Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

Karl was very sure that the "maker" in Alexander's mouth was what he understood.

Almost before he really realized what had happened, his vision penetrated the butler's clothes and skin, and penetrated deep into the other's body, and then he noticed what he had done, and looked away in a panic , stammeringly trying to explain: "Yes, I'm sorry, Alexander, I'm not, I didn't do this on purpose..."

"It doesn't matter, master, although the time is very short, I believe you have seen my body structure." The butler said calmly, "I am not a human being, nor do I have the shame of a human being. In fact, I am all yours." thing, you don't need to be sorry about it. You don't need to be sorry about anything."

Carl nodded, but didn't speak.

The X-ray time was very short, but it was enough for him to see clearly what was under Alexander's skin, not muscles, blood vessels, and bones, but countless structures similar to muscles, blood vessels, and bones.

It is difficult to judge its material composition, but the mechanical quality is beyond doubt.

Linked to the "manufacturing" and "property" mentioned by Alexander, Karl roughly guessed what the housekeeper was.

"Alexander, are you...artificial intelligence?" He asked a little nervously.

The butler nodded slightly, as an answer to the question, and then he turned to invite Carl, "Come in, master, I don't think this is a good place to talk."

Carl entered the door in a state of confusion under the guidance of Alexander, sat on the sofa, and was soon stuffed with a glass of soda in his hand, and dark chocolate was quickly placed on the table.

Alexander who had done all this was still calm and composed, even if a meteorite fell from the sky and hit him in front of him, he would not show any emotional fluctuations.

"I think you have a lot to say to me," Carl stared at Alexander, "I'm ready."

"No, you are not ready." The butler spoke at this time, he stood opposite Carl, because he would never sit down when Carl was present, "compared to the truth, you are too young and too weak You're not ready to face it."

Karl raised his voice, the sudden power and change itself made him very uneasy, and now Alexander's refusal made him a little emotionally broken: "Don't think of me as a child! I'm not—"

The sound of shattering glass and cracking wood woke Carl up.

He could barely keep his mouth shut, realizing that he was only 13 years old, and judging from his age and experience, he was undoubtedly a child, even if he didn't want to admit it anymore.

He lowered his head and saw that the glass in his hand had been shattered into slag, the unfinished soda was scattered all over the floor, and the sofa under him was cracked under his force, and he didn't know how it cracked , he just sat on it and tensed his body uncontrollably when he was angry.

"Yes, yes, Alexander, it is true that I am a child, that I am very young—but the other fact is that I am not weak."

Carl softened his tone and tried to convince Alexander the way he tried to do every time Alexander "suggested" him not to do something.

In order to convince Alexander, the reasons must be perfect, at least to a certain extent.Carl used his brain quickly, thinking about whether there were any mistakes or omissions in this sentence, but it only took him less than a second, or even less time, to find the problem in this sentence.

"Having power but not being able to control yourself is also a kind of weakness." Carl murmured before Alexander, he sighed, knowing that he would not be able to convince the housekeeper.

Worst of all, the butler talked him out of it.

He could easily imagine that if what had happened to him meant a terrible truth, a truth that was beyond his present ability to bear, that his uncontrollable power would bring pain and suffering to the world. disaster.

"Getting out of control is a very dangerous thing, master." Alexander said at the right time, he maintained a perfect smile, kind, tolerant, but unshakable, "But after you have been taught and reached the standard, I promise, You'll know everything you ever wanted to know."

Carl smiled dejectedly.

He felt slightly nervous and restless, and a sense of foreboding hovered in his heart, because it was difficult for him not to imagine how important, or how bad, the thing the butler was trying to keep from him was.

Probably the butler also felt that he couldn't not reveal anything, just let his young and weak master think wildly, intermittently, he still revealed some things.

"Please rest assured that this is not a very serious matter. It's just that you are still too young and have seen too little, not to mention that it is useless for you to know about these things in your childhood." The housekeeper said slowly.

"As for your abilities, although they have just appeared today, they have grown up with you since you were born. For safety, your room, your bed, your pillows and towels, everything you use They are specially made products, they can effectively restrain your ability, and it will not be revealed until your mind matures and your strength increases to the point where you cannot suppress it.”

