Chapter 303 Twisted.

In the live broadcast room.

“Brandon, that’s not you. That’s just a virtual image. You are the real one.”

Feeling a chill run down his spine, Du Jue had no choice but to try to calm the frenzied Brandon.

But the skeletal cyborg just covered his face in panic and fear, "No, no, no, I'm not Brandon! I can change my name! Not just my name, but my body and my memories too!"

Du Jue licked his dry lips, having never encountered anyone pleading with him like this before. "Brandon is your real name. It's time for you to step away from your work. Urban Girl is fake; it's just a code name, and I can change it anytime."

These words left Brandon frozen in place as if struck by lightning. "Du Jue... don't kill her. Kill me instead. Brandon is insignificant, but City Girl is very important."

"Completely wrong! Urban girls aren't important! You're the one who's important!"

Anxious, Du Jue squatted down and shook the other person's prosthetic body, "As long as real things still exist, fake things like urban girls can be recreated!"

Brandon shook his head frantically in refusal, "Don't talk about her like that! Everyone can testify that she really exists, and far more people know her than Brandon does!"

"Compared to an unknown rat, city dwellers would be happy and cry for her. Her lack of a physical form only makes her more perfect and flawless. How can I possibly keep you away from her?! Isn't that torture for me?! Can't I just do it willingly?!"

"Isn't it great if my mind is hardened? Even if it's painful or even makes life worse than death, so what?! As long as I'm willing to dedicate myself wholeheartedly now, I'll never have any complaints about becoming a city girl!"

Seemingly finding the method quite feasible, Brandon stood up happily, quickly picked up the leather case, and looked longingly at the Light Seed Cube in Du Jue's hand, "For City Girl, even if I'm in hell, I'll feel like I'm in heaven!"

Du Jue was utterly bewildered to see a cyborg so distraught, and he found it utterly absurd to watch Brandon desperately trying to put the suit back on.

He then said thoughtfully, "Sounds good. After you become the vessel for the urban girl, you can still guarantee absolute loyalty to me, and even make the live broadcast continue seamlessly. All you need to do is be a willing test subject."

"Yes! That's exactly right!"

Brandon was overjoyed. "Breaking off you before gave me a new life, and now I'm willing to accept this new life without any reservations. This is exactly what I wanted!"

"But I won't allow it!"

Enraged, Du Jue issued the order without hesitation, "Brandon, from now on you are transferred to the publicity department! All work related to live streaming is prohibited!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Brandon, like a child who had just heard a ghost story in his bedroom at night, pulled the leather cover over his head and did not respond or deny it at all.

He refused without showing any leniency, saying, "You're too emotional right now; it's not a good time to talk. I'll have Ootori arrange your follow-up work later. Voluntary action is never a reason to give up on yourself; that's not progress, it's jumping into a trap!"

The live broadcast room fell silent, save for Brandon's indistinct murmurs.

“Du Jue, did you hear her voice? This is my wish, and I am willing to give anything for it.”

"She is very gentle and listens to everything."

Is this delusions getting worse, even causing the urban girl to experience auditory hallucinations?

After a long delay, Du Jue finally made up his mind to reach out and lift the scabbard, only to be astonished to find that the skeletal robot beneath had transformed into a delicate and adorable urban girl. "Brandon?!"

The city girl just smiled mischievously, "You're clearly the best creator in the city, how come you even mispronounced my name? But it's okay, I forgive you!"

"Holy crap! Where did you get your wings?!"

Du Jue could only watch helplessly as the opponent's palm-sized elf wings flapped, and then the opponent fluttered around the live broadcast room like a butterfly.

This is not a prosthetic body at all!

"Ok?"

The city girl looked down at Du Jue with a puzzled expression, her eyes full of curiosity and confusion. "Didn't the creator hear that? Big sister's voice was gentle, but very clear. This is a gift from her!"

Stepping back, Du Jie's mind raced, and he immediately realized the key to the anomaly, his expression changing as he exclaimed, "It's the Seed of Light!"

As a psychic force based on Carmen, the Seeds of Light remain dominated by her consciousness even when scattered throughout the city, and can even communicate with those who resonate with her.

He then watched in bewilderment as the platform and cameras became more vibrant in color and sharper in line, and even the contrast between light and dark in the room became exaggerated.

The music in the corner of the room is now just a black screen, as simple and crude as an animated film, black and white.

