Chapter 9 Home
Although Bai Ji already felt that he would not be surprised today, as soon as Chen Xu said this, his smile still froze in an instant.
"Now that I think about it, it's not a big deal, it's just that I'm too stupid." Chen Xu said this, then looked up at the sign, and walked slowly to the other end of the room with Bai Ji, "But even now, I still can't accept the fact that I'm dead." ”
"It's dead." Bai Ji corrected, "Haven't we been reborn, and even the aliens can't kill us." ”
Chen Xu smiled bitterly and asked, "But don't you think that we are no longer us?" ”
This question made Bai Ji asked, even if he was not interested in philosophy, but now that he was out of danger, he couldn't help but think, is he really him now? Xiao Ai also made it clear before that his current situation is that his soul is stuffed into a new body.
Able to think for themselves, feel pain, feel fear. But so what? Is he now a copy or substitute of what he used to be? Bai Ji patted his temple, he felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by his own logic, so he could only tilt his neck and say to Chen Xu: "I don't want to think about these things anymore, because at least I'm still alive." Although the new students are a little different from before, I have decided that I want to live well. ”
Chen Xu thought for a moment, nodded, and then asked Bai Ji: "Uncle Bai, your desire to survive is so strong, there must be some reason why you have to live, right?" ”
Bai Ji was very comfortable, and replied casually: "Actually, no." ”
"Family?" Chen Xu asked tentatively, "You said before that I am like your sister, she should be the pillar of your life, right?" After all, you can use your life to protect a stranger who just looks like your sister. ”
Bai Ji bit his lip and said sadly: "I don't have a family, they are all dead. ”
Chen Xu stared at Bai Ji with wide eyes, his mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to ask something, but he held back, Bai Ji just waved his hand and said, "You must want to ask how they died, right?" It's okay, I actually want to find out how they died, because I can remember the days I lived with them, their faces, their smiles and even their breath, but I don't remember how they died at all. It's like a memory gap, one second they're still smiling and talking to me, the next they're three narrow tombstones, academically called ......"
"Selective amnesia after trauma." Chen Xu interjected, "I studied medicine and have a certain understanding of psychology. ”
Bai Ji nodded and said, "No wonder your psychological quality is so strong, if it was an ordinary little girl, it is estimated that she would be scared crazy after seeing those corpses and monsters." ”
"Actually, I'm really scared crazy, and even now I wonder if it's my own imagination." Chen Xu said, the whole person deflated like a deflated ball.
During the conversation, the two had already walked to the door of room 3134, which was at the end of the hallway. Bai Ji just gently stretched out his hand and touched Chen Xu's head, and comforted: "It's okay, everything will be fine, go back to the room and get a good night's sleep." ”
Chen Xu nodded obediently, said goodbye to Bai Ji and walked to his room. Bai Ji turned his head, raised his head as if to confirm that the door number was written "3134", and then swiped his watch to the door lock, only to hear a "click", and the door opened. Bai Ji took a big breath, then pushed the door and walked in.
I have to say that Bai Ji was really frightened, because this is not a hotel room at all - whether it is the orientation, house type, decoration, furniture, or furnishings, everything in this house is exactly the same as Bai Ji remembers.
The yellowed wooden sofa, the old ceiling fan, the bookcase in the corner of the living room, and even the curtain slightly blown by the breeze, Bai Ji couldn't help but run to the window and look out, what kind of suburb of N City is this? This is where Bai Ji lived in his childhood! He felt as if he had traveled differently, jumping from one plane of reality to the plane of nightmares, and from the plane of nightmares to the planes of the past.
"You must be kidding me." Bai Ji smashed his head hard, revealing an extremely painful look.
Because the most important thing missing in this house was his kind parents and lovely sister, and everything here seemed to be laughing at everything he had lost.
"What? Don't like it? Just as Bai Ji was about to completely fall into the whirlpool of memory, a sweet voice suddenly came from behind him. Naturally, it wouldn't be Bai Ji's sister, Bai Ji jerked his head and found that the other party was a strange woman he had never seen.
The woman had a fresh face, but she had a big wave that was extremely incompatible with her style. Although she is not short, she is very thin, so half of her body is almost buried in long curls.
Although Bai Ji had never seen this person, he remembered this voice - the intelligent system Xiao Ai.
