"I...I don't believe it either," the younger sister weakly chimed in from the side.
"Sigh! Oh well!"
Altering personnel files is illegal and can result in imprisonment if caught.
However, let's assume he still has a conscience; he already feels sorry for the two sisters, and given their strong request, he figured he should help them out...
He glanced at the camera, which should have been turned off, and finally made a decision.
"Then I will revise your files, and while I am revising your perceptions, I will add the mother-daughter dynamic... In short, there are many things that need to be changed, and I will do my best to revise them well."
"Thank you."
"Oh, no need to thank me. After you leave, it will be my turn. Then none of us will remember each other."
The research institute has been closed, and he is now the last remaining researcher.
When he was revising the two sisters' files, he noticed that there was a blank space for their names.
Oh right, the two sisters don't have real names yet; they've always been called Experiment Subject 1 and Experiment Subject 2.
The tragic virtual reality experiment, which yielded no significant results over 10 years, destroyed the childhoods of two girls.
However, someone who aids and abets evil has no right to speak out for justice.
"A name? I have absolutely no talent for naming things." The older sister was truly at a loss.
"I don't know either... How about I call myself 'Little Sister' and the older sister 'Older Sister'?"
"That won't do."
Looking at the two silly sisters, he couldn't suppress his impulse and said, "Can I give you names?"
"you?"
"We've known each other for 10 years, so we can be considered friends, right?"
Ten years is a long time; it turns the young people of yesteryear into middle-aged men, and the two sisters from toddlers and babies into young women and girls.
"Then you name it, it's just a name... just remember to make it sound nice."
"Let's get your younger sister up first." The researcher squatted down and looked at his 12-year-old sister, whose body hadn't fully developed yet: "You can't see the sun in the research institute, so in the virtual reality world, you like seeing sunny days the most, right?"
"Mmm," she responded weakly.
"And you've loved playing the piano since you were little. Ever since you got to play that instrument, you would secretly play it in your room after every experiment."
"Uncle, are you a peeping tom?" The older sister got a little angry when she heard this.
"I'm not a peeping tom, because my room is right next door." He felt wronged. "If you ask me how I know, guess where my dark circles came from?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll play better next time."
"Ahem...Alright, alright, anyway, it's all over now. Let me think...How about I call you Qingxian?"
"Haru Xian?"
"Isn't this a nice name?"
"Um..."
A little girl named Qingxian began to savor her two-character name.
"Next up is your older sister. You really like flowers, right? You have a lot of violets growing in your room, don't you?"
"You know about this too?"
“I once saw your wish list, and this kind of flower was on it. I was curious at the time why the supplies clerk would buy flowers.”
"I only saw what the flower looked like in the book, so I wanted to touch it myself."
"Anyway, I'll just call you Jinlan."
After the researcher wrote her name, he handed it to her for review.
Why is it *Viola yedoensis* and not *Viola violet*?
"I feel that directly calling a flower by its name is not appropriate; adding a radical would be much better."
"Whatever you want, I have no problem with the name."
"Alright, next is the surname... Your two surnames cannot be the same."
"why?"
"To avoid being recognized as sisters, I don't know if it will actually work, but it's always good to have an extra layer of protection."
"Okay then, whatever."
"Thinking of surnames is giving me a headache... How about this, I'll give you the surname of whichever researcher you like the most?"
Among so many researchers at the institute, there are bound to be good and bad, gentle and indifferent. After so many years of getting along, the two sisters have developed different opinions about everyone.
The two sisters announced the names of their favorite researchers.
"One is Chu, the other is Ye. Very good, neither of them is my surname."
He wiped away non-existent tears with his hand.
Is it okay now?
"Okay, you can connect to the virtual reality equipment now. Next, we will erase your memories. Don't worry, just think of it as a very long dream. When you wake up, you won't see us in white coats anymore."
"it is good."
Chu Jinlan first helped her younger sister Ye Qingxian put on the equipment, and at the same time squeezed her hand tightly.
She then sat down on the virtual reality equipment platform herself, but she did not put on the helmet immediately.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
The researcher then brewed a cup of coffee; these were the last coffee beans left in the institute.
"No problem."
Chu Jinlan held the helmet in her hands and quietly looked at the middle-aged man in front of her.
"If there's nothing else, let's hurry up."
