Dr. Nan Candle's underground laboratory chamber-

"Luona, the 13th World Combat Series will be held tomorrow, and you've been with me for a few days, have you used to this new body?" Dr. Nan Candle asked.

To be honest, I still couldn't believe it, I walked to the mirror and looked at the new body that Nan Zhu gave me, it was so handsome! It's really not ordinary, glamorous and moving! It can be described as a beautiful face in the prosperous world! I was so excited that I almost screamed.

"Luona, you're looking in the wrong mirror! It's the "Automatic Beauty Peel Filter Face Slimming Mirror"! Ordinary mirror on your right-hand side! Nan Candle reminded from the side.

I quickly turned around and looked at my new body in the ordinary mirror.

Excuse me, did I go to the wrong shed? Who is this guy in the mirror?

I finally feel what it feels like to be "beautiful" now.

Although it's a dog.

"Teacher Nanzhu, I accidentally took a look at the automatic beauty mirror just now, and I was so handsome that I lost my memory, in addition to changing the appearance of my artificial body, what other aspects have you improved for me?"

"Luona, with your current careless state, tomorrow's battle competition, I really sweated for you!" Nan Zhu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his right hand.

"I'll repeat it to you at the end, I installed a face swap function for you, you can switch freely between your past face and your new face, but after all, you are a high-fidelity artificial body, and you look too similar to a human being, I suggest that when you want to change your face, it is best to find a hidden place where no one is around, otherwise it is easy to frighten others!"

"Got it, there's that ...... What is a black hole chip? ”

"It's the Cool Dragon chip."

"That's right! Black hole chip, you put this chip in my core module, can you make me cool? ”

"Forget it...... You can call it whatever you like, it's just a waste of this cool name I chose! I removed a lot of inconsequential devices and accessory systems from your body, and installed the "Cool Dragon Chip" on you, as for the origin of this chip...... You guess? ”

"Teacher Nanzhu, please be serious! How could I have guessed!! ”

"Haha, Luona, although you have changed your body, it is still the same as back then, this cool dragon chip will automatically open the normalized energy shield about 1 cm away from the surface of your body, raising your "defense" to another level!"

So, is my focus on "defense"? I thought this chip would strengthen my offensive ability! ”

"I've adjusted your maximum power to the maximum that your high-fidelity artificial body can withstand: around level 4,000."

"Then I'm still not as good as Qikui's energy progression!"

"That's not necessarily, although the cool dragon chip is not as good as the genesis chip, but it is not an ordinary chip, it has a lot of origins! Do you want to know where it came from? Fall that. ”

"Guess?"

"Give back to him in his own way, it turns out that Your Excellency is a member of the Murong family, farewell!"

"Hahaha, Mr. Nanzhu, you are still so humorous as back then!"

"Don't always be you, you, you and I have been masters and apprentices for many years, whatever!"

"Well, I really appreciate you! You have been and still have been of great help to me! ”

"Luona, ah......" Suddenly, Nan Candle's expression looked a little lonely: "The person who should be thanked is me, no one has come to visit me for many years...... In a few days, this house, this underground laboratory, will no longer exist...... All the hard work of my life will be destroyed by those shameless intergalactic bandits! ”

"By the way, Teacher Nanzhu, why haven't I seen my wife in your place for the past few days?"

Hearing this question, Nan Zhu seemed to be a little old-eyed, and he said slowly: "My wife passed away six years ago......"

"I'm sorry...... I shouldn't have asked that question. ”

"Are you afraid of death? Falling that ......" Nan Zhu turned his back to me, as if he didn't want me to see his expression at the moment.

"I ...... To tell you the truth, I'm afraid of death, and all humans are afraid of death......" I said with great certainty.

"No, human, it's not death that is afraid...... Nan Zhu paused, "but loneliness......"

"There is a famous saying that loneliness makes a person excellent. Isn't it bad to be lonely? ”

That is just an excuse for human self-comfort, death, the longest solitude...... So people are afraid of death. Nan Zhu said: "Luo Na, actually...... I don't have long to live. ”

"Why?!" I was surprised.

"I have cancer......"

"What?!"

"Maybe it's God's arrangement......"

"God ......" I suddenly thought of the funny face of the meat ball, no, the meat ball said, its image depends on my ideology, that is probably what I imagined "God" to look like.

"Teacher Nanzhu, then why don't you transfer the consciousness of your master and yourself into an artificial body?"

"Death is a necessary thing in every life sooner or later, even if it is you, Luona, although you have transferred your consciousness to an artificial body, but the universe does not allow the existence of "perpetual motion machine", the energy form will be consumed, and eventually it will be converted into other forms, converted into each other, and then the cycle will ......"

"But transferring to an artificial body will greatly prolong the time of life's existence, Mr. Nanzhu, I hope you can seriously consider it!"

"Luona, do you want to be a "raw cat" or a "dead cat" in "Schrödinger's cat"?"

"Of course, it's a raw cat!"

"Okay, you made your choice, but I've been doing things under the orders of the Star Sea Council all my life, and I've almost never made my own choice, and in my last years, I want to make my own choice, and my choice is "I want to be myself......"

“…… My wife and I had a pact that neither of us would move to an artificial body because ......"

“…… Because we want to use human bodies to depend on each other until death......"

I listened quietly to the monologue of the old man with white hair.

"Luona, you don't have to worry about me, death is the destination of all life in the universe, and the brilliant intelligent civilization will always have a day to disappear, even if it is an incomparably huge star, there will be a day when it falls, so the important thing is the "process"...... I've tasted all the processes of life and that's enough for me......"

"I understand, Teacher Nan Candle, I hope you can ......" I wanted to speak and stopped, I couldn't think of words of comfort, maybe Nan Candle had already realized the "Great Dao" and didn't need the comfort of others.

"Luona, it's rare that you will come to me this time, this ...... Maybe the last time we'll see each other...... I'll play the piano for you......"

"Good...... Teacher Nanzhu, I didn't know you could play the piano......"

"I really don't know how to do it, since my wife passed away six years ago, I've taught myself."

Nan Candle walked over to a shelf and lifted the cloth covering it.

This is an old "guzheng".

Nan Candle sat cross-legged and plucked the strings with his old fingers, which had long withered, and played the first note.

Mount~~

The guqin made a pleasant sound.

Deng~~Deng~Deng~Deng~Deng~Deng~~

Deng~Deng~DengDeng~Deng~Deng~~~

The playing level of the South Candle is not professional at all, it can be said that it is very amateurish.

But he was immersed in it, intoxicated.

Accompanied by playing, he hummed unknown lyrics in an out-of-tune, unpleasant old voice, perhaps a song of his own composition.

"When we have gray hair and full of temples~~ I finally lost you~~ How many nights~~ I stroked the piano alone~~ I'm afraid that you will leave forever from my consciousness~~......"

"You and I are accompanied by a sea of suffering~~ No more sorrow and regret~~ Even if I am sometimes confused~~ You will never leave me by my side~~......"

"No matter where you are now~~My soul is always chasing you~~Begging God to give you and me another day~~Let me live and die with you~~......"
