"Looks like you're already aware."

The inferior glanced at Russell and said flatly, "It seems that these demons are not even restricted in their freedom.

"But they've all been transplanted with another chip – a control chip invented by Thothronic to imprison high-risk prisoners, the Crayon Type II.

"Unlike the protective chip, this control chip exists in nano form, and once injected, it is permanently effective. Therefore, it cannot be taken out either. ”

Crayon ......

Russell muttered, muttering the innocent-sounding and harmless word.

The bad explains: "Some children can play a game. They use crayons to draw a few roads or grids on the ground, then define a certain color as a road, a certain color as a flame, a swamp, and walk on it. They deliberately did not touch the other road, as if they were walking on a single-plank bridge between two buildings. ”

"Ah...... I've heard that kind of game. ”

Russell nodded slowly in a complicated mood: "Ground parkour." ”

In this world, "parkour" is a cool sport.

It has a certain sense of rebellion because it is dangerous and has a "sense of freedom"; But it's not illegal, and it's not considered dangerous or offensive...... It's just running through the rooftops.

Because of this kind of movement, in most cases it is yourself who is harmed.

Even if you rely on special items...... Props such as shoes that can jump from great heights without breaking their legs, hooks that can bounce out of their waists, and special climbing boots that can walk horizontally over buildings allow them to move forward in more imaginative ways.

But for children, it is unlikely that their parents will encourage them to play this dangerous sport and buy them equipment.

So the children liked to draw lines with crayons on the ground. Imagine this is the route they will take when they parkour.

And if the crayons are wiped off the shoes, they are "stepping on the edge", that is, "slipping off" – symbolizing "dead".

They will build more and more complex terrain, and everyone will take turns to solve the problems.

It's better to have a map that only you can pass through and everyone else will "die".

In a sense, it's similar to Made in Mario......

This is actually the same as "police catch thieves" on Earth to simulate chase battles, "hide and seek" to simulate search for prey, and "sandbag" to simulate long-distance combat.

Children are the most innocent. Games that can be popular among children generally vaguely satisfy a certain "nature...... Or "instinct".

Russell had not yet regained the memories of his past life when he was a child, and he had wanted to play "crayon parkour" with the other neighborhood children.

But he was never welcomed.

Because he's too strong. Therefore, he was denied access.

Russell got too much dexterity from his own psychic disease.

Not to mention this childish simulation of parkour...... At a few years old, Russell could easily jump up a tree or climb a tall building. When he was in elementary school, he liked to climb on the classroom door and crouch silently with other classmates. And the moment they entered, jump behind them and hug them to scare them.

Now think about it......

This may be a kind of "instinctive hunting desire" brought to Russell by the psychic disorder.

Although Russell doesn't understand anything, he is still subconsciously imitating feline hunting - he likes to approach others from behind, and quietly pounce and hug each other.

Today, Russell is even able to avoid bullets and even cut them off with a knife.

Of course, those children can't have this kind of dexterity in Chengdu.

This means that the questions they gave Russell back then could never stump Russell; And Russell gave himself a moderately difficult question, which those children could not pass at all...... The game becomes meaningless as a result. Russell stopped playing crayon games a long time ago.

Now these demon prisoners are trapped in a game of "crayons" that will never end......

"They can't leave the 'colors' they prescribe, can they?"

Russell muttered under his breath.

He couldn't help but sigh at the advancement of this method of "captivity". At the same time, there is a creepy fear of this means of control.

It fundamentally eliminates the possibility of "jailbreaking". Because they can't walk on the same standard color ground all the time outside.

Moreover, it can also minimize the difficulty of management -

After all, each prisoner can only walk on a certain color of floor tiles. As soon as they leave their floor tiles, they will immediately feel unbearable pain...... Then there is no need to worry about prisoners running around. By changing the color of the corridor through the machine, one group of prisoners can be controlled to come out and let the wind out, and the others will not be able to leave their rooms at all.

“…… But wouldn't the prisoners fight each other? ”

Russell asked.

This restraint also means that it resolves the "force gap" to the greatest extent.

Even if you can't beat the other party, can't you push people?

As long as you gently touch the other person, you will feel a sharp pain as if you have been shocked by high voltage. And the specifications of the prosthetic body used by everyone are the same, so the difference in strength and physique is almost non-existent.

Instead, this achieves a subtle sense of "fairness".

As long as someone hates you, then they will feel severe pain every day. As long as there are enough people, then it is invincible.

"Because this chip also erases the possibility of suicide and killing each other."

