Li Ran couldn't help but ask: "What is the truth?"
The corners of Hong Ling's mouth raised slightly, and she replied predictably: "You have no right to know right now."
"No authority" again, Li Ran thought a little crazily, does this mysterious cracker organization like to tell lies so much?
He simply put a straight face on his face and replied seriously to Hong Ling: "Then, I refuse to join."
"?"
"You don't say anything and just let others join. What is that if it's not a cult?" Li Ran said angrily.
"Then, let me show you some insights that others don't know," Hong Ling sighed softly, looking at Li Ran's helpless expression, "I really don't know if you are reckless or stupid, you know, before you What lies before us is an incredibly valuable opportunity.”
She pointed to the blue ocean reflected by the lights under the dinner boat, and asked: "Miss Feibai, tell me, what is the height of the seaside dam in the coastal area?"
Han Feibai replied without thinking: "Fifty meters, everyone in Qingjiang City knows it."
"No, in fact, as the sea level rises, the sea dam in the coastal area has already been raised to 100 meters."
Han Feibai exclaimed: "This is impossible. When we came we could clearly see that the height of the dam is only fifty meters."
"Do you think the ocean is really as calm as we see it?" Hong Ling turned her body slightly and looked into the depths of the ocean. ""There has never been a storm in the sea below us. Have you never doubted it? "
After Hong Ling's reminder, both Li Ran and Han Feibai showed thoughtful expressions. The water above the sea dam is clear all year round. Under the control of the weather controller, even if there is precipitation, it is wind and drizzle, which is completely different from the moody marine ecology. Take the edge.
However, no one ever seems to notice this.
Hongling pointed out the truth: "Actually, where we are is not a real sea at all. This is an inner lake between two sea-blocking dams. The fifty-meter dam is only the first phase of the project. And outside the field of vision, deep in the ocean that we cannot see, a sea-blocking dam with a height of 100 meters has just been built."
Li Ran said in surprise: "But we never knew this."
"You are right. Most residents of Qingjiang City don't know this," Hong Ling nodded with satisfaction. "What is outside the city? It is land destroyed by nuclear war, large areas of ecological collapse and deadly pollution. Zone, the next-generation city managed by AI is like a strong eggshell, protecting weak humans from the threats of polluted zones and seawater.”
"People hide in the city and use voting to determine the weather in various regions, and use voting to determine the most palatable and comfortable urban environment. No matter how bad the economic situation is, residents without assets can still get enough food to survive in Hukou. No one Will starve to death."
"AI analyzes their preferences and pushes them favorite videos, favorite shopping information, and even favorite advertisements, blocking information push that is unwelcome and may cause anxiety and pain."
"So, why don't most residents of Qingjiang City know that the height of the outer sea dam has been raised to 100 meters? Because no one cares about the actual situation of the city. They firmly believe that AI will solve all threats to mankind. They don’t want to see it, so the AI won’t let them see it.”
Hong Ling's rhetoric surprised Li Ran and Han Feibai. It is hard to imagine that such a stupid group phenomenon would occur in today's highly developed world of science and technology.
Hongling and the cracker organization behind it seem to be looking at the world from a new perspective.
However, facing Hongling's invitation, Li Ran had a bold idea.
Since the Crackers organization claims to know the truth about the world, it is better to ask this.
"There is a question that has been bothering me," Li Ran looked at the gentle-faced Hongling and said in a deep voice, "Can you answer it for me? If you can tell me the answer to this question, I will join the crackers. organize."
"Excuse me."
"Amber Technology claims that all NPCs in Broken Star are mechanical AI, that is, weak artificial intelligence without self-awareness. Their expressions, desires, behaviors and logic are just simulation calculations of human personality." Li Ran's voice became louder and louder. Come smaller and smaller.
He looked at Hong Ling seriously and asked the question that had been hidden deep in his heart for a long time, but that confused him: "Is Broken Star real or virtual? Are those NPCs just a bunch of cold codes and numbers? My own soul?”
