Ruyizhai

When he came to the foot of the Gene Tower, Wu Xingchen found that although the Gene Tower was called a "tower", there was not a single window on its body. It stood so straight under the yellow sky. The seams are like a natural chimney.

Wu Xingchen asked: "Does the Gene Tower have no windows? When was it built? Before this dungeon was found inside?" He also had many questions about this dungeon: "When was this dungeon discovered?" Why did you choose this place as a laboratory? It was after the laboratory was built that you decided to designate the ground here as a war camp, right?"

When asked here, Ruyizhai became impatient and urged Ali: "Will you let us in?"

Ali patiently listened to all of Wu Xingchen's questions, smiled at him and Ruyizhai, and sat down on the tower with a "please" gesture, saying: "Just ask the architect on duty today to explain, this is not a politician field."

After his words fell, the tower revealed a gap to them, and a young brown-skinned man stood inside the tower, facing them with the same smile on Ali's face.This is the standard smile that new humans will show when they express their inner welcome to others.

The brown-skinned man dressed as an architect did not speak.Ali introduced: "This is Jose Josein."

"This is Wu Xingchen, a wanted criminal from the Department of Social Services and the Department of Justice."

Jose didn't show any surprise or panic because of Wu Xingchen's identity, he didn't even show any unexpected emotions, he still smiled and shook hands with Wu Xingchen.It was the turn to introduce Ruyizhai, and Ali said, "This is the prototype of Android 0000, Mr. Ruyizhai, the owner of the antique bookstore."

Jose reached out his hand to Ruyizhai, and Ruyizhai took out a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches from his sleeve, and lit a cigarette.Jose looked a little confused, and Ali came out to smooth things over, saying, "He is an important research material."

Only then did Jose show a look of sudden realization, and said, "Please come in."

The three followed Jose into the tower.Inside the tower there is only a pair of glittering golden double spiral staircases."That's the main reason for building the gene tower," Jose said.

Wu Xingchen asked, "Is this the model of the gene sequence?"

"On February 1953, 2, the first double-helix gene model was built." Jose said, he raised his head and looked up at the sky. Everyone looked up at the sky. A vast expanse of whiteness.Wu Xingchen rubbed his eyes, trying to see higher and farther away, but there were only some blurred double images in the high places and in the distance. When he was outside, he thought the tower was only eighteen stories high at most, but Looking at it now, this gene tower seems to be infinitely high.

He led the three of them up the stairs.Ruyizhai walked in the front, looking around, trying to be active, Wu Xingchen walked at the end, thinking in his mind, it seemed that "they" knew him and Ruyizhai well.

Will Clara be one of "them"?Or "they" have the same monitoring technology as Clara, and there is another possibility that Clara entered "their" monitoring background with his technology in the electronic field and eavesdropped on "them".

And this Jose Josein, he also has some impressions, he should have read the obituary of his unexpected death.The word should make Wu Xingchen anxious for a while, he patted his right brain, and the movement was big.

Seeing this, Ruyizhai asked, "What are you doing?"

Wu Xingchen said: "Look for the accuracy of the memory," he slapped the right side of the head with a smaller movement, "trying to remove the word 'should' that appeared in the memory of his identity when he saw Jose. "

"What should he be?"

"Should be dead."

Jose turned his head and glanced at them, and Ali said: "Please rest assured, this is definitely not the afterlife. For the people here, death is not only an accident, but also a challenge, and it is also a new beginning."

Ruyizhai smoked and said, "That sounds more like the world after death." He touched the handrail of the stairs, which was also golden.The stairs began to rotate, and Jose said at this time: "This is the genome number 1567542, and its decipherment has been completed. Unfortunately, the genetic code cracking team is doing its best to decipher the gene, and cannot provide any explanation." He continued to go up Go, Ali walked beside him, Ruyizhai walked to another staircase, Wu Xingchen followed him silently, they met and separated with Jose and Ali, Wu Xingchen was a little confused about the structure of this staircase up.He glanced downstairs, and all he saw were endlessly rotating overlapping images, as if they had reached an endless height.

Jose continued to explain: "The Gene Tower was built based on the golden castle found in the Golden City. The project started in 3032 and took eight years. It was completed simultaneously with the laboratory. This piece of land on the ground is the last human Witness the place where the black dog, which can unlock the code of the new human soul."

Ruyi Zhai asked: "Didn't you find the old humans underground?"

Jose looked at Ali, and asked Ali to answer this question. Ali said: "Paleontologists have discovered human genetic codes in the animal and plant genes of the Golden City."

