...The word ‘unorth valley’ was proposed by Ernst Jentsch in his 1906 paper “Psychology of Unorth Valley”, and his views were elaborated in Freud’s 1919 paper “unorth valley”, thus becoming a famous theory... Jiang Chen quickly turned the introduction and then looked for the keyword from the tadpole-sized words.
Because we are afraid of death, because we are afraid of disease, because the empathy mechanism is confusing, because we cannot empathize with robots... robots.Jiang Chen murmured, his hand holding the book trembling slightly.
What's going on with this feeling?
Forced down the restlessness in his heart, Jiang Chen searched for the answers in this robot magazine that had been in some years.
The library of Shanghai No. 6 Middle School is very large, and the jungle-like bookshelf is listed in the lobby on the first floor, although few students visit this book collection.
All books can be downloaded online on campus, and all information can be searched on the terminal.
Rather than saying that it is a paper backup of the materials, it is better to say that the books here are stored as exhibitions.
Only large libraries at the municipal and district levels will store paper papers or books that record academic materials. Those are the real materials, not exhibitions.
The times are progressing, and paper reading has gradually faded out of people's vision.Although there will be people who have a special liking for paper books like Tao Tingting, these people are already as rare as rare animals.
For example, the goddess Tao Tingting in Jiang Chen's heart.
However, as a memorial to the old era, libraries often retain some older books and magazines as references to history.
At the same time, Jiang Chen always felt that these papers could bring him more inspiration.
No matter how you consult the campus elf of artificial intelligence, the slick guy couldn't give him a sudden explanation, but just kept guiding his psychological problems towards fatigue and learning pressure.
Or misleading?
No matter how you search on the terminal, you can't get the answer he wants.
It seemed as if it was covered up, the intelligent search assistant unexpectedly failed. After listening to his description, all the search results given seemed to bring the problem to a more complex level.
So when he was out of school, he came to this library full of paper books, where no one would mislead him, and a certain intuition seemed to tell him that the answer he was eager for was hidden on a bookshelf.
He wanted to find out what the unnatural feeling was?
The book "Robot Magazine No. 21 on Incongruity between Humans and Robots" in Jiang Chen was taken from this bookshelves with a rosin wood smell.
Judging from the publication date in 2021, this is also an old historical publication.
Of course, printing is new.
...The higher the simulation of humanoid toys or robots, the more people have a favorable impression, but when a critical point is reached, this favorable feeling will suddenly decrease, and the more people look like, the more disgusting and fear it will be until the bottom.Even a slight unnatural action will appear extremely stiff and terrifying... So that's it, that is to say, did the cleaning robot I encountered in the morning trigger the uncanny valley effect by looking at me?Jiang Chen frowned and thought.
There was an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, something similar to a sense of déjà pounding his heart.
The feeling of depression that was like a cotton tucked into his throat became stronger and stronger.
It seemed as if something had been forgotten.
But what was forgotten?
Suddenly, he subconsciously looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.
But at this moment
Jiang Chen?
A slender and gentle voice touched his eardrums. Jiang Chen turned around in surprise and saw Tao Tingting standing on the other end of the bookshelf.
By the way, I seem to be inviting her to watch a movie. Damn it, in order to get into these boring illusions, I almost forgot about the serious business!
Jiang Chen cursed in his heart, blushing at the beautiful girl as beautiful as a princess, but couldn't say a word.
Tao Tingting stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.
Can't say it... Jiang Chen opened and closed his mouth halfway.But that sentence: Are you free tomorrow?But it was like being blocked in the throat and couldn't speak.
Suddenly, the beautiful pretty face smiled, and the bright eyes like moon buds flashed with heart-pounding brilliance.
Want to come to my house?
Jiang Chen was stunned.
Invite me?Go to her house?But why...
However, Tao Tingting did not give him the leisure to think and turned around and walked out the door.Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally he mustered up the courage to follow.
And that magazine was left at his desk.
