November 28, early morning.

After saying goodbye to Scram, Che returned to his residence.

As soon as he opened the door, he found ...... On the floor behind the door, there was an extra envelope.

The envelope was very thin, and it looked like someone had stuffed it under the crack in the door, but out of caution, Che Wuchen still searched his residence first, and after making sure that there was no ambush in the house, he closed the door and picked up the "letter" of unknown origin.

There was no writing on either side of the envelope, and when it was opened, two things fell out of it - a card, and a data film.

The card is black, about the size of a business card, but the texture is not paper, but something close to carbon fiber; The front of the card is printed with a white, ornately designed cross, while the back is printed with only one number – "5".

As for the "data film", it is a civilian technology product that is widely used in the 23rd century.

Outwardly, it is just a transparent, slightly thicker film than paper, and the size of the spread out is not the same depending on the equipment it is suitable for; The largest is generally no more than 24 inches, and the smallest is not smaller than the screen of a smartphone.

The main function of the data film is to store and play video files. The common usage is to attach the data film to your device's screen when watching a certain video, and select "Save", so that the data film can directly save the video you play synchronously. After that, you can apply the film to another device and you will be able to play the video recorded in the film.

What the hell is this...... It's basically the "Polaroid" of the video file industry, which doesn't seem to be a great technology, but it's a product that changes the world.

Due to its low cost, undetectability at the software level, and the irresistibility of its "physical recording technology", the difficulty of "pirated film and television" was reduced to the point that even elementary school students could easily complete it in that era...... Anyone can use any playback device anywhere, with a data film that can be bought for more than a dozen pieces, to obtain video resources that are almost indistinguishable from the playback source, and then transfer this resource to their own equipment, copy and copy again......

As you can imagine, the film and television industry ...... In particular, how are those companies that mainly "sell discs" pressed to the ground in the face of this new technology...... Of course, those things have nothing to do with the story in front of us, let's go back and talk about Che Wuchen.

Right now, the data film that Che Wuchen got is the kind of model used for mobile phones.

He didn't hesitate, and after checking the inside of the envelope without leaving any words or marks, he put the black card on the coffee table, then took out his phone and pasted the data film on.

Not surprisingly, there is already a video in this film, and Che Wuchen immediately clicked on the play option.

A second later, a familiar picture appeared on the screen of his mobile phone.

In the picture, there is a small room with a hospital bed, and on the bed, there is a man tied with a restraint belt......

…………

November 25, 19:02, Tang Jiucheng's secret room.

When Che Wuchen walked into this room, Professor Tang also happened to wake up from a coma.

Obviously, from the first floor to the fifth floor, it didn't take 49 minutes to get to the car; In fact, his search was far more efficient than what he had described and that Scram had tested based on his description...... To be higher.

It took him 25 minutes to get to the dean's office, and after seeing the open door of the secret room, he hesitated a little and came in.

"You...... Who are you? Professor Tong asked the question in his already hoarse voice when he saw a man in civilian clothes with a gun in his hand.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a police officer." Che Wuchen didn't show any documents, but his calm tone and determined demeanor gave people a very reliable feeling.

For Uncle Tang, who had already collapsed, there was no reason to doubt the other party at all: "You guys are here!" Fast! Help me! ”

Hopeful was ignited, and a force immediately surged in his body, which made his voice raise a few points.

"What's wrong with you?" Che Wuchen did not let go of him, nor did he respond to his words, but asked him a question.

"Can't you see that! Someone tied me up and tortured me! He...... He's a terrorist! It's crazy! It's a perverted lunatic! Professor Tang yelled, "What is there to ask! Put me out! ”

"You say 'he'...... Who is it? Cha Wuchen asked, turning his head to look out of the room alertly, "Is 'he' still here?" ”

"How do I know! I've been tied up here for a day! He was still here, I just passed out, and when I wake up, you're here! "Professor Tang was already a little hysterical and incoherent.

