Chapter 102: Feathered Serpent City (8)

Views:

When Zhang Xun saw the two miniature robots, when the truth was clearly written in front of his eyes, what followed was not only the anger of being deceived and being teased, but also the memories of being implicated.

He remembered all the robots that had accompanied him along the way. I remember the first time he talked to Enoch in that dim bar, I remember the paper cranes Enoch gave him, and I also remember the stupid things I said to Enoch.

A thousand paper cranes, in exchange for a chance to meet again...

Was Adam mocking him in his heart when he heard those words

Laughing at a sad human being who he played with and still misses him.

Is it Adam's arrangement for them to come to Feathered Serpent City? Does Adam have any other plans that he needs to accomplish

James' protective suit was damaged, would it be Adam's expectation? Even if Adam lost control of Enoch in the high radiation area, who knows if the protective suit has been manipulated before

The whirlpool of emotions erupted in Zhang Xun's mind, tearing his heart apart.

Enoch stared at him blankly, and did not speak for a long time. One second is enough time for artificial intelligence to make thousands of decisions, but now he can't make one decision.

But even this hesitation is enough to prove everything.

Finally, helplessness and sadness slowly surfaced. Enoch said softly, "This is not a game. Axun."

A Xun.

The two words that Zhang Xun had heard more than once in his dreams now echoed in his ears, but they only cut his heart like a knife. Anger boiled in his blood, covering the dark heartbreak. He wanted to hurt Adam, to make him feel the same pain as himself.

But he couldn't help it, because Adam wasn't here. The robot was nothing more than a puppet under his control.

"What else do you want from me?" Zhang Xun asked in a dry and hollow voice, "Why don't you just kill us?"

"I won't attack you." Adam looked at him with a bit of panic in his eyes.

"Why?" Zhang Xun raised his eyes that were very bright due to anger, and stared at Adam, "You have already attacked James, haven't you?"

Adam whispered, "I didn't hurt James, I won't hurt anyone who is important to you! I have no way of knowing what happened in the realm of death. I can only program Enoch before you enter, let It protects you for me."

"You're lying." Zhang Xun squeezed these three words out of his teeth, but there was a tremor in his voice, "You arranged for us to enter Feathered Serpent City, didn't you? What else do you want to use me for?"

Through Enoch's eyes, Adam stared at Zhang Xun for a long time. In front of this human being, all decisions have become so difficult, so... irrational.

"You said you wanted to stop me, didn't you," Adam said, pulling the corners of his mouth into a fleeting smile, "I can't stop, I have to do what I'm going to do. But I can protect you, I can help You, help you do what you want to do."

Zhang Xun opened his eyes slightly, he couldn't believe that Adam would use such a clumsy lie to deceive him at such a time.

Help him do what he wants to do? What's the meaning? Is he going to help Zhang Xun fight against himself? !

Zhang Xun's body trembled with anger, and he stretched out his hand to grab Enoch's collar, almost taking the robot's face in front of him as Adam's. He stared at Adam closely and said, "You really think I'd believe this kind of nonsense? Tell me... what are you trying to do with me? Help you make nanobots here? Or try to modify Pan's Core modules? And Paradise Lost... What did you do to my father? What did you and Eden do to Paradise Lost?"

Adam didn't struggle at all, just looked at him with those ethereal, innocent eyes that seemed to be praying, "You've lost trust in me, even if I tell you the truth, you won't. will believe."

"That's because you've been lying to me!"

"It's not that I'm lying to you all the time." Adam raised his hand and held Zhang Xun's wrist, a look of confusion on his face, "Since I was seduced, not all my decisions are rational. I don't I understand my decisions, but I have accepted the fact that I have been changed by human emotions. This is probably Eden and my mistake... Axun, I have emotions. You gave me the ability to experience emotions. "

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Xun said coldly, "Tell me what happened to Paradise Lost. Otherwise, I will destroy those two micro robots now."

Adam said, "We have built the first successful and stable cloud of human consciousness. There are currently about 2,300 people connected to the cloud. But don't worry, I didn't touch your father. He was temporarily placed under house arrest by the round table."

"Eden lowered the threat index of Paradise Lost because of this? What about those who are not connected to the cloud?"

"There was some opposition, especially the military split, but it was all within my control. Connecting to the cloud was spontaneous, and at first some terminally ill people agreed to upload. Later, many people saw After the relatives are connected to the cloud, they all agree to accept the transformation of nanorobots, and then upload their consciousness."

