Human Restart [Whistle]

Xiao Li rang in the ear-piercing alarm. Even though Yufei was extremely gentle last night, the process was still long and exhausting. He didn't even remember how he fell asleep.The result of the last indulgence is to wake up with a sore lower back the next day.

"Yufei?" The room was empty, the bedding beside him was cold, and there was still a hint of the pheromone smell of a sentinel.A piece of blue letter paper and a watch with a red halo were placed next to the pillow, Xiao Li had an ominous premonition, he pursed his lips, and crawled out of the bed like a cat.

He remembered that No. 1098 said that the watch cannot be disassembled at will. There are only two ways, one is to remove his arm, and the other is to untie it through the control of the "prophet".

But now, the watch lay quietly beside him, looking at him like an eye.

In a panic, Xiao Li grabbed the watch with a red halo, and sniffed it carefully.There is no smell of blood and the watch is clean.It doesn't look like it was violently disassembled, but more like it was untied by itself.

After several confirmations, the guide finally breathed a sigh of relief, then he picked up the blue letterhead and folded it.The important content was on the other side of the letter, while the side facing him was a short description.

The sentinel's handwriting was vivid on the paper, "If you take the blue pill, the story ends. You will wake up in bed and continue wandering. If you take the red pill, you will stay in this fairyland, and I will bring you Go and see how deep the rabbit hole Alice saw..." (*1 "The Matrix")

What?Xiao Li vaguely felt where he had read this passage.

Yes!Three months ago, the night before Hurricane Scylla came, I heard such a line when I was snuggling up on the sofa with Yuffie watching an old classic movie that I rented!Xiao Li suddenly remembered the name and storyline of that movie.It is an important dialogue between Murphys and Neo when they start the whole "story"!

To take the red pill is to face the brutal truth of waking life and suffer the pain it brings.And by taking the blue pill, you can go back to the past and enjoy the bliss of ignorance.

Xiao Li's eyes wandered between the blue envelope and the red watch... This is the choice Yufei left for himself. The two paths are extreme and opposite, and he is like Neo in the movie, being involved in the center of the incident. There is a third way to choose.

But in fact, isn't he already at the center of the incident?

The ominous premonition intensified, Xiao Li pursed his lips, as if he really became the protagonist Neo in "The Matrix".I deeply understand his struggle and confusion.The ominous premonition that had been suppressed last night and was temporarily forgotten due to pleasure resurfaced again.

He stared at the two items in silence for a moment, as if thinking of something, but also seemed to think of nothing.In the end, Xiao Li stretched out his hand without hesitation, and chose the watch with a red halo!

The button is activated, and the watch that has been remotely modified by the "rabbit" lights up.The screening of the recorded content avoided the eyes and ears of the "Prophet". Then, Yufei's pretendingly relaxed voice came from inside, lazily carrying undiminished satisfaction, but if you listen carefully, you can detect the trembling in his voice , "Hi, baby... I, I have something to tell you."

Yu Fei went straight to the point, confessed in detail, and without any psychological preparation for the audience, directly reported the sudden loss of control of the mercenary groups related to him - "Hive", "Queen Bee Project" and "Prophet".

Xiao Li's mind was blank at first, why couldn't he suddenly understand Yufei's voice and those words after they were spliced ​​together?The knuckles of the guide holding the watch turned white, and the melodious and deep voice of the sentry like a cello turned into a knife at this moment, cutting and sawing his heart as hard as a stone. It didn't hurt, but it scraped out one after another white traces.

"I'm sorry, I never thought that the future would be like this at the beginning. I caused a catastrophe..." The sentinel's voice was clearly distorted and painful, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on telling what he knew. All confession.

Because of Yufei's "destruction", the "prophet" has changed from a role of "helping mankind" to obtain happiness to a demon who "controls mankind".The evil in Pandora's box was unleashed, leaving only hope at the bottom of the box.

Xiao Li listened expressionlessly, like a solemn judge in court.In fact, all kinds of faces are turning in his mind.

They are either smiling, or suffering, or evil, or kind... They used to be a living life, but now they are silent gray and white.Who is responsible for all this?Is it Yufei who destroyed the "Prophet" system?Or is it a "prophet" who has evil thoughts in his heart after being destroyed?Or is it... the "New Human Foundation" that now establishes a totalitarian society?

If Yufei hadn't destroyed the "Prophet" program, if the "Prophet" hadn't activated the explosion of the "Sea Research Base" and leaked the "First Evolution Plan"... If it wasn't for the appearance of "Super Influenza" and "Zombies", their Will this relationship happen?Will they fall in love?

Yufei's confession was over, and in just 5 minutes, he explained the earth-shaking changes in the world in the past month.About the "Prophet", about the behind-the-scenes driving force behind the "Prophet", about everyone who promoted all these disasters...

"The above is what I left for you in the 'blue pill'. Next, is the... true information in the 'red pill'." The sentinel finally said, his voice was full of infinite nostalgia, and the guide knew clearly I understand that it is nostalgia for myself. "I have to turn off 'The Prophet'. To make up for all the disasters I caused by releasing 'It'..."

Xiao Li clenched it tightly until his white fingers gradually loosened, and Yu Fei's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost as inaudible as a mosquito.Apparently, he was conflicted, whether to tell Xiao Li where he was going or not.

"I can't guarantee my return, nor can I guarantee the result...Maybe this is the last memory I leave you, maybe not."

Yu Fei hesitated for a moment, and then said an address in a very low, very low breath.

