Chapter 27 Head Level
The giant tower plan? We live in huge towers.
"It's fake." Xu Yang said subconsciously, "The language we know is like this from the beginning. We have been using the same language since a long time ago."
"Is it possible? In this vast world, everyone speaks the same language, is it possible?" Cui Junyou said.
"Then how can you prove it?" Xu Yang shook his head, "You said that we have special implants on our bodies. You are a professional prosthetic doctor. Why have you never detected this kind of thing from a patient."
"Because of the company's conspiracy," Cui Junyou gritted his teeth, "they hid the most critical things in the blind spot of our vision. If we are too stupid to admit this kind of thing, wouldn't it be too stupid!"
"This……"
"Actually, the kind of thing you just said is possible," Farosa said.
"Huh?" Xu Yang never expected that Farosa would express an opinion on this.
How could an ancient witch come up with a new take on a new age conspiracy theory?
"It's strange," said Farosa, "perhaps it's because the myths have been broken that make you think so. Long ago, people would never have been so confused, because everyone knew that the tower was real. of."
"you mean……"
"God exists," Farosa said, "everyone knows the tower of God. In the ancient past, human beings were indeed divided into many different tribes, with different accents, and God chose some of his favorites. The tribe chose their languages, mixed them to make the languages unify, and sent messengers, the so-called messengers of the gods, that is, witches. , people can speak the same language and use the same script.”
It is no wonder that Farosa, as a character from a thousand years ago, can communicate with us without barriers as soon as she opens her eyes.
"What is the purpose?" Xu Yang asked.
"It's for the purpose of building the tower," said Farosa. "God wants people to unite and build a tower on the ground, so that people can go through the tower to the sky every now and then to see the god himself. So, you are nervous and afraid. It is actually the result of divine power."
"Nonsense," Cui Junyou said, "there is no 'god' at all! Then where is the giant tower you speak of?"
"It's weird," Niedlet said. "There are so many rats out there, and you're still talking about it. It's amazing."
"I don't want to waste any more time on this." Xu Yang ended the endless arguments and set off to leave.
Survival is the first!
He scanned his surroundings with his digital mind, only to find a source trying to send him a message.
Um? Who would message me at a time like this?
Xu Yang filtered the information that the other party sent, the content was very small, only two short words.
"Help"
The signal source is very close, Xu Yang can tell that just a few steps away, in this narrow room, someone is desperately asking him for help!
Who is it?
Such a paradox made him feel strange.
Must find out.
Xu Yang observed everyone's expressions, Cui Junyou was annoyed, Ye Ye was dazed, Farosa was calm, and although Niederte couldn't see his face clearly, it didn't look like he was asking for help.
Not only that, Niederte also waved to Xu Yang, and he even wore thick gloves under his sleeves.
"This is a three-string-two-adrenal inhibitor," Niederte said to Xu Yang with a packet of oral liquid. "It can improve the symptoms of implant disorders and prevent them from getting worse."
"Thank you." Xu Yang took the oral liquid, it has a good packaging and production date, the other party really wanted to help, and made him look at it with admiration.
"It's a kind person." Ye Ye said happily.
"It's nothing," Niedlet said. "Xu is very rich, and even without me, he can find a lot of ways to care for him."
After confirming that the distress signal was not sent by anyone in front of him, Xu Yang asked them to go first and wandered around the prosthetic shop for a while.
This feels so scary, is there really a cyber ghost? Message people?
Because of the incompetence, Xu Yang only knew that the signal source was extremely close, but could not confirm the location.
Xu Yang traced the sender and analyzed its identification code.
Even weirder.
He had never seen such a string of codes.
Xu Yang has worked as an engineer for many years. Any power grid, traps, gun towers, mine explosions, doors, cameras, household appliances, and vehicles have their own group codes, and there are always traces to follow.
But now, on the device he was tracking, the coded information was like a wordless book, and there were no rules at all.
"Old Cui," Xu Yang asked him while strolling in the prosthetic clinic, "Is there something in your place that you can send out on your own initiative?"
"What is it, I don't know." Cui Junyou put the last bit of valuables into the box, and then carried it on his back, "I'm leaving, let's go."
"...I'll look for it again."
Xu Yang kept searching for this extremely mysterious ghost signal.
If the other party was asking me for help, but I just walked away, wouldn't I put the other party in danger?
He walked around the clinic three or four times, constantly searching for the source of the signal, and finally stopped at a dirty shelf in the extreme corner of the clinic.
Make sure the signal source is here.
Waste implants, eyeballs, male prostheses... Xu Yang groped for things on the shelves, and finally felt something soft and silky.
hair.
Xu Yang's hand touched down, eyes, nose...
He was stunned.
Human head of a woman.
