Ginseng disease, you
Chapter 21 The Uncanny Valley
He clenched the water glass in his hand tightly, and the hot water splashed on his hand, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
"I started to force her, and I begged her to meet me during the day." He put his fingers on the table, bent slightly, and showed regret between his brows.
"Every time we break up, I worry about whether she won't come," he said.
A man in love cannot find the whereabouts of his lover. This sense of powerlessness and insecurity stirs his nerves.
"But she was so obedient, she said she never wanted to see me again, and she would still appear in my dream the next day." Pei Jinyan smiled, and after many days, she could still feel the sweetness of regaining what was lost.
He knew that the problem between them was still unresolved, but the sweetness in the dream and the contradiction in reality pulled his heart like a tug of war.
But they all tacitly held the mentality of not breaking through, and closed the curtains to block out the hidden dangers.
But hidden dangers will eventually explode.
At the beginning of this year, a very serious loophole appeared in the network operated by his company, which may lead to the leakage of information of tens of thousands of users.
Everyone in the company worked overtime to maintain the loopholes, and as one of the core members, he worked continuously for several days and nights, with a total of less than eight hours of rest in between.
After finally filling the loopholes, the whole company went to a dinner party to celebrate.He was drunk a lot, all the men present were drunk, and it was his colleague Xu Jie who sent him back.
He wanted to refuse, but Xu Jie smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid that I will take the opportunity to cheat on you? Don't worry!"
Xu Jie has a generous personality and strong work ability, and has a good relationship with him, and they are considered friends.
Xu Jie once euphemistically hinted that she had a crush on him, but he also refused because he had his own.
Afterwards, Xu Jie was still generous, with a clear distinction between public and private, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.
She sent him home and made hangover soup.
Xu Jie said: "Drink some hangover soup before going to sleep, I'll be leaving first."
She raised her foot and pulled up the strap of her high heels, then turned to him and said, "If your 'heart belongs' changes rooms, I will make a reservation first." Before Pei Jinyan could answer, she waved her hand and left gracefully.
Alcohol and lack of sleep made Pei Jinyan's brain ache. He didn't drink the hangover soup and lay on the bed.
The man in the dream soon appeared.
She was very anxious, and ran quickly from the white mist to hug him.
"What's wrong with you——I'm so worried!" He didn't even mention that he searched for four nights in the white mist.
The hands around his waist kept shaking, and it was the first time Pei Jinyan clearly felt that he was not the only one who was terrified.
This feeling gave her more than just happiness.
There is still a long wait and fear.
She has no way of knowing what he has experienced outside.
Alcohol made his mood swings more pronounced, and he felt unspeakably sad.
He heard his own voice say, "I want to see you—"
He hoped that she would be the one who picked him up after he was drunk, and that she would be the one who cooked him sober soup.The dissatisfaction hidden in the daily life is rolling in my heart.
The woman's arms wrapped around his waist, and she tightened her grip.
The voice said in a low voice: "You know--I'm not human."
She looked up at him, trying to find his eyes.
She said, "Then do you know what I am?"
Pei Jinyan was speechless for a moment.
He couldn't lie to himself, he knew she was not human.
It is impossible for a man to travel through his dreams night after night.
She raised her hand to tear off the white mist covering her face.
The face covered by the white mist was blank.
It wasn't completely blank either. There were ups and downs on the bridge of the nose and slightly sunken eye sockets on that face—all the facial features had begun to take shape, as if they had been wrapped in white plaster.
Pei Jinyan unconsciously let go of his hands.
Masahiro Mori, a Japanese robotics expert, once hypothesized that as the degree of anthropomorphism of humanoid objects increases, the favorability of human beings will also change, which is the famous uncanny valley theory.
The uncanny valley is the range where human favorability suddenly drops as robots reach the level of "close to human".
Being so human but not human can feel like a potential threat.
Often people are intimidated by plaster casts that are too realistic.
What's more, it's a lover who is in love with each other.
He froze for a moment.
He thought about what kind of face it was under the white mist.
Maybe it's because she is naughty and shy, but under the white mist is her beautiful and lovely face.
Maybe she was injured and had scars on her face.
Or maybe she doesn't look good.
He can accept it.
But it didn't occur to him that the face was blank.
The woman also lowered her head slowly, even though she had the realization that he couldn't accept it, she still had a glimmer of hope.
But now this extravagant hope has been shattered.
The woman rushed over and hugged him again, and disappeared into a dream the next moment.
He woke up with a start.
Cold sweat drenched his shirt.
He never dreamed of her again.
The initiative of this love has been with her from beginning to end.
She could find him, but there was nothing he could do.
The fear faded, and the distressed feeling began to recover.
"I still love her," the man whispered.
Qi Yu's heart is very complicated. Even though he is a local demon who has just come out of the mountains, he also knows the difficulty of falling in love with a ladyboy.
All the cross-breed demon couples he knew parted ways because of the huge differences in eating habits between the flower demon and the chicken essence.
This is still the case with demons and demons, let alone humans and demons.
Demons may not harm people, but they always have an inhuman side.
Ordinary people are bound to feel fear.
Moreover, the lifespan of a demon is at least a few hundred years. What will they do when their lover passes away?
For the Yaomeng, love between transvestites is a huge unstable factor.
Let's talk about it, the demon might do some disharmonious things because of love and hatred.
Let's not talk about collapse, demons will become demons after the death of a lover, haunting haunted areas is a trivial matter, and some courageous people even engage in sorcery that defies the sky to renew their lives.
