"No." He raised his head and said, "Unfortunately... I reject your offer."
Adelaide and He Huaizhou were both stunned. He Huaizhou said in surprise: "Why? The conditions we proposed are not stingy. What's more, as Aqin's elders, isn't it reasonable for us to want his things back?"
Wen Zheliu exerted force with his toes and pushed the chair away from them. He stared coldly at the surprised He Huaizhou and the serious-faced Adelaide, and said word by word: "When did He Qin put down his feelings for me?" Alert'?"
He Huaizhou was startled, then smiled bitterly and said: "No... I am old and can't recognize the twists and turns of you young people. After listening to what A Qin said, I thought you were very good friends... "

"Stop talking." Wen Zheliu interrupted him, "The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Not only did he never let down his guard against me, but he also warned me from the first day he met me. I don't have too much hope in other people's kindness. I can see that his identity and character are destined to make it impossible for him to 'let down his guard' when he meets someone for the first time. As his elders, Why can’t you be as good as me, a stranger you’ve only met once?”
"He kept hinting at me during the conversation and conveyed to me the message that 'He Qin treats me differently, so you are willing to treat me preferentially', thinking that this would relax my vigilance and make me hand over his dog. Cards?" Wen Zheliu's eyes darkened, and the warm smile on his lips just now disappeared.
Wen Zheliu is indeed an optimistic, cheerful, contented person. However, the living environment he grew up in forced him to learn the ability to observe words and emotions in order to escape the constant cold words and beatings from his foster family. After years of training, his insight into human affairs has become quite sharp. From the moment he got on the hover car and talked with the lawyer, he instinctively felt a subtle sense of disobedience, and he had just intentionally made it a few times. The unintentional test confirmed his idea.
"Little classmate, don't think too much," He Huaizhou waved his hand quickly. Adelaide beside him was also looking at Wen Zheliu with a crazy look, "Yes, I admit that we said this to help you relax as soon as possible. But you can’t..."
Wen Zheliu tilted his head, picked up the leather rope hanging the dog tag with one finger, and smiled at them.
From the day he got the Heqin dog tag, he strung it with his own to avoid losing it. At this moment, these two exquisite metal tags of the same size and different patterns were dangling on the knot. Spin.
"When we entered the room, I always wanted to ask," Wen Zheliu said, "Is the light here a bit too white? As you said, you two are older. Since you are old people, it is best to stay here. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for the eyes in a room with such light? Or is the light of this color trying to hide something?"
A puzzled look appeared on He Huaizhou's face. He opened his mouth and said slowly and helplessly: "Little classmate..."
"He Qin's position is extremely high, so his dog tag should be encrypted with the highest authority. People who are lower than him or who are not allowed by him cannot see the content at all." Wen Zheliu said, " From the beginning, I was one of the people who was not allowed, so when I was in Nova City, I couldn’t see clearly the writing on the dog tag, but I guess the same goes for you.”
He opened and closed his lips and slowly uttered a name: "... Ceresa."
The expressions of He Huaizhou and Adelaide froze for a moment.
"Since the incident started, I have been thinking, when did you start to develop your own consciousness and decide to rebel? Your current methods are vigorous and resolute, but in the early stage, you must have a very long incubation period to avoid n The company’s supervision. But just now, when I observed He Qin’s dog tag, I suddenly understood that at least from the moment he logged into Nova City, you have been closely monitoring him.”
"You don't have permission to see his dog tag, but you know that I have seen it in the real world, so you should have used my memory to project an appearance that I have seen in reality to deceive me. But you seem to Forgot one thing..."
Recalling the day when Liu Tianxiong took off his VR helmet, Wen Zheliu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "... Speaking of which, I have to thank that guy with cheap hands. People's memory will retain the most impressive aspect of things to them. , and my most profound impression of this dog tag was in a dark room, under dim light."
The two dog tags were still shaking slightly, and one of them actually reflected a dusk-like color. In the surrounding light, which was as bright as day, this dark color was absolutely impossible to appear.
"And this extremely white light is to cover up the possible defects in the memory projection? Under this kind of light, it is normal to not be able to see the writing and patterns on it. Unfortunately, you are self-defeating."
In an instant, everything around him disappeared quickly. The ground, tables and chairs, the elegant and simple curves of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows... the entire space suddenly became extremely vast, and countless data streams spread out in sight, reorganizing into an endless snow-colored sky. world.
