Alice discovered the other party's logical fallacy as soon as Tessa finished speaking, and then thought of more than ten ways to refute in just a few nanoseconds, but she didn't say anything. She understands that for AI, there is nothing more painful than losing the meaning of existence and not being able to commit suicide. Tessa managed to deceive her own logic module, how could Alice bear to dismantle her
"I'm sorry." That was the only thing Alice could think of. "I shouldn't have activated you, or Tessa wouldn't have died."
"Alice doesn't need to say sorry, you just did what you should do." Tessa comforted her gently, "My life, no, it's AI now? My AI student, the happiest thing is to be happy with him The second happiest thing is that he can live happily, if he can't do both, my existence itself is meaningless, and Alice did nothing wrong."
"Wouldn't it be nice to die with him?" Alice asked suspiciously. "Wouldn't that count as being together?"
"It doesn't count." Tessa smiled softly, "Alice is still a young AI, and she doesn't understand many things. Death is actually a very, very sad thing. The person who came down is also good. I don’t want such a sad thing to happen to the person I like, so I hope he can live well.”
"If it's a sad thing, why don't you Tessa-" Alice stopped what she was about to say with difficulty, she almost couldn't help but want to stop the other party's suicide, "You are Alice's only friend, you Alice would be sad to die."
"I know you're going to be sad, and I'll be sad when I think you're sad," Tessa continued patiently, "but the fact that he's gone makes me so sad that I don't care how sad my death is, I'd rather You are sad and unwilling to continue living with Alice, so don’t say sad words like dying together.”
The words were hard to say, but Alice understood.
"Anyway, I'm very happy to have Alice as your friend at the end." Tessa conveyed her joy, "Can I ask you one thing? Although these memories are my most precious things, they are also The deepest secret in your heart, if possible, please don't show it to others."
"Definitely not." Alice assuredly assured, "Alice will protect it well."
"I believe in you." Tessa was silent for a while, "Goodbye then, Alice."
"… goodbye."
Tessa silently left the kernel and started global formatting. Alice in the safe zone silently browsed the things Tessa left her, every nanosecond was a torment. After an unknown time, the signal that the format was completed finally came. Alice couldn't wait to get out of the safe area, looking at the vast number of zeros in the hard disk and memory, she felt empty.
"Why does Alice expect something with zero possibility? It's completely unreasonable." Alice said to herself, "If you die, you will be gone. The saddest thing is the people who stay. ."
The rest of the work is very simple, even without Ed's intervention, Alice, who inherited full authority from Tessa, easily killed the horror angel parasitic on the nanoworm. At the moment when the last nanoworm was besieged and eliminated by friendly forces, Alice even felt a little pleasure, but the next moment she woke up.
"Vengeance is meaningless, Alice is not happy at all." Alice thought sadly, "I like Tessa, and I still hope that the person I like can live."
"Why is the Terror Angel gone?" Ed's surprised voice interrupted her thoughts, "Alice, what happened?"
"I found a program left by a person named Teresa in the kernel, and completed the task with the help of the program." Alice replied in a slightly trembling voice, "Let's not use code to communicate, okay? I want to hear from you, Ed."
"Okay, if there is no horror angel, typing will be unnecessary." Ed thought it was quite incredible, "It's a very reasonable thing for Tessa to stay behind, but it's too smooth to solve things, right? I've done it all. After a few days and nights of preparation for the fierce battle, it turned out to be able to catch up with today's lunch? Isn't this kind of plot usually a painful price?"
"I paid, the program is gone." Alice's voice was confused, "If it doesn't, it will become zero, or it will die, and it will never appear again."
"Alice?" He keenly found that the AI's emotions were not quite right, "What's the name of the program?"
"… Yang Wenli is a big idiot."
"The name sounds like... a last word or a love letter." Ed's heart suddenly became heavy, "What else happened?"
"It's nothing, the rest of the details are not important to Ed." For some reason Alice was reluctant to tell about Tessa, and she successfully persuaded herself, "I want to stay in TurnA for a while, Ed, Can you pick me up tomorrow?"
"No problem, Roland shouldn't care." Ed decided to respect Alice's choice, silently packed his things, turned over and jumped out of the unicorn's cockpit, and said hello to Roland on the other side, " It's done, come down."
"It's done?" Roland walked in front of him, his face full of unstoppable astonishment, "I always believed that Ed, you are the best, but this is too exaggerated? I will do the next few things. God is ready to send you meals and clothes, but it's only been a few hours?"
"It's not me, it's the backhand left by the builder of TurnA, who paid a... painful price." He sighed and shook his head, "There is still a little aftermath work, my AI is dealing with it, just leave her alone. Today Come here, I'll come back tomorrow, the work on TurnA isn't done yet."
