R.E.P.O.的整体背景故事概述（至少是已有的背景故事），以及对剧情的大致推测。大部分（如果不是全部）证据都是我发现的。很可能存在严重错误。这是一份非常长的指南，你可能需要找个舒服的姿势阅读。 简介 你（可能）在某个时候玩过R.E.P.O.，并且在某个时候你（可能）会自言自语： “我想知道这款游戏有没有背景故事。这款到处都是死人与骷髅、废弃建筑、用表情符号表达情感的智能AI、拥有明显重力操控能力的机器、充满背景故事的实体，以及简直像魔法一样的游戏，肯定有背景故事吧？对吧？” 答案是：是的，显然有。你在想什么呢？这篇文章的标题就叫“背景故事概述”。拜托。不管怎样。总之，本指南主要是我对游戏中各种可能与背景故事相关的怪物、物品和概念的一些讨论和吐槽。内容会很长，你可能得准备点爆米花。真的，非常长。如果你只想了解完整故事，可以直接跳到最后一章，但这样你会错过指南中所有有趣的部分。看到右侧这么多章节时，可别太惊讶。

另外，如果你需要证据证明我的攻略是顶尖的，这里有ChatGPT引用我的攻略并将其作为可靠信息来源（且注明了出处）。这足以证明我的研究有多么正确。在理论撰写者中，我如同神明一般。 地点 这款游戏并未明确设定在某个特定的国家或地区（这是谎言，详见本节末尾），但根据当前更新，其场景大致分布在5个地点： 村长庄园

海德曼庄园位于一片松树林中。庄园几乎100%归海德曼实体或海德曼家族（显然包括海德曼实体）所有。这一点可以通过你在其中一个房间里找到的一块墓碑来证明，墓碑上刻有海德曼的面容（除了图像外没有其他明确细节，比如死亡日期或原因）以及庄园的名字。这也证实了海德曼已死亡，并且是某种幻影或幽灵，这一点其实从他是一个漂浮的头颅且眼睛发光这一事实中就已经相当明显了。 SWIFTBROOM ACADEMY

迅捷扫帚学院再次出现在一片松树林中，或许就在村长庄园附近。这里似乎是学习魔法物品的地方，比如法杖、药剂以及拥有超凡能力的神器。偶尔能在墙上看到“是校长”的字样。这位校长很可能就是村长那家伙。考虑到他作为灵体能运用魔法维持实体形态，而且他确实只有一个脑袋（校长，哈哈），我想不出还能是谁。此外，这也能解释村长庄园里为何偶尔会出现闹鬼物品或魔法物品（比如那些被诅咒的娃娃）：他在家练习自己的法术。迅捷扫帚学院的旗帜上有一顶女巫帽，暗示着女巫概念的存在。建筑后方还有一间小屋，显然，除了小屋本身的存在外，它没有任何实际的背景故事意义。此外，这里还有一个树屋。 MCJANNEK STATION

因为我懒得找图片，就用《虚空低语》里的这张卫星照片代替吧。顺便说一句，这是款很棒的游戏，恐怖至极。言归正传，麦詹内克站几乎可以肯定位于丹麦（并非其他证据显示的格陵兰岛：详见注释），建筑物周围悬挂的多面丹麦国旗可为此提供佐证。该站几乎完全被积雪环绕，其前任 crew 使用推雪车在室外活动（车库可证明这一点）。建筑物周围的各种冰冻化石表明，该站可能用于考古研究。楼下有一层，玻璃后面是岩浆，这暗示它可能用于监测热温度或火山学研究。这里可能还有更多内容我没有完全分析，但我现在累了，之后再处理。

（注：在桌上发现的麦詹尼克站标志下方写有“GREENLAND”，这表明该站点要么建于格陵兰岛，要么其建筑制造商源自格陵兰岛。虽然周边地区看起来像格陵兰岛，但我认为它更有可能建在丹麦，因为卡车必须以某种方式抵达那里。你无法从丹麦一路开车到格陵兰岛，毕竟格陵兰岛实际上是一座岛屿。因此，我认为麦詹尼克站是与丹麦政府（稍后你会看到这一点）以及一家位于格陵兰岛（其标志为一只热带鸟类）的建筑公司合作建造的，但实际建于丹麦。）有人说它可能在格陵兰岛，卡车只是乘船出海，但你也可以看看卡车窗外，显然你仍在公路上。） 服务区

服务站是一座加油站，第三次出现在松树林中，似乎被仓促改造成了半机械人（Semibots）的购物区域（从未清理的人类遗骸和整体的不洁环境可以看出）。这可能是因为收税人（Taxman）需要半机械人能够升级并提升整体实力的场所，于是将该地区各处废弃的加油站改造成自己所需的样子，而非亲自建造商店区域。 处理区

