Chapter 178: reason

"Doctor, is No. 0 a human or a bionic?" Lu Wen asked.

"I don't know this either. When he came to my research institute as an assistant, I didn't observe him carefully. I always thought he was a human being. But what happened later made me doubt him again, just like the memory Yin Long left for you. As he said, he is special."

"Doctor, can you tell me what is special about him?"

"Contradiction, he is a complete contradiction." Dr. Jiang recalled some contents, "He seems to have extreme hatred for the human group and wants to destroy all human beings. So when I guessed his identity, I initially thought that he was also a human being. , maybe out of some hatred for oneself.”

The distaste for oneself extends to the entire group.

Then he wants to destroy the entire tribe.

This kind of person is actually relatively common.

Hate everyone, hate the whole world, but very few can act on it.

This kind of psychology may stem from the inferiority complex in childhood. When the inferiority complex reaches the extreme and the psychological defense line collapses, hatred will arise, a spiritual transformation will occur, and negative emotions will occupy the entire life.

Of course there are other reasons for this sentiment.

Human joys and sorrows are not the same.

"Some people feel uncomfortable and will cry loudly to seek comfort. Others will suppress it in their hearts. After suppressing it for a period of time, they will tie bombs all over their bodies and go to a crowded place to blow themselves up." Dr. Jiang told Lu Wenju. An example.

Even if you die, you still have to recruit a few more people.

Regardless of whether those people are innocent or not.

There is no such thing as innocence in this world anyway.

This is the effect of ordinary extreme psychology put into action.

In order to destroy the entire human group, it will take many years of action and accumulation.

"But he also has a redemptive side. When I first interviewed him, I asked him a question." Dr. Jiang said: "I asked him why he wanted to learn technology."

"Actually, this question is very simple. I just want to see what the intentions of these people who came to interview my assistant are and whether any of them have any evil intentions."

A very simple question indeed.

There are countless possible answers.

"At that time, when I was recruiting assistants for the first time, there were many people who came, including some who were particularly outstanding. Some said they wanted to leave their own page in the history book, while others said they wanted to learn technology. To benefit the residents of Baker City and reduce the cost of transforming people... And No. 0, he seems particularly ordinary among those people. "

In Dr. Jiang’s description.

Among the people who applied to be his assistant back then, Number Zero's intelligence and skills could only be considered average.

"He said... he wanted to save someone."

"Doctor, that's what No. 0 said, so it's not very credible."

"No, that sentence was very sincere. I could feel that he was sincere. I was moved at that time. Although he is not capable enough, I can slowly teach him."

then.

Zero, a young man who was unremarkable among his peers, was selected by Dr. Jiang and became his assistant.

The story becomes clear later.

Number Zero was not satisfied with what Dr. Jiang taught him and secretly copied the information from the institute.

After many copies, Dr. Jiang discovered an anomaly and drove Zero out of the institute.

"At the time, I actually couldn't believe it. Even if he didn't copy those technologies, I would slowly teach him in the years to come." Dr. Jiang sighed.

"Doctor, what kind of information did Zero take away at that time?" Lu Wen asked.

"all."

"all?"

Lu Wen was shocked.

Even though Dr. Jiang was young at that time, the knowledge of an android cannot be judged by age.

"He said he wanted to save someone, and that was probably the only truth he told me from the beginning to the end." Dr. Jiang said, "Later I wondered if he was not human."

"He may be a mechanical life. He once had a good relationship with a certain human being, but that human being was killed by another human being, so he hates human beings extremely... but the one he wants to save is also a human being."

contradiction.

For a complex machine, this contradiction is easily resolved.

But the contradiction shown in Zero is quite prominent.

Death and life.

"The two instructions collided in his body, so that he has not made much progress for so many years. He may... not be an android with advanced intelligence at all, but an ordinary machine, a machine with low intelligence. , through a certain degree of self-evolution, he became the number zero that people know now.”

The word zero itself has a great meaning.

Before anything else.

"He came back some time ago, back to Baker City. There have been many unusual events in Baker City recently, including the death of the reformed councilman. It was probably him who did it," Dr. Jiang said.

"Causing a war between humans and androids in Baker City?" Lu Wen asked.

"It can be said that if he wants to destroy the entire human group, Baker City is the best place to start. The next target he will attack is the android councilman."

Several pictures appeared on the big screen.

That was a photo of the death scene of the reformed councilman a week ago.

