Chapter 2: Is Eternal Life a Form of Torture?

A flash of chagrin flashed in the driver's eyes when he heard this, but in an instant he said as usual: "Sir, you are laughing." ”

I don't think I've missed any flaws.

Thirty seconds later, the magnetic vehicle drove autonomously to the Eternal Life Building with the driver's cold corpse, and a little grain of sand wafted out of the air, and wisps of fresh blood rolled up.

Lu Li looked up at the miserable white sky, as if he saw countless souls who had come to die one after another.

"Alas, why bother. ”

β€”β€”

In a dilapidated warehouse on the waterfront in Toyo Ward, two workers dressed in rags are repairing some kind of machine.

In the nearly 500 years of extreme biotechnology and cell engineering, robots that have worked hard and made no revolution have completely replaced the existence of the working class, so it is strange that there are two pure humans in this warehouse.

One of the workers suddenly raised his head, his heavy lenses covered with dust, but his eyes as sharp as a falcon were clearly visible.

"Comrade Ikeda died. He said expressionlessly, and after saying this, he continued to bury his head in disassembling a palm-sized precision chip.

Another worker got up from his shabby chair and walked out of the warehouse without saying a word, his pace neither slow nor slow, and his breathing was a little short.

......

"Beep!"

The screech of an old-fashioned key card rang out, and the villa's dark black alloy door opened.

What catches your eye is a retro-style living room with a sofa, coffee table, monitor, and wardrobe.

There was also a plump woman standing in the villa, who looked to be about twenty-five or sixteen years old, except for a black hair, the woman's whole body was snow-white, and her face was beautiful and vulgar, but there was a layer of blood missing between her skin, and she looked unusually pale.

"Midnight, I miss you!" Lu Li shouted loudly at the first sight of the woman, tears overflowing from his eyes without hesitation, as if he had forgotten that he had just experienced a life-and-death struggle.

There is no wind and sand in the villa, so this time it was real tears.

The woman opposite smiled gently, and there was tenderness buried in her beautiful eyes.

Lu Li rushed over and hugged Midnight tightly, buried his head in the woman's chest and was reluctant to move, he said indistinctly: "Midnight, one hundred and three years without me, you must be very lonely!"

Midnight did not resist the childlike rudeness of the villa owner at all, she stroked the man's messy hair like a mother, and replied gently: "Anne has turned me off for more than a hundred years, and I don't understand what it feels like to be lonely. ”

Yes, she's just an old-fashioned robot, how can she understand the complex emotions of loneliness?

Lu Li suddenly raised his head, he stared at the robot woman's eyes with a serious face and said, "I won't leave this time, let's get married!"

There was a sparkle in his eyes that had never been seen before.

Midnight's smile remained unchanged, and Lu Li, who was as tall as himself, replied, "Okay!"

Lu Li held Midnight's hand, the woman's palm was a little cold because it had just been restarted, but he happily planned: "Wait for a year to get married, and then I will invite celebrities from all over the Federation to cheer us on, and see who dares not to give me face......"

The night is getting darker, there are no stars and no warm breeze outside the window, and there are just countless yellow sands.

The spacious bedroom has nothing but a double bed, not even decent furniture, and looks very empty and deserted.

The villa has three floors with a total of nine bedrooms, eight of which are furnished like this, and it is estimated that the only furniture is placed in the living room.

Lu Li turned his head and said softly to the beautiful woman lying beside him, "Good night." ”

"Good night. The woman's eyes lost their sparkle.

Midnight is an old-fashioned intelligent robot, so it has to be charged every night, and Anne took a lot of effort to install various cables for the only resident of this grassland.

There was a dark silence in the room, and a pair of pupils roamed back and forth in the darkness, as if tired.

Lu Li doesn't need to sleep, but he's not a standard "human".

The sound of squirming sounded, not that he was making any small moves to Midnight, but that he was pulling out the two soft wires in the citizen's magnetic card.

The soft wire looped around his head, and the magnetic card in front of his forehead emitted a faint green glow.

Close your eyes, the fully immersive ecosystem is presented in the user's shallow consciousness, and then break open your eyes, as if you have traveled to another world.

