Chapter 925 Deep Virtual Side Story 2

The clerk opened the president's reply: "This year, the president is participating online as well."

Zhan Lin had her doubts, after all, she hadn't seen Xie Ning for a long time, but both the policies and the rabbits told her that Xie Ning was fine.

Xie Ning would occasionally correspond with her, talking about the situation in the Southern Military Region, but she just felt something was off... Maybe she was being paranoid.

Shaking her head, Zhan Lin picked up her boxing gloves and went to the training ground. She didn't have any special abilities, so she had to become stronger. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to suppress the Northern Military Region, which she had finally managed to obtain completely.

Shen Xiuying and Shen Chen, along with some newly rich and the remaining forces of financial groups, all fear Xie Ning's strength.

Fortunately, the gap between classes in the officialdom is narrowing, and she also needs to cultivate more troops and military leaders who are loyal to Xie Ning, the Federation, and the people.

Halfway there, Zhan Lin suddenly remembered that the rabbit hadn't appeared in front of people for a long time. However, she quickly dismissed her doubts. The rabbit was an artificial intelligence and also had to monitor two other artificial intelligences. Since Xie Ning didn't go out, it naturally stayed by Xie Ning's side.

But in reality, the rabbit wasn't with "Xie Ning".

Instead, he stayed in a seaside villa in Xie Ning, where he controlled the administration of the entire Federation.

The villa was empty, without a single person in sight, but today, someone came.

The rabbit looked at the blond boy standing outside the villa. The boy was holding a glass jar full of colorful butterflies. His golden hair fluttered in the breeze. His face was expressionless, quiet and silent, just like his true nature.

"Lance."

The rabbit's voice rang out. It didn't understand why Lance was here, since he always stayed in the laboratory, either assembling experiments or staring blankly at the glass jars.

Lance waited quietly for a while, then placed a small butterfly-shaped object on the smart panel by the door, and the door opened shortly afterward.

Rabbit: ...Actually, it's not that it can't stop it, it just doesn't want to.

The blond boy carried the glass jar into the villa. He had been here before, so it was familiar to him. Lance stood outside Shening's door, and the rabbit had already flown over.

"You can't go in." This is Xie Ning's room.

Then Lance squatted down by the door, his gaze sweeping across the deep blue sea through the floor-to-ceiling window opposite the door.

The rabbit circled Lance's head a few times, as if it had guessed something, "She's gone."

Lance's long eyelashes trembled, his fingertips holding the glass jar turned white, and tears fell one after another onto the floor. Rabbit opened the French windows, and the salty sea breeze lifted the warm-colored curtains, brushing against the boy's hair.

Gazing at the distant waves rolling under the gloomy sky, the rabbit recalled the scene on Sky Island.

The moment it saw Xie Ning appear, it immediately flew over, but the instant it met Xie Ning's gaze, it felt as if there was something wrong with its chip; it was very hot.

"You are not her."

It was a cold, emotionless mechanical voice, yet it revealed its inner fear, panic, and confusion. Can artificial intelligence have emotions?

The data tells it no.

But Xie Ning, who created it, told it that if it felt something, it shouldn't reject it.

The woman dressed in a white military uniform stopped in her tracks, a perfect smile on her face, every movement just like the real Xie Ning.

She doesn't have Xie Ning's memories, but she has witnessed everything Xie Ning experienced here. With her powerful ability to imitate, she is perfect, another... perfect "Xie Ning".

“You are very smart,” Xie Ning said, “but… are you sad? This doesn’t align with the underlying logic of artificial intelligence.”

As they were talking, a huge tentacle swung down. It was 208. It noticed something was wrong with "Xie Ning" even before the rabbit did, because the reassuring aura it had been given was gone.

It just stood there stunned for longer than the rabbit, and then its inner rage grew exponentially.

Xie Ning dodged very quickly; even though 208 was now one of the top alien creatures, he couldn't touch her at all.

"Very perceptive." As they spoke, the two had already exchanged several blows, but 208 still couldn't touch "Xie Ning." The opponent only dodged and didn't hurt it.
