328 The Eleventh Store
◎Liberation Canning Factory.◎
The entire planet was bought by the Deus family to preserve the original bodies abandoned by customers.
When the spaceship landed, silver-white closed cylindrical buildings could be seen everywhere. Inside were cylindrical transparent "canned" devices, and the contents were flesh/bodies that were soaked in solution and turned white and swollen.
There are not only original human bodies in the canning factory, but also many alien bodies.
Their bodies are larger than humans and full of weird mysteries. These bodies are uniformly placed in one area. The specifications of the factory are different from those of other places. From time to time, researchers come to take samples, trying to reveal the secrets of alien life.
Ninety-five percent of the factory's employees are robots, and the remaining five percent of management staff are all robots.
Lu Yao was implanted with a certain chip while she was in a coma. It is said that once she makes an act of resistance, the chip will deprive her of her ability to move.
The ability Lu Yao showed in the Guandao prison was terrifying. After Du Se boarded the spaceship, he quickly discussed with his subordinates and unanimously passed the proposal to use the chip to control her.
Their actions were not informed to Lu Yao, and they were all carried out secretly while she was in a coma.
When implanting the chip in Lu Yao, Du Se also took away some of Lu Yao's body tissue samples.
These were the news that the Dream Fulfillment System told her after Lu Yao woke up.
Lu Yao: "They did such an extreme thing, you don't want to stop them?"
The Dream System said in a tired tone: "I want to see their shock and pain after spending a lot of effort and finding out that everything was in vain."
Lu Yao: "Tsk, it ruins everything."
Lu Yao pretended to know nothing, and followed Dius to visit the canning factory with ignorance and curiosity.
Dius was followed by a team of robots, all of whom were elites with high spirits, and Duser was not among them.
The elite team was always on guard against Lu Yao, because Dius refused to change his mechanical body, he was too weak, and he was stubborn to take Lu Yao on a tour in person, so his subordinates could only cooperate.
Deus stood in front of the huge alien can, slightly leaning to look at Lu Yao: "They don't understand my idea. Humans who succumb to mechanical bodies have no future."
Lu Yao: "But it was you who threw the choice of no future to humans."
Deus: "At that time, no one knew that the situation would develop like this. Humans are ultimately blind, succumbing to desires and immediate interests."
Lu Yao said coldly: "These have nothing to do with me. The purpose of bringing me here is What?"
Deus: "About sixty years ago, I received a prophecy in my sleep. I thought it was just a false dream, until I saw you, I immediately understood-you are the savior who appeared in the prophecy. You will guide life out of the shadow of ignorance, and with your own body, change the hopeless future of mechanical life."
Lu Yao's expression did not change. She was not new to this set of words. The guys hiding behind the mission were always keen to set various traps for her.
The so-called savior probably has to devote himself to faith.
Lu Yao even forgot what his faith was. He had no way to devote himself, and he never thought about being a savior.
But now the progress of the mission is stuck, and Lu Yao is a little anxious.
Lu Yao wore a space ring that had been inspected on his finger. Any items that might bring threats had been cleared out of the ring, leaving only some scattered books.
Lu Yao pulled out a stack of books from the ring and said lightly: "You really think highly of me. I am just a bookseller. I am afraid that I am powerless to guide and change the future of mechanical life. I can't do anything else. At most, I can sit among these canned zombies and read a few books. Wisdom may be the best medicine to guide these lost souls to find their way home."
Lu Yao picked out two books from the books he randomly pulled out - Hesse's "Demian's Youth" and "Siddhartha". Both books have been officially put on the shelves in bookstores, but they are not very popular.
There were too many books on the shelves of bookstores at that time, and not every book was favored by readers.
Lu Yao can only guarantee that every book on the shelf is a fine product, at least in her eyes, it is a book worth reading, but she cannot fully guarantee whether the market welcomes this type of book.
"Demian and Siddhartha" are unpopular books that are drowned in the market, but Lu Yao still thinks that there are still people in this era who like such books.
Perhaps thousands of years ago, human thought has evolved to the top, and now it is just history repeating itself again and again, a cycle, and a foreseeable future.
Lu Yao hesitated for a moment, chose "Siddhartha" from the two books, found a place to sit down, and read it like a normal live broadcast.
No matter what situation the store owner is in, he will not panic, nor will he be confused, and he will not expose the ugliness and cowardice beneath the human nature.
Deus stood not far away, listening calmly, and the rising depression in his heart was soothed by the calm and clear voice.
