"What did my parents do?"

Xu Zhe knew very well that he was just an ordinary paradise actor and would never attract the attention of the company. Then, the only one who caused the trouble was the parents who were engaged in scientific research. After all, Xia Xiaobing had said before that they were arrested.

The girl thought for a while and asked, "Do you know your parents' research field?"

Xu Zhe: "Those who study the brain."

Xia Xiaobing: "As far as I know, their latest achievements are related to memory blocking."

Xu Zhe: "Memory blocking?"

Xia Xiaobing solemnly said: "The current brain-computer interface can immerse players in the virtual world, allowing them to see, hear, and touch... in short, everything they feel is the electronic signal given to them by the paradise. But there is one thing that cannot be changed, that is, everyone always remembers that they are not a time traveler or brave man, but a player in the paradise."

Everyone always remembers that they are players.

So, what after the memory blocking?

Xu Zhe imagined it for a moment, couldn't help but take a deep breath, murmured: "If you can block your memory..."

Xia Xiaobing continued: "Yes, players forget that they are players, and they just think that they are really knights, magicians, and superheroes, and can completely devote themselves to the paradise. In the eyes of the senior management of the Vertical Company, this is the real paradise, a real immersive experience."

Xu Zhe frowned: "No, my parents are so powerful? Can they achieve such strong results?"

Xia Xiaobing: "Of course it's not that simple. Modern science is very complicated and the division of labor is very detailed. Your parents' work is just a small part of the big goal of 'memory blocking'. Of course, this work is very important, otherwise the vertical company would not send people to tie them up, and would also use AI to deal with you regularly."

Use ai to deal with it?

Every weekly video calls are all phantoms created by AI?

Xu Zhe fell into deep thought.

After a while of silence, he called his father for a video call.

Using ar glasses, there is no problem whether you watch or take a video, but you can’t take a selfie. Therefore, you usually need a bracelet with a camera or a fixed camera.

However, Xu Zhe did not wear a bracelet now, so he answered the video call. In this way, he could see the other party, but the other party could not see him.

The video shows Xu Guangyuan, his father. It seems that everything is as normal, and the background opposite is also a normal laboratory environment.

The father asked, "How are you doing recently?"

"It's okay," Xu Zhe said inadvertently, "Oh, by the way, I watched the game a few days ago. Your home team has achieved good results recently!"

"Haha, yes..."

"Wait a minute, the friend I made an appointment has arrived. If you have nothing urgent to do, I will talk to you again."

After saying that, Xu Zhe hung up the video.

Xia Xiaobing: "What did you mean just now?"

Xu Zhe: "My father is a loyal man in the arsenal. But that team just lost three consecutive times, and the banners urging the head coach to be dismissed were all hung up in the sky."

Xia Xiaobing: "So after you have finished verifying it, it is indeed a fake?"

Xu Zhe: "If it's true that my dad, he should have complained about the team's board of directors just now, saying something like 'I don't want to change the soup or the medicine, I don't want my face anymore'."

Xia Xiaobing: "Have you not noticed your father's abnormality before?"

Xu Zhe asked back: "Who cares about whether it's fake if his parents are fake all day long?"

Xia Xiaobing: "That's true..."

Xu Zhe said again: "They have been busy doing scientific research in the past two years, and they rarely talked to me. The last time my father complained about the arsenal was when they failed to compete for the fourth place in the league last year. At that time, they probably hadn't been kidnapped by vertical lines yet, right?"

Xia Xiaobing nodded.

The two continued to move forward and walked silently.

The evening breeze in autumn became cooler and cooler, while Xia Xiaobing looked a little thin in only wearing a sweatshirt and shorts. So while walking, her slightly slender body trembled slightly.

Xu Zhe suddenly took off his coat and draped it on the girl's body.

He said: "No matter what, I want to thank you today, although I know that your background is definitely not simple."

Xia Xiaobing smiled and wrapped her coat tightly - this dress is quite long for her, and can cover the part above her knees, at least to keep warm.

"Yes, I can know the whereabouts of your parents and dare to fight against giants like Huo Le. Of course, the background will not be too simple," Xia Xiaobing smiled. "In fact, the organization behind me is far stronger than you think."

Xu Zhe asked tentatively: "Is it bigger than the vertical line?"

Xia Xiaobing thought about it and frowned playfully: "That's hard to say, it depends on what angle it is to measure it."

Xu Zhe touched the tip of his nose: "Since the organization behind you is so powerful, what are you going to do in the future? You must not just do good deeds. How do you plan to use me after saving me?"

This was really straightforward, which made Xia Xiaobing laugh.

"Why can't I do good deeds?"

Xu Zhe shrugged and stared at her. The meaning in his eyes was clearly - everyone is not a child, be honest.

Xia Xiaobing curled her smile, thought for a while, and said, "To be honest, we are an organization that opposes paradise, so we cannot tolerate vertical companies to create memory blocking technology. This new technology can make players more addicted to paradise, like a mental poison."

Xu Zhe: "You can't tolerate it, so you want to destroy it?"

Xia Xiaobing said solemnly with a straight face: "We want to destroy the Vertical Company."

Xu Zhe's mouth twitched twice: "Are you crazy?"

Xia Xiaobing shook her head: "We are just more confident."

Xu Zhe stared at Xia Xiaobing's serious expression and fell into deep thought. He realized that no matter whether Xia Xiaobing and the organization behind him could succeed, he could at least help him. After all, he must have been targeted by the thugs of the vertical company at this time.

"But the person who pointed the gun at me just now..."

Xia Xiaobing guessed what he meant and narrowed his eyes: "There is no evidence to prove that they belong to the Vertical Company. There is no credibility, so you can't believe me completely."

Xu Zhe nodded.

Xia Xiaobing laughed: "Very good. The premise of cooperation is mutual trust. So let me show some evidence and make the next plan. Let's go to the company you work for to take a look."

Xu Zhe: "That small company?"

Xia Xiaobing: "I guess the acquisition should have been completed, we may find something interesting..."

So the two turned to Xu Zhe's workplace.

I used a shared tram to travel, and I stopped a lot of them on the street, and I could drive with a swipe of glasses. This thing is actually an electric body-sensing vehicle, with the main structure of two wheels and a handrail. When I stepped on it, I could control it with the handrail and the center of gravity.

This thing is more labor-saving than a bicycle, and is more convenient to park, and the technology is quite mature.

On the way to the office with a car, everything seemed to have not changed, and the street scene at night was still the same. But Xu Zhe understood that he would definitely not be able to go back to his daily life.

Just those black suits that can push their foreheads with guns are not something you can encounter in daily life.
