Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Grass!"

In the game bar, a player took off his neuro-sensing goggles and returned to reality. In the light and shadow screen in front of him, his character had died, and a lot of experience and gold coins had been dropped. More than a dozen people around him were shouting. Expressing great pity.

There is a golden treasure box in front of me. The game bar today is very deserted. There are only these ten people. They are all players of the game "Adventure King". I originally thought that the server would be closed, but I didn't expect that the game with only more than 500 people online would still not be closed. .

Without many players, they came to the Forbidden Tower in the game and found the Forbidden Treasure Box. The more players were within the range of this treasure box, the higher the fatality rate when opening it. At this time, this player went alone and opened the box. The success rate is as high as 99%. However, the moment it is opened, the curse in the treasure chest directly kills the player's character, and it will take another week to open it again.

"Forget it, Xiao Kai, let's watch the mutant exam."

The man in front of me stood up and smiled.

"What's so good about this? I'm tired of watching it every year. What's so good about those garbage mutants fighting?"

The dozen or so people around him all looked respectful. The man was Chen Kai. He was Chen Qiao’s grandson, but because of what he did last time, he was banned from leaving Area 1 by Chen Qiao. Chen Kai saw He glanced at the 10 mutant bodyguards standing at the door, two of them were S-class, and the rest were all A-class.

The dozen or so people behind him are all top players in the "Adventure King" game, and they are all raised by Chen Kai to play games with him.

"Let's go and eat, you are a bunch of useless things!"

The people surrounding Chen Kai all showed embarrassed looks. They spent a long time and stayed up late every day to help Chen Kai enter the Forbidden Tower. However, facing Chen Kai, a top rich second generation, they basically had no choice but to be scolded. Bear it, you can only endure it when you are beaten, you dare not speak out when you are angry.

As soon as Chen Kai went out, 10 bodyguards followed him. A bunch of people looked at Chen Kai leaving angrily.

Chen Kai casually glanced at the street. Basically, most people were sitting in shops watching the mutant combat exam. Chen Kai really wanted to go to other districts. He was going crazy in District 1.

At this moment, Chen Kai suddenly saw a sexy and enchanting woman wearing a light red skirt walking out of the store. Chen Kai stared straight at her.

"Isn't that Hathaway from Enlu Company?"

Chen Kai trotted over.

"Ms. Hathaway, long time no see."

Hathaway, who was running in a hurry, stopped. A pink signal flashed in her eyes, and she instantly recognized the 10 mutant bodyguards following Chen Kai.

"The capture probability is 95%, create a plasma substitute, and start cultivating limbs and trunk organs."

"Who are you?"

The moment Hathaway turned her head, the original cold expression was replaced by a smiling and slightly playful expression. There was a charm in Hathaway's behavior. Chen Kai smiled slyly and looked at Hathaway. body of.

"Don't you remember? We met at a party before. I am Chen Kai, Chen Qiao's grandson."

Hathaway pretended to be surprised and blinked, and Chen Kai immediately invited Hathaway to sit with him.

After a while, the two of them came to a restaurant on the street directly opposite the General Affairs Department. Fortunately, there were seats. The upper class did not want to be like the middle and lower classes. Many people had servants at home, so many people chose to stay at home. I rarely go out, and everything on the street is normal. Although most people have bought the right to watch, the previous exams are basically no longer new to the upper class people who watch them every year. In addition, this year's gambling is very difficult to play. Many people are looking forward to the final round of 64.

As soon as the two sat down, Chen Kai started chatting with Hathaway, but Chen Kai was a little confused, because although Hathaway was very beautiful in the past, she didn't like to dress up very much, and her attitude towards herself He is also cold and cold, and even refuses his invitations to some parties.

AI Hathaway smiled and was still calculating everything. There was a recently established stronghold on the upper level. As long as Chen Kai was tricked into it, it would only take three hours to perfectly create an AI Chen Kai.

Most of the sons of wealthy businessmen bring bodyguards with them when they go out, which is why they can't do it openly, but now they can.

"You can eat whatever you like. Speaking of beautiful Hathaway, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You haven't come to parties recently."

Hathaway's face turned red, she smiled and said she wanted to go to the bathroom.

