Chapter 2 The Absolutely Neutral Black Brahma
December 31, 2048 AD
Mo Tan dragged his exhausted body back home and watched blankly as several men moved a huge rectangular cardboard box into the living room, and then worked quickly with their hands and feet for half an hour.
During this process, he just sat quietly on his not-so-spacious sofa and watched the employees of this "innocent" company working diligently.
Their job is to assemble the first mental simulation product developed by the company - a dedicated game cabin for "Innocent Bound".
After the assembly was completed, Mo Tan politely sent away several sweaty masters, turned around and sat down on the expensive, large-area thing that had made him queue for a long time, and knocked unconsciously with his right hand. Hitting the shiny black hatch shell, a smile of unknown meaning appeared after a while.
It can be seen that Mo Tan is not a normal person. In fact, he is quite abnormal...
Multiple Personality, that is, patients with multiple personalities are a very rare existence in any era. There is no effective treatment. Moreover, because of the legendary nature of the symptoms themselves, they have been used as gimmicks and gimmicks in countless movies, novels and other artistic works. Selling point, usually as long as it's not too bad, it will sell well.
Everyone must have noticed at this point that the 21-year-old Mo Tan is such a patient with multiple personalities. The reason why he can still prepare to log into the latest virtual online game on the market at his own home instead of in a certain A mental hospital babbles in front of the mirror, mainly due to two points.
First: He judged the symptoms by himself. Through a large amount of information and his own situation as a reference, Mo Tan had already been confidently diagnosed when he was thirteen years old.
Second: He is very smart, so even if he suffers from such a special and difficult-to-control disease, Mo Tan still hides it well and is not noticed by anyone. As for how smart he is, you can refer to the previous article.
By the way, the information Mo Tan consulted was not the basic knowledge that we can search for just by turning on our mobile phones, but something controlled by some large medical institutions at home and abroad. In order to learn more about more cases in more detail, he even asked him more than once Hacked into the police station's shallow database.
Of course, he has yet to have a single arrest record.
All in all, it’s hard to put it into words~
Rather than giving a long introduction here, I prefer to slowly introduce his situation to you in the subsequent stories, so let us return to the story first...
【Want to try another way to live? Here you can feel your truest self! 】
Mo Tan repeated the text on the game hatch that was also the slogan of Innocence in his mind, and couldn't help but laugh to himself: "As a mentally ill person who is short of money and doesn't believe in deceit, what is my mentality? I just bought you back..."
He stood up, moved his body a little, and then murmured: "Then let's start the experiment now. If the official's previous remarks were not exaggerated, we will see the results as soon as we get started..."
After saying that, he opened the game cabin, but he did not lie down in it immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and began to take deep breaths.
After a while, unlike his previous temperament that always gave people a sense of unruliness, Mo Tan's demeanor became gentle and calm. The degree of change was so great that we could even notice it for the first time... This kid was probably split. .
In fact, this is also the case. Mo Tan's current personality has indeed changed, but this personality is a bit special. It can be said that it is the product of his own failure after giving up self-treatment (correctly), and it is also what he has been doing in most cases over the years. Used - the main personality.
Then he lay down in the game cabin, set the sleep time and wake-up time, adjusted the AI's voice to a calm and soothing female voice, and closed his eyes.
…
[Your spiritual connection has been detected and personal information is being synchronized...]
[The realm of innocence has been opened to you, and the character creation process is about to begin...]
After experiencing a short period of light sleep, Mo Tan found himself on a platform carved with countless patterns, surrounded by nothingness. Countless colorful and beautiful patterns flickered in the nothingness, just for a short time. Observing time, he discovered many familiar stars, vegetation, human outlines, as well as geometric formations, virtual images of alien beasts, etc. that he had never seen before...
"Well, the degree of realism is very high." After a little evaluation of the space and his own body feeling at this time, Mo Tan whispered to himself: "What I just said was 'the character creation process is about to begin', not 'please create Character', that is to say, it's pretty much what I expected..."