Ruyizhai frowned, and asked Wu Xingchen, "What does he mean?"

Wu Xingchen explained: "It means that the environment where the plants grow here may have absorbed things that contain human genes, and so have animals."

"Animals and plants eat clean people?"

Wu Xingchen nodded.They separated from Ali and the others again. The golden light shone on Ali and Jose. For a while, they had many golden shadows. For a while, Wu Xingchen couldn't tell which one was the real Jose and which one was the real one. Ali is gone.He grabbed Ruyizhai's hand, frightened for no reason.

Ru Yizhai looked at him, then looked down at their hands that were tightly held together, and said, "Now that I think about it, I'm scared?"

Wu Xingchen whispered to Ruyizhai, "I saw that black dog again just now." He said even more quietly, "Yes, now that I think about it, I'm scared. I thought you were dead just now."

"Who wouldn't die?"

"But you died before me, in front of me, how I feel about you...you don't know that feeling..."

Ruyizhai said: "I know." He lowered his head, slowed down his steps, surrounded by golden phantoms similar to his face, they all opened their mouths, and only made a thin voice.

"I said I love you, so how can people's associations be different about love and death? You may not believe me, she should describe more of my psychological activities, so that for you, my The relationship has changed, I may understand your feelings better now, but we have already returned to the inside, according to this style, she will not do that."

Wu Xingchen didn't say anything more, a strange emotion was rampant in his heart, he couldn't tell what it was, it seemed to be about "negation", about "questioning", about "imprisonment", about a kind of uncertainty.His palms were a little sweaty, and he let go of Ruyizhai's hand.

Jose is still explaining: "Since the tower was built, it has entered a state of maintenance. The construction team is on duty every day to update the design plan..."

Wu Xingchen suddenly said: "Didn't I tell you? Once I saw that black dog, and saw the black dog with a person, and that person looked exactly like Clara."

Ruyi Zhai said: "Since this film has elements of science fiction, there are three possibilities."

Wu Xingchen followed his intentions and began to speculate: "First, that is really Clara; second, Clara was cloned or created according to that person; third, Clara is me, all this is my dream .”

They met Jose again, face to face, Jose said: "This is the genome number 763847929, this is the genome that controls the secretion and metabolism of human oil, and it is also where the R&D department of Bart Company is located."

Wu Xingchen saw that on the floor where the genome number 763847929 was located, they seemed to have come to a brand new space. This was an endless office floor. On the carpet was written: Bart Butter, the three must-eat butters in life!There is also an ad on the ceiling: Luna Butter!Three must-have butters in life!You can even see the advertising slogan scrolling on the window: Nelson Butter, the most correct choice in your life!

You can even see the sky and tall buildings from the window.

Wu Xingchen asked in surprise, "Do these three companies all belong to Bart Company?"

This question is still up to Ali to answer.He smiled and nodded in acquiescence.Jose continued: "This is based on New York as a model. Look, you can see Central Park from there. The architecture team and the miniature model team cooperated to reproduce the spiritual sanctuary of human beings in this urban desert."

Jose led them to continue to go up, and there was a new space!However, the layout of the floors is nothing new. This place is owned by the research and development department of the Coca-Cola Company, and then there are Shell Oil, Red Deer Saccharin... Every floor space is so orderly, people who work will not throw themselves at Wu Xingchen and the others. Let me give you an extra look. They are working at the desk, doing experiments, or researching data models. Each layer is like infinitely large.And recalling that chimney-like tall tower, in its limited space, it contains so many infinite spaces, it seems like another six heavens.

"The architectural concept of the Gene Tower originated from the eighteenth floor of hell. Now, its architectural technology is used in various industries such as tourism and construction. I wonder if the two of you have ever been to Xi'an, where the thirteen dynasties overlapped. The technology of Gene Tower was used." Jose proudly puffed out his chest, "I am honored to participate in it."

He stopped again, and this time they saw a corridor full of people, with rooms on both sides, and near the stairway there was a sign saying "Appeal Application Submission Office" At the window of the word, a group of lawyers and some people in black jumpsuits with writing on their heads crowded together. Wu Xingchen saw "curious", "arrogant", and "diverse" waving paper folders in their hands and dragging them together. A lawyer crowded in front of this window and shouted loudly: "Appeal! Appeal!!"

One lawyer even pushed Ali to the next floor. When Ali came back up, he wiped his sweat and said, "Sorry, I made you laugh. This is the 465 Genome, commonly known as the 'Cultural Court'. Here is The busiest and most lively place in Gene Tower."

