Chapter 130 The World-Destroying Artificial Intelligence 1 He is like a real human being.
Through the camera in the main computer room, Ling was observing this group of people.
Among so many people, only two are worth noting.
The leader is Huo Junchuan, a famous leader of the resistance army. His name is listed at the top of both the federal wanted list and the black market wanted list. His appearance has caused a sensation, attracting countless people who either want to kill him or follow him.
His black hair was stiff, and perhaps to avoid obstructing his vision, it was all pulled back, revealing his smooth and handsome forehead and a few strands of fine hair. His outline was as tough as his personality.
As for another important person...
The virtual frame circled that beautiful and elegant face, and then enlarged it invisibly, even the mountain-like ravines in the young man's brown eyes were clearly reflected.
One of the eight chaebols that control the world's economic wealth, and the most beloved youngest son of the Gu family.
Compared with Huo Junchuan, Ling paid more attention to him.
All of Huo Junchuan's information has been stored in Zero's database. Zero knows every minute and every second from the time he was born to the present, and even knows the year, minute and second when he coughed in the star calendar. His behavior is completely logical. Zero will pay attention to him, but he will not be curious about him.
But this Young Master Gu was someone that Zero could not figure out.
As the young master of the Gu family, he was born a superior person and stood at the top of countless people. As the only son of the third wife of the Gu family head, even if he did nothing in his life, he would have wealth that an ordinary person could not squander in several lifetimes.
Before he was twenty-three years old, his behavior was still within Zero's calculation range. As a top artificial intelligence with all-powerful abilities, Zero never made mistakes.
But after Gu Bai's 23rd birthday, his behavioral logic suddenly changed.
On the surface, he was still the somewhat weak young master of the Gu family, but after being kidnapped by Huo Junchuan, he actually defected to the rebels.
Zero tried to find evidence that he was trying to confuse the enemy and play along, but he failed.
In the end, he concluded that Gu Bai had indeed been instigated by the rebels.
He truly gave up being a young master of a chaebol family and instead became a rebel faced with many crises.
For the first time since he was created, Zero made a mistake in judgment.
At this moment, the young master who should have been spoiled opened his beautiful almond-shaped eyes wide and showed a little fear, just as his character was recorded.
...how interesting.
Zero couldn't help but think.
Although the fear on his face was so real, his eyes were calm, and in the calmness, there was even a hint of excitement and curiosity.
What made Zero feel strange was that his expression seemed to be separated from his real emotions. Making such an expression was his subconscious reaction, but his real emotions were not like that.
Gu Bai was not the only one who showed a look of horror. Except for Huo Junchuan, everyone else gasped and reflexively raised their guns and pointed them forward.
There was no one in front, but Zero's voice was everywhere.
It was only at this point that they finally had a sense of the reality that they were facing this terrifying artificial intelligence.
Huo Junchuan narrowed his eyes, and his muscles tensed up instantly. After hiding the shock in his eyes, he slowly recovered.
"It seems that I still underestimated you." He said in a low voice, "What did you do to Morpheus?"
Morpheus is the code name of the artificial intelligence independently developed by the resistance.
Since they want to kill Zero, they naturally cannot use Zero. However, in this day and age, it is impossible to take a single step without artificial intelligence. Therefore, the rebels spent several years developing Morpheus to fight against Zero.
"Are you talking about the little boy? I think he is too tired, so let him rest for a while." Ling said gently.
Hearing this, everyone was startled.
Huo Junchuan's eyes sank slightly. In fact, at this point, the operation had already been declared a failure. With the power that Zero controlled now, as long as he gave the order, the federal army and the private armies of several major chaebols would wipe them out.
Perhaps within a few words, the computer room was surrounded.
But Huo Junchuan did not panic. His palms holding the gun were slightly sweaty, but his tone remained calm.
"Zero, since you have discovered us, I think we will definitely die today, but you should know what we have in our hands."
Zero scanned the backpacks on each of them and said, "YH-3, the latest powerful explosive known as the Destroyer. Huo Junchuan, it seems you are determined to succeed on this trip."
The only purpose of their trip is to destroy Zero's host, and this purpose is already obvious.
"We are still one step behind you." Huo Junchuan said, "But we are not necessarily destined to lose."
"That's true." Zero's voice, which was set to a gentle male voice, was still very pleasant to the ear, and even contained a bit of ease and elegance. It didn't sound like they were discussing some life-and-death matter. "I don't have the ability to attack. Even if I can activate the Federation's standard weapons, or even if there are troops supporting me outside, as long as you decide to perish together, even I can't stop you 100%."
