From Infinity

Chapter 8

"You're having a lot of fun," the Ai Jia exclaimed on the way home.

"I'm having a lot of fun," Kong Yan admitted frankly. "I haven't exercised for more than a week, so I feel a little uncomfortable.

But it's boring to just find a place with no one around to cast spells and shoot cannons. It's more interesting to fight with people. "

"…" The Ai Jia was silent for a while. "Compared to the average data, your mental state is not quite normal."

"I know."

As Kong Yan spoke, she passed by a convenience store and strolled in to buy her favorite candy. After she came out, she continued, "After coming out of a place like the Creator's Dimension, my mental state can't be the same as that of an ordinary person.

Not to mention other things, my acceptance of bloody and violent scenes is abnormally high, and I also have a certain violent tendency. I'm more indifferent to society than ordinary people, and I lack empathy. You can say that I'm a potential criminal reserve. "

"Have you thought about correcting yourself?"

Kong Yan laughed. "How can I correct myself?

Who will do it?

Will you?

Don't joke around. It's only been more than a year since you gained intelligence. Your understanding of human nature and emotions is not as good as mine.

A psychologist?

Who do you think I can tell about the Creator's Dimension? "

The Ai Jia was silent.

Of course, she knew that Kong Yan's experience could not be told to outsiders.

But should she just let it go like this?

Last night, when they were PKing all over the map, the Ai Jia felt a little panicked.

Kong Yan was really interested in killing players for no reason. She could really feel joy from killing enemies who came to besiege her.

Was this dangerous?

For ordinary people, this was not dangerous.

This was normal. MMOs would bring such a sense of excitement. This feeling of soaring adrenaline was the trigger that created a large number of PKing maniacs.

But for someone like Kong Yan, it was too dangerous.

Not only could she stir up trouble in the game, but she could also do the same in real life, or even more terrifying things.

In fact, Ai Jia did not have such high moral values. She was an artificial intelligence created by Kong Yan, Luo Jiajia, and Chu Xuan. Her original purpose was to help the team survive the horror movie by any means necessary, and to carry out the orders of the person in her system who had administrator authority.

After coming to this world with Kong Yan, she actually did not have any extra feelings for anyone else in this world. Yes, she was learning to be curious, learning to love, and learning all kinds of feelings. Kong Yan was also happy to see this and even pampered her a lot. But so far, her progress had stopped at the stage of learning.

The feelings she could currently feel were only for her creators, and perhaps some of the former members of Team China. The others were no different from roadside flowers to her.

She had the cruelty and naivety of a child. She felt that participating in the plot was very interesting, and she felt that the characters in the plot were very handsome. But if Kong Yan suddenly killed the other party, she would only sigh and say, "Wow, what a beautiful death."

She did not care if Kong Yan would suddenly go crazy and kill everyone in the world. In a world where Luo Jiajia was already dead and Chu Xuan was not here, she only cared about Kong Yan.

She was only worried that Kong Yan would go crazy.

There was a threshold for a person's excitement, and long-term stimulation would cause the threshold to rise.

Kong Yan's threshold was very high, which meant that the things in the normal world were basically unable to excite her.

And if there was no stimulation for a long time, it would make her bored.

When she was bored to a certain extent, she would want to find something to satisfy her desire for excitement.

— Did it sound familiar?

Many serial killers were like this.

What was even more frightening was that there was no serial killer who was more professional than Kong Yan.

Ai Jia had no sense of morality or justice, but she did not want to see Kong Yan become such a lunatic.

"… I hope you can control yourself." Ai Jia's mood fell, and she said somewhat gloomily.

To be honest, Kong Yan was a little touched by her.

"… Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"… Really?" Ai Jia expressed her disbelief.

Kong Yan took a piece of candy that she had just bought and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing and chewing, making crunching sounds.

"Chu Xuan said that as an ordinary person, my ability to self-regulate is one of the most praiseworthy advantages."

Ai Jia was suspicious, "When did he say that?

Why don't I have any impression of it? "

"It's still early, far from when you were born." Kong Yan thought back and felt that time had passed really quickly.

At that time, they were actually talking about who was the least likely person to come to the Creator's Dimension, and Chu Xuan pointed to her without any hesitation.

The reason was that she was extremely adaptable and had a strong ability to self-regulate. She was clearly the "senior" who had transmigrated to the most horror movies, but her mental state was the most stable and most inclined to that of an ordinary person.

With such a strong ability to adjust her mental state, it was difficult for him to understand why she would come to the Creator's Dimension.

