Daydream Theatre - C30

The field of view was divided into two parts, the larger picture being assigned to some clips of “Machine Theater Accidents,” while we were squeezed into a small corner.

“Director, who should I look at? What should he say? “Do what?” I have no idea where the show is now. The director whispered in my ear, “It’s enough if you just look at Miss White and the others. Mr Eloi and the others still have something to say. As the editing moves forward, I’ll tell you what you’re going to say. ”

I nodded and continued to look at the mother and daughter who were at a loss on what to do. They were obviously very nervous and were hugging each other tightly now. “Ah, Miss White, it’s alright. You can continue with today’s activities.

Jiang Xiaowei didn’t want to enter the field of vision of my sunglasses, so she pushed me from the back. “Our situation is very urgent …”

I turned around and followed the director’s instructions to tell the audience about the current situation. According to our information, Moloch’s’ Robot Theater ‘started a new live broadcast three hours ago. Now that the person standing in front of everyone is the manager of the Miss Tomoko, Miss Jiang Xiaowei, I have some information that I want to ask you about. ”

“Huh?” She was a little surprised that I would do this, “Big… Hello, everyone. I am Jiang Xiaowei, Moro’s manager. ”

“Un, Miss Xiaowei, we are also currently broadcasting the editing of the content of your program, can you please introduce your program?”

“This …” “The stars of the ‘Robot Theater’ are all Bionic Human. They mimic what humans think and think and produce different kinds of dramas in the theater, which are chosen by the audience.”

“I heard that the theater’s mode has changed?”

“In order to better involve the audience, we set up a show in which five friends will be chosen to enter the theater.”

“How does one get in?”

“It’s not really coming to the scene, because it’s dangerous after all.”

“Oh? Is it simply to avoid danger? ”

She didn’t understand what I meant: “Each participant can choose one of their favorite robots for direct operation.”

“What does direct operation mean?”

“It means that participants can use their consciousness to control the robots they choose.”

“Oh, yes, like amputees manipulating mechanical parts through brain waves.”

“And there won’t be any delay.”

“So what are we going to do with these robots?”

“I will participate in the theater performance together with the Miss Tomoko.”

“Understood. The participant’s’ avatar ‘and Tomoko will act together, right?”

“It can be said that way, but in reality, it’s not an act. Rather, it’s an adventure.”

“Adventure?”

“Mm, it can be said to be completing a mission that is risky.”

“Such as?”

“In today’s episode, Miss Tomoko will act as the fallen princess who wants to take back her lost territory, and the five participants will act as the heroic knights who stand by her side. They will have to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy, and only the bravest knight will be able to win the princess’ heart. ”

“Haha, such a good storyline. I suppose this is what you call the danger? ”

“Yep, the enemy will also be played by Moloch’s robot, the robot chosen by the participants will have different weapons to fight against it.”

“So the participants need a machine double.”

“That’s right, the last survivor will be able to live together with the Miss Tomoko for one day.”

“Wow, this is such a great benefit!” I feigned amazement. “Do robots have lethal weapons?”

“Of course, we will do our best to restore the authenticity of the story. “Since this is a brutal fight for the throne, then all the dangers are real.”

“However, the original bodies of the participants are not dangerous.”

“If you are ‘killed’ by the enemy, then the participants will be eliminated from the competition.”

“But isn’t this dangerous for the Miss Tomoko? She is a princess who wanted to take back the lost land in the plot, a thorn in the side of the enemy. ”

“We have also thought of this, so all enemies are not allowed to attack the Miss Tomoko.” she explained.

“Haha, interesting,” I said as I saw the editing screen at the side start to activate. “So to say, today’s mission is for the five substitute robots to protect Princess Tomoko from the evil dragons that fill the sky?”

“It can be compared to this.” Jiang Xiaowei’s forehead was already drenched in sweat, obviously she was annoyed by my endless questions, “Mr Latimer …”

“Dear audience, I believe everyone has understood the plot of this episode of the Robot Theater. Then, please take a look …” I was just repeating the director’s words, “Please watch the scene of this tragic scene!”

In the picture, the Miss Tomoko acted as the host to start the conversation, “Faithful members of the ‘Robot Theater’, a new round of adventure is about to begin. We have also chosen five lucky participants this time around. May I ask if you are all online? ”

Five different voices rang out, some sounded young, some sounded old, and what surprised me was that there was even a female voice among them – but that was nothing, after all, a perfect human figure like Tomoko, even if it was sex, it would still adore.

“In accordance with the usual practice, next I ask all of you to choose the robot avatar you like.”

The place the Miss Tomoko stood appeared to be a forest, the towering trees and criss-crossing rivers surrounded the robots. And the robots looked strange and different. Some of them looked like a crushed truck, while some of them were light and light with a pair of wings on their back. Some of them looked no different from a human, but they held guns in their hands.

“Every robot has different characteristics,” Tomoko explained. “This means that they have different advantages and disadvantages. It was a little slow, even though it was incredibly strong. It looked weak and fragile, but it moved like it was running away from a rabbit. The weapons in their hands were also different, including the oldest cold weapons, ammunition loading and even the most advanced laser weapons. However, in order to maintain a balance, the number of times advanced weapons were used was limited and there was no backup. Please select your robot avatar to take a step forward and come to my side. ”

Five anonymous contestants quickly selected their avatars. In a simple description, there was a giant with a sledgehammer, a flame-breathing winged man, a gunner with six hands (he had six guns, of course), a multi-part snake-shaped robot (I couldn’t tell what its weapon was), and a… “Very ordinary humanoid robots, but armed with a dangerous beam weapon.

