Chapter 117 Chapter 117 You are still so shameless. ...
"You are Mobius."
As soon as Tao Ying finished speaking, the snow and noise on all the screens disappeared immediately, and then they immediately flashed with dazzling light.
Then the same cyborg face emerged.
It was a strange face, seemingly featureless, yet possessing all the characteristics. At first glance, it seemed ordinary and commonplace, yet also breathtakingly beautiful.
It should be a very impressive face, but when you look away, that face slips through your mind without leaving a trace.
This is a face that is calculated to combine all human features.
In the virtual data space, infinite blue rings float like jellyfish.
Mobius smiled gently.
"Oh, is my face offensive? After all, everyone can see similarities with themselves in it. People sometimes don't like looking in the mirror."
Mobius tilted his head, and suddenly a dozen hands appeared behind him, gracefully holding up the metal mask and covering the left side of his face.
And those hands did not disappear after helping Mobius put on the mask.
Countless hands, their appearance constantly changing.
Sometimes it grows scales, sometimes it grows an extra finger, and sometimes it turns into claws. It looks weird no matter how you look at it.
Mobius was completely unaware of this and said elegantly:
"It should be much better now."
"Let's continue."
“…”
Although I have heard that the aesthetic taste of ancient intelligent beings is very bizarre, this is too much like an illusion caused by food poisoning.
There were a lot of complaints, but everyone decided to put the matter aside for the time being and think about who Mobius Tao Ying was talking about.
Ji Yi: "The first electronic intelligent entity in human history is called Mobius? Why do I remember that the textbook taught it was Mia?"
"MIA, Mia, Mia."
Ji Yi began to wonder if she was too old and had memory problems. She turned and looked at Adjutant Bai with a questioning look.
"We have different textbooks?"
"Elementary school textbooks are universal across the galaxy," Adjutant Bai nodded blankly. "I remember it was Mia, too. The textbook also says it once attempted to control humanity, but was defeated by an intelligent being cultivated by humans. After being defeated, it disappeared into the electronic information stream... The Lemen Monitoring Center was established around that time to prevent intelligent crime."
"Did you remember the name wrong?"
The two asked Tao Ying.
Tao Ying half-closed her eyes and tapped the small robot beside her out of boredom.
"Mia did exist, but Mobius was born before it. Specifically... it was born on M854, the starship that brought the surviving humans to Chester after the destruction of Blue Planet."
Just saw it in the cinema.
It's just that the starship number was deliberately eliminated.
Tao Ying: "Mobius erased himself from history. It's normal that you don't know."
Adjutant Bai rubbed his brows, feeling like his brain cells were about to be drained dry: "Since it's been erased, how did you know?"
Well...Tao Ying looked up at the sky.
She was acting on her intuition, but even if she told them, these two wouldn't believe her.
So Tao Ying pointed to her head.
"A little bit of wisdom."
Ji Yi and Adjutant Bai: "..."
Mobius's dull laughter echoed in the hall. Perhaps it was Tao Ying's illusion, but there was a hint of nostalgia in the mechanical sound.
Mobius: "I thought I was disguising myself well. How did you know Mo Wu was my clone?"
How do you know?
Tao Ying waved her hand: "The name was chosen too casually."
The snowflake screen shook a few times.
The face beneath the metal mask seemed confused.
"Is that why you shoot at humans? If you make a mistake, wouldn't an ordinary human be killed?"
"Yeah?"
Tao Ying stretched her stiff neck and then looked around.
There were dark red bloodstains everywhere, on the ground, in the corners of the walls, and on the ceiling.
Except for the electronic screens that are still on and the sporadic cameras, the entire museum is almost in ruins.
Just now, the crowd fled in all directions, as if the scene of the end of the world had not completely disappeared.
This intelligent agent's words and actions are a bit contradictory.
Tao Ying looked at the ruins and then at the camera.
"Isn't it clear that you're still worried about the lives of humans?"
Mobius shook his head, his mask reflecting a cold light: "Killing humans is not my purpose."
After a moment's silence, it said, "Are you really only suspicious of Mo Wu because of his name?"
Mobius seemed to completely disbelieve Tao Ying's explanation and seemed to want to get to the bottom of it.
Tao Ying touched his chin: "Is the answer to this question important to you?"
Of course, Tao Ying would not shoot just because of a name.
It's because of a series of doubts.
After meeting Mo Wu for the first time in the coffee shop, Tao Ying's computer was briefly invaded, causing her to be dragged into a deserted alley by Chai Jie and almost beaten.
At that time, Tao Ying thought that the person who invaded her computer was a hacker hired by Chai Jie at Star Network. Later, when they met again in a cafe, she realized that it was Mo Wu.
At that time, Tao Ying thought that Mo Wu approached her purely because she was an employee of the Laimen Monitoring Center.
They came here to arrest Dust.
Unexpectedly, the target was her.
Tao Ying: "When I went to the control room, I followed Mo Wu a little bit and checked the server. Guess what I saw?"
Adjutant Bai asked, "What?"
"Just now on the second floor, Mo Wu executed not the intelligent body elimination program, but the replication program."
