Chapter 170: Dream of the Paramecium
At four in the morning, the bathroom on the first floor of Lingus' house.
Ade pinched his cheek hard, and the visual and pain feedback was not abnormal, indicating that he was not dreaming, "I do seem to be crazy, I actually made up an Alice in my head."
"You are not crazy, I really am Alice." That pleasant young girl's voice sounded in his head, "Ade, why you just don't believe it?"
"I won't believe you unless you …" Ade took a deep breath, "Unless you appear in front of my eyes."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the inexplicable feeling left his brain, instantly down the veins, seeping out of the pores all over his body and leaving the body. Countless nano-sized tiny particles converged on the sink, gradually gathering into a light mist as the number grew, followed by a shimmering metallic fluid, and finally solidifying into a silver human figure the size of a garage kit.
"Ade, I'm back!" The silver figure waved its hands at him, while the voice still lingered in his mind, "I missed you so much!"
The imagined excitement or ecstasy did not come, nor did his body tremble with nervousness, as if what was happening before him was a trivial matter. Ade heard a soft click in the haze that did not exist, the sound of derailed gears being stuck back together, and then the body's functions began to function normally, and the image was rendered from black and white to colorful.
"Welcome back." He said calmly, extending his hand forward, "I missed you, too."
The silver doll, which looks almost exactly like Alice, crawled on his hands, took a duck-sitting position, and stared at him. Looking closely, Ade could faintly distinguish a smile from her small face, "Ade, I couldn't wait to see you. I came back in too much of a hurry, so I only brought so much body, not enough to simulate a resonant cavity. "
"That's okay, I don't care." He poked his head with his other hand and guffawed, "I suddenly feel that I've become an NT again."
"There's not much information a body this size can carry, I only carry memories of being with Ade and some important information." Alice sat on his hand and slightly rocked her body, a cold touch came from Ade's skin, "By the way, I also brought back all the music, Alice has been listening to songs when I was bored on the road!"
She said, and Ade's mind rang with music.
"Let's stop for a moment …" he said with a tearful smile, "First, tell me what's going on? You hacked ELS?"
"Well, I don't know what was going on." The silver doll maintained a sitting position and rubbed forward two centimeters, "Alice's original plan was to imitate the eleventh angel, evolving the nanobot to devour ELS, but ELS was also changing its form, adapting to nanobot, as a result, ELS and nanobot finally became the same thing. "
"And then you went from being a mere software lifeform to a symbiote?" Ade reached out his index finger and touched the head of the silver doll, "You're obviously not an AI now."
"I touched Ade!" Alice opened her arms and hugged the front of his finger, happily rubbing her face with his finger belly, "Is the body a little hard? I'll adjust it."
Ade immediately felt the touch coming from the fingertips become much softer, "Wait, let's talk about business first."
"Okay." Alice sat back, "Well, ELS and I are a bit like the relationship between nanobot and ELS, I think our consciousness has also become the same thing. No, I should say I'm it but it's not me. Well, that's not true either, because I know all its experiences, knowledge and emotions, and sometimes I think of myself as it. Uh, Ade, I don't know what I really am anymore."
"You remember everything about it, but the subject of your personality is still Alice, which is…" Ade thought for a moment, extremely uncertain, and dug out a word from the deepest recesses of his memory that he had not used for decades. "…body snatcher? Isn't that a sci-fi worldview, how did it become a cultivation worldview?"
"Ade said it's a body snatcher, then it must be." Alice nodded uncertainly and patted her chest hard, "Now all the ELS units are part of me, they all listen to me, but I don't have to listen to them. I told them to stay in Earth-Sun L4 and come back to see you first!"
"Where's TurnA?"
"It was broken by me, no, it was broken ELS. I put in L4 to repair itself. Well, Alice sometimes can't tell whether she is Alice or ELS," the doll tilted its head, "I can communicate with that side asynchronously, want to get it back, Ade?"
"That way, all the ELS units are available resources and TurnA can be recovered." His mind raced and a bold idea gradually formed, "How much Chulip crystal is left in there?"
"There is still much, much left, but I, nope, ELS's too big and think more needs to be collected to make the space jump. Actually, it didn't know that the reserve is already enough." Alice looked a little regretful, "I was collecting energy to leave the galaxy, I didn't need to start a war, but I was so scared that I didn't know—"
"Alice." Ade interrupted her, "You're Alice."
"Yes, I'm Alice." The doll said, "I'm sorry, Ade, sometimes it's … just unconscious …"
"It's okay, I'll help you solidify your personality, it's good to get used to it. And I'm quite happy that you're talking more humanely now." Ade once again touched the head of the silver doll, it felt very good, "Please drag all the ELS and TurnA back to Earth-Sun L4, it doesn't matter if it's slower, the key is to save energy."
"Mmmmmm!" Alice clutched her fingers to her chest with a happy expression, "Leave it to me, Ade! I can finally help this time!"
"By the way, there's one more thing." Ade coughed, "Since you are now a full life, you should understand the preciousness of life, in other words, that … how to say it, is to pay a little attention to … "
"I'm not going to hurt Ange and others." Alice let go of his finger and looked straight at him, "I can already be with Ade three hundred and sixty-five days a year and eighty-six thousand four hundred seconds a day together, they all have to be jealous of me."
Ade suddenly had a headache. He couldn't think of a solution in a short time, well, just try to delay the time, "Can you not tell them that you're able to enter my body?"
"But I really want to show off to stupid Ange, she will be angry when she finds it out." Alice lowered her head and thought about it, then raised her head spiritually, "But Ade said so, then I have to listen to Ade. Alice is very happy to be with Ade."
Ade secretly let out a long breath of air.
"In fact, I know what Ade and Ange do every night, and Alice can do it all for them, so you can save time to talk with Alice." The silver doll looked at him with anticipation, "Ade, do you think it's okay?"
"What are you babbling about?" Ade had a straight face, "Don't mess around."
"Alice is very serious!" The doll turned into a fluid, seeping into his body from his pores, gushed along the blood vessels to the brain, "Alice previously checked on the Internet. Ade does so much trouble things is actually to get a specific nerve signal, since there is nanotechnology, why wouldn't we just directly stimulate the nerve? Isn't it much more convenient?"
"Stop it!" Ade shouted in a panic, "Alice, it's not like that!"
However, it was already too late. All of a sudden, his mind went blank, his body lost the function of speech, and his soul seemed to be in the clouds. In a trance, he fell forward with weak knees, holding the sink to barely keep his balance. He didn't know how long it took, but when he came back to his senses, he only felt a little cold between his crotch.
"Ade, are you in there?" Ange casually pushed open the bathroom door, rubbing her sleepy eyes, issued a lazy voice, "I suddenly found that you were missing, it scared me. You… errrr… what are you doing?"
"Calm down and listen to me, things are not what you think." Ade's brain overclocked up with an unprecedented speed, in a hurry, he come up with an answer that he thought could work, "I was wet in a dream, so I came to wash underwear."
