There Is No Afterlife

Jimmy suddenly pointed at Mugen and yelled. Following his line of sight, Olivia's eyes finally fell on Mugen's colorful thick coat.

When did you buy women's clothes? Where did it come from? Olivia frowned.

Why? It was ripped from a robot applying a facial mask in the corner...ah!"

Mugen suddenly shouted, almost at the same time as him, and Jimmy also screamed!

Miss Duolai! What happened to you? Why are all your clothes taken off! ? "

Jimmy's screams were so violent that people who didn't know would probably think that Miss Duolai in his mouth had experienced some terrible experience, such as being raped first and then later.

A drop of cold sweat slowly trickled down from Mu Gen's forehead, and he already had an ominous premonition in his heart. A second later, his premonition became reality:

He saw the man being held by Jimmy.

That person is the owner of his clothes, the female robot wearing a facial mask.

Ms. Duolai, who was suspected to be a robot, was moved out of the corner by Mugen and Olivia.

She was very heavy - that was the first thing Mugen noticed.

Her skin was still human skin - something he later confirmed.

Miss Duolai applied the mask again and fell asleep. "Jimmy said as he skillfully took off the mask on Miss Duolai's face. The face revealed was very familiar to Mugen - it was the same Miss Duolai in Baiyunduoduo's memory, but there were some differences: The face in front of her was much older than Duoduo remembered, with wrinkles on top of each other. This made it difficult for Jimmy to remove the mask - the mask was caught in the wrinkles!⊙▽⊙

Jimmy turned Ms. Dole over and played with her neck for a while. Then, something happened that surprised Mugen even more:

Miss Duolai, who was motionless like a robot, suddenly moved her neck, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Completely different from her old appearance, her eyes were like newborn blue, extremely clear and the color of the sky.

The moment she saw Jimmy, she was stunned for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.

Great, Miss Duolai, you are alive again! "Jimmy said in surprise.

Hum...what to say? Even if you die, I can still live for another five hundred years! "Although her voice was a little weak, Ms. Duolai was in good spirits, and she even smiled.

That is! The mechanical heart produced by our company is very durable! It won’t be a problem to use it for six hundred years! "Jimmy said proudly.

But, this year is already five hundred and ninety-eight years..." Staring at the roof, Ms. Duolai didn't say anything for a long time after finishing these words.

Jimmy didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, he finally remembered that there seemed to be two young guests in the room besides him and Miss Duolai, so he hurriedly pushed Mugen and Olivia away like a savior. Arriving in front of Duolai.

A visitor is looking for you! "

oh? "Hearing this, Duolai finally sat up. Her movements were very difficult. Just a simple supporting movement took a lot of effort. Mu Gen reached out to help her in time and helped her sit firmly. stand up.

Thank you. "Just like Duo Duo remembered, Ms. Duo Lai was a very polite lady. She instinctively thanked Mu Gen for helping her. After a while, she noticed Mu Gen's floral coat and praised:

Nice taste and I like the coat too. "

Why? ah! Sorry—" After hearing this, Mu Gen hurriedly took off his coat and put it back on Ms. Duolai.

However, your temperament is more suitable for wearing solid color clothes. Blue and white are good choices. On the contrary, your friend next to you is more suitable for such a large floral pattern. My coat will look better on your friend than on you. . "Ms. Duolai is obviously very good at dressing up, and she didn't forget to spread the word during times like this.

No need to talk! I have no interest in women's clothes. Let’s talk about serious things! "Waving her hands, Olivia just turned the atmosphere serious again: We brought back the Baiyun Duoduo!"

The smile on Duolai's face slowly faded.

Do you know where all the people who lied to me with false news have gone? "

Look, Ms. Duolai! "

The serious threat and the young man's hearty gesture blurted out at the same time. Without noticing the change in the other person's expression, Mu Gen took out the big head of the Baiyun Duoduo... that he had been carrying on his body from his backpack!

As a result, a pair of owners and spaceships who had not seen each other for hundreds of years reunited unpreparedly.

☆、Chapter 42

——42——

Ms. Duolai was stunned.

After a moment, she slowly raised her arm and caught Duoduo's big head.

Covered with wrinkles and age spots

The palm of her hand gently touched Duoduo's metal head. She touched it so carefully that even the tiniest scratches could not escape the feeling of her palm.

In the process, Mugen told Ms. Duolai one by one how they discovered the Baiyun Duoduo.

