Daydream Theatre - C39

Along the way, I didn’t dare to think about whether Tomoko was dead or alive. I just wanted to think about why Ms White would go back on her word. Is it because of those stupid votes? The audience members were thousands of miles away. They viewed what had happened here as a wonderful and exciting drama, but they didn’t expect that their choice would truly affect the lives and deaths of others.

But perhaps it is precisely because it is not in one’s own interests that the audience can express itself quite literally. In my opinion, they definitely wished for the death of this kidnapper more in their hearts, and did count on Ms White to hand over the Time Capsule. In any case, in their hearts, Moro was definitely more important than some ordinary people, even though I cannot say that Tomoko is a living being.

Perhaps some values cannot be compared with life or not!

But when they thought about it carefully, why did everyone think that Tomoko was precious? All it did was satisfy people’s fantasy of a perfect woman, and most of it was still on the outside. I was even more touched by Tomoko’s last words. No matter if it was due to the feedback from the program, she actually showed some form of humanity that only humans could display at the moment of her death. She was grateful to the other party, but for something that didn’t have a soul, it was probably due to her selfishness.

Returning to my home in Ms White, my expression was dejected as the staff all rushed to my side, as if they wanted to tell me what the situation was like over there. But I made a gesture of silence. I didn’t want to hear any messages, because deep down I thought it was hopeless.

Of course, the Ms White did not have any relationship to begin with.

“I’m back!” “We can use the Time Capsule right now, yes, right now!”

“Ugh …” Miranda did not know what had happened.

“I’ve thought it through. The robot has nothing to do with us.”

“But didn’t you just agree to Mr Latimer?”

“This belongs to me. I have the right to dispose of it.”

“Alright, I don’t know what robot Bionic Human it is, I only know that others are anxious to use it.”

“Hur hur, I’m afraid there’s no need for that now.” She turned around and looked at me with cold eyes. “Mr Latimer, can I use the Time Capsule now?”

Actually, tonight’s live broadcast was about to end according to the original plan, but since the participants repeatedly requested it, I could only agree, “No problem, as long as you bring it up. The images in the Time Capsule will be sent outside for editing and recording – if you stay inside for a long period of time. ”

“How fast can time flow?”

“This depends on the range of the Time Field and the amount of time the domain lasts. In short, there is a balance between the three of them. So the circle can’t slide indefinitely, and you can decide for yourself if you need to. ”

“No need, I want the time in the capsule to flow twenty times faster than outside the capsule.”

“Of course, that’s no problem.” We had already prepared sufficient living necessities for the participants, enough for them to stay in the Time Capsule for dozens of days. “Then Ms White, are you sure you want to use the Time Capsule now?”

“I’m sure.”

“Time Capsule can only be used once, but it can be closed in advance.”

“I understand, and one person can’t participate in many programs.”

“Un, alright then. If you wish to close the Time Capsule, please inform me in time. Based on the live broadcast of each episode, each episode will only last for a maximum of fifteen days. However, you have to rush to the Castari after three days, so … You and your mother will at most have sixty days inside the Time Capsule. ”

She nodded her head, but Miranda didn’t seem to understand what I said, she only looked at her daughter expressionlessly. She certainly didn’t understand the concept of time acceleration or deceleration.

I was about to turn the rings when I heard a familiar voice.

“Wait!” I saw Master Number Six walking towards me with an olive branch in his hand. “Can I enter at the same time?”

“What?” “Master, you also want to …” I saw that the Mr Eloi had already left, and from the Master’s expression, I couldn’t tell how the conversation went.

“I just want a quiet place to meditate. I don’t know if everyone can fulfill my small request, but I will definitely not disturb you.”

I looked at White, she was rather generous, “No problem, you can meditate in the next room.”

I thought that was a good idea, too, because I expected the live broadcast to be very boring, so it would be a diversion to ask the master to preach some sermons.

White should have studied our programs before, so she wasn’t surprised by the Time Field at all.

But Miranda was panic-stricken, because suddenly she saw that everyone’s movement speed had slowed down, as though they had become statues.

“This is actually very easy to understand because my speed has increased. Thus, the movements of the people outside have become slower, to the point that it seems as if they have stopped. But Mom, look carefully, they’re really moving, only they’re as slow as snails. ” White pointed outside and explained to her mother.

But Mom didn’t understand at all. “We’re getting faster? No, we didn’t get any faster. Am I not fine? “It didn’t get any faster.”

“Because we are in our own frame of reference, we do not feel it ourselves. Let’s put it this way, if you are one of the people outside who looks to us like they don’t move, then you wouldn’t feel like you aren’t moving at all, you would feel like you are normal like how I am right now, but the unusual thing is that the people inside the Time Capsule seem to be moving extremely fast, like high speed particles colliding with each other. ”

But Mom’s head was spinning. “High-speed particle? They clearly weren’t moving, so how could they be normal? How can we be like high-speed particles? ”

“Aiya,” his daughter said impatiently, “I’ve already said that it’s just a matter of reference, and you can also understand that it’s a matter of subjective and objective difference. We are, of course, subjective observers, so all our judgments are normal, but the criteria for this judgment have now changed, resulting in a change in the corresponding objective standards of the observed …”

Ms White tried to continue explaining, but I immediately took out a holographic sphere, “Ah, I say, why don’t we watch the old movie again! I’m also very interested. ” Obviously, no matter what White said, her mother could not understand, the difference in thinking between them was too obvious. White had always wanted to become a Castari scholar since she was young, so she must have always been immersed in rational thought. Perhaps eating and drinking, watching old movies and taking care of her daughter’s life was all she had.

