Chapter 2: The Crowned Anthropomorphist
Reward......
Mu Xiu was stunned, he originally thought that according to the development of the routine, the other party would put forward all kinds of difficult requirements-
Aren't there all such so-called masters, who obviously rely on that industry to become famous, and also rely on that craft to eat, but because of this, they think very highly of themselves and think they are great.
If it's just an equivalent exchange, asking customers to help fulfill some conditions in exchange for their services, then it's okay to say.
But in fact, it is their attitude that is so bad that they are forced to make things difficult, purely for the sake of making things difficult, rather than wanting to exchange for equal value.
Not only do you have to rely on that line to eat, but you also have to put up a shelf in a special way to make things difficult to show how great your ability is......
Does such an act really have any practical significance?
Shaking his head, he frowned slightly, as if his face was a little embarrassed: "Miss Aosaki, what do you think is the most appropriate reward?" ”
I thought it would take a lot of words to persuade the other party to complete the deal, so I still deduced a lot of ways to deal with it in my mind, but I didn't expect Aozaki Orange's attitude to be so neat.
She agreed directly, and it seemed that as long as the price was agreed, she would be able to negotiate this matter, so Mu Xiu was a little unprepared, and he really didn't know what he could use to trade.
Especially when the target is Aozaki Orange's doll technology in the field of magic.
"How do I know this, there is no standard in this regard."
With a long puff of smoke rings, Aozaki Orange replied as if it were a little amused as she snuffed out the cigarette that had become ashes.
"There are not many people who come to me, but everyone's requirements are completely different, and the natural price is different, of course, you quote the psychological price in this regard, and I will see if it is worth taking the ......"
"That's right, it makes sense." Mu Xiu nodded thoughtfully, and then thought seriously.
Aozaki Orange is so crisp, although it is said that it is a little different from the magician in his impression, more like a businessman. However, considering her background and experience, it is not surprising that this Jialantang is originally the same nature as a firm.
It's just that, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, how should I quote now?
Aozaki didn't rush, she just gently approached the window, opened the curtains of the office, and looked out from there.
There were no electric lights in this room, only sunlight coming in from outside, and it was impossible to tell whether it was noon or dusk. Looking down at the back of the scenery outside the window, it seems to gradually assimilate into the sunlight.
Like a mirage seeping into white light.
It's probably been a while.
Mu Xiu seemed to have thought about it, he raised his head, coughed, and then said, "Miss Aosaki, how about I exchange complete information about the third law with you?" ”
According to the principle of equivalent exchange, he decided to use the magic technology he mastered to exchange the knowledge of the other party to reach the magic realm, and the third method was not Mu Xiu's thing in the first place, so he didn't feel distressed to sell it for money.
"Huh? The third law? Aozaki Orange changed her indifferent expression, and her eyes became strange when she looked back, "Is it the "Heavenly Cup" about the materialization of the soul? ”
"Yes." Mu Xiu said in a posture that didn't matter what happened.
"Are you teasing me?" The mature woman with short blue hair frowned, looking a little dissatisfied, and her tone became even colder, "Do you think you are a magician?" ”
"Where, where, I didn't think so." Mu Xiu said this quite modestly, waving his hand again and again, "I am indeed a magician, although I say that I am part-time. ”
“……”
“……”
"Well, I actually lost my time on a guy like you......"
Orange Aozaki threw the cigarette outside, her voice becoming as inorganic as plastic, and she waved her hand impatiently. "If it's okay, get out of here, before I get angry."
Mu Xiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, and then sighed as well: "I just think you're so neat, that's why I don't want to take advantage of you...... Because to be honest, there is nothing of value in my own body that can satisfy the equivalent exchange. ”
Then there was a slight pause, he seemed to think of something temporarily, and his eyes lit up: "Or- I'll rub you a holy grail, right?" ”
"......" Aozaki Orange At this moment, the eyes of the teenager have changed from a simple contempt mode to a more rude care for mentally handicapped children.
"Tsk, I can't help it." Mu Xiu could only sigh again, and then walked towards the other party, completely ignoring the vigilant eyes of Aozaki Orange.
He reached out and lifted the sleeve of the black coat on his right arm, then handed his arm to Aozaki Orange's eyes and made a "please" gesture.
"What do you mean?" The woman seemed to frown slightly.
"You're a crown humanoid master, and you can make such a perfect puppet, you must know enough about the human body, right?" Mu Xiu proposed solemnly. "That's how I prove myself."
"Cut, what do you say, you think you're ......"
Subconsciously laughing, Aozaki Orange just glanced at the young man's arm, which seemed to have no muscle lines and was still a little slender.
Then the conversation stopped abruptly, for she couldn't take her eyes off it.
……
……
Despite living a life of incognito and depravity, and even occasionally working part-time as an architect to obtain the money necessary to survive in society, it is undeniable that Aozaki Tachiko's rank as a magician is the highest crown.
