Chapter 430: Hypnosis (4000)
Liu's mother held a goose yellow rubber hairband in her mouth and gently helped Liu Feifei tie her hair into a bun again.
"Okay, Cici, time's almost up, you go in by yourself, mom won't go."
Liu's mother carefully tidied up the few strands of hair on her daughter's forehead.
Liu Feifei nodded obediently.
Mother Liu hesitated to speak, but finally said, "You didn't lie to me just now, did you? Besides what you said, Mr. Xiao Fang agreed to help you manage resources without making any other requests?"
"What's AI training? You don't understand it. I always feel it's unreliable..."
Mother Liu kept on rambling, then suddenly frowned, as if she had thought of something. She stared at Liu Feifei, "You didn't agree to give him your personal image so he could make that robot, did you? I'm telling you, anything is fine, but this is absolutely not..."
Mother Liu felt uneasy when she thought that such a beautiful girl was actually a robot.
His daughter is so popular. If he really uses his daughter's image to make a robot, he can imagine what it will be used for.
If they really want to sell their personal image, they can't just sell it for this little benefit. They have to at least give them some protection.
"What are you talking about, Mom?" Liu Feifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's really just about cooperating on some AI work. They said something about everyone's thinking logic being different and needing more data. I didn't understand much of it, but it shouldn't be fake."
"Look, we're all here now, so he can do whatever he wants. He shouldn't have to lie to us, right? Mom, if you're worried, why don't you come with me?"
Liu Feifei is an actress after all, her eyes widened as she looked at her mother seriously.
Thinking of the embarrassment just now, Mother Liu's face looked a little unnatural: "Forget it, forget it, you should go by yourself. Be careful. Although Mr. Xiao Fang is young, he is in that circle after all."
"I know, Mom. Time's almost up. I'm going to go over first. If you can't stay in the car, get some sleep. It should be over in five or six hours at most."
Liu Feifei got out of the RV, walked to the townhouse door and knocked.
——
"Ms. Liu, this is the black tea you asked for." No. 12, who had returned to normal, placed a cup of steaming black tea in front of Liu Feifei.
"Ah, thank you, are you... really a robot?" Liu Feifei bowed, holding the teacup in both hands, secretly looking at Android No. 12 with long straight black hair.
With Fang Yu not around and the matter resolved, Liu Feifei relaxed immediately and quickly became curious about No. 12 again.
The more Liu Feifei looked at it, the more curious she became. This robot was really too realistic.
Not to mention anything else, just the skin, you can even see the sweat hairs on the face, how is it made?
Moreover, this time, the expression on No. 12's face seemed much more lively and more human-like.
No. 12 smiled Tifa's signature smile: "Yes, according to the common human point of view, I am indeed a robot."
"However, it might not be what you think. To be more precise, I am a biological humanoid machine driven by artificial intelligence. In other words, when my creator created me, in addition to electronic machinery, he also applied some biotechnology."
“Amazing!”
Liu Feifei looked as if she didn't understand what I was saying but was deeply shocked. "Then can you shoot lasers out of your eyes like in the movies?"
Number 12 tilted his head, a thoughtful expression on his face. "I don't have a weapon system installed. This kind of laser effect is only seen in movies right now! Besides, laser weapons can't be made this small yet."
There are also modal particles!
Even though it was the second time she saw it, Liu Feifei was still very curious.
Liu Feifei stared at No. 12's face, which looked very similar to Tifa, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Can I touch your face?"
No. 12 paused for a second or two before revealing an apologetic expression. "Sorry, the head sensor is still being debugged. No one except the developers can touch it for the time being. So, I'm very sorry, Miss Liu."
"No, no, no, I was too presumptuous." Liu Feifei waved her hands quickly.
Immediately, Liu Feifei suddenly felt something strange. The other party was obviously a program-driven robot, so why was she more polite to it than to humans?
"I just think your skin is so real. Whether it's the texture or the texture, I really can't feel any difference from ours."
Liu Feifei held the black tea in both hands, took a sip, and calmed herself down.
A faint smile appeared on No. 12's Tifa-like face. "Thank you very much for the compliment. It's a great compliment to me."