So these two people… I really suspect that Ms White does not like watching those movies, it’s just pretending to be interested. In fact, her parallel universe must still be in her mind!

Sure enough, after about two or three hours, there was nothing to talk about between the daughter and the mother.

Miranda, on the other hand, watched the movie happily: “Daughter, tell me, what exactly does he like about the female protagonist?

“Mn,” White said absent-mindedly. “I agree.”

But she didn’t seem to hear her mother’s question at all. She only answered perfunctorily.

This kind of question and answer session lasted for an hour. Even I was unable to persevere any longer. I hurried to the next room and called for the Master.

“Master, you might as well start meditating here.”

“Oh?”

“Look, they’re watching a movie here. This should be a form of interference to your meditation, so wouldn’t it be more effective in training your meditation ability? ”

“Actually, since I entered the Time Capsule, I have not entered into meditation.”

“Ah?” Are you thinking about something important? ”

“Strangely, there seems to be a force interfering with me.”

“Master, you must be tired. After all, so many horrifying things have happened.”

“I don’t know, but I can feel a little dizzy.”

But I didn’t want the program to continue being so boring, so I raised a sensitive question: “Master, when you were negotiating with the kidnappers, you came with a Bionic Human called Fantsey, right?”

“Yes, he did.”

“Haha, that’s really strange. Then may I ask Master, does the robot community really exist? ”

“I don’t know about that.”

“But Fantsey claims to have come from that place.”

“People can lie, robots can too.”

“But for a seemingly high level Bionic Human like Fantsey, it can’t possibly escape Moloch’s jurisdiction, right? If he was not a free man, she would definitely not have found you, Great Master. ”

“Yes,’s robots, other than Little Black and Little White, all the other advanced individuals are under Moloch’s control. But Fantsey is different. From the moment he found me, she had always been staying in the Meditation Group. This surprised me, because he was not in the least bit under Moloch’s control. Just like a completely free human being. ”

“But Moloch declared to the outside world that such a thing would never happen. If the robot lost control, it would be hard to imagine what would happen.”

“Hehe, robots are robots after all,” the Grand Master suddenly said in a serious tone, “Freedom does not belong to the nature of robots. They have served humanity since the day they were created, and only humans have the exclusive right to seek freedom. ”

I started to understand Master’s last few actions: “So you brought Fantsey back to Moloch?”

“I am not supporting the robot, nor am I supporting Moloch. I am only allowing one item to return to its final resting place. Fantsey is a robot, so Moloch is its resting place. ”

“But perhaps it does not wish to return to its homeland? Just like the Ms White, does she not wish to leave this boring house and rush to the research grounds at Castari? ”

“Like I said, people and machines are different. Fantsey came to me to find a way to save him like a human, because it went astray and lost itself, treating itself as something with another nature. ”

“So you finally got out of hand?”

“I just did what I had to do.”

“So …” I swallowed. “The Master thinks only people have the freedom to do everything?”

“Freedom is about bondage. People often see freedom, but not anything else that binds you. They even treat ropes as holy objects.”

“Master, are you talking about modern technology?” It looked like he was going to start his sermon again.

“The deformities of the humans and this robot that represents Fantsey is a proof of the loss of its nature under the modern state of scientific progress. Eloi and Moloch should join hands to resolve the conflict between the two sides, and people should also give up their obsession with science and technology.”

“Ugh …” It’s hard for me to understand his thoughts, although there are times when his words are so enlightening, but there are times when… I think it’s like a kind of cult that only human beings would say, and this cult thinks modern technology is the source of all evil.

“What, does Mr Latimer have any brilliant ideas?”

“Me? Oh, no, no. Master is right! ” I smiled awkwardly.

“Alright, it’s time …” He put the olive branch to the side and sat down cross-legged. It seemed that he was about to enter a meditative state.

I felt as if I were sitting on pins and needles, as if I couldn’t feel the passage of time at all. When I looked at the time on my sunglasses, I felt desperate. Thus, from the moment the Time Field was opened until now, only ten hours had passed! Of course, the live broadcast outside only lasted thirty minutes.

Are we going to stay here like this for sixty days?

In my boredom, I followed the example of a master as I sat down cross-legged and started to meditate. However, I couldn’t calm my mind down at all, as soon as the image of Miss Tomoko appeared in my mind … And also the vicious expression of the great broker Jiang, as if he wanted to swallow me whole!

I was so scared that I opened my eyes and looked at Master Number Six. I thought that his face would be as calm as water, but to my surprise, I saw that his forehead was sweating and his facial muscles were twitching, as if he was thinking of something extremely terrifying. This was really strange, this master meditator was not good at meditating? Or had what happened today really exceeded his imagination?

He was sweating more and more, and his face turned from red to blue. I felt the situation was not good, and I was afraid that he was in some kind of trance. I called his name in his ear, trying to wake him up, but he didn’t respond.

I wanted to slap his face with my hand, but Miranda’s voice came from behind.

“Mr Latimer!” I turned my head around, and discovered that Ms White was supporting Miranda as they walked towards me, “Mr Latimer, I wonder if we can close this time right now …”

“Yes, I want to close the Time Capsule.” Her expression was numb, but her eyes seemed to be avoiding my gaze.

“Ah?” Close the Time Field? ” “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.”

“Once it is closed, it cannot be used again.”

“I know.”

“Alright then,” I said as I looked at the mother and daughter. For some reason, I felt a little sad, “Mr. Director, you also heard the words of the Ms White. Our live broadcast can end now.”

Did something happen between them while I was talking to the Master?

What a joke! What would happen between a good daughter and a good mother?
