Ch.562The Secret of Disturbing Image Creation That I Never Wanted to Know.

While I was feeling dumbfounded reading those posts…

Jessica, who was handling various miscellaneous tasks as usual, came to report on our resource status when she suddenly asked me something she was curious about.

“Oh, right, Commander, there’s something I’ve been wondering about.”

“Hmm?”

“When you look at that ‘gallery’ thing, there are all sorts of images and videos posted, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right. They’re also used as elements for photoshopping.”

“But where do people get all those videos and images from?”

“Where do they get them from?”

And hearing that question, I too suddenly found myself wondering about something I hadn’t given much thought to before.

‘Come to think of it, that’s right. Where do they get all that stuff from?’

Having spent so much time moderating that gallery full of lunatics, I’d seen my fair share of disgusting images, adult content, and all sorts of other things.

But thinking about it now, I realized I had no idea where any of it actually came from.

‘Hmm, interesting.’

That’s exactly the thought that crossed my mind.

I reopened the gallery window that I had minimized while talking, and decided to find out where these “disturbing images” that kept popping up were coming from.

And apparently, I wasn’t the only one who had this thought.

By the way, there’s something I’m really curious about

Where the hell do these guys get such bizarre disturbing images from?

I mean, they probably didn’t make them themselves, but there must be some place they’re getting them from, right?

Comments:

-[I know, right?]

-[They keep posting weird stuff, damn it]

-[Aren’t they just using AI? That was popular when we were getting possessed too]

-˪[Is that so?](Author)

-[They seem too realistic to be AI-generated]

-˪[So you’ve seen them, huh?]

-[I’m curious too]

-˪[Not that I want to find and look at them myself, of course]

-˪[Tell the TRUTH!!!]

-˪[You DO want to see them!!!]

-[Are we somehow connected to the internet for real?]

-˪[Didn’t they say we’re completely disconnected from the internet of the world we used to live in?]

‘Wow, a lot of people are curious about this.’

As soon as I searched the gallery, I realized that many users shared the same question I had.

And somehow, I managed to find an answer to that question…

First, let me clarify something

We are completely disconnected from the internet we used to know

But how do those disgusting things we occasionally see in the gallery appear?

First, for 2D content, there are actually people who draw that stuff

And if you search through the base computers, there are plenty of AIs for that kind of thing, so some people just generate minor stuff using computers

But that’s not the important part

The important part is the 3D content…

These bastards are actually making it themselves

Sounds like bullshit?

No, it’s true

Don’t ask me how I found out

I wish I didn’t know either

Comments:

-[What the hell]

-[Is this that group chat or whatever?]

-[?????]

-[Something’s definitely up]

-[So the person who wrote this post is a disturbing image factory?]

-˪[I can’t believe you’d interpret it that way, I’m going to slap your balls, damn it](Author)

-˪[Look at the author getting startled and immediately rushing to reply~]

“…Are you kidding me?”

“Wow.”

How terrifying, frightening, and horrifying this story was.

So all those 3D gay, pedophilic, furry, gore, and scat content I had to see were actually real?

‘Holy moly guacamole’

And while normal users like me were still in shock from such revelations, new exposé posts started appearing one after another.

I can’t understand the psychos who film gore

But for the rest, well, as long as you manage them properly and maintain good rapport, it’s not really a problem

Comments:

-[Damn, wouldn’t Superhumans revolt at that level?]

-˪[With +200 rapport, they’ll happily shit themselves](Author)

-˪[“I, xx, will gladly shit myself with joy!”]

-˪[Stop it, damn it]

Title: Wouldn’t filming gore cause rapport to plummet?

Author: Anonymous

Regardless of preferences or whatever

There’s no way rapport would remain intact if you’re cutting off their limbs or displaying their organs

Wouldn’t other Superhumans revolt?

This isn’t some crappy game anymore where other Superhumans remain stoic with no rapport changes when you mess with one of them

Comments:

-[If rapport is over 200, Superhumans tend to just accept things as long as they’re not directly harmed]

-˪[It’s not about accepting things, it’s because they’re programmed to be loyal to the Commander;;;]

-˪[?]

-[This feels wrong;;]

Title: The funny thing is this is actually an improvement

In the past, when people captured other people’s Superhumans in battle, some would use them to film snuff films or NTR videos

Fortunately, those guys all got their heads bashed in, and after their bases were destroyed, they’ve all gone silent

Comments:

-[Huh, so what’s circulating now is all old stuff?]

-˪[Probably? I don’t know the details](Author)

-˪[Holy moly]

-[New production in that area is probably just a few people sharing in underground chat rooms]

-˪[How do you know that, bro?]

-˪[How the hell do you know that, damn it](Author)

-˪[Don’t misunderstand, it’s just that sometimes you see Superhumans in really bad condition on the trading market, suggesting they were used for such purposes]

-˪[Oh]

—————————————–

Besides stories like these, there were many other things being discussed.

Some users even picked up Superhumans from the trading market whose mental states had completely collapsed after being abused like that.

Then they would film what they called “redemption pure love” stories.

Posts like “I picked up a broken person from the trading market, nurtured them carefully, and they turned into a yandere obsessed with me” kept appearing.

“Well… I hate to say this, but the world still seems warm, Jessica.”

“It’s hard to call it warm when everything before was so shocking.”

“That’s true.”

My and Jessica’s mental SAN points were dropping exponentially, having been trained by the usual insanity from Griyanar and Betelgeuse, as well as the disturbing images in the gallery.

So Jessica and I decided to stop browsing the gallery for now.

“…Would you like a cup of coffee? You look like you need something warm to help your mind rest.”

“I think so too.”

As we discussed how the limits of human malice seem unfathomable…

We decided to take a tea break with cookies made by the chef, putting aside all work for a while.
