"I want to have four mes, one doing things, one dreaming, one reading, and one writing stories." Liu Ziru inexplicably remembered this fantasy when he was a child, but he didn't expect that one day his dream would come true.

Two huge capsules sit next to each other, arm-thick cables connecting the two sides.

"That's the pottery puppet." Pointing to the humanoid object in the other warehouse, Turtledove said, "It's amazing, isn't it, the soul is recreated, which can greatly reduce the mortality rate of the people in the inner world." Of course, the cost is not low. ”

Liu Ziru lay into the empty machine, after he lay down, the turtledove closed the hatch, a visible plasma swept over his head, he felt that he was in a strong electric field, and every hair on his body stood up.

"Ding!" A microwave-like prompt sounded. Liu Ziru's hatch opened, and the white mist poured out, and he suddenly felt that it was a bit like steamed steamed buns coming out of the cage.

"Okay?" Liu Ziru asked.

"Alright." Turtledove said, with her voice, she pressed the button of the machine next to her, and it was the effect of steamed buns out of the steamer, and a person who was almost exactly the same as Liu Ziru stood in front of Liu Ziru.

The only way to distinguish between the two is that Liu Ziru is wearing clothes, and the replica opposite it is not wearing clothes.

Well.

How to say.

Even though the turtledove is also a replicant, it is not itself that is naked, but a replica of itself. However, Liu Ziru still felt a great degree of shame.

"Isn't he naked like this?" Liu Ziru asked.

"Well, it's okay. If you've ever been exposed to the puppet *** karma, you know it's not a big deal. Turtledove said.

"Really?" Liu Ziru just made up for the brain to make up for whether there would be such a thing, but I didn't expect it to really exist.

"Yes, but it's mostly smuggling. There are also idols and celebrities in the world, and there is also a person who is the lover of many people's dreams. Where there is demand, there is buying, and where there is buying, there is killing. Ever since the puppet appeared, this kind of thing has been repeatedly banned. Isn't it funny that the people of the world are responsible for protecting the peace of the world of the world, but something like this happens. ”

Liu Ziru didn't laugh, although he was also standing opposite him, but he didn't know what he thought.

It stands to reason that when copying a puppet, you can issue a task to the puppet who is about to be copied by constantly thinking about something. When the puppet appears, it will go to complete this task.

However, Liu Ziru didn't think about anything just now, that is to say, this puppet has no tasks to perform.

"What if I didn't give him a mission order just now?" Liu Ziru asked.

Ikadove said unsurprisingly, "No need to do anything, he will do what he thinks he needs to do." Of course, his thoughts are, to some extent, your thoughts. But that's what you thought two minutes ago. ”

The puppet on the other side seems to take a while to get acquainted with this world. After a while, he was able to speak, he looked at Liu Ziru and looked at the turtledove, and there was no confusion in his eyes.

In fact, for these puppets, they knew their short life from the moment they were born.

From the moment they were born, they were not qualified to search for the meaning of life. Although they have thoughts and can speak, they are just a tool.

And most puppets are very conscious that they are a tool.

They can't resist, and although their body can't directly control them, they can control the core of control within them.

As long as this core is overloaded, the running state of the puppet will be destroyed, and the puppet will die.

Because the puppets are all doppelgangers of the ontology, they basically inherit all the ideas of the ontology. So, they are very familiar with these contents.

Of course, very rarely, there are a few puppets who are not afraid of death, and they will want to break through the shackles and become a real person, but that is just like talking in a dream.

It's like an ordinary human being, if you want to live forever, that's almost impossible.

Liu Ziru thought about it, and suddenly felt a little cold, if the puppet is a degraded version of himself, then what is the human being itself? A degraded version of a mysterious creature?

The life cycle of a puppet is one week, and the life cycle of a human is one hundred years?

Liu Ziru couldn't help but think so, although he used to believe in the "Theory of Evolution" declared by Darwin. However, the archaeological results of the surface world do not support this statement.

Because, the fossils of the intermediates that are most needed by the evolutionary theory have never existed.

If humans had evolved from monkeys, there would have been individuals in the transition stage, but why not find them.

Why all living things on the earth, it seems, have always been the same since their appearance, and have not changed much, this can already be said to be a mystery.

Science is a doctrine that can be superstitious.

The existence of science will make people think that the world is stable and regular.

However, is there really a pattern in this world? The existence of human beings, and indeed the entire biosphere, is like a layer of moss on the surface of the earth.

Does this layer of moss make sense to the universe?

Liu Ziru looked at his doppelganger, then looked at the turtledove and asked, "Now that the copy is complete, how can I find the sparrow if I want to find it?" ”

"Go there." Turtledove pointed to another door and said, "The door of time and space opened by the Year Beast is gentle and harmless, I believe you have also experienced it. However, there is a kind of space-time gate filled with violent spatial turbulence, and it is difficult for humans themselves to pass through it. And the puppet, who was destined to be doomed to many disasters by birth, can easily pass through.

The place where the sparrow was was wrapped in the turbulence of time and space. You can see her, you can touch her, and you can only reach her in your dreams.

Of course, there was a definite meaning for her there. She was there because there was the fire of Prometheus, and she was going to guide the newcomers to it.

If you say that you fail, you will be burned by it. However, that is a legend that has been around for a long time. Since you don't need a real person to go through the turbulence of time and space to get the fire of Prometheus, you just need to guide it from the dream. The so-called burning of the body is more like an old joke. ”

"Can you go over there and find the sparrow?" Liu Ziru asked the puppet.

The puppet nodded, didn't say anything, opened the door filled with the turbulence of time and space, and passed through.

