Chapter Seventy-One: Perception
At this time, Mercury also followed the portal back to the main control room of the rebel base.
Seeing Xia Lian, she asked.
Have you picked your "afterlife"? ”
"Why does that sound strange?" Xia Lian said with a strange face.
Mercury thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed some." ”
"The choice is good, but I can't make it yet."
Xia Lian replied.
After a pause, his eyes couldn't help but focus on Mercury, her over-the-knee leather boots had disappeared, replaced by a pair of slender and white long legs, without a trace of flaws, even if she was not wearing stockings, there was an illusion of wearing stockings.
"Why don't you wear boots?" Xia Lian asked.
"Borrowed by Aisha, I used the micro and nano of those boots to make her a regular dress, and the extreme environment still caused a lot of damage to ordinary clothes.
And I haven't broken down the metal to replenish the micro-nano for the time being. ”
Xia Lian bowed his head, he looked at the incomparably middle two clothes on his body, "Then take back my clothes." ”
Mercury raised his hand, and the armor and gold on Xia Lian's body turned into a pure black suit.
"The permissions of these micro and nano nano have been handed over to you, and in the future, you can transform clothes at will through AS, and even change your appearance, as well as some optical stealth functions.
If you don't have an excessive energy response, even military radar won't be aware of your presence. ”
Xia Lian bowed, "What about you?" ”
"Don't you like my bare feet?" Mercury said suspiciously, "But I can detect your male hormone.....
"Alright." Xia Lian raised his hand and interrupted, he said helplessly.
"It's just a normal reaction, not even a physiological reaction, why was you say it like this, I'm like a silver devil." ”
Mercury was very interested and did not continue, but changed the subject.
"According to my database, a long time ago, human women were not allowed to expose too much skin, and their legs were generally hidden under long skirts.
The legs are visible when reproduction is taking place, and the legs are closer to the reproductive core, which is generally considered to be the ladder to the reproductive core.
So, at that time, exposing the bare feet to men was generally seen as some kind of X suggestion.
This was seen as an oppression of women, although later, with the emancipation of the mind, women no longer had to wear long skirts to cover their legs.
But this concept has been perpetuated with the influence of genes and society.
This is also the reason why the legs are attractive to men when they do not have sexual characteristics and have little to do with fertility. ”
"It's been popularized with some strange knowledge." Xia Lian complained.
Then, he looked at Mercury and teased, "So, do you mean you're hinting at something to me?" ”
Mercury fell silent and speechless.
Xia Lian smiled, no longer continuing the topic, but asked curiously.
"Do you feel it?"
"What do you mean?" Mercury asked.
"It's, um...."Xia Lian thought for a moment, "it's the feeling when you come into contact with people." ”
He looked at Mercury, "You come here." ”
Mercury walked towards Charlen.
Xia Lian reached out and grabbed her hand, making her palm up, and he gently slid his fingertips over her palm.
"Does it itch?"
Mercury came back to his senses and bowed his head.
"A little."
After a pause, she said, "I have two states, one is normal mode and the other is combat mode.
The former is actually no different from a normal person, while the latter is closed off from all sensations, including pain, except for necessary perceptions.
The normal pattern is the kindness given to us by the Creator, which allows us to feel like human beings when we are not fighting. ”
Xia Lian fell silent, the girl's words were so calm, but it slowed down people's heartbeats a little.
"Adapting a human body is more scalable than you might think." "My brain is still a human brain, and my body can simulate any perception that feeds back to me," Mercury said. ”
Xia Lian bowed his head, he didn't have any strange thoughts about asking this question.
It's just that there is an image in my mind once in a while.
That is, when she was with a modified person in the life of the big river crab, she was tired and exhausted and collapsed in bed, and then she looked at him with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.
The expression seemed to say..... That's it?
This is a nightmare for any man with self-esteem.
"Do you have emotional fluctuations then?" Xia Lian asked.
"What do you mean?"
Xia Lian frowned and thought, as if he was thinking about how to explain his thoughts to Mercury, who was also waiting quietly on one side.
Then, under Mercury's slightly wide-open eyes, Xia Lian actually got up, broke through the boundary of intimate distance, approached her cheek, and looked into her eyes.
The eyes are the windows of the soul, if the two people look at each other for more than eight seconds, even if there is no love, there will be some abnormalities, of course, there are some exceptions.... Like ugly.
"So, will you feel like your heart is racing?" Xia Lian said.
Mercury was silent, her red lips slightly opened, she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
After a moment, she spoke.
"Transforming people doesn't have a heart in the true sense of the word."
Xia Lian raised his eyebrows, sat on the chair with some interest, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and rest first." ”
Mercury nodded to Xia Lian and walked out of the room silently, where she couldn't notice it, and there was a blush on her neck that spread visibly to her earlobes.
At the same time, the voice broadcast of AS was heard.
[The body was successfully detected, and it was preliminarily determined that the pheromones produced by ingesting hormones stimulated the host's central nervous system, began to secrete dopamine and endorphins, and produced certain physiological impulses.
Non-organism problems, adjustable. 】
She didn't say anything, just silently turned her head to look at Xia Lian who was lying on the chair, and then turned to leave.
....
Xia Lian left after Mercury left the main control room, and he returned to the room that the Kui Starship members had sorted out in the Resistance base.
After changing his clothes, he lay down on the bed, he originally wanted to be paralyzed in bed for a day, after all, there was nothing particularly urgent.
But Xia Lian had only been lying down for a few hours when Mercury pushed the door and walked in to wake him up.
Xia Lian looked at the mercury at the head of the bed with sleepy eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Something happened to that pirate ship." Mercury said.
Xia Lian instantly got up from the bed and changed his clothes.
"You really don't give you a break..... However, it is a good thing for us, we should be able to return to the Duchy early. ”
