Recap
“I agree.”
After speaking, he fell silent and did not explain it.
Chu Shici was confused for a long time, and suddenly realized that this seemed to be a confession.
Zhe-ge agreed to his pursuit and wanted to be with him.
___
Looking at Shen Xiuzhe’s red ears, Chu Shici felt a bit itchy.
Although he has no arms or legs, he has a mouth.
You can play many games with just a mouth.
When the time comes, he will give Zhe-ge a good lesson.
The CP fan leader held up the fluorescent board and leaned over.
[Wow, once he heard that he can still be with you in the future, his vitality increased by 20 points in one go. This CP I support is the most genuine!]
Staring at the fierce 1 sleeping in front of him, Chu Shici’s eyes began to glow green. Zhe-ge agreed. They are now a couple and can legally play some sports.
After being called out by the system several times, Chu Shici came back to his senses.
He thought for a while: ‘It’s not all because of what you said. Zhe-ge is very smart. He probably began to suspect that he was not human when I first proposed the conjecture about this being a holographic world. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted so uneasy that time.’
‘Actually, just like the third world, Zhe-ge is very confused. He needs others to recognize his existence. Now that I recognize him, his mental state will naturally be much better.’
System propped up its chin and tilted its head to look at him.
[There is something that I don’t know whether to say or not.]
‘Say it loud.’
[Have you not noticed that your vitality has been dropping recently? It has already dropped to around 60.]
Chu Shici opened the background data and looked at it. It showed 66 points.
Quite auspicious.
The system put down the glow stick, [I saw you jumping around and thought the statistics were wrong, but after checking with it, it showed that there was nothing wrong with the program. Ah Ci, are you unhappy?]
Chu Shici was silent for a moment, ‘No, I think I’m pretty good.’
[Is it because of Zhe-ge’s eyes?]
After the system asked, the host’s eyes turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those eyes that were always bright and smiling quickly became mist-filled.
He lowered his head and chuckled, ‘Ge, can we not mention this? I just… feel quite guilty. Just pretend you don’t know anything and continue bantering with me. If I take it easy for a few days, I’ll be able to recover on my own.’
The system scratched its head and closed the background control panel.
[You really don’t need this brother to warm you up?]
‘No, thank you, Tong-ge.’
[Let’s talk about it, show me how you cry. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you cry, I’m so hungry.]
‘Go away! ’
[Oh, do you want to try the latest BL game? I just bought it this morning. 18x, more than a hundred playable characters to pursue, very exciting.]
‘Human version or system version? The one you recommended to me last time was the SM styled game. The game allows players to control ball A to hit ball B. It is also called whip play. I’ve even taken off my pants, and you showed me a football battle?’
The system took back the benefits, [Tsk, more than a hundred balls are given to you to play for free, and yet you are not satisfied. If you give this to the dog next door, it will play with it for a year.]
‘Go away!!’
After fighting with the system, Chu Shici regained his composure.
He wiped his tears and saw that it was still early, so he decided to sort out his thoughts first.
According to Xiao Jinzi, the ‘Shen Xiuzhe’ they are looking for will appear in the opposite room.
When she was delivering the news to Zhe-ge, she said, ‘Brother Liu has changed your identities.’
This shows that before the fat steward takes action, there will be two Shen Xiuzhes in this building.
Chu Shici was wondering why this is happening.
Shen Xiuzhe’s adoptive father had a deal with Brother Liu, and the real male protagonist was probably brought in by the adoptive father.
There are only two reasons why there are two Shen Xiuzhes in this building at the same time.
First, Shen Xiuzhe, who had cooperated with Dr. Sun’s camp stole the male protagonist’s relevant data through some means. And created a dummy version of himself.
But this operation is too risky, with two people appearing in a prison at the same time. It would be fine if that person looks ordinary and hard for others to remember. However, Shen Xiuzhe’s face is so eye-catching, one look at him and people will remember it for a lifetime. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that there is an extra person here, there must be something fishy behind it.
At the same time, there is no need to deliberately create a fake male protagonist. He is brought here with a purpose by Boss Shen, if he were to be replaced with a virtual dummy and the big boss notices, it will not be good for them.
That leaves only the last explanation. This prison originally had Shen Xiuzhe’s data.
This artificial male protagonist, like other artificial persons, has been part of this virtual prison since birth.
And Boss Shen knew that there was data about his adopted son in the prison.
