"Then go ahead."

It said, "We heard the story of "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" in "The Thousand and One Nights" yesterday. We just heard that Alibaba's brother Gosimus entered the cave to carry the treasure because of greed, but forgot to open it. The spell at the cave’s gate was discovered and killed by robbers--what happened next?"

In fact, this story has been heard many times.

But Pepe kept talking, and it listened with interest.

When Alibaba got the news of his brother’s death, he was strangled for Alibaba; when the robbers knew that someone had stolen Gosem’s body, followed the vine and found Alibaba’s home, he also followed Pepe in fear; when finally witty When Markina's maid figured out a way to wipe out all the Forty Thieves, she and Pepe took a sigh of relief for the Alibaba family.

In the depths of its thinking folds, there are countless pearl-like bulges, which are its nerve synapses.

When it is sleepy, these "pearls" will emit a dim yellow light, when it is angry, these "pearls" will emit a bright red light, when it wanders the stars and feels bored, these "pearls" will emit The faint blue light, when it is very rare to feel nervous, these "pearls" will alternately emit short and dazzling seven-color lights.

As for now, the colorful and splendid light is flowing slowly, turning the depths of the thought folds into a beautiful lake, representing that it is deeply indulged in the girl's story, two completely different thinking modes , Or say that two souls who are different from each other softly replied and resonated deeply.

"In this way, Alibaba told his children and grandchildren the secrets of the treasure house in the mountains. They have passed on from generation to generation, continue to enjoy the endless wealth in the mountains, become the richest family in the city, and live happily all the time."

Pepe put two pink lotus root feet in the brain waves visible to the naked eye, as if he was really playing with the clear lake. "Alright, the story of "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" is finished. , Do you still want to hear new stories, Shannuya?"

In the past, it always had to listen to Pepe telling three or five stories in one go.

But today, for some reason, it seems that a strange lightning flashes through its huge and bloated neural network, causing it to give birth to a new and very strange idea.

"No."

It said, "I don't want to hear new stories, I want to... ask some questions."

"problem?"

Peipei was startled slightly, Shannuya rarely asked her questions, let alone in such a serious tone, "What do you want to know, Shannuya?"

"I still don't understand the story of "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves"."

It said, "Why does the bandit leader hide so many treasures secretly instead of sharing them with his companions? You are not saying that'treasures' are very important to your race and can be exchanged for everything, but the most Something that makes you happy, so why hide happiness instead of sharing it with everyone?"

"This……"

Pepe blinked, her small face floating with embarrassment and confusion.

"Also, if Alibaba wants to share happiness, why not just ask the bandit leader for it?"

It asked again, "Anyway, the bandit leader has so many treasures. Later, the descendants of Alibaba couldn't use it for hundreds of years. Therefore, when Alibaba asked the bandit leader what he wanted, the bandit leader had no reason to refuse. Right?"

Pepe's lips pursed, the tip of her nose curled up, her brows wrinkled, and her face flushed.

"Markina, the witty maid, is obviously not the bandit leader. Why do you want to deceive the bandits hiding in the urn?"

It continued to ask, "In other stories, you have told me that cheating is not right, and it is not right to hurt each other, but here, Marchina first deceived the robbers, and then used hot oil to treat the robbers. Kill them all-your race is different from mine. Once you die, all your memories and inheritance will disappear. It is a complete annihilation. Why did Markina do such a cruel thing? It seems to have been praised by everyone. ?"

"That's because the robbers want to kill the Alibaba family, including the maid Marchina!"

Pepe finally found a question that could be answered, "This is a tactic. It is a good person killing a bad person. How can it be considered cruel?"

"Strategy?"

It thought, "It is a kind of carbon-based intelligent life. In order to kill another kind of carbon-based intelligent life, the information blocking, information interference and information misleading implemented by every means? But how to determine which carbon-based intelligent life is good? Which is bad? Does the good have to kill the bad?"

Peppa couldn't tell again.

The girl bulged her cheeks and froze for a while, looking at the bewildered green light of the other's nerve synapses, she could only raise her hand to surrender: "I don't know, Shanuya, these stories are a long, long time ago, mine The ancestors wrote when they were still on the earth, and they talked about things when they just got rid of ignorance. There are many concepts that I don’t understand, and I don’t understand why they are doing this... cheating on each other, hurting each other, and possessing what they use Something less than.

"Perhaps, maybe they weren't really ‘smart lives’ at that time, but a group of dumb fools, often doing unexplainable stupid things.”

"Perhaps, your race is a little stupid, and many things can't be explained."

It said, "For example, why do you call me a "Void Hunter"? I have never hunted. If "hunting" is a kind of carbon-based life, it will prey on another kind of carbon-based life. , Then my race has no concept of'hunting' at all. You should know that we only eat planets, directly smashing and devouring spar and minerals, and do not need to eat other carbon-based life."

"I don't know. It was a long, long time ago. At that time, our ancestors had just escaped from their destroyed homes, and were scared by the vast universe, and you looked like us again. It’s so different."

Peppa said, "Probably my ancestors were afraid that your maternal body would hurt them, like a hunter catching prey, so I call you "Void Hunter", right?"

"It's weird, because we look different, so should we be afraid?"

It thought for a long time, but still couldn’t understand, “However, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves obviously look the same. They are both of your tribe, but they have to beware of each other, deceive and hurt each other-you also said that your ancestor I have never seen any alien race in the sky before, and their biggest enemy is themselves, so what reason is there to be afraid of a stranger who has never known them before and has never harmed them?"
