MTL - Right on Target-Chapter 136 imaginary
Xie Zhenshu woke up from the connection, it was midnight. He unplugged the connection cable, stood in front of the blackboard, and began to sort out the known information.
First, from the trial and error during this period of time, we can see that the reason why prohibited words appear in District 14 is that the system must maintain its authenticity and prevent participants from realizing that it is false, so monitors are prohibited from speaking. Say words that don't fit the plot of that world.
Second, the plot of the 14th district is repeated. It can be summed up simply as "using different cases to stimulate the integration of Yan Junxun and the system chip", and the end time of each time is August 8 of the following year. If Yan Junxun fails to evolve before August 8, or if he dies unexpectedly, the plot will be reset, and the time and characters will all be pushed back to the starting point and start again.
Third, Xie Zhenshu originally thought that 7-001 would lose his memory when he entered the 14th district, but this is not accurate. It should be said that 7-001 will be tampered with when he enters the 14th district. The system will delete the memory of 7-001 according to the needs of the plot, and then add its own fictional passages where necessary to make it coherent and not arouse suspicion. So he doesn't remember his forbidden words, and he doesn't remember being a "tyrant". The plot will push him to the brink of danger, let him complete the mission of the tyrant under unknown circumstances, and clean up the miscellaneous fish that interfered with the experiment for Artemis.
However, this kind of memory deletion is only effective in the 14th area, and it will return to normal after returning to reality.
Fourth, the three prohibitions of hunting, "Do not disturb the experimental subject, do not awaken the experimental subject, and do not approach the experimental subject". Su Heting is not an experimental subject, but Xie Zhenshu can't get close to him, which shows that the "experiment" mentioned in the ban does not only refer to Yan Junxun, but also includes people like Su Heting who can have an important impact on the plot of District 14.
After sorting out these four items, Xie Zhenshu wrote down the words "monitor" and "tyrant".
The same console, Artemis can find 7-001, but not him. The two people exchanged consoles midway, and the result is still the same, indicating that the problem does not lie in the consoles, but in themselves. There are only two differences between him and 7-001: he doesn't have a chip on his body, and he has a god's bone on his body.
Xie Zhenshu thought it was the former, because during the war he found it strange that the Panthers knew that the weapons of war would attack members with implanted chips, but they never let them take out the chips. If it is for positioning and control, then as the special forces with cutting-edge technology on the northern line, can't they upgrade or modify the chip? Or was there some other reason they had to keep the chip as it was?
Su Heting once told Xie Zhenshu that Artemis is the auxiliary system of the Black Panther and is also responsible for the final test of the members. In addition, Xie Zhenshu discovered from the information given by 7-001 that the actual experimental field in District 14 and the training field of the Panthers are pasted together, and they belong to the same area.
Does this mean that the Black Panther members are also under the surveillance of Artemis? Their chip was probably also from the Area 14 experiment, so no matter where 7-001 was or how he got into Area 14, Artemis would be able to see through his disguise.
The last question, why can the "monitor" retain memory?
Xie Zhenshu wrote the word "repairman" under "monitor".
The identity he holds is "Monitor No. 719", which shows that there are more than one monitor, and there are many. According to his plot in the 14th district, he is actually a repairman.
According to Xie Zhenshu's speculation based on the time when 36810 lived here, between 2150 and 2155, Artemis trained a group of technical personnel in order to maintain the normal operation of District 14. While experimenting, they will enter District 14 as "monitors" to monitor and maintain District 14. But after 2155, the 14th district realized system management, and the authority of the "monitor" was reduced, and became a marginal role that could only observe the 14th district. Therefore, Xie Zhenshu could keep his memory, but he had to abide by the rules.
The only good news is that the time flow in District 14 is different from the reality. The monitor's four hours are equal to half a month in District 14. He can stay there as much as possible within the limited time.
After sorting out all the information, it was already dawn. Xie Zhenshu raised his hand and drew a line starting from "7-006". He ignored all the information on the blackboard and drew the line all the way to the "X".
Those prohibitions, rules and obstacles are all run through by this line. Xie Zhenshu has a clear goal, only 7-006. His heart can be like a stone, unbroken until it finds its purpose.
So he entered District 14 again.
A voice asked, "Have you had a good holiday, Inspector."
Xie Zhenshu took out his ID, made a record at the registration office, and answered the window system by the way: "Very good."
Very good, I met the person I wanted to see, although it was one-sided.
The window system said: "You have been on vacation for too long, so I don't know, 01AE86 is in a bad situation right now."
Xie Zhenshu asked, "What happened to him?"
The window system said: "He is going crazy."