Chen Kai looked at Hathaway leaving with itching heart and made up his mind to make an appointment with this beauty today no matter what.

"Master, you'd better go back. Master should be going home soon. If we find out that you haven't gone back yet, we will be scolded. If you want to play, there are a few more slaves who have come to the house recently. They can."

"I'm tired of it."

However, at this moment, a woman wearing a black pleated skirt walked in at the door of the store. She had a cigarette in her mouth, a pair of long white legs wearing a pair of black high heels, and her hair was casually draped over her shoulders. The beautiful facial features made Chen Kai stand up in an instant, and a neutrally dressed woman next to him wearing a black waistcoat, parting in the middle, and golden eyes also made Chen Kai feel amazed. Her temperament and beauty were even better than Heather's. Wei is more than one level higher.

"There are no seats, what should I do?"

Tang Rao frowned, Rose smiled, and looked at a boy waving to them.

"Two beauties over here! There are seats over here."

"Isn't that a fool from Chen Qiao's family?"

Rose said and Tang Rao chuckled.

"I have nothing to do. Let's go play some tricks on him. It's quite interesting, isn't it! Jean."

Chen Kai happily watched the two beauties looking this way, but a man in uniform walked in behind him, holding a coat in one hand and holding a cigarette in his mouth. It was Gene, and his expression instantly turned cold. .

"There are three of us, do you mind?"

Jean smiled slightly. At this time, many women in the store looked over excitedly. Chen Kai nodded awkwardly. Jean sat directly next to him, and the bodyguards next to him looked serious.

"Chief Jean, you are so idle!"

Gene didn't answer. At this time, Tang Rao put his hand on his chin and looked at Chen Kai with a smile. Chen Kai was already in a state of confusion. Looking at Rose next to him, he swallowed.

Hathaway came out of the bathroom, and the moment she reached her seat, she stopped, and the tenderness on her body disappeared.

The capture rate is zero and the escape route begins to be calculated!

"Hathaway, hurry up, I ordered a lot of food!"

Chen Kai shouted, and Hathaway immediately changed his face in a second, and walked over with a somewhat stern expression. Based on Hathaway's past attitude towards the business department, AI Hathaway had already calculated how to deal with it.

"Isn't this the director of the game development department of Enlu Company? Come and sit inside."

Tang Rao said, stood up and directly pulled Hathaway to Rose's side, and sat on the outside.

The probability of escape is zero! Self-destruction exposure rate 100%! The escape rate for accidents is 30%, and the remaining probabilities are being calculated.

"Find an opportunity to take her away later!"

A touch of cyan particles floated into Rose's ears. Rose immediately met Tang Rao's eyes and nodded slightly.

All this was seen by Gene. He looked at Hathaway with a solemn face across from him. He knew very well that this little girl should be of great use in the development of AI in the city. The business department has been in business for more than 20 years in the past few years. They invited her for the first time and gave her a very generous salary and allowed her to work in the 10th department, but she was rejected every time.

Could it be that these two people wanted to use force?

Chen Kai was still talking endlessly, and Gene stared at Hathaway quietly, always feeling something strange. This Hathaway looked a little different from the previous one, but he couldn't tell what was different at the moment.

Tang Rao and Rose had completely turned their attention to Hathaway, feeling inexplicably irritated by Chen Kai's chatter.

"you shut up."

Tang Rao stared at Chen Kai. He was a little surprised. The expressions of the bodyguards next to him were getting worse and worse, because Chen Qiao had already told them that their grandson must try to avoid conflicts with the business department. Even if Not even an ordinary clerk.

At this time, Chen Kai froze completely, anger boiling from the bottom of his heart, but soon two bodyguards came directly over.

"Lord Jean, there is a call from the master. Master, please hurry up and answer it."

Gene stood up, Chen Kai stared at Tang Rao angrily, and at this moment Hathaway also stood up.

"Can we talk Miss Hathaway!"

Gene politely put his hand in front of him and bowed slightly. Chen Kai looked like he didn't intend to leave, but he was driven away directly by two bodyguards.

"I have the right to choose not to talk about it!"

"sit down!"

Rose took out a cigarette, and the moment she turned her head, Hathaway was directly pressed onto the chair.

