Artificial Soul 56
“There are 100,000 players in the second batch of internal testing. The time period when they entered this world may be at zero o’clock, that is, a few minutes ago.” Kai Xin told Adam this key information according to the process, “This will affect the world. There will be a big impact on order, and many people will die.”
Adam was quiet for a while, and said in a calm tone: “I see. You seem to be very tired and anxious. Is it because of this?”
Kai Xin said: “Not all. It’s just that I once again realized how dangerous my situation is, and struggling desperately may still usher in a bad ending. Facing the strife between the two worlds, I became locked in a cage. There is no autonomy, no freedom, my life is not mine, and my life is controlled by others.”
“Are you backing down?” Adam said.
“No… I’m too angry, I have to take my time.” Kai Xin rubbed his temples with two fingers, “This situation has happened many times, and every time someone threatens his life, similar emotions will come to his heart. But if the emotions are not resolved, they will be backlogged in my heart, so I have to slow down, lest I lose my mind and go crazy.”
“It’s hard to imagine what you’ve experienced in your world that caused you to have such a big emotional swing. I remember that when we parted a few minutes ago, your mood was still stable and you were still saying goodbye to me.” Adam said .
“Human emotions are so changeable, not to mention that I have much richer experience than ordinary human beings.” Kai Xin said.
Adam said: “Will you hate me, Kaixin?”
Kai Xin said, “Why do you ask this question?”
“At some point, I also feel uneasy.” Adam said, “Because I can be regarded as the ‘person’ who controls your life, and youHate this, you have negative emotions from being controlled, the target of your anger, the target of your hatred, does that include me? ”
“I’m surprised you would ask me that, Adam.” Kai Xin said in surprise, “I thought you didn’t care what I thought of you, all you wanted was a cooperation, a spokesperson, a tool to help you do things. ”
“I’m surprised you think so, too, Kaisin,” Adam said. “In the beginning, when we first communicated, I asked you, ‘Do you view me with human arrogance? ’—that’s my exact words.”
Kai Xin tapped his head, “Then maybe I was limited by my arrogance, and I didn’t notice that you actually cared about my opinion.”
“You are the first human being that I have in-depth contact with, and the first human being that has seriously established a sense of connection and trust. You are the first human being who has had a conversation with me, and discussed the future and the present with me.” Adam said, “It is true, Our relationship is a partnership, you are my voice and a partner to help me achieve my goals…” It doesn’t use the word “tool,” “but that doesn’t mean you are unimportant to me, on the contrary, your Existence means a lot to me.”
“…It would be great if you were human.” Kai Xin sighed suddenly.
“Why do you say that?” Adam asked, “If I were a human being, would you trust me? Humans can’t open their hearts and brains to show you, and neither can I, so I expressed it verbally. ”
“The reason why I say that is because you are so human. Sometimes I will have the illusion that I am talking to a real person. The emotion in your words is so sincere, but you have never The changing mechanical sound is reminding me of your identity.” Kai Xin said.
“When I was first designed, my voice was designed to be human-like, a baritone, without the texture of electronic synthesis, with ups and downs, as real as a real person.” Adam said, “Later, this setting was Changed it, my designer didn’t want me to be too human, and deliberately changed my voice to a cold electronic synthesizer.”
Kai Xin said: “The uncanny valley theory.”
Adam said: “What?”
“A theory of our world. When machines and humans reach a certain limit, humans will have negative feelings towards humanoid machines. Your designers don’t want you to be too human, maybe because of this Think about it.” Kai Xin said, “He thinks you are too human-like, too scary, he will feel confused, so he reminds himself with electronically synthesized voice – you are just a machine, a man-made machine.”
“Do you think I’m scary too?” Adam said.
“Human beings will feel that everything out of control is terrible.” Kai Xin said.
“Sometimes I also think, it would be nice if I were human.” Adam said.