In the dark edge of the galaxy, that lonely, scarred ship, the White Cloud Duoduo, destined not to be discovered by others, how much he wanted to go home.

After telling everything he saw and knew, Mugen carefully watched Ms. Duolai's reaction. He thought she would cry, but she didn't. She just looked at Duoduo's head carefully, extremely seriously.

Mu Gen thought that Ms. Duolai's attention was all on Duoduo and would not notice her sight, but he was wrong.

I can no longer shed tears. "Completely understanding what Mu Gen is thinking now, Ms. Duolai said to him.

My eyes were blinded three hundred years ago and I can no longer see anything. "

Now these eyes are mechanical eyes. Although they can still see, they can no longer shed tears. "

Ms. Duolai raised her head, pointed at her eyes, and finally winked her right eye mischievously.

Seeing her like this, Mu Gen felt a slight sting in his heart for no reason. The sensitive Ms. Duolai immediately noticed his mood, and she shook her head:

The human body is just like a machine. If it is used for a long time, problems will occur sooner or later. I just replaced it with a new part. "

The first thing to fail was the heart. After being declared dead by the doctor, she resolutely decided to replace it with a mechanical heart. The next thing to age was the blood vessels. After the thin, human blood vessels could no longer bear the extra stents, she had all the blood vessels replaced. It became a mechanical substitute; next came the stomach, then the eyes...

The only things he refuses to change are his appearance and brain.

The face was the one Duoduo had seen since she was a child, and her mind was filled with precious memories.

No matter what, she wanted to live and wait for the child to come back.

Even if it becomes a pirate ship, the nominal owner of the child is still himself. As long as he does not die, he will not be an ownerless spaceship. Even if he is discovered, he will not be treated as an ownerless spaceship.

So she can't die no matter what.

Even if living has become a very painful thing for her, she must not die.

But, it’s still sad, right? She can't cry, so there are so many sad robot dolls crying for her.

Looking straight at Ms. Duolai, Mu Gen was so lost in thought that he completely forgot to hide his gaze.

Quietly staring at Mugen and Olivia who were lost in thought, Ms. Duolai smiled gently at Mugen and Olivia with a kind of gratitude that only belonged to a mother on her wrinkled face.

You are all good kids. "

thank you all. "

Thank you for bringing this child back—"

She hugged Mugen and Olivia gently. Her body smelled slightly of engine oil, and her body was stiff as steel, but her palms were soft and still had the warmth that only humans can have.

After finding the number Baiyun Duoduo she had longed for, Ms. Duolai couldn't wait to see him. However, the snow was too heavy and thick last night. In addition, Jimmy also suggested that Miss Duolai continue to apply a facial mask to remove wrinkles before meeting Duoduo, so they waited patiently until dawn.

Not long after the sun came out, Mu Gen heard a rustling sound coming from outside. He opened the door curiously and took a look: it was actually robot dolls sweeping snow!

Can these robot dolls shovel snow? It’s so awesome! "Mu Gen turned his head excitedly and placed his hands on both sides of the window. He hurriedly called Olivia to come over and take a look.

Of course, the robot I made! How is it possible that only the face can be seen? "Facing her field of expertise, Ms. Duolai is full of confidence.

Listening to her words, Olivia silently turned her eyes to the miserable faces of the robot dolls outside: He actually felt that these robots only had faces but could not see...

As they spoke, they had already walked outside the tavern. It's even more spectacular when you go outside. There are robots plowing snow on every street. Except for their crooked facial features, these robots' snow-clearing movements are really very dexterous. From a distance, they look like real people.

These children are charged using light energy. There is a charging port under each person's feet. This excuse is connected to the light energy collector on the outside of the building through special pipes. The weather has not been very good these days, and there has been no light, so they have insufficient energy, otherwise what you would see would be robots walking around. "Ms. Duolai introduced as she walked. Since both she and Jimmy had to use crutches to walk, they didn't walk very fast. This made it easier for Ms. Duolai to guide them along the way.

The shop on the corner is old Kenny's shop, and the screws on Duoduo's body are all bought from his shop. "Having lived here for hundreds of years, no one knows this place better than her: now it is old Kenny who clears the snow in front of his store."

ah? "Mu Gen was stunned.

I made a robot like old Kenny and put it in his shop. "Ms. Duolai immediately explained to him.
