Ruyizhai

Wu Xingchen drove around the bar twice, found its back door, and observed it for a while. The cleaners of this bar would come out from time to time to check the operation of a small garbage disposer by the back door.The backdoors of bars and restaurants are often equipped with processors that shredder waste and generate new energy.The processor is usually connected to the power system of the bar to provide energy for the bar's advertising light box or other equipment that consumes little power.However, the bar's light box seems to have encountered some malfunctions, so that the cleaners frequently come out to check the status of the equipment. At this time, the back door of the bar will remain open, and the cleaners will concentrate on staring at the garbage disposal machine.Wu Xingchen seized an opportunity and slipped into the bar.

The bar is very hot, the air is dry, a bit like a desert at noon, but the surrounding light is sparse, like night.

Both sides of the bar aisle are full of glass windows, and inside the glass are one after another themed private rooms, each of which is crowded with people.Wu Xingchen also patronized this kind of private bar before. Strangers gather together because of the same hobbies. Those who like insects will hold an insect feast. The room is full of butterflies, of course virtual butterflies, simulated butterflies and real butterflies. Fees vary widely.The last time he came to the private room to participate in a gathering of hobbyists was a book club. People gathered together and chatted with sentences in books. While communicating, they could also guess which book these sentences came from, which was very interesting.70.00% of the people who came to the party came from museums, and the rest were lovers of ancient books, and people who were partying with them in avatars as far away as Star K.Thinking about it now, the atmosphere at the party was warm and joyful, and everyone had the source of the sentence on their heads. Wu Xingchen also collected a lot of names and learned a lot of useful knowledge at the party. It was only after that party that I realized that watching "A Dream of Red Mansions" in italics is a different kind of enjoyment.

However, all the bars he went to only served new human customers, but in this bar, he walked all the way in, and saw a lot of customers with mechanical skeletons through the glass windows along the way, some of them were in the confused lights Dancing body, some sitting among a bunch of people with human skin - are those new humans?Or is it just a mechanical body in human skin?

Unlike the service area in the underground of Paris, the customers in the bar don't seem to care about exposing themselves to the gaze of others. There are no advertisements here. The sound insulation effect of the glass is very poor. The bar operator probably thinks that the window display is the best advertisement. publicity.Grab the attention of others visually and audibly.

In some of the windows there were scenes of letters being handed over.

Many people searched for Gao Chao naked in the jungle.

On the opposite side of the jungle window is a window showing the ancient Egyptian style. By the clear pool, several wheat-colored women in white skirts walked by holding clay jugs.There are several snow-white lotus flowers floating on the pool.

The space in the bar may be infinite, and the time in the bar may also be infinite.

Wu Xingchen tapped his head, he really had too many "maybes" in his head.He started having headaches again.

"Hey, you! Sir!"

Suddenly, such a shout came from behind Wu Xingchen, he didn't dare to turn his head, and he didn't dare to ask or respond, he cursed in his heart: Why is it the reporter in the underground service area again!It's really haunting!

He couldn't hear it wrong, this voice belonged to that journalist!

Wu Xingchen took a picture on the left and right, saw the room with the words "washroom" written on it, and hurried in.He was startled when he entered, what kind of bathroom did he enter, it was clearly a human skin dry cleaner!The wall is full of hooks, and one piece of human skin is hung on the hook!Some wore Tang clothes, some wore Song skirts, some wore ancient Egyptian costumes, and even some had naked bodies, long beards, and big feet.Men and women, old and young.Two fully automatic washing and drying machines were in operation. Some dried clothes were grabbed out of the machine by two mechanical hands, shook in the air, and hung on an empty hook. This was a skin bag of Ramses III.

Wu Xingchen had an idea, grabbed the skin bag and put it on, and walked out.The reporter was still in the aisle, the two looked at each other, the reporter rolled his eyes, and walked towards him, Wu Xingchen hurriedly looked for the Egyptian private room he saw just now, when he arrived at the door of the private room, the door was closed, he took a picture He glanced at the glass window twice, but no one paid attention, but the reporter was getting closer and closer to him, holding a business card in his hand, and Wu Xingchen could already catch a glimpse of the name on the business card.Michelle Yin.

Damn, it really was him.

Wu Xingchen was both angry and afraid.

"Hey, why are you standing there?"

