Perhaps he rushed forward with too much force, and a small crack was opened on the top of the "coffin". The cold liquefied gas inside overflowed from it. The surface of Ronggui's robot arm was visibly frozen, and a pale and stiff foot immediately hung out from the small crack. To be honest, the foot was thin and stiff, and looked like a dead branch, but Ronggui still held the foot immediately.
"My feet!" Ronggui screamed immediately.
"Can you still recognize it after it has become like this?" The robot behind him asked.
"How can you not see it! Look, my feet are so well-proportioned, and the second toe is as long as the big toe. It is said that most good-looking people are like this! Also, there is a mole under my little toe. It is not easy to see on the inside, but look, look..."
The robot behind Ronggui:...
How narcissistic must one be to know all the moles on the inside of his toes.
Not knowing what the robot behind him was thinking, Ronggui just caressed his body distressedly. He couldn't control the strength of the current robot body, so he touched it very lightly and slowly moved upwards. Suddenly, he was startled by the third leg that appeared in the coffin.
"Oh my god! Why is there another person here?" Ronggui almost dropped the thigh he was holding in his hand, but fortunately 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 middle, and the two bodies inside were temporarily placed together, and the owners of the bodies stood beside the table.
Without the light, Ronggui finally knew how to look at the environment around him with the help of the night vision ability that this body only had now.
"Where is this?" he asked blankly.
"Forty minutes and fifty-nine seconds." The robot standing opposite him suddenly said.
"Huh?"
"This is the time from when you woke up to when you asked this question." The robot said calmly: "Under the same conditions, normal people usually ask this question within five minutes after waking up."
Ronggui: =-=
Fortunately, the other party did not dwell on this question that might expose his IQ for too long. Soon, the guy who looked like a robot but was actually a person continued to talk to him.
"I have found your information in the freezer. You should be a patient who was frozen in the freezer on February 12, 2017 due to a serious illness."
"Huh?" Ronggui still didn't react.
As he said that, the short-limbed little robot on the opposite side suddenly stretched out a mechanical finger and pointed at his head: "You, it seems that this place is not good."
"Hey--" I know I'm not smart, but you don't have to keep hinting over and over again, okay?
Just as Ronggui was about to get angry, the other party continued to speak: "Part of your brain was infected with lesions that could not be treated at the time. At the request of your relatives, you fell into a coma and underwent the only solution for this situation at the time - freezing."
Ronggui suddenly raised his head: "Relatives?"
"The person who signed the original name was Rongfu. Because the freezing period was too long, the guardian changed hundreds of times in the middle, and then the guardian was missing, but they left enough money, which allowed your body to be preserved for a long time." The robot said, and put something like a card on the table: "This is the information about you that I extracted from the archives. You now have a reading port on your body. You can read it when you have time."
Ronggui looked at the small card and gently picked it up after a while.
Rongfu... This name is so familiar...
He couldn't remember it a little, but strangely, after he "thought" for a while, the image of a woman suddenly appeared vividly in his "mind".
Yes, that woman is Rongfu, the elder sister who grew up in the same orphanage with him...
Rongfu, who left the orphanage first and came back at a fixed time afterwards, is the elder sister of all the children in the orphanage.
And he is the second child.
Ronggui was stunned.
He looked down at the card in his hand, and after a while he looked up and asked the robot opposite: "Can you teach me how...how...to read this card?"
The other party did not refuse.
So, with the help of the other party, Ronggui carefully put the card into the card reader hidden under the cover under his chest. It was a wonderful experience. Almost not long after inserting the card, Ronggui found that he had an extra memory.
Rongfu's face appeared at the beginning of that memory.
"Agui, I made this decision for you. Your disease... cannot be treated with current technology. You can only choose to freeze it to delay it temporarily. Maybe there will be a solution in a few years?" Rongfu's face looked a little haggard. Although it was well covered with powder, Ronggui still saw it.
