Uplifting Journey

The illusion of the world line at the information level appears ethereal and misty, and Cheng Bin's consciousness was captured by the system from Gaowei, and he experienced many scenes that seemed real and unreal in the ups and downs.

During occasional sobriety, Cheng Bin realized the essence of these world illusions—those were things that he had never experienced before, but that actually happened to other parallel Cheng Bins.

And these scenes all come from the moments when Cheng Bin made the most profound decisions on his future path.

Cheng Bin doesn't know the meaning of the system's behavior that seems to have no effect on his own body, but he tries his best to influence the decision-making subject in every scene, so that he can make the choice that best suits his own ideas .

I just don't know when this cycle of life choices will end.

In an information virtual world built with materials from the Inner Domain No. 1 world, in a city in the interior of China.

On the spire at the top of a landmark building, a hazy figure seemed to blend into the night, ignoring the violent high-altitude wind, scanning the city below without moving.

The brightly lit urban night scene always makes the overlooker feel the power of human beings and technology, but if the perspective is zoomed in and deep into the dark corners of this bustling city, the ugliness originating from human nature will always make the observer feel annoyed.

Cheng Bin tugged at the neckline of the windbreaker that was covered with metal and electromagnetic components inside. He floated away from the top of the tower and moved his stiff body for a while, then fell back to the narrow platform, looked up at the gloomy sky and sighed.

Sonic vibrations, electromagnetic radiation, network information, camera monitoring. The condescending panorama uses a large number of specialized wide-area detection modules to feed back the city data model that Cheng Bin has lived in for many years to his eyes in as much detail as possible.

The constantly revised and upgraded panorama through learning and experimentation allowed Cheng Bin to understand the city more deeply than anyone else, and also allowed him to see too many crimes that ordinary people could hardly perceive.

——There is an endless stream of disgusting mice. The to-do list and development list are getting longer and longer. Human life is limited. If you continue to procrastinate like this.

Cheng Bin sighed with complicated emotions, and then he sharpened his gaze, staring at a corner of the city shown in the panorama, and took off a knuckle-long diamond-shaped metal block from the special belt around his waist.

The special dart with multiple effects solidified by Nian Qi was thrown out by Cheng Bin, and fell rapidly under the dual effects of gravity and Nian Qi.

With the help of the guidance module of Cheng Bin's panorama, the dense flying object approaching the speed of sound drew an S-shaped arc, and burrowed into a remote roadway like a poisonous snake.

Accompanied by the sound of bone shattering and blood spurting, the two fugitives who fled from other places fell to the ground like wooden stakes, leaving only the victim screaming in horror with blood all over his face.

Cheng Bin at the top of the building frowned, glanced at his hands, and then called up the action records at this point in time to browse through.

"Recently, the attack has become more and more serious, and I have begun to stop avoiding witnesses, and don't care about leaving abnormal traces?"

Putting away the record and looking at the night view of the city, Cheng Bin felt a little uneasy in his heart—although the urban legends that gradually spread, and the more tragic and bizarre fate of the criminals, effectively curbed many people's dishonest thoughts and lowered the city's reputation. crime rate, but

In contrast, the number of abnormal traces left by one's own actions and the attention of state agencies are constantly rising.

"Am I subconsciously forcing myself to make a choice as soon as possible?" Cheng Bin recalled the wonderful experience during this period, with a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth

It all started when he wanted to buy a lottery ticket on a whim, but was kidnapped after winning the lottery by accident.

Cheng Bin, who had just left the hospital and was alone and no one was paying attention, just like what a yellow-haired kidnapper said, no one would call the police to investigate, and he could only suffer in despair.

After Cheng Bin accidentally saw the real face of the kidnapper under disguise, the other party even planned to kill him directly.

But at the juncture of life and death, Cheng Bin awakened the supernatural ability Nian Qi, and successfully solved the kidnappers by using the dust to blind and the eardrum offensive.

Since then, feeling the despair and longing for rescue when he was near death, Cheng Bin began to research and develop his own abilities, and at the same time carry out justice everywhere to provide assistance.