处理区显然是某种垃圾场，税务官会把工作失职的故障半机械人送到这里。这个垃圾场地下有一个巨大的房间，故障半机械人在那里生死搏斗，考虑到整个过程效率低下，这很可能是为了供税务官取乐。半机械人死后，其残骸可能会被运回地面，堆积成巨大的半机械人尸堆。目前尚不清楚税务官为何不将这些尸体回收再利用以获取材料。 结论 由于超过半数的地点都有松树，因此可以合理推测，装载半机械人的卡车只在特定区域（有大量松树的区域）行驶，前往一小群用于贵重物品提取流程的建筑。根据旗帜判断，麦詹内克车站所在的这片区域可能是丹麦的一个小地方。我曾亲自去过丹麦，可以确定那里的大部分地区都有松树。因此，结论是这款游戏的故事很可能发生在丹麦。不过，目前并没有确凿的证据，开发者或许只是觉得松树能增添恐怖氛围。但我有70%的把握认为游戏背景设定在丹麦，所以请相信我的判断。了解游戏的发生地点往往是挖掘故事的良好开端。 注：虽然这可能不算什么有力证据，但丹麦确实存在丰富的女巫传说。这或许与迅捷扫帚学院中出现的女巫帽旗帜有关联。 实体 那些实体。天啊，那些实体。这些东西充满了背景故事，我都不知道从何说起。由于这部分内容很长，我打算把它拆分成多个小节，每个小节包含几个实体。做好准备吧，褪色者。 注：当你击杀一个实体时，它们会掉落类似能量球的东西，可以卖钱。游戏对这些东西的描述非常模糊，但我猜这些能量球就相当于实体的灵魂。这也不足为奇：毕竟游戏里有鬼魂、魔法、大量的人类变异，要说灵魂球是唯一不存在的东西，我可不信。 实体第一节：头目、长袍、 apex predator 头目

可能的起源点：头领庄园，迅捷扫帚学院 头领无疑是背景故事最丰富的存在，因此我先来说说他。他是一个古老的浮空头颅，很可能是迅捷扫帚学院的校长。他或许拥有头领庄园，这表明他可能极其富有。他已经死亡，头领庄园里的墓碑便是证明，他可能依靠自身的魔法能力维持着存在。他的头颅与颅骨极为相似，可见这一灵体年代久远。我猜测他会出现在麦詹内克（McJannek）的原因，可能是他曾资助过那里，或是类似的情况。强光会让他焦躁不安。从他无休止地在走廊游荡并磨牙的行为来看，他可能已丧失了大部分神智。从他能怪异地张大嘴巴这一点来看，他似乎也变得有些不像人类了。

真恶心。而且，这张图是我偷来的。 总而言之，这个“头领”是个鬼魂（以前是一所著名魔法学院的富有的校长），随着岁月流逝，他那空灵不朽的头颅形态变得越来越兽性和疯狂。他已经无法说话，只会发出原始的呼噜声和呻吟声，并吃掉任何闯入他家的人。真是个可悲的家伙。 ---- 长袍

可能的起源点：未知。也许是庄园？迅捷扫帚？ 啊，杰弗里。至少，我和朋友们都这么叫它。这家伙可能是游戏里最怪异、最恐怖的生物了，它移动时完全悄无声息，让我感到极度不适。我朝它扔了三（三！）颗手榴弹，它毫发无损，直到我扔出第四颗才倒下。可即便我杀了它，大约四分钟后它又回来了，吓得我魂飞魄散（然后把我杀了）。它外形是一个穿着长袍的类人生物，本该是小腿的位置却是长着四指的利爪。另外，它也可能是“她”，因为它发出声音时像是痛苦的女性叫声。不过我还是会叫它“他”，因为它的名字是杰弗里。

看看那胜利的微笑！ 起初，我以为这家伙是人类：也许是某个戴着面具的连环杀手，想混在其他实体中（所以才叫杰弗里），而且他可能是这个星球上仅存的几个人之一。但我很快就发现，真正的结论是，这东西几乎肯定不是人类。他能在地板上滑行，需要钻到东西下面时，还能缩小到极其微小的尺寸。要说的话，我猜他长袍下面是某种 blob 生物。 他似乎还拥有某种干扰电力的能力。当半机械人（Semibot）成为他那扭曲变形的面具张开形成微笑的受害者时，他们的视觉会出现故障和模糊。这表明，当罗布张开嘴时，会暂时将半机械人暴露在某种从其口中散发的致盲或短路光环之下。我不确定原因，但这可能意味着罗布本质上是机械的。 （更新：我真是个笨蛋，我原以为这只是杰弗里独有的特性。但实际上，似乎每个怪物都会这样做。我是这么认为的。） 结论：我也搞不清楚，伙计。这家伙要么是某种 blob 生物，要么是某种机器。不管怎样，他穿着长袍，在地板上滑行，还戴着一个奇怪的面具。如果说有什么线索的话，那就是他死后会碎裂，这可能意味着他的长袍或内部是由瓷器制成的。为什么这个实体重要到能占据一个实体槽位？答案是：我喜欢他。另外，他出现在缩略图里，所以我多少得把他加进去，不然这篇攻略就有点标题党的意思了。

