doomsday seclusion

After returning to the bookstore, I felt a sense of exhaustion.

To be honest, if it weren't for the convenience of the exchange ability, it would be hard to say whether he could leave so safely.

The truth about Lin Qinghe and the existence of 01 were beyond my expectation. I brought 01 back out of a moment of compassion. Compare your heart with your heart.What's more, 01's treatment is much worse than what I used to be. With such a skinny appearance, I don't know how long I haven't eaten properly.

For the sake of his stomach, I bought a small bowl of liquid food, and 01 sat obediently by the bed, drinking the porridge in small sips.

"Slow down, it's hot."

01 nodded, and quickly drank the porridge. When I took the empty bowl, his eyes were still a little eager.

I relented for a moment and gave him another bowl.

Holding the bowl, he didn't rush to drink, but stared straight at me: "Su Ling, is this your superpower?"

"It should be said to be a supernatural ability. I am a space ability user." I said, "What about you?"

"They say it's mind reading."

Read minds!

My heart shrank suddenly, he could see through the other person's thoughts at a glance, so the secret I was hiding...

"I didn't read your mind." He seemed to know what I was thinking, and quickly continued: "They said that it's rude to use abilities without permission."

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "They" should refer to the people in the research institute, and they deliberately "teach" in this way, certainly not out of good intentions, but because they don't want to expose their dark thoughts to the fullest.

Although I don't like being prying into my privacy, I don't want him to be deceived, blindly trust him, and easily fall into the way of others in the future.

"Don't listen to those people," I said. "You have the right to use your own abilities freely."

"But you don't like it, do you?" he asked affirmatively.

"I admit this, but when others threaten your life and safety, do you have to worry about other people's feelings?" I asked, "Respecting other people's privacy is very important, but you also need to distinguish what kind of person they are. If the other party has evil intentions, wouldn’t he be putting himself in danger instead?”

"Like my predecessor?"

"I don't know what kind of person he is, but if he's careful enough, he won't be where he is today." Saying that, I'm already digging a hole for myself. I obviously have a big secret to keep, But they are persuading him to use his mind-reading ability, which is like dying!

He seemed to understand something, "You mean, mind reading should be used to prevent the other party's malice and prevent yourself from being victimized. It is a means of protecting yourself?"

I nodded, this understanding is not wrong.

"I see." He suddenly smiled, "Everyone except Su Ling, be on guard."

I froze for a moment.

"Are you not afraid that I will hurt you?"

"If Su Ling wanted to harm me, he wouldn't have saved me. You have taught me so much."

I couldn't say anything else for a while, I could only say: "Drink the porridge quickly, don't let it get cold."

"Yeah." He raised the corners of his lips in a humane way, and drank again in small sips.

I watched him drink the porridge, and my thoughts couldn't help but wander to other places.

"Mind-reading" is indeed omnipotent in a prosperous civilized society, so it's no wonder that Lin Qing and that old guy tried their best to get it.Just imagine that no matter when you are communicating or trading, the other party’s mind is fully exposed in front of you, and you have won the victory invisibly, the benefits can be obtained at the lowest cost, and the threats can be killed in the cradle.

But after the end of the world, compared with all kinds of abilities, this ability pales in comparison. "Mind reading" may be useful in interpersonal communication, but it will not play a big role in transactions.In the chaotic world, even if you can read the other party's thoughts, it is not as powerful as having huge resources or powerful abilities. If Lin Qinghe is not obsessed with attacking abilities, the auxiliary abilities of the space system may be more powerful. It suits him better.

Besides, the existing superpowers before the end of the world are not equal to the supernatural powers awakened after the end of the world, and there may not be room for upgrading. Lin Qinghe tried his best to have a good body. When there is a better choice, he will naturally not cling to the old Some experimental subjects.

01 The eating speed was faster this time, and the porcelain bowl bottomed out in a short time.After the meal, he wiped his lips, looked at my idle books on the bed, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can I go downstairs to read?"

"Of course, just don't leave this room." He is not a prisoner, and I am not a jailer, so naturally I have some freedom.

"Can you come with me?" he asked again.

"I have some things I want to study, and I'm going to rest later." I refused, but felt that this was a little unreasonable, so I added: "Those zombies can't get in, if you are afraid, you can take the book Move it up to see."

"I'm not afraid of zombies." He said seriously, "You are my master, and I want to protect you."

"From the current point of view, it seems that I am the one who takes care of you." I felt a little funny: "I appreciate your intentions. I will not be your master, but I can be your friend."

"Why?" he asked.

"Because you are an independent individual, you don't need to be the master of anyone." I said, "Although in fact, your previous personality is the real master of this body, but now that you have become like this, you are more You should live a good life for him."

"Even if I'm just a test AI?"

"Yes."

"Then if one day Mr. Lin asks me to..."

"A solemn refusal!" I said bluntly. "Remember, no one should force others to do things they don't like for their own selfish desires. You have every right to decide your own future."

"Really?" He suddenly laughed, "Then, even if you don't want to be my master, I still want to protect you. This is out of my own will."

"you……"

Such a sincere and enthusiastic declaration seems to be able to penetrate directly into the softest part of my heart, which makes me stuck.

"I'm going downstairs to read a book." He didn't care about my astonishment, got up and walked to the stairs, but disappeared in the stairwell after a few steps.

I was left alone with an empty bowl, still unable to react.

***

The documents in the safe are related to human experiments.

I half-lyed on the bed, looking at the few sheets of paper in my hand repeatedly, almost burning a hole through them with my sight.

Each piece of paper has a number, but the numbers are not consistent, and what is missing are extremely important data conclusions, so the dean is very picky.

Most of the remaining materials are hypothetical narratives. Fortunately, there are also literature citations from previous studies. Although there are not many, at least they will not become waste paper.

According to the data, the research results are amazingly perfect, and the original personality of the body is very tenacious. Therefore, the researchers originally thought that they would encounter strong resistance or incomplete cleaning during the process of memory cleaning, but the result was Quite unexpectedly, apart from the violent fluctuations in the brainwaves at the beginning, after the brain was invaded by the instrument, it even accepted the cleaning process with no hands, allowing the AI ​​to take over the body smoothly.

The researchers also thought it was fraudulent at the beginning, so they arranged a series of precise inspections. After that, the data was seriously missing. I could only jump to the most recent one and continue to look at it.
