"You want to stop Eden?" Todd looked at the three of them with a "are you kidding" expression, "Are you impatient?"
Zhang Xun took a few steps forward and looked at him seriously, "We know that the chances of success are slim, and all this may be within Adam's expectations and control. But if we don't try, all that awaits everyone is only An ending... we're all going to die."
"Hey, don't count us in." Todd frowned, staring at them warily, "Eden allowed us to exist because we didn't cause any major problems. We built this place with great difficulty, cannot… "
"Do you have any evidence for your words?" Anya interrupted suddenly.
Zhang Xun nodded, "I have all the materials and designs of the nano-robots, and I can replicate the nano-robots Adam made. If those robots are injected into the bodies of experimental mice, abnormal behavior can be observed very quickly."
"We don't have the equipment to build you robots here!" Todd couldn't believe his sister was actually thinking of assisting the three lunatics trying to fight God. Such an action, as long as Eden discovers, Rhino Horn Town will be razed to the ground immediately. They don't have any protection systems like Paradise Lost.
Zhang Xun said, "Not here, but Feathered Serpent City has. But if we go to Feathered Serpent City alone, we will soon become their puppets."
"So you want us to be your thugs." Anya's eyes were like icy arrows, as if she wanted to penetrate Zhang Xun's skin to see his thoughts.
Zhang Xun said, "I know it's not good for you. We can understand if you refuse. But... If Eden succeeds, Rhinoceros Town will be disintegrated sooner or later. When most of the people in the world are affected by the collective The influence of consciousness cannot be tolerated by those of us who refuse to assimilate into their heretical existence."
"How do you know they won't tolerate us?"
"Because human beings have never liked to tolerate minorities who are different from them, and when a person is in a group, it is very easy to go to extremes. Look at the hatred and war caused by different religions, races, and doctrines in history. And how much of the Holocaust? We can do that when we're all individuals, and if we don't even have the physical barrier, we just have a huge, heavy consciousness. Do you think we can really be like Are Adam and Eden as sane and neutral as they think they are?"
There was silence.
Zhang Xun further said, “We are not AI. Human collective consciousness will soon go to extremes. Unless everyone is integrated into the collective consciousness at once, at some point in the middle, when enough people become the collective consciousness part of it, and those who remain will become heretics, they will become enemies."
Anya's eyes swept over the several of them, drank the wine in one gulp, and said in a deep voice, "You go out first."
Zhang Xun wanted to say more, but James suddenly touched his arm lightly and said in a low voice, "Don't be in a hurry. Give them time to think about it."
Zhang Xun understood how strange what he said was to the red-haired siblings. It's nearly impossible to get them to fully accept what they say without direct evidence. But time is running out now, and the longer it drags on, the more people in Paradise Lost will be affected. At this time, Adam might have already started the preparations for the next stage of deployment.
He wasn't sure when Adam and Eden would make the decision to destroy him. He doubted that he could live until now, just because the part of Adam who was influenced by humanity still had some nostalgia for him.
Let him go so he doesn't interfere with Adam's plans in Paradise Lost. But would Adam tolerate him if he started causing problems in the outside world
After coming out of the bar, they found that stalkers began to appear near the hut where they were temporarily living.
The three remained silent, pretending not to know. Zhang Xun went back to his room and found that the parts he needed but didn't have had been delivered. He turned his head and glanced at Enoch, who was still following him silently, and said, "Sit down, I will help you replace the distance sensor and temperature sensor."
Enoch sat obediently on the chair and took off his shirt. Zhang Xun stood behind him, watching the skin on his back spread out like butterfly wings, revealing the complex internal structure and the constantly flowing coolant conduits. Zhang Xun picked up the electric screwdriver, replaced it with the most precise screw head, and began to remove the damaged parts.
"I removed your transceiver." Zhang Xun said absentmindedly, but the movements in his hands did not stop.
Enoch sat motionless, without making a sound for a while.
Zhang Xun had become accustomed to the question after question from the increasingly curious robot, and now it suddenly became so quiet, Zhang Xun was not used to it. I just heard so many stories about the "king" in their artificial intelligence, why is there no problem now
"What are you thinking?" Zhang Xun asked.
Enoch was silent for a while before saying, "You didn't mention that your lover is Eden."
"...It's not Eden, it's Adam." Zhang Xun thought of that meeting with the real Eden, and the other party even tried to use Adam's voice to control him, inexplicably felt a little funny, "Adam has been separated from Eden."
"So, you gave a super artificial intelligence human body and instincts. Then made it fall in love with you?"
Zhang Xun's hand paused and his brows furrowed.
Why did the robot say it, it became so... Strange...
"I didn't make it fall in love with me. But you have a special dependence on the administrator that can happen at any time. If his mechanical style was not me but someone else, maybe..."