（更新：正如之前所提到的，杰弗里在追逐或发出任何声音时，都会发出女性痛苦的声音。我曾尝试查找民间传说中任何有关身穿黑袍、戴着面具的女性的信息，但没有找到太多线索。目前，我只能假设杰弗里要么是一位因自己的突变外貌而感到羞耻，从而用衣物遮盖畸形的女性，要么是袍子下面一团伪装成女性的血肉 blob。） （更新 2：经过进一步研究，我再次确信“Robe”（黑袍怪）实际上可能是某种机器。它们行走时会留下烟雾轨迹，这是其他任何实体都不会有的特征，这表明它们袍子下面可能有一个巨大的单轮。它们的面具移动起来非常机械，而且它们生气的方式也很容易预测，带有机器人的特点。）如果你看着它们，它们会生气，但当你移开视线时，它们就不会生气，只是以缓慢的速度悄悄跟踪你。除非开发者引入能查看“长袍”（Robe）长袍底下的机制（别想歪了），否则我们永远不会真正知道“长袍”是什么。） （更新3：开发者在官方场合将杰弗里（Jeffery）称为“他”，最近的开发者问答环节就证明了这一点——有人问“性相关更新何时推出？”之后，开发者提到杰弗里时用了“他”。这两者其实没什么关联，但我觉得现在我和杰弗里在“性”方面有了官方联系，这挺有意思的。不管怎样，杰弗里要么有代词，要么就是男性。我也说不准。） --- APEX PREDATOR

可能的起源点：自然（或许是迅捷扫帚学院？） 显然，这不是一只鸭子。你很清楚。它是一只伪装成鸭子的怪物（或者说，是一只本身就是怪物的鸭子）；当被触碰时，它会露出巨大的血盆大口，试图吃掉附近的人。我严重怀疑如此低效的捕食者会是 apex predator，毕竟它实际上需要被触碰才能造成任何伤害。它会跳到人们面前，拼命希望有人不小心碰到它。 这个实体本身并不太有趣。然而，它所暗示的意义却很有趣。这种怪物证明了动物已经发生了显著的变异；可能是由于辐射、魔法，或者任何能将普通鸭子变成拥有可脱臼下颚的食肉动物的因素。大眼睛、奇特的翅膀形状以及向内弯曲的脚，这些都是近亲繁殖或严重突变的证据，进一步印证了这一点。这也表明，在可探索区域之外的其他动物可能发生了巨大的变化或突变，这一点在McJannek Station的“Moose Fighting Video”彩蛋中也能看到。不知道我在说什么？别担心，我已经见过两次了：它应该不算太稀有。当你看到它时，你就会明白。 （更新：“厨师”实体实际上进一步证明了动物发生了显著突变，它是一只体型如大型犬般的青蛙，拥有足够的智慧，能够穿上人类遗留的衣物并使用被遗忘已久的烹饪用具。）这也表明，与心灵术士一样，无论是什么导致这些实体进化，似乎也在以某种方式提升它们的心智能力。原因何在？我尚不清楚。） 实体分类2：人类 我认为有些实体是人类，或者至少是人类发生严重突变的后代。如果它们之间的突变具有相似性，那么这或许能为人类自身的遭遇提供有力证据（即适者生存，以及/或者因未知事件而产生的突变。此处不包括“头领”，因为他显然是人类，并且已有单独的分类。此外，这还不包括“蹒跚者”和“爆破者”，因为虽然它们显然是人类，但我懒得写它们，毕竟它们只是骷髅，在生物学上没有任何有趣的贡献。 ---- HUNTSMAN

可能的起源地：头领庄园（至少，他和这里的氛围很搭） 虽然他看起来严重畸形，但我很确定猎人是某种形式的人类。他的声音像人类，知道如何瞄准和开枪（尽管他双目失明），穿着人类的衣服，甚至还有点个性。当他听到动静，走过去却什么也没找到时，会摇摇头，发出失望的叹息。我挺喜欢他的，他很有趣。大胆猜测一下，猎人可能是头领的远房亲戚或儿子。 ---- UPSCREAM

可能的起源点：不确定。所有地点都符合尖叫怪的起源条件。 尖叫怪是变异成蜘蛛模样的恶心人类。然而！它们拥有几乎所有实体中最接近人类的头部，这表明尽管身体其他部位发生了严重变异，它们的头部形状仍与游戏中随处可见的骷髅最为相似。它们不会说话，也没有任何个性，而是退化成了会惊吓猎物致死的兽性生物。它们成群出现，说明它们仍保留着远古时代的一些社交能力。 ---- 暗影孩童

可能的起源点：不确定。 影之孩童可能是人类。也许吧。它们会四处传送，外形和声音都像孩子，并且有6条手臂。对此我不太确定，但有这种可能性。 ---- 隐藏 可能的起源点：不确定。 没有图片，因为这东西是隐形的。不过，它会留下人类的脚印，发出人类的声音，并且有一种奇怪的共情能力——它不会杀死半机械人；基于此，我认为这些实体可能是行为最接近人类的（尽管它们会将半机械人直接置于高度危险的区域）。 ---- 心灵术士

可能的起源点：可能是迅捷扫帚学院，其使用的魔法与学院内发现的事物极为相似。或许是从那些魔法典籍中学得太过聪明了？ 心灵术士显然至少是某种形式的人类。虽然他们明显是基于经典的“小灰人”形象，但我严重怀疑这些家伙并非来自外太空的真正外星人，而更像是一些超越了凡人知识层面、精通心灵魔法的巫师。你倒是说说看，一个完全没有太空旅行设备或防御措施的外星人，为什么会待在偏僻地带的某栋随机建筑里四处传送。如果他们真的是外星生物，难道你不觉得他们应该装备更精良，并且有更重要的事情要做吗？

