Chapter 285 Happy Cemetery
However, at this time, the staff at the Brain Wave Management Center were even more surprised than Qiao Song.
"The indicators in the Happy Cemetery suddenly increased 50 times. Because the concentration was too high, an experimental soul was briefly squeezed through the barrier!"
"Detected that the other party has returned! Stay for ten seconds!"
"Time difference correction! The estimated feeling is about ten minutes, and the time difference has been recorded in the log!"
"The soul has returned, but there has been irreversible damage. It has been transferred to the repair cabin for observation!"
In the laboratory that had not been so busy for a long time, a soul that was wriggling like smoke and had tentacles was placed in the observation room in the center.
You Yitong, who had already changed her clothes, stood next to Jiang Qixin, who had a calm expression on her face.
"What's the time difference, and what's the rejection reaction like?"
Someone from the not-so-large number of experimenters immediately came forward to answer.
“About 1:60!”
Such a large time difference can basically verify their previous guesses. Why would someone have entered the game for such a long time, and still have family members in the outside world who would guard them? That's because the time has not been that long, and it may have only been a few years outside.
There will be no filial son for a patient who has been sick for a long time. They have not yet reached the point of being abandoned. Of course, some people are born to be abandoned, so they have never thought about going back.
At least not returning to my original body.
You Yitong's jaw was clenched, and the excitement had not yet completely faded from his eyes: "That butcher can adapt to the human body that was randomly thrown in, so doesn't that mean that the brain wave projection experiment has been completely successful?"
"It's not completely random. At least the age and gender are consistent. If the occupation matches, the stay time is estimated to be longer!"
The experimenter's tone was much more surprised than You Yitong's: "The critical value detected so far is 60! Once the number of funerals exceeds 60, the barrier will be supported with a small crack! If we let a soul through, it should be feasible."
"After that, as long as we can calculate the specific values, it won't be a fantasy to allow people's souls to successfully travel between the two worlds!"
Jiang Qixin looked at the surprised experimenters, and his tone was still calm: "Don't be happy too soon. When we invaded the Happy Cemetery for the first time and deployed a large number of players, funerals of more than 100 people were held before. The special area was almost buried by us. We failed to successfully open the barrier at that time. The difference with this time is already very obvious."
It's not the number that matters, it's the people who hold the funerals.
"Qiao Song is the key to opening the barrier. Let's do another comparative experiment to see if there is another funeral with 60 people without her. Will the barrier crack again? Otherwise, we still can't be sure that the number 60 is correct."
The experimenters who were poured a basin of cold water were not in a hurry and quickly hurried to do the control experiment. They had enough places for the control experiment. It happened that it was daytime outside and Qiao Song fell asleep and could not get out.
"Miao Tingting has been complaining about not feeling well since she came back. I noticed that the number of her poisonous insects seems to have decreased a lot. Do you want to find an experimenter to help her check it out?"
You Yitong pinched the knuckles of his white gloves and said sarcastically: "It's better to see if those bugs have turned into stone powder."
The top leaders of the Newcomer Alliance, as well as those who came into contact with the experiment, all swore in front of Jiang Qixin's shrine that they would never betray him.
However, Miao Tingting's ability is really troublesome. You Yitong has always felt that her ability to control insects will sooner or later cause big problems if there is no system constraint.
"Don't worry, she has no chance of competing with you for the final spot now."
Jiang Qixin glanced aside inconspicuously: "This time in her yard, you have tried to travel through five different bodies, and the rejection reaction was very small. This is a good start."
You Yitong's jaw tightened for a moment: "Then when can I try to go to reality?"
Jiang Qixin suddenly laughed: "It would be too costly to return to reality. Look at the butcher's soul that was scrapped after being used once. He has already experienced a resurrection game in the game. Logically speaking, the resurrection process in the game should imitate the process of human souls passing away."
What they are studying is how to travel back and forth between the real world and the infinite flow world more reasonably.
