Give the slag and accept the end

Recently, Su Ying discovered that Rong Ji was spending more and more time in the space. He "stayed" in the cabin every day like an idle worker with nothing to do, guarding the space with Su Ying. Building a fake home, eating fake meals, sleeping in fake sleep, raising a fake dog, going out to watch a fake movie that doesn’t mean much, and walking in a fake empty street with no effect.

Both of them knew that all this was false, but they both kept silent tacitly, and no one exposed this fact.

If it is punctured, the lover becomes a fake person, and love becomes a fake love.

If everything here is fake, then all the time spent here will lose its meaning.

Meaning is very important to a living person, even an artificial human like Rong Ji cannot escape its influence.

"What do you want to eat today?" Su Ying asked him enthusiastically.

Rong Ji was very appreciative of the fake meals made by Su Ying, and he always ate the bottom of the bowl clean, even if he was expressionless, it didn't affect his admiration for his craftsmanship.

"Noodles." Rong Ji said.

"Hey? Is it small noodles again? You've been eating it for two or three days in a row, aren't you tired?" Although Su Ying said that, he still rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to the kitchen to make noodles.

Rong Ji has always held the attitude that silence is golden, and he will not speak until there is a question that must be answered. This kind of greasy question is meaningless to him, so he will not answer it under normal circumstances.

At first Su Ying was not used to it, but later he saw that he was more silent, so he stopped asking him to respond, and often asked questions and answered them on his own.

But today, for some reason, Rong Ji joined in.

"It really hasn't changed at all. I have to eat what I like every day. I have to eat it to hurt..."

"Not tired."

While Su Ying was talking, he was stunned for a moment when he heard what the other party said, and turned to look at him.

I saw Rong Ji sitting upright, and repeated with a serious voice: "I still want to eat noodles, not greasy."

The current Rong Ji is quite different from before. Although he still has no expression, his speech is no longer as lifeless as a robot like before.

The emotions in the language have become richer, and I will start to use emotional words such as "I think", "I don't want to", and "I am more inclined", and I will continue to have personalized requirements.

For example, now, he will choose "I think" among a bunch of choices instead of "it doesn't matter" and "according to the analysis, I think".

Su Ying smiled and said with emotion: "I was wrong. You haven't changed at all, but you have changed too much. I think when you were young, every time I asked you what you wanted to eat, you said... "

[Whatever, it's all fake anyway. 】

"Whatever, it's all fake anyway." Rong Ji said.

Su Ying raised his eyebrows: "You still remember."

Rong Ji said, "I remember everything."

"All? Are you sure?"

Rong Ji nodded.

"Then I'll test you." Su Ying touched his chin with great interest, thought for a while, and asked him, "Do you remember the first time we met?"

"remember."

"Oh? How is it?"

After wandering around outside, Xiaobai rushed into the cabin, and excitedly climbed up and down Rong Ji's legs. Rong Ji not only indulged him, but also hugged him on his legs.

"It's all black, I can't see anything, I can only hear your voice." Rong Ji touched Xiaobai's head, Xiaobai rubbed his finger back and forth, rubbed twice and then stretched out Tongue came to lick, Rong Ji stretched out his finger to let him lick, "I thought at that time, you are very useless, I have not received any effective treatment from you, I only use it every day because I promised Dr. Sisley. come here."

Su Ying thought for a while, and said, "Well, you were really...cooperative back then."

Every day, I come to a dark space like a homework, meet a shapeless data man, and answer some meaningless questions.At that time, Rong Ji was more like a robot than a robot, no matter what kind of emotion he had, it would sink to the bottom of the sea, unable to arouse the slightest wave in his heart.

Come when the time comes, leave when the time comes, without any nostalgia, without any feedback.

At one point, Su Ying was disheartened, he thought he was going to spend ten years with Rong Ji in such a boring way.

"Until you appear in the dark." Rong Ji put his hand into Xiaobai's mouth, and Xiaobai played with him affectionately with his finger in his mouth, for fear of biting him, "The way you looked at me at that time was very indifferent .”

Su Ying was stunned: "Indifference?"

how is this possible.

Rong Ji didn't speak any more.

Su Ying in this world is not indifferent, because they have spent so many virtual worlds together, and Su Ying, who was just born at the beginning, is not what he is now.

When the original Su Ying appeared, he would care about him, comfort him, and hug him, but nothing could compare to those ruthless and indifferent eyes.The eager words and cold eyes made Rong Ji understand that all this is fake.