- though this is more in the technical aspects of her doll-making skills, to be more precise than the crown magician.
The dolls mentioned here do not refer to the humanoid toys that are commonly recognized by ordinary people, such as puppets, dolls, clay figures, life-size dolls, etc., but those are just the most common "commodities".
Aosaki's doll-making skills are about the magic concept of the field of human body imitation, and she is able to create high-performance automaton in a mysterious and declining modern age.
What's even more terrifying is that in the process of pursuing the prototype of the flesh, I accidentally discovered the technology of making a doll that is exactly the same as my own. This is beyond the absolute law left over from the heyday of magic in the Middle Ages.
- "Even if you make a doll that surpasses a human being, it is impossible to create something like a human being."
As a result, Aozaki Orange also had the idea of "With this, don't you need your current self?" and really put it into action.
She always prepares a dormant puppet of herself, and once the living Aozaki Orange dies, then the memory will be transferred directly to the prepared body, and she will wake up or resurrect again.
When she wakes up, she will make another body ready to move, and then go into hibernation.
In a sense, this has achieved the effect of "immortality", and even the Aozaki orange that appears in front of Mu Xiu's eyes now is actually just one of the later dolls.
However, even in someone's vision of penetrating into the subtle realm of atoms and energy, and touching the level of "existence", the body of a mature woman who is an orange of Aozaki is no different from that of ordinary people, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Even Mu Xiu, who had truly stepped into the ranks of the gods, could not find any obvious differences and defects between her body and the body of a normal person.
In conclusion, Aozaki Tachiko who appeared in this time period is the person who is fake, so to speak, it is enough to be judged as "perfect".
It is a miraculous puppet technique that has reached the realm of magic.
But her use of this gave birth to an inevitable question, that is, are the original Ausaki oranges and the current Ausaki oranges the same "existence"?
Didn't the primordial body long ago know when and where it died? So every one of her who appeared later was a brand-new, copied Aozaki orange?
"As you can see, it's a new me, but it's also me." She replied quickly, and without even raising her head, she was concentrating on studying Mu Xiu's arm.
By this time, it was already dark outside.
Only the flickering white lights illuminated the living room, and the walls stretched into the depths of the hallway outside the door. The artificial light that dispells the darkness is inhuman, and more unpleasant than the darkness that should be dispelled.
Mu Xiu raised his eyebrows, looked at his right arm resting on the table next to him, and then looked at a woman who was reluctant to look away at all, and always felt that there was something wrong, to be precise, there was a sense of immediacy.
INTERVIEWER Why do you look like you're donating blood?
He shook his head, then calmly continued, "Do you mean to say that you were the same as you are now?" ”
"Hmph, isn't that a matter of course? The previous me and the current me were both manufactured. Even I don't know when I exchanged it with me. ”
The orange magician said with a wicked smile, but still didn't look up.
"Although my body was made, it was the only existence of "Aozaki Orange". I'll awaken when I die in the event, because everything I got from the one who just died is recorded, and if I inherit those things, I'll be the same as before. ”
Mu Xiu listened quietly and did not express an opinion.
But Aozaki Orange was probably looking for a topic at this time, so that this situation could continue, so he took the initiative to explain it-
"A few years ago, I accidentally made a doll that looked exactly like me in the course of an experiment. There is no place that can surpass its own performance, and there is nothing inferior to its own, is a container that truly has exactly the same functionality. ”
"When it comes to making the same doll, I don't have a doubt that I am the one who I am. So, I was once killed, but I don't have to be the original one. But the original me may also be asleep in a place that I don't even know. ”
"Because they are all exactly the same containers, there is no way to tell the difference. It's all a bunch of "uncertainties", but that's the truth. Like a cat that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead until it opens its box, what matters is the reality of what is happening so far, right? ”
Mu Xiu wasn't much shocked, just seriously thinking about the words that the crown humanoid master calmly said that could subvert people's three views.
Even she couldn't be sure which original original nature was, but it was identical, and only one of herself was active at the same time.
So while each one of her may have been made by herself, since there is no way to tell the difference, each Aozaki orange is real?
"It's hard to believe, are you really human?" Exhaling hard, Aozaki Orange finally finished examining Mu Xiu's arm, and then ...... His eyes lit up and looked at Mu Xiu's whole person.
As the other party said, as the most senior puppeteer, she has a thorough understanding of the human body, and she is definitely one of the top few people in the world.
But at the moment, it still feels incredible, maybe the key to creating a humanoid form beyond humans lies in this guy.
"Anywhere, but I'm not human." Mu Xiu said this quite modestly, waving his hand again and again.
“……”
“……”
Aosaki Orange's expression suddenly became a little subtle, why did she feel that this scene seemed to be a little familiar.
