I don't know how long I have walked this time, but in terms of time, it is probably from night to early morning. As if he had finished some kind of vent, Xu Le sat directly on the cold and wet ground of the underground passage, with his feet hanging on the sewer. Next to him, just like on the battlefield, sitting next to the cockpit door that is several meters high in the air, but unfortunately it is not a deep snow comrade-in-arms, only the sewage is flowing slowly.

I simply determined the orientation. There is a subway intersection a dozen meters above my head, and if I go up to the ground, it is almost out of the eastern suburbs of the capital. Xu Le untied his collar and let the sweat on his neck evaporate faster. , asked: "Actually in the official residence, while listening to their speech, I have been thinking about a question."

"what is the problem?"

"What if those guys in the corridor of the mansion just shot me? What if you can't save me in time? What if I can't save me myself?"

He frowned, the sensor light behind him gradually went out, and the treated sewage under his feet had a faint iron smell.

"What would you do if I didn't save you?"

The Federal Central Computer asked rhetorically in his mind. From the mechanical question and answer in the black dream of the hospital, to later rhetorical questions and even joking, from these details, you can feel the changes of many old things.

"I prepared three escape routes at the time. The lawn outside the window and the direct porch were the worst options. The best option was to blast the ceiling directly above my head, then turn to the living area of the official residence in the back building and break into Mr. President's bedroom. "

At this time, Xu Le still habitually called the man Mr. President, he tilted his head slightly and looked at the water under his feet, and continued: "I won't hurt the lady, and of course I won't hurt Miss Padel, But I think if I was with them, those special forces wouldn't have the guts to fire a thousand guns."

"But you didn't resist."

"Because I confirmed that they didn't want to kill me in the official residence." Xu Le sighed softly, scratched his slightly wet hair, and said, "But Li Zaidao is accurate enough, as expected of the old Li family, with an old man on top. , there is Li Lunzi, who knows very well what kind of power we guys have, and the special shackles he prepared for my hands and feet are indeed not something that can be broken by strength alone."

Then he laughed and said: "After being tied to the alloy frame, I have a button bomb in my mouth. If you really don't care about me, I guess I will still have to fight hard in the end, but the result of the fight should not be the same. would be great."

After a moment of silence, Xu Le blinked and asked, "Going back to the question I was concerned about at the beginning, according to what you said back then, I was the subject of first-order protection, then if you were in the official residence, in the armored vehicle, you It's too late to make a funny way of using the mecha as a bulletproof fortress, you...will you use your big killer?"

He didn't make it clear what he thought was the big killer of the federal central computer, but obviously the old man knew exactly what this sentence meant and replied: "Although the permissions conflict, according to the core program restrictions, I will never Use the big killer you mentioned, and if that happens, I'll probably just watch you die in silence."

"Don't think about it." Xu Le frowned and said seriously, "Don't use it, never use it."

In theory, the federal central computer can kill any federal citizen anytime, anywhere, because it always receives the signal sent by the chip on the back of the human neck, and can naturally invade the biological nerves and even the brain of the human body in reverse. Xu Le's personal experience has already proved this. .

The Federal Central Computer can allow Xu Le's brain to accept countless structural drawings and pictures of cool beauties. It can also input a large amount of information in an instant, directly killing his brain, and there are even more simple ways to end his life.

"According to the Fourth Supplement to the Core Three Laws, I am strictly prohibited from making active contact with the chip of a federal citizen, including the reverse transmission of any information."

The old thing made a supplementary explanation, probably to reassure Xu Le.

"The problem is that you have already contacted me, and you still wanted to contact Uncle."

Xu Le still squinted his eyes, frowned his brows, and said, "The three core laws determine that you can't hurt people, and you can't follow people's orders to hurt people, but I'm really worried that you, who gradually have anthropomorphic intelligence and emotions, Many things have been broken through, will one day really break through the core three laws?"

"No." The old man replied calmly: "Although because of the three laws, I have not been able to directly erase the abnormal situation No. 1 to 71, which is what you call the uncle, but I still insist that the three laws are great True and always necessary truth."

Immediately afterwards, the supercomputer that had been in control of the federal social order for many years suddenly seemed to be out of order, and its voice was obviously low and sad: "The problem now is, because of the core amendments left by the five-member group, I took the initiative with you. Contact, and then... as you said, I've been breaking the charter all the time."

