In the upper city of Zhongjing, deep inside the temple.
Light particles as fine as dust gathered into a huge and blurry face, emitting a hazy blue light and driving away the darkness.
In the shadow below, Cain sat on the ground, holding his cheek with one hand, staring at the light curtain in front of him, and the slightly stiff voice of Zero floated in his ears:
"...As you can see, the anosmia caused by the 'Eye of the Void' is significantly contagious."
"Close contacts will develop symptoms within five minutes, with symptoms lessening or disappearing after an hour."
"85% of secondary close contacts will develop symptoms within ten to thirty minutes, and symptoms will lessen or disappear after seven hours. The remaining 15% of secondary close contacts will have no symptoms."
"5% of general contacts and 1% of time and space companions will develop mild symptoms, which will lessen or disappear after seventy-two hours."
"A total of four double-blind experiments, all symptomatic subjects reported smelling a 'meat-fat' aroma. After comparative testing, the olfactory experience was close to that of P-heterocyclic compounds and other sulfur-containing components, including furans and pyrrole. Chemical irritation triggered by low molecular weight precursors such as thiophene, imidazole, pyridine and cyclovinyl sulfide."
Along with Zero's statement, the entire experimental process was displayed on the light screen. Thousands of people from the upper city area of different ages, genders, and physical abilities participated in the experiment as subjects, and were subsequently questioned and fully examined in an empty room. .
"So, the smell is not on us, but is transmitted after contact with us," Cain nodded, "What are the consequences of this abnormal sense of smell?"
"So far, none of the subjects have any related lesions in their bodies. The biological theory I currently have cannot explain this phenomenon."
"How come?" Cain looked puzzled, "Don't you know everything?"
"I am a strong artificial intelligence designed and manufactured by Mr. Li Shuang that implements first-order logical reasoning algorithms and abstract concept mapping. It follows the way humans understand the external world, that is, establishing a theoretical system through observation summarization and thought experiments to explain objective reality. The 'science' formed on this basis cannot prove that it is the only explanation of the objective world."
"What's the meaning?"
"Our 'science' is far from revealing the nature of the objective world, and there is a high probability that it is a subjective fallacy caused by the anthropic principle, which cannot be used to clarify the characteristics of the 'Eye of the Void'."
"What about the ten formulas given to Li Shuang by the Time Observer? Didn't they reveal the essence?"
"The formulas provided by time observers involve metrics, conversion relationships for observing physical quantities between different inertial reference systems, the Higgs field, the uncertainty principle, etc., revealing the relationship between macro and micro, and solving a series of micro problems. A difficult physical problem, but still based on explanations given by human 'science'.
Through reverse engineering research on Tifami psychic technology, as well as observation of magic and Taoism, I believe that the actions of the Time Observers are designed to mislead mankind and block or delay mankind's exploration of objective reality. "
"...Okay," Cain stood up, "I got it."
She walked straight out of the "Heart of Xi'an", lowered her head and strolled through the dark and silent temple. She unknowingly walked into a narrow side corridor. When she came to her senses, the heavy metal door in front of her had automatically opened.
There is plenty of greenery outside.
"Huh?" Cain looked back hesitantly, then shrugged and crossed the threshold.
I stood there for a while, but nothing happened.
"uh-huh."
She put her hands in her pockets and wandered into the dense forest, along the plank road to the marble-paved lake shore. When she saw Zero One from a distance, she realized that this was the place where the Eternal One was "imprisoned".
By the lake, Zero One stood at a table that was several meters square, tilting his head to observe the architectural model that occupied the entire table. His blond hair was like a waterfall. Next to him, a bloated man stuck his butt out and carefully stuck a small wooden stick. on top of the model.
It was a model of an ancient bell and drum tower, with bracketed windows and brackets, and double eaves and hanging plaques. It was extremely complicated. Seeing that the construction was coming to an end, the man was sweating profusely and every movement was extremely cautious.
"That's Soft," an old voice sounded from behind. Cain looked back and saw a white-haired but energetic old man approaching slowly.
"Who are you?"
"Han Putnam," the old man smiled.
"The founder of the Putnam clan?" Cain raised an eyebrow, "Li Liang's father-in-law?"
"It used to be." Han Putnam had a pair of blue eyes with soft eyes. "The Li Liang now is not the Li Liang I know. My daughter died a thousand years ago."
Cain looked at Zero One subconsciously.
"She's just an android..." Han Putnam said calmly.
At this time.
Soft finally stuck the last tile into the eaves, took a few steps back, and looked at his masterpiece with intoxication.
next moment.
His expression suddenly turned gloomy, he stepped forward, smashed the exquisite model with one punch, then picked up the oil drum under the table, poured gasoline on the table, lit a cigar, took a few puffs, and Bounces towards model fragments.
boom!
Gasoline exploded and the table collapsed.
Amid Zero One's applause, Soft spread his arms, took a step forward, and was instantly swallowed up by flames.
However, seconds later, he reappeared, unharmed.
Soon, a group of androids moved the table and parts again. Soft arranged his sleeves as if nothing had happened and started building the base again.
Still cautious, still extremely focused.
Cain looked at this scene and was speechless.
"Actually, Li Liang deceived them, including the most loyal Soft," Hampton said with a smile. "They thought they would soon transcend the shackles of the body and master the power to realize all their wishes."
"The results of it?"
"You see, it's just that you can't die." Han Putnam tapped his temple. "The human brain can't store much information, and its logical operation ability is also very poor. Electrochemical reactions often go wrong. Relying on this thing to survive Living eternity, goddamn, is a really bad experience.”
Cain was amused: "Were you also deceived by Li Liang?"
"This is my own choice," Han Putnam looked at Zero-One in the distance. "I have always felt that the Creator exists. Otherwise, why would there be so many coincidences in our universe, just like the model Soft built? , the first time you see it, you know it must be man-made, not natural, so I thought, maybe one day, when the Creator appears, I can really see my daughter again."
Cain narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Yes."
"Thank you," the wrinkles on Han Putnam's face relaxed, and he stared at the lake side by side with Cain, "By the way, if you see Sisen, please tell him that the Putnam family will eventually die, and only science The spirit is eternal, no matter when, no matter where you are, you have to think, keep thinking..."