All in all, a headache.
Qi Shu said, "It's not easy for a ladyboy to fall in love with each other. I've never seen one succeed."
"..." After a brief silence, Pei Jinyan replied, "I know, I know."
"Then did you find Xiaoqian?" Qi Yu asked, Xiaoqian was the model's name.
The man showed a smile uglier than crying: "I found it, but lost it again."
After separating from Xiaoqian, Pei Jinyan thought of many ways.
Including inviting people to do the practice.
But the most reliable way is to start with Cerelia.
Cerelia is a relatively popular brand, and there are 46 stores in this city alone.
"I searched nearby first, but to no avail." If Xiaoqian wanted to hide, of course he couldn't find it.
Cerelia's models are all custom-made, and when Xiaoqian appeared in the dream, except for the face, the body posture was very natural, and there was no recognizable characteristic shape.
He began to think about why Xiaoqian came to him.
An almost forgotten event emerged from memory.
That was in April and May last year.
Once when he was shopping for a summer dress, it happened that Cerelia's co-branded model was on sale. Many people lined up to wait for the store to open.
When the security guard opened the glass door, everyone rushed forward and snatched up the joint money.
Men and women who are well-dressed seem to have torn off the shackles of appearance, and lost their good-looking manners for the sake of good-looking appearance.
Soon someone noticed the joint model on the model, and several men pushed the model to the ground and began to pick off her clothes.
Before the clerk had time to stop him, a man held up the model's clothes as proudly as if he had captured the enemy's battle flag.
Others who didn't grab it kicked the naughty model a few times as if venting their anger.
The upsurge comes quickly and goes away quickly.
Those who got it quickly went to check out, and those who didn't get it just walked away.
Clerks are busy checking out and sorting out clothes that are strewn about.
The model is still lying on the ground.
In order to undress, the hands of plaster models were pulled over their heads.
Pei Jinyan looked at the models on the ground and felt a little pity.
He walked over to help the model, grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on her.
The clerk next to him thanked him again and again, and he nodded and left quickly.
turn out to be--
Faded memories came to mind, and he could even recall the orange dress and green skirt he had put on her.
It's very earthy, she must not like it.
"I found her, but she didn't respond." Pei Jinyan smiled bitterly, "I come to see her every day after get off work. She will always forgive me after a long time."
Qi Yu looked down at the coffee in the cup that was slowly dissipating heat, and remembered what Xiaoqian said to him last time.
Xiaoqian's body was locked, and she couldn't get out.The only way to find him is to rely on dreams.
She wanted to cultivate quickly so that she could find him as soon as possible.
She said she wanted to tell her lover, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it. I'll have a pretty face and I'll be able to walk down the street with you."
She begged Qi Yu not to take her away.
She just wants to wait for someone.
The handprint reflected on the glass is also because he was waiting for him at the window.
Can't go out, can only stand in front of the window at night, hoping to see him with almost zero hope.
"But she is an awkward person, she has forgiven me a long time ago." Pei Jinyan pursed her dry lips. "Last month, I was coming home from a night shift. It was raining and a car skidded and rushed towards me."
"I didn't have time to dodge when I heard a crash. The car stopped in front of me, the bumper of the car flew off, but there was no one in front of me."
"I know it's her," he said.
He went to Cerelia the next day, and the model's body did show cracks.
"But she never showed up again."
"I, I'm worried..." She disappeared.
Both of them understood what he didn't say.
Qi Yu comforted him and said, "Probably not. Although it is very weak, the evil spirit she left on you still exists."
Demons can leave their aura on important people.
The demon can sense when it is in danger.
That's why she was able to rescue Pei Jinyan in time.
Qi Yu fiddled with the condensed water droplets on the cup, causing them to gather faster and roll down.
Qi Shu also has his own demonic aura on him.
It's just that the two are together every day, and Qi Shu is used to the smell on his body, so he can't feel it.
"Then how can I find her?" Pei Jinyan asked.
Qi Yu was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know where to find her.
The probability of the demon returning to its original body is the highest. If it cannot be found, there is really no other way.
Qi Shu reluctantly received Qi Yu's expectant gaze. Ever since he met Qi Yu, he has almost changed from a ghost catcher to a philanthropist.
He said, "Take the model home first. If the cracks on her body are found, they may be disposed of."
What he said was very reasonable, and Pei Jinyan immediately stood up when he heard it, for fear that Xiaoqian would be dealt with if he was a second late.
Qi Shu also provided the address of the Demon League, the situation of a plaster model becoming a demon is a bit special.
Although he could help, he didn't need to take matters into his own hands. If it wasn't for Qi Yu, he would never have interfered in such matters.
If this matter can't be handled well, then there's no need to talk about it.
There will never be fewer contradictions in love between ladyboys.
If Pei Jinyan has made up his mind, he should have the awareness to break away from the normal life he has.
The author has something to say:
The inspiration for this little story came from a shopping trip where I saw a little brother silently zip up the skirt that was unzipped on a plaster model.
In an instant, I felt that my little brother was super educated.
Quack: Secretly asking for a collection, I really hope that Qi Yu can stretch out his little beard to help me collect it=3=
Qi Yu: Yes, is there a salary?

Xu Jie has a generous personality and strong work ability, and has a good relationship with him, and they are considered friends.
Xu Jie once euphemistically hinted that she had a crush on him, but he also refused because he had his own.
Afterwards, Xu Jie was still generous, with a clear distinction between public and private, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.
She sent him home and made hangover soup.
