Chapter 1124 The System is Carrying

Just as Zhao Wuji was about to hang up, he heard: "Hello?"

"Elf, I am Wuji, you can recognize my voice, right?"

"You really are inorganic, are you okay?"

"Well, it's OK. Can you send me a copy of the source code of the crowd performance system? I hope to work harder."

"Hey, sure, you are still an insider now, I will send you"

Zhao Wuji was very sensitive and noticed that there might be some confidentiality regulations or something like that, but Li Jingling was skirting the issue by hoping that Zhao Wuji could help her find her hometown.

"Could it be that the hibernation chambers outside the headquarters cannot be used? The hibernation chambers they developed in Hawaii are also classified as confidential."

Zhao Wuji soon received the code from Li Jingling, which indeed contained a message asking him to keep it confidential.

"Okay, I'm not a rookie anymore."

Zhao Wuji muttered to himself and then began to look at the code framework carefully.

"It's nothing, it's so mysterious."

"It's easy if I tell you. If I don't tell you, you may not be able to figure it out even if you spend your whole life"

Hawaii's voice sounded from behind.

"When did you come in?"

“I’ve been here for almost 20 minutes.”

"Wow, you didn't even knock."

"I..., okay... knock on the door next time..."

"Just kidding, we are a real couple. Even though you don't recognize it now, we are husband and wife both legally and practically."

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. This program must not be leaked to others. It took more than a dozen people in our Blue Water Star research team several years to crack the code to this point."

"It only provides two interfaces. Is it really that difficult?"

"Yes, because these two interfaces have dozens of layers of encryption shells, and the keys will change every time. You are busy, I shouldn't look at it."

"All right"

Zhao Wuji continued working on it for a few more hours until Hawaii called him to eat.

"Why would Li Jingling give you such a confidential thing?"

"She wants to find her way back to her home planet"

"Well, have you called Shao Zhen's parents?"

"Greetings"

“They suspected you, too.”

"What are you doubting? This Blue Water Planet is a gaming civilization. It's normal to be disturbed by digital life. It's also normal to partially change a person's future, right?"

"It's mainly because there's a big difference between you and Shao Zhen."

Zhao Wuji really wanted to use his memory reset skill to erase Hawaii's suspicion, but in the end he just sighed and said.

"Hey, you have to face the reality. If I hadn't traveled through time, Shao Zhen, who had already been in an accident, would be a vegetable now. Do you think there are digital life forms willing to use his body? As far as I know, digital life forms prefer people with strong bones and strong muscles."

"Well, actually they all accept this reality, so they pretend not to doubt it."

"When did you first start to doubt me? Before or after marriage?"

"After marriage, when all your wealth is made public"

"why?"

"It is impossible for ordinary people to earn so much from the Life Expansion System, including someone like me who is at the top of the list."

“I am also the top scorer.”

“So I just have a little doubt.”

"Actually, there are not many people like me on the Blue Water Planet."

"Very few. The life expansion system itself has a huge regulatory mechanism, and digital life is immortal. Generally speaking, it will not run into ordinary people. Of course, we don't know the higher-level secrets."

"Um"

Zhao Wuji had worked in the Life Development Bureau for nearly two years, and actually knew as much inside information as Hawaii, so he changed the subject.

"After I return to the Blue Water Planet, I will try my best to help you find your Shao Zhen."

"Well... I'm going to be busy."

Hawaii left the table a little dejected.

Zhao Wuji also quickly cleaned up the table and lay back in the hibernation cabin.

"Random scenario "Thunderbolt Team" opens"

“Action!”

A loud voice chopped into Zhao Wuji's consciousness like an axe. He opened his eyes suddenly, and the dazzling spotlight made him instinctively raise his hand to block it. Suddenly he found that his right arm was covered with some kind of blue and gold metal armor, and the nano-level patterns flowed with a liquid luster under the light.

"What the hell is this..." His mumbling was interrupted by a deafening explosion. Thirty meters away, the entire concrete wall shattered like a biscuit, and five fully armed figures walked out of the smoke. The man in the lead wore a metal arm armor, and the tactical eyepiece on his left eye flashed a scarlet light.

Zhao Wuji's breathing stagnated. He was very familiar with that face - Sebastian Stan, or in other words, the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes. But at this moment, there was no actor's restraint in the other's eyes, only the cold concentration unique to a killer.

"Target found." The Winter Soldier's mechanical arm made a sound of hydraulic compression. "The Sentinel is in an unstable state. Subdue him first."

Zhao Wuji looked down at his hands, and a strange memory came into his mind: Robert Reynolds, codename Sentinel, the power of a million stars, schizophrenia, nihilistic personality
“Cut!”

The set suddenly stopped. The barrel of the Winter Soldier's gun was only ten centimeters away from Zhao Wuji's forehead, and the red dot of the ballistic calculator froze on his iris. A translucent blue interface unfolded in front of Zhao Wuji's eyes:

【Actor safety system activated】

[Current script: "Thunderbolt" Game 17]

【Starring: Zhao Wuji (as Robert Reynolds/Sentinel)】

【Rule 1: Ensure the physical safety of actors】

[Rule 2: Do not deviate from the script (lines/movements/emotions)]

"What the hell is this?" Zhao Wuji stretched out his hand to touch the interface, but found that his fingers passed through the holographic projection.