动物

可能的起源点：不确定 该生物是某种严重（极其严重）畸形的人类，躯干上似乎嫁接了多条腿，双臂已被移除。其眼睛和嘴巴也经过显著改造，鼻子几乎不存在。背部还有缝合痕迹，证实该生物并非天生如此。我实在无法判断是谁或什么造成了这一切。或许是某个心灵术士闲得无聊，搞了些“手工创作”？它与暗影之子的肢体数量相同，但用腿取代了手臂。这可能意味着暗影之子的肢体也是由制造这些生物的同一人或同一伙人嫁接的，但除了这种简单的对比外，并无其他证据。 ---- RUGRATS

可能的起源点：不确定 这显然是一个畸形的人类婴儿。我甚至无需多言。不过，我认为“小捣蛋”（Rugrats）实际上已经完全成年；他们只是进化成了终生保持这种体型。告诉我，你见过比这更大的“小捣蛋”吗？而且，他们的母亲是谁呢？如果他们真的是婴儿，那么就需要母亲的照顾来喂养和培育他们。但实际上，他们似乎完全自给自足，这让我相信“小捣蛋”是退化了的人类，即使完全成年也长得像婴儿。 在头领庄园和快帚学院也有他们的雕像，我会在本指南的“矛盾证据”部分中对此进行阐述，如果本指南足够受欢迎的话，这部分内容最终会补充进来。人类的命运：疾病 这些实体均未遵循任何严格的突变模式，但值得注意的是，略少于半数的实体（若计入“尖啸者”的 jump scare 能力，则恰好为半数）主要使用精神能力。这表明，无论人类遭遇了何种变故，要么极大地促使人类变异为拥有精神魔法的生物，要么这只是人类濒临灭绝后进化过程中的一个副产品。同样值得注意的是，从人类灭绝到高度进化的人类后裔出现的时间跨度，对于这种程度的变化而言实际上非常短暂：建筑物并未破败或杂草丛生，这表明时间过去得很短，以至于几乎所有建筑内的物品都保持着（近乎）完美的状态。这几乎可以肯定，这些人类并非自然进化而来，而是暴露于某种诱变剂后才变成了这些生物。 我真的不知道这可能是什么原因。考虑到我们在游戏中看到的人类骸骨完好无损，人类灭绝可能有以下几种原因： 人类灭绝的可能原因：辐射。可能是核爆炸，但我对此表示怀疑。 某种席卷全球的融肉酸液？ 某种让大多数人窒息而死的东西。 一种病毒或疾病。 税务员不知为何拥有的超级邪恶的超突变即时人类杀手开关。正如我们在商店中所见，收银台旁的尸体似乎只是坐着工作：这意味着他死前并未出现恐慌，而是突然倒地死亡。我认为这是重要证据，表明某种疾病在变得致命后，瞬间杀死了他和其他人类。因此，我认为这个“蠕虫草疾病理论”（如果你要在你那蹩脚的视频脚本里逐字抄袭本指南，至少用这个名字来给予些许认可）几乎解释了所有怪物为何会是现在这副模样。我们暂且将这种疾病称为奥米德病，它杀死了部分人类，但那些对其致命特性免疫的人则发生了变异，变成了严重畸形但本质上仍是人类的怪物。有理由相信，其中一些怪物可能是来自疾病爆发前世界的人类，而非怪物繁殖所产生的后代，因为根据时间线，R.E.P.O.发生在奥米德病导致大部分人口死亡后的10-50年间。这或许也是猎人穿着人类服装的原因：尽管他发生了可怕的突变并且失明，但他至少想让自己感觉仍然像个人类。他甚至把霰弹枪当作拐杖使用——这对于后奥米德时代诞生的怪物来说，可能很难弄明白。 重要更新：顺便说一下，我很确定这种疾病起源于麦詹内克的冰层内部，因为根据白板上的内容，他们对冰层里的东西几乎一无所知。根据麦詹内克站的日历显示，时间至少在2097年4月之后。正如之前所解释的，大概是在那之后的10到50年。

简单来说：《R.E.P.O.》中的人类几乎灭绝，少数对疾病免疫的幸存者因疾病副作用变异成了我们如今所知的实体。我有90%的把握事情就是这样。相信我。 半机械人是人类吗？

什么？不。这问题太蠢了。机器人怎么可能是人，它们……是机器人啊？你傻吗？滚出我的Steam指南。滚出去！滚出去！！ ……等等。你可能说到点子上了。你知道吗，为什么它们被叫做—— “半”机器人 我有理由相信半机器人是人（除了人类在操控和扮演它们，还通过它们说话，仿佛它们就是人类这一点之外）。那么，让我们快速梳理一下半机器人，以实体的角度： ---- 半机器人