After chatting with No. 12 for a few more sentences, Liu Feifei gradually discovered that the robot in front of her could almost completely understand what she said and give corresponding feedback, and its logic was no worse than that of humans.
No, in fact, her logic is stronger than that of most humans. It’s just that sometimes she can’t seem to fully understand the concise expressions I use to save words, and occasionally I need to repeat myself to clarify.
Even so, it's still a bit too strong.
If this robot really comes to market, will many people stop looking for boyfriends or girlfriends?
It should sell for a lot of money, right?
Oh right, the time has come, and I don’t know how much longer I have to wait...
Anyone who has worked as the second party knows that setting a time with the first party does not mean that the first party will actually meet you at that time. It is common to schedule a meeting at 2 p.m. but end up making you wait until 4 p.m.
Except for a handful of people in this world, everyone can find the party A that they have to wait for.
"...Actually, the varieties of Anglo-Chinese black tea were all imported from Bharat and Sri Lanka. I heard they were first brought over from the Great Zhou..."
Liu Feifei was listening attentively to the black tea knowledge that No. 12 was sharing with her, when she saw No. 12 pause, as if thinking about something.
Broken again?
Liu Feifei just stretched out her hand and waved it in front of No. 12's eyes when she heard No. 12 speaking again.
"Excuse me, Miss Liu, the master just told me that he is done with his work. You can go over now."
When Liu Feifei heard this, she couldn't help but let out a cry of "Ah".
I didn’t expect that Mr. Xiao Fang was so punctual.
Liu Feifei felt a little nervous again. She stood up and followed No. 12 back to Fang Yu's studio.
There is now a single stretcher in the studio.
Liu Feifei's heart was beating fast. Was he supposed to lie down on this? I didn't see any equipment nearby to detect brain waves.
"Sorry, Miss Ning Yu, I've kept you waiting." Fang Yu pointed to a chair in the studio, "Please sit anywhere."
Liu Feifei pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to be so polite. You can call me Liu Feifei, Ning Yu, Xiaoyu, or Feifei."
Light rain?
Isn’t it raining heavily?
Liu Feifei found a round stool and sat down, and Fang Yu also picked up a round stool and sat opposite Liu Feifei.
"Okay, Ning Yu, today is the first experiment. I hypnotized Liu Feifei that day, but today I want to hypnotize you. Is that okay?"
When Liu Feifei heard Fang Yu say this, an expression of nervousness and struggle appeared on her face.
In Fang Yu's eyes, Liu Feifei's two spirits seemed to be communicating something intensely.
After a while, Liu Feifei's expression gradually became firm: "No problem, Mr. Xiao Fang."
Fang Yu nodded. "Then let me tell you about today's experimental plan. At this stage, Liu Feifei won't be able to sense your presence, and you won't be able to sense her or the outside world. Later, I'll hypnotize you all again. Through these methods, I'll detect changes in your brain waves and the reactions of your brain's neural network. Do you understand?"
Liu Feifei nodded silently.
Fang Yu put a few wireless electrode patches on Liu Feifei's head and smiled: "Don't be nervous, there is no danger. You can think of it as meditation or taking a nap."
This EEG brain wave detection system was obtained from Musk's brain-computer interface company. Musk's team made some modifications to it, making the electrode patch wireless so that the tester can walk around with the patch on without being restricted by wires.
In fact, this thing is of no use to Fang Yu, it is just a cover.
EEG detection can record the brain's electrical activity, but its resolution is not enough to detect detailed neural network activity. Changes in neural networks need to be observed through techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging or near-infrared spectroscopy, and these devices are usually large and complex, which is simply impossible to place in a private studio.
Fang Yu pulled the stool and held out his hand: "Just like last time, I'll pull her out first."
Liu Feifei cried out and waved her hands: "No, no, Mr. Xiao Fang, she can come out by herself."
After saying that, Liu Feifei lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, some changes had occurred.
The change wasn't sudden, but rather spread silently like ripples on the water. Her eyes were no longer earnestly "pure," but instead held a hazy softness and aloofness, like the surface of a lake shrouded in mist—clear yet elusive.
