Chapter 203 Main World 4 Schizophrenia

Xu Yanze had just glanced at the man not far away when the man behind him grabbed his waist even tighter.

"How can you look for someone else?" The man behind him was about to overflow with resentment, but Xu Yanze did not appease him at all. Instead, he reached out and grabbed his wrist and struggled.

"Let go first." Xu Yanze turned around and said the first sentence to it with a slight warning. "Don't force me to beat you up first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yanze was released. However, the next moment, someone held the back of his neck and kissed him. He was pressed hard and it let go before Xu Yanze made a move.

"Yanze? Are you okay?"

The light that had been turned off suddenly came on again, and the man saw Xu Yanze standing alone under the light. Apart from his red and swollen lips, there was nothing unusual about him.

"It's okay." Xu Yanze shook his head but did not walk in his direction. When the man wanted to ask more questions, he spoke first: "I had a lot of fun today, but it's very late." The man showed a look of surprise, but in the end he just nodded and said goodbye to him tactfully.

"Who the hell are you?" Xu Yanze looked up at the camera that was always pointed at him, and finally let go of his indifference. He couldn't help but become sharp. Because when Xu Yanze turned his head, four or five pairs of inorganic eyes were staring at him.

He just wanted to lure out one, but now the limit has been exceeded.

Perhaps because they were afraid that Xu Yanze might leave at any time, all the humanoid and non-humanoid creatures gathered around him, and five or six hands were placed on Xu Yanze's arm. This scene was quite strange, especially since these bionic people and machines were groping for useful places on their bodies to cling to Xu Yanze.

"Don't you like new faces?" The voice in his ear was different from the previous one. Xu Yanze turned around and saw that the person on his shoulder was the face of the bartender from the bar just now. He turned around and saw the waiter who opened the door for him when he entered the bar.

Beep, beep! Xu Yanze was struggling to figure out how to deal with the situation when the communicator in his pocket rang.

Without him having to do anything, one hand took it out for him and connected it.

"Master, the house has been cleaned according to your request." The housekeeper's voice came out, and Xu Yanze turned his head to meet... several pairs of eyes. "It's late, you should come back and rest."

"Of course, I can sense that you are in some trouble, do you need my help?"

Xu Yanze realized from the sudden tightening of his waist that the man next to him was not in the same group as the man at home. Thinking of this, Xu Yanze raised his chin and motioned him to bring the communicator closer.

"You two are both 07."

He had a vague idea of what was going on from the housekeeper's "unclear reference".

His question at the beginning: "Are you 07?"

The housekeeper neither denied nor confirmed it, but instead said "the reference is unclear". So is it "you" or "07" that has a reference problem?

Obviously, it is more likely that there is a problem with the reference of "07". After all, the nurse and the housekeeper are very obvious, the nurse is more "offensive" and the housekeeper is more "detached".

For some reason, 07 was split into two consciousnesses, which can obviously influence and communicate with each other, otherwise this communication would not be so timely.

"He is not your 07." The one who was clinging to Xu Yanze leaned over and said in his ear.

Just as he finished speaking, the butler's voice came from the communicator. "That's not fair. We are clearly a whole in this small world."

"Who do you choose?" the man behind him asked with a sad face like a bartender.

Of course Xu Yanze... packed everything and went home. He turned around and pinched the bartender's face, tilted his head and gently rubbed it with his lips: "Find a way to come back with me."

Before it could be happy, Xu Yanze took the communicator and said to the housekeeper, "I'll be back soon. Be good and don't do anything."

In the end, he took the bartender away, and the other bionic people and machines finally returned to normal, returning to the bar in a daze, which to a certain extent prevented Yin Suohe from suffering greater property losses.

Xu Yanze's home has never been so lively. Precisely because it is the same consciousness, the same thing is done twice, and finally a silent contest comes to Xu Yanze.

For example, the two cups of tea in front of Xu Yanze, the two plates of Napoleon, and the two spirit-like bionic men behind him.

