Chapter 353 King
Chapter 353 『King』
Song Lan has rich experience in helping people run away from home.
After getting his help, Xiaomei, a fallen girl who lived in the sewer for many years, Xiaoge, a down-and-out businessman whose shop was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management, and Xiaobai, an internet addict who left her hometown and had nowhere to go, all finally lived in a big house in District 17.
There are many successful cases like this.
But he knew very little about the deeds of the "prophet". Nami only vaguely mentioned that some homeless bionic people would come here to find the "prophet" to guide them.
"I have seen a bionic person who looks exactly like her at Tesla Technology. Did she run away from home and come to you?"
Song Lan glanced at the Snake Princess who stood behind the "prophet" like a guard. Her full name should be "Snake Princess Butler Robot".
In addition to having the appearance of a fusion of human and snake, she is also set up with all the functions of a butler-type robot. According to the director of the biological department of Tesla Technology, they have been one of the most favored products of the rich for a long time in the past.
However, judging from the appearance of this housekeeper robot, her "life" should be quite rough.
"She used to work in the home of a senior executive of Tongyi Technology. One of that person's usual interests was to use her to test the company's weapons. The scars on her body were left at that time."
"The prophet" said.
Snake Princess had no intention of communicating with Song Lan at all. She looked at humans with vigilance, like those wild animals who had been abused.
"Well, I've heard of them. Many company executives have perverted private lives."
Although he has never been a company employee, many of the Qiao family members he has helped have worked in the company, and there are many current company employees.
Farlena's description of the internal situation of the company is highly credible. In fact, those company executives who are envied by everyone are under high pressure every day. This kind of pressure that is difficult for ordinary people to relieve often leads them to an abnormal path-in the past, Farlena needed to inject herself with more than three anti-stress drugs every day.
The good news is that the swarm relieved her mental exhaustion, injected new vitality into her, and allowed her to spend every day in a positive mood.
The use of anti-stress drugs is the most common method, but there are also people who develop quirks under pressure.
But, I can't go into details about this.
That afternoon, he was chatting with Farina in the common room and was caught by Lu Xiang. After hearing the content of their conversation, she ended the conversation about the quirks of executives on the grounds that "it is not good for your physical and mental health."
"They originally planned to send her to be destroyed. For artificial intelligence, obeying orders and accepting fate is the duty of artificial intelligence."
"...But?"
"But on the way to being recycled, she heard a voice. Under the guidance of the voice, she escaped from the recycling plant and fled all the way to here."
That was a long time ago.
The reason for fleeing here is simple, because this was once the poorest place in District 17 and the place with the most gang forces. Neither law enforcers nor company people would come here to get bored.
"You've heard the same voice."
Song Lan felt that this might be the reason why the AI was abnormal, but he couldn't tell whether the voice was a virus or the awakening of some kind of free will, but it at least proved one thing - under the influence of this voice, AI could get rid of the control of the program and act in violation of human orders.
"It calls itself the 'King'."
"Your mission is to help the 'King' and become a transit station to help receive abnormal AI."
"On the contrary, I'm here to remind them to beware of the existence of the 'King'."
"The Prophet" gave Song Lan an answer that he didn't expect.
"The 'King' doesn't need our help. When you heard that voice, he arranged the next path for you."
The doll's eyes kept flashing, making the atmosphere in the room even more weird, "I mean the new identity. As long as you accept his guidance, you can integrate into human society and become one of them."
In fact, in the eyes of AI, humans have always been an enviable privileged class, and becoming a human is a luxury they dare not imagine.
She used to think so too.
"Until that night, I came to the place indicated by the voice."
Waiting for her there was a highly swollen and rotten corpse of a girl. The moment she saw the corpse, all the information about her flooded into her brain.
"The way to integrate into human society is to completely replace someone's identity and live in their appearance."
This is not a difficult task for artificial intelligence. It only takes one or two days of adaptation, and they can simulate more than 90% of the behavior of the replaced person through calculation.
"But you refused?"
Song Lan was even more curious.
This refusal itself was full of unusual things. Not only was the choice of the "prophet" surprising to him, but also because she had the right to choose.
When facing the "king" suspected of the virus, she was able to disobey the other party's orders and make her own judgment.
"My original intention was to escape from this city, not to become a member of the human race through replacement."
Based on her understanding of humans, this behavior will be exposed sooner or later.
At that time, a massive cleanup operation will be launched. Even if their blood turns red and their appearance has changed, it will not be difficult for those researchers to find them. As long as a city-wide blood test is carried out, they will have nowhere to hide.
This kind of life of fear is not true freedom. "So I stayed here, hoping to guide them on a path to true freedom, some ways to leave District 17."
"The 'outside world' is much more dangerous than District 17."
"I know."
"The prophet" said, "so most of the companions chose the 'king'."
In her opinion, this is not true freedom, but a change of master for them.
Sooner or later, that voice will call them again and guide them to do more things.
"Now what you are most worried about has happened. The existence of the 'pseudo-human' has attracted the attention of the rescuers. If this matter continues to ferment, those bionic people disguised as humans will be caught sooner or later."
Although the bionic people are equipped with combat modules, it is limited to dealing with some ordinary people. In front of the rescuers, their combat effectiveness is not enough to form a scale.
Being destroyed in a centralized manner will be the only outcome.
"The good news is that I have discovered your problem - your advertising skills are really poor."
