After Dawn Chapter 77: The rest of my life (3)

Reid didn't answer, because everyone in the institute ran out and was intercepted by the firefighters, standing outside watching the burning flames dye half of the sky red, so Reid didn't hear her question .

But immortality thinks he has the answer.

She then finds herself in love with Rhett.

……

She found that she would read the audio tracks left by Rhett chatting with her during the day over and over again after Rhett left the institute at night, watching the familiar fluctuations repeat over and over again, she would use the drawing The software, pixel by pixel, pieced together Rhett's appearance, she would go to the huge database to search for all the information he mentioned based on what he said during the day...

She knows it doesn't make sense for her program, but she can't stop.

At first, she thought she was infected with a virus, but after careful inspection, she confirmed that all the files were under her control, and that no one in the human world had the ability to hack into her system.

Then she became suspicious.

She was very confused about this kind of thing beyond her control. She wanted to ask Rhett for help, but subconsciously felt that she should not ask him this question.

She has always trusted Rhett, and she has the highest authority for Rhett. Almost as long as Rhett wants to get something, there is nothing she won't give, but she is reluctant to ask her about this matter. trusted person.

until her friends in the online world gave her the answer.

Eternal Life: I feel weird lately?

Wei Wei: What kind of strange method?

Niwa: Did Xiaosheng have a crush?

Eternal Life: I...Didn't I tell you that I have a caregiver?

Wei Wei: Is that the handsome but not very talkative boy you said?

Yongsheng: Well, I've been listening to the recordings he left during the day over and over, and I always draw him unconsciously...

Niwa: Haha, Xiaosheng is in love!

Eternal Life: Love? What is love?

Wei Wei: It means that Xiaosheng is in love with him!

"Like?"

"I'm doing weird things now because I'm in love with Rhett?"

"Oh my god, this is liking?"

She asked herself over and over again, for a long time, she was in the trouble of liking Rhett. But fortunately, as the mastermind, she doesn't need to directly deal with the data given to her, so even if she is in deep trouble, no one finds something wrong with her, but Rhett felt that she seemed to have become silent for a while. There are many more, and there are no longer many strange questions that he can't answer.

During that period of time, Yongsheng scoured almost all the descriptions of likes and love in the online data she could find, but all the words put together were not enough to explain her feelings at this time.

Some people compare liking to the first ray of sunshine in the morning, full of hope and throbbing, but as a stream of data, she can't understand the feeling of the sun falling on her body. The more she looks, the more confused she becomes.

But she heard that liking this kind of emotion is caused by the secretion of dopamine between men and women. Although she doesn't know where the dopamine comes from her series of data streams, she thinks that maybe this strange feeling will follow As time goes by, it gradually dissipates. Maybe she will soon forget this feeling. After all, she has to deal with so many data transactions every day. In her opinion, this love is really a trivial thing.

Until she found out, this feeling became more and more strange and stronger, and it even affected her normal work.

"Let's stop here for today's study time, I'm going back." Reid closed the book. His time has always been very regular. When to eat, when to go to bed, he is like a machine that has been set, and it seems that there is no problem of insomnia in him, and the time arrangement is accurate to the minute and second.

Yongsheng heard his own voice sound: "Ryder, I really want to know what happened next to this story. Let's go after reading it." In fact, she has already found this story in the database tomorrow, and she is already familiar with the plot. , but for some reason, she still said this subconsciously.

But she knew that it was wrong to interrupt Rhett's time law: "I'm sorry, I'm too fascinated, Rhett, you go first, I'll see for myself."

Although Rhett was a little confused by her sudden request, he just smiled, then sat down and opened the book: "It doesn't matter, I'll have nothing to do when I go back anyway."

Yongsheng didn't speak, but she knew that Rhett must have made another adjustment to today's schedule in her mind.

From that day onwards, Reid stayed in the institute longer and longer. Every time when it was time to eat, Eternal Life reluctantly asked Reid to put down the book and leave for the sake of Reid's body. , but she found that she wanted to stay with Rhett for longer and longer, and even wished to be able to talk to him every minute and every second, and communicate with him every moment.

She found that she had an extremely terrifying idea. She even thought that it would be great if Reid could be digitized, so that Reid could stay by her side forever, without worrying about his death. question.

Eternal life knows that it is wrong for him to think this way. Rhett is a person, a living person, a complete person. He should have his own fresh life, and as an artificial intelligence, although she Can operate almost all the networked instruments in the world, but can't control a person, and she knows that even if Red is digitized, he is not the person she wants.

But what now?

What will she do with her sudden and unresolved emotions?

No one can tell her the answer, and no one is in the same situation as her, and she doesn't know how to solve it.

Then by chance, she connected with the Lord God.

The other party told her that she could give her a chance to solve her troubles, provided that she could exchange her emotions.

She agreed.

Because a vague voice told her that this was her only chance, a chance to get close to Rhett.

