"Yes, it's not that far away. You can make a wish for a peaceful life after the mission is completed, hold Raphael's hand, fly away, and start your secluded life in a place where no one can find it, where there are green trees. Green green, the sun is just right, man and nature live in harmony. How can I sing a song?"
The kitchen is covered with a layer of gray. On the black lines, a white-haired film wags its tail and dances to the music of ancient classics.
"The birds on the trees are in pairs, and the green water and green mountains bring smiles~"
Valentin took off the plastic gloves on his hands, turned around, grabbed Jiao Zhengyu's tail, and pulled hard.
"What the hell are you singing about!"
"How can a life without electricity and the Internet be called a peaceful life? That would be hell!" Valentin yelled.
A roar comparable to an air raid siren rushed into his ears, shaking Valentine's eardrums crazily. A few flashes of lightning flashed across his body and head, and he used Originium skills to protect his hearing.
"I thought you didn't feel pain." Valentine let go of Jiao Zhengyu's tail and clapped his hands. The hair on the tail is very short, feels good to the touch, and the temperature is relatively high, just enough to warm the hands that have just washed the dishes.
"In order to better experience human life, shouldn't I do something more comprehensive?" Jiao Zhengyu sat on the ground and gently stroked his tail with his hands, and kept blowing on the place that Valentin had just held, as if It really hurts so much.
His face turned red.
"But you are just a robot." Valentin spread his hands and sat down opposite Jiao Zhengyu with his legs bent, his back against the pool.
There is no such thing as dirty in the spiritual world, not even dust, unless Valentine or Jiao Zhengyu want the dust to exist, just like when Valentine entered the spiritual space for the first time. At that time, he was covered in dust because he subconsciously believed that this was the same space as the outside world.
"Artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence! We are different from those tin cans!" Jiao Zhengyu rubbed his tail hard and loosened it. The white tail swung behind him, making Valentine want to pinch it again.
"Do you know how much I spent to build a brain similar to that of a human being? In this universe where almost everyone has spiritual ascension and mechanical sublimation, it is not easy to get the organs of such a backward carbon-based creature!"
Jiao Zhengyu's voice was still filled with strong emotions, and he seemed to still be angry with Valentine.
"You can exist physically in the real world, so why do you need a cumbersome body?"
"That kind of body was constructed directly by me using molecules. It does not have the function of thinking. The organs in the body are just for show. The brain is still my own processor."
He wanted to experience what it was like to be a real human being, thinking with a brain instead of an artificial processor.
"Ah...then the world of Terra isn't everywhere? Can't you just find one?" Valentin felt that this guy's CPU should be upgraded.
"Without orders from above, we cannot kill any life. Have you forgotten the three principles of robots?" Jiao Zhengyu knocked Valentin on the head.
"This kind of tactile feedback is really real... although it feels the same as in the artificial intelligence state."
"Last time you said you were going to build an artificial soul, and now you're building an artificial brain... How much did you spend?"
Valentine put his hand on Jiao Zhengyu's head and rubbed it hard. It felt the same as before.
It's furry, a little hard, and prickly.
"A source stone."
"...profiteer." Valentine's hand almost couldn't help but tear off Jiao Zhengyu's ear.
Can a source stone be exchanged for an artificial brain? Or the one that can be used normally? And I can only exchange the gaming ability for a few hours or a few days?
I suddenly want to hit someone.
"Then what about the bones, skin, muscles, etc. on your body?"
"Buy the gift from the brain."
Valentine waved his hand.
"Come on, profiteer, either you die or you die today!"
The Blade Angel appeared behind Valentine with enough light to blind everything. The dark blue flying dragon was hovering above him. The blue current complemented the golden holy light below. Valentine held a long sword in his hand. The sword looks as cool as the final BOSS.
However, Jiao Zhengyu just snapped his fingers and all the special effects blessed by Valentine were wiped out without a trace.
"This is the deal. The Origin Stone in the Terra world is a rare item that has never been seen in other universes. In addition, the Origin Stone is very beautiful, so it is normal for it to be sold at such a high price."