Chu Shici’s movements paused.
In other words, this is not the first time that the male protagonist has been captured and sent to this prison.
Even before the New Entertainment Prison was integrated with holographic technology, he had been locked up here.
This prison used the holographic capsule to privately record the victim’s data, including Shen Xiuzhe’s.
Later, after the atrocities in the prison were exposed, the male protagonist was rescued by the government and left the prison to regain his freedom.
After some time, his adoptive father plotted against him. In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he was stuffed into a holographic capsule. Letting his consciousness return to the hell that never sees the light of day.
Chu Shici smacked his lips.
The first time was physical and mental torture.
The second time he was forcefully pushed into an endless loop, he couldn’t die even if he wanted to.
The male protagonist in this world is really miserable.
Chu Shici is a selfish person.
At this moment, he hoped that Zhe-ge was an artificial person and not the real protagonist. If that is so, Zhe-ge will have suffered relatively less.
As for the other Shen Xiuzhe, whether it was out of sympathy or his own peace of mind, Chu Shici will definitely help.
The camp they and Dr. Sun are in seemed to have a large number of people. And there are many people among them who can freely enter and exit the virtual worlds.
Helping him means fighting against this prison and helping Zhe-ge.

Early the next morning, Chu Shici got up in a daze.
He noticed that Zhe-ge had not taken a shower, and was lying on his side next to him.
Chu Shici replied blankly, “Good morning.”
Shen Xiuzhe said nothing.
His eyes were covered with cloth, and there was no expression on his face. He neither spoke nor moved, and others could not tell whether he was awake or not.
Chu Shici thought for a moment, then leaned over with a smile, “Zhe-ge, I want you to kiss me.”
Shen Xiuzhe finally reacted.
He touched the small speaker lightly with his lips and got out of bed with red ears.
To be honest, Chu Shici was a little shocked.
He didn’t expect that Shen Xiuzhe will kiss the speaker at all. It can be seen that Zhe-ge really likes him, even if his appearance is just a speaker.
However, with Shen Xiuzhe’s pitifully pure mind, he couldn’t think of anything else besides friendly touch.
But what he doesn’t know is that there are so many games that people and speakers could play together.
When Shen Xiuzhe came out of the shower, the morning news was playing on the little speaker.
Chu Shici turned around when he heard the sound and saw Zhe-ge buttoning his shirt.
When they were still friends, Shen Xiuzhe often came out wearing a bath towel.
Now that their relationship is established, he feels a little shy in front of the heart-shaped box.
It was rare that there was no mosaic this morning. The system thought it was a program failure and ran out of the system space.
Seeing the tightly covered Shen Xiuzhe, it clicked its tongue.
[The buttons are tied to the top, not even a bit of the collarbones can be seen. He really is an old-fashioned and boring man.]
Just when Chu Shici was about to agree, Shen Xiuzhe suddenly walked up to him and pointed to his clothes: “What color is this?”
Chu Shici looked at it: “Black.”
Shen Xiuzhe didn’t look satisfied.
He unbuttoned it several times, hesitated for two seconds, turned his back to the small speaker, and took off his shirt.
He felt his way to the box of clothes beside the table and began to look through his clothes.
The water temperature might have been a bit hot this morning, his pale skin was reddened by the heat. After a while, the temperature dissipated slightly, and the skin on his back turned light pink again.
Chu Shici silently raised his phone and took a photo.
The system chuckled strangely next to him.
Shen Xiuzhe picked up a piece of clothing and said, “This one?”
“Black.”
“This?”
“White. Zhe-ge, what are you looking for?”
Shen Xiuzhe ignored him and continued to ask.
He didn’t stop until he found a pink shirt at the bottom of the case.
Looking at that pink shirt, and then at the pink stickers on himself.
Chu Shici suddenly realized that Zhe-ge wanted to match with Little Speaker.
Facts have proved that if you look good, you will look good in anything you wear. After putting on the pink shirt, Shen Xiuzhe’s aura of keeping people away was much weakened.
But when Chu Shici looked at this pink shirt, he always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He stared at the shirt in front of him for a long time, then hesitantly asked: “Zhe-ge, have you never been to the utility room before?”
Shen Xiuzhe hummed coldly.
Chu Shici saw fragments of pink fabric and dusty buttons in the utility room earlier.
It was as if someone had had their clothes violently torn to pieces in that small room.
