Disaster Artist

Chapter 9 Infatuation

“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth.
If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Please have mercy on me according to your lovingkindness, and blot out my transgressions according to your abundant mercy.Please wash away my sins and cleanse me from my sins. "

Ian lowered his head, prayed quietly in front of the holographic high-definition cross, and crossed himself on his chest.

"Our father in heaven"

He is actually a very traditional believer, but he has never exposed this to his colleagues and friends.

In an era where body parts can be replaced at will and consciousness can be replicated relying on technology, primitive faith has become an empty shell of illusion.

No matter how many times he prayed, there was no answer, and the heavy gaze falling on his back would not disappear.

Ian knew in his heart that he was not innocent.After being transferred to this detachment for nearly three months and going in and out of the prison dozens of times, he certainly didn't know anything about the business running in it.

He just selectively ignored it and deceived himself that the real situation was not that bad.He deliberately did not tear the surface and continued to press the button with peace of mind.

The personal terminal prompted him to receive an important notification.He was warned once for leaving early without reason, fined 500 in salary, and had his attendance bonus canceled this month.

Everything that just happened in the execution room is real.Ian took off his watch-type terminal and threw it aside, turned off the cross projection, and sat on the sofa pulling his hair.

He dared not resign for fear of losing his livelihood.He didn't dare to expose it for fear of losing his life.He didn't dare to continue doing evil because he was afraid of the unknown sight behind him.

After a long time, he put on the virtual helmet and found the dream shadow he watched last night.He decided to face the source of his fear.

Ian walked through the corridor of the art museum and followed the sound of the tide to the water curtain at the end of the corridor.

The movie character statues with different postures behind him now had different meanings in his eyes.

When a spectacular black tide of shadows rose in the water screen, and the pale eyes opened one by one, Ian felt that his gaze penetrated him like a spear.

He realized that this was his judgment and that this was the sanctuary where he would repent.

May your gaze pierce my back wrapped in steel, may your gaze cut off the thorns entangled between my bones and flesh, may your gaze wash away the sin flowing in my blood and soul.

Like a man possessed, Ian opened "Gaze" over and over again, silently repenting in Kalehin's eyes.

Amen.Amen.Amen.A—men! A----men!

He lost count of how many times he had passed through that corridor.Slowly, he no longer felt afraid of the existence in the dream shadow, only pure reverence remained.

My heart also calmed down, and the sense of sight behind me disappeared.

What Ian didn't notice was that a black eye with white pupils quietly opened in his shadow, then quickly closed and merged into the black shadow, disappearing like a tear in the rain.

--------

Bai Zhe looked at the latest comments received by "Gaze" and slowly typed a question mark.

[It is recommended to use this dream movie as a confession room to re-examine your own heart.It would be better if the duration could be increased to about 10 minutes.Thank you author]

Before, I just treated the dream shadow I worked so hard on as a whole job, so how can I still use it as a cyber confessional room?

He is really worried about the mental state of this commentator. Are you sure that it really doesn't matter to worship the unknown existence of Kalehin?

Bai Zhe didn't read the latest comments for no reason, and came up with all kinds of strange associations.

Just now, on the commissioning interface of the creative assistant, the obsession level suddenly changed from 0 to 1.It’s not like spreading bit by bit, jumping directly from the starting point to the end point.

Combined with this highly problematic comment, he had reason to suspect that this reviewer contributed to the obsession.Dissemination requires quantity, while fascination requires quality.

A talent who can use Mengying as a confessional is truly extraordinary in his obsession with his work.

[If you are under too much pressure, it is recommended to talk to a professional psychologist.It is risky to use Mengying to guide yourself]

He replied seriously.

Dream Shadow does have applications in the treatment of mental illness and religion, but he had never considered this use when he dreamed of Dream Shadow.

Bai Zhe rubbed his hands excitedly and opened the commission interface. The moment of harvest had arrived.

It had been less than two days since the release of "Gaze", and he had already fulfilled Callehen's commission, although not a step in the whole process was what he expected.

[Work: "Gaze" (Dream Shadow)

Communication degree: 7 (meeting the commission requirements)
Obsession level: 1 (meets commission requirements)
Reward for entrustment: Kalehin’s gift
Are you getting paid?whether】

Yes.

His intense curiosity made him unable to wait any longer.What exactly is the gift as a reward, and how will it be delivered to him?

Since accepting the commission that day, Bai Zhe has not had any form of contact with Kuroshio, so that he occasionally doubts the authenticity of it all.

[Commission completed]

The closed black eye icon on the interface slowly opened, revealing the familiar white pupils, and dark black liquid gushed out of the eyes.

Black tears flowed down the metal wall and rushed to Bai Zhe's left hand.

It streamed out of the projection screen and he distinctly heard the sound of water.

Bai Zhe's facial muscles twitched violently, and his outlook exploded.The impact of seeing something in a dream and having direct contact with it in reality are completely different.

During the half-second when he was in a state of shock, a pool of unknown liquid that looked like a black shadow or oil had flowed into his left hand and gathered at the forearm.

The black eyes on the commission interface slowly closed.A dark vertical pupil appeared on the skin of Bai Zhe's left arm, its luster was like a gem or a clear lake.

The vertical pupil, which is about the same size as a human eye, has a slit, and in the middle is a white porcelain pupil.

Kalehin's reward is one of His eyes.

The black vertical pupils were embedded little by little into his body, and Bai Zhe felt that it was slowly becoming a part of him.Gradually, some of its perceptions can be acquired, and it can be controlled intuitively.

The experience was both novel and profoundly incongruous.Anyone who has lived for more than 20 years and suddenly has a new organ will be uncoordinated.

Bai Zhe sat there with his eyes closed for a long time, until he felt that the fusion process was basically over and he could control the opening and closing of his vertical pupils by himself, then he opened his eyes again and experienced the changes in his body.

In his current situation, if he was discovered by the research institutions of major groups, it would definitely be considered a good death to be sliced ​​into pieces for study.

The most obvious feeling is the enhancement of hearing. He can clearly hear the program that the residents of 23 are watching on the 2704rd floor through several soundproof walls, and can hear the source of the small noise when the cooling fan is running.

The enhanced hearing is maintained even when the vertical pupils are closed, and will disappear unless he deliberately blocks it.

The degree of enhancement definitely exceeds the effect of Class D (daily use grade) ear prostheses, and is at least in the category of Class C (commercial/competition grade). It is not clear whether it can reach the Class R regulatory level.