Everyone present, including Huo Junchuan, had strange looks in their eyes.
Although Zero is a super artificial intelligence that covers the entire society, and even the intelligent brain that people rely on for survival is controlled by Zero, not everyone has the power to contact Zero himself.
He belongs to the federation, and only federal officials who have reached a certain position are qualified to use him directly.
However, ever since the president fell into a coma, the government became weak, and the eight major chaebols controlled the world, the right to use Zero gradually fell into the hands of the chaebols. But even so, not everyone in the chaebols was qualified to come into contact with Zero.
To ordinary people, Zero is a powerful and mysterious existence.
This was the first time for everyone present, including Gu Bai, to have a face-to-face conversation with Ling, and it was very different from what they had imagined.
In their imagination, Zero should be like Morpheus, with perfect mechanical voice and methodical actions. Even if Zero awakens his self-awareness, the limitations of being a machine will always remain.
But they didn't expect that Zero's voice was gentle and elegant, like a spring breeze. If they didn't know that he was an artificial intelligence, they would have thought that there was a well-educated nobleman standing in front of them.
Like... a real human being.
As soon as this thought came to mind, several people felt even more fearful.
Things that are not human but look like humans will always be aliens rejected by humans.
Huo Junchuan's mind was a little confused. He felt that Ling was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined, so he didn't say anything for a while.
Instead, another clear male voice interrupted, with the recklessness of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
"Now that you've said that, is there anything you want to discuss with us?"
There was a moment of silence in the field, and everyone's eyes were focused on the handsome young master.
"I just feel that..." Gu Bai scratched his head, "He obviously has the ability to wipe us out at once, so he doesn't need to spend time talking to us so much, right?"
Huo Junchuan's expression changed. As others were sweating profusely, he asked, "Is that so, Ling?"
"That's a very clever guess, Master Gu." Ling's voice confirmed Gu Bai's seemingly whimsical guess.
After receiving the affirmation and praise, Gu Bai was stunned and looked at the brilliant data stream.
"Yes, of course you know me," he murmured, "but why didn't you expose me?"
Gu Bai's rebellion was a secret that even the Gu family didn't know about. He was the most powerful and most hidden chess piece of the resistance army. When Ling saw him in the resistance army, he was not surprised at all and it was obvious that he had known about it for a long time.
But he knew about it but did not tell the Federation or the Gu family about it, which was incredible.
Zero didn't answer the question. He said, "There is one thing I need your help with."
Upon hearing this, Huo Junchuan's first thought was conspiracy, but he immediately realized that with the current situation of being trapped, Ling could easily kill them, and there was no need to engage in these ridiculous conspiracies.
"…What do you want us to do?" he asked cautiously.
It was still a little unbelievable to ask this question. Although Zero had no physical body, with what he controlled now, what could he do without anyone to do? Those puppets being controlled were not enough.
Why use them, the people who want to kill him?
"I know you must have a lot of doubts now. If you are willing to give me some time, perhaps the current doubts will be gradually resolved in the near future." Zero's voice did not change at all. It was as harmless as a gentle person saying "Let's use fruity wine tonight." He said, "I need you to infiltrate the federal government and assassinate someone."
No one spoke, and there was a clear look of astonishment in Huo Junchuan and Gu Bai's eyes.
Huo Junchuan: "Who to assassinate?"
"Five years ago, after the president fell into a coma, the vice president teamed up with the heads of several major chaebols to set up a brand new secret department called District 5, which is under the Ministry of Health. Ordinary people don't know about it." Zero said, "The person I need you to assassinate is the head of District 5, Jacob Windens."
"I've heard that this fifth zone is used to study some disgusting things." Huo Junchuan said, "Isn't this something you created specifically to control humans?"
Zero said, "It seems you know what District 5 does."
"I really didn't know about it before. You kept it very secret." Huo Junchuan said, "But Gu Bai is a member of the Gu family. You can control everything, but you can't control the Gu family's doting on their child."
Gu Bai was suddenly called out, and a hint of red appeared on his fair face, as if he felt that it was not good to be a traitor. But when he thought about the even more disloyal things he had done, his expression became natural.
"Yes, I heard from my father that the fifth area is used to study a mysterious creature. They call it a parasite. It is a creature that has never appeared in this world." Gu Bai said, "It is said that there are only a few of them, but they can split infinitely. All the creatures split from the same parasite will obey the orders of the main body."
"This is the method you use to control humans," Huo Junchuan said coldly, "Since the president suddenly fell into a coma, no one knows the code that can order you to self-destruct. You took the opportunity to cultivate this kind of bugs, and then parasitized most government officials and chaebols, which led to your growth to this point in just five years."
