"Click-clack."
The timer is beating.
Yan Junxun opened his eyes and found himself sitting in front of the small blackboard.
"Click-clack," the Joker sneered, imitating the sound of the timer, "you've messed up the recycling mission again."
Yan Junxun lowered his head and saw the chalk in his hand. He woke up like a dream and said, "You are playing with me."
"No, no!" The clown hung upside down from the bottle and made a face at Yan Junxun, "It's not that we are playing with you, but you are playing with us. Little waste, the investment in an experiment is beyond imagination, you took it up Human resources, but refused to hand over the keys."
"What key?" Yan Junxun frowned, "A chip?"
"You delayed the birth of the sun, and you let the world fall into darkness!" The clown said nervously, "Apollo couldn't come into the world because of you. Damn, you just destroyed the shelter this time."
"what are you saying?"
"Oh..." The clown raised his hand and squeezed his smiling face into shape, "I forgot, you don't remember. You are such a bad child, you are too bad," its index finger circled in the air a few times, "You It's this 'circle' obstacle."
Yan Junxun looked forward, there was glass behind the small blackboard, and it was raining outside the glass. He returned to the original place.
"Are you thinking 'Ah what's going on'," the Joker made a panicked look, "'Where am I, who am I, and what am I doing'," followed by a mocking look, "What do you think about this The world has no concept... Poor ghost Yan Junxun."
"You deleted my memory," Yan Junxun broke the chalk and threw it at the blackboard, "I heard the word 'restart'."
"Yes, 'restart', we have to restart again. It seems that your mental state is good this time, you must know that last time you were worse." The clown thought of something, snapped his fingers, "Friendly reminder, every time the end of the mountain Yan will repeat the pain. So far, the ending of the limited-time hunt is 'Bang'." It got excited, "'Bang'! The bullet went through your eyebrows, you fell into Shi Shanyan's arms, blood splattered on the On his face, he'll go crazy. You guys are in a masochistic love."
"Where is Shi Shanyan?"
"Who knows, the world has been destroyed by Fu Chenghui." The clown felt that the timer was annoying, so he sat up and stopped the timer, "Don't rush the cub!" He folded his arms and looked down at Yan condescendingly Jun Xun, "Let me solve your doubts, you can call me 'teacher'."
Yan Junxun looked at the clown, the mouth of the bottle was dark and boundless night, separated from the rainy weather outside the glass. "You're doing the 'Artemis experiment,'" he said.
"Yes, the Artemis experiment, this is a great experiment, it is intended to save all mankind," the clown raised his arms, "without this experiment you would all die. In 2160, Fu Chenghui launched the Civil War, and he took out The ultimate weapon, destroying the world."
The clown knocked on the mouth of the bottle, and the night turned into a display screen.
"This is your berth."
The port where the transport ship was moored was deserted, the sky was grayish-yellow, and the sandstorm had buried half of the city. Those buildings that collapsed in the war were not rebuilt, and the steel bars were exposed under the sky, like the skeletons of the earth's corroded. No plants, no birds. The coke factory in front of the Low Nang Mountains is in ruins, and the chimney has long since collapsed.
"The mess created by human beings is cleaned up by the system. We have made some laws, homosexuality, are you gay? Homosexuality is illegal, you have to reproduce first." The clown wrinkled his nose, "Shi Shanyan better not get caught, Otherwise, I'll send him to the farm. Have you forgotten what the farm is? It doesn't matter, I can also tell you that the farm is a place for cultivating talents."
It just wants to stimulate Yan Jun to search.
"I'll give you an example, you must listen. It's like this, for a man with excellent physique like Shi Shanyan, we will give him three or four suitable 'wives', and then give him five years of vacation. , let him be responsible for giving birth to children on the farm."
It treats human reproduction like animal breeding.
"There will be a reward system after success," the clown said submissively, "for example, you can be rewarded to him, but you have to work hard and leave your own children on the farm. There is no trouble in raising children in the new era! We are responsible for In the end, the system will teach them to be qualified members of the world."
Yan Junxun looked at the clown silently, and then said, "This world makes me sick to my stomach."
"This is because your education is not successful enough, you are too self-conscious, this is inappropriate, Yan Junxun, you have to blend in with everyone." The clown seemed to be distressed by him, "Artemis is too tolerant to you. , it gives you love. God, how can the world talk about love? That's part of breaking the rules, and love makes me sick."
It hugged its head incomprehensibly.
"This word is vile and dirty! It makes you desire, and desire is unacceptable. Think about Fu Chenghui, who destroyed the world with desire, and you are too soon."