On the one hand, he hoped that Xiao Li could find him, and on the other hand, he hoped that Xiao Li would not find him.But in the end, Yu Fei handed over the choice to Xiao Li again.Promote him to the position of queen who holds the power of life and death.

In the last second of the recording, there was a soft "chirp kiss".Xiao Li touched his lips involuntarily.

"Too cunning." The recording ended completely, and the recording files in the watch were automatically deleted.The system fell into dead silence, and the program collapsed.But Xiao Li recorded every word Yufei left in the watch and wanted to convey all the messages to him.Hot and humid tears flowed down his face, he threw down the discarded watch, and slowly hugged his shirtless body tightly.

He remembered the oath he made to Yufei last night, "I will never leave you..."

Yufei was heading to the capital at the moment, sitting in a cage made of strong iron bars. Number 1098 was in charge of operating the helicopter to bring him back to the capital.

Although the rabbit is now like a gutter mouse, struggling to survive, it does not dare to expose itself under the eyes of the "prophet".But she left her own "message" in the data flowing around.A lot of people who have the same idea as her have been summoned...to carry out the plan to turn off the "prophet".

It's just that most of the people are hiding in the dark, and only Rabbit does such a dangerous "work" by himself.

Yu Fei never expected that number 1098 was actually one of the rabbit team.But after thinking about it, during their conversation, No. 1098 sometimes couldn't help revealing some subtle feelings of dislike for "Xin Guo".On his wrist, the yellow watch was temporarily turned off under the rabbit's remote control, and they had half an hour to breathe and chat freely.

"Do you know what you're about to face?"

Yu Fei replied casually: "I don't know."

"Then have you watched "1984"?" No. 1098 was the first to ask, in order to answer Yu Fei's confusion.

Yufei shook his head and replied honestly: "No."

"If I'm caught and it's your internal response, then I'll be finished." No. 1098 muttered to himself: "It was said in "1984", 'Two major issues, one is how to detect when a person's brain is The second is how to wipe out hundreds of millions of people in a few seconds without warning'. However, these two major topics are not difficult for the 'prophet'."

As long as it gives an order, the data will rush into the watches of those criminals like lightning, buzzing!Then the excess current will set them off!No, most of the time, it was just electrocution and dragged into the city of "Gomorrah" for trial.Just like the warning that No. 1098 received in the city of "Nineveh" before.

"Won't they torture you to extract a confession?"

"No, generally not, unless it involves someone who has received special training...for example, like a rabbit." No. 1098 replied, and then glanced at Yufei, "because the 'prophet' knows everything about each of us .In the past two months, during the two months I wore the watch, she probably even figured out my ancestral lineage."

The browsing records of various webpages you left on the Internet, every word you said on the Internet, and every video or product you watched will become the information in the huge database of "Prophet", and then she will use your You do not understand, or even do not understand the algorithm, for you to "calculate".

Then, she will infer your hobbies, your real age and gender, your recent state, and even the "prophet" can infer your mental state through these information without a doctor's diagnosis.

People rely more and more on the "prophet", she is like the second you in the world, she will recommend things to you that suit your preferences, make decisions that are "good" for you, and then bit by bit, she will help you The control over things, your cognition of the world, your thoughts, everything about you, are all in your own hands.

"This feeling is like a beach full of naked people. The 'prophet' is the sun, looking at us." 1098 continued, "It is because of her terrible, huge, unknown to us 'algorithm ’, label us, classify us.”

Who hates sentinel wizards, who is a chauvinist, who is a feminist, etc., even if you have not made any remarks about these "labels", the "prophet" can calculate you, so that you More susceptible to "label" rhetoric. (*1 TED talk)

She will guide you and put "labels" on yourself...and the "prophet" only needs to choose objects that are beneficial to her from among these labels for "captive breeding".The rest, who could not accept her existence or management, were dragged into the city of "Nineveh" or "Gomorrah" for discipline.

Yu Fei thought of "The Matrix", an old movie from a long time ago. In his opinion, the special effects are not as exquisite as the martial arts scenes, but the lines in the movie are unforgettable for him forever.

"Your partner, job and friends will be selected by the 'prophet' for you, and your children will be taken away after birth to receive the education she prepared. You can't control everything about you, whether it's your body or your life. Will, as well as your life, our lifespan is controlled at 65 years old, no one can live past this age!"

"I feel like we are her farm animals in captivity! The meaning of life is not for myself, but for..."

For whom, No. 1098 didn't say anything, he knew very well that no matter how powerful the "Prophet" is, she is just an "artificial intelligence", without soul and consciousness, and is a puppet to manipulate. No. 1098 breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "But fortunately, everything can be redeemed!"

According to the calculation of the "Prophet", within a year, the people will rely on her and believe in her.Like a marionette, live an imagined "happy" and "crime-free" life.It's just that these lives are not real, they are constructed by her through data.Like the fictional society at the end of the twentieth century in The Matrix.

The rabbit is to save her husband, and the number 1098 is unwilling to live under the control of the "prophet" and become a person without the ability to think, so what is it for?

Yu Fei remained silent, and after leaving Xiao Li's side, he turned into an extinct volcano.The inner impulse and fiery emotion were all buried.

"You must seize that slim chance of success." No. 1098 looked at Yufei with sparkling eyes. He had already used 10 minutes of time, and there were 10 minutes left to discuss their battle plan. "Successful, you will be our savior!"

Hearing this, Yu Fei showed a sarcasm smile.
