"The word "unorth valley" was proposed by est-jentsch in his 1906 paper "Unorth Valley Psychology", and his views were elaborated in Freud's 1919 paper "Unorth Valley", thus becoming a famous theory." Jiang Chen quickly turned the introduction over with some irritation, and then looked for the keyword from the words as big as tadpoles.

"Because we are afraid of death, because we are afraid of disease, because the empathy mechanism is disordered, and because we cannot empathize with robots." Jiang Chen murmured, his hand holding the book trembling slightly.

What's going on with this feeling?

Forced down the restlessness that was surging in his heart, Jiang Chen searched for the answers in this robot magazine that had been in some age.

The library of Wanghai No. 6 Middle School is very large, and the jungle-like bookshelf is listed in the lobby on the first floor. Although students rarely visit the first floor of this book collection. All books can be downloaded on the campus network, and all information can be searched on the terminal. Rather than paper backup of the information, the books here are stored as "exhibitions". Only large libraries at the municipal and district levels will store paper papers or books that record academic materials. Those are the real "data" rather than "exhibitions".

Times are progressing, and paper reading has gradually faded out of people's vision. Although there will be people who have a special liking for paper books like Tao Tingting, these people are already as rare as rare animals.

For example, the goddess in Jiang Chen's heart - Tao Tingting.

However, as a memorial to the old era, libraries often retain some older books and magazines as references to history.

At the same time, Jiang Chen always felt that these papers could give him more inspiration. No matter how he consulted the campus elf of artificial intelligence, the slick guy could not give him a sudden explanation, but just kept guiding his psychological problems towards fatigue, learning pressure and other directions.

Or misleading?

No matter how you search on the terminal, you can't get the answer he wants. It seems to be covered up. The intelligent search assistant unexpectedly "failed". After listening to his description, all the search results given seem to bring the problem to a more complex level.

So when he was out of school, he came to this library full of paper books, where no one would mislead him, and some intuition seemed to tell him that the answer he was eager for was hidden on a bookshelf.

He wanted to find out what the unnatural feeling was?

The book "Robot Magazine No. 21 - About the Discord between Humans and Robots" in Jiang Chen was taken from the bookshelf with a rosin wood smell. Judging from the publication date in 2021, this is also an old historical publication.

Of course, printing is new.

"The higher the simulation of human toys or robots, the more people have a favorable impression, but when a critical point reaches, this favorable feeling will suddenly decrease, and the more people look like, the more disgusting and fear it will be to the bottom of the valley. Even a slight unnatural action will appear extremely stiff and terrifying. That is to say, did the cleaning robot I encountered in the morning trigger the uncanny valley effect by looking at me?" Jiang Chen frowned and thought.

There was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, something similar to a sense of déjà pounding his heart.

The feeling of depression that was like a cotton tucked into his throat became stronger and stronger.

It seems like something has been forgotten.

But what was forgotten?

Suddenly, he subconsciously looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.

But at this moment—

"Jiang Chen?"

A slender and gentle voice touched his eardrums. Jiang Chen turned around in surprise and saw Tao Tingting standing on the other end of the bookshelf.

By the way, I seem to be inviting her to watch a movie. Damn it, in order to get into these boring illusions, I almost forgot about the serious business!

Jiang Chen cursed in his heart, blushing at the beautiful girl as beautiful as a princess, but couldn't say a word.

Tao Tingting stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.

Jiang Chen opened and closed his mouth halfway. However, the sentence "Are you free tomorrow?" was as if he was blocked in his throat.

Suddenly, the beautiful pretty face smiled. The bright eyes like moon buds flashed with heart-pounding brilliance.

"Do you want to come to my house?"

Jiang Chen was stunned.

Invite me? Go to her house? But why

However, Tao Tingting did not give him any time to think, and had turned around and walked out the door. Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally he mustered up the courage and followed.

And that magazine was left at his desk.

Seeing the two left, the librarian who was sitting at the front desk expressionlessly suddenly stood up and walked silently to the chair where Jiang Chen was sitting.

Staring at the aged magazine for a while, she silently picked it up from the table.

However, she did not put it back on the bookshelf.

Instead, it tore it and threw it into the trash can.

