Jiang Baimian quickly looked at Avia and focused on the worn-out mobile phone in her palm.
She pondered for a while, took a few steps forward, and moved Avia's finger from the dial button.
After doing this, she pushed Avia and shook her awake.
The reason why Jiang Baimian didn't directly take away the phone was to be cautious, fearing that bad changes would occur after the item was separated from the owner.
She didn't care much about this at first, and felt that as long as the target didn't press any buttons, it wouldn't be a big problem, but now, she can only say:
Old world entertainment materials are harmful!
After learning about all kinds of strange things, whether they are true or not, it is inevitable to think a little too much.
Be careful... Seeing that Avia was about to wake up, Jiang Baimian took two steps back, pulling enough distance to avoid the other party's overreaction.
She glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao and solemnly reminded:
"Wait, you're mainly responsible for listening."
She was afraid that Avia wouldn't appreciate Shang Jianyao's jokes and would die together.
"What if there is an important issue?" Shang Jianyao asked rhetorically.
"Tell me quietly first, and I'll ask." Jiang Baimian was impeccable.
"Okay." Shang Jianyao closed his mouth.
At this time, Avia slowly opened her eyes, revealing light blue eyes.
As soon as she saw Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, she sat up abruptly, shrank back, and put the phone in her palm to her chest with a vigilant look on her face.
Jiang Baimian showed a friendly smile:
"Don't be nervous, we have no ill will towards you, and we don't belong to the organization that wants to eliminate you."
"Who are you?" Avia did not relax her vigilance and moved a finger to the dial button of the old mobile phone.
Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said in a serious tone:
"We came from 'Pangaea.'"
"'Pangu creatures'..." Avia's pupils suddenly enlarged.
It seemed she might have been more frightened.
"..." Jiang Baimian was speechless for a while.
At this time, she suddenly hoped that Shang Jianyao would speak and gag.
But Shang Jianyao upholds the promise just now, silence is golden.
Jiang Baimian calmed down, smiled and said:
"Our main purpose is to get in touch with you, ask your grandfather Ole what last words he left, and understand what your personal needs are.
"We will do our best to satisfy what we can."
She said it very bluntly, meaning that "Pangu creatures" first followed the soldiers, hoping to reach a cooperation agreement and win-win for both parties.
Seeing that Avia was still silent, Jiang Baimian added:
"You should be well aware that doing something bad to you means nothing to us."
Avia finally moved. She brushed the wet blonde hair with the other hand that was not holding the item, and smiled slightly sarcastically:
"Can you take me from the 'First City'?"
Jiang Baimian laughed and asked back:
"Do you really wish that?"
Avia was silent.
She is sure that "First City" will send awakeners at the level of "Spiritual Corridor" to protect herself, but she is not sure whether "Pangu Creatures" will waste resources like this. At the same time, she suspects that after her value is drained, the other party will ruthlessly abandon her. Own.
Moreover, she was born and grew up in the first city, lived for twenty or thirty years, and was used to everything here.
Compared to her cousin Marcus, she is not so ambitious.
Without giving Avia a chance to think, Jiang Baimian said quickly:
"You know, the situation outside is changing rapidly. If you don't hurry up, you can't communicate anything."
Avia was silent for a few seconds and said:
"What do you want to know?"
"Did your grandfather Aure, Mr. Maximian, tell you anything before he died?" Jiang Baimian asked in a more general way.
Avia showed a little smile:
"You know a lot. I didn't know what his real name was until he died."
She paused, and said without delay:
"I can't think of what I need you to do for the time being, so let's say everything that needs to be said first, I believe you should keep your promises.
"Hehe, don't doubt anything, I have wanted to tell others about these things for a long time, and I have been holding them in my heart. It is not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous."
"As far as I can, even if the company doesn't promise you, I will personally help you." Jiang Baimian said solemnly.
Avia glanced at the dead maid and organized the language:
"My grandfather told us just before he died that his real name was Maximian Urbinos Brutus, chief scientist of the Third Academy of the Old World.
"He is an expert in artificial intelligence and robotics, working on a secret project before the destruction of the old world.
"That project is divided into two directions, one is the combination of artificial intelligence and urban operation, and the other is silicon-based chips to simulate human consciousness and deepen artificial intelligence.
"The latter is just the opposite of the 'eternal life' plan of the monk order. One is to verify the existence of human consciousness, by designing a special chip set to carry the uploaded consciousness, and the other is to use those chips in the robotics field to seek the best arrangement Combination, see if the chip's complex electrical signals can be used to simulate the closest module to human consciousness."
Jiang Baimian nodded and said:
"From this point of view, the predecessor of the monk order should also be the first research institute in the old world, right?"
