Original Translations: Crafted with Care, No Unauthorized Reposting Allowed.

He is a quiet and gentle person, with little social life, a white coat that is clean all the year round, a square-shaped gold-rimmed glasses, the kind of young talent that people usually think of, became a master in archaeology at the age of 20, worshipped giant creatures, his life's favorite is the Jurassic, the second love is Yongchuanlong, the third love is herbaceous amniotes.

Since talking about boyfriends, the lambdas have taken over.

His boyfriend, Qingguang Jiao, is also a scientist, specializing in drugs that inhibit class A globulin, and is a senior in pharmaceutical engineering next door.

The two met at an internal academic conference, where Anyi Bai and Qingguang Jiao presented their newly published papers as representatives of their respective departments.

Qingguang Jiao presented "Experimental Study of Targeted Therapeutic Class A Globulin-Secreting Nanodrugs" and Anyi Bai presented "On the Recovery of Peaceful Yongchuanlong".

After a brief summary of the paper by Anyi Bai, it was time for the customary question-and-answer session.

Qingguang Jiao raised his hand.

Anyi Bai was a little curious, not knowing what he could ask himself, so she nudged him up, "Senior Jiao."

Qingguang Jiao stood up and pointedly said, "I would like to ask, what is the relevance of your paper? Who cares about the Jurassic when the realistic problems are not yet solved?"

Faced with such a sharp question, Anyi Bai just froze for a second, and then smiled gently: "There are action-oriented people like Jiao who do things on the ground. It is because of people like Jiao that we can look up to the starry sky a million years ago with confidence."

After the meeting, Qingguang Jiao apologized to Anyi Bai.

He scratched the back of his head, "It's my fault, I was too impulsive. I shouldn't have embarrassed you in public."

Anyi Bai knew that Qingguang Jiao was a staunch anti-pagan, and that he was the only one whose paper had nothing to do with the current reality, so it was no surprise that he was displeased with his own attitude.

He gave a polite bow, "It's okay, it's just an academic discussion. Our profession is often questioned about the relevance, I wouldn't mind."

Anyi Bai is so good-tempered that Qingguang Jiao is even more confused: "Let me treat you to ice."

Anyi Bai looked at her watch and said seriously, "My mentor told me to go to her office after I finish my presentation. We'll meet at the east gate at 4:30 p.m., okay."

Later, Anyi Bai and Qingguang Jiao fall in love like a corny school story.

Qingguang Jiao came out to her family when she was in high school, and Anyi Bai grew up in Orphanage, so their relationship was not hindered by any external forces.

In terms of their three views, there is nothing particularly different between them, except that they have different attitudes towards the alien.

Anyi Bai is rather conservative and tolerant, even holding hands will be shy, and all his heart is in research, Qingguang Jiao and him dating for two years, the most romantic thing is just holding hands in the playground at night to walk.

As an undergraduate, Anyi Bai took a double degree in astronomy and archaeology, and he would tell Qingguang Jiao the story of the starlight that was transmitted from thousands of years ago and may now be extinct.

Anyi Bai's world and social circle are very simple, so after awakening such a strange ability, his first thought was to tell Qingguang Jiao.

When Qingguang Jiao heard it at first, he thought he was joking.

But when he saw Anyi Bai's expression did not look fake, Qingguang Jiao panicked and tried his best to stabilize his emotions before persuading him, "Hurry up and register!"

Anyi Bai blushed white: "I don't want to. ...... I'll just tell you, will you help me and keep this a secret?"

He has the common problem of people who read too much to admire freedom, not to mention, he is so starry-eyed, yearning for the ancient century, think also know that he loves freedom.

He has always had a tolerant attitude towards the alien and the feeling that things hurt.

Qingguang Jiao got anxious and put his hand in his coat pocket and looked straight at Anyi Bai: "It's not a matter of what you want or don't want! Do you want to do something with your power?"

Anyi Bai stubbornness, is also nine oxen can not pull.

He said negatively, "Yeah, I want to do something, I want to take myself and do research! I want to try to see if my abilities can help me do research! OK?"