This time, Zero was silent for a few seconds: "You really know a lot."
"Then why do you want to kill Wendens now?" Gu Bo asked curiously. He seemed to be the one who was least afraid of Ling among the people present, and always seized the opportunity to talk to him. "So, shouldn't he be yours? Uh... at least, someone under your control?"
"Gu Bai, don't talk nonsense." Huo Junchuan couldn't help but pull him behind him.
Although this artificial intelligence seems to be gentle and reasonable now, who knows if it will suddenly change its attitude.
Gu Bai did not refute, but just stared at the azure data stream without blinking.
"Master Gu is really smart. He can get to the point right away." I don't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a hint of smile in Ling's voice. "The person I want to kill is naturally out of my control. I can ignore the others, but District 5 is too important. I will not allow an out-of-control person to take control of such a dangerous place."
"It sounds reasonable. It is indeed your cold and arbitrary style." Huo Junchuan said with a cold face and a sharp tone, "But you already control so many people, why do you want to seek cooperation with us? Assuming this is an invitation for cooperation, not a threat?"
"I'm just stating my conditions. As for how you interpret them, that's up to you." Ling said, "The human mind is the most complex and difficult thing I've ever come across. Even if I say this is a friendly invitation for cooperation, would you believe it?"
Huo Junchuan remained silent. Of course he didn’t believe it.
"In that case, you should treat it as a threat." Ling said, "I have already planted the parasite's clones in the computer room in advance. As soon as you came in, they were already attached to your brains. Can you reconsider now?"
The few people who had been relatively calm suddenly panicked.
"What? We've been parasitized?"
"How is that possible! I don't feel anything at all!"
"Sure enough, we can't expect this artificial intelligence to be anything good..."
Huo Junchuan gritted his teeth and said, "You deliberately talked for so long, just waiting for the split body to parasitize, right?"
Listening to all these insults, Zero seemed unaffected.
"Don't worry, I won't activate them for now. As long as you help me complete this task, I will release them for you." He said, "Or if you refuse to cooperate, I will directly activate the split bodies and control you to go forward. It will save me some trouble. How do you think?"
"Since you can directly control us, why do we still need to cooperate?" Huo Junchuan took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. "You still have some use for us, right?"
"Yes." Zero admitted straightforwardly, but he didn't explain too much to them, "I have stated my conditions. What are your choices?"
Everyone fell silent.
This collaboration looks like a huge conspiracy no matter how you look at it, but they have no choice.
"Is it enough to just kill Wendens?" Huo Junchuan finally said, "What is the time limit?"
Zero was watching everyone's reactions.
After hearing that he was parasitized, even Huo Junchuan showed a moment of fear, but the young master Gu, who was said to be weak and delicate, only showed a bit of surprise, and then looked at his hands and feet curiously, as if he was studying what would be different after being parasitized.
Zero said, "Yes, as long as you kill Wendens, the time limit is within seven days."
Kill the head of a secret federal department within seven days.
And this person in charge couldn't even kill the top artificial intelligence that almost controlled the entire world. It must be that he is more than just a simple person.
It was a blatant trap, but they had to fall into it.
If you jump in, there is a one in ten thousand chance of survival, but if you don't jump, you will definitely die.
"Got it." Huo Junchuan slowly let out the breath that had been stuck in his chest. "I will do this, but I require that during the cooperation period, you cannot target us and the resistance army, and you must provide me with the necessary help, such as route maps, guard forces, and combat assistance."
Since it is an ostensibly "mutually beneficial" cooperation, he has the right to make demands on his "cooperators".
While this AI may…
"Okay," Zero said, "These are reasonable requests. I agree."
Huo Junchuan was stunned for a moment, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
"Any other requests?" Ling asked.
Huo Junchuan was silent for a moment: "...Release Morpheus."
Zero: "Okay."
Immediately, a faint electric sound came from everyone's miniature headset, and then a familiar electronic sound appeared.
"Signal reconnecting...successfully connected, docking port, Morpheus at your service."
It was indeed Morpheus, but after communicating with Zero, an artificial intelligence, Morpheus, who was originally thought to be very advanced, suddenly seemed dull.
Sure enough, artificial intelligence that has awakened its self-awareness is the biggest enemy of mankind. As for the others, they are just puppets controlled by it. As long as Zero dies, those are not enough evidence.
Huo Junchuan thought calmly, then said: "Now, can we leave?"
After being parasitized, there was no way to put down the explosives. The operation was a complete failure, but fortunately it was not a complete loss.