"...What do you use to suppress my ability?" Carl couldn't help being attracted by this topic.

"Kryptonite emitter, with a strength of 9%, can effectively suppress your ability, but it will not cause any damage. After you become an adult, as your strength grows, the strength can be adjusted to 18% or even higher."

They talked late into the night.

The things they talked about were actually very small things, but Karl, who was in a state of excitement, anxiety and tension, needed such long conversations to maintain emotional stability after he could not vent his strength.

Alexander has no objection to this. No matter whether Karl needs it or not, he is ready at any time and is willing to meet all the requirements of the master, as long as the request does not harm the master himself. For Karl now, staying up late is no longer a problem that affects physical development. something happened.

When the sun rose the next day, and the light comforted Karl, he realized that he was overexcited.

He stopped embarrassedly, and the butler said, "Do you still need to eat? Given what we have said, you can definitely absorb energy from the sun."

"Of course!" exclaimed Carl. "I love your cooking, Alexander. I'm not going to replace it with solar energy!"

From this day on, a new course begins.

The lecturers and coaches of all courses are butlers. Carl has no objection, but he also has some regrets. He likes the teachers who taught him before. Each of them is knowledgeable and funny, and they never treat him because he is young. Perfunctory.

Especially the literature teacher, Karl doesn't even know the teacher's real name, because his literature teacher said that "names are labels, and labels are meaningless", and he will choose a name from famous books every day according to his mood to name himself.

He didn't even know the gender of the teacher. Sometimes he wore men's clothes, and sometimes she wore women's clothes. Whether it was men's clothes or women's clothes, the teacher's behavior was very appropriate.

It must be admitted that this teacher who taught him for a short time left a deep impression on him. In Karl's young life, this teacher's thinking was abnormal, absurd, and indescribable, but he was able to learn from it. Emotionally understood.

Perhaps seeing Carl's depression, the butler handed him a piece of letter paper: "Your teacher left you a gift before he left. I think this is what you want to see the most."

Carl blinked, took the letter, and entered the familiar cursive characters.

"Who will finally shake the world

keep silent for a long time

who will ignite the lightning

will be forever like a cloud

William"

Carl's eyes sparkled with joy, literally sparkling, red.

He couldn't wait to ask the housekeeper, "His name is William? I'll just call him William."

The butler had reservations, "Sometimes he calls himself William." He gently reminded Carl by the way, "Please keep calm, I think your eyes are against your original intention, and are brewing high-temperature rays."

Carl realized the heat in his eyes. He closed his eyes and opened them again. He smiled shyly at the housekeeper, "Sorry, Alexander."

The course has officially started.

The butler told Karl a lot, and all theories and knowledge were developed step by step, but the speed of his gradual progress was always accelerating, and some of them went deep into places that Karl hadn't thought of at all.

He told Cal more about the knowledge from Krypton than Earth, and didn't tell Cal.

For example, when talking about himself, the housekeeper described himself as a "creature", a species after the development of artificial intelligence to the extreme, and a life form completely different from humans.

"If you are a creature, then you have a mind, and you belong to yourself, not mine," Karl said to Alexander.

At first, he really thought that Alexander was just an ordinary artificial intelligence. He knew a little about artificial intelligence and knew that ordinary artificial intelligence is the sum of programs, and all reactions are the responses of the programs, without thinking or emotion, no matter how they behave Being intelligent is only due to the setting of the program. The current programming method is completely unable to give artificial intelligence thoughts, so they are all just tools.

And the artificial intelligence "creature" is alive.

The technology they are involved in is completely disruptive to current technology, and most importantly, they have their own minds.

No thinking intelligent being should be enslaved.

But the housekeeper gave a different explanation: "My mind is completely free, master, I choose to be your property."

Carl wants to retort, you shouldn't think so... Forget it, why rebuttal?

William had taught him countless times to respect other people's differences, as well as his own, even if the differences were difficult to understand.

Carl thought it made sense.