Because of the lottery winnings and the power of mind energy, Cheng Bin does not lack the funds to punish rape and eliminate evil and chivalry. He even set up a private research base to develop and manufacture props with various coordination abilities.

Cheng Bin, who does these things, feels that he is a bit like Batman, except that he sometimes hits harder.

Immersed in research and study, occasionally going through the night scene to adjust the taste, this kind of wonderful life lasted for a long time, until Cheng Bin developed the panorama.

The panorama that integrates all perception channels for digital modeling has expanded Cheng Bin's ability to perceive the world to the limit. he.

At first glance, this seems to be a good thing, but soon Cheng Bin was involved in the panorama and fell into self-contradiction——

Unlike the original heroic actions of passively discovering events as if to relax and adjust, the power of the panorama made Cheng Bin inevitably notice countless crimes that were out of the sight of ordinary people, and his character and experience drove him into the dilemma of constantly running around actively.

As Cheng Bin's abilities continued to grow, the city with a population of tens of millions showed more and more dark corners. Even if the criteria for judging evil deeds that drove Cheng Bin to take actions dropped again and again, he gradually began to feel exhausted. .

The gangsters downstairs who harass and beat people don't care? Don't care about the robbery and murder in the alley tens of meters away?

Also within the scope of sight and action ability, why not take care of another matter of similar nature if you take care of one thing? If you don't go, then is it not a righteous heart that drives you to act, but a desire to express your strength and win praise?

Cheng Bin, who once fell into self-doubt, began to look for a way out of his predicament.

But there are obviously only a few ways out——

The simplest thing is to turn off the panorama in daily life, out of sight and out of mind, completely forget about immature justice, and naturally return to a normal rhythm of life and go about your own affairs.

In addition, you can also find ways to gradually contact and cooperate with the public security or state agencies, but at present, your own ability is far from enough to fight against state violence.

The rest is to lower the judgment standard of actions again, turn a blind eye to the evils that are too common, and squeeze out time to continue researching and developing one's own abilities until one has enough strength to solve all problems.

Although a little ashamed, Cheng Bin is more inclined to the last option in the game between emotion and reason.

But at the same time, he felt a little uneasy - he repeatedly lowered the criterion for judging whether the degree of crime has reached the bottom line of action, and used this as an excuse to squeeze out time to improve his ability, but if the ability really improves all the way.

If one day, his power surpasses civilization, how far will his crime standard be reduced? When his eyes can overlook the history of civilization and see all the crimes and tragedies in the past and the future, will he turn a blind eye to these low-level things that were once extremely persistent?

I don't know if it's a hallucination, but Cheng Bin, who thought of this, seemed to hear a slightly helpless chuckle.

Withdrawing his chaotic thoughts, Cheng Bin stared at the city that entered the quietest state of the day in the early morning. He rubbed his eyes tiredly, then stretched and yawned.

Vaguely, there seemed to be a voice whispering in his ear, but Cheng Bin felt that it was a natural thought coming from the bottom of his heart.

——The so-called evil comes from the human heart and human nature on the one hand, and also from the limitations of productivity and technological level on the other hand. If there is an all-pervasive monitoring system, the evil will naturally be forced to shrink and change its form, and achieve its current goal in a disguised form.

——So, the development of civilization and scientific and technological progress are the best ways to solve these problems. Although changes in production relations and institutional systems take tens or hundreds of years, such changes are thorough and irreversible. Civilizations don't need gods or saviors, they can only rely on themselves in the end.

Cheng Bin's heart twitched slightly - it is still impossible for him to solve all the unbearable incidents. Just monitoring a city has already made him in a hurry, and he wants to implement his will in the entire human civilization.

——Maybe, I should study hard and find a way to be a civilian scientist and inventor? I don't know what the recruitment criteria of the Huaguo Research Institute are.

Cheng Bin, who had another choice in his heart, sighed, and then his figure blended into the night scene with the strong wind in a flash, and flew towards his nest.

——No matter what the final choice is, if you really see an unbearable evil, you really can't just stand by, no matter what, do you have to temporarily reduce the scope and depth of the panorama monitoring?

In an information virtual world built with materials from the No. 7 world of Inner Domain, inside a simple building covering an area of ​​over a thousand square meters.

