[Comprehensive] Science and Magic

Tell me what the new inhabitants are and who 'they' are. "

Seeing this, the loosened woman ran away without looking back.

At this moment, Laura suddenly realized, what was the source of the constant sense of disobedience.

It's Steve.Steve was still wearing the Captain America uniform and carrying the shield, but none of the No-Maj camped out in the woods recognized him.Even now, the sheriff and his staff don't react to Steve's appearance, as if he is just an ordinary person.

Originally, everything was still reasonable, perhaps this is a primitive society independent of the outside world, unable to receive information from the outside world.But the man and the woman obviously knew about Captain America.

So, what the hell is this place?

"I... loose..." the man said out of breath, "loose..."

Steve let go of his hand a little and repeated, "What is a new resident?"

The man gave Steve a fearful look, gasped and said, "That's just me..."

"What about them? Aren't these people new residents?" Laura asked, pointing at the three sheriffs.

"That's the receptionist..."

Laura said strangely: "Why is it called 'receptionist'? I thought the new residents should correspond to the aborigines."

Steve then asked, "Who is 'them' telling you you won't get hurt?"

The man shivered for a moment, and said falteringly, "That's right, it's them..."

Steve put a gun to his temple: "It seems that you are still dishonest."

"Let me go, I'm just a tourist!" The man burst into tears and cried, "I don't know anything, I have a daughter outside, I'm really just a tourist! I don't know you Why is it here, why is Captain America here, I'm just here on vacation, I don't know anything..."

"Why don't we go to the tavern in the town and sit down and have a good chat?" The sheriff who hadn't said a word suddenly said, he stared straight ahead blankly, and repeated in his mouth: "Why don't we go to Maeve Why don't we go to Maeve's tavern and have a chat?  …"

If Laura had been a cat, all her fur would have exploded by now.The sheriff repeated those two sentences with a deadpan expression, as if he were just a programmed robot.

Taking advantage of the few seconds when Laura and Steve were attracted by the sheriff, the man crawled into the woods on hands and feet.

"Someone's been watching us," Laura said.

"Yes." Steve squeezed his fists, "Then let's go to the tavern in the town to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd."

The author has something to say: I underestimated the fighting power of a child who can play for five hours after charging for 2 minutes...

No. 3 also crashed into a car, but fortunately he was fine, the car was towed away, and the road killer's car crash achievement was achieved [laughing and crying

Now sadly rushing to the list...

Chapter 47

Sweetwater is a typical western town.The whole town of Sweetwater is very retro. The men wear western cowboy suits, and most of them have guns on their waists; the women wear complicated skirts, or wear hairpin hats, or hold small parasols.

If she hadn't met someone who could recognize the identity of Captain America, Laura might have thought she had traveled through time and space.

On the way to Maeve's Tavern, everyone is nodding to Laura and Steve.They walked through a street like orangutans being watched in a zoo, and finally reached the end of the trip.

Maeve's Tavern.

"You're new here," said a beautiful woman with brown hair, a high nose bridge, and thick lips, and put her hand on Laura's cheek. a kiss.She winked at Laura. "Still young. I can give you a discount..."

"Enough, Clementine."

A female voice interrupted her roughly.

The surrounding scenery changed accordingly, and Steve grabbed Laura's arm immediately.They were no longer standing in a crowded tavern, but in an empty room with white walls on all sides.

"Welcome." The female voice continued, "Welcome to Westworld."

Steve exclaimed, "It's not good hospitality to be sneaky."

"Hahaha." With a strange laugh, a holographic projection of a person appeared in the room.The man looked weird, with a big head, short limbs, a protruding forehead, and a pair of ridiculous glasses.Even if Laura thought she didn't judge people by appearance, she was taken aback by this appearance.

"Who are you?" Laura asked.

Almost at the same time, Steve asked, "What's your relationship with Dr. Zola?"

