Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 852 Pygmalion
It took Luo Binhan a while to heal the grief caused by his friend's betrayal.He proposed to wander around the room, and Chen Wei could also take the opportunity to consider whether to help him—in fact, Luo Binhan didn't think about it himself.Of course he didn't want Yu Xiaorong to get involved in the cosmic melee between wizards and aliens, but giving her an Oblivion Curse for this didn't seem to make sense at all.Not very respectful of personal wishes, which is a secondary issue (they are not the kind of brother and sister who do not make mistakes to each other after all).It may cause Yu Xiaorong to suffer from mental illness at a critical moment, which is the most frightening thing.Yu Xiaorong is too good at digging out big troubles from small troubles.

"I know, I know." Luo Binhan said while flipping through the books on the bed, "The steps of your hypnosis definitely don't include giving her head up. But it's still quite scary to me, can you understand? It's like my sister The head has been moved, and it is no longer the original... The original is a very important indicator for us. I mean naturally. The accessories that are added later are always prone to problems."


He didn't really know what he was talking about, because he was busy flipping through the "[-] Weirdest Strange Events in the World".The book was very thick and the quality of the paper was rotten. It reminded Luo Binhan of the colorful booklets he could buy on the train when he was a child, full of hype and bluffing stories.There are also bootleg books that used to be bought on the side of the road, and even the names of the main characters are printed wrong.Luo Binhan didn't know where Chen Wei found such a book, or whether it was Chen Wei's book, but he had already become obsessed with the tone of this book's mysterious and nonsense.When he was talking to Chen Wei, his eyes quickly focused on the "Tennessee Witch Murder Incident".

"Oddly shaped dog," he read absently.

Chen Wei asked behind him: "Do you mean 0312?"

"No, I'm reading this." Luo Binhan shook the book towards her, "Are these yours?"

"No. Everything in this room belongs to the owner of this place."

"Then you're not the owner, then? Kofak says you live here."

"It's just a temporary stay."

This is actually in line with Robin Han's guess.But that made him even more curious about who took Chen Wei in.

"Who is the owner? Is it among the two people outside?"

Chen Wei's wine glass was empty at some point.But her appearance didn't seem to change, and she still asked with that terrible smile: "Which one do you think it will be?"

"I guess it's that foreign man." Luo Binhan said, "The girl at the door doesn't know you very well."

But he soon realized that there was a small flaw in this guess: foreigners may not speak English, but if you want to learn English, there is no need to buy a "English Vocabulary Encyclopedia for Level [-]" with a Chinese cover.The books scattered on the bed seemed to be all in Chinese.He glanced there again, and recognized a coloring book of "Father and Son" with pinyin, several books that taught people how to make drinks and baked goods, and a book called "The Hill" The cover of a thrilling novel , half-packed unshelled walnuts, and a clip doll that should be used to open walnuts.

All the characters on the objects are in Chinese, but it is difficult to say that there is any clear indication of age or gender.If a foreigner lives here long enough, he can completely arrange the room like this.

Luo Binhan's thoughts slipped away from the "Tennessee Witch Murder Case" temporarily.He stared at the pile of things on the bed, feeling that there was something special about it.The nutcracker in the shape of a puppet is a bit out of place in the room.It was so elaborate, a pirate figure painted in a blue dress with red buttons and a white beard, even painted in gold.

He didn't remember seeing such things in residents' supermarkets in Lihai City in the past, it was more like small souvenirs that would be placed in tourist shops.There are several similar ornaments in Yu Xiaorong's home, some are small gifts that come with Christmas shopping, and one is made by Malcolm himself, which looks like a miniature version of Yu Xiaorong.It is said that this is a traditional handicraft there, and it can also bless the safety of the family - the latter sentence is probably just used by Malcolm to coax the children.He couldn't think of any reason for a nut-cracking tong to keep the house safe.

Chen Wei didn't object, so he picked up the nutcracker from the bed.Through the pointed teeth painted on the doll, he could indeed see two faint pieces of metal inside.There is also a handle on the back of the figure, which is used to control the opening and closing of the mouth part, and destroy some microcosms hidden in the nut shell.

He grabbed the handle and shook it twice, pretending that the puppet was talking to him.It would be a needless waste to use this thing to hold walnuts, unless it was once the greatest enemy of the shopkeeper in his life and was cursed to become this gorgeous and exquisite nutcracker.No one can guarantee that such a thing does not exist, after all, he still has a cursed stuffed pigeon hanging in the bedroom of the Silence.

Luo Binhan slowly put the nutcracker back on the bed with a trace of respect.Now he was beginning to think that it was not out of the question that the red-haired outlander ruled the shop.Maybe he really came from outer space with a nutcracker made from the corpse of his sworn enemy.The first step is "Guns and Flowers" in King's Landing, and the second step can consider conquering the whole world.Learning CET-[-] is just a small phased task in this grand undertaking.

