Chapter 43 Body
Now they are in a weird basement.
There was water light shining through where the ceiling should be. To be more precise, the entire ceiling was made up of dozens of glass screens, and above that was a giant aquarium. The shimmering light and fish shadows penetrated the glass ceiling and spread throughout the basement.
As they took the elevator down, Xiao Zhen was convinced that the number of floors displayed on the elevator was obviously distorted. They continued to descend in a state of slight weightlessness, and the time and distance they traveled must have exceeded the six floors below the elevator display.
How deep were they, 30 or 50 metres underground?
Xiao Zhen stared at the water light on the ceiling. The clear light was like being under direct bright sunlight, but he knew that this was impossible.
The bionic doll had a faint smile on her face. After leading them into this strange basement, she did not say another word. There was no decoration in the basement. If there was anything strange, it was that there was a circular area in the middle of the floor. Countless tiny pebbles were laid flat on it.
"I really didn't expect that the Lord of the Eyes of Supervision would come to visit us." A voice sounded. The voice was very soft, and it sounded like a well-known male broadcaster in the human world broadcasting the news in a clear and fluent voice. Then, with a slight vibration of the floor, a huge figure appeared.
A pair of huge black eyes stared at them. Its skin was covered with black scales, and its thick tail was flapping the ground intentionally or unintentionally. It had no nose, only a mouth that could not be closed. You could see the sticky mucus in the light red mouth, and dozens of slender tentacle-like tongues. When it approached, Xiaozhen smelled a strong fishy odor.
It is a true solid maple.
The alien seemed clumsy and polite: "Please forgive my disrespectful behavior just now. I just wanted to test it. It was not an intentional offense to the Eye of Supervision. May I ask why, sir..."
Mr. Cat stepped forward and said in a cold official tone: "I am just doing my job. "
Xiaozhen thought it was very skilled in pretending.
"Are you the owner of the bionic doll?"
"Yes, yes." Its two front paws rubbed unnaturally.
"Your online name is Pure Maple?" Mr. Cat said, "So you disguised yourself as a human and seduced an underage Homo sapiens girl on an Internet with an independent civilization protection zone?"
"This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!" the alien named Pure Color Maple shouted, its voice soft and sticky, "I am just communicating normally, and I have not crossed the line. I swear to the Protoss that I abide by all galactic laws."
"You've crossed the line." Mr. Cat's voice was full of oppression. "Ask an underage human girl out is a crime in itself." He was so skilled, Xiao Zhen thought to himself, if he didn't know that there was no way the Eye of Supervision would ever hire a Heart Eater, he would almost think that Mr. Cat was a member of the Supervisory Committee.
"No, no, no! I will never meet her in my original form." Pure Maple's tail slapped the floor. "Look at my size. Even with optical camouflage, I can't pretend to be a normal human and walk here. I just want to give her, Jian Zhiyi, a gift. So I specially asked Sasha 2.1-5368 to go there for me."
The bionic doll next to him said, "Yes. My master just wants me to give her a gift."
"I won't ask her out again after this!!" Chunse Feng added anxiously.
"Tell me your age."
"According to the astronomical calendar, I have already passed the 189th astronomical year."
"For your species, 189 years old is already middle-aged. Why would you want to communicate and make friends with a human girl whose mind is not yet mature?"
Pure Maple looked up, the tentacle tongue in the crack seemed to be tasting the air in the room. "Because I am curious about the creatures like Homo sapiens, especially the immature female ones. So I want to try to get in touch with them for research."
"Research?"
"It's just my personal interest. Most species are sensitive and active during their adolescence. But female Homo sapiens are the most interesting group I have ever seen." Pure Color Maple tilted her head. "They are like birds struggling out of eggshells, weak and slender, fresh and attractive, just waiting for the female bird to stuff food into their mouths. In the city environment, most young women grow up under the wings of their parents. They have not yet touched the cruel adult world and do not know the default position of this world. At this age, they can take as much as they want like tyrants without having to take responsibility. This is the case for the young of almost every species. But the taste of the young Homo sapiens who do not know the world is more layered and rich, and it is endless to savor."
Xiao Zhen said: "So, you are a lolita complex."
"This name is a slander against me." Its tail scraped against the pebbles on the ground, splashing debris. "Think about it, when they grow up, the little birds finally flap their wings to contact the outside world with all their strength, but it is not as clear as the clear sky they see in the nest. Most of them will be swallowed up by society, become skilled employees of a company, become wives, become mothers, live for their husbands, parents, and children, and consume their physical strength and energy. These girls will one day become the objects they hate. They will become nagging and outdated mothers, become boring aunts, and finally become the same and exhausted in this society. In the face of the real birth, aging, illness and death, they will eventually compromise with everything. So do you understand? Only during this precious time, they are alive, a lovely balance between cunning selfishness and innocent selflessness, and all romantic and ridiculous fantasies. It is short and beautiful, like a breeze passing by before a starship makes a long-distance jump, like a meteor that is about to burn out after passing through the atmosphere."