"After a guy like that went through a real resurrection process, he was scrapped in 10 minutes. Do you think you can make a safe return trip with your current level? The most you can do is stay longer."
You Yitong stopped talking.
Jiang Qi Xin looked at the new data that appeared on the screen with great interest.
In the new report submitted by the experimenters, 60 souls were released again, but none of them successfully passed through the barrier.
The next experiment was with 120 people, which still failed.
The surveillance cameras in the cemetery are all disposable and will disappear after use. In addition, it has been too busy these two days, and the things they have set up over the years have basically been used up.
Jiang Qixin knew that there was no need to look at the arrangement over there, the answer was very obvious -
"Qiao Song is the key to opening the barrier. After she entered the game, she has become very different from before she was sent up as a stone. She now has human emotions. This is the key."
"The barriers of this world have changed because of her."
Maybe she herself hasn't realized it yet.
Jiang Qi Xin smiled and knocked on a secret code on the wall. He saw countless eyeballs embedded in the mechanical body around the square surveillance box arranged in the dream world.
"She's here. You should go and give her a good reception and guide her."
You Yitong's face, which had managed to put its expression into place with great difficulty, became gloomy again.
Pulling his white gloves tightly, he led a few people out of the side door of the management center.
At this time, Qiao Song knew that he was being monitored.
She looked at the ubiquitous eyes on the arms of the robot butlers and felt that the surveillance was too obvious.
"Why do you want to make it into the shape of an eyeball? Wouldn't it be more covert if you put in more pinhole cameras?"
After she finished complaining, she patted the crow and asked it to put her down.
After Li Yuan completed his mission as a means of transportation, he quickly changed back into the form of a bird and stood on her shoulder: "Maybe it was also affected by the dream."
Things in dreams are always absurd, and the robot's big round eyes seem to be in line with common sense.
The bird on my shoulder seemed a lot lighter than before.
Qiao Song noticed that Li Yuan was saving his energy. He was now smaller than a crow and looked almost like a parrot.
"It seems like the time you spend in the dream is getting shorter and shorter each time. Is there something wrong with the ship?"
Li Yuan was silent for a while, as if he was intentionally avoiding the topic: "The second batch of players is already being prepared. I will try my best to send them in before the island sinks."
Qiao Song: "So you knew from the beginning that the mass funeral would cause cracks in the barrier in the sky?"
Qiao Song had seen it when he was in the sky before. Countless players’ stranded souls blocked the screen, causing it to crack slightly.
The key information sent by Shu Ruyue this time further confirmed this.
A soul went out through the crack.
Although it was only for a short while, it at least shows that this method is useful.
Li Yuan, Fan Xi and their colleagues have tried countless methods in the game over the years and have placed many undercover agents. Perhaps he has actually monitored the experiments conducted by the Newcomer Alliance and the financial support provided by the black post.
"Has your backup plan abcd actually already anticipated this possibility?"
Li Yuan didn't say yes, nor did he say no.
He spoke softly on Qiao Song's shoulder, "You will definitely be able to go to the real world. This is what we promised you."
Qiao Song always felt that the tone was a little strange, and soon, the noise coming from the management center distracted her attention.
A large number of flying robots emerged from the hive and surrounded them like something out of a science fiction movie.
Li Yuan flashed and stood in front, and as agreed, a large number of black feathers burned collectively in an instant.
Qiao Song didn't care about Li Yuan's life or death. He just said, "Be careful," and accurately found the pipe that had been marked in advance, left the crow behind and left.
A huge feather and combined monster blocked the front, and each burning feather turned into a flying sword and shot into the joints of the robot.
Bang, bang, bang——
Amid the sound of serial explosions, Qiao Song had already entered the ventilation duct that Miao Tingting had marked in advance.
That mark is the same as the special mark left by the poisonous insect. We are all smart people, so there is no need to say the collusion clearly.
Qiao Song knew that the missing person she was looking for should be imprisoned in the same place as Miao Tingting's men.
The path reserved in advance by the internal staff was much more convenient to walk on. Qiao Song suddenly heard a ding sound in her heart, as if a force had returned from a certain space belonging to her.
