I am the chief architect of "Painless Paradise" and also its first prey.
During the third anniversary celebration, the moment I pressed the global start button, the monitor screen exploded three times:
1. My father's brainwaves, stretched into a straight line.
2. The experimental monkey carved a complete star map of the Southern Cross on the wall of the cage.
3. The system log is automatically generated: "The Nirvana Protocol is activated. After 90 days, all human consciousness will be uploaded."
The source of the instruction is the name of my mentor.
On the way to escape, I pieced together the truth:
The so-called "elimination of pain" is actually making human beings into "antenna batteries" that broadcast pain signals to the universe;
The so-called "human sublimation" requires seven billion souls to be sacrificed to an "observer" from Europa.
The only weapon against this perfect system is the very thing it strives to delete——
Real, imperfect, rusty memories of pain.
Now, I am a globally wanted "logical threat", leading a group of bell keepers marked as "abnormal" by the system.
Deep in the heart of the seven continents, ring the bell that wakes up the world.
The test of each bell is an extreme form of pain: exploding, eternal, transparent, silent, growing, artificial... And my own.
Before the final battle, the mentor who had become a "god" gave me the final choice:
A. Join Ascension and live forever in the painless data paradise.
B. Resist to the end, let seven billion people endure real pain, and wake up in the ruins.
I touched the scar behind my ear where the terminal was torn off, and inserted six "painful keys" into my nerves.
"I choose C."
"Let those 'gods' observe us from beyond the stars..."
"Taste it too, what pain feels like."
Concept: Pain is not a defect, but the only evidence that we feel 'alive'.
