The fifth world: The Blind Artist and his Smart Speaker (28)

Recap

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.

___

In addition to chickens and monkeys, this prison also houses dogs and rats.

Unlike the first two, they were not sent from a Moral School and had not made any mistakes to result in a low moral value themselves.

In fact, the so-called moral reformation is nothing more than a fig leaf. No one here cares about whether the person in question deserves to die or whether he or she deserves to be punished.

Here, the audience is free from the law and can enjoy the euphoria of determining another soul’s fate. They are able to stand tall and upright on a moral pedestal established by oneself and praise themselves as a messenger of justice with a clear conscience.

In fact, everyone knows that this is just a show of capital.

As long as enough money is given, the prison can find ways to forge false charges. They can even skip the step of pouring dirty water on the person and directly take the person to jail.

Most of the dogs locked up here have offended powerful people. Dogs that have bitten people cannot be kept. They must be brought here and trained well. If they are not trained well, they will be sent to the Monster Room where their last bit of value will be squeezed out.

At that time, the Monster Room was just an ordinary arena. There are real vicious dogs inside, and people are thrown in and the vicious dogs are let loose to bite them.

Officer Li, who was once imprisoned in Room 3, is the most typical example of a person in the dog category.

He performed his duties conscientiously and destroyed a criminal den, which was a great meritorious service.

Someone paid for his life, and while he was on vacation alone, the prison secretly captured him.

The police soon discovered that he was missing and never gave up looking for him.

But the prison is not a place that would arouse suspicion, and there are backers behind it to help it cover up its tracks. So, the investigation has not made any progress.

When Officer Li was locked up in Room 3, he thought about escaping every day.

According to the information the male protagonist uncovered afterwards, it can be understood that the reason why Officer Li acted impulsively was because he wanted to save a little girl.

The little girl and Officer Li lived in the same area. They captured the little girl first, then Officer Li.

The little girl’s parents are divorced and she lives with her grandmother. She had just entered junior high school and encountered bullying on campus. Timid, cowardly and unsociable, she has no friends and often goes to a nearby bookstore to read books alone.

Very few people come to the bookstore during winter and summer vacations. Sometimes she is the only customer for the entire day.

When the bookstore owner deliberately approached her, she mistakenly thought it was love.

The girl is too young and lacks familiar love. Even if her boss is more than twenty years older than her, and even if she doesn’t like her boss, she still cherishes this hard-won relationship.

The boss was able to lure her in, coaxed and tricked her into doing that kind of thing. It didn’t take long for their affairs to be discovered by the landlady.

She knew that the girl was innocent, but she didn’t want her pedophilic husband, whom she thought was just confused, to go to jail.

After being introduced by a friend, the couple found a prison intermediary and told him about the girl’s situation.

They said that her parents didn’t care about her, her grandma was lame and mute. She is transparent in the class. In this world, only the disabled grandma cares about her life and death.

In the little girl’s situation, the chances of being rescued are simply pitiful.

The pair of scumbags gave the middleman a thousand yuan, and the bookstore owner threatened the girl with nude photos to lure the girl into an alley. The prison kidnapped her along the way to capture Officer Li.

The little girl is not strong, she will be gone in a few seconds after being thrown into the Monster Room, so she cannot be a dog.

She looks ordinary, even if she is raised as a spare chicken, no big boss will choose her.

Rats are the least valuable thing here.

In addition to regular sources of resources such as Moral Schools in various places, the prison also goes out to purchase goods themselves.

They have a special middleman, like the little girl.

Occasionally, they would go to some remote areas and spend money to buy people. Let the villagers in the backcountry mistakenly think that following them out will make a lot of money in the big cities. Or they will try to initiate cooperation with some forces in neighboring countries to deceive foreigners.

The people Chu Shici saw in the prison who spoke with obvious accents were the external forces cooperating with the prison.

The goods are then delivered to the prison through various means.

First, they will give the Big Boss a video of the goods to inspect, the chosen ones are the chickens. If anyone was not selected, but looks good enough, they can be used as a backup chicken.

