Recap
Chu Shici wrapped his fingers around him again: “Zhe-ge, please touch me. I’m not a human being. I’m a small speaker. A person has to be really crazy to have ideas about a speaker.”
“People can’t, at least they shouldn’t have such a heavy appetite.”
Shen Xiuzhe: ……
What about me?
___
Shen Xiuzhe was not someone who couldn’t distinguish priorities, he was just jealous.
Chu Shici repeatedly swore that he will never go behind Zhe-ge’s back and get close to the male protagonist. After coaxing for a while, Shen Xiuzhe relaxed.
Afterwards, he asked Zhe-ge, “I’m just a speaker, what do you have to worry about?”
Shen Xiuzhe’s face turned red from holding it in, and after holding it in for a long time, he said, “Your voice will make people think.”
Chu Shici felt that Zhe-ge had made great progress, and he even learned to be romantic.
After receiving the assurance from his lover, Shen Xiuzhe felt relieved. His expression softened, he hugged the small speaker, kissed him, then covered himself with a quilt and began to catch up on his sleep.
Chu Shici often stayed up late and couldn’t fall asleep until one or two o’clock in the morning.
The system ran out to make out with its boss.
It couldn’t beat the boss, and was pressed down on the bed as a 1. Every time it goes there happily and comes back crying, forgetting about food and in the mood to play anymore.
His husband is sleeping and his brother is not at home. In the lonely night, Chu Shici was left alone with his thoughts.
He was first worried that the male protagonist would be locked behind a metal door and would have no chance to contact them. Later he thought about it, since the male protagonist can cooperate with Dr. Sun and his gang, he must have his own abilities.
There is no need for Zhe-ge to save the world this time, they can just wait here to receive the signal.
Looking at Shen Xiuzhe who was sleeping soundly, Chu Shici suddenly became curious about the difference between his Zhe-ge and the male protagonist.
The male protagonist in the original text is aloof and has no interest in anything other than painting.
Zhe-ge’s aloofness is just an act. He is just shy and not good at expressing himself.
Chu Shici still remembered that when he first came to this world, Shen Xiuzhe had a mental breakdown, grabbed him and threw him to the ground. It caused a dent on the small speaker and wiped off a few pieces of paint.
After that, the relationship between the two became better. Shen Xiuzhe touched the recessed area of the small speaker and said sorry in a cold voice.
The tone sounded particularly dull, but Chu Shici could see guilt and uneasiness on his face.
Zhe-ge is a fake iceberg who blushes after being teased twice. He doesn’t know what the male protagonist is like.
Ever since he was dragged by a small speaker to play once, Shen Xiuzhe felt like he had opened the door to a new world.
Every time after taking a shower, he will circle around the small speaker in his bath towel. Chu Shici will ignore him, he is like a wooden stick, stuck on the table.
After being ignored a few times, Shen Xiuzhe learned the ropes.
He raised his hand and bent his waist, as if he had accidentally dropped the bath towel. While stiffening and blushing, he showed off his strong and sexy figure to Ah Ci.
It was like he had printed out the three words “I want to do it” and stuck them on his body.
Thye play the two-person games twice a day, and whenever he throws a tantrum, he will have his wife pacify and coax him.
Shen Xiuzhe received both psychological and physical satisfaction, and his vitality level kept rising.
In more than a week, it successfully increased to 60.
Chu Shici counted on his fingers. With 20 more points, he will be able to become a human.
___
As Chu Shici expected, the male protagonist had a plan in hand.
At noon on Tuesday, the person delivering lunch to them was not a familiar face, but a somewhat unfamiliar middle-aged man.
He pushed the food cart in and put Set C on the table.
Chu Shici looked up at him curiously when he saw the man holding Shen Xiuzhe’s shoulders and approaching him.
Shen Xiuzhe’s body stiffened for a moment, then quickly regained his composure.
He tilted his head slightly, listening to the man whisper to him.
After five seconds, Shen Xiuzhe nodded. The man stood up satisfied and pushed the cart away.
After the metal door closed, Chu Shici asked curiously: “Zhe-ge?”
As Shen Xiuzhe opened the lunch box, he explained in a low voice: “He and Xiao Jinzi are teammates, Xiao Jinzi is a chicken, and he is a mouse, responsible for doing chores. A few days ago, the person who delivered the food was beaten by ‘Shen Xiuzhe’ from the opposite room. His psychological counseling has not been completely carried out, and he cannot continue to work.”
“There is one less delivery person in charge of this floor, and he has been put in to take over this shift. He will be responsible for the delivery, but he doesn’t know how long he can do it. Just now, he told me about the cooperation invitation of ‘Shen Xiuzhe’ .”
