Chapter 1722

"Hell! Still no call?"

It was pitch-black all around. Like most other birds that were active during the day, Richard, who was also night-blind, had been waiting in the dark for a long time, making him anxious and stuffy.

"Gah! Is there anyone there? Idiot, where are you?"

It didn't know how many times it had asked at the top of its voice, but there was still no response.

"What a ghost! That idiot must have been talking about the cat in the black box all day and got his retribution. But even if it's retribution, he should be locked in the black box with the other naked man. Why should it be on me?"

In fact, the surrounding light was not completely dark. If it was a cat or a dog, it should be able to see a lot of things. Even an ordinary person with average vision would not be so blind. However, it could not be helped. Its eyes were the worst at sensing dark light.

In order to get rid of the boredom and the panic in its heart, it tried to find joy in the midst of suffering. It jumped on the spot and muttered to itself,"

"I've already thought of the experiment content. Before Qianqian opens the black box and observes it, you'll never know if he's connected to another naked man in the 'connected and disconnected' superposition state! I'm really a genius. Maybe people will use my name to name this experiment in the future, and it will be called ... Richard's gay?"

It felt that the layout here seemed a little familiar, but it was not the first or second floor of the Pet Shop that it often stayed in. Otherwise, it would not fall with its eyes closed. It really did not dare to fly around here. What if it hit something and broke its neck?

At that moment, a door suddenly opened, and the light from the corridor shone into the room. Before Richard could react, the curtains were pulled open.

The room instantly turned from night to day.

The morning sun shone through the window and illuminated the room.

"Hey! Little fellow, how did you sleep last night?"

A wise woman in a white coat with slightly curly hair stood by the window. The sun coated her figure with a layer of golden outline, like a Holy goddess.

Richard was stunned, his eyes and brain frozen at the same time.

She had a folder under her armpit. After pulling open the curtains, she opened the folder and wrote something with a pen, as if she was planning for the day.

"Let's see what today's mission is ... Hmm, are you ready to face a new challenge? But let's have breakfast first. "

Her image was younger than it remembered.

Memories flooded into its mind in an instant.

If it remembered correctly, at her age ... The experiment should have just started not long ago. She was just an ordinary scientific researcher, and it ... Was just a grey parrot bought from a pet store.

It didn't know how long the so-called "just" was, because at that time, its mind was not fully developed, and its concept of time was very vague. It might have left the Pet Shop for the laboratory for half a year to one or two years.

Yes, even the current laboratory was very different from the later stages, so it did not have a deep impression.

She put down the folder and brought a small box to its cage. The box contained a mixture of vegetables, fruits, and nuts.

She looked a little tired. After she went home yesterday, she probably read books or worked on research until late at night. She didn't want to be like this, but the research on the intelligence of gray parrots had stagnated and her funds were burning. She had to re-reflect on what went wrong in her research direction and where to improve.

Needless to say, the most important role in the experiment was the grey parrot. Its state determined the success or failure of the experiment.

Sometimes, for example, when the experiments were fruitless for several days, she would stare at it for a long time in a daze. She couldn't help but wonder if this grey parrot was the ideal experimental subject. After all, there were differences in the individual intelligence of humans. It was normal for her to buy a not-so-smart parrot by chance.

If that was the case, it might be the right choice to change to a parrot as soon as possible.

Perhaps some people would say that there was no need to change, and that they could just buy a few more grey parrots to be experimental subjects.

In fact, it wasn't that simple. Grey parrots were very smart, so smart that they wouldn't easily trust people, let alone cooperate with experiments. When buying grey parrots, you had to get familiar with them first, and when they trusted you, you could start the experiment. The time and cost were incalculable.

She had limited funds and manpower. Objective conditions didn't allow her to choose a large number of parrots for years or even decades of experiments.

And ... She could tell from its daily behavior and eyes that it was a very smart parrot. Maybe it just needed more patience and time.

"You ... Didn't sleep well last night? You look terrible. You should rest more. " Richard muttered.

Clang.

The small box, along with the vegetables, fruits, and nuts inside, fell to the ground.

Her eyes widened in shock, and her mouth formed an O shape.

Oh my God! It ... It just spoke? And he even said it so well? Am I dreaming?

From the moment she greeted it after entering the room, she didn't expect it to respond to her words. She just greeted it as usual and talked to it as much as possible from morning to night so that it could adapt to the environment.

As a smart grey parrot, of course it could speak, but what it could say now was still far from being able to prove its intelligence.

However, the two sentences just now came out of its mouth so naturally. The words were right, the pronunciation was round, and the meaning and context were impeccable. It was no different from another person talking to her.

How was this possible?

She stared at it in a daze, wondering if there was something wrong with her brain. Was she hallucinating because she was too eager to make progress in the experiment?

"Can ... Can you say one more sentence?" She pleaded with her eyes.

"No problem," said Richard with a smile,"as long as you're happy ..."

She was so excited that she almost fainted. She paced back and forth at a loss and covered her chest as if she was afraid that her heart would jump out of her chest.

Unfortunately, the assistant was on leave today and did not witness this scene. There were no surveillance cameras in the laboratory at this time.

"I'm sorry. Let me get you something to eat. After that, we can talk more, okay?" She finally calmed down and said with a smile.

"Alright," he said.

She picked up the vegetables and fruits on the ground and threw them into the trash can, then hurried out.

"Doctor ..." It spoke again.

She stopped and turned around.

"I'll always be here waiting for you. I won't go anywhere. You know that, right?" It said with a smile.

She also smiled."I know ... I'll be back immediately."