In the warm room, lying on a large bed that is not too crowded for ten people, Wen Bin, who was slightly submerged in the softness, suddenly felt the stimulation brought by the warmth in the misty room after waking up.

After taking a deep breath, Wen Bin, who was slowly waking up, pulled up the thin quilt on his chest and took a look inside. He saw a pair of twin girls with long, smooth golden hair.

Although the hair color and skin are of Western race, his face is quite in line with the oriental aesthetic concept, but he doesn't know how old he will be until he turns bad.

After meeting their turned eyes, Wen Bin put down the thin quilt casually, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the picture made of exquisite concave-convex patterns on the ceiling of the room.

At the same time, invisible power penetrated into the heads of the two women who climbed onto his bed.

Wen Bin casually flipped through the twins' memories, and unsurprisingly found that this was a private arrangement of a subordinate who provided accommodation in this area, a subordinate who didn't know his real identity very well.

——Although the early warning mechanisms based on abilities have not been touched, this kind of behavior has crossed the line somewhat.

After lightly flipping and revising the minds of the twins, Wen Bin turned his attention back to reality, and waved his hands to let the twins who had completed the service and aftercare work leave with a trace of resentment. He walked to the window naked and opened the seemingly simple Wooden windows, calmly watching the beautiful scenery of the lake not far away.

After graduating from university and gaining the terrifying ability to control people's hearts, he started his career in psychology, constantly secretly integrating various underground forces, infiltrating the economies and political systems of various countries, and single-handedly creating an unparalleled behemoth.

In this unnamed organization, except for Wen Bin, everyone knew that the organization they belonged to was terrifying, but no one knew how terrifying the organization they belonged to was.

Harnessing the power of a relatively large country, Wen Bin enjoyed his life while growing up. He has tried all the best things in the world, from food to beauties.

But the pure desire of the body cannot cover up the desire from the soul.

While constantly adjusting and strengthening the organization, Wen Bin naturally began to pursue more things - such as the complete unification of human civilization, such as making himself immortal

The modern society does not know how many rich and powerful people are secretly supporting the research on life extension. Wen Bin, who is also involved in it, knows deeply that even if he can directly unify human civilization at this moment and gather all the forces to start related research, it will not be possible. It may not be possible to complete the feat of breaking the limit of life span in his lifetime.

Then it is the only way to study the human spirit at the material level, analyze the operation of the brain and body organs, and find a way to upload and transfer the soul.

Wen Bin, who possesses the power to control the mind, as long as he uses his ability reasonably, there is hope to crack the fog in the human brain, at least. It should be possible to crack his own, even if the hope is slim.

However, is it worth it to completely give up the current good life, take huge risks and break through the lower limit of the past, bury yourself in boring study and research, and pursue something with an extremely slim chance of success?

After all, there is no truly eternal thing in the world, and it is not a bad choice to spend a hundred years happily. Besides, what if the biotechnology suddenly advances explosively later?

Rubbing the wooden window sill that exudes a faint fragrance that penetrates the heart and lungs, Wen Bin hesitantly sighed slightly.

At this moment, a voice faintly sounded from the bottom of his heart, as if he was talking to himself trying to convince himself.

——In fact, looking at the bright side, the hope is not so slim. Relying on the ability and past accumulation, it should not take too much time to develop technological products that intervene in human sensory signals and body control signals.

——If you have this kind of thing, you can make deals with all countries, and finally create virtual reality games. While gaining huge profits, you can also include a huge number of humans in it, and obtain countless human brain data, which will greatly promote the progress of related research.

——At that time, the ability to act on the mind can also directly affect the vast majority of human beings on the earth, and engrave the ideological stamp into the bone marrow of civilization at one time.

——In that case, the fear of losing the inexplicable ability will go away from you, and with the baptism mechanism for newly connected humans, you will dominate everything and become the real and eternal emperor of mankind.

——Anyway, it’s enough to make progress, I hope you can keep climbing faster than everyone else.

Ah, I caught up with the writing. Today I either eat or drive or walk around. I thought it was too late to write it when I came back, but I put down my morals and rushed out before midnight. Tsk tsk, I saved a leave quota.
