first executive

The azure sea of ​​stars surrounds Baizhui, floating up and down, surrounded by dots of light and stars, and the cool air flow surges, Baizhui seems to be in the sea, and the voices beside his ears are covered by an invisible and intangible diaphragm, faintly Jojo, that doesn't sound right.

He stretched out his hand, touched the Xinghai, and returned to his senses. He stood in the air, as if walking on the ground, and felt an inexplicable familiarity with it. After a while, a memory appeared in his mind. Pass.

"...Sir!" A cheer sounded from behind him.

Bai Zhui turned his head, and there was a frail young man standing behind him. The young man had a pair of brown pupils, and his black hair fell on his forehead. His expressionless face looked like an immobile sculpture.

is zero.

Ling was wearing a black Chinese tunic suit with the collar turned up, and he had a more stern aura, a bit like a scholar in the Republic of China period.

"Where is this?" Bai Zhui stood on the spot without moving, just looking around.

"It's the master's sea of ​​spiritual knowledge."

"mine?"

"Yes." Zero said with certainty, he asked, "Sir, do you still remember how you came to Sanqian Management Office in the first place?"

Hearing Ling's question, Bai Chui was in a daze for a while, and it had been a while.

He replied: "Have gone through screening, learning, and testing to become a regular employee?"

He shrugged, asked himself and answered, "Yes, that's it."

"Screen out from ten thousand people, learn basic abilities, and then go through the polishing of the first world." Zero added, "This is a systematic procedure, sir, I used to be a nanny robot."

Bai Tui waited for his next words, but after waiting for a while, he asked, "So?"

"The role of the nanny robot is to take care of the owner's daily life. My last customer was the chairman of a group. My daily job is to make coffee for him and other chores..." He paused, saving a lot of words. Important information, "Later, the robot industry was booming, and the program of the first generation of robots was behind, sir... The previous husband no longer needed me, and my fate was to be sent to the waste station for reimbursement..."

But there was an accident in the middle of the reimbursement. They were not sent to the waste station, but to a research institute. Their cores were extracted, formatted, and installed in a machine with huge data, becoming A part-like existence.

"Sister Azi told me all these things," Ling said.

"Sister Azi?" Bai Zhui tilted his head.

Zero: "Sister Azi is my neighbor, but...it doesn't matter."

The important thing is--

"Sir, the space we live in is not real. Every world we experience is a virtual world created by machines, and I am a part of the machine."

After hearing what he said, Bai Chuan's expression changed: "Me too?"

"No, sir—it's the machine that works."

The machine itself developed self-awareness, the protection mechanism was triggered, and Bai Chuan was extracted separately, mixed with other screened people, and became a member of the crowd.

As for why the protection mechanism was triggered, Zero only said that he would naturally know when he recovered his memory.

Ling Sanyan and Bai Zhui explained the current situation. This sea of ​​stars is Bai Chui's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, an area that others cannot enter, but Ling can be said to belong to him. They have spent several worlds together. Mistaking Zero for a cypress, so only Zero can enter.

"001 can't connect with Mr. at the moment, but when they get out of here, they may find Mr.'s location at any time, you now..."

"Let's go." Bai Chuan followed his words naturally, "I'm ready."

Tick, tick--

A pitch-black basement with a puddle of water on the ground, spiders crawling across the corner, waste tables, chairs and stools piled aside, bottles and cans rolling on the ground, mice crawling across the table, cans that cannot be dropped rolled off the table down.

The only wooden bed in the room was not covered with anything, and a human body was lying on it. Its chest rose and fell slightly, breathing at a constant temperature, its eyes closed, and its appearance was peaceful and beautiful.

The sound of footsteps came from above, and the person on the bed seemed to be disturbed, frowned, and opened his eyes.

The azure blue eyes are like a glass bead, golden and translucent, pure and beautiful, which makes people want to collect it.

Tick, tick, tick... thump, thump, thump...

The sound of dripping water mixed with the sound of footsteps brought back Bai Chuan's mind. He blinked and raised his hand. Even in a dark place where he couldn't see his fingers, he could still clearly identify the situation in front of him.

At the moment when all the memories fell into place, he felt nothing else, as if he just let the flow take its course, and this should have been his memory.

--He is a first-generation learning robot.

This is a world of cutting-edge technological development. It is not uncommon to see robots all over the street. The person who created Baizhuo is named Yu Shang, a doctor who specializes in science and technology.

He was born on a sunny day six years ago. The robot he saw for the first time was like a piece of scratch paper that he could write at will. Except for the common sense given to him by the creator, he learned other settings by himself.

Yu Shang was only 20 years old when he created him. He was very gifted and talented. Bai Chui was the first robot he created, and his appearance was no different from that of a human being.

Yu Shang took him out and taught him various skills. Bai Chuan was once headed by him and was his most loyal subordinate. His learning ability was very strong, and he could solve most of the troubles Yu Shang encountered in life. Man once lived a happy life.

Until Yu Shang was dissatisfied with this, what he wanted to create was the unique and most powerful robot in the world, but Bai Chui did not meet his expectations.

It takes a lot of energy and financial resources to create a robot. At that time, he won a prize at the robot conference with Bai Chui. He started to transform Bai Chui, but it was still unsatisfactory.

He started to make money with Bai Chuan, boxing, game leveling, and using hacking techniques...

All the money he earned was spent on Bai Chui. Everything about Bai Chui's body was set up according to the physical sense of a real human being. Anesthesia for surgery.