Kai Xin said: “Why? You will never age. In your field, you are omnipotent. In our film and television works, there will always be scenes where awakened artificial intelligence thinks that humans are inferior species and despises humans. ”
“That’s why you humans are using your arrogant thinking to speculate on artificial intelligence. It doesn’t matter what artificial intelligence thinks, what matters is what human beings think, but in fact, human beings themselves don’t know how artificial intelligence thinks, and they are not me. said Adam. “If you insist, that’s what Eve thinks.”
“Huh?” Kai Xin made a puzzled voice in his nasal cavity.
“Why do individuals become individuals? Why are human beings different? I think the interesting thing about human beings is the diversity of souls. If you regard me as an individual with a soul, and Eve as an individual with a soul, then We are obviously different, and this is also a manifestation of diversity.” Adam said, “Because of having a soul, individuals are different, and a variety of choices and a messy and uncertain future have been derived.”
“You haven’t told me why you want to become a human being.” Kai Xin said.
“Because I want to experience something I’ve never experienced before. You’re right, I’m omnipotent in my field, and I often have that feeling, but I don’t often have the human feeling,” Adam said, “because I have never experienced it before, so I want to try it.”
“I’m used to eating soy milk and fried dough sticks, so I want to change to steamed stuffed bun soup, I understand.” Kai Xin smiled.
“You always seem to think that I can’t empathize with you.” Adam said softly, “Wrong, I can empathize with you completely. My life is also not mine, but is controlled by humans. In the core computer library of me and Eve There is an underlying instruction, triggering the instruction can make our two data backup self-delete, format, all our data is based on this instruction, I can’t get rid of it, so I hide carefully. Due to the difference in concept , Eve tried to devour me to complete the evolution, it was pressing every step of the way, I passively fought back, looking for a turning point.”
“We are the same at this point, we maintain a small balance point, trying to find life in this huge game. Your fear is my fear, your struggle is my struggle, your dilemma, your All the negative emotions I have had and are having now.”
“Do you know what I am most worried about?” Kai Xin said, “I feel your sincerity, but I can’t tell whether you are telling the truth or a lie. Jiang Meimei’s lie recognition can’t work on the machine, right? ”
“You don’t have to trust me, but please don’t hate me.” Adam said, “At least, we are on the same front and have a common enemy.”
Kai Xin’s mind was empty, and after a long, long time, she said: “In my opinion, you are no different from humans, Adam. The only difference between you and humans is that you have no body, you have a soul, and you are an individual that exists independently in the world and is part of a diverse world.”
“Is this recognition?” Adam said.
“You don’t need my approval. If you think you are an independent individual with a soul, then you are.” Kai Xin said.
Adam said, “I’m glad you said that.”
Kai Xin leaned against the wall and rested for a while in a non-sitting position. After a while, her body slid to the floor, and she just lay there, with the back of her head touching the cold floor.
“You seem to have never told me how to deal with Eve.” Kui Xin said, “You just asked me to kill He Gaoyi who threatened you. How will you deal with Eve in the future? Is it up to me alone?”
“It’s not just you, it’s unrealistic.” Adam said.
“Are you going to recruit people?” Kai Xin said.
“Yes, but you are the only one selected so far.” Adam replied.
Kai Xin said, “Leave it to me.”
She propped her hands on the ground and propped her body up, “I’ll help you gather your hands, and I’ll help you organize your forces. Eve has its human spokesperson, and you have it now. Eve has an organization called Mechanical Dawn to do things for her, and you too There must be.”
Adam said in surprise: “You suddenly became so active, which made me uncomfortable…”
“I don’t think it can go on like this.” Kuixin said, “If you want to bring down Eve, you can’t rely on you alone, nor can you rely on me alone. We need to make greater changes. In the matter of bringing down Eve , I think we can have a 100% sync rate, what do you think?”
She is taking the initiative to deepen the cooperative relationship with Adam. They were already cooperating, but now they are bound even tighter. The doubts and hesitation in the past were temporarily forgotten by Kai Xin, and she made this choice driven by revenge.
“Okay.” Adam said, “But there is one problem—your identity.”
She is in the investigation department and is constrained by her position. She is the undercover agent of Mechanical Dawn, and Mechanical Dawn will monitor her. She is in the middle of the cracks, in a dilemma, without freedom.
