Chapter 9 The Mysterious Source(1/2)
Xiao Xiao was thinking about all this. When he was lying on the bed, Yang Jia, who had just returned home, was sitting silently on the sofa, with an unforgettable solemn expression.
After hesitating for a while, she still called.
The signal quickly arrived at the center of the city in a lightning-like way, where there was a building with a tallest building with more than a hundred floors but no billboards or decorations.
On the top floor, it was quiet and there was no one, only precision instruments and dazzling lines, which were closely connected in the glass cylinder in the middle.
In the glass jar, among the dark green liquid is a brain. The human brain has no protection and only connects many lines to it.
Yang Jia's phone was picked up by an instrument outside the glass cylinder, and her voice echoed in this room with only cold machines, complex lines, and a brain:
"I contacted that newcomer today and helped him see the truth of this world..."
“…”
The cold electronic sound unexpectedly had a gentle meaning: "I don't know if I should be glad that we had another companion, or if I sympathized with another person and fell into a nightmare!"
"This new guy is strange."
Yang Jia slowly kneaded his temples and whispered: "He is calm and decisive, has strong analytical skills and courage to fight malice, but he has not reached the level of ruthlessness."
"It can be said that this is the first time I have seen such a potential guy in so many years."
"But equally, there are things in him that I can't see through."
“…”
After pausing, she whispered: "It is obvious that what he did is very reasonable when looking back, but it always makes people surprised."
"So, I hope you can investigate him."
“…”
The gentle electronic sound was silent for a while and said, "I'll try."
Yang Jia whispered: "Thank you."
Then he stopped talking and just waited patiently.
In the room full of machinery and complex circuits, the quiet brain seemed to tremble slightly on the surface, and there were a trace of tiny electric flowers wrapped around it. The faint electric flowers triggered a strong reaction between the surrounding machinery, and even some cables churned like pythons. Countless screens were filled with garbled codes, and huge servers were in an overload form, running wildly.
There seemed to be some kind of microwave that began to stimulate the city.
The huge and magnificent city foundation is trembling in a way that ordinary people cannot perceive, emitting strange signals, intertwining into a scattered network.
Yang Jia could also feel this vibration. She held the phone, motionless, and waited patiently.
After a long time, the vibration disappeared, and the gentle electronic sound rang at the other end of the phone:
"I have visited all his information about this city, and it went well, without any trace of being blocked or tampered with it."
"From this information, he probably hasn't intersected with the world as a foreigner, nor does he seem to be remotely replaced or controlled by some kind of will."
"So, my answer is that at least on the surface, he is a newcomer who just woke up."
"but……"
The sound paused for a while, and the machine faintly made a roar of high speed, and then he said: "Four years ago, he had gone to the hospital for a check-up due to a strong mental illness."
"Four years ago?"
Yang Jia frowned and said, "What are the symptoms?"
"According to its self-described it as dizziness, headache, auditory hallucination, vision, sensory disorders, intense depression and huge depression..."
"...but the final inspection results show that everything is normal."
“…”
Yang Jia's expression suddenly became serious and she sat upright: "This seems to be a daze affected by the mysterious source."
"Yes."
The electronic sound has no syllable undulations: "Those mysterious sources that peek at the city will indeed seize certain individual wills in the city through the influence of space for some reason."
"But he is different. You and I understand that no individual can still maintain the integrity and rationality of his self-form under the influence of the mysterious source."
“…”
Yang Jia was nervous, her brows frowned even tighter, but her tense muscles were slowly relaxing: "Yes..."
"If he was really affected by the mysterious source, a person who had been affected for four consecutive years..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Not to mention whether there will be any distortions or something, the painful substances in his body may be able to flood the entire city, right?"
“…”
“This is impossible.”
Electronic Music also came to his conclusion: "So, I think he is a clean individual."
"From the perspective of his closure and residence in this city, it is not an isolated case, or even a lot of it."
“Often, people just think that this behavior is more depraved.”
"most……"
Speaking of this, even the extremely rational and stable electronic sound was slightly stuck and chose a very humane word:
"A little sick?"
“…”
Yang Jia nodded, looking a little sad in the mist. After a long time, he whispered: "No matter what, the potential he showed is huge, and we have no other choice..."
"I just hope that when he understands the truth in the future, he won't blame me..."
“…”
The next day, Xiao Xiao got up very early.
He didn't know why, but he actually slept surprisingly peacefully yesterday.
In the past four years, he had headaches from time to time, and his whole head seemed to be soaked in pain and fear all year round. Yesterday, he learned the truth of this world and fear reached its limit.
But under such circumstances, I suddenly calmed down, as if I had the courage to face it calmly.
At this time, my mother had already gotten up and was making breakfast in the kitchen.
Xiao Xiao didn't want to meet her, so even though he woke up, he just sat on the bed and waited for the movement in the living room to disappear.
At about 8:30, the time when the yard door opened and closed sounded outside. My mother had already gone to work, and Xiao Xiao walked out of the room.
But unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the living room, I saw the food left on the table, as well as notes and banknotes pressed down with a box of milk.
"Boy, I'm going to work."
"There is no need to pay for a partner. Don't be too stingy when dating such a beautiful girl."
“…”
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment.
She misunderstood her relationship with Yang Jia, and considered that she had no money when she was not at work, so she gave herself pocket money?
A strange feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.
What's this?
After signing a contract with the city, the city and the people living in the city began to show kindness to themselves?
Or is the feelings revealed by my mother?
Just now, I felt that there would be nothing unexpected again, but this note and two banknotes made him feel complicated.
After a long silence, he sat down, ate breakfast, and collected the notes and pocket money.
After breakfast, I just sat quietly at home. Now I am ready to face everything, but unexpectedly I found that I didn’t seem to be in a hurry to face it.
Yang Jia didn't say much yesterday, but just took herself to see the truth about the city.
She said there would be a special person to be responsible for guiding herself, but who is this person and what should she do?
Just as I was thinking about this question, the phone rang at the right time.
"How did you sleep yesterday?"
Yang Jia's voice still seemed so calm, with a little lazy feeling, and seemed out of place with this world.
Xiao Xiao answered honestly: "Very good, very down-to-earth."
"very good?"
Yang Jia was somewhat surprised. After the newcomers who were moving forward realized the truth of the world, they were in panic all day long. Some called themselves all night, and some committed suicide that night.
Xiao Xiao’s answer is actually “very good”?
"right."
Xiao Xiao replied softly: "Didn't you tell me? In such a city full of monsters, what can I do except peace of mind?"
Yang Jia didn't know what to say. After a while, she smiled and said, "You are really a very persuasive person."
Xiao Xiao didn't know how to answer these words.