"Actually, I don't know the two people outside." Chen Wei said, "However, that red-haired man has been here for the past two days. I think he is a regular visitor here."

Robin Han expressed his disappointment.

"That means the owner is not here?"

"Going out, I suppose. It happens a lot."

"He doesn't think about making money, does he? He doesn't give a damn if I grab a few bottles from the cabinet as I leave."
"That will not do. It is my duty to stop the theft in my presence."
Luo Binhan stared at the shallow wine bottles left on the table, weighing whether some inappropriate remarks would lead to retaliation.In the end he decided not to say anything, because Chen Wei was obviously a frequent visitor here.For this shopkeeper who has no desire for money, Chen Wei is either a friend who is close enough to eat and drink for free, or a bully who has fallen from the sky and cannot be driven out.
He couldn't tell which kind Chen Wei would be.She has been very polite (especially compared to Jing Juan) since he first met her.She was doing (according to Momolo) a very noble work, and she was admired by Upsilon for having vanquished countless evils and saved countless lives.This is stronger than any visual evidence.But she always made him feel wrong, like seeing a rabbit with deer's horns.
Before he knew it, he started staring at Chen Wei's eyes again.And at the same moment, Chen Wei was watching him from behind the table.The dim light made her look not even a living person, but a beautiful statue carved from white marble.And the shadows on her face seemed to be painted on deliberately, forming a very unique expression on her face.In an instant, Luo Binhan felt deja vu.He had seen this expression before, but not on Zhou Yu's face, but closer.Hadn't Yale Liga seen him with a similar look not long ago?Like she felt sorry for him.And Chen Wei, perhaps because of the lack of eyes expressing emotions, appears more distant and objective.She was like a spectator witnessing a tragic performance.
Luo Binhan let out a few vague grunts at this thought.Even he didn't know what he was complaining about, no wonder Chen Wei asked him to say it again in doubt.
"Your eyes," Robin Han said, "just... do you know that your eyes are special?"
He didn't realize how stupid and awkward it was until after he'd said it, but that was exactly what was on his mind.And Chen Wei seemed to already know how he felt.She smiled like she was used to it.
"Eyes... or sight, to me, is a bit like a birthmark. Do you have that kind of legend? Birthmarks are marks associated with previous lives."
"And it's real? Including a mole on my stomach? I've always thought it looked a little like a gecko."
"That's two different things, Luo Binhan. Generally speaking, the wave of the trap belt is not enough to produce too obvious covenant phenomena. For you, you don't have to pay too much attention to things that cannot be proved, which should be more beneficial."
Luo Binhan can only express his regret.He originally believed that the mole on his stomach was slowly swimming from near the buttocks.Chen Wei glanced at Luo Binhan's belly with her pair of "past life tokens", and firmly rejected his theory.
"What if your eyes can see through?" Luo Binhan asked a little unconvinced.

"You can say that if you have to, but it's not the kind of perspective you think. What I can see is a more conceptual thing. If you use the words here to describe it, it should be..."
"Dao?" Luo Binhan said.
"It's 'law'."
Luo Binhan shrugged his shoulders, only a flat and shiny scalp appeared in his mind.He complimented wittily but not sincerely: "It fits your nickname quite well."
"That's two different things, Luo Binhan. The title 'Dharma Sword' actually doesn't belong to me, but a technique used by my master in the past. Because he no longer uses it now, and I am also the only inheritor of this technique, so That’s how it’s used as a calling name.”
"Understood." Luo Binhan said.But he also admits that he may not fully understand.

"Jing Huang and I come from the same country. You should know this, right? If you don't consider the issue of faction, we two can be regarded as the same sect. But let me explain in advance that I have never learned any other skills except master's swordsmanship." I am not officially registered as a disciple of the sect. So I cannot be counted as a member of the mountain people."

"But why don't you learn?"

"Because I was rejected by Chi County—it's not that the people in the mountains rejected me, but that the country itself didn't accept me."

"You mean, land?"

"It's not wrong to understand it that way. That's the thing. Just like other ancient covenant laws that can't leave the homeland easily, I'm just the opposite, trying to avoid returning to the homeland."
"Is that bad for you? I mean, besides you're not from the mountains, what's the problem?"
Chen Wei didn't answer, but there was obvious distress on her face.So Luo Binhan knew the answer that she didn't want to elaborate, and somehow, that suddenly made him interested in this matter.
"Why are you so special?" He nodded his eyelids, "Is this related to your previous life?"
"Exactly."
Luo Binhan speculated, "Were you a bad person in your previous life?"
"If all bad guys will be rejected by the land, there must be a lot more ancient laws that can operate outside."
Luo Binhan rubbed his eyes twice.He felt very familiar with Chen Wei's subtle irony when she said this.But as she sighed in annoyance, that illusion disappeared.Zhou Yu's unhappiness is always gloomy and cryptic, but Chen Wei doesn't seem to intend to hide her emotions.Her distress was as frank as her usual gesture.

