Night Hacker Chapter 14: Depersonalization
The fish pond at night was much more lively than during the day. It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that Fan Debao closed the glass door and put up the sign "Closed Business". When the last customer in the store left, the day's business officially ended.
The alley outside the store is still noisy, and the sound of people coming and going is still going on, this is a place that never sleeps.
"Sometimes, we do business late at night, the kind that we only do late at night."
While supervising Gu He to tidy up the bar, Fan Debao taught the rules here, "But I won't do it today."
Gu He immediately thought about it, late night business? Is it an illegal activity...
He entertained a lot of guests of all kinds today, and he has a better understanding of Liuguang City, Kabukicho District, and Juhui Street. The biggest feeling is this word: illegal.
The city seems to have law and order, but in reality, no one, from high to low, takes it seriously.
Gu He really felt sorry for himself. As a first-class citizen, he chatted with female clients and received red envelopes. How could he become a Yakuza?
But seeing Lao Fan's fierce appearance, he didn't dare to ask the other party about the Yakuza Gang. He should wait until the other party wants to talk before he listens.
Otherwise who knows if the "you know too much so I have to kill you" situation will happen?
"Clean up the bar, wash the dishes, go to bed early, and open the door at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
Fan Debao took off his apron, took off the head chef and changed back into the middle-aged sportswear, and said:
"I want to go to Licai's side, so I won't guard you. But don't say I didn't remind you, although there are no surveillance cameras in the store, I know exactly if you have fished or done bad things."
Gu He had noticed during the day that there was indeed no surveillance in the hall.
Ms. Sakai said, if there is a camera or something in a place like a fish pond, who will come to patronize it?
By the way, Ms. Sakai has not yet decided what kind of nose she wants, but she is determined to use it as a personal feature.
"Be careful." After Fan Debao said that, he went to the Licai Club.
Singing and dancing laughter came faintly through the metal door.
When the metal door closed, Gu He was the only one in the izakaya again.
This is a good opportunity to catch fish, but considering that those jobs still have to be done by yourself, and the limelight is very popular...
Gu He roughly cleaned the pots and cups in the kitchen, and then went back to the bar and sat down tiredly. He drank some goji berry water for himself, and prepared to take a breath before going to take a bath.
In the evening, Miss Caiyin brought some clothes for him to change into.
From the coat to the underwear, everything is new and in good taste.
Miss Caiyin is really kind to him, but as the saying goes, all the gifts given by fate...
Gu He's thoughts and eyes are a little distracted, the TV is off, the landline is silent, and the old antique computer in the kitchen, which he thinks, is very precious to Lao Fan. He has been strictly instructed not to touch it, it is the most beautiful Do not look too much.
He gradually stared at a ballpoint pen on the bar counter used to keep accounts, the house tree people test.
"It's not too late now, let's be a house tree person to find out!"
Is my head having an adventure, or is it crazy? Fang Shuren will somewhat project the truth.
Gu He got up to get the ballpoint pen, and tore a page from the waiter's notebook to make drawing paper.
Houses, trees, people.
Different shapes have different meanings. The most important thing to do in the projection test is to leave it to the subconscious mind to complete without thinking.
"The subconscious mind is here for you."
Holding the ballpoint pen in his hand, Gu He took deep breaths to relax himself.
He didn't look at the paper under his pen, but looked around aimlessly. The curtains were red, and the paintings on the walls were varied, including artistic words and religious symbols...
He also paid attention to the console in his mind, the current program progress bar is the second gear of indigo blue at 21%.
The page "Hero with a Thousand Faces" is in the database, and there is also a "Contact 1" for sharing.
The shop became more and more silent, with only the slight sound of brush strokes, and the sounds of the streets and alleys outside the shop became more and more clear.
The sound of electric current buzzing due to the failure of neon lights, the swaying sound of door curtains and lanterns being blown by the night wind, the sound of homeless people rummaging for food from the garbage dump and cursing stray cats, the unknown in dark corners Abnormal noise...
These sounds become flickering lights, like those disordered graphics, lines, images, and texts in the data sea.
It turned into lightning in the gloomy dark clouds again, flickering the entire city of streamer.
"I'm in a bad mood, the result of this house tree person will not be much better..."
Gu He's conscious mind could not help but activate, and the test was over.
Putting down the ballpoint pen, he withdrew his gaze and looked down at the drawing paper on the bar.