Those who are physically stronger can be used as dogs. Those who look valuable can be labeled with a random crime and sent to be used as monkeys.

The remaining ones without any characteristics are rats.

The lucky rats work as free labor in the prison, doing dirty and tiring work. Those who are unlucky will be either sold for illegal human experimentation, or they will be dismantled into parts and their organs sold.

Abundant and cheap.

It would be a waste to send this poor little girl to be a rat. After all, there are not many children in the prison.

In the end, they decided to let her be a monkey, label her as a ‘mistress’ or ‘seduced a married man’, and throw her into a room to live broadcast to make money.

Those pedophiles cloaked in the armor of moral justice immediately rushed over like sharks smelling blood. Taking the fabricated lies as the truth, the guards violated her live and forced her to confess.

The child was timid and afraid. A group of people called her a third party, and over time, she also felt that it was her fault.

She was terrorized to believe that she had broken the law and was afraid of being arrested by the police. Gradually, her thinking began to distort, and she regarded this prison as her safe haven.

Officer Li died in the process of rescuing her.

___

This prison is divided into two halves.

In the first half, Imagine Life has not yet officially launched the holographic capsule, and holographic technology has not been integrated with the New Entertainment prison yet.

The prison is still an ordinary prison, and the staff and people imprisoned inside are also living people.

At that time, Officer Li took advantage of the opportunity when the staff delivered the food, knocked out the delivery person, and snatched the elevator card. Taking advantage of the lax defense, he successfully escaped from this floor.

He grabbed a guard and asked for the girl’s location. Then he ran over quietly, picked up the girl, and wanted to run away with her.

Officer Li comforted the girl, “I am a policeman. Come with uncle. Uncle will help you get out.”

By then, the girl had been brainwashed, and the sentence “I am a policeman” completely triggered her switch. She thought she was going to be taken away by the police and screamed and cried at the top of her lungs.

The sound attracted more guards, and eventually Officer Li was surrounded and beaten to death. The little girl did not survive.

In the second half, the first batch of holographic capsules were put into trial, and the prison secretly bought a few.

They entered the information of the inmates in the prison and saved it for later use.

As for the dead, the machine can simulate the appearance and the way of thinking of the deceased through the memories and descriptions from multiple people.

The first victim in Room 3 was an unlucky lawyer. As a dog, he was torn into parts by real dogs in the Monster Room.

The second victim was Officer Li, who was also a dog. He died on the way to escape.

The third victim, the poor woman, was a monkey. During the live broadcast, an audience member suggested an extremely heavy appetite* game, and she was played to death.

*(extreme kink)

They were dead before the prison had fully switched to the use of holographic capsules.

This type of person made from data is woven from the memories of the guards. It is mixed with a lot of subjective flavors, and its way of thinking is much more rigid and stubborn than that of an artificial person generated from a real person’s data.

The lawyer would cry in front of the photos of his wife and daughter in the room, while Officer Li would make a fuss and worry about rescuing the little girl, and the poor woman would not resist.

They all have a set pattern of behavioral patterns.

The male protagonist once thought about whether to cooperate with the Police Officer Li, but the Police Officer will not adapt at all. The word ‘rescue’ has been engraved into his program.

Officer Li will always carry out this order.

___

Chu Shici guessed correctly, the male protagonist had stepped foot into this prison for the second time.

When he first came in, this was an ordinary New Entertainment prison full of scum.

The male protagonist, who is new to the world, has not yet realized that the human heart is sinister. He thought his senior framed him because he rejected his pursuit.

In fact, this was the adoptive father’s trap.

The male protagonist went to experience nightlife, but his adoptive father found out. He firmly believed that if the male protagonist was allowed to wander outside, sooner or later he would become a useless good-for-nothing.

He talked to the male protagonist and found that the male protagonist wanted to escape from his grasp.

The adoptive father felt that the child was finished. Useless, and hopeless.

