Crow's Paradise

On the barren land, strange-shaped plants intertwined and grew between the ruins. Together with the dilapidated buildings, they held up the gray moon in the sky in this quiet night.

On the east side of the mainland, among the ruin-like high-rise buildings, there is a building that is intact and brand-new, which looks very abrupt.

And in a certain room in this building.

A middle-aged man was sitting in a bathtub-like mechanical device filled with liquid, taking off the helmet-like thing from his head.

After taking off the helmet, he looked at the helmet in his hand and couldn't help but muttered:

"Nightmare Drama."

An imaginary game that uses materials from various myths, histories, legends, and literary works.

He still remembers the scene in the promotional video.

There are no humans, but there are various strange races that look like humans.

There is a mechanism city shaped like Datong society, surrounded and protected by iron and wood walls, with various mechanism beasts and Yanshi who can operate the mechanism, and the body can be combined with the mechanism.

There is the Utopia-style kingdom of heaven held up by white stones, the tall "Justice" city, the city of sculpture-like stone figures, and the fortress city-states built by huge stone giants.

There are utopian, beautiful islands sinking into the vast sea, and an underwater kingdom composed of countless half-fish, half-human creatures.

There is a Sun City-style island in the sky, a city in the sky surrounded by dragon-men who can breathe fire and soar with their wings.

There is also the city of the Order located in the extremely cold land of the south, surrounded by countless angels condensed by ice, and so on.

To be honest, he has seen too many mythical and fantasy-themed games.

After all, myths, history, legends, and literary works are the easiest and best material libraries for creators to find.

But it combines the utopian and fantasy elements of the visionaries.

absurd? anger?

But in the end it could only turn into a helpless sigh.

It has to be said that "entertainment" is indeed a good tool for dispelling seriousness and misinterpreting content.

Do you have to sacrifice seriousness if you click on broadcast?

It was also called Nightmare Drama.

If it were in the past, it would definitely be controlled, no matter which country it was in.

But that was before, not now.

The middle-aged man sighed, put down the gaming helmet he was holding in his right hand, and after taking a look at the intubation on his body, he skillfully took the medicine bottle from the hands of the two men in white coats in front of him with his left hand, and poured it into the bottle. Take the pills out and hand them back.

While swallowing the pills with water, his mind was racing with thoughts——

His name is Yao Yan.

About a few decades ago, war broke out all over the world.

Yao Yan, who was just an ordinary young man at the time, didn't know the specific reason. It seemed that a small island country attacked the nuclear power plants of various big countries after contaminating its own nuclear facilities. Then the big countries retaliated with nuclear weapons. Some countries with nuclear weapons It even dropped nuclear weapons on neighboring countries.

He didn't know exactly what it was like.

After all, he was still a young man at the time. After being rescued by the disaster relief team, he had not been out much.

The destruction of war and nuclear pollution have spread around the world, and humans, animals and plants around the world have been affected by radiation.

Since then, the world has ushered in an era of collapse of civilization.

Oh, no, it’s just the collapse of human civilization.

The physical manifestation is the collapse of genes.

The collapse of genes has caused various mutant diseases to appear in humans.

Should I say it's a good thing or a bad thing?

After the disaster that spread all over the world, capital did not disappear. On the contrary, because people could not go out, precision equipment could not withstand the effects of nuclear radiation.

Network-related technologies have experienced rapid development again since then. Virtual reality technology, which was originally a science fiction fantasy decades ago, has developed into reality.

The realization of virtual reality games has also caused a global craze.

Oh, the gaming craze in the doomsday wasteland.

The era has arrived when you can enter the world of virtual reality games at home with a game console or a game helmet.

Unfortunately.

He probably won't be able to play for much longer.

Yao Yan sighed in his heart.

After all, he was going to die.

However, maybe it can be considered lucky? After decades, "gene repair agents" appeared.

After the collapse, research institutions in different countries were studying pharmaceuticals that could avoid or eliminate the effects of nuclear radiation, and even repair the collapse of human genes.

Under normal circumstances, he might not even have a chance to use it.

But, as a guinea pig, a guinea pig on the verge of death, he got his chance.

Opportunity to volunteer as a drug trial.

However, he didn't know if it would be useful.

But he doesn't regret it either.

The reason he is now is just because he is terminally ill. If he were to be treated as a living horse doctor, he might end up in a coffin tomorrow.

Glancing at the two white coats next to him, he asked aloud:

"Just like last time, swallow it and go to sleep?"

He always felt that there was something wrong with the appearance of the pills this time.

"Yes."

To the left of his medical life-saving chamber, which was produced by the same company as the virtual game life-saving chamber, a man in a white coat responded briefly.