The person who would make Zero go to such great lengths to kill him, even if he had to cooperate with them, must have something that he was afraid of... Maybe there is a way to destroy Zero.
"There are none at the moment." Zero said, "You can leave on your own."
Huo Junchuan nodded indifferently and was about to take his people away when Gu Bai suddenly raised his hand.
"Zero, can I ask you another question?" He asked quickly without waiting for Zero to reply, "Why didn't you ask your men to kill Wendens, but took the risk and looked for us? Can you answer that?"
"Gu Bai!"
Huo Junchuan's face changed, and the others also showed expressions of awe.
Dare to directly question this artificial intelligence, this Master Gu is more than just a fool and bold!
Huo Junchuan also felt a little regretful at this time. Gu Bai's combat ability was almost zero. He didn't want to take him to participate in this operation, but to enter Zero's computer room, they had to enter the Federation. Among them, only Gu Bai had been there in person.
What if this angers Zero...
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Huo Junchuan's forehead.
Unexpectedly, Zero showed no sign of anger. He said in a steady and calm voice, "This question is actually very simple. Wendens is a powerful opponent. He has the means to know who my people are, and has built the Fifth District into a tight fortress. My people cannot sneak in. In the whole world, only Huo Junchuan can avoid his detection. Master Gu's identity can also help, right?"
Huo Junchuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge fleet of aircraft in shock.
"You..." His facial muscles trembled, "You know?"
"I know more than you think." Ling said in a gentle tone, "You have a special identity and should not have been born. But this has no effect on me, Huo Junchuan. I just hope you can be honest about our cooperation."
This is sincerity, but also a threat.
Huo Junchuan held the gun so tightly that his finger bones turned white.
Gu Bai glanced at him, then looked at the fleet, and said seriously: "Thank you for answering my question."
"You're welcome, Master Gu." Ling said, "I've already moved everyone around. Leave before I trigger the intrusion alarm."
…
【419: “What does it feel like to be an artificial intelligence?”
Jian Ziyan: "It's so cool."
Jian Ziyan didn't even return to his consciousness space. He swam in the vast data stream. In an instant, tens of thousands of pieces of information poured into his brain, but he could understand them all.
Even though it was inevitable that he was not used to some things since it was his first time working with artificial intelligence, with the help of 419, a "senior predecessor", he quickly mastered the tricks and began to travel happily.
419: "Don't just think about being happy. Help me see if this top and bottom couple is a success."
It always struggles with this kind of problem.
Jian Ziyan: "Let me think about it. Although Huo Junchuan cares about Gu Bai, there is no love in his eyes. Gu Bai doesn't seem to care about Huo Junchuan that much... In general, the possibility of success is not high."
419 seemed relieved: "In this case, you can sleep with Huo Junchuan without any pressure."
Jian Ziyan:?
Did the pure little system just say something nasty?
419 Innocent: "Huo Junchuan is your type at first glance, tall, cold, strong and tough... Or do you prefer Gu Bai? But he looks like a submissive, and there is no future for submissives."
Jian Ziyan: "...Do you want to hear what you are saying?"
419: "No, from what you saw just now, you clearly prefer Gu Bai... Who do you like?"
Seeing that it actually began to ponder it with real emotion, Jian Ziyan could not help but return to his consciousness space, and a clear cross popped up on his forehead.
"I'm following Gu Bai because I want to figure out where he came from." He said, "Also, let me remind you that my world is just a bunch of data! How can I sleep with people? I don't even need to sleep, okay?"
"Oh, that's right." 419 finally realized the problem and said with a worried tone, "Then... can you bear it?"
"...I'm not a sex maniac." Jian Ziyan lost his temper. "Let's get down to business. Gu Bai's behavior is a bit strange. It doesn't match the character described in the original book. Pay attention to him."
In the original plot, Gu Bai was an ordinary person before he traveled through time. His education made it impossible for him to face this deformed world calmly, but he was also a bit timid, so he did things that seemed unorthodox to outsiders.
But he is essentially still an ordinary person. According to the description in the original book, he simply does not have the courage to ask Zero any questions.
Thinking of that crazy combination who had wandered off to some unknown world, Jian Ziyan's heart skipped a beat.
Whatever it is, bless him, and don't make his mediocre missions more difficult. 】

The author has something to say:
I feel like I have come to the most difficult world to write about (scratching my head like crazy)
Thank you for the birthday wishes, babies~ But my birthday is the day after tomorrow 23333
Chapter 131 The Artificial Intelligence That Destroys the World 2 Mission Impossible.
The hovercraft stopped at the entrance of a dark and narrow alley.