“17th round, second time, Action!”

Time started flowing again. Winter Soldier's bullet grazed Zhao Wuji's temple, creating a spider web-like crack with a diameter of two meters on the wall behind him. Zhao Wuji instinctively rolled to avoid it, and his tactical movements were so smooth that it didn't seem like his own - this was obviously the system's "actor protection" at work.

"Reynolds!" Winter Soldier's voice was metallic, "SHIELD has surrounded this place, give up resistance!"

According to the script, the Sentinel should have suffered a mental breakdown at this moment, releasing his nihilistic personality and going on a killing spree. But Zhao Wuji realized that this was an opportunity - he was familiar with the entire plot and knew that Valentina was the real mastermind behind it.

"Listen, Bucky!" he said quickly, lowering his voice. "This is not a drill! Valentina is using us, and her lab is right under the Avengers Tower..."

The sudden sharp pain ran through my body like high voltage electricity.

Zhao Wuji saw his left hand breaking down into golden particles, as a force beyond the laws of physics tore his body apart at the atomic level. The blue interface flashed wildly:
[Serious violation! Line deviation 12%]

[No spoilers for key plots]

[NG penalty activated: time goes back 10 minutes]

The world seemed to be in reverse. Zhao Wuji watched the bullet holes heal, the flying rubble returned to the wall, and the Winter Soldier backed away from the smoke and dust produced by the explosion. In the end, even his consciousness began to blur, like a drop of water stuffed into a washing machine.

“Action!”

The same spotlight, the same explosion. Zhao Wuji knelt on the ground in cold sweat. This time he remembered the heart-wrenching pain. The cold prompt of the system was still beating on his retina:

[Number of NGs remaining: 2/3]

【Suggestion: Focus on performance】

The Winter Soldier's boots appeared in sight. Zhao Wuji looked up and saw the death constellation formed by five gun muzzles. The script required that the Sentinel should tremble and cry because of split personality at this moment, but now he just wanted to vomit.

"I am not..." Zhao Wuji gritted his teeth and forced himself to squeeze out the lines from the script: "Get out of my mind!"

This line was like turning on a switch. His optic nerves suddenly burned, and his vision was dyed blood red. Some ancient and hungry existence awakened in his skull, whispering the joy of killing in a voice that did not belong to any language.

[Acting Tips: Activation of Nihilistic Personality]

【Physiological response synchronization rate 92%】

Zhao Wuji raised his right hand uncontrollably, and a golden beam of light pierced through the chests of the three agents. Their bodies were directly vaporized in the million-degree heat, leaving no ashes. The Winter Soldier barely blocked it with his vibranium arm armor, but the shock wave still threw him back more than 20 meters.

"No! Stop!" Zhao Wuji screamed in the depths of his consciousness, but his nihilistic personality had already taken over his body. He "saw" his fingers inserted into the eye sockets of a female agent and felt the skull shattering between his fingers. At this time, the system popped up a comment:
[100% completion of violent scenes]

[Emotional tension rating A]

[Reward: Pain shielding for 5 minutes]

The experience of having one's moral sense forcibly suppressed by the system is more terrible than pain. Zhao Wuji is like a spectator trapped in a glass box, watching "himself" tear the entire building into pieces. When the nihilistic personality lifted the last survivor into the air, the Winter Soldier's bullet finally hit the nerve node at the back of the sentinel's neck - this is the only weakness of the script design.

“Cut! Perfect!”

Time froze again. The nihilistic personality receded like a tide, leaving Zhao Wuji kneeling in a pool of blood and retching. The blue interface flashed happily:

[17th round passed]

[15-minute break before entering Game 18]

[Tips: NG penalties will increase with the number of times]

The Winter Soldier came over and handed him a bottle of water. Zhao Wuji noticed that the other party's eyes behind the tactical goggles were inquiring: "Your acting style is very special. It doesn't seem like you are acting schizophrenic, but it seems like there are really two souls fighting in your body."

These words made Zhao Wuji shiver all over.

What was even more terrifying was that when the Winter Soldier turned around, he clearly saw a flash of blue light on the back of his neck - that was not something in the script.

The sound of the clapperboard sounded again. Zhao Wuji looked at his shaking hands, the golden energy still pulsating faintly deep in his blood vessels. A new message popped up on the system interface:

[Next scene: Laboratory flashback]

[Key Item: Valkyrie Protocol Document]

[Warning: Do not view the back of the document]

Under the dazzling lights of the studio, Zhao Wuji finally understood what kind of dilemma he was in - to return to reality alive, he had to perfectly play the role of a super weapon that was gradually losing control. And every time he performed, the fictional "empty personality" was polluting his soul more deeply.

Is it the life extension system that is causing the problem? Or is it a magical script change?
