The white shelves in front of them were thick with dust, which swept into the air with people's breathing. Bags of food and candy were scattered all over the slightly sloping smooth floor, dressed in dust like some kind of fungus.

Ruan Xian removed his shoes from a bag of chocolates that might be making noise, and shrank again, listening intently to the group of people outside. Unfortunately, after a few simple chats, the two men and one woman returned to silence, only the dull footsteps and breathing came in from outside.

The three did not find a small convenience store hidden in the corner, half-covered by ruins. They stepped on the broken glass balls on the floor and walked away towards the entrance of the main hospital building. At the same time, not far to the right of the hospital, there was a loud noise of the wall rubbing and collapsing, the floor shook slightly, and debris fell from the cracks in the ceiling.

The hospital seemed to be on the edge of a sea of ​​ruins, and the building that had just been blocked on its right side peeled off and moved to a new position. The air from the outside poured in along the gap, and the space no longer seemed so humid and stuffy. After confirming that the unidentified three people walked away, Ruan Xian stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go the other way." He took apart a towel and began to dust off the packaging. "There is a strong smell of medicine in the side hall. The pharmacy is probably there."

Now that he knew that Tu Rui was a rebel, his goal was clear. The three people who just passed by seem to have a clear destination. Before finding out the details of the other party, Ruan Xian did not intend to go to this muddy water at all.

Tang Yibu opened the door of the storage room and stretched most of his body into a huge box-type freezer, turning over the cans. Ruan Xian got a muffled "um" from the rattling jar.

Then he saw Tang Yibu probed too far, and slammed the whole person in, and the smoke that shook was like smoke from a flame.

Ruan Xian started to have a headache. Up to now, he has no idea whether the android is harmful or harmless in general. Tang Yibu lives like a cat that drinks too much, and he can never guess what the other party wants to do next.

The android turned to the drink he wanted and stepped out of the cabinet contentedly.

"We have limited time." Ruan Xian gritted his teeth and roughly wiped the packaging of the biscuits.

"But you're hungry." Tang Yibu shook his slightly long black hair, causing another wave of dust.

"I didn't!" Before Ruan's gossip could be said, his stomach grumbled in disappointment. "how do you know"

"Yesterday morning, you were shot to death by Major Ding once, and you lost a lot of blood. After that, you only ate half a piece of salted bean cake. The initial power is stronger, and the consumption is definitely the biggest. If you can't guarantee the calorie supply, your ability will have problems. "

Tang Yibu pulled open the mouth of the backpack and stuffed the cans neatly into it. "When we hand over the things, the food we can get may not be better. It's better to eat some of the food that I personally recommend to choose the highest calorie type."

The entire space is dark and oppressive, covered with dust and mold. Ruan Xian moved a few steps, and he could feel the softness of the dust on the ground through the sole of his boot. This is not a suitable dining environment from any point of view. "There is no ventilation here, and I have no appetite. Let's talk about it in another place."

Tang Yibu's golden eyes can be said to be the only light source in this dark space. Those beautiful eyes blinked in front of Ruan Xian, then turned around with their owner and returned to the storage room behind the small door.

Bang. Bang. wow.

Now Ruan Xian can distinguish these sounds, they represent the twisting of the steel bars, the depression and peeling of the walls, and finally cracking. It was followed by the sound of the wind blowing into the room, and the fresh air from the outside quickly squeezed in, and a little light overflowed from the storage room that was as dark as a cellar.

"Come." Tang Yibu greeted.

Ruan Xian hesitated for a moment before stepping into the brightened space.

There were two door-sized cracks in the wall. Tang Yibu removed a whole piece of the large freezer and stuck it in the crack covered with gravel. The android was sitting on the edge of the breach, facing the moonlight and evening wind, and patted the flat freezer fragments beside him.

Ruan Xian scratched his temples with his knuckles and walked over helplessly.

The unpleasant moisture was blown away by the dry wind. Ruan Xian put the backpack half filled with food between the two of them, sat down carefully, and looked at the scene in front of him.

Crazy, he thought.

They were at the very edge of the sea of ​​ruins, somewhere above the sky. As if sitting on the edge of the roof of a high-rise building, he looked down at the entire wasteland. It is vast and desolate, with a blurry horizon connected to the vast starry sky. Looking down, there are many irregularly piled buildings underfoot. The entire sea of ​​ruins rumbled forward like an ominous and slow giant train.