Hong Ling did not answer, but lowered her head to think. After a while, she slowly said: "This is a very good question... For the rich, Broken Star is just a toy for entertainment. , for the poor, Broken Star is a tool for them to make a living. Players care about attributes and values, the growth of levels, and the gold coins earned, but few people care about what Broken Star is essentially."
Li Ran couldn't wait to ask: "So, what exactly is it?"
"Sorry, I can't answer you because I don't know either, but I believe that the organization knows the answer to this question." Hong Ling stuck out her tongue slightly, and the answer she gave left Li Ran quite speechless. "If you want to know, then accept the invitation with Miss Feibai and join the organization."
After Li Ran and Han Feibai made eye contact, they replied: "In that case, let's join the cracker organization."
"Very good," Hong Ling said with a happy smile, "Now I have completed another task..."
"?"
"Ahem..." Hongling coughed and continued, "Mr. Li Ran, Miss Feibai, from today on, I will be your upline. Now please accept the first task assigned by the organization. I I had it in mind before I came here.”
Li Ran said seriously: "Please tell me."
"Strengthen the Star Wind Leader. Don't let the Star Wind Leader disappear before the long night comes. The organization needs your power."
Just when Li Ran was about to continue asking, a dazzling light suddenly shone from his head.
Accompanied by violent airflow and violent propeller noise, a black jet-armed flying car appeared in the sky above the dinner boat.
Two mechanical police officers used jetpacks to jump off the flying car and landed on the small restaurant.
At the same time, a new cruise ship came quickly towards this side, and the reception manager who led Li Ran and Han Feibai into the sea boat hurriedly walked onto the dining boat.
"Mr. Li Ran, Ms. Han Feibai, and Ms. Hongling, I really didn't expect this to happen. I called the police as soon as I heard the gunfire. Are you all okay?"
"Ah, Miss Hongling, you are injured!"
The bullet holes that penetrated Hong Ling's body could no longer be seen on her chest, only her clothes soaked in blood.
The robot police immediately investigated the scene. They found a food delivery robot nearby that had been destroyed and thrown into the water. It was speculated that the robot that boarded the dinner boat to assassinate had destroyed and replaced it during the food delivery.
After inspecting the killer robot, the robot police said they could do nothing to investigate the case.
For a robot that commits suicide, all reserved information and memory systems have been self-destructed, making it impossible to recover and there are no clues to search for.
After the restaurant offered a large sum of compensation, the vicious murder went unsolved.
This is very consistent with Li Ran's understanding and understanding of the mechanical police.
After completing the improvement work, Hong Ling sent her private communication number to Li Ran.
The two parties parted ways, and Li Ran and Han Feibai took a speed train back to their homes in Yangyin District.
Li Ran took off his formal jacket and bulletproof vest, let out a sigh of relief, and lay down on the sofa in the living room.
Han Feibai gathered up her dress and sat down on a uniquely designed chair.
She asked softly: "This cracker organization always seems unreliable."
Li Ran analyzed and said: "The organization knows my identity and the existence of Xingfeng Leader. I think there is no need for Hongling to lie to us about this matter. What she said should be true."
Han Feibai added: "I think so too, but I didn't expect that Hongling turned out to be a bionic robot."
"This is her secret," Li Ran said, "We don't want to leak it to anyone."
Han Feibai nodded and asked, "What should we do next?"
Li Ran's voice rang out: "How is the recent development of future technology?"
Han Feibai said while thinking: "Future Technology is on the right track, and we are marching into the physical manufacturing industry. Although Wanrong Group has launched a counterattack against us, the current Future Technology is no longer as easy to bully as it used to be. We can withstand it." Their suppression.”
"Very good," Li Ran said in a weak voice, "After I finish the work here, I'm going on a long journey."
"Far away?" Han Feibai's voice was a little nervous, "Where are you going?"
"I'm talking about Ashan," Li Ran said with a smile. "The Starwind Fleet and the magic ship docked in Hammerfell Town are ready. I will lead the team to set sail to find the origin of the Dragon Blood Crystal. Next Won't be back for a long time."