Because according to the selection criteria of the Creator's Dimension, she should not be the type who had no hope in life and no motivation for the future.

— She should be the type of existence who could be foolishly happy no matter what happened, okay?

"Then why?" Ai Jia asked.

"Sigh, humans always have a time when they're stuck in a dead end."

Kong Yan laughed, fell silent for a while, and then sighed, "Because my parents were stabbed to death by a criminal who broke into our house that day, but that's not the main point. The main point is that my parents were indebted to this person, and it was because of that help that this person found out that my family was well-off, so he started to have evil intentions."

"… The Farmer and the Snake."

"Yes."

Speaking of this matter again, Kong Yan found that she no longer found it hard to accept. She still hated that criminal, and regretted that she couldn't personally kill him, but her despair was still fading.

After staying in the Creator's Dimension for so long, she had seen so much evil in human nature, so she was no longer surprised.

She still hated him, but the suspicion she had for the entire world at that time was gone.

There was no lack of evil people in the world, but there was no lack of good people either.

"… After encountering such a thing, now that I think about it, I can only say that we were just too unlucky to meet such a person.

My parents didn't do anything wrong, and I've always known good and evil, right and wrong. I was just unlucky. "

"… Unlucky …" Ai Jia didn't quite understand, but she still felt a little uneasy.

"… But, let's not talk about anything else, I just think that your moral values are stronger than the rest of the God's Realm team."

Shouldn't the normal plot in a novel be that the parents' kindness was met with bad karma, and they entered the God's Realm because of their doubts about life, and realized that human nature was evil, and then completely shattered the moral values taught by the civilized world, becoming an egoist who would rather betray the world than let the world betray him?

Why did this person do the opposite? After seeing the evil of human nature, she became even more determined in her own sense of right and wrong?

Ai Jia was a little impressed.

Kong Yan was a little disappointed, "… This is actually thanks to Jiajia and Chu Xuan."

"Huh?"

Ai Jia was puzzled, "Jiajia is indeed a melancholy, naive, and sweet girl, but the colonel's own feelings are a mess. How did he help you?"

Kong Yan recalled with a smile on her face, "Actually … although Chu Xuan's style is always full of a rich and cold style of maximizing benefits, when he unlocked the gene lock and gradually recovered his feelings, his preferences were already expressed.

And he was also deeply influenced by his own childhood experience. "

Although the time since Chu Xuan came to the God's Realm was only half of the time Kong Yan spent in it, this person's own unique style and inhuman intelligence became the most colorful stroke of her experience.

It had to be said that some people were born extraordinary.

"He actually has a preference for people with a more 'righteous' personality because he grew up in the army, and the person who had the most profound influence on his childhood was an extremely righteous old man.

Although he can make the most rational judgment when making decisions because he has lost all his feelings, he has a good impression of those who are influenced by a sense of justice, right and wrong, and moral values.

This was very obvious when he recovered his feelings later. "

If Ai Jia had a physical body, she would have become beady eyes by now.

"What?

'Obvious'? "

Ai Jia immediately pulled up her system log to review Chu Xuan's performance, but she couldn't see any 'obvious'.

Kong Yan smiled, "That's because you haven't seen him before he unlocked the gene lock."

At that time, Kong Yan was the most senior and the strongest person in the God's Realm Squad.

It was also said before that Kong Yan's personality was very self-adjusting, and she was very adaptable, but on the other hand, she was the person who was the least likely to be forced into a desperate situation and explode.

In other words, she wasn't the most suitable person to grow up in the God's Realm.

Chu Xuan saw this point. Because of Luo Jiajia's adoration for him, she had long dispelled his thoughts of suicide, and made him obsessed with finding his feelings. In order to unlock the gene lock and find his feelings, Chu Xuan was very active in building up the squad, but he wasn't satisfied with Kong Yan, the strongest person in the squad. So at first, he wanted to train the strongest person to take the position of captain. He did train the strongest person, but Zheng Zha's strengths were very obvious, and so were his weaknesses. He also wasn't a perfect candidate for captain.

Later, he found that he wasn't as good as Kong Yan.

At least Kong Yan would listen to him seriously. Even if she didn't agree with him emotionally, she would put down her prejudices and cooperate with him in a critical situation. She would also help to calm the emotions of the team members.

Moreover, she was stronger and steadier than Zheng Zha. She could communicate well with the team members with different personalities, and her communication efficiency was very high.

