Chapter 225 Everything is animistic
"Let's not talk about that. I'll pick you up at the Vortex Gate. Which exit will you exit from?" McQueen asked.
"The Alice Hotel we booked is the closest to the main gate."
"Okay, Linlin and I happen to live here too. I won't say any more. See you later."
"Ah."
"Goodbye uncle."
"Bye baby~"
After hanging up the call, Xu Weiwei raised his head and asked Xifusi: "Dad, what is the 'Vortex Gate'?"
"Just now your uncle mentioned Platform Nine and Three Quarters. The Whirlpool Gate is equivalent to that thing."
"Wow! So cool!" Xu Weiwei exclaimed.
Seaforth burst out laughing, touched her little face, then carried her back to the dining table and fed her the rest of her meal.
"There are still two more bites. Come on... Awooo! Great! Our Wei'er eats like a little tiger..."
Xu Weiwei ate so much that her belly became round thanks to Sifos's encouraging feeding.
The others had finished their meal and returned to their rooms to pack up when she called. This time when they landed, they needed to take all the luggage down, clear out the food, seal up the unused items, and restore the starship to its state before use.
However, the hotel's professional team will do this and transfer the clothes to the dressing room of their suite. They only need to pack their belongings into a small bag and carry them with them.
When Xu Weiwei entered the bedroom, the four boys had almost finished packing and were doing the final check.
Xu Weiwei found that her small backpack had been taken out and placed on her bed.
"Weier, we have packed your things for you. There are your reader, headphones, your big-eyed dog handkerchief, bank cards, and small things like pearls and badges. Check to see if there is anything you missed or need to take out."
"Thank you, brother." Xu Weiwei said with emotion.
"No need. If there is something you want to take but can't fit in, you can leave it with me and I will carry it for you." Kane added.
"Ok!"
After packing up, everyone gathered at their fixed seats.
Xu Weiwei watched as No. 7 also sat on it, and even knew to tighten the straps for himself, looking very careful about his life, not like a robot at all, so she asked, "Does No. 7 need to do this too?"
"The master said, 'Everyone, sit still in your fixed seats and be careful.'" After No. 7 tied himself up, he grabbed the two straps on his chest with both hands, and behaved like a primary school student.
"Do you understand 'everyone' to include robots?"
Number Seven paused, the display screen flickered, and then snow began to appear as if the signal was bad.
Xu was panicking, fearing that the circuit would burn out if it continued like this, so she quickly and firmly emphasized: "Don't think about it! It must be you! Number 7 is also one of us, how could Dad miss Number 7!"
The display screen of No. 7 gradually returned to normal, and then two smiling eyes like brackets appeared.
Finn's speechless voice appeared on the right, "Are you coaxing a robot?"
"Yes." Xu Weiwei nodded confidently, "Can't you see it's about to break down? Even though I know it has no emotions, I can't help but feel sorry for it. Its reaction is too much like that of a simple-minded child."
Finn: “…”
"A child who thinks a robot is a child is a simple-minded child. It's just a piece of program and a pile of metal shells."
Xu Weiwei: ???
Did she hear a tongue twister?
Shaking his head, Xu Weiwei said seriously: "Many things in the world are spiritual. We just can't see their lives, but that doesn't mean their lives don't exist."
"Then tell me where the life of this thing lies?" Finn said, pointing to the optical computer on his wrist. It was an optical computer in the shape of a mechanical watch, with a cold and shiny metallic luster and a dark blue chassis. It was obviously worth a lot of money.
Xu glanced at it, then said to Finn in the eyes: "Your optical brain is a little boy, with a personality very similar to yours, very quiet, very smart, and can live a long time. But you can't say bad things to it in front of it, otherwise it is very likely to become depressed and eventually break down."
Everyone around was stunned by Xu Weiwei's witch-like remarks.
Finn raised his arms in disbelief. "You said it, this optical brain, is a 'little boy'? You can see things we can't see, right?"
"No, I'm not mentally ill. How should I put it..." Xu Weiwei frowned.
"It's just a feeling that I can't explain."
She has had this experience since she was a child. In Xu Weiwei's view, many things have an image in her.
Ginseng is a skinny old man; Panax notoginseng is a tall, simple-minded scholar, the most appropriate image of which is Yan Hui; Zhusha is a strong, fiery, and beautiful woman with a strong complexion; Goji berries are a little girl wearing a flowery jacket and pigtails tied with a red string...
"Forget it, I was just talking nonsense, just listen to it casually, don't take it to heart."
"But I think what Ver said makes sense," Mrs. Seaforth said gently.
"'All things have spirits, and they depend on each other and stay together.' This is a concept that has existed for a long, long time. All things in the world have their own vitality and will, and only those who are destined to be with them can depend on each other and stay together."
"If we don't believe in this vitality, it's like tearing the bond between us and them with our own hands. Then this companionship won't last long."
Xu Weiwei was so shocked that she was speechless. In her time, few people knew this ancient saying, but as a mother in the future century, she knew it and could accurately express its meaning.
For the first time, she realized how profound her mother's knowledge was. This was not something that could be learned by just reading one or two books! Not only did she understand it herself, but she also explained it so well. It was really amazing!
Everyone nodded as if they understood something.
Xu Weiwei looked at her mother in admiration and clapped: "Mom, you are awesome!"
"Mom just knows that Wei'er is so young yet she can turn truth into action, which is even more amazing."
Xu Weiwei felt a little embarrassed by her mother's proud and admiring look.
"Are you all seated? Count down and get ready. Ten, nine, eight, seven..."
After the casual chat, the countdown on the radio made Xu Weiwei nervous.
They were about to take this flying starship to the sea. In her opinion, there was only one situation where an airplane would have a relationship with the sea - that is, a plane crash at sea.
"All things have spirits. Please say something nice to this starship and let it take us to the land safely."
Xu turned his head slightly, and Finn looked ahead with a normal expression, as if there was no intention of mockery.
I didn't believe it just now, but now you say this again...
Xu smiled slightly and really closed his eyes and prayed——
"Brother Starship, you won't stall in the sea and sink with us, right? You are so young and have plenty of opportunities to show yourself. This is just one of your tests. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to complete the task easily. We entrust our lives to you. When we return, I will definitely clean it up, feed it the purest black crystal, and use the best lubricant..."
"Puchi-"
Suppressed laughter was heard all around.