-

"Wait a minute. Why did you invite me to your house?" Jiang Chen chased out of the library and walked behind Tao Tingting. After hesitating for a moment, hesitating for this doubt.

Suddenly, Tao Tingting stopped and the milky white skirt swayed gently in the breeze.

The lilies blooming under the halo in the setting sun are so beautiful.

So much so that Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment.

The goddess who made him think about it day and night was biting her lower lip at this moment, with a slightly shy face nodding slightly, and gently opening her red lips.

"Because, I want to know you."

learn?

Is this confessing to me? Jiang Chen's face was covered with redness and his lips were stiff, and he couldn't say a word.

My heart was thrust, as if I was about to jump out of my chest.

It turns out that she likes me too!

At this moment, Jiang Chen's brain was completely filled with the chaotic joy, and he had completely lost the ability to think, just looking at the goddess that made him dream of.

Tao Tingting smiled and walked towards the school gate.

Jiang Chen swallowed and spitted, lifted up his stiff steps and followed.

However, at this moment, a flash of light inadvertently caught a glimpse of the unnatural abnormality.

An inexplicable heart-wrenching feeling climbed into my heart.

The empty gaze was staring at him.

Are there cleaning robots here too?

That's right, this thing should be available everywhere, Jiang Chen muttered in his heart, leaving the unnatural feeling behind his head.

The robot seemed to have lost interest in him and looked straight in another direction.

-

The door opened, and Tao Tingting led Jiang Chen to the apartment she rented.

A one-bedroom apartment with a very simple structure. This type of house is easy to rent near the school and is not expensive. It seems that Tao Tingting, like him, is a person from outside the city.

The room was filled with a little jasmine fragrance. Clean and tidy light linen wallpaper covered every wall of the living room, a very simple coffee table and tablecloth, and a beige sofa.

"Sit down, do you want me to pour you a glass of water?" Tao Tingting turned around and smiled at Jiang Chen.

"Ah, uh, okay." Jiang Chen nodded in a panic expression. Then he sat on the sofa.

Looking at Tao Tingting's back standing next to the cabinet and smelling the fragrance of the goddess in the air, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.

Although I feel something is a bit unnatural, I am so happy that it doesn't matter. It's like being forced to fill me up, but the feeling of lack of reality in my heart disappeared without realizing it.

After a while, Tao Tingting gently brought two glasses of water to the living room, then smiled slightly at Jiang Chen, and placed the water cup in front of Jiang Chen.

"Give."

"Ah. Thank you." As if to cover up the embarrassment, Jiang Chen quickly held the cup and took a sip of the cold boiled water.

Tao Tingting sat down beside Jiang Chen, then looked at Jiang Chen's side face with a smile.

"Uh, is there anything on my face?"

"No." Tao Tingting shook her head with a smile, and her long gentle hair shook like willows.

"Um" Jiang Chen was speechless, buried his eyes in the cup, and stared at his reflection in the water.

"I want to know you, can I talk to me?"

As if he was hit by the center of the body severely, Jiang Chen's heart suddenly throbbed in an instant.

"Hey? Why? Do you want to know me?" Jiang Chen's Adam's apple moved and said with a stuttering feeling because he was at a loss.

In fact, the answer is clear.

"Because I like you." Tao Tingting stared into Jiang Chen's eyes and said with a smile.

I always feel a sense of inexplicable discomfort, I always feel something is wrong

However, this confusion is quickly filled with joy that bursts out like an explosion. Dopamine can make people forget to think.

"I, I like you too." Jiang Chen finally plucked up the courage and poured out the accumulated thoughts in his heart.

"I know." Tao Tingting looked at Jiang Chen's courageous look with a smile, "I have been following you for a long time."

"I know." "I have been following you for a long time." These two sentences were like curses, circling happily in his mind.

"Can you tell me your story?" Like a curious girlfriend, Tao Tingting looked at Jiang Chen's eyes and blinked her eyes with long eyelashes.

"I, I have no story to tell." Jiang Chen moved his face away with embarrassment, but Tao Tingting came closer unyieldingly.

"You can tell anything."

"Okay then." Jiang Chen hesitated and spoke.

To his surprise, he originally thought that Tao Tingting was the kind of literary girl who was not good at talking, but at this moment she gave Jiang Chen a feeling that she was very talkative.
