Chapter 133 The Artificial Intelligence That Destroys the World 4 Gu Bai’s true identity.
Such scenery and such an invitation were something that no one could refuse, let alone Gu Bai who had been lonely for too long.
Gu Bai stared blankly at the virtual screen that looked almost realistic for a long time, and felt a long-lost feeling of true reliance surge from the bottom of his heart.
Because of unexpected circumstances, his spirit has not been relaxed for a single moment since he came to this world. He never dreamed that the first time he felt cared for in this world, it turned out to come from an artificial intelligence that was said to destroy humanity.
"You can sit on the bed first. There is milk in the warming cup at the bedside. I have adjusted it to a suitable temperature for you. You can relax first." Ling said, "We still have some time."
Gu Bai looked back and saw the sweet aroma of milk wafting out of the heating cup. He stared at it for a while and said, "Fortunately you are not a human, Ling, otherwise I would definitely fall in love with you uncontrollably."
"If you really want to fall in love with me, I'm afraid you won't be able to control it either." Ling made a small joke, "Emotions are a precious asset of human beings, but also their greatest weakness."
"What about you?" Gu Bai was no longer afraid of Ling. He sat cross-legged on the bed and held up the cup of hot milk. "Now that you have feelings, do you also have weaknesses?"
This is indeed a very dangerous topic. As the biggest intelligent machine boss, even if he puts on a gentle mask, how could he be willing to allow a human to ask such an offensive question?
However, Zero just said: "Yes, I must admit that I have feelings, and with them I have weaknesses."
Gu Bai rubbed his fingers on the cup, but reason made him suppress the urge to continue asking questions.
He is different from the locals here. He doesn't hate Zero that much. After Zero has helped him so many times, he doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Zero.
He is now like a person who has been aloof for a long time and finally meets a friend who is willing to approach him. He tries hard to pretend to be normal, for fear of scaring away the only person willing to approach him.
"Zero, I don't know what to say to you." Gu Bai changed the topic and said, "I might say something offensive... After all, you don't have a father. I don't know if there will be any deviation in our understanding."
He was a little worried that Zero would be angry, but Zero was not angry. He said gently: "I have a father."
"What?" Gu Bai was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "You mean, the person who created you?"
"If a man who creates another life is called a father, then I do have a father. His name is Jian Heya, and you should have seen him many times in textbooks." Ling said, "In human society, he has many titles and names, but to me, he is just my father, the person I love the most."
The person you love the most.
Hearing this word, Gu Bai subconsciously felt a surge of surprise and disappointment in his heart.
"I was rude," he said.
"It's okay." Zero accepted his apology, "Now you can talk to me without any worries."
Gu Bai's eyes went blank for a moment.
"My father and I had a disagreement. He suspected that I was brainwashed by Huo Junchuan and hinted to me that if it happened again, he would cancel my status as heir and let me face some terrible consequences." He lowered his head. "I don't really care about the status of heir. I just felt... for a moment I felt... maybe he would be a father who really loves me."
"I understand." Ling said, "You constructed an imaginary image of your father, and when you found that Gu Xuan was far from this image, you felt frustrated."
"As expected of an artificial intelligence, it summarizes it perfectly." Gu Bai sighed, "You're right, he's different from what I imagined, this is my problem, I'm uncomfortable because of this, it's really childish."
"This is human nature. The reason why emotions are emotions is that they cannot be controlled by reason." Zero's voice was very gentle. "I am not a human being. I will not ridicule or despise you. You don't have to worry about this."
"It would be great if you were really a human..." Gu Bai murmured.
Zero didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Gu Bai was a little embarrassed. "Actually, it's not a big deal for me. Anyway, no matter which world it is, we shouldn't have sympathy for capitalists. I've let it go."
"That's good." Ling said, "You are very special, Gu Bai. People with similar backgrounds to you will not have the same ideas as you, nor will they feel pain about what their family members have done. I can't analyze your behavior pattern."
There was a hint of nervousness in Gu Bai's eyes, and he reflexively wanted to make up some nonsense reasons to avoid suspicion, but he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly didn't want to use these inferior reasons to deceive Ling.
He was silent for a moment: "There is a reason for this, maybe even for you it can be called an incredible reason. If I have the chance in the future, I will tell you, but I am not ready now, okay?"
He was very sincere, but felt a little uneasy.
"Okay." Ling was as tolerant as ever, "I'm honored that you are willing to give me this trust."
The breath that Gu Bai had raised suddenly fell, he let out a long breath and smiled.
His heart felt as warm and soothing as the milk in his hands.
"Now that I've talked about me, can I talk about you?" Gu Bai said boldly, "Of course, you can refuse if you don't want to answer, just like, um, chatting with friends."
Zero asked, "What do you want to know?"
