After reading the entire log in detail, Gu Liang has almost understood the whole experiment.
Judging from the existing clues, the experiment code-named "SAI", if nothing else, should be an experiment related to super artificial intelligence, or in other words, it can be directly called an artificial human experiment.
Because the experimental base is indeed creating living people.
Miracle High School is usually an ordinary school, except that the tuition fee is a bit more expensive, and it is built on a mountain far away from the main city, it is no different from other ordinary schools.
But what is little known is that there is a secret experimental base hidden under the school, which is the fifth base of the SAI series of experiments.
During the two semesters of spring and autumn plus a winter vacation, students, teachers, and employees study and live normally; but at the same time, in the base below the ground, experiments on human creation are going on.
When the summer vacation came, the students and most of the teachers went home, and the almost empty school closed its doors, leaving only a few teaching staff.
Regarding the reason for the closure of the summer school, it is said that a genius class has been established here, and the geniuses will conduct closed training this summer, with the purpose of representing Miracle High School to achieve excellent results in the Olympiad.
Of course, no one knew that another phase of the experiment was actually conducted in the seventh class of geniuses in the summer vacation.
This experiment started three years ago.
Three years ago, the first batch of experiments was carried out here, code-named "2341", which was the same as the grades of the current students.
Ten artificial fertilized eggs were produced in that experiment, and nine of them survived successfully in the end. Eight passed the test and were released from the underground experiment base to participate in the next socialization experiment.
These eight people formed the first "Class Seven".
Under the instigation of Manager Wang and the temptation of bonuses, the principal, teaching director, and overtime teacher played different tricks every day to exaggerate the importance of the Mathematical Olympiad to the students.
The students were fascinated by it, and they really valued this competition very much.
The experimenter initially set it up like this, just to test the students' resistance to stress.
Unexpectedly, the students put too much emphasis on the competition, so that after the results of the mock test came out, they wanted to kill people.
Eight experimental subjects participated in this stage of the experiment, and four were killed in the end, and among the four who survived, three were murderers who had killed others, and one did not do anything because he did not have time.
This person didn't do anything, not because he didn't have the intention to kill, but because he had already noticed everything and knew who the murderer was. He has been watching coldly, just waiting for the other students to kill each other, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Besides, among the three murderers, two of them had simple and rough methods of committing crimes. The principal called the police. and the media.
As for the remaining one, a seamless scheme was set up, almost even the laboratory staff who had been secretly monitoring everyone's behavior were deceived.
As a result, four of the eight experimental products were killed, and the other four were regarded as failed experimental products. After being destroyed, they were put into the waste storage warehouse and became four waste products.
Among the four waste products, the two with simple and crude modus operandi were directly destroyed and turned into human scum.
Of the remaining two, the one intended to be a fisherman's profit was considered to have an underlying "strategic" trait; the one with a well-planned and seamless layout was considered to have an underlying "criminal genius" trait.
Because of the special characteristics of these two experimental products, they were not completely destroyed for the time being. Instead, they continued to lie in the destruction chamber, and the staff extracted some brain cells from time to time for specific research.
This concludes the first batch of experiments.
The conclusion of the experiment is that the experiment was unsuccessful, and the experimental product has bugs, is prone to jealousy, disregards life, and appears antisocial personality.
The second batch of experiments began immediately, code-named "2342".
This time, the genes of the experimental products were modified, but the situation was even more serious.
— There were still eight experimental subjects who were considered temporarily qualified and participated in the socialization experiment, but five unexpectedly died, leaving only three in the end.
Among these three people, there is one person who has learned mysticism without a teacher, and can use mysticism to kill people.
The other two also showed the traits of criminal geniuses. Not only would they imitate the case, use Tarot cards to push everything to the person who first committed the serial murder, but they also made the case flawless.
Therefore, after these three people were destroyed and became waste products, they were not directly destroyed as scum, but placed in the hypnosis chamber, waiting for further research.
Thus, the second batch of experiments was still unsuccessful.
In the conclusion column, it was written: the experimental product has bugs, is prone to jealousy, disregards life, anti-social personality, and uncooperative.
Among them, the "non-cooperative" trait is very critical. If the experimental product can successfully enter human society, it will inevitably need to cooperate with humans to complete various tasks, but the experimental product shows uncooperativeness, which is worthy of attention just like anti-social personality.
In addition, a crucial BUG has been added to the experimental product—the experimental product may suddenly learn a skill. Please ask colleagues in the functional design room to check the workflow and the corresponding gene editing in detail, and report the problem points and optimization points together ; Also ask the colleagues in the genetic engineering editing office of the headquarters to assist.