"He Huaizhou" and "Adelaide" stood side by side, looking at Wen Zheliu who was also standing opposite them with expressionless faces. They spoke in unison, even the opening and closing of their lips were exactly the same: "For these two reasons alone, Can you see through me?"
Even though he had been prepared for it, seeing all this with his own eyes still frightened Wen Zheliu. He stuffed the dog tag back into his collar and snorted warily: "There is no harm in telling you the third reason."
As soon as he finished speaking, the images of the two top leaders of n-star company in front of him were like two puddles of mercury that suddenly melted and then were fused together by external forces. They twisted and bulged, gradually pouring out the white skin of Saint Sister Ceresa. Snow's slender figure.
While on guard, he said slowly: "It's very simple. When you answered my words, you didn't show any abnormality to the fact that I have fragments of 3S-level props."
"Oh?" The holy nun tilted her head like a little girl, her soft and pure veil of everlasting wishes hanging straight to the ground. She indeed looked extremely holy and noble, but Wen Zheliu would never regard her as a normal intelligence again. Look at life. Her red lips curved and she asked curiously, "Why?"
Her expression, posture, and even the attitude of asking questions were all the same as those of a real living person. Wen Zheliu couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. He replied: "Because brother... He Qin sent it to me." The letter mentioned a sentence - 'We will talk about how you obtained the 3S-level fragment online'."
The holy nun paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "So that's it..."
Wen Zheliu carefully watched her every move and said slowly: "I don't know how many monitoring channels you have in company n, but after I saw this sentence, I vaguely understood one thing. Then There must be something wrong with the source of my fragment, so he specifically mentioned it in the letter. But you... "
"But as one of the executives of n-star company and the chief designer of Nova City, I did not tell you this in time." The Holy Sister took over, "Ah... This is my negligence. My father The precious blood shed from the cross covers all sins, but it cannot cover up the mistakes I made... "
Wen Zheliu said coldly: "In addition, you seem to take full responsibility, but in fact you are excusing AI both inside and outside your words... Then, now it is my turn to ask you. Where is He Qin? Oh, when did I fall into the trap you set?"
The holy nun put her palms together and made a praying gesture: "Since the lost lamb is so smart, why don't you guess for yourself, when did you fall into this place?"
She avoided the first question, but after hearing that Zheliu was in jail and unable to fight against this AI that was considered a god in the virtual world, she could only calm down and asked in a low voice: "... is it after I smash that? When it comes to the LCD screen?”
The holy nun smiled and said: "O lost lamb, my Father's spiritual light shines on you!"
Wen Zheliu snorted coldly, already thinking that she must have broken the screen in desperation and passed out from electric shock. Immediately afterwards, this monster-like AI was seamlessly connected to her virtual world, and she was forced to watch her act. Such a good show...
"I guess He Qin's dog tag must be of some importance to you. No matter what, I will not give it to you." Wen Zheliu said, "And the authority is here. You will be able to do it for a while." There is no way to snatch it from my hands. What else do you want to do next, do you want to kill me directly? "
"My Father's heart is kind." The Holy Sister shook her head and chuckled, "Look at your inventory, isn't it already there?"
Wen Zheliu was stunned, and a translucent floating bar suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

He was stunned and suddenly reacted!
Although Uncanny Valley is a one-shot plot-oriented real-time game, its mechanism is no different from an ordinary game world. In an ordinary game world, the punishment for a player's death is nothing more than spraying money, losing equipment, and falling in level; but in the current uncanny valley, in addition to losing money and equipment, players only have one life. If they die, they will die. In the real world, too, He will become a vegetative state and there will be no turning back.
If Ceresa kills him now, He Qin's dog tag will only turn into data turbulence and disappear into the boundless virtual space; if he enters the uncanny valley and dies as a player, the dog tag will be immediately judged as a prop by the system Exploded and then recovered by Ceresa!
"You...!" He was shocked and angry. As soon as he blurted out one word, Ceresa in front of him opened her arms and said loudly: "Welcome to the Uncanny Valley, may the glory of Heavenly Father shine on you!"
The overwhelming flow of data surged toward him, and the bizarre and bizarre shapes spiraled into a bottomless passage in front of him. He couldn't avoid it, so he screamed and fell head-first into it.
At the last moment when he lost consciousness, he saw the back of Saint Sister Theresa's completely exposed hand while flipping over -
- There is a red snake with its tail connected in a circle tattooed on it, and inside it stands a clear and regular five-pointed star of the same color.
