Volume I, Chapter 16, True Travels, March 2117
Three months have passed, and in the past three months, Chen Guangbiao occasionally has nightmares, everyone has nightmares, and occasionally, however, Chen Guangbiao's nightmare is not quite the same, every time he has a nightmare, he will have the same nightmare.
He dreamed that he was looking in the mirror, and the person in the mirror was not himself, it was not his own face, but an ugly face, the face in the mirror, the left eye was half smaller than the right eye, and the left forehead was much larger than the right, this difference between the left and right faces was even more prominent, his nose was also crooked, and his mouth was crooked in the same direction, all crooked to the left.
Three-quarters of the face is deformed.
Whenever he asked who the person in the mirror was, the person would say, "Do you think you are really Chen Guangbiao?" Or, the man in the mirror will say, "Why, you want to abandon me?" ”
(This is not my memory,) Chen Guangbiao is sweating profusely every time he wakes up, (I'm not Chen Guangbiao?) Who have I abandoned? )
Three months have passed, and in the past three months, Zhang Xiaozhu's condition has deteriorated.
Zhang Xiaozhu's villa: The outside of the villa is a thick haze, and the virtual walls inside the villa reflect a room of sunny spring. But whether the sunlight is real or not, it can't illuminate Zhang Xiaozhu's gray heart.
The lower half of his body was paralyzed, and the report sent by Dr. JAY showed that the cancer cells had invaded the nervous system, and there were already ...... in the spine and brain....... I RECOMMEND THAT YOU COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR LAWYER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE......," DR. JAY WROTE IN THE EMAIL.
(Communicate with my lawyer?) Zhang Xiaozhu gradually understood that that day was near.
In fact, since Zhang Xiaozhu fell ill, he has been writing an autobiography to himself, thinking that one day he can show it to future generations. Originally, she was worried that her education level was not high, her writing was not good, and the autobiography she wrote was unprofessional and not dignified, so that future generations would see and laugh at her.
But the professional writing software of this era has completely dissipated this trouble, these writing software can even write what you want without the Internet, the only thing you need to do is to speak to him, and these writing software can provide you with a variety of styles of language, from yy, to white drawing, to gorgeous and romantic, of course, including autobiographical style, Zhang Xiaozhu only needs to correct the typos.
He began to recall his earliest memories of the orphanage, which was a dilapidated house, probably slightly better than a pigsty. And the bed, which was actually some planks, hit on the bricks. Some boats don't even have wooden planks, and I don't know what version of them are used to carry bricks, and after sleeping, the skin will be very itchy.
Zhang Xiaozhu sat in a wheelchair, writing in front of his computer, and a soothing requiem was playing in the room.
Even in orphanages, there is a difference between mutants and normal people...... Compared to those who did not make it out of the orphanage alive, it is a blessing to be able to live to be in their 20s.
And being able to meet his little snake girl, Yang Yiyi, is another luck in his life.
Zhang Xiaozhu wrote in his autobiography.
In Zhang Xiaozhu's view, the probability that a mutant can meet someone he likes and give birth to offspring may not be much higher than looking for a second earth in the universe.
Looking back, Zhang Xiaozhu had never taken wedding photos with Yang Yiyi, and he felt very guilty in his heart.
Because he is not engaged in a legitimate career, he rarely shows up in society, mainly because he does not want to cause any trouble to his family. Many people on the outside world don't even know that he has family. This is good.
So Zhang Xiaozhu didn't take wedding photos with Yang Yi.
Another reason why Zhang Xiaozhu didn't take wedding photos with Yang Yi is because of his face, who wants to burn his ugly face into the photo? Or engrave a face covered with hair into a photo forever?
But now Zhang Xiaozhu has decided to agree to Yang Yiyi's long-standing request to take a set of wedding photos with her.
Because, when he appeared in the wedding photos this time, he will no longer have an ugly face, and he has completed plastic surgery in a way that no one can imagine, without surgery and without any pain...... Scapegoat.
(Three months have passed, and the world has changed so much, like three years have passed...... Zhang Xiaozhu recalled that he remembered that on the TV news, Tang Jingtaobo described the new world:
"Everyone can have a stand-in of their own, and after two months, 82 equipment manufacturers, the top 20 international operators will be fully supported." Tang Jingtao introduced,
"The cost of international roaming services for the avatar will continue to decrease, and you can use your avatar in any country......"
This was news three months ago, and now, the "future" described by Dr. Tang Jingtao has become "now" — Zhang Xiaozhu can manipulate his own double instead of taking wedding photos in a wheelchair.
Zhang Xiaozhu called the bodyguard's phone, and a big man appeared on the monitor of the video call: "Ah Liang, did you help me ask about the wedding photos?" ”
"Brother Zhu has been contacted." Ah Liang said, "According to your meaning, we use a fictitious name, and the photography company will not know the true identity of you and your sister-in-law." There are currently two possible options. ”
"Tell me about it." Zhang Xiaozhu said.
"The first solution is fully virtual shooting, this kind of shooting is the 'virtual fantasy' product of the Xchang Chamber of Commerce, you only need to upload the avatar of you and your sister-in-law, and then, automatically generate photos of the specified scene, seascape, snow scene, Qing Dynasty, European style, everything, and you don't need to go to ...... in person."
Zhang Xiaozhu knew that Ah Liang cared about himself and had difficulty moving, so Ah Liang chose this kind of fully virtual shooting.
"Ah, I'm not a big fan of all-virtual ones, I've spent too much time in the villa's 'virtual fantasy'." Zhang Xiaozhu said.
Ah Liang thought for a while: "Brother Zhu, there is a traditional wedding photography company, but their service may not be too good, I have been to see it, it looks like that company is about to go out of business......
(Gone out of business?) Although Zhang Xiaozhu had a general understanding, he really didn't expect that the 'virtual illusion' of the Xchang Chamber of Commerce would have such a big impact on traditional industries.
"As you know, it's hard to choose where to shoot photos taken in the haze, and the amount of retouching has become very large, and many traditional wedding photography companies have closed their doors and joined the 'virtual fantasy......' of the Xchang Chamber of Commerce," explains Aliang.
(Therefore, the current wedding newspaper company has completely become a 'retouching software' company!) Zhang Xiaozhu thought.
"It doesn't matter, just choose that company, anyway, I just want my stand-in to go to the beach instead of me, to the real beach...... Go to the southern seaside, where there is no smog. Zhang Xiaozhu said, he suddenly longed for the real sea and sunshine, as well as the golden sand.
He sat in the room, however, it seemed that he had already smelled the sea.
