An Induction Letter From Dr. HEED-《来自邪恶博士的入职邀请函》 (Patreon)

Welcome to the HEED Institute. Consider this your only warning:

from the moment you open this letter, you are no longer a citizen of this city. You are its collector.

欢迎来到 HEED 研究所。这是你唯一的一次警告:从你拆开这封信的这一刻起,你就不再是这座城市的市民了。你是它的收藏家。

You've seen the heroes, of course. Everyone has. The beast-kin elite of the Association, strutting down the streets in capes and certainty, saving civilians by the dozen. You've wondered how they do it. The answer is embarrassingly simple.

那些英雄,你当然见过。谁都见过。协会的兽人精英们披着斗篷、揣着笃定,在街上招摇过市,一天救下几十个平民。你一直好奇他们哪来的本事。答案简单得让人难为情。

In this city, stamina is power. Sexual stamina, to be precise. A hero's combat strength is measured in bed — and their duels are settled the same way. One finish, one loser. First to come, first to fall. That's the whole trick of it.

在这座城市里,体力就是力量。更准确地说,性能力就是力量。英雄的战力是在床上量出来的,决斗也是这么分出胜负的——先缴械的一方就是输家。谁先射,谁先倒。这套把戏的底牌,就这么点。

They never tell you that part. Heroes never do.

But you're not a hero. You're mine.

他们从来不会告诉你这些。英雄们从来不提。

可你不是英雄。你是我的人。

The Institute doesn't manufacture weapons. That's a waste of good steel. We manufacture collections. Every hero from A-rank to SSS — the pride of the Association, the idol of the masses — can be yours. Captured, broken in, rebuilt. Step one is the brainwash chamber; it strips out the justice, and trust me, they have a lot of it to strip. Step two is the taming floor, where their bodies learn new truths one session at a time. Resistance becomes obedience. Obedience becomes dependence. Dependence becomes... need.

研究所不造武器。那是糟蹋好钢。我们制造的叫收藏。从 A 级到 SSS 级,协会的每一个骄傲、大众的每一位偶像,都可以是你的。抓来,弄碎,重铸。第一步是洗脑舱,拆掉他们脑子里那些正义——放心,他们那玩意儿多得拆不完。第二步是调教室,让他们的身体一课一课学会新的真理。抗拒变成服从,服从变成依赖,依赖变成……离不开。

Team leaders kneel and call you master. Loyal partners sell out the Association for you. Their fall is gradual, and it's all on tape — every modification, every breakthrough. You'll want to rewatch them. Everyone does.

曾经的队长跪下来喊你主人。最忠诚的搭档为了你背叛整个协会。堕落是慢慢来的,而且全程有录像——每一次改造,每一次击穿,你都看得见。你会想反复回看的。人人都想。

The converted ones aren't just trophies, mind you. They fight. Every morning you redeploy the line — minions and converts alike: melee on the path, ranged on the high ground, waves breaking against your defense. But choose your battles like a scholar, not a butcher. Lose the line, and the Association drags you to their prison. Sentences. Ransoms. A rescue led by your most loyal convert. A bad end that isn't the end, but the beginning of a story you didn't plan.

先说清楚,转化完成的家伙不只是战利品。他们能打。每天清晨,把属下和转化英雄重新布阵:近战上路径,远程占高台,一波一波的敌人撞上你的防线。但部署要像个学者,别像个屠夫。防线一旦被撕开,协会就会把你拖进他们的监狱。刑期。赎金。你最忠心的转化英雄带队来劫狱。坏结局不是终点,是一段你没计划过的故事的开头。

And when the armor's off and the day's work is done — stream. Your tame heroes make fine streamers, by the way. You name the room, you pick the topic, and the audience and danmaku come alive all on their own. Just mind their stress and darkness meters. Feed them candy. Keep them company. Or don't. But push one over the edge, and they really will break. You'll learn to miss them. Then you'll learn to replace them.

等铠甲卸了、当天的活干完了——开直播。顺便一提,你驯好的英雄里出过不少好主播。房间名你定,话题你挑,观众和弹幕自己就活过来了。只是要看好他们的压力和阴暗值。喂糖。陪聊。或者,随你。但你要是把谁逼到崩溃,他们是真的会坏掉。你会学会想念他们。然后学会换掉他们。

That's the job. That's the Institute. That's what it means to be Dr. HEED.

Sincerely — and I mean that — welcome aboard.

Dr. HEED First of the name. One of the name.

这就是差事。这就是研究所。这就是 HEED 博士的意义。

此致——我是认真的——欢迎入伙。

HEED 博士 这个名字的开创者。也是这个名字之下的其中一员。