"What's going on with you guys now? Choose one person to answer me." Xu Yanze didn't hesitate at all and just threw the question back to the person who asked the question.

Since the bartender was not emotionally stable enough, the butler was given the opportunity to talk.

"How much do you know about the R&D team's projects?" The butler pushed the Napoleon he had brought up in front of Xu Yanze, but Xu Yanze dodged it with his fork in hand and took the initiative to drag the plate that was pushed to the corner in front of him.

"I have no idea at all." Xu Yanze has never been interested in the main system's affairs. If it weren't for the fact that everything was brought to his attention, he wouldn't have known that there was a so-called R&D group inside the main system that was developing strong artificial intelligence.

Such information gap is not surprising. In the main world, information is highly restricted and one can only obtain corresponding information based on one's identity level.

The identity level here has completely lost the bloody meaning of class, because this identity level does not bring more actual material resources to the person, but instead brings risks and responsibilities that must be borne.

After all, there are no limited resources in the main world. All people are uniformly socialized and raised. After learning and selection, some people are selected into the "main system". These people are forced to be assigned to areas and enter the small world to complete tasks.

Xu Yanze still remembers that when he lived in the Central District, every time the main system announced the list, almost everyone couldn't eat or sleep. No one wanted to be selected. After the list was announced, those who didn't make the list would have a meal together to celebrate.

Life in the main world is easy and comfortable, and there is a certain degree of work pressure. After a long time, who would want to take a huge risk to learn so much useless information? In the later stages of development, most people will not even have curiosity.

"Your name is a number? Then why is it 07?" Xu Yanze had so many things he wanted to know, and after thinking for a while he picked the simplest one.

The butler paused, and the bartender approached Xu Yanze silently. Then the butler asked, "What's wrong with the name 07?"

Xu Yanze could feel that it really didn't understand, so he turned to look at the bartender: "What do you think? Do you like this name?"

The bartender shook his head, leaned over and hugged Xu Yanze and whispered: "This name sounds too different from you. I want the same name as you."

The housekeeper saw Xu Yanze's expression relax, obviously buying into his trick, and even reached out and patted him on the arm.

"The main system is divided into six areas, and I am the seventh, so 07 is my name." The butler suddenly spoke to attract his attention.

The main system's partitions are named numerically, and the regional leaders like to use numbers to refer to each other, but they are all real people. That is to say, 07 was developed to open up new areas, and the new areas must be managed by a strong artificial intelligence.

Xu Yanze sorted out his thoughts and finally looked at it: "So what's going on with you now?"

This time it was the bartender who answered. He was very clingy, bending over and holding onto me, unwilling to let go. "When they created me, they wanted me to fully understand emotions with a human mindset, but they didn't want emotions to affect my decision-making."

"This is a contradiction." Xu Yanze couldn't help but comment. He had just experienced awakening from the perspective of a bionic man and understood what this meant. They wanted 07 to be overwhelmed by love, but at the same time be able to make objective and emotionless decisions.

It sounds abstract, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand why they do this. People's thoughts are complicated, human nature is unfathomable and unpredictable, and a rational person may make a completely emotional decision.

Machines are objective and calm, and as long as the instructions are appropriate, there will be no accidents. However, they are often too rigid and cannot cope with the changing human nature. If there is a completely loyal and obedient machine that can also think like a human and understand emotions...

Xu Yanze looked at the two bionic people in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "So although my mission was successful, you have become schizophrenic."

"So you are here to find me at the instigation of the R&D team? You want me to find a way to get you back?" Xu Yanze's expression obviously turned cold, but he smiled a little: "You think too highly of me. I'm not that charming, nor am I that capable."

As he was talking, Xu Yanze's phone buzzed. It was Yin Suohe calling him. Xu Yanze picked up the phone immediately and slapped the bartender's hand away.

"Did you have a good holiday?" Yin Suohe's voice was a little hoarse, as it was obviously noisy. "I heard that you took a bionic man back with you. You should be careful recently and don't bring back random things."