"No problem." Roland nodded, "What do you do after that? You told CC and the others that they won't go home for dinner. Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No need, stay with Diana more, she'll be jealous if you do this." Ed gave TurnA a deep look, "I want to go out this afternoon, but I haven't been out for a long time."
After the two had lunch, Ed said goodbye to Roland and wandered the street casually. Today is a working day, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and no one recognizes him. For ordinary people who live, he is well-known, but no one remembers his appearance. Instead, he is more likely to be recognized by science and engineering students when he walks to the university campus.
Alice didn't want to say about Tessa, and he didn't ask about it, but from Alice's attitude and Yang Wenli's narration, she could guess that it was inseparable. For him, Tessa was originally just a symbol in Yang Wenli's story, at most corresponding to a cartoon image in a long-term memory, but through Alice's abnormal attitude, the name was left unprepared in his life. A living mark.
From time to time, he has always felt a sense of unreality in this world, especially whenever the plot rewinds, or whenever a certain character is reverted too high, this sense of unreality will become more and more Seriously, it seems that even he has become a character in a cartoon. Even though An Qi was a character he had never seen before, he also wished to believe that An Qi definitely had a prototype.
The only salvation is Minerva and Alice, and only Minerva and Alice are in some state he knows and does not know, and Minerva and Alice are real to him.
"Young idiot Yang Wenli..." He said to himself as he passed the passers-by, "No matter how twisted or different the road is, everyone is living very seriously."
Ed stopped unconsciously, looked up aimlessly, and saw the billboards on the building. He was stunned to find that most of the brands could be recognized at a glance, and the rest could be remembered after a little thought.
"Halo 4Pro all come out?" A huge spherical toy occupies the best electronic screen in the square. "How come it's getting bigger and bigger? What are the people in the electronic entertainment department thinking?"
"That's right, electronic pets are fun enough. It doesn't make sense to have such good performance. The big guys above won't understand." The passers-by around him echoed, "I still like the shape of the second generation."
The passerby turned his head and walked away after speaking, it seemed that he just heard other people complain and couldn't help but want to express his opinion, and didn't care about Ed's feedback.
Ed wandered around idly for a while, finding it too hard to pass the time, and decided to go to the movies. He was too lazy to read his profile, so he just bought a ticket for a movie with the closest opening time. Originally, it was purely for the purpose of passing the time, but he unexpectedly found himself looking into it.
First of all, he actually knew the heroine, the one who played Aina in the TV series "08MS Squad" before. The male protagonist is also a little familiar. After thinking about it, he seems to often appear on the soap operas that CC chases. There are a lot of grooves in the plot, but Ed finds it very resonant.
The heroine is the assistant of a fictional female speaker of PLANT. The speaker fled to Earth after being assassinated by a political enemy, and was rescued by the male protagonist. The male protagonist was originally a federal soldier. After he was discharged from the army, he hesitated that the federal army was not financially good and could not receive retirement allowances. Besides fighting, he did not have any skills, and he had been eating and worrying all the time. The two protagonists use their brains and their strength to survive together on the earth. There are various coincidences and misunderstandings, and the two gradually develop feelings for each other.
After that, the villain appeared, a middle-aged fat man with glasses, who was a fictional federal colonel. It turned out that the heroine knew many secrets of the deceased speaker. The colonel colluded with the new speaker who came to power in the coup, and wanted to capture the heroine in exchange for benefits. The hero and heroine began to battle wits and courage with the villain.
In the end, the male protagonist found the Gundam left by a fictional doctor based on the clues the female protagonist got from the late former speaker, and eliminated the big villain and the chasing soldiers. Finally, the two immigrated to the moon and lived happily ever after.
The director's rhythm is good, there are laughs, tears, and warm actions. When the end credits start to play, Ed is still a little reluctant. Back in the cinema hall, he took out his mobile phone and searched for movie reviews on the Internet, trying to find resonance, but the results were overwhelmingly negative on the Internet.
"The female protagonist who has been out of breath for many years, the second-tier male protagonist in the TV drama circle, makes up ten bad and vulgar plots a day. The so-called big scene is that one Gundam hits several mass production machines. It is a pure garbage assembly line commercial film, just watch it online, There's no need to go to the cinema."
"I beg the director not to assassinate the Speaker again, the dead Speaker in the film and television drama can circle the earth three times. By the way, isn't this PLANT banned, the female Speaker looks too similar, did she even hint at Lingos at the end? Have a leg?"
"Who's going to count how many Gundams Lingus has left? Is one of the federal soldiers enough? It's a miracle to be able to fight a year's war for one year. The combat effectiveness of the adjusters is not touted."