"When we wake up, we probably won't recognize you anymore, right?"
"Well, and I won't know you guys either." Taking a sip of coffee, he said with a sense of relief, "As for me, after my memories are erased, I will receive a teacher's employment certificate, and I will be able to leave the research institute and enjoy a normal life with my family."
"I believe that my sister and I can also have normal lives."
"Well, good luck to you."
"Good luck to you too."
Chu Jinlan glanced one last time at her younger sister on another device beside her. Her sister was trembling with nervousness. Chu Jinlan smiled at her sister, her expression telling her that the future would be bright.
Thank you……
Before putting on the helmet, Chu Jinlan spoke to the middle-aged man in front of her in her mind.
Their 10 years in research institute have finally come to an end, and they will now be able to live normal lives.
I have endless expectations for the future...
====================
The holographic video ended. From the very first second of the recording, Chu Jinlan had maintained a high level of concentration. During the viewing, her body did not move at all, as if her soul had passed through the image and was personally controlling her own actions in the picture.
"This footage was recovered by a super AI. Although it was deleted back then, technology is advancing every day, and recovering data from 5 years ago is not difficult at all."
Zhou Xiao's voice echoed throughout the conference room. Chu Jinlan stood up from her chair, but then sat down again. She propped her head up with her hand, seemingly trying to recall her past memories.
“Child, don’t waste your energy… cough cough.” The old lady, leaning on her cane and supported by her secretary, walked over. “Your memories of the research institute have been erased. Unless a miracle occurs, it is absolutely impossible for you to recall them.”
"Why does the technology to erase memories exist in this world...? This is terrifying..."
"Using virtual reality, we guide you to 'dream,' then swap the dream with reality, making you believe the dream is real. Furthermore, with current technology, dreams can be freely manipulated, thereby altering memories and cognition."
"So my current memories, my memories of growing up in an orphanage, are..."
"It was modified by that researcher. Did you have any sad experiences in your childhood? If not, it means he treated you very well."
"No."
In Chu Jinlan's current memory, she grew up in an orphanage and received just as much care as a normal family. The first 20 years of her life were happy, until her daughter, or rather her sister, was "born" and diagnosed with a congenital condition.
Another question arises: if, as depicted in the video, she and Ye Qingxian were 19 and 12 years old respectively when they returned to society, when did Ye Qingxian's illness begin?
Her current memory is that her "daughter" Ye Qingxian was diagnosed with a lung disease shortly after birth 17 years ago. She then divorced her "husband" and raised her daughter alone for 17 years. She should be 41 years old now.
If all of this is overturned, what about the memories in her mind?
The researcher probably intended to create happy memories for her, but in reality, the first 20 years were happy, followed by 21 years of hardship.
Her actual age is around 24 years old...
“We are also looking for the reason. The most likely possibility now is that your memories were altered for some reason after you returned to society.”
Zhou Xiao told Chu Jinlan not to worry, that everything needed to be investigated, and that Chu Jinlan couldn't help with that.
"Please continue to stay in the virtual reality world as an NPC. If you make any new discoveries, we will not hide them from you."
What do I need to do in the virtual reality world?
"You don't have to do anything, just enjoy the game."
"However, the Moonsea Guild that you sent to find me caused some conflict."
"The federal government is aware of this matter. Rest assured, the matter will be properly resolved. The federal government cannot send large numbers of people into the game, so it can only cooperate with top private guilds. Accidents and conflicts are inevitable during this process."
"Why can't you send a large number of people?"
"You'll have to ask the game world's AI. Remember the experimental report you saw? You and your sister were in the same situation back then. At first, you could enter, but later it was as if the game world's AI identified you as a 'virus,' and you were expelled as soon as you entered."
"You can't even control AI..."
"Of course not."
Zhou Xiao gave a wry smile. Whether it's AI in the game world or super AI in reality, their computing power is countless times that of the human brain. They have taken root in human society like roots, making humans dependent on them.
This dependence is now irreplaceable, so humanity can only allow super AI to continue to exist. However, many scholars are already calling for vigilance against the development of super AI, since human evolution is a slow process, while super AI, through endless data processing, evolves at a speed far exceeding that of humans.
Faya Continent is a prime example. Through its massive data volume and powerful computing capabilities, it has created a virtual game world with a level of realism comparable to reality.