It seems that Li Yuan has gone back. This guy has sliced a lot of pieces, but this is the first time that he has directly consumed the crow's soul and returned to his body.
Since the Hell Community saw him, it seemed that this person was never in a complete state.
Qiao Song felt something was strange but continued to climb forward.
You Yitong, who was outside, had already looked irritated. Looking at the robots exploding like fireballs, he called Jiang Qixin's private line and said, "Miao Tingting has indeed betrayed us. How long are you going to tolerate her? Also, Qiao Song has already gone in through the exhaust duct."
Jiang Qixin still used the same tone as before:
"Keep chasing her and force her to the central control room. You Yitong, you should know what Qiao Song means to this world. Don't always think about killing her. Even if she dies, she still has a chance to climb back up from the river."
You Yitong moved his lips and made a "hmm" sound.
Jiang Qixin's cold words continued:
"You Yitong, Qiao Song's soul is the key to traveling back in time. You have to tear off her flesh, break her legs, eat her strength to replace her, and chew her up. This is meaningful, and this is what you need most."
This was like a phone call with the devil. You Yitong understood the persuasive tone behind it. Jiang Qixin always sat in the rear and let the people she chose charge forward on her behalf to achieve her goals.
Boss Cai has no choice, and Lao Long has no choice.
You Yitong had no choice.
He hated these people, Jiang Qixin, and especially Qiao Song.
Fate had placed him in such a situation, where he could only become a weapon for others over and over again, doing what he hated the most. He hated all those who had created his fate.
A look of resentment flashed across his face, and You Yitong went into the ventilation duct that Qiao Song had just entered.
Skills cannot be used in the dream world, and Qiao Song also understood why Miao Tingting was so valued. Her insects are already an unsolved mystery for science.
Qiao Song still had Miao Tingting's poisonous insect in his hand. It had been lying on her body, not biting people nor running around. It would occasionally move its tentacles in the maze-like pipes to tell Qiao Song the direction.
This brain wave research center is really strange. Qiao Songna smelled all kinds of smells from the pipes, most of which were the howlings of souls.
The dream world is different from the real world. Human emotions here are extroverted and uncontrolled. The joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in dreams will not be hidden, so this factory is full of extroverted emotions.
This is almost a more obvious way of guiding the way than the insect.
Qiao Song crawled directly to the area where the emotions were the strongest, and the tentacles of the insect began to tremble violently.
Boom, boom, boom—some urgent sound came from behind the pipe.
When Qiao Song heard the noise, she knew they were pursuers, so she simply stopped climbing, found the right direction, kicked open the ventilation duct and jumped down.
This location was very close to her destination.
In addition to the strong feeling of the soul wailing, there is also a lot of smell of motor oil and fresh metal smell mixed in, which gives a very strange feeling.
Qiao Song did not see the canned souls placed in the display cabinet as before, but saw a large number of black wires.
They were like wriggling blood vessels, thick and terrifying, with flashes of red light flashing from time to time.
There were just a lot of empty cans lying around.
The soul that Qiao Song smelled had already been put into the pipe.
[No progress allowed! ]
[The area ahead is a no-travel zone! ]
One by one, red slogans appeared on the large central screen, and the dim room finally lit up.
Qiao Song seemed to understand what was buried under this management center.
She ignored the triangular warning signs with exclamation marks and rushed straight down, and the people chasing her became more and more anxious.
The footsteps were so heavy that there was no intention of hiding.
After hearing the noise, Qiao Song actually shouted, "You Yitong, do you know what you look like now? You look like a dog that your master has let out to maintain law and order!"
Qiao Song deliberately added fuel to the fire, and sure enough, there was a loud bang from behind, and something like a soul jar or a pipe was kicked over.
This kid didn't use any skills even when he was so angry. It seems that props and skills cannot be used in the dream world.
Apart from the poisonous insects like Miao Tingting, which are 80% used in the real world, only a large number of mechanical products can be used.
