"Want to understand the meaning of life?"

"Think...... Are you really alive?"

The hoarse tone rang out in the cramped, dilapidated house, and the woman lay flat on the bed, muttering questions that kept swirling in her head.

Turning to the side, I glanced at the electronic alarm clock at the head of the bed, and the upper right corner of the broken screen showed the nighttime temperature tonight: 19C.

"It's going to be autumn......."

The quilt was crumpled and piled aside, and there were a few autumn clothes that had just been taken out.

Outside the latched glass window, the sudden wind at dusk sounded panicked, and it was a little ridiculous that she had paid an extra 30 federal dollars in rent in order to rent the window, which barely allowed some sunlight to let in the sun.

Ping Pong~

A jumble of sounds came from above.

She knew that the man was doing low-level jobs in the industrial area, and the woman was making handicrafts at home, and since they were both healthy adults and financially sourced, they were not receiving benefits.

Although this so-called relief money is actually hovering on the border of dispensability.

"It can't go on like this......"

Suddenly getting up, the woman looked at her rough hands, her short and medium blond hair hung down in front of her eyes, she was silent for a while, and then accentuated her voice,

"It can't go on like this!"

"Drop~ A message from Mr. Raven. ”

The phone screen lights up.

"Lucy, I'll give you one last day to consider, do you want to come to my side to do things, your figure and appearance are not bad, and you haven't undergone prosthetic transformation, maybe you can do it in my field, and I try to make sure that I won't arrange some strange guests for you......"

"Get out!"

He roared in a deep voice, his hoarse voice full of exhaustion.

In this era, the demand for human resources in various factories has been pressed to a very low state, except for the management, the rest of all the machine assembly line is the norm, and some of the work that has to use manual work is often written in external recruitment will also be written with electronic brain people first.

It's not that Lucy doesn't want to pretend to be an electronic brain, it's that she doesn't have any money at all!

You can't even buy the lowest level, let alone go to a professional hospital for remodeling.

But the situation took a turn for the worse two days ago.

"Knock knock~"

There was a knock on the door.

"Lucy, are you ready?"

Familiar sounds.

When I got out of bed, I didn't even need to walk much, and I only took a few steps out and felt the doorknob.

Standing outside were her few friends.

With colorful skin and features full of metal rings, this kind of curious dress has been very popular in their area recently.

"Let's go. ”

The night wind was a little cold, and Lucy walked into the corridor with her arms and body shrunk.

The light bulb, which emits the only dim light source, sways in the corridor in the wind, and looks up to the southeast, where the brilliant neon lights are particularly dazzling.

"This damn world!"

The companion next to him complained.

Lucy thought the same thing, and soon thought of the letter of intent and the volunteer form for the transformation.

Maybe something will change after tonight?

......

Prosperous~

The third muffled thunder of the morning.

Recently, it is the beginning of autumn, and the weather forecast indicates that there may be intermittent rain for the next period.

Zhu Jue took the water cup and looked at the imprint he had left on the waterbed and was gradually recovering, the villa he bought at dusk, and he stayed that night.

As for those things in the Heywood District, the important ones are in the space ring, and the unimportant thing is to let Lishana find a place to dispose of them directly.

Speaking of which, that room was left by the Great Race for himself, so Zhu Jue had no intention of selling it, thinking that if the Great Race came across time on a whim one day, the two sides might be able to see each other again.

Walking out of the bedroom to the edge of the balcony outside, the protective dome on the outside of the entire villa has been unfolded, and the temperature is automatically adjusted to a comfortable 26C, which was originally intended to simulate the effect of a sunny day, but Zhu Jue refused.

The seasons are like spring and can only make people feel empty, and the occasional gloom can also be regarded as a spice.

Whoop~whoa~

Wind chimes are playing in the pool next to it, and the most exciting thing about changing to a spacious environment is probably it, running around in this villa to confirm their new territory and release their excess energy at the same time.

Turning around and snapping his fingers, there was a layer of water in the pool that held up the wind chimes, and the latter jumped on it for a while and then ran to Zhu Jue's side to spin.

Holding a wide towel to dry the wind chimes, it didn't like the hum of the hair dryer, so Zhu Jue had to do it himself.

"Let's go, let's eat. ”

Patting the back of the wind chime's neck, he went back to the bedroom to change his clothes, and he had to go downstairs for breakfast.

Because the huge villa doesn't even have android servants, it was originally planned to arrange a few according to Lishana's intentions, but considering his own situation, Zhu Jue still refused, because today's bionic people have their own hue value detection function when they are manufactured, which is a popular design to protect the safety of the owner, but unfortunately it is a bit chicken for Zhu Jue.