The strange-looking big-headed doll looked at Steve and said, "It's an honor, Captain America still remembers my father."

Laura asked, "Who is Dr. Zola?"

Steve's face was very bad.He said in a deep voice, "That's a scientist from the evil Nazi organization Hydra, the right-hand man of the Red Skull."

"I thought Hydra had been wiped out," Laura said.

"I thought so too - but based on what's going on now, it's clear that it isn't."

"Chop off one head and grow two." Dr. Zola's daughter proudly said, "You should have known it long ago, Captain America. Let me introduce myself, I am also Dr. Zola—Alice Zola , nice to meet you."

Steve said solemnly, "What do you want?"

"No, no, no. I don't want to get anything from you. Your super soldier serum is a thing of the past..." Zola said and turned to look at Laura, showing a funny and penetrating smile: "My goal is you, Laura Johnson, a mutant wizard."

"What do you want from me?" Laura asked, clutching her wand tightly.

Zora did not answer Laura's question.She just waved her hand, and the white walls around turned into a display screen, showing the projections of Sweetwater Town, the woods, the desert, and places Laura had never been to.She said: "See? This is the world I created. The real world is just a chaos of accidents, but here, every detail has meaning."

"Those people... those 'receptionist', are also part of your creation?"

"Ah, that really made you laugh." Zola zoomed in on the projection of the part of the forest, and the receptionists who Laura thought were No-Majs were still there, surrounded by people in white protective suits overhaul.Zola said: "Ford always felt that it was up to them to awaken themselves, but his awakening process caused the receptionists in the park to often have some weird malfunctions."

Steve repeated, "Awakened?"

"Yes, awakening. I can create a world, I can create humanoid life, but there is always a problem that bothers me... That is, where does the soul of the living body come from? If only relying on machines to set memories, it seems to be the same as The robot is almost there... What I want is not a robot, what I want is life, eternal life..."

"So, you're also pursuing immortality," Laura said.

"Ah, immortality, isn't this a fascinating topic?" Zora laughed, and she stared at Laura fascinated: "I have done many experiments, and human life is too fragile and small... Even a wizard, No matter how strong the magic power is, it can only last for a hundred years. As for magic - look at the European continent, whether it is the pursuit of the Deathly Hallows, Horcrux or the Philosopher's Stone, the ending is not what I want. Voldemort and Flamel - the so-called evil and justice Different routes lead to the same goal, and they all toss themselves into that inelegant look. That is not what I want. I want to use the most perfect body to house my soul."

Zola's devouring eyes reminded Laura of a case in Williamsburg that Mr. Smulders had mentioned long, long ago.She said, "You want my body? But I'm not perfect."

"No, no, no." Zola shook her head, "You mean those two wizards in Louisiana? Their methods are too stupid, they have to change their bodies every few decades, what a fool. Even the Asgardians have only a thousand years, but what I want is eternal life."

"Then I'm afraid I can't help you with that." Laura said, "Contrary to you, I think it is death that gives meaning to life, and the bravest part of human beings is the ability to face up to the fact that one day they will die." ending."

"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly, it's because you haven't seen the charm of eternity." Zola said, "Continuing the topic I just said, where did I just talk? - Well, since you all know my father, Then I will introduce it first, because he is the No.1 of this project. My father turned his thinking into an algorithm and successfully stored it in the computer. The computer at that time was really clumsy... Of course it doesn't need to be so troublesome now , I can store myself in the Internet. My original idea is that even if I can’t unlock the secret of the soul, I can still connect all the artificial people I created and use this method to exist forever. At that time, I can be in I can be nothingness anywhere. (Note ①)”

Steve pressed, "Now? What new ideas do you have?"

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it here. I know you're wondering why I've brought you here, Laura, may I call you Laura?—I'm sure we'll be very good friends."

Laura snorted and said, "I doubt it very much."

Zora didn't mind, she just laughed and went on: "Laura, my friend,