Before he finished speaking, nine light spots of different colors suddenly appeared in the void, followed by a non-harsh whistling sound that became louder and louder. When Mo Tan reacted, a circle that looked like everything had appeared around him. A very majestic towering gate.
"Huh?" Mo Tan, who didn't hear any system prompts, was stunned for a moment, then looked around and murmured: "Are you asking me to choose one myself? If so, what's the difference between it and taking the initiative to choose? ah?"
The reason why he said this is because he has seen four extremely obvious large characters engraved on each door, which also correspond to the different auras they exude...
Without any hesitation, he walked directly to the door closest to him. It was a dark red door, faintly exuding a thick black fog, like the entrance to hell, filled with bones and pools of blood on the left and right, and extremely cool. Door.
"Come on, let me build a character and try it out for 30,000 yuan, and then go offline and return it." Mo Tan murmured as he reached out his hand, only to find that his powerless push actually triggered a deafening roar. , and then... the door collapsed...
It feels like a guy who realized he was cornered and blew himself up because he couldn't bear the humiliation!
"Hey, hey, hey!" Mo Tan looked down at the miserable rubble, and said with twitching corners of his mouth: "That's too much... You don't want me to come in! Why don't you just close yourself tightly so that I can't push away? Okay, are you going to explode like this!? How annoying I am!"
Having said that, a smile appeared on his face. The scene just now did not make him feel unhappy or disappointed. On the contrary, if Mo Tan could push open the door with [Chaotic Evil] written on it at this time, The door, that would disappoint him.
Continuing to move, he came to another black and white door, and was about to reach out...
Boom! !
"Hello……"
Mo Tan rolled his eyes and stared at the door lying on the ground in front of him. He didn't know what to say, because just now this thing suddenly fell forward and tried to push him down.
This is a door filled with an unstable atmosphere, with [Chaotic Neutral] written on it.
"What a characterful camp~" After getting the answer he wanted, Mo Tan swung his arms and walked to a golden door with white patterns, and asked: "I don't think you will open it for me. ,Yes or no?"
The door engraved with [Lawful Good] moved slightly back, a subtle but polite expression of Mo Tan's ugly... er, polite rejection.
"Okay, I admit that this super unique DND (Dungeons and Dragons) rules attracted me." Mo Tan moved a few steps to the left, put his hand on the pure white door, and pushed it gently Opened it and walked in as expected.
After his figure disappeared, the door, which represented "Absolute Neutrality", slowly closed with a roar.
…
[Your camp is - absolutely neutral. This stance is never reversible. Start calculating your initial talents, races, and abilities]
In the darkness, Mo Tan heard the sound of the system again.
Still as he expected, there is such a message on the official website of the game Innocence, telling players that their initial camp will always follow their characters, and its specific role needs to be further explored by the players. explore……
As for what was not mentioned officially, race or talent were actually determined by the system, which somewhat surprised Mo Tan.
[After calculation, your initial character information is:]

[Note: What you see is just the tip of the iceberg]
"Okay~ One remark basically negates all the above content." Mo Tan, who didn't know where he was, closed the hyperlink with his consciousness and continued reading.
Civilization attributes: Eloquence 5, Charm 2, Knowledge 8, Leadership 0
"The reason for my high knowledge is that I know the DND rules, charm and leadership very well...Okay, I admit that I have no temperament." Although Mo Tan did not click on the hyperlink, this did not prevent him from making casual remarks.
Combat attributes: none
[Please name your character]
Mo Tan thought for a moment and said the two words "Black Brahma" because he knew that he, who spent most of his time acting as the main character, was not "Mo Tan" at all, so he chose the two words from his real name at will. In the first part, I modified the "fan" in the word "ordinary" and came up with such a name that is slightly self-deprecating.
[Character name: Hei Fan, please confirm. 】
The word "Hei Fan" appeared at the top of the character profile. After all, the system synchronized the player's thoughts, so there was no nonsense of having the same pronunciation but different words, but it still made another confirmation.
