Two hours later, Zhang Xun took Adam out of the round table, his back soaked with cold sweat.
His throat seemed to be on fire, and his mouth was dry. In order to convince the ten chiefs to let him continue to tame Adam, he can be said to have racked his brains to explain all the observation images and experimental reports of Adam that he had recorded these days, and even showed them to them. Adam's repaired alloy, trying his best to show how humane this behavior is.
In the end, he was successful. He continues to tame Adam, but at the same time, the Round Table assigns a "Security Advisor" to Adam. Zhang Xun must unconditionally give the security consultant all the permissions of the Lab, to ensure that the other party can enter anywhere in the Lab at any time to inspect Adam's performance, and submit a report every week. Simply put, they stabbed a thorn in Zhang Xun's back.
When Zhang Xun went out, he was angry in his heart. Adam's temporary change of mind made him almost impossible to step down, and at the same time put himself in danger, which made him extremely angry. With a gloomy face, he strode forward without saying a word.
Adam followed obediently and suddenly said, "Are you angry?"
Zhang Xun turned his head and stared at Adam. Because of the guard soldiers who escorted Adam back to Lab behind him, he couldn't say much, he could only whisper, "Go back and talk about it."
"Axun!" James called out from the door.
Zhang Xun restrained his anger and looked at James with his usual peaceful expression, "Jamie, what's the matter?"
Adam looked curiously at the tall, handsome man who approached them quickly. Due to today's review of Adam's assessment meeting, James, who has always liked to wear a leather jacket and mountain boots, has rarely put on a formal military uniform. His tall and fit figure is set off by the sharp tailoring.
James whispered, "Xun, don't worry too much about the security advisor, I have already applied for this position. Even if I am not selected, as long as it is a guard, I will say hello."
Zhang Xun's heart warmed, but he still smiled bitterly at James, "Thank you, but I don't think they will choose anyone you and I hope for. I don't know how long I can be Adam's mechanic."
James stretched out a strong hand and squeezed Zhang Xun's shoulder, and said in a firm tone full of optimism and hope, "Don't be discouraged, you are the best mechanic in Paradise Lost. No one is better than you. Chief We know it in our hearts. It's just that you can't be too... gentle with Adam in front of others."
Zhang Xun understood what James meant. When the original seance plan was just formulated, there was a certain motive for revenge. Their plan was for slaves to torture and control the seance of Eden, treating it like a slave. However, over time, a few mechanics, including Zhang Xun's mentor, did not agree with this approach. They believed that if they wanted to control and use Eden, blind violence and malice would not bring any benefits, but might solidify Eden. Created "male image".
It's a pity that this idea is only popular among a few mechanics after all, and most of them are military civilian researchers and mechanics who still want to enslave Adam. So they learned from Michael's exaggerated exaggeration that Zhang Xun didn't even touch Adam's finger, and he kept Adam pampered in the Lab and lived better than the average person. Of course, it would arouse strong dissatisfaction and demand that the machine be replaced. division.
Adam's act of killing the captive added fuel to the fire.
Zhang Xun nodded and sighed, "I will seriously consider it."
James smiled at him, patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, glanced at Adam with a look that seemed slightly warning, and turned away.
After returning to the Lab, Zhang Xun breathed a sigh of relief after all the escorting soldiers left, let Adam sit down, and untied his collar.
"Who is 'Jammie'?" Adam asked suddenly.
"The head of the first hunting regiment, my good friend. He is also my father's student." Zhang Xun glanced at Adam, slightly surprised that he would be interested in James.
"You seem to have a closer relationship with him than with others." Adam said, his eyes fell on Zhang Xun's shoulder, "He can touch you casually."
Zhang Xun was stunned for a while, and then realized that Adam was probably connected to what he had said to him during the bombing, and he couldn't help laughing and laughing, "A pat on the shoulder is a polite touch, and it's okay between friends. It's just me. You don't have many good friends, so you don't see many people getting along in a friendly way."
"Can I grab your shoulder as well?" Adam asked.
"No." Zhang Xun refused succinctly, and signaled to the guard that he could go on.
Adam reluctantly asked, "Then how can I touch you?"
The surrounding escort soldiers looked sideways.
"Adam, by now you should know how strange your question is..." Zhang Xun gave him a warning glance.
