Martin took the frame and looked at the photo," It was the polar stratospheric cloud in the sky of the photo"
Robert took the frame back, looked at the photo, then put the photo back on the table.
Martin"Humans who had seen the cloud phenomenon, disappeared, Cyber and robot witnesses lost their memories about the phenomenon when they came back. This book recorded a special cloud phenomenon in history."
Martin handed the book to Robert.
Robert didn't take the book. "We can communicate with the stream of consciousness, you can transfer the data to me."
Martin insisted on handing the book to Robert, "The stream of consciousness is not safe."
Robert, "My cyber license has regulations, I cannot take any human-related investigations."
Martin put the book on the table, "You will take it."
Robert looked at the book, "Encyclopedia of cloud phenomenon", there was a picture of arcus cloud on the book cover. Robert recalled the moment of the car accident.
＆(Flashback)Arcus cloud in the sky, at the moment of the car accident, Robert looked up at the cloud in the sky, car crash, ambulance, fuzzy memories, operating table, dialogue between doctors, "Irreparable damage of body organs, only the right brain was not injured." Brain data reading imager, an electronic agreement, "Are you willing to give up your human identity and all social rights and become cyber?"＆
Picture of Arcus cloud on the book cover, the book in Robert's hand, in the pyramid photo on the table, it was Encyclopedia of cloud phenomenon.
Robert stood at the table with the book in the room.
Robert“It was the cloud of the sky at the moment of the car accident.”
Martin pointed at the cloud picture on the book cover, "It is Arcus cloud."
Robert opened the search engine in his virtual eye, searched the keyword "arcus cloud", search results were blank. Fire alarms going off at the same time.
Robert opened the door and saw the neighbor was leaving the room.
"What happened, Olivia?" Robert asked the neighbor.
Neighbor turned around, "The room was always empty, when did you move in this room?"
Robert"Olivia, don't you know me? I'm Detective Robert, I've been lived here for over a year. "
Olivia shook her head and ran downstairs.
Martin"Did you search the keyword arcus cloud?"
Robert stood at the door, "Fire alarms, we should go downstairs."
Martin went to the window, "The police are already downstairs."
Robert looked through the window, the police got in the building.
The police entered the room and saw no one.
Robert and Martin stepped on the grid under the outer window and knocked on the neighbor's window. It was locked, they failed to open it.
The police looked around from the window,
Robert and Martin had jumped into another neighbor's window.
There was a little boy in the room, wearing virtual reality glasses, game controller in his hand, the boy was playing a virtual reality game.
Robert took off the boy's glasses, "David, didn't you hear the fire alarm?"
The boy took the glasses back, "You get out"
Robert"I'm Uncle Robert, I had supper with your family yesterday, and I brought you this VR glasses."
David"I don't know you, this is a human district, nonhuman never comes to this district."
There was a knock at the door.
Robert and the boy looked at the door, they heard a snap of fingers.
They turned around their head, Martin disappeared, there was a magician hat on the ground, and a cat in the hat.
The cat jumped to the window, Martin waved his hands at the window of another building.
The cat jumped an incredible distance and jumped into the window of the opposite building.
Martin waved his hands again, Robert received Martin's stream of consciousness message, "Jump"
Robert looked down, then looked at the window of the opposite building.
In the virtual eye, there was a formula for calculating the weight, gravity and distance of a take-off force, and a parabola.
Robert looked at the distance of the two-building 49.75m, glanced at the height of the building, "The distance is beyond the limit of my strength. I can't jump over it."
The police are still knocking at the door, Robert and the boy looked at the door.
David"I'm coming", the boy went to the door.
Martin"Robert, trust me, you can jump over it, just like the cat. Close your eyes, jump"
Robert hesitated, the boy had reached the door.
Robert closed his eyes, jumped out of the window.
Robert opened his eyes. Martin saw Robert fall.
The police got into the room. "We are finding a Cyber"
David looked at the window, "They were here just now, the robot became a cat, jumped to the window of the opposite building, Cyber jumped, too"
The police went to the window, looked around, the window of the opposite building had been closed.
The police looked at the VR glasses, then looked at the magician hat, "It's another poor little human boy who can not tell the difference between reality and virtual reality."The police told his partner.
The police put glasses on the boy.
David"It's real, I saw it, the robot became a cat, Cyber jumped out."
The policeman handed the game controller to the boy."Yes, it is real, as long as you believe, everything is real."
Robert opened his eyes and fell.
Robert"This is a dream, this is a dream"
Robert was falling in the air,
Robert heard a knock at the door before falling to the ground.
Robert heard a knock at the door, waked up from a dream. unplugged the charging cable.
Robert looked at the door, the display showed the door was locked. The manual latch was also locked.
Robert opened the door, Martin"I told you I'm a magician yesterday when I made the appointment."