可能的起源点：Taxman Factory Lines 这是一个半机器人。具体来说，就是我。半机器人呈圆柱形、药丸状，拥有类人形态。它们可以通过强制摄入装有未知材料的“升级包”盒子来轻松升级。它们能缩小到不合理的尺寸，头部内置某种材料，若被摧毁可使其复活，具体是在Taxman从屋顶塞进建筑物的“提取点”处复活。这表明半机器人头部所容纳的很可能是其最重要的组件或主处理核心所在。它们似乎内置了手电筒和地图，两者均无需额外供电（可能直接从半机器人自身获取能源）。它们的手部还配备有三爪结构，能够发射引力光束，可通过心灵感应来举起物品。税务员会在它们“偷懒”时将其销毁，也就是：未能按时返回卡车。这表明税务员拥有远程终结它们的能力，或者某种在需要时可将其销毁的终止代码。 由于半机械人除了仅剩下头部的情况外，永远无法“关机”，我推测它们的体内某处可能装有非常强大的能量发生器。不过，鉴于半机械人死亡时其头部不再供电，能量发生器很可能位于躯干或腰部。考虑到半机械人死亡时会发生爆炸（即能量源的破坏），这种动力源或许具有高度的不稳定性。这可能意味着半机械人由核裂变或类似的能源驱动。不过，半机械人最有趣的地方在于它们的名字：SEMI-bots（半机械人）。顾名思义，它们并非完全的机器人。“好吧，那它们是什么？难道是……呃……人、人类？！”首先，我讨厌你。其次，是的。有证据表明，半机械人要么是将人类意识上传到其主处理区域而拥有了感知能力，要么是将人类生物大脑保存在头部外壳中。交易商。所以，半机械人很可能是人类。怎么做到的？我有证据吗？答案是：是的，很可能有。

税务官通常用表情符号与你交流，极少使用文字、数字或符号。他一般会描述当前状况：比如你抵达商店时，税务官可能会发一个卡车抵达商店的表情符号，或者一个被火焰包围的手推车（哈哈，这代表大甩卖）。如果你没带够钱就想提前离开某栋废弃建筑，他会发送你已投入的金额，再配上一些失望的表情符号。不过，税务官偶尔会发送一组极具背景故事的表情符号组合，暗示着一个更宏大的故事： （艺术家重现） 这组表情符号组合显示，有个人对自己的决定犹豫不决，正与税务官握手或达成交易（那个大笑的表情符号显然就是他，对吧）。这表明有人与税务官达成了仓促或不确定的交易，但问题是谁。显然，答案是半机械人：否则税务官为什么要给他们发这个，不就是为了嘲讽他们，提醒他们已经达成交易，并受契约约束要作为废料提取者为他服务吗？已经表明税务官是施虐狂，他会嘲笑半机械人的痛苦（如预告片开头所见，当他们面临直接危险时，他故意拖延卡车的准备时间，还有整个处理区，以及他那标志性的、看起来很恶心的笑脸表情符号来代表他的脸）。没有理由相信他不会这样做来嘲讽他们。显然，现在的问题是他们到底同意为税务官做什么。当半机械人在处理区死亡时，他们的尸体会被送往处理区的废料堆。然而，控制他们的人会通过另一个半机械人继续存在。我认为每个游戏玩家都是与税务员（Taxman）达成协议的人（至少在游戏设定中是这样）。这些人都同意通过半机械人继续活下去，因为他们害怕自己会被奥米德（Ormeed）病毒吞噬——在税务员开始招募半机械人时，这种病毒正肆虐横行。他们是否知道自己将永远充当废品收集者，还是对此一无所知，只是同意被植入机器人躯体（而税务员在疾病消灭所有幸存者后，便随心所欲地处置这些躯体），目前尚不得而知，除非税务员再给我发来一串神秘的表情符号。 税务员 正如游戏描述及其他多种途径所揭示的，我们不难发现税务员是一个具备自我意识的人工智能。它以面具下藏有血肉的哭笑表情符号为形象，主要通过表情符号进行交流，并拥有一支由可随意处置的半机械人组成的军队，为其收集“贵重物品”。 那么，第一个问题：税务员究竟是什么？我认为他是某种政府实验产物，在疾病爆发初期逐渐拥有了自我意识。我知道这听起来很老套。但不然他怎么会有如此庞大的预算，来制造源源不断的半机械人躯体，建立一个用于半机械人训练、满是无限复制贵重物品的大型工厂，以及配备能突破几乎任何有墙体防护建筑的高科技卡车？答案很可能是，他由丹麦政府或丹麦其他某个财力雄厚的组织所创造。我说他可能就在丹麦，因为游戏的其他部分都发生在那里，而且如果他不在附近区域，特意选择丹麦作为废料提取国就显得很奇怪了。 但税务官到底想要什么？如果他掌握着丹麦后末日政府的所有物资，那为何还要派遣昂贵且高科技的半机械人（Semibots）进入随机的废弃建筑去取回“贵重物品”呢？这些半机械人明显手无寸铁，面对建筑内的任何东西都极易被摧毁。结论：我完全搞不懂。我猜这可能是他在处理更重要的事情（比如研发配备等离子火焰喷射器和超厚重装甲的半机械人）之余，为了给自己找乐子吧。