"Although there is no need to hide these things from you, it would be too long to start from the beginning. To put it simply, Chixian didn't accept me because it would cause danger. Although after reincarnation, the nature of my personality has changed, But it's still the same thing in the eyes of the land, because what really matters is the concept that's associated. To put it metaphorically, different personalities are like differently decorated takeout boxes, and the concepts are the ingredients wrapped in it... Put it this way Can you understand?"

Luo Binhan decided to express his true thoughts frankly this time.He shook his head blankly but firmly, and at the same time, he did not forget to express his sincere praise.

"You're very shirtless," he complimented, trying to add a bit of positivity and friendliness.

Chen Wei didn't care about his futile efforts at all.She hesitated for a while, obviously wanting to say something, but in the end she just shook her head.

"Give up on me?" Luo Binhan asked regretfully.

"You are indeed the same as what Zhou Yu said. You have a very strange personality. But that's not the case. I was just thinking about how to explain it to you... There was a person with a bad personality who made up a story about my life experience. story, and told Zhou Yu that story.”

Without thinking, Luo Binhan said, "Then I want to listen too."

"No. That story . . . always felt like it was making trouble."

"Let me judge it?" Luo Binhan suggested with full expectation.

However, Chen Wei just shook her head with a smile.She obviously intends to keep this troublesome story to the end, but Luo Binhan is not particularly disappointed, because as long as a second person knows a secret, it will never become a secret again.When he goes back tonight, he will knock on Zhou Yu's door to listen to the story.

"Let me tell you a story I know." Chen Wei finally said, "Once upon a time, there was an invisible but powerful spirit, which was born from the consciousness of countless dead, so it did not have its own consciousness and name. Until one day, it was noticed by a witch who was proficient in magic and fashioned a body for it. Since then, the spirit has lived in human form and imitated human behavior. Maybe it is because it is not real Human, so it always wants to be perfect in what it imitates. It... wants to be a perfect human being."

"Perfect?"

"I can't think of a more suitable word for a while. To be specific, I want to be a 'person who conforms to human standards': see from a human perspective, act with human means, and judge with human morality. What is achieved in the end is also the achievements of human beings. Although all this is meaningless to spirits and monsters, in the matter of "acting as a human being", success must be universally recognized by human beings. Use human methods to become a recognized person .In layman's terms, it is to become recognized by the world without using the power of ghosts..."

"Hero." Luo Binhan said in a strange tone.

"But in the end it failed."

"Humph."

The room was silent.The pirate-skinned nutcracker looked at Robinson with its sinister, round, reptilian eyes.Its mouth was half open, and it laughed silently.

"If you want to talk about the main reason for the failure, I can't say for sure. What the spirit got is not a very suitable body, or in other words, there is no suitable body for it in the world, so it is actually difficult to act like an ordinary person. Except In addition, there are probably other obstacles, and the final result is not satisfactory."

"Failure is the mother of success." Luo Binhan said nonchalantly.

"After realizing that he could not fulfill his wish, the spirit monster completely gave up the life of the world and lived in seclusion in the mountains alone. Until one day, another dangerous spirit monster appeared in the world. The latter spirit monster went from being numerous to silence It appears from things that are still and still, and got a body made of solid stone long ago, so it is much easier to move than the first spirit. Instead, he created many stone-bodied beings as his kinsmen and servants. These stone-bodied beings were long-lived and tireless, and brought great disasters to mortals in the world. When the people in the mountains heard about this, they wanted to find ways to deal with it, and the spirits living in seclusion in the mountains also decided to help."

"Traitor!" Luo Binhan condemned.

"...Although there were many twists and turns in the process, the stone-body monster was finally defeated by the mountain people. Originally, the mountain people planned to destroy its body and make it an invisible spirit monster again. The misfortune will be much less. But when the hermit sees the stone body, perhaps because of sympathy, he is unwilling to banish it back to the nameless spirit. So it tries to transform the stone body Into another form. I think at first I just wanted to look like an adult, but maybe because my regret for not being able to do so was too strong, it began to unconsciously shape an ideal image: the body will not be corrupted by fragility, and the temperament will not be corrupted. Not distorted by essence, nor obliterated by force. Beyond that, to act with human skill and human morality. To fashion such a form from the husk of the old monster, it exhausted All the power at its disposal. At the last step, in order to make the molded body stable, it entrusted this matter to the mountain people, and returned to the hermitage, vowing never to meet with its own work again. Why do you have to do this? It is probably caused by the desire to pursue perfection. It seems that the imperfect creator will also destroy the work itself, and the best way is to make the two unrelated... No matter how much The first time I think about it, I still feel incomprehensible.”

"I understand." Luo Binhan said sadly, "I have read some revised editions."

There was the sound of cups and bowls falling to the ground outside the door.