"Let's call this concert 'Seed of Light'!"

The urban girl stretched out her hand and tilted it back, creating a flurry of flashing lights that immediately put the entire live-streaming room into operation.

The bright lights on the platform even plunged the surrounding area into darkness for a moment.

Oops!

Du Jue immediately received a call from Wei Ban.

"Boss! The live stream room is out of control, and the live stream base has lost control over it! I don't want to say anything more, but I hope you'll be more careful with the company's core business, because someone really might come knocking on our door because of this!"

Knowing he couldn't confront the enemy in real life, and with the enemy's intelligence unclear, it was too easy for the situation to spiral out of control. He quickly whispered, "Angela, it's time to get to work!"

library.

Technology layer.

Gabriel, examining the pages of the Crimson Night book in his hand, looked up at Du Jue, who had just been teleported in. "Looks like we need to entertain some troublesome guests."

Is live streaming really that appealing?

Angela looked at the huge light screen that the bookshelf had transformed into, puzzled. "And since she's willing to become the vessel, why not agree to it? It seems like no one is losing anything."

Du Jue didn't have time to explain, and quickly called to Gabriel, who was gathering people, "We can talk about other things later, we have to deal with her immediately! We can't let her actually do a live broadcast in front of so many people!"

"The technology layer is ready."

With his arms crossed, Gabriel stared at the urban elf on the light screen and couldn't help but think of the past. "I think that giving up myself and my life, even if it's voluntary, is extremely irrational."

Angela waved her hand to open a portal to the mirror world, then glanced at Gabriel. "You didn't think this way back at headquarters. It seems that Du Jue's suggestion can indeed change your mind."

"No, the two things are not comparable. I just think it's about avoiding consistency between knowledge and action."

Gabriel responded calmly, then hurriedly stepped into the mirror world.

The sky above this area was filled with countless searchlights, illuminating the entire region.

Upon entering the mirror world, Du Jue felt as if his eyes were about to be blinded, and a notification sound rang in his ears.

Angela: Absolutely not. You should have witnessed the resonance between Carly and that big sword at headquarters. That was the embodiment of personal consciousness.

Distortion and divine preparation are different forms of the embodiment of personal consciousness, and the Seed of Light will reduce the difficulty of both transformations.

Distortions are mostly caused by the unilateral overwhelm of one's own desires, which manifest in corresponding forms. It is difficult to retain the human form.

Divine equipment, on the other hand, is equipment that belongs only to oneself, based on the strength of one's mind.

The target of this recovery: Brandon has now become twisted and is extremely prone to connecting with reality.

In conclusion, please proceed with caution, as some of the distortions are as dangerous as anomalies, and neither the mirror world nor reality has any suppressors within headquarters.

Chapter 304 Brandon.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I have to perform now, no visitors please!"

The urban elf in front of me looks very casual and cute.

Gabriel merely glanced at her face, which bore a striking resemblance to Du Jue's, before loading the Blood Demon Book and calmly directing his employees to scatter and attack. "Du Jue, the target can fly. This is troublesome."

Du Jue kicked the floor speaker aside and shouted sternly, "Enough! Brandon! You're not a city girl!"

Click.

The searchlights immediately went out, and the world in the mirror seemed to fall into midnight.

"There's no need to say more about this; I've made my decision!"

He refused to draw the thorny spear, and his skin was covered in red scales.

The harsh words immediately caused the urban elf's smile to freeze in mid-air. She was the only luminous figure there, and upon closer inspection, one could see the sharp teeth revealed beneath her smile. "Brandon?...I don't understand."

Blood pump!

With a sudden burst of strength, focusing intently to avoid seizing any opportunity to distract the opponent, he decisively stepped forward and threw the spear with all his might, saying, "Then I'll say it again!"

Its incredible resilience allows it to move extremely fast, creating a swirling gust of wind.

Take it!

The urban elf instinctively tried to dodge, but the spear, which produced a fiery coat from friction with the air, instantly pierced her right wing, and the binding thorns of sin immediately caused her to fall.

"Brandon, I'm ordering you to stop the live stream now!"

With a slight tremor in his right arm, Du Jue took out the crusher and coldly said, "Otherwise, the company will remove Urban Girl from the list and establish a new image. That was just a replaceable signboard!"