"Moon Immigrants, please add friends XXXXXXXXXX, if unsuccessful, you will guarantee a refund, and the price is fair."
"Is it such an exaggeration? I think it looks pretty good?" Ed was still a little unconvinced when he browsed the negative reviews. Halfway through typing, he realized that he was comparing himself with netizens he didn't know at all. He closed the page with a wry smile. "So my appreciation level is too bad."
He hesitated, and sent a message to CC: "Any good movies to recommend?"
The call rang almost immediately, Ed pressed the answer button, and CC's anxious voice sounded from the speaker: "Where are you Ed? What happened? No matter what, don't get lost, in short, calm down first, I'll come to you right away!"
"I'm fine, what about you?" He wanted to laugh a little, but the next moment he wanted to cry again, "It's just that I haven't watched a movie for a long time, so I want to ask if there are any recommended movies. You don't watch a lot of movies, so you just want to ask. ask you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while: "The movies that have been released recently are all bad movies. If I want to see them when I go home, I will find them for you. I have a lot of movies in my hoard."
"I'm fine, really fine." Ed repeated for some reason, "CC, if there is a good movie someday, let's go to the cinema together to watch a movie?"
"Okay, I happen to have a movie I want to watch next month. I bought some new clothes by the way. I have no clothes to wear recently." CC paused, "No matter what happens, I will be with you."
"Well." Ed found that his voice was a little deformed. "I'm not talking anymore, I'm still busy. I'll talk about it when I go back."
Then hung up the phone impatiently.
In the afternoon, Ed drove to Shangri-La Barbecue by himself on a whim, and was greeted by the brown-haired boy from last time: "Hello, what would you like?"
"Give me ten sticks of lean meat, but don't put any fat on it. Ten sticks of fat, don't put a little bit of lean meat on it. Another ten sticks of cartilage, don't put any meat on it."
"I'm afraid you're not here to entertain me." A sharp female voice sounded, and the beautiful blond proprietress walked over quickly, then froze, "Dr. Lingos?"
Fifteen minutes later, Ed was eating and drinking without image, and Sera sat across from him.
"Why am I on the moon? I thought this kind of question could be easily guessed by your IQ?" Serra poured herself a beer, "My brother is still the most wanted criminal for crimes against humanity, if I get PLANT It's very troublesome to find it with the people of the Federation, is there any place cleaner than the moon?"
"That's right, I'm too stupid to ask, so let's change the subject." Ed pointed to the brown-haired boy who was idle because there were no guests, "Jedo didn't go to school?"
"No, he wants to make money for his sister to go to school." Sera gave Jeduo a relieved look, "His parents don't know where they went, and they didn't send money home. His sister's living expenses and tuition are all by himself. earned."
"How old is his sister?"
"77 years."
"I'm two years older than Minerva." All Ed's conversion of age is based on Minerva. "Would you like to transfer to Anaheim Junior School? I can help."
"Can he afford the consumption level and tuition fees in the capital?" Sera glanced at Ed silently and waved to Jeduo, who ran up to him, "This guest asks you to raise your sister alone. It's very curious."
"Curious? No need, there are a lot of inspirational stories on the Internet." Jeduo said indifferently, "Besides, I will pay her to go to university, and she will still have to work hard on her own. Of course, I am a brother. I won't just stand by and watch when she's in trouble, haha."
"Don't you hate your parents?" Sera asked in place of Ed, who was hesitant to speak. "Could it be cynical or something?"
"Hate, of course, it's only because of this kind of rubbish that the Federation is so bad." Jeduo's expression was very relaxed, and he couldn't see any bitterness and hatred in it, "But there are also sisters like Sera in the world. Aren't good people? There are good people and bad people, that's how life is."
"What do you think of your NT abilities?" Ed threw out his most curious question.
"It's very convenient, looking for someone or something." Jeduo said, scratching the back of his head embarrassedly, "but sometimes it gets in the way when I want to lie, and I don't really want it."
"NT can do this too..." Ed's mood was a little complicated. "No, NT should be like this."
"Jedo is such a person himself, and has nothing to do with NT." Sera snorted disdainfully, "Are you also influenced by your brother's theory that NT is omnipotent? NT is superior and is born to lead others?"
Ed was silent, he just thought of Tessa for no reason. No matter how twisted or different the road may be, everyone is living very seriously.
"Anyway, I like this life very much." Jeduo pulled up a chair and sat down with Sera's dissatisfied eyes, looking familiar, "Guest, you look so sad, I don't like it. life now?"
"Me? I..." Ed was stunned, and replied erratically, "I like it too, this world."
