Bai Wu thought of a famous game, a game that would keep restarting if a certain ending was not reached.
It looks like there are multiple rounds, but in fact there is only one round.
Bai Wu looked at Jia Kai'er's body and found that there was no flesh and blood growing on Jia Kai'er's body. She was still wrapped in a layer of special metal that looked soft but was actually very tough.
At this moment, Jia Kaier may indeed conform to the aesthetics of the mechanical race, as her body has not yet fallen off due to flesh and blood.
However, even though she was wrapped in a layer of metal, Jia Kaier's outline still looked like a slim and hot human being.
If viewed from a distance, Bai Wu believed that Jia Kaier's figure was also quite attractive to humans.
She was still unconscious, lying on her side.
A beautiful female robot. Although I advocate freedom of human sexuality, if you keep staring at her, I would suggest you see a psychiatrist.
There seemed to be no clues on Jia Kaier, so Bai Wu began to check the bedroom.
"The style of the bedroom is also very similar to the era before the tower. If many of the souls created by Zero came from seven hundred years ago, then all this is not surprising."
"But I have come into contact with many patients over the past few days, and their inner world does not seem to be the same as it was seven hundred years ago."
Bai Wu checked the bed, dressing table, wardrobe, ceiling, floor, and under the bed carefully and found that there was indeed nothing suspicious. Even the notes on the eyes were very ordinary.
After confirming that the clue was not in this bedroom, Bai Wu began to search other rooms.
He quickly returned to the bathroom.
At this time, Bai Wu discovered that there was only a towel, a mouthwash cup, and cosmetics in the bathroom. These things that only humans would use were still there, but there was only one copy of each.
Bai Wu thought of a strange scene.
As a female star of the mechanical tribe, Jia Kai'er doesn't need to wash her face, take a bath, or put on makeup, but she still buys a lot of things that only humans have, and then washes them at a fixed time.
So that all the props in this room look presentable.
This is indeed a strange thing.
In the cabinet under the bathroom mirror, Bai Wu found a lot of towels.
He seemed to have thought of something, and went to the shoe cabinet in the entrance, where he saw many shoes.
Men's shoes, elderly shoes, women's shoes, and even children's shoes.
"There's only one person living in the house, but it seems like they're always ready to welcome other people. They left all their toiletries there, and they even know their shoe sizes. I think they're very close, at least not just ordinary friends."
Contacting the previous family of four, Bai Wu had a rough guess.
He came to the living room on the first floor. The doll was still looking at the wall, and there was still no TV on the wall.
But there was a cell phone on the coffee table.
There is very little content in the first week. Even if you explore this place inside and out, it will not help you make any choices in the end. Maybe you can open your phone and there are two text messages waiting to be sent in the draft box.
Bai Wu picked up the phone, which was also something that the mechanical race didn't need. But Jia Kai'er seemed determined to make these technological items external objects, rather than directly using the mechanical core to process information.
There are a lot of messages in the mobile mailbox.
Most of them came from a man named Marin, and Bai Wu looked through some of the information.
"Auntie, is there any problem with the concert in three days? Give me a definite answer!"
"There's a charity event going on, you'd better show up. The homeless people in the northern part of the city like you very much."
"Well, I don't mean to mock you. What I mean is that there are a lot of people who like you, not just the rich people in the East City, but also the homeless people."
"A supercar company wants you to be a model. They offer a high price. You can give it a try."
"Forget about the unpleasantness of last time. At least we have earned a lot of contribution points, right? In the eyes of the top executives of the vehicle and weapon companies, we are just actors. How many models can be innocent?"
"Jia Kai'er, calm down! Calm down! I will deal with the other party's attempt to force a data link with you, but believe me, this matter should not be exposed. The season of anger is coming soon. You know, that is the season of legal crime. You don't want to be retaliated against then, right?"
"Right, work hard to make money, why bother with money? I have arranged another auction for you. This auction is very important. You will be facing the heads of several weapons companies."
…
Bai Wu looked through dozens of text messages, probably all of them were about Jia Kaier's social engagements.
It is obvious that this female star is popular in public but suffers behind the scenes, as she has been sexually exploited by some giants from technology companies.
She had obviously lost her temper with her agent Marin, but it was useless. In Marin's eyes, Jia Kaier was just a canary that could make money. After he told him the cruel reality in a rather soft tone, Jia Kaier accepted her fate.
Bai Wu thought Jia Kai'er probably wasn't after money. He opened the trash can. There were still a lot of messages in the trash can of his phone.