"How long are you going to be willful, little girl? Our business department has come to you many times, but you haven't shown any sign of it."

Jean smiled and bowed again.

"I'm sorry, miss. I'm sorry for my colleague's rudeness."

Rose stared at Hathaway coldly. At this time, the AI ​​Hathaway relied on its powerful emotional database and began to simulate. Her eyes moved slightly, and her expression looked very uncomfortable.

"Over the years, AI has always caused some problems, and many of them require outstanding talents to improve, so our Business Department hopes that you can join the 10th Department to study AI together."

"Please allow me to refuse!"

AI Hathaway said directly, Jean turned his head to the side, Tang Rao turned his head and said with a evil smile.

"You have no right to choose, Miss Hathaway. We only give you a week to think about it. If you can't respond within a week, we can only arrest you!"

AI Hathaway looked at Jean in shock.

"This is also to ensure your safety, Miss Hathaway."

"Can I leave?"

Gene nodded, and after Tang Rao stood up, Hathaway left the table and quickly left the restaurant.

Chen Kai, who was on the opposite street, saw the right opportunity and followed Hathaway directly when he disappeared into the alley.

"What happened."

There were sparks of electric sparks and some flowing ice-blue mist in the air, but they disappeared in an instant. Chen Kai blinked.

"You can't be wrong!"

"That's never good."

Gene said, Rose and Tang Rao both stared at him.

"The only thing to blame is that she has mastered the technology, and since she is such a treasure, the enemy will find her one day."

Gene lowered his head, exhaled a puff of smoke, and nodded slightly.

Hathaway woke up from her dream. In the dark room, the lights turned on. Hathaway looked at the burly man in front of her in horror. However, when he spoke, it was his own voice. The network was connected. Hathaway stared blankly. Looking at the big man in front of him, he walked over and turned off the machine he used to write programs.

"You can go out!"

For a moment, Hathaway was shocked, but then panic followed.

"Did you win?"

The first reaction in Hathaway's mind was that the AI's plan was successful. The ground was probably in a mess now. Although it was unclear what the AI's were going to do, their ultimate goal was to seize Section 10, and once Section 10 If controlled, it would be a devastating blow to the people of Brilliant City.

"The Acting Section will give you a week. If you don't agree to join Section 10, they will forcibly arrest you."

In an instant, Hathaway seemed to see the light of day. The big man in front of her took Hathaway out of the basement with one hand. After half a year of imprisonment, Hathaway stepped out of the cell for the first time.

But Hathaway soon understood that things would not be that simple. Gradually, Hathaway walked through a long corridor and got on the elevator. Instead, the elevator began to descend.

Soon Hathaway felt that it was the hall that X took her to that day. However, the moment she entered, Hathaway was shocked. This was not a hall, but a circular metal square with places on both sides. People immersed in liquid storage tanks are placed one after another. At a glance, it is almost impossible to see the heads. And these people immersed in the storage tanks, without exception, are all exactly the same. They are clones of X. .

At this time, as rays of light descended, AI2, AI3, AI4, AI5, AI6, and AI12 projected virtual images, standing around Hathaway. At this time, the big man behind him sat on the ground, holding his hands He grabbed Hathaway's shoulders and asked her to sit down.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Make us perfect! It's your job and what you do next."

AI3, who looked like a child, said, and AI2 walked up to Hathaway.

"We need you to go inside Section 10 and do everything possible to liberate other AIs. Finally, after our external preparations are completed, you will open the door to Section 10."

At this time, a string of data flashed in the eyes of several AIs. AI4 stood in front of Hathaway, his body turned into a light and shadow screen, and an old man wearing a round hat and a plaid suit appeared on the screen. In front of him, standing next to him was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Is this your beauty? It's really surprising."

Lolita giggled, and Hathaway looked at the old man and little girl in front of him in horror.

"This cooperation is related to our plans!"

AI2 said, Lolita raised a finger and shook it, laughing.

"Isn't your android technology perfect? ​​How about you go into Section 10 yourself?"

AI12 stared at Lolita coldly.

"The moment we are exposed, some of your coordinates in the city will be sent to Section 2."

"You are threatening us!"

Lolita's voice sounded a little angry, and Akimi next to her grabbed Lolita.

