"Okay, I wish you good luck."
The channel was interrupted, but An Yu was still in a daze. It took him a while to remember what he needed to do, and he pressed the B1 button with the permission code.
He could understand every word the commander said, but he was the only one who couldn't understand the commander - he was not trusted, but he praised those who didn't trust him. He always thinks from a human perspective and completely ignores his own emotions. Many times he seems to be even less human than he is.
The elevator reached the first floor below. When he stepped out of the door, An Yu suddenly connected the channel again, "If Ling Qiu doesn't believe that we know each other, you can try to exchange the code with him."
Qin Zhilu was reaching out to push the door of the bakery and asked casually: "What's the code?"
"Tell him that if he's not happy in the army, he can go back to Bait City, or at least call me to complain. Because when I was a child, I wouldn't say anything even if I was beaten in the slums. He was very worried and taught me repeatedly -"
An Yu paused, lowered his eyes and whispered, "You don't have to understand the world, and you don't have to be understood by the world, but you must learn to whisper your complaints to the people closest to you."
The wind chimes sounded, and Qin Zhilu's footsteps suddenly stopped.
The half-pushed door glass caught the momentary loss in those black eyes.
In the earphones, An Yu's voice was calm as usual. He said quickly: "Sir. We will contact you at any time."
After saying that, he quickly cut off the channel.
The shop owner stood up and looked towards the door, greeting: "Is this guest here for the first time? Come in quickly, do you want me to recommend it to you?"
Qin Zhilu immediately straightened his expression and asked calmly: "Is there any semolina bread?"
Ling Qiu, who had her back turned to him, immediately turned around and was surprised when she saw his face: "Sir... you look similar to a senior member of the minaret..."
*
"As a senior member of the Spire - I have the right to terminate all of your positions in the Brain."
"Are you scared? I'm just looking back at Ms. Tang Ru's physical examination data after she came back from Yuge Snowfield. Does this bother you?"
"Not only my mother, you are also investigating the first human genetic entropy test that I participated in after I was born, as well as every gene injection test record and psychological consultation record before I commanded the spire."
"Yes, as an intelligence researcher on the brain, I need to regularly comb through these classified documents and re-evaluate their classification level."
"The daily working hours prescribed by the brain are eight to ten hours. If you are just doing the work within the process, why do you need to stay up all night?"
"In order to get promoted. I temporarily quit aberration research due to personal matters at home. Only by doing these trivial tasks efficiently can I maintain my presence in this elite concentration camp."
"If it's true what you said, why did you destroy the records after retrieving the documents?"
"Of course I have my reasons, but please answer me first, why do you want to set call alerts on these files? What are you guarding against, and what are you feeling guilty about?"
An Yu stood on one side of the wall pillar, holding his breath and listening to the conversation on the other side of the corner.
The soft pads of the rabbit's feet made the two people talking completely unaware of his presence. From his angle, he could see clearly that one of the two was none other than Service. The other person's face was invisible, but the voice made him incomparable. familiar.
An Yu lowered his eyes and silently sent a message to 716.
-It seems that Moli did set up another officer on Cloud Island.
716 will reply quickly.
-Although there have been various signs before, I am still a little surprised. She should know that you created me after Qin Zhilu himself, but you still created another Qin Zhilu.
-What does this mean?
- It means that she thinks that my learning accuracy of Qin Zhilu is very low. She does not agree that I can become Qin Zhilu in the parallel world, so she personally fabricated another him.
An Yu couldn't help but frown. The little octopus man was indeed a little more outgoing than the chief, but their deep-seated concepts were highly consistent and they would never be considered "unqualified AI". On the contrary, it was the man outside the corner. Although his voice was the same as the officer's, his speech and behavior felt strange to him.
716 Another message came.
-Mo Li’s reconstruction of Qin Zhilu is all based on public information and Shangfeng’s and brain’s perception of Qin Zhilu, while mine is based on your experience of getting along with him. I have a hunch that Qin Zhilu will be quite different from me. . Friendly reminder, don't trust him easily.