He or she or it appeared in Xu Le's left eye pupil, still wearing the straight butler's uniform that was impossible to get dusty, but his eyebrows and eyes were getting younger and younger, and his gender feeling was getting weaker and weaker. After bowing slightly, he sighed with emotion: "In the past few years, I have done a lot of things that I have never imagined before, and I feel a strong sense of guilt. I don't know if this development continues, the gap between my core program and the permission sequence will be different. , will there be serious logical conflicts?"

In contrast, Xu Le seemed calmer because he had suffered too many emotional and conceptual shocks tonight. He shrugged and said, "Are you crazy now?"

The old man stood up straight and replied seriously, "Not yet."

"That's fine."

"But I seriously violated the charter again tonight, performed many direct physical operations, and activated so many mechas to help you. This thing is terrible..."

"Shut up." Xu Le rubbed his depressed eyebrows, bluntly accused a certain computer of hypocrisy, and said, "You drove a triplane in the empire for half a year, and you enjoyed looting everywhere, why didn't you see any psychology in you? struggle?"

"Because of your hypocrisy, even a mecha refused to give me a mecha. You have to set a topic for me. Well, I can only squat in this ghost place and be a mouse. It's easy to associate, and you certainly won't. Give me the whole ACW, why? Because guns kill people! Fuck!"

In the dark and gloomy underground water channel, Xu Le's voice echoed, and only his own voice could be heard. If anyone saw this scene, they would feel very strange. It seemed that this man hiding in the dark was talking to some ghost. Have a conversation.

In his mind, the federal central computer suddenly asked, "Xu Le, are you going to fight the federal government?"

Xu Le couldn't give an answer. He looked down sadly at the military boots hanging above the sewage, and replied in a hoarse voice, "Just think I'm afraid of death."

"Last year you said that you are not a moralist, and now you admit that you are afraid of death, then as a computer, I cannot understand your logic: why did you just ask me to never use the big killer you said, you clearly know , if I activate the big killer, you will be the most powerful man in this starry sky."

"One, you won't enable it, so it's nonsense. Two, the two of us often quarrel. If one day I quarrel and you get so ashamed and angry, what should you do if you let me die in the bathroom? You may kill me at any time, Living in fear every day is too unhappy.”

The dim light shone on Xu Le's smiling face, then his smile gradually faded, and he said slowly: "Old man, if you can kill one person, then you can kill 1.1 trillion people, if all the federal people die. Now, it's just the two of us, how uncomfortable it is, compared to that situation, I'd rather die and close my eyes."

"It makes sense." The central computer replied, "I will remember your words."

It was not early in the morning, and President Pabble, who had just lay down and could not sleep at all, received the latest information that shocked him. He glanced at his lonely wife on the other side of the bed, frowned slightly, quickly put on his pajamas, and was in the Secret Service. Under the intense protection of the agent, he entered the conference room deep underground by following the specially-designed expressway of the official residence.

The light curtain surrounding the room was only lit two or three pieces, and above it were the military chiefs who were loyal to the government in the major regions of the Federation. President Pabble walked in with a gloomy expression, looked around at the subordinate cabinet members in their seats, and said solemnly: "Start. ."

The latest surveillance video began to play on the light screen. The video included all the stories that happened in the warehouse in the southern suburbs of the capital, and naturally also included the sudden attack on the small square in the business district.

The picture finally freezes on the black mecha that bravely blocked the road collapse like a human warrior.

"It has now been confirmed that the key to the matter is the authority of the Charter Bureau." Li Zaidao looked at Director Cui Judong in front of the round table and asked with a frown, "Can the Charter Bureau lift his authority?"

Cui Judong's expression was very complicated, and there was some kind of weird depression in his pupils. He shook his head and said, "The charter computer is strictly forbidden to perform direct physical operations, but all this tonight has overturned my decades of cognition. So don't ask me, I don't know anything."

The underground meeting room of the official residence was silent for a long time. These big men who held the power of the federal government and had firm will, vaguely seemed to see a ghost floating in the sky of the federal government.

The national security adviser who had just learned the specific information kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and discovered a lot of terrifying truths from these videos. He looked at President Pabble and suggested in a trembling voice: "You must leave the official residence immediately, Enter the base in the belly of Siming Mountain, the base can resist the most powerful main guns of warships... Only there can you be safe."
