Chapter 204 Main World 5 I love you, but so what
The endless grassland was dotted with small yellow flowers. Xu Yanze stood in front of the cottage, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, holding a snow-white lamb in his arms.
After Yin Suohe reminded him, he immediately took the two 07s to apply for the vacation world. The vacation world is not big and has no plot line. It just has different scenery, different animals and plants, and there will be no other people to disturb you in the whole world.
This is what Xu Yanze values the most. Without his permission, no one can enter this world, so as to prevent the R&D team from making any small moves.
Xu Yanze sat on the grass holding the lamb, lowered his head and smiled as he stroked its fluffy fur, softly imitating the lamb's bleating.
Even though he was isolated from the information, he was still able to guess it almost exactly. There was nothing he could do about it; human nature and interests did not change much in any world.
As for the R&D team, 07 has been sleeping since returning from the small world. It is unlikely that they are sure that 07 has found him. It is more likely that they feel that it is rare for them to be able to do anything for 07, so they are really a handy and useful tool.
They wanted to do something to themselves.
This is nothing strange. Life in the main world is comfortable and affluent, but there is always a set of hidden rules. All decisions of the main system are supreme. In order to achieve the goals of the main system, the loss of material resources and the sacrifice of people in the process are regarded as equal.
Among the division leaders, only Yin Suohe was clearly opposed to this rule. If Xu Yanze was in other divisions, he might have been locked up in the R&D group by now.
Xu Yanze can only hide from the people in the main system now. Waiting and watching is his best choice. In the main world, he is far away from the upper echelons of power in the main system and has almost no resistance to their methods.
But Xu Yanze believed in Yin Suohe, and believed in 07 about 70%...
As soon as Xu Yanze turned around, he saw two 07s busy in the sheep pen. They were the same consciousness, and working together was indeed very efficient.
Since they had discussed serious matters once that night, they had tacitly agreed not to talk much since then. 07 seemed to be hesitant about something, and even the most impatient bartender did not say much to Xu Yanze. Xu Yanze could not completely trust what it said, and his heart was tense with a string of vigilance.
The air here is very good, with a gentle breeze carrying an unknown scent of grass. The temperature is just dry and warm, with only the grass swaying in the wind tickling your ankles.
Xu Yanze quietly watched the two of them pack up and walk towards him, and his heart suddenly calmed down. There was nothing wrong with doubting the love of a non-human consciousness that had never appeared, but he didn't think he should doubt his own love, as that would be disrespectful to himself.
They surrounded Xu Yanze from the left and right, watching him lower his head to comb the lamb's wool. The bartender with a human head on the left came closely. His body was highly humanoid, and he would sneak in several times at night to try to provide "special services".
The one on the right is tall. Although his head is a display screen, it is indeed practical. Sometimes when he squats down, it can be used as a large-screen communicator.
Xu Yanze shrugged his shoulders, disliking the heavy head that was leaning over and affecting his ability to pet the lamb. Only the lambs here were so well-behaved.
"Why do you like this sheep again? Don't you like me anymore?"
Xu Yanze laughed when he heard it ask this. "I can like many things, like grass, fluffy animals, hot tea, desserts, and my friends. Liking is not the only thing..."
"No. You should only like me." These words were uttered by the silent butler.
Xu Yanze looked at it seriously, then lowered his head to touch the lamb in his arms that was dozing off because it was too comfortable, and continued, "It's not just me, you should be like this too."
The sun was warm, Xu Yanze's hair was moving gently, his expression was peaceful and his heart was calm: "You should also like a lot of things, not just me, like friends who are good to you, like those things that make you feel happy and that make you feel that life is not so bad."
"The unique thing you are talking about is love. That kind of liking is exclusive."
The more Xu Yanze gets along with 07, the more he can feel their ignorance, but he has the patience to teach them. Even if he suspects that 07 is deliberately looking for him to complete his evolution, he will still choose to hurt him when necessary.
"I understand this. Just like we are in our small world, we are lovers." The one with a cheek said as she lightly kissed his cheek, then looked at Xu Yanze with an unsatisfied look.
"Yes, there's nothing wrong with admitting it." Xu Yanze did not respond to it, but still looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and chuckled.
"I love you. It doesn't matter who you are, or even if you're one or two."
Xu Yanze shook his head again as if in self-mockery. "It was like a disaster that happened at the right time, right place, and right people. We lost our memories and got entangled in our pre-set identities. It happened so fast that I couldn't react."
Xu Yanze finally looked at the stunned bartender beside him, with a soft light in his eyes without any cover, and he reached out to remove the grass stems from his hair. The housekeeper immediately reached out and grabbed Xu Yanze, his tone was a little vicious. "I am also the 07 you love."
Xu Yanze broke free, hummed, and continued, "But so what? I love you, but you don't have to love me, and I don't have to be with you. We don't necessarily have to be together either."
"I love you!" The butler didn't say anything, but the bartender almost shouted eagerly. It finally understood where the strong uneasiness came from.
Xu Yanze didn't believe it, and he never even thought about them being together. That's right, Xu Yanze never planned to look for it after returning to the main world.
"You can't doubt my love just because I'm not a human like you." The bartender's standard face showed such an expression, which made Xu Yanze stunned.
The housekeeper suddenly spoke up and rarely agreed with him: "This is unfair to us."