"Are you a projection of the system?" Bai Ji frowned, Xiao Ai sneered, slowly approached Bai Ji, and then put his hand on Bai Ji's hand. It wasn't the cold feeling she expected, Bai Ji felt that her skin was slippery, her hands were soft like marshmallows, and they were just the right amount of warmth.
"Physically, I'm no different from you, it's the same physical body created by the system. But unlike you, my range of activities is only this virtual space that can be highly simulated, and when you leave the room, I will return to the system and become a part of your body. In other words, I'm human in this room, but outside of the room, I'm just a more complex string of codes in the system. Xiao Ai explained, and sat down on the couch.
Bai Ji touched his hand as if he didn't understand, as if he was still feeling Xiao Ai's temperature, and then he asked: "You said that you can carry out a high degree simulation here, so this house is automatically simulated and restored after the system extracts a certain part of my memory." ”
Xiao Ai nodded, but shook his head again and said, "Although it is a simulation based on your memory, it is not automatic. As the intelligent system in your brain, I rummaged through your memories during my break and found that the most comfortable living environment in your mind is here, so I chose according to your preferences. ”
"So I don't even have a bit of privacy from now on." Bai Ji spread his hands jokingly, "So that means that even your appearance is simulated according to my preferences?" But I never remembered having a woman like you in my head, and you weren't the one I liked. ”
I don't know if the intelligent system has emotions or not, Bai Ji clearly heard Xiao Ai chirp and say: "Who wants you to like it, don't like you to change it." ”
Then she cleared her throat and said seriously, "I'm sorry to tell you, no." As a system, we have the initial preset templates, each template is different, in short, everyone has a different system appearance, but as a resident, you have no authority to change our appearance, body type, and personality. ”
Bai Ji let out a long "oh", then touched his chin and said, "Then what is the meaning of your physical existence?" After all, you are just a string of code in the system, and there is no need to materialize it in the personal space of our residents. ”
Hearing Bai Ji say this, Xiao Ai suddenly lowered his head and said a vague word, until Bai Ji said "ha", Xiao Ai increased the volume and said: "Of course, it is to serve the residents more humanely and keep the residents happy!" ”
"Oh, it's a room attendant, so that means you can't refuse whatever the tenant asks?" Bai Ji said with a wicked smile, Xiao Ai's face turned red, and a soft punch smashed into Bai Ji's chest. Bai Ji just shook Xiao Ai's hand, revealing a grim expression and said, "Then you don't want to make me happy?" ”
Xiao Ai pursed her lips, but nodded and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Why don't you know what I'm trying to do?" Bai Ji said this, and then changed the conversation and said, "Replace this room for me immediately, I don't want to live in this kind of ghost place at all." ”
Yes, a home without a family member is a "ghost place", and every second he stays in Bai Ji's heart will be magnified a little more, which is a torture that he can't bear at all. And when Xiao Ai heard Bai Ji say this, he was just shocked and screamed "Ahhhhh
"What? Isn't it possible? Didn't you say that you could do a high degree of simulation here? If this room can only stay like this in the future, and I have to live here forever, it would be better for me to die. Bai Ji shook his head.
Xiao Ai didn't pay attention to Bai Ji for the first time, but ran around the dining table, and Bai Ji found that her cheeks were already red to the root of her ears, just like a long-ripe apple. After a long time, when the blush disappeared, Xiao Ai stopped in front of Bai Ji, poked Bai Ji's chest and asked, "What kind of style do you like?" ”
Bai Ji said without thinking: "Whatever, as long as it's not here." ”
Xiao Ai nodded seriously, and then closed his eyes. Soon the layout of the whole house was torn off like wallpaper, and when I looked at it again, it had become the decoration of a high-end hotel, and the scene outside the window had also changed to the riverbank of N City.
The floor was very high, and the whirring wind blew away the depression in Bai Ji's heart, he yelled at the window, and then lay down in the soft high-end sofa. I have to say that as an intelligent system, Xiao Ai did a really good job, because Bai Ji found that there was still his favorite cigarette on the table.
"It's much more comfortable." Bai Ji put his legs on the glass table and comfortably lit a cigarette for himself. Then he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Xiao Ai: "Won't all of these be charged?" It's what the old residents told me about the hotel score. ”
Xiao Ai glanced at Bai Ji and said disdainfully: "You can rest assured, any life needs are provided free of charge by the system." ”
Bai Ji nodded, took a big puff of his cigarette, and then said seriously: "While I still have the spirit, Xiao Ai, you can explain to me the rules of the hotel." ”