It's a spacious movie theater, and in front of the screen there is only a huge gold-trimmed sofa on which Lu Li sits.

As soon as the thought moved, the set circuit of definite thinking was triggered, and two large red characters began to appear on the screen.

【Eternal Life】

There's also a line of small print below,

When Anne was in the company, she told him that the truth was hidden in "Eternal".

Since she said so, he believed it, and he never questioned Anne's words.

He had spent 271 years in the most advanced laboratories in the subregion, not studying something, but as an experiment.

Every day, newly developed biochemical agents are injected into his veins, and every small organ in his body is dissected thousands of times, and he is Dr. Komatsubara's best experiment.

In the final analysis, Lu Li is the biggest "hero" of the new cell project.

In 2305, it was Anne who rescued him from hell, and after that he did a lot for Anne and killed a lot of people, damned, undamned, good, and bad.

But he never thought he was done with this kindness, which was why his attitude changed sharply after Anne said that sentence.

"Is this time another puzzle game?" Lu Li guessed while opening the Immortal Forum, as long as there are people, there will be groups, and as long as there are groups, there will be communication circles similar to forums.

[Shocked!The man was silent, and the woman was in tears!The ultimate boss hidden in "Eternal" turned out to be it!]

Lu Li clicked on the personal information of the landlord, and then quickly chose to block it, and easily chose to report it, because "Eternal" is not a traditional monster fighting game, where did the boss come from?

Sure enough, the moment the block was blocked, the post of the forum was immediately refreshed downward, and it was obvious that the landlord had made a lot of spam posts.

[Discussion: Will the new humans gain a great advantage in Eternal Life?]

It's a hot topic, and there is no shortage of professionals in the replies within the post.

"Whether at the genetic level or from a macroscopic point of view, it is clear that new humans are more capable of adapting to new environments than humans, and they are also intellectually superior to humans. ”————5203218764

Since the game character has not yet been created, the person's nickname is a string of numbers.

"The one upstairs is the new human, right?

"Report the first floor!"

"Reported, blocked, blocked!"

He admired with interest the farce sparked by a single post, which had happened countless times since the Confederacy's inception.

When humans can't justify their stupidity, they tend to choose to address the person who raised the problem rather than improve themselves.

Of course, there is no shortage of truly wise people among human beings, but just as the truth is often in the hands of a few, the proportion of wise people is also very small.

["Eternal" pioneered the intelligent robot game mode, does this indicate Annie's political leanings?]

Before "Eternal Life", intelligent robots were not qualified for game entertainment, but the game of Eternal Life spends a lot of resources to build a new induction radio wave mode for intelligent people.

There is no doubt that this is the right that Anne has won for intelligent people.

"There will indeed be some fairness in the participation of intelligent people in the game, but if the landlord evaluates Princess Anne based on this matter alone, it is a little too hasty. ”

"With all due respect, it is we pure humans who maintain and update Princess Anne on weekdays, and the intelligent and new humans do not have the slightest authority to interfere in Anne's decision-making. ”

"Quietly reveal a piece of news, my friend is a senior agent, and our Jiuxia District has won more permission to Princess Anne, and it has reached 30% to surpass the Oriental District next door!"

Judging from the comments of many players in the Nine Summer District, they are obviously extremely supportive of Annie, and they are not worried about robots taking over the world at all.

This has a lot to do with the history of the Federation.

Lu Li returned to the interface, his expression was extremely serious, and his brain activity went from extremely low to high load in an instant!

He apparently mastered a method of extreme control over the human body.

Since the founding of the Confederacy in 2350, the definition of the word "human" is no longer limited to a single type of living being, and the distinction is no longer based on skin color.

Human: With ancient blood flowing through them, they wield high authority and privilege in the federal government.

Intelligent Robots: Completely taken over the working class, poorly treated but fully respected by humans, diligently building the Federation and serving humanity under the leadership of Anne.

New Humans: Conceptually perfect humans designed by New Protein Engineering and New Cell Engineering, with the best genes among human beings, and the intelligence and physical strength of most individuals are stronger than human beings, but because of the existence of some of these aliens, they are discriminated against by humans, and are at the lowest level of the Federation.
