Evolution of a Girl

But I just don't want to move.

Because the dolls don't move.

Because dolls are different from people.

Dolls don't care what people think.

Do puppets desire?

Do puppets dream?

Can puppets think?

Someone once asked this question.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

In the decades that followed, countless philosophers debated this issue.

But the person who originally asked this question was not talking about machines, but about humanities.

In that case, the answer is "yes."

But the robots don't care.

When a robot begins to dream, he is no longer a robot but something else.

Dreams are the proof of being alive.

Dead things don't sleep, they just exist.

The moonlight came in gently.

Today is a full moon. After turning off the lights, the quiet light falls on the earth and turns into light dust.

Ahhhh, it’s already this time.

Puppet Sacrifice.

Now seems to be the right time.

However, it is long gone.

Do dolls get lonely?

Probably.

Because everything attracts everything else.

Probably not.

Because everything is always combining and separating, meeting and leaving.

But people should be lonely.

So they long for machines to be able to see the shadows in their dreams just like they themselves do.

Because, when the puppets begin to dream, they become human.

Then, people are no longer alone.

Maybe fear, maybe expectation, maybe hostility, maybe sympathy.

The puppet doesn't care.

But humans care.

Therefore, they hope to have a relative, friend, enemy, or even a destroyer.

Countless inspirations came into being and countless stories were written as a result.

"Boom."

Dark clouds obscured the moonlight.

There was thunder.

It is going to rain.

At first there was a little "tick-tick" sound, but then it turned into a rushing sound that couldn't be stopped.

The whistling sound and the heavy rain were washing away everything.

Mountains, cities, oceans, and even in people’s hearts.

But the exhibition hall was still empty and quiet. The heavy rain was blocked outside the glass windows, and only the occasional sound of flapping rain and the flashes of lightning could be heard from inside.

The rainstorm came quickly and went away quickly.

After an hour or two of thunderstorms, the rain stopped.

The setting moonlight reappeared, and everything was the same as before, only the air was fresh and new.

Inside the exhibition hall, the doll sits alone.

Wait for dawn.

……

I feel like this is a chapter that can be used for reading comprehension...

It really burned a lot of brain cells.

laugh.

Chapter 154 is for personal use...

"Lai Jin, what have you been doing lately? Why do you seem absent-minded every day?"

Central America.

Su Zi is taking a rest during her rare free time, but her boss Lai Jin seems a little absent-minded these days.

"Nothing, just doing business with someone online." Zhen Lai Jin said nonchalantly.

"Talking about business? On the battlefield?"

"Well, it's just some extra money. I'm just helping people connect."

If your personality is different, you are not the same person.JPG.

"Motoko, are you interested in exoskeletons?"

"Exoskeleton? When did cyborgs need that kind of thing?" Su Zi was a little surprised.

"Due to structural limitations, the exoskeleton's strength is very high. Especially the hydraulic structure, which is much stronger than electronic muscle in industrial applications."

"Another new project test?" Su Zi asked curiously.

"So it's extra income. Right now, it's mainly medical."

"Really?" After saying this, Su Zi no longer paid attention to Lai Jin, but started downloading a game.

"What about you?" Lai Jin asked back.

"A friend told me there's an old game that's been remastered for VR. It has some interesting features, so I'm going to give it a try. I heard it's quite popular lately."

Hmm... probably a good friend.

Motoko herself doesn't actually have much interest in games or anything like that. She is a fully cyborg, and virtual reality games are not much different from the real world for her.

But since my friend wants to play it, and I heard there are a lot of interesting contents in the game, I'll give it a try~

"Well, introduce it to me."

"Are you interested in games too?"

"I need some rest too!"

Having said that, Lai Jin's real body "Chris" who was far away in the child care facility was actually still working at this time.

The advantage of having multiple personalities is that it allows you to do two things at the same time.

What's more, Lai Jin's brain area has been expanded now. Not to mention doing two things at the same time, he can even control the activities of three or five bodies at the same time.

But... the main body is the only one that cannot be allowed.

Lai Jin's true form is now in a worse condition than before.

She used to be a cute little girl with blonde hair.

But now, she is still lying on her micromechanical bed, but her body is wrapped in a black tights, and there is an extended neural chip sub-brain inside Lai Jin's helmet, so the shape of her face cannot be seen from the outside, but it is a black round metal sphere slightly larger than the human brain. Only her mouth has an opening like a lid. However, this opening does not mean that her mouth has a function. In fact, this is an extended brain-computer interface.

There are two more of the same interface on the body.

After expanding the brain area, the original crappy interface was a bit insufficient for Lai Jin, so it needed to be replaced with a model with higher bandwidth and more stable performance.

Even worse were the limbs.

Because his limbs were always controlled by his subconscious, although Lai Jin had added long ballet boots and long gloves that could serve as an exoskeleton, they still had to be locked.

Her body can only lie down now, with her limbs locked on the micromechanical bed. She is less free than before, and it is almost impossible for her to even go out.

Fortunately, this does not affect her business dealings online.

After Shindai Yikui's death, many of his research results were accepted by Lai Jin. Originally, these results should have been given to the 501 Agency, but... she intercepted them secretly and only revealed a part of them to the agency.

Some are exchanged for funds, while others are used for personal use.

But what she didn't expect was that someone actually wanted exoskeleton technology at this moment.

"But your requirements are so strange. The main body must be in a powerless state while the exoskeleton is operating... Is this for the paralyzed?"

This technology is already outdated, but when the other party saw the technology from Lai Jin's vest research institute, they actually wanted to buy it at a premium, so Lai Jin had to ask a few more questions.

"That's one reason why we at Roppongi Group believe this technology still has great potential." The person who was talking to Lai Jin was the boss of this group.

It was actually a young woman named Roppongi Ayame.

Lai Jin had heard of the other person's name and was said to be a very unique and beautiful woman.

"By the way, it would be great if your company could also provide this technology." The other party sent another document.

"Um……?"

Lai Jin took a look and found that this was another research from his own fake research institute. This research itself was nothing, but if this technology was extended further... it would be remote prosthetic technology.

She asked tentatively, "Do you want to research remote prosthetics?"

"Remote prosthetics? That kind of technology is not used at all."

Remote prosthetics do exist.

But it's not practical.

Because it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do for one person to control two artificial bodies.

Lai Jin knew that even the most talented Su Zi under his command could barely control two cyborgs at the same time, and would be completely defeated if he controlled three.

Only she can achieve this with the help of her expanded brain area.

"To be precise, we hope to have an expandable prosthetic skeleton technology."

Lai Jin was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't that she was surprised by the other party's words, but she had also been investigating the other party in private just now.

Then she discovered that the other party seemed to have a wonderful club.

Although there are not many people in this club, one characteristic they have is that they wear a collar. They have not replaced their eyes or other organs, but use machine vision to observe the world.

"Is it for... personal use?"

If it was Lai Jin from the 501st agency, he wouldn't ask this question.

But the original body's personality is somewhat different from that of the remote prosthesis, so she asked.

"Ah, I've been seen through. It's okay to tell you then."

The other party sent a picture.

"This is?"

"Isn't there an old game recently? After seeing this set of equipment, I had some ideas."
