In the central city of Star Ring City, Zhou Shuangshuang is like a rare animal that has been raised by people.

She was allowed to move freely within a certain range. But compared to the previous life, it was a world of difference.

In Central City, the terminal has no right to summon the shuttle. In other words, even if she had an air conversion device, she couldn't leave.

But it's so quiet.

It's so quiet that it's like there's no breath of life.

The old people who go out to bask in the sun on time every day in the courtyard will always sit there with expressionless faces, like sections of rotten wood.

At a certain moment, Zhou Shuangshuang accidentally made a movement, and when they looked at it with sloppy eyes, she could clearly feel that the breath of life was about to dissipate.

The internet is restricted, there is no knowledge in sight, and there is no entertainment here. Even the words about any knowledge points in the exchange forum will block her......

Her personal terminal will still be able to connect to the Internet and see her uploaded resources.

The various comments under the various TV series, although as the life of Homo sapiens gradually returned to the right track, the comments gradually decreased and became more rigid......

However, this is already her greatest comfort every day.

Here, if you don't want to aimlessly count the thousands of leaves outside the wall every day, the only thing you can do is to try your best to enrich yourself.

At this time, all Zhou Shuangshuang can do is to keep switching back and forth between the two worlds.

In reality and Star Ring City, she is constantly learning new knowledge that she can learn.

She should be glad that Homo sapiens would not have bothered to search for her things, and they would not have noticed that a Homo sapiens would openly disobey the decree and give a unique information to natural persons.

Relying on this information, Zhou Shuangshuang survived here for a month.

This month, for Zhou Shuangshuang, is even longer than the previous year.

But it is precisely because of this that she can finally feel that the so-called "learning makes me happy." ”

That's right, the continuous back and forth learning, although it made her mentally very tired, but also made her progress on the information of the mechanical limb to 65%.

Of course, there are also many basic knowledge of the new century that she can't understand, and she still needs to figure out how to understand them one by one later.

……………………………………

May 12, 233 of the new century.

Natural person number 076,089, finally died and came to the end of his life.

At 12 noon on this day, Zhou Shuangshuang received a notice from Star Ring City.

——She was applied by independent researcher Lin Lun as an experimental observation subject, non-in vivo reaction test, only for simple daily life data collection.

Zhou Shuangshuang was finally able to come out of Central City again.

At that moment, even if an air falcon made a navigation mistake and narrowly brushed past her, it didn't make her feel a trace of regret.

- The days of being locked up are really terrifying.

If she hadn't been able to switch to reality, I'm afraid she would have become like any other natural person in the long silence.

Those natural people, like her a few decades ago, were able-bodied people who refused to carry a second processor.

Lin Lun's research institute is still in the building where the hospital is located. The moment Zhou Shuangshuang walked into the gate, the Star Ring City broadcast sounded again.

"At two o'clock in the afternoon on May 12, 233 of the New Century, three researchers of the 411 Research Institute died of shock due to several refusals of hierarchical intervention, resulting in processor overload, brain domain damage, and shock. I hope that the general public and friends will take this as a warning. ”

At this moment, she had just stepped through the door.

Inside the door, the glowing white light of the dome poured down, bringing out a slight warmth.

The circulating airflow in the house is fresh and gentle, even after the air conversion device, every breath of Zhou Shuangshuang is still comfortable.

But at this moment, she looked at her figure that was obliquely elongated by the sun shining into the room, and she actually felt a deep chill from the bottom of her heart.

…………………………………………

Lin Lun was waiting for her in front of the door of the research room.

Zhou Shuangshuang was inevitably a little flattered.

"Doesn't that mean you're doing research? Why are you still free to pick me up here? It's not because you're afraid I'll run away, right? ”

Her terminal had already been forced into the designated location, and if the direction was off, nearby guards would immediately come to arrest her, and there was no second option.

Lin Lun smiled and did not speak.

I haven't seen her for a month, and Zhou Shuangshuang always feels that this person who used to be no different from other Homo sapiens seems to be ...... What's the difference.

But she doesn't know exactly where.

The research room was silent, with only rows of projections in mid-air.

There were densely packed data and all kinds of strange shapes and graphs on it, and Zhou Shuangshuang only glanced at it, and felt that his brain was not enough, so he quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Isn't there anyone else here?"

She asked, curiously looking around.

Lin Lun replied to her: "There is no one else, only me." ”

"I calculated that in the entire Star Ring City, it is estimated that no one will be able to understand my thoughts, so I simply applied for the research laboratory independently. Anyway......"

He nodded his brain: "With my processor level, it's qualified enough." ”

"Then why did you ask me to be the subject of observation?"

Zhou Shuangshuang wondered.

She wasn't worried that Lin Lun would do any horrific experiments on herself.

Because in Star Ring City, no one has a thirst for life, so when many people are seriously ill or have no desire to live, they will provide their bodies to the government to do various scientific research.

After all, surging technological development also requires a huge number of experimental subjects.

Lin Lun clicked on the projection.

"No, it's just an excuse."

Zhou Shuangshuang's eyes widened.

"I don't need you as an object of observation."

"The resources you uploaded, everyone and everything in them, are what I'm really observing. After all, the emotions they show are richer and more diverse than yours. ”

"Moreover, there are more samples."

Zhou Shuangshuang was so surprised-

"You, you're still lying?!"

- Obviously you don't need a test subject, but you specifically asked her to be the subject of observation......

This is an unprecedented false action in Star Ring City.

With the intervention of the processor, the brain of Homo sapiens would not have such thoughts at all.

Lin Lun snorted meaninglessly.

"Because the experimental data did not meet expectations several times, my schedule kept changing every day. When the processor doesn't have enough space, it's natural that my other controls are much more relaxed. ”

In this case, the application for a trivial request that does not affect the research is not important to the processor at all.

"Just ......"

He was faintly depressed.

"It's been a month since the research, and there hasn't been any major progress."