No one was more eager to talk to it than her. Her painstaking efforts had suddenly paid off far more than expected, but as a scientific researcher, she restrained her ecstatic mood. It had not eaten breakfast yet, so she had to be patient and not so eager for quick success.

She was going to prepare another breakfast for it, then take the camera and record her conversation with it. It would be a documentary that would shock the world.

Her figure disappeared in the corridor, and the laboratory returned to silence.

Richard looked up at the ball of light floating on the roof and said disdainfully,""So, is this a dream or some other trick? What kind of bird am I? how could I be trapped in a dream for so long like that idiot? You brat, don't underestimate this great master!"

The [navigation elf] was speechless.

Richard said,'the living live while the dead die. For her, I'm already dead, and life and death are different. The dead shouldn't interfere with the life of the living, it's just adding to her troubles ... Otherwise, if I want to see her, I can go see her myself, why would I need you to cause trouble?"

The [navigation elf] was speechless.

That's right, although Richard had died before, she was still alive. Now it was not separated from her, which was fundamentally different from Zhang Zian's parents in his dream.

If it wanted to see her, there were many ways. It had been brought to the United States by Zhang Zian more than once, but it had actively refused to appear in front of her, including the time when they had met at the airport.

It loved her, but it knew how to let go.

Of course, in a sense, whether it was a dream or something else, it was happy to see her again. After all, this was not reality, and it would not cause her any trouble in reality. Just like how Zhang Zian said goodbye to his parents in his dream, its only regret was that he never said goodbye to her. He never officially said goodbye to her.

Now, it was saying goodbye.

Even though it was a one-sided goodbye, it didn't matter. This was its dream, and it would be fine as long as it unraveled the knot in its heart.

Richard was slowly combing his feathers. Occasionally, he turned back and saw a pile of feces in the corner of the birdcage. He covered it with a few grass leaves with his bird claws.

"Let me ask you, when are you going to let me go back? Your IQ is too low, you can't even pee in the same pot as me. " It said leisurely.

[Navigation elf]:"according to our judgment, you are no longer suitable to return to the human world as an elf. We will try our best to find a new master for you in this world."

Richard tilted his head. He was neither surprised nor angry, but listened with interest. Then he asked,""Why?"

[Navigation elf]: because the favorability was too high, it was out of the design range.

"Is it because he's already in my shape?" Richard cried out excitedly."Is it because he's already in my shape?"

The ball of light fell silent.

Richard muttered to himself in satisfaction,""As expected, you probably don't know my alias, right? I'll tell you a secret, my stage name is Zhang genshuo ... Birds are just like their names, you know. "

It meaningfully winked at the ball of light.

The [navigation elf] suddenly changed the topic,"Don't you want to talk to her? Don't you want to spend more time with her? "At that time, you're still young, and you can spend a long time together, and it'll be when you're clear-headed. You can shock the world together, your photos can be printed on the cover of major scientific journals together, you'll be the subject of interviews by major TV stations, you can ...

If other Elfins had seen this scene, they would have been surprised that the navigation elfin, which was always concise, could say so much in one breath.

"Save it," "I'll emphasize it again," Richard interrupted rudely."What kind of bird am I? why would I stay in the Unreal world? I've never lied to myself like that idiot. Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid in a kindergarten who has achieved success in this illusory world?"

The [navigation elf] was speechless.

"Besides, I've already done all the things you said. Although I did it after my death, didn't so many famous people in history become famous after their deaths? I've already left my name in history, but you ... Who knows your name? Does anyone remember your name?" Richard jabbered on like a monk.

The [navigation elf] was speechless.

A good bird grows on its beak, and a good horse grows on its legs. When it came to talking, Richard would never admit defeat.

"You should have intelligence, right?" How old are you this year? Where did you graduate from? Did she usually do this kind of customer service work? He doesn't seem to have any future ... How much is his salary? What's the prospect of promotion?"

Then, it threw out a great killing weapon that could kill gods and Buddhas in its way,""Do you have a partner?"

The [navigation elf] was speechless.

Richard flapped his wings and cackled.""You're not young anymore, it's time for you to find a partner. If you really can't find a girlfriend, do you want to try a boyfriend? There should be more than one customer service representative like you, right? have you come into contact with the little brother you like during your work?"

The [navigation elf] was speechless.

He did not know if it was an illusion, but the ball of light seemed to be slowly retreating, trying to distance itself from Richard.

Richard's little black eyes rolled slyly."Aiyaya, don't be shy. You have to face yourself bravely, face yourself, and think back to the moment when your heart was beating ... The sun, the sports field, the sweat, the smell of hormones mixed in, the bright muscle lines, and his hearty smile ... It's time to abandon the fantasy of women. Men should play with men."

[Navigation elf]:"um ... Someone has applied for adoption. They're already here. They're waiting outside the door. You can leave this scenario."

For some reason, the ball of light sounded very embarrassed. Although his expression could not be seen, his tone sounded like he was panicking, and he was in a hurry to send Richard away.

Richard snorted."The adopter ... Is it a man or a woman?"

[Navigation elf]:"it's a couple. They don't have any children and want to adopt a few more pets."

Richard smacked his lips."Unfortunately, I have no interest in married men. Of course, if they are husband-and-wife, that's another story ..."

At this moment, the laboratory door was pushed open again.

There were a few figures standing outside the door, some familiar to Richard and some unfamiliar to him. They seemed to have been listening at the door for a while.

One of them was an unfamiliar figure. For some reason, as soon as he entered the door, his hand reached for the broom next to the trash can.