However, Deus did not stay for too long. He suddenly received an emergency call from his subordinates. He left two robot subordinates to look after Lu Yao and hurriedly took the others away.
Lu Yao read "Siddhartha" three times in the alien canned food area, and got up with a dry mouth to find water.
The two robots arranged to follow her were monitors, not followers or guards. They just followed Lu Yao and ignored any of her requests.
Lu Yao's portable storage also contains many space rings and bags of different uses, which contain everything.
But the current situation is unclear, so she can't take them out. She can only endure the hunger and thirst and wander around the canning factory, looking for food and water that the human body can normally ingest.
...
In the highest research room of the primitive canning factory, Duser and a group of researchers are surrounding Deus to report their latest discoveries.
"We collected 100 sets of tissue samples from Lu Yao and confirmed that her body is not a biological one, but something that is infinitely close to a mechanical body." "
However, there are still many mysteries about her body. Why is the original body as stable as a mechanical body, without any growth, but with a normal sensory system, and still needs to eat, excrete, and carry out life activities like humans... These are all mysteries. I suggest that Lu Yao be transferred to the laboratory immediately. We need to conduct a comprehensive anatomical study on her."
"Perhaps a body like hers is the ultimate evolutionary form of a robot, which not only retains the superior sensory system of original humans, but also has the strength of a mechanical body!"
...
Dusser and the researchers looked at Deus eagerly. The problem that had lasted for hundreds of years finally had a breakthrough. As long as they handed over the semi-native human named "Luyao", it might not take long before they could push the mechanical technology to the pinnacle of perfection. The beginning of all this only required Deus's nod.
Deus walked slowly to the experimental table and patiently checked all the experimental results.
This result was completely different from the future he had imagined, but it was extremely close to reality.
If Luyao was the ultimate form of the balance between robots and native humans, then her appearance here as a prophet and a sacrificer just fulfilled the prophecy in the dream.
...
The canning factory has the most advanced and complete network control system in the star field. For the Dream Fulfilling System, this is its ruling area. Not only did it copy the map and data of the entire canning factory area to its own data control, but it also complained to Lu Yao.
"They are discussing dissecting you. When will we go back?"
Lu Yao wandered around the canning area for almost two hours and had a preliminary understanding of the structure of the original canning factory.
She asked, "Where did 0105 go?"
After the spaceship landed at the canning factory, she never saw him again.
Dream Fulfillment System: "He's in a terrible state now, do you want to see him?"
Lu Yao: "What's going on?"
Dream Fulfillment System: "The people at the cannery misunderstood that you had a good relationship with the prison guard, and they planned to use him as a bargaining chip to force you."
Lu Yao couldn't help laughing: "Do I still need to be forced?"
Dream Fulfillment System said in a cold tone: "They don't know that forcing you is the most useless means. How long are you going to play with them?"
Lu Yao: "Take me to find 0105."
----
Guandao, the highest meeting room in the first district.
The warden and the management directors of the seven districts sat in the meeting room, and only the position of the management director of the eighth district was vacant.
Secretary Jail Guard 0102 explained: "Director Jilan was delayed by something and will be here in two minutes."
The management director of District 2 said: "It was because he indulged the bookstore's residents and made exceptions for them again and again that so many troubles occurred."
Jilan pushed the door open and walked in, leading a mini cleaning robot in his hand: "Paper books have appeared in the cells of Districts 1, 2, and 3. This is not just the responsibility of District 8. In Lu Yao's eyes, the defense systems of each cell are not much different. Besides, it was not my intention to be late this time. I just received a distress message temporarily."
Everyone's eyes were focused on the mini cleaning robot in Jilan's hand, unable to guess Jilan's intentions.
Kieran placed the mini cleaning robot on the conference table, turned around and walked to his seat and sat down: "Let him report the details himself."
The warden tilted his head and stared at the mini cleaning robot for a while, his pupils shrinking slightly: "Are you... Ya Luan?"
Ya Luan?
The missing prison guard on duty in District 1?
Not dead yet?
Ya Luan turned around on the conference table. As the strongest prison guard on duty in District 1, he was ashamed to appear in front of several management directors and the warden in this posture, and he was a little bit unbelievable. He actually got rid of the owner's restraint so easily.
The top management of Kanjima had unanimously believed that Yaluan was dead, and that he had died at the hands of the shop owner who had invaded the third district of the inner island. No one had expected that he would be parasitic in the body of a mini cleaning robot.
