him in the mirror followed, a bare hand on his shoulder.
Above the mirror, a row of shimmery squares with text appears slightly protruding from the surface of the mirror.
Specimen 748 looked at it and saw a row of words such as "Preset: Male", "Preset, Female", and "Preset, Neutral".
He tried to tap the second one.
Then he noticed that the light man beside him in the mirror began to change, his chest was bulging, his waist was thinner, and long hair began to grow on the top of his bald head.
After completing this step, the first row of light characters on the mirror began to fade, and a second row of glowing words appeared.
"Face Detail Customization", "Body Detail Customization", "Back to the previous step".
Subject 748 stared at it for a moment, thought for a moment, and finally clicked back, then re-selected "Preset: Male".
This time, the light and shadow began to change again, the chest deflated, but it became wider, the waist and abdomen swelled and became flat and strong, and even the height increased a little. The glowing strands of hair on its head began to retract and finally settled above the base of the ear.
When he entered the third operation, this time in addition to the yellow text covering the entire mirror, a red light text appeared.
"Do you read the image of the memory person?"
Memory?
At this point, Subject 748 has a rough idea of what it does, and it's a place to fabricate virtual dolls.
Is this good for my body? He looked at the strange part of his body, and he was still puzzled.
But he didn't have time to adjust this ghost puppet little by little, so he came to make it ready-made.
He tapped his finger lightly on the red-lit text.
"Please bring your forehead close to the mirror."
Experiment No. 748 did so.
When his head left the mirror, he saw a row of figures appear in the mirror. The first is Mr. Che, and the second is a gang leader he killed yesterday.
I guess if he had chosen a woman, he would have seen the pink-haired woman he had just killed.
He sneered self-deprecatingly. Aside from Mr. Che, the only people he remembered were the people he had killed.
Since Mr. Che brought him here, it's better to choose him.
Subject 748's hand reached for the figure in the mirror.
Suddenly, the figure of Mr. Che in the mirror moved. To be precise, it was a millimeter of distance towards the mirror.
And he was very sensitive to this small change.
He looked at the bottom of the mirror, and just now not only Mr. Che, but the entire person on the mirror moved a millimeter that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Because there was suddenly an extra person at the bottom.
Subject 748 crouched down, and the new person there looked unfamiliar, but it made him feel slightly familiar.
He looked at the man in front of the man. He had a slight memory of the bald man, the target of his mission a few days ago.
This new person, probably the one he killed by accident, did not remain in his memory, but he reproduced his appearance through this mirror.
He stood up, re-found Mr. Che's figure, and was about to click on it, when suddenly his eyes were a little blurry.
Subject 748 raised his hand and wiped it, only to find that it was tears.
He knew the tear thing, and when he was clearing a gang the other day, there was a little girl who knelt at his feet before she died, and her face was covered in this thing.
The girl was actually the leader of the gang. Seeing through her disguise, Subject 748 mercilessly obliterated the other party.
But why do you have this now?
My intuition told me that the appearance of this thing was related to the figure just now.
He crouched down, fingers hanging over the figure's surface.
You...... Who is it?
Smack, his finger accidentally touched it.
The light characters and figures in the mirror all swayed and melted like calligraphy and paintings thrown into water. And the figure next to him in the mirror began to show details.
Start with slender and bony fingers, move on to lower arms, upper arms, shoulders, pectorals, abs, thighs, calves, ...... Little by little, the light man faded into the appearance of a naked ordinary person.
The last thing that changes is the face. A handsome but unfamiliar face appeared on the face of the person in the mirror with a smile.
Seeing the figure appear, Subject 748 felt his eyes blur even more.
Who are you......
The person in the mirror is reaching out and groping on the mirror surface as if through a piece of glass.
The next second, he broke through the mirror and threw himself into the arms of Experiment Specimen 748.
