"Come, knock on the door, quick, quick. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Xiao Ming Xiaohong put his hands behind his back and couldn't wait to urge me, and it nodded vigorously at me with its featureless head at a speed that could dislocate my neck, which was creepy.

The gate of the castle in front of me was covered with raised intricate patterns, carved with a bunch of unrecognizable things. As an old-looking door, it couldn't find a place to knock on it, and I fumbled for a while before I found a round metal button that looked like a doorbell in the hidden corner on the right.

"Ah, the affection, the touching reunion, what a beautiful scene! Only humans can do that. Uh-huh. You are the first couple in the entire Achasm! This is truly a historic moment! And I turned out to be a witness, and I said that although the work of guarding the door seems thankless to you humans, it is still full of various gains, such as ...... now."

If Xiao Ming Xiaohong didn't lie to me, then it was obviously impossible for this unmarried and childless woman in the house to know me, I was very sure that I was not ready to meet the "past mother", but I didn't want to listen to the alien in front of me continue to chatter, so I pretended to press the doorbell decisively. The next moment, instead of the traditional "Ding Dong" or the music that would normally be used as a doorbell, it was a rock song, and the earth-shattering opening solo of electric guitar appeared so suddenly that I jumped on the spot.

When the guitar solo was over and the singer had just finished singing the first lyrics, the music suddenly stopped and the door opened a crack. I nervously swallowed.

"Excuse me......"

"Come in on your own." The familiar voice, with her usual arrogant and lazy tone, came through the crack in the door. I don't have a close relationship with this woman, but I feel a little relieved at this moment.

"Go in, go in, go in."

I held back the "Mom" that had already reached my lips, sniffed, and pushed open the heavy door. Xiao Ming Xiaohong changed back to the shape of a pudding and twisted in after me.

Although the castle is large from the outside, the space inside is surprisingly small, and the style changes dramatically. The hall, which enters through the entrance, is dressed up like a large warehouse, with no serious furniture, a pile of movie and animation posters hanging on the four walls, and a variety of life-size dolls in the corners—all of which are mother's favorite characters. There are a few closed doors on the left side of the hall, and a dark red staircase on the right that looks like a lot of money, and the layout design does not make any sense. Behind the staircase was a European-style fireplace, next to which were three different sofas in shape, size, color, and even softness, and the one who would be my mother was wearing a loose T-shirt with animated lines on it, playing games on the lazy couch in the center, and in her arms was a sleeping kitten — exactly what she was used to in the future.

"Yo, Ning 08." Xiao Ming Xiaohong stretched her body and moved towards her.

"What is Ning 08?" I asked in a whisper.

"It's your mother's code name in the Arakes."

"Yo, pudding, what's the matter?" Known as "Ning 08", she put down the handle, gently leaned on the edge of the bagged sofa, tilted her head, and dragged her voice for a long time. When I really met her when I was young, I could fully understand why my mother was treated as a goblin by the media, and she had almost no change in her appearance in the past and future, and she was always childish as a college freshman. Perhaps, it is precisely because I look at her with the same eyes as strangers now that I have the opportunity to understand why so many men have been obsessed with her over the years—even in such a state of complete lack of dressing, she has a unique temperament that is different from ordinary people.

"Don't call me Pudding!" Here, Xiao Ming Xiaohong's body turned red, and she may be in a state of annoyance.

She disagreed with Xiao Ming Xiaohong's protest and shook her hand to change the topic.

"If there is something to report, there is nothing to retreat."

"You received the news that an earthling and two Van Xi people entered the earth just now, right?"

Hearing this, she finally glanced at me, but her gaze stayed on me for more than a second.

"And then?"

"He is the earthling, and after analyzing and investigating the genes, we found out that he is your son, but since you have no reproductive history, he should be your future son."

"My future son?" She frowned, and looked at me carefully for a moment. "Oh, well, what's next, shake hands? No need. And then what? ”

She accepted everything so quickly that I didn't know what to do at once, and I could only pestle straight in place like a stake.

"Because it would be dangerous to keep him on Earth, and in the spirit of humanitarianism, we will temporarily keep him in the Yachasm, and the two Van Xi people who traveled with him are communicating with Qing Shaodu, and I think there should be a result soon. Before this, he had nowhere else to go, in order to prevent his mental state from being unstable, I think it would be a good solution to bring him to meet the earthlings first, do you think so? It's definitely the best solution, there can't be better, but I really thought of a better solution, which is to bring him to Mother, which is you! How, it's simply wonderful! Mother is the most reassuring existence, bring him to see his mother, that will definitely maintain a very stable mental state all the time, there will be no problems. I know that mom is very important to you humans, ah, mom! Great Mother! I can't believe that Ning 08 you have a day to take on such a great role! Do you see anything changing in the future, I don't think so. But now that he is indeed your son, he must be taken care of by you, I can think that you should reject my suggestion, but there is no other candidate, think about it, Ning 08, is there a more suitable person besides you? He has to stay with you, and when those two Vaticans have consulted with us, we need to find out their motives, why they are here, and what will happen to us and you, don't you think that's the truth? As for what to do after figuring this out, it's up to me to see what to do, and you should believe that I-"

"-Okay, okay," Ning 08 interrupted it, "Do you know how long it will take for Qing Shaodu's discussion with the Fanxi Xingren to come to fruition?" ”

"I don't know, if it's fast, it may be good for a while, and if it's slow, it may take a few days."