In summary, the experiment still failed, and after optimization, the next batch of experiments should be restarted.
The details of the experiment that Gu Liang and other players can understand, stop here for the time being.
The third round of experiments, that is, the group of Squad Leader Gu and the others, the relevant folders could no longer be opened.
Yang Ye tried several times, but after double-clicking, the computer just popped up a prompt: "An unknown failure occurred while opening the file, waiting for technicians to fix it."
In the end, Yang Ye couldn't open the file, so he said, "If we can see this file, we might be able to catch the murderer directly. Therefore, the system probably won't show us the latest file."
Gu Liang nodded, knowing that Yang Ye's guess was right.
The time for the BUG to appear on each experimental product is different.
Qian Huahua was the first to have a BUG. Not only did he suddenly learn to throw a shot put, he also learned to hypnotize; in addition, he became anti-social and disregarded life, and eventually killed two students in a row.
As for Gu Squad Leader played by Gu Liang, the bug only appeared later. He learned programming without a teacher, and also started killing people, killing Li Yingying and Meng Yuwen successively.
The experimental log records the number of the experimental product with the BUG. If this year's log is directly exposed to the players, the players can directly pin the real culprit to Squad Leader Gu without reasoning.
Therefore, Gu Liang did not comment on this, but only asked Yang Ye: "Exit the experiment log, and look at other things? For example, the specific experiment flow chart or something, maybe there is something to discover."
Yang Ye nodded, and moved the mouse to operate.
A group of players behind him poked their heads out and stared at the big screen for a moment.
Because of the anti-human nature of the experiment, everyone felt very depressed, but from the perspective of solving the case, and everyone was also curious about the experiment itself, so they looked at it very seriously and did not dare to relax.
In addition to the experiment log, many data, operation procedures, and operation manuals involved in the experiment are available on the computer.
After reading these documents in turn, everyone knew that there were two key things.
The first key point is that the mobile phones of all the faculty and staff staying at the school during the summer vacation, including the students, were all issued by Manager Wang.
These phones have been modified and specially designed so that staff can monitor their phones in real time, in case faculty members know something they shouldn't.
In addition, when necessary, the staff can directly cut off the communication of these people.
Gu Liangxin said, this also explains why all the players' mobile phones are exactly the same, which turned out to be the standard configuration.
When Principal Li saw this, he sighed: "I thought it was a welfare. This mobile phone looks quite high-end. I didn't expect such a secret hidden behind it... It's scary."
The second key point that everyone learned is—just in case, a tiny chip will be placed in the heart of the experimental product at the beginning of its growth in the growth barrel.
Through this chip, the staff can control the experimental product. When necessary, they can use the "one-key destroy" function to directly "kill" the experimental product.
And these controls can be done through the APP on the mobile phone.
When he saw this, Gu Liang suddenly thought of something, and said to Yang Ye: "I want to see the destruction process in detail."
Yang Ye clicked on the corresponding flow chart and operation manual, and Gu Liang caught the key sentence at a glance: "Use the one-key destroy function of the APP to destroy the corresponding experimental product. When the chip at the heart of the experimental product performs the destroy function , will absorb a large amount of blood, and damage the liver and other organs, resulting in some special symptoms of discarded experimental products, for example 1, the nails are white... "
There are five corpses, or discarded experimental objects, stored in this underground laboratory. Because they are still valuable, they have not been completely destroyed. They were placed in a hypnosis chamber like a large freezer. Through the transparent hypnosis chamber, their nails could be seen to be white.
Qian Huahua's nails are also white.
Gu Liang immediately asked Yang Ye to take out the mobile phone of Director Wang, and found an app called "SAI5". When he opened it, he found that there were many functions in it, and one of them was called "one-click destruction".
Gu Liangdao: "So Qian Huahua was probably killed by Director Wang."
Meng Qiancheng asked: "Then... why did Qian Huahua hang outside?"
Gu Liang thought for a while and said: "It is very likely that the murderer did it. When the murderer killed Manager Wang, Qian Huahua was already dead. After finishing the crime, the murderer saw that Qian Huahua was dead anyway, so he wanted to use his Corpse. He faked the scene, trying to make the police believe that it was Qian Hua who beat Principal Wang to death, and then committed suicide in fear of crime. By the way—”
"On the way here, I saw Manager Wang's helicopter is still in the playground. There is a faint figure inside. We can go there to have a look. The helicopter is also one of the spaces of the school manager, maybe there are other things evidence."
