Act Eighty-Nine. Olufi Lockhart has a dream
Bai Ge has the memory of the appearance of other people, so he judged it at the first time, and the woman in the photo was almost the same as the appearance of Halleyson.
At the same time, he looked up at the old woman sitting behind the counter.
Although she is old and time flies, Bai Ge can still recognize that she is seven points similar to the person in the photo, if Halleyson can grow old, she will probably look like the old woman in front of her.
"Prototype ......"
The prototype she was referring to was probably the first generation of practical alchemy dolls designed by Director Olufei based on her at that time?
"That guy is a research-obsessed guy, and he's preferred to be around inanimate alchemy dolls over humans, since his student days."
The old woman smiled and said as if remembering.
"My name is Enya, and I used to be a colleague of Olufei."
Bai Ge searched for memory, but he didn't have the memory of this name.
Judging by the time, this was at least a few decades ago, perhaps before Director Olufei created the Three Laws of Alchemy Dolls.
Could it be ......
Bai Ge quickly made up a paragraph of the entanglement plot in which Curator Olufei and Granny Enya met when they were young, and studied alchemy dolls together, but then Granny Enya was robbed of her technological achievements, and finally survived in this dilapidated city.
By the way, there are two researchers, one in the official and the other in the people, and the two compete with each other to continue the victory and defeat to the royal plot of the younger generations.
"Don't look at me like that, I just got tired of living in the Academy of Natural Sciences, so I left there, returned to my hometown, and opened such a shop."
Old Lady Enya seemed to see through Bai Ge's thoughts.
"AD01, the prototype of this model was developed by me and Olufei, due to his bad taste, so the alchemy dolls in this series are all maid costumes, and the guy also proposed to use my appearance as the original prototype, I once suspected that he just wanted to see me wear a maid costume at that time."
“...... Truly. ”
Thinking of the appearance of the librarian who was not doing his job, Bai Ge felt that it was very possible.
However, Helletson is a model produced ten years ago, and judging from the tone of Enya's old woman's voice, they collaborated at least twenty or thirty years ago, and Olufei created the three laws of alchemy dolls forty years ago, so the time seems to be a little wrong?
"There's still a long way to go from prototype to commercialization, lad."
The old woman said quietly, and then turned the page of the book in front of her.
"It's better to show you directly."
As she turned the page, a picture suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ge's eyes, which was in a messy laboratory full of old electronic devices and wiring, and two young people were busy in front of the monitor.
“...... I said that your code is not good, it is too verbose, and there is a more streamlined way to implement it, so why do you have to use such a troublesome and ancient way. ”
The woman has pale blonde hair, deep purple eyes, and is holding a coffee cup in one hand and dragging the complex computer code on the screen with the other hand.
"You call it opportunistic, although there will be no problem under the current framework, but if someone changes the underlying framework, or with the increase of data in the future, it is very likely that there will be errors, although the implementation method I am using now is very cumbersome, but it is very thorough, and it will definitely not be a problem."
On the other side, the glasses-wearing, green-eyed young Curator Olufi kept his eyes off the screen, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard.
There is a wiring in the computer connected to the experiment box next to it, and in the middle of the experiment box, in the circuit board, there is a crimson stone.
This is an imitation of the Philosopher's Stone, which is expensive and is the central component that drives the action of the alchemy puppet.
"What I want to accomplish is a foolproof insurance now and in the future, and if it can be successful, then the alchemy dolls can be mass-produced and affordable for every household."
Olufei said as he lifted his glasses.
"Your love for alchemy dolls is really deep."
Enya laughed, put down the cup, and asked as if remembering something.
"I heard that the lab next door introduced you to a nice girl, how are you dating?"
"Huh? Have it? ”
Olufe paused, as if recalling, and then suddenly said "ah" before speaking.
"That girl, it's really strange, I just asked her some questions about the implementation of the alchemy puppet's behavior pattern when I was drinking afternoon tea, and she actually stood up and walked away, completely ignoring the current young people."
“...... Deserve. ”
Enya twitched the corners of her mouth.
"Obviously a very powerful upgrader, knowledgeable, and good-looking, why don't you have a girl like you don't have a little bit in your heart?"
"Girls like it? Why do I want girls to like it, as long as there are alchemy dolls. ”
Olufi asked curiously.
"However, I am very happy if I can get the favor of that one."
He said again.
"Is that delusion again?"
Enya smiled.
"You said that when you were a child, you once saw a beautiful big sister in the Library of Alexandria and lent you a book, but there are no beautiful big sisters in the library, only uncles and aunts who sweep the floor, and work-study students."
"Oh, you won't understand, that lady, no, goddess, is like a real god, not even a god, so to speak, she is the meaning of my existence in the world!"
Olufei was quite excited.
"So, my goal is very simple, as long as I can implement these three laws at the code level, then I can become a scholar and have my own tower in the school city, and then, I will enter the Library of Alexandria, become the director, and then replace all the staff of the library with alchemy dolls, well, alchemy dolls in maid outfits, so that I can find that lady!"
“...... Let me remind you, it's still daytime. ”
Enya complained.
"Besides, you let the alchemy puppet wear a maid costume, why do you use my face as a template for the prototype?"
"Because I think it's definitely funny how you look in a maid's costume, especially with the way you carry your skirt with an expressionless face like an alchemy doll."
Olufei said solemnly.
"Die!"
Enya casually threw something over, but was caught by Olufi.
"However, doing research for this kind of thing is really your style......
She smiled helplessly, and glanced at Olufei, who continued to work hard.
