Chapter 570: A story full of complaints
"Um, did you know that Alice is actually the protagonist of a fairy tale?"
Suddenly, Alice said this. If Li Ming heard it at this time, he would probably say directly, "I know, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
But at that time, Jimmy had never heard of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". He had even heard more of various dramas and fairy tales... He seemed to have never heard of any fairy tale with the protagonist named Alice.
"It's the one about...seeing a rabbit...and following the rabbit up a beanstalk."
Jimmy completed the inspection of the first cabinet without much thought, while Alice was still recalling. It seemed that although it was a robot specially developed by the doctor, it seemed to have great limitations in memory. Just like humans, it would forget things.
I don’t know if it’s because the doctor restricted some of Alice’s permissions, resulting in incomplete functions and limited reading.
"Um... sorry... no, I haven't heard of such a story. Following a rabbit... that would be difficult. Wouldn't it be like crawling into a rabbit hole?"
Stunned by Jimmy's words, Alice paused, "Well... maybe... this rabbit is different! Anyway, the protagonist of the fairy tale, Alice, followed a rabbit in a tuxedo to the foot of a towering pea stalk. There was a hole in the beanstalk - the rabbit disappeared from that hole. Alice walked into the hole and found that there was a strong updraft inside the beanstalk! Alice thought: No, no, I will also fly up like Mr. Rabbit, what should I do with my skirt? When Alice was thinking this, a leaf on the beanstalk stretched out in front of her - the leaf dragged a beautiful glass bottle, and on the bottle was written in beautiful fonts: Drink it!"
[Alice] followed Jimmy, silently telling her own story. She was clearly saying that she was learning how to do maintenance, but she became more immersed in the fairy tale she was telling.
Releasing his hand and closing the door of cabinet number five, Jimmy stuffed the key into Alice's hand and said, "This is too suspicious... By the way... the next cabinet number five... do you want to... try the maintenance process yourself?"
The older [Alice] took the key from Jimmy and carefully opened the door of cabinet number five, "Okay, okay! There should be... no problem!"
"This... is to press the green button!" Although he didn't listen carefully just now, Jimmy had already operated it five times. Following Jimmy's previous operation, he opened the glass cabinet and took a look at the status bar, which showed a three-grid status. He asked Jimmy, and after Jimmy nodded, he directly pressed the green button.
"Yes, that's it!" Jimmy encouraged Alice with a smile, "Okay, then it's Warehouse No. 6... By the way, did Alice in the story really drink the contents of the glass bottle?"
"She drank it... and then... her soul flew out."
After recalling for a moment, Alice nodded and said.
The sudden plot development of this fairy tale made Jimmy's expression startled, "Spirit, the soul flew out!"
"…It should be a kind of magic in the story!"
Alice didn't expect Jimmy to be so frightened, and quickly said, "Anyway, Alice's soul followed the air current to the top of the beanstalk. When she wanted to look back to confirm the height of the beanstalk, she found that her body had caught up with it without her knowing when, and was lying on a flat bean pod!"
After taking a look at the gelatinous substance in the culture tank, Jimmy silently withdrew his gaze and secretly complained, "It feels like it has really become a ghost story..."
Alice, who had never experienced human society and could not distinguish between fairy tales and horror stories, was also a little surprised, her eyes widened, "...A ghost story? The doctor said that humans are afraid of the feeling of souls leaving the body... So that's how it is!"
The naive Alice thought Jimmy was afraid of ghosts, but Jimmy shook his head helplessly, "Rather than being afraid of this kind of feeling, it's better to be afraid of death itself. After all, no one in reality has experienced the "soul leaving the body" thing... In reality, it is synonymous with death."
After Jimmy said this, Alice nodded, "...I understand, but Alice in the story is of course not dead." It is obvious that Alice was deeply impressed by this fairy tale. "Alice reached out her hand and wanted to touch her body... Suddenly, with a bang, her soul and body were reunited! Alice stood on the pod that looked like a flying carpet, and the pod sensed her thoughts and carried Alice to the top of the white clouds. There, the pod grew against the wind and soon grew to the size of a large ship. A door also appeared on the deck of the pod, leading to a world of miracles. Alice entered the door. Inside the door was a staircase extending downwards. The light was very dim, and she had to be very careful to avoid falling. When Alice walked to the bottom of the staircase, she accidentally discovered that there was a line of very small words written under the flickering oil lamp at the corner of the wall: "Those who cross this door must abandon all external common sense."
Hearing this, Jimmy felt more and more that this fairy tale had a strong sense of déjà vu. "It feels like an adaptation of the story in The Divine Comedy."
"The Divine Comedy?" Alice obviously knew very little about the knowledge of the outside world, or in other words, very little.
Jimmy also knew this situation and continued, "That, that... is the sentence on the "Gate of Hell"... "Anyone who crosses this gate must abandon all hope."
"Give up all hope? What a desperate motto!" Alice felt a little sad, wondering why such desperate words were left in human works.
Jimmy just said awkwardly, "Because, because it's hell..."
Because it was difficult to explain to Alice what hell was, I could only continue to ask, "So, did Alice in this story cross this door of 'common sense'?"
"Well, the doctor said that because Alice is an adventurous girl, she thinks it's quite easy to 'give up common sense'."
Ha, ha, Jimmy curled the corner of his mouth and followed Alice to the next cabinet. There were too many flaws in this fairy tale. He suddenly envied Bianca's straightforward personality.
