301 The Eleventh Store
◎ I just want to get close to her.◎
Lu Yao stood at the door of the bookstore, with his right hand across his forehead, looking up at the airship passing by: "Why is it so red?"
Xi has been in Guandao for several years, and this is the first time he has seen an airship from the Inner Island District 3: "Red represents unforgivable sins. The lightest crime for the prisoners in the Inner Island District 3 is equivalent to a single person destroying all civilizations on a planet."
"They are different from us." Xi turned his head and looked at Lu Yao, "Shopkeeper, you'd better change your mechanical body today. I heard that the bookstore's live broadcast this time did not avoid the prisoners in the Inner Island District 3, and they already know you. Those guys have endless methods, and even you may not be able to deal with them easily."
The Dream-Fulfilling System sneered.
Xi's acting was quite realistic.
Lu Yao did not react in any special way. He turned around and walked into the store, calling Xi and Zhu Wei: "Let's have breakfast before the customers come."
When they returned to the bookstore lobby, Lu Yao continued Xi's conversation: "I don't need a mechanical body. I feel it will become dull."
Zhu Wei thought for a moment and asked: "Have you replaced your mechanical body before?"
Lu Yao paused.
The Dream Fulfilling System was inexplicably a little nervous. Lu
Yao seemed to think for a moment, then continued walking forward, shaking his head slowly: "I haven't changed my mechanical body, but I have also experienced out-of-body experience."
Xi didn't expect the owner to be so defenseless and actually dared to talk to them about this topic: "After the consciousness left the body, did it return to the original body?"
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes. A body without consciousness is like an empty house. Consciousness cannot leave the body for too long, otherwise the empty house will become an ownerless rotten house. I'm a little curious, where did your original body go after you changed your mechanical body?"
Lu Yao had such a question in his mind when he first came into contact with robots and gradually understood the mechanical body.
Xi shrugged and said, "It seems that the owner has never been involved in mechanical body replacement services. Yuan and I replaced the mechanical body in the laboratory. The laboratory exploded shortly thereafter, and our original bodies must have been shattered into pieces. "
Zhu Wei hesitated for a moment and whispered, "When I decided to replace the mechanical body, I didn't have enough money, so I exchanged my original body for the mechanical body provider." Lu
Yao widened his eyes and was very surprised: "You have never thought about changing back to your original body?"
Xi didn't care much: "I was really not used to using the mechanical body at the beginning, but now I don't have so many thoughts. Anyway, my original body is gone."
Zhu Wei said calmly: "The original body is too fragile, and you can't go far with it." Lu
Yao suddenly remembered something and smiled at Zhu Wei.
Zhu Wei blinked slowly, not understanding the meaning of the owner's eyes.
The three chatted all the way to the virtual dining room, Lu Yao and Zhu Wei sat on one side, and Xi sat opposite.
Ling Liu also came in, holding a cup of soy sauce in his little hand, and carefully placed it next to Xi, then supported his arm to stand on the chair.
Breakfast was seafood noodles cooked in a thick soup made from beef and pork bones, with two plates of refreshing side dishes and a basket of crab roe soup dumplings.
Zhu Wei and Xi looked at the owner deeply for a few times before starting to eat breakfast.
The appearance of the owner and Ling Liu did not change in the virtual dining room, which means that this was their original appearance.
After taking a bite of the seafood noodles, Zhu Wei and Xi no longer cared about the thoughts flying in their minds and concentrated on having breakfast.
Only when there was only a small amount of condiments left in the bowl of noodles did Zhu Wei slow down her movements and ask the question that had troubled her since her first day on the job but she had never had the chance to ask: "What exactly is going on in this dining room? Why can Xi and I taste the food here? It's as if the mechanical bodies don't exist."
Lingliu on the opposite side bit the straw awkwardly, absorbing the oil needed by the body just like drinking milk tea. Lu Yao
stared at him for a while and replied calmly: "On the first day of the bookstore's opening, I placed a signpost on the road that must be taken from the seventh and ninth districts to the bookstore street. Do you remember what it said?" Zhu Wei: "The resting place of the soul." Lu Yao's eyes moved from Ling Liu to Xi: "As long as customers come to the bookstore, they can find rest, whether spiritually or physically." The owner's eyes were gentle and calm, but Xi inexplicably felt a chill that penetrated his bones. After Lu Yao finished his breakfast, he got up and left. He patted Zhu Wei's shoulder lightly and smiled at the confused Ling Liu: "Help me pack my lunch box." Ling Liu jumped off the chair lightly, walked around to the opposite side, and began to pack diligently. Zhu Wei's body was stiff. Xi's face was also as pale as paper. They had come into contact with each other on the first day they had dinner here. The virtual dining room and the virtual live broadcast room are not exactly the same. The two cannot touch each other in the dining room, but the owner just patted Zhu Wei on the shoulder, which means that there is no distinction between reality and illusion here for her. As the owner said, she has the ability to let all customers who enter the bookstore rest in peace. Zhu Wei slowed down first and curled her lips at Xi: "It's better for you to be honest." Xi's pupils were dark: "Why would someone like her come to Guandao? Is she trying to rob a prison?" Zhu Wei finished eating, even drank the soup, packed up the lunch box and stood up: "You think slowly, I have to work." Xi: "..." Lingliu had also packed up the owner's lunch box. Xi lowered her eyes to look at the mini cleaning robot and tapped the table: "Help me clean up." Lingliu jumped off the chair, holding the lunch box used by the owner in both hands, and walked away without even a glance. Xi: "..." In the bookstore lobby, the owner was just putting new books on the shelves for Yin Hua. Seeing Zhu Wei coming out of the corridor, she waved to Zhu Wei. In order to welcome the activity day of the third district, Lu Yao stayed up all night again and prepared several new books. Lu Yao called Zhu Wei to him and arranged for her to stock the books with Yin Hua. When he was about to leave, he bent down and took out a book with a blue cover from a pile of new books and handed it to Zhu Wei. "You might like this one. You can take a look at it during your break." It was a very thin and small book. On the light blue background was a red rose covered with a glass cover. Zhu Wei took the opportunity when the shop owner turned around and walked towards the live broadcast area to quickly flip through it. In just a few minutes, Zhu Wei had finished reading "The Little Prince".