Adam obediently shut his mouth.
After returning to the Lab, the guards left. Zhang Xun took Adam back to his office, ordered the latter to sit down, suddenly grabbed Adam's chin, and forced Adam to raise his head and look up into his eyes with a somewhat unfamiliar and clumsy gesture intended to express rudeness and authority, "Why at the round table? Do not listen to my words?"
Zhang Xun's strength was actually very light, probably because he was not used to using "violence" and was a little cautious. With Adam's physique, he could easily break free. But Adam obediently put his chin between Zhang Xun's fingers, like an obedient dog, and replied, "Because they are questioning your ability. If I don't tell the truth, they will replace you."
"Do you know that disobedience is a taboo for artificial intelligence! They are likely to neutralize you directly!" Zhang Xun's brows were tightly wrinkled, and his face was serious and angry, "The round table will also suspect that I lied to the chief, Not only will you hurt yourself, but you will also hurt me."
"I just think it's better for us in the long run to let them know that I have human compassion."
"We? What us? Don't think that I've been more lenient with you these days, so you can forget your identity. Before, I only allowed you to be a little presumptuous because I just saw that you had just been seduced and were not used to your body. Behavior." Zhang Xun lowered his eyes, actually feeling a bit cold and authoritative, "I am your mechanic and your master. You can't disobey and question my orders!"
Adam's gray-blue eyes were wide open, reflecting Zhang Xun's stern face, which made him look a little pitiful.
But Zhang Xun did not soften his heart this time. He understood now that he had to control Adam in order to keep Adam.
"I'm sorry." Adam lowered his eyes, "I understand, I won't do it again in the future."
Zhang Xun released Adam's jaw, took a half step back, and exhaled a long breath. He looked down at Adam, the "human being" who contained endless possibilities beyond human beings, and felt more and more small and uncertain about himself.
Can he really control Adam
He has left a back door for himself. Before the seance, he had a chip implanted in his wrist, which kept transmitting information to a small part near Adam's brain stem. If one day Adam escapes, he can destroy the chip at any time as long as he is still within fifty kilometers. At that time, Adam's head will explode, and his core cognitive module will be completely destroyed by the high temperature in an instant.
He didn't tell Adam. Because before, he also unknowingly wanted to maintain an illusion of equality. Adam's dependence on him led him to a dangerous sympathy. But obviously, this kind of sympathy affected his judgment, which caused this crisis.
"From tomorrow, all mechanics and researchers will return to the Lab to resume work. So, I'm going to set some rules for you." As Zhang Xun spoke, Jin Jin walked over quietly, jumped into Adam's arms, and meekly He rubbed Adam's chin with his head, raised his metal stitched cat face and looked at Zhang Xun with a meow. Zhang Xun clicked his tongue and continued, "First, you can't leave your room without my permission. If you want to leave, you need to ask me for instructions through Pan. Second, if you want to leave the room, you must wear The collar must be within a visible range of ten meters around me, otherwise the collar will automatically discharge. Third, if any employee other than me speaks to you or asks you a question, you must ask me for directions before answering .Unless the person asking you is a congressman. Fourth, do not make threatening actions against anyone in Paradise Lost under any circumstances, the collar around your neck will detect your body temperature, heartbeat, and sweat rate above a certain level of excitement Will trigger discharge. Is there anything I don't understand?"
Adam replied obediently, "No."
"Very good. Now, go back to your room. I still have some reports to write." Zhang Xun rubbed between his eyes wearily and waved his hand casually.
Adam stood up holding the alloy, took a few steps towards the door of Zhang Xun's office, and then turned around and said, "Xun, thank you for protecting me today."
Adam had never used the word "A Xun" to address him before, which made Zhang Xun confused for a moment. Usually only James would call him that.
Did you just learn from James
"I am your mechanic, and it is my responsibility to protect you." Zhang Xun deliberately said in a cold voice.
After the door was closed, Zhang Xun looked at the monitor that detected Adam's movement constantly popping out on the screen. He watched Adam walk steadily back to his room, his movements smooth, supple and impeccable, but the movements were too standard and perfect, and even the distance between each step was equal.
It's just that a little bit of life is too standard, and another chapter Xun often has a subtle sense of strangeness.
The more submissive Adam was, the more restless he became.
