"Damn! No call yet?"
The surroundings were pitch black, and Richard, who suffered from night blindness like most other diurnal birds, had been waiting in the dark for a long time, making it anxious and suffocated.
"Gah! Is anyone there? Where are you idiot?"
It didn't know how many times it asked with a loud voice, but it still didn't respond.
"Damn it! It must be that idiot talking about the cat in the black box all day long and got his karma, but even if it was karma, he and another naked man should be locked in the black box. Why should karma be in On my uncle?"
In fact, the surrounding light is not completely dark. If a cat or a dog were here, they should be able to see a lot of things. Even an ordinary person with average eyesight would not be in such a blind state, but there is no way, Its eyes are worst at sensing dark light.
In order to relieve the boredom and the panic feeling that something is missing in its heart, it took pleasure in bitterness, and said to itself with a small jump on the spot:
"The content of the experiment has been well thought out by this uncle. Before you open the black box to observe, you will never know whether he and another naked man are connected together, in a 'continuous' superposition state! Emmmmm, this uncle is really a genius, maybe In the future, people will name this experiment after my uncle, just...Richard's Key?"
It feels that the layout here seems a bit familiar, but it is not the first or second floor of the pet shop where it often stays, otherwise it will not stumble with its eyes closed, and here it really dare not fly around, in case it hits something What if you break your neck
At this moment, a door suddenly opened, and the light from the corridor shone into the room. Before Richard could react, there was a snort, and the curtains were pulled open.
The room went from night to day in an instant.
The morning sun slanted in from the window, illuminating the room.
"Hi! How did you sleep last night, little one?"
An intellectual woman with slightly curly hair in a white coat stood by the window, and the sunlight coated her figure with a golden outline, like a holy goddess.
Richard froze in a daze, his eyes and brain froze at the same time.
There was a file folder under her armpit. After she opened the curtain, she opened the file folder and wrote something with a brush, as if she was arranging today's plan.
"Let's see what our mission is today... Well, are you ready for a new challenge? But let's have breakfast first."
Her image was younger than it remembered.
Memories flooded into its mind in an instant.
If it remembers correctly, she at this age... should have been shortly after the experiment started, she was just an unknown and ordinary scientific researcher, and it... was just a gray parrot just bought from a pet store .
It doesn't know how long the so-called "just" is, because it was not conscious at that time, and the concept of time is very vague. It may take half a year to one or two years to leave the pet store and come to the laboratory.
Yeah, even the current lab is very different from the later period, so it's not too impressive.
She put down the folder and came to its cage with a small box containing a mixture of vegetables, fruits, and nuts.
Her face was a little tired. After returning home yesterday, she should read books or do research until late. She didn't want to be like this, but the research on the intelligence of gray parrots is currently at a standstill, and the funds are burning, so she has to rethink What went wrong with the research direction, and where to improve.
Needless to say, the most important role in the experiment is the gray parrot, whose state determines the success or failure of the experiment.
Sometimes, for example, when the experiment has been stalemate for several days, she will stare at it for a long time in a trance, unavoidably doubting whether this gray parrot is an ideal experimental subject, after all, human beings have different levels of intelligence. It's not unusual for her to happen to have bought a parrot that wasn't too smart.
If so, it may be the right choice to switch to a parrot as soon as possible.
Some people may say, no need to change it, just buy a few more gray parrots as experimental subjects
In fact, it is not that simple. Gray parrots are very smart. They are so smart that they will not easily give people trust, let alone cooperate with experiments. When you buy gray parrots, you must first get acquainted with them. For experiments, the time cost cannot be calculated.
Her funds are limited, and her manpower is even more limited. The objective conditions do not allow her to select a large number of parrots at the same time for several years or even decades of experiments.
And... She can feel from its daily performance and eyes that it is a very smart parrot, maybe it just needs more patience and time.
"You... didn't sleep well last night? It looks bad, you should get more rest." Richard murmured.
bang.
The small box dropped to the ground along with the vegetables, fruit and nuts inside.
Her eyes widened in shock, and her mouth opened into an O shape.
God! It... did it just speak? And speak so well? Am I dreaming
From the greeting after entering the door, the words she said to it did not actually expect it to respond, she just greeted it routinely, and talked to it as much as possible from morning to night, in order for it to adapt to the speaking environment.
As a smart gray parrot, of course it can talk, but what it can say so far cannot escape the category of parrot learning, and it is still far from truly proving its intelligence.
However, the two sentences just now came out of its mouth so naturally, the words were correct, the semantics and context were impeccable, it was almost no different from another person talking to her.
How can this be
She stared at it blankly, wondering if there was something wrong with her brain, was she hallucinating because she was too eager for the progress of the experiment
"Is it okay to say one more sentence?" She begged eagerly.
Richard grinned, "No problem, just say a few more words, as long as you're happy..."
She was so excited that she almost fainted, and wandered around in a daze, clutching her chest, as if she was afraid that her heart would jump out of her chest.
It's a pity that the assistant asked for leave today and did not witness this scene, and there were no surveillance cameras in the laboratory at this time.
"I'm sorry, I'll get you something to eat later, let's talk more together, okay?" She finally calmed down and said with a smile on her face.
"good."
She packed the vegetables and fruits on the ground into the trash can, and then hurried outside.
"Doctor..." it spoke again.
She stopped and turned around.
"I'll always be here waiting for you, not going anywhere, you know that, right?" it said with a smile.
She laughed too, "I know... I'll be right back."