Then she stood there unable to move.
The little prince wanted to go home, but because his body was too heavy, he couldn't take it with him, so he let a poisonous snake bite him.
The little prince said, "Just like taking off the shell, don't be sad because of the old shell. (1)"
Zhu Wei held the book and squatted on the ground. Sadness came like a wave and drowned her.
She also left her heavy body.
But she couldn't go home.
So the little prince also...
----
Lu Yao sat in the live broadcast area, seizing the time to introduce the new books on the shelves.
A black airship parked outside the bookstore, and the special guard team seen yesterday officially took up their posts.
Eight prison guards in blue uniforms entered the bookstore, and the remaining twelve were patrolling outside.
Lu Yao called Yin Hua to come over and read the trial part of the new book to the customers. She stood up and walked towards the captain of the Jail Guard.
The captain's number is 0021.
Lu Yao met 0021 yesterday at the introduction of 0815.
0021 didn't speak much yesterday. I don't know if he is not good at speaking or doesn't want to talk too much with the owner.
He seems to be more nervous today than yesterday. He greeted Lu Yao and started patrolling in the store.
The seven team members also patrolled according to the planned route.
The guard team is very powerful and has a strong sense of professional belief.
Even if there is no customer in the store at this time, they are still patrolling responsibly.
Lu Yao hesitated for a moment, but still called 0021 and talked to him, telling him that there was no need to be so tense when there were no customers.
0021 was silent for more than ten seconds, then nodded slowly.
The team members inside the store can relax a little, but they have to patrol outside the store from time to time.
While there were no customers coming, 0021 and the seven team members slowly cast their eyes on the bookshelf.
They are a special force, not belonging to any of the nine districts of Guandao, and they take orders directly from the warden.
I had only vaguely heard of this newly opened bookstore in the eighth district before, and I came here yesterday because of work, so I haven't really looked at the books in the store.
They shouldn't be doing anything unrelated to work at this time, but there is still some time before the prisoners have a chance to rest and visit the bookstore. Standing there doing nothing is indeed stupid, and they are not completely uninterested in the books in the bookstore.
0021 hesitated, but did not move.
The captain did not move, and the team members did not dare to move rashly, so they just waited until the timer rang.
When the bell rang, 0021 formed a team and began patrolling.
The prisoners in the third district came to the bookstore street in a hurry. They saw the blue uniforms inside and outside the bookstore from a distance, and they didn't know what they thought.
The existence of the special forces did not discourage them, and robots of various forms walked into the bookstore one after another.
Lu Yao temporarily handed the live broadcast room to Yin Hua, Xi was in charge of the cashier counter, and she and Zhu Wei stood in the aisle of the book exhibition area, responsible for introducing books to customers at any time.
Whether it was a new book on the shelf today or a book that had been on the shelf for many days, it was very fresh to the customers in the third area.
Unlike what the 0815 and 0021 teams expected, the prisoners in the third area were particularly honest and orderly after entering the bookstore. They did not take the initiative to provoke, and did not pick on the native store owner. They seemed to be full of yearning for the world of books, wandering around the book exhibition area to select books of interest.
A silver sphere carrying the upper and lower volumes of "Star Hotel" floated in front of Lu Yao. When he met the inquiring eyes of the shop owner, a childish boy's voice came out from the silver sphere: "Excuse me, where are "The Table of the Dead" and "Reference for Catering for Shopping Street Employees"? "
He searched all the bookshelves but couldn't find them.
Lu Yao explained that the two books had been removed from the shelves.
The silver sphere suddenly approached Lu Yao, and the smooth silver metal surface almost touched her cheek, but stopped only two centimeters away from the shop owner's eyes.
A mechanical arm stretched out from behind the bookshelf and grasped the silver sphere accurately.
The two books that he had held above fell, and the mechanical limbs suddenly stretched out from under the sphere and grabbed the books.
Lu Yao blinked in surprise.
0021 walked out, squeezed the ball in his hand with his five fingers, and said in a cold voice: "Behave yourself."
"Stingy!" The silver sphere spat, broke free from 0021's shackles, stretched out its limbs and head from the sphere, landed on its slender legs, held the book tightly in its arms with both hands, took two steps back, and tilted its head to look at the owner: "It's just that I haven't seen the native for a long time, and I want to get close to her."
0021: "I know you very well, prisoner AO-17 from the sixth cell in the third district. Once your thorn pierces her skin, you can control her mentally."
"I'm not interested in you, don't try to get close to me." AO-17 tilted his head and looked at the native owner who looked normal behind the jailer, "I want to talk to her."