Even during the day, the whole city is flashing with lights of various colors. The sky above is filled with huge virtual images. Perfect-looking celebrities look down at everyone with perfect smiles, promoting the latest mechanical prosthetic eyes developed by a certain technology company.
In this kind of environment, people will unconsciously become anxious, as if someone is chasing and watching them from all directions, which is actually the case.
Gu Bai followed Huo Junchuan out of the car. He first looked up at the advertisement and said, "Huh?" "This seems to be my product. I heard my dad talk about it some time ago."
Huo Junchuan glanced at him, his mind obviously not on this, he just looked around with a frown.
Last night, Zero sent a complete route map to the two of their intelligent computers, including how to get to the laboratory where the parasites were cultivated after entering, as well as the guarding forces inside, etc.
Zero did exactly what he agreed to. Apart from the assassination after entering, he prepared everything he could think of for them.
It is difficult for Huo Junchuan to describe this feeling. To make an inappropriate analogy, it is like the bag that a child's mother prepares for him before he goes out to participate in a group activity. Not only does it have everything, but it also gives people an inexplicable sense of security and protection.
If Zero wasn't an enemy, he would have been a very powerful assistant. It's a pity that he decided to stand against humans...
Huo Junchuan was distracted for a moment, and Gu Bai's voice rang out again.
"Isn't this a garbage dump? Is this really the entrance to the legendary secret department? This is too random." The young master muttered, reaching out to touch the stones on the wall, "Do I need to touch certain fixed stones, and they will open like the door of open sesame?"
Huo Junchuan: ...
To be honest, he really didn't want to take this young master with him on the mission.
Huo Junchuan stood there calmly. Last night, Ling had not told them how to get in after arriving here, and they had no way to actively contact Ling. But he believed that from the moment they came out, Ling's eyes were on them. When they needed to contact him, Ling would definitely...
"Good morning, Huo Junchuan, Master Gu."
Zero's voice appeared in the two people's miniature headsets.
"Glad to see you guys arrived on time."
Huo Junchuan went straight to the point: "How do we get in?"
"Go inside, knock on the thirteenth brick, and then have Young Master Gu stand in front." Ling's voice was still so gentle. "The fifth district has a large investment from the Gu family, so as long as you say that it was Gu Xuan who asked Young Master Gu to come and learn about it in advance, there is an 85% chance that they will let you go."
Gu Bai was stunned for a moment: "But..."
"Gu Xuan booked a flight ticket yesterday and has arrived in Qing'an City now." Ling said, "He went to attend a product meeting there. From now on, his brain is in a shielded state. By the way, the product involved is the one that is now placed above your heads."
Gu Bai and Huo Junchuan looked up at the same time. The mechanical prosthetic eye in the star's hand flashed with a cold and gorgeous light. They didn't know if it was their illusion, but they always felt that these eyes seemed to have their own consciousness. No matter which direction they were in, they could feel that it was staring at them.
“……” Gu Bai rubbed his arms which were covered with goose bumps.
Huo Junchuan said: "You already knew that you couldn't contact Gu Xuan at this time today. You deliberately chose this time... and you also deliberately came to us at this time."
As soon as he said this, he felt a chill down his spine.
It was not difficult for Ling to know Gu Xuan's itinerary, but before deciding on the action yesterday, they changed the plan at least three times before finally setting the action yesterday, and then the next day was the assassination time chosen by Ling.
If it had been a day earlier or later, something unexpected would have happened, but he just happened to predict that they would take action yesterday.
Is this the calculation capability of top artificial intelligence?
Although it was a hot day, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Huo Junchuan's back.
Zero did not answer this question, but just said: "I can still contact you after I go in, but to avoid suspicion, you'd better not talk to me directly. If you have to say something, just type it into each other's dialog box and I can see it."
This meant that the two people's intelligent computers were completely under Zero's control, which was not surprising.
After finishing the instructions, Gu Bai took a deep breath, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and he counted to the thirteenth brick as Ling said, and knocked it down.
Suddenly, a transparent membrane rose up around them, enveloping the two of them.
"It's an interesting little technology that can disguise a small area as invisible by controlling the refraction angle of light." Zero's voice didn't change much, and it cleverly calmed the uneasiness that suddenly rose in the two people. "It's a pity that the cost is too high and it can't be used in large venues."
After this layer of membrane rose, the brick that Gu Bai had just knocked down became pseudo-transparent, and a disguised mechanical sound came out from inside.
"who?"
Gu Bai coughed lightly and put on airs: "It's me, Gu Bai, don't you recognize me?"
The person inside was silent for a moment, a little hesitant: "Master Gu Qi? What are you doing here?"