Turtledove watched all this, and when she saw the puppet enter, she said, "Okay, you can go back first." Your mission is estimated to be only the task of the red envelope group, and the rest of the time, you will be able to live an ordinary life with the wasteland girl. Remember, please cherish. ”

Turtledove smiled and pushed Liu Ziru back to the underground parking lot.

The rays of the setting sun cast on the tall buildings, staining them orange and bordering them with gold.

Liu Ziru inhaled the exhaust fumes of the evening rush hour, his mood was finally relaxed, and he opened his arms, "Ordinary life, I'm back!" ”

The people on the sidewalk looked sideways, looking at Liu Ziru with strange eyes, and walked away from Liu Ziru.

Liu Ziru didn't care about the eyes of these people at all, and rushed home.

He'd already given Christina the keys to the shop so he wouldn't have to worry about coming back late and she wouldn't be able to get in.

Back in the alley, Christina stood outside, after learning Chinese for a few days, she could already communicate with the children around her in Chinese, and also talked and laughed.

When she saw Liu Ziru coming back, she happily said in Chinese, "Store manager, you're back." ”

"Come back, you have good Chinese, you can learn this in a few days, if you go to advertise cram schools, they will think it is false propaganda." Liu Ziru said.

Although he himself relied on the fire of Prometheus to acquire the ability to know any language, he still envied Christina's strong learning ability.

The fire of Prometheus is indeed very powerful. But it is not omnipotent, it can only make the person who is contaminated with fire understand the words of others, but it cannot make others understand the words of the tainted person.

To put it simply, it's just a one-way translation system. If both sides want to communicate without barriers, unless both sides have Promethean fire, or similar translation technology, then both sides understand the language.

This has explained that the scope of application of Prometheus Fire has been reduced considerably, and it seems less practical.

Although Christina can speak a few sentences in Chinese, Liu Ziru's sentences are still too long, making her a little difficult to understand.

She thought about it for a while, and then she roughly understood the meaning of this sentence, and a smile popped up on her face.

Liu Ziru watched the annoying children chirping around her, and he asked, "What are you doing with these children?" Don't you think they're annoying? ”

"No, it's good to have so many children, children are hope. I've never seen so many kids together in the wasteland. Christina said.

The situation on the other side of the wasteland, Liu Ziru can be regarded as having a better understanding. High births and high deaths, there are few children who can really survive.

There is basically nothing to learn in the classroom, because it is simply not enough to support so many children who do not work and study part-time.

It's really not easy to see the scene of children together.

Of course, Christina is actually a child by this standard.

Liu Ziru asked Christina's age, and she was only sixteen years old. At this age, she is only a high school student here, and over there, she is already a warrior, a producer, or a veteran explorer like her.

"It's great to be able to learn freely." Christina took out a large pile of papers out of nowhere, put them in front of Liu Ziru, and said, "You look at these exercises, it's really fun to do." ”

"It's good if you're happy." Liu Ziru looked at these exercises, which were probably stuffed to her by these children, and her expression changed a little. He didn't know how long he swam in the sea of questions, but he vomited and vomited again and again when he was seasick.

Although we all know the tactics of the sea of questions, it is an excellent learning tactic at a limited cost. However, everyone who has experienced it will not regard this as a happy thing.

If it is said that the top students are happy to brush the questions, it cannot be said that it is wrong. After all, for people, brushing questions is as easy as eating and drinking.

Christina really did it happily, and the annoying goblins around her were playing around her, but they didn't really bother her.

"Thank you, sister!" A child happily took away his homework.

"Thank you, sister." Another child happily took away his homework.

Gradually, the children lined up in a long line, one by one, waiting to get the right answer from Chrisina.

Liu Ziru was dumbfounded, he really didn't know what to say.

Don't look at the fact that he has lived here for so many years, in fact, he really has nothing to do with these children.

On the one hand, it is that he can't play with these children, and secondly, the Radiant Canteen is still a very interesting place in the rumors nearby.

Just some time ago, Liu Ziru also caught a person who wanted to sneak into the radiation canteen to do an adventure live broadcast.

This kind of person is actually quite hateful, and if they can't be caught, they will do whatever they want. When they caught it, they explained that it was for their dreams, and it was for the entertainment of the public.

Liu Ziru was too annoyed to talk nonsense with him, so he finally called the police and asked him and the comrades at the police station to explain why they trespassed into the house without permission, and there was half a carrot in the radiant canteen in his mouth.

It's a burglary.

However, there is nothing of value in the cafeteria. In the end, the police criticized and educated him, and let the man go.

It wasn't until the sun had completely set that Christina finished all the exercises by the light at the door.

After finishing the exercises, she was still unsatisfied, and even licked her lips with her tongue.

For her, this kind of knowledge with a complete body of knowledge is really wonderful.

It's not that she can easily learn this knowledge without finding it difficult, but she has been abused after experiencing the dogskin education in the wasteland. In this way, as soon as she comes into contact with the education system here, she is like a fish in water.

You know, Christina is the only one out of hundreds of tribes, out of thousands of children, who has passed the Cult of Knowledge test.

A little comparison, it is equivalent to several schools here, several ages combined, and finally a qualified student is finally educated.

Such a scrap rate is too high, although the only finished product is often of good quality, but what is the use.

Christina is almost one in a million by the standards of this side.

Don't look at their side, they choose one from thousands, but their learning environment is a learning environment where guns are held on their backs and guns are fired if they don't agree with each other.

Under such pressure, the motivation to learn is also unusually abundant. In the end, apart from Christina, the remaining few people can become scholars, responsible for selecting the next generation of talents for the Cult of Knowledge.

However, their knowledge is not systematic, and under their education, it will become more difficult to get ahead.

Liu Ziru, who has not experienced all this, will never be able to experience Christina's feeling of being like a fish in water.
