The Sabbath

Chapter 3: Today is a holiday

Probably because he rushed over too hard, he knocked a small crack open on the top of the "coffin", and the icy liquefied gas inside overflowed from it, and the surface of the Ronggui manipulator was slightly frozen to the naked eye. A pale and stiff foot dangled out from the small slit immediately. To be honest, the foot was dry and stiff, and it looked like a dead branch, but Ronggui immediately supported the foot.

"My feet!" Ronggui screamed.

"You can still recognize it like this?" Behind him, the robot asked.

"Why can't you see it! Look, my feet are so well-proportioned. The second finger is as long as the toe. It is said that most people with good looks are like this! Also, look at my little toe. Mole, it's not easy to see on the inside, but look at you..."

The robot behind Ronggui:…

How narcissistic it is to be able to know the moles on the inside of your toes.

Not knowing the thoughts of the robot behind him, Ronggui just caressed his body distressedly. He couldn't grasp the current strength of the robot's body, so he touched it very lightly and slowly moved up. Suddenly, he was caught in the coffin. The third leg was startled.

"Damn! Why is there still a person here?" Ronggui almost lost the thigh he was holding in his hand, but he caught it again.

"Ah, that's me." A metallic voice came from behind him, and the robot spoke again.

Ronggui, who was holding his thigh, was stunned.

The translucent coffin was placed upright on the table in the center, the two bodies inside were temporarily placed together, and the owner of the body stood by the table.

Without lights, with the help of the night vision ability that this body has now, Ronggui finally knew how to look at his surroundings.

"Where is this?" he asked dumbly.

"Forty minutes and fifty-nine seconds." The robot standing opposite him suddenly said.

"what?"

"This is the time from when you wake up to when you ask this sentence." The robot said flatly: "Under the same conditions, a normal person will usually ask this question within five minutes after waking up."

Honor: =-=

Fortunately, the other party didn't dwell on this issue that might reveal his IQ for too long. Soon, the guy who looked like a robot but should actually be a person continued to talk to him.

"I checked your information in the freezer. You should be a patient who was put into the freezer for freezing on February 12, 2017 due to a serious illness."

"Huh?" Ronggui was still a little unresponsive.

Saying that, the small robot with short limbs on the opposite side suddenly stretched out its mechanical finger and pointed at its head: "You, it seems that it is not good here."

"Hey—" I know I have a bad mind, but you don't need to keep hinting over and over again, okay

Ronggui was about to get angry, but the other party continued to speak: "Part of your brain was infected with a lesion that could not be treated at the time. At the request of your relatives, after falling into a coma, you performed the only solution for this situation at that time - freezing. "

Ronggui suddenly raised his head: "Family?"

"The name of the person who signed the original name was Rongfu. Due to the long freezing period, the guardian changed hundreds of times in the middle, and then the guardian disappeared, but they left enough money to keep your body for a long time. Come down." The robot said, and put a card-like thing on the table: "This is the information about you that I extracted from the file. You now have a reading port on your body, and you can read it when you have time. Look."

Ronggui looked at the small card and grabbed it gently for a while.

Rongfu... This name is so familiar...

He couldn't remember it a bit, but strangely, just after he "thought" for a while, the image of a woman suddenly appeared in his "mind".

Yes, that woman is Rongfu, the elder sister who grew up with him in an orphanage...

Rong Fu, who left the orphanage at the earliest, but came over at a fixed time later, is the elder sister of all the children of the orphanage.

And he is the second child.

Ronggui was stunned.

Looking down at the card lying in his hand, after a while, he raised his head and asked the robot on the opposite side, "Can you teach me how to... how to... read this card?"

The other party did not refuse.

So, with the help of the other party, Ronggui carefully inserted the card into the card reader hidden under the cover under the chest. This was a wonderful experience. It was almost not long after inserting the card, Ronggui found that he had more a memory.

Rongfu's face appeared at the beginning of that memory.

"Agui, I helped you make this decision. Your illness... The current technology can't cure it. You can only choose the freezing method to delay it temporarily. Maybe there will be a solution in a few years?" Rong Fu's face It looked a little haggard, although it was well covered with powder, but Ronggui still saw it.