That is the care set by the program, the comfort of writing data, and the calculated hug without warmth.

At that time, Rong Ji knew very well that Sisley had made a failure.No procedure, no bullshit.

But Rong Ji at that time also understood very well that apart from this failed treatment software, no one in this world would listen to his heart, would care about his daily diet, and would give him a meaningless Comfort, or... give him an unconditional hug.

He knew it too well, so he just made do with it.

After using it, it became a habit, and this failed treatment procedure became a part of his life.

As an artificial human with almost no emotional needs, Rong Ji actually doesn't really need a treatment software to bring him any emotional comfort. He will stay with Su Ying simply because he is bored.

The world is so boring.

Just like some people write a diary to record their day, he chooses to tell Su Ying about his every day, no one will refute him, no one will order him, just listen to him quietly, He just felt very comfortable.

It was as if someone shared his boredom, and that boredom diminished.

That's all, nothing else works.

So later, Su Ying was destroyed in front of him because of the hurtful incident, and he felt nothing.After all, for him, Su Ying is just a tool to record his daily journal, and has no other function.

He did think so at first.

Everything changed after the Great War.

Leo and Rongxian died because of his heartlessness, and countless people were smashed to pieces in the universe, and he was slapped by Feruya, and he was scolded by countless people.

Everyone called him a ruthless person, said he was a devil from hell, and mocked him as an overly rational machine.

He endured all the accusations and insults from the families of the casualties, and at the same time shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding Huaying entrusted to him by Rong Xian, and tried his best to protect those people who regarded him as a devil and avoided him.

From then on, he began to want to talk, but he didn't know who to talk to.So, he remembered the treatment program that was destroyed.

Rong Ji asked Sisley to reprogram the treatment program, but the rewritten treatment program lost all functions. It didn't even have the function of asking and caring at the beginning, let alone comforting and hugging. The only thing it can do is to let He entered that black space and stayed quietly isolated from the world.

He made this treatment program randomly named "Su Ying" into a pendant and carried it with him at all times, and when he was free, he would go into the dark space and talk to himself.

He talked to himself day and night, said whatever came to mind, and talked a lot, so much that Rong Ji himself didn't know where he came from.

In this way, after spending several years in the black space, Rong Ji finally finished speaking.

He fell silent again.

And this treatment procedure will never say a word to him.

At the end of the silence, he became ill, would faint from time to time, and would have a blank mind and lose the ability to think regardless of the occasion.He was so sick that even Bai Ling, the father of the artificial man, became anxious, for fear that he would die suddenly and no one would take over Hua Ying.

So Bering called Sisley, and the two began to treat him.

Sisley saw that he was so dependent on that useless treatment program, so he spent a lot of time researching the composition of the virtual world and built a set of virtual treatment programs for him.

The virtual treatment program is divided into nine units, except for the ninth unit which is free to play and build by oneself, the others are all programmed and fixed.

All units simulate the human beings and stories in the real world, allowing Rong Ji to experience the emotions and lives of different characters in the virtual world, so as to stimulate his own emotions, guide him to experience the emotional reactions of normal human beings, and help him learn to be normal Organize and express emotions, and finally achieve the purpose of treatment.

The well-written stories are of course mechanical and ridiculous, and the well-written emotions also make Rong Ji feel strange.

At the beginning, he couldn't bring himself into the false stories, and he always felt out of place, so Sisley locked his memory during the treatment. During the treatment, he couldn't think of anything in reality, but after the treatment, he Able to recall stories of all experiences.

Therefore, when he recalled everything he had experienced in the virtual world after the first treatment, he finally had a rare fluctuation in his heart.

He said to Sisley: "I want to see him again."

"Who?"

"Su Ying."

Again and again, day after day.

The feeling of indulging in the virtual is very good, but the emptiness and loss after returning to reality made Rong Ji feel unbearable, especially later, when he learned that this virtual artificial intelligence program has autonomous consciousness, that huge sense of absurdity Let him know what to do.

He felt that he was the coward that Rong Xian said.

[All this is fake? 】After Su Ying had self-awareness, when he saw the real world for the first time, he asked him a painful question.

【Yes. 】

【What am I? 】

[Healing tool. 】

【tool? 】

【Yes. 】

He saw a humanized expression on Su Ying's face displayed on the screen, the complex emotions of love and hate, which even an artificial human like him was unable to express.

After Su Ying understood everything, he asked him with tears in his eyes, "Do you love me? Or do you just use me as a tool?"