"You turned it into a man, and yet refused to believe that he had human feelings." Enoch's voice was calm and soft, too standard, but rather cold, "and you still plan to get rid of him."
"..." Zhang Xun put down his tools and raised his head, "Are you blaming me?"
The head of the service robot suddenly turned at a 180-degree angle and looked at him faintly, "I'm just stating my observation. I'm a service robot, and I don't have the ability to blame."
Zhang Xun became annoyed and asked coldly, "Then what do you think I should do? Let him destroy humanity?"
"From what you've described, he didn't intend to destroy human beings, he just helped human beings to rapidly evolve to the next stage through mechanical selection. Why are you unwilling to accept new possibilities?"
Zhang Xun closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a deep sadness in them. He continued to work and whispered, "Because I want to live. I can touch with my hands, I can see with my eyes, I can feel with my skin, and I can think with my mind. I want to be able to hug the person I like and go with me. Seeing unseen landscapes. If I, like everyone else, integrate my consciousness into that collective consciousness. I'm gone. Every 'me' in the world is gone."
Enoch looked at him, as if lost in some kind of contemplation.
… … … … … … … … …
James came out of the room to smoke, but saw a red hair dyed purple under the moonlight swept across the silver ground not far away, walking slowly towards the wilderness.
James threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out, and for some reason, quietly followed.
In the wilderness, the two figures moved slowly at a distance.
Everything is so quiet, there are no clouds in the sky, no light pollution, and the stars are scattered like diamonds in the black universe, merging into a swirling river. The light from hundreds of millions of years ago fell into their eyes through a long distance, with a certain vast and cold romance.
Gradually, a bright flash appeared on the rolling ground ahead. A lake lay among the folds of the earth, rippling by the night wind, and surrounded by a circle of low shrubs. An oasis in the wasteland.
James saw Todd walk to the edge of the lake, then with a very smooth and graceful movement, he took off his shirt and trousers and jumped into the lake.
The moonlight on the water was completely shattered, and the water splashed like pearls. Todd dived into the water for a while and suddenly came out again, with a long string of water droplets from his red hair. The strong muscles on his shoulders appeared and disappeared in the moonlight and water light, and the sound of the uproar seemed to be the only sound between heaven and earth.
James took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit another match, and walked slowly to the shore.
Todd stopped moving, turned his head to face him, but didn't look surprised.
"Why are you following me?" The red-haired man was half-smiling, with a hint of provocation in his blue eyes.
James shrugged. "Curious."
"I wonder if I'm going to do some shady deeds?"
James exhaled a long puff of smoke and squinted at him.
The black-patterned tattoos under Todd's eyes added a bit of wickedness to his handsome face. He swam a few meters toward the shore, his feet touched the bottom of the lake, and he began to step out of the water.
Drops of water rolled down his sun-tanned skin, framing his muscles even more distinctly. He made no secret of it, standing proudly in front of James.
"Are you disappointed?"
James felt the smoke condense in his throat, burning slightly. He looked at Todd, equally unabashed, "Not at all."
"You changed your mind?" Todd asked pointedly, tilting his head slightly.
James said, "Not yet."
Todd rolled his eyes, turned and dived into the water again. He was swimming happily, constantly breaking the water, like a mermaid that quietly floated to the surface at night.
And James sat down on the shore and watched quietly. He found himself inexplicably attracted. As long as he confirms that the other party has done nothing against them, he can give up tracking, but he wants to keep watching, which makes him feel a little strange.
Obviously this man is not the type he always likes...
Todd swam happily and finally decided to go ashore. He picked up his shirt, wiped the water off his body, and put the clothes back one by one. During the whole process, one was watching and the other was wearing, all without dodging or disguising.
The air became a little hot.
"So, you're going to fight against Eden, and you're trying to drag us into the water?" Todd said coldly, strapping on his belt. "I should have killed you all in the desert."
"You still have a chance." James flicked the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up slowly, "kill us all before your sister agrees."
"Do you think I can't?" Todd turned around, regardless of his open front, and strode towards James with a very impressive aura, "Do you think that if I like you, you can do it? Do whatever you want in this town?"
James could smell the water emanating from Todd, and he almost wanted to reach out to touch the long red hair that was still dripping with water.
"I just doubt that without our help this time, your Rhino Horn Town will be able to survive the massacre of the Eden Cult. If not, you will kill us. What will you do next time the Eden Cult comes?"
"Last time we were unprepared!"
"The technology in their hands is much higher than yours, and you don't have any chance." James took a step forward, and the distance between him and Todd became infinitely close, "Are you willing to be like a lamb to be slaughtered, Lying here obediently waiting to be crushed by others?"
The dark brown and dark blue eyes were locked together, as if to devour each other. Something tensed up in the air, and everything seemed to be burning.
Now, James thought, he could kiss those tough, angular lips whenever he wanted to.
But this time Todd turned his head first and sneered, "I'm not a lamb."