The chief never swears, so he drew an egg on the paper to represent his mood when he heard this sentence. After a while, he said, "It's expected."
7-001 came here to get in touch with the No. 98342 experimental subject, which is Yan Junxun in the current plot, and then find Yan Junxun's hidden body. But the price he got here was forgetting, forgetting reality, forgetting purpose, forgetting that this is a false cycle. No matter what he did, Yan Junxun died every time. When he left District 14 and returned to reality, he would think of everything again, remembering that Yan Junxun died in front of him, in his arms, or somewhere he couldn't see.
As the number of resets increases, he is bound to go into a kind of madness. In fact, in this reset, his initial state was already very abnormal.
Xie Zhenshu put down his pen and said: "Contact the Inspectorate of the Mooring Area and tell them that I will give 01AE86 some psychological counseling."
As a character who joined the plot later, 7-001 is the only person Xie Zhenshu can contact. As a communication partner in reality, 7-001 is Xie Zhenshu's only ally. To sum up, Xie Zhenshu will use psychological counseling as an excuse to remind 7-001 not to go crazy from time to time.
Even though it's useless, 7-001 will still do whatever it wants.
Psychological counseling will be carried out through projections. Xie Zhenshu does not plan to leave Guangtong Detention Center. This is his safe zone. Besides, there is Yan Junxun in the parking area, so he can't get close. The process is usually very short. Xie Zhenshu will calculate the time, and sometimes it will be kicked out by the convulsion system when it exceeds the time limit, so he will accurately time the time to the second, and it will end when it arrives, without any delay.
Same this time.
At the end, Xie Zhenshu walked out of the confinement room and submitted a report to the window system.
The window system said: "Thank you!"
Xie Zhenshu said: "The situation in 01AE86 is special, and the Black Panther needs to be strengthened—"
He paused, staring at the screen in front of him in thought.
The window system says, "What do you need?"
Xie Zhenshu came back to his senses, and silently tapped the table with his fingertips. After a while, he said: "I need to increase my connection with the Black Panther."
The window system said: "Oh, okay, I will give you the address of the Panther training ground..."
Xie Zhenshu said: "No address, give me the number 7-006."
The prohibition is no interference, no awakening, no approaching, so what about calling? If you only talk about other things on the phone and don't mention prohibited words, isn't it considered a violation of the prohibition?
The window system said: "Okay, but 7-006 never gives people the real number. We screened it, and there are more than 400 numbers that may be him...Are you sure you want it?"
"Yes," Xie Zhenshu glanced at the time and emphasized his tone, "I want them all."
More than 400 numbers were called one by one, from daytime to late night. Xie Zhenshu repeated the three sentences "Hello", "I'm sorry", and "Mistyped". The person on the other side may be gentle or irritable, but none of them are Su Heting. After playing a round, if there are still unconnected, he can only continue to play.
"Hello."
no.
"Hello."
Still not.
The officer hangs up and calls again. The moon in District 14 rarely appears, and it always rains in the middle of the night. Xie Zhenshu feels that the busy phone calls are almost integrated with the sound of rain. Finally, after a brief ringing of the bell, he heard a familiar voice.
"What are you doing!"
Su Heting dialed the intercom, the voice was a little mixed. But Xie Zhenshu's "Hello" died on the tip of his tongue, his heart beat wildly, and at this moment, his chest was filled with words he wanted to say. But he clenched the phone tightly and couldn't answer right away.
—He can't scare Su Heting away, nor can he violate the forbidden law.
Su Heting said: "I don't buy a house, get a card, and don't participate in any activities."
Xie Zhenshu's Adam's apple slipped, in the dark, like a wronged child. But he must continue, as he has done best in the past, to control his emotions. He replied with an "um", as if without an "um", he would say something dangerous.
Su Heting said: "Then I'll hang up?"
Xie Zhenshu said: "...don't hang up."
Su Heting asked: "Are you busy?"
Xie Zhenshu was silent for a long time, and said: "Hello." He used "Hello" to pull back his rationality, and finished speaking, "7-006, I am the inspector of Guangtong Detention Center."
Every word he speaks needs to be carefully considered, and a little carelessness may violate the prohibition. But he really misses cats and everything about cats.
So he said, "I'm curious about you."
And said: "Everything."
He is not good at lying, especially in front of Su Heting, so every word he answers is true. This phone call only lasted a few seconds in reality, and it was these few seconds that allowed him to walk through the snowfield, the wilderness, and the stone heart of the pseudo-defense line to melt on the spot.
He wants to say that I miss you very much, and he also wants to say that I want to see you.
But when the sun is coming, he has to return to the boundary between truth and falsehood, and continue to be a person who will not be remembered.
