Chapter 160
Mr. Luther's productivity has slowed down recently.
This matter has become the consensus of the entire Lex Group. The ordinary employees don't know what's wrong with their immediate boss, but the executives are very clear about what happened.
The reason is that no one will believe it when it is said.
Lex.Luther, the top rich man whose position on the Forbes wealth list has been rising year by year, is recognized by the world as the most promising young president, scientist, philanthropist, politician and conspiracy behind the scenes.
Recently, I have been addicted to games and cannot extricate myself.
-
Lex knew exactly what might be going on in the minds of his subordinates.
Of course, his attitude towards these people is also consistent.
Those people are mediocre, stupid and unaware, being used and controlled by the rules made by this society-whether it is resorted to in law or in the culture.
They have to make sure their energies are directed towards activities that are used to get more social resources, get more wealth, have more power, that's all they care about, their brains don't understand the higher levels mind.
Lex.Luthor has long since eliminated these low-level needs.
He devotes all his mind to the affairs he is interested in, and he does one thing out of hobbies.
He couldn't see the difference between what he was doing now, the so-called "gaming addiction" by outsiders, and the fact that he led and manipulated the Lex Group in the past to kill all directions in the business world.
-
There are still differences.
The game, the universe, and Carl in the game.al...
Much more interesting than anything he's done in the past.
-
Carl's time at home gradually equaled the time he went out, and Lex gradually got used to playing the game and putting the phone aside when Carl was not out.
There are more and more postcards preserved in the album, and more and more handwriting left by Karl.
He flies in a world that is almost entirely constructed by mechanical equipment. The sky is a huge dome, directly above is an artificial light source equipment, and countless artillery fires follow closely behind him.
Lex's heart tightened when he saw this picture, almost worried for Carl.
But the next postcard showed a huge primeval forest. Carl was sitting on a tree with his ankles hooked together. The female bird on one side is courteous.
On the back of this postcard, Karl wrote a small line.
"I wish I were your bird."
-
Lex has studied this game for a long time.
He doesn't trust anyone else, and all research is done by himself.
He tried to copy the game, but the game "doesn't exist" on his phone - it didn't leave any traces that could be captured, and Lex only found the postcards he had saved.
Those postcards lie quietly in the photo album of his mobile phone, each one is lifelike, as if it really exists.
This made Lex very unhappy, and extremely disturbed.
If a thing can appear quietly, it can leave quietly, no matter how much influence it has had in the past, no matter how much it has changed reality.
Where did this game come from and what is its purpose?Who was its maker, and why did it appear in his hand?
There are too many similar problems. Lex called the notebook and clearly listed his doubts and assumptions, as well as his experimental process and experimental results. his heart.
He felt confused and suffocated, and perhaps had some unspeakable pain.
-
"Good evening," he said this day, watching Carl, who was carving a city on the screen, "It's raining hard today. Mercy said the shareholders are very unhappy with my latest decision. But I don't care, because Lex The group’s shares have risen again.”
Then he fell silent, not knowing what else to say.
-
There's a greedy quality in people in general, and Lex knew he played it to perfection.
No matter how many things you get, no matter how many puzzles you solve.
He is never satisfied.
Seriously, this game isn't satisfying on its own.
He was waiting, always waiting, powerless about everything.He had to have infinite patience, he had to pay constant attention, and he got nothing—
There may be those who find it fun enough to be able to quietly and effortlessly raise a Tamagotchi, but Lex is definitely not one of those people.
He possesses, conquers, controls everything.
He has never encountered anything untouchable.
-
Ok.
Now he has.
And it made him grit his teeth and hate it.
-
But Lex was still playing the game anyway.
It's like a virus or a drug addiction, the will can't get rid of the excitement and pleasure it brings, as long as you don't pay attention to it for more than a certain period of time, the desire and anxiety will make Lex bad-tempered and unreasonable.
And what about Carl?He lives in the game peacefully, rests or travels, he doesn't know that there is a person outside the game who is tossing and turning for him, let alone the complicated feelings that another person has for him.
He's just a program, he's just a line of code, he's just an aesthetic.
Lex tried to convince himself that the occasional eye contact was just his fantasy, and the gentle smile Carl looked up at was just his illusion. Everything in the game was carefully arranged, so Carl gradually became more intimate, The vague sentences left on the back of the postcard, the sweet face of a lover...
No, they never existed.
-
One day Lex wondered: Is there an end to this game?
-
some.
Everything has an end.
-
The latest postcard shows Carl in his uniform, but the clothes are torn, the ends of the red cape jagged and bloodstained.
His blood... red as the sun.
No, his red cloak dimmed the sun, and his blood made the red cloak dim like gray smoke, so his blood is brighter than the sun.
He closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep peacefully, but also seemed to have died.
-
With blood-red pen and ink, he wrote on the back of the postcard:
"I will rest here forever."
-
That software is gone.
As Lex had guessed, it disappeared as quietly as it appeared.
Only those postcards remained. They lay in the depths of his mobile phone. Each one is full of color. The sky at night is also dotted with brilliant stars. In the depths of the gloomy jungle, there is also a beam of light leaking from the gaps in the leaves. .
Even if you just glanced over it in a hurry and couldn't see what was painted on it, their bright impressions still remained in the retina and brain.
-
pain?It's actually not that deep.
emptiness?It doesn't seem to be that serious.
……Lonely?
-
lonely.
Maybe, maybe not.
-
All Lex knew was that he had never gained anything, and of course he couldn't say he had lost anything.
However, despite this, even though this was the case, he still felt a little regretful.
-
Very... very sorry.
-
Lex restarted the space exploration plan that had been put on hold because of the sudden appearance of the game.
He built satellites, improved manned spaceships, worked non-stop, and constantly produced new research results. The entire Lex Group celebrated with joy, rejoicing at the Lex in their memory.Luther is back.
Only Mercy knew that was not the case.
Lex.Luther did not come back. On the contrary, his body was still on the earth, but his soul and his eyes left the earth forever, and went to that remote and unpredictable space, to the depths of the universe.
-
I don't know how many years have passed, and Lex flew into a strange star field in the spaceship he made.
The surrounding environment was no different from what he had seen in the past, planets, nebulae, gas masses and radiation.
However, he always had a strange premonition, as if he had seen this starry sky somewhere.
-
He opened up the dusty past.
He found those postcards he had saved.
I don't know how many years have passed, but they are still so bright and colorful.
-
Damn it.
He never forgets anything, Carl.Al, his friends, every planet and every starry sky he has been to.
But if... if the virtual starry sky in the game really exists, does it mean that Karl also exists, or at least existed?
Lex didn't know the answer, his heart was beating wildly, and he drove the spaceship close to the sun of this galaxy.
In the sunlight, he saw a still human statue.
Wearing a red cloak.
Seemingly aware of the approaching spaceship, he looked back.
-
red cape.
Humph.
Why is Karl always obsessed with this red cape?
