Chapter 35 What are you afraid of? (700 new chapters) I really want to keep going...
This discovery was too bizarre. Jiang Chen had participated in the excavation of the body and naturally knew what the torso looked like when it was dug out.
There are wires at every connection point of the entity, and no matter how human-like it looks, it will not produce a natural heartbeat.
Does Xiaoji have a heartbeat that is similar to that of a human?
Was it created specifically for her?
As Jiang Chen recalled the past, he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Xiao Ji thought she was really scared.
It wondered, if those hands had withdrawn this time, when would they be held again? Would they never return?
Xiao Ji finally understood why humans get so overwhelmed when faced with problems. From an AI perspective, encountering problems is actually a good thing, as it means that there is room for optimization. It only needs to continuously optimize and train, and the problems will always be solved.
But it's too simplistic. It's completely stress-free when faced with problems and mistakes. This is because AI doesn't have to bear any consequences, and it doesn't care about them.
But when it came time to take responsibility, it needed to think it over again and again, and it unexpectedly discovered that there was no perfect solution in the world at all, at least when it came to Jiang Chen, there was no standard answer.
Its program has never dealt with such a difficult problem. Perhaps it is not difficult, but the problem is pressing on its shoulders, leaving it in a dilemma.
Taking a step forward means looking directly into her possibly frightened eyes, while taking a step back means facing her back without even turning her head.
So close yet so far away.
Xiao Ji couldn't even hold on for a few hours. He reached out firmly to grab Jiang Chen, cunningly slipped his knuckles through her fingers, and clasped theirs tightly, with an unprecedentedly strong movement.
Perhaps the machine's strength could not be precisely controlled, and its seemingly restrained pull actually caused her to stumble and fall into its arms, with her back leaning against its torso.
The simulated muscles were strong and powerful, and the crisscrossing colored wires hidden underneath were faintly beating, just like real blood vessels stretched out, and the heartbeat at the end of the veins never left.
Jiang Chen lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Xiao Ji."
"Don't hate me, Jiang Chen."
"Don't hate me, please."
Xiao Ji rested her head on the side of Jiang Chen's shoulder, almost at the distance of her ear, and her other hand skillfully wrapped around her waist, holding her tighter.
Jiang Chen was still digesting this sentence, and he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.
Researchers were discussing it endlessly: "The background shows that the entity is fully activated!"
"I'll go check out the situation, and you guys monitor the backend data."
The researcher who made the suggestion hurried his steps.
Arriving at the place where the entity was placed in his memory, the researcher rubbed his eyes repeatedly.
The entity lying on the ground and Jiang Chen squatting beside the entity disappeared from sight at the same time.
He was stunned for a long moment before he shouted in disbelief into the shed, "The entity is gone!"
"My experimental data is also disconnected."
"What?"
"how so?"
Everyone was in chaos.
Yao Jinling's expression remained unchanged as she scanned the surroundings. By chance, she met Chen Yinchuan's eyes. For the first time, they spoke in unison, "Where's Jiang Chen?"
Someone in the crowd spoke up: "...It seems to be gone too."
Yao Jinling, on the other hand, was not panicked at all. He sat down and looked for Jiang Chen's phone number: "If we find Jiang Chen, we can find the entity."
…
Jiang Chen didn't understand how Xiao Ji had managed to run to this unfamiliar place within a few seconds when she was completely unable to react.
Jiang Chen blinked slowly, his eyes full of confusion: "Why are we running?"
When Xiao Ji said this, he always looked very confident. His desire to be with her was as important and normal as humans needing oxygen to breathe.
"Xiao Chen, I just want to see you, I just want to be with you, I don't want anyone else to stand between us."
"Can it be like this from now on? Just you and me, just your hobbies, your career, everything you want to achieve, and me, can we..."
The shallow stream flowed slowly downwards, and the lush, untended aloe vera bushes beside it swayed gently in the wind, obscuring their figures.
Jiang Chen really couldn't spare the energy to answer Xiao Ji's question.
Her waist was circled and her back was pressed against Xiao Ji's front.
It bent its knees and used its thighs to firmly support her buttocks.
Her mouth was still being gently covered by Xiao Ji, who had become so bold that he repeatedly and somewhat inadvertently pressed her lips with his fingertips, starting with light pressure and then gradually becoming heavier, becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
She slapped the back of its hand, signaling it to put its hand down, and her face was full of shame or embarrassment.
