Chapter Twenty-Six: The Puppeteer

The so-called doll, from its etymological point of view, is nothing more than the definition of humanoid, idol and the like. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not real, but it's similar to a human form, so it's not uncommon to really break through the boundaries and really make a human instead of a puppet, right?

That's what Rhodes thought, and he seems to be right.

The orange smokes in its mouth, comfortably inhaling the pale blue haze that is harmful to health. Rhodes didn't have much to say about that. It doesn't matter if the orange demonstration is a demonstration or a sarcasm, as long as it achieves the goal.

What Wilderness wants to do is to have the two rituals kill similar people. So, even if the body is killed by Liangyi and replaced with a new body, isn't it better to even change the girl into a new body from the beginning?

The alternative method has not been thought of for the time being, but Rod thought, if there is really no way, he will have to take offense and try to disguise himself as that girl with his doppelganger, right?

Will this be effective?

I don't think it's going to be, but Rhodes doesn't think it's worth it because of that...

Forget it, it's useless to talk too much. It's better to settle the matter in front of you first.

"So, say it, what do you want"

Orange asked, and Rod replied without hesitation, "A body"

"Huh?"

Orange's eyes widened, and he looked at Rod incredulously, as if surprised that he had said such a thing.

"Body, you?" Then, I knew that she had misunderstood something.

Rodrite shook his head, not rising from the idea of creating a body for himself.

It was superfluous to himself, and he was quite aware of this.

"Not for me, it's another person"

"Can't do it"

"I'm talking about a need..."

"Can't do it"

As a result, he was interrupted twice in a row, and Orange didn't wait for Rhodes to finish speaking, so he blocked all the explanations, as if he didn't want to talk to this person, and stopped talking.

"Is it because you hate me?" Rod frowned, this was not what he wanted to see.

It is true that coming to this woman now, for himself who had fought not long ago and even destroyed the other party's workshop, it was not bad to say that he had no skin and no face, but if he could, he still hugged the other party and at least listened to his words. Such attempts.

It's just that it seems that the other party doesn't even have the idea to listen to it.

"No, it's a white thing," Orange twisted the cigarette in the ashtray, exhaled the last puff of blue smoke, and sighed before speaking again, "Although I do hate you as a person, the so-called magician, in other words, is also the kind of thing that is negotiable, if you can cooperate, you will cooperate, and this will not change"

"So—" Rhodes spoke again, and then, interrupted again.

Orange waved his hand to stop him, and seeing this gesture, Rod closed his mouth obediently.

"Well, what I'm going to say is, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's not that I don't do it because of you, it's that I can't" Orange pulled out a new cigarette - as if dissatisfied with the amount left in the cigarette case, she frowned in disgust and muttered a few words, as if she was hesitant to continue smoking, but after half a second, she pulled out her lighter and lit the inferior cigarette.

Then, go ahead and speak.

"Clearly, you want me to make a body for another person, right?"

"Yes"

"And, a human body?"

"That's right"

"Then there is no way"

Orange shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.

"Isn't it incredible?"

Rod nodded, he had thought it was something that the puppeteer had captured.

Seeing the orange on his face, he immediately guessed what he was thinking.

'This is really a troublesome thing,' she sighed to herself, and then began to explain.

"You've probably heard something like 'reborn from a severed limb', right? Let's not mention how laborious it is, let's just say what it means," she crushed the second cigarette and then pulled out a third, but it didn't light it, just held it in her mouth.

"The body, the mind, although the human body is connected, in the end, can still be divided into two parts"

"Two parts?"

"Yes, the thinking part, and the execution part, that's understandable, right?"

"Almost"

Rod frowned. In fact, he didn't fully understand, but he listened to a general idea of what Orange was going to say.

When you go back, you have to learn a little bit about it.

He made up his mind.

"Then I'll continue, you see, that's the problem" Orange knocked on the desktop "The physical aspect, the execution part, is actually very easy, just like the hardware part of the computer, if it is broken, you can replace it with a new one, hard disk, optical drive, and even sometimes, even if these things are gone, it's not a big problem, right?"

“・・・”

"But if there is no software in a computer, and nothing is installed in the startup program, isn't it broken? No matter how sound the limbs are, what will happen if a person has no head?"

Orange smiled and gestured with her fingers to the shape of a pistol, then pressed it against her temple, and used her lips to simulate a 'pong!' note.

"So, that is, the crux of the matter is, you can make limbs, a body, but not a head?"

"That's right, but it's not that you can't make a head, but it's that you need to understand something like a head for too long."

Rod didn't understand this sentence, he didn't know what this understanding meant.

He only understood slightly, subtly, unspeakably, understood a little thing.

This enlightened thing is like a raindrop seeping into a crack in a stone, and it disappears in the blink of an eye.

He shook his head, finally, not thinking about him.

"Let's not mention that, then, can the girl's head be transplanted into a new body?"

He couldn't help but ask a stupid question.

Even the oranges opened their mouths wide in fright for this bold question.

"Are you kidding?" she didn't even care if the cigarette in her mouth fell to the ground.

Although she knew that Rod was just saying one thought, she still felt heartfelt for such an idea...

"No kidding"

"But what's the difference between that and dead?"

"... Rod was silent for a moment.

Of course, he knew that this was a very excessive thing. But, it's better than dying, isn't it? Besides, if you don't know it, there's no way to do it.

"Okay?"

He didn't ask if he could do it, but directly asked if he could do it.

So, Orange glared at him.

"Technically possible, but what will happen, there is no guarantee"

"How?"

"People who undergo surgery, whether they will die or not, how long they will die, it's uncertain, don't underestimate human beings, if human beings were such simple things, then the world would have been peaceful a long time ago"

Rod clearly saw Orange's face and smiled wonderfully.

It was weird, a twisted smile, with three points of hatred and seven points of helplessness.

At this moment, Orange thought of Aoko.

"Even if it is deficient in one aspect, it will always make up for it in another place, although it can't be very fair, but it can always achieve an eight-point balance, probably, that's right?"

She tilted her head and said not to Rod, but to herself.

Rod was smart enough not to interject.

So, after a long silence, Orange finally nodded. Tiredly agreed.

"I did"

"Thank you"

"But what the result will be, it's still the same sentence, I don't promise"

"Thank you"

Rod stood up, hesitated slightly, and then bowed sincerely.

That's it, that's enough.

It's man-made, and it's not okay to not work hard because you can't do it.

Even if there is no hope, it must be wasted for this, so that you can calmly fulfill your own path.

Rodritte, such a fool.