The picture flows, this time in a park, the same Enya and Olufei, but both of them have matured a lot, and it seems that some time has passed.
"Congratulations, you have successfully realized the Three Laws of Alchemy Dolls, promoted to the [Sage's Legacy], and become one of the scholars, your dream is estimated to come true soon."
Enya has changed into an ordinary woman's long dress, showing a different charm in the autumn park, under the fluttering leaves.
"If those judges knew that you were actually just doing this to get the entire library staff to change into alchemy dolls in maid costumes, I don't know what kind of expression would be on their faces."
"Are you really leaving?"
Olufei, who was still wearing a lab coat, was not in the mood to joke, but asked.
"Yes, I feel too tired to do academics, I want to take a break, go to travel, find a small city to settle down, and live a normal life."
Enya laughed, turning her gaze back to the falling leaves.
"The more I am with you, the more I can feel the limits of ordinary people, it is too difficult to keep up with you, and besides, your eyes are always on the farthest place, and you will not notice the situation of the people around you at all."
“...... If you leave, there will be no one to do the assistant's work, and I'll be very troubled. ”
Olufei said as if he remembered something.
"You can make an alchemy doll to help you, it looks just like me anyway."
Enya replied jokingly.
"Although there are three laws of alchemy dolls, I estimate that it will take many years to verify and test, as well as the actual use, although you are a smart person and know everything about alchemy dolls, but you still lack the common sense of human society, and many things can not be achieved by doing them."
She admonished again.
"I'll make it happen."
Olufi doesn't seem to be worried about any of that.
"Okay, I should go, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Enya stood up and turned around, the hem of her skirt slightly raised, the tips of her pale gold supple hair swaying, and her deep purple eyes reflected Olufei's appearance.
“......”
Olufei stopped talking, but finally chose to remain silent.
"Then I'll go, I hope there will be a date later, by the way, your book is quite interesting, and I will return it to you when I finish researching it."
Enya said, and then left, without looking back.
Only Olufei remained, sitting on a bench and not moving for a long time.
After reading this, Bai Ge couldn't hold back the urge to complain in his heart.
It turns out that Director Olufei was such a straight man when he was young, and he can't see the appearance of this LSP painter who likes the theme of children driving big cars now?
However, his love for alchemy dolls has not changed at all.
The woman Director Olufi saw in the Library of Alexandria as a child, was it Ravlanzer?
So from the emergence of the three laws of alchemy puppets to the real popularization and practical use of alchemy dolls, there has been a gap of at least twenty years...... It was ten years before the production of the Helaison model, and I don't know if the old lady Enya knew about it at that time.
Also, the book that Director Olufei got from that woman was the Book of the Dead?
Wait, the book was taken away by Granny Enya, meaning it should be here now?
Bai Ge came back to his senses and wanted to ask more, but he found that the old man in front of him was gone.
There was only one book spread out, lying quietly on the table.
Bai Ge looked at the photo in his hand, the two of them with serious expressions were like yesterday, he came to the side of the book and closed it.
The cover, the unknown text, although Bai Ge doesn't recognize it, can also see that this is the same kind of text as several other monster books.
“...... In other words, Granny Enya has actually ......"
Bai Ge quickly guessed the development of things.
After saying goodbye to Curator Olufei, Lady Enya returned to the city of New Macedonia, and then, without any contact with the other party, decades passed in a flash.
In the end, she died here, and her last will was accepted by the Book of the Dead, and she became the undead who lived in the book.
Maybe it's because Bai Ge has the aura of Director Olufei and Rafflanzer that he was chosen by this "Book of the Dead".
Even this shop may be an illusory projection created by the Book of the Dead.
Bai Ge opened the book and saw the blood stain on the title page, he reached out and tore it off, and the book quickly turned to ashes as if it had long since decayed.
At the same time, the entire shop also faded rapidly, and Bai Ge saw that it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, the corners were covered with cobwebs, and the shelves were full of dust.
The book is probably hidden somewhere here, or this shop has been hidden in the alleys of New Macedonia by the Book of the Dead, waiting to be found.
At the same time, Bai Ge also noticed one thing, that is, when the old woman Enya said goodbye to Director Olufei, it should have been nearly forty years ago, and the "Book of the Dead" that Ralphlanzer said was taken out of Alexandria ten to fifteen years ago.
In other words, after saying goodbye to Curator Olufei, Lady Enya did not travel or go anywhere else as she said, but stayed in Alexandria until more than ten years ago, that is, the AD01 designed by Director Oluffi was produced, and the alchemy doll made by Lady Enya herself was produced, and she left silently.
During this period, in the past 20 years, Director Olufei may not know that the old lady Enya is still in Alexandria, and has been watching him become the number one person in the school city step by step, replacing the library staff with alchemy dolls in maid costumes, and watching alchemy dolls that look similar to himself enter thousands of homes.
“...... It's not a fun story, and that guy probably won't like it. ”
Bai Ge thought of Ravlanzer's evaluation of the Book of the Dead.
The will of the old woman Enya on this has disappeared with the information that was just conveyed to Bai Ge, and now, it is just the remnant of the ownerless transcendent item.
"There are alchemy dolls patrolling the streets, it doesn't seem to be suitable for rash appearances......
When Bai Ge walked out of the store, he saw the black riot alchemy puppet maintaining law and order on the street, as if he was catching the prisoner who had attacked the hotel just now.
But Bai Ge knew that once Yassen Hercule showed up, these alchemy puppets would shoot him mercilessly, regardless of whether it would affect other people.
“...... It seems that another way will have to be found. ”
Bai Ge had already made a decision in his heart.