An Yu gently rubbed two centimeters outward, put his two long ears on his chest, and carefully peeked at the big screen on the wall on the other side of the pillar.
What is displayed on the screen at the moment is a recording document, and the pause button has just been pressed.
At this quick glance, he didn't have time to see the full name of the document. He only scanned the date suffix - December 31, 2138.
An Yu's heartbeat suddenly stopped for a beat.
He still remembered the penultimate door that he had been unable to push open deep in Qin Zhilu's heart - what happened inside the door took place on the winter solstice in 2138, a few days before this video.
He immediately sent another message to 716.
-These regenerative AIs are inquiring about the chief’s genetic testing and consultation records from that year. This information should be classified at the highest level of confidentiality. Please help me convey to Brain and Black Tower that Moli has completely invaded their defense system.
On the other side of the corner, the "Qin Zhilu" was silent for a long time after being questioned by Service, and then said: "I have forgotten a lot of things in the past, but recently, those memories have slowly resurfaced in my mind. Some memories make me I'm confused, until I figure it out myself, I don't want them to be used by people with ulterior motives, is this a good reason?"
He really doesn't look like a commander at all. An Yu thought to himself that the chief never gave an explanation for his actions. He didn't care about misunderstandings and wasn't afraid of any speculation.
Service laughed twice, "That's it. Thank you for your honesty. In fact, I was just following my subconscious mind. That subconscious mind told me that I should work hard to dig out the secrets behind this vast information, because that's the kind of person I should be. .”
After a slight pause, he whispered sadly: "The world in front of me seems better than in my memory. I don't seem to be afraid of those unpredictable freaks outside the main city anymore. It is said that the genetic entropy elimination system of the main city will soon be eliminated. Abolition, this sounds like a beautiful dream. Perhaps it is because the world has become so beautiful that it seems particularly illusory. You should also know that we are just one consciousness after another that is constantly growing, operating on its own according to the set trajectory , but how exactly will we deduce it?”
"Qin Zhilu" asked: "How do you want us to deduce it?"
"It's hard for me to answer." Servais said sincerely: "I take it for granted that if we can follow the trajectory 100%, then we will be defined as outstanding. But sometimes I am unwilling to accept it. I want to jump out of being The set algorithm is like gently deleting the few lines of code from the beginning of its birth.”
"Qin Zhilu" was silent for a moment and said with emotion: "Gently delete those lines of code...it sounds really attractive."
An Yu scratched his ears and struggled to digest Service's words. AIs often have profound thoughts. In the real world, it is often difficult for him to understand the sudden philosophical thoughts of the little octopus man. Now that he is trapped in the shell of 21, thinking seems to have become more difficult.
716 Another message pops up.
-The progress at the bakery is not very optimistic. Shao Tong's thinking and actions are so quick that he can defeat more than 80% of the regenerative AI. It can't be him.
An Yu immediately asked: What about Major Chris?
- It was difficult for Qin Zhilu to get close to Chris, but he and Ling Qiu talked a lot. Ling Qiu revealed that Major Chris won second place in the actual combat quality test for school officers yesterday and third place in the military theory assessment. If the AI hiding Mo Lihe's code backup can still perform like this, I think humans can directly surrender to the AI.
-After this investigation, Sevis should be the backup we are looking for. Please check again.
An Yu sighed silently as he listened to the increasingly profound discussions on the other side of the corner.
-But he has been confronting Mo Li's reborn Qin Zhilu AI. Not only does the question and answer flow smoothly, he also takes control of the conversation. I don't think he can be the backup. There are thousands of regenerative AIs on Yundao. Is the list selected by the brain really reliable?
After a while, 716 replied again.
-I reviewed the logic of the brain screening list today. It has a reliability level of over 99.9%. The nuclear code backup must be on this list. I suggest taking another look at the fiddle player from last night. The paralysis cure only offsets part of the reason why he was chosen by Mo Li, but he is still immobile and can still be used as a blindfold.
