"..." Li and others looked at each other, and it was not difficult to tell that the woman in front of them had the same tone as the electronic sound of the Escape Tower.
But what really made them hesitate was the appearance of this person.
Although the other party looks like a human being, as long as you look closely, you can easily find many strange things about him. For example, her eyes are extremely complex, with many rings stacked on top of each other in the pupils, and even a glimmer of light can be seen. Her hair was a rare green color, tied into a single ponytail with a hairband, almost hanging down to her waist. However, her hair didn't look like it was naturally stretched out. Under the light of the carriage, it actually had a faint glow. A light orange glow.
In addition, there is a string of characters marked under the woman's collarbone. It is not a tattoo or a brand, but a crystal embedded in the skin. When she speaks, this string of crystals will flicker with the rise and fall of her tone. This is definitely not a characteristic of normal people or monsters.
Of course, Li paid more attention.
As a keen fox demon, she immediately discovered that this person was not breathing. The woman's chest didn't move at all, and her nose didn't move at all, which made the hair on her tail explode. In a sense, only dead people can do this. If the other party hadn't shown any hostility, her thunder spell would have almost taken action.
"Uh... Si Cong?" Xia Fan was the first to react.
"Exactly." The woman tilted her head, "I wonder if this appearance can meet your requirements?"
Li and others looked over.
Xia Fan quickly said in his heart, "When did I ask for this?"
"'Can you please don't speak suddenly? At least you can prepare me mentally.'" She replied in the recording, and this sentence was exactly what Xia Fan had said before, "The so-called psychological preparation of human beings all starts from the eyes. , that is, you need to see a dialogue entity, and this body is a suitable anchor point."
The former was dumbfounded for a moment, but I have to say that this is indeed in line with the logic of the system.
"So when you disappeared, you were looking for this?"
"I originally just planned to build a three-dimensional projection, but since you want to leave the escape tower area, you also want me to provide technical assistance. The projection obviously cannot do this." Sikong quickly replied, "So I can only use the multi-function An auxiliary doll to meet Omega’s needs.”
A multifunctional doll...
Xia Fan has already seen that in terms of realism, this artificial man is obviously very different from a real person, and this difference is not limited by technology, but is deliberately created.
"Because there are artificial life forms to fill the need for pleasure, the mechanically constructed simulation bodies do not have to be exactly the same." Sikong seemed to have guessed his thoughts, "In fact, this generation of dolls has been discontinued a long time ago. , even in the escape tower, there are not many reserves. If you want this body to meet more needs, I can also try to transform it..."
"No, no need, that's fine." Xia Fan quickly interrupted, "Let me introduce to you that she is the consciousness of the escape tower, named Sicong. The voice you heard before, in a sense She said it all. In order to ensure that the energy diversion project in Jinxia City can be completed smoothly, she will return with us and provide technical support for the project."
Mo Yun's eyes widened, "You mean... she is a machine person who carries the soul?"
"Uh... you can understand it this way."
"C-can I touch her?"
"This..." Xia Fan did not expect that Mo Yun would suddenly make this request, and could only look at Sikong himself.
"Although her behavior is offensive, I don't have any objection because it's just a clone." The latter said directly with thought, and there was even a hint of arrogance in his tone.
No, this guy is becoming more and more human-like.
Seeing Xia Fan slightly nodding, Mo Yun started working around Sikong as if she had found a treasure. It was obvious that she was very interested in this kind of machine man that could move freely - after all, in the past, a four-legged machine beast could control the machine. The game was in a state of disarray, and after changing to a bipedal Xuanwu, it could only meet the requirements of marching. It was not at the same level as Sikong, a creature that behaved the same as a human being.
"If this Si Kong... girl comes with us, what will happen to the Jing District?" Li leaned over and whispered, "You won't be paralyzed, right?"
"You are worrying too much. In fact, she has not left the patio area, but she can see farther with the help of this body." Xia Fan explained, "Of course, before truly seamless communication is established, there is nothing Sicon can do. Instantly transmits the message back to the patio, so you can temporarily treat her and the escape tower as two individuals."
"It's the same person, but two individuals?" Li scratched his ears, with a puzzled expression on his face.
Xia Ye could only smile. The person controlling this puppet was undoubtedly the backup of Si Kong. In the patio area, the data on both sides could be quickly communicated and merged, so they could be regarded as the same person. But where the signal from the patio cannot be transmitted, the puppet can only rely on the stored system to act, thus forming an information gap with the patio. From a human perspective, there is a difference in the "memories" of the two.
It's just that it's quite troublesome to explain this to everyone, and once the energy transmission is opened, seamless communication can be established, and the backup will be the same as the main body, so he doesn't plan to go into details.
"By the way, did Venerable Shengtian have anything to do with you yesterday?" Xia Fan changed the subject.
Li's expression suddenly froze.
Then the blush spread on her cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"No, it's nothing..." The fox demon turned away his eyes and shook his tail subconsciously, "She just came to talk to me about home affairs."
"Homely?" Xia Fan raised his eyebrows. According to the agreement, Li would accompany Lord Shengtian at night these days in the courtyard. In theory, he would have plenty of time to chat, so there was no need to call her over during the day.
"Yes, yes..." Li's face felt as if it was about to be cooked. "What do you think we can talk about? It's just some experiences of people who have been there - no, some experiences in life..."
The fox demon seemed to feel that there was something wrong with his words, so he simply took a few steps forward and ducked in front of Lord Shengtian, causing Xia Fan to lose the opportunity to ask further questions.
The latter's curiosity couldn't help but rise to its peak.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. In the past, no matter what he asked Li, she would always answer it.
If Sikong were asked to look back at this time, it should not be difficult to find the record of the conversation between the two at that time.
However, Xia Fan thought about it and decided to give up the idea.
Since Li didn't want to answer, he probably had his own reasons. If he used surveillance, he always felt that he was doing something wrong.
If Li accidentally learns about it, the consequences may be quite serious.
After weighing it up, Xia Fan finally suppressed this little doubt in his heart.
