Chapter 144 - Dior's Heaven and Hell 05
It must have been an illusion, and whenever she looked up, she could always see things in front of her eyes that she shouldn't see. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But robots don't have hallucinations, and it's not the first time she's started to check her body. It's unusual to find some problems after each check. Even though I found a "problem" that could cause hallucinations, the failure rate was too high. Before routine check-ups each month, she was able to find several faults.
What did she see? With the way she was given the way she was given, it was hard for her to understand what it was. She could only think of it in a human way - it was herself.
The same face, the same expression, the same identification code, and even the same 'feeling'. She's by no means looking in the mirror, and although she's asked other techies online, no one will believe them. As the man said, human beings only see what they want to see, listen to what they want to hear, and don't turn a blind eye to what they don't want to face.
And when she woke up again that day, she finally saw something different.
"What's the matter, I look like I've seen a ghost. The blonde elf frowned and sat across from her.
"Isn't this Master Dior? ”
"That's a strange statement, now there's a new job," Dior said, pulling out his pipe, "to find out what this man is all about." ”
Dio handed the photo to Jacqueline. The photo shows a little girl with blue hair, Jacqueline took a look at it, and then opened her mouth and said:
"This person's bones are about 20% smaller than the average person, but there is no abnormality in the body structure, and the appearance is very healthy, not like a dwarfism patient, the hair color has nothing in common with humans, and it is identified as a "monster" without considering genetic mutations, and there is no matching information in the database, so it is recommended to check it through the Internet. ”
With that, Jacqueline sat back down in front of the computer, and she pulled a line from the back of her neck, approaching the excuse of the computer, her eyes flashing with a wonderful light. Dio walked up to her and stared at the data flashing across the computer, as if she could see the flashing data on it.
"The legend of the One Inch Mage. Popular novels that appeared during the Muromachi period are collectively referred to as 'Mikakusako'. Most of the works are based on folk tales and describe the lucky encounters of commoners. The one-inch mage refers to the name of the main character in the Japanese fairy tale "The One-inch Mage", and also has an ironic meaning of referring to a short man. Folklore scholars refer to heroes with special birth experiences as 'Lilliputies'. That is, only this kind of hero with divine nature can exorcise terrible demons. The Japanese love these stories, not only because of ancient beliefs, but also because of the magical power of 'fighting big with small', where a small person as small as an inch or a child less than ten years old can subdue a monster that is bigger and stronger than the average person. ”
But the presence in the photo does not match the information, her figure is similar to that of a normal person, only slightly different in bones. ”
Dio frowned.
"It can be assumed that she has something to do with that clan," Jacqueline removed the connecting wire, "Legend has it that at the beginning of this clan, the one-inch mage was given a magic weapon called the "Ten Thousand Treasure Mallet", and with the power of that magic weapon, he was able to become the size of a normal person. ”
"That's enough, that's enough," Dior nodded, "Also, questions about Skal's technology..."
"On that point," Jacqueline closed her eyes, "that kind of android is extremely cumbersome to manufacture and produce, there is no specialized workshop, and it takes a huge amount of cumbersome processes to make an android. Even if there is a professional workshop, if there is no ordinary person's consciousness as a template, the final product will have many problems. Words for specific questions... You can try it out now. ”
"Can you make it now?" Dior paused.
"Yes, the Emperor of the Ming Empire has provided a full set of equipment," Jacqueline said, typing something into the computer, "and the program will be written in a few days, and the problem will be verified when the time comes." Skar should be using some people's consciousness as a template, but this method requires the use of a technology called "uploading the brain", but this technology still has a lot of problems, because the equipment used to copy the information in the brain will generate a lot of heat, and the brain will be damaged, so this method is also called "burning the brain", and the person who uses it as a template is dead. ”
"I see, it looks like this could be a fatal blow to Scalar," Dio narrowed his eyes, "Alright, then I'll be back in a few days." ”
"At that time, I can show you the flaws of the current Skal android. ”
Skal's problem has been solved somewhat, but Dior is still worried about the 'Nagisa'. She remembered what Wang Zhutou had said, and Yujian also often met with a craftsman named Ruowu Bai, so she decided to visit that craftsman.