Martin reached out to shake hands. Robert did not respond.
Martin's hand shook, a tarot card appeared in his hand, the Knight of the scepter.
(On the card face, it was an ancient Egyptian mural, An ancient Egyptian was riding on a horse with a scepter in his hand, there were also some ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs on the card.)
The bitcard you requested, an advance payment.
Martin entered the room. Robert put the bitcard on the table, beside the photo frame.
Martin took the frame and looked at the photo, "It was the polar stratospheric cloud in the sky of the photo"
Robert took the frame back, looked at the photo, there was no book in Robert's hand in the photo. Robert looked at the window of the opposite building, in his virtual eye, he saw the distance of the two-building 75.75m.
Robert"There was no book in the photo, I was correct, and the distance number, 49.75m, does not comply with the building code, the minimum standard of building distance and height 1:1.2."
Martin"Humans who had seen the cloud phenomenon, disappeared, Cyber and robot witnesses lost their memories about the phenomenon when they came back. This book recorded a special cloud phenomenon in history."
Martin handed the book to Robert.
Robert took the book, looked at the book cover.
Martin pointed at the cover picture, "It was arcus cloud in the sky."
Robert opened the search engine in his virtual eye, entered the keyword "arcus cloud", then delete the word, "I haven't seen you before., but you were in my dream."
Martin"I've been to a lot of dreams. But I never found the arc cloud that recorded in this book."
Robert entered the keyword again, "arcus cloud",
before search the keyword, Robert asked: "How do I know this wasn't a dream?"
Martin"You can search the keyword arcus cloud to check if the fire alarm will go off."
Robert and Martin went out of the room.
Before they closed the door, we can see the photo on the table, there was a book in Robert's hand in the photo.
Robert met neighbor Olivia in the corridor. They greeted each other.
Robert and Martin parked the car in front of the Rubik's Cube Building Library.
The library building looked like it was made up of a lot of glass cubes. The architectural design was based on a historic building Singapore’s stunning digital cloud skyscraper. The interior design of the library was based on a famous library Zhongshuge Library in China。
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Robert and Martin entered the library through the revolving door of the entrance.
Books were on the shelves of the Rubik's cube wall. Platforms and stairs connected the Rubik's cube. There were also passageways on the stairs for wheeled robots.
In the middle of the hall, there was a mirror. From the side of the mirror, we can see the layout plan of the library in the mirror. But if we stand in front of the mirror, the layout plan disappeared. Next to the mirror, there was a sculpture of a mammoth with "Fountain of Youth" written below.
From the layout map of the library, we can see that the ground floor of the library is composed of science books, the middle layer is military and public security books, the upper layer is political and legal books, and the top layer is education, art, history and culture books.
Martin looked in the mirror and arranged his hat. In the mirror were the symmetrical Martin and the revolving door of the library behind him. Robert looked at Martin in the mirror.
The dialogue between the characters in the library was through the stream of consciousness information on the Internet, and there was no sound.
Martin, "Did you say the librarian was Ella?"
Robert, "Here she comes."
A little cute robot came to Robert and Martin.
Robot"Welcome to the Central Library."
Martin looked at the library robot. "I thought it was"
Robert "Ella, we need to check the data on the printed books. "
The library robot hologram showed a virtual human Ella.
When Martin saw Ella, his eyes widened, "My God, Archangel" Martin reached out to shake hands.
Ella looked at Martin, confused.
Martin's hand shook, an ornament appeared in his hand, it was a metal knotted gun.
Ella looked at Martin, confused, "I can't find your visit records. Have we met?"
Martin wanted to give the gift to Ella. "Anyway, thank you for your work."
Robert took Martin's gift and looked at it in his hand. Robert handed it to Ella. "This is Martin, he is a magician."
Ella looked at the gift, a small drawer protrudes from her base, "Thank you for your gift, it's the first time I saw a robot that could do magic."
Robert and Martin followed Ella, walked to the shelf.
Ella, "Very few people read printed books these days."
Robert and Martin followed Ella to the shelf, "That Book."
Robert took down the book and flipped it over and passed it to Martin. After Martin read it, Martin put the book back on the shelf. " Cumulus "
On the middle layer, Robert took down the book and flipped it over and passed it to Martin. After Martin read it, Martin put the book back on the shelf. "Stratospheric cloud"
On the upper layer, "Lenticular clouds"
Martin "These printed books have been modified, same as the database, "
Ella "Original books were on the top layers of the library."
The upper layer, "Cirrus cloud"
Another layer, Ella stood at the stairs and Robert stood by.
Robert, "Ella, do you remember anything about what happened before the car accident?"
Ella, "You know, all I remember is waking up from the hospital, and like you, I don't have any memories before the car accident."
Martin went up the stairs and found Robert and Ella at the top of the stairs.
