At four in the morning, the bathroom on the first floor of Lingos' house.
Ed squeezed his cheeks in front of the mirror, and the visual and pain feedback were normal, indicating that he was not dreaming: "It seems really crazy, I even thought of an Alice."
"You're not crazy, I really am Alice." The sweet girl's voice sounded in his mind, "Ed, why don't you believe it?"
"I won't believe you unless you..." Ed took a deep breath, "unless you appeared in front of me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the inexplicable foreign body sensation left his brain, slid down the blood vessels in an instant, seeped out from the pores all over his body, and lost his sense of sensation when he left the body surface. Countless nano-sized particles gathered on the sink, gradually gathered into a mist as the number increased, followed by a fluid with a metallic luster, and finally solidified into a figure-sized silver humanoid.
"Ed, I'm back!" The silver figure waved his hands at him, while the voice still lingered in his mind, "I miss you so much!"
The imaginary excitement or ecstasy did not come, and the body did not tremble with tension, as if what happened in front of him was just a trivial thing. In the dim light, Ed heard the non-existent "click" sound, which was the sound of the derailed gear being stuck back, and then the various functions of the body began to operate normally, and the picture was rendered from black and white to gorgeous colorful.
"Welcome back," he said calmly, extending his hand forward. "I miss you too."
The silver puppet, which looks almost exactly like Alice, crawled onto his palms with hands and feet, sitting in a duck posture and looking at her. If you look closely, you can still make out a faint smile on her small face. : "Ed, I can't wait to see you, I came back too soon, so I only brought so much body, not enough to simulate the resonance chamber."
"It's okay, I don't care." He poked his head with the other hand and smiled, "I have the illusion that I have become NT again."
"There's not much information that such a big body can carry. I only brought memories of being with Ed and some important information." Alice sat on his hand and shook her body slightly, her skin felt cold. " By the way, I also brought back all the music, and Alice has been listening to music when she is bored on the road!"
After saying that, music played in Ed's mind.
"Stop for a moment..." he said with tears in his eyes. "Tell me what happened first? You hacked ELS?"
"Well, I don't know what's going on." The silver figure maintained a sitting position and rubbed forward two centimeters, "Alice's original plan was to imitate the mode of the horror angel and evolve nanoworms to devour ELS, but nanoworms evolved At the same time, the ELS was also changing shape and adapting to the nanoworm, and as a result, the ELS and the nanoworm ended up being the same thing."
"Then you changed from a simple software life body to a symbiotic body?" Ed stretched out his index finger and touched the head of the figure. "You are obviously not AI."
"I've touched Ed!" Alice opened her arms and hugged the front of his fingers, happily rubbing the pulp of his fingers with her face, "Is your body a little stiff? Let me adjust it."
Ed suddenly felt that the touch from his fingertips became much softer, and he couldn't help rubbing it twice before reluctantly retracting it: "Wait, let's get down to business first."
"Okay." Alice sat down again, "Well, ELS and I are a bit like nanoworms and ELS, I think our consciousness has become the same thing. No, it should be said that I am it but it is not me Well, not right, because I know all its experience, knowledge and emotions, and sometimes think of myself as it. Well, Ed, I don't know what I am anymore."
"You remember everything about it, but your main personality is still Alice, it's not just..." Ed thought for a while, and dug out a word he hadn't used in decades from the deepest part of his memory with great uncertainty. "... Seizing the house? Isn't it a sci-fi world view, how did you become a fairy?"
"Ed said it must be a house grab, Ed is the most powerful." Alice nodded sternly, patted her proportionally considerable chest, "Now all the ELS are mine. Part of it, they all listen to me, but I don't have to listen to them. I let them stay at Earth and Sun L4, and I'll come back to see you first!"
"Where's TurnA?"
"It was damaged by me, no, it was put in the L4 self-repair. Well, Alice sometimes can't tell whether she is Alice or ELS." The figure tilted his head, "I can talk to that side. Asynchronous communication, do you want it back, Ed?"
"In this case, all ELS are available resources, and TurnA can also recycle." His mind quickly turned, and a bold idea gradually formed, "How many tulip crystals are left in it?"
