Chapter 924 Another Kind of Spiritual Citizen
Lu Yao got off the shuttle bus.
Facing the car door is a clean and wide lake. The willow trees and grass beside the lake have been carefully taken care of. Some stone benches shaped like folded coins are scattered around the lake.
This was the first time Lu Yao encountered a community-specific shuttle bus. Showing the owner's dynamic QR code allows him to scan the code and ride.
This is Heron Island in the ecological lake in the south of the city. There are two long bridges leading to the outside. If you don’t drive, you really need such a transportation tool.
There are a few houses and a golf course built on the island. It is backed by the Ecological Lake Park and is also commonly known as the wealthy area of the city.
Song Shiyi lives in one of the flat floors with a lake view.
Lu Yao and Isabel took the elevator to their destination and saw the door open.
"welcome."
Song Shiyi was wearing loose green printed short-sleeves and a pair of black shorts. Her hair was draped over her shoulders, and a band-aid was stuck across the bridge of her nose. She is different from her usual dress with exquisite details, and has changed into a more friendly girl-next-door style.
Because she didn't apply powder, her dark circles suddenly stood out, and her skin looked more delicate and natural.
She said: "The Executive Directorate is calling for support and needs Lord Lian Zhenxing's ability. Wei Yingxue will come later."
Lu Yao nodded and looked around the room.
Song Shiyi's house has two floors, with an area of more than 200 square meters.
The interior is very empty, with gray wooden floors and creamy white walls as the main color here, and there is not much furniture. The living room next to the floor-to-ceiling windows has three rows of leather sofas in a circle. The three rows of sofas are red, yellow and green, which are the only bright colors in the room.
This reminded Lu Yao of how when he was a child, he also liked to surround himself with books or pillows.
Between the sofas is a large white coffee table that can accommodate one person.
There was a 100-inch TV on the wall, but there was no power.
Next to the TV is a surprisingly large double-door refrigerator.
There are no decorations around, no carpets, no picture frames, no potted plants, no storage boxes, only a clothes hanger, on which Mingzai squats and takes a nap.
Apart from the living room, the other areas are completely abandoned like some kind of under-budgeted exterior set. The kitchen didn't even have a stove or any cooking utensils, and the open doors on both sides of the corridor were also blank.
The breath of life is limited to the living room area.
Song Shiyi lived in such a place.
Lu Yao asked: "You just moved in not long ago?"
“No, I lived here before I joined the committee, for five or six years.
Song Shiyi opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of Coke and handed it to Lu Yao: "I remember you drank this brand when eating."
"Thanks."
Lu Yao took the drink and noticed that the refrigerator was full, with various drinks, dairy products, and a lot of fruits.
That means Song Shiyi lived here when she was in the girl group.
She handed Isabel a bottle of ice mineral water.
"I used to be a dancer, so I was away from home most of the time. I often slept in the car and at work."
Song Shiyi's face showed a nostalgic look: "But I only remember what happened before I was 14 years old. At that time, I practiced dancing and singing every day, and took photos as required. It seemed that I had endless things to do. In fact, I still prefer to be in When I’m in school, I’m more relaxed, and I quite like reading and doing homework.”
Lu Yao was confused: "You don't like dancing?"
"dislike."
Song Shiyi said this with a somewhat confused look on her face: "I don't dance well, I don't sing well, and I have been forgetful since I was a child, but many people praise me."
"At the time, I always thought it was just a compliment, just like those aunts who always say little girls are beautiful. I knew that I had no talent in this area, my balance was not good, and I sang out of tune. When I was very young, I became a volunteer for the committee , I was very happy at the time, it was similar to the feeling of a magical girl in reality.”
"It wasn't until my parents told me that there was a special company that wanted to package me and let me perform and dance on stage. That's when I realized that they didn't want me to sing or dance, they just thought I was good-looking and lovable. So I just want my image to be on stage. Even the dance teacher said that whether you can dance well or not is another matter. What matters is talent."
"The talent they talk about is another kind, like 'three long, one small, one tall'. That means long arms, long neck, long legs, small head, taller height, and then the skin should be fair enough. It’s also important to look good.”
It was also the first time that Song Shiyi took the initiative to talk about her past.
She seems to be more relaxed in this environment.
From the perspective of an audience, Lu Yao felt he understood.
The most important thing about stage performance is the visual effect. Eighty percent of the information people receive depends on vision. Having strong professional abilities is great, but good looks can attract more people’s attention immediately.
Song Shiyi suddenly came back to her senses: "Ah, let's take a foot bath first?"
"here?"
Lu Yao looked around and saw no footbathing bed in this place.
"Mingzai."
Song Shiyi calls.
The bird took off from the clothes hanger, flew all the way into another room, and soon returned from there.
"Master, you are ready."
Song Shiyi stood up and said, "Mr. Huang, Miss Mary, let's go over there."
Following her, Lu Yao found that the empty room there had turned into a small pool. The inside of the room was much lower than the outside, and there was a circle of shore around it. The room was filled with water, and there were many fish the size of fingertips swimming.
Song Shiyi took the initiative to go over and sit on the shore. She took off her slippers and put her legs into the pool. The fish came over and rubbed around her legs.
Lu Yao had heard of fish therapy, which is small fish eating dead skin, but this was the first time he tried it.
He rolled up his pants and stepped into the water. The fish surrounded and bit him, bringing a tingling sensation, but after getting used to it, it felt quite comfortable.
"When you feel tired, do a foot massage, then go for a massage, then have a sauna, and drink a bottle of cold beer."
Song Shiyi made a gesture of drinking a glass, squinted her eyes and said: "Most of the troubles accumulated from a day's work will disappear like this."