"It's very ventilated here." Tang Yibu whispered, reaching out and digging out of his backpack. The next second, Ruan Xian's face was stuck on the cold can wall, and Ruan Xian subconsciously took it.

The android nodded solemnly, and began to pull the backpack that Ruan Xian put down again.

Ruan Xian lowered his head and looked at the jar that was so clearly illuminated by the moonlight. Black and red packaging, a bottle of cherry soda. He had never drank this stuff before because of his constitution.

"We can leave the chocolate and butter cookies." Tang Yibu confirmed the calorie instructions on the package. "According to your information, thieves prefer heavy-tasting foods with a lot of additives, rather than high-calorie foods."

As he said that, he neatly tore open a packet of biscuits, and the rich butter aroma rushed into Ruan Xian's nose instantly.

Ruan Xian took the biscuits quietly and ate them in small bites. The unfamiliar heavy taste almost numbs his tongue.

"You were angry again just now, right?" Tang Yibu's way of eating was much rougher. He took a bite, his delicate face was puffed up, and his voice was indistinct. "I mean while in the cell."

"Yes." Ruan Xian opened the can, and the soda that had been sealed for several years made a long puff.

"Why don't you say"

"I do hope that you will discuss with me in advance. But the situation in the cell clearly does not allow time." Ruan Xian took a sip of soda, and was shocked by the bubbles pouring into his mouth, and almost dropped the jar.

"But I still upset you."

"I don't need your apology, we can skip this topic."

"I'm just curious that we all know that my approach is reasonable in terms of results, but you still act like you've been hurt." Tang Yibu raised his chin, letting the wind blow on his face better, muttering in his mouth. "It's amazing."

"I'm also curious, since you know that I'm not human, why do you continue to observe this?" Ruan Xian put down the biscuit bag in his hand and turned his eyes to the sky.

"You are imbued with human personality information. The human body is also a kind of machine in essence, memory is data, thinking habits are algorithms, and the two influence each other."

Tang Yibu crunched the biscuits, put down his drink, stretched out his hands, and gestured slowly towards Ruan Xian.

"As long as the memory data is not erased, until your thinking algorithm makes a huge change, this observation is meaningful. Just like we all know that tadpoles are destined to become frogs, but tadpoles themselves have observational value."

Ruan Xian took his eyes back, "Listen to you, you"

"Yes, I haven't been infused with any personality information, so I'm not very familiar with human thinking habits." Tang Yibu swayed his legs slightly on the edge of the hole, looking very comfortable. "I still want to apologize. I'm sorry for making you feel unhappy. In the future, I will try to discuss with you in advance, Mr. Ruan."

Ruan Xian kept quiet. His fingers touched the smooth packaging of the biscuit, folded it, and wrapped him tightly like a river of night wind. After a few seconds of silence, Ruan Xian turned his face and looked at the handsome face of the android beside him.

There wasn't much expression on that face, but it was more vivid than any human face he had ever seen.

There was no compliment, caution, pity, or fear, nor admiration or awe, on the android's face. Tang Yibu just stared at him like that, his eyes were pure and direct, and the corners of his mouth were still stuck with cookie crumbs.

"But in exchange, I hope you don't suppress your emotions in front of me in the future." Tang Yibu wiped the biscuits from the corner of his mouth and put his face close. His tone was very solemn, and the tip of his nose almost hit Ruan Xian's. "I can't get accurate information if you don't say how you feel."

"I won't be a good sample." Ruan Xian's voice was a little dry, he raised his head and looked at the starry sky again.

Tang Yibu froze in confusion.

"What do they make you feel?" Ruan Xian pointed to the clear and bright Milky Way above his head, the clean and clear night sky full of diamonds.

The android carefully drank the last sip of soda, and pressed down a burp in pain, still puzzled.

"Normal human beings will tell you that it is beautiful and worthy of praise in poetry. The magnificence and beauty of nature is shocking, and so on." Ruan Xian looked at the twinkling stars.

"Indeed." Tang Yibu agreed.