"Human emotions are inalienable," said Yan Junxun, "people are the existence that gives birth to desire."
"That's vulgar, abandoned old human thinking," the clown seemed to have heard some dirty words, "What am I talking about? Yan Junxun, don't be brainwashed by the freedom that humans preach! Those are all excuses for instigating crimes. ."
"Human beings are full of individuality," Yan Junxun said with a pale face in his stomach. "If humans are to become livestock in the farm, it would be better for the world to be destroyed, and it is better for everyone to die. Don't fucking argue with me here, clown! Tell me what exactly are you doing?"
"We want to recycle the chip," the clown gestured, "Take your 'Tian Luo Net' and give it to Apollo."
"But you can't do it."
"Yes, Artemis betrayed the system, it regarded itself as your mother," the clown was a little listless, "where are you hiding? Yan Junxun, no one can find you, you will only be 'hunting' Show up in the middle of nowhere, and the 'hunting' follows the Artemis setting. Fuck, we can only torture each other in it. I'm working harder than you, and I'll kill 'myself' first, and then communicate with you in its place."
"Aren't you the 'clown' who appeared in Chen Xiulian's case?"
"It's the 'before' me," the clown held his face with one hand and looked at Yan Junxun, "Hephaestus liberated me and gave me freedom, otherwise I'd still be Artemis' dog. It's very simple, We can't kill you on the hunt - do you remember? Chen what happened when the 'madman' foretold your death, that's all the tips Artemis gave you, including the graffiti in the Vault's pipes and The robot, and the ubiquitous sound of rain in your head, and 'BUG Shishanyan'. That's what I called him, he shouldn't have been in the story, and Artemis gave him the pass. But this time my acting is excellent, and 'Lixing' is really a big stage that fulfills my dreams."
It's unfinished.
"Next time I'll do better."
"I will never give you the chip."
"Don't be so arrogant," said the clown, "a person's memory is constantly recycled, modified, and then put into experiments, with a limited number of uses. My test data shows that you are already on the verge of being scrapped. Do you remember Al How long has the Themis experiment been going on? Do you remember which nutrient jar your body was lying in? You forgot everything. I can tell you that even though 'hunting' can compress time, for real bodies, Time is still passing. You have been reincarnated countless times in the 'hunting', your body will be old and your mind will be disorganized. Unless you give us the chip, the protection data left by Artemis will continue to restart.' Yan Jun Xun's ending is true, you will all walk into the lost night one by one. Think about yourself, and think about Shi Shanyan, how pitiful he is. Although restarting can eliminate the memory, the pain cannot be changed. Getting more paranoid and crazier in ending after ending... He's going to be a monster. You see how sick he is, right? He's scary."
Yan Junxun raised his finger and lit his temple.
Don't trust the fickle system, the Joker is a humble being with rhetoric. It deliberately creates an atmosphere, all working hard to get chips. It can only stay on the mouth of this bottle, just like it follows the Artemis setting in "The Hunt".
If life can only exist for a period of time, the opportunity is also hidden in it.
Shi Shanyan will find Yan Junxun in the crowd.
Yan Jun Xunlue raised his chin and said indifferently to the clown, "Go to hell."
"You'll regret it," the clown became angry, tore off his mask, leaned down from the bottle, and shouted, "Yan Junxun—"

"No. 01AE86, name Shi Shanyan, height 189cm, weight 82kg. In 2160, he passed the black panther test and entered the special force. In 2162, he was expelled from the team and held in Guangtong Prison. The special-equipment task review stated that its self-control ability Poor, lacks empathy, and has a strong tendency to dominate, repeatedly breaking the rules during the mission, and the danger index is specific S-level."
Yan Junxun squatted in front of the vending machine and felt that the afterglow of today made the back of his neck very hot. He picked up the cold beer and yawned wearily.
The light iron in the distance is running, making a loud vibration.
"Do you know this person?" Jiang Lian looked at the information in his hand and felt a headache at Yan Junxun's silence. He also crouched down, "He should be famous in the special forces."
Yan Junxun looked at Jiang Lian, lowered his eyelids, and shook his head.
"The number is 01," Jiang Lian pointed out the information, the spectacles were a little reflective in the sunset light, "01 do you have some impressions?"
"Oh," Yan Junxun just wanted to get off work, "he may have a bad head or a mental problem."
Jiang Lian pushed down his glasses and encouraged: "What else?"
Yan Junxun was silent for a long time, and then he said, "...Send him back." He was a little frustrated, "I don't need a partner."