"There are still a lot left, but I, no, it's too big, I think it needs to collect more to make the jump. In fact, he doesn't know that the reserve is enough, but the utilization rate of tulip crystals is too low, not as advanced as TurnA knowledge." Alice looked a little regretful, "I collected energy to leave the galaxy, I didn't need to fight, but I was terrified and didn't know—"
"Alice," Eddard interrupted. "You are Alice."
"Yes, I'm Alice." The figure was taken aback, "I'm sorry, Ed, sometimes... just unconsciously..."
"It's okay, I'll help you stabilize your personality, it's good to get used to it. And you're more humane now, I'm very happy." Ed touched the head of the figure again, it felt very good, "please you Drag all ELS and TurnA back to Earth-Moon L4, it doesn’t matter if the speed is slower, the key is to save energy.”
"Mmmm!" Alice held her fingers tightly to her chest, showing a happy expression, "Leave it to me, Ed! I can finally help this time!"
"By the way, there is one more thing." Ed coughed twice, "Since you are a complete life now, you should understand the value of life. In other words, that... how to say it, just pay attention... "
"I won't hurt Angel and the others." Alice let go of his fingers and looked straight at him, "I can already be with Ed for 86,400 seconds a day, 365 days a year. Well, they must be jealous of me."
Ed's head suddenly froze. If he can't think of a way in a short time, he will drag it off: "Can you not tell them first? You can get into my body."
"But I really want to show off to idiot An Qi, she will be so angry when she finds out." Alice lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head in spirit, "But if Ed says so, then listen to Ai Dude, Alice would be very happy to be with Eddard."
Someone secretly let out a breath.
"Actually, Alice can do all the things Ed and Angel do every night for them, so that you can save time talking with Alice." The silver figure looked at him expectantly, "Ed, Do you think it's okay?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ed looked righteous, "Don't mess around."
"Alice is serious!" The figure responded to the voice and made the fluid seep into the body from his pores and traveled along the blood vessels to the brain, "Alice checked it on the Internet before, and Ed did so many troublesome things to get For specific nerve signals, wouldn’t it be much more convenient to directly stimulate nerves with nanotechnology?”
"Stop!" Ed shouted in a panic, "Alice, it's not like that!"
However, it was too late. Suddenly, the brain was blank, the body lost the function of language, and the soul seemed to be in the cloud. In a trance, his knees softened and he fell forward. He held on to the sink to barely maintain his balance. The sea of consciousness rose again and again, and the two wars were about to leave first. I don't know how long it took, but when he came back to his senses, he only felt a little cold between his crotch.
"Ed, are you in there?" An Qi casually pushed open the bathroom door, rubbing her sleepy eyes and making a lazy voice, "Suddenly found that the person on the bed was gone, you startled me, you were doing it in the middle of the night... uh... What are you doing?"
"Calm down and listen to me, things are not what you think." Ed's brain was overclocked at an unprecedented speed, and in a hurry he thought of an answer that he thought fooled, "I have wet dreams, come here. Wash your panties."
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon on the same day, Dr. Lingos' office.
Ed took the pen and focused on writing and drawing on the electronic screen, with a soothing rhythm playing music in his mind, and the figure-sized Alice quietly lying on his head.
The attack of ELS was like a near-miss nightmare, everything went back to normal after dawn, and life became full and hopeful again, except that An Qi was crying to the maid when he went out early in the morning. : "Ed would rather jerk off than touch me last night, Taoxiang, I-I don't know what to do..."
"It's done, you can come down, stop the music." Ed put down his pen and stretched, and Alice jumped from his head to the table in front of him, "This morning is not a suitable time to go home tonight. I will introduce you to everyone again."
"Okay." Miss Music Player resumed the duck sitting, "Alice doesn't matter."
"By the way, there's a question I've been meaning to ask." Ed said curiously. "You've been lying on your stomach since the early hours of the morning, so why don't you stand up?"
"Because it is very difficult to keep balance on bipedal walking, Alice will not be able to get her body just now." Miss Music Player said solemnly, "The most important thing is to transport the rest of my body back to Earth and Moon first, and then there will be more Practice slowly if you have the chance."
Just as she was talking, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and Ayanami, who was wearing a white coat, walked in with a blank face, and Alice immediately disguised herself as a figure.