He wanted to lock up the male protagonist, but the male protagonist is a public figure and always has to show his face. He cannot illegally imprison him.

So he secretly instigated the male protagonist’s senior and put on a big show. Drag the superior male protagonist through the mud. Guide public opinion and spread negative news about him with impunity.

After many people who were not aware of the truth voted, the male protagonist’s moral value was successfully reduced to negative numbers.

The male protagonist is out of touch with the times. He does not know the existence of moral values, let alone that he can add moral values back after winning the lawsuit.

He did not register with the relevant departments, and his adoptive father neither told him nor asked others to tell him.

Some time after the male protagonist graduated from college, the Moral School invested by his adoptive father was finally built.

The adoptive father secretly registered the male protagonist’s name and filed a record, saying that the male protagonist had voluntarily signed himself up to be reformed.

Then he replaced his cold medicine, and while the male protagonist was knocked unconscious by the medicine late at night, the people in the prison swaggered into the villa, packed him up, and took him to the prison for reform.

When the male protagonist first arrived, the poor woman was still alive and he didn’t live on the 12th floor.

The 10th floor is where the Monster Room is for dogs, while the 7th floor is where the monkeys focus on live broadcasting.

The male protagonist lives on the fifth floor with the other chickens.

In addition to daily live broadcasts of chickens and dogs and the persecution of rats, the prison also makes money through gambling.

This is another specialty of this world, Dangerous Games.

Inspired by Dangerous Games, Prison creates a real-life locked escape room in the prison.

They made a bunch of cards and told the audience and the imprisoned people that by collecting the cards, their wishes would come true.

Senior viewers are invited to come and participate voluntarily.

Lao Wang, who lives next door to Room 3, is one of the contestants. On the floor where both of them are residing, there were other spectators participating in the game.

The audience can experience prison life and collect cards to redeem rewards. Victims compete with them for a chance to leave alive.

The prison will send the contestants and the monkeys to the live broadcast room on the first floor. Whoever takes the opportunity to do something dangerous will be able to move up the floor.

For example, try to escape, or kill the monkeys around you.

Spectators place bets on whether someone will die that day.

The higher the floors, the better the rooms, and the stricter the guards.

The prison will take the opportunity to observe and see if anyone has the intention and courage to escape by using the collection cards as a lure to fish them out.

On the surface, increasing the floor level is a way to get more opportunities to collect cards. But in fact, it’s just a sturdier cage.

The collectible card game is a lie from beginning to end.

Under the prison’s guidance, only participating spectators can collect all the cards.

The victims didn’t know that it was a lie, they saw someone going out and thought they could do it as well. Little do they know that those people are just spending money to experience their life.

The male protagonist is a chicken, and the chickens live broadcast with other chickens. They have a special live broadcast room.

The big bosses will watch their every move within 24 hours. Bosses who have chickens will take a look at how their chickens are doing. The boss who has no chicken can choose a chicken from the spare chickens.

The male protagonist didn’t know this at the time. He thought this was an opportunity to escape, so he climbed over the wall and tried to jump out.

Unlike Chu Shici’s Zhe Ge, the male protagonist is not that good at fighting. He only ran out a few steps before he was caught.

The adoptive father watched the entire process through the live broadcast. He felt that the male protagonist was disobedient and was still confused.

It just so happens that the male protagonist once showed the adoptive father his ability to draw with his eyes closed. The adoptive father thought that it did not seem to matter whether he has eyes or not. So the prison guard was asked to blind the male protagonist. Save him from the colorful world outside.

The person responsible for this task was previously physically castrated by the male protagonist because he had harassed him.

Finally finding an opportunity for revenge, he dug out the male protagonist’s eyes after obtaining permission.

Because the male protagonist is dishonest, and always thinks about escaping, they changed his room. It happened that the woman in Room 3 on the 12th floor was recently played to death, so the male protagonist moved into her room.

The woman was a monkey and was once violated live in Room 3. Her room has a fully transparent bathroom with all-round surveillance.