However, Che Wuchen still spoke in a clear manner: "Don't worry, the person who tortured you is likely to be nearby, he may want to use you as bait......" He paused, "I'll go out and have a look first, and then I'll come back to you after I'm sure there's no one on this floor." ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute! When Professor Tang saw him turn around to leave, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't leave me!" You can at least untie me first! ”

"Nope." Cha Wuchen's answer was quick and decisive, "Let you go, you will definitely run away desperately, or do something else I can't control, which will put both of us in a very dangerous situation."

With that, he left the room, leaving Professor Tong to continue yelling, and he just didn't hear it.

Five minutes later, Cha Wuchen returned.

This time, he even put away his gun, which means that he doesn't need to guard against anything anymore.

"How?" Professor Tang looked at him and asked eagerly, "Is he gone?" ”

"Hmm." Che Wuchen nodded, "According to my investigation...... At this moment, there are no other living people in this building except for you and me. ”

"Okay, then you can always untie me now, right?" Professor Tang continued.

Che Wuchen ...... Didn't answer him.

He walked up to Professor Tang, looked directly into the latter's eyes, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Do you remember me?" ”

This sentence made Professor Tang's blood all over his body cold.

He didn't know why he felt so frightened, but he ...... Before his mind realized anything, his instincts had told him that something very bad was about to happen.

As Zilin said: The root of this fear is not the objective state of affairs that is happening, but the "sin" in the hearts of the parties.

"It's normal to forget, after all, more than ten years have passed." Che Wuchen slowly approached Professor Tang, "I'm not the kid I used to be. ”

As he said this, he suddenly put his hand on Professor Tang's forehead, which was already covered with cold sweat.

At that moment, from Professor Tang's point of view, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed to a different tone, and I don't know why...... It's all covered with a layer of red.

"You...... What was done to me? When Che Wuchen withdrew his hand, Professor Tang asked.

"Don't be nervous, I haven't done anything yet." Che Wuchen replied coldly, "But I really have to do it next." ”

"I don't know who you are, and I don't know if you're a police officer...... Professor Tang looked at him and forced his composure to answer, "But I guess you've been with me before......" He paused and continued in a persuasive tone, "You also said it, that was more than ten years ago, aren't you okay now?" You'd better think it through...... Let me go right away, you're a hero, but if you do something else you might regret it...... The consequences ......"

"Huh...... Hehe......" Che Wuchen didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and then laughed, "Hehehe...... Hahahaha...... "The more he laughed, the louder he became, and the laughter even gradually revealed a bit of madness.

A person who has always maintained a calm and graceful presence in front of others should be careful if he shows his unknown side in front of you - he either has a good relationship with you or has made up his mind to kill you.

After a while, Che Wuchen slowly restrained his smile, rolled up his sleeves, and turned to the front of the "treatment instrument".

"It seems that the person who operated this instrument here before is quite good at electrocution." As he spoke, Che Wuchen had already begun to debug the various indices on the instrument.

"No...... Other! Please! Don't call me anymore! You ......" Professor Tang, who saw this scene, was terrified, "...... Kill me! Just kill me! ”

"That sounds familiar." When Che Wuchen heard this, he was completely unmoved, what should he do, "Oh...... By the way, I seem to have said something similar to you before......" he paused, "many years ago, my friends and the girls I liked...... They have all begged you with a more humble attitude, but the result is ...... It doesn't seem to work. ”

Speaking of this, Che Wuchen craned his neck and took a deep breath, not knowing whether these words awakened his dusty memories or aroused some emotions in him.

"They...... Neither strong enough nor smart enough. "They don't want to live in fear and humiliation...... They are unwilling to suppress their nature in order not to be tortured like animals, and at the same time, they do not have the ability to endure and disguise...... So they chose an easier ...... The path to liberation. ”

He paused for a few seconds, then continued, "But I'm different...... I endured it.