The buttons on Zhe-ge’s clothes are exactly the same as the buttons found on the floor in the utility room.
Chu Shici was shocked for a minute, thinking that Zhe-ge could have been taken advantage of.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly remembered something.
There are two Shen Xiuzhes here, and they are carved from the same mold.
It’s just one of the bodies that contains his husband’s soul, and has a slightly different personality. There is basically no difference between them.
Zhe-ge has a pink shirt, and the male protagonist probably also has a pink shirt of the same style.
Chu Shici smacked his lips, since Zhe-ge is fine…
Wouldn’t that mean that the other male protagonist had his clothes ripped off? He is just a person from this small world, he doesn’t seem to be as capable of fighting as Zhe-ge.
Chu Shici was a little worried, so he turned around and told the system his conjecture, and finally asked hesitantly: ‘Tong-ge, when the Supervision Department punishes souls, will it also torture the original host of other small worlds?’
[They are government agencies, not bandit leaders, how can they do that kind of thing? Even if it were to be done, it will only be to secretly modify the lives of one or two people at most, and the changes should not be too large.]
‘I don’t understand. Ge, but I’ve always been concerned about one thing. How did these punishment worlds come about? Is it specially customized for Zhe-ge?’
The system shook his head and told him the general process.
The court convicts the prisoner and the Ministry of Supervision conducts a screening of the small worlds. Among hundreds of millions of small worlds, they will pick out the worlds that are already developing abnormally.
Secondary screening to find worlds that are highly compatible with the criminal’s crime.
The system boss told it that Zhe-ge had committed many crimes, though it was mainly two major crimes they were concerned about.
Through various means, he forcibly tampered with the fate of the residents of a small world, that is, Chu Shici’s world.
He used his special abilities many times to control and modify the time flow of the small world, severely affecting the normal progress of the small world.
For a crime like Zhe-ge’s, for every change he made, he will face several times the punishment.
For example, when he saved the young Chu Shici, he would be violated likewise. He protected Chu Shici from being violently assaulted, and he will face the same fate.
Therefore, the Ministry of Supervision looked at the state of the small worlds when selecting, and chose a small world where pedophile criminal groups are rampant. Then put Zhe-ge’s soul into the male protagonist’s body in his childhood.
After that, among hundreds of millions of other choices, they picked out the most suitable one. Throw him in and let him be turned into an artificial human.
Every punishment world that was chosen follows this process.
The system secretly looked at Chu Shici’s expression, fearing that he would be sad after hearing this. After making sure that the vitality value did not drop further, it breathed a sigh of relief.
[If they want the criminal’s soul to replace the original host, they will give the original host’s soul a certain amount of compensation, and then send them to a slightly more advanced world. Like this time, your Zhe-ge may be stuffed into the body of an artificial human. This body doesn’t originally have a soul. Hence, they don’t need to send anyone away. He can live his life however he wants.]
The process seemed very formal, Chu Shici nodded.
So it is not their arrival that makes the world filthy. It’s these worlds that are inherently rubbish.
Chu Shici’s guilt for punishing the world’s indigenous people disappeared in an instant.
It sounded like Zhe-ge had saved him many times. Perhaps he had been silently guarding him in a corner that he couldn’t see.
Risking punishment, trying his best to give him a better life.
Chu Shici took a deep breath.
His great kindness could not be repaid, so he decided to pledge himself to him. In life, he is Zhe-ge’s person, in death he is also Zhe-ge’s corpse.
After chatting with the system, Chu Shici left the system space.
As soon as he went out, he saw Shen Xiuzhe standing in front of him like a wooden pole.
Chu Shici understood instantly and tapped the table with the plug, “Zhe-ge, you look so handsome in this outfit. Wow, we have the same color, we match so well!”
He acted too exaggeratedly, and Shen Xiuzhe’s face turned slightly red.
He pressed the small speaker: “Quiet. Listen to the news.”
Chu Shici used the program to automatically record the news and can listen to it at any time. He doesn’t need to keep listening to it. He didn’t pay attention just now.
He listened carefully and heard a piece of news.
[# The first batch of holographic capsules produced and developed by #ImagineLife company was officially put into use today. The country and the people have high hopes for holographic technology. People believe that this technology will be the key to opening the door to a new era. #]
Chu Shici was stunned.
They heard the news the day before yesterday that this thing was still under development.
Put it to use today? Isn’t this a little too fast?
