【Exclusive from Jinjiang】The Light of Humanity
It was clearly midsummer, and the weather was pleasant yesterday, with the temperature as high as Mei Huayue's enthusiasm. Unexpectedly, the scene outside the window changed so drastically in just twenty hours.
The floor-to-ceiling window next to the bed was half-closed, and the empty side was just enough to see the sky outside the window.
"GT, time."
"It is 7:03am local time on August 25th, the outdoor temperature is 29 degrees, and the weather is sunny."
Luo Shiqin sighed: "Are you sure it's sunny? It's obviously windy and rainy outside."
She looked sideways and saw the small mechanical ball suspended in the air, and the dot-shaped eyes displayed on the electronic screen blinked again and again.
"Follow my instructions," Luo Shiqin smiled, "rotate the horizontal axis 90 degrees to the right, aim the scanning eye at the French window, and check the weather outside the window."
The little mechanical ball obediently followed her instructions, and it froze for a moment when it was aimed outside the window.
"...outdoor temperature 29 degrees," it drily revised its previous report, "the weather will be sunny and then thunderstorms."
"But, Ms. Luo." GT's electronic voice was as serious as ever, but Luo Shiqin still felt a little aggrieved. "I've connected to the Internet. The weather forecast before six o'clock this morning indicated that it would be sunny."
From this point of view, GT and the GT in "The Age of Intelligence" are not the same. If we have to make a distinction, Luo Shiqin can only say that the current artificial intelligence assistant is more youthful and shy, and is far less handy and flexible than the GT in "The Age of Intelligence".
Maybe it's because it was formatted?
Luo Shiqin came back to her senses, turned on the air conditioner, got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
She had closed the window tightly yesterday, but now standing by the edge she could still feel the cold wind coming in.
The cold wind that blew in quickly caused Luo Shiqin's body temperature to drop rapidly, and her brain, which had just woken up, came back to consciousness instantly.
“BOOM——!!”
In the gloomy sky, lightning flashed in the distance, and a few seconds later, deafening thunder came.
The thunder was so loud that it shook my lungs.
Luo Shiqin raised her hand and pressed it against her chest, feeling her heart beating wildly beneath her hand.
This feeling... is somewhat familiar.
Logically speaking, with the physical fitness bonus of the hexagonal warrior of Block A, Luo Shiqin would not be frightened by this sound.
But whether it was the pounding heart or the gradually dry throat, this reaction that seemed to be beyond the control of the mind and will made everything become particularly bad.
"Ms. Luo?"
The floor-to-ceiling window was thick, thick enough to block out most of the sound; but it was also thin enough to not stop the cold wind that was trying hard to squeeze in.
The gray windows could not hide the lightning rolling in the dark clouds in the sky. Luo Shiqin lowered her head slightly and could see the constant flow of cars under the dim street lights.
The weather today is terrible, so gloomy that it seems like it will completely fall down in the next second.
"...Ms. Luo?"
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
Something is hiding in the depths of darkness, waiting for its chance to strike.
The dark brown pupils stared out the window without blinking, the bright lightning reflected deep in the pupils, making the originally dark pupil color become extremely light—
"Ms. Luo? Are you okay?"
The small mechanical ball made a circle and flew in front of Luo Shiqin's eyes. The worry was clearly visible on the small electronic screen.
"Your heart rate has increased significantly in a short period of time, accompanied by slight twitching——"
"I'm fine."
Luo Shiqin closed her eyes, and when she opened them again she had regained her composure.
"But soon we may have other problems."
She turned around, quickly changed her clothes, then picked up her cell phone and rushed out of the room.
"Mei Huayue!" Luo Shiqin stood in the living room, shouting her pen pal's name loudly while opening the chat group on her mobile phone, "Mei Huayue!"
【Happy Big Family (8)】
【Sailaolao】: 【Today's dinner party is cancelled.】
After saying this, Luo Shiqin raised her head, frowned, and shouted again: "Mei Huayue?!"
There was no sound in the house.
Due to work reasons, my pen pal is living in the home of local resident Luo Shiqin this month, and the two are currently roommates.
But now, another person in the house is missing.
Luo Shiqin cursed in a low voice, then said, "GT! Call Mei Huayue!"
"I'm calling you now." GT followed her and watched the woman rush to the bathroom without stopping. "Ms. Luo?"
"Stay outside!"
Luo Shiqin said loudly, staring at herself in the mirror without blinking - to be precise, staring at the woman's neck in the mirror.
The single eye that was marked by lightning four months ago is now open and looking at Luo Shiqin outside the mirror.
In the mirror, there was still no trace of the Book of Mutated Life on the woman's head, but the lightning eye was still open, and even moved left and right provocatively, as if observing the surrounding environment.
She was silent for a second, then raised her right hand and pressed it hard against her throat.
But this time, the Lightning Eyes did not close in pain as if it was attacked. Instead, it was more obedient and allowed Luo Shiqin to press her fingertips on its fist-sized pupils.
There was no strange touch. Even though what was happening in the mirror seemed particularly degrading, what she felt with her fingertips was still her own smooth skin.
