Chapter 9: Reflections
Varus looked at the beating sincerity in Chris's eyes and dispelled the defense in his heart, "Okay, I don't think it's too early, let's rest early!" ”
Chris also smiled and nodded, and the father looked at the pair with a smile and said, "Since there is nothing wrong with the babies, then good night!" ”
"Yes, good night Dad!" "Good night!" The two said goodnight to their father, who glanced at Varus and Chris, who were already lying down, and walked away with the door and out.
Varus glanced in Chris's direction, heard Chris's even breathing, seemed to have a stone in his mind, smiled, and lay down to sleep.
The thunderstorm outside the window continued to play out its own plot in the night sky, and Victor, who disappeared not long ago, was staring gloomily in the direction of the presidential palace outside the window, and muttered a string of words in his mouth, "Wait! The world will soon fall under my control, and humanity will become slaves of the Machine Empire! Hahaha! He stretched out his creepy mechanical hand and let out the most disgusting giggle.
The sunny days after a thunderstorm are always so refreshing, and Varus, who smells the scent of the earth, seems to be in a much more relaxed mood at the moment, and now he has to go to his hurried job as a college teaching assistant. Chris had a breakfast with his parents, his parents were busy with their own work, Chris had taken sick leave from the school for more than half a year due to his previous illness, and his father smiled and said, "You have a day off at home today, and I will contact your school tomorrow, and you will continue your college campus life!" Chris smiled and nodded, at this moment the general robot at home came over, and when the robot walked in front of Chris, he suddenly froze for a second, Chris and the robot looked at each other, and his heart was furious, "Did it find something?" ”
But the interaction of eyes was only a second, and the father smiled and said, "This is our family's little assistant, do you remember his name!" ”
Chris blurted out, "Of course, his name is Wadang!" ”
The mother smiled and touched Chris's head, "Okay, kid, we're ready to go out to work, you can rest at home, if there is any problem, Wadang can basically help you solve it!" ”
Brother Varus smirked, "Don't forget, Waddang still has the ingredients I specially modified in it!" ”
Waddang continued to do their housekeeping work, their only choice was to obey orders, and their intelligence was limited to these basic things. Parents and brothers finished breakfast and went out, leaving Chris alone in the hall to quietly watch the robot in front of him busy with household chores. Chris asked tentatively, "Hey, Waddang, do you know who I am?" ”
Waddang continued his work in an orderly manner, and calmly replied, "You are my little master Chris!" ”
Chris smiled weirdly, "I guess you're really not as smart as you think!" ”
Chris didn't have time to deal with the household servant at the moment, so he sat quietly on the couch and began to meditate.
"Who are you? Why do you keep peeping at me? ”
"I'm you! Chris! ”
"No, you're not!"
"Haha! So who do you think I will be? ”
"I don't know! You're not anyway! ”
"Haha, Chris, I have all the information about you, you are still wetting the bed at the age of 10, and your mother found out that you were very missed; When you were 13 years old, you had your first dream, when you hid your underwear under the bed because of shyness, and only later did you quietly pick it up and throw it out secretly; When you were 16 years old, you fell in love with a girl named Martha, but at that time, people disliked you as a sick man and rejected you directly; You were 18 years old and your parents went back and forth to several hospitals to save your life."
"How do you know that? Who the hell are you? ”
"I'm you! Unless you don't know who you are! ”
"Me! I don't know who I am! I"
"Because you're not the current you are at all, you're not Chris, you're just a carrier, you're Chris's carrier, and I'm the real Chris!" The strange voice laughed, as if mocking himself as an impostor, six-eared macaque!
Chris felt as if he was enveloped in an invisible net, he seemed to be out of breath, and a wave was set off in his heart at this moment, and that wave seemed to be rolling all the time with a voice, "I'm not me!" Chris felt like he was drowning in the waves, he didn't know that he was trembling all over his body at the moment, and the corners of his mouth were twitching unconsciously.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed the robot monster hand in front of him, and yelled, "What do you want to do? ”
The robot Wadang looked at Chris expressionlessly, "Master, I want to wipe your sweat." Only then did Chris notice the towel in Wadang's hand, hurriedly let go of Wadang's hand, took the towel and said, "Thank you!" ”
Wadang still replied in a mechanical cavity, "You're welcome! Chris looked at the machine in front of him and smiled inexplicably, "What's wrong with me?" Why say thank you to a home robot! ”
He shook his head and looked out the window, but his mind was still swirling with the experience he had just meditated on. Soft sunlight poured in, Chris's favorite warm color. He involuntarily pushed them away and walked into the sunlight, stretching his body, which seemed to be a little frozen. He opened his palm and let the sunlight flow between his fingers, but he didn't feel the warmth of the sun at all, he looked up at the dazzling sun again, but he didn't feel the slightest glare of the sun, he shook his head hard, "Is it really not Chris anymore?" The voice in that head is Chris, no! I think I must be a little insane! ”
He was quiet in the sun, and he didn't dare to knock on the door that was hidden in his mind, because the secret in it made him not like himself, and made him feel even more that he was not himself.
At noon, Waddang had already arranged lunch, and Chris stared at the cold machine for a long time and said, "What if you had a human mind!" Will you still be so willing to work for humanity? Do you feel tired? Will you rebel or even go to war with humanity? Chris smiled and shook his head, "I guess you'd better not have human intelligence!" It's really horrible! ”
Waddang just blinked at Chris with innocent machine eyes, after all, it had no emotional intelligence, and it didn't know what human so-called feelings were.
