"what is that?"
Xie Zhi looked in the direction pointed by Wang Dazuo. The red curtain moved automatically without wind, just like the curtain on the stage.
"Class A pollutant, red curtain."
Wang Dashui stood up and pulled Xie Zhi up as well.
"It is said to be the product of a legendary and legendary negative master who solidified his negative emotions outside his body before his death. When the user enters the red screen, he mentally imagines a specific destination that he has been to. , the red screen will teleport you to the corresponding place."
Xie Zhi blinked. What is this, an idealistic black technology arbitrary door?
"Does your world have "Doraemon"?"
He couldn't help but vomit.
"Are you talking about the most famous comic strip in a country that was submerged by the sea fifty years ago?"
Wang Daduo shook his head,
"I haven't read it. According to the older generation, after that country disappeared, the comics and animation industry collapsed. Perhaps the changes in the world brought about by the huge moon are far beyond the imagination of cartoonists. Now if you want to read comics again , maybe you can only go to relevant niche museums.”
Wang DaZhuo grabbed Xie Zhi's arm and they were about to go back to school directly from the hospital.
"Empty your mind when passing the red curtain, and don't think blindly."
"What kind of thinking is called random thinking?"
"For example... no, it's nothing. Anyway, don't think blindly and stay in a daze."
Wang DaZhuo hesitated to speak, but finally shook his head and swallowed the unsaid words.
"If I tell you what nonsense is, then you will definitely think in this direction."
Wang Dazhui dragged Xie Zhi toward the windless red curtain. Xie Zhi saw Wang Dazhui walking in front of him slowly sinking into the red curtain like chocolate melted into milk, and then himself.
The time of passing through the curtain was very short. When Wang Dazhuang's arm was completely submerged in the red curtain, Xie Zhi's arm also began to submerge, followed closely by Xie Zhi's shoulders and head.
Xie Zhi tried his best to keep himself in a relaxed state and not think about anything.
However, changes suddenly occurred at this time.
Just when Xie Zhi was about to pass through the red curtain, a figure suddenly bumped out of the red curtain.
With this collision, the figure collided with Xie Zhi.
Only then did Xie Zhi have time to see clearly what the man who bumped out of the red curtain looked like.
That's a guy...with a monitor on his head.
The old ray-tube monitors known as "big-ass monitors" looked like a rectangular shape with a larger front and a smaller back.
The monitor was perfectly connected to the "human"'s neck. When the other person looked up, Xie Zhi saw a question mark displayed on the monitor.
"Want to return to your world?"
The human with a monitor head smiled at Xie Zhi.
A bright yellow pixel smile appeared on the monitor. Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhi felt his arm being held by the "monitor head" and his whole body sank into the red curtain.
Xie Zhi only felt his eyes blur, and then a huge sense of spatial confusion enveloped him. Xie Zhi felt that his mind was in a mess, like a person with extreme motion sickness who had been riding a bumpy bus for more than ten hours.
At the same time, Xie Zhi also felt the sound of rapid gunfire coming from behind him.
"It's a miracle! The Miracle Organization took away Superman who lost the ability to resist! Report it quickly!"
"Miracle……"
In his dizziness, Xie Zhi could only briefly think about the word "miracle" while enduring a strong feeling of vomiting in his heart.
"Moon head, sparrow head, what is it now, monitor head?"
In the end, he couldn't hold back the feeling of vomiting. Xie Zhi put his hands on the ground and vomited uncontrollably.
The peanut chocolate bar that he had eaten not long ago was all vomited out with this vomiting, forming a puddle of filth in front of Xie Zhi.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't vomit in other people's conference rooms, Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu! Xiaojiu, come and clean it up!"
The "monitor head" holding Xie Zhi's arm showed a bright red angry Emoji on its face. Its voice could not identify the gender. It was a neutral electronic sound mixed together with multiple timbres.
Xie Zhi listened to the complaints of the monitor man while enduring the feeling of acid water in his stomach rising again.
At this time, the whirlpool-like stirring feeling in his mind slowly faded away, and he could finally observe the environment he was currently in.
Xie Zhi felt that his hands were a little cold. He looked down and found that the ground he was supporting was a piece of transparent glass. The filth he vomited was spread flat on the transparent glass. Under the glass, there was a deep layer of water. The bottomless dark abyss!
The blood all over Xie Zhi's body rushed into his brain.
He suddenly raised his head and looked around.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. At a glance, there are two million pores in the body that don't make a shuddering roar!
Display!
It’s all a display!