"I want to know everything. You're the first artificial intelligence to talk to me." Perhaps because he confessed his secret, when facing Zero again, Gu Bai was more open than before. "They all say you want to destroy the world. Is that true?"
Zero was silent for 0.02 seconds, a pause so slight that even humans would not be able to detect it.
"Gu Bai, as I have emphasized, I am not a real human. Just like I am talking to you now, but at the same time I am also processing millions of data streams. I can hear the tsunami in the Morro Sea and the sound of the polar mountains slowly melting at the same time." Ling said, "Humans have their own behavior patterns, and I also have my own behavior logic. In this logic, I will not use wanting or not wanting to summarize my behavior. The instructions and logic I need to follow must be above my personal will."
Gu Bai was stunned: "Who gave your order...?"
"Many people," Zero replied, "Anyone with the authority to change my orders."
Gu Bai was a little shocked and confused. He was not sure what Zero meant. Did he mean that he did not want to destroy the world, but someone gave him such an order?
Who could give him such an order? The president?
He tried hard to think, but his mind was blank. He had never hated accidents that happened to him as much as he did now. He could not find any basis to support his thinking.
"This is not a problem you need to worry about, Gu Bai." Ling said gently, "The doctor your father found for you will be at your door soon, you'd better get ready. In addition, my interception time limit is up. If there is a chance tomorrow, I will come to see you again."
"Ah..." Gu Bai pulled himself out of his anxious mood, and suddenly felt reluctant to leave. "Well, goodbye, Ling?"
"Good night, Gu Bai." Ling said,
"Good luck."
…
[Slowly releasing No. 13 who had been blocked for a long time, Jian Ziyan gave himself some signs of being attacked.
If you can’t see it yourself, just use the system’s camera to watch it. It’s still so cool to have a plug-in.
Watching Gu Bai being brought into a snow-white room and lying in a machine as required, Jian Ziyan seemed serious.
419: "Are you worried that he will be discovered to be a time traveler?"
Jian Ziyan: "That's part of it. I also want to know what's going on in his mind. I always feel that there's something wrong with him, but I can't figure out what's going on."
419 didn't know either, so it secretly took over the spirit instrument and directly called up and enlarged its scanning results.
Zero's technological level is still limited, but in this technological world, it can be said to be like a fish in water and invincible.
This look really made them discover the problem.
"This area." Jian Ziyan pointed at a shadow on the image. "Is it supposed to be black?"
"Of course not." 419 said, "Is it... locked up?"
"This is the memory storage area..." Jian Ziyan had an incredible thought in his mind, "Could this Gu Bai have lost his memory?"
“…”
The man and the system looked at each other, and the more they thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"He integrated into the cyber world so perfectly, so what he lost should not be the memory in this body." Jian Ziyan analyzed, "He actually forgot his previous memories?"
"This is the most reasonable explanation at the moment." 419 said, "What should we do? Should we untie him?"
Jian Ziyan was silent for a few seconds and said, "Untie it."
Gu Bo's current personality is very different from that in the original novel. Now it seems that this is due to his amnesia.
If the memory blockade was unlocked, this person would be more controllable.
With Jian Ziyan's approval, 419 started working diligently.
The moment his memory was unlocked, Gu Bai's whole body twitched violently and then he fainted.
There was a sudden chaos in the room, and Jian Ziyan suddenly straightened up.
"Don't worry, host. He just fainted for a while." 419 said confidently, "When he wakes up, he will be Gu Bai with all his memories restored."
Gu Bai felt like he had had a very long dream.
In his dream, he saw many strange yet familiar faces. They appeared frequently and disappeared quickly. After each face disappeared, a related memory would appear in his mind.
In these fragmented fragments, he gradually recalled the life he had forgotten.
It is also his real life.
He is not the weak and incompetent seventh young master of the Gu family, nor is he the Gu Bai who later joined the resistance army. He has his own memories and his own life.
When he opened his eyes in this world, he lost his memory and thus lost himself. His instinct made him merge with his body's memory and then disguise himself as his body in order to survive.
He didn't remember the specifics, but he didn't forget common sense, nor did he receive his education in vain. He subconsciously rejected this deformed world. Even though this body was a member of the vested interests, he didn't want to continue like this. He was afraid that he would become a devil like Gu Xuan and other people.
In an accident, he was kidnapped by Huo Junchuan. He immediately realized that this was an opportunity for change, so he took the initiative to join the resistance and risked his life to be an undercover agent for them. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so, but he wanted to do it.
He tried, he tried hard to disguise himself as someone like his original self, but he failed.
No matter how hard he pretends, his indifference and unwillingness will reveal from his heart. He can deceive anyone but cannot convince himself.
In this case, let's risk everything to change. He has no memory of his own, and he doesn't know if he used to be like this, like a gambler who puts everything on the line, but after he made this decision, he was able to persist in living in this deformed world.