He died miserably, and all his limbs were torn off by powerful force, whether they were flesh and blood limbs or metal limbs that were later modified.

It was as if he had been torn apart alive by a ferocious beast.

This kind of power is simply impossible for humans to possess.

Both cyborgs and special androids can possess this powerful power to tear apart bodies.

But it's impossible for the Cyborgs to take action against their own MPs.

That's why there are rumors leaking out.

It is said that the android organizations in the no-man's land took action because this modified congressman stole the limelight of the android congressman.

"If the calculation is correct, in a few days, the android congressman will also die, and all traces at the scene will point to humans."

At that time, there will be no need to argue whether it is right or wrong, true or false.

The flames of war will burn in the skies above Baker City.

Air raid sirens that have not been sounded for decades may become routine. The mere scramble for air supremacy is enough to plunge the entire Baker City residents into war and panic.

"Actually, I have never agreed with June to go out on adventures, and those underground organizations don't have much ability to affect me." Dr. Jiang pointed at Yin June, "But Zero is back, and I don't want the order of Baker City to be destroyed by him." Break, so this period is more laissez-faire.”

"Doctor, are you not sure how to deal with Zero now?" Lu Wen asked.

"I have a certain degree of confidence, but you also know the biggest characteristic of No. 0. That guy is timid. He never comes forward in person. Every time, he controls a vegetative puppet to be the real culprit behind the scenes. I learned that technique from me..."

"So Doctor, the Zero who first learned technology from you is probably his true form?"

"Yes, now that I think about it, I may have missed a great opportunity to eradicate the evil."

What Yin June did during this period was actually very simple.

Sometimes he would kill some small leaders of underground organizations at night and sow discord with large underground organizations.

Investigate Zero's movements from time to time.

Sometimes the bad evidence collected is used to threaten those in the news media, asking them to release positive news and tell everyone that the reformed congressman was not killed by the android organization.

But this approach has little effect.

"The chaos in Baker City has caused the military to be weak and unable to suppress the android organization in the no-man's land. This kid, June, has always wanted to solve the underground organization in Baker City and end the chaos."

A well-ordered city will make the android organization in the no-man's land feel afraid.

For example, in Mowu City, the androids did not dare to start a war easily.

When the balance of strength is broken, there is no need for war.

"Doctor, since the chaos in Baker City cannot be ended in the short term, there is only one way left to find out the true identity of Zero and make him completely disappear from this world."

"This idea is more unrealistic than ending the chaos in Baker City. No wonder you and June can see eye to eye."

Dr. Jiang looked at Yin Liuyue who was making plans on the other side of the console and smiled.

"I understand how you feel. After all, you are the candidate for the bionic councilor in Mowu City. If nothing goes wrong, you will definitely be the first bionic councilor in the history of Mowu City. Then Zero will take action against you."

"Doctor, you have also seen it in my memory. In fact, No. 0 attacked me a long time ago."

"Yes, but then he realized you had the potential to be a member of Parliament."

"Doctor, do you know the real reason why he attacked me earlier?"

"The reason... is similar to what you think."

Dr. Jiang held Lu Wen's hand and passed him another piece of information.

Those are all the recorded androids that Zero has kidnapped in the past few decades.

"The common characteristic of those bionic people is that they are very close to humans. Zero may think that those bionic people are transformed from humans, so they dismantle them and study them to find hope of resurrecting flesh and blood life." Dr. Jiang said.

"So, Jiang Xiaonian has guessed all of Zero's actions correctly."

Lu Wen thought again of the high-spirited Jiang Xiaonian at that time, and his words were full of disdain for Zero.

That is a genius' contempt for ordinary people.

"Doctor, what do you think now?" Lu Wen asked.

"Protect the bionic congressman well so that Zero can't attack him. Time will smooth everything out, and the truth about the death of the bionic congressman will slowly be accepted by people."

"It's a bit unrealistic to rely on June alone."

"Isn't this also you?"

Unknowingly, he became a tool man.

But it was still too much for two people to protect an android councilor under the watchful eye of Zero.

They now don't know where Zero is hiding or when they will take action, so everything is very passive.

You have to be proactive.

In fact, Lu Wen wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to find the true identity of No. 0 once and for all.

"Doctor, do you have any plans?" Lu Wen asked.

"You kid, you've only had your phone turned on for more than a month, and you're still not flexible enough. Just like June, your brain can't turn." Dr. Jiang smiled and said, "You already know the enemy's plan, so just destroy his plan. ?"
