Real Players of the Department of Life

Chapter 109

"oasis"!
"Oasis..." Zhang Cishun murmured to himself, then moved his body, feeling the touch that was the same as the real world.

"No wonder escapism has become the mainstream in City No. 114, struggling to live and dying happily..."

Zhang Cishun is not easy to evaluate. Everyone has the right to make a choice. This is something that others should not interfere with.

"Oasis core testing in progress..."

"Test completed, passed."

"Please give your new world 'oasis' a brand new name."

The words appeared in front of Zhang Cishun's eyes.

Immediately following, there was an input box, with a blinking cursor blinking on and off rhythmically.

"Zhang Cishun."

He entered his name.

"Confirmed...Loading..."

As the detection passed, a small green check mark appeared behind the input box, and the entire picture seemed clearer at this moment.

In other words, it is more vivid.

The perspective began to peel away from his game character and increase.After breaking through the clouds, it dived downward at an extremely fast speed.

Zhang Cishun suddenly felt the pressure of diving, and this feeling of pressure became clearer and clearer.Perhaps the device was exerting pressure on his chest from reality. In short, at this moment, Zhang Cishun felt like he needed to work hard to breathe.

But soon, as the perspective dropped and returned, everything became normal.

He was still standing where he was, but the word "oasis" could no longer be seen in the sky.

A faint green light began to spread rapidly from his surroundings. If you look carefully, you will find that the green light is composed of numbers and formulas.

They spread very far and then began to stretch and deform.

After a short while, the phantom of a city appeared in Zhang Cishun's eyes.

"Coming!"

An unreal voice seemed to ring in my ears.

When the sound falls and disappears, the city is no longer illusory, but becomes extremely real.

At this moment, many people suddenly appeared on the streets that were supposed to be empty.These people are all kinds of strange and have very different painting styles. Two-dimensional, three-dimensional... beautiful, curious... Zhang Cishun even saw a huge octopus-like shadow in the sky.

"...Cthulhu." The moment he saw the thing clearly, he knew what it was, so Zhang Cishun was speechless.

"The use of armed force and all destructive behavior is prohibited in the city of "Oasis". If you want a hearty and exciting battle, you can enter various game copies through teleportation.

I wish you a happy game! "

Zhang Cishun waved his hand, and with his movements, the text and picture frames in the air were blown away like particles.

No one paid attention to Zhang Cishun. He stood in the middle of the road, as if he had merged into the current of the sea, unable to cause any waves.

"Oasis Coin Balance: 10000000."

Zhang Cishun glanced at his Oasis Coin through the backstage.It's a series of neat numbers.

Although this number seems small, don't forget that this is just Zhang Cishun's share. The other people in their five-person team also have a balance of 1000 million in their accounts.

According to Zhang Cishun's observation when he transferred Oasis coins, the number of people with such huge sums of money in the entire game world is not small, and they probably account for the mid-range level.

After all, there are many ways to obtain Oasis Coins in the Oasis, and the simplest one is to obtain them through various games.Among them, confrontation has the greatest benefits, but it also has the greatest risks.

Zhang Cishun closed the data and looked around.

The sun is shining brightly in the sky and the breeze is blowing.Compared with the real and harsh environment outside, this place can be described as comfortable.

He walked to the roadside, looked at the sign on the nearest tall building, hesitated for half a minute, and walked in.

This is a movie theater with no name, only the words "cinema" hanging outside.

When you enter the house, the first thing you see is the spacious lobby waiting room.Sofas and other rest items were placed among them, but no one was resting on them.

There was someone waiting at the ticket office, but seeing how bored the other person was, Zhang Cishun felt that the other person might not be an NPC, but a real player.

Because the NPC should not be so unprofessional.

"Hello."

Zhang Cishun walked over.

The other person seemed to be still immersed in her world, his eyes were dull and without the slightest focus.Only after Zhang Cishun shouted again did she wake up from her world.The dull eyes suddenly took on color.

"Hello, how can I help you?" She stood up hurriedly, and even because she stood in such a hurry, the chair underneath her rubbed against the ground and made a squeaking sound.

Very harsh.

This made her feel even more at a loss.

"Are there any movies?" Zhang Cishun asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll pull an order for you..." The girl hurriedly pulled out a panel and operated on it not too skillfully.

As she operated, movies appeared in front of Zhang Cishun's eyes one after another.

After being transferred out of the library, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the panel in front of Zhang Cishun with her hand.

"Look, what movie do you want to watch?"

There are many types of movies on the panel, most of which Zhang Cishun has never seen. There are occasionally a few familiar ones, but the numerical labels at the back have reached double digits.

For example...

"Kill Bill Again 23"

Zhang Cishun scratched on the panel casually, but never made a choice.In the end, he gave up. After glancing at the registration number marked in the upper left corner of the panel, he looked up at the girl in front of him.

"Your name is Qi? Do you have any recommendations?" he asked.

The girl was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting that the customer in front of her could call her name.Just when he was about to ask something, Zhang Cishun raised his hand and tapped the login number on the panel.

The name shown above is Qi.

The name of the oasis is unique, and it cannot be said that it cannot be changed, but it requires spending oasis coins, and it is still a large amount of money.The name you are currently using will appear on all the device login numbers that belong to you. There is no such thing as a stage name or a pen name like in the real world.

"Uh...recommended...recommended...can you watch this movie?" The girl said: "Our theater has just been authorized, and this movie is quite famous on the Internet." "Classic·Murder" Mad Demon·Bloody Night》

The picture shown was a slightly bloody scene, and under the movie name, there was a line of clear text.

Friendly participant: 嘚儿!
"...Just this."

"Okay, I'll prepare a screening room for you right now." Qi nodded.

