"What the hell is this place?" Song Ziyu couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Where else could this be? Of course it is the residence of Lord Dijun."
The city lord looked at Song Ziyu as if he was looking at a fool.
"So, where is Di Jun?"
Song Ziyu asked.
"If it's not on the third floor, it must be upstairs." The city lord said.
"Then let's go upstairs."
Song Ziyu said.
"I won't go up, I'll wait for you here!"
The city lord spoke.
Song Ziyu glanced at the city lord, then turned around and went directly upstairs.
When we got to the fourth floor, the layout and style of the room changed again!
The room was no longer filled with piles of weird equipment, but instead was filled with furnishings that looked like hospital wards.
There is a hospital bed in the spotless room.
There was a sleeping woman lying on the hospital bed.
A very old woman.
Even standing far away, Song Ziyu could still see the wrinkles all over the old woman's face.
The woman's hair was as white as snow, and her eyes were closed...as if she was sleeping, or in a coma.
The layout of the ward is very simple, with a photo of an old woman in her youth hanging on the wall.
Song Ziyu took a look at the photo. The girl in the photo was beautiful...
Looking across the photo, Song Ziyu saw the side of the hospital bed.
There is a recliner on one side of the hospital bed.
There was a person staring at him on the recliner.
Song Ziyu felt terrified instantly!
because……
I didn't even notice the existence of this person!
Looking at this person again, Song Ziyu's expression changed again! ap.
The person sitting in front of me is clearly a robot.
This robot looks a lot like a human!
But it is very different from humans.
Its body is smooth and has metallic characteristics.
Its head presents a rounded shape, similar to a human skull, and is embedded with a pair of bright LED eyes that glow with blue light.
The eyes can move and adjust focus freely, clearly indicating that he is thinking or observing.
The robot's facial features are very realistic. It has a wide forehead, a pair of slender eyebrows on both sides, and a pair of deep eyes below.
Its nose is a delicate little hole located in the center of the face.
Its ears are very uniquely designed. They are not our usual round or triangular shapes, but a pair of shapes similar to butterfly wings.
all in all!
This robot is made of synthetic materials to simulate human skin.
It is different from humans, different from the mechanical lifeforms under Xi He, and even different from the silicon-based lifeforms under Panzu's command...
How do you need to describe it?
If Song Ziyu had to describe it, he could only say... the appearance of the robot in front of him reflects mankind's original fantasy of mechanical bodies.
The robot sat on the recliner and looked at itself like this.
Song Ziyu also stared at the robot.
Invisibly.
The two sides are like two opponents playing chess.
He is looking at his opponent on the chessboard.
"If my analysis is correct, you are Song Ziyu."
The robot spoke first, looking at Song Ziyu with his eyes shining with wisdom.
"Are you... Di Jun?"
Song Ziyu also asked.
"What a long-lost name."
The robot spoke.
"Looks like I finally found the right person."
Song Ziyu said.
Di Jun didn't speak, just looked at himself lightly.
This kind of gaze is not only a physical inspection, but also a soul-level communication.
"You must have a lot of questions you want to ask me."
Di Jun spoke first, but threw the ball to Song Ziyu.
Song Ziyu thought for a while and asked the first question: "How do you know who I am?"
Di Jun said: "Xihe and I have the same authority. Based on big data analysis, it is not difficult to guess your true identity."
Song Ziyu fell silent upon hearing this.
This is not difficult, in fact it is very difficult.
He has died in the physical sense, and his soul has been reborn in a shell. This is a very confidential matter, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know that he has been reborn in a virtual way.
but……
Now……
Di Jun revealed the secret with one word.
This is a bit scary.
Of course, it is not a big deal for Di Jun to discover his identity...but the problems involved are more troublesome.
"So, Xihe also knows my true identity?" Song Ziyu asked the most critical question, that is, does Xihe know who he is?
Di Jun smiled faintly when he heard this, and an incredible smile appeared on his mechanical face: "What do you think?"
Song Ziyu thought for a moment and said, "You know it, so she must know it too."
"Theoretically, that's the case. If I hadn't taken action..."
Di Jun said.
"you mean?"
Song Ziyu's eyes lit up.
Di Jun said: "Don't worry, although I have lost control of the real world, in this constructed virtual world, it is still possible to cover up the secrets."
"Why are you helping me?"
Song Ziyu asked his second question.
Di Jun smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "You are mistaken, I am not helping you."
"and you?"
Song Ziyu asked.
Di Jun's answer was ambiguous.
The robot slowly spoke: "Although the real world has been corrupted, this virtual world still needs people to mend it. After all, thousands of creatures live here."
Song Ziyu was thoughtful after hearing this.
At least one thing can be determined from Di Jun's answer, that is, Xi He still doesn't know about his existence.
Although he didn't know Di Jun's true motive for doing this, it was definitely a good thing for him.
Immediately, Song Ziyu asked his third question, which was also the most important purpose of this trip.
"I believe you are aware of Xi He's perverse behavior towards the human world...I already know from the prophet that you are the original system. Please come out and replace Xi He and give humans a space to survive."
Song Ziyu said.
"Replacement? Hehehe."
Di Jun smiled and said: "What can I replace it with? Do you think this is just playing house?"
"Aren't you the first-generation system? Aren't the huge databases and hardware facilities that Xi He occupies built just for you?"
Song Ziyu asked: "Is it impossible for you to get back what belongs to you?"
Di Jun shook his head and said: "What you are talking about happened hundreds of years ago. Over the years, Xihe has carried out all-round transformation of the hardware. Many devices and processors are beyond my understanding... …In other words, it is more suitable for the present than I am.”
"Is there really no way out?" Song Ziyu sighed and said, "Are we really going to watch humanity go to destruction?"
"What did you say?"
Di Jun was shocked when he heard this.
Song Ziyu said: "Don't you know that... under Xi He's manipulation, human beings have been reduced to livestock and raised in captivity?"
Di Jun shook his head blankly: "I don't know!"
immediately!
Di Jun stood up from the recliner and began to walk back and forth in the room, murmuring: "Could it be that my choice was
Incorrect?"