Anyi Bai and Qingguang Jiao had their first argument since they met.

The end result was an unhappy breakup.

Anyi Bai went back to the lab and immersed herself in the experiment to try to relieve her worries.

In front of the eyes, a layer of gray and cloudy, as far as the eye can see, are floating granular dust, dust colorful, different forms, like a virus under the microscope.

And he was very heavy on his body, for normal people have as if there is nothing in the air as if suddenly there is weight and resistance, he moved every time, feel like in the water, not much time out of a cold sweat.

He sighed, put down the test tube, which seemed to him to be covered with bacteria, and tried to rest on the table for a while.

However, an hour later, a team of heavily armed experimenters rushed into the house.

Anyi Bai was charged with attempting to conceal his competency, as evidenced by a recording submitted by whistleblower Qingguang Jiao.

"...... I want to take myself to do research! I want to try and see if my abilities can help me do research!"

As he was being forced into the isolation suit and escorted into the isolation van, Qingguang Jiao, who had been waiting quietly, came walking quickly.

Touching Anyi Bai's desperate gaze, Qingguang Jiao settled down and said compassionately, "...... I am doing this for the safety of all mankind."

...... Anyi Bai but smelled the strong smell of disinfectant on him.

After being separated from himself, he washed himself with disinfectant water.

The eyes behind his lenses were slightly closed, and he ignored Qingguang Jiao for another minute.

At first, Anyi Bai thought that the worst thing she could do was to be expelled from school, and after three months of closed education on the code of the alien, she was forced to wear a collar and become a free slave under the social machine.

But he thought wrong.

This country has an extraordinary hatred for psychics who try to conceal their identity.

In many people's opinion, the ability of the alien to conceal their abilities is to have criminal intent.

The society has even established a comprehensive monitoring body and reporting reward mechanism to sanction these "fish out of water", they will conceal the supernatural ability of the supernatural people detained and handed over to the monitoring body, for "re-education".

Of course, on the surface, the state still calls for equality for all, but secretly, any action by these "watchdogs" is authorized and supported by the law.

Anyi Bai went in the first day, confessed all his abilities to the staff, and argued that he could only see some substances suspended in the air and feel the heaviness of the air, so he did not feel the need to report it, and he did not want to lose his freedom for such a frivolous ability.

The man in the navy blue overalls didn't look at him the whole time, smiled lightly, and made a horizontal stroke on the electronic record belonging to Anyi Bai.

Anyi Bai doesn't know what this stroke means.

By the time he was dragged into the shock room, he understood that putting pen to paper on the electronic record meant that the "prisoner" had made a mistake today and "disobeyed".

Draw on a stroke, electric shock once, once three gears.

Draw a full "positive", the electric shock level to the fifth gear.

This is both a punishment and an experiment, testing the physical limits of the alien.

For Anyi Bai, third gear is torture, and fifth gear is worse than death.

During their confinement, they had to get up every morning at five o'clock, recite the Law on the Management of Abnormal Human Beings, take a sample test in the morning on what they had recited yesterday, and make sure that every word was correct; in the afternoon, they had to study all the other laws, and in the evening, they had to submit a 1,000-word self-reflection essay, the content of which was not allowed to be repeated or similar, and they were allowed to go to bed uniformly only after twelve o'clock at night.

When sleeping, they are not allowed to lie down, can only sit in the transparent "cold capsule" sleep, built-in various instruments, real-time monitoring of their every move.

And the capsule is made of a special material that will artificially balance and inhibit the Class A globulin in their bodies, and is exceptionally strong, not something that can be broken by ordinary force.

They eat with folded hands and give thanks to humanity; before going to bed, they recite the "Alien Safety Code" in unison. Blood sampling and human testing became a happy thing, because it meant they could have half a day to a day off.

People with psychic abilities who are imprisoned in the monitoring institutions become prisoners who cannot even defecate on their own.

Anyi Bai is a caller for freedom and a stubborn scholar, so she is considered a "restless person" and is often subjected to electric shocks.

He tends to pass out from the immense pain just as the electric shock begins, and when he wakes up, he has been put back into the capsule.