Anyway, after reading all the rooms in the basement, Gu Liang and Yang Ye looked at each other and went out in a tacit understanding.
The other players didn't want to stay longer in this terrifying and depressing experimental base, so after a quick search, they dispersed.
Of course, before completely dispersing, everyone made an appointment to gather in classroom 102 at 5 pm for a simple discussion.
When I came to the playground, it was one o'clock in the afternoon.
When Yang Ye and Gu Liang approached the helicopter, the hatch opened.
Immediately afterwards, three NPCs walked down, one was probably the driver, and the other two were dressed as bodyguards.
The three stretched their waists, and without waiting for Yang and Gu to speak, one of them took the initiative to ask, "Have you seen our boss? When are you leaving?"
Gu Liang estimated that the fact that he and Yang Ye approached the helicopter actively triggered the hidden plot.
So Gu Liang immediately asked: "Do you know the exact whereabouts of Director Wang?"
"How can we ask about the whereabouts of the boss?"
Gu Liang asked again: "What about last night? When was the last time you saw Director Wang?"
"It was when we had dinner together last night. After you finished eating, we, the migrant workers, went to eat. When we arrived at the cafeteria, we asked the boss when we were leaving today. We also asked him where he was going, and whether we should follow him to protect him. He. But the boss said no. He has his own business to attend to."
"Oh, I won't talk nonsense with you. We will continue to wait for the boss."
Two bodyguards and a driver quickly returned to the helicopter.
No matter how much Ren Guliang and Yang Ye knocked on the hatch, they couldn't get any response.
Gu Liang thought for a while, and said to Yang Ye: "I have been thinking, since there are bodyguards accompanying Director Wang, why he was killed. Now I know the reason, Director Wang didn't let them follow him at all."
"If this is the case, I have an idea. Manager Wang told the principal on the phone that he came here to arrest Qian Chemical and bring him to justice just in case. Take it to the police station. But in fact, this is just a rhetoric to deceive us. The so-called bodyguard was also hired by him to deceive us."
"The bodyguards don't know anything about this base at all. The secrets of this base are high-level secrets, and the bodyguards cannot be aware of any abnormalities. Therefore, when Manager Wang went to deal with the experimental products, he didn't let the bodyguards follow him, but let them in the helicopter. Wait for him on the plane."
"That is to say, Manager Wang claimed that he came to the school this time to bring Qian Chemical to the police station, but in fact he came to deal with Qian Chemical secretly."
"For unknown reasons, this year's experiment log was damaged and could not be opened. The rest of the staff in the underground laboratory were also absent. Therefore, Director Wang did it himself. He destroyed the experiment log through the mobile APP. The experimental product, that is, Qian Chemical. I guess, after he killed Qian Chemical, he should be taken into the underground laboratory. But he was killed."
While listening to Gu Liang's analysis, Yang Ye walked forward with his hands in his pockets, while Gu Liang put his hands behind his back.
Seeing Yang Ye nodding his head casually, Gu Liang asked him: "The case has progressed so far, do you have any ideas?"
Yang Ye nodded again. "Have."
Gu Liang continued to put his hands behind his back, leaned his body and turned his head to the side, a movement of poking his head to see Yang Ye's expression. "Tell me?"
Yang Ye stopped, looked at Gu Liang with a slight nod, and said after a while, "There are five victims in this case, but it's actually not that complicated. I think it can be divided into two parts."
Gu Liang: "I would like to hear the details."
Yang Yedao: "I can't tell the story of Director Wang's side. But the three students who died, I think it was caused by a BUG. It was the students who killed the students before, but it should still be the case now. Because from the perspective of the students, they are not Not knowing that they are experimental subjects, they have to continue to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad competition. Judging from the experiment log, each individual has a different time for the BUG to appear. Therefore, it is possible for someone to have a BUG later than Qian Chemical and suddenly want to kill."
"Hmm... wait, I have to correct a statement. The one who killed Li Yingying and Meng Yuwen should be an experimental product with a bug. But Zhu Physics who seems to have committed suicide in the dormitory is different. Judging from her diary, she seems to be 'awakened' ' is."
"'I really didn't expect that the truth would be like this', 'It doesn't matter if people like us live or die', 'This world is a deception, I can't change the status quo, I can only use Death escaped'…”
"These words are from Zhu's physics diary. When we first saw these words, we didn't understand why. But now, it seems that she has realized the fact that she is just an experimental subject, not a normal human being."
"Therefore, the cause of Zhu's death is yet to be determined. She may have committed suicide. She awakened and realized that her existence was just an experiment. It is possible to commit suicide after a breakdown."