The door of the private room opened, and a woman with the silhouette of Nefertiti looked Wu Xingchen up and down, and dragged him into the private room.Wu Xingchen was excited and hugged her.Nefertiti giggled: "Are you a friend of 78908?"

Wu Xingchen was sure that the woman said something else before 78908, but he couldn't understand.He glanced at the glass window, he couldn't see the situation outside from inside the private room, so Wu Xingchen nodded.The woman took him into a flat boat.She fanned the wind twice with her hand, and pulled a zipper from her forehead all the way to her chest, revealing the black-glowing mechanical head and neck under Nefertiti's skin, and said, "It's really hot."

The woman's mouth didn't move, the mouth on her skin moved.

Wu Xingchen thought of it, the mechanical body does not communicate with words.

The woman lay in the boat, with her hands on the sides, and they wandered on a small blue stream, the banks of which were golden.The wind blows some fine sand, forming a golden curtain in the air, the curtain dances, the sun dances, and the water is covered with glittering gold coins.

Wu Xingchen only regrets that he is not a writer and cannot describe such a beautiful scene.

"Look, it's 08."

08 seems to be a nickname for 78908.Wu Xingchen followed the woman's fingers and saw a man who looked like Tutankhamun sitting upright on a stone chair.Behind him is the majestic Colossus of Memnon.Tutankhamun's eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost his mind.

"What is he doing?" Wu Xingchen asked.

"He's playing a financial game," the woman said.

Wu Xingchen said: "That's a game only for new humans, isn't it? You must wear a terminal, right?"

The woman said: "Mechanical bodies can rent terminals in the Communication Promotion Committee by virtue of the mechanical body identity authentication, don't you know?"

"Is it a one-time use terminal? Will it generate a temporary identity?"

The woman said, "No, it's all the terminals of some dead people."

"Haven't all those terminals been destroyed?"

"The entity is destroyed, but the data is still preserved. As long as there is data, everything will be fine." The woman's eyes divided on both sides of her body looked at Wu Xingchen, and even the two eye sockets of her mechanical skeleton were facing each other. Wu Xingchen, the woman said, "08 said you are a frequent visitor to Earth."

Wu Xingchen laughed twice: "Your proficiency in the common language is not bad, and you also know words like everything will be fine."

The woman knocked on the head, and the glazed ore skeleton made two hollow sounds. She said, "Do you know what will happen if you guess the numbers wrong?"

"It's really not clear." Wu Xingchen said, "lost the game currency on the game account?"

The woman said: "Loss will stimulate the human brain to produce a protein. Humans call them 'numb'. 'Numb' can calm people's nerves and make people feel calm, serene and peaceful like never before."

"You mean peace?"

"Ah, yes, it's this word. It seems that you are really a regular visitor to Earth, or are you just a new human?" The woman smiled.Her lower skeleton did not move.

Wu Xingchen cleared his throat: "Then 08 is experiencing 'numbness'?"

"No, he is collecting the falling digital energy. The mechanical body is derived from the digital, and the digital is the energy source of the mechanical body. The alliance has turned the entire New York into a factory that produces digital energy, and sells these digital energy to the mechanical body in exchange for Excellent coins, and then use the excellent coins to buy some technologies of the mechanical body."

"You mean this is an alliance... Isn't this a game invented by the college's preparatory students?" Wu Xingchen wondered, "Besides, it would be nice to exchange technology directly with digital energy. Why do we need a currency process?"

"First of all, mechanical bodies travel extensively in the universe. Humans have reason to believe that their currency is more universal than human cash and credit; secondly, there is no currency process and a civilization like the Alliance is needed. What is the cultural composition? Objects are an ancient tradition among human tribes, but some cultures, developments, and human beings believe that all traditions of tribes are barbaric and backward, and the civilized currency system eliminates the unequal resources that occur in bartering. "The woman stumbled and spoke in the common language, suddenly propped up her upper body, and said to Wu Xingchen: "New human being, don't you feel bored wearing human skin? Do you know the meaning of those words? Even if you are not a machine, You are still welcome, welcome, communicate, welcome."

Wu Xingchen was indeed a little stuffy, but it wasn't because of the human skin on his body, his heart was stuffy.

The woman sat up completely at this moment, she put her arms around Wu Xingchen's neck, before he could react, she opened his skin, grabbed his right hand, grabbed his terminal, and stuck it to her forehead .

The touch of the glazed mine was warm, and black light flickered in the woman's mechanical skull.Wu Xingchen's eyes darkened, as if he had fallen into a vast night, or as if he had entered a dark cave.