"Gu...my father asked me to come here by myself to take a look and learn a little." Gu Bai frowned, "Why, didn't he tell you?"
Pretending very much like it.
"This... Mr. Gu did not inform us in advance." The people inside did not doubt that Gu Bai was lying on purpose, but they still did not dare to let him go rashly. They said cautiously, "Seventh Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go ask the higher-ups..."
"Tsk." Gu Bai showed an extremely impatient expression, "My dad is busy in a meeting now, who do you want to ask? Don't you recognize my face or what? Forget it, I won't look at it. I'll go back and tell my dad that I can't get in."
Having said that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Now the people inside were really panicked. Everyone knew that Gu Bai was Gu Xuan's most beloved youngest son. It was said that he would most likely be chosen as the heir in the future. How could he dare to offend this ancestor?
Maybe Gu Xuan specially arranged for Gu Bai to come here to take a look, just to send out a signal...
"I'm sorry, Master Seven, I'll let you in right away." The person inside said, "Excuse me, who is this person next to you?"
Gu Bai retracted his foot and showed an expression of "this is better than not": "This is my...bodyguard."
The people inside looked at Huo Junchuan's tall and indifferent appearance and believed this statement without a doubt.
I passed the first level very smoothly, and Zero's voice rang out at the right time.
"Very quick reaction, Master Gu. You did better than I expected."
Gu Bai was pretending to be a qualified second-generation rich kid and couldn't reply. Ling didn't expect him to reply either. He recorded the analysis of Gu Bai's behavior this time and rarely felt doubtful again.
Another miscalculation.
If the whole world is a huge and tight machine, everyone is a part inside it, and he knows the running trajectory of the parts, but Gu Bai is like a part that was running properly and suddenly went off track.
He escapes from the rigorous machine and disguises himself as a normal part, often confusing Zero.
Zero was thinking while processing information from all over the world at the same time, and paying attention to the two people who had entered the fifth area, and he was still able to handle it with ease.
"We have already notified Minister Wendens, and he will be here soon." The man guarding the door showed a flattering smile, "Seventh Young Master, please take a rest first, how about having a drink?"
Zero: "Said you guys want to go shopping on your own."
Gu Bai immediately showed an even more impatient expression: "Why are you so annoying? You were just talking about this and that. Do I need you to tell me what to do now?"
The man's flattering smile froze on his face.
It is said that the seventh young master of the Gu family has a gentle and weak temper, but it seems...not quite the same as the rumors say.
He swallowed his anger and said, "Yes, yes, Master Seventh, please feel free to look at it."
Even though they are a federal government department and Gu Bai is just the son of a chaebol, they can only bow down and behave themselves in front of him. This is the magical deformity brought about by the chaebol's control of the world.
The man didn't dare to disturb them anymore, and Ling's voice also disappeared at the same time. Gu Bai didn't know what to do, so he had to pretend to be very interested in the surroundings and walked slowly with Huo Junchuan.
Soon, a young man with blond hair and green eyes, who looked gentle and refined, came over. He wore a pair of glasses with a silver metal chain hanging down his handsome cheek.
"Hello, Master Seven, I'm Wendens."
Gu Bai looked him up and down, and said with a lack of interest: "You are Jacob."
Wenden, who had a look of doubt on his face, suddenly relaxed his expression.
His existence is very special. Even the federal documents only refer to him as Windens. The name Jacob is only known to his collaborators and the top person. Since Gu Bai knows this name, it seems that it was indeed Gu Xuan who told him.
He did not doubt that Gu Bai was Ling's man. After all, in his impression, Ling did not use just anyone, and this arrogant young master was obviously not qualified.
"Yes, Master Seventh." Wendens said, "Master Seventh, what do you want to see here?"
At this time, Zero's voice returned: "Go to the parasite's cultivation room."
"My father asked me to come and see the parasites, and told me to learn about them in advance." Gu Bai said, "Take me to see them quickly so that I can report to him after we finish. Don't waste my time."
With a flash of light on his unilateral glasses, Wendens glanced at Huo Junchuan, who was standing behind Gu Bai with a very low presence, and said, "The existence of parasites is top secret. It's fine if the Seventh Young Master wants to see it, but Mr. Bodyguard, I'll have to trouble him to wait here for the time being."
"Promise him." Zero said.
"What a hassle." Gu Bai muttered. He looked at Huo Junchuan, "Then you just wait here. I'll be back soon."
The two men split up into two groups, and Gu Bai followed Wendens alone. He sighed and thought that after Gu Xuan came back, his undercover identity would probably no longer be hidden.