What I'm removing at this moment isn't a role, but a soul that never existed.

The urban elf, who had fallen to the ground beside the thorns, suddenly burst into tears. Her sorrowful appearance reminded Du Jue of Kaji, who was lost and confused, unsure of where to go next.

His movements faltered for a moment because of this pity.

"Continue the attack!"

Gabriel's displeased voice made Du Jue frown and look over, immediately noticing that the employee closest to the urban fairy was holding up a dagger but hesitating to strike.

Pressure from his superiors forced him to grit his teeth and swing his weapon, but the slow movement resulted in his arm being bitten off.

The cheers were like honey poured onto the terracotta figurines, sweetly sealing away their breath.

The elf revealed a terrifyingly large mouth full of sharp teeth, then surprisingly reached out and hugged the employee with the missing arm. "Look at me carefully. How could I not be a city girl with such vibrant colors? My purpose here is to bring smiles to everyone!"

"Even if you look closely, no one can see me and be sad, which proves that I am a city girl!"

Forcibly ignoring the pity rising in her heart, Du Jue immediately realized that this must be a cognitive distortion. After all, half of the urban elf's face was stained red with blood, but the employees who approached her still smiled as if they had seen a rare treasure.

The meaning is that of a parasite, but the host is someone else's pupil.

"Gabriel, make them all step back!"

In an instant, Du Jue, who had crossed the battlefield, exhaled lightly, and white smoke immediately dissipated from his body, obscuring his vision.

Seeing this, Gabriel immediately stepped forward to provide support, shouting, "Everyone, keep your distance, and check each other's mental state in pairs!"

The somewhat chaotic scene was immediately stopped and stabilized.

However, a dazzling white light, so bright that it could be felt even with eyes closed, shot out from the white smoke, and even Du Jue, who was illuminated by it, felt his gaze being stolen.

It wasn't just a simple matter of perspective; all attention was involuntarily drawn to the indistinct figure in the fog, as if that was the sole purpose of their role as spectators.

When the spotlight goes out, even my shadow refuses to be my witness.

A cheerful and crisp voice rang out, "Du Jue, look! The audience and the urban girl are both indispensable. How can you bear to destroy this stage that gives meaning to each other?"

The urban fairy girl ran merrily out of the smoke, but her skin was old and wrinkled, and even her clothes were faded, only her blood remained bright red.

At this moment, all thoughts ceased, and all that remained was to gaze intently at the other person. "Brandon, the audience and the city girl may not exist, but you truly exist! Your existence itself needs no one else to give it meaning!"

Hardening - the smoke spiraled around his limbs, desperately resisting the attraction, his hands gripping the crusher, he saw Gabriel wink at him.

Phew!

A bloody slash forced the urban elf, who was enjoying the attention, back into the smoke. Gabriel, who was in pursuit, regretted that the book page could not fully restore the original owner's power, otherwise he could have directly beheaded the enemy.

However, he was not disappointed. Instead, he looked at Bai Yan expectantly, since Du Jue was always the most reliable one.

Bang!

Using the softened smoke generated by the smoke lantern to ignite the surrounding area, and avoiding the shockwaves of the explosions that send scales flying, the crusher is swept away wildly.

call! !

The frozen serrated teeth instantly bit through the heatwave and dust, slamming heavily into the urban elf's waist. The terrifying force snapped flesh and bone in an instant, sending her flying.

Chi Chi Chi!

The urban elves slid along the ground in two sections, the immense force leaving long, bloody drag marks on the ground. Their entire bodies were worn down, a truly pitiful sight.

"Hehehe, it's useless. Du Jue, aren't you only watching me because I'm a city girl?"

The urban elf girl suddenly raised her hand and got up, all her injuries healing instantly.

thump!

Five employees immediately fainted.

The urban fairy was no longer glamorous; she looked like a demon. "As long as someone is looking directly at me, how can I disappear? No one can hurt me, because they need to look directly at me before they can."

"Urban Girl doesn't mind. Please do whatever you want. As long as you keep looking at me, Urban Girl will be satisfied."

The urban fairy who reached out to fix her hair even gradually regained her youth and the colors of her clothes.

Upon hearing this, Gabriel immediately ordered everyone to stand by, then anxiously turned to Du Jue and asked, "According to the information provided by Angela, Twisted is unlikely to lie, because this is the moment when their true feelings are being revealed."