Yaluan took a few seconds to sort out his emotions, and then combined his experience in the bookstore during this period with what happened in the prison cell in District 1 on the night of the accident.
After a long time, the management director of District Three said in disbelief: "According to you, Lu Yao went to great lengths to sneak into District Three of the Inner Island just to sell books?"
The management director of District Two was also shocked: "If this is true, that woman is simply too crazy!!!"
The management director of District Seven said: "The fact that the bookstore owner invaded District Three of the Inner Island is no longer important. What is more important right now is that she escaped from prison with a level 6S prisoner deep in the dungeon, and the new guard 0105 is also missing." Kieran
: "The latest surveillance information has been made public. Lu Yao clearly lost consciousness and was taken away by an alien invader. It's an exaggeration to say that he escaped from prison."
In the current situation, no matter whether Lu Yao was robbed from prison or escaped from prison, Guandao's serious gaffe is irreversible.
Although Jilan could still say a few words, he was also miserable in his heart.
Unless they could complete a mission to save the world immediately, this gaffe would never be easily covered up.
----
In the original canning factory, the two robots monitoring Lu Yuan fell behind the canning room, and the electronic computer was taken out and placed aside.
Lu Yao stood in front of an original body, looking up and down at the arms, legs and head that looked like swollen bamboo shoots, and shook his head: "Is this the original body of 0105?"
Dream System: "Yes. The original body of 0105 was not originally on this planet. Duser specifically ordered someone to transport it from another canning factory."
There was also a forced hibernation capsule next to the canned container of 0105. The mechanical body of 0105 was placed in the capsule. The electronic computer was taken out and placed in the black box next to the mechanical body.
Lu Yao opened the forced hibernation capsule, did not touch the mechanical body of 0105, and only took away the electronic computer in the black box.
She held the electronic computer and examined it for a moment, a little confused: "It seems that it is not just an electronic computer loaded with original data?"
Dream System: "I also investigated the information here and found out that these so-called electronic computers are actually human brains, but they are clones that have a symbiotic relationship with the original brain. The original brain is equivalent to the mother body, and the clone body is coated with a special material with antiseptic and protective effects to disguise as an electronic computer that has uploaded the original data. The relationship between the two is different from that of the general parent-child relationship. If the mother body dies, the clone body has a chance to survive for a while, but if the clone body dies, the mother body will die quickly. So the development and destruction of electronic computers will lead to the death of robots. For every robot that dies, a native human will also die."
Lu Yao: "I am actually a liberal arts student."
Dream Fulfillment System: "Why are you suddenly talking about this?"
Lu Yao: "It's just that biology, basic physics, and chemistry are all my blind spots."
Dream Fulfillment System: "... You don't have to think about anything, just use your illusion, magic, superpowers, fairy arts, rules or divine power to smash this canning factory to pieces."
Lu Yao: "... Did you just say 'divine power'?"
Dream Fulfillment System: "... You have so many half-bodies of gods, isn't it easy to destroy a canning factory?"
Lu Yao nodded: "You are right. But, are you sure you want to see the bodies crawling out of the cans?"
As the most primitive factory area of the canning factory, the bodies placed here are basically original bodies from a hundred years ago, soaked in honey liquid, just like fat white radishes.
Lu Yao imagined the canning factory here being liberated in an instant, and the original humans crawling out like the old pickled cabbage in the kimchi jar, and he couldn't help but feel a chill.
The Dream Fulfilling System was disgusted by Lu Yao's associations and yelled, "Don't think about it anymore. I surrender."
Lu Yao weighed the electronic computer in his hand, then looked up at 0105's original body, and murmured, "This guy looks quite young, with a low degree of soaking, and it's not been canned for a long time. Why not try it with him?"
Dream Fulfilling System: "...Your wording is a bit off, but how to do it specifically?"
Lu Yao took out a ladder from the portable warehouse, climbed to the top, and under the instructions of the Dream Fulfilling System, opened the can lid and threw 0105's electronic computer in.
She sat down, opened "Siddhartha" again and began to read.
Words are containers of thoughts. After an unknown amount of time, the white radish in the jar began to tremble slightly under the force of thoughts.
Lu Yao caught this subtle change, stood up and drew a few light magic circles on the can, then sat back and switched to the latest "Lord of the Rings" to read.
If it weren't for meeting the requirements of the system's tasks, she wouldn't want to go through so much trouble to guide through books.