No one wanted to talk to it more eagerly than her. The hard work that had been going on all this time suddenly paid off far beyond expectations, but the awareness of being a scientific researcher made her restrain her ecstasy. After breakfast, she must be patient and not be so eager for quick success.
She wants to prepare another breakfast for it, then take the video camera, and use the video camera to record her next conversation with it, it must be a documentary that will shock the world.
Her figure disappeared into the corridor, and the laboratory returned to silence.
Richard looked up at the ball of light floating on the roof, and said disdainfully: "So, is this a dream or some other trick? What kind of bird is this uncle, how could he be trapped in a dream for so long like that idiot? ? You guys, don’t underestimate me!”
[Navigation Wizard]: ...
Richard: "The survivors live in stealth, and the dead are long gone. For her, the uncle is dead, life and death are different, and dead things should not interfere with the lives of the living. It will only increase troubles." That's all... otherwise, if my uncle wants to see her, he can just go and see her himself, why do you need to make trouble?"
[Navigation Wizard]: ...
That's right, although Richard was dead, she was still alive, and now he is not separated from her, which is fundamentally different from Zhang Zian's parents in the dream.
If it wants to see her, there are many ways, and it has been brought to the United States by Zhang Zian more than once, but it actively refused to appear in front of her, including that time at the airport.
It loves her, but it knows how to let go.
Of course, in a sense, no matter whether it is a dream or something, it is happy to see her again. After all, this is not reality, and it will not cause trouble to her in reality, and it is just like Zhang Zian said to his parents in his dream Like goodbye, its only regret was never saying goodbye to her, never saying goodbye formally.
Now, it says goodbye.
Although it is a unilateral farewell, what does it matter, this is its dream, as long as it untie its own knot.
Richard combed his feathers slowly, and when he looked back occasionally, he saw a pile of feces piled up in the corner of the birdcage, and he picked up a few blades of grass with his bird's claws to cover it.
"My uncle asks you, when will you let me go back? Your IQ is too low, and you can't pee in the same pot as me." It said leisurely.
[Navigation Elf]: According to our judgment, you are no longer suitable to return to the human world as an elf. We will try our best to find a new master for you in this world.
Richard tilted his head, neither surprised nor angry, but listened with interest, and then asked, "Why?"
[Navigation Wizard]: Because the favorability is too high, it is beyond the scope of design.
Richard exclaimed excitedly: "Is it because he has changed into the shape of my uncle?"
The light group was silent.
Richard said to himself contentedly: "Sure enough, you probably don't know my alias, right? Let me tell you quietly, my stage name is Jang Keun Suk... the bird is just like its name, you know."
It winked its eyes meaningfully at the light cluster.
[Navigation Elf] Changed the subject abruptly: Don't you want to say a few more words to her? Don't you want to spend more time with her? At this time, you are still very young, you can spend a long time together, and if you are sane, you can shock the world together, your photos can be on the covers of major scientific journals together, and you will become all kinds of people. The big TV stations are vying to interview the object, you can...
If other elves saw this scene, they would be amazed that the always concise navigation elf would say so much in one breath.
"Forget it." Richard interrupted unceremoniously, "I repeat again, what kind of bird is this uncle, how can he hang around in the unreal world? This uncle will never lie like that idiot." Myself, in this kind of illusory world, do you think I am a three-year-old kid in kindergarten?"
[Navigation Wizard]: ...
"Besides, my uncle has already done all the things you said. Although it was after death, didn't so many celebrities in history become famous only after their death? My uncle has already left his name in history, but you... have Who knows your name? Does anyone remember your name?" Richard chattered like a monk.
[Navigation Wizard]: ...
A good bird grows in its beak, and a good horse grows in its legs. When it comes to word of mouth, Richard never gives up.
Richard looked at Guangtuan repeatedly, "You should also be intelligent, right? How old are you this year? Where did you graduate? Do you usually do this kind of customer service work? It seems that there is no future... How much is the salary? What is the prospect of promotion?"
Then, it threw out a big killer that gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas: "Have you got a date?"
[Navigation Wizard]: ...
Richard fluttered his wings and quacked with a smile: "You are not too old, it's time to find a partner. If you really can't find a girlfriend, do you want to try a boyfriend? There should be more than one customer service like you, right? Did you get in touch with your favorite little brother?"
[Navigation Wizard]: ...
I don't know if it's an illusion, but the light group seems to be slowly retreating, trying to stay away from Richard.
Richard rolled his little black eyes slyly: "Oh, don't be shy, face yourself bravely, face yourself, and recall the moment when your heart was pounding... Sunshine, sports field, sweat, mixed with hormones The smell, the sharp muscle lines, and his hearty smile... It's time to abandon the fantasy of women, and men should play with men."
[Navigation Elf]: That...someone has applied for adoption for you, and they have come over and are waiting outside the door, you can leave this scene now.
For some reason, the tone of this light group seemed embarrassed. Although the expression could not be seen, the tone seemed to be in a panic, rushing to send Richard away.
Richard snorted, "Adopter... male or female?"
[Navigation Elf]: It is a couple who have no children and want to adopt more pets.
Richard smacked his lips, "Unfortunately, my uncle is not interested in married men, of course, if it is a husband and wife, let's talk about it..."
At this time, the door of the laboratory was pushed open again.
There were a few figures standing outside the door, some familiar to Richard and some unfamiliar. They seemed to have been listening at the door for a while.
Among them was a strange figure. For some reason, as soon as he entered the door, he stretched out his hand to the broom standing next to the trash can.
