Chapter 18: God's Turn

The diligent gods have made me a little more motivated, but the so-called motivation is only for the decadence of these days, and there is not much motivation in the qualities of my previous regularity of action, except that in the period when a certain research is about to bear fruit, I may suddenly gain some extraordinary energy.

For example, when Shanghai, which is infinitely similar to an independent life form and a puppet race, is about to be finished - Penglai (including most other ornamental dolls, game dolls, explosion dolls, etc.) still has a huge gap compared with Shanghai, so strictly speaking, although she is a doll with the same meaning as Shanghai, it cannot be regarded as an independent life form. However, the progress of research on Shanghai has reached the highest peak, and I have no clue how to further make Shanghai a truly independent thinker, so in fact I have not had the extraordinary motivation and pleasure for decades.

"Your eyes seem to have become a little brighter, and your whole person is more energetic." Kanako was keenly aware.

"Ah, because I think that although decades of decadence have not allowed me to obtain substantial research results, at least it has made me understand a truth, that the research method of sitting and sitting in meditation does not always work, and that we should seek opportunities for breakthroughs when appropriate."

Kanako seemed to be inexplicable and even slightly frightened by my words: "You're not planning an earth-shattering change, are you, Miss Alice?" ”

"No, no, where do you want to go, how can I make trouble for myself as a temporary Hakurei shrine maiden, I just think that even if I can't find a particularly effective research direction, my research on the independent life forms of puppets should not rest on their laurels."

"I can't give any advice on that," Kanako said regretfully, "even if they are gods, they don't necessarily involve the realm of creating independent will. ”

"This should have been my own independent research," I stated, "Well, if Miss Kanako suddenly became interested in creating the world at some point in the future, she should have created creatures to dot the earth and sky in the infinite void." ”

"If you're a small animal that's almost exclusively driven by instinct, it's not a hassle to create, and if you use examples that already exist in the world as a basic reference, even the current Suwako can easily create a part of life. But independent will is an esoteric science, and I admire Miss Alice very much about that. ”

"There's still a big gap between you and your predecessors in this area," I said, scratching my head, "I've heard that a great puppeteer created a perfect life form hundreds of years ago, and Alice - of course it has nothing to do with me, his methods are no longer clearly documented, but a few bits and pieces of accounts mention that he first created seven puppet girls with different characteristics, each of which is probably more clever than my Shanghai. These seven dolls are connected by the reverse origin of the seven to form the perfect girl Alice - which has nothing to do with me anyway - but because she is so perfect that she has disappeared from the mundane world at the beginning of her birth, and the puppet master has not appeared in anyone's record since. ”

"It sounds like a god was created, what does the seven-in-one mean?"

"Ah, that's true, the gods will disappear like this."

"The reason may be different...... Right? ”

"I don't know what the meaning of the seven-in-one is, it may be a very mysterious method, but all in all, there is still a long way to go to create a unique doll that is unique to me."

"Is the result independent or your ......?"

"Both."

"So is Alice planning to reconstruct the method in the account?"

"No, if you want to do your research independently, you can't go back the old way," I said righteously, "even if I don't talk about whether Shanghai will disappear immediately if it succeeds, I only hope to achieve the goal through my own research methods, and borrowing from methods that have existed in the past, or methods that have naturally formed in nature, do not mean copying the whole text." ”

"The methods of nature are the methods that arise naturally and are formed without any interference of willpower, and they are also the most reasonable methods, such as humans, demons, spirits, ghosts, and so on."

"Just because there is no way to do it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, as long as you stick to it, you can always find it."

"Anyway, I'm glad to see Alice cheer up." From this perfunctory tone, it can be seen that Miss Kanako is not interested in creating life for the time being, I think, but there will always be a day when she will be interested, no matter how far away that day is.

"Then I can safely ask you to do me a small favor," Kanako said in a very formal tone and posture, putting her bent legs down and straightening, "It's just a small favor, and after thinking about it, it's only appropriate to ask Miss Alice to help me, so please don't refuse." ”

"Eh, suddenly, abruptly, it was hard for me to get used to the change from a relaxed preaching style to a serious pleading tone, and I would be glad if it was just a small favor to help the gods."

"So, the light-hearted style in front of me is actually a foreshadowing for the final request," Kanako turned into a grinning aunt next door again, "It's time to get down to business, uh-ah-what's the business......"

...... "Me," "Can I go back?" ”

"Wait, wait, it's not a joke, I'm very serious about requesting, although the content of the help is very simple, but I'm really hesitant about what method to use, let me think about it carefully."

"Well, I'm idle anyway, Miss Kanako, please think about it slowly, maybe you can reveal the content of the help first?" Actually, I didn't care if Miss Kanako was teasing me, but Aunt Shen's sudden face infrared and cute tone made me feel very bad.

"Yes, yes, I didn't think about it enough, let's start from the beginning," Kanako paused for a while and then said, "That's it from the beginning, you already know the reason why I broke Sanae, because I'm not using the identity of a god, but leaning towards ordinary people, and it doesn't matter if I say goblins and ghosts, in short, it's out of the sense of gods, in all aspects." ”

"Well, that's right."

But this is only a temporary manifestation of my subjective initiative, and in fact even if I break the faith of all believers, I still cannot get rid of the shackles of the gods, which are the basis of the fundamental nature of life, and cannot be completely detached from it by a casual word. It's like a teenager in the second year of middle school, casually claiming that he is not a human but a vampire, a demon or something cool, so does that mean that he is a vampire or a demon or something? Of course not. ”

"In other words, Miss Kanako claims to be inclined to people, but in fact she is still a god."

"Yes, yes, that's it, it's very simple."

"yes, what does the god want to do?"

"Get rid of the shackles of being a god."

"I've often heard people claim to be tired of being humans, ghosts, monsters, or whatever, and the gods are tired of being gods, and it's the first time they've encountered them."

"Because there are not many gods who can come this far, and there are only a handful of gods in Gensokyo."

"Eh, the human saying 'not a good person' is just a matter of words, but the gods are going to take action," I said, "Is it to help Miss Kanako get rid of the gods?" ”

"Ah, that's right, Miss Alice is so understanding."

If it's such a simple and easy thing to do, why is Miss Kanako stumbling?