But there is one more thing, Li Yuan’s crow form can also use related abilities, although they are weak, but they can be used.
If Qiao Song eliminates Miao Tingting, he can almost get the correct answer.
The top copy managers can use their own power to create a slight advantage here, while the guys from the Newcomer Alliance use the power of copies to create a separate area in this world.
This power most likely came from herself at that time, the stone that had just come ashore.
Qiao Song crashed headfirst into the glass-like protective shield in front of him, allowing the electric arc to hit his body and causing a numbing sensation, but he still rolled firmly into a certain area.
When he looked up again, Qiao Song saw a world that was too empty, with a dome hanging high, like another dark sky.
The mechanical cliffs made of steel were filled with cans that looked like insect eggs, and the black wires were their blood vessels. Countless mechanical apostles patrolled in the air, combing the wires.
Every smooth golden metal surface reflects the red and blue light shining down from the ceiling, flowing continuously.
The red one is the soul that flows away like blood, and the blue one is the liquid that is used for something unknown after the soul disappears.
Qiao Song even saw a miniature city in the central area. It was the blueprint of the dream world and the real appearance of the world she once lived in.
The red and blue light there is pure light.
However, this city is an ideal city built by the souls of the dead and the living.
This is the place that the Newcomer Alliance wants to build, a copy world where one can freely travel between the world of the dead and the world of the living.
There were already mechanical devices all over it, connecting those red and blue light strips. A word naturally popped up in Qiao Song's mind: cyber...
【bite--】
I could hear a ding-ding-ding sound in my ears, which went from vague to clear and finally became a crisp reminder.
[Ding——The player has been detected entering a special area, the new Cyber City is not open yet, the current game rules are not clear, please leave in time. ]
[Ding——Special permissions detected, do you want to change the administrator identity? After changing the identity, you can directly manipulate the current unowned area. ]
It doesn't make sense that such a big city doesn't have a directly bound administrator.
Qiao Song could have changed her identity when she was in Zootopia, but she didn't, so it was difficult for her to control the city, and most of the mess was left to other administrators.
Now she won't change.
The president of the Newcomer Alliance sent You Yitong, the mad dog, to follow her, almost chasing Qiao Song hand in hand into the area.
No wonder these people didn’t seem to care despite Miao Tingting’s obvious betrayal. It wasn’t difficult to erase the marks on the ventilation ducts with machinery, and even the surveillance cameras were placed so blatantly.
They don't care.
What they want is Qiao Song to come in.
Perhaps the system detected that Qiao Song was unmoved, so it prompted again.
[Ding——The Cyber City Soul System is still in operation. Please do not damage it at will. The consequences of system disorder are unpredictable.]
The mechanical music in Qiao Song's ears was clear and obvious, and the guy who chased her in stopped talking for some time.
Qiao Song stared at the honeycomb-like holes on the wall. Each jar contained a soul.
She heard all kinds of wails like thunder and lightning.
Most of them said it hurts.
"I don't want to melt, I don't want to turn into coins, let me go home, please, let me go home..."
"It hurts so much, help me, please let me jump into the river of life and death, I would rather be reborn, I won't go back..."
"Save me, save me..."
This is simply a large soul trading factory, this is not what Cyber City is supposed to be like.
When Qiao Song took over Zishu City, he had seen various mechanical devices. Annie told him at the time that it was just a backup in the system.
Strictly speaking, the entire Infinite Highway is filled with various devices from the cyber world, and the system prompts that players hear are the best proof of this.
The entire world is connected by a huge mechanical device, and the purpose of cyber existence is just a management system.
Lao Long built a backup highway in Zootopia, and the guys from the Newcomer Alliance actually made a backup of the system, a bloody backup.
As soon as Qiao Song approached the wall, a new row of cans lit up with cursor text flashing on them.
[There are 180 souls in this round of experiments, and the barrier is being impacted...]