The hero’s invitation? Chu Shici knocked on the table, indicating for him to continue speaking.
Shen Xiuzhe placed the food on the table and rummaged through it one by one with his chopsticks.
Chu Shici turned his little wheel and ran to the lunch box: “Zhe-ge, what are you looking for?”
Shen Xiuzhe pushed his chopsticks around for a long time and pursed his lips tightly.
“He gave me a promise. Same as Xiao Jinzi, ‘Shen Xiuzhe’ from the opposite room gives me a promise that when he leaves here, he will move me to a safe place. They have researchers from Imagine Life who have the ability to load my data into a safe place.”
He looked through all the food, but there was nothing in it.
Shen Xiuzhe’s face darkened, “The other ‘me’ said that he knows that I don’t know anything now, otherwise I would not have let things develop to this point. In order to show sincerity, he hid the truth in the meal.”
Chu Shici raised his head and looked at the food blankly.
The dishes have been changed during this time. Set C has become fried buns, stir-fried potato chips, a bowl of tofu soup, and two taels of rice.
Chu Shici’s eyes swept between several dishes, and finally settled on the fried buns.
He poked the buns with his plug one by one and found a small, inconspicuous hole in the bun buried at the bottom.
When Shen Xiuzhe heard his movements, he took out the bun and tore it open.
A USB drive tightly wrapped in plastic wrap fell into the rice bowl along with the bun filling.
The plastic wrap was covered with oil. Shen Xiuzhe picked it up and fumbled to unzip it.
Chu Shici watched this scene silently and said with some confusion: “Since he is the person delivering the food, why doesn’t he just give you the USB flash drive instead of hiding it in the food?”
Shen Xiuzhe loves to be clean. Now that he has oil on his hands, he is in a bad mood.
“He didn’t say it, but I can guess the reason. I can differentiate everyone’s footsteps, so I can be sure that the person who came to deliver the food yesterday was not him. He has never been here before.”
“There is a food delivery rule on this floor. The food will be sent to this room first, and then to Room 3 opposite. I will see him first before the other ‘me’ can see him, the order cannot be changed. That person is just a temporary worker and will be replaced at any time. Maybe he can only serve for one day.”
Before Shen Xiuzhe finished speaking, Chu Shici understood what he meant.
The strange man who delivers the food is just a messenger.
It was the male protagonist who first contacted the person who wrote the note and told him what he wanted to say to Zhe-ge in advance. Then the person who wrote the note will use his power to find an opportunity to stuff the USB drive into the meal.
They probably got their stuff days ago and had just been biding their time.
The person who delivered the food went to the back kitchen to find the food truck and got in touch with the person who wrote the note.
Go to Room 3 to deliver food to Zhe-ge and help the male protagonist bring him a message.
When Zhe-ge nodded and agreed to cooperate, he delivered the meal to the other side and told the male protagonist about the cooperation.
During this trip, everything he did and every process he did was completely align with prison standards and would not arouse any suspicion.
Be cautious and alert. The organization that cooperates with the male protagonist is very reliable at first glance.
Chu Shici just looked at the greasy USB flash drive and then at the messy food.
The protagonist and his friends really like to hide things in their meals.
It’s just a pain for Zhe-ge.
He smashed the food with his own hands and took out strange foreign objects. In the end, he still has to eat all the contents in the lunch boxes and destroy the evidence so that no one will notice anything unusual.
If Chu Shici hadn’t found the place where the items are hidden, he might have swallowed it too.
___
Chu Shici’s smart speaker does not have the function of inserting a USB flash drive, but the Bluetooth speaker sent by the fat steward can.
That time when Shen Xiuzhe was dragged by the fat steward to be paraded in front of Dr. Sun for the first time, Dr. Sun said that Shen Xiuzhe was depressed and needed a relaxing environment, and asked Brother Liu to improve his living environment.
Brother Liu just randomly picked one Bluetooth speaker from a bunch of Bluetooth speakers to appease him. There is no Internet connection, and it is not smart. It can only plug in a USB flash drive and play random songs.
It has very few functions and is useless, though they didn’t expect it to be useful today.
Shen Xiuzhe walked over to where he had kept the speaker based on his memory and played a song first to test the volume. After making sure that the sound would not be transmitted outside, he pulled out the USB flash drive that came with it and inserted the newly obtained USB flash drive into it.
The next second, melodious music sounded in the room.
This kind of speaker makes it impossible to skip songs. Shen Xiuzhe held the small speaker and waited patiently for the music to end.
Three songs and a cross talk were played in succession, then, a man’s voice came from the speaker.
His voice and tone were exactly the same as Shen Xiuzhe’s.