Luo Shiqin exerted some strength, squinted her eyes, and watched the woman in the mirror use her slightly sharper nails to poke the skin on her neck - a little bright red liquid overflowed from the pupil of her lightning eye, but it still did not close.
"Uh, Luo Shiqin?"
I heard my pen pal’s voice from behind me.
Mei Huayue was holding a neatly packed box and wearing a grey coat, standing at the door of the bathroom, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"I just received a call from GT, saying you were looking for me?" Her originally relaxed tone suddenly turned into fear after she saw the blood on the woman's throat when she turned around, "What are you doing?!"
"It's okay." Luo Shiqin wiped off the liquid nonchalantly, looked up at her pen pal, his eyes passed over her head, and then said nonchalantly, "It's just mosquito blood, wipe it clean."
She removed her hand from her neck, and sure enough, there was no wound at all.
Mei Huayue looked at her doubtfully for a long time, then curled her lips and said, "Okay, come out and have breakfast."
The two of them walked out of the bathroom one after the other and moved towards the restaurant.
"You went to buy breakfast so early in the morning?" Luo Shiqin pulled out a chair in the restaurant and sat down. Looking at the steaming tofu pudding on the table, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Before seven o'clock?"
"I didn't sleep yesterday, and I had a burst of inspiration." The woman sitting opposite her said casually, "After I wrote it down, I looked outside and it was already daybreak."
"But you said the weather in Yuchang is really strange," Mei Huayue scooped up the whole tofu pudding and let it break into pieces. "I left home at six o'clock, and the sky became so cloudy in just one hour."
She glanced out the window and said in amazement: "If you don't know, you would think it's still late at night."
"It's just thunder but no rain, and the wind outside is almost as strong as a typhoon." Mei Huayue complained a few words, then said, "I just checked my phone and you said that today's dinner party was cancelled. Why?"
Luo Shiqin pointed out the window: "What do you think?"
"Maybe it will clear up in a few hours. Besides, today is your birthday."
"It's not that simple." She lowered her head and took a spoonful of tofu. The smooth tofu wrapped around her hot and cold stomach, "Don't go out today."
Mei Huayue's expression slowly changed: "Is it that the same situation as before happened again?"
Luo Shiqin: "Eat it."
Mei Huayue: "Promise me that you won't create a beautiful and tragic plot."
Luo Shiqin: “…”
She swallowed the tofu helplessly, her eyes full of helplessness: "I'm not sure yet, I'll find out after breakfast."
"Promise that you will not be in danger." The pen pal narrowed his eyes and dragged out his tone, "Promise?"
Luo Shiqin: "I promise. By the way, I am the guardian of the orthodox happy ending."
The two sides looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
After finishing the meal, the pen pal felt sleepy so she said hello and went into her room, probably intending to sleep forever.
Luo Shiqin sat on the sofa in the living room. The dark living room was like late at night. She raised her right hand and drew it in the air.
"I Use My Pen as a Gun in the Fiction World"
A new book of abnormal life appeared on Mei Huayue's head.
This is what she knew the first time she saw Mei Huayue today.
Is it coming again...
The book of a changed life, which had been two months late, appeared in front of Luo Shiqin again, but she did not feel relieved.
My fingertips lightly touched the title of the book that only I could see, and the familiar ripples spread out in all directions, revealing the main text inside.
[…What happened to Luo Shiqin today?
She lay down on the bed, thinking back to her roommate's behavior.
In the bathroom, the other person looked at her as if he had seen something incredible.
Although the time was short, I could tell the difference.
Or is it that something has happened to me that she cannot understand? 】
This chapter is about...
She leaned back on the sofa and frowned involuntarily after reading the entire chapter.
It seems like everything is said, but it also seems like nothing is said. The entire chapter seems mediocre and monotonous. From the perspective of a novel reader, there is nothing that can attract the reader.
More like a diary than a novel?
Luo Shiqin subconsciously wanted to open the comment section to look for deeper clues, but she didn't expect that the place where the bubble was originally located was now empty.
【Comment Area】Missing?
Her brows relaxed and she looked around again in confusion.
Not only the [Comments] section, but even the [copywriting] is gone.
The [Table of Contents] does exist, but it doesn't play much of a role in this book of abnormal life.
Because the whole book is just...boring?
Luo Shiqin used this adjective for the first time to describe the book "The Unusual Life".
After all, the contents of all the unusual life experiences she had encountered before could not be said to be thrilling, but at least they could arouse the interest of readers.
And this book of unusual life that she just found...seems to be just a biography with a different name.
In the dim living room, the woman sat on the sofa and pondered for a long time. After a long time, she got up, went back to her room, put on a windbreaker, and went out.
It is difficult to describe how Luo Shiqin felt when she went out and saw other people on the street.
In addition to the howling wind on the street, there were also many people who had to go out for work.
But everyone has a different book title on their mind.
Speed: The Secret of Working
Bang!
The Sweetness of Green Apple
My Life...
Luo Shiqin stood on the street, looking around blankly.
It seems that the life biography above everyone's head has turned into a book of abnormal life today?
[Congratulations on your successful upgrade. New features have been unlocked for you——]
Standing at a crowded street corner, the woman heard a reminder tone that she hadn't heard in a long time.