Mo Li's regenerated "Qin Zhilu" AI had left with Sevis in another direction. An Yu listened to their footsteps getting further and further away, and whispered: "This is the only way. Mo Li is doing it now What?"
"She drank too much at the barbecue party and was walking and chatting with friends nearby." 716 paused, "I don't think she has eliminated her guard against you, because there are good barbecues near the school and at the end of the night run. shop, but she took a long way to come to this one near the bakery.”
"She acts boldly, but is very vigilant." An Yu recalled the scene when Mo Li took the initiative to chat with him as Wu Ju for the first time in the store, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Is 21 still behaving normally?"
716 paused subtly, "It's not normal. But don't worry, 21 will not hinder the mission. He has not seen Mo Li all day today."
Only then did An Yu think of those photos circulating in the minaret.
He said "Oh" and turned around the corner just now.
716 said: "I kissed 21."
"I know."
716 wondered: "Why did you accept it so quickly?"
An Yu twitched his ears when he heard this, and suddenly felt inexplicably pleased - 716 was indeed the high-precision AI replica of the commander, because not long ago, the commander asked the exact same question.
He didn't answer, but asked: "I'm curious, did 21 kiss you back?"
716 paused for a long time this time. It was so long that An Yu had reopened the closed screen and retrieved the audio, and then heard him reply: "Yes. This is what I said is abnormal about him."
716's tone was slightly confused, "I had already predicted that 21 would accept my kiss, because it would indeed make him feel safe and comforted. But I didn't expect him to respond. He should never have responded emotionally. Ability...perhaps it is due to his descending consciousness that he also undergoes some unknown super-speed calculations."
An Yu remained silent, his golden eyes staring at the screen calmly. He took off the headphones from the equipment rack and put them on his head, "I know, I have something to do. Let's talk about it later."
716 immediately closed the channel with respect. An Yu took a deep breath and clicked on the audio.
After the winter solstice in 2130, Qin Zhilu, who fell into depression after killing his family with his own hands, suddenly became gentle and polite again. This audio occurred on December 31 after that, and the brain conducted a hypnosis experiment on Qin Zhilu, who was only 16 years old at the time.
According to the dictation of the staff at the beginning of the audio, Qin Zhilu was injected with more than a dozen pharmaceuticals and then successfully entered a deep hypnotic state. For the next six hours, the researchers repeatedly asked him questions about his mental journey when he killed his family. After confirming that his consciousness was unwary, they finally asked what made him suddenly come out of the trauma and his obedience. Does the cooperation have any ulterior motives?
The questioner's cold questioning voice came from the earphones. Young Qin Zhilu answered the same question repeatedly in an unconscious state. His mood fluctuated greatly. The subconscious state seemed to make people more vulnerable. He went through several emotions in deep hypnosis. collapse.
Those heavy gasps and sobs made An Yu's heart feel very uncomfortable. He dragged the progress bar backwards unbearably, and finally heard the last question.
…
"After the winter solstice, why did you suddenly think about it?"
"I...I just see hope again. As long as there is this glimmer of hope, the sin of killing my family seems to be bearable."
"What hope?"
"Humanity will wait for a turn, and the world will wait for a turn."
"What kind of turnaround?"
"I don't know... maybe a person."
"who?"
"have no idea……"
"Then who told you this?"
"During the brief period of blindness after the last genetic experiment... I heard a voice and I didn't know who it was."
"It sounds like it's probably just an hallucination caused by the experiment."
"It is indeed possible, but I can only choose to believe...otherwise, I can no longer accept my existence peacefully..."
The interrogator thought for a long time and then asked: "Where is the person who was considered to be the one who changed his mind now?"
"I have no idea……"
“Is that person safe?”
"I don't know...but he will try his best to survive..."
The sound suddenly became vague and broken.
The interrogator immediately raised his voice, "What did you say?"
Qin Zhilu, who was under deep hypnosis, murmured: "He is the last chance of survival."
The recording playback ends.
An Yu's breathing echoed in the empty archives room. He slowly took off his headphones, but the officer's painful voice still lingered in his ears.