"How many days can you talk about such a thing?" I couldn't help but chime.

"It's a long story, let's start with the first meeting between the Puma and the Van Xi......"

"-In short, the way aliens communicate is different from humans, and there may be other old hatreds and new hatreds, future development, current cooperation, and so on to discuss, so it will take a few days." Ning 08 generalization. Although she said this to me, her eyes did not look at me. Maybe she, although she didn't show it, was actually just as embarrassed as I was.

"Then the problem has been satisfactorily solved!" Xiao Ming Xiaohong turned around in place lively, like a konjac jelly that had just been squeezed out, "My task has been completed, and then I will hand it over to Ning 08 you, treat him as a new resident of the gap and bring him into everyone's life!" Judging by the extent of the damage to the shuttle, he still has to stay here for a while. Oh, by the way, Ning 08's son, I still need to give this to you. ”

Xiao Ming Xiaohong turned to me, and suddenly everything was two, and from the fault in the middle, a ring-shaped object with a white halo was slowly pushed out.

"And then it."

I hesitated and reached out to the fault, and the ring quickly snapped into my right wrist, and then went all the way towards my arm, I tried to stop it, but I couldn't keep up with it, so I had to let it go.

"Hey, what is this?"

"Your chip, with this thing you can view other people's information and site information at any time, I don't have to explain many things to you one by one, the operation is very simple, you just need to read the chip silently in your heart, 'operation instructions'."

The chip stopped, automatically adjusting to fit the size of my arm, and I tried to turn it and push it, but found that I couldn't move it in the slightest.

“…… Oh, I have to go, there's a new guest in the passage. Ay. I've said it's a heavy burden now, don't just recruit the stars in, I need to talk to them, well, find a table, 'we need to talk' like that. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask your mother Ning 08 to go. I don't believe she can take care of you, but you don't have any other hope now. ”

After saying that, Xiao Ming Xiaohong disappeared without warning. In the quiet room, only me and Ning 08 looked at each other, and the embarrassment that was several times more than just now came like a tide.

"Uh, sit down."

Her voice became a little deeper, and the mother I knew well would only speak in such a "defensive" tone when facing strangers.

I followed her "instructions" and walked to the couch across from her, and was about to sit down when a translucent dialog box popped up in front of my eyes:

"Please enter your name."

Completely unprepared, I reflexively stepped back and tripped over the couch.

"What's wrong?"

"There's a prompt for me to enter my name......"

"Ah, yes, you don't know how to use the chip yet," Ning 08 sat up slightly straight, "All instructions to the chip are carried out directly through the brain, when you want to enter something, you directly think about 'input' in your head, and then silently read the words you want to enter and you can enter, the operation is the same as your voice operation of other things, the difference is only that here you can directly operate through your 'ideas', and you don't need your limbs to complete any actions." Of course, you can also change the operation mode in the settings panel to require the movement of the limbs. Once you've chosen a name, everything in the entire interface can be rearranged by yourself, including the pattern and style of the dialog. In order to solve the problem of difficult identification in the case of duplicate names, everyone will have their own name code, and the naming logic of this code is to add a word and a number in the name. Just like registering an email name, you can choose the character and number yourself, and if the system finds that the name is not occupied, you can use it as your own name. ”

According to what Ning 08 said,I tried to think"Enter the word 'he'",Something similar to an input method selection box immediately appeared in the input box in front of me,"And"The position is the third,When my eyes moved to the third "and" word,This word has been entered。

"What's the name you've given yourself?"

"Aya 17 bar...... "Anyway, I couldn't think of any number for a while, so I just chose a word in the name and added my age, and the system just showed that "the name is not used". So be it.

"And what is your full name?"

"And Ayarei."

"And Ayarei......" she nodded thoughtfully, "Is that my name?" ”

“…… I don't know. ”

"Okay...... Oh, it's good if you call me Ning 08 directly in the future, it will feel weird if you call me mom. ”

"Hmm."