Soon, Qi completed her preparations. A formulaic smile appeared on her face, and she said to Zhang Cishun: "You can enter from this way, and that's the screening room No. [-]."

She pointed out a direction to Zhang Cishun.

Zhang Cishun walked over and saw the nearest and clearest screening room among the numbered screening rooms at a glance, and walked in.

The room was not big, and the light was not bright. It was similar to the theater configuration in Zhang Cishun's memory, with a considerable number of seats, but at this moment, there was only one customer, Zhang Cishun.

He didn't choose a seat, just found a seat and sat down.

The screen that went out in front of me lit up.

The movie officially starts playing.

-

"Another day with no income..." Qi looked at the empty income account and sighed.She thought today would be the day to break through the zero-egg market, but the customers she expected to come turned out to be new customers.

Oasis has an iron rule that all first-day purchases for new customers are free. There is no way for them to break this iron rule. Even if Qi wants to deduct money from that customer, she can't do it.

"But it doesn't matter... I've been dead for several months, and it's about a month." Qi yawned widely and regained her weak look.

……

"Everyone has the desire to kill, but some people's desires are concealed." On the screen, the psychologist was narrating with his partner. The two came to a massacre scene again, facing this inhumane massacre. Neither the protagonist, the psychologist, nor his partner feel any discomfort when killing.

Zhang Cishun could even see the cold light overflowing from the protagonist's eyes.As for why he could see it, it was naturally because of... close-up.

“When you are marginalized by society, you feel helpless and angry, but that doesn’t mean you should commit crime. Only when everyone does their best to make this town a better place can it truly become safe. "

The end of the movie is a very intentional scene.

As the sun sets, the psychologist talks to himself in the afterglow.

His assistant disappeared, but the movie plot does not tell how his assistant disappeared.Only a close-up shot showed the blood-stained clothes of the psychological assistant.

It's a suspense.

"Ah……"

Zhang Cishun rubbed his temples and finally sighed.

The movie is not very long, about an hour and a half.The content of the story mainly tells about a series of mysterious murders that occurred in a small town. The murderer's methods are extremely cruel and make people shudder. Every time he commits a crime, he will leave a blood-red mark that makes people shudder.The police launched an investigation but had no clue.

Until one day, a mysterious figure appears in the town.He claims to be a psychologist who specializes in studying human criminal psychology. He believes that the murders in this small town were caused by a murderous maniac.

The psychologist began to investigate in depth. He found that people in this small town had their own secrets and dark sides, and everyone had the desire to kill.They are all potential candidates for a murderous spree.

As the investigation deepened, psychologists gradually discovered that the murderer was actually a marginalized person in society. Due to some reasons, he developed extreme hatred and anger, and eventually embarked on the path of crime.

Psychologists tried to help the murderer and let him return to society, but the murderer could no longer turn back.In the end, psychologists and the police cooperated and successfully brought the murderer to justice.

At the end of the movie, the people in the town can finally live in peace, but they also realize that only when everyone remains sensible and kind can the town truly become safe.

The content of the entire film is nothing too out of the ordinary, but the character creation seems extremely fragmented, especially the protagonist, the psychologist.

As a psychologist, he is obviously excellent in his profession. The only thing that is unprofessional is that he always says various meaningful words at various times.

Putting aside the essence of the entire movie and just looking at the words of this psychologist and summarizing it, you will find that this movie is not a movie in the conventional sense, it is more like an... educational film.

Take a look at what this psychologist said and you will understand.

"When you commit a crime, you not only harm the victim, you also harm yourself. - Psychologist."

"Human nature is complex, and we need more understanding and care to create a better world. - Psychologist."

"Only when we learn tolerance and understanding can we truly get rid of hatred and anger. - Psychologist."

"Human life is so precious, we should cherish every moment and work hard for a better future. - Psychologist."

"If we want to change the world, we must start by changing ourselves. - Psychologist."

"True happiness never comes from material enjoyment, but from inner peace and satisfaction. - Psychologist."

"..."

Such arguments fill nearly one-fifth of the psychologist's lines in the entire movie.Don’t look at only one-fifth of the number, but in terms of the volume of movie lines, this is already a pretty huge number.

"So in addition to telling a story about a murderous maniac, it also wants to tell people to live a good life and love life?" Zhang Cishun said he couldn't understand.

But putting aside his own factors and watching this movie in City 114...

Zhang Cishun affirmed its positive meaning.At least the filming crew is telling all moviegoers through the words of psychologists not to embrace hedonism or escapism.

"So I guess the people who shot this movie should be the 'awakening drama' shot by those people Wen Yan mentioned before who are not focused on hedonic escape."

Zhang Cishun looked at the production team list that flashed at the end of the movie. Among the complicated strings of names, the short and easy-to-remember name stood out.

……

"How do you feel?" Qi did not slip away this time. When she saw Zhang Cishun walking towards her, she stood up politely with a smile on her face.

"No evaluation." Zhang Cishun replied.

Qi didn't feel disappointed and asked politely: "Do you need anything else? I'll arrange it for you."

Zhang Cishun did not answer, but changed the topic:
"Is there usually no customers here like now?" Zhang Cishun asked.

"Most of the time there are no customers. After all, the way to relax in the movie is obviously not as good as directly entering the virtual game world. And everyone can watch movies in a private theater, so the existence of a movie theater seems redundant. Usually there are only horror movies that one would not dare to be alone. When I watch it, the attendance rate will be better, and other movies..." Qi shrugged and did not continue, but the meaning behind the words was very clear.

Zhang Cishun nodded and asked, "Do the director and production team of this movie have any other movies?"

"Yes, do you want to see it?"

"There's no need to look at it. Just give me the list." Zhang Cishun said.

As for watching movies or whatever, forget it.Just scan the plot summary and famous quotes online.

"Okay, I'll make a list for you right now."