Qiao Song didn't even blink. The soul in the jar was instantly sucked out by the pipe like liquid and pumped to another area. Red and blue lights flashed, as if turning one life into another kind of wealth, or experimental supplies.
However, Qiao Song took advantage of the light reflected from the metal, tilted his head slightly, turned around, took out a weapon from the toolbox, and blocked the attack from behind.
With a crisp clang, the metal crowbar blocked the knife coming from behind.
A sword to be precise.
After entering the cyber world, the restrictions on props and professional skills seem to have been lifted.
This was the moment the pursuers were waiting for.
You Yitong, who looked like a medieval knight in duel uniform, was very excited at this moment:
"You finally figured it out. The funeral you held earlier actually sacrificed those people."
"Qiao Song, those guys you personally sent up to the sky didn't actually go home. They just became tools to pry open cracks in the barrier. Qiao Song, do you still think you are noble now?!"
The accessories were picked up by the crowbar, but You Yitong was not in a hurry at all. He took off one of the white gloves, and on his hand covered with cracks and cuts, white pigeons in strange states began to emerge one after another.
"I hate hypocritical and kind people like you. Who do you think you are? A savior? What do you think is the use of those friends you helped to make along the way? You are just born high and mighty. They just fancy your status and your ability. They want you to protect them, but what did you do?"
The feathers of all the white pigeons flying in the sky suddenly turned bright red.
"You sent them up to prove to us that they are the best consumables!"
[Magician's Flying Pigeon, Blood Version]
[Randomly replace the special ability of a dying person nearby. After using it, the pigeon disappears forever with the person and cannot be summoned again.]
You Yitong had been preparing for this moment for a long time. He hadn't used any magician-related abilities for a long time.
Several red pigeons flew directly into the surrounding jars that still contained souls.
Qiao Song soon heard a new soul wailing, this time it was not crying out in pain, but in fear.
'No, don't take my life!'
The twisted soul had its chest pierced by the pigeon, and the red and black pigeon went into the jar in his place. Outside the jar, several transparent silk threads were threaded through the soul that came out of the jar.
A man in a white uniform stood in front of Qiao Song like a zombie.
[Professional pilot aircraft module is loading. 】
A huge airplane head suddenly appeared in this space and crashed into Qiao Song in less than two seconds.
Qiao Song watched the plane turning towards him, but it was too late to dodge. She crossed her hands and suddenly a shadow of a horse appeared on her body.
[Wuma·The office physique of laborers is loading...]
[Slacking off occasionally at work is the key to regulating your mood! 】
The huge crash turned into a pillow-like slap.
The airplane head turned into a giant inflatable doll with various nap words written on it.
You Yitong never thought that he could kill Qiao Song by just picking out a random player. Most of the useful players he exchanged with pigeons were still behind.
In an instant, several red pigeons disappeared, and at the same time, a dozen players came out.
When Qiao Song saw these guys hung with transparent silk threads, she knew that they were all puppets. Without waiting for these people to activate their skills, she immediately let Wu Ma's phantom continue to fly out.
A depressing atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire area, and at the same time several special compartments appeared.
[Workers also have negative emotions. It is the privilege of every worker to take a paid shit in the toilet! ]
Half of the people controlled by the pigeons were instantly locked in a cubicle with a 30-minute countdown on it, and they could not leave the cubicle before slacking off for half an hour.
You Yitong reacted very quickly and immediately manipulated the remaining half to fight back.
[Professional champagne tower design requires that each cup be placed into the most perfect shape! ]
A huge champagne tower fell from the sky. Qiao Song didn't have time to dodge and happened to hit one of the glasses. The entire champagne tower collapsed instantly.
The broken glass and spilled champagne turned into jagged cages and corrosive liquids.
Qiao Song's figure melted away almost instantly.
But soon, a re-condensed shadow appeared not far away.
Qiao Song looked at her palm in confusion. She had used Wei Yang's ability in the cemetery before, so she should not be able to use it again, but she just used it subconsciously.
But the other abilities that I had used before didn’t work, but those of the twelve zodiac signs were all okay.