"Then you can't sell me my abilities cheaper?" Without the blinding special effect, Valentine still spoke forcefully, and the artificial intelligence wouldn't be angry anyway.
"No, for the sake of balance."
"What if you wipe out the integration movement as soon as you come up? My chance to make extra money is gone."
"You are so honest." Valentine pointed his middle finger at him and sat back angrily.
"The funds given by the superiors are not enough, so we have no choice but to do this. Speaking of which, our actions have also promoted the circulation of wealth in the universe, which is worthy of praise."
Valentin felt that the thickness of Jiao Zhengyu's skin at this moment definitely exceeded the diameter of a star.
"So what about the proposal I just made?"
After talking nonsense for a while, Jiao Zhengyu brought the topic back on track. Every time they chat alone, they always go off topic, and they end up chatting for a chapter...
"Not good."
Valentine's answer was straightforward.
"But you yearn for this kind of life very much in your heart." Jiao Zhengyu poked his chest.
"You spent a third of the time we were talking imagining what it would be like to live with Raphael."
"So it's enough to think about it, but it still can't be done in reality." Valentin pushed away Jiao Zhengyu's hand that had been poking his body.
"And next time, please become a girl and do this kind of physical contact with me. It's up to the man to accept it or not."
"Bill traveled through time. Bill used his knowledge to save another world. Bill received countless honors, money and a harem. Bill never thought about going back."
"Bill is very smart, learn from Bill."
Jiao Zhengyu used an old trick to persuade Valentine.
"Then Bill was killed by a woman."
Valentine didn't want to address the question head-on.
"Okay." Jiao Zhengyu shrugged. "You need time to change, and the last thing I lack is time. I hope you can always stick to your original intention of going home and don't die on the road to saving the world."
"You know, I have some ability to predict the future."
Jiao Zhengyu stretched out a finger and lightly drew it in front of him, then disappeared.
When the room returned to normal, Valentine was still standing by the sink, holding a plate in his hand. He put the plates away, tidied up the kitchen, and prepared to go downstairs and walk around Rhode Island's residential area.
Maybe you can meet an operator you know.
Raphael was sleeping, which was quite rare. Valentin gently pushed open the door of Xing Yihuang's bedroom and saw her sitting on the bed reading.
"I'm going out for a while. Is there anything I need to bring?"
At such a moment, Valentin seemed to have returned to the pure campus, the beautiful college life.
"No."
"oh……"
Click, the door closed.
While Valentin was changing his shoes, the cell phone issued to him by Rhode Island suddenly vibrated. Valentine picked up the phone and saw an unfamiliar number.
"Who is the one?"
He bent over and lifted his shoes with his right hand, pressed the answer button with his left hand and put the phone to his ear.
When the cold voice sounded, Valentine felt that he was in danger.
"Hello...Dr. Kelsey."
———————Pills Pills Pills————————
Twenty minutes later, Valentine was sitting in a laboratory in the medical department, trembling as he looked at the four women in white coats in front of him.
Kelsey, Warfarin, Gavel, Seria.
Behind them, there was an intern who was busy coming and going. It was the ragdoll cat that talked to Valentine that day.
"The materials are all ready, Director Kelsey." The puppet's voice was still as full of energy as in Valentine's memory.
"Okay Muppet, you can go out and take a rest." Kelsey turned around and looked at Muppet, nodded, and sent her out of the laboratory.
"Goodbye, doctors, please call me if you need anything." The puppet waved to them.
"Goodbye, Valentine."
"Ah, goodbye." Valentine tilted his body in response to the puppet's farewell.
"I hope everything is fine when you come out." The puppet suddenly changed his tone and left the laboratory.
Valentin looked at the four medical experts in front of him and knew what she meant.
"Everyone... if you have anything to say, please tell me directly. It's so annoying to keep staring at me."
"You were injected with the 'key', right?"
Kelsey's words directly put Valentine into a state of confusion. He turned his neck stiffly and looked at Ceria.