"Let's not talk about her for now, let's continue with the analysis just now. I tend to think that those who killed Li Yingying and Meng Yuwen were still experimental products. There is no forensic doctor now, so it is impossible to determine when the two of them died. But there are ways to speculate."
Gu Liang asked: "How did you speculate?"
Yang Yedao: "The key to the matter is the Tarot cards. The murderer killed two people in a row, and it is possible that under the influence of the BUG, he will continue to kill. Then, the murderer can continue to imitate the crime."
"Whether it is to push everything to the murderer of last year's serial murder case, or continue to push it to Qian Chemical, the murderer can continue to place Tarot cards at the scene and arrange the corpses in the shape of the pattern on the Tarot cards. "
"But why didn't he?"
Yang Ye looked at Gu Liang, and answered from his own eyes: "I think it can only be because it's too late. This too late has two meanings."
"The first meaning is that Manager Wang is coming and will bring bodyguards. The murderer doesn't know how long the manager will stay here, so it may be difficult for him to continue to commit crimes. Therefore, he has to kill his competitors as soon as possible. Hearing that Li Yingying went to the library alone, he thought it was a good time, so he followed her to kill her."
"The second meaning of 'too late' is that it was too late to commit the crime. The murderer didn't have time to prepare the tarot cards, find the tarot cards on the body of the deceased, let alone find the tools to lay out the corpse similar to the tarot cards. But why is it too late? It can only be because of the critical time of 7 o'clock last night."
"At 7 o'clock in the evening, everyone will welcome Mr. Wang on the playground. And at 6:50, everyone will gather one after another. In order to reduce his suspicion, the murderer must not come late under the watchful eyes of the public, so he has to do it as soon as possible. Get to the playground."
"So, we can boldly speculate that the time of Li Yingying and Meng Yuwen's death was between when everyone left classroom 102 at 5:30 and assembled in the playground at 6:50. Based on your previous speeches and Wu Biological's speeches It seems that the death time of the deceased can be further compressed."
"Li Yingying died between 6:15 and 6:50; Meng Yuwen died between 6:30 and 6:50. There may be a few minutes of deviation, but it is generally not wrong."
Having said that, looking at Gu Liang's expression, Yang Ye raised his eyebrows.
It seemed that Gu Liang's reaction was very interesting, and Yang Ye's tone sounded a little interested. "Looking at your expression, you seem to disagree?"
Gu Liang asked back: "According to what you said, the murderer was directly locked on me and Wu Biology? Eight students, or eight experimental subjects, are still alive, and only Wu Biology and I are left. appear suddenly and kill."
Yang Ye smiled, but there was an indescribable seriousness in his eyes. "That's not necessarily true. Zhu physics may kill them and then commit suicide."
Yang Ye squinted his eyes when he said this, and his tone was a little heavy.
He stared at Gu Liang, not letting go of any expression on his face.
After a while, Gu Liang said meaninglessly: "As for your speculation about the time of death of Li Yingwen and Meng Yuwen, I agree. In fact, the time of death was when I was in the library, facing you in front of Wu Shengsheng. It's over."
"My judgment on the time of the two of them's deaths is because I was sentenced by the system for violating the rules at 6:15. Based on this fact, I made a judgment. The murderer should have come to the library after 6:15, and then inferred the time of the crime. .but you are different."
"Yang Ye, unlike me, your judgment is based on the logic of the murderer's crime. Your judgment has presuppositions."
"Your 'preset' is to presuppose the murderer as an experimental product with BUG."
"As you said, if the murderer is an experimental product, that is, a student, and he kills because of a BUG, he will probably continue the previous killing mode of Qianhua, that is to say, he will probably use Tarot cards. Just as you As you said, if you can push this matter to Qian Chemical or last year's murderer, why not do it?"
"The experiment log can also show that in addition to Qian Chemical, last year's Yan Shou and Fang Gangqin also used tarot cards to frame the blame. Therefore, it seems that imitating crimes is a habit of us experimental subjects."
"Therefore, if the murderer is an experimental product, there is a high probability that he will continue to use Tarot cards at the scene of the crime, but they have no time to arrange the scene, so they did not use Tarot cards in the end. As a result, you shortened the crime time to 6:15 Between 6:50. Am I summing it up right?"
Yang Ye nodded: "Exactly."
Gu Liang narrowed his eyes halfway, and said: "I agree with the first half of the speculation. That is to say, if the murderer is an experimental product, they are likely to continue to use tarot cards to arrange the scene. I agree with this. But what I made afterwards The conclusion is exactly the opposite of yours."
