Disaster Artist

Chapter 12 Sensual Obsession
Bai Zhe opened the terminal and recorded the duration of the target's experience of the dream shadow.

The first time, about 2 minutes.

The second time, 3 minutes and 19 seconds.

The third time, 4 minutes and 11 seconds.

There are eight times in total, with an interval of less than 3 minutes between two times, and a total immersion time of more than 30 minutes.

He didn't expect that his former boss would be such a strong man, treating the contraband Mengying as an advertisement.

After spending a week familiarizing himself with shadow vision, Bai Zhe was able to understand some of the meanings of the changes in shadow shapes.

For example, the shadow will expand when mental activity intensifies, the rounded extended lines represent friendly contact, the curved tentacles represent desire, the spikes represent attack and destruction, the radiating curve represents joy and ecstasy, and so on.

In less than an hour, Gilbert experienced various complex and violent emotional changes repeatedly, and he experienced countless sensory shocks beyond the limit.

It was as if he was using his brain as a blender, shaking all the brain matter evenly.Bai Zhe felt that if ordinary people went through such a torment, they would be admitted to the hospital in one week, jailed in two weeks, and buried in the grave in three weeks.

After that, Gilbert was immersed in the dream shadow for almost two hours, a normal type of dream shadow.

Based on the changes in his shadow, Bai Zhe guessed that he had watched travel, food, horror, and pornography.

Apart from allowing him to conclude that the target was seriously addicted to Dream Shadow, there was no other effective information.

When he heard Gilbert's snoring, Bai Zhe took off his earphones and threw the garbage into the bucket.The only sleeping man left in the convenience store was probably preparing to spend the night in the store.

He walked to the side of the gate of the Babylon community, controlled the Eye of Dark Tide to leave the house, and swam down the dark side of the residential building, traveling smoothly in the large shadows at night.

After waiting for a few minutes, the little eyeball crawled back to his left arm, so hungry that he couldn't open his eyes.It seems that we have to go for midnight snack again today.

--------

The next day, the same time, the same place, the same way of committing the crime.

Bai Zhe sat in the convenience store, eavesdropping on Gilbert through the Eye of Kuroshio, while watching the advanced course of making Dream Shadow and taking notes.

What made him exclaim that it was unbelievable was that the old turtle watched the contraband dream shadow for a longer time today than yesterday. The brain circuit was really extraordinary.

During the process, Bai Zhe thought that the old man would faint during the experience, but the target became more and more excited and showed obvious morbidity.

After that, he was obsessed with dreams until almost midnight, and then Gilbert fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Day three.

The target brings a guest home.

According to the content of the conversation between the two, Gilbert wanted to enjoy high-priced services while watching colorful dream images.

Bai Zhe couldn't help but sigh that the old men in the city knew how to play.At the same time, it also shows that there are really many body parts that are targeted for prosthetics.

After the guests leave after get off work, Target’s nightlife has just begun.The target begins to experience contraband dream shadows again.

Good guy.He also thought that Old Turtle wanted to change projects today, but it turned out that he just changed the order.

After three days of eavesdropping and observation, Bai Zhe could conclude that Nelson Gilbert was a typical sensory obsessed person.

Many people believe that this is a disease, one of the symptoms related to cyber prosthetic transplantation, which manifests as a strong desire for various types of over-limit sensory stimulation.

Starting from the third generation of prostheses, the artificial neural circuits implanted in the prostheses can be connected with the body's own nerves, and the implanted person can obtain a variety of perceptions through the prostheses' sensory devices.

But this technique isn't perfect.

First, the electrical signals simulated by neural circuits cannot reach the level of the original version in terms of variety and detail, which will give the implanter a sense of falsehood over time.

Secondly, nerve connections will accelerate the aging of the human nervous system, reduce sensitivity, and lead to sensory dulling.

Gilbert, whose entire body has been extensively prosthetized, probably encountered this problem.In order to pursue strong and real sensory stimulation, his last choice was to directly stimulate the brain and inject other people's sensory memories directly into his own brain nerves.

Bai Zhe sighed.How can it be so easy to stay young forever?

He is a patient man.Calmness and patience are important qualities for a predator.

In the next three days, Bai Zhe changed the time and place of eavesdropping, and placed the Eye of Darkness in Gilbert's office, but still did not obtain particularly useful information.

The information he got included: As the owner of the studio, Gilbert hardly works during work hours; the actual profits of the studio are 30% higher than what the old bastard claimed; two more employees will have to leave next month, and the newly hired Temporary workers only pay 2500 per month.

Day seven, convenience store.

Bai Zhe was eating potato chips and watching rubbish online classes.

A class is 60 minutes long, with 5 minutes of commercials, 20 minutes of bragging, 25 minutes of selling lessons, 5 minutes of drinking water, and 5 minutes of practical information.

If there are no well-intentioned people to show you the way, watching this kind of class is a waste of life.

"Do you have any new goods there?"

Suddenly hearing the call, he cheered up, and the Black Tide Eyes swung its small tentacles excitedly.

His enhanced excellent hearing allowed him to hear clearly the voice on the other end of the call.

"Didn't you just buy the goods last month? I've been keeping an eye on them lately, and I don't have many new ones on hand."

He sounded like a man in his 40s or [-]s. He spoke forcefully and in a serious tone.

The first thing Bai Zhe thought of when buying a product was the original memory material. Gilbert should have his own channel to obtain the material.

"That means it's in stock. The little I bought before is not enough. Although it's good enough, it's too little."

The old man complained, not hiding the greed in his tone.How can we live our lives without producing something exciting?

"Well Malcolm the Ghoul, have you heard of it?"

"The scavenger who committed many crimes in the border area? That means the name should be scary. It's a bit boring to watch this kind of thing. It needs to be cheaper."

Catching this name, Bai Zhe immediately began to search for information about Malcolm.Scavenger, a serial murderer, was sentenced to death a few months ago.

The memory material of a death row prisoner?Things are starting to take an interesting turn.

"That's your problem. The prices given to you are fixed and I can't lower them. What kind of people do you want to buy? A thug, a rogue doctor, a fraudster?"

Gilbert was silent for a while before he said:

"I want a kestrel."

"Are you fucking crazy! I advise you to think clearly. Besides, Kestrel is already dead."

Bai Zhe didn't need to search for the name Kestrel, she was very famous.

Three weeks after the assassination of young Andre, members of the Meteorite organization code-named "Kestrel" sneaked into a banquet and assassinated Congressman Miyasaka Yoshinari again.

This fierce man shot more than a dozen people with imitation R-class weapon prostheses of unknown origin, and cut the congressman into pieces with a concussion knife.

The news said that she was subdued on the spot, arrested and imprisoned, and later died in prison due to mental illness.

Gilbert actually thought that the other party had Kestrel's memory material, which made Bai Zhe have many bold associations with his identity.

　I finally signed a contract today.This chapter is a bit late.