Seeing the two left, the librarian who was sitting at the front desk with expressionless face suddenly stood up and walked silently to the chair where Jiang Chen was sitting.
Staring at the aged magazine for a while, she silently picked it up from the table.
However, she did not put it back on the bookshelf.
Instead, it tore it and threw it into the trash can.
……
Wait a minute, why do you... invite me to your house?Jiang Chen chased out of the library and walked behind Tao Tingting. After hesitating for a moment, hesitating and asking for this doubt.
Suddenly, Tao Tingting stopped and the milky white skirt swayed gently in the breeze.
The lilies blooming under the halo in the setting sun are so beautiful.
So much so that Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment.
The goddess who made him think about it day and night was biting her lower lip at this moment, with a slightly shy face nodding slightly, and gently opening her red lips.
Because, I want to know you.
learn?
Is this confessing to me?Jiang Chen's face was covered with redness and his lips were stiff, and he couldn't say a word.
My heart was thrust, as if I was about to jump out of my chest.
It turns out that she likes me too!
At this moment, Jiang Chen's brain was completely filled with the chaotic joy, and he had completely lost the ability to think, just looking at the goddess that made him dream of.
Tao Tingting smiled and walked towards the school gate.
Jiang Chen swallowed and spitted, lifted up and followed with stiff steps.
However, at this moment, a flash of light inadvertently caught a glimpse of the unnatural abnormality.
An inexplicable heart-wrenching feeling climbed up to my heart.
The empty gaze was staring at him.
Are there cleaning robots here too?
Yes, this thing should be available everywhere... Jiang Chen muttered in his heart, leaving the unnatural feeling behind his head.
The robot seemed to lose interest in him and looked straight in another direction.
……
The door opened, and Tao Tingting led Jiang Chen to the apartment she rented.
A one-bedroom apartment with a very simple structure. This type of house is easy to rent near the school and is not expensive.It seems that Tao Tingting, like him, is a person from another place to come to Shanghai.
The room was filled with a scent of jasmine flowers.Clean and tidy light linen wallpapers fill every wall of the living room, a very simple coffee table and tablecloth, and the beige sofa.
Just sit there, do you want me to pour you a glass of water?Tao Tingting turned around and smiled slightly at Jiang Chen.
Ah, uh, OK.Jiang Chen nodded in a panic expression, and then sat on the sofa.
Looking at Tao Tingting's back standing next to the cabinet and smelling the fragrance of the goddess in the air, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile.
Although I feel something is a bit unnatural, I am so happy that it doesn't matter.
It was as if it was forcibly filled, but the feeling of lack of reality in my heart disappeared without realizing it.
After a while, Tao Tingting gently brought two glasses of water to the living room, then smiled slightly at Jiang Chen, and placed the water cup in front of Jiang Chen.
Give.
Ah, thank you.As if to cover up the embarrassment, Jiang Chen quickly held the cup and took a sip of the cold boiled water.
Tao Tingting sat down beside Jiang Chen, then looked at Jiang Chen's side face with a smile.
Uh, is there anything on my face?
No.Tao Tingting shook her head with a smile, and her long gentle hair shook like willows.
Um... Jiang Chen was speechless, buried his eyes in the cup, dazed at his reflection in the water.
I want to know you, can I talk to me?
As if he was hit by the center of the body severely, Jiang Chen's heart suddenly throbbed.
Eh?For, why, would you want to know me?Jiang Chen's Adam's apple moved and said with a stuttering feeling because he was at a loss.
In fact, the answer is clear.
Because I like you.Tao Tingting stared into Jiang Chen's eyes and said with a smile.
I always feel an inexplicable feeling of discomfort, and I always feel that something is wrong...
However, this confusion is quickly filled with the explosion of joy, which makes people forget to think.
Me, I like you too.Jiang Chen finally plucked up the courage and poured out the accumulated thoughts in his heart.
I know.Tao Tingting looked at Jiang Chen's courageous look with a smile. I have been following you for a long time.