Xu Yanze was silent for a while and then asked, "Shouldn't I be suspicious? Can't I not believe it? From the beginning, I didn't voluntarily enter your little world. You still have too much information that you don't want me to know. After returning to the main world, you weren't honest enough. You came to my side but you insisted on waiting for me to find out."
"Can't I suspect you have ulterior motives? I have to face all kinds of dangers that I am powerless to resist, and these are all brought to me by you. If it weren't for Yin Suohe, would I still be sitting here?"
Xu Yanze originally thought that he was very calm and would not get excited even after such a confession. But when it really came to this, it was not until the little lamb in his arms licked his chin that he came to his senses. He didn't know when the tears had already flowed.
He is also an ordinary person who is afraid and considers, unlike the taskers in the small world who hold the script with spoilers in advance.
"Forget it." Xu Yanze waved their hands away, put down the lamb in his arms, stood up and walked towards the cabin. "Just pretend I didn't say that. I didn't mean anything else."
This time no one rushed to chase after him. The butler looked at the bartender opposite him whose expression was completely blank. They were essentially the same person. For many things, they could sense each other's emotions and thoughts without even communicating.
The butler touched his chest, where the central processor of this butler-type robot was located.
"Are you so miserable because of what he said?"
The bartender's body was incapable of shedding tears, but its expression looked as if it had shed tears. It looked across at itself and answered with certainty.
"We are all in pain." The bartender looked at the lamb running around in despair. After a long while, he spoke again: "It's not because of what he said, but because we made him cry."
"We are not as good as this lamb."
The butler had always believed that he was the main body of 07, and that the one in front of him was a small part of him that had been broken away. At this moment, he actually began to doubt himself. "Why can you figure this out? And I can't even figure this out myself?"
The butler had never been so eager to merge as he was at this moment. What was even more terrifying was that he seemed to have been thinking that if he merged with it, the complete 07 would be able to call on greater computing power and come up with a solution that would stop Xu Yanze from crying.
"I don't want to merge with you." The bartender knew what the other party was thinking, and he pointed it out directly. "Your underlying code still follows the logic built by the R&D team. Yan Ze's suspicion is correct. You have the potential to hurt him."
"You are the only one he hates, fears, and doesn't accept." It felt the other's pain almost cruelly, and smiled with relief: "If I were the only one who was 07, he wouldn't be in so much pain."
Only at this moment did the butler realize that his incomplete consciousness was capable of experiencing such intense emotions. The overwhelming panic was like a flood that suddenly broke apart the sand castle.
"Your computing power is not enough. If you don't merge with me, our computing power will not be enough. If we don't split up, we will definitely make more correct decisions after returning to the main world, and he won't be so sad."
The bartender was not convinced: "Your underlying code still has hidden dangers. Will you have better computing power to deal with Xu Yanze after the fusion? I wanted to protect him from the beginning, not because I was afraid that you would threaten him. I could have been more frank..."
The housekeeper wanted to refute, but it had already begun to vaguely agree with this statement. The R&D team had not yet discovered that 07's consciousness was not sleeping, but escaping. Once it realized this, it would become Xu Yanze's biggest threat.
But it was obvious... at first it was just following its instinct to find a way to take a look at him, eager to know what the real Xu Yanze was like.
"We can not merge them yet, but if I am really controlled and want to attack him, you can't stop me." The butler was silent for a long time, and finally his chaotic thoughts gradually became clear. "We need to find someone to cooperate with us and think of a way."
——
The top three floors of the central tower are regarded as the highest authority area, and the R&D team is currently on the third floor. After the 07 high-level artificial intelligence body fell into a deep sleep, they were divided into teams.
Most people went out to search the small worlds that 07 had linked to, and only a small number stayed here to search 07's logs day after day, trying to find some clues here.
No one thought that the group left behind would make any progress. After all, the data was too complicated, and the part of the signal that 07 became active after falling asleep turned into a hypnotic wavy line on the instrument, which was really worthless to analyze.
It would be better to search the linked small world and investigate on the spot whether there is any remnant of 07's consciousness.
"There are only three of us left here. We can even put our feet on the equipment. It's pretty comfortable."
"You are the only one who takes things as they come. The three of us are obviously being used as cannon fodder. We won't make any progress or achieve any results if we stay here."
Two people standing next to each other were eating and waving their hands while casually scrolling through the data in the air. They just glanced at it without thinking. Only a researcher wearing thick black-framed glasses was carefully checking the small screen in front of him, without talking to them.
"Yan Jing, how long have you been doing this and forgetting to eat and sleep? What have you figured out?" A man came over with a lunch box and knocked on the table in front of him.
He was startled, then adjusted his glasses and said uncertainly: "I feel that there is something wrong with this data, and the wave string shape of the 07 dormant signal is also a bit strange."
"The data was too orderly and smooth, and it just felt wrong."
The man immediately rolled his eyes, waved his hand in annoyance, and turned away. Glasses gave up explaining and continued to flip through the wave string records, comparing them with the complex log data.
"I always feel like these are fake, confusing our vision..." Glasses raised his black-framed glasses, turned his head to look at 07 in the hibernation capsule, frowned and murmured: "You haven't left here yet."
Such a sentence suddenly made him jump, causing the remaining two people to look at him suddenly.
"We must report this to the chief designer immediately. 07's consciousness has probably completed its evolution and has left the laboratory."
