Get teased by AI in escape game [Unlimited]

"—Then, next, I'll leave it to you."

The young man with long hair and narrow eyes sat directly opposite, nodded to him, and smiled politely and gently.

Then, stand up and walk away slowly.

Xu Yang was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes fell on the familiar and non-hostile back hesitantly.

I can't believe that the man in front of me will be Lin Xu who will always point a gun at him three years later.

He lowered his head and found that he was still wearing the black shirt he was most used to, with the top button undone, exposing a bit of his neck for ventilation.

Further down, there is a blue identity ring on his right wrist.

The thin, flat, soft strap fits snugly on the surface of the skin, allowing his wrist to be flexible, and the existence of the ring is hardly felt.

He was sitting in a pure white square cubicle. The small round table and the soft and comfortable small round stool were all pure white. They looked spotless, but gave off an inexplicably depressing feeling.

A piece of white.

Only the electronic clock on the wall displayed fluorescent blue numbers.

【2xxx年，3月12日，10:20am。】

--three years ago.

Xu Yang wanted to stand up and explore the surrounding environment, but found that he could not control his body.

After Lin Xu left, the black-haired young man sat there for a while, as if he was thinking carefully.

After a long time, he stood up and walked out the door.

——Xu Yang heard his thoughts clearly.

(To organize the huge and mechanical data flow into a path network of changes in brain trigger regions when human beings empathize, and let it learn to choose one of them to respond at the right time...)

(That's not really my forte.)

(...In the end, will it turn into a monster?)

Xu Yang left the white cubicle and slowly walked into the bright corridor. In front of a smart door at the end of the corridor, he raised the bracelet on his right hand.

At eye level on the door, a small blue panel lit up.

【Researcher Xu Yang】

[job number: 322037]

【Permission: X+】

【——The identity has been confirmed. 】

The door slid open slowly, and Xu Yang walked in, feeling the elevator descending rapidly.

A moment later, another door opened behind him.He turned around and stepped out.

Outside the door is no longer the sleepy white corridor, but an old room full of life.

The walls are unevenly yellowed, the floor is covered with old-fashioned tiles, the window frames are painted green, retro and dull old-fashioned sofas, TVs, radios, and well-made old wooden coffee tables and wooden cabinets are casually placed. tidy.

In some places, dust of different shades was carefully sifted through a sieve.

Xu Yang raised his head and saw the four corners of the room, where there were high-definition cameras from different angles.

This should be a room that has been carefully arranged so that "it" can be seen at any time.

(It's quite... well thought out.) Xu Yang thought.

On the wooden coffee table, there is a connector.

Xu Yang sat down on the sofa and immediately put the adapter on his forehead.

He closed his eyes and quickly entered the state.

From a black screen in front of my eyes, a burst of colored light spots of unknown meaning flashed, and then a dynamic loading bar of a percentage jumped up.

After the loading bar came to the end, he sat in the same room as the one before.

Xu Yang: "..."

"You came."

Unexpectedly, the first thing he heard was Lin Xu's voice.

Lin Xu seemed to be talking to him outside, and did not enter this space.

"Hmm." He responded briefly.

"'Nuclear' is here, but we have been unable to call it out. It seems that there is no concept of 'response' in its behavior pattern... We must try to consolidate this pattern when it responds for the first time... " Lin Xu exhorted, his voice sounded a bit annoyed.

"Well, I see." Xu Yang said.

He didn't speak any more, just quietly waiting for something.

Lin Xu seemed to react: "Then I'll go out first."

Xu Yang nodded.

The moment Lin Xu exited the program, Xu Yang clearly felt a gaze quietly fixed on him.

It was as if someone was watching him from the dark.

He wasn't sure if that look was kind or malicious, whether it contained fear or contempt.

But he would rather think of a better place for now.