In an instant, his eyes lit up again, like thousands of light box advertisements lit up at the same time, but there was not a single word or punctuation on these advertisements, all of them were moving images, like his information board on Liuxing The picture you will see on the screen: flowers bloom and wither; the shuttle flies out of Liuxing; a white spaceship shuttles through the cosmic dust; a man with long beard and long hair in a leather skirt polishes arrow clusters with stones; A child chases a blue balloon with its mouth open; a train runs off its tracks and runs over black crows; Indians stand in the water and blow their horns; bulls push through fences; dead bodies tumble from a wagon Down, endlessly, rolling towards the end of the forest...all meaningless, illogical, and unable to find any connection pictures, Wu Xingchen saw that his eyes were sore and his head was swollen, he tried to push away these pictures In the picture, at this moment, a black hole jumped out from behind a pink balloon, staring at Wu Xingchen, and a black dog also stared at him. The black dog passed through the black hole and entered the snow-white spaceship. People - only the back view, it looks like a man from the back - the man and the black dog are walking on the aisle of the spaceship talking, surrounded by long red, white and blue light beams.Another flower bloomed and withered, many lives were born, and the scene of decay filled Wu Xingchen's field of vision. He opened up the corpses of these flowers and looked for the black dog among the blooming flowers.

His hand was cut by the picture and began to bleed, but he didn't care at all, he couldn't care less, he just wanted to find the black dog.He can't even take care of Ruyi Zhai...

wishful fast.

These three words suddenly fell from the sky, piercing Wu Xingchen's body.Wu Xingchen was shocked, he was no longer in his body, and he could see himself being pierced by "Ruyi Zhai".He saw his own blood, and the stupid look of himself lying on the ground dumbstruck.He remembered the writer's words.

He put on someone else's skin, and then completed a kind of detachment.

Did he have an epiphany?

What does he want to realize?

Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form?

Wu Xingchen touched the breath of Wu Xingchen who was lying on the ground, he was still alive, did he want to save him?How to save him?

Come on!Help!Wu Xingchen shouted, a black dog came over and walked to Wu Xingchen's feet lying on the ground.The black dog sniffed Wu Xingchen's hand, turned his head, and looked at the darkness behind it.Wu Xingchen followed and looked out, and there were those moving images again.

Silkworms weave cocoons, mayflies spend half a day, praying mantises eat their husbands, and spiders weave silk.

The back of a man and a black dog were walking on the bright aisle of the spaceship. They walked, walked, walked to the top of Wu Xingchen's head, walked, walked to Wu Xingchen's side, and they wiped each other with him. Passing by, Wu Xingchen caught a glimpse of the man's face.

Clara!why you!

Wu Xingchen shouted!

Clara's face leaped out of the darkness with a bark.All moving images shattered.The sky is raining numbers, and the rain is pouring.Wu Xingchen not only had a headache, his whole body began to ache, his body seemed to be shattered into pieces along with the moving images, he took another look at Wu Xingchen lying on the ground, he was still unconscious.Wu Xingchen couldn't stand the shattering pain anymore, and also passed out.

"The flash memory is overloaded, and it looks like it's going to rain."

These were the last words he heard before he fainted.

I don’t know how long it took, Wu Xingchen woke up, he touched his face, he still looked like an Egyptian, the sky of the Nile River rained numbers, densely packed 1234567890 kept falling, Nefertiti and Tutanka Meng is gone, Wu Xingchen stood up, still not feeling well, and staggered to the door of the private room, and someone from the other private room opposite came out, everyone was at a loss, and occasionally someone said: " It seems to be overloaded again." "It must be another short circuit on the garbage disposal side."

The new humans didn't react much, but some mechanical skeletons fled in a panic in the aisle.Wu Xingchen saw the chaotic situation, and hurriedly escaped from the bar with several mechanical bodies.

Police cars were parked outside the bar, and police aircraft were everywhere in the sky.The police officers used the electronic network to collect the digital rain. The moment the electronic network was opened, Wu Xingchen realized that the momentum of this electronic rain was too strong, as if the sky was flooding, and the electronic network was full of numbers in the blink of an eye .Seeing so many policemen, Wu Xingchen didn't have time to think about whether the heavy rain had something to do with him, so he fled, returned to the car, kicked the accelerator, and rushed towards Dunhuang.