Ali looked at Wu Xingchen and said, "Then, Mr. Wu, do you want to take a deeper look?"

465 genomes!Didn't the doctors at the sanitarium send him to a war camp just because he lacked this set of genes?

At this time, a group of lawyers rushed out of the room, shouting: "The appeal has been rejected! The original judgment is upheld! "The Potato Eaters" is rejected!"

Everything that happens in the Cultural Court seems to be noisy.

Wu Xingchen scratched the bridge of his nose and nodded.Jose was waiting at the stairs, browsing the floors must not be within his scope of authority, and Ali led Wu Xingchen and Ruyizhai to conduct an in-depth visit.

"These characters are played by people, right?" Ruyizhai pointed to the characters who can be seen everywhere in the corridor.

"Yes, they are the best actors on the ground." Ali said.

Suddenly, a character with the word "Moon" jumped in front of them, tore off her clothes, and stretched out her tall breasts. On her snow-white skin was written with a black pen: Return the moon to the female. !

She howled: "Give back the moon to the yin! Give the moon back to the yin!!"

Men dressed as police officers soon appeared and dragged her away from them.

Ali smiled and said, "I heard that the actor who played the moon was born in a family that gave birth to many language evolutionists."

"Where are they taking her? Are they the police?" Wu Xingchen looked back at the moon writer who was taken away by the police.

Ali gave the answer: "Those are the bailiffs of the cultural court. This is the only court in the world. They are the only bailiffs in the world. They are very different from the police. Their main duty is to maintain the order of the cultural court." , Of course, violence is forbidden, they will take the moon to cleanse the body and perform aseptic treatment, the cleanliness of the body largely affects the cleanliness of the mind.”

As he spoke, Ali pointed to a door on their right, and said, "Is there any trial you two would like to attend?"

Every door on the long corridor is marked with the matters that are being processed behind the door. Wu Xingchen saw that "firm" and "buyi" were getting divorced, and heard hysterical roars coming from the door. They were arguing Grabbing shaken custody rights, the third review meeting on whether "Dead House Notes" was placed in the library of the war camp is going on in one room, and the discussion on the restoration and deletion of "The Hanging" has been going on in one room It's been three days and three nights.

Ruyizhai pointed to a door that read "'Mei' trial, the countdown to the court session: 05:00, please submit your application at the hearing application office" and said: "This."

Ali then led them to an office with the sign "Application Office for Auditing". There was only one desk in the office, a "waiting area" - a bench with the words "waiting area" printed on it, and A woman sitting at a table and writing a book.There was a pile of application forms on the table, and while Ali was filling out the forms, Wu Xingchen and Ruyizhai were sitting in the waiting area.There are various posters posted in the waiting area, on the walls, on the ground, everywhere, even the chair legs are covered by posters.Ruyizhai tore off a [-]-fold poster and looked at it with interest.Wu Xingchen glanced at it, and the poster was densely packed with words, which probably condensed all of Henry Miller’s books on one poster. These reduced words formed seven large characters and two punctuation marks: Henry Miller Miller is back!

"This is an important position in the battle of public opinion." Ali's voice sounded, and he sat in the waiting area with a smile. He glanced at the poster in Ruyizhai's hand: "The Revival Paris Committee is trying its best to promote Henry Miller's Come back, they want to make the Thirteenth District Henry Miller District."

He said: "The application has been submitted, now we just need to wait patiently."

Wu Xingchen looked at him and said, "Why do you take such good care of us?"

Ali said: "There are also art galleries and theaters here. If the two want to stay and work, there are many choices."

Ruyi Zhai said: "If I say we don't plan to stay, what will you do? Kill us and silence us, after all, now we know the secrets underground in the war camp."

Ali smiled: "Kill you? No, even if you go back to the ground and spread your knowledge underground, do you think anyone will believe you? Of course, the laboratory is inclined to keep the two, after all Bit is very rare and important to the lab, but if you plan to leave, the lab will not stop you. This is your choice. In the world of new humans, anyone can make a decision. Any choice, but people need to bear the corresponding consequences for these choices."

Ruyi Zhai said: "You will send people to monitor us? How does this look like the plot in the Cold War?"

Wu Xingchen smiled wryly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, someone has been watching us all the time."

Ruyi Zhai laughed, patted him, and stuffed the poster into his hand. The woman sitting behind the desk who kept writing something raised her hand and shouted: "The application has been approved!"

Ali said: "It's okay, it's okay, you two don't have to make a decision now."

He got up, took Wu Xingchen and Ruyizhai into the trial scene of "Mei".