Chicken said: "Dude, admit it, you are a lolita complex."
"Please do not slander my character. I have no interest in the flesh of a juvenile Homo sapiens. And I cannot tell the difference between the beauty and ugliness of an individual Homo sapiens."
That’s true, I can’t tell the difference between a loli beauty among lizards , Xiao Zhen thought to herself.
"Because young Homo sapiens are a collection of instability and contradictions. I compiled several programs to deal with the conversation with her. In this year, I have added no less than seven plural traits, and at the same time, I filter and select answers based on the other party's verbal analysis. Even so, there are still many uncontrollable variables. This is what amazes me. Even if I carefully compile and update the program, I can't predict the changes in her behavior."
"You mean she found a stand-in to meet her online friend?"
Its tail pattered against the pebbles again, its body shaking with excitement, "Yes!! In fact, I already knew her detailed information. She used photos of other Homo sapiens and claimed them as her own. To be honest, I can't really tell the difference between her face and her double's."
“…”
"But it doesn't matter. The unpredictable and the irrational are fascinating. If we can accurately deal with them with pure computation to achieve a realistic simulation, it will be a huge breakthrough."
Mr. Cat asked: "What is your purpose?"
It raised its paws and said in a clear broadcast voice: "I just want to simulate a perfect communication program that can deal with the human species. It's for my personal interest."
"Are you sure it's a human, and not a human girl?"
"Please don't question my purpose. I have already explained why I chose a human girl as the research subject, and I will not repeat it redundantly." Pure Color Maple's tentacle tongue trembled, "Please take a look at Sasha 2.1-5368. Her face is the original one. I have no interest in the appearance and body of the human species, and I have no idea, so I have no interest in modifying her face."
"Because you don't know if it will become deformed after the change."
Pure Maple Claw: "That's right!"
"My dear sir, you have now witnessed my innocence. I am just a rational scientific seeker."
Mr. Cat put on an arrogant demeanor of an official of the Supervisory Committee and announced that he would suspend the conviction of Chunse Feng. Chunse Feng's contact with "Key Memory" Xu Kewei would be limited to the Internet. Once they were found to have any three-dimensional abnormalities, Chunse Feng would immediately experience the iron fist of the Supervisory Committee.
"Okay. Okay!" It exhaled a stream of smelly hot air, and its tail excitedly swept away several pebbles.
Before leaving, Xiao Zhen asked Chunse Feng a question.
"How did you tell that the girl who played Key's Memory today was not human?"
"Because she has a delicious aroma." It said, "Sasha 2.1-5368 is directly connected to my senses. She doesn't smell like a human, but like some kind of delicious food. To be more precise, I am sure it is some kind of slime mold creature. Master of the Eye of Oversight, please forgive me for being frank, but the substitute you made for humans is really easy to seduce some slime mold lovers. Oh, by the way, please take this and pass it to her."
Xiao Zhen looked at the small box in her hand, which contained a small potted plant with a cactus planted in it. But Xiao Zhen was sure that this was not a local plant as it looked.
"Jian Zhiyi seems to have been troubled by some bumps and scars on her skin. This is the thorny grass I cultivated. Every once in a while, it will use the air flow to spread tiny thorns. These thorns can stimulate the metabolism of organisms and gradually heal the scars on her face. This is my gift to Jian Zhiyi, please help me pass it to her."
At night, Mr. Cat squatted on the table and studied the thorn grass. He concluded that there was no problem.
"I said that guy is a lolita." Captain Madara yelled, "Would you notice a small spot on a lizard's skin that is not harmful to its health and take the trouble to treat that lizard?"
Of course not. Let alone lizards, Xiao Zhen doesn’t have much sense of the beauty and ugliness of humans.
At the moment, the true form of this pure-colored Maple was strange, but Xiao Zhen was not worried about Xu Kewei. Because no one dared to act rashly after the warning from the Eye of Supervision. But this "Eye of Supervision" in front of him was really a bit too bold.
Xiao Zhen asked Mr. Cat: "Do you think it's okay to brag that you are the Eye of Supervision?"
"Don't worry, because no one will dare to doubt it."
"That's because up until now, anyone who dared to impersonate the Supervisory Committee has been reduced to dust along with the planet!"
