Ruyizhai

"Looking for me?" Wu Xingchen thought of a possibility - the Department of Social Services came to his door.He didn't dare to answer the phone and pretended to leave.The eagle called to him and said, "It's a man named Clara."

Wu Xingchen was still a little hesitant, but Eagle forced the receiver into his hand, and he had no choice but to answer it.Clara's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"The data has been repaired, the positioning system is locked, and other functions can be used, that is, the map function of the war camp only includes the topographical map of the camp."

Wu Xingchen raised his head and studied the interior decoration of the swimming pool. The rest area above the swimming pool and the aisle were empty, the ceiling was gray, and there were two loudspeakers hanging in each corner.The speakers were covered with thick dust.To the south there were three large windows, which were either plastered with newspapers or boarded up.Wu Xingchen looked around like this, his gaze returned to the ceiling, and he waved his hands mechanically towards the two loudspeakers that were closest to him diagonally above.

Clara smiled and hung up the phone.Wu Xingchen returned the receiver to the eagle, and the eagle looked at him with one eyebrow pressed down, then turned around and waved in the direction Wu Xingchen waved just now.

Wu Xingchen said: "Sorry, I don't know how he knew I was here..."

Eagle blinked: "What tongue twister are you talking about?" He smiled: "It doesn't matter, just treat it as a friend. Your friend is so powerful, maybe it will come in handy in the future."

Wu Xingchen muttered secretly: "It will come in handy..."

He walked towards the pool, climbed to the ground, and looked back at the eagle. The eagle was eating again, this time it was a piece of chocolate. The eagle raised his eyes and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Wu Xingchen asked in bewilderment: "Why do people pay so much attention to getting along with others? Can it come in handy?"

The eagle chewed the chocolate, disapprovingly: "This is interpersonal communication, isn't it true for all people?"

Wu Xingchen said, "What kind?"

"Otherwise, why do you say people get along with each other?"

Wu Xingchen said: "No reason, just out of emotional connection."

The eagle slapped his thigh: "Isn't that useful, emotional needs," he smacked his lips: "You can answer the questions you ask yourself!"

Wu Xingchen shook his head, trying to refute, but couldn't say anything.Does the fact that people get along based on emotional connections necessarily mean that the starting point for this kind of getting along is emotional needs?Does the fact that two people develop a partnership necessarily mean that they are together because they need love?Couldn't this kind of connection be completely pointless, purposeless, and couldn't the couple just be attracted to each other?He thought of Ruyizhai, and he found that he could only answer this question with "can't". He was attracted by Ruyizhai, he loved him, and he hoped that he could love him too.Ruyizhai used him to meet his material needs, so why didn't he hope that Ruyizhai would be "useful" to satisfy his need for love, use... what right did he have to mourn how Ruyizhai used him?Both material and love are the bonds of getting along with each other, and both are chips on the emotional balance, and they are on equal footing.

Wu Xingchen returned to Clara's place full of worries, and the elm elevator took him directly underground.Outside the elevator, a white path stretched into the boundless darkness.The elevator door closed, Wu Xingchen walked down the path without saying a word, and suddenly, a feeling of deja vu came over him.He slightly raised his eyes to look ahead of the road, and murmured: "I walked this road..."

This is a dead end.He remembered that at the end of the road was a very tall and large glass jar.Wu Xingchen stretched out his hand and touched a glass jar, he stopped in his tracks.

"Do you want to see what's inside?" Clara's voice drifted into his ears, and this sentence also "seems familiar".

In an instant, a light between blue and red lit up in the glass jar.Wu Xingchen said: "Like dusk, also like the color of lavender fields..."

Ruyizhai told him that in the past, people were keen to wander in the lavender fields. Purple makes people have a romantic association, just like dusk. Painters can't stop depicting the tenderness of dusk, and poets can't stop singing the sentimentality of dusk. Writers People always like to ask lovers to go for a walk in the dusk, and the photographer uses the color temperature of the dusk to convey the lingering love.People in the past were diligent in finding meaning for various natural phenomena.

A man who looked exactly like Ruyizhai was floating in the pink-purple glass jar with his eyes closed.

"It's the first edition 0000, and his skin is starting to fade," Clara said.

Pointing to the man's armpit, he said: "Look, a stain started to spread from here. Although it is still very small, this piece of skin will melt soon. The calming potion can only delay this process, but it cannot The reverse result is all because of the use of synthetic glue at that time, but the technology at that time, synthetic glue was already a top-level configuration, and now 0000 is covered with synthetic human skin all over his body. Did you touch him in the consummation? Does it feel exactly like a real person?"

Wu Xingchen shook his head.Clara continued to point and gesture outside the glass tank: "The maintenance cost is not low. One hundred milliliters of active cell particles must be injected every month, otherwise he will wither. Do you know where I mentioned the active cell particles?"

"Doesn't wither describe a flower?" Wu Xingchen said, "A flower?"

Clara nodded again and again, and talked eloquently: "I was inspired by Ruyizhai himself, don't you think he doesn't seem to be old? He seems to have always looked like 25-[-], but people, even if they are new humans, keep their faces Even if there is skill, it will eventually wither. People are like flowers, and sometimes people are not as good as flowers."

Wu Xingchen looked at the first edition of 0000 and asked, "Is he... still conscious?"

"Of course." Clara knocked on the glass tank twice. The first version of 0000 opened his eyes, swung his arms in the water, and turned around. There was no skin on his back, and he could clearly see a piece of metal. spine.The first edition of 0000 smiled and waved to Clara, and looked at Wu Xingchen with a smile.