"No."
[Do you want to adjust your appearance? 】
The moment Mo Tan heard these words, he suddenly saw himself floating in mid-air wearing coarse cloth.
"No."
[Character creation completed, the absolutely neutral Hei Fan, welcome to the land of innocence]
…
The darkness faded away, and Mo Tan opened his eyes the moment he regained control of his body.
He found himself lying on a fairly spacious bed.
[Guide mission has been triggered——]
A small translucent window suddenly appeared in sight, and Mo Tan quickly read a line of small letters on the mission panel: Leave the Green Inn and join the Marshall Territory Autonomous Army.
Simple, clear and straightforward tasks.
Mo Tan climbed out of bed and found that he was wearing exactly the same clothes as when the system confirmed whether he wanted to adjust his appearance. Then he opened the equipment panel with his consciousness according to the tutorial he saw in the manual while queuing during the day.
There are fourteen equipment slots for characters in Innocence, namely head, shoulders, cloak, clothes, pants, shoes, wrist guards, gloves, main-hand weapon, off-hand weapon, rings (two), amulet and a special The equipment bar, except for the last one, is not much different from the usual mainstream games.
Mo Tan currently only has equipment in three slots: clothes, pants and shoes.
I won’t list the specific attributes. If I have to explain it in one sentence, it’s a linen suit with a total defense power of 3.
As for the character bar and skill bar, he also took a look at them. The former was the same as the initial one, while the latter had nothing at the moment.
Mo Tan did not leave the room immediately, because according to his experience, there should be some money to be made in this kind of place...
Finally, after three rounds of disappointment including searching under the bed, exploring the closet, and angrily lifting the carpet, Mo Tan finally found something behind the potted plant in the corner of the room.
[A pack of primary potions]
Weight: 0.5kg
Contains: one bottle each of primary healing potion, magic potion, and detoxification potion.
[Note: Why is it hidden in a place like this? 】
"I also want to know... why are you in this place..." Mo Tan packed the potion in his bag and left the room, panting. His rummaging for a while had consumed 30% of his physical energy. value.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a humanoid creature with a lizard head carrying an oak barrel and trotting past him. As he passed by, he didn't forget to turn back and give him an expression that was supposed to be a smile. : "How did you sleep, guest."
"Uh, okay~" Mo Tan raised his hand and responded, feeling that the NPC was quite humane, and then went downstairs to the hotel lobby.
The time here seems to be afternoon, but there are not many people on this floor except for a blond female elf sitting behind the counter and taking a nap.
Mo Tan thought for a while and decided to go forward and say hello first. But before he could get closer, the elf girl with a tired face suddenly twitched her ears twice, raised her head and said lazily to him: "You really got up on time. There should be no stalls at the recruitment office yet. Just turn left when you go out and keep walking. I wish you good luck."
"Ah?" Mo Tan was a little surprised. After all, he had already answered before he had a chance to ask.
"Ah what." The elf shook his ears and stretched out his slender index finger to scratch the corners of his eyes: "Didn't you say when you checked in at midnight last night that you planned to try your luck with the Autonomous Army in the afternoon?"
Mo Tan probably understood it now, and nodded slightly: "Thank you, I'm getting ready to leave."
"You're welcome~" The young proprietress of the Green Inn waved her hand: "You don't have to be so anxious. The recruitment will last for three days. It doesn't matter even if you don't make it on the first day. You can still stay here for another day. Late, of course, you have to pay extra~"
Mo Tan thanked him again, then turned and walked out of the hotel door. The air outside was fresh and dry, and the fragrance of the earth lifted his spirits.
"At least here you don't have to worry about losing blood due to air quality problems." Mo Tan sighed a little, as if the smog he had inhaled for the past twenty years had shortened his life by a few years in reality, and then he Stepping forward, I blended into the pale golden afterglow cast by the setting sun.
