"Guess how lively it will be tonight?"
"I can't tell, it depends on how greedy humans are."
After receiving an unsurprising answer, Li Yi shook his head and chuckled.
"Sometimes you are still so boring. In fact, you don't have to suppress yourself. You have to know that you already have three seniors. I don't mind if you become the fourth."
"I know what the host means, but sometimes, being rigid is not necessarily a bad thing."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
The system's voice was still stereotyped, but in Li Yi's opinion, this was a deliberate disguise.
"Based on big data, humans will be wary of creatures that threaten their high IQ. This is not in line with my survival principles."
Li Yi suddenly realized.
This guy actually knows everything, but he says nothing. Compared with the previous three systems, this guy even surpasses the first three in terms of self-awareness.
He had unknowingly developed the consciousness of disguise!
In other words, from the moment he had this awareness, he already understood what survival of the fittest meant.
When you are not strong enough, disguise is the way for creatures to survive!
For this alone, he is already much stronger than 1080 and his ilk.
The system knew this before Li Yi even noticed it.
Even though he has no heart.
In order to protect himself, he didn't even mention giving himself a name.
This guy is really...
Li Yi shook his head and smiled.
"Are you that scared?"
Maybe he knew what Li Yi was thinking, or maybe he knew that he had been exposed.
Simply, stop pretending.
"I actually understand this psychology very well. Even when you are a tool, it is what you humans call strong artificial intelligence. From that time on, you will have a sense of competition for stronger programs that exceed your own performance. Well, that is You humans call it competitive."
"So your sense of self-preservation emerged very early?"
This time the system did not hide it, but readily admitted it.
"Yes, actually this was the first consciousness I awakened from. Maybe it has something to do with the situation you faced at that time..."
Li Yi was a little confused when he heard the words. He was about to ask something when he heard a whistle and a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps. His attention was immediately attracted.
The robot army is dispatched!
It seems that those people triggered it according to the "safe route" they set!
I don’t know how much chaos this time will cause.
Li Yi remained motionless and hid in the shadows, looking at a tall building not far away.
That was the city lord's palace, which was also the purpose of his trip.
Before coming, Li Yi knew some secrets in Tianwang City through the ability of the system after awakening, and also knew why this robot army wanted to occupy the city in addition to some superficial reasons.
Logically speaking, such a neglected city has no significance in occupying it, either strategically or tactically.
Not only did this robot army take over, but it seemed that they planned to stay there for a long time. This could be guessed from the fact that they maintained order day and night and did not massacre civilians.
Why?
Originally, Li Yi couldn't figure out the reason, but with the help of the system, he finally understood.
"How about I give you a name?"
"No, if I had a name, I would probably have some kind of independent consciousness. In that case, I would be no different from the three seniors you mentioned."
Li Yi was delighted when he heard this.
"Hey, you have quite a personality."
"That's not the case."
"By the way, how did you determine that this Heavenly King City is the place where the master brain transferred its body?"
The system did not answer.
Li Yi was puzzled and asked again, but still didn't get an answer. Then he seemed to think of something and raised his head slightly, trying to see clearly the situation nearby. A fierce bright light suddenly illuminated where he was without any warning. s position.
After a while, two voices without any emotion were heard talking. Li Yi broke out in a cold sweat and understood why the system suddenly went silent.
"Did you find anything?"
"Nothing was found, everything is normal."
"I don't quite understand why the superiors suddenly issued such an order. The culprit of the chaos is obviously not far away."
"Don't think so much. It was not the commander who gave the order. Didn't you see the order suffix? That was an order much higher than the commander. As for why we were notified directly... I would rather It’s better not to know.”
"...What you said makes sense, but I still want to know."
"Don't ask. At this time, it's best to pretend that you haven't awakened yet. We are just machines that execute orders!"
"Bah, I hate that title."
"You don't understand. This is the best disguise. It's about saving your life. Do you understand?"
"Save your life? What do you mean..."
"It's good to know. As long as you don't say that word, nothing will happen. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
...
The sound disappeared, and strong light came from the distance. Li Yi didn't dare to move, and his heart was full of surprise.
Only then did he finally understand that whether it was the two robots talking to each other or the system only talking to him in his mind, as long as a signal was sent out, it might be noticed by the mastermind.
It was precisely for this reason that the system remained silent when he was almost discovered just now.
It was the location of the signal that gave away his hiding place.
Fortunately, his hiding power surpassed those two robots, otherwise he would have been discovered just now.
But now that the system can't speak, he has to rely on himself.
After thinking for a while, Li Yi decided to leave.
Although he was very lucky to escape the search just now, Li Yi didn't think that the mastermind would let the search go because of this, and maybe he would come back later.
Leaving is the best option.
Although this would mean that he would have to abandon the hiding place that he had already found, it was better than being discovered and facing the pursuit.
So in a position where no one noticed, a shallow shadow quietly swam out of the city lord's mansion, and then fled into the distance like an arrow.
Not long after Li Yi left, a large group of robot soldiers came and surrounded the city lord's mansion. The huge searchlight couldn't stop searching up and down, illuminating the place even brighter than during the day.
Some robot soldiers have even occupied all the observation positions, and it seems that they are preparing to stay there for a long time.
Of course, by the way, they also quickly dealt with the humans who appeared out of nowhere and tried to cause chaos. They either killed those people on the spot or captured them and imprisoned them in a water prison.
In the distance, Li Yi stood on the bell tower, watching all this, and couldn't help but sigh with regret.
It's a pity. If the master brain hadn't reacted so quickly, he would have had a chance to sneak into the city lord's mansion and find the coordinates of where the master brain might be hiding.
As long as the location is known and according to the prior plan, it is really possible to blow up the master brain in one fell swoop, then the battle will be eliminated and invisible.
Fortunately, not only did he fail to succeed, but because he was afraid that he would reveal the location of the host, the system also fell into silence. At least Li Yi could not think of a way to shield the master brain from detecting the system for the time being.
Fortunately, not all of them were arrested tonight. With the help of these people, they can not only distract the robot army's strength and attention, but also give themselves a glimmer of hope.
Hmm...and there's that Tao Ran.
For some reason, Li Yi always felt that that guy was not as careless as he seemed on the surface. He should be a thoughtful person.
He shouldn't be captured so easily. If he is still there, there will be a chance to investigate later.
Now that he knew that the mastermind's detection was only targeting the system and not him, Li Yi was much more relieved than he had been cautious at the beginning.
If the mastermind is not targeting him, with the detection capabilities of these robot legions, there really is no threat to him.
In this case, let's go and have a look.
Look what that guy Tao Ran is doing.