Responsible for the "Eternals" branch.
"You really know a lot." Avia sighed, "But I don't know exactly which research institute was the predecessor of the monk order."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao suddenly pulled Jiang Baimian's sleeve, motioning her to turn her back, and she had something to tell her quietly.
This made Avia nervous.
Sneaky and suspicious!
"What do you want to ask?" Jiang Baimian asked in a suppressed voice.
Shang Jianyao replied in a low voice:
"Ask Ole why he left 'Mechanical Paradise'? This is what Lao Ge wants to know."
"..." Jiang Baimian said silently for a second, "You can ask directly."
"No." Shang Jianyao's attitude was very firm, "I promised to tell you first, it's up to you to ask."
Jiang Baimian suddenly felt like he was eating his own fruit.
She turned back, smiled subconsciously, and asked Avia:
"After the destruction of the old world, the Third Research Institute should not be damaged. Why did your grandfather leave there and go to the Red River Basin to create the 'First City'?"
Avia instinctively glanced left and right:
"Because he discovered his most outstanding work, the most powerful artificial intelligence he named 'Origin Brain' seems to have really produced a certain consciousness, a consciousness similar to that of humans.
"Also, it has its own ideas and is secretly planning something.
"This made my grandfather feel a strong danger, and before the 'source brain' plan was completed, he hurriedly escaped from the Third Research Institute, which is now the 'Mechanical Paradise'.
"You don't seem too surprised, it seems that you already know about this.
"My grandfather said that when he fled, he tried to contact the researchers of the Third Research Institute who had survived the destruction of the old world, and it turned out that they were all lost..."
The last sentence made Jiang Baimian feel a little creepy.
She finally understood why Oley told Marcus and his mother to be wary of "Mechanical Paradise" and not to believe in "Original Brain".
After the two humans on the opposite side digested this part of the information, Avia continued:
"My grandfather told us to be careful about visitors from 'Mechanical Paradise' because he has the method of how to format the 'Brain'. This is a back door that was reserved at the time of design and manufacture, not that the 'Brain' can change by itself of."
Jiang Baimian nodded as if he understood, then frowned and asked:
"In that case, why didn't Ole try to format it directly after he found out that there was a problem with the 'source brain'?"
"My grandfather didn't say it." Avia shook her head.
Jiang Baimian turned and asked:
"Then did he mention the Eighth Research Institute?"
"Of course." Avia replied with a dignified expression, "Before my grandfather tried to become emperor, he hid the technical data related to 'Origin Brain' and some of the information he sorted out in the dangerous laboratory in Ruins No. 13. , which includes the content about the Eighth Research Institute.
"Other than that, he didn't talk much to us, but occasionally scolded 'it's all the fault of these guys', thinking that some of them are probably still alive, but some kind of terrible change has taken place. , has become a lackey of the dark and needs to beware."
As the chief scientist of the Third Research Institute, Olei does know a lot... Jiang Baimian is very pleased.
She thought about it and asked directly:
"Did your grandfather mention the cause of the destruction of the old world or the origin of the 'innocence'?"
Avia showed an expression of memory:
"I didn't say it. Just one time, my grandfather behaved very strangely after a housekeeper in our family suffered from 'intentional disease'. He didn't feel sad, nor panic and fear, but more doubt and anger."
Jiang Baimian, who couldn't analyze what this represented for a while, turned his attention to the worn-out mobile phone in Avia's palm:
"Is this the dangerous item your grandfather left you?"
"Yes." Avia nodded.
At this time, Shang Jianyao pulled Jiang Baimian's sleeve again.
Phew, Jiang Baimian sighed and said:
"Are you asking directly?"
The two sides have already had a good communication, so don't worry that a word will turn against each other.
Shang Jianyao looked at Avia, and said curiously:
"Can this phone talk to your dead grandfather?"
"..." Avia was a little sluggish for a while.
"This is a ghost story!" she said slightly annoyed when she regained her senses.
Immediately afterwards, she changed her words:
"However, this phone does contain a mysterious number."
"How mysterious?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Avia was silent for a few seconds and said:
"I initially thought it was a phone call from someone big in the city, or a number connecting to somewhere in the old world, but then I found out that it was made up of numbers, symbols and some gibberish, and it didn't seem to make any sense on the surface."
"Maybe it's encrypted." Jiang Baimian pointed out calmly.
Avia nodded slightly:
"I think so too. In short, the old world can be ruled out, because the corresponding communication network has long been destroyed."
"No." Shang Jianyao's tone became sinister, "Maybe it was connected in a special and supernatural way."