Once when he woke up, he found his arms were burnt in a big way.

The pain is no longer felt, the only remnants are paralysis and burning.

He was wearing a bondage suit and could not move his upper body, so he could only close his eyes and slowly stomp on the ground with his feet.

Next door to him was a young man with a perm who was allowed to come back for half a day's rest because 500 cc's of blood had been drawn.

Seeing him awake, the plane head accosted him: "Dude, you're too fierce, right? Great!"

Thinking he was talking about his negotiations with the "manager" - the name given to the staff member wearing the navy blue overalls here - Anyi Bai said politely: "No."

The plane head looked at his feet slowly moving on the ground and asked, "What are you doing?"

Anyi Bai closed her eyes and said, "I am now stepping on Jupiter."

Airplane Head: "Huh?"

Anyi Bai shifted her feet and had a whole star map in her mind and said to herself, "...... I jumped over a few comets and came to Titan XV ...... Saturn is like a jewel, I uncovered Saturn's storm -- a red-black Saturn storm, as a shawl, draped over my body ......"

Such imagination can relieve his pain.

The head of the plane saw him muttering and saying something unintelligible, so he summed it up in a nutshell, "Nervous."

There are quite a few insane alters in the watchdogs, and these people often end up being shipped up to isolation rooms, unaccounted for.

Anyi Bai had asked the "manager" where they were going, and the answer was another mark in the record book.

Perhaps because Anyi Bai was so difficult to work with, his "manager" was so disgusted with him that he extended his prison sentence on the grounds that he was "not sincere in accepting rehabilitation".

Later on, Anyi Bai also became more honest and learned to be silent to people and only resist with her heart.

Time, even if it is hard to pass, at least one minute has passed.

His period of imprisonment-restraint is finally coming to an end.

Seeing that it was all coming to an end, Anyi Bai was not looking forward to the rest of his life, and only hoped that his supervisor would intercede for him to stay in the lab and continue his research, even if it was just to play second fiddle.

The mentor is open-minded enough to treat the alien, and should not ......

This reverie before he went to sleep was interrupted by a sudden spray of hypnotic va-ss into the capsule.

Without thinking about it, he fell into a deep sleep, before falling asleep, the residual consciousness can only capture a trace of vibration.

The "capsules" they used to sleep in at ...... were shipped away.

He had no idea that he was in the middle of another complete nightmare.

......

Xiaochi Chi The act of reading the world line was ruthlessly interrupted.

The truck carrying them rolled onto the rock and took a long jump upwards.

The "capsule" with a steel headband fixed their heads, as long as there is a slight movement, will be sent to the Solar Plexus electric shock pulse wave, electric people numb eye sockets, headache is unbearable, a surge in the secretion of saliva, and even uncontrollable spill from the corners of the mouth.

A painful intake of breath rises and falls in the midst of the upheaval.

Another "capsule", a thin girl's body is very light, so the vibration amplitude is greater than others.

Her headache was unbearable and she cursed, "Fuck! FUCK!!!"

After the upheaval, everything returns to silence.

Across the street, Wei XVI is still waiting for " Anyi Bai's" answer.

When he asked "what are you", he was referring to "what are your capabilities".

Even though he didn't know where they would be shipped, Xiaochi Chi was already quick to see: "How about you tell me first, what are you?"

In Anyi Bai's memory, it was strictly forbidden to exchange more than five sentences with members of the watchdog, and there were "good prisoners" among the imprisoned aliens who, after suffering a few times, changed their minds and worked as fighters for the watchdog, eager to "make a mark" by doing so.

As a result, there is a perennial silence in the institution. It is possible to spend months together and not know what each other's abilities are.

What's more, Xiaochi Chi searched Anyi Bai's memory and found no one named "Wei XVI" in it.

This carload of people, he only two familiar faces.

One is the young girl who just cursed madly, and the other is an older man who looks quite calm and steady.

Wei XVI heated smile: "So alert ah, small glasses."

He stopped sucking on the "candy" and bit the "hard candy" between his teeth, revealing its true nature.

...... That's a strange 24-sided dice.

