Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 312 Soul Equation

Fox demon saved the live broadcast atmosphere!
Looking at the dense barrage of comments, Owl cheered in his heart.

Facts have proved that the yearning for beautiful things is the same on any planet and in any civilization. Just like now, when the topic about fox demons started, the audience had a heated discussion, and someone took out the "Encyclopedia of Cosmic Beauty Appreciation" and started discussing it.

Duan Mingyuan soon discovered that more than 70% of the viewers in the live broadcast room were loyal users of this series, and they were already familiar with the ethnic groups listed above.

The discussion about beautiful things made them turn hostility into friendship.

The stance still exists, but everyone has become a fan of fox spirits, or in a broader sense, a fan of beautiful things. Most people are not only fond of fox spirits, but uphold the fraternal spirit of "anything is fine".

The live broadcast came to an end, and the audience left the room after saying "That's all for today's live broadcast."

When the live broadcast was cut off, Owl stretched.

"Want to go for a drink?"

Although he had already anticipated Duan Mingyuan's answer, he still politely extended the invitation. The staff of the studio were all assigned to them by the company, and today was the first formal cooperation between the two parties. Owl decided to get along well with his new colleagues.

There is a bar in the living area of ​​Prison Star. Although it cannot compare with those magnificent places, it can also allow them to spend a wonderful evening.

"No."

Duan Mingyuan completed his job as a special guest. Just as Jiu Yue said, overtime is a bad culture, and he believes that socializing after get off work is also a form of overtime culture.

However, as soon as they walked out, a mechanical prison guard blocked their way.

"Gentlemen, how do you feel about the live broadcast just now?"

There was still no emotion in his tone.

Owl glanced at Duan Mingyuan and saw that he had no intention of answering, so he said, "The atmosphere is good and lively, and the audience has a strong desire to speak."

He believed that advertisers would be willing to spend a huge amount of money to appear on this show.

The mechanical prison guard nodded.

It was an expected answer, but liveliness was not the result it hoped for.

The scale of this trial is far larger than in previous years, with the number of applicants increasing several times. The company’s team contributed greatly to this. They discovered business opportunities and turned the trial into a real-life reality show.

This also made its idea more firm.

The soul is the root of everything. No matter good or evil, they are all puppets controlled by desires. What it needs to do is to free everyone from the identity of puppets.

"Please follow me. Next, I will arrange the rules and procedures of the trial."

The mechanical prison guard took the two to the room next to the studio, where there was also a screen, which was currently showing images of a certain prison area.

Some familiar faces appeared on the screen.

Outside the cell, the members of the Actus Pirates gathered together again, but he did not expect that the contestant he identified as "cannon fodder" was actually one of them by coincidence.

It is obvious that the "Big Smart" contestant did not truly understand the true meaning of this nickname.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.

How could a truly intelligent person become a space pirate?

The crew of Actus were in high spirits, and "Big Smart" became a hero among them. This was the first shot for the Actus Pirates to make a name for themselves in the prison area. They were imagining the moment when "Big Smart" won the game, and then they would replace the largest gang here and become the new boss of the prison area.

This would at least give them some hope in life. It must be said that the "smart" behavior won them respect. Now the pirates can enter and leave the cell freely. As long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, other prisoners in the prison area will not embarrass them.

"Somewhat something is wrong."

The owl soon discovered the clue.

The "hero" himself, "Da Congming", was out of tune with the lively atmosphere of the team. Although he stood in the crowd, enjoying people's flattery and support, there was no look of joy on his face.

Likewise, there is no worry about an uncertain fate.

There was no expression on his face, and everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

This is absolutely not consistent with the motivation of "Da Congming" to sign up for the stage.

Just imagine that this space pirate mustered up his courage and input his name into the instrument under tremendous pressure, all for the arrival of this moment, to be praised and commended, which would make him feel that everything he was about to give was worthwhile.

But these things that were originally desired by "Great Wisdom" now seem boring to him.

"It's getting late, rest."

"Big Smart" interrupted the pirates surrounding him.

The other pirates also noticed that he was not in a good state today, but guessed that the trial might have brought him too much pressure, so they came forward to comfort him and stopped disturbing him.

Duan Mingyuan has also been paying attention to the movements of "Da Congming".

His demeanor and tone seemed familiar to him—Da Congming's behavior looked exactly like those of the mechanical prison guards.

Don't be swayed by any emotions and always remain calm and rational.

"What did you do to him?"

The owl had a bad feeling and asked.

“This is an experiment.”

The mechanical prison guard said, "I monitored the status of all applicants at the same time. Their vital signs are normal and there are no adverse reactions."

The experimental results are consistent with its theory.

Facts have proved that the soul is not necessary for humans. After removing the soul, their vital signs will not be affected in any way and they can still maintain independent thinking.

The only difference is that they will no longer be blinded by any desires, and any judgment they make will be based on rational analysis.

This is the state it most desires.

"Can you explain it more clearly?"

Owl demanded.

He didn't like the word "experiments," especially when they happened on humans.

There was something weird in the eyes of "Great Intelligence", and staring at him for a long time gave Owl goose bumps.

"To put it simply, I took their souls. This is the first step of the experiment. In the following rules, I will gradually lift the restrictions on each area and give them freedom they have never enjoyed before. They can freely go to any prison area and do whatever they want, just to verify one thing."

The mechanical prison guard said, "Given their full freedom, will these hopeless villains continue to commit crimes... There is only one way to win this trial. As long as they can find their souls, they will win."
