Regardless of what "receptionist" was, Lin Sanjiu was sure that it was not the same as "Cleric".
As the receptionist spoke, he became more and more agitated. His words became sharper and sharper. It seemed that he had been holding it in for a long time. If it was someone else, they might have lost their temper first, let alone convert.
"What about you? You people think you are above nature. Do you really think that you are the most intelligent of all creatures? Asking you to understand the natural symbiotic relationship of equality and mutual benefit is like asking you to bang your head against a wall. I have seen many arrogant people saying that we are the slaves of the mushroom. It is like a bee sucking on pollen, which means that the flower is purely a vassal and victim … You people are like a block of cement that doesn't allow any wind from the outside world to enter your brain. You people think that anyone who is different from you is harboring evil intentions. 'Those who are not of our race must have a different heart', right? This is the most narrow-minded statement I have ever heard. When I first heard it, I didn't even know what kind of expression I should show. I can understand the structure and history of your society very quickly, as well as your ideological framework. But strangely, when you try to understand our ideological framework, you can't do it. The universe is so big, but you people think that there is only one form of human society … A society where humans are supreme and other species are exploited. How arrogant. "
When he said that, he seemed to realize that he was a little too agitated, so he stopped to catch his breath.
"I'm sorry. It has been a long time since I met an outsider like you people. In my job, I either have to face unrealistic fantasies or a bellyful of aggression. It's really great to be able to speak some of my true feelings. "
Bohemia obviously didn't take his words to heart. Even if she didn't know what libido was, she could tell that the receptionist wasn't complaining about a post-apocalyptic human like her.
"Well," she looked at Lin Sanjiu, whose forehead was covered in sweat, "Did you people choose to give up … give up having children? All the choices you've made, were all your own decisions? "
The receptionist was stunned, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"Of course," he couldn't suppress his surprise for a moment, so he said slowly, "If we are just following the orders of the mushroom, why would the mushroom order us not to reproduce? If the number of slaves is reduced, what good will it do to the mushrooms? "
It seemed like he did have a lot of experience in dealing with outsiders. He chose to say this because it was difficult for people to understand his spirit and philosophy. However, it was easier for Lin Sanjiu, an Old Human, to accept a rebuttal from the perspective of benefits.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene quieted down. After a few seconds, only the cat doctor's soft snoring reverberated in the air.
'Well, 'said Bohemia, folding her arms. She was the first to speak. "Actually, I don't really care about your social form, I just like this peaceful feeling … As for what kind of relationship you guys have with mushrooms, I don't really care."
She was a child who grew up after the collapse of human society. Compared to the old humans, her mind did not have the fixed thinking of "how things should be" from the beginning. She did not think that humans were superior to other species. In the apocalyptic world, there were many species that treated humans as the bottom of the food chain. Nor did she think that it was strange for humans to give up their ability to reproduce. On the contrary, she had seen a lot of trouble and pain from reproduction.
"But, I don't think I can contribute much to your society." She frowned and scratched her face. It was rare for her to feel a little embarrassed. "My life has been divided into five parts. This is the last part. I don't know how many years I have left … "
The receptionist took a deep breath, "Five parts?"
"I don't know who did this," Bohemia said, her face a little stiff.
"I heard that every part of my life has to be reincarnated, and every part of my life is completely unrelated to each other … I don't have any memory of my past life, and I don't have any clue about who I was in my previous life. I don't care which bastard did this to me. The truth is, I can only accept it — "
She abruptly stopped speaking, as if a recording had been cut off. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw the woman staring blankly at the ground. She had a blank expression on her face, as if she didn't know what to say next.
After a while, Bohemia said softly, "I don't know how I spent the previous four parts of my life. I guess I wasted them like this. Since these are the last few years of my life, I want to calm down and think about it … Ever since I can remember, not a single day has passed when I didn't try to survive by hook or by crook. But now that I look back, I've done everything possible to preserve this short life of mine, but I don't know what to do with it. "
She turned around and smiled. Her eyes were covered by her long eyelashes. Together with her long, curly golden hair, they shone like a dazzling shadow under the gradually brightening morning sun. "… After I stay, your debt to me will be written off. Aren't you happy?"
Lin Sanjiu stared at Bohemia. She clenched her fists so hard that her knuckles turned white. Lin Sanjiu knew what Bohemia said was the truth. If the pocket dimension didn't find out about the five parts of her life by chance, Bohemia would never realize that she was only one-fifth of a life. That was because all her memories, connections, and clues would vanish as she died.
She would only think that she was unfortunate enough to have a short life before she died. But now, Bohemia didn't even have that luxury.
In other words, she was like a terminally ill patient. All she could do was wait for that dark day to come.
When Lin Sanjiu thought of this, she couldn't help but feel angry at Puppeteer. That stupid pocket dimension was under his control, yet he didn't know what he should say and what he shouldn't say.
'Huh?'
Lin Sanjiu's mind jolted. She suddenly remembered what the pocket dimension said when she was peeling off the onion. Fearing that her thoughts would slip away, Lin Sanjiu focused all her attention on what Puppeteer said. When she came back to her senses, she found that Bohemia was already asking the receptionist about the technical details, such as what to do when the transfer date arrived, how posthumans should integrate into society, and so on. The cat doctor had woken up. He was staring at Lin Sanjiu with a pair of emerald eyes.
Even though he was asleep, it didn't stop him from monitoring the patient's condition.
Lin Sanjiu gestured to Meowie Hu that she was fine. Then, she seized the opportunity to interrupt Bohemia's endless stream of questions.
"Don't you want to stay? I know." Lin Sanjiu grabbed Bohemia's sleeve as if she was worried that Bohemia would follow the receptionist into the experience hall and never show up again. "Don't worry. I won't stop you. You are free to do whatever you want. But, can you wait a little longer? "
"Wait for what?" Bohemia looked at Lin Sanjiu suspiciously. "If you are worried about Magus, you don't have to. I will still bring you into the Astral Plane …"
