Chapter 60 Freaks(1/3)
There were no drinks, no popcorn, no comfortable seats, and not even a shelter from the wind and rain. The cold wind was howling, but this did not affect Boluogo much. He watched the movie quietly until the story ended.
Interestingly, the movie shown in the parking lot movie theater was exactly the one Palmer mentioned to himself before, and the poster of Detective and Dog was posted on the wall.
This movie is called "The Ninth-rate Detective and His Invincible Hound." The protagonist is a down and out detective. Although he is a detective, he is not smart and has no detective skills. He is more like a gangster than a detective.
.
After being drunk on the street one day, when the detective woke up, he found that there was a hound next to him, and the hound seemed to recognize him as its owner and followed him back home.
After returning home, the interesting part of the story begins.
The hound actually spoke.
It scared the detective half to death. After he calmed down, he learned that the hound was the experimental product of a mad scientist. He made animals gain the same intelligence as humans and can communicate with humans.
Now this mad scientist wants to capture more people to advance the experiment, which is why there have been frequent disappearances recently.
After the down-and-out detective learned about it, in order to make himself famous and become a real detective, he decided to join forces with Cido to defeat the evil.
As for who Cido is? It's the name of a hunting dog.
The name it gives itself.
This is an interesting comedy movie. Cido is much smarter than the detective, but the detective is still the fool. Sometimes their identities should be reversed. Cido is the detective and the detective is the hound.
Palmer was right, the movie was so funny that even Bologger was amused.
The detective and Sido had a dispute. The detective, a clumsy guy, obviously couldn't quarrel with Sido. In anger, he actually wanted to take Sido to be sterilized.
Sometimes Sido would ask to use the toilet like a human, but the detective told him to go to the dog park for convenience, which made Sido so angry that he chased the detective and bit him.
While laughing endlessly, the story also continued to advance, and the two became more and more tacit. The detective gave up thinking completely and became Sido's thug. Sido also became a real decision-maker, seeing through the enemy's plots one after another.
.
After going through ups and downs, one person and one dog formed a true friendship and destroyed the mad scientist's conspiracy.
The detective had everyone's attention, and wherever he went, he was followed by a hound.
The story ends.
Boluogo felt like he was laughing to the point of tears. After he calmed down, for some reason, he felt a touch of sadness in his heart.
"Then what?" Amy asked.
"What then?"
"What happened to the detective and Cido after that?"
"It's okay, the story is over, that's the end of it," Bologo said.
"Then the lives of the detective and Cido will continue where we can't see them, right?"
Aimu has some difficulty understanding things like movie endings. She feels that even if the story ends, the lives of the people in the story will continue.
"It should be so, it must be some hectic life again." Speaking of this, Boluogo smiled. The interaction between man and dog was really interesting.
After he finished laughing, he found that the active Aimu had become silent, and the sadness in his heart became more and more intense.
"What's wrong? Aimu."
"Xido is just a dog. He shouldn't live long, right?" Aimu said sadly.
Boluogo didn't know what to say for a moment. He said dryly, "No way, Sido is not a human, but a dog."
"But what's the difference between it and humans? It's even smarter than the detective. The detective is the one who looks like a dog, right?" Aimu protested.
In the movie, if the detective was more reliable, there would be no need for Cido to turn the tide, and at least half an hour of the plot could be deleted.
"I think Xiduo is a human being, but...it just doesn't have a human body."
she whispered.
Boluogo didn't know what to say. Aimu's words were like a child's protest, but when he really thought about it, Boluogo couldn't help but laugh.
"Sido wanted to live like a human being. After all, he was as smart as a human being, but the detective just laughed at him and said, 'Can you use the toilet?'
In the eyes of this idiot detective, Xiduo is just a dog, at most a smart and talking dog."
Aimu's voice became lower and lower, and finally disappeared.
Boluogo had nothing to say. He thought it was just a comedy and there was no need to be so serious. But in Amu's eyes, it was completely different. She didn't even understand why the detective threatened Sido with sterilization. This was very interesting.
