Evolution of a Girl

But an embarrassing thing happened - she forgot that after Tianyin reminded her for the first time, she went home and checked the settings of the APP.

As a result, I forgot to change it back.

So - it was a complete tragedy.

The girl also wanted to go find Tianyin.

She was shy at first, but finally made up her mind.

But it was too late because it was already summer vacation.

So she could only contact the manufacturer's club.

Because the person she met was a beautiful older sister, Horikawa Tokimi felt a little more relaxed.

Then, the girl found that the door to a new world was opening before her.

To people twenty or thirty years ago, this era has a cyberpunk atmosphere, and it is indeed so. In this world, all kinds of hobbies exist.

The rich and powerful who like dolls, the rich who want to dress up as dolls, the artists who just want to be alone forever, the hippies who feel uncomfortable if they don’t open their clothes, and so on.

This club is a similar place.

They advocate the extension of human senses through machines, but do not advocate organ transplantation and modification, because they believe that it is precisely because the human body has these useless organs that it can realize the supremacy brought to it by machines and electronics.

However, if you simply replace electronic eyes, prosthetic limbs or other body parts, you will not be able to experience the "sense of extension".

There are two clubs, one for the outer layer.

The other is inward-facing.

Tokimi Horikawa was originally part of the outward-facing club.

But she was gradually attracted to the club and was introduced to join this small circle.

Coming here to visit today is her first task in the "inspection period".

And the "big sister" in front of her was the one who brought her here.

Horikawa Tokimi wasn't poor, but she wasn't rich either. This was her first time here, and she was quite nervous.

"Okay, let's go in." The other party took Horikawa Tokimi's hand.

"Yeah." Horikawa Tokimi followed the other person and touched her collar with her hand.

This equipment is a special product made by the club.

There is an unadjustable timer inside, and the time on the timer is 365 days.

In other words, after putting this thing on, Horikawa Tokimi couldn't take it off for a whole year.

But a week ago, I was obsessed with wearing it...

It is said that the club originally wanted to set it up permanently, but considering the advancement of technology, it was designed to be replaced every three years, and the probation period is one year. If you cannot accept it, you can only withdraw from the club.

"If it were Tianyin-chan, she would have enough talent..."

Unfortunately, the club's philosophy focuses more on the contrast between humans and machines. However, Amane is a fully cyborg. Even with this experience, her innate qualities for joining are still far inferior to those of Horikawa Tokimi, who only has a cybernetic brain and a fully fleshy body.

“There are so many people…”

After a week, Tokimi Horikawa had become accustomed to using the speaker on the collar to make sounds.

As soon as she came in, Horikawa Tokimi discovered that there were more people here than she had imagined.

"There's big news this year," the other party said, "because Master Shindai Gikui's posthumous work will be on display here."

"I see."

Horikawa Tokimi also realized it because the two were heading towards a place with a lot of traffic.

There are puppets everywhere, it's a bit overwhelming.

"What do the people in the club think of these dolls?" She actually felt a little curious.

Soon, the two arrived at the place with the most traffic, where there was a glass cover.

Inside the glass cover is a blonde Japanese doll wearing a kimono.

A subtle difference from previous Otoko puppets is that the joints of this doll's limbs are all antique spherical structures. But paired with this outfit, it actually looks quite nice.

"This is the posthumous work of Master Yikui..."

It is a sound without a puppet.

But... there's a strange sense of déjà vu, as if I've seen it somewhere...

"Mr. Masami, nice to meet you." At this time, Horikawa Tokimi heard the older sister talking. She seemed to be chatting with someone...

……

Originally, it was said that 1000 recommendations, 100 monthly tickets, and 50 blades would be given for additional updates.

However, after looking at the results, I found that the updates this week were far more than this data.

Let’s stick to this for now. There will be two updates at the very least, and the rest will be extra updates. Let’s see how much I can write this week.

I really can't take it anymore today, I feel completely exhausted... So let it be.

It's a new week, vote for the author to update more!

Chapter 150 The Doll Girl Watches Quietly

——The one sitting there is a doll.

The posthumous work of Kamishiro Gikui.

It is said that there is controversy outside that this doll may be a fake, but Zhengshen Ranger understood it the moment he saw it.

This must be the creation of Shendai Yikui.

It was a kimono-clad Otoko puppet.

Despite its somewhat Western appearance and platinum hair, this doll exudes a refined and pure aura. Rather, it's the contrasting styles that perfectly highlight the doll's purity.