Wei XVI again took the dice back into his mouth, biting candy like a crunching sound, slurred: "Here, I have shown sincerity. It is up to you ......"

Xiaochi Chi smiled and raised his finger to point at his glasses.

Wei XVI was stunned: "Glasses? For what purpose?"

Xiaochi Chi calmly played Tai Chi with him: "It's the same use as your dice."

Wei XVI laughed: "Have a heart, I like you."

The young girl who was cursing was called Huan Ye, and she was obviously not very good-tempered. When she heard the two of them gabbing, she said impatiently, "Can you shut up?"

Wei XVI: "Can't. I've been in that bullshit institution for six more months to not shut up. That's a very valuable quality that you can't take away."

Teenage girls: "......"

As the two of them tussled, Xiaochi Chi once again opened the world line of reception.

Just at the same time, the vehicle carrying them slowed to a stop.

With a snort, the capsule inside the car opened automatically, and the bondage suit automatically popped open the buckle, there was a large influx of fresh air from outside, washing out the smell of motor oil circulating inside the capsule.

Of course, for Xiaochi Chi, the world is a dirty place inside and out.

...... they are free?

The closest "capsule" to the truck door, climbed down from a young man with a full head of dirty dreadlocks, he wiped his face, plucked up courage, a push open the back door of the car.

The golden sunlight instantly killed, replacing the small light bulbs in the car, wheat mango-like pinprick feeling so that the people in the car all closed their eyes, eyes sensitive some, will also be more than tears.

But the young man rolled out of the car with tears streaming down his face and joy.

It's the air of freedom, the freedom of ......

He lay down on the hot earth, breathing greedily the earthy smell that was turned and baked by the sun, and tears fell like rain: "I'm free, I-"

He didn't have time to finish his exclamation before he heard the audible voice from overhead, "Cough, cough. Can you hear me."

Xiaochi Chi peeks out of the truck and notices ten other identical trucks, eleven in all, parked in the middle of a wasteland.

Above the wasteland, the grass is smoky, but from afar you can hear the loud sound of waves lapping at the shore.

Xiaochi Chi frowned: "Brother, is this normal?"

Ying Lou also stared: "Not normal."

The world line in Xiaochi Chi's head scrolled with the sound of the broadcast almost identical to the one outside:

"Fellow Exalts, congratulations on having completed your initial trials. But unfortunately, humans are still unable to trust you with the abilities you possess."

Hearing such words, the next vehicle immediately jumped down to check the cab.

Yet pulling open the driver's door, he saw an unmanned automatic setup.

"Rest assured that everything you see now is false." That broadcast voice does not contain a trace of emotion, "including you out of the hatch, come outside, are also false illusions. In reality, you are still lying asleep in the pod, but only connected to a special device."

Xiaochi Chi reacts quickly.

Is ...... a function of that helmet?

The announcing voice said, "You may understand this world, as a holographic game. This is a test for one hundred and one of your graduates. There are one hundred and one participants, all in place, with normal vitals, ready to be put into service."

Xiaochi Chi's ears are ringing with sound effects synchronized with the real world.

And the air in front of him was still murky and heavy.

He checked his card compartment and the cards inside were working properly.

"Please don't worry." The announcing voice seemed to understand their scruples, "All of your abilities are able to be used here without any obstacles. Of course, the limitations of your abilities themselves, are present."

Climbing out of the car, Wei XVI looked up to the sky and shouted, "What do you want to do?"

The broadcast voice said, "You are sinners of your country, attempted criminals. Do you now yearn for a life of freedom, the embrace of your family, a comfortable bed? Live up to your full potential and fight to live."

...... live?

What does ...... mean?

"This 'game' is about your lives." The announcing voice said, "If you die in this world, your bodies sitting in the 'capsule' in the real world, will also die completely."

There was silence in all directions, then it was replaced by angry cries.

Some people shouted and cursed, some ran to dismantle the "capsule", and in the face of all this, the broadcast was unresponsive and cold-hearted.