"So, the Star Wind Guild in the Wolf Principality and the future technology of Qingjiang City are all entrusted to you."
As Li Ran spoke, he tried to stand up, but suddenly lost strength and fell limply on the sofa.
Only then did Han Feibai notice that Li Ran's left arm was soaked in blood. It turned out that he had been shot by a bullet while fighting the killer robot.
Han Feibai immediately fell into panic. He rushed to Li Ran and called Li Ran's name loudly, but got no response.
what to do?
Could the bullet be poisonous? Li Ran showed no signs of waking up.
Han Feibai touched Li Ran's chest and felt that Li Ran's heartbeat seemed to be slowing down little by little, and his breathing became more and more even.
Han Feibai suddenly panicked, and the usually thick-lined beauty chairman looked at the man in front of her with worry.
A slow heartbeat is a sign of imminent death!
In extreme anxiety, Han Fei was determined to start artificial respiration for Li Ran.
She immediately leaned down and stopped in mid-air.
At an extremely close distance in front of her, Li Ran faintly woke up.
"Sorry, Sister Fei, I suddenly felt a little tired just now, and I accidentally fell asleep..."
Li Ran groaned and opened his eyes, looking at the beautiful woman next to him. He felt the hot touch on his chest and the sweet smell that hit his face, and he fell into a huge shock.
"Sister Fei, you..."
Han Feibai immediately sat up straight. At this moment, her whole body was soft and she wanted to crawl into the ground in embarrassment.
This bastard...he just suddenly fell asleep! It's a shame I'm so worried about him!
"I...I just..." Han Feibai explained weakly, "I just suspected that the bullet that shot you was poisonous, and I wanted artificial respiration to save you. Don't think too much about it!"
"Oh..." Li Ran nodded and said, "No, artificial respiration can detoxify?"
Han Feibai was shocked to find that his questioning was impeccable!
Suddenly, the beautiful chairman's cheeks were so red that they seemed to be dripping with water, and she, who had always been strong, felt overwhelming grievance and humiliation in her heart!
How...how should I explain...But what I just told was obviously the truth...
This bastard...
No, he must not be allowed to gain the upper hand!
The chairman of Future Technology's strange pride began to take effect, thinking that Li Ran had been tortured to the point of submission in the game she designed, and now he has not only become her invisible leader, but also made her suffer such humiliation at this moment...
Han Feibai must fight for this tone!
She was dominated by a sudden and huge impulse. Only one action could make Li Ran speechless! There is only one action that can severely suppress his majesty! There is only one action that can allow her to recreate the pleasure of being completely controlled and dominated by Li Ran when she was a game tester!
When Han Feibai recovered from the impulse, she had already leaned down, and an electric shock-like feeling spread from the beginning and gradually spread throughout her body.
The arrogant chairman suddenly opened his eyes wide, raised his head in shock, and separated from Li Ran like a bullet. He straightened his waist and sat stiffly next to the man.
What did I just do! ?
Li Ran on the sofa was indeed in a state of shock as she expected. He looked at her in surprise. The confusion, suspicion and other emotions contained in his eyes stabbed her from behind, making her feel ashamed.
Reading with rice balls
"Sister Fei, you..."
"Don't say it!" Han Feibai said angrily, "Don't say it, let me say it."
Han Feibai took a deep breath, trying to stabilize her rationality and mood that were about to collapse, and tried to speak in a natural-sounding voice: "I was just joking when I said I would use artificial respiration to help you detoxify."
What am I talking about?
"Li Ran, thank you," Han Feibai sighed softly and said what he had been hiding in his heart, "Thank you for being my game tester and supporting the games I made..."
"Thank you for helping me get out of jail and avoid jail time..."
"Thank you for everything you have done for Future Technology Co., Ltd...."
"Also, thank you for saving me today."
"So, just now it was a reward for you, don't do it next time!"