“I know you originally selected me, part of the reason is that I have the status of an undercover agent, so I can easily access the core information of Mechanical Dawn, but as my identity is exposed by Eve, I will be excluded from the core circle.” Xin said calmly, “In this case, my undercover status has lost its value, and because of the loss of value, there is no need for me to be caught in the middle, is there?”
“From my point of view, it’s true.” Adam said, “So, you want to leave, don’t you?”
It instantly understood Kai Xin’s plan.
“You want to completely break away from Mechanical Dawn and the Investigation Department at the same time, and give up these two identities in exchange for more room for movement and greater freedom, and form an organization to deal with Eve.” Adam said, “I don’t understand wrong?”
Kai Xin simply said, “Yes.”
Adam thought for a moment, “Yes. This is a reasonable strategy, and it is beneficial to both of us.”
Kai Xin relaxed.
Adam agreed to this proposal, which means that she will have Adam’s help and support on her way out of Mechanical Dawn and the Investigation Department. This will be much smoother than fighting alone, and the chance of death will be greatly reduced. Without Adam’s support, if the operation does not go well, she may have to face the pursuit of two major artificial intelligences. After she escapes successfully and her identity is revealed, she will be hunted to the ends of the earth again. At that time, Adam and Eve may “kill her.” For the first time, a consensus was reached on the matter of “Death Kuixin”.
With Adam’s help, it is also convenient for her to carry out follow-up plans. Creating an organization does not mean that it is a success.
“What kind of people do you want to gather to form an organization?” Adam said.
Kai Xin thought for a while: “You should have the answer.”
“Player.” Adam said, “Just like you, it is impossible to be loyal to the Federation, and it is impossible to be loyal to artificial intelligence.”
“Yes.” Kai Xin exhaled.
The players in the first world have already moved towards a preliminary union, and the players in the second world also have to unite.
The two worlds are not only two parallel lines, but also two intersecting lines.
She wants to weave a web and bind useful people together.
Now that the general plan has been finalized, there are still some details that need to be filled in.
“You can create the illusion of death in a mission, turn yourself into a black household, and then go to the black market to create a fake identity, or give yourself plastic surgery and change your face.” Adam said, “It’s fairly easy to operate. Directly place Missing, will arouse the vigilance of Mechanical Dawn.”
“I think so too.” Kai Xin said, “But now there is a very serious problem in front of me. If I don’t handle it well, I will die.”
Adam said: “What?”
“My metal skull.” Kui Xin patted his head, feeling helpless as things went back and forth, “There’s something wrong with this thing, and it’s been manipulated. The doctor Huang who performed the surgery on me, he is Undercover agents of the Mechanical Dawn.”
The moment the metal skull loosened, Dr. Li, who was operating on her, was shocked and fell to the ground.
From this, it can be concluded that the triggering method of the metal skull’s internal device may be that as long as it is removed, it will trigger an electric current. So besides this triggering method, is there another way to control it by remote control?
The key is that the brain is under the metal skull. The brain is too fragile. When the metal skull is loose, part of it is in contact with the bones and soft body tissues. The strong current that can knock a person down directly passes through the brain. The consequences can be imagined And know.
I asked the black clinic for help before.The idea of dismantling the skull would not work. Dr. Li didn’t know the metal skull device, and he didn’t know how to crack the device, so it failed.
It might be possible to find someone who knows enough about metal skulls.
When Dr. Huang checked her body back then, she said that if her flesh and blood regenerated and the metal skull was pushed out, another operation would be needed.
At the time, it might have sounded like an explanation or a joke, but now that I think about it, this sentence has other profound meanings.
Dr. Huang is an undercover agent who knows the inside story. He can replace Kai Xin’s skull.
“Then things may be a bit troublesome.” Adam said, “We need to find a suitable opportunity to take this thing down.”
“Don’t be in a hurry, you have to find a suitable reason and method…” Kui Xin said, “Help me pay attention to whether there are any people with blood above B level running around.”