"Believe me, I didn't mention it."
Ceria shook her head.
"That's what I guessed."
"One of the pieces of information we have is that you disappeared in Colombia for a long time, and when you reappeared, you had become a powerful medical warlock who could summon the spirit behind you."
"At the same time, we also learned about a Vaifan legend in Sakaz. The Vaifan was excellent in medical magic. He had a pair of blue horns and was a very cute boy."
"So you suspect it's me?" Valentine pointed at himself.
"certainly."
"Then you really...guessed it right." Valentine's momentum suddenly dropped by more than half.
"Have you admitted that you have received the 'Key' injection?" Kelsey glanced at Seria with her peripheral vision.
"right."
Valentine admitted it and didn't hide anything.
"So..." Warfarin rubbed her hands, her red eyes flashing with a terrifying light.
"Can I suck his blood?" He grinned as he spoke, revealing the sharp fangs inside.
Valentine regretted it a little.
"Use a syringe, don't scare the newcomers." Kelsey handed Warfarin a syringe.
"But I'm a little hungry now."
"If you dare take a whiff, I'll let you sleep on the front deck at night."
There was a hint of chill in Kelsey's words.
Looking at Warfarin who was obediently drawing his own blood, Valentin felt that Rhode Island was going too far in this matter. Why do we need four doctors to come here just to draw blood?
As if sensing Valentine's doubts, Kelsey picked up a PAD and opened a white curtain next to her.
Behind the curtain was a large pile of medical equipment that Valentine couldn't name, which made him stunned.
"Calling you here involves more than just drawing blood. We need to conduct a comprehensive physical examination for you, including psychological examination."
"Actually, Gavel was not the psychiatrist when you joined the company, but since she gave you a psychological test, we can only call her here."
What the hell?
Valentin looked at the smiling Gaviel in front of him and felt that his feelings had been deceived.
"I'm reading psychology books. Believe me, I'm absolutely professional." Gavel showed his big white teeth.
"Although I haven't passed the formal examination."
"Then my severe depression..." Valentine suddenly felt that he could still save himself.
"I saw the record of your psychological test, and the conclusion is that there is no problem." Kelsey directly broke Valentine's fantasy with one sentence.
"I'm sorry." Ceria patted his shoulder lightly.
Kelsey had already guessed that Valentin had stayed in Rhine Life, so there was no need for her to hide it.
"You don't need to apologize, Director Ceria... I should call you Doctor Ceria now." Valentin showed an "I'm fine" smile.
"The person who should apologize has made amends to me with her actual actions."
Angelia died at the hands of Valentin, and the murder weapon was a throwing knife.
"And..." Valentin secretly glanced at the three people from Rhode Island who were busy not far away, and lowered his voice.
"You didn't tell them about my ability to conjure weapons out of thin air, did you?"
Ceria shook her head.
She might be able to tell Rhode Island the information about Valentine after he was injected with the "Key", but she would not tell anyone about this completely unreasonable ability.
Otherwise, there is a high possibility that a second Andrea will appear in Rhode Island.
The more authoritative researchers are, the more obsessed they are with unknowns and problems. Ceria doesn't want to see any more children subjected to inhumane experiments.
Although Valentin's real age is older than Ifrit, he is no longer considered a child.
Seeing Ceria's actions, Valentin breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the stone in his heart.
He is not completely at ease about Rhode Island. Who knows what these happy and professional doctors in the game look like in the real world.
And when the person being kidnapped or receiving physical therapy becomes yourself, will you still find them happy?
It just feels scary, right?
He definitely couldn't hide something like this out of thin air, but he couldn't expose it when he first joined Rhode Island. Now he is just a new operator, and in the eyes of Rhode Island's senior officials, he can turn from an operator with great potential into a lamb to be slaughtered at any time.
The facts Dr. Herrington told Valentine made him understand the truth: You can't completely trust anyone unless you live and die together.