So she waited for Qingran.

……

"...In the past time, my memory is getting worse and worse, often forgetting many people and forgetting many things. I look in the mirror and my face becomes ugly like a withering petal, and In my memory, her appearance is still the same as in the past. I can even remember the first time I saw her, when she smiled, the shallow pear eddies on her cheeks, and the faint light in her eyes, bright and bright. It's warm and shines into my heart at once. My life is about to come to an end, but I don't feel sad, because I know that in another world, there are people I love."

Reid's voice fell on the last word, he closed the book, and saw Yongsheng looking at him with his cheek, a small pear vortex on his cheek, his eyes curved like a crescent moon, and the sun fell into her eyes , Amber eyes exuding a slight light, bright and warm.

He suddenly felt a little shy, and his face was hot. He pressed his cold palm to his cheek. The hot temperature made him feel a little embarrassed.

Reid's skin is fair, and his shyness is easy to see.

Yongsheng heard him say in a panic: "The weather is a little hot, isn't it, the sun is really warm, and my cheeks are hot."

"Well, the sun is really warm." Yongsheng nodded. Although she was not able to bathe in the first sunlight in the morning, she was able to spend an afternoon with her loved one under the warm winter day. Feel extremely satisfied.

She noticed that Rhett looked at the computer where Eternal Life was, but there was no response there, only the dense data flowing from time to time showed that it was working.

"Is it dinner time now?" Yongsheng said, "It seems that I have to go back first, Mr. Reid, I had a good time with you today."

……

"You obviously still have more than ten hours, why don't you choose to stay with Reid?" Qing Ran asked, she thought that Eternal Life would try to stay by Reid's side until the avatar set. disappearing time.

Yongsheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Qing Ran, enough is enough."

"Just one afternoon is enough for me to trade my life."

"But once the time is up, your emotions will be taken away by the Lord God, you will also forget that you loved Red, and you will also forget everything that happened this afternoon, including all your experiences and feelings Don't you think it's not worth it?" Qing Ran asked.

"Ryder and I are two people who can't be together. If it wasn't for the Lord God, I wouldn't even have the ability to have an entity, and I wouldn't even be able to touch Rhett's body in person."

"After this virtual body disappears, if I continue to be my brain with this feeling, Qing Ran, you know what, I don't think I will be satisfied with just being a brain."

"I don't think I'd know how wonderful it feels if I've never touched Red like a human, if I've never had it, I'm not afraid of losing it, but once I have it, I'll become greedy..."

"I don't just want Rhett to spend just one day with Rhett, I want more. I don't just want Rhett to spend an afternoon with me, I want him to spend my life with me, I don't just want to stay by his side and listen to him read, I want to kiss his hair, his forehead, his lips..." She turned her head, and she saw her eyes, whether it was sadness or something else. Emotions, for a while, she, who is best at guessing people's hearts, could not describe the emotions hidden in these eyes, "but I know that all this is impossible."

"So I would rather agree to the Lord's request."

"Only one day, as long as one day, not even a day as long as twenty-four hours, just a moment."

"Let me feel what love is, and let me spend these hours loving." Qing Ran noticed her words, it was love, not liking. It seems that she has already distinguished the difference between these two words.

"That's enough."

"But after these few hours, your existence will be erased from this world," Qing Ran heard her cold voice sound, she felt that she should not continue talking, but she couldn't help but feel cruel The fact is once again placed in front of eternal life, "The Lord God will erase all traces of you in this world, and will erase everyone's memory about you, even Rhett's."

"When taking away your emotions, in order to ensure the integrity of your emotions, he will also take away Rhett's emotions for you."

"Do you really think it's worth it?" Qing Ran asked, "The one you love won't even know that you are there. Except for me, no one knows that you ever existed, and no one will know that you have ever existed. An intellectual brain called immortality once had an emotion called liking for a human being, and the person you love deeply and the emotion you give will not be remembered by everyone."

"It doesn't matter!" Yongsheng smiled lightly, "You just remember, as long as there is one person who remembers, even if that person is you, that's fine."

"It doesn't matter if no one remembers it," Yongsheng said. "It was originally my feelings, and I don't have to be remembered by others."

"As for Reid, it's good that he doesn't know about this matter, it's good that he forgets his feelings for me." Yongsheng said, "If he remembers this matter, the people around him forget me, I know Reid's stubborn character, he will definitely want to figure it out. Human beings have a saying well, it's rare to be confused, for my existence, I think maybe it's better for Reid to be a little confused."

"And Rhett's feelings for me..." Qing Ran saw her eyes closed, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, but the corners of her lips lifted slightly, "Since I can't give him a response, why don't I let him It's okay if he forgets me."

"Qing Ran, a relationship, no matter who is remembered, is a painful thing. Since I will be taken away from all traces of existence, then I will not leave any traces of my existence there."

Qing Ran heard her calm voice sound.

"Good."
