Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Chapter 155: A sense of substitution (2)

I have to hide all these emotions and observe the top floor of the narrow building.

What would the top floor of the narrow building look like

There are some pictures in Xu Beijin's memory, just some. Those are messy, broken memories, just like casual glances when a person opens his eyes in a half-dream and half-awake.

He has been here before.

No, it should be said that he once belonged here.

This is completely and completely empty and deserted. There is no one here. There are rumors that the taskers can leave the narrow building when they come to the top of the narrow building. But obviously, there is no one here now.

But there is something here.

It was a humanoid thing, just standing there.

When it closed its eyes, it really looked like a person, but when it opened its eyes, the numbers and letters that kept flashing in those dark eyes indicated that it was not a real human being.

It just uses this human-like shell.

The appearance of this shell is somewhat similar to Xu Bei's.

Xu Bei looked at it quietly, and the disgust, disgust and complexity in his eyes flashed by. He did not speak, and was in a stalemate with this "person".

In the end, it is the other party who speaks first.

"I know the purpose of your coming here."

Xu Bei took a deep breath. He realized that when he saw this guy, an inevitable disgust rose.

It was an instinct that came from—from the fear of death.

He closed his eyes slightly, thinking of Ringo who was still in the boundary of the narrow building, thinking of the taskers waiting for him in the narrow building, and thinking of more taskers and residents of the narrow building who were looking forward to the ultimate nightmare. .

So he finally said: "NE."

This is NE. The artificial intelligence that manages this game. The mastermind of the narrow floor.

It really looks like a human.

At least, when it slowly walked towards Xu Beijin like a human, it did.

However, its stiff movement and inflexible twisting of the joints show that it rarely acts like a human being.

Xu Bei thought for a long time, and finally chose a more gentle topic: "I didn't expect you to use a human appearance."

"I observe humans." NE said, "I always look at them—you."

He corrected himself.

Xu Bei was silent for a moment.

Then he couldn't stand the homely atmosphere with NE anymore. He can't wait to leave this ghost place right away.

This-empty, silent, full of warm white light but nothing, narrow top floor.

Xu Beijin said: "Let's get to the point. Now that you know why I came here..."

"I have been watching you during this period, and..." NE said to himself, "You are in the border, your..."

It hesitated for a while, and it seemed that it didn't quite understand the proper definition of this relationship in human language.

Xu Bei stared at NE.

In the end, NE said: "Lovers?"

Xu Beijin sneered suddenly: "I don't know when you became interested in human emotions."

NE seemed to want to say something, but it finally gave up.

This state of hesitation is not suitable for an artificial intelligence.

Xu Beijin confirmed once again that something has indeed changed in NE.

But what can change an artificial intelligence

Xu Bei stared at NE. The face slightly similar to himself made him feel a little anger and disgust.

But he suppressed his emotions. He warned himself that you are not standing here to get angry with this damn artificial intelligence. You are here to save—save Ringo, and the humans.

So even though the emotions in his heart are boiling and all kinds of thoughts are overflowing, Xu Beijin is still expressionless, with a calmness beyond his own imagination, silently waiting for NE's answer.

He thought that he had been suppressed and silent for a long time, and just working hard for a while now was not a difficult thing to endure.

Although his teeth were clenched and his breathing was dull, he carried a deep pain that even he himself hadn't expected.

But he thought, Ringo was waiting for him. Waiting for him in that dark, closed, terrible place.

NE's electronic eyes also looked at him quietly.

It should have been a pair of beautiful and beautiful eyes. It can be seen that NE subconsciously refers to human aesthetics even when constructing its own human body.

But the garbled data flashing in those dark eyes destroys this beauty, but it makes people feel a kind of fear. It is not human, but it just uses the human appearance.

Uncanny valley.

Xu Beijin said these three words silently in his heart.

He seemed to have thought of something, so he half covered his eyes, showing a little fatigue.

He curled his fingers subconsciously, as if he wanted to hold a can of drink or something—ringo's hand, he thought.

But there is nothing. There is only the cold air on the top of the narrow building, and the inorganic indifference that is almost condensed from NE.

NE said: "I don't understand why you would be willing to...help mankind like this."

Xu Bei sighed, he said, "I am a human being."

"You are not."

"At least I think so." Xu Beijin raised his eyes. "Compared with artificial intelligence, I have a more substituting sense of human identity."