"He was just sleeping just now." Clara said, and gave Wu Xingchen a bracelet.

Wu Xingchen put on the bracelet and found the video data sent to him by 677. In just two months, 677 saved 677 videos, and each video was up to an hour long. 24 is shooting video almost [-] hours a day.

Clara said: "The 677 you asked me to find is a space orphan. Two months ago, he was transferred from the Kowloon City Sanatorium in Hong Kong to the Paris Sanatorium in Texas. Before that, he lived at No. 23, Kowloon First Avenue. members of the congregation."

"Psychic in the lower realm? What is the relationship with the psychic in the upper realm?"

Clara reminded Wu Xingchen: "Why don't you try using the terminal search? If there is a problem, I can rework it for you in time."

Wu Xingchen then opened the search interface of the terminal. Regarding the Nether psychic, the entry provided by the terminal is as follows:

Founded on August 3050, 08 by Teng Rong, a member of the Upper World Spiritual Society, a sect from the pan-liberal space sect. On the same day, it applied to the Ministry of Culture of the Alliance for religious qualification approval. It was approved on the same day and became a registered religion of the Ministry of Culture of the Alliance. It has general legal capacity and civil rights Ability to handle disputes, Teng Rong is the person in charge of religious affairs.As of November 06, the church had 3060 million registered members. According to the latest survey results of the Ministry of Social Services, 11% of its members were former members of the Upper Realm psychic society, and 11789% of the members joined the church within the past ten years. The Nether Spiritual Society has become the largest existing religious organization on the earth, and it is also the largest existing marketer of phoenix tail on the earth.The psychic society in the lower world mainly follows the three-no rule in religious activities: no leader, no dispute, and no machine; in terms of religious doctrine, it mainly follows the three-have rule: there is a past life, there is an afterlife, and there is cause and effect.

Nether psychic claims that it aims to create a harmonious coexistence between nature and human beings, advocates human beings to trace their origins, and believes that all things will eventually reach a harmonious state in reincarnation. All machinery is an extension of human desire to conquer nature, so it must be Prohibited and must be considered heresy.

Wu Xingchen closed the entry, and searched again with the keyword "Bosch, painter". After a short wait, a short entry appeared.

Bosch, painter, full name Hieronymus Bosch, was active in the Netherlands from the [-]th to the [-]th centuries.

There are also three paintings by Bosch displayed under the entry. Wu Xingchen took out these paintings one by one and enlarged them in front of his eyes.One is called "The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Ends", the other is "Paradise on Earth", and the other is "The Last Judgment". .First edition 0000 looked at the "Last Judgment" curiously.This painting depicts hell.

Wu Xingchen said: "One of the most popular themes of religious paintings is hell, the place where sinners go, where Lucifer fell, where God's wrath burns, where the devil clamors, pain, terror, suffering, Better than the world of the fifteenth century."

His bracelet vibrated, and Clara grabbed his right hand and winked at him, saying, "I forgot to tell you just now, when I repaired the terminal, I visualized the background data by the way."

Wu Xingchen took a look and saw the scrolling display on the bracelet: the activity of the amygdala neural network in the brain increased, and the fear protein was released.

Wu Xingchen couldn't help asking himself: "Do I feel fear now?"

He glanced at The Last Judgment again.Naked men and women, some were boiled in boiling water, some had their lower body eaten by devils, some were pierced by a spear, some worked as carts and mills, and some Burning in the flames, the gods are far away, high above, indifferent, the overall background of the painting is dark, and the images are evil. Even in the brightest painting, there are mosquito-like black devils above the verdant grass. Flying, and a demon handing an apple to a naked woman.

Clara patted Wu Xingchen's bracelet, and he threw the background data analysis to the side of "The Last Judgment".

The primary visual cortex center of the occipital lobe transmits visual information, the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus projects the optic radiation to the occipital lobe, neurons frequently change their projections, and the thalamus releases fear proteins.

"Is this fear?" Wu Xingchen caught a glimpse of these lines and touched his neck. He was sweating a little, his mouth was thirsty, his eyes were dry, his breathing became rapid, and there was an indescribable strange beating. He wanted to sit down, walk around, put his hands behind his back, lower his head, and his hands trembled a little.

"Am I afraid of the afterlife?"

Or are you afraid of death itself?The loss of life is death, and the consequences are worth the pain, the mourning, the tears, but the fear...

Active particles in the cerebral cortex are exchanged at a rate of 30.00 particles per millisecond, the excitement of the cerebral cortex increases by 30.00%, 40.00% [-], [-]%, the human body enters a state of high awakening, and the hippocampus releases long-term memory protein No. [-].

Wu Xingchen thought of February [-] ten years ago, when he unfolded an oil painting in Department No. [-] of the Earth Museum.The oil painting depicts the Archangel Michael wearing a golden crown. He holds a sword in one hand and grabs a poisonous snake in the other, stepping on Lucifer who has fallen into a demon. One of his white wings is firmly grasped by a group of beetles, and the other It just turned into a skeleton somehow, and many small snakes grew out of that skeleton, as well as many climbing vines and anemones. Lizard-like animals gnawed at his feet, and all kinds of monsters gathered at the bottom of the picture.A group of rice-grain-like angels of victory blew their golden horns on a height close to nothingness.The grotesque monsters are crowded with blooming flowers.

The tonsil area releases pain protein one.

Wu Xingchen also thought that a few days later, at No. 23 Kowloon First Avenue, someone told him that Ruyizhai left on a white horse.

Clara said: "It seems that there is no problem at present." He hooked Wu Xingchen's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Is it time for you to pay the reward?"