... I know.I've been following you for a long time.These two sentences were like curses, circling happily in his mind.
Can you tell me your story?Like a curious girlfriend, Tao Tingting looked at Jiang Chen's eyes and blinked her eyes with long eyelashes.
Me, I have no stories to tell.Jiang Chen moved his face away a little embarrassedly, but Tao Tingting came closer unyieldingly.
You can tell anything.
Oh well.Jiang Chen hesitated and spoke.
To his surprise, he originally thought that Tao Tingting was the kind of literary girl who was not good at talking, but at this moment she gave Jiang Chen a feeling that she was very talkative.
Since childhood, I have talked about those memories that were almost covered with a layer of white mist.
The two had a very pleasant chat. Although they didn't have much interaction, Jiang Chen was always watching her secretly. However, Tao Tingting gave him the illusion that he had known each other for a long time.
It gradually became late, so dark outside.
How about I treat you to a meal?Tao Tingting said with a smile.
Jiang Chen nodded.
Dinner was held in a relaxing atmosphere.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded green peppers, and seaweed egg soup are all home-cooked dishes.
It can be seen that Tao Tingting was unexpectedly a girl who was very good at managing the house. Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little excited.
At his age, the so-called love is eternal.
The food was delicious, and he secretly observed Tao Tingting sitting opposite the table.The cherry chewed gently.
She seems to like to eat tomatoes?Is it the kind of person who likes to eat sour?And green peppers?Well...but why only these two things are eaten?
Jiang Chen observed it very carefully and secretly wrote down her taste.
Speaking of which, she said she liked me... Then she should be my girlfriend now?
But it hasn't been made clear yet. Are you waiting for me to propose it?
Thinking of this, he swallowed gently and then looked away unnaturally.
The opening song of the popular TV series "Ashes Empire" is playing on the holographic screen, and it is already eight o'clock before I know it.
Is it tasty?Tao Tingting looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
Ah, Ah!tasty.Jiang Chen smiled in a panic, then buried his head and dug a few mouthfuls of rice to cover up the embarrassing expression on his face.
I heard that there are ghosts in the school’s library. Have you seen it?
Ghost, ghost?It's a deceptive thing, that kind of pseudoscience or something.Jiang Chen smiled with a strange expression.
Are you satisfied?However, Tao Tingting's next sentence changed the topic inconsistently.
satisfy?Jiang Chen asked in confusion, suddenly thought of something and looked to the side, scratched his red ears embarrassedly, and nodded stiffly. Of course, he was satisfied.
Is there anything happier for a teenager than being invited to her home by the goddess who was longing for day and night?
Don't choke when eating, come and drink a sip of water.Tao Tingting handed the cup with a smile, which was the cup of water that Jiang Chen had just taken a sip just now.
Um!He took the cup with a slightly hot cheek, and Jiang Chen poured water into his mouth silently as if he was embarrassed.
Isn't there any soup?Why is water...
The follow-up plot of "Ashes Empire" was shown on the screen, and Ryan fell in a pool of blood and stopped breathing.
An unexpected ending?
I always feel like I can't say it's hasty, as if I have begun to explain a lot, but in the end I didn't explain anything clearly and the eunuch fell.
The ending song is followed by the blood words of the end.
Looking at Jiang Chen lying on the dining table in a dizzy manner, Tao Tingting smiled on her pure and quiet face.
The smile was weird and hollow.
So sleepy, so tired, I want to have a sleep...
Through the drooping and hazy vision, he just vaguely glimpsed that what fell on the floor seemed to be a pure white floral dress...
The white touch was approaching him with a faint pace.
The back of the head was surrounded by a gentle touch, and consciousness gradually fell into the abyss.
Because we are afraid of death, because we are afraid of disease, because the empathy mechanism is confusing, because we cannot empathize with robots... robots.Jiang Chen murmured, his hand holding the book trembling slightly.
