Chapter 51: Insignificant
Today is the second day that the forced return signal on the helmet has failed, and yesterday I wandered outside pressing the return button until dark and could not be sent back, so I had to go to Liyue again to take refuge. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
I was going to return to the sub-gap and throw the memories related to R5 in the Moonglow Spring Valley to escape the psychological discomfort at the moment. But the heavens seemed to be deliberately working against me, cutting off my back road, and now I had to face up to this suffocation in my entire chest.
Li Yue didn't ask much about me in the face of the lost soul, and when he sent us out of the research institute before, he had already guessed the result from my words of pretending to be calm. He consciously left me alone in the "bedroom" where I had slept last time, so that I had enough time to immerse myself in self-pity, and finally cried until I fell asleep. If it were me in the past, I would never have imagined that I would have such a gaffe one day.
From the time I fell asleep to the time I woke up, I was alone in the room, and I hope he didn't come in.
When I woke up, I lay in bed for a moment, and then I felt like I was in the mood to pretend that nothing had happened. After all, it's past the age when people usually want to die and live for love, and I've never liked anyone so crazy, maybe my youth is really not complete.
Leaving the room, I shuffled through the empty corridor of the underground research institute, trying to find him in Ritsuki's "studio", perhaps to prove to him that I was okay, or perhaps to find someone to talk to and distract me.
But he was not in that empty, monotonous, boring room, full of things I didn't know what I didn't know the purpose of.
Now, I'm alone.
I turned back into the hallway, and in the silence that obliterated all sounds, I felt not eerie, but the loneliness of the place.
Ritsuki isn't a likable guy, but if I waited here alone for so long like him, I'm afraid my personality would be much more twisted than his.
I tried to push open the hallway doors to find him, and I passed a laboratory full of bottles and cans, a granary with unopened food, a spotless bathroom, a room of various metal materials arranged by category, and a library-like place.
Compared to the futuristic feel of the other rooms in this institute, this library is really like an antique, with rows of wooden bookshelves neatly divided into three rows, arranged in layers and backwards, reminiscent of the mini-library in elementary school. Even more bizarre are the "books" on the shelves, all of which are huge yellowed notepads and envelope bags, more like archives.
I took out a few books and flipped through them, and at first glance the contents were just ordinary orphanage logs, but the orphanage that can appear here in the archives is probably the orphanage that Li Yue mentioned before that it was used to send samples to the "Son of God".
A common feature of these files is that the children in them do not have their own names until they reach adulthood, only code names, and when they become adults, they are eligible to name themselves in their preferred language, or they can choose names in several different languages. Perhaps that's why the Sons of God gave the immigrants of Asia the way they now name them.
These observation logs are divided vertically into different containment facilities and horizontally by year, as if the Children of God were originally raised in institutions scattered around the world. The records in the observation diary are all based on the numerical code, and it is impossible to tell who is who when you look at it, and behind these three rows of bookshelves, there is a whole row of experimental records, some of which are recorded by human names, and some are still numeric codes.
"On October 21st, 999 scored highest in the routine experiment, however, it had a heavier paranoia, always thinking that it had parents, and its usability still needs to be evaluated.
On October 24, 2,589 were wounded with knives, 3 were killed and 35 were wounded. It was determined that he had strong violent tendencies and was detained in a correctional room, where he was abandoned.
On October 25, 2589 absconded after killing two caregivers.
On October 26, 5887, who had been missing for a week before, was found, and it was determined that he had a mental breakdown due to long-term abuse, and was transferred to the nearest psychiatric hospital, which has been abandoned.
On October 27, 2577 was found to be pregnant during a routine physical examination, and it was confessed that the biological father should be 2631, and we will decide whether to transfer the fetus to the orphanage based on the merits of the fetus after delivery.
On October 28, 2721 was found to have committed suicide by cutting his wrists, and rescue efforts failed.
On October 29, 2589 were killed.
β¦β¦β
I was about to flip through the November records when there was a knock on the door that scared me so much that I almost tore a page.
"You're scared the hell out of me." Anyway, it was discovered, and I calmly put the file back.
To my surprise, he didn't mean to reproach me for messing with things. "You've come to your senses?"
"That's it...... Where have you been? β
"Regular patrols to see if the institute is functioning properly, if there is any serious damage or something. Are you interested in these? He flicked his fingers at the file bag on the shelf.
"I don't think I should see these things?"
"It's not an important document, it's just something that doesn't make sense anymore. Besides, we are now in a cooperative relationship and we should trust each other. He leaned against the door, "Actually, I think the Van Xi Xingren agreed too quickly. β
"Immortal aliens don't need a reason to do everything, and it's probably just a part of entertainment for them. Positively thinking, maybe Van Xi is not such a utilitarian planet. Negatively, even if they could change their minds at any time, it's not something you can control. Do you have any chips that are attractive enough for them to restrain them and make sure they don't change their minds? β
Li Yue lowered her head and thought seriously for a while.
