The absurd game of a performance artist

Chapter 88 The Unbearable Truth

"hiss--"

The cold air pierces the lungs, piercing the consciousness like a sharp sword.

Oxygen stimulated my numb nerves and turned me from an unconscious carbon-based aggregate into a living thing again.

Like a programmed machine, I opened my sleepy eyes, stood up, and stared at the blank wall in front of me.

There was a blank in front of my eyes, and a blank in my mind.

This is a long-lost feeling, a perfect natural wake-up.

Since joining [Surreal Paradise], my biological clock was once disordered, and I needed to wake up with an alarm clock.

And now, everything seems to be coming back.

【Habits】Once again dominate my life, everything is about to return to normal.

Wake up on time at 5:55AM, meditate on the wall for a while, and start brushing teeth and washing face when the alarm clock rings. This is my [habit].

strangeness?Why hasn't the alarm clock rung, what time is it now...

7:35AM
"Oops! Why did I oversleep! I'm going to be late for work!"

Brushing his teeth indiscriminately, wiping his face with a towel, Liu Sa squatted at the door, tied his shoelaces, and started off like a sprinter.

At the moment when he started suddenly, his face was quiet and pleasant.

This refreshing fragrance is not a chemically blended vulgar powder, but a natural and fresh dusty fragrance, which makes Liu Sa feel like he has eaten a mint candy.

But after Liu Sa lost his mind for a moment, he suddenly found that his head was about to hit a pair of proudly standing icebergs like the Titanic...

Beautiful tragicomedy.

"Snapped!"

A delicate white palm pressed Liu Sa's head, firmly preventing the accident from happening.

"Hello."

Immediately afterwards, a cold and gentle voice broke the upcoming embarrassing scene first.

This sound is like a thawed mountain spring, cold and pleasant.

Compared with the other party's calmness, Liu Sa drooped his head in shame, and spoke incoherently.

"Uh uh uh... I... I'm in a hurry to get to work, sorry!"

As calm and indifferent as a lake, the other party left a sentence lightly.

"It's ok."

After speaking, the other party left behind a handsome back and a series of crisp footsteps, and disappeared into Liu Sa's world.

Sniffing resentfully, Liu Sa suddenly realized that he seemed to have lowered his head just now, and didn't see the other person's face clearly...

He could only see from the back that the other party was wearing a simple white uniform, and his light beige hair was braided into a neat bun, revealing the slender and fair nape of his neck.

The snow-white complexion made Liu Sa inexplicably feel a bit of a bit of chill, revealing a kind of indifference that repulses people thousands of miles away.

"Is it the neighbor upstairs..."

Patting his head, Liu Sa inexplicably had a wonderful experience of discovering a new world.

After living here for so long, it was the first time that he found such an existence living upstairs.

If it wasn't for me waking up naturally from sleep and delaying work time, I and the other party might be like two trains on different time trajectories, with no communication at all.

Some things can only be seen if you break the track of [habit].

After a long commute, Liu Sa came to the company out of breath and was late for work for the first time in his life.

Instead of the imaginary anxiety and frustration, there is a kind of excitement to experience new things.

For the first time, he saw a new world that he had never experienced before.

It's been a long time since I saw it. It looks like the street at eight o'clock in the morning. It feels like returning to my childhood.

Also, I saw it today, it's an amazing scenery...

……

"What kind of madness are you... are you doing?"

Inspector Han, who was sitting in a chair processing the documents, raised his head from the mountain of documents with a solemn expression, and stared at the mentally ill man suffering from severe delusional disorder in front of him.

Just now, he heard the most disturbing thing in his life.

"I'm not crazy, I just want to expand my artistic field. I think fighting can also bring me artistic inspiration. Just imagine, the body lines full of strength, the passion and vitality burst out in the collision, will be will bring..."

"It will bring one new case after another."

Han Mingzhe sighed, he was at the most critical juncture in his life.

As a middle-aged man who bears the burden of his entire family, he is facing the greatest career pressure in his life.

A slight carelessness in yesterday's case would lead to unimaginable consequences. He had to devote [-] percent of his energy to preparing the materials for the case to be handed over.

Among these case materials...

There are unimaginable things.

After burning his blood last night, Han Mingzhe didn't rush to get involved because of the [expert]'s intervention.

Instead, he mustered all his energy to find out the truth, searched the victim's residence carefully, and investigated the victim's affairs based on various physical evidence.

Following these clues, he pieced together a hell.

In the face of these bloody facts, Han Mingzhe couldn't believe that the truth he discovered was so devastating.

In just one night, he felt as if he had come to a strange world, and what he had seen and heard in his past life were all false dreams.

Knowing too much is also a burden. A sober person always lives more exhausted than a person who knows nothing.

Originally a detective of the [Bureau of Order], Han Mingzhe thought he knew enough.

It is because of this occupation that he deeply understands that this world is not as beautiful as it appears on the surface.

There are many things that must be buried under the appearance of harmony, and the necessary lies are also the foundation on which society is built.

But this time, he found that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.

For the so-called truth, I know nothing at all.

Reality is even more absurd than dreams—this world is a cannibalistic hell, and the rulers are relying on the [personality] that crazily devours the people, eating one person after another to gain terrifying power!What he maintains is a society full of cannibalism!

Thinking back on everything he experienced in the [Super Realistic Game] in the past few years, Han Mingzhe suddenly felt that he had a great understanding.

It's just that in the face of the truth, the biggest obstacle is not the absurd appearance, but the erosion of cognition by the ordinary life of being content with the status quo.In the face of the fear of breaking the status quo and looking directly at the truth, not everyone has the courage to change [cognition].

But the weight of this truth is too heavy, so heavy that my soul can't bear it.

He has no power to resist this man-eating world. If given the chance to choose again, Han Mingzhe will definitely choose to sleep in the dream of ignorance compared to this breathless truth.

But it was too late.

I have already stepped into the real world because of a sudden surge of enthusiasm.

[Expert] Coming soon.

What should I do?
Destroy all evidence and pretend to be ignorant?
Confess what you've discovered, and resign yourself to fate?

What kind of fate will he usher in...

And at this critical moment of destiny, a stressed kid pops up from the door, who wants to show him an unprecedented new world...
