Chapter 14: Confession

Seeing a hint of communication, Shangguan Rin tiptoed to the door of the room where Fang Ran slept to confirm the situation.

A few minutes later, the channel entered a stable connection state, and on the wall in front of Rin, lines of text messages were projected out of thin air, and she could almost feel that this was a remote command forwarded by "Midnight", and the "host" confirmed one thing in the command, and also clearly gave the next action arrangement.

Confirmed, thinking that the situation was roughly like this in advance, the girl's heart moved slightly, and she glanced at Fang Ran's room in a blink of an eye.

Sure enough, she was right......

"Midnight, what else does the remote command say?

I don't think it's easy to convince him of all this, even if it's not necessary. ”

"Yes, not necessarily, but it's better to be on the safe side."

"Midnight", the artificial intelligence on the 3320 type cold gathering power radio cruiser, although there is no human thinking and perception, when communicating, it can be roughly regarded as a "living individual", during the voyage of more than ten days, Shangguan Rin is already familiar with it, and now that he has a new task, he will discuss with it with confidence.

"Generally speaking, to convince Wen of the existence of 'we', the demonstration of force is the most straightforward means.

However, if it is to persuade the individuals in civilization, the situation is much more flexible; For the object of your work, Fang Ran, Yu thinks that he has the ability to think rationally and analyze, as long as he explains logically and gives credible evidence, in Yu's opinion, the difficulty of this task is not high at all.

In contrast, after completing task one, how to take them away without going against their own will is a tricky matter. ”

"Ah,—— is it?

But I don't think so, Midnight; I think Fang Ran will definitely agree. ”

……

The next day, early in the morning, Fang Ran had breakfast with Shangguan Rin as usual.

In the past few days of contact with Rin, unconsciously, Fang Ran's life has changed a lot, just like today, even though it is Wednesday and there are classes and experiments throughout the day, he still doesn't take going to school as a thing, but first sees what plans Rin has; This kind of mentality is said to be very undesirable as a student, but for the reasons that he and perhaps Rin also knows, since the world will be like that sooner or later, the few classes in front of him are really nothing at all.

Of course, if you want to say anything else, does he have any thoughts about spending more time with Rin?

Fang Ran did not deny it.

Although he never knew how long Shangguan Rin, a beautiful girl whose origin seemed to be a fog, would stay in Angsien, and he didn't know the true purpose of her trip, he didn't know how much he wanted to be about her - but the so-called "love for beauty, everyone has it", he didn't have any evil thoughts about her, and he was extremely calm about his decision.

However, after breakfast, followed Shangguan Rin into the living room and sat down on the soft fluid sofa, Fang Ran, who was nervous, realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong after a while, Shangguan Rin, who was supposed to change his dress and arrange a plan for him, was now dressed in a formal suit and sat opposite him; His eyes met, as dull as he could perceive, and there was something revealing in those intoxicating dark and brown pupils.

"Fang Ran, you said before, it's okay all day today."

"Yes, yes."

"That's good, that's it, my side...... There are very important things to explain to you. ”

Just before he spoke, Shangguan Rin, who was sitting upright on the sofa, was still a little hesitant.

After all, she was only eighteen years old now, had not yet finished college, and it was the first time that she had traveled on a ship to a foreign land. The Fang Ran in front of him is similar to himself and his compatriots, but how to deal with "others" is not an experience that most compatriots will have, and how to deal with it on the spot can only be explored by himself.

Yes, it has been "confidential" before, and it doesn't matter what kind of words and deeds you have, but what about after admitting it......

Frowning slightly, the girl hesitated slightly, Fang Ran, who occupied a whole large sofa, also realized that the situation might be unusual at this time, he nodded, and said nothing.

"Well, I'll start with the topic.

First of all, you have to understand the fact that I, and you, are not people of the same world. ”

“……?”

As expected, Shangguan Rin's opening remarks caused some misunderstandings on the other side:

"Ah, Miss Shangguan, I have this realization;

'We are not people of the world', exactly, so, I won't disturb your life, OK? ”

"Y-What are you talking about, simply-

Alas, each speaks his own words. ”

Fang Ran's misunderstanding, manifested in the language, is a kind of ridicule mixed with ridicule, this style, Shangguan Rin is already quite familiar, of course she will not dwell on it, "What I just said, if, you can try to understand it from another angle, wouldn't it be better?" Or maybe I can change the wording and say it in a more layman's way, so let's put it this way, 'We are not people of the same world,' and I meant this:

You, like everyone else in this world, are earthling, and I am not.

How, do you understand? ”

"I understand.

But, Rin, you're not clever at all. ”

Shangguan Rin's words, to Fang Ran's ears, are just like ordinary people's responses to similar claims, nothing more than "I don't believe it"; The reason for this is not that he thinks Rin is lying, but based on his own reasoning - "aliens", didn't he and Rin talk about it before, since civilization is destined to have its fate, then, this should be a meaningless concept in itself.

Fate, any civilization is destined to perish, so how can there be "aliens", and where do they come from?

Fang Ran's attitude was not unexpected, and she was silent for a moment.

"Well, let's not argue for now.

That's it, Fang Ran, what kind of evidence do you need me to provide before you can believe my words. ”

"Evidence?"

Rin's tone was very sincere, which made Fang Ran a little moved, and he repeated the key words softly.

Do you need evidence for this kind of thing?

If so, if Rin can come up with it, what kind of evidence does he want to see and have the ability to identify?

After thinking for a moment, Fang Ran bit his lip, he realized that he needed to be more serious.

Yes, even if he has his own ironclad arguments to refute Shangguan Rin's words, he still has a little doubt, and he can't directly deny it 100% - if he can completely deny it, needless to say, he won't seriously think about the "evidence" at all; And now, an absurd, but not unreasonable idea reminded him that the words of the girl in front of him were not untenable.