Valentine spent the entire morning in this laboratory. The physical examination process was very long, not to mention further psychological tests. Although he resisted questions involving his privacy, Valentin still reluctantly completed all the psychological tests under Gaviel's "friendly persuasion."
"What's the result?" Valentine looked at the four doctors who were looking at the PAD in front of him, eager to know his physical condition.
"The infection in your body is very serious." Kelsey's face looked a little ugly. "And you are an infected person with Originium crystals growing in your body. Using Originium skills for a long time will be more harmful to you than ordinary infected people."
Unreasonable and unexpected.
There are many geniuses with Originium skills in this world who are severely infected with the ore disease. There are really very few non-infected geniuses like Ceria.
"And because you have abused Source Stone skills for a long time, your demand for inhibitors is greater than that of ordinary infected people."
This is true.
"When I was in Chernobog, I used to take one injection a week. Sometimes I would carry one or two emergency injections with me when I went out to fight." Valentin scratched his head.
"Ordinary infected people only need two pills a month to suppress their illness." Kelsey put down the PAD in her hand.
"It seems that there are going to be restrictions on the use of your abilities. If you continue like this, you won't survive for a few years."
"Ah? What if I get injured normally? It would be very troublesome without the Origin Stone skills."
Valentine was somewhat reluctant.
"Is it so difficult to go to the infirmary, get a bandage, take some medicine or something?" Gavel patted Valentin's head.
"Is life more important or saving trouble?"
"Just take a few more inhibitors..." Valentin muttered softly. It was obvious that he had not given up the freedom of being able to use the Origin Stone skills at any time.
"Then in the future you will most likely need to use an inhibitor every day. Abuse of Source Stone skills will only make your condition more serious."
Kelsey directly killed Valentine's thoughts and handed him a black ring.
The ring is overall black with a smooth surface, and there are blue light strips on it. I don't know if it is for decoration. Valentine recognized this thing. Almost all operators in the game wore it.
"The Observer Smart Bracelet is a masterpiece of the Ministry of Industry. It continuously monitors the infection status of mineral disease in the wearer's body around the clock and can be used with the mobile APP."
He had also guessed what the rings worn by the operators were. Like most people, his idea was that they were bracelets for detecting mineral sickness.
I didn't expect this to be the case.
Looking at Valentine who was wearing the bracelet, Gaviar said the rest of the words for Kelsey.
"At the same time, it can also monitor whether the wearer uses Source Stone skills. If you use Source Stone skills at will in the Rhode Island base, this bracelet will suppress the power of Source Stone in your body."
Gavel looked at Valentine who looked deceived and smiled.
"If the Originium Technique is forcibly used, it will also issue a warning to the wearer. If the wearer is still using the Originium Technique after three warnings, it will directly sound an alarm and release an electric current to stun the wearer. However, the Supervision Department's intervention The police will arrive at the place where you fainted within five minutes and give you first aid."
Gavel looked gloating.
"We don't know how those geniuses from the Ministry of Industry came up with such a magical gadget, and it works pretty well. It once stunned double-digit operators."
"Well, I want to quit Rhode Island now. Is there still a chance?"
Valentine thought this place was too scary and he had to run away quickly.
"What do you think?"
Warfarin showed his fangs, Jiavir rolled up his sleeves and picked up the staff, and Kelsey's eyes became extremely sinister.
Among the four doctors, only Ceria was normal, at least she didn't pick up a shield.
But she clenched her fists.
…
"Why do you have such an idea? Rhode Island can provide you with the best treatment plan in the world of Terra."
Although Ceria's voice sounded concerned about Valentin, Valentin only had the scene in his mind of being knocked out by her with one punch.
At this time, Seria has become a traitor to Rhine's life, serving Rhode Island wholeheartedly.
"I was wrong." Valentin lowered his head and admitted his mistake, as obediently as a primary school student.
The high pressure disappeared instantly, and the entire laboratory returned to a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Once on the thief's ship, the thief can escape, and there is no way out.
"But I still want to suck his blood."
A terrifying word suddenly appeared in the pleasant atmosphere.
The entire laboratory fell into silence again.