It wasn't until the crowd had been frenzied for five minutes and gradually quieted down that the announcer sounded again, "No act of sabotage, other than completing the test, will allow you to detach yourselves from this world. This 'game' can only be terminated by us after the winner is confirmed."

"Please raise your hands and stroke your necks." The announcing voice assiduously said, "There is a collar on it. Rest assured that this collar will only monitor your vital signs, as well as position you. It is made of a special material that will contract inward and strangle you alive once it is forcibly removed, so please use it with caution."

"On your right arm ...... pairs, please roll up your sleeves. There is a dial that serves as a clock and compass, and also shows detailed data about each of your bodies, which you can check at any time when you need it. Of course, you can also press the button on the side. It will show the percentage of your real time bets."

Someone asked incredulously, "Buy a bet? Buy what kind of bets?"

"I'm sorry. It's a way for us to operate profitably externally." The announcing voice explained, "It takes a lot of money to imprison and study the shifter. And some people, in turn, have the need to want to watch the shifter fight. So, we will broadcast the whole process of your 'game' live, and there will be people who will place money for bets. This is also a way to generate income, so please understand."

Xiaochi Chi frowned slightly and spoke out, "Why did you tell us about this?"

The announcer put on a serious voice: "We must inform you of this out of concern for the human rights of the alien. You have the right to know. And, please pay more attention to the odds of this 'game', you can develop all kinds of very interesting ways to play, which will be beneficial to yourselves."

Some people are already on the verge of collapse: "You're trying to execute us in public! What do you take us for? Game animals?"

The announcing voice said coldly, "You can interpret it that way."

"Alters, originally, are the accidents of this world. What we get rid of are incompetent alters who can only cause some minor social unrest and trouble; what we leave behind are alters who desire freedom and have the ability to do so. We will educate and experiment with the latter in the third stage, and sign a contract to be used by the institution and society. This is the 'Alien Elimination and Streamlining Program'. After this battle, you will understand the value of freedom even more."

The announcing voice collected the coldness in his voice, and contained a courteous smile again: "In the end, there are only three survival spots. At that time, if more than three people survive, everyone will be uniformly injected with poison - drugs. Please, everyone, let's fight for freedom."

As soon as the announcement stopped, the man with the dirty dreadlocks, who was on the same bus as Xiaochi Chi and was the first to get off, violently cut his index finger with a rock.

He made a gun with his hand and gave the bad-tempered girl, Huan Ye, a trembling "pop".

In the next second, Huan Ye's head was burst into a rotten watermelon by a solidified, high-speed shot of blood.

The man with the dirty dreadlocks took a big breath and ran towards the corner of the wasteland without waiting for the others to come back to their senses.

Instantly, everyone scattered in the shape of birds and beasts, and all began to guard against the stranger at their sides.

Wei sixteen subconsciously to grab the closest to him, the weakest-looking "small glasses": "Hey, you to the side a little ......"

But he caught a blank.

He looked back and saw that " Anyi Bai" had disappeared at some point.

Wei XVI whistled playfully, and did not delay, turned around and ran in one direction, refusing to stay in this place that would fall into the Shura hell at any time.

As he ran, he thought, "Is Anyi Bai's psychic ability ...... instantaneous?

At this moment.

Xiaochi Chi is running deep and shallow in a forest fifty kilometers southeast of his starting point.

Name: Mobile Card (Intermediate)

Duration: Ready-to-use

Number of pieces: 1

Quality: Medium

Type: Single-use items

Required exchange points: 10 remorse value

Introduction: Shunde coconut double-skinned milk made from fresh buffalo milk, which can only be eaten by walking 50 kilometers southeast.

...... seems 009 writing this copy, may be doing tasks on behalf of other systems near Shunde, did not eat the famous local double-skinned milk, and therefore can not forget.

Xiaochi Chi used a teleportation card, which he had clutched in his hand, to move from the truck when the man with the dirty dreadlocks cut his finger.

The hot air full of watery smell like a substance, surging in his lungs, living as if it was into the water.

When he was bound by the bondage suit, he didn't have a great appreciation for Anyi Bai's crap skills, but running, he just felt like he was running in a swimming pool, heavy on his body, his arms and legs blocked, almost like running with dozens of sandbags on his back.