The male protagonist is a boss’s chicken, no one can broadcast his private life without Boss Shen’s permission.

After he entered, the surveillance was turned off, leaving only the transparent bathroom that had not been dismantled. Anyway, the male protagonist is blind and cannot see what the bathroom looks like.

The male protagonist failed to escape and lost his eyes. His claws were completely numb. He can’t escape, so he can only paint honestly.

He was imprisoned in this dark place for five years.

___

When Chu Shici heard this, his head was buzzing.

He turned to look at Shen Xiuzhe who was sitting at the side, his eyes falling on the white cloth on his face.

In the male protagonist’s memory in the original text, his eyes were gouged out.

Even when the data of the male protagonist was generated, they did not restore Zhe-ge’s sight. The fat steward who betrayed the organization did a perfect restoration in order to make Zhe-ge look exactly like the male protagonist.

Chu Shici can no longer deceive himself.

He looked at Shen Xiuzhe in silence, his vision getting blurry. He lowered his head and tears fell silently.

Neither of them spoke for a while then, the male protagonist’s cold voice came from the speaker and echoed in the room.

Chu Shici was restless and unable to stay rational.

He pressed the pause button, took a deep breath and whispered softly: “There is too much information, let’s take a break and listen to it later.”

Shen Xiuzhe touched the white cloth on his face with his fingertips, and his voice, which was always cold and without any fluctuations, could not help but tremble slightly at this moment, “Have you guessed it a long time ago?”

“En. Zhe-ge, are you still feeling any discomfort?”

Shen Xiuzhe didn’t answer. He was silent for a long time and turned his head to the side. “Even if I can’t see it, I know that my face under this cloth is ugly.”

“No, Zhe-ge…You…”

Before Chu Shici finished speaking, Shen Xiuzhe suddenly raised his hand and pulled off the cloth.

System, who had been watching quietly, immediately took a sharp intake of breath, [Fuck!]

Chu Shici’s mind went blank.

After two seconds, he finally reacted. First he sobbed softly twice, and then burst into tears.

Shen Xiuzhe pursed his lips and raised his lips in a mocking smile. He was about to say something self-deprecating when he heard the little speaker crying and cursing at the top of his lungs.

“Damn it! Who dug out my husband’s eyes? Tell me, I’ll fucking pull his eyes out!!!”

“Fuck, that must have hurt so much! Zhe-ge, just wait. When I become a human, I will avenge you! Those scums, they must repay two, no…ten folds as much!”

“No, I can’t swallow this injustice. Even if those beasts are sentenced to death in the future, I will dig up their graves and use their ashes to build toilets!”

Chu Shici cursed them for a long time. The more he scolded, the angrier he became, and the more he cried, the more sad he became. In the end, he ran out of curse words and went back to vehemently wishing to pluck their eyeballs out.

Shen Xiuzhe’s originally stiff body gradually relaxed.

He raised his hand and stroked the small speaker, “I was unconscious the whole time so it didn’t hurt.”

Chu Shici hugged the system and cried until his face turned red.

He wiped his tears and cursed them several times more, “It’s okay, Zhe-ge, it’s not ugly, you’re not ugly at all. If you care a lot about this, we can get you a prosthetic eye in the future, put it on and it’ll be fine.”

“I-You-I, I feel so fucking upset!!!”

Shen Xiuzhe has never seen anyone who can cry so much. He can cry better than him. A single person can cry as much as two people.

Now Shen Xiuzhe is not worried that his wife thinks he is ugly. He is worried that Ah Ci will faint from crying.

It would be great if Ah Ci had a body, so that he could wipe Ah Ci’s tears and not worry about water getting into the small speaker.

Chu Shici was so dizzy from crying, when he vaguely heard a background sound, his eyes were too swollen to see what was written on it.

After the two of them calmed down, Shen Xiuzhe continued to listen to the recording.

Listening to the male protagonist’s recount, Chu Shici finally understood what the cycles in this prison were.

    It’s not. It’s understandable that someone would be angry reading it.