Although Zhu Jue can find someone to turn off this part of the function, this kind of behavior itself has some meaning that there is no silver three hundred taels here.

"If only Wendy were still around. ”

Standing in the downward elevator, Zhu Jue subconsciously thought that if the lotus leaf or the sycamore brought Wendy out, he might not have to think about this kind of thing now.

Wendy knew her eating habits and was familiar with her own schedule, and she was perfect in every way during that time.

In fact, there are times when she doesn't act like a robot perfectly.

This statement may be a bit strange, human beings always think that there are no perfect creatures in this world, but in many cases, the standard for androids is to be absolutely close to humans, and to take human words and deeds as their standard, as if to completely change the imperfection of living beings in androids.

"Heh~ how is it possible. ”

Zhu Jue muttered to himself a little funny, threw out the unrealistic ideas in his mind, raised his feet and walked into the shopping mall that had been contracted by himself, and found a breakfast shop to sit down.

While drinking milk, Lisanna's communication request flashed on the screen of her mobile phone, and she glanced at the time, it was only 7 o'clock in the morning, scratched her head helplessly, swallowed most of the remaining half of the meat bun in one bite under the shocked expression of a little girl next to her, and got up and walked back while chewing.

"Boss, there's news about the killing game. ”

Lisanna's words were simple and straightforward.

"So fast?"

The news that Lishana was spread yesterday was not expected by Zhu Jue today, after all, it was the Yimeng who had been investigating it for nearly half a month, and he thought that he would also spend some time.

"I was contacted by someone from the club late last night who said they knew about the game and had participated in it, and I thought you should be on a break so I didn't contact you until this morning. ”

"Well, what did he say?"

"He wants to see you, and says he has to tell you in person...... He's only recently joined the club, and he's only attended one party, but he's passionate about soul liberation. ”

Obviously, the insider wanted to exchange his information for a private encounter with the hermit, most likely in exchange for some special items.

"Can you be sure of the truth of his words?"

"It should be true, some of the information he revealed is not much more than what we know now. ”

"Alright then, I'll go back to Dawn City later, you can arrange it. ”

The face-to-face interview here naturally refers to the face-to-face communication between the two people through the Internet, rather than meeting in a real environment.

Zhu Jue has just taken over the identity of a gentleman's hermit, and he has recently become familiar with this aspect of affairs through Lishana, so it is naturally not suitable for him to get in close contact with these club members at this time, otherwise it is easy to be exposed.

It only takes half an hour to take an empty boat between Greene City and Dawning City, so before 8 o'clock, Zhu Jue appeared at the door of the Dawning City Archaeological Association.

Why come here?

Because the translation results from August's side were sent to Zhu Jue's mobile phone last night.

Some of the contents need to borrow information from the Society, Auguste is sensitive to his identity, and the headquarters of the Archaeological Society is fully investigating the robbery in the ruins, they suspect that there are internal leakers, in order to avoid suspicion, he has to avoid checking the contents of the ruins in the database in the near future.

After all, as one of the core figures of the archaeological association, his every move has always attracted the attention of many people.

There was no way, Zhu Jue had to do it himself.

"The success of clay puppets is also expensive, expensive and cheap, and there are scholars and women. Its soil, its loam, people. The withered turtle has no self, can see the great knowledge, the magnet has no self, can see the might, the bell and drum have no self, can see the big sound, the boat and the car have no self, can see the distance. Therefore, although I am wise and powerful, and I have deeds and sounds, I have not tasted me...... Tsk, I knew that I should have learned more classical Chinese in the first place. ”

Sitting in the main seat of Olivia's office, Zhu Jue held a note in his left hand, a pen in his right hand, and a mobile phone placed horizontally in front of him, showing the content sent by Auguste, a series of ancient texts, all of which needed him to translate and conduct secondary research based on the content in some archaeological materials.

"When you sit down quietly and do your academic research, I have to open the window to see if there is any sun in the west. ”

Olivia, who was carrying breakfast, came in from the door, stood behind Zhu Jue, stared at his handwriting for a few seconds as she spoke, and then grinned,

"You earthworm-crawling handwriting, you might as well use voice input. ”

"You call this voyeurism, be careful that I call the police to arrest you, go to the other side!"

Reaching out and pressing on Olivia's lower back to push her away, Zhu Jue said without raising his head.

He wanted to voice input, but the problem was that if these contents were read out and heard by people nearby, it was estimated that he would be the one who called the police to arrest him.

Olivia was not annoyed, she pulled a chair from the side to the opposite side, and ate breakfast slowly, the working hours of the archaeological association here are 9 to 5, the standard civil servant schedule, she is just bored at home to come over to see what business to deal with, who would have thought that there is an earlier one than her.