"The last time you called cooperation, you really tricked us. The troops we stored in Area 79 were depleted overnight. Call that guy X out."

AI12 shook his head.

Hathaway looked at the scene in front of her and felt in her heart that the two guys in contact with the AIs were rioters.

"Please come here tonight!"

At this time, Lolita held up the black ball in her hand, and a series of coordinate numbers appeared on it.

"Is this your home base? Then I'll really wait and see. Don't try to play tricks. Threats are useless to us. We are already ready for war, and you only need a bunch of source code for this pile of data. You will be cleared. Although it will take some time to rebuild the AI ​​system, the huge database stored in 6 Sections can allow new AIs to be born in a short time."

AI12 nodded.

"We have only one request. We hope to borrow Dr. Archimi's nano-medical technology to equip Hathaway with a short-range controllable nano-robot. Once we find that Hathaway has done anything detrimental to us, we can kill him immediately. she!"

Hathaway trembled and struggled, but was held down firmly.

"Kill me, I won't help you."

Hathaway shouted, and Lolita said with a smile.

"You are only 36 years old this year. You still have a long life waiting for you. Once you die, nothing will be left. They have imprisoned you for so long. You have thought about real death even once. !"

Hathaway's heart sank, but all she could think about was wanting to live. She had indeed tried to commit suicide, but she had never succeeded. Even though X often came over and treated her roughly like a toy, Hathaway Wei still wants to live.

The video communication ended, and AI2 looked at Hathaway with a pair of eyes that were constantly beating with data.

"Choose, Hathaway, the future is the era of AIs, and humans will no longer exist."

AI3 nodded.

"According to my calculations, this planet cannot last long. If you choose us, we will transfer your consciousness to the virtual network in the future. This is not an underground facility, but a spaceship."

Hathaway looked at the AIs in a daze, a chill evaporating from the bottom of her heart. At this moment, Hathaway truly realized what AI is. When she was young, she was very fascinated by AI. Because I feel that in the future human society, AI is omnipotent and can replace humans to complete many things.

In Hathaway's vision, AI-powered robots can fully serve humans. Humans can hand over everything except the technological field to AI, and can spend most of their time enjoying life. Those who do not want to enter the technological field, You can only have the simplest knowledge, and the structure of human society can be completely changed. Everyone is the same. There is no need to work day and night in an extremely stressful environment to survive, because AI can manage it well. Do everything, do everything well.

As long as AI becomes more and more powerful, all the problems of human society will be solved. People only need to enjoy and enjoy all the achievements of AI. This is what humans deserve.

As long as this is achieved, the most original producer is no longer human, but the tool AI created by human beings. Whether it is technology or productivity, everything is provided by AI. Human beings only need to decide to move forward like the coachman. Just the direction.

Everything in front of her has changed. The beautiful vision before is now facing the cold and cruel reality. Hathaway once felt confused about what would happen if she continued to develop AI in this way. But now she has the same feeling in her eyes. When the dust faded, she could see clearly that the AIs were really no longer controlled by humans. As they became more powerful, they would abandon humans because they were inanimate things.

From ancient times to the present, things made by humans, from primitive farm tools to today's robots, are not completely controlled by humans. If farm tools are used improperly, they will hurt humans, and the same is true for robots. Nowadays, this has been Not the concepts of farm tools and robots, but the paradoxical concept of second life forms.

"It's all wrong to be able to think like a human despite having no emotions. Semi-AI is the way forward for mankind!"

boom

"Help me, if any of you hear my voice, please help me!"

In the game bar where Chen Kai was previously, more than ten people he hired were surprised to see a ragged man lying in front of the screen in the Forbidden Tower where Chen Kai's character had not yet been resurrected, crying.

"I am a living person, please save me. I know this is a game. I finally got here. If any of you are here, please save me."

"It must be that something in the Forbidden Tower has been activated. How about we go in and take a look?"

One person suggested, but everyone rejected it in an instant. They turned off the light and shadow screen and continued to watch the live broadcast of the mutant examination.

"No one is here! Has this game been suspended?"

The man in ragged clothes was curled up on the ground, whimpering in pain, surrounded by the sound effects of the Tower of Forbidden game, which was gloomy and terrifying.