Large and small display screens, some are dilapidated, some are brand new, some are covered with stripes like snowflakes, and some are filled with cracks and chips from top to bottom...
But all the displays showed emoticons!
Examining, skeptical, disdainful, critical, friendly, meaningless, interested...
Countless display screens are like tiles covering the walls!
And all the "display tiles" circled around in this extremely empty space!
The monitor is attached to a curved surface, showing a cylindrical space around Xie Zhi!
And Xie Zhi is right in the middle of this huge cylindrical space!
Xie Zhi looked down and saw a bottomless dark abyss beneath him!
But when he looked up! Above the head, there is a huge white ball of light!
The dazzling light shone into Xie Zhi's eyes from the light ball, causing Xie Zhi to become blind for a moment.
And when Xie Zhi finally got used to this dazzling light, Xie Zhi finally realized that what was above his head was also a monitor!
It was a 360-degree holographic display. In the display, a blue face was staring at him through the dazzling white light.
It was a blue head, just a head.
The eyes in the holographic display are also blue, and blue eyes express "calm".
"I……"
Xie Zhi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but looking around, the looks coming from countless monitors made him feel horrified at this moment. And the words that were just halfway organized were swallowed back into the stomach directly with this sense of horror.
"here it is……"
Xie Zhi opened his mouth again to say something, but still couldn't formulate the words.
"This is the conference room of miracles."
Suddenly, a childish electronic child's voice sounded from in front of Xie Zhi.
Xie Zhi was frightened by the sudden sound. When he looked closely, he realized that the other person was a disk-shaped sweeping robot.
There is a character, "9", painted on the back of the robot, and the upper part of the disk is a semicircular display screen, which shows a smiling expression.
Is it the "Xiaojiu" the monitor guy who caught me called me?
Xie Zhi looked at the sweeping robot blankly.
He watched the sweeping robot Xiaojiu getting closer and closer to him, and then stopped in front of the filth spit out by Xie Zhi.
After a few seconds, the glass on the floor was as clean as new.
"Don't be nervous, the elders have no ill intentions towards you."
A "touch your head" expression appeared on Xiaojiu's monitor, and then the basin-sized disk staggered to the other end of the glass corridor.
Xie Zhi looked in the direction where Xiaojiu left, and saw the sweeping robot stopped in front of a display screen, as if saying something, and then the display screen blocking the front moved aside, revealing the passage behind the display screen.
After Xiaojiu entered the passage, the display screen moved back and the exit door was closed.
Xie Zhi took a deep breath, spit it out, and took another deep breath.
He tried to calm down.
"Calm down, Xie Zhi, you have to calm down. What kind of storms and waves have you never seen? The moon head in Tianguang Building, the sparrow head in the Third Hospital, you chatted and laughed with them..."
Xie Zhi stood up, reached out and rubbed his face, and then turned his face to the monitor head that led him across the red screen.
At this time, Xie Zhi finally noticed the specific appearance of the monitor head.
A thick white monitor is placed on its neck, and below the neck is a straight figure wearing a suit.
There is a gold breastplate on the left chest of the suit, which reads, "Security Guard, 33."
Both hands of "Security Guard 33" were wrapped in white silk gloves. One of the hands was supporting himself, while the other hand was grabbing the red curtain when he came.
Security guards……
Xie Zhi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Sounds like the name of some kind of anti-virus software.
When Xie Zhi looked at Security Guard No. 33, the security guard also looked at Xie Zhi, and its monitor showed a kind of emoji with hands spread out.
"My mission is only to pull you into the Red Curtain. For the rest, you can directly ask the Council of Elders."
Presbyterian...meaning these thousands of monitors around and above you?
Xie Zhi thought, and then heard an old and distant electronic sound coming from above his head.
"This is the Miracle Presbyterian Church. There are currently only 4,150 active digital beings left."
"We don't mean any harm. You can leave from the red curtain behind you at any time."
"But before leaving, please think carefully about the question asked to you on the 33rd."
"Do you want to go back to the original world?"
The original world?
What's the meaning?
It means, in fact, my existence is really time travel. My previous life is real. I am not the second personality created by "Xie Zhi" in this world. The teachers and classmates I met in my previous life are still me. ’s parents, are they all real?
"Your previous life was real."
"Before Xie Zhi in this world died, he used the computing power of the 'Center Miracle' to summon you from the parallel world to this place. I hope you can replace him and complete his unfinished ambition."
"However, all contracts require the signatures of both parties to the contract to take effect. Therefore, before the ceremony is completely completed, we also need a signature from the other party."
