"False." Xu Yang said subconsciously, "The language we understand has been like this from the beginning. We have been using the same language a long time ago."
"Is this possible? In this vast world, is it possible for everyone to speak the same language?" Cui Junyou said.
"Then how can you prove it?" Xu Yang shook his head. "You said we carry special implants. You are a professional prosthetist. Why have you never detected such a thing in your patients?"
"Because of the company's conspiracy," Cui Junyou gritted his teeth, "they have hidden the most critical things in the blind spot of our vision. Wouldn't we be stupid if we were stupid enough not to admit this kind of thing!"
"this……"
"Actually, what you just said is possible." Falosa said.
"Huh?" Xu Yang never expected that Falosa would express his opinion on this.
How could an ancient witch offer a new perspective on new age conspiracy theories?
"It's strange," Falosa said, "Maybe it's because the myth has been eradicated that you have such thoughts. A long time ago, people would never have been so confused, because everyone knew that the giant tower was real.
of."
"You mean..."
"God exists," Falosha said, "and everyone knows about God's tower. In the ancient past, mankind was indeed fragmented into many different tribes with different accents, and God selected some of His favorite people.
The tribes selected their languages, mixed them to make the languages unified, and sent out messengers. The so-called messengers of God were also witches. God's blessing increased the magic power and asked her to send spirits to everyone. In this way
, people can all speak the same language and use the same words.”
No wonder Falosa, as a person from thousands of years ago, can communicate with us without any barriers as soon as she opens her eyes.
"What's the purpose?" Xu Yang asked.
"It's just to build a huge tower," Falosa said, "God hopes that people can unite and build a high tower on the ground, so that people can always reach the sky through the high tower and see the god himself. So, you are neurotic and scared.
Something that is actually the result of divine power.”
"Nonsense," Cui Junyou said, "There is no such thing as a 'god'! Then where is the giant tower you mentioned?"
"It's strange," Niederreiter said. "There are so many rats out there and you're still talking about this. It's amazing."
"I don't want to waste any more time on this." Xu Yang ended the endless debate and started to leave.
Survival is the first priority!
He used his digital mind to scan the surrounding environment, but unexpectedly discovered that a signal source was trying to send a message to him.
Huh? Who would send me a message at a time like this?
Xu Yang filtered the information conveyed by the other party. The content was very small, only two words.
"Help"
The signal source was very close, and Xu Yang could tell that just a few steps away, in this narrow room, someone was desperately asking for help from him!
Who is it?
Such a bizarre thing made him feel weird.
Must find it out.
Xu Yang observed everyone's expressions. Cui Junyou was angry, Ye Zi was confused, Falosa was calm, and although Niederreiter couldn't see his face clearly, it didn't look like he was asking for help.
Not only that, Niederreiter also waved to Xu Yang, who even wore thick gloves on his hands under his sleeves.
"This is the Sanxian Ergan inhibitor," Niederreiter handed Xu Yang a pack of oral liquid. "It can improve the symptoms of implant disorder and avoid deterioration."
"Thank you." Xu Yang accepted the oral liquid. It had intact packaging and production date. The other party really wanted to help, which impressed him.
"He is a kind-hearted person." Ye Zi said happily.
"It's nothing to talk about." Niederreiter said, "Xu is very rich. Even without me, he can find many ways to take care of her."
After confirming that the distress signal was not sent by anyone in front of him, Xu Yang let them go first and wandered in the prosthetic shop for a while.
This feels so scary. Do cyber ghosts really exist? Can they send messages to people?
Because of the incomplete function, Xu Yang only knew that the signal source was extremely close, but could not confirm the location.
Xu Yang tracked the object of the message and analyzed its identification code.
It's even weirder.
He has never seen such a string of code.
Xu Yang has worked as an engineer for many years. Any power grid, trap, gun tower, mine explosion, door, camera, household appliance, or vehicle has its own grouping form, and there are always traces to follow.
But now, the coded information of the device he was tracking was like a wordless bible with no rules at all.
"Old Cui," Xu Yang asked him while walking around the prosthetic clinic, "Is there anything in your place that can proactively send messages?"
"What stuff, I don't know." Cui Junyou put the last valuable stuff into the box and picked it up, "I have to leave, let's go quickly."
"...I'll look for it again."
Xu Yang kept searching for this extremely mysterious ghost signal.
If the other person is asking me for help and I just walk away, wouldn't I be putting the other person in danger?
He walked around the clinic three or four times, constantly looking for the source of the signal, and finally stopped at a dirty shelf in the far corner of the clinic.
Make sure the signal source is here.
Waste implants, eyeballs, male prostheses... Xu Yang groped for the things on the shelves, and finally felt that he touched something soft and silky.
hair.