Sure enough, Bai Wu soon received a text message like this—
"Your brother wants to buy a house in the East City District. Marin told me that the money from Cheetah Vehicles always wants to invite you to shoot a vehicle commercial. Agree to it."
From Jiakaier's father.
There are not many text messages, but it can be seen that the father seems to use Jia Kaier as a tool to make money.
Bai Wu was actually very surprised at the beginning. Do people from the mechanical race have parents
They can't reproduce, so how could Jiakaier have parents
This should be very crucial information, but Bai Wu doesn't know many clues yet.
He continued to look down and found that the text messages in the trash box were all from his parents or younger brother.
The content is actually very similar. In both stories, Marin tried to persuade Jia Kaier to take the job, but failed, so he contacted Jia Kaier's parents.
As soon as her parents opened their mouths, Jia Kaier agreed.
"But she put her parents' information in the trash, which shows that she already knows what she means to her parents. She is just a money-making tool, but she didn't delete it completely. I guess..."
Thinking about Jiakaier's shoe cabinet and the various supplies prepared in the bathroom, Bai Wu roughly knew what was going on.
He looked at the doll. It was exquisitely made and beautiful in appearance, but it looked lonely when placed on the huge sofa.
The most recent message in the trash is:
"Your mother and I plan to bring your brother to see you."
Bai Wu opened the draft box.
Choose one of the two. When you send the message, you will enter the second round.
First message:
"Dad, don't contact me anymore. I've had enough. You don't love me at all. You only have my brother in your eyes. Just because I am... Never mind, don't contact me anymore. I have helped you a lot, but you never love me, never. What am I to you?"
Bai Wu looked at the text message and felt confused.
"Of course Zero is not Jia Kai'er, but Jia Kai'er's experience seems to be similar to Zero's. Is this a coincidence?"
Bai Wu opened the second text message:
"Okay, then... let me prepare. How long will you stay? Is there anything you want to eat? I actually have a lot to say to you, but every time I call you, you are so busy. Now that you are here, I will take a day off."
The contents of the two text messages are completely different, which makes Bai Wu a little puzzled. Obviously, this is not a small option, but a big option that will lead to a huge difference in the plot if the wrong choice is made.
"Jia Kai'er didn't explain the reason in her first text message. It seems that she was disliked by this family because of some special circumstances."
Bai Wu probably guessed the reason.
"If the ultimate goal is to help Jiakaier, then the decision should be to cut ties with her parents. It is certain that her parents do not love her."
Bai Wu was quite disgusted and resistant to Bai Yuan's attitude.
Because in his opinion, Bai Yuan was a pure, moody sadist.
If Bai Yuan is one extreme, then Jia Kaier's parents are another.
To some extent, he was even more disgusting than Bai Yuan. To persuade his daughter to go into the fire pit to support her brother, this father was obviously beyond help.
Jia Kaier's father, Violet's father, and Bai Yuan, Bai Wu is willing to call them the three kind fathers of the end of the world.
So in the end, Bai Wu decided to take Jia Kaier out of the fire pit.
He sent the first text message.
You made a cruel decision. Although life is cruel, you saw her reality clearly, but did she see it clearly? Please go to the second round. Tip: The entrance to the second round is upstairs.
Is this the end
Bai Wu tried to walk out of the room, but found that the door could not be opened.
"Is her inner world so small?"
Shaking his head, Bai Wu came to the second floor. Jia Kaier was still lying on the floor on her side.
Apparently... the entrance to the second round is to insert your fingers into the five data link ports on the back of her neck again.
This gave Bai Wu a sense of déjà vu as if he had entered a second level of dream.
"Perhaps the text message represents some future possibility? I hope that in the next week, you can get rid of your parents. Excellent people will always be liked by others."
Bai Wu inserted his fingers into the back of Jia Kaier's neck.
…
…
When he opened his eyes again, Bai Wu saw Jia Kaier lying on the ground.
She was still in the same position, but the room was a little messy, the shoes were not facing the same direction, the quilt was half on the ground, and the water cup was overturned. The cabinet on the bedside table was open.
Jia Kaier's slender calves became thick and were wrapped in a layer of strange alloy, as if they were embedded in it later.
Welcome to the second round. There is nothing wrong with your previous exploration trajectory. You can continue exploring once.
Bai Wu patted Jia Kaier's face, but she didn't wake up.
"A labyrinth of consciousness? Never mind, let's see the difference between the second and first rounds."
Bai Wu went downstairs. There was no need to check the bathroom. The towels and toiletries inside must belong only to Jia Kaier.