The inferior man spoke slowly: "Demons cannot choose to end their own lives, nor can they endanger the lives of others. With the injection of chips, their minds were also stamped...... They can curse each other, they can curse each other, but they can't attack each other. It's like people who don't have a tail and can never remember how to use it.

"All of their limbs have been removed and replaced with prosthetic limbs that are similar to the original. This also means that their actions can be taken over at any time...... Take the initiative to cross the line, or stop the action to accept the punishment. ”

"And it's full of cameras and bugs. Except for the heavens, and the earth...... And in everyone's eyes and ears. Everything they hear, see, and think will be transmitted to the designated location. All the instructions given by their prosthetics will reach that place and can be interfered with at any time.

"That's where the real 'Memory Armament' research institute is located.

"—As for the demons here, they are nothing more than objects to be studied."

The inferior said, leading Russell to a small room.

As he walked, he slowly explained to Russell: "The one named 'Blind Snake' just now was a volunteer in a kindergarten.

"Because her kindergarten has three times in a row in a year, there are children who have died due to accidents such as falls, cardiac arrest, and sudden death at night, so we are secretly investigating.

"The place where the children fell was not in the kindergarten. It was only when we were investigating these accidents that we connected that they were all related to the kindergarten. Eleven more cases were discovered that had yet to be discovered...... And behind these cases, it is the 'blind snake' who is murdering these children.

"Her psionic power is a poison that has a delayed effect. By giving something a special poison and making it touch the skin of the other party. When exposed to poisons, the other person will become unusually calm and calm. She can then detonate the poison at any point in 48 hours. Paralyze the opponent's whole body for a certain period of time...... The moment of paralysis is equivalent to the time when the other person is exposed to a specific poison. ”

“…… So what is she trying to do? ”

Russell couldn't believe it.

"Nothing."

The inferior said flatly: "When she was in her twenties, she once took a strong and illegal drug that can increase happiness, which caused the throbbing pain of the fetus in her abdomen, stepped on the empty steps, slipped down and miscarried.

That's when her psionic powers were awakened. The ability to make others 'quiet' and 'paralyzed' with a mixture of hate and love. Since she was discharged from the hospital, she has become a volunteer in the kindergarten. While loving other people's children, they are also jealous that they can have healthy children, and at the same time, they have a strong dislike for 'active' children.

And this spiritual energy continues to develop...... She became a demon called 'Close Your Eyes and Hold Your Breath'. Her original wish was to kill the 'active child' as much as possible. She would intermittently paralyze the child's body at first, and if the child was on the brink of danger, she would immediately fall.

Later, if she found out that there was a child who was extremely active but was lucky enough not to die, she would angrily stuff the poison into the other person and paralyze him until he died at night. This process can take several hours, and the child is immobile in bed...... until the heart is paralyzed. At that time, their parents may be around and not know about it. ”

"And such demons are everywhere here - almost every one of them has in their hands the lives of plural, innocent people. The very few who did not have a victim in their hands were also because our arrests were swift enough. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Russell coldly: "Do you understand?"

"Demons are inhuman. When they actually become demons, they are left with only one thought...... A thought that can be ignored for the sake of it as long as it can be achieved. There is no point in reasoning with the devil, because the devil doesn't care about any reason, rules, morals...... They don't even care about the threat to their lives, because they are not even afraid of death. They just want to go as far as they can on this path.

"But the demons will deceive you so that you think they have been persuaded by you.

"If you choose to turn a blind eye...... If you choose to help it hide it, the demon will become more and more extreme and crazy as time passes.

"At first, the demon who only wants to be 'loved' will distort the lover's mind, rewrite the memories of those close to him, and disturb the social relationship he has a crush on someone. Later, he will kill the demon who has attenuated the degree of 'love for himself' at will, unscrupulously trick passers-by into his home, and when the other party 'can't love' himself, he will kill him and 'replace' him.

"Because the demon's desires will gradually expand and distort. On the contrary, their morality, rationality, and other 'blue shift' related values will gradually decay, and they will completely zero when they hatch.

"The morality of the devil is like that of a gamer without any scruples; Compared to players who don't care so much about a certain game and just want to have fun, the demon can do whatever it takes to fulfill his 'wish'. As a result, demons will eventually become more and more dangerous.

"At the end of the day, it's because of what you've gotten that it's no longer precious. If it were ordinary people, they would be disgusted and look for other pleasures at that time...... But the devil won't.

"Because demons only go one way to the dark, they are only interested in one thing. So they are bound to seek stronger and stronger stimuli.

"—The reciprocating cycle never ends."
