How did the Mercury Lamp come to life?
When Big Sister raised this question, I was taken aback for a moment, because it involved too many things, including mechanics, energy science, soul studies, material science, and bionics. It was only after revisiting dozens of disciplines in my mind like a carousel that I realized I had thought too much.
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh at that moment... I usually think too little.
"Because of the Rose Mother?"
Though it was a question, my tone was very certain. There was nothing uncertain about it; the power source of the Mercury Lamp had nothing to do with the spring behind that girl—though I would idly wind it up when bored, that never unleashed a hundred thousand horsepower, which was solid proof. The spring was merely a key for her; what truly drove the doll's body to move and enabled her to function like a living being was the Rose Mother hidden inside her.