But later Rongfu suddenly smiled: "Don't worry, I will properly preserve your body, but if you wake up too slowly, your abdominal muscles may be gone. I can't do anything about this."
The video disappeared quickly. Then the following images are mostly of Rongfu. In addition to Rongfu, there are other brothers and sisters in the orphanage. They come together occasionally, but more often come alone to help him take care of his body, talk to him, and chat with him about everyone's recent situation, until -
Everyone gradually grows old.
Rongfu gave birth to a son.
Ronglu left everyone first.
Then Rongfu also left.
Then the next images are their descendants.
Some people began to call Ronggui "grandfather".
Gradually it became "great-grandfather".
Some people complained to him that they didn't want a child, but their ancestors had ordered them to have a child, and the child had to come and continue to serve him, the "ancestor".
Although he complained, he still gave birth to a child, and later he happily brought the child here.
The child was so beautiful, almost as beautiful as him!
In a short period of time, Ronggui read these past "memories" at a speed that humans could hardly reach, until the last person who took care of him died in an accident. After his death, he had no descendants, and the high insurance money was left to him for his subsequent treatment expenses...
The memories in the memory card were stored here.
Ronggui touched his cheek, and he could not feel anything.
There was no temperature, nor tears.
This metal body had no perception ability, let alone the ability to shed tears.
"You can pull it out after reading. Your brain capacity is a bit small. You can find a chip with larger capacity to expand it later." The robot opposite said to him.
Ronggui shook his head: "No, just leave it here."
"But your brain capacity is really small." The guy opposite said indifferently.
"So what? My brain capacity is not big! My advantage is not my head but my face and figure!" Ronggui replied unhappily, but he was stunned again after speaking.
Ah... yes...
He also said this when he was chatting with Rongfu. Whenever Rongfu taught him math problems and he couldn't learn them, whenever Rongfu started to knock on his head, he would answer with his neck stiff.
Another vague memory was restored from the depths of his memory.
It was a bit intimate.
He suddenly felt a little happy.
So when he raised his head again, he looked like nothing happened.
"So... 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 opposite just looked at him: "I can only answer one of your questions."
"I don't know what time it is for you now, because the year of your life does not appear in our history books, and now it is the 349th year of the Chaos Calendar."
He paused, and added after a while: "Today is February 14th."
It seems that he was probably trying to locate the time just now.
Ronggui was stunned. The other party continued: "Your illness should not be cured yet. All the parts above the neck are connected to special instruments by tubes. This research institute has been abandoned for many years. If the nutrient solution injected that year was not enough, you would have no signs of life." "So, the only thing I can tell you is why you became like this." "The day before yesterday, I accidentally entered here. The air here is not suitable for human life. Before my body was fatally injured, I found that among all the freezers here, only yours was still operating normally, so I put my body into your freezer and froze it together. As for how you became like this, it is my reward for sharing the freezer. If I hadn't sorted out your consciousness code and transferred it to this simple body now, you probably wouldn't be you even if you woke up." This sentence was a little complicated for Ronggui. Fortunately, he is now a robot. After using the repeat function to listen to it again, he asked blankly: "How did you transfer it?"
Then——
Although the other party's face was a funny mechanical face, Ronggui always felt that he still saw some contempt on his face. The next second, as expected——
"Although I can explain, I don't think you can understand."
The other party's voice clearly had no tone, but contempt could be heard in every word.
It was a pity that he couldn't refute it.
He raised his chest with difficulty with the robot body and made a deep breath expression. The next moment, Ronggui felt that he could talk to the guy opposite calmly again.
"Well, my brain capacity may not be enough..."
"But..."
He also found the place to set the time in his body, and adjusted the date according to the time the other party just said. Noticing today's date, Ronggui looked up.
"Just found out that today is a holiday. So..."
The robot opposite raised its head in confusion.
"Happy Valentine's Day." Ronggui smiled.