The spherical joints are completely different from the current bionic designs, as if to mock those clumsy imitators who force puppets to pose like lifelike people.

A puppet is a puppet, how can a puppet become a human?

Because humans cannot become puppets, they make puppets more and more like humans.

By blurring the line between humans and puppets, and making puppets more human, one thinks they are closer to puppets.

This is Shendai Yikui's mockery of the world.

Because humans are such ridiculous and poor imitators.

Don't want to admit it.

Don't want to admit it.

Don't want to admit it.

If he admitted it, it would be a denial of Liuli.

If you admit it, you are denying yourself.

However, the puppet did not speak.

The doll just sat quietly in the window.

The puppet doesn't care.

"Even after death, the ghost still lingers..."

Zhengshen Ranji frowned.

The exquisite doll sits upright.

"Mr. Zhengshen."

a voice sounded.

Zhengshen asked Er to turn around.

She is a delicate woman with long black hair.

"Oh my, isn't this Miss Ayame from Roppongi? It's been a long time, Miss Ayame."

Zhengshen let Er smile at the other party.

Women are beautiful.

She has a pair of natural purple eyes.

It is extremely rare, and it is said that there are only a few rare individuals in the world.

But she chose to close her eyes.

She has such a beautiful appearance, but she doesn't care.

She was wearing a gorgeous dress, but the metal collar around her neck completely took away the dress's charm, and the dress itself seemed to be deliberately highlighting the collar.

Roppongi Ayame is a normal person with a rare natural beauty.

But she could not see, hear, or speak. Her vision, hearing, and vocal cords were replaced by the collar around her neck.

They are a somewhat different group of people.

In today's era, it is not uncommon to replace parts of the body in pursuit of better sensations.

But these people are different. When they have better alternatives, they still choose to keep the "useless parts" of the original.

"I was wondering why I wouldn't see Mr. Zhengshen at an event like this." The man smiled, but his voice came from the collar. "This is our club's future new member. Come, say hello to Mr. Zhengshen."

Horikawa Tokimi was pulled in front of the two of them.

"Nice to meet you... My name is Horikawa Tokimi. Please be kind to me."

One advantage of speaking with this collar is that you no longer have to worry about stuttering.

Although I was a little nervous, I was able to speak at least.

"Hello." After greeting Horikawa Tokimi, Masami turned to look at the former, "I came here with an invitation from Mr. Tadokoro. It's rare to see you here. Don't you guys like dolls very much?"

"Well, I think Mr. Zhengshen has a slight misunderstanding. Human existence has meaning because of contrast and comparison. Because this is a puppet exhibition, we here can reflect the meaning of our being human." Ayame said.

"The more humanity develops, the more prone it becomes to confusion. Finding our place in this vast and empty world is truly a challenge." Masami asked Er to turn and look at the Otonashi puppet. "Sometimes I wonder if human existence has any meaning. Perhaps our value is truly less than that of those dead puppets."

But the puppet doesn't care.

The puppet just sits there quietly.

The puppet just watched all this quietly.

The more humans develop, the more they understand the vastness of the universe and their own insignificance, and the more likely they are to feel emptiness and fear about their own existence.

What kind of existence is human being?

Probably the waves.

Born in the sea, disappear in the sea, and disappear in an instant.

That which exists, that which does not exist, that which has disappeared, and that which has not disappeared.

Everything, everything, is so empty, so empty.

"Oh, come to think of it, I think humans acting as puppets are more exciting." An untimely voice sounded.

At first glance, it seemed to make some sense, but both of them knew that this was probably no longer a discussion in the field of philosophy.

"Mr. Tadokoro Hiroshi." Masami Rinji and Roppongi Ayame both looked at each other.

This person is none other than Tadokoro Hiroshi, the son of Keidanren Chairman Tadokoro Tsutomu.

"Dolls are indeed very exciting. But sometimes, when a person plays the puppet, the feeling of being afraid that they might be exposed at any time is even better."

The True God made Er feel a little uncomfortable. He knew that the other party didn't mean anything by him, but he still felt a little unhappy.

However, he couldn't say anything because his father was seeking support from Keidanren. With the other party's help, the future of Juqing would be better developed.

Masami Ryouji then changed the subject: "Mr. Tadokoro, where did this doll come from? I heard that Kamishiro Gikui adopted a child after he retired. Was it donated by him?"

Juqing has been searching for the existence of that "adopted daughter", but they can never find any clues.

They only knew that there was such a person.