But Rongfu suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, I will take good care of your body, but if you wake up too slowly, your abdominal muscles may be gone. I can't do that."

The image soon disappeared.

Then the following images are often of Rongfu. In addition to Rongfu, there are other brothers and sisters in the orphanage. They occasionally come together, and more often they come alone to help him take care of his body, talk to him, and in the process I'll also chat with him about everyone's recent status until—

Everyone is getting old.

Rongfu gave birth to a son.

Rong Lu was the first to leave everyone.

Then Rongfu also left.

The next image is their descendants.

Some people began to call Ronggui "Grandpa".

Slowly became "Grandpa Zeng".

Others complained to him that they didn't want children, but their ancestors had to have a child, and the children wanted to come over and continue to serve his "ancestor".

Although he complained, he still gave birth to a child, and he happily brought the child over afterward.

That kid is so good-looking, almost as good-looking as him!

In a short period of time, Ronggui read these past "memories" at a speed that is unattainable for human beings, until the last person who took care of him died in an accident, and there were no descendants after death. Left it to him for his follow-up treatment...

The memory in the memory card is also stored here.

Ronggui touched his cheek, but he couldn't feel anything.

No temperature, no tears.

This metal body has no sensory ability, let alone the ability to cry.

"You can pull it out after reading it. Your brain capacity is a little small. You can find a larger capacity chip to insert and expand it later." The robot opposite said to him.

Ronggui shook his head: "No need, just let it be here."

"But your brain capacity is really small." The guy opposite said inexplicably.

"So what? My brain capacity is not large! My advantage is not my head but my face and body!" Ronggui replied angrily, but was stunned after speaking.

Ah... yes...

This sentence, he also said when he was chatting with Rong Fu, whenever Rong Fu taught him math problems, he couldn't learn it, and whenever Rong Fu started knocking on his head, he would slap his neck. Answer this.

Another piece of originally vague memory was repaired from the depths of his memory.

Kind of.

He suddenly felt a little happy.

So when he raised his head again, he looked like he was okay again.

"Then... what time is it now? How did I... become like this? Is my illness cured?" He finally remembered to ask these questions.

Not interested in other people's privacy, the robot on the other side just looked at him: "I can only answer one of your questions."

"I don't know what time it should be for you, because the year of your life does not appear in the history books here, and now it is the 349th year of the Chaos Calendar."

He paused for a while, then added: "Today is February 14th."

It seems that 80% of the time he went to locate the time.

Ronggui was stunned.

The other party continued: "Your illness should not be healed yet. All the parts above the neck are connected by tubes and special instruments. This research institute has been abandoned for many years. Signs of life."

"So, the only thing I can tell you is why you became like this."

"I accidentally entered here the day before yesterday. The air here is not suitable for human life. Before my body was fatally injured, I found that all the freezers here were only yours still functioning properly, so I put my body in Your freezer has been frozen together. As for how you became what you are now, it is my reward for sharing the freezer. If I hadn't sorted out your consciousness code and transferred it to this simple body, you probably wouldn't have woken up. It will be you."

This passage is a little complicated for Ronggui. Fortunately, he is a robot now. After listening to it again using the repeat function, he asked dumbly: "Yes... how did it transfer?"

Then-

Although the other party's face was a funny mechanical face, Ronggui always felt that he still saw a little contemptuous expression on the other party's face. The next second, as expected—

"Although I can explain, I don't think you understand."

The other party's voice was clearly without any tone, but every word could be heard contempt.

Too bad he couldn't refute it.

Using the robot's body to undulate his chest with difficulty, he made a deep breathing expression. The next moment, Ronggui felt that he could calmly talk to the guy on the opposite side.

"Well, my brain might not be enough..."

"but… "

He also found a place to set the time in his body, corrected the date according to the time the other party just said, and noticed today's date, Ronggui raised his head.

"I just found out today is a holiday. So..."

The robot opposite looked up in confusion.

"Happy Valentine's Day." Rong Gui smiled.