“Alright, everyone has made their decision. Do you all understand the mission this time? ”

“Hur hur, I’ve always been waiting for such an opportunity!” The winged person flew in the air and called out, while spitting flames, “I can protect my beautiful Princess Tomoko.”

“Of course I understand,” Giant’s voice shook the surrounding trees, “Although the rebel army has taken over the kingdom, today I will turn their wishful thinking into ashes!”

“No matter how many people there are,” Six-Hands was reloading, and since he had six guns, I estimated he would have to be there for a while. “I have six hands, six directions, and six bangs.

“Everyone, don’t talk so easily,” the snake-shaped robot said while crawling on the ground. From time to time, it split into little snakes, and those little snakes constantly merged into the big snakes. It seems like the participants are gradually familiarizing themselves with this system of existence.

Finally it was the human’s turn to say something, but he didn’t seem to want to say anything. “Can we begin?”

“Of course, since everyone is ready …” Miss Tomoko looked around. There were still a lot of robots around, but they did not participate in the battle. They were just intelligent “cameras” that moved closer to each other.

“Thank you for your help!” Miss Tomoko was immediately immersed in the play, as she spoke, she bent down and panted, “We have already run for a few kilometers, the Roy rebel army won’t be chasing us anymore, right?”

So the rebel army was called Roy … I think this can be blamed on the Mr Eloi being unhappy.

“Who cares what Roy Luo, as long as I am here, I will smash them into pieces with my hammer!” The giant obviously wanted to be the vanguard, so he pointed ahead and asked, “Is Moro Castle in that direction?”

“Yes, but… Mr. Giant, we just escaped from the castle, are we going to walk right into a trap? ” The Miss Tomoko revealed a terrified expression.

“Don’t be afraid, Miss Tomoko. We, the Five Great Heroes, will definitely help you regain your throne!” The six-handed player had finished loading the bullets.

“Of course!” The winged man seemed to be used to flying, as he flew higher and higher. “Leave this matter to us, today is the day of Roy’s rebellion!”

When the Snake-People stood up, all the little snakes had returned to their positions. “Miss Tomoko, please be at ease. Furthermore, the Roy rebel army would never think that we would dare to return to Moro Castle after dodging an attack. From my point of view, the protection of the castle is empty right now, this is a great opportunity for us! ”

“Heroes, I, Tomoko, will thank you first! If we can take back the lost land and kill off Roy’s head, I will … ” I think she would say, “I’ll give you my life.” This would also fit the seemingly random plot, but before she could say anything, a deafening sound suddenly rang out, and everyone saw a towering tree fall towards the five of them.

Of course, nothing would happen to the Miss Tomoko, because the so-called “Roy Rebel” could not be used to attack Tomoko.

This is such a funny story… But I’m afraid no one cares. What people care about is not logic, but the robot itself, which is not a woman, but a woman.

“Is it the Roy rebel army?” The giant swung his hammer and instantly sent the tree flying.

At this time, the rebel soldiers who had been lying in wait for a while had appeared in the forest one after another. The one in the lead seemed to be that Roy, “Hmph, Your Highness Tomoko, why don’t you come back with us?

“What did you say?” The giant obviously wanted to show off in front of Tomoko and be the first to attempt a one-hit victory. However, countless robots suddenly appeared around Roy, some of them even had bodies no weaker than giants. The moment the giant saw this, he immediately stopped his charge.

“With just you?” Roy let out a giggle, “Are you here to die?”

The next moment, the entire sky seemed to be shrouded by dark clouds, turning pitch black. Originally, countless enemy winged men were circling around in the sky, and these five clones looked like a plate of food for Roy, the difference in numbers was too obvious!

“Miss Jiang, how did you guys set this mission’s difficulty level?” The director told me to ask.

“Of course it can’t be too difficult. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good if no one could complete the mission.”

“But now, it seems that Roy’s rebel army has more people.”

“Look carefully, they only have a large number of people.”

“I can see now that their weapons are very backward.”

“Yes, participants have much more powerful weapons.”

“Then, does this mean …” There was another holographic sphere outside projecting a live broadcast, which allowed everyone present to see it, “The purpose of today’s mission is actually not to escort Princess Tomoko home, but rather … but to let the participants go on a killing spree? ”

She did not know how to react. “A massacre?”

“That’s right, this is just like how modern humans fight against primitive man. Even though there are many primitive man, but all we need is one nuclear bomb and the entire area will be razed to the ground.”

“The difference isn’t that great …”

“Please answer my question, Miss Jiang. Is this task amplifying the murderous nature of men? Did it provide a ‘safe’ platform for people’s desire to destroy to the greatest extent? Is it because these enemies are lifeless robots that humans can start killing? ” I’m beginning to understand what the director is trying to do.

As expected of the orders of the Mr Eloi, he seemed to want to use this point to discredit the Robot Theater.

“I don’t understand what you mean …”

I went on to say, “I mean, the next time the substitutes of the participants go to battle, they will experience the pleasure of destruction, killing, and bloodlust, so isn’t the purpose of your program to restore and amplify the animal nature of humanity? Was it not to attract the attention of the world through these costly hunts? Does it mean that all the achievements of civilization that man has made so far are nothing but hypocrisy and fragility, and that man will eventually return to the natural nature of murder and self-interest? Do you think so, Miss Jiang? ”

She seemed to feel the world spinning around her, as she leaned against the wall, “You… “You …”

I started to pity her, but my job was to serve Eloi Company, so I continued to put pressure on her: “Is Bionic Human that was formed from flesh and blood not a human? Wasn’t manipulating a killing machine from a thousand miles away considered a murder? Answer me, Mr. Jiang! So, if there comes a day when people begin a true battle of slaughter and blood flows like rivers just for some ridiculous reason, your Moloch Company would be happy to broadcast it, right?! “