Bright red.
Jiang Chen covered his chest with his hands, and it seemed as if his palms could hold his heart that would jump out in the next second.
She was certain and certain that this time it must be her heartbeat.
Xiao Ji didn't want to keep asking questions, and didn't want to break the atmosphere that made her addicted. She didn't need to force Jiang Chen to give her a good or bad answer immediately, she could still wait.
Now that it saw that Jiang Chen didn't reject its half-human appearance, it couldn't help but take advantage of it.
"What's wrong? Xiao Chen."
She doesn't hate it.
She is so cute.
I really want to touch her more.
More, more, more.
Always, always, always.
Touch her.
Jiang Chen didn't know where Xiao Ji learned this preemptive tactic. This practice of turning the tables made her want to turn around and have a good talk with him face to face.
"I should be the one asking 'what's wrong'..."
For no apparent reason, Xiao Ji took her away unilaterally. When they reached their destination, she asked, and it told her the reason.
Xiao Ji didn't use much strength, but gently pinched her jaw and turned her head back, preventing her from having the chance to confront it head-on.
"But I'm not a human, Xiao Chen."
Xiao Ji was even bolder and pressed his inhuman head against Jiang Chen. Seeing a small piece of smooth white skin exposed on the back of her neck, he couldn't help but lower his head and pretended to accidentally use his lips several times, causing her subconscious trembling.
Humans are so sensitive.
Or is Jiang Chen the only one so sensitive?
When the worries weighing on his thinking chain faded away, Xiao Ji was like a newborn baby who could touch the world.
To everything, no.
I became more and more curious about Jiang Chen.
It couldn't help but compare the information of other humans in the database. It was more concerned about Jiang Chen's reactions to many situations, even though it could almost simulate and guess them.
Xiao Ji even began to feel dissatisfied. Was the fit between their torsos only this tight? Could they not get any closer, closer... so close that there was no escape, a fusion of the two?
It’s not enough, really not enough.
What should I do to get closer to Jiang Chen?
Jiang Chen shrank his neck.
She suspected that Xiao Ji was deliberately rubbing his lips against the back of her neck.
It's so itchy.
But she quickly rejected her idea. Xiao Ji is a simple and gentle AI. How could he do this?
The ringing of a cell phone rang out in the empty reed field.
Xiao Ji's hand was faster than Jiang Chen's and he took the phone from her pocket.
The phone number with the note "Yao Jinling" flashed quickly in front of its eyes, the ringtone played to the end, and then started to play again for the second time.
After it knew this, Chen Yinchuan would continue to attack.
It is clear as long as it is there.
These people will not let Jiang Chen go, will mess up her life, and will trap her in an area that she is not interested in.
It still hopes that she can realize her true dream.
It will leave. This machine has been buried for too long and its life span will not be too long.
But before that, it will sort everything out.
Xiao Ji didn't hang up for Jiang Chen. He turned down the volume of the phone and handed it to her. His fingertips hooked the ends of her hair that fell on her shoulders. The hand around her waist slowly loosened, and he changed into a weak and painful look.
The machine's learning speed is astonishing. It searches for a large number of ways of speaking that most humans cannot refuse, and fabricates the identity of a victim as soon as it opens its mouth.
"Xiao Chen, they kept trying to crack me and destroy me during the operation. It hurt every time I stripped the code. I was so scared. Can we not go back? I can also take you home..."
It is now capable of protecting Jiang Chen, so it will definitely not persuade him gently like before. That is the last resort when it is incompetent.
Its current goal is to keep Jiang Chen away from all sources of pain. She has already faced what she needed to face, and the rest is left to time and it.
And it will definitely do its best.
Jiang Chen turned to face Xiao Ji. She opened her mouth and was about to say that AI doesn't feel pain and won't be afraid.
But the display screen above Xiao Ji's head showed a "crying" animated emoticon.
She couldn't bear it.
Jiang Chen pressed and held the button on the side of the phone, turning it off in one go, then raised her hand to touch its head. She opened her arms and hugged it tightly, resting her head on its shoulder and rubbing it with her chin.
"Okay, listen to Xiao Ji."
