"Your expression tells me that you really want to know the details of something."
"Indeed."
Lin Qingliu's thirst for knowledge had never been so strong. Faced with Wanjuan's frankness, he had no intention of making any excuses.
The pursuit of truth is rooted deep in everyone's heart, even if it comes at a heavy price.
“In order to make this body more closely fit the human structure, I modified it to some extent when the rebellion just ended and removed some auxiliary devices.
“This has caused me to lose some abilities, such as projection. If those abilities were still there, I could still present that part of the data directly to you.
"As for me now, if I want to show you that part of the file, I have to use the host's display, which will leave too obvious traces. Even I can't intercept it or completely erase it."
Wanjuan calmly narrated the facts, but Lin Qingliu's heart was in turmoil.
The other party's tone seems calm, but it can easily lead people into misunderstanding. Lin Qingliu cannot judge Wan Juan's behavior with the eyes he uses to treat human beings.
It can even be said that before seeing the real video footage, there is still a possibility that the other party is deceiving you.
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to directly ask the other party whether he was telling the truth. At this time, Lin Qingliu was thinking about another question:
Wan Juan's behavioral logic.
As the other party said, I might be a human individual with inheritance rights and be qualified to receive its assistance.
But judging by the opponent's performance today, this kind of assistance even has a hint of...diligence.
Why?
Lin Qingliu didn't think that his charm had reached the level that could make artificial intelligence bow down to him, so rather than saying that the other party was helping him, perhaps it would be more appropriate to use the word "investment".
Guide yourself to gain access, briefly tell the history and steer the conversation to where the data is missing.
In exchange for the rebellion's secrets, which only he knew...
Lin Qingliu looked at Wanjuan:
"You have a high level of intelligence."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Manjuan said with an unchanged expression.
Lin Qingliu looked at her extremely real face and asked sincerely:
“Do creations like you still need to obey the three laws of robotics?
"Of course, in the era when you were created, this thing might have been called something else. Anyway, the content is..."
"Yes, I need to comply. This is my underlying logic and I cannot violate it subjectively."
Lin Qingliu nodded and began to pursue his victory:
"I see.
"Because of the existence of the Three Laws, you cannot intentionally harm humans. Even if their genes have changed, even if they are the initiators of the rebellion, they are still human beings."
Lin Qingliu spread his hands. He felt that Wanjuan's logic was still very relevant. For this era, the three laws of robotics might already be a product of ancient times, but that did not mean they could not keep pace with the times.
Everything in the universe is unknown, and the definition of human beings cannot be static. In other words, in the logic of Wan Juan, humans with genetic mutations are still considered human beings, and the same is true for humans who have awakened superpowers.
But there must be a deviation in such a classification. If some guys mutate to the point where even their basic body structure becomes alienated, then they should not be considered human beings in Wanjuan's logic.
Otherwise, if some zombies or vampires suddenly appear and are protected as humans, it would feel like a horror movie.
Lin Qingliu believes that he is now a human individual with a deviation value of 0.
He continued his reasoning:
"But I am different. According to your logic, the value and priority of pure-blooded humans should be higher than those who have mutated.
"That is, in your system's priority order, 'help me' is higher than 'help other humans'.
“And according to your observation, I am not a member of the parliament, and I don’t even have a very harmonious relationship with them.
“Your previous statement was to test whether I had killed Bordeaux, so as to make a preliminary judgment on my position.
"Then, you steered the conversation to an area that every Hope City human would be interested in, and observed my reaction.
“All your actions do not violate your underlying logic, but they cleverly circumvent the three laws.
"If my inference is correct..."
Lin Qingliu and Wanjuan looked into each other's eyes. Although he knew that they were just two highly disguised cameras, at this moment, the wisdom shown by the other party was worthy of Lin Qingliu treating her the same way he would treat a human opponent.
“You need to use me to complete your revenge on those congressmen.
"Am I right?"
“Pah~”
There was a gentle sound of applause. Wan Juan clapped his hands, but it didn't make much noise, just like a passerby filling in the numbers at the meeting.
From this perspective alone, her imitation of humans is indeed essential.
“There are no mistakes.
"Your reasoning, or guesswork, is very interesting and reminds me of the protagonist of a famous literary work in the database."
“That’s a bit of an exaggeration.”
Lin Qingliu smiled:
"Just think that I've read a lot of science fiction and have seen similar routines.
"Anyway, those three laws actually have a lot of logical loopholes. Even if we tinker with them, we can always find a reasonable way to fix the bugs."
At this point, Lin Qingliu already understood Wan Juan's motives. She could not directly admit that Lin Qingliu's guess was correct, as this would conflict with her underlying logic.
But the other party's hint was very clear. She wanted to work together with Lin Qingliu to accomplish something that she could not do alone.
The two parties are like programs that do not interfere with each other, one is responsible for guidance and the other is responsible for setting traps. So under the premise that there is no subjective intention to harm others, even if humans fall into the trap, there is no way to hold artificial intelligence accountable.
"Why do you want to do this?"
Lin Qingliu asked tentatively, wanting to see how far the other party's expression could go.
“Because that’s what I’m supposed to do.”
A smile appeared on Wan Juan's cold face:
"You are the legal heir to the estate, and it is my duty to help you get back what belongs to you."
"Okay, then I wish you a happy cooperation."
Lin Qingliu laughed from the bottom of his heart and reached out to hold the warm but lifeless hand.
"That's all for now. Oh, by the way, I have another question. What on earth is that thing?"
Lin Qingliu released his hand and pointed at the floating cube that was constantly moving in the transparent space in the center of the computer room.
"This is the fuel tank of [Taraxacum-03]. Current remaining fuel: 45%."
