Fooling Tomoko into being a system

"Eco, what is Haven's disease?"

"If white salt disease is an insurmountable obstacle for human beings, then Haven's disease is a curse that clones are born with."

"When the human Gestalt soul begins to collapse, the corresponding replicator will suffer from Haven's disease. In the early stage, it is just a common cough and fever, with symptoms similar to a cold. In the middle stage, it starts to cough up blood, and the whole body begins to suffer severe pain. In the later stage, the whole body appears black The lines will appear until death, and the fatality rate is 100%. Haven's disease is not contagious, because a large number of black words will appear on the body's surface before death, so the replicators call it Haven's disease."

Li Lin: "When the human soul becomes a Honkai Impact, the corresponding clone will develop Haven's disease? From this perspective, the human Gestalt soul must have some unknown relationship with its own clone body. Mysterious connection, is that so? Echo!"

After thinking for a while, Aike nodded.

"Aiko, I have a question. Consciousness is born in clones. Do they have souls? Can clones extract their souls in a gestalt form?"

After pondering for a while, Aike gave the answer, "The Gestalt Project is a plan to extract human souls. The clones are unconscious because they lack human souls, and they will not be infected with white salt disease, so artificial humans are needed. To manage.”

"It can be seen from this that for unconscious replicants, everyone knows that they have no soul, so no one has conducted Gestalt experiments on replicants to extract souls."

Li Lin realized that Aiko only said that the clones who had just extracted their souls had no souls, but did not say whether the clones who had awakened their consciousness had their own souls.

Human beings at that time had already become Gestaltized and were probably not capable of conducting this experiment.

The artificial humans do not have the strong curiosity of humans, and they will not conduct these experiments without human orders.

I will be curious about how humans in Nier's world became extinct. 2b They may feel pain, depression and other emotions, and it is probably difficult for them to be curious and act like me.

From this we can see that artificial beings are different from humans, so replicants and humans should also be different. Perhaps we can find evidence from this to prove whether replicants who have awakened their consciousness have awakened their souls.

"Aiko, I would like to ask, what are the big differences or differences between replicants and humans?"

Replicants are human bodies whose souls have been extracted. They are born without a soul. Even if consciousness is born after a long time, it can be judged from the incident of Haven's disease that replicants still have a mysterious relationship with the human soul. Li Lin believes that replicants and humans must be decisively different.

Hearing Li Lin's question, Echo began to quickly search through her memories and began to compare the differences between humans and replicants. She quickly found the answer.

"Before the implementation of the Gestalt Project, the physical data of every human being was recorded and used to produce corresponding clones. The clones would be as long-lived or sickly as the original human body. The clones would be industrially cultivated in the breeding base. The clones would be If it dies accidentally, it will be cultivated again based on the physical data provided by humans.”

"Are clones made in a factory? Then they will fall in love? Get married? Have children?"

When Li Lin talked about having children, the eyes of the three people in A2 obviously lit up. Giving birth is a great act of human beings. Artificial beings cannot have children. They are also made by the base and are similar to clones.

Aike almost couldn't keep up with Li Lin's thoughts and could only lament the great curiosity of human beings, but still tried his best to answer the various questions raised by Li Lin.

"Of course clones can fall in love and get married. They also have the ability to have sex, but clones have no fertility!"

"What should the clones do if they want to have children? After all, animals are not extinct yet, and animals have the ability to reproduce. Wouldn't the clones feel suspicious if they cannot give birth to children?"

"If the replicator couple wants a child, they will go to the artificial person to perform a "birth ceremony." The "pregnant woman" will be taken away to a hidden place and enter a deep sleep for about a week, guarded by the artificial person to prevent other replicants from discovering the truth. , another artificial human returned to the breeding facility, took out the newly created clone baby, and then told the "pregnant woman" that this is your child! "

Li Lin was furious, what kind of ritual to give birth to a child was too magical, but Li Lin got an important clue. The clone had x power, but could not give birth to a baby.

Li Lin continued to ask: "What about humans? Can Gestalt return to the clones and become humans? Can they have children? Since clones cannot have children with each other, can humans have children with clones?"

a2, 2b, and 9s looked at Li Lin with special admiration. He was indeed a great human being, so concerned about the continuation of the human race and the birth of children.

If humans can have children with sterile replicants, doesn’t it mean that humans can also have children with sterile replicants?

The a2 and 2b chips are starting to overload!

But they soon became frustrated. They were driven by mechanical structures and alien black boxes. They were more like mechanical life forms than artificial humans. They were not even artificial humans, let alone replicas of human beings. , replicants are far more like humans than we are, or in other words, replicants are part of humanity.

"Two Gestalts who return to the replicant body can give birth to babies normally, but humans cannot have children with replicants!"

Echo's words broke the last trace of delusion of a2 and 2b.

Li Lin got another important clue. The returned Gestalt could have children, but the clones could not, and humans could not have children with the clones.

Li Lin finally found the biggest difference between humans and replicants!

"The biggest difference when it comes to having children is whether there is a human soul in the clone. Without a human soul, it is impossible to give birth to a baby normally. Especially judging from the fact that humans cannot have children with clones, the birth of a normal child requires two formats. The tower returns to the clones, and only one of them becomes human and is also unable to have children!"

"This shows that the birth of a child requires two clone bodies with souls!"

"From this, it can be judged that the clone only awakens consciousness in the body. After the original soul becomes a Honkai Impact, the clone will suffer from Haven's disease. From this, it can be judged that the clone only awakens consciousness and does not No awakened soul!”

"The human soul is really precious!"

The three a2 people and Aike nodded together. Without human souls, there would be no new human babies.

Li Lin thought of another question, extracting stable magic elements from Demon King Neil's stable soul. Does this mean that magic elements can be born from the Gestalt soul, and that the soul can transform/generate magic elements?

Li Lin asked: "The Gestalt and the clones are fighting against each other. After the Gestalt is killed, what will happen to the corresponding clones?"

"The replicator who has lost the corresponding Gestalt will live normally!"