Xu Yang's hand touched down, his eyes, nose...
He was stunned.
A woman's head.
Only the left half of the face is human flesh, covered in dust, and the right half is a broken metal face. Likewise, the left eye is an eyeball, and the right eye is a circular camera.
This ugly metal face gave Xu Yang a sad smile and made a weak electronic sound like a mosquito.
"……Help……"
To live in modern times, one must have a strong heart. There are always things beyond cognition waiting for you.
"Old Cui?" Xu Yang managed to stand firm and called softly.
"Here we come." Cui Junyou responded lazily.
Xu Yang heard the sound of his slow shuffling steps 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 had been abandoned in a corner for a long time, the face was already covered in dust, but the muscles on the face were not decayed and had maggots. It was probably not a real face, but a simulated skin made of artificial synthetic materials.
Xu Yang looked down, looking for the part where the head connects to the neck. It was too dark to see either the spine or the wires.
The sad-looking head could no longer make any sound. The action just now may have exhausted all its power, or exhausted its strength? Xu Yang couldn't tell.
Cui Junyou kept walking until he came to the shelf in the same row as Xu Yang. He ducked in sideways and tried his best to avoid touching any debris.
"What did you find? This place is full of things I have no use for," he said.
"This." Xu Yang pointed at the head in front of him.
Cui Junyou took out his mobile phone and looked at it with the mobile phone light. Only then did Xu Yang see her appearance more clearly. She looked like a blond northern woman. Judging from the remaining half of her face, she was still quite beautiful. But now only the remaining half of her face was left.
Headed.
"Oh, I collected rare parts." Cui Junyou said, "I spent a lot of money on them. I originally wanted to take them apart and look at them, but I never had the time."
"Parts? This is obviously alive!"
"Live and dead, there are too many half-lived and half-dead things these days. Who can tell clearly? There is another conspiracy of the company behind this!"
"Put the company's affairs aside for now and tell me about 'it' first."
"Well, it was on the 'convenient purchase' platform, and it was being auctioned. My business was good, five years ago." Cui Junyou recalled.
Conveniently shopping is a very famous online shopping platform, which has experienced a slight decline in recent years.
"Keep talking."
"I bought it for about 1.5 million. It's a scrapped battle witch."
"A transformed witch?"
"Yes, the whole-body prosthetic transformation was in service for many years and was finally scrapped. So the body parts were separated and sold. The head, chest, waist, hands, feet, legs, etc. were bought separately. I
I thought the head was the most valuable, but later I found out that the breasts and crotch were the most valuable. I thought those two pieces were useless so I didn’t buy them. The price of the head was not high. Look, this face is completely artificial and half of it is metal.
, it was extremely ugly and had no collection value. No one bid at all, so I bought it after two rounds of bidding.”
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 who sent me a signal for help in the dark shelf.
Is this the first time she has asked for help? Or has there been countless calls for help that have been ignored before.
Just hearing the experience of this broken witch made Xu Yang feel deeply sympathetic.
First, she was repeatedly transformed, then split up and sold, and lived in the depths of the prosthetic clinic in Aizu City. She survived for five years without being known to anyone, and then used her last bit of strength to convey the distress signal to me... How big is it for her?
The hardships!
We cannot ignore such desperate thoughts of survival.
"She is still alive." Xu Yang said, "She asked for my help."
"Xi Ba, it's so damn weird." Cui Junyou said, "You want to defend this dead head?"
"I'll give you 2 million, sell it to me."
"If I don't charge you, you have given me too much before," Cui Junyou looked at the witch's head carefully, "Since you have captured the Lijia Robot Supermarket, maybe you can pull out her thinking chip and install it on a robot."
"Maybe." Xu Yang continued to analyze, "If she has undergone enough prosthetic transformation, her chip should be able to adapt to the robot intelligent control module, otherwise she will not be able to control her original mechanized body."
If this mechanical witch is resurrected, she may be able to help us. If Cui Junyou is right, she was once a war witch who served for many years, so she should have excellent combat qualities 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.
Walking out with the witch's head in his arms, Xu Yang looked up and saw Falosa. The head seemed to be much heavier.
"What is that?" Falosa's face suddenly changed, "Zombie?"
"In a sense, she is also a witch and is your compatriot." Xu Yang whispered, "She needs our help."
"No, does this thing deserve to be called a witch?" Farossa said disdainfully, "I am expelling her from the ranks of witches."
Xu Yang didn't know how to explain it for a while.
One is a mechanical witch who has been completely transformed into a prosthetic body, and now only one head is left. The other is a "pure" witch who has been sleeping since thousands of years ago and firmly believes that witches are superior to others.
Is there any way I can make Falosa understand what's going on?
