Volume 2 Rashomon of Yomi Hirasaka Chapter 28 New World
There were no clothes to choose from in the closet, and the boots were just mass-produced outdoor and indoor slippers for the sake of convenience. After taking a shower, Li Lin randomly picked a black hoodie, put on a pair of shorts, and walked out of the house in a pair of flip-flops.
I thought I could encounter some dazzling sunlight and feel the love from the new world, but it turned out that Li Lin was overthinking. In this era, it is not the morning when you are awake. With the popularization of sleep compression devices, the concept of time can really be displayed in no place other than the sky.
The sky outside was pitch black, with the white moon of the pale silver mechanical city hanging high in the sky, and countless stars and artificial satellites twinkling in the night sky. But the ground was not so cold, but rather very lively. Not far from Li Lin was the pedestrian street with people coming and going. Men and women who had lost the concept of sleep moved around in this city all day and all night without any feeling of fatigue. Or rather, they had already lost the feeling of fatigue that only living things have.
Great! Cybersurgery. The ultimate result of mankind's fight against nature. It's really awesome no matter how you look at it.
"call……"
It's a bit cold.
Li Lin opened his mouth and blew out a puff of white air, then rubbed his hands, put his hands into the pockets of his hoodie, and walked towards the pedestrian street that never sleeps.
As if to simulate the original night scene, artificial lights illuminated the ground on both sides of the street, and the warm night breeze blew my long hair, but there was no blower or lamp post. The development of technology is always so amazing and difficult to understand.
But what made him feel a little strange was that the closer he got to the pedestrian street, the more people there were, and the more people pointed at him. The strange and unbelievable looks on their faces made Li Lin wonder if he had done something wrong. He shook his body subconsciously and looked around him in a daze. But he couldn't find anything worth paying attention to.
But not long after, a handsome cyborg in a suit and tie ran out from the crowd with a bright smile.
" Wait a moment , please wait a moment!"
"...? What's going on?"
"I'm a talent scout from Sky City Entertainment, you can just call me 01. If I'm not mistaken, you're a pure natural person, right? Are you interested in developing your career here? People like you who can achieve perfection without relying on prosthetics or genes are really rare..."
"Natural person? No way? Am I seeing that?"
"Is he really a natural person? And that appearance looks artificial, right?"
"Are there any new actors promoted by the celebrity company?"
"……ah."
Li Lin suddenly realized.
Oh, right? If a natural person can easily distinguish a cyborg, then a cyborg can also easily distinguish a natural person, right? Mistake, mistake.
After all, pure natural people in this era are even rarer than giant pandas. There are even fewer natural people like Li Lin who are 100% pure and don't even have genetic adjustments. I guess many people have seen it for the first time. After all, there has been a trend of universal cyborgization. Not having a cyborg is as rare as not having personal information.
"Sorry, I have little interest in pleasing artificial things."
Li Lin decisively rejected the persuasion of the sunny-looking man, looked around, and quickly hid in an alley.
Li Lin quickly rolled up his waist-length hair and stuffed it into the hood, then pulled up the overly large hood, shrouding his entire head in shadow. Although the back of his head was a little itchy, it was better than being watched by others.
When he went out again, no one really cared about the hooded man.
After all, there are even stranger outfits than his. This kind of veil is the perfect cover-up.
“I’m really not used to it…”
After taking a look at the map on the platform sign, Li Lin thought about the location of the barber shop, and then quickly found the barber shop in the center of the luxury goods area as indicated by the booth.
After all, it is an era of universal prosthetics. Those who can have ordinary long hair and are qualified to get a haircut are undoubtedly quite natural people, and can even sleep naturally. It is not surprising that they can become the leader in the luxury goods area. However, the cost is naturally not something that ordinary people can afford.
But who made me rich?
Following the coordinates, Li Lin soon arrived at the barber shop.
After lowering the hood, his waist-length hair and completely untouched face naturally attracted a lot of admiration. There were even a group of people looking at him with envy. Even the owner came out to explain himself, hoping that Li Lin would stay.
After all, it was waist-length hair that grew naturally without hormones, and it was not bad to be a specimen. But Li Lin still rejected the kindness of these people and wanted to cut his hair short, at least to the ear-length, so that he could go out and meet people. This behavior, which was considered a waste by others, even aroused the anger of some people who looked like celebrities. However, Li Lin, who stayed at home, naturally had no idea who these women were, and decided to shave his hair.
However, as if to deliberately retaliate against Li Lin's wasteful behavior, the store manager who personally cut his hair made full use of his eloquence to describe each product to the sky. He was so dazed that he followed the store manager's instructions and asked the quick shopping system to order a lot of random things, which made others laugh.
It was not until he finished cutting his hair and walked home in the night breeze that Li Lin realized what he had done. Then he looked at the large and small bags he was carrying and at his feet and began to worry.
"I bought some useless stuff...what should I do with it?"
No one can deliver...
Looking at the supplies piled on the floor, Li Lin glanced at the innocent-looking service robot, and finally sighed. He patted its head to indicate that he had received them, and then slowly put together all the things that he had made on a whim.
But it was probably because he was too weak. After just a while, Li Lin felt a little tired. Li Lin was a person who did what he wanted to do, so he quickly gave up sorting out the messy things, opened the bedroom door, and threw himself on the bed. He soon fell into a sweet dream and fell asleep like an ordinary person.
Even at this time, the recorder on the bedside was flashing green light, still silently recording everything about Li Lin, and uploading it to the database as a basis for judging his quality.
'Everything is fine.'
The green reading showed that he still had no problems. He was just like any other good citizen.