Rong Ji still remembered his answer at that time.

He said, "You are a tool."

As a human being, he doesn't want to admit the fact that he's cowardly enough to need an emotional connection with a virtual program.

"I understand."

After Su Ying only said this one sentence, he became disheartened and self-destructed in front of him.

At that moment, Rong Ji's heartbeat stopped.

After he found Sisley and frantically rescued him day and night, he finally saved Su Ying's core data and reshaped it after all the hard work.

After Su Ying recovered, he asked him again: "Do you love me?"

It was just one more second of silence, and he saw that group of humanoid data disappearing in front of his eyes again.

"Is it delicious?" Su Ying smiled and sat at the table, watching Rong Ji eat the noodles.

Rong Ji nodded.

"Like it?"

Rong Ji nodded again.

"Am I okay?"

Rong Ji paused and nodded.

People who usually don't express their emotions suddenly express their emotions and wishes in an unusual way, which always makes people feel a lot of doubts while being moved.

Su Ying, who has experienced separation again and again, is always very sensitive to such information, as if he had such an intuition, after a smile, waves of uneasiness began to surge in his heart one after another.

Looking at Rong Ji's increasingly pale and haggard face, he swallowed the question that came to his lips, and replaced it with a relaxed teasing: "Then I'm so nice, you love...do you like me?"

He originally wanted to say "love", but he always felt that Rong Ji would not understand this word, so he changed it to "like" which is on the same level as liking noodles.

After Rong Ji finished eating the noodles, he pushed the empty bowl to the middle of the table and watched him without speaking for a while.

Su Ying was a little embarrassed by his straight eyes, smiled calmly, and joked with him: "If you don't like me, I won't make noodles for you. You have to choose carefully."

Rong Ji's expression seemed quite serious, he was silent for a while, and asked him hesitantly: "If I tell you what you want, you..."

He pursed his lips.Such a small gesture is quite rare in this young leader who has always been calm and steady.

"how do I?"

Rong Ji shook his head after a while: "It's nothing."

Su Ying leaned over dissatisfied: "It's nothing, you haven't answered my question yet."

After getting along for so many years, he is not too afraid of Rong Ji now, instead he will tease him from time to time, wanting to see some interesting fluctuations on his dead face.

"I have already answered."

"Answer what? Why didn't I hear it?"

"said."

"Hmm...'If I said what you want', did you mean this sentence?" Su Ying stood close to Rong Ji, leaning his elbows on the table, staring straight at him, stretched out Stretched out a finger to lift the chin of the unsmiling robot, "This is obviously a hypothesis, it doesn't count."

But Rong Ji's mouth was tightly pursed, and he didn't speak anymore.When he was about to pull Su Ying's hand away, he heard Su Ying continue to say: "It's fine, you don't need to talk, just give me a smile."

Rong Ji opened his eyes wide.

Su Ying took his hand back, stretched out two index fingers, and drew upwards on both sides of his mouth, then bent his mouth up, showing a toothy smile: "I said that when you like it, you will be happy. Happiness is what I see. You'll want to laugh."

After he finished gesturing on his face, he put his finger to Rong Ji's mouth: "If you like me, just smile at me. I haven't seen you smile for so many years."

Rong Ji opened his mouth and lowered his eyes: "I won't."

"No?" Su Ying laughed, "If you don't know how to learn, come, learn how to laugh with me."

As he said that, Su Ying gestured to him, showing him how to smile.It's a pity that Rong Ji is an unqualified apprentice, his face is sullen, and the more he looks, the more serious he looks.

Su Ying taught for a while but didn't teach anyone. He felt that it was boring to sing a one-man show by himself, so he returned to his non-smiling manner.

"Look at my face, you have this expression now, look, if I face you with this expression every day, will you be happy? Oh yes, you definitely don't know what happiness is... For another example, if you say When you want to eat noodles, I won’t make them for you. You... I guess you don’t care... You are such a difficult guy. Anyway, you can either say you like me or smile at me. If you can’t choose, then From now on, you will never see me..." Su Ying threatened the other party as if playing tricks, but it was just a joke, but stopped after driving.

He saw waves in Rong Ji's eyes.

Then, he saw the corner of the other party's mouth raised slowly and stiffly.

That kind of smile that didn't look like a smile reminded him of Yang Fei.

Unfortunately, what he said just hit the only pain point of Rong Ji, an iron man. Rong Ji's heart was throbbing with pain.

"Laughed."