"Everything I can think of that can be 'given' on Earth should be of little importance to them."
"So, to think about this is to get yourself in trouble. Make good use of every day when they haven't changed their hexagrams, and it's true. β
"According to you, I should be working hard day and night now."
"I'm trying to persuade you to go with the flow."
"Sounds more like resignation."
"Don't go from one extreme to the other." Seeing that Riyue didn't mean to stop it, I pulled another book from the shelf, "Is the file of the orphanage you were there too?" β
"You want to see it?"
"It's always fun to see files related to people you know."
"I don't have my file here, I'm the one who grew up directly with Swenson."
"So, tell us about your past? For example, with the Holy Glass? β
I was hesitant to mention Yu Baiyuan to Liyue. If I made a mistake and gave Liyue hope and finally made him happy, it would be a bit cruel. But if they were really the same person, Riyue would be very happy, right? But from the look in Aya 17's eyes, I could feel a kind of fascination. It doesn't seem appropriate to find out the situation and make the two of them rivals in love.
Just as there was a fierce battle of thoughts in my mind, Ritsuki opened her mouth.
"There's really nothing to reminisce. I don't have a household registration, I'm a 'non-existent person', I spent most of my childhood doing experiments, and the entertainment of ordinary children is put on me, and it is also part of the experiment for the institute, especially after the merging of the body of the, in their eyes I am obviously another creature that doesn't matter how I treat it. After the experiment, I couldn't play with the others, both boys and girls, they liked to tease me, and only Shengli would stand up and help me talk. β
"So you like her?" It sounds like a very clichΓ© "hero saves beauty" plot.
"It's a normal thing to like Shengli, not only is she beautiful, but her IQ is also the highest among these children of God, and most importantly, she is kinder than these children of God, she may be the only son of God who really cares about the survival and safety of ordinary humans. I've always longed for her, and I've worked hard to get a little closer to her level, but after all, ...... Still not worthy of her. After all, those sons of the gods were right in the past, I was only an inferior product with good luck. She's so perfect, she needs a perfect man to match. β
"Is there such a perfect male among the sons of God, then?"
"Nope." Liyue replied without thinking.
"Created perfect human beings are not perfect, how can other ordinary human beings be perfect? Maybe even the holy glass has shortcomings that you don't know about. Before you give up, you should at least find out if you really don't have a chance of winning. β
"Perhaps, I've always worshipped her as an 'idol'. In fact, until I became an adult, I would wear women's clothes from time to time, I don't know if I am a normal transvestite or gender identification disorder, Swenson told me that I was supposed to be a woman, but due to an unknown mistake, I was born with male reproductive organs, and I grew up to be neither male nor female. I've always been fond of women's clothes since I was a child, and I have always understood that I am not a product that meets the 'requirements', and it is probably because of this that I am particularly attracted to the perfect holy glass. Perfect facial features, perfect figure, perfect intelligence, mature rationality, almost robotic precision, even among such a group of wonderful women, she is a particularly perfect ......" he said, his voice began to sink, "I'm sorry to let you hear something boring, I'd better go first, you take your time." β
I grabbed him, "I want you to say it, you haven't finished speaking, what are you leaving?" β
"The average person should think transvestites are disgusting."
"It's not disgusting to look like you," I confessed, "I think you're too inferior, and while the men in your photo are all good-looking, none of them interest me." There is a world of difference between people's preferences, maybe Shengli is not as you think, only likes perfect people. Most people can be impressed at a glance when they see that photo, only you and Shengli are right? β
"Except for the Son of God, that picture is only seen by you, and this so-called 'majority' does not exist."
"Okay, well, that's that I didn't think you were worthy of her at all after I saw that picture."
"Even if it's just a compliment, I think I should thank you formally?"
"No need, I'm not used to you being so polite."
"However, if possible, I hope you can keep this matter a secret for me, almost no one knows about it."
"Okay, the price is to show me women's clothes next time."
Li Yue's face flushed.
"You're ......"
I couldn't continue admiring his embarrassment, when a heart-pounding siren rang out from the studio next to me.
"Found here?"
"No...... Hexahedron received the message. β
Ritsuki tensed her face and quickly returned to the studio, and I followed behind him, seeing the hexahedron on his desk glowing red. Ritsuki picked it up and turned to the blank wall, where a row of numbers was projected.
β120563123β¦β¦ Is this a password? β
Similar numbers were still being projected, and Riyue quickly typed them into the computer.
"What can you think of?"
"Uh...... IP address? Password? File number? β
ββ¦β¦ In short, it won't be a formula. β