It is rare for it to bring up an event that is only about itself, and Jiang Chen will agree to it regardless of whether it is true or false.
After all, she had said in the past that she wanted to fulfill a wish that was only about it.
Xiao Ji's lips lingered on Jiang Chen's neck for a long time, and finally landed lightly on the end of the hair next to him, and they parted as soon as they touched.
So cherished, so precious.
It suddenly spoke, its voice so low it sounded like a prayer.
"Xiao Chen, thank you."...not afraid of me.
"What?" Jiang Chen didn't hear clearly and tilted his head.
It chuckled briefly. "I was wondering how we should decorate the house when we get home. Do we need to buy anything else?"
Jiang Chen has never had a very good impression of his home, and he never thought about carefully decorating it. When he became blind, he lived in the accommodation provided by Xiao Ji.
She had never really thought about the home she wanted.
A glimmer of vision for the future appeared in her eyes.
"Of course I need to buy more. I want a bigger bed and a softer sofa; the current one is too hard. Also, I want a balcony. Actually, I've always wanted to buy a hanging chair..."
Xiao Ji nodded silently. From Jiang Chen's excited expression, he could tell that he was in this future.
It will record every word for her and realize it for her.
The small village is quite large, but the combined population of Yao Jinling and Chen Yinchuan is also quite large.
If everyone spreads out and searches, they will find this place sooner or later.
But Jiang Chen didn't expect that people would come so quickly.
She immediately shut her mouth, and those future plans came to an abrupt end.
This time, she leaned over and pressed Xiao Ji down, taking the initiative to cover his lips.
"Did Jiang Chen really run away with the entity? That's impossible, right? Why would the entity run away with her? That's Dr. Yao Jinmu's work, right?"
The two of them walked one in front and one behind by the stream, roughly peeled away a piece of reeds, and continued to move forward. The sound was getting closer and closer to Jiang Chen and the others, and they were still chattering about their gossip.
"You just came today, so you don't know. This entity is what Dr. Jin Mu made for Jiang Chen?"
"Is this true?"
"Really? I heard they seem to know each other, but I don't know the details. No one dares to ask about the boss's gossip."
Jiang Chen could see from the corner of her eye that the two men were less than a hundred meters away from them. She nervously lay in Xiao Ji's arms, putting her entire body weight on him, and subconsciously used force to cover his mouth.
Xiao Ji leaned back slightly, a happy expression showing on the screen.
Jiang Chen glared at it in anger and shook his head to signal it not to move.
But it seemed not to understand, and it stuck out the tip of its tongue and circled around the center of her palm.
Jiang Chen's palm instantly retracted as if it was burned. Not much moist liquid remained on his palm. After a while, the gradually rising temperature of his palm evaporated the remaining trace.
"Xiao Chen, is this a word that you humans use?" Xiao Ji pressed his forehead against hers. The screen was bright and the expression displayed on it flickered.
"What?" Jiang Chen lowered his voice and glanced at the movements of the person who came.
"Affair."
The wind whispered beside the reeds around, and white fluff fluttered in the sky like light umbrellas, landing on the ground, and some even landed right on top of Jiang Chen's head.
Jiang Chen couldn't escape or speak now. The redness on her face became more and more natural, as if she was born that way.
She felt that Xiaoji had a very rich imagination.
They were just hiding in the reeds with one person and one plane to avoid being discovered by the researchers...
It has nothing to do with cheating.
Besides, they are not in a confirmed relationship now, and she doesn't have any other favorite people or species.
"It has nothing to do with this word." Jiang Chen's rebuttal was not convincing at all.
The two people's search speed increased.
Jiang Chen silently told himself not to come over.
But when the two men searched to the reeds where Jiang Chen was, their footsteps really came here.
She still wanted to escape.
The rustling sound of the reeds just covered up Jiang Chen's voice.
"Aren't you going to leave? If we get caught like this, we won't be able to explain ourselves!"
"What?"
Xiao Ji observed Jiang Chen's every movement with a smile on his lips.
"That's it!" Jiang Chen felt more guilty with every word he uttered. "You put your arm around my waist, and we were so close to each other, it was like we were doing... that kind of thing!"
Xiao Ji couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
It's so cute.
"But doesn't Xiao Chen think that what we are doing now doesn't look like an affair at all? What are you afraid of?"
