Evolution of a Girl

The girl is full of curiosity about the existence of human beings.

History is the proof of human existence.

But the more she studied history, the more the girl discovered that history has its limits.

Unless you transcend history.

So, taking a school project as an opportunity, she created a questionnaire.

"Hey, this is Tianyin-chan's homework. Please help fill it out if you can!"

"Thank you very much, manager."

There are not only online questionnaires, but also printed physical questionnaires.

At the maid cafe where she worked, the manager asked the maids to fill out a questionnaire as well, and gave the questionnaire to old customers who were familiar with Tianyin.

"Uh... tough question."

After receiving the questionnaire, Boma fell into deep thought.

"Ohhh, there are cute boys here. That's so awesome! Tianyin-chan, your choice is amazing!" Achun next to her exclaimed in admiration.

"Nah, what?!" Boma looked at Achun in horror.

——Achun, ah Achun, I didn’t expect you to be such a Chun!

"It's just appearance. Pomayo, as long as there is love, there is no problem with men!" Achun said seriously.

"See question five."

"...Online, you're close lovers, soulmates, and partners who share a common purpose. But in real life, the woman you love is a fat otaku..."

The Achun was severely damaged and sunk...

He raised his head, his face full of the expression of a sage: "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

Boma looked at him strangely.

"What can stop love is not time, not space, not race—it's body shape!!!"

The words turned into screams.

"...You're really good at making people become autistic with just a questionnaire." Lai Jin's voice rang out.

"I'm just curious."

"We haven't been in touch for a while. Then our entire 501st agency was deployed to Mexico, and there was a war. After that, we might have fewer opportunities to contact each other."

"Is 'Lai Jin' leaving?" Tianyin asked.

"Yes. But I hope you can come and do me a favor. The intensity of the war this time is quite high, and I want to complete the strengthening and upgrading of the long-range prosthesis..."

Lai Jin uses a tele-prosthetic body. Her prosthetic body shares memories but has subtly different personalities.

But she does have an "essence" after all.

If the main body encounters a problem, it will also affect the remote prosthesis.

"Okay." Tianyin replied.

"Thank you."

Lai Jin's voice was silent for a moment.

She spoke again.

"I used to believe that humanity's future lay in the world of information. Humanity would continue to evolve, eventually merging into a sea of data. But after meeting you, I realized that humanity has its limits. A digitized personality might even cause us to lose our original form."

"Then what did you see?" Tianyin asked.

"I don't know, so I have to seek answers even more. Observing and experiencing the future of humanity might be an interesting thing. I might have more prosthetics and experience different sensations," Lai Jin said. "But if that happens, my current body functions won't be enough. I need better external devices to assist with calculations, and I also need better equipment."

Tianyin's puppet shell inspired Lai Jin.

Although Tianyin looks like a skinny "medieval doll" now, she actually has four layers of clothing on her body.

Shendai Yikui's skills in this area are very good.

"Hmm, what is this?"

Tianyin is not busy at work now, she is just on standby in the maid cafe, so Lai Jin sent Tianyin a structural diagram.

It appears to be a helmet.

Unlike Tianyin's mask, this is a nearly circular helmet. Under the helmet is a structure similar to a collar, but it is very wide and thick, and there are many structures inside.

"A structure used to assist brain calculations. My body cannot be prosthetic, so I need this device."

"Exterior brain substitute?"

"...That's a good name," Lai Jin said. "The inside of the helmet is an external brain, and the equipment on the neck can interact with the low-level reflex centers in the brainstem and spine."

"The parts installed on my body are a circulatory system inspired by yours. However, my body is different from yours, so I added a lot of parts."

"Oh, wait a minute." Tianyin added some designs to Lai Jin's clothes.

"what is this?"

On the surface of Lai Jin's circulation suit, Tianyin added a pair of black long gloves and ballet thigh boots. The roots of the long gloves and thigh boots have special designs.

"Chris, isn't your body immobile? I think since we've done so much design, why not strengthen it a little more?"

This is the same exoskeleton that Lelouch prepared for Nunnally.

"This cycle suit can isolate the internal and external environments, so even if you don't wear the micromachine, Chris, it's fine. But being unable to move is still a big problem, so I added some mechanical design." Tianyin said, "I designed a program that can be controlled through the pseudo-nerves of the exo-brain."

"Well, thanks."

"nothing."

Communication ends.

In Lai Jin, we still need to prepare enough materials to make equipment.

Tianyin on this side began to collect the questionnaires that had been distributed.

"Here, Tianyin-chan." Boma handed the questionnaire to Tianyin.

"Thank you." Tianyin took the questionnaire and came to Achun's side.

At this time, Achun was in tears.

"Xiao Tianyin," he sighed, "it turns out that body shape is the culprit that prevents love!"