Bai Wu came straight to the living room.
The doll's position did not change, but it fell sideways on the sofa, looking like Jiakaier lying on her side on the floor.
There is still a mobile phone on the coffee table, and there is still no TV on the TV wall.
It seemed that nothing had changed, but in fact Bai Wu knew that everything had changed completely.
"This otherworld... is indeed strange. Although the scene is small, it is actually layered."
Bai Wu already felt that he was playing a simulation game.
"My employer is very powerful, but what's the point of asking me to rescue Jia Kai'er?"
Bai Wu decided to turn on his phone.
A series of text messages popped up again.
"Auntie, have I been bad to you? Have I, Marin, ever harmed you? The people I arranged for you are all big shots, some of whom even have a say in the Core City. Look at those other movie stars, which one is as popular as you? Which one has a higher exposure rate than you? This is all my hard work!"
"Answer the phone! Answer the phone! Are you going to the auction? If you don't go to the auction, I tell you, you will offend the giants of the Mechanical City, and you will not be able to survive!"
"Stop being so mad, okay? Answer my call, my ancestor, you are my real mother! I promise not to arrange for you to entertain those people in the future!"
Marin texts a lot.
At first, he was still pleading, but later, he seemed to realize that Jia Kaier had made up her mind not to make a comeback and would not participate in the auction, and his true face was revealed:
"You ungrateful thing, if I hadn't found you these jobs, who do you think you are? Don't think you are special, there are people with your physique in this city."
"I have no job now, and you don't even think about having an easy life. I will expose all the scandals you have with those big shots! Don't think you can have a good ending!"
"Why are you pretending to be so noble? Look at where you live, what you wear, and what you use! Which one of them is not given to you by me? Without me, you, Jia Kai'er, are nothing."
People are so ridiculous sometimes.
He is clearly the parasite, but he still cannot see the reality. Marin thinks that everything Jia Kaier has was given by him.
But the fact is that without Jiakaier, Marin would not be able to talk to those adults.
In the trash can, Jiakaier also received a lot of messages from her parents.
From these messages, Bai Wu suddenly learned a secret.
"What are you talking about? If we hadn't raised you since you were a child, do you think you would be where you are today?"
"Don't associate with us? When you were young, you ate our food and lived in our house, and now you're telling me not to associate with us?"
"Ignorant bastard! How could I raise such an ungrateful bastard like you? If I hadn't begged that adult to give you milk powder and food, you wouldn't have survived a single day!
You're a lowly, lowly native!"
Native people.
These three words made Bai Wu suddenly realize.
"She's a native human? No wonder she looks so petite... No wonder her figure is so similar to that of humans compared to other mechanical races... She's actually a native human?"
If Jiakai'er is a real human, then her transformation process is not that the machine has a soul... but that flesh and blood have become machines.
In this case, it makes sense that Jia Kaier would degenerate into evil, grow wings of flesh and blood, and have the mechanical devices on her body fall off.
At the end of the phone, there were two more text messages.
However, when seeing the content of the text message, the Eye of Prell gave a choice.
The whole world is mocking a bitch named Jia Kaier, who flirts and pretends to be noble. She has a loving father and mother, and a reliable agent who is dedicated to her future, but she is ungrateful and turns her back on them.
What do you think I'm talking about? Of course, I'm talking about the version that people are familiar with. Only you know the truth. Now you have two choices. Send the first text message "I'm dead", the world will be destroyed, and you will collapse with the inner world and be buried in it forever. So you actually only have one choice - send the second text message: "I'm sorry, forgive me, I know I was wrong" and return to the second round and make a new choice!
Without negative emotions, Bai Wu could not sense this despair.
But he felt somewhat sympathetic towards Jia Kaier.
If what she was experiencing now was really what happened to Jia Kaier, then she must be very sad at this moment.
In just a few days, Jia Kai'er's fate has changed drastically. She can either choose to die, with the world's abuse and slander, or choose to compromise and accept an even more excessive, but at least seemingly bright future.
"Dying to prove her integrity is probably what she would do in real life, but it's clear that her employer doesn't think this is the best solution. I can only go back to Act 2 now."
Bai Wu vaguely felt that the person who initiated the mission seemed to want to use a system similar to the weekly game to find a perfect ending for Jia Kaier.
But does this ending really exist? Who is the employer? Zero
Bai Wu finally sent the second message, and then returned to the second floor. The moment he connected to Jia Kaier, he whispered:
"Although I don't know if you can hear me, don't be afraid. I will lead you out."
