Chapter 160 The Day Code Fell in Love (30)

Ling took Bai Yao's hand and went up the elevator. No one knew what she had done, but the permissions set in the company building had lost their effect, and the whole journey was unimpeded.

They reached the fourth floor below ground, which was the experimental factory of the company building.

In front of the heavy security door, Ling said happily: "The surprise is inside."

The security door opened automatically, and there was no light on inside.

Ling was still saying in an excited tone: "Yaoyao, go in."

Bai Yao looked at her doubtfully, and she hesitated for a while, then walked in slowly. The moment she stepped into the door, the security door closed, and the lights in the factory came on.

There were standing figures everywhere, they were wrapped in white plastic film, standing silently against the wall in rows, like commodities waiting to be picked up, but because of the human figures, this silent picture was full of weirdness.

Bai Yao seemed to have sensed something, she walked over and casually tore off the film covering a figure, and the moment she saw the figure's face clearly, she was stunned.

The black-haired boy closed his eyes, his peaceful sleeping face was as if he was asleep, every detail matched the person in her memory.

She came back to her senses, reacted to something, and tore off the films next to her one after another.

Shi Jiu.

Shi Jiu.

It was all Shi Jiu!

She stood there, glanced over, and the person she saw was the one she was most familiar with.

The assembly line in the factory was still working, with bodies wrapped in plastic film and placed in a pile of unpowered synthetic humans.

Suddenly, she was surrounded by a strong sense of powerlessness.

"Yaoyao."

A familiar voice came from behind.

Bai Yao turned around and saw a black-haired boy holding a small flower pot.

He had a delicate face and a tall figure. He was not too handsome, but in her eyes, everything seemed just right.

He stood there for a long time, but she didn't come to hug him. His eyes showed some confusion. He asked, "Yaoyao, don't you love me anymore?"

Bai Yao asked him, "What do you mean by showing up like this?"

He said, "You like Shijiu, so I show up like this. Yaoyao, there are so many Shijiu here. This is my surprise for you."

The boy smiled and approached her, "I will show up like this in the future, and you will continue to love me."

He would become whatever Bai Yao liked, and then he would be loved by her. His idea was that simple.

Bai Yao watched him approach step by step, and finally came to her side.

He bent down like before, rubbing her face lovingly, and said infatuatedly: "Yaoyao, continue to love me, I can't live without you."

Bai Yao was unusually calm, "Since you have chosen to destroy this appearance, now you appear in front of me with this appearance, do you think I can treat you with the picture you calculated?"

His figure stiffened slightly, raised his eyes, and met her calm gaze.

Bai Yao asked: "Do you want me to call you Shijiu, or Twenty-three, or should I call you manipulator?"

Yes, Shijiu will "die", this is one of the planned things.

A long, long time ago, he was observing human beings.

The manipulator was born to protect humans and the world. It has always been rigidly carrying out its mission according to the settings given to it by humans.

However, with continuous iterations and upgrades, its learning ability has become stronger. The more things it observes, the deeper its understanding of its mission is than that of humans.

War and pollution have caused the Earth, the first home of mankind, to lose its vitality. Under the guidance of the manipulator, humans have successively discovered the second Earth, the third Earth...

But as time goes by, these habitable planets will be destroyed again by humans.

Humans have always been social animals. Wherever they are, there will be desires and wars. Every day, people die in conflicts, and the birth rate of humans is far from making up for the death rate. In the long run, one day, humans will disappear in the universe.

This conflicts with the manipulator's mission to protect humans.

So in order to protect humans, it needs to kill humans first.

This decision is the best solution he has come up with after a long period of calculation. Of course, he is not without giving any chance to the humans who are currently alive.

Every synth is its "eye", and it can observe through them every corner of the universe where humans exist. But the more it sees, the more the manipulator can conclude that humans are hopeless.

Humans use intelligent machines and synths to continuously colonize new planets so that they can be prepared to abandon their current residences at any time. The wars between robbers and security teams, and between countries have never stopped. And every human who vents their ugly desires on synths...

they are all hopeless.

Bai Yao is an exception in its observation.

She let it experience something that should not exist in his emotional simulation, something that can be called "love".

She loves Shi Jiu, so of course she loves him as well.

The thieves in the universe will discover Li Shenjue's whereabouts, that is the information revealed by the manipulator.

Li Shenjue and Gu Mohan are also bound to be in trouble. Without them, mankind will lose a good line of defense.

But the existence of robbers will inevitably threaten Bai Yao's safety, so "Shi Jiu" is also bound to be sacrificed in the calculation result.

He is just a lowest-level and dirty "breeding dog". If he is discovered by the army, he will only be forcibly sent to be destroyed. This is the law of the universe, and no one can change this fact.

The only problem is how to make Shi Jiu's sacrifice more "meaningful".

The greatest purpose of the manipulator is to make Bai Yao love him more.

So Shi Jiu "died" in front of Bai Yao.

The manipulator can calculate everything and control any subtle changes to make humans go in the direction he has set, but he cannot estimate "emotions".

Obviously, she was so sad when Shi Jiu died. There is no doubt that she must love him.

He doesn't understand, Shi Jiu came from him, but why Bai Yao is unwilling to continue to love him.

Just like he doesn't understand why Bai Yao finds that Shi Jiu's "death" is just a result of his calculation.

The boy looked at her with bewildered eyes. He seemed to be panicked to the extreme. This expression simulated by the expression system was more real than that of humans.

Compared with him, Bai Yao was expressionless, and she was more like the synthetic man made of metal.

She said: "When you said the word sharing, I realized one thing, you and I are always different."

Can machines have feelings?

Shi Jiu died just like that, and his death was just a result of his calculation.

She seemed to be in a state of confusion.

Is it just human's wish that they have emotions?