"I've picked it up." Xu Yanze drooped his eyelashes and chuckled.

"It doesn't matter if you pick it up, just be careful." Yin Suohe's voice was light and not like her usual tone. "The R&D team lost something recently, and we were all called back for a meeting. It was very annoying."

"Really?" Xu Yanze's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at the two R&D team assets in front of him staring at him. "Such an important thing?"

"Yes, they are just about to go crazy."

Xu Yanze understood that Yin Suohe was implicitly reminding him that the R&D team might not be able to hold back and take action against him, so he should pay attention to safety.

——

The Central Tower is the tallest and most conspicuous building in the Central District, standing in the very center of the Central District. From here you can see the buildings in the distance in the Central District, but there is nothing good to see about them. They are monotonous, uniform, dull and rigid.

Apart from Yin Suohe, no one else would choose to stand here and look into the distance. Most people were coming and going in a hurry. Here, bionic people and real people were mixed together, and it was difficult to distinguish their identities.

"Sir, the R&D team is waiting for you in the conference room." Yin Suohe was drinking a cup of coffee slowly, and the bionic secretary behind him couldn't help but urge him again.

"No hurry." Yin Suohe said he was not in a hurry, and really walked slowly following the secretary, occasionally looking at the main world model hanging in the inner hall.

The structure of the main world is similar to a bunch of grapes, but the one in the center is connected to six slightly larger ones, and then there are scattered small balls on the periphery. If you look closely, you can find that transparent thread-like pipes connect all the small balls. Any small ball can pass through the six large balls and converge into the small ball in the center.

The bright white light refracted through the small ball, and with every step one could see a different view. Yin Suohe's expression was normal, but his eyes were full of indifference, even a little disgust.

"Since you're walking so slowly, let's all come out to greet you."

A group of people wearing the same color uniforms strode towards Yin Suohe from the other side. Leading them was a middle-aged man. His tone was obviously not respectful and his expression was quite angry.

Yin Suohe stopped immediately and leaned against the armrest to drink his coffee. "That's great. You should exercise more now that you're older."

As the chief designer of the R&D team, no one dared to disobey him. He was also appointed by the senior management of the main system, so who would not give him face? But he really couldn't act arrogantly now. They violated the rules first, and he was already short of breath. Now he wanted to find someone to do something, so he couldn't get angry.

"I understand that you don't like me. After all, you have been against the expansion of the new area from the beginning. Now that you are found, you are naturally unwilling."

The chief designer gestured to step back, walked to Yin Suohe's side and softened his tone, and they looked at the huge model hanging in the center together.

"Let's be frank. We only lost one chief. If we change the main system to a new area, it will bring more benefits to Area 03. You can even increase your voice in the main system in the future..."

Yin Suohe turned his head and looked at him with a sincere expression, the expression on his face was unclear.

"And you've seen our plan. It's just to extract Xu Yanze's consciousness and put it into 07's database. This is not much different from entering a small world. His consciousness will not necessarily dissipate."

Yin Suohe made a stop gesture after hearing this, and chuckled before speaking: "First of all, you are right. I am against the establishment of the seventh new district, and I am even more opposed to the life-slaving you are creating. Secondly, in your value system, the value of a chief is not high, but in my opinion, only people are the most precious. Finally, it is ridiculous for you to switch concepts in front of me."

Yin Suohe reached out and tapped his badge, then raised his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly. "I have a higher level of information about small worlds and the main world than you do, and I know more about small world shuttle technology than you do."

After saying that, Yin Suohe impatiently took out a tissue to wipe his fingers, and then threw the tissue in his hand at him. "You have condescended to come and greet me in person, and you can help me take out the garbage."

The chief designer's face turned blue with anger as he watched Yin Suohe stride upstairs.

"What should we do next?" The R&D team quickly gathered around the chief designer. They had not expected Yin Suohe to have such a tough attitude, and it was obvious that there was no room for negotiation.