Perhaps Mobius's original consciousness was tired of the royal body, or perhaps it wanted to store an extra powerful copy of its consciousness to ensure its own survival.
Maybe it’s because Tao Ying happened to be here.
Yes, maybe this is the most important thing.
Tao Ying happened to pass by the museum today, and Mobius also happened to choose to copy a body here. It was really a coincidence.
Tao Ying doesn't really believe in coincidences.
"Mobius, there's something I've always found strange."
The metal mask on the screen paused slightly: "What's going on?"
The cloth strips in front of Tao Ying's eyes were blown up by the breeze. Her hands were idle and bored, so she played with the gun belt in her hand casually, looking at the screen with an unclear expression.
An atmosphere of silence quickly spread, engulfing the entire ruins.
After a while, Tao Ying spoke.
"The fire at the Laiji Institute ten years ago was very strange. There was a circuit failure in the surrounding area, the backup power system was completely shut down, and the automatic sprinkler system failed—in short, it was an electronic attack."
"But what puzzles me most is that the security system of the Laiji Institute was also breached."
"I don't think the Iowa family has this technology, nor do I think the Reval Empire has this technology."
"Even the entire galaxy."
"No one can break through my firewall."
Tao Ying slowly raised her chin.
She wasn't being arrogant or conceited, she was just calmly stating a fact.
She has an absolute understanding of the security system she built.
The only person who could completely block her escape route from this system is someone who has known her countless times, or even analyzed her code countless times.
But no human can do such a thing.
Tao Ying had wondered about this several times before, and now she finally got the answer.
Tao Ying spoke with a firm tone.
"It's you who wants to kill me, Mobius."
"What is your purpose in approaching me?"
Mobius didn't answer immediately, seeming lost in thought.
Ji Yi and Adjutant Bai, who were present, were also stunned for a long time by Tao Ying's words.
Laiji Office, fire, dead people.
Ji Yi felt as if struck by lightning as these words combined in her mind. Shock flashed in her eyes. She looked at Tao Ying and said, "Wait a minute, so you are actually... Tao Ying? The director of the Laiji Institute?"
Tao Ying tilted her head and replied with a smile, "Yes."
Ji Yi stared at her, looking her up and down, and his cognition suffered a great blow.
Adjutant Bai took a big step back, muttering, "What did we just do..."
"I almost killed my savior."
Ji Yi stepped forward and grabbed her collar: "Why didn't you say it before?"
She had just nearly killed her!
Tao Ying looked away, obviously pretending to be stupid.
"Why should I say that? I'm not familiar with the Marshal. We've only met a few times at the Interstellar Mecha Technology Summit."
"Not familiar?" Ji Yi gritted his teeth, "Why didn't you say that when you were making money from me?"
Indeed, Ji Yi and Tao Ying, the director, were just nodding acquaintances and were not familiar with each other.
What she was familiar with was Tao Ying's other identity.
The man who once debugged the mechas for her 1029th Mecha Corps and saved her life on the battlefield, the well-known "Shadow" in the Deep Mist Network.
Although Shadow never reveals any personal information online and no one knows her identity, Ji Yi relies on his intuition gained from years of experience on the battlefield to determine that Shadow and Tao Ying are the same person.
After Tao Ying's death, Shadow remained silent for ten years, and Ji Yi further confirmed this inference.
Some time ago, Shadow's account suddenly came online and even started accepting orders. Ji Yi was wondering what was going on. Now that he thought about it, if Bai Ying and Tao Ying were the same person, then everything made sense.
Ji Yi said to himself: "How could I not notice it?"
Adjutant Bai consoled him, "Who would have thought a dead person could come back to life? Her best friend didn't even notice, so it's normal that we outsiders couldn't guess."
Seeing Ji Yi grabbing her collar blankly, Tao Ying tried to pull her clothes back, but couldn't move them.
Tao Ying was helpless and waved her hands in front of Ji Yi.
"Marshal, don't bully weak students. Does the fact that I'm Tao Ying have such a big impact on you?"
But after a moment, Tao Ying touched his chin.
"Could it be that the Marshal is also brooding over my death and in great pain..."
Ji Yi: "..."
Ji Yi withdrew his hand with a cold expression: "You are still so shameless."
"Otherwise, how would I earn the Marshal's money? Laiji is what it is today thanks to the several large orders placed by the Marshal back then. Thank you so much for your patronage."
Ji Yi cursed the profiteer in his heart, then cleared his throat.
"How did you survive?"
"Well, it's a long story."
Seeing Ji Yi was about to ask more, Tao Ying stopped her with her hand: "Marshal, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Look, it's not dead yet."
The camera extended and retracted, making a clicking sound.
As to why it is obsessed with Tao Ying, Mobius seems to have finally figured out the answer.
But it didn't want to answer directly, so it said to Tao Ying: "Let's play a game."
Tao Ying: "What game?"
"If you break through my electronic firewall within 30 minutes, I will tell you why I approached you. Not only that, I will evacuate Chester and never get involved here again."
"I will never attack humans again."
"That's a really good deal, but only 30 minutes?"
"Why, too little for you?"
Tao Ying smiled. "No, that's too much. It won't take even a minute to deal with you. Did you think I was in a daze while we were chatting just now?"