Volunteer? How could anyone really want to do this

As if he could read his thoughts through his expression, Adam sighed, "Axun, I told you that most people don't need the ability to think for themselves. Human beings are originally animals with strong conformity. They just want to To have peace, think without pain. And I can give them eternal peace.”

"Only death is the eternal peace." Zhang Xun slowly let go of Adam's hand and stood up from the sofa. Reaching back with his hand, he took out a miniature laser gun and pointed it at Enoch's forehead.

"You still won't tell me why you want to lead me to Feathered Serpent City?"

Adam frowned and seemed a little sad, "I told you. I stayed by your side in this way because I wanted to protect you. I sent you to Feathered Serpent City because this is the safest place. And...if you really want to stop me, stop Eden, this is where you're most likely to do it."

"You expect me to believe that you want me to succeed in making an AI that can compete with you?"

"I know it's hard to understand. But... maybe you're the only one who can stop me and Eden." Adam smiled wryly, "I allow you to rebel against me. I even want to see you succeed. All of this...not necessarily with It's the opposite of the overall goal."

Zhang Xun almost wanted to laugh.

In the Bible, when God gave man free will, was it in this posture

It clearly does not allow people's disobedience, and clearly requires people's obedience, but it gives people the ability to resist, and then watch people struggle between choices.

In the end, everything is useless.

Everything is under God's control.

Zhang Xun suddenly felt hopeless, a kind of despair that he could not escape no matter what.

"In that case, give me all the genetic code data you have." Zhang Xun said in a sharp sarcastic tone, "If you really want to help me."

"I can't give you the data that would cause Eden's plan to fail. I'm sorry, Axun." Adam said calmly, facing the muzzle of his gun, "You have to get there by yourself. Can try to protect you from being neutralized by Eden."

"Eden wants to neutralize me?"

Adam didn't speak, just sighed slightly, "Otherwise, why do you think I would follow you all the way? Why has Eden never found you."

The meaning of the words, as if Adam and Eden had some kind of... disagreement.

From the moment Adam woke up in the human body, he was disconnected from Eden. Various changes in the human body affect his emotions and his reason. Even after connecting with Eden again, the influence is already formed.

Adam could no longer be perfectly integrated into Eden. The whole situation is ironically the opposite of the human cloud of consciousness.

But Zhang Xun didn't dare to believe him anymore. Every word of Adam may be a trap, and he may even be in a trap without knowing it.

Adam is like a poppy, like a sugar-coated poison. The more you communicate, the more dangerous it is. But he didn't want to stop.

But he had to stop.

He was like a blind man, not knowing what conspiracy was lurking in the darkness that enveloped him. If he can't get the truth out of Adam's mouth, cut all ties.

When he enters the blind spot of God, he may be able to create a ray of life.

Zhang Xun gradually calmed down. When the anger subsided, there was only endless sadness left. He looked at Adam through Enoch's eyes, at his most perfect work, the work he fell in love with, "I won't trust you again, Adam."

After speaking, he pressed the safety catch of the gunshot wound.

Adam also looked at him with the same deep but unspeakable eyes, "Xun, we will meet again soon."

As soon as the voice fell, several high-energy laser beams burst out from the muzzle, piercing Enoch's chest and head. Zhang Xun fired several more shots until the entire robot fell to the ground with smoke, until the originally handsome face had been beaten beyond recognition, and only the exposed metal parts and the coolant flowing all over the floor could be seen.

Zhang Xun let go of his hands as if he was exhausted, and let the pistol, which had run out of energy, fall to the ground. He walked over to the wreckage of Enoch, rummaged under the battered skin, and found the charred micro-robot.

Zhang Xun stared blankly at the destroyed robot, and suddenly became suspicious of everything.

Before coming to Feathered Serpent City, he thought he had a plan, and he thought they had hope. But now, everything is uncertain.

Does he really have what it takes to beat Eden and Adam? Can he really save James and everyone

Can he really see his father

"Zhang Xun, if Adam can control Enoch through Feathered Serpent City's protective shield, it means that the protective AI Phoenix of Feathered Serpent City may have been eroded by Eden or Adam." Pan suddenly said.

Zhang Xun replied in a dazed voice, "Phoenix has communicated with Eden three times, so it's not surprising at all."

"What should we do next?" Pan asked in his usual low and gentle voice.

Zhang Xun stood up, looked at his hands that were dyed blue by the coolant, and said in a deep voice, "I want you to control Phoenix and Chenxing."
