Chapter 759 The Third Consciousness
Although he hadn't done these things in a long time, Li Tianran's skills hadn't become rusty.
He chopped scallions, ginger, and garlic, put them into the hot oil to sauté until fragrant, stir-fried the sliced meat until cooked, and then added green peppers and mushrooms. Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted out from the cracks in the kitchen, filling the entire house.
Thirty minutes later, dinner was ready.
Li Tianran cooked a total of three dishes: stir-fried sliced meat with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and Mu Xu Rou (wood-shredded pork). He didn't make any seafood feasts or luxurious state banquets; they were all home-style dishes that he and Hanhan often ate before.
After placing the plates on the table, Li Tianran opened the rice cooker.
The steaming rice was thoroughly cooked, with plump, crystal-clear grains and a refreshing aroma of grain.
Without waiting for Li Tianran to call her, Hanhan came over, drawn by the aroma, and reached out to grab the sliced meat and rice from the plate.
Pa!
Li Tianran directly tapped her fingertip with his chopsticks.
Shua!
Hanhan suddenly looked up, her eyes as fierce and savage as a tiger about to hunt.
A voice kept ringing in her mind.
Kill him, kill him, kill him!
But...
So fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant!
The aroma of the food kept drilling into her nose, and her stomach kept churning, signaling hunger.
Gulu gulu...
An ear-piercing sound rang out.
The ferocity in Hanhan's eyes gradually disappeared.
Let's satisfy the body's needs first, as for him...
Hanhan glared at Li Tianran again with a warning look.
I'll kill you next time!
Next, only the slight clinking of bowls and chopsticks remained in the living room.
There was no verbal communication between Li Tianran and Hanhan, but the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
Thirty minutes later, Li Tianran walked out of the small building.
The crowd that had been waiting outside breathed a sigh of relief and immediately surrounded him, asking questions all at once.
Li Tianran waved his hand to interrupt them and said softly, "From today on, no one is to approach this place. Also..."
He turned his gaze to Tang Su, Yuan Wen, and the others beside him and said, "Pack up my things from the castle. I'm going to move back into the small building."
...
The reconstruction of Kuangxi Island, the war damage statistics of various countries, and the reconstruction of the human defense line to investigate the movements of the ancient civilization were all very important tasks at the moment. Li Tianran communicated with everyone for a long time, explaining all the matters and assigning them to the responsible persons.
Although these things were important, compared to comforting Hanhan, they all had to take a back seat!
Hanhan was now not only Li Tianran's younger sister, but she also represented the strongest combat power of the ancient civilization. If he could win her over to his camp, it would be more useful than rebuilding ten human defense lines!
This was Li Tianran's most important job at the moment.
By the time he had finished explaining everything, two hours had passed. It was already late at night, and he walked back to the small building alone, carrying his personal belongings sent from the castle.
As soon as he arrived in the living room, he saw Hanhan walking out of her room.
And in his room, the old computer was actually turned on!
Hanhan opened the computer?
She was learning human technology, language, and writing!
No, how did she know how to turn on the computer? She had never played with computers before and shouldn't have any muscle memory!
"Don't make such an incomprehensible expression. It's true that I was just born not long ago, but don't treat me like a moronic infant!"
"Your memories and thoughts are like an undefended warehouse in front of me. As long as I want to read them, I can obtain information at any time without you noticing!" Hanhan suddenly spoke, her fluency and logic were much stronger than two hours ago, and she could already communicate normally with Li Tianran!
Li Tianran's heart sank.
"Yes, while eating just now, I read some of your memories, but only limited to your understanding of the world and technology..." Hanhan looked at Li Tianran expressionlessly and said softly, "Through this low-level computer, I have completely understood everything about human civilization in two hours."
"Your language, your writing!"
Li Tianran's heart sank.
The learning ability of advanced creatures was too strong. In just two hours, Hanhan had completely acquired all of these things.
And most importantly... the other party already had a defensive mindset.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have read his memories so silently.
Li Tianran felt a little confused.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Hanhan's new consciousness was confused about the world and use some means to make her feel attached and affiliated with Kuangxi Island and himself, but now it seemed that his plan had ended before it even started!
"I and you... are different species."
Hanhan looked at Li Tianran and said, word by word.
Li Tianran suddenly smiled.
It seemed... that his plan was still too idealistic.
Apostles and miracle buildings were closely connected. Perhaps Hanhan already knew his identity as the Earth Apostle the moment the Triangular Tower arrived above Kuangxi Island.
The reason why she hadn't attacked Kuangxi Island might just be because she didn't understand the current situation of human civilization or the power of Kuangxi Island...
And now that she had fully acquired the information of human civilization, did it mean that she would completely return to the ranks of the ancient civilization?
As if understanding Li Tianran's thoughts, Hanhan nodded and said, "That's right, I knew my identity from the moment I woke up..."
"But, unlike what you think... I don't want to become an Earth Apostle again and return to the ranks of the ancient civilization!"
Hearing this, Li Tianran slowly opened his mouth, then closed it, and finally asked softly, "Why?"
"Why? For no reason..." Hanhan said very calmly, "The Earth Apostle is me, and not me! To be precise, the Earth Apostle is a consciousness that once existed in this body, and your sister is also a consciousness that once existed in this body!"
"But now, they have all disappeared... replaced by me, the third consciousness!"
"I am an independent, complete existence. Why should I survive in their identities? Why should I become them? Complete missions for them, and complete unfinished work for them?"
"I am me, not an Earth Apostle, nor Li Han!"
"I will not be inclined to humans or ancient civilizations, I will only do what makes me feel comfortable, and I will never live with the missions and identities of others!"
"I will mercilessly kill the second-rate sequence followers who disturb my sleep!"
"This body feels comfortable living here, so I will live here!"
"But if one day in the future, I feel that your place disgusts me, I will also leave here without hesitation and destroy it!"