Xu Yang remembered that when the pet cat came to the new home for the first time, it would curl up in a corner out of fear.What the owner has to do at this time is to put away the food without disturbing it, and let it observe in the dark until it feels "safe" and "hungry", and then come out to eat by itself.

In this way, humans and cats can achieve the first real communication.

Xu Yang didn't know if this would work for "nuclear".

After all, it doesn't feel hungry.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang let out a sigh of relief.

Maybe he should do something now to pass the time and prove to the other party that he is harmless and trustworthy...

Xu Yang stood up, paced slowly in the room, and pulled out a thick green book from the wooden cabinet in the corner.

His slender fingers landed on the leather cover printed with delicate lines, and he was about to open it, but found that the pages of the book were closed. Although the touch was exactly the same as that of paper, they were firmly stuck together, making it impossible to open it.

Xu Yang: "..."

This is also a prop.

The eyes were still looking at him quietly.

I don't know where it came from.

A strange sense of irritability rose in Xu Yang's heart.

He threw the book aside, looked around, and walked to the only window in the room, wanting to open it for some air.

What will be outside?An exquisite courtyard full of artificial flowers...or a small town with many tube buildings...

Thinking curiously, he put his hands on the green-painted window frame, and with a light push, the window was completely pushed open.

"!"

A dark and deep void crashed into his eyes.

It can't be said to be a void. In the air, there are very thin threads of data flow, like soft and sparse cotton, twisted, scattered, and scattered everywhere.

It is very faint visually, but it exists densely, covering the entire space.

If there was a direction for that gaze that looked at him quietly, Xu Yang felt that it should have come from these silk threads scattered in all directions.

"You come……"

"...It's..."

...?

Xu Yang stood in front of the window and blinked.

What did he hear?

----

At the same time, the outside world—

"Ah! It worked!"

"Success! We succeeded!"

In the silent and pure white corridor, many figures in white uniforms suddenly ran out.

They ran staggered, high-fiving everyone they passed, their faces flushed with excitement and joy.

At this moment, everyone is cheering——

"It worked! 'Nuclear' responded to us! We made it!"

----

Xu Yang tilted his head in doubt.

Doesn't it mean that the concept of "response" does not exist in the behavior pattern of "nuclear"?

If we say that the huge program written by people spontaneously forms a black box, which can find the appropriate way from the sentence library according to the set pattern, and respond to various sentences entered by people—this is an ordinary artificial intelligence system. intelligent.

So now, the "nuclear" consciousness they detected from the black box is not so much artificial intelligence, but rather like a mysterious existence overlooking all data and above all mechanical responses.

Logically speaking, it is not only impossible to respond to humans, but also impossible to really communicate with people.

At first, Xu Yang only imagined that some of the perception and selection functions of the "nucleus" would be involved, so that all AIs could respond to human patterns, making it more realistic and emotional.

Now, the development of things is somewhat beyond his expectation.

Xu Yang paused, not knowing how to answer for a while, and simply introduced himself consistently for thousands of years:

"Hi, first time meeting, my name is Xu Yang."

The voice fell silent again.

This time, he really didn't wait for the other party's self-introduction.

Xu Yang looked at the dark night sky and tilted his head in thought.

After a while, with a thought, I called up a blue control panel and operated on it to delete the model of the small room I was in.

——Perhaps in this way, it is more convenient for communication between the two parties.

Thinking of this, Xu Yang closed his eyes and opened them again.

The entire small room where he was standing disappeared bit by bit, the deliberately old furniture disappeared, and the building walls and warm lighting were completely removed.

At this moment, Xu Yangxuan stood in the middle of the dark night sky, his feet were empty, but he did not fall down.

Without the limitation of the light source, he got used to the original light here, so seeing the thin lines running in the deep space became even more dazzling.

He looked up at the blue stream of data in front of him that became colorful and magnificent, like a Milky Way, and half-closed his eyes appreciatively.

"So, are you 'you' or 'you'?"

This time, he still didn't wait for the other party's answer.