"But I can only see broken time. They are mixed with light from different distances. It's just a huge phenomenon. I can't appreciate its beauty." Ruan Xian slowly exhaled, "You should find a more normal sample. ."

"Why?" Tang Yibu sounded a little confused. "Maybe most humans will think this scene is beautiful, but will the aesthetic question be about normal or not? I remember this is a more personal attribute, and it doesn't involve whether it should be considered beautiful."

"Then I'll explain it another way. When I was young, I was shown a lot of pictures of dead bodies."

Ruan Xian looked at the wasteland in the darkness, digging out the memories that lingered in his heart. He remembered everything since he was conscious, and naturally he also remembered the personality tests that the medical institution had done for him.

"I didn't feel any fear or unease, although I was a little uncomfortable."

He was four years old that year, and a bleak 3D image flashed in front of him. From minor to serious injuries, to decay, from local to whole, from adults to children. And he just watched quietly, unmoved, without a trace of expression. The machine next to him honestly recorded his heartbeat and brain waves.

He was so confused at the time that he couldn't figure out why he was being shown such a thing. Do you want his help? They don't get it?

Why are those people looking more and more serious?

Maybe helping them out will keep them from frowning, adults are stupid and must be missing something.

The man in picture 74 was killed by a chainsaw, leaving very visible marks on the bones. According to the condition of the wound, the murderer is about 1.78 to 1.8 meters tall, and the dominant hand is the left hand. He worked hard to change his attack style, but the final few strokes were still obvious.

He dialed back the horribly deceased carrion and pointed it out.

Change the size of the chainsaw, attach it to the forearm, and wear height-enhancing shoes over four centimeters. Finally, the acid can be used to destroy the traces on the bone, and most of the evidence can be eliminated. And the murderer's technique is too rough, and most of them do not have the ability to deliberately disguise details.

Sadly, it's only a small part of the personality test, and the frowning folks don't want his help.

"They just wanted to see me scared, because normal people are scared. I didn't."

"Oh, you want to say that you should be afraid." Tang Yibu touched his chin, "In your memory, have you ever killed someone?"

"No."

"criminal behavior"

"nor."

"Then you've just been imbued with the memory of a dull human being, dull and not illegal." Tang Yibu judged unceremoniously, "Most human beings would not feel that the corpses in the slaughterhouse or the fresh meat shop are broken. , and cut off the genitals of plants and put them at the head of your bed until they rot and wither. You're just a little more obtuse on this basis. Strictly speaking, you are much more ordinary in memory than a felon in prison."

Ruan Xian was about to be mad at him. He really wanted to pull off the other party's collar and let the android experience what an anomaly is. But he couldn't find the words to refute for some reason, and his fists made of anger were slapped with cotton.

And behind that anger, a faint sourness gradually spread.

"As you like." Ruan Xian was suddenly a little tired.

"Do you wish you were abnormal?" Tang Yibu started the interview with great interest.

"of course not."

"Do you care about this kind of thing, you are still full of human thinking." Tang Yibu squeezed the drink can into a small ball and showed a faint smile. "Anyway, to me, dead flowers, dismembered livestock, and rotting humans are no different from rotting humans. They are all biological corpses, aren't they?"

""

The android threw the metal ball into the ruins below, and the corner of his mouth curved more. "In my opinion, humans are a relatively strong race, but it's limited to this."

"I thought you wanted to understand human emotions." Ruan Xian narrowed his eyes.

"Humans also want to understand the way other species express their emotions, but they still live in human ways. It's just understanding and learning." Tang Yibu packed his backpack, "Well, in another way that is easier for you to understand. You can put I see it as a zoologist who studies humans."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, "I want to pinch your face, can I?"

Ruan Xian wiped his face, out of some complicated emotions, he laughed. The other party doesn't care about humans more than he thinks, so can he take off his mask for a while and breathe indulgently?

"No." He said, pressing Tang Yibu's hand back to his side. "I'm full, let's go."

Tang Yibu withdrew his hand regretfully, "then we"

A sharp scream came from the depths of the hospital ruins, and the two quickly looked at each other.

"Go and have a look." Tang Yibu jumped up quickly and hurriedly packed his bag.

"Go and have a look." Ruan Xian nodded, "Maybe I can sell a few favors and ask for some news."

This time he spoke his thoughts smoothly.