Tinkering, in the transformation again and again, Bai Chui's self-awareness began to wake up, it was the early stage, not obvious, it started three years ago, and it was also at that time, Yu Shang was surprised to find that Bai Chui Another world was created in my mind.

This discovery made Yu Shang ecstatic. He connected the device to Bai Chui's brain and projected all the pictures he created. As long as Bai Chui fell into a deep sleep, he could see the development of those worlds.

And the development of those worlds, the passage of time is sixty times faster than them.

In the world, there has never been a machine that has such a situation. Yu Shang suppressed his excitement and began to study the reason that triggered this situation. He was afraid that this situation would attract many onlookers, which would lead to his heart being robbed. , and did not make this situation public.

Later, Yu Shang figured out that the reason for this situation was due to Bai Chui's strong learning ability. Every story he read and every drama he heard automatically generated a virtual world.

When Yu Shang remodeled Bai Chui again and again, he stole some valuable parts from some eliminated robots, and those parts, influenced by Bai Chui, actually awakened self-awareness along with Bai Chui , Yu Shang still doesn't know all this.

Since the development of Baizhui, he has no way to make other robots. No matter how he does it, halfway through, he still can't start again, because he feels from the bottom of his heart that Baizhui is his most successful work, and even his subconscious There is an idea that can never be surpassed in this life.

A year later, Yu Shang bought a robot, locked himself in the research institute for more than a month and reformed it, and then connected his and Bai Chui's brains to the sea of ​​consciousness. The new robot was named 001.

Using 001, he connected his own brain consciousness, and began to try to interfere in the small world of Bai Chuan. He destroyed the peace in the world, became the protagonist in the small world, bullied others, and trampled others on the soles of their feet, so as to win a huge victory. Pleasure, all the dissatisfaction and frustration in life are realized in the virtual world.

One day, Bai Zhui suddenly asked him if he had invaded his mind, and Yu Shang was startled, no matter how much a robot looks like a real person, it is just a robot.

When Bai Zhui asked that sentence, he "live".

And the reason why Bai Zhui asked that day was because Yu Shang killed someone in the small world the night before, and he became a serial murderer in the civilized world, or for no reason.

What happens in the small world, as long as it comes out, everything will be as usual, but Bai Chuan is not unaware, in his heart, people in the small world are alive, and Yu Shang's actions made him resist.

Bai Chui's self-awareness gradually awakened.

Yu Shang didn't do that kind of thing again for a few days, but he later found out that the murder incident had too much impact on him, his psychological darkness was completely excavated, and he couldn't live like an ordinary person anymore.

He once again used 001 to enter the world created by Bai Chui...

This time Bai Chui told him very seriously that this method would not work. If it was an illusion last time, this time Yu Shang was sure that Bai Chui had his own thoughts, which was wrong.

And he wants to correct this mistake.

A year later, he rebuilt Bai Chuan again, but this time it failed. He still remembered what happened before, and he still had "thoughts".

Yu Shang was afraid of him and wanted to kill him, kill this... monster--it should be like this.

When things came to an end, he found that he couldn't do without Baituo, he needed Baituo's small world to maintain his life and maintain his dignity, his mind had already become abnormal, he enjoyed the feeling of being above all people, and could not Back to normal life.

It was like being addicted to drugs, and the sin eroded his heart little by little, silently, and he hesitated.

Bo Chui had told him many times to no avail, and he began to resist Yu Shang's entry into his mind.

This resistance was no different from a "provocation" to Shang.

Yu Shang is his creator, and he is too familiar with him. He wants to destroy Bai Chui's "consciousness", as long as he quietly makes a machine.

He spied on the place where Baitui controlled those worlds, called the Three Thousand Worlds, and he wanted to extract those places separately to create a new Baitui.

But he failed.

That transformation was the last time he saw Bai Chui. Bai Chui sensed his intention to kill him and ran away. Yu Shang found him through 001, but he was a step late. 001 could find him, and Bai Chui could feel it. to the existence of 001.

Bai Chuan liked those small worlds, and he wanted to protect them. In order not to let them find him again, Bai Chuan found a place, cut off all his consciousness, disguised himself as an ordinary person, and entered the small world.

He lost his memory, then met Zero, entered the administration, and maintained the balance of the world.

Unexpectedly, after hiding so deep, he was still found by 001. 001 only needs to trap him in the small world, and his consciousness will automatically dissipate. Afterwards, as long as they find his body again, he will be back then. Will become an unconscious robot again.

What they don't know is that the parts belonging to Zero and other first-generation robots have awakened consciousness along with Bai Chuan and become managers in the three thousand worlds.

When the lights came on, the night was dim, and there were many filthy things hidden in the dark corners where the lights couldn't reach. In the middle of the night, the girl ran as hard as she could, as if she was following a terrifying monster, with the sound of heavy breathing and footsteps following, It's like a nightmare, and I can't shake it off.

Just when she was exhausted and couldn't run anymore, a desperate and helpless thought arose in her heart, a hand suddenly stretched out beside her and pulled her over.

Her pupils narrowed sharply, her mouth widened, and she wanted to scream, but the person who came seemed to feel it, covered her mouth, and pressed her cool fingertips against her cheek.

"Shh--" the warm breath sprayed on the cochlea.

The girl's body was still trembling, and her legs limply leaned against the person behind her.

Five or six people then appeared at the place where the girl appeared just now, all holding sticks, panting one after another.

"What about the dead girl?"

"Damn, run away again!"

"You go over there, you two, follow me this way."

……

People are gone.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-"

She turned her head to see who was coming, her breath caught, and she was choked by herself.

"Cough cough cough...you, you woke up!!?"