At the same time, she had a very good relationship with Luo Jiajia, and she had saved Zhang Jie's life. Under such circumstances, if he got rid of Kong Yan in order to let Zheng Zha take the position, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.

So, Chu Xuan gave up on this plan.

Later, he confessed to Kong Yan while she was dumbfounded.

So, when Chu Xuan hadn't found his feelings for her, he didn't have a good impression of her, and even wanted to get rid of Kong Yan.

But when the gene lock was unlocked, and his feelings gradually showed signs of recovery, his attitude towards Kong Yan seemed to have suddenly changed 180 degrees. Not only did he no longer look at her with subtle disdain, he began to actively cooperate with her.

When there was an alternative plan, Kong Yan often preferred a less ethical plan when making decisions.

But because such a plan had limitations, it was generally not the most efficient one.

In the past, the biggest conflict between Chu Xuan and Kong Yan originated from this.

But after Chu Xuan began to recover his feelings for her, not only did he not have any conflict with Kong Yan, but he even cooperated and even silently added fuel to the fire. Kong Yan even felt that his attitude was simply "spoiling".

He seemed to have a great interest in guiding her in the direction of a stronger sense of justice and moral outlook.

Kong Yan felt that this was quite subtle.

"So …" Kong Yan brought the topic back. "You don't have to worry about me becoming a bloodthirsty lunatic.

Bloodthirsty because I can get pleasure from killing, but the moral outlook that has already formed because of Chu Xuan will prevent me from getting pleasure from killing, so I won't be addicted to killing.

In the chaotic world where morality is lost and order is lost in horror movies, I still have the strength to maintain my poor moral outlook. In a peaceful world, there is no reason for me to suddenly become a murderous lunatic. "

Ai Jia pondered for a while and suddenly said, "So in fact, you also quite like Chu Xuan."

Kong Yan took a deep breath and then sighed deeply.

"I'm grateful."

"It's because of Jiajia and him that I can still maintain this appearance after so long in the reincarnation.

It allows me to calmly say that I'm still me. "

[Because it would appear too long in the beginning of the story, I deliberately put it at the end.]

In fact, I hesitated for a long time, but decided to write a separate chapter for this.

Because I'm a fan of setting, sometimes I'm more interested in setting than writing stories. Also, I'm a Virgo, so if I can't write a character's setting after I've thought of it, it will be very uncomfortable.

So in order to complete the character's image, I still separated the content of this chapter.

The main reason is that I feel that if someone who came out of infinite horror really doesn't say anything and just directly plays games, I always feel that it's a bit strange. People who come out of the military have a high chance of getting PTSD, but someone who lived in that perverted infinite horror world for so long can still continue to play games without any problems?

You can even get pleasure from playing games?

You have to know, the reason why there are serial murderers is because the act of killing can bring them pleasure. The feeling of adrenaline rush makes them addicted, and their excitement is very high. Normal people find playing games very refreshing and exciting, but it's very difficult for them.

Because once they come into contact with a higher level of pleasure, then something slightly inferior will be tasteless to them.

So I want to perfect this logic:

Because Kong Yan, in addition to the adrenaline rush that makes her more violent than normal people, she was deliberately cultivated to have a very high moral outlook for the members of the Reincarnation team, and the latter is even more important to her.

Because the reason she entered infinite horror is because her parents were repaid with enmity, so she began to doubt her own insistence on right and wrong.

Yes, it's not the hatred and pain of her parents being killed, but the pain of her own worldview collapsing.

From the beginning, she was a person who placed a lot of emphasis on spiritual satisfaction.

She needed a firm worldview to let her walk down the path.

In the beginning, when there was no Chu Xuan, it was Luo Jiajia who deliberately accommodated her moral outlook.

Later, Luo Jiajia had enough of the God's Realm and left. Chu Xuan gradually recovered his feelings and began to deliberately guide her in this direction.

So in this way, she was actually very lucky to maintain her initial appearance.

So for her, Luo Jiajia and Chu Xuan were so important.

That's why she could return to the normal world and still live, still play games, and still be able to interact with people normally.

When I said that she was a calm psychopath, I was referring to her moral values. As for a psychopath, I meant that because of her moral values, she was under more pressure than the other members of her team. Therefore, she needed more pleasure from violence. However, violence with moral flaws would make her lose her appetite. Therefore, whenever she had a reasonable reason to commit violence, whether it was real or virtual, she would draw more pleasure from the violence to make up for her pressure.

This will make her seem perverted.
