Chief Hugo Commons had everything laid out.

I feel that he will soon arrange for me to understand.

Cold sweat permeated the training uniform, but I didn't dare to raise my head to wipe it off. With a smile on my face, I followed the guards to another area cooperatively.

"Master, don't worry," Xiao He's voice came through the invisible earphones, "When I complete my evolution and have a stronger information shielding ability, they will definitely not find any traces."

I was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "How long will it take you to complete the evolution?"

The little girl paused for a moment, and then reported a number that made me despair: "About five weeks?"

...God damn five weeks, with the efficiency of the guards, I must have been found in a few hours.

Now pretending to faint from a sudden illness, wouldn't it be a little too self-explanatory?

"Master? Master?" Xiaohe asked suspiciously. The guards had already walked towards us, asking us to hand over the smart devices in our hands and separate for inspection.

At the critical moment, I only had time to tell Xiao He: "Find a way to inform Chief Albert Huntington. There is no need to hide this matter from him. You can ask him a question for me..."

I took a deep breath and said the last sentence: "Is the experimental data lost by Chief Hugo important, or the research at hand is more important?"

As soon as the voice fell, the members of the guard came to the front, I smiled slightly, and handed over the optical brain obediently.

"Will it take a long time?" I said softly, "I'm from the biology group next door. Chief Huntington needs me to cooperate with the experiment, so we can't delay the progress of the experiment."

The guard nodded, found my identity in the system information, and verified what I said.

"Don't worry, we will complete the screening very quickly, and we can identify the target person in three hours." He said casually, but it made my heart tighten even more.

To be fair, you really don't have to work so hard!Isn't it good to fish at work?Why do you want to involve like this?

More than a dozen of us were temporarily placed under house arrest in the conference room. Chief Hugo would not treat his subordinates harshly. He also provided afternoon tea for people while waiting for interrogation.

There is one thing to say, cranberry scones paired with Earl Gray milk tea are really delicious...but now is not the time for snacks!

Everyone's expressions were very relaxed. After all, although this matter is very big, it has nothing to do with me.

Time passed by every minute and every second, I never knew that time went so slowly.

Faster, faster, it is best to jump to five weeks in the next second.

Of course, this was impossible, and after an hour, four and 10 minutes, it was finally my turn to be cross-examined.

I am quite familiar with the interrogation room. After all, I was arrested and interrogated by military inspectors for a few days before.I am better than anyone at telling lies without changing my face, but I am particularly worried about Xiaohe.

Although it is an evolutionary body of artificial intelligence, the little girl who has awakened her individual will is essentially a child, otherwise she would not be able to absorb the data of the Academy of Sciences in public.

Perhaps in hundreds of thousands of years, the small river will grow gradually, even to a height beyond the reach of human beings.But it is undeniable that she is less than one year old now, and she is protected by me so innocently.

I was answering the guards' questions, but my mind was racing through one thought after another.

"It should be fine. After the researchers from the Artificial Intelligence and Information Department have checked your optical brain, you can go back to the biology group." The guards on the opposite side smiled at me kindly.

I nodded slightly, and just about to say something, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened.

Everyone in the room looked away, and my nerves were extremely tense, but I saw that the person who came was not a researcher from the Information Department, but the burly chief with a beard, Albert Huntington.

"Chief Huntington?"

"My experiment has reached a critical moment, and I cannot do without Sanin. Well, is the cross-examination over?" He smiled gently.

"Uh, we're fine here, the Ministry of Information—"

"I just came from the Information Department. His optical brain has been checked and there is no problem," Albert said, taking out Xiaohe's body, "I'll bring it here for him by the way. The progress of the experiment waits for no one, Sanin, come here Bar."

Naturally, the guards will not embarrass a chief. When I followed Albert back to the biological group area, I saw no one around, and said, "Thank you, Chief Huntington. How did you deceive the researchers of the Information Department? brought it here?"

Albert was silent for a long time, sighed deeply, and said helplessly, "If you weren't so important to my experiment, I would definitely throw your trouble out immediately."

"Why don't you tell me together, what else are you hiding from me?"

If you want to say that, it's too much, but I definitely can't tell you, otherwise you won't let me get close to the "evil god project".

"There are so many secrets, and I'm not a big shot." I looked at the optical brain in his hand and explained in a low voice, "Xiaohe was mutated during the yesterday incident, and she seems to have awakened her self-awareness."

"Just now we visited a classmate in the mechanical group and copied a few old-fashioned mecha blueprints. She suddenly absorbed the data and energy from the laboratory... I didn't have time to stop it. This should be the instinct of artificial intelligence evolution, and she is still young."

Albert couldn't help laughing, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is she still young? You sound like an unreasonable parent."

"Look at what she did to the group next door, Hugo must be crazy."

I bent my mouth and asked back: "Then why do you still help me?"

"Because I'm not a reasonable person," Albert said without shame. "In the pursuit of truth, the experiments of other scientists are certainly important, but they are certainly not as important as mine."

... As expected.

I was right about Albert, he's a mad scientist with no conscience.

Of course, this is not a purely derogatory term.