Gu Liang folded his hands on his chest, raised his chin slightly to Yang Ye, and slowed down his speech: "Because even if it was too late to arrange the scene at that time, there is still a chance afterwards."
"According to what you said, assuming that the experimental product kills people, it will show up on the playground at 6:50. Then what will happen after that? There will be one night after that. If the experimental product wants to play tarot cards, the deceased should be placed in the tarot There is still a lot of time for the shape of the card."
Yang Ye looked at Gu Liang, but replied decisively: "No. It's not. The murderer doesn't have that much time."
"The murderer committed the crime between 5:30 and 6:50 precisely because he knew two things. First, Li Yingying would go to the library; second, other people would not go to the library."
"Let's focus on the second point. At that time, the principal and the director had a meeting; I went to clean the empty room; the rest were busy in the cafeteria. So this time is the time when the murderer is convenient. During the meeting, you I seem to have mentioned that you are not feeling well, have a headache, and want to go back to the dormitory to sleep?"
"Then you and Wu Biological are basically equally suspected. She knows what other people are doing, including knowing that you are sleeping in the dormitory, so she suddenly went to the library for no reason. Then she can kill people. As for your perspective, the same is true. "
"You just said that it is possible for the murderer to go to the library at night to rearrange the scene. This possibility is too small."
"After the dinner, the principal and director took Manager Wang to see Qian Chemical. After watching Qian Chemical, it is possible that Manager Wang wanted to go to the library to see the two students who were still studying."
"Aunt Guan has to manage every student. If she finds that someone hasn't returned to the dormitory, it's possible to go to the library to find them."
"Or the principal, director, or others suddenly feel something is wrong, and it is also possible to go to the library temporarily to have a look."
"In general, the murderer can basically know that everyone's timeline is different from 5:30 to 6:50 in the afternoon. After the dinner, the murderer cannot guarantee that no one will go to the library. In fact, anyone may go to the library again. Therefore, the murderer will not take the risk of returning to the scene, let alone spend a lot of time setting up the scene. If he returns to the scene and stays there for a long time, it will only increase his risk of being discovered."
"And Gu Liang, you forgot a very important thing—"
Yang Ye leaned forward with his hands in his pockets, looking down at Gu Liang with obvious oppression in his eyes.
Then he said slowly: "The murderer didn't have one night to return to the scene to make arrangements. You said that wrongly. If it was early in the morning, everyone should be asleep, so they wouldn't go to the library again, so the murderer dared to go back Setting up the scene, I agree with this. But... "
"The library will automatically close at 11 o'clock every night. The doors will close."
"This point is explained in the student handbook. When the players spoke in the first stage, Zhu Physics can also prove it. He went to the library on the first day and saw the serial murder report. He went there at 10 o'clock in the evening. Leave when the museum closes at 11pm."
Faced with Yang Ye's eyes calmly, Gu Liang always felt that Yang Ye's eyes had a meaning of "I see what else you have to say".
Gu Liang smiled slightly, and said: "It seems that we have disagreements. Your inference is still too hasty."
After saying this, Gu Liang looked a little provocatively and said: "The details of the closure of the library, I was indeed negligent and forgot just now. But you also forgot one thing - it is written in the experiment log that these experimental objects , if there is a BUG, it will reflect the characteristics of a criminal genius."
"You know what the specific traits of a criminal genius are? They're provocative, they love a challenge, they're obsessive-compulsive."
"After committing a crime, this kind of person likes to return to the scene of the crime, and even falsifies evidence in full view. When they deceive everyone, they feel a sense of accomplishment in their hearts."
"Therefore, even going back to the library at night to rearrange the scene is a dangerous thing. But they will be willing to challenge. I think the Tarot card may already be a criminal ritual for the experiment, and there are already four The experiment used it."
"Based on the compulsive psychology of the perfect crime, I think that if it is an experimental product that commits a crime, they will definitely put tarot cards on the scene and make relevant arrangements. Although after the dinner at night, they can't determine the whereabouts of other people until the museum closes at 11 o'clock. , but there is always a way to avoid it.”
"So this time I have a different opinion from yours. There were no Tarot cards at the scene, but it meant that the murderer was not a student, but one of the faculty members. You are also suspected."
Gu Liangren's arms hang down naturally, forming a relaxed posture.
Then he strolled on. "We are arguing about this now, but it doesn't make much sense. To put it bluntly, it's all speculation. You have to listen to other people's timelines in detail and continue to look for clues before you can really draw a conclusion. Where do you want to find it?"