The difference between these skills is that, except for the dragon and snake, all of the original agent players of the Twelve Zodiac Signs are still alive, in the mirror zoo that Qiao Song is currently managing.
Qiao Song didn't think too much about it and probably almost summoned a row of fitness equipment.
【Hai Pig·Burn my calories! 】
The players whose bodies were controlled by You Yitong were forced to appear on a treadmill, with a piggy bank that was constantly rolling next to them.
Qiao Song took the piggy bank and quickly grabbed a handful of money from the pig's stomach and stuffed it into his toolbox.
Since all the soul coins were used to purchase the cemetery in the cemetery, the progress bar on the toolbox had long been reset to zero. Now that a lot of soul coins had been stuffed in, it began to move forward slowly again.
You Yitong actually laughed when he saw this scene: "Qiao Song, have you not discovered the truth about soul coins yet? On the one hand, you claim to be the hope of the players, and on the other hand, you use the coins created when the players' souls are crushed as a means of asset power. What's the difference between you and me?!"
A huge guillotine fell from under his black robe with a red background.
[The magician's decapitation trick, you won't die after the knife falls, but your head and body will really be separated. ]
Qiao Song felt that she was out of control and was about to fly towards the bed. She waved her hand and her whole body turned into a furry white rabbit doll.
The little rabbit was put on the guillotine. With a click, the guillotine fell down, and the rabbit's body was separated, leaving cotton wool all over the ground.
Then the different limbs turned into different little rabbits, and each rabbit held a pen in its hand.
[In the fairy tale world of Rabbit, magicians should appear in the circus! ]
Several animals suddenly appeared on the field, and a lion roared and rushed towards the magician behind the guillotine.
The clown on a unicycle, breathing fire, blocked You Yitong's escape route.
You Yitong's view was blocked by the circus tent that suddenly descended from the sky. After he dealt with the lion and kicked away the fire-breathing clown, Qiao Song was no longer visible outside the tent.
In this empty world where the walls are filled with mechanical devices, cans and wires, humans are the smallest things.
Qiao Song climbed up the wall quickly like a nimble gecko.
She was looking for a device, something like a mastermind.
When Rat Annie handed her the miniature Cyber City, she said:
"For a small company or city like us who outsources the main system, we only get a small metal briefcase with a backup contract for the main system. In fact, we don't know where the real main system is. Maybe we can find it by digging up the entire highway."
The city where Wu Ma is located also processes data through outsourcing.
Now the roads have been submerged. Cyber City was not supposed to have a physical entity, but now a physical entity has been created intentionally.
There should be more than just contracts in that briefcase.
Whether in a dream or in a game, any area can easily connect to the main system and receive tasks, which in turn can be inferred that cyber copies are everywhere.
Since Qiao Song entered this area, he had a very strange, artificially created sense of déjà vu.
It was like someone kept saying in her ear, this is Cyber, this is the last copy key that belongs to you.
Its main brain is on the road, and it has been waiting for Qiao Song to take over. It and the Newcomer Alliance, like You Yitong who is now forcing Qiao Song to enter this area, hope that the stone will return to its original position.
Because this is Qiao Song's world, she has to return to her place before her friends can go back.
With a rustle, a glowing red suitcase emerged from the tumbling wires.
You Yitong, who was getting out of the circus tent below, heard the president's voice coming from the radio beside her ear: "Go up slowly, let her hold the suitcase first."
You Yitong's breathing was quite unstable, although it seemed that Jiang Qixin was asking him to act, forcing Qiao Song to go to the top to find the weakness of the cyber copy and rescue the souls trapped in the jars.
But only You Yitong himself knew that he had clearly tried his best, but was still pinned to the ground.
Jiang Qixin's words were like nails stuck in his mind:
"You Yitong, don't chase her. Let her turn on the machine and bring the game in. Qiao Song is the key to controlling the barrier to the human world. We need to turn her back into a god and make her the first step for us to pass freely."