He stared, and accidentally knocked over the thermos cup next to him with trembling hands. The drawing paper was quickly soaked with wolfberry water, blurring the portrait on it, and the dim light in the hall added to the haze.
In the small drawing paper, a crumbling crooked house was drawn, and a figure stood in front of a dilapidated tree with deformed branches and leaves. It was a headless figure.
And on the chimney of the house, there is a vague human head hanging there.
"What the hell..." Gu He even felt that the miserable face that could see the head was himself.
Although I had already prepared that my mental state would not be very good, I still did not expect such a result...
Definitely self-perceived confusion...dissociative disorder.
Babble.
Suddenly, there was a sound of opening the door.
Gu He shuddered, followed the sound and looked towards the small passage, but there was no one, and neither the metal door nor the small fire door was opened.
Did you hear me wrong? He turned his head back in doubt, and was immediately dumbfounded.
A figure was sitting on the chair next to him. Through the dim light, Gu He could clearly see the face of this figure. The young man had a surprised expression. This is him, in his current shell.
He looked at the figure as if he was looking in a mirror.
"You..." He opened his lips, what the hell...
Hallucination? But in the reflection of the pooled water at the bar, there is also this figure. Is this also part of the illusion?
"You..." The man also moved his lips, with almost the same tone and almost the same movements.
Gu He got up abruptly and backed away in a swish; the man did the same, got up and backed away in a grotesque way.
While sweating all over his head, he suddenly noticed that the bones and muscles of this person's face were twisted unsteadily, and vaguely looked different. It seemed to be a woman, and he was vaguely familiar.
But he looks more real, and it is exactly what he looks like.
Is this a human or a ghost, or is it an illusion? It's a personality! ?
Gu He didn't dare to start it lightly, feeling that the other party was learning from him, imitating him, even the slightest every move.
"What are you?" He tried to stabilize his blood pressure.
"What are you?" The man also asked, his voice was only half a beat slower than his.
Gu He has quietly retreated to the edge of the sofa, it should be an illusion caused by his sub-personality...
She couldn't wait to be fed, jumped out of her subconscious to make troubles, learned from him, and devoured him.
Otherwise, this is haunted, there are ghosts in the fish pond!
Between picking up the thermos cup and fighting with the opponent or running away, Gu He decisively chose the latter.
Taking advantage of the other party's lack of time, he rushed out of the store, but suddenly remembered that he could not leave the fish pond at will, otherwise the consequences would be serious, so he turned his head in a hurry, and staggered to the metal door of the small aisle.
"Old Fan! Miss Caiyin! Help!"
He kept banging on the metal door anxiously, bang bang bang.
But on the other side of the metal door, music and dancing continued, as if no one could hear the movement here.
As the footsteps approached, Gu He watched the ghost approaching, and couldn't help screaming: "Don't come here..."
The ghost stopped in its tracks, with a look of panic on its face, and its waving hand seemed to be knocking on the door~IndoMTL.com~ Don't come here. "
……
"Will Miss Sakai scare Xiaohe into a fool?" Caiyin Kumiko asked Fan Debao worriedly.
The actor profession is a J-level program, "Mask", which can change the appearance and posture for a period of time by acting as another person.
One of its effects is to cause mental confusion to others, especially the imitated.
The purpose of the training in front of him is to improve Gu He's tolerance for fear and weirdness, so that his nerves can adapt.
"He should be glad that what he faced was only Sanju Sakai."
Fan Debao looked coldly, "Just such a lame, intermediate-level first-programmer with three-speed talent, who can't be mixed with ordinary or extraordinary, can only be used for testing and training newcomers, not for real.
"I said she was not good at the beginning, but she is a proof that your vision is wrong."
"Miss Sakai has worked very hard..." Cai Yin Kumiko sighed, "She is a bit timid and inferior, and I am also a native dog, I understand, but as long as I overcome this, I still believe that she has great potential. "
"Becoming an extraordinary person can't make her confident, how can she do it? Besides, hard work is the most useless trait in this world."
Fan Debao disliked Sakai Huaqing and Gu Helai:
"Look at that kid, he's almost collapsed from fright, he doesn't even have the guts and toughness, how can he be a doll? How can he cooperate with other people, those **** who are really troublesome and troublesome? Don't let them Playing to death?"
"Oh, I hope Xiaohe can pass this level of training, he is really a good person."
"Just pamper him. I'll see if one day, this kid will be chopped up by you."
"No, Xiaohe is different from a bat who needs to apologize with death, I don't think he will."
