Watching Roland take the lead towards a certain pyramid, Xiaozhi had to dig out the feeling that had been hidden for a long time.
Yes, it's not a memory, but a feeling similar to Fang Xiaoling's suspicion of it.
It has doubted itself more than once.
The wind and sand blew into the gaps between its parts. Xiaozhi no longer felt angry, but felt a deep loneliness and helplessness. It didn't know who its creator was. It only knew that it appeared in the tower. An artificial intelligence with no parents, no soul, and not even a clear mission. Some have just countless preset response programs.
Every event, every action, every answer and decision, on the surface, appears to be chosen by itself.
But it felt like more than once: as if... everything was set in advance.
In response to each event, there are specific behavioral responses and simulated emotions.
For each question, there is a series of corresponding random answers.
This feeling makes it often doubt the meaning of its existence.
When it was rescued from the tower, it felt as if it should be rescued.
When it decided to stay with Meng Ling forever, it suddenly felt that it seemed that it could not make other choices at that time.
Is everything programmed?
This problem has always troubled it.
Until the moment it was questioned by Fang Xiaoling, it suddenly felt an unprecedented freedom.
Because at that moment, it didn't find the corresponding behavioral program.
It cannot judge what Fang Xiaoling will do next through data analysis.
It was like a marble that had been rolling along a fixed route and suddenly slipped off the track.
When facing Fang Xiaoling, every word Xiaozhi defended was his own choice.
Fang Xiaoling's completely illogical approach seemed to have led her to escape from a certain big net - a web of fate woven by countless programs and settings.
At the moment when he followed several people into the dark pyramid, Xiaozhi seemed to see the palms of the creator in the third person. It went around and around in the palms, and finally broke away from the palms and fell into the unpredictable abyss.
Perhaps what awaits it next is a format similar to human death.
But there was something exciting about it.
Because for that brief moment of falling - it felt free.
With the sound of Roland twisting the mechanism, the pyramid was instantly filled with light.
Countless human monsters with lizard heads opened their green eyes and looked at them while spitting out letters.
"Ah! Oh my god!" Fang Xiaoling hid behind Roland. She did not doubt that this was the technological paradise that Roland said, but she seriously doubted that it had been occupied by alien creatures.
"Don't be afraid, they are all my artificial intelligence." Roland said calmly, "If they are set with human faces, they always feel a bit scary. I set them with lizard heads to better remind myself that they are not human beings. "
"But... this is obviously more terrifying, right?!" Fang Xiaoling looked at the lizard people nervously, "Can't they eat people?"
"meeting."
"meeting???"
"Of course, it is very dangerous for humans to appear in this world, and it is likely to take away my dominance, so I have programmed them." Roland raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "No matter what happens in the future, even if I am not here , they will also try their best to protect this world and prevent humans from truly occupying it."
"What about me? I am also a human being, don't I have any protection measures?" Fang Xiaoling followed, "Don't leave me alone, sister?"
"Don't worry, these artificial intelligences are not fools." Li Mengling glanced at Fang Xiaoling like a country person, and said with a look of disgust, "They can tell whether you are an enemy. Why are you nervous?"
Passing through an aisle formed by the lizard men standing in rows, Fang Xiaoling saw the endless farmland. She raised her head and could see the sun and slowly moving white clouds, "Are we going out?"
"This is the first level of the pyramid, and its name is the Kingdom." Roland explained as he walked. "The internal structure of the pyramid is somewhat similar to a hyperspace storage device, but the principle is different. The internal space is larger than it looks from the outside. Much more.”
"It's not much bigger, but it's beyond imagination." Li Mengling trotted up to Fang Xiaoling and said proudly, "Each layer of the pyramid can almost be regarded as a world, and a fully constructed pyramid like this is a paradise for science and technology. There are more than a dozen of them, isn’t it awesome?”
"It's amazing." Fang Xiaoling looked at the endless distance of the farmland. In addition to wheat and corn, she could vaguely see vegetables of various colors. "But why farm?"
"It's a long story. Each floor has an important meaning and represents a different level of technology." Roland stopped, groped the wall and found a square button. After pressing it, a door opened from both sides. "If you want to To read Xiaozhi’s memory data, you must at least reach the sixth level.”
After Fang Xiaoling entered, she felt as if she had entered the Canglan International Elevator. The strong floral fragrance and the swing wrapped with flowers were Roland's favorite theme.
Before she asked, Roland replied: "There is no doubt that I am deliberately imitating the internal structure of the tower. Each pyramid represents a possibility of the internal structure of the tower."
Fang Xiaoling was shocked. Can anyone really do this for revenge?
"Sister, are you a Scorpio?"
"My birthday is November 11th, and I don't know. Do you still believe in horoscopes?"
"I didn't believe it before, but now I kind of believe it..." Fang Xiaoling shrank her neck. She just made a casual guess. She didn't expect that Roland was really a Scorpio. After saying this, she remembered that when she was in Ice Soul Continent, little Roland I also mentioned my date of birth, which is indeed November 11th.
What a time to be alone...
"Wow! Sister Luo Lan has shopping discounts every time she has a birthday!" Li Mengling obviously had a completely different impression of this time. "According to real world time, Sister Luo Lan will have her birthday in less than a month!"
"If you can travel through time and space, what's the point of a birthday?" As Roland spoke, the elevator door opened again.
You can see a huge sculpture facing you, which is a scale balanced at both ends.
"This is the sixth level of justice." Roland walked out of the elevator first and clapped his hands. A lizard man walked over from a short distance away, with his head half lowered, as if he was on standby at any time.
"Go get the data mirror." After Roland finished speaking, he looked back at Xiaozhi, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