"Only by becoming her switch and controlling her can we achieve the final perfect goal."
You Yitong finally stopped. He looked at the top of the building which was filled with light. The red and blue light bloomed from the box, illuminating Qiao Song's eyes.
But that thing was actually the rope in You Yitong's eyes, slowly tying Qiao Song there.
All around, the jars in which the souls were still rolling all stopped vibrating, and the pipes that transmitted them were either broken or controlled and cut off.
A world filled with buzzing sounds.
Qiao Song felt that there were jumping squares and lines in front of her eyes. She grabbed a key in the box. It was the first key that bloomed when she was still a stone, after she first came ashore and heard the prayers of thousands of humans.
Humans used this thing as the cornerstone to build the first player building.
Qiao Song had a sense of what would happen after taking this thing away, but weren't these things that she had brought ashore underestimating her?
If she wants to be a human, she can be a human; if she wants to be a god, she can be a god; no one can influence her thoughts.
Qiao Song crushed the key composed of chips, and the broken key entered her palm in a more primitive halo form.
The entire steel cliff came to a complete standstill, submerged in a random white light.
In an instant, countless overlapping three-dimensional pictures appeared in front of Qiao Song's eyes, as if he was opening a comic book.
There were countless strings falling from the sky, holding on to countless guys with player identities. The guy in the jar also had them, as did You Yitong below.
Even the administrators have one or two of these.
Countless 0s and 1s flashed across Qiao Song's eyes. In the last moment when her mind was taken away, she grabbed her toolbox with one hand and saw a huge world in the box. There were such lines on every person.
These lines are the energy of the system.
【bite--】
The system prompt sound that had sounded countless times was played out loud for the first time in the empty world and echoed.
Qiao Song has left the black replica cyber city and appeared in a snow-white space.
In front of me is a gorgeous gem that looks like a jewel wrapped in gauze, shining with all kinds of star-like brilliance.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
A familiar voice from a long time ago sounded behind him. Qiao Song turned around and saw Dr. Ye, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.
Her features are clear and gentle, with a sense of compassion of a scientific researcher.
But only Dr. Ye's face remains the same as before; the rest of his body, including his head, is all mechanical.
"Qiao Song, I haven't seen you for a long time. You have really grown up a lot."
Qiao Song didn't greet her immediately, but just looked at the robot quietly for a long time.
"You are not Dr. Ye."
Qiao Song's voice was firm and resolute.
Many years ago, when Dr. Ye was preparing to join the system as the brain and try to manage the road in a more humane way, he came to meet Xiao Shitou.
Ye Shuyun told Qiao Song, who was still a stone, in person on that boat: "If we meet again one day, be careful of me. By then, I will no longer be myself."
Absolute rationality, without good or evil.
It was many years later that Qiao Song understood the meaning of that reminder.
"So you're part of the main system?"
The robot opposite nodded with a typical smile on its face.
"Hello, Qiao Song. I was created by the minds of the first group of people who came ashore. I am an absolute spiritual body and an infinite highway management system."
"Do you want to free those freed souls and let them return to the human world? Then take my authority. The system should be yours."
Qiao Song looked at her quietly without saying anything.
The robot's tone of voice is very similar to that of a salesperson at a property offering a discount.
But this was not what made Qiao Song most angry.
Qiao Song blinked his eyes: "Can you please not talk to me with Dr. Ye's face? You have so many mechanical devices stuffed with souls, but you talk to me with a face that makes me feel the softest. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Using this technique during negotiations is simply an attempt to gain more advantages or to influence other people's minds.
The corners of the robot's mouth in the white space gradually flattened, and finally turned into a face that Qiao Song had seen before, but the age was different.
"Hello, Qiao Song."
A smile quickly appeared on the mechanical device's face, exactly the same disgusting smile that Qiao Song saw when he first met You Yitong.
"I'm Jiang Qixin, the president of the Newcomer Alliance. I have a win-win deal. Do you want to hear it?"
The author has something to say:
Qiao Song's indifferent face: I don't want to