THESE are the Semibots of the future, at least to the Taxman. Oh, wait, wrong game... The Story as a Whole (This section is a large conclusive wrap, which is also probably the sequel story to R.E.P.O., enjoy! There is a surplus of speculation here.) So, the game starts out with the earliest known event: the discovery of Magic. Who discovered Magic is unknown, possibly Headman (but I don't have any proof for this), but whoever it was doesn't really matter as Magic was hard to master and required extreme mental skill. Not many people used it, allowing technological progress to continue as normal uninfluenced by the discovery of Magic, but a school was started in Denmark for those naturally gifted at the art of Magic: Swiftbroom Academy. Headman, a young man at the time, was exceptionally gifted at Magic: he quickly learned how to use a staff, how to cast spells, and became the generally best mage at Swiftbroom as a teacher. Eventually, he became the Headmaster of Swiftbroom Academy, teaching the newer students the art of Magic and how to harness it as he had. Eventually, he started a family with somebody else, possibly a witch he met at Swiftbroom, and grew enough in wealth to afford a manor deep into the pine forest with his family name labeled upon it: Headman Manor. Meanwhile in Denmark, McJannek Station was secretly founded by the government of Denmark and a construction company in Greenland to research the strangely anomalous fossils found around a particularly cold and lifeless region. While the government was finalizing the creation of McJannek, the mechanical division of the government finalized a prototypical AI, nowadays known as the Taxman. It's creation was heavily controversial within the government due to moral concerns and the general lack of ethical concerns from the AI, and the Taxman's existence was kept hidden from the public. It was also considered generally useless as a glitch caused the Taxman to speak mostly if not entirely through emojis. Around this time, McJannek Station was finalized in construction, and a research team was sent to the building to extract the fossils and strange items contained within the ice found deep under the snow. However, instead of simple dinosaur fossils, the research team at McJannek uncovered something significantly worse. On the first week of April, 2097, one of the researchers brought a icicle containing a small corpse, of some unidentifiable mutant creature, into the facility for further research. Breaking it open, they studied the odd humanoid corpse; it pulsated slightly, it's gray and frail skin shifting and changing, it's chest heaving as if it were alive. Further study indicated the corpse was, in fact, dead. Their study of the corpse continued for days, before one of the researchers felt something in their chest. They couldn't breathe. A few hours later, the researcher fell over, dead. The rest of the researcher team felt sick as well, and quickly died. Government officials investigated the scene, but felt sick as well shortly afterward. Eventually, the disease escaped McJannek Station, and spread through Denmark like wildfire. Panic spread throughout the populace of Denmark as most people were beginning to get infected. Headman slowly grew more restless as he grew more worried for his family, for the new mages of Swiftbroom, for the art of Magic to be lost. Eventually, he became mad with worry. He broke. Headman went to Swiftbroom Academy with a purpose. Headman began to massacre the Academy with his strong Magic, in a mislead mindset of that he was saving them from the disease. Most mages there died, with those that survived barely living and their blood written upon the wall in a dying breath. Headman, now recovering from his mental break, realized that the disease would soon come for him. He couldn't kill himself, no, that would be cowardly. Instead, he turned his staff upon himself and turned himself into an immortal head, forever a ghostly apparition that would never truly die. A mistake he would grow to regret. The government of Denmark grew worried too, at this point. The disease was unable to be studied by doctors, and the few experienced mages that could've casted spells of protection had been killed. They had a sudden idea: the Taxman. It could calculate infinite possibilities, infinite ways for the disease to be cured and to save humanity. If they put the trust of continuing humanity into Taxman's hands, he could possibly reincarnate humans decades later in mechanical bodies so they could rebuild once more. A genius idea, at the time. They made a program where those who were qualified as productive citizens could sign up to have their consciousnesses digitally transferred into databanks for the later use of Taxman. While Taxman was sadistic and unethical, and could barely communicate, there wasn't the time nor the budget to create a more ethical sentient AI for this task. The day the program was open to public eyes, thousands if not millions of civilians from Denmark and surrounding countries immediately flocked to have their consciousnesses transferred, so they could live through the inevitable disease. Eventually, they did, and as most of humanity died, Taxman was reactivated once more and given access to the near-infinite database of human minds and given a task to reincarnate them. Taxman eventually did. In other news, some people who appeared dead were still alive, somehow. They were struggling to stay alive, but they were technically, somehow, alive. Those few amongst the sea of bodies lining the streets of Denmark were those who were immune. After a few days, and after the extinction of 95% of humanity, the immune rose from the floors mutated but still mostly human. As the weeks ticked on, they changed more and more, each human growing into their own mutant form, exposed to the side effects of the virus they weren't supposed to be even alive to experience. These humans eventually lost the ability to speak as their tongues were either shriveled off or grew to abysmally large or small sizes. Some humans evolved into Mentalists, alien-like creatures that have simply absorbed the knowledge from the books lining the remains of Swiftbroom Academy. Some children evolved into Shadow Children, disgusting creatures imbued with psychic powers from the disease that infests their bodies. Some people evolved into the Hidden, invisible humans that seem relatively normal but unable to feel empathy and unable to be seen. Regardless of the form, each of these humans shared one thing in common: they weren't very human anymore, and despised those who were qualified to go into the database to live forevermore. To be spared an existence such as theirs. As the mutation process was finishing it's work, the Taxman began to plan. His creators wanted him to preserve humanity, and to give them chances at life once more. Taxman twisted this idea: he created the most ideally inefficient machines possible. Mostly unable to defend themselves, and made of extremely weak metal, the Taxman invented Semibots: shells designed to inhabit human consciousness. He would send them into the various abandoned buildings, under the guise of "collecting valuables," and watch them die for simple entertainment. Of course, if they did die, he would simply transfer their consciousness back into the database before putting it in a different shell for later usage or for making them fight in the Disposal Area. It was a perfect plan. As a little bit of a false hope, the Taxman hastily turned some abandoned gas stations into shops for these Semibots where they could spend the "money" they "earned" by completing their "mission." Obviously, Taxman wouldn't allow them to really succeed. They are destined to be thrown into the Disposal Area, it's just that the more skilled Semibots would get to suffer for longer in the various locations he throws them in. Conclusion This wraps up the R.E.P.O. story as of now, at least until the first update for the game comes along. I hope you liked it, which you probably didn't because I really, REALLY like typing, but I hope I made at least some coherent sense. Thank you for reading! Also also please like and favorite this guide haha lol I crave approval. IGNORE THE NEXT 2 SECTIONS if you only care about R.E.P.O. lore.