"Did I come at the wrong time, Ed?" Ayanami looked at the pretty girl figure on the table, "Do you need me to leave?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm just finished." Ed pretended to calmly grab Alice and put it aside, "It would be better if I could knock on the door next time."
"You said last time that you don't need to knock on the door if you have something important." Ayanami looked a little bewildered. "There is a conflict between the statements. Does this time prevail?"
"It's the last time." Ling Baoli was still recovering, and Ed felt that going back and forth was not good for her character development, so he should pay attention to it in the future. "By the way, this is a figure, don't think too much about it."
"She is alive, but there are very few frequency bands that overlap between the quantum waves of the brain and the NT, so it is difficult to find." Ayanami looked at him calmly, "I won't think about it too much, Ed."
"... things are more complicated, I'll explain to you later." Ed rubbed his temples, "what happened?"
"Someone is looking for you, right at the door." Ayanbury asked, "Do you want to let him in?"
"Don't ask, Wei, he won't reject me." Zhu Xun appeared at the door with a smile, "Am I right?"
"Thank you, Li, I'll have a chat with him alone." Ed nodded to the girl, who turned and left the office and took the door with him.
"You who have lost your NT ability are so dull, really..." Zhu Xun pulled up a chair and sat opposite Ed, and shook his head with a smile, "By the way, 'sluggish' is a pun, and there is another You can guess what the thing refers to."
"I'm straight."
"I oppose your prejudice, love does not distinguish between race and gender." Nagisa Xun glanced at Alice, who was still pretending to be a figure, "Unfortunately, you guessed wrong, and I will not announce the correct answer. You prefer it if you like it. This is a foreshadowing here.”
"I remember." Ed said sternly, "So what do you have to do with me?"
"The problem of the ELS invasion has been solved?" Nagisa Xun continued before Ed's questioning. "The planet at L4 has started to move again, and you look in a good mood. Isn't it so difficult to speculate on the correct solution?"
"It happened..." Ed sighed. "It's dramatic."
"It makes you feel more like an actor on the stage, but you don't know who the audience is, don't you?" Nagisa Xun tapped lightly on the table with her fair and slender fingers, "Stop acting is also a kind of freedom."
"But I've signed a permanent sales contract." Ed smiled relievedly, "The heroines and supporting characters are too cute, and the background of the era is too strong, so I can't help but think, it's okay to continue acting, right? ."
"Seeing you is like seeing me who was given a beautiful dream in the past, forgetting the fact that I am neither an apostle nor a human being, just like you are now. But a dream is a dream after all, and you always have to wake up." Nagisa Kaoru glanced at him with pity, "It's not now, you don't understand now."
"Let's get down to business." Nagisa Xun's condescending attitude made Ed a little unhappy, "The ELS matter is settled, and the peace agreement between humans and the apostles is suspended?"
"The agreement is terminated, I'm here to convey this." Zhu Xun looked at him seriously, such a solemn expression was hard to appear on his face, "This is the last time I remind you, recall your identity, you really Do you want to go to war with the apostles for Li Lin? Smile is hypocritical, truth is painful, regret is waiting for you not far ahead, this is your last freedom."
"I clearly understand how nondescript and specious I am." Ed said firmly, "Even so, I have a world I want to protect!"
Volume Four, Roaring Towards the Future, finished.
Second volume preview
I looked up at the broken sky alone,
"The taste of revenge is wonderful, don't you think?"
And walk with you through the valley of emptiness;
"Thank you, this time it's my turn to make you happy."
Swing between dream and reality,
"Don't you think it's strange, everyone is inexplicably close to us."
Blown by the winds of the past and the future;
"I announce that I will sever all ties with Adrian Lingus!"
like rainwater into ocean rivers,
"No, I must have been born to meet you."
As the sun warms all things on earth;
"The moon is a particularly good place, come back soon."
Changed with unforgettable pains,
"Dual furnaces are very unstable, never use TRANS-AM."
That was my never-ending journey.
"It seems that I finally understand, then, please set me free..."
Second volume, really for you.
"Whether you're an apostle or something, I'm only saying one last time - give me my man back!!!"