"Thank you. I'll take your opinion into consideration."

"Actually, it's all about looks..." Although Boma is a hacker and a strong man, he's actually a homebody. So he just casually complained.

"If we only consider appearance, I've discovered a very strange phenomenon," Tianyin said. "Those celebrities and idols who are good-looking usually don't have spouses who meet the local definition of 'beautiful'. They're just average."

"That... that's a three-dimensional thing." Boma was speechless because he was not familiar with the three-dimensional world.

"Because celebrities are surrounded by beautiful and lovely people, they tend to get aesthetically fatigued. And the more beautiful someone is, the less secure they feel—well, celebrities, like, have a more chaotic world, so they subconsciously compare other people's situations to their own, drawing some rather awful conclusions, which probably leads to a difference in their aesthetic standards."

The person who spoke was the store manager.

Although the store manager is not even a human cyborg, but just a dumpling cyborg, his words are surprisingly sharp.

"I see. Aesthetic fatigue and a sense of security, well, I'll include them in my criteria." Tianyin nodded. "Does spending long periods of time with people of outstanding appearance lead to an interest in less attractive people, or even monsters...? I guess I'll have to prepare a second version of the questionnaire."

“…” Boma looked at Tianyin in silence.

He felt that the second version of the questionnaire might be even more challenging...

……

Chris (Lai Jin)'s clothing inspiration comes from Angeli Workshop, specifically 758⑨6347 on P Station.

The design of ARISE is quite thoughtful. Lai Jin's design should be a hint at the wedge of Su Zi controlling multiple cyborgs and remote cyborgs in SAC, and the runaway AI in ARISE should also have a vague connection with the AI puppeteer in the 95 movie version.

I woke up from my dying illness and updated another chapter Orz

Then I found that the FGO event progress was 0, the Azure progress was 0, the Azure had only reached H5, and the Ark sanity was not cleared...

Chapter 133 Lai Jin: I seem to have been cheated?

This is a child care facility.

This was once where Kusanagi Motoko was, but Raijin's true form, Chris, is also here.

But the once sickly girl was now wrapped in a strange outfit.

There is a strange helmet on the head, and a full-body tights like black silk on the body, while the hands and legs are covered with gloves and boots.

This is Chris installing the external computer.

——The more she observed Tianyin, the more she realized that the ultimate of the world was far beyond what she had previously understood.

Even the converged and unified information integration is only a branch of evolution, not the ultimate, let alone salvation.

But she was not disappointed.

Before this, all she saw was an endless ocean.

But Tianyin is the guiding star on the ocean, guiding the way into the future.

The external substitute brain was the adjustment she made based on Tianyin's situation after receiving the information from the artificial puppet.

Tianyin's state is very interesting. She can use a pure human brain to embody the functions of an electronic brain, and can communicate with the Internet with just an external device.

The research was successful, imitating part of Tianyin's brain structure, and the external substitute brain made mainly with neural electronic chips is the helmet that will soon be worn on Lai Jin's head.

But precisely because it is such a rigorous device, after being connected to the brain, it will become integrated with the brain, and the brain's functions will be expanded to the field of external brain replacement.

If you want to peel it off in the future, it will be like cutting the brain directly, and you may even die if you are not careful. Unless you carefully "take back" the brain's functions to the brain itself before that, it will be very painful.

Of course, there are benefits too.

E.g……

No longer worried about collapsing due to accepting Tianyin's open senses, the external substitute brain allowed Chris's mind to process the huge amount of information flowing into it.

"Well………………"

Thoughts begin to connect.

The scope of the brain begins to expand.

Someone once said that humans only use a few percent of their brain's potential, and the rest is area waiting to be developed.

But this is not the case. Because the brain holds a large amount of subconscious intelligence, and high-level thinking also consumes a lot of energy, the processing of language, habits, and images has already reached the limit of human brain development.

Until the advent of electronic brains.

Initially, there was the problem of electronic cerebral sclerosis, but with the emergence of nanomechanical therapy and Murai vaccine in recent years, electronic cerebral sclerosis has become less and less common.

However, electronic brains also have their limits.

And now, Chrissy has crossed that line.

It seems as if the whole person has entered a completely new realm.

The body becomes more sensitive.

It's not that the senses are amplified, but simply that the brain's processing becomes more detailed, so it can feel sensations that were previously ignored.

The body becomes hot as the brain begins to make optimal adjustments to the body.

The endocrine system began to change, and a wonderful impulse made the "original body" who had been lying in the hospital bed feel like it was coming back to life.

It is like a dead tree coming back to life in spring, a long drought ending in rain, and the return of spring to the earth.

It is a breath of "life".

It's a feeling of being alive.

"Chris, how are you feeling?"

There's another person here with Chris.