Only the left half of the face is human flesh, covered with dust, and the right half is a broken metal face. Likewise, the left eye is the eyeball, and the right eye is the circular camera.
This ugly metal face gave Xu Yang a miserable smile and made a weak electronic sound like a mosquito.
"……Help……"
To live in the modern age, you must have a strong heart, and there are always things beyond cognition waiting.
"Old Cui?" Xu Yang managed to stand firm and called softly.
"Come on." Cui Junyou let out a lazily sympathetic voice.
Xu Yang heard the sound of him slowly shuffling his footsteps, and hoped that he would move faster.
It's... so weird.
Xu Yang held his breath and observed the half-metal head in front of him.
Probably because it was left in a corner for a long time, the face was covered with dust, but the muscles on the face did not have decayed maggots. It was probably not a real face, but a simulated cortex made of synthetic materials.
Xu Yang looked down, looking for the part where the head connects to the neck. It was too dark to see neither the spine nor the wires.
The sad-looking head can't make any sound anymore. Maybe the action just now has exhausted all its power, or has it exhausted its strength? Xu Yang couldn't tell.
Cui Junyou kept walking, came to the shelf in the same row as Xu Yang, got in sideways, and tried his best to avoid touching the sundries.
"What have you found? This place is full of things I don't use," he said.
"This." Xu Yang pointed at the head in front of him.
Cui Junyou took out his mobile phone and used the light of the mobile phone to take a picture. Only then did Xu Yang see her face more clearly. It was about the appearance of a blond northern woman. Judging from the remaining half of her face, she was still quite beautiful, but now there is only one left. head.
"Oh, the rare parts collected." Cui Junyou said, "It cost a lot of money. I wanted to take it apart and look at it, but I didn't have time."
"Parts? This is obviously alive!"
"Alive, dead, there are too many things that are half-lived and half-dead these days, who can tell, there is a conspiracy of the company behind this!"
"Put the company things aside and tell me about 'it' first."
"Well, it was on the 'convenient to buy' platform, and the auction was going on. My business was good, five years ago." Cui Junyou recalled.
Easy Buy is a very well-known online shopping platform, which has experienced a slight decline in recent years.
"go on."
"It took about 1.5 million to buy it. It's a scrapped battle witch."
"Remodeled witch?"
"Yes, the whole body prosthetic transformation has been in service for many years, and finally scrapped, so the body parts are separated and sold, and there will be a few pieces such as head, chest, waist, hands, feet, legs, etc. I thought the head was the most valuable, but later I found out that the chest and crotch are the most valuable. I thought those two pieces were useless, so I didn’t buy them. The price of the head is not high. You see, this face is already artificial, and half of it is metal , Ugly to death, has no collectible value, no one bids at all, I bought it after two rounds of shooting."
Xu Yang silently picked up the witch's head, her expression remained unchanged, as if the call for help just now was just an illusion.
It must have been her calling me for help from the dark shelf.
Is this her first call for help? Or the many calls for help that have been ignored before.
Just hearing the experience of this broken witch made Xu Yang feel deeply.
First, it was repeatedly remodeled, then split and sold, and lived in the depths of the prosthetic clinic in Aizu City, where she lived for five years without anyone knowing, and then she used the last bit of strength to convey the distress signal to me... How big is it to her? hardships!
Such desperate thoughts of survival cannot be ignored.
"She is still alive." Xu Yang said, "She asked for my help."
"Xiba, it's so fucking weird." Cui Junyou said, "You want to protect this dead head?"
"I'll give you 2 million, sell it to me."
"Don't charge you, you have given me too much before," Cui Junyou looked at the witch's head carefully, "Since you have established the Lijia Robot Hypermarket, maybe you can pull out her thinking chip and put it on a robot."
"Perhaps." Xu Yang then analyzed, "If she has undergone enough prosthetic transformation, her chip should be able to adapt to the robot's intelligent control module, otherwise it will not be able to control her original mechanized body."
If this mechanical witch is resurrected, she might be able to help us. If Cui Junyou is right, she used to be a war witch who has served for many years, and she should have excellent combat literacy and experience.
If we can successfully resurrect such a witch and invite her to join us, it will be very convenient no matter what we do in the future.
Holding the witch's head and walking out, Xu Yang looked up and saw Farosa, the weight of the head seemed to be much heavier.
"What is that?" Farosa's face changed suddenly, "Zombie?"
"In a sense, she is also a witch, your compatriot." Xu Yang whispered, "She needs our help."
"No, this thing is also worthy of being called a witch?" Farosa was disdainful, "I announced that she would be expelled from the ranks of witches."
Xu Yang didn't know how to explain for a while.
One is a mechanical witch who has been completely transformed into a body, and now there is only one head left. The other is a "pure" witch who has been sleeping since a thousand years ago, and believes that witches are superior.
Is there any way I can make Farosa understand all this?
