Chapter 277: Masquerade

When he went to work the next day, Fang Yuhao was assigned to a working group of numerical planning. He began to give full play to his superpower of "lying without blushing".

"Brother Wang, you know a lot! Your algorithm is simply amazing! ”

This man named Wang Xin is the leader of the project team, has a master's degree, and is almost forty years old. At such an age, he was stunned by Fang Yuhao's words, and his face turned slightly rosy.

"Sister Meiling, you really have a temperament!"

This woman named Jin Meiling is a leftover woman in her thirties, who is worried that she will not be able to get married, but she was suddenly praised and looked at Fang Yuhao with flickering eyes.

Everyone in the office was a little embarrassed by the compliment, but they felt comfortable to death.

Why? Because it's a world where there is very little praise.

If a person does not sincerely admire others, but praises them verbally, he will be subconsciously identified as "lying", causing himself to blush.

Human beings are creatures that will always have some jealousy, and few people will sincerely admire others, if they blush while patting their ass, and say that they are lying, wouldn't it be embarrassing? This also leads to the fact that human beings in this world basically do not praise others, nor do they pat others.

Fang Yuhao slapped his ass in front of him like this, and he almost slapped their hearts to the sky......

Wang Xin, the leader of the project team, even had a crooked mouth. He was worrying about his own affairs, but he was slapped by Fang Yuhao, and his mood was inexplicably better......

In this way, in a week's time, Fang Yuhao quickly mingled with the people of the entire department. It's not just because of sycophancy, he also has some real talent to learn.

"Hot, let's go to a party after work. I've been working overtime for so long, I'm really tired! Wang Xin waved his hand. Large companies have such benefits, and each department has some pocket money at their disposal, which is regarded as an additional employee benefit.

"Okay!" Fang Yuhao nodded.

An hour later, they met at a masquerade hotel.

"Masquerade" is the most common form of entertainment in the world, everyone wears a mask, can lie at will without being found by others to blush, and is not allowed to re-investigate whether it is true or false.

"I'll order a sauerkraut fish."

"Here's a black pepper beef tenderloin!"

Together with Fang Yuhao, there were a total of more than a dozen men and women, all of whom wore strange-shaped masks, looking like a group of demons and monsters. However, after putting on the masks, people seemed to liberate their true nature, and they "chirped" and chatted like sparrows.

"Alas, Brother Wang, there are too few people in our project team now. Can you apply for some more? It's really annoying to work overtime every day. ”

"Yes, yes! Recruit a few more people. ”

Wang Xin smiled bitterly: "I don't count this kind of thing, one more person will pay a little more salary, anyway, that's what the boss thinks." Let's cheer up, and take this person's salary as our bonus, isn't it better? ”

"Really?"

One girl cried out, "I don't believe it! ”

"I'll go and apply to the boss. But don't expect too much. ”

At the "Masquerade Ball", after bringing on the mask, everyone talked easily. No one knows if they're blushing or not.

This feeling is exactly the same as the "First Parallel Universe" created by Fang Yuhao, where people can only communicate normally if they wear helmets. And the people here are slightly better, they can only barely communicate without masks, but after wearing masks, it is smoother.

"People are always creatures that want face...... Fang Yuhao felt a little funny in his heart.

When people are interacting with others, about one-third or one-quarter of the time is lying, Fang Yuhao used his super high perception to already notice that several people were already flushed and hot.

They talk about the company, they talk about the news, and a few men are completely addicted to bragging and fart, and they can't extricate themselves; Several women have formed a small circle on their own, talking about the various gossip they usually hear, and these uncertain information cannot be said directly when they are face-to-face.

It's as if you want to liberate all your usual repression!

No wonder this masquerade restaurant is so popular in this world.

"That's fine, there are some natures that have to be released after all."

After a while, after eating, everyone also played the game of "Truth or Dare", of course, where you can tell the truth and tell the truth.

"Little handsome guy!"

"Hot, it's your turn! Do you choose truth or dare? It was Jin Meiling, an older leftover girl who had been praised by herself for her "temperament", and she was looking at herself very ambiguously.

"Honestly, of course!" Fang Yuhao thought hesitantly, if he chose to take a big risk, he might have to do something wrong. He is a master god, how can he be disgraced?

"Oh...... Do you have someone you like? ”

Everyone shouted loudly, as if they liked her because Fang Yuhao had praised Jin Meiling for her "temperament". Because when you don't wear a mask, you don't lie.

Jin Meiling was also hot-skinned, and all kinds of emotions in her heart were strange: "Finally a handsome guy has a crush on the old lady." I don't know what the personality is like yet, but I can give it a try. ”

"There are people you like." Fang Yuhao said with a little headache: "It's my wife, she lives in other cities...... The temperament is more similar to Sister Meiling......"

Of course, the last sentence is a lie. How could Su Yuhe's temperament be more similar to this fat girl......

"You're married! It's boring. ”

Everyone stopped making noise, and Jin Meiling could only pout, quite unhappy, but when she heard him say this, she couldn't get angry.

The whole party lasted until eight o'clock in the evening, and everyone had had enough fun, and then they were very reluctant to say goodbye.

Fang Yuhao wiped the sweat from his face and breathed a sigh of relief. He finally understood that in this world, it is not possible to casually slap sycophants, especially the opposite sex...... Otherwise, others will think that they "like her".

Even if he has the superpower of "telling lies", he can't lie at will, otherwise a lie needs to be covered up with more lies, and sooner or later one day it will be exposed.

……

In this way, six months passed in a hurry, and Fang Yuhao gradually got used to the way of life in this world. Everyone is very honest and old-fashioned in order to avoid the "red face effect", which in turn has formed a new set of rules of conduct.