0105 in the jar was originally sleeping in a comfortable hot spring, his hands and feet were so warm that he didn't want to move. At some point, a cold and indifferent voice appeared in his ears, constantly talking about the deeds of a certain person.
0105Listening to the sound, the dark but warm place suddenly became cold, and a small hole appeared in front of him. He looked out, like a small animal parasitizing in an eggshell, following the faint light. Water rushed in without warning, and the sticky strange liquid drilled into his mouth and nose, suffocating him and struggling to open his eyes.
0105His vision was blurred, and he blinked in vain, trying to see more clearly.
But his hands and feet were abnormally soft and weak, out of control, and a human figure appeared in front of him.
Lu Yao closed the book, stood up and approached the canned food container. He looked at 0105 through the transparent wall made of special materials and asked calmly as he did in the cell that day: "Do you need help?"
0105's mind was very dull. In an instant, many fragments flashed before his eyes, including his experience as a native human and his experience after becoming a robot. He soon had no time to think about it. The pain of suffocation instantly seized all his attention.
He couldn't calm down like a robot. He followed his instinct to ask for help from the person in front of him. Lu
Yao saw 0105 slowly lower his head, with a careless and obvious smile on his lips. He raised the ruler of warning and tapped the transparent wall with the tip of the ruler. The cracks instantly spread like a spider web, and the inside was squeezed by the solution and the weight of a human, and it shattered.
0105 fell naked into a thin but extremely strong arm. Lu Yao pulled out a large clean bath towel from his portable warehouse, wrapped 0105 casually, turned around and put him on the chair behind him.
The task progress bar in the background of the Dream Fulfilling System suddenly advanced by one percent.
Lu Yao did not have time to confirm the task progress, and bent down to check the status of 0105.
0105's original body was quite young, over 1.9 meters tall, with handsome features, but his hair and unknown mucus were all over his face and body, and he was only wearing a bath towel.
He had already realized that the person standing next to him was the owner, and the emotion that came before fear and shame was shyness. Heat rose from his neck, instantly burning his face and ears red.
Lu Yao tilted his head and looked at him carefully: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
0105 turned away in shame: "None of your business."
Lu Yao crossed his arms: "Are you an elementary school student? Did you change to a mechanical body when you were a minor, and your mind hasn't grown at all since then?"
"..."
0105's mood was complicated. Originally, he could not feel so many things and emotions when using the mechanical body. He suddenly woke up and felt hot and cold in his body. The shyness that suddenly emerged after seeing the owner was beyond his understanding and he could not get used to it.
Seeing that he needed to adjust for a while, Lu Yao did not move forward. He turned around and looked at the large area of mature cans in the factory area, muttering to himself: "It seems that only one can be liberated, which is far from meeting the mission requirements."
The Dream-fulfilling System slammed the table: "Too insidious! What should we do next?"
Lu Yao: "Did Dius find anything abnormal?"
The Dream-fulfilling System: "The system is under my control, they don't know anything."
Lu Yao: "At least hold them back for another 20 minutes, I'll try again."
The scale of the original canning factory is quite large, with more than 300,000 original human bodies preserved in the entire factory area.
With this base number, perhaps some of them are still alive today, and perhaps some of them are fans of the bookstore. At present, we can only bet that this number is large enough.
While wandering around the canned food area, Lu Yao set up several light magic circles in advance.
After activation, she can cooperate with her original plan to liberate some robots.
----
Guandao, the first district meeting room.
Several management directors who were discussing fiercely stopped abruptly. There were many emergency reports in the three central districts and the three inner island districts. Many prison guards and prisoners in the districts went berserk for no reason and collectively lost consciousness. The strangest phenomenon was that there must be a copy of "The Lord of the Rings" around the mechanical bodies of these people.
At the same time, similar phenomena appeared on many planets in the star field.
Some readers of "The Lord of the Rings" suddenly lost consciousness in public places and were rushed to the maintenance department, but the situation did not improve.
After data integration, it was found that all the readers who lost consciousness were robots, and they had all triggered the hidden Easter eggs in "The Lord of the Rings".
There was no need to investigate, this incident must be related to the bookstore again.
The district management directors had to put aside their conflicts temporarily and ask the warden how to deal with the situation at hand.
The warden leaned back in his chair, his eyes were dull, his head suddenly tilted to one side, and his arms fell from the armrests.
The district management directors surrounded him in panic.
The warden's original name was You Xingyuan.
He lost consciousness in a meeting, and when he opened his eyes again, he realized that he was in the hidden Easter egg of "The Lord of the Rings".
