"Then go on."
It said, "Yesterday we listened to the story of "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" in "Arabian Nights". We just heard that because of greed, Gosimu, Alibaba's brother, entered the cave to carry the treasure, but forgot to open it. Spell at the cave gate, found and killed by bandits—what next?"
In fact, it has heard this story many times.
But Pepe still talked tirelessly, and it listened with interest.
When Ali Baba got the news of his brother's death, he felt sorry for Alibaba; when the robbers knew that someone had stolen Gosimu's body, they followed the clues and found Ali Baba's house, and he was also in fear with Pepe; When Malkina, the maidservant, figured out a way to wipe out all the forty thieves, together with Pepe, it breathed a sigh of relief for the Ali Baba family.
Deep in its thinking folds, there are countless pearl-like protrusions, which are its nerve synapses.
When it is sleepy, these "pearls" will emit a dim yellow light, when it is angry, these "pearls" will emit a bright red light, when it is wandering in the sea of stars and feeling bored, these "pearls" will emit light. Faint blue light, when it is very rare to feel nervous, these "pearls" will alternately emit short and dazzling seven-color light.
As for now, the colorful and gorgeous light flows slowly like a cloud, turning the depths of the folds of thinking into a beautiful lake, which means that it is deeply immersed in the girl's story, two completely different thinking modes , or two very different souls, gently echoed and resonated deeply.
"In this way, Ali Baba told his children and grandchildren the secret of the treasure house in the mountain. They passed it down from generation to generation, continued to enjoy the endless wealth in the mountain, became the richest family in the city, and lived happily ever after."
Pepe put her two feet, which were as tender as lotus roots, into the brainwaves visible to the naked eye, as if she was really playing with the clear lake water, "Okay, the story of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" is over , do you still want to hear new stories, Shannuya?"
In the past, it was always satisfied by listening to Pepe tell three or five stories in one breath.
But today, for some reason, it seemed that a strange lightning flashed through its huge and bloated neural network, causing it to have a new, very strange idea.
"No."
It said, "I don't want to hear new stories, I want to... ask some questions."
"question?"
Pepe was slightly taken aback, Shannuya rarely asked her questions, let alone in such a serious tone, "What do you want to know, Shannuya?"
"I still don't understand the story of "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves"."
It says, "Why does the bandit leader hide so much treasure secretly instead of sharing it with his fellows--didn't you say that 'treasure' is important to your race and can be exchanged for everything, the most capable What makes you happy, so why hide your happiness instead of sharing it?"
"This… "
Pepe blinked her eyes, a look of embarrassment and confusion appeared on her small face.
"Also, if Alibaba also wants to share happiness, why not ask the bandit leader directly?"
It asked again, "Anyway, the bandit leader has so much treasure, and Alibaba's children and grandchildren can't use it up for hundreds of years. Therefore, at the beginning, Alibaba asked the bandit leader what he wanted, and the bandit leader had no reason to refuse. Bar?"
Pepe's lips pursed, the tip of her nose turned up, her brows frowned, and her little face turned red.
"The witty maid, Malkina, is obviously not the leader of the bandits, so why did she deceive the bandits hiding in the urn?"
It went on to ask, "In other stories, you told me that it is wrong to cheat and hurt each other, but here, Malkina first deceived the robbers and then killed them with boiling hot oil." Kill them all—your race is different from mine. Once you die, all memories and inheritances will disappear, which is a complete annihilation. Why does Malkina do such a cruel thing, and it seems to be praised by everyone? "
"That's because the robbers wanted to kill Ali Baba's family, including the maid Malkina!"
Pepe finally found a question that could be answered, "This is a trick. Good people kill bad people. How can it be considered cruel?"
"Conspiracy?"
It thinks, "It is a kind of carbon-based intelligent life. In order to kill another carbon-based intelligent life, it tries to implement information blocking, information interference and information misleading? However, how to determine which carbon-based intelligent life is good? Which is bad? Does the good have to kill the bad?"
Pepe couldn't speak again.
The girl puffed up her cheeks and froze for a while, seeing the confused green light flickering in the synapses of the other party, she could only raise her hands in surrender: "I don't know, Shannuya, these stories were all long, long ago, my Written by the ancestors when they were still on the earth, they are all about the things when they just got rid of ignorance. to something.
"Perhaps, perhaps at that time they were not really 'smart life', but a group of stupid fools, who often did some unexplainable stupid things."
"Perhaps, your race is a bit stupid, and many things cannot be explained."
It says, "For example, why do you call me a 'Void Hunter'? I never hunt—if 'hunting' is a carbon-based life that preys on another carbon-based life at all costs, Then my race doesn't have the concept of 'hunting' at all, you should know that we only eat planets, directly crush and devour spars and minerals, and don't need to eat other carbon-based life."
"I don't know, it was a long, long time ago. At that time, our ancestors had just escaped from the destroyed homeland, and were terrified by the vast and boundless universe. So different."
Pepe said, "Perhaps my ancestors were afraid that your mother would hurt them, like hunters catching prey, so they called you 'Void Hunters'?"
"It's strange, because we look different, so we should be afraid?"
It thought for a long time, but still couldn't understand, "However, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves obviously look the same, and they are both your clansmen, but they still have to beware of each other, deceive each other, and hurt each other—you also said that your ancestors had previously I have never seen any aliens in the starry sky, and their biggest enemy is themselves, so why should I be afraid of a stranger in the starry sky who has never hurt them?"