Her sitting posture didn't change, and was even more reserved than before. Her knees were gently pressed together, her hands resting naturally on them. She seemed calm, yet a hint of instinctive defensiveness emanated from her. This defensiveness didn't alienate people; instead, it felt like the vulnerability unintentionally displayed by prey, drawing people closer.
The slightly upturned nose and the lips that seem to be hesitant to speak further amplify this "restrained charm".
Ambiguity is the catalyst of love.
The ambiguity of love and the ambiguity of emotion are actually not exactly the same. The ambiguity of emotion comes from "seeming uncertainty", while the ambiguity of love comes from "hidden restraint".
It's that kind of restrained feeling of "I obviously made a profit or won, but I'm afraid that you will know that I made a profit or won."
This restraint will further amplify the other person's desire.
After her personality transformation, Liu Feifei successfully created this ambiguous atmosphere simply by using her facial expressions and body language.
In other words, she always appears "pure" when acting, otherwise she would have been paired with countless couples.
If Liu Feifei's fans saw this scene, they would definitely cry.
The wireless transmission electrode patch transmits Liu Feifei's brain wave data to Fang Yu's private server, and after processing, it appears on the laptop screen.
Huh? My brainwave frequency does change when I switch between personalities.
I didn't expect that this thing could actually detect changes in dual personality.
Moreover, this time Fang Yu noticed that when Liu Feifei's personality switched, her heart rate and body temperature even underwent subtle changes.
Are there even physiological differences between the two personalities?
"Mr. Xiao Fang, I didn't want to appear in front of you again..." Liu Feifei hesitated to speak, her eyes moving around, and her hands were pinching her skirt and rubbing it continuously.
"Relax, don't be nervous. Are you ready? Get ready and we'll start now." Fang Yu didn't respond to her and pointed his right index finger at Liu Feifei's forehead.
This time, since neither of Liu Feifei's two personalities resisted, she was not in as much pain as last time. Liu Feifei just frowned slightly, feeling as if she had suddenly lost something, and then she returned to normal.
Fang Yu took a look at the brain wave data on the notebook. When Ning Yu's personality was sealed by his mental power, Liu Feifei's brain waves did not change much.
"What do I need to do next?" Liu Feifei asked timidly with a trembling voice.
He looked very scared, but twisted his body twice towards Fang Yu.
Fang Yu suddenly found this "charming" Liu Feifei quite interesting.
You said she was afraid of herself. Judging from all her reactions, she was indeed afraid, and she was trembling with fear.
It seems that locking up her spirit last time left a deep psychological scar on her.
When creatures are afraid, they generally have three reactions: escape, anger, and freezing.
These three reactions are often in a progressive relationship. First, you escape. When you find you can't escape, you become extremely scared and then you get angry. After you get angry, you realize you haven't solved the problem, so you become stiff and can't move at all, as if you're dead.
Many creatures even go into a state of stiffness in one step.
But Liu Feifei is none of these. The more afraid she is, the more she wants to get closer to the things that scare her.
The "pleasing mode" is one of the common response patterns in PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) or traumatic contexts. It refers to actively obeying or even getting close to the source of threat in order to avoid more serious consequences.
But Liu Feifei's situation is not quite the same as the "pleasing mode".
This seems to be a subtle tendency towards self-destruction.
Fang Yu remained calm. Anyway, his mental strength needed to protect Ning Yu's spirituality for a while, so it didn't matter if he had a chat with her now.
"Nothing, the sensor will record your brainwave data, we can just chat casually."
Liu Feifei carefully looked at the black tea on the table: "Can I have a sip of water first?"
Fang Yu smiled and said, "Please go ahead. I told you before, don't be nervous. I shouldn't be that scary, right?"
Liu Feifei picked up the teacup and took a small sip of water. She lowered her head and whispered, "Because I feel like you hate me."
Fang Yu thought for a moment: "Hate? Probably not, right? Why do you think so?"
Liu Feifei's cheeks flushed lightly pink, and she hesitated to speak: "Last time, I...you didn't..."
Then, Liu Feifei raised her head and asked, "Do you think I'm a bad person?"