The crime rate in this world has dropped dramatically, and the interrogation work of the police and the trial of judges has become incredibly simple. After the prisoner is caught, whether he is guilty or not, it is enough to interrogate. If the prisoner remains silent, it is simple and effective to approve the maximum sentence.

Corrupt officials have become very rare, because officials are inspected by the masses every year, and they only need to ask one question: "Have you taken bribes?" "If there is a person who lies and blushes, he will be examined by the prosecutor's office. There are ways to distinguish lies, it's so simple.

Of course, the salaries of civil servants in this world are still quite high, and there is no great need to be corrupt and bribed.

Fang Yuhao even dared to help the grandmother who fell on the side of the road! This is a very taboo thing on Earth!

Just this weekend, he stroked three fallen grandfathers on the road in a row, and no one dared to touch porcelain, blackmail and the like.

"Thank you, young man, can you take me to the hospital?" This uncle's painful man looked like he had broken one of his legs, but he still didn't take the opportunity to blackmail Fang Yuhao.

"Okay, I'll take a taxi for you, and inform your family by the way!"

Seeing this taxi go away, the simple social atmosphere and excellent moral character made Fang Yuhao satisfied.

The world is unusually unopen in terms of "sexuality", and even a little old-fashioned, and girls who have never been married are basically virgins. Fang Yuhao recalled the "Gemini World" he had experienced, the social development was abnormal, and this "red-faced society" went to two opposite extremes.

More and more, he felt that the setting of "red face" was very ingenious. Just "lying will blush" forcibly restrains all kinds of evils in human nature, which is indeed more sophisticated than his "mind reading technique". Even if this setting leads to people's unusually old-fashioned ideology and generally introverted personalities, so what?

Because of the relationship between political clarity and good public security, the happiness index of the people in this world is still quite high.

In the video on his mobile phone, the prime minister is giving a speech: "We have the determination and perseverance to build a moderately developed country in five years." ”

He didn't blush when he made these remarks, so the people were unusually trusting. Almost all of us have developed the habit of "telling the truth." Anyway, if someone else says it in person, believe it.

Jingle bells, and the phone rings.

"Brother Wang?"

"It's me." Wang Xin, the leader of the project team, said on the phone.

"What are you looking for from me? Is there a temporary task that needs to be overtime? ”

"No, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Fang Yuhao was a little suspicious in his heart, but he still agreed.

The two got together in a small restaurant, perhaps because they often made sycophants, and Wang Xin also took more care of him in his usual work. Fang Yuhao's salary has risen quickly, and he has been promoted by two levels in just half a year, and his usual performance is basically A-level.

“…… I still want to thank Brother Wang for taking care of you! The two of them had a drink.

"That's not it, on the one hand, it's really good, and on the other hand, it has something to do with your doctorate." Wang Xin seemed to have something unpleasant, drinking glass after glass, his face was already flushed, and he couldn't tell whether he was blushing or not anyway.

He is almost 40 years old, and the programming industry is always going to eat youth, and if he doesn't change from the technical level to the leadership, it is estimated that the future will soon be "bright".

"Brother, I want to ask you something." Wang Xin looked left and right for a while, even though there were only the two of them in the box, he was still very nervous.

"What's the matter?"

"Are you ......" he said again and again, but finally said, "Can you control your blush?" Can you teach me? ”

Fang Yuhao was slightly shocked in his heart, and did not answer positively: "There is no such thing as what you said...... Brother Wang, do you know why people blush after lying? ”

"Because...... Brains! There is a logical screening area in the brain that naturally triggers blushing, isn't this common sense in high school biology? Reputedly...... There is a surgery abroad that destroys this part of the brain region, but the risk is very high, and if you are not careful, you will become a fool! It can be because he drank too much, Wang Xin said a lot at once.

"How do you do surgery? How can the human brain be destroyed, it's not worth it. Fang Yuhao said: "According to this reasoning, as long as you think that something is right, even if it is actually contrary to objective facts, you will not blush when you say it." If I get the hang of it, I guess I'll be able to speak as much as I want. ”

"That's true, but there's no way to do it."

Wang Xin held his tongue wide, as if he had drunk a little too much: "Brother, don't mind...... Actually, my second uncle has this ability, so I know a little more than ordinary people, and he also said that this skill cannot be learned...... Hey, in fact, many officials can do this, just like the one who gave a speech on TV, do you think it's all in his heart? There are always so many things in the world that don't go your way, how can it be as good as he says? ”

"Ordinary people just believe it, I don't believe it anyway."

……

After eating this meal, Fang Yuhao was even more puzzled in his heart. In other words, there are still a small number of liars in this world, as I imagined. It is easier for them to climb to the upper echelons of society, and even become the management and leaders of society.

But why did the creator of this world keep such a mechanism?

……

Fang Yuhao continued to live in this world for half a year.

The days were uneventful, safe, and there weren't too many waves. Aside from the occasional "masquerade", it's not much different from a very peaceful old age.

Human thinking is generally conservative, which has even affected various consumption concepts, and there are very few people who take out loans to consume. This also leads to the fact that there are not many people who speculate in real estate, housing prices have never gone up, and people have settled down and worked.

He had also come into contact with so-called "liars", some of whom were embezzlers, others who were spies in shopping malls, and all sorts of people. Humans are always self-interested creatures, they have the ability to lie, and they can easily climb to higher levels, so why not use them?

But in general, this part of the "liars" will not panic too much, because they are also afraid of being seen by others that they lie and will not blush, and they will be isolated by everyone.

Even, among the "liars", a whole set of unspoken rules has naturally formed......