It was quite cumbersome to meet him, and it was said that an appointment should be made at least a day in advance. Fortunately, with the help of Zhu Yuanfang's 'will', Dior went to meet this 'famous' craftsman at night.
The place where Wakakibai is located is a small workshop, and in the depths of the deep alley, there are oil lamps, and it is impossible to see that it is a place where a famous craftsman stays. Dior glanced up at the plaque, which read two gilded characters "Baifang", which really sounded like the name of the Qinglou, Dior pouted and knocked on the door.
"Are you coming?"
In front of the iron felt in the workshop stood a man who was out of place with his surroundings. He had the same gray hair as Zi Buyu, and he held a hammer in his right hand, and he picked up the clip in his left hand, tossed the unformed piece of metal aside, and then smiled and nodded to Dior. He put down his tools and brought two small stools.
"Condescending to the humble house, the hospitality is not considerate, please forgive me. ”
"It's out of the way," Dior twitched, "I'm here to ask something about the Rain Sword." ”
"That child?" Ruowu raised his eyebrows, "It's really rare that someone would care about that child, and even the emperor didn't think to come over and ask me about her." But... I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, and if you want to ask her what she is capable of, or how to catch her, I can't answer. It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I don't know, otherwise the emperor would have come to me a long time ago to ask about these things, didn't he?"
Dio turned his face a little dissatisfied, he just wanted to know what Dio wanted to ask, and directly blocked all the roads of Dior, she opened her mouth and just wanted to say something, Ruo Wubai had already spoken:
"The child next to her, that's her 'thing,'" Wakakibai sighed, "they met more than 4,000 years ago. Rather than come and ask me, Yumi Ken himself might be more willing to tell you if it were you..."
"It seems that you are not simple. Dio's eyes narrowed.
"Why, I'm just a craftsman everywhere," Wakakibai chuckled, "Yumi Jian is not a kind child, and people like you may have more common language, something I don't know, maybe she will be willing to tell you." You have that "charisma". ”
"Then tell me about her," Dio exhaled, "as far as you know." ”
"She's human, just like you. ”
“... Me?" Dior snorted, "I'm a complete monster." ”
"It's just that 'others' think so," Wakakibai looked at her with a little meaning, "she used to be an 'exorcist', which was a good profession in human society at that time, and she and her family were exorcists. In order to fight against youkai, humans invented human "magic" to fight against "witchcraft". It's a pity that after humans settled down, the life of the exorcist was not very easy. A large number of exorcists have lost what they can do, and some have given up their ability to exorcise demons and compromised with the development of society. But that kind of family will eventually be due to the decline of the magic and the "monsters" who come to seek revenge... Tragic destruction. ”
"And then?" Dior was not interested in listening to the tragic life of others.
"She's different, her family is famous for their exorcists, but they haven't given up on the arts. However, they were rejected by other humans and identified them as "monsters". Later, she chose to be in the company of youkai, and in order to get revenge on the "humans", she destroyed the famous country at the time, killed countless people, and was a complete bastard," Wakagirihiro said this, and then was silent for a moment, watching Dior's reaction, "But she also saved the world, and she was the enemy of the self-proclaimed god youkai, and what she did... It's just that little girl next to her. ”
"Heh, it's a bloody story, my ears are going to get calluses," Dio didn't care, she shook her head and stood up, "Thank you very much for the master to meet me, but I didn't get any useful news, I'm sorry for wasting your time, I'm leaving." ”
"If only you would listen to me. ”
Ruo Wubai smiled slightly, watched Dio leave without looking back, and then picked up his hammer and muttered to himself:
So the wheel of fortune began to turn again. ”