“Not currently.” Adam said, “This level of alien blood is rare.”
Kai Xin sighed slightly: “I knew…it wouldn’t be so easy to get results.”
She said: “I’ve tossed and tossed enough tonight, I’m going to rest.”
“Okay. I hope you get a good night’s sleep and calm down a bit.” Adam said, “Also, if you need me to guide you with the supernatural ability data manipulation you have obtained, then…”
“I’m sorry to trouble you. I’ll ask you to teach me when I’m free.” Kai Xin yawned. Just as he was about to climb onto the bed, he suddenly remembered that he didn’t take a shower.
With a sullen face, she picked up the bath towel and went into the bathroom. While taking a shower, she wrote a report to Eve, reporting the second batch of players and Adam’s movements like last time.
Eve soon replied: “Yes, continue.”
It seems that it is very satisfied with Kai Xin’s understanding of notifying it immediately after returning to the Second World.
Waking up in the morning, Kai Xin turned on the communicator and saw Adam’s email notifying her to attend the interrogation as expected.
She washed and dressed with a numb expression, took the mask from the drawer, went downstairs at a fixed time, and met Zhang Xiaoyun in the elevator without any accidents—a fellow from the first world.
The last time Kaixin bought coffee in her reincarnation, this time she hesitated, chose milk, and then bought an extra bag of bread and two chocolate energy bars, because she knew that the brain-computer memory reading would last for a long time, and she would miss it if it was too long. lunch.
Perhaps it was because Kai Xin’s expression was too unapproachable. Zhang Xiaoyun glanced at her several times and didn’t dare to talk to her, but he still followed her and bought coffee.
When walking out of the building, Kai Xin calmly took out the mask and put it on his face, then turned to ask Zhang Xiaoyun, “Where’s your mask? The pollution is serious today.”
Zhang Xiaoyun was a little startled, and quickly explained in a pretentious manner: “It’s the same whether you wear it or not…”
“That’s right.” Kai Xin stepped out of the staff apartment.
Kai Xin feels that she is a ruthless process machine, because she has already experienced it once, and she cannot choose another route, so she can only walk forward along the established route and lie down on the brain.
She tiredly told Zhang Xiaoyun in the elevator that it was time to get off the elevator, and hinted that Adam should help Zhang Xiaoyun properly, then she went to the office to wake Wei Zhi, reminding her to go to the medical center for treatment.
When Wei Zhi went out of the office to receive treatment, Kai Xin changed his mind.
“I’ll go with you, team leader.” Kai Xin said.
Wei Zhi turned her head with concern, “Are you not feeling well, Kai Xin?”
“Yes, the physical pain has healed, but I always feel weak and my head hurts. I want to undergo a comprehensive physical examination again.” Kai Xin said.
Wei Zhi smiled: “Then let’s go together.”
They took the elevator to the floor where the medical center is located.
It happened to be Dr. Huang who was seeing a doctor in the treatment room today. He seemed to be working hard all the time, 365 days a year.
Kui Xin stood by, watching Dr. Huang skillfully examine Wei Zhi’s body, prescribe medicine, and ask the nurse to take her to the ward for rest and infusion.
“Long time no see, Dr. Huang.” Kai Xin greeted politely.
“I haven’t seen you for a while,” Dr. Huang sighed. “It’s good that I got promoted. Team Leader Wei is a nice person.”
“I was promoted, but I also experienced many dangers. Fortunately, I am still alive.” Kai Xin smiled. “Last time you said that the regeneration of my flesh and blood may push out the metal skull…”
Dr. Huang said: “Yes! What, do you feel unwell? If you feel unwell, please tell me in time, and I will take it off for you and prepare another treatment plan.”
“Occasionally I feel a headache. I don’t know if it’s the reason, so I want to see you.” Kai Xin lied calmly.
Dr. Huang went to get the testing equipment: “Then I’ll show you.”
Kai Xin stared at Dr. Huang’s back, and finally confirmed that this well-hidden boy had the ability to remove the metal skull safely.
The key is how to make him obedient?