The man in the white coat on the right didn't make a sound, but the way he stared at him closely reminded Yao Yan of something. Previously, a volunteer secretly intercepted pills and tried to take them out.

Without this idea, he couldn't do anything, so he drank the water, swallowed the pills decisively, put on his helmet amidst the rapid onset of fatigue, and lay down in the life-support cabin.

【Choose a game】

[Luxury resort island], [Real noble life], [Unruly world], [Crows paradise], [Nightmare game], [Sleep concert].

Each game icon interface appears with the swipe bar.

Yao Yan skipped the first two 18-ban adult games that he was tired of playing. The third one was a violent game called Law of the Jungle. He was tired of playing and killing people all day long. The sleeping concert was a way to help him. Hypnosis concert for patients who are in so much pain that they cannot sleep properly.

Without looking at the more than a hundred game options densely arranged behind him, Yao Yan hesitated for a moment between Crows Paradise and Nightmare Game when facing the menu screen that appeared in front of him, and then chose Nightmare Game.

Crowland and several other games are indeed pretty good, but he doesn't have much time before going to bed. Nightmare games are story-based dungeon streaming games like group running, Werewolf, and scripted killing from decades ago. More suitable for the current situation.

After thinking for a while, he chose the nightmare game.

Watching all this, the two men in white coats silently covered the lid of the life-saving cabin and left the room. When the door with excellent sound insulation effect was closed, they exhaled as if they were relieved:

"It went pretty well."

"Where do these genetic repair agents come from?"

"I don't know either. Who would have thought that these Collapsers who used genetic repair agents would have supernatural abilities."

"Things of unknown origin are okay. It can be confirmed that their abilities are related to the brain and are closely related to consciousness and spirit. As long as they fall asleep, there will be no problem."

"I hope so, but I also want supernatural powers."

"Hey, who wouldn't want it? However, only those who have reached more than half of their genetic collapse will develop supernatural abilities after using genetic repair agents."

"However, there are many people who die with less than half of their genes destroyed. There are not many people who can live for such a long time with more than half of their genes destroyed."

"Is this person confirmed to have supernatural powers?"

"It has not been confirmed yet, and the ability to perform has not been observed, but judging from other cases, it should happen."

"Judging from the summary of data from various medical stations, the supernatural abilities produced are related to the three views and ideologies of the collapsed people, as well as the images of some cultural works that impressed them."

"The news recorded by a medical station is represented by images from myths or various cultural works, but the actual ability and the three views and ideologies that match their impressions are the actual core."

"This is a current direction of speculation."

"No, I heard that it has something to do with impressions. It's not necessarily their own views and ideologies, but because they have the deepest impression on them."

"Indeed, this is another direction of speculation, but we can't see specific research data."

"Yeah, those of us responsible for processing don't have access to such high-level information."

"Perhaps these messages are also used to frustrate us?"

"Tsk, it's possible, but forget it, don't say it, otherwise we will be in danger."

"Yes, with the social turmoil at this level, who would have thought that a few decades ago, everyone would still talk about the global village being one family?"

"What are you thinking about? Just be careful and don't get killed by radiation."

The two men in white coats were talking while walking out of the somewhat shabby room filled with various precision instruments.

In the room, Yao Yan, lying in the life-support cabin, fell into a trance.

It was as if I had fallen into a long dream.

a long time.

One hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years?

have no idea.

Yao Yan, who was hazy in consciousness, did not have the ability to accurately calculate time, nor did he have the method to vaguely calculate how much time had passed. In this way, in the hazy dream state, his consciousness gradually sank.

However, he could also vaguely and hazily feel the fact that he was gradually weakening.

He seemed to be dying.

"I will die, I probably won't survive."

"What will happen after death?"

"The ancient Egyptian view of life was that the soul would return to the body and be resurrected."

"The ancient Indian view of life is that after death, one is reincarnated into cubs or even dead creatures of various creatures."

"And the early Celestial Dynasty seemed to be based on the theory of transformation and rebirth. Like Jingwei, they turned directly into birds after death."

"What kind of bird would I turn into if it were me?"

"Yao Yan, I will probably be a crow. Yao Yan, rumors, crow, is a good match."

"But here comes the question. According to the theory of metamorphosis, if a bird dies, will it turn into a human again?"

In a trance-like sleep where it was difficult to form a clear consciousness, his unconsciousness mechanically and randomly arranged words one by one, causing him to mutter in his sleep.

ps: The last sentence is correct. The unconscious here is a noun, not an adjective or adverb.

Not "unconsciously", "unconsciously", "unconsciously", "subconsciously", "unconsciously"

Drinking water, water homework, water video, good water, water in it is not a concept, noun, noun, action, and predicate.