"I left here like a domesticated, obedient dog.

"I'll never forget the day I got out of here.

"It was a sunny day, and my parents were talking to you eagerly with satisfied smiles on their faces; And all that hung on my face was calm...... I can't allow myself to show the slightest excitement because I know ...... Even a glance or a word could be a reason for you to put me back in the center.

"From that day on...... No, I should say that long before that day, I had learned not to show my true side in front of anyone...... Including my loved ones.

"I swear I'll never put myself in a similar situation again.

"So, I'm stronger and smarter...... Even if I can't control everything, at least I won't fall into the hands of someone like you again. ”

Che Wuchen took another deep breath, then looked at Professor Tang and said, "Isn't everything you see in your eyes now like a red filter, a little weird?" ”

Before Professor Tang could answer, Che Wuchen immediately said: "This is not an illusion, but my 'ability'. ”

"You too...... The capable? "Professor Tang knows that there are people with extraordinary abilities in this world, even if he didn't know much about it before, but after seeing the scene of Zilin's murder today, he should be convinced.

"That's right." Che Wuchen said, "And...... My abilities were awakened when I was 'healed' here. He sneered again, "Huh...... It is because you have made my real life worse than death that this power has been born, which I call 'daydreaming'. He faced Professor Tang and stretched out his arms, "At this moment, you are in my 'dream'. ”

"What do you mean?" Professor Tang said, "You mean...... All this ...... Aren't they true? ”

"What's the difference between truth and falsehood?" Che Wuchen replied, "Is the electric shock a 'treatment' or a 'punishment'?" Are you a healer, or a liar? Is this center buying and selling what it needs, or is it another absurd, but not entirely meaningless, farce playing out in this deformed world?

Who can tell?

"People from different positions will have different views and interpretations of the same thing; That's true of most things in the world, and you can never get everyone on the same page.

"Sometimes the truth is in the hands of a few; But there are times when most people agree, but there are still a few fools who jump out and disagree...... They are either self-righteous or self-righteous in order to show that they are different, and are accustomed to gaining a sense of superiority by attacking and refuting certain things.

"Humans are such a species based on individual differences, and diversity comes at a cost.

"Therefore, for human beings, truth and falsehood, good and evil, right and wrong, black and white...... It doesn't matter.

"What matters is how you get others to agree with you.

"In any matter, as long as you can get the vast majority of people to side with you and silence or silence dissenting voices...... You are true, good, right, and white.

"For human beings, their own perception and feelings of things are the most important factors that determine the truth or falsehood.

"Is it true that history is written? Is it true that the official is true? Isn't it ridiculous that you can't even believe what you see with your own eyes, but believe what others tell you is 'true'?

"So...... You don't have to ask me anything about whether it's true or not, what you believe, what you experience, that's true. ”

After Che Wuchen finished saying this, he suddenly reached out and slapped Professor Tang.

Smack-

This blow was not light, listening to the movement, it was not strange to knock out a few teeth, and Professor Tang immediately screamed in pain.

"In the real world, I didn't hit you, but in this 'daydream', this is a slap in the face, and your pain is real." After Che Wuchen finished the slap, he returned to the treatment instrument and was ready to start the main play, "Don't worry, we still have time, in the 'dream', a minute can be as long as a day." ”

"What do you think...... Can your revenge on me change anything? Professor Tang was already desperate, so he no longer pleaded for anything, but said, "Yes...... I'm a liar and I've ruined a lot of people, but am I the culprit? Those who voluntarily come to be deceived by me and feed me, those who support me and profit from it, those who choose to ignore and do nothing about what I have done...... All the people who make it possible for people like me to live a good life! Aren't they responsible? ”

Che Wuchen's hand stopped, he looked at Professor Tang coldly for a few seconds, and then, in his usual and calm tone, said, "Ah...... I've got it all, you don't have to worry about it, they're ...... Sooner or later, there will be a price. ”