You Xingyuan's first reading of "The Lord of the Rings" triggered an Easter egg, in which he met the bookstore owner Lu Yao, and the same happened this time.
Lu Yao was born in an extremely backward area in You Xingyuan's eyes. Suddenly one day, the ordinary native human female began a journey to an unknown destination.
The places Lu Yao traveled to were all strange and not always full of joy, but she walked all the way safely until she came to Guandao and opened an old bookstore here.
Everyone who has seen the Easter egg knows that the end point of Lu Yao's journey was not Guandao, but a canning factory that looked very permeable.
The transparent jars in the factory were filled with human bodies that had been soaked to the point where they had lost their human form. You Xingyuan originally thought that it was an illegal factory in the star field that specialized in producing canned human meat.
Until today, he finally followed Lu Yao to the end point, and what appeared in front of him was his own original body soaked in the jar.
Because it had been soaked in the solution for too long, its skin was swollen and white, and its face was swollen like a steamed bun, weird and ugly, like the specimens he had seen at a biological specimen exhibition many years ago.
But at that time, he had already replaced his mechanical body, and the feeling of seeing those specimens was far less shocking than seeing his own original body that had been soaked today.
Lu Yao stood beside You Xingyuan's original body, glanced at him indifferently, lowered his head and opened a book. The words uttered in a faint voice seemed to have magic. You Xingyuan vaguely saw that the name of the book was "Siddhartha".
His consciousness gradually became drowsy, and when he woke up again, he was trapped in a canning jar. His hands and feet were swollen but soft and powerless, not as flexible as a mechanical body at all.
With a crisp explosion, the transparent wall broke, and You Xingyuan felt like a pool of rotten mud flowing to the ground. The mucus blocking his mouth and nose also flowed out, and the air poured in, and he came back to life.
In the canning area centered on You Xingyuan, dozens of cans were broken, and the original humans who looked like old pickled radishes were crawling on the ground with their inflexible hands and feet.
In fact, the original humans who woke up were shocked that this broken body could still be used. They were limp and could only roll on the ground, but their souls seemed to be suddenly liberated from the six closed rooms. Even the unpleasant smell of the liquid medicine in the factory and the sticky and slippery feeling all over their bodies made them feel the real sense of being alive again. The sound, breath, and touch all made them feel indescribably fresh. The
hidden easter egg set at the end of "The Lord of the Rings" is actually a part of the ultimate mission, and it is also a special consciousness gate set by Lu Yao's ability.
The readers who triggered the hidden easter egg for the first time are part of the people who have a desire to perceive the world again. They are marked as the target group in Lu Yao's mission.
Once Lu Yao finds a way to liberate the cannery, this group of readers will be the first group of humans to be liberated.
After Lu Yao arrived at the original cannery, the light magic array that was set up in advance repaired the bodies of the original humans to a certain extent, so that the liberated humans would not die immediately after coming out of the cans.
The task progress in the background of the system task finally began to move forward again, rising from 86% to over 90%, reaching 95%, 99%, and finally reaching 100% satisfaction.
The long-awaited system task reminder sounded——
[Successfully liberated the cannery within the task time limit, congratulations to the owner, successfully completed the ultimate task, and can immediately go to the next world! 】
Lu Yao was still in the area of Liberation 0105. She was leaning back in a chair, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be asleep. The book spread out on her legs was Hesse's "Siddhartha".
A two-finger-wide piece of paper fell from the void. Lu Yao woke up suddenly. Without caring about confirming anything, she reached out to catch the note.
Before she could read the content on the note clearly, the system task prompt exploded in her mind again——
【Congratulations to the store owner for successfully triggering the S-level difficulty task. If you successfully complete this task in the next world, you will have the opportunity to receive the ultimate special reward! 】
Lu Yao: "What does an S-level mission mean?"
The Dream Fulfilling System couldn't hide its excitement: "Ahhhhhhh! I can actually trigger this hidden mission!"
Lu Yao: "What's the use of this mission?"
The Dream Fulfilling System: "This is a hidden mission with a very, very low probability of triggering. The biggest use is that completing the mission will randomly trigger a super rare special reward. And this mission has no effect on the official mission."
Lu Yao: "How can I not believe in a mission with such good benefits?"
The Dream Fulfilling System: "Don't worry about this for now, we've finally made it this far. Take a look at the mission prompts for the new world!"
Lu Yao flipped the paper, and the prompt only had four words, written in simple handwriting.