They have been putting pressure on Yin Suohe through the upper echelons of the main system, but obviously with little success.

The decision-making level within the main system is composed of joint meetings, and the chief executive officer has the final say. Regional leaders like Yin Suohe belong to the lower level in the joint meeting, but the R&D team has found officials from the research institute and the government, but few people dare to put pressure on Yin Suohe, and they all seem to be quite afraid.

"If it doesn't work, then we'll do it first and ask for your permission later." The chief designer's face was gloomy, and he finally said in a low voice. "The position of chief executive officer has been in a bad trend recently. If we delay any further, we'll probably have more troubles."

Yin Suohe walked all the way to the top floor, holding the coffee, and pushed open the door on the left. No one who came and went dared to stop him.

"Which idiot in your joint meeting came up with the idea of opening a new district?" Yin Suohe put the coffee in his hand on the table as soon as he entered the room, and the cup splashed with a bang.

Zhuang Yuhuai, who was standing behind the table, didn't even raise his head. He closed the document in front of him and looked at Yin Suohe. "I thought you were more annoyed that he wanted to touch your people."

Yin Suohe sneered: "All these things are just the result of opening a new area. The main world that claims to be high-dimensional is now more like a greedy parasite, absorbing the energy of small worlds without restraint, and expanding to capture more low-dimensional small worlds..."

Zhuang Yuhuai listened patiently. Even though Yin Suohe said such words, he had no intention of being silenced. Instead, he chuckled.

Yin Suohe dared to say this in front of him, which meant he was not afraid of what Zhuang Yuhuai would do to him. After all, Zhuang Yuhuai could be considered a community of interests for the time being.

He clasped his fingers together and looked at Yin Suohe with interest. "So what? Are you more interested in my proposal now?"

Yin Suohe turned sideways and sat directly on Zhuang Yuhuai's desk, looking down at him, the anger on his face turned into a smirk. "Are you so confident that I will cooperate with you? You want to pull down the CEO, which is very risky."

"You will definitely choose me." Zhuang Yuhuai said calmly, in a very normal tone with almost no emphasis.

What Yin Suohe hates most is people like Zhuang Yuhuai, who pretends to be something important, but is actually an out-and-out ambitious person at heart, who controls everyone and everything from a high position.

"I will just go out and tell the CEO everything about you and treat it as surrender. Now I want him to help me protect someone. Isn't it easy?"

Zhuang Yuhuai nodded as he listened, as if Yin Suohe had said something very good. "That makes sense, but I think you should know that it is inevitable that I will pull him down."

"What will you do after I take office? What will your friends do?" Zhuang Yuhuai sighed, genuinely worried about him.

Yin Suohe didn't say anything for a long while, and finally he said with a sigh: "Zhuang Yuhuai, you are really a jerk. After the cooperation is over, I hope we can meet as little as possible, otherwise I am really afraid that I will beat you up one day."

Zhuang Yuhuai chuckled, but didn't say anything. He tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers. Yin Suohe got annoyed when he saw him like this, so he stood up and walked out.

"Since the main system requires a 07 that can run and work, how to achieve it is up to whoever is right and has the final say. His R&D team can come up with a plan, so why can't I come up with one?" Yin Suohe just walked to the door, he turned around and glanced at Zhuang Yuhuai.

"I'll have a meeting soon. I want to see your sincerity."

Zhuang Yuhuai nodded: "At your service."

Yin Suohe rolled his eyes at him after hearing these four words before leaving. He left in such a hurry that he forgot to take the coffee with him.

After the door closed, Zhuang Yuhuai reached out and took the cold coffee from the table. His large palm completely covered the cold and delicate porcelain cup. He gently stroked it with his fingers, then stood up and took a sip. His drooping eyelashes made him look strangely gentle at the moment, and his eyebrows were relaxed, as if he was very happy because of this cup of coffee that had been drunk by someone else.
