“Go, there is an early warning in the old city”

“There are three this week, and it’s also from the last century?”

“There is no information at the moment. This is a rental house. I use an old-fashioned ID card. The owner of the ID card has already reported the loss and replaced it with a new one.”

“The reason for calling the police?”

“I checked, and the water consumption has been lower than the personal minimum water consumption for three months. The electricity consumption is low, but it is still normal. If people born in the last century use less electricity. Oh, it is here, the network signal is abnormal , there is no equipment access record for one and a half months in a row, and the surrounding air quality monitoring shows that there are no source activities”

“Could it be a trip?”

“Travel? People in the old city probably don’t have this kind of spare money. It’s probably the same as the last one. They also live alone.”

“Isn’t it normal to live alone?”

“That’s over here. Most people in the old town have families and even believers.”

“You mean there are family pensions over there, that’s really old fashioned.”

“It’s so easy for you young people to take your own experience as a general situation. After thirty or forty years, even here, most of them have a family structure, but most of them are two generations in the same house, and there are three or even three generations in the future. With four generations living under the same roof, it’s not like the government can entrust it to the government after breastfeeding, do you know the information of your biological parents?”

“I know, but I have frozen eggs, I only know the biological mother, she has moved to another city”

“Just curious, will you support your biological mother?”

“What does ‘support’ mean?”

“Does that mean you go back to take care of your biological mother’s daily necessities?”

“There is really a generation gap with you guys. My biological mother’s retirement benefits are all given by the city for free. The elderly care robot and mobile exoskeleton are all the latest models. How can I take care of them?”

“I mean emotionally, you should know that when I was a child, there was the so-called concept of ‘filial piety'”

“I’ve never heard of this term, but emotional support is discrimination, right? How can a normal person need emotional support from others?”

“If I said this a few decades ago, I wouldn’t dare to think how many people would scold you.”

“Times are different. It may have been normal for children to take care of their parents in the past, but now many children are biological clones of their parents. Some people like me don’t know their fathers, and those in the ‘test tube program’ don’t even know their mothers. But no matter what. Said, now children only have a physical connection with their parents, don’t they have to build their own social connections? At least in my opinion, raising children to support themselves is very selfish and unfair to children.”

“But your parents gave you life after all”

“Meta-artificial intelligence is also good in this regard, and two-thirds of the vacant house alerts we have taken over in the past two years have died living alone with biological children, and we have not seen their children to take care of them.”

“Maybe this generation of old people just don’t like to take care of the next generation. Anyway, the city can directly allocate what they need for normal life. Many of them still have pensions. In addition, they may not have taken care of the next generation. Naturally, I am embarrassed.”

“I really think the life experiences of those old people are very strange. Birth is like signing a contract, and parents raising children is like pursuing investment returns. It’s really the scenery of the old society.”

“Sometimes I am really curious about the meaning of your generation’s life”

“Life itself has no meaning, the meaning of my existence is not to check the vacancy alarm with you old antique anyway”

“Understand, there are not many occupations that need people to check. Okay, here we are, yo, it’s still a mechanical lock, so that’s it… Okay, put on the mask, and you won’t be surprised if you see anything next.”

“Why is this room empty?”

“Who said nothing, I took fingerprints on the inside handle, let me see who the mysterious person is… How is this possible?”

“What’s wrong”

“The owner of this fingerprint died in Antarctica last month”