更新：有位油管博主盗用了我的攻略！ 大家好。我写这段话的时间大约是2025年3月26日下午6点51分，因为我看到一条关于某位油管博主的评论，然后发现这家伙竟然公然盗用了我所有的心血成果！而且甚至没有注明出处！什么啊？你不能这么做！请不要点击这个链接，这会给他带来收益！ （链接内容已按规则处理） 真的不要点击（因为这会给他带来观看量，进而让他从我的作品中获利），但如果你实在想要证据的话（不过一定要点踩）。你可以发现整个视频就是他用略微不同的措辞把我写的内容重新念了一遍，这让事情更糟了。

凝视我的作品，然后绝望吧！ 更新：事实证明，这被称为“AI抄袭”。显然，许多“不露脸”的油管博主通常会让ChatGPT重写他人作品的文字稿（在这里是攻略），以便重新发布来赚取高额收益。如果你最终点击了这个视频，请举报它。我也给他发了邮件并留言指出这不是原创作品，但他不断删除我的留言，且不予回复。 好吧，你需要证据吗？可以这样想：他提到的每一个主题都和我的完全按相同顺序排列，以完全相同的方式引入，在完全相同的时间点提出完全相同的理论。此外，他甚至使用了关于“迅捷扫帚学院”那间小屋的那段非常多余的台词。这段脚本很明显是AI写的。 不管怎样，这部分内容和指南毫无关联，但我感觉自己被骗了——那个家伙的视频居然有3万次观看（现在都13万次了，搞什么？！），他就靠这种破烂玩意儿赚钱，照着我的指南念，然后让GPT简单改写一下，这样就不会被判定为抄袭。那可是我的指南！我为这个破指南投入了好几个月的心血！他不能偷我的东西！除非他先来问我一声。但他根本没问！不过，如果你确实有有价值或有趣的内容想说，那就别这么做，因为我至少需要一个看起来条理清晰的评论区。