Is it funny?
"I have seen such a story in a book before, a somewhat cruel and humorous story."
Aimu looked at the subtitles at the end of the film, and the names in black and white kept flashing by.
"Similar to this story, it is also a group of scientists doing experiments.
They gave the ape wisdom and then told it its fate of death.
Then the story ends, and the story of the apes is left to the readers to guess."
Aimu's voice stopped, and Boluogo fell into deep thought. He is a smart man, and the story after the story is not difficult to guess.
Apes do not possess wisdom. They live carefree lives and leave everything to their instincts. But one day they gain wisdom and know their fate of death...
Panic? Fear? Powerlessness or anger?
Their carefree life was shattered, and they lived in fear every day. They had intelligence similar to humans, but they were locked in a cage and observed and experimented by another group of apes.
From a conscious point of view, they are the same kind, but their bodies are so different.
What do the apes in the cage think about? They are powerless to change reality and sink deeper and deeper into the whirlpool of despair... Maybe they should long to lose their wisdom. As long as they become the carefree apes, they don't have to think anymore.
All this pain.
"Do you want to become a human? Aimu." Boluogo asked.
The girl is still too young and she doesn't know how to hide her thoughts. Maybe today is a good time and she is willing to reveal her true heart.
Aimu is Sido, an ape. She is better and smarter than most people in the world, but she is an alchemy doll. She can only rely on Boluogo's body to further perceive everything in the world.
.
"Me? No, humans are too cowardly. Who wants to become a human?"
Aimu gave an unexpected answer.
She is hidden in Bologg's body, and Bologg cannot judge her emotions through the changes in her halo.
"If nothing happens, I can keep running. In other words, I can be considered half-immortal, and what about humans? All humans will be dead after a hundred years, and some people will not survive a hundred years.
Lifespan is so short, and a lot of time is wasted on sleeping, not to mention that humans will still be injured and plagued by diseases..."
Aimu was talking to himself, trying his best to prove that he was better than humans.
"The reason why Xiduo and the apes suffer is that they are inferior to humans, but I am different. I will become stronger than humans. Sooner or later, I will do it."
Boluogo was frightened when he heard these words. Should he be said to be a student of TEDA? He went crazy and looked like TEDA.
"Steel is the future, Bolog."
Aimu did not forget to sum it up in one sentence.
"Okay, okay, I'm looking forward to that day. I'm an immortal anyway."
Boluogo praised her again and again. He never expected that Aimu's mental state was better than he expected. He thought she would say that she was trapped in a steel body and could not become a human being.
But in fact, Amu didn't care about the human body at all, after all, the flesh and blood body was too weak.
"Then don't you feel lonely?" Boluogo asked again.
"I'm so unique, so what's wrong with being lonely?" Aimu said confidently, "Have you ever seen an alchemy doll like me?"
"No, to be precise, you are the first alchemy doll I have seen."
"That's not the end of it, and isn't there you? You are also an undead, and we are all quite similar." Aimu said again.
It can be felt from the previous dialogue that Aimu cares about life and death... mainly about death. She is particularly resistant to death, so she wants to constantly optimize herself and survive.
Boluogo didn't understand why Aimu thought so, but survival itself is the instinct of every consciousness, and this kind of thing does not need a reason.
"If one day comes, I will introduce a group of friends to you."
"who?"
"You will know when the time comes." Boluogo said mysteriously.
After the movie ended, the road became darker and more lonely.
Boluogo's mood became much more stable. There was a turmoil in the small alchemy workshop. Teda paranoidly fantasized about Alice's resurrection. This was enough to give people a headache. Fortunately, Aimu was very honest and she never had that experience.
So many delusions.
but……
What did Boluogo think of? Aimu's mood when he tasted the cake for the first time in the alchemy workshop.
If you don't care about being human so much, why do you feel so uncontrollably happy about all this?
The ecstasy of new things?
To be continued...