Seeing Xiaochi Chi running with panting, Ying Lou was also heartbroken and wanted to say something to make him feel relieved.

Is it the Qingguang Jiao, the watchdog who is behind all this, or the main god who transported him to this awful world line?

Ying Lou was racking her brain for an appropriate expression when she heard Xiaochi Chi curse simply and brutally, "Fuck you, a bunch of steel orphans."

...... Ying Lou felt that it would be difficult to surpass the precision of this sentence by cursing anything else, so he chose to keep his mouth shut and just concentrate on regulating his breathing for him.

However, the influence of the original master's powers is too powerful, it is impossible to analyze and manipulate in a short period of time, so Ying Lou can not help him, and the original master is a senior technology nerd, physical capacity is really limited, so not long after running, Xiaochi Chi stood at a small pool, holding his knees to catch his breath.

Ying Lou did not ask Xiaochi Chi why he had to run to such a place, and Xiaochi Chi did not say.

The two swallowed the unspoken words.

-- "I'll come to you."

-- "I knew that the you of this world would come to me."

After only a short time, Xiaochi Chi's clothes were sweating through.

He pulled the top half of his jumpsuit off, tied a knot around his waist with the sleeve, and checked the dial on his right wrist.

After panting for so long, his heartbeat was still at one hundred and twenty, and his eyes were black for a while.

He combed through his thoughts.

The difficulty with this world is that he is now stuck in a place where he can't break through and can't press on with the scum mission object.

Wanting the value of remorse, he could only find a way to be one of those three winners.

At the moment Xiaochi Chi doesn't have a clue, so he's going to look at the odds and calm down a bit.

Unsurprisingly, on the screen that clicked, his odds were currently ranked second to last, just above an eighteen year old girl.

Next to the big board of odds, there are actually small live chat screens with different languages scrolling colorfully and rapidly on them.

"It's on!!! Exciting!!!"

"This time is much more interesting than last time, it's straightforward to start killing."

"Last time, they were so fussy and shouted a bunch of slogans of love and peace, but what good is that? In the end, they were still polite on the surface and did it secretly?"

"The woman is dead?"

"Dead. Can't you see the odds data has been cleared? Too bad, quite a pretty female with a temper, I like it."

"Yo, number 17 caught up with number 21!"

"Fuck, which area which area?"

"You can't read it yourself. C1 area!"

It seems that in the eyes of these bigoted anti-alien watchers, they are just game characters and a bunch of digital codes that don't deserve to be called life at all.

Xiaochi Chi snickered and continued reading one by one.

He had planned to stay here and wait for Ying Lou of this world to come after him.

Among those people, unless there will be a dual skill of positioning + instantaneous movement, otherwise to immediately find him this soft persimmon pinch, it is not so easy to do.

It's not a bad idea to take a look at these comments while you're at it.

Maybe there will also be which loves to wrap the mess, revealing which participant's ability is what ......

As he was scrolling through the comments, Ying Lou suddenly called out to him, "Chi Xiao, back off."

Xiaochi Chi immediately obeyed, putting down his watch and taking a step backwards, "Hmm?"

Ying Lou's voice was rather odd: "...... look in the water."

Xiaochi Chi a stunned, look down, abruptly exploded a white hair sweat.

...... He stood at the water's edge, and Anyi Bai's shadow was reflected in the small pool.

And at that moment, something alive crawled out from the shadow of Anyi Bai.

To be precise, Anyi Bai's shadow, crawled out of the water.

...... more surprising is that this shadow, and Anyi Bai born exactly the same, wearing his old lab coat, a pair of spotless gold glasses, polite, polite, and Anyi Bai is the same beauty, but the temperament is very different from Anyi Bai, both Cold and gaudy, the look added a few smiles and non-smiles of coldness.

And this identical person to Anyi Bai just climbed on the shore, with a smile, and asked a single question: "...... you are not my little white boy. Who are you?"

...... Xiaochi Chi decided to retract his arrogant comment that the original owner was "bland and uninteresting".