是的，这部分内容原本是关于那个偷我东西的家伙的。（就是那个#IHATETHATGUY家伙）

But, i've replaced it so everybody can divert attention to somebody who actually STOLE MY ENTIRE GUIDE instead of just an image! Apologies, "#IHATETHATGUY" guy, maybe you really weren't that bad. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EXAMPLE OF GOOD CREDITING AND SOURCING: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crzOU1Z3IvQ This guy LINKED my guide! This is how you do a theory video based on somebody else's theory. If you have time, I suggest you watch this video: it has some great theories and expansions upon what I had to say. https://youtu.be/jNC-hrfxRgQ This guy also has good theories, but it's in Portuguese, so you MIGHT not be able to understand it. UPDATE: Honorable Commenters Hi. This guide, uh, blew up. SO, as a thanks to all you funny little reader gremlins, i'm adding this new Honorable Commenters section, for everybody with good theories (or just the Guy Haters (#IHATETHATGUY)). This is also in chronological order. This is all bonus Guide DLC content, which you can skip past if you want to. Also also, this guide temporarily got taken down for "Sexual Content," of which I assume was the Haters of That Guy section, thus it is not included. Sorry, guy haters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Honorable Commenter: Naterfish, Mar 10, 8:12pm "I thought they were called semi-bots because like.... semi-trucks. Y'know, the vehicles that get used for big deliveries. Also, you have to include the absolutely VITAL piece of lore that is Jeffery's ability to consistently appear precisely when it's mentioned that he'll revive shortly or I say "He's right behind me, isn't he?". Anyways, solid 8.952216493 out of 9 and 2/3s guide. I vastly prefer this over the youknowwho youknowwhat guide. Now it's time for me to get Jeffery'ed out of existence." Response: This is the first honorable comment, the first comment overall, and also a boring one. Also written by my best friend. Also also, he's wrong that semi-bots are related to semi-trucks, because last I checked the "semi" in "semi-truck" referred to the fact semi-trucks are half trailer. Or at least, that's what google told me. Also also also, the last line is cringey and I hate it. This is only included because of social nepotism. Ignore this (dis)honorable comment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Honorable Commenter: Gallardito :3, Mar 15, 7:09pm "There are some magazines in the store that might give some clue as to what happened. I don't really know much because I just discovered it, but one of the magazines says "EXTRA: THE NOON BLADE. HEAD DEAD? YES? MAYBE!? Something terrible happened..." and has a photo of someone with their eyes censored. Another detail is that the store has a secret section that usually has human grenades and candles, which may indicate that some humans hid for a while wherever they could in criminal corners with weapons to protect themselves as "human grenades." Response: I already knew about the newspaper, but I actually didn't know about the humans hiding in the shops, so thank you for telling me this. It has saved me a surplus of money at the stores. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd Honorable Commenter: I'm watching, Mar 15, 10:53pm "Something else to add is I have a headcanon reason why Taxman is collecting all this scrap, for the preservation of humanity, or at least collecting their artifacts. Namely, what it finds valuable is often of mixed or negligible usefulness. Like why does a AI want a Jade Plate? It also makes sense if the goal is preservation versus resource harvesting, because even the most minor of damage causes a huge drop in price. Side note, I think dollars are valuable because of the money bag the Taxman gives for a rebate. Like besides stuff in the shop, the only thing you are given is a bag of otherwise useless cash to turn in at the next extract. Lastly, one last evil thing the Taxman does is turn the lights off the moment the last extract happens. Powering the location is only useful for finding things, and the Taxman lets us wander back in the dark, knowing there's still monsters in location." Response: While the last half of the comment could be entirely removed with no drawbacks, I think he has a very strong headcanon at the start of it. HOWEVER! HOOOWWWEEVEER!! If Taxman really wants to preserve these artifacts, then why can you just needlessly destroy thousands of them in the Tutorial with no consequences? Checkmate, gamers. Although, if you ignore the tutorial, I actually think the preservation of humanity is a really good idea for Taxman's motives. But it still doesn't make sense why he's a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, even with this theory. If he really wanted to be efficiently preserving humanity, wouldn't he, like, just attach grenade turrets onto the factory-default Semibots? And not hinder their progress at the end of the round? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4th Honorable Commenter: Psylexic, Mar 16, 10:09pm "[ERROR: NULL. RESPONSE NOT COPY AND PASTED]" Response: If I copy and pasted this guy's essay it would take up half this section. Look at it for yourself. It's near the end. I think he has some interesting theories, but I am always right and never wrong and he should be ashamed of himself for even thinking about opposing my set-in-stone lore book. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5th Honorable Commenter: JJtwigs, Mar 17, 8:20pm "I think the robe needs to be NERFED!!! its too powerful completely silent and one hit if it gets too close" Response: While this gigachad hasn't said anything too honorable, he's commented like 5 separate times over a month (or week, i'm bad with time), so I think he's quite honorable. If your reading this, hi JJTwigs PLZ friend me on Steam nd I think ur profile picture looks awsome :3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6th Honorable Commenter: Chotato, March 21, 2:09pm "The Mentalist could be a version of whatever was discovered in the ice at McJannek Station. Another idea I had when reading "His creators wanted him to preserve humanity, and to give them chances at life once more. Taxman twisted this idea". What if instead of twisting the idea to entertain him, he twisted the idea to put Human consciousness Semi-bots which is Taxman's version of 'A chance at life once more', and collecting artifacts and valuables is his was of 'preserving Humanity'. This still allows him to get entertainment from the indentured nature of the Semi-bots, and still allows him to be following his programming on both the preservation of Humanity task and allowing Humans to continue 'living'. Humans are *technically* still around, and their culture is *technically* still being preserved, while also still being exterminated and not in control of Earth anymore. Really good lore breakdown, has some really good theories and ideas. #IHATETHATGUY" Response: To the first sentence; I was trying to imply that in the overall story section but didn't include it in the Mentalist section because I figured it MIGHT have been a little too far-out (ALIEN PUN NOT INTENDED). Also, the Taxman ideals theory seems quite reasonable and might also be the truth to the lore, so good job on that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 7th Honorable Commenter: Вуф, 22 minutes ago "Another possible thing: taxman sends semibots to collect property instead of unpaid taxes. This is why we have monsters here, taxman counts them as actual people that avoid paying taxes." Response: This is actually a very good theory that matches up with most things that Taxman wants collected. However, still doesn't explain why Taxman would want his workers dead. Other than that, it's still a very good theory and this gains the WormWeed(TM) seal of approval as it has like a 20-45% chance of being right. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Most Honorable Commenter: Wormweed, Creation of The Guide "*PUT GUIDE HERE*" Response: "You can't put yourself in the honorable commenters section!" Well, too bad! I don't see your ass writing a lore guide on a game that the devs themselves have said has barely any lore until they add it all in future updates. Also, i've commented more times than any of you, so haha.