Albert is actually a very thoughtful person. His thinking is as precise as a program, with his own values ​​and rules of conduct.

Law One: Scientific truth trumps all else.

He has no shame, no guilt, no moral constraints.The only reason why he abides by the rules more than Hugo is that violating the laws of the empire and scientific ethics will cause trouble, which will affect the progress of the experiment; the reason why he will rest, eat well, and play the harmonica is also for the future. Experiment efficiently.

Look, the pure trade-off of pros and cons ultimately points to the results of scientific research.

Law Two: The truth I seek is greater than the truth of other people.

That's right, the scientific community also has a chain of contempt. Even in the classical period of the earth, those who study physics look down on those who study chemistry, those who study chemistry look down on those who study biology, those who study traditional science look down on those who study psychology, and those who study psychology look down on those who study sociology ...

It is said that a physicist's girlfriend broke up with him. He was puzzled and asked his friend: "I can understand her empathy, but I can't understand why she chose a biological scientist?"

Alberg was one of those people who believed that his project was the most important project in the universe and that everyone else had to give in.In order to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment and to keep the precious experiment partner, I don't find it strange that he would do anything, even if he betrayed the empire.

Of course I'm just thinking about it, I don't want to challenge the loyalty of interstellar scientists to the empire.

"Okay," Albert said in a deep voice, playing with the optical brain in his hand, "It's not free for me to help you."

I stopped and looked sideways at him.

If Albert's request is too much, I will consider killing him directly.

"It's a very simple request. You don't have to be hostile. We have cooperated for so long."

"We've only been working together for two weeks, and most of the time, I'm the subject of experiments."

"I just want to tell you this," Albert said casually. "The experiment cannot be stopped. You only come to practice for two weeks, which is far from enough."

I was silent for a moment, then shook my head and said, "No, I can't drop out of school to cooperate with you in the experiment, do you want me to give up all my future?"

Albert nodded: "Of course not, I understand your concerns. Therefore, I will prepare everything for you, and I hope you will not refuse to come."

"It's not just the military that has a future."

"What's more, compared to the military that doesn't value you, the Supreme Academy of Sciences, or I can give you more."

"I hope you can think about it carefully. Oh, yes, I will keep this artificial intelligence first. She still needs a while to evolve, and I can provide her with more energy."

...Hey, Albert has learned how to keep hostages, ah, no, machine quality!

But this is their territory, and I have no room for refusal.

In the data and energy theft incident that made a lot of noise, the culprit was not found in the end.And our practical course is also coming to an end, the two weeks passed very quickly, we did learn a lot, and also added a lot of color to our resume.

Two weeks later, we returned to Satin Lac, our long-lost home.

Like a cat, Skye jumped on his bed sheet, hugged the pillow affectionately and dawdled, and said with emotion: "Although I don't recognize the bed, it's still a good school! At the base of the Academy of Sciences, I don't even eat and sleep sweetly." gone."

Clive rolled his eyes, listen to his nonsense, Skyelu can eat and sleep, if not for the hard training with the guards, he would have gained three catties by now.

The one who has changed the most is Leon, this shy and timid boy who seems to have grown up overnight.How should I put it, there is a new light in my eyes, just like life has found its true purpose and belief.

"He really doesn't consider joining the Supreme Academy of Sciences?" Skye asked in a low voice.

"How can it be so easy? The selection of the Academy of Sciences is very strict. However, those senior researchers promised him to help him write letters of recommendation, and made friends with him, and will continue to guide him in transforming mechs."

Clive continued: "Even if you stay in the military, there is no problem. There is also a mech modification department in the military. It is not as professional as the Academy of Sciences. It designs new series from scratch, but it will make adjustments for comrades on the spot according to the battlefield situation. Mecha."

It was a good thing, and Skyelu sprang to his feet, determined to celebrate, which was really just an excuse to eat and drink.

On the last day before the end of the holiday, I fell into a deep sleep amidst the noise and contentment.

In the dreamland is an unfathomable dark mist, my soul seems to be sinking, sinking, sinking...

Until the monster in front of him floated up from the deep sea, revealing his true colors.

She is composed of countless twisted black silk threads, like a black witch who was burned alive and screaming strangely, and like a dead soul that will pull you into hell, she stretched out a finger to you, and her red heart was like a wireworm beating in his chest.

Garuda.

Or, should I call him, the dark side of the universe?

The dark side of the universe actually directly reveals itself in the dream, what does he want to do?What did he find?

I gasped violently in the dream, and trembled because of the strong sense of oppression, which was not from fear, but from the instinct of the soul and body.

In front of such a huge and strange energy body, the individual is too small.It's like a gust of wind blowing across the earth, rolling up countless dust, making the ashes tremble and fear in the face of the strong wind, but in the final analysis, it is only because of the huge gap between the energy bodies.

Garuda is already restraining his breath, still suppressing me to death.

When he spoke, it was like a heavy metal mixed with tens of thousands of different sounds, piercing and piercing, but exceptionally clear.

"What happened on board yesterday?"

"What are you working with?"

"Have you betrayed me?"