"Once the name is decided, the activation of the chip is automatically completed and it is ready to use. I've already sent your contact information to you just now.,You can save it.,You can always find me if you have any questions in the future.,Of course,This string of instructions is also directly ordered by the brain.。 If you have any questions about this, just read them silently and the chip will automatically tell you the answer. Don't be afraid if you see someone on the road whose eyes suddenly turn white, that person is using a chip. ”

"So how can the chip tell if I'm thinking about a problem or asking it a question?"

"It can be recognized automatically, including when you give an order to it, and it uses the same distinction method to determine whether or not to execute the order. The chip is very closely connected with the nerves of the brain, so many people doubt its safety. But worry is worry, we have no solution, and it does exist to make life easier for humanity in the inter-chastic world. ”

"In that case, aren't you thinking that you know everything about chips? Even if you use the chip to manipulate you, you won't be able to find out, will you? ”

"Yes, that's why there's an organization called the 'Anti-Bracelet Association' in the Gaps, and they're working technology to make it possible for humans to enjoy the same quality of life without using the bracelets, and they're also working on the Encyclopedia of the Gaps. However, the association did not do a good job of publicity, resulting in a small number of members. Most people don't think about the threat, but they don't want to accept it because they are afraid of trouble. The sub-chasm is someone else's territory, and we can only comfort ourselves with the fact that the Poma people are not so boring, and go back to Earth if they are unhappy, but no one will do that. ”

Indeed, even if there are security risks in chips, there is no way to solve the problem with the current technological capabilities of human beings, let alone the situation on Earth is so chaotic.

"Learning to be flexible is your first lesson here." Ning 08 gave me a smile that didn't mean to smile. "Tell me about you, why are you here?"

I don't know how to answer the question of "......" for a while, because I am not sure if I can say this thing, and whether I should say it now, because under normal circumstances, these things should be done without the person concerned.

"Do you want to drink water? Or other beverages? Ning 08 handed over a cup of hot water, and he held a bottle of carrot juice in his hand. These drinks seem to have been conjured out of thin air, as there was nothing on the coffee table just now.

"Well, thank you, plain water will do."

I took the cup, and there was a faint lemon aroma in the water.

"I don't force you, but if it's something that needs my help, I think it's better to say it sooner. After all...... Now you see that situation on Earth. ”

She was right. Although according to common sense, this kind of action should hide its purpose so as not to startle the snake, but now I don't know where the grass is or where the snake is.

"Let's put it this way......" I thought for a moment how I could make this seem less stupid, "one day when I was staying at home, two groups of aliens came to visit me, both of them Van Xi people. The first one to come was called R5, and he claimed to be yours...... Uh, boyfriend, he's going to go back in time and chase you down again. The second group came M6 and M6-2, the two who traveled with me this time, and they said that if R5 succeeded, you would not be with my father, and I would not be born, and then I would disappear because of the conflict. In order to prevent this from happening, M6 and M6-2 said that they would take me back in time to stop R5, but they didn't know why they deviated from the course and came here...... In their words, it seems to be running the wrong timeline? ”

“R5？ I don't know someone named R5......" she raised her eyebrows, as if she were listening to someone else's gossip.

"It may not be polite to ask like this......" I don't understand why I should speak so politely to her, "You haven't been in a relationship yet?" ”

"Yes."

"You're really never in a relationship? Not since childhood? "Although my mother used to say that she had never been in a relationship when her classmates and children were all soy sauce, and that the final marriage partner was her first love, I, like most people, always thought that it was just a lie she made up to create a public image.

"Although no one believes it when it is said, it will always be considered that it is scheming and pretending to be innocent, but unfortunately this is the case. So I'm also curious about what kind of person I'm going to marry, uh, by the way, what kind of person is your dad? She carefully tightened her body.

"Actually...... I don't know who Dad is. ”

"Oh......" This answer made her a little discouraged, "Am I a single mother?" Having a child out of wedlock? This development doesn't sound good......"

"No, you're still married, but you divorced your father when I was very young."

"Oh...... Is he dumping me or am I dumping him? ”

"No...... I don't know...... "Although I always felt that it seemed like my father had dumped her, I was embarrassed to continue to hit her.

"That's it." She shook the carrot juice in her hand with a gloomy expression, "Forget it, I still don't ask about the future, the future is best only when it is unknown, at least there is hope in this way." ”

"Won't you doubt me? What if what I just said was made up for my own purposes? ”

"Was it a lie to me?" She asked, pouting.

“…… It's the truth...... But you don't ask much else, and you just believe it...... This is also ......"

"I've long since lost the interest in getting to the bottom of things. And I believe in the technology of the Puma Star people, since they say that you are my son, it must be the truth, as for the other issues, it is irrelevant. ”

"Even though I might force you to be with someone you don't like in the future?"

"Don't be stupid, why do you think I've never been in love?" She leaned over and stretched out her hand, rubbing my hair in the same way as Mirai, haphazard and casual, but gentle, "Your birth proves that I must like your father very much." ”