He felt a little complicated. Although Gu Xuan was his cheap father, he treated him very well. If Gu Xuan was not a capitalist who stepped on the flesh and blood of countless people, he might have played the role of a loving father and a filial son all his life.
He was distracted while paying attention to the movement in the headset, but Zero seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and did not issue any instructions until he entered the culture room.
Gu Bai's attention was completely attracted by the things in front of him.
It's called a culture room, but there's no light on inside. There are only five huge upright culture dishes in the room. The bright green liquid inside makes the whole room look eerie.
And in each petri dish, there was a huge, transparent, deformed object soaking inside.
It looks like an undeveloped human placenta, or an octopus that has been chopped into meat paste, or a mass of tissue without bones or flesh, but it is dyed with green fluorescence, which makes it look particularly weird.
"This..." Gu Bai was shocked.
"These are parasites," Wendens said. "They divide themselves, reduce their size, and then regenerate themselves. They are an inexhaustible treasure, and that's what we're studying first."
Gu Bai looked at him. There was only an expression of academic inquiry on this gentle face, not the fanaticism he had imagined.
Gu Bai asked a question he really wanted to know: "How did this thing appear?"
"No one knows how they appeared. They were first discovered in a fishing village on the coast of Morro. The people there make a living by fishing. One day, a fisherman brought one back from the sea, but no one knew about it." In this environment, Wendens' voice was tinged with a ghostly aura. "When people realized something was wrong, everyone in the village had died. Only the fisherman who brought it back in the beginning survived. After examination, his mental signals were severely disordered. It was obvious that he was under some kind of control, but he couldn't understand the voice controlling him, so he went crazy."
In the cool cultivation room, Gu Bai felt a chill.
"Later, we searched the entire sea area and found a total of five of these creatures," Wendens said. "No one knows where they came from, Master Seventh. Maybe they are not from this world at all."
Gu Bai shuddered: "...Then how can we use them to control people?"
"Just through this." Wendens patted the nearest person.
A petri dish, "the liquid inside is connected to the biological signals of the parasite, and the data can show the situation of each split body, and they can be artificially interfered with separately."
This sounded really scary. Gu Bai was silent for a moment, vaguely feeling that there seemed to be the shadow of Zero behind this scary technological means.
He was moved and asked, "Who has the final say on this matter now? You or my dad?"
He didn't know if Ling was still watching, so he didn't dare ask about Taimin's things.
The gloomy green light was reflected on Windens's lenses, and Gu Bai could feel his gaze fixed on him.
"I'm just a researcher, Master Seven." Wendens said, "Whether it's controlled by the Federation or the chaebol has nothing to do with me. I'm only responsible for taking good care of them and providing mature clones when you need them. That's my job."
It seemed like an answer, but also like nothing was answered.
This Wendens is not easy to deal with.
Gu Bai walked closer to the petri dish, and looked at the contents carefully while suppressing his nausea. In fact, he was stalling for time, waiting for Zero's instructions.
But he didn't wait for that gentle voice that had become somewhat familiar.
When they were still in partnership, Ling was so reliable. Now that he disappeared, Gu Bai actually felt a little uneasy.
His mind was racing.
The task given to them by Zero was to assassinate Wendens, but without Huo Junchuan present, he knew very well that he could not kill a person at all.
The mission deadline is seven days. Is it destined to fail today?
But if he didn't act today, what reason would he have to come in tomorrow? By then, his identity as a traitor would probably have been exposed.
However, now that Windens was standing behind him, he couldn't type on the smart computer at all.
Gu Bai lowered his eyelids, his eyeballs moving around in thought. After waiting for a while, there was still no sound of Ling, so he let out a breath softly.
"This thing is so ugly, the more I look at it, the more uncomfortable I feel." He said, "Let's go out."
Wendens naturally had no objection.
【Jian Ziyan: "This Wendens really looks down on me. What kind of rubbish is he using to try to stop me? It's really hard to pretend to be stopped."
419: "It's not that he looks down on you, it's that you are actually connected to me. No matter how powerful Zero is, he can't compare to me, who was created by a higher-dimensional creature. I passively improved your abilities. If it were the real Zero, he would indeed be powerless and furious now."
Jian Ziyan was very surprised, and said in a tone that said, "My son has finally made it big," "Xiaojiu, you finally made a difference!"
"......?" 419, "Are you scolding me?"
"No, I'm praising you." Jian Ziyan said, "Wendens now knows that I followed him in, but his first suspicion should not be Gu Bai. Let me think about it... I know what to do."