[# Hello, another me. You can hear this audio, which means that things are out of my control and I need your help. #]
[# You are my data, I am your essence, we are the same person living in two different worlds. You and I have the same appearance and the same way of thinking. I believe there is no better partner in this prison than you. #]
[# As a string of data, the only thing you lack is information. Now I will tell you the complete story of this ridiculous farce. At the same time, I hope you can cooperate with me. #]
Chu Shici listened for a while and suddenly realized that the difference between the male protagonist and Zhe-ge was actually very obvious.
Their voices were exactly the same, but the male protagonist’s tone was extremely arrogant. Based on his achievements, this arrogance is not offensive, but natural.
And Zhe-ge may have walked through too many punishment worlds, and his soul has been in a state of exhaustion for a long time. When he spoke, his tone barely rose and fell, sounding like an emotionless audio record.
Chu Shici was very confident.
He believes that even if his Zhe-ge and the male protagonist were to stand in front of him at the same time, he can accurately tell which one is his.
___
Through the male protagonist’s narration, combined with the information at hand, Chu Shici finally figured out the whole story.
When the hero was a child, there was only TV news and newspapers. News spreads very slowly to a large audience base.
They are the official source of information and have a fairly high authority.
When the male protagonist grew up and walked out of the villa built by his adoptive father, he found that the world had changed.
Imagine Life defeated other competitors and mastered the most advanced technology. In less than ten years, technology has developed rapidly.
First, mobile phones entered the public eye, and then came the ultra-realistic VR technology, which was popularized by the media and came at ultra-low prices.
In less than ten years, Imagine Life has pushed the entire society into a new era.
Neither the people nor the country have been able to adapt to this change.
Real and fake information spread rapidly through the Internet. The government has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and has not yet prepared special management measures.
They have high hopes for these new technologies, seeing them as the key to a new era.
The people relied too much on the Internet, and the government failed to respond in time, which ultimately led the country down a wrong path.
In the beginning, netizens spontaneously formed groups to gather information on the Internet and spread it within the group. When the group feels that the person is guilty, they will seek their own justice through the Internet.
A few years later, the Moral Observation Network was established and Moral Values became a norm.
As long as they do not violate the law, those with low moral values will not go to jail, but they will be discriminated against and lose their jobs and social status.
After some time, the first moral schools came into being.
Thanks to the vigorous propaganda of concerned people, almost all parents have sent their children with low moral values to moral schools.
At the same time, the emergence of moral criminalization led to the creation of the New Entertainment Prison.
Excessive entertainment has led to social deformation, and the government has also decided to replace the death penalty with the New Entertainment Law.
As long as a large enough reward is given through the live broadcast, the death row inmate can be commanded to do things within regulations.
For example, kowtow to apologize to the victim’s family, slap themselves in the face to repent.
The government originally had good intentions, but this live broadcast of punishing criminals has gradually become distorted.
The audience gave a lot of money and began asking the condemned prisoners to harm themselves. The prison wanted to make more money and avoid government management, so it chose to secretly cooperate with the Moral School.
They started to smuggle students who have been sent to increase their moral values to the New Entertainment Prison. Cover their faces and only revealed the mistakes they made.
Through illegal live broadcast, some radicals were attracted to the live broadcast room.
People who come to Moral Schools are divided into two types.
One is a chicken and the other is a monkey.
Chickens are raised in captivity and have owners who want them to be reformed.
Chickens cannot die without permission, nor can they be physically traumatized.
Staff in the prison expect to make money through high tuition fees and rewards after successful reformation. To them, these are chickens that lay golden eggs.
The person who sent them in wanted to transform the pheasant into a phoenix.
But monkeys are different.
Most of them are abandoned by the people around them because their Moral Values are too low. Or a loved one died, and no one cared about their life or death.
These kinds of fatherless and motherless monkeys were brought in by some people who wanted to take revenge on them and raise funds for themselves.
The monkey’s only value here is to use its body to perform and please the audience.
People who have abused cats and dogs will be whipped and tortured. Drown repeatedly in the pool, or set fire to the body.
Bullies will be stripped naked and forced to eat excrement.
Peeping toms will have their eyes poked out, thieves will have their fingers chopped off, and cheating men will have to be physically castrated.
Let the audience decide on whatever retribution they think the low-life deserves.
The last woman who lived in Room 3 was a sex worker.
When a man was visiting her, his wife followed, and she was sent to prison by that couple.
According to the requirements here, a prostitute with low morals like her will be violated day and night until the audience in the live broadcast room is satisfied.
And no matter what kind of monkey it is, they will eventually be tortured to death.
There is no one in this world who cares about them.
The prison wants to make money, while the audience wants to satisfy their selfish desires, and no one wants to delve into whether they have actually made a mistake.
And thus, the monkey dies in front of the camera, quietly.