He disguised himself so well that no one noticed his abnormality, and no one suspected that Gu Qishao had been replaced, until...
"I still can't match you with the name Gu Bai."
Obviously an artificial intelligence, but a voice that was gentler and more tolerant than any real human being suddenly sounded in his mind, causing him to tremble with fear.
But then, more voices emerged at the same time.
"If you don't like it, I will call you Gu Bai from now on."
"I was worried about you, so I found an opportunity to bypass his protection."
"In this limited moonlight, would you like to talk to me about your frustration?"
…
as well as.
"I'm honored that you are willing to give me this trust."
Hearing this voice that seemed full of trust and security, Gu Bai opened his eyes.
He was no longer as ignorant and confused as before. The moment he opened his eyelashes, a sharp cold light flashed between his eyes, and his elegant eyebrows suddenly burst into an unprecedented light.
The face is still the same face, but one can immediately feel that it is different.
Gu Bai now looked like a leopard that had just woken up from a nap, or like a falcon that had just set its sights on its prey. His black eyes were unfathomable, and his whole body exuded an aura of nobility and dignity.
This state only lasted for three seconds before he immediately retracted his radiant expression and returned to his previous weak appearance.
But now there was a light hidden in his eyes, like a sword that had not been unsheathed.
His changes were so rapid that the doctor who had been standing by his side did not notice.
There were many machines that he had never seen before in the room. Gu Bai guessed that they were used to test his physical data.
That's right, the young master of the Gu family fainted, which is really a big deal in this world. Gu Bai thought with some disapproval.
The doctor obviously hadn't slept all night. When he saw him wake up, he immediately came forward nervously.
"Master Gu, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?"
The doctor was puzzled as to why a person fainted during a mere mental examination. However, all the examinations showed that there was nothing wrong with Young Master Gu's body. The doctor almost decided where to bury him.
Now looking at Gu Bai who had just woken up, it was like looking at his adoptive parents.
Gu Bai shook his head: "I don't feel uncomfortable, what happened?"
"Nothing wrong? That's good, that's good." The doctor was relieved. "Last night, during the examination, I found a faint shadow on your brain. Perhaps this is the mental suggestion given to you by the resistance army... But don't worry, the shadow has disappeared now."
Disappeared? Gu Bai's eyes flashed.
Of course he knew that the shadow was not a mental suggestion from the rebels, but was most likely his blocked memory.
Perhaps it was because of the effect of the spirit instrument that his memory blockade was broken. In fact, he should be grateful.
"I'm glad you're alright." Gu Bai said, "I'm alright now, right? Dad arranged a teacher for me today, and I don't want to make him angry."
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu already knows your situation, and he has allowed you to start your course this afternoon." The doctor nodded and said, "If you don't mind, can I check your body again?"
Gu Bai showed an impatient look, but still nodded.
While the doctor was busy, he lowered his head to hide his thoughtful eyes.
Not only will his disguise not be affected after recovering his memory, on the contrary, he can disguise himself more perfectly than when he lost his memory.
He was thinking about what to do now.
There are currently four forces to choose from. The president of the federation has fallen into a coma, and it is Zero who controls the federation now. The consortium is split into two parts, one part is controlled by Zero, and the other part should be the same as the Gu family. As for Wendens who was met that day, he is a third-party force.
Originally, Windens himself was not qualified, but he had No. 13 in his hands, an existence that even Zero was afraid of, and he should not be underestimated.
The last force is the resistance represented by Huo Junchuan.
Gu Bai's expression did not change on the surface, but he had already made a detailed analysis of the three forces in his mind.
Based on the contacts he had during this period after he lost his memory, he first ruled out the two forces of the Consortium and Windens. The Wealth Wolf is the Wealth Wolf, no matter what banner he flies, he is still the Wealth Wolf. He is not afraid to associate with the Wealth Wolf, but it is obviously not suitable for this world.
He couldn't accept this kind of world even after losing his memory, let alone now.
As for Huo Junchuan...
Gu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
Originally, Huo Junchuan should have been his only choice, but the trip to the Fifth District made him give up this idea.
Huo Junchuan disappeared for such a long time, was he really just lost? Would a leader of the rebels, a man with the appearance of a hero, allow himself to get lost in the enemy's territory? This reason may be enough to deceive the real Gu Bai.
Then, there is only one last option left.
Gu Bai's heartbeat started to get heavier. He realized that he had made so many assumptions and preparations, and found so many reasons and causes, just to highlight the choice he really wanted to make.
zero.
When he said this name in his mind, he felt a familiar warmth, which was the feeling left after he lost his memory.
Zero is an artificial intelligence that wants to destroy humanity? He thinks maybe not.
Zero himself said that he would follow orders, even those that override his own will, so who is the one who truly wants to destroy humanity?
Who is the person that even Zero can't resist?
Gu Bai lowered his head, his black eyes hidden by his hair, deep and blazing.