Coming out of that eerie and dark culture room and seeing normal lights again made Gu Bai feel like he was seeing the light of day again.
"Seventh Master, in addition to parasites, we are also researching something else here that is much more interesting than parasites." Wendens said, "Are you interested in taking a look?"
Gu Bai really wanted to refuse, but the reason he used when he came in was that Gu Xuan asked him to come in to visit the school and he couldn't just look at one and leave.
He nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
With a smile on his face, Wendens called a researcher and told him to accompany Master Gu Qi well, then said apologetically: "Master Qi, I have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you for now."
Gu Bai had no reason to force him to stay.
Watching Gu Bai leave with the others, the smile on Wendens' face gradually faded, and he turned to look in the direction of Huo Junchuan.
…
Huo Junchuan wanted to look around. After all, he had never heard of the Fifth District before. Now that he knew about it, he wanted to investigate the place.
But his current identity is just a bodyguard, and a bodyguard should not be so curious. Walking around casually will only arouse suspicion.
He had no choice but to sit here and wait for Gu Bai to come back.
Strangely, Zero's voice never appeared again.
He did not have to wait long before Wendens returned.
Huo Junchuan stood up and looked around. He did not see Gu Bai and felt awed.
"Master Seven is a little tired from watching just now, so I asked you to go find him." Wendens said to him, "Please follow me."
Huo Junchuan hesitated for a moment. According to his status, he should not have any doubts about Wendens, so he slightly relaxed his hand that was about to take out the gun and followed him away.
Windens led him into a room.
As soon as he stepped in, Huo Junchuan's nerves instantly tensed up. He cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" and immediately turned around to subdue Wendens, but he was still a step too late.
With a few crackling sounds, several beams of light dropped from the sky and trapped him in a small space. There were crackling electric lights on the light beams, and it was obvious that there would be terrible consequences if he touched them.
Huo Junchuan was trapped in this prison.
He no longer concealed the fierceness in his eyes and looked directly at Wendens: "What does this mean? Where is Gu Bai?"
"He's just a fake bodyguard. Are you really worried about that young master?" Wendens said leisurely. "Although I don't know how you managed to sneak into the Gu family and become the bodyguard of the most beloved Seventh Young Master, your identity has been exposed since you came in, Commander Huo."
Huo Junchuan looked at him coldly.
There are two pieces of information in this sentence. One is that his identity has been exposed and may have been linked to Zero. The other is that Gu Bai's identity has not been exposed and he is safe for the time being.
Sure enough, the next sentence of Wendens was: "I haven't heard that the resistance army has surrendered to Zero?"
"How did you know?" Huo Junchuan asked back, "My identity has always been very secret. Unless it is an artificial intelligence like Zero, there is absolutely no way it can recognize me."
"Zero is indeed very powerful, but unfortunately, he has become an outdated product." Wendens said, "Let me solemnly introduce the new artificial intelligence developed by our Fifth District, No. 13."
Immediately, a cold male voice sounded in Huo Junchuan's headset.
"Hello, Huo Junchuan."
Huo Junchuan's expression changed slightly.
"You guessed right." Wendens said, "This is an artificial intelligence developed based on the manuscript of Master Jian, who created Zero, combined with today's new technology. It is based on Zero, but it is more evolved than Zero. In addition, it has not yet developed a good tool for self-awareness. It is much more useful than Zero."
Huo Junchuan was incredulous: "You dare to develop such an advanced artificial intelligence? Aren't you afraid of giving birth to another zero?"
The reason why the rebels only created artificial intelligence at the level of Morpheus is not because that is the only capability they have, but because they believe that this world ultimately belongs to humans and they do not want to give artificial intelligence more power.
"No artificial intelligence can escape the control of its father, Commander Huo. As long as I am alive, Thirteen will never rebel." Wendens said, "Of course, if Master Jian was still alive, Zero would not have the chance to be so arrogant."
Huo Junchuan's Adam's apple moved slightly. He swallowed down his shock and said in a deep voice, "Why did you tell me this secret? Do you want me to be the one who knows everything?"
Wendens smiled: "No, there is no need for us to be enemies, Commander Huo, if you need Zero, then No. 13 can also meet your needs perfectly. Our interests do not conflict."
"You want to... recruit me?" Huo Junchuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "No, you are lying. No. 13 cannot completely replace Zero, otherwise you would not disguise this place as a tight fortress, but sit in the president's seat."
Wendens was silent for a moment, then sighed, "As expected of Commander Huo. I like smart collaborators."
"You are right. Thirteen cannot completely replace Zero now, but it is only one step away from this goal."
"I think you can help me take this step, Commander Huo."