Ella, "I told you, the upper floor needs special access. "
Martin went up the stairs again and found Robert and Ella at the top of the stairs again.
This is Penrose Steps, the encrypted permissions designed by the Penrose ladder principle, people who do not have permission go up the stairs from the landing, will come up again from the stairs below the platform.
Ella, "The upper floor can only be accessed by humans."
Robert, "Ella, Could you check the data on Socratic judgment Day and Ella's death Day again?"
Ella, "I don't find anything special except for one thing, Ella in history, who has the same name as me."
President Adam(Human) was going upstairs with his bodyguard.
Adam, "The Singularity era begins with Ella's death Day, and this library was built in memory of Ella, the daughter of God."
Martin, who was going up the stairs, went upstairs.
Adam went up to Robert and motioned to the bodyguard. Two bodyguards went upstairs.
Adam "Ella, I've brought you a new quantum processor. Go to the mechanic above."
“Alright” Ella looked at Robert. Then went upstairs.
Adam looked at Robert, "Detective Robert, only humans have special access to historical Original books."
Robert looked at Ella who was going upstairs. "I just want to find memories of the past."
Adam motioned to the bodyguard to take Robert downstairs. Adam and the other bodyguards went upstairs.
Robert went downstairs reluctantly, followed by Adam's bodyguard.
Bodyguard "Cyber, go back and take a good look at the cyber manual. Cyber is a robot species, not a human being."
When Robert and the bodyguard went downstairs, Robert received a message from Martin, "I've already gone out. You can go back by yourself later. "
Robert stopped, Bodyguard"Cyber, keep going."
Robert opened the search engine in his virtual eye, entered the keyword "arcus cloud".
Robert"This is my special access. " Then search the keyword.
The fire alarm went off in the library. Robert turned around, looked at the bodyguard.
The bodyguard looked at Robert, confused, "Who are you?"
The bodyguard turned around and went upstairs.
Robert went upstairs with the bodyguard.
Robert went upstairs, saw Martin with two bodyguards, Robert rescued Martin and asked Martin to leave together.
Robert sent Martin a screenshot of the message Martin had just sent. "I've already gone out. You can go back by yourself later. " "Is this your message?"
Martin "I knew you can understand it."
Robert, "The icon at the end of your message is always a little white rabbit in a magic hat, and this message is a cat in a magic hat."
Martin tried to get the book from a bookshelf.
Library shootout, Martin and Robert could not get the book.
Martin and Robert shot and retreated, went down the stairs and came back to the upper stairs again, it was another Penrose staircase
The bodyguard clicks on the virtual screen, the staircase connecting each Rubik's cube bookshelf separated from the Rubik's cube, and the platform and ladder moved in different directions in the air.
Martin and Robert jumped between different stairs and landings, but they couldn't get to the ground.
Every time they jumped off the platform close to the ground then they found they jumped to the upper platform. It was the Penrose platform.
Martin was still looking for the chance to get the book, but he couldn't get close to the target shelf.
Robert, "Use your magic to get us out of here."
Martin "I don't know how to get out of here. We have to get that book."
Robert, "You don't know? When I handed you the books on different floors before you put them back on the shelf, you inserted a card in each book, don't tell me it's a bookmark."
Bodyguards appeared from different directions of the platform.
Robert and Martin were trapped next to the bookshelf and could not get close to the target bookshelf after several attempts.
Martin sent Robert a card message, Robert opened the message, in his virtual eyes, Robert saw the digital ID54321 of Martin cards on a different platform.
Martin and Robert broke through and returned to the ground floor with the order of Martin cards.
They rushed out of the revolving door and found themselves get back in the library.
Robert looked at the revolving door in the mirror of the hall. "This is a Penrose door."
Robert pointed at the bodyguards that appeared from different directions of the platform. "The whole library is a Penrose Cube."
Martin looked at the mirror, then looked at the bodyguards appeared from different platforms, "I see, the system key is a Rubik's cube."
In virtual eyes, Robert saw the projection line of Martin cards became a three-dimensional Rubik's cube.
The target bookshelf moved to Martin and Robert.
Martin got the book on the shelf.
Robert "Send me the last card."
Martin"It is the first card."
Martin sent Robert the card message" The Knight of the scepter."
Robert opened the card message, the card Knight of the scepter appeared in the mirror.
Robert and Martin rushed out of the revolving door and got out of the library.
Adam was sitting in the control room, looking at the virtual screen, in the upper left corner of the virtual screen, we can see a logo and words next to the Logo, Prediction algorithm 2.0.
The scene is playing on the virtual screen, Robert and David looked out of the window, Martin waved his hands to Robert at the window of the opposite building. David went to open the door, Robert jumped out of the window.
Bodyguards got in the control room, "They escaped."
Adam "It doesn't matter, they thought they could escape from their fate, it's just an illusion."