What Lu Yao cares about is: "Wasn't this an empty room before?"
"No."
Song Shiyi said: "Apostles live here, but they are usually on the side of Xuzhou. Sometimes they come here to stay for two days. Mingzi just called one here. His ability is related to water, which is very suitable for foot massage."
Lu Yao looked at the fish in the water suspiciously: "Then these fish..."
"They are normal star fish, which are kissing fish specially used for fish therapy."
Song Shiyi said solemnly: "Don't worry. They are all very healthy fish, I promise."
Lu Yao couldn't help but think that these were not empty rooms, but houses that could be transformed and customized at any time.
It seems that the whole house is not a lonely golden cage at all, but Song Shiyi's private paradise.
Her life is very comfortable.
Song Shiyi suddenly said: "Actually, after meeting you, I found that my old god curse seemed to be weakening... because my memory was recovering, not really recovering, but I would not forget some things."
"At first I thought it was related to Miss Mary. Because when I saw Miss Mary, my related memories would recover quickly, and everything about Miss Mary would become clear immediately. So I always wanted to get closer to Miss Mary, because she was not only very similar to me, but also made me normal."
"But gradually, I found that when I met you, it was the same situation."
"So later I wondered, could it be that Miss Mary was not the reason, but she followed you? Because the authority of the godhood is the basis for lifting many restrictions. I had a physical examination and found no other abnormalities, excluding other factors."
"Later I wondered if you hold the title of [Hou Yi] or a similar title. So it will have some kind of reaction with my [Moon God], which will temporarily prevent the curse power launched by Chang'e from taking effect... But these are all my wild thoughts, or it may just be because the power of the Moon God is gradually fading with age."
Lu Yao listened silently.
Sure enough, Song Shiyi's old god curse came from Chang'e.
It turns out that this is also the reason why she has such an inexplicable affection and attraction for Isabel.
Song Shiyi supported herself with both hands, adjusted her sitting posture, and looked over: "Mr. Huang, what do you think about the ancient battlefield site?"
Lu Yao said: "I have no opinion."
Then he talked about the things he learned about the Monument Man from the Mix people.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Song Shiyi took out her mobile phone and began to record seriously.
Lu Yao repeated the local situation, and then said: "The source of the Monument Man is the shadow of the star projected by the ecliptic star track, that is to say, the Monument Man is actually a kind of servant. I remember that Teacher Zao said that the Monument Man is the ancient human of the Xuzhou, the source of the human beings on Earth, which seems to be contradictory."
Song Shiyi's lips tightened slightly.
"No."
"Mr. Huang, have you ever thought about why humans are so passionate about building houses? Whether in the Stone Age or in the information age, people are always keen on building various buildings, whether they are functional caves, houses, bridges, dams and granaries, or tombs, totems, memorial landscapes with greater cultural significance... It seems that the development of technology and the expansion of cognition have not changed this instinct of human beings."
"Humans are full of innate enthusiasm for architecture. When seeing tall and magnificent buildings, they will feel fear and love. Some people say that it is a symbol of accumulated strength and wisdom, and that architecture is a three-dimensional symbol."
She looked at her feet surrounded by small fish in the water: "We now know that the human body is just a carrier, serving the DNA information in the body. Human growth, reproduction, and aging cycles are all predetermined programs set in the body."
"We think that's our own thoughts, but in fact, it's just the implementation of the instructions set by the DNA in our bodies. We choose each other because of smell, visual judgment and compatibility, which are the external manifestations of genetic information."
"In other words, we are just mobile houses built by DNA."
Song Shiyi gently shook her legs, and the fish scattered, but soon gathered again: "Just like them, appetite makes them show a kind of convergence. No matter how you disperse them, they will eventually gather together."
Lu Yao suddenly realized a possibility: "You mean, our own construction is also like this?"
Song Shiyi nodded: "This is our instinct rooted in our body, the information and mission implanted at the beginning of the birth of the human race, but it sounds ridiculous. People are not born to survive, nor are they great evolutions, but to build."
"The earliest ancestors of mankind, those ancient humans, were doing this. Their existence and continuation of life were all for the core upper goal, building, building all kinds of buildings."
"Whether it is a pit or a tower, building and maintaining houses is the meaning of our existence, and houses are physiological desires that must be satisfied, just like appetite and lust, which is more hidden. This phenomenon runs through human history. In every era, people have used this instinct of human beings to make profits."
"We are another kind of spiritual people."
This conclusion is so outrageous that the more Lu Yao thinks about it, the colder his back gets, because it may be true.
It is said that people do not live for houses.
But Song Shiyi's conclusion is that people really live for houses...People are consumables, and houses are important finished products.
Lu Yao said, "We are not spiritual people."
Song Shiyi nodded: "According to what we know, the output rate of spiritual people in the past was not high, and it is impossible to achieve the same order of magnitude as us. The earliest ancient humans in the virtual universe have been discovered. They came from the depths of the virtual universe, a place near the over-limit zone in the border zone."
"We came from that chaotic land. This is the earliest source that has been confirmed so far."
Lu Yao suddenly remembered what the Kitchen God said.
-What kind of civilization can continue in such an extremely strong ecological space as the border zone, and build a safe order to restrain and check other races?
The ancient humans in the virtual universe once established a powerful civilization in the border zone.
And that place was originally a special space area formed by the explosion of the Spirit King, and it was also the place where the power of the zodiac star track radiated.
Humans are the descendants of the Hongyi civilization.
Lu Yao drank a mouthful of ice cola to calm his feverish brain.
After all this time, we are the ones who come with bad intentions?
