Durin's Diary

Chapter 367 Time Reading

The director of the Sidney Arts Center is an old elf with white hair and beard and a kind face.

He must have received a tip-off from Romil and came early the next morning.

Since he was here, Du Lin naturally couldn't stop him from watching the movie.

The film opens with a long shot, rising from the automatic cleaning machine in the sewer to the ground, where a crowd of people in raincoats are walking in the rain, and there are various small shops on the street; the camera continues to rise, showing signs all over the wall, and all kinds of people in the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows.

Going higher, the camera saw a group of hovercrafts flying in the air.

Until the camera rises to the top floor of the building, the camera begins to move until it approaches the protagonist on the bed.

Music: 'Let You Down'

Feel the rhythm of the streets
Feel the flashing neon lights on this street
Neon lights and neon dreams
Like my untouchable light and dream
Bloody fists they feel no pain
Those people have blood on their hands but they don't feel any pain
When there's so much more to gain
Just to fight for more fame and fortune
The short first four lines of lyrics made the old elf raise his brows.

He watched the entire movie in one go and raised questions about many scenes, such as prosthetics and clones.

At the end, he finished watching the ending prepared by Du Lin. In the end, he watched the protagonist and Rachel sitting on the roof of the car facing the sunset. After the ending, he looked at Du Lin with some doubts: "This doesn't seem like a movie you made."

Du Lin smiled: "You see."

"Yes, it's too bland. It doesn't seem like your movie. Your movies don't have such bland endings." The old elf said this and looked at Durin. "Take out the best ending in your mind, child. I know you must be hiding it."

Du Lin nodded and reached out to touch the magic crystal.

A new independent ending appeared, in which the male protagonist and Rachel rushed into the factory and wanted to destroy the clone factory.

Inside the factory, Rachel has reached her deadline, and the male protagonist holds her and moves forward with the bomb, but at the corner, the male protagonist's former colleague Gaff appears and wants to stop the protagonist.

Du Lin designed extremely radical lines specifically for them.

What's the point of destroying such a factory? There are tens of thousands of factories in this world. Clones like you are being produced by them all the time. You only have a lifespan of four years. You will be sent to the most dangerous areas and do the most dangerous jobs. No one cares whether you live or die!

But destroying a factory like this can make all the clones and natural people in the world understand that clones are not objects of slaughter! We don't need to blow up all the factories, we just need to let them know that there are people who are resisting!
After a tit-for-tat argument, Gaff and the male protagonist finally chose the most drastic option.

At the same time, the music 'Test of Loyalty' started.

·three

Don't push me, Gav.

·two

Can't you just get out of the way!
I am a police officer.

·sorry.

Both sides drew their guns, and the male protagonist fired first, and the bullet pierced Gav's lung.

The fragility of human nature made Gav kneel on the ground. He gasped for breath and finally knelt with his head lowered.

The male protagonist checked the gun in Gav's hand, but found that it was not loaded.

Finally, he picked up Rachel and walked into the depths of the factory with the bomb.

The screen goes black.

There are white words appearing, and there is also the voice-over of an old man.

The suffering of all living beings is mostly due to endless desires and endless struggles.

Without desire, human beings cannot progress.

Without struggle, justice cannot be achieved. Thus, civilization is like a waltz.

War—peace—revolution, they come one after another with the music, dancing to the end of the era and the destruction of civilization.

The music and narration end synchronously with the movie.

"That's more like you. The final shot and lighting are truly amazing." The old elf nodded with great satisfaction. "Let's use this version. The Art Center is willing to purchase your first release rights and screen it in Farol for half a month. How about that?"

"If you can guarantee a cinema chain, there will be no problem." Du Lin nodded.

Both parties signed the contract happily. The old director would transfer the money to Du Lin after returning and take away the copy.

Du Lin said goodbye to the old director and was about to leave when he saw Rabin standing in the shadows beside him.

He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and cropped linen trousers today.

"Rabin, how did you get here?"

"Everyone went to Farol. I heard that you were in the Everburning Nest, so I wanted to try my luck. Didn't you just come up in the elevator?" Rabin stretched out his hand.

Du Lin also shook hands with him: "You have done a great thing."

"I just want to avenge every friend I know who died because of the royal family. Like Tony, this dwarf is annoying sometimes, but he is really a good brother. I can't just abandon him..." Having said that, Rabin followed Durin into the Everburning Nest.

The two went to the second floor and found a quiet corner. Mrs. Katrina soon came over with two cups of coffee.

The three snow leopard cubs were now running after her. Du Lin waved and the three little guys jumped onto the sofa and sat next to Du Lin.

"So cute."

"Yes." At this point, Du Lin looked at Rabin and said, "What about you? Are you still planning to go back?"

"I'm not going back. My father is furious with me and wants to disown me." Rabin sighed. "I know he wants to protect his family, my mother, three brothers, and my sister... It's okay, actually."

Du Lin shook his head: "What are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know, but Northernism should assign me a job soon. I should be very busy by then, and I might not have time to see you." Having said that, Rabin took a sip of coffee first. "By the way, the Tony family has been officially moved to his family cemetery. Have you received the news?"

"I got it. To be honest, this is a good thing. My original arrangement was very hasty. Now that they can move to Silver Peak Mountain, I have fulfilled my wish." Du Lin was very happy about this matter - Tony's family was moved to the Silver Peak Mountain family cemetery. If Du Lin really wanted to see his old friends in the future, he would not have to go to Copenhagen with a wanted order.

Thinking of this, Du Lin looked at Rabin again and said, "Then when you settle down, you must tell me where you live."

"Of course. I'll invite you when the time comes. Don't say you don't have time." Rabin replied with a smile.

"I will definitely make time." Du Lin said, patting his chest.

Rabin smiled happily, and the young man squinted his eyes: "I still remember the first time I met you."

"I remember too, you mistook me for me, and then you two just sat there like idiots."

At this moment, Du Lin regained the long-lost happiness, the pleasant days of sitting on the sofa on the first floor of the dormitory with friends and chatting about music, movies and novels.

There is no swordplay in life, and no bloodshed in missions.

Some are just young people's imaginations about the future.

　let you down
　　Cyberpunk Edgewalker's ending theme song

　　Test of Loyalty
　　Music from Cyberpunk 2077's Shadows of the Past DLC
　　These are my two favorite songs, the high technology and low life of cyberpunk, the tragic core is nothing more than this.

　　Although 2077 is not satisfactory overall, it is really a good game in recent years.