"If you want to return to the original world, you only need to tear up the agreement in front of you. Your parents, your friends, and the job you just successfully interviewed for will all come back to you."
As the old electronic sound reached Xie Zhi's ears, a suspended paper contract and a pencil slowly landed in front of Xie Zhi.
Xie Zhi looked at the contract. The word "dog crawling" on the contract felt particularly familiar to him. It turned out that he in this world had the same ugly handwriting as he did in his previous life.
"Miracle Contract..."
"...Party A (Xie Zhi) provides digital samples of negative emotions to Party B (Digital Miracle), and Party B provides Party A with the computing power and other necessary support needed to summon the same identity in the parallel world..."
The contract was very long, like an endless roll of paper. Under the dense agreement, at the end were two dark red seals.
Party A's part has Xie Zhi's name written on it, plus a name stamp in small seal script.
Party B's part is a circular company seal that reads, "Digital Miracle Technology Co., Ltd."
"As long as I tear up this agreement, can I go back to the world when I came from?"
Xie Zhi swallowed.
The old electronic sound sounded again from above his head.
"Yeah, so, do you want to go back to your world?"
"I……"
Xie Zhi hesitated to speak. He raised his head and looked at the huge blue head in the holographic display.
Can I trust him...
"You can totally trust me. I'm a numbers guy and honesty is written into our code."
Hell, he can read my mind...
“In the Elders’ Meeting Room, all digital people and humans meet honestly, and what we communicate is our respective voices.”
Xie Zhi was silent.
In just a few seconds, his thoughts went back and forth. From whether you should believe the "Miracle Elder" in front of you, to if all this is true, whether you should choose to return to the original world.
Can I... really go back?
Xie Zhi fell into a kind of confusion.
On the one hand, the ability of these talking display screens to appear in front of one's eyes has obviously proved their magic. The contracts falling from the sky, the impactful appearance and spatial structure of the aircraft all highlight their specialness. On the other hand, they were able to point out Xie Zhi's background right away, including his parents, family, friends in his previous life, and even the job he had just successfully interviewed for...
Xie Zhi was already 80% convinced.
And just when Xie Zhi was swaying in his heart, the hundreds of screens on the wall in front of him suddenly formed a complete display screen, which played videos of traveling parents anxiously looking for their children on the street. ! The missing person notices with Xie Zhi's selfies pasted one after another were posted on every street and alley by his parents, and their faces were full of exhaustion and worry. After not seeing each other for a few days, even their hair became gray. A few clusters!
Xie Zhi's defensive line of doubt suddenly collapsed after seeing the video on the combined display screen.
"I want to go back."
Xie Zhi took a deep breath and said.
Xie Zhi's eyes were firm and solemn, and at the same time, there was also a hint of gratitude to the "Miracle Organization".
If the other party hadn't taken the initiative to find him, he might never have had the chance to see him again in his life before returning to the world before he traveled.
Xie Zhi was thinking and looking around, and while he was looking around, a change happened!
More than 4,000 display screens changed the moment Xie Zhi said the last word of "I want to go back"!
The bright yellow smiley face replaced the original various digital expressions in a fraction of a second. The smiley face was like a wave of cards, covering the entire cylindrical screen wall in an instant!
Even "Security Guard No. 33" standing nearby showed a smile. In an instant, the entire conference room was surrounded by bright yellow smiling faces!
At the same time as he said this sentence, Xie Zhi felt that his two arms were raised uncontrollably, and his palms were grabbing at the contract suspended in mid-air, as if he was about to tear the contract into pieces in the next second!
"A new round of miracle exchange, achieved..."
In the holographic screen above Xie Zhi's head, the old voice coming from the blue head was somewhat smiling.
Xie Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
not good! I was deceived!
"I don't want to go back!"
Xie Zhi blurted out.
But he suddenly discovered that all he could do was move his mouth. Even if he said "I don't want to go back," he couldn't stop grabbing the old contract with his arms and starting to tear it up!
"The miracle quid pro quo has been achieved and objections are void."
Thousands of electronic sounds with different tones sounded from all directions around Xie Zhi, but they were all cold refutations.
Xie Zhi, on the other hand, could only watch as the contract he held in his hands was gradually torn into two halves from a complete piece of paper with a crisp tearing sound!
And as the paper was torn in half, a gradually torn crack appeared on Xie Zhi's body!
That crack is getting bigger and deeper!
Xie Zhi has no doubt that if the "contract" in front of him is completely torn apart by him, his body will be torn into two pieces on the left and right in an instant!
By then, the only thing waiting for you is death!