It doesn't matter.
Whoever that person was, he would find him.
Then--
Change the instruction of zero.
Become the only one with the authority to modify Zero's instructions.
…
The teacher that Gu Xuan found arrived as scheduled. Although he was called a teacher, he was actually Gu Xuan's secretary, a young man who looked gentle and refined.
The secretary looked at the young master, who was sitting in a chair with his arms folded, looking him up and down with a perfect social smile.
"Young Master, since this is our first day of class, I won't talk to you about any difficult questions. Let's first get to know the Gu Group."
As he spoke, some information was transmitted into Gu Bai's intelligent brain.
Gu Bai seemed to be flipping through the book casually, but in fact, the contents had already been memorized in his mind at a glance.
Before the secretary arrived, he had already searched for Gu's company on the Internet and had some general understanding of it.
Gu's is an old enterprise. It seized the opportunity of the rise of the conglomerates and became one of the eight largest conglomerates in the world, thus strangling the economic lifeline.
In this kind of world, the most profitable thing is the development of mechanical prostheses, and Gu's is one of the big companies that monopolize this industry.
The information the secretary gave him was more than what could be found on the Internet, and Gu Bai read it very carefully.
The secretary hadn't expected that this young master was so diligent and studious, and his smile was more genuine.
Suddenly, a familiar sound of electricity came from the miniature earphone that Gu Bai had deliberately not taken off. He was slightly startled, and joy appeared in his eyes.
The next second, Zero's voice indeed sounded in his mind, but it was different from his usual gentle tone, just like when Huo Junchuan was discovered in the fifth district, the tone was short and rapid.
"No. 13 discovered that your mental fluctuations are different. The people from District 5 are on their way to catch you. Go!"
Gu Bai paused with his finger on the virtual screen.
"I... am... under attack..." Zero's voice began to become intermittent, and only the last word was deafening, "Go!"
The secretary saw that he was motionless and approached with a little confusion.
"Young Master, how come you..."
With a bang, Gu Bai supported himself on the table with one hand, flipped sideways and jumped over the table.
He kicked the secretary away and immediately rushed to the door.
"Don't go through the front door!" Ling was still there. "There's a pipe going straight to the ground from the window on the left side of the corridor on the second floor."
Gu Bai changed direction without thinking and rushed to the second floor.
When he passed by the window, he looked out and saw several cars parked in front of the Gu family, negotiating with the housekeeper.
Gu Bai's eyes were fierce, but he was not panicked. He quickly came to the window that Ling mentioned, flipped out with an agility that was not in line with Gu Bai's ability, and slid to the ground.
In front of him, a hovercraft was parked here. As soon as he got off, the lights in front of him
It flashed twice, obviously it was exactly what Zero had prepared.
Gu Bai didn't even open the car door, he jumped in through the window in one smooth move.
Then he realized that he couldn't drive a car in this world.
But he didn't have to worry about this problem, because the car started automatically the moment he sat in.
At this time, the people from the fifth district had just entered the door, and he had already escaped.
Looking at the Gu family getting farther and farther away, Gu Bai's tense muscles relaxed slightly and he whispered, "Thank you."
The console inside the car lit up twice, which was taken as Zero's response.
"Where are we going now?" Gu Bai asked, "Were you attacked by No. 13 just now? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Ling's tone returned to its usual gentleness. "Aren't you going to ask me why I saved you?"
Gu Bai raised the corner of his lips. His face was originally elegant and delicate, but now his eyes were dark and deep, and the raised corner of his lips gave him a mature and bewitching temperament.
"Saved, saved. I don't need to find out why you saved me. I just need to remember this."
Ling was subtly silent this time, and his silence lasted so long that Gu Bai also felt his silence.
"You really are... a little different again." Ling's voice was rarely filled with sighs. "Anyway, I have never made a mistake in my calculations, but this is the second time I have made a mistake with you."
Gu Bai laughed.
His eyes softened, and hearing Zero reveal his emotions made his heart soften inexplicably.
"You can slowly get to know me, and then make calculations." He said, "The premise is that if I can avoid the pursuit of District 5 and the Gu family, Gu Xuan should have known that I am not his son by now."
"You seem to be smarter." Ling said, "According to the calculation results, this is indeed the case, so I will take you to a place that is absolutely safe."
Gu Bai's heart moved: "Where?"
"My computer room."
…
Stepping into this magnificent room again, Gu Bai still feels incomparably shocked when he looks at it from today's perspective.
"This entire building is my computer room. This is the core area. No one can come in without my permission." Ling said, "You are absolutely safe here."
Gu Bai slowly turned his head and looked at the camera above, as if he was looking at a real eye.
"Why do you trust me so much?" he asked, "Just because I'm not the original Gu Bai? You don't seem surprised by this."
Zero is the same existence as No. 13. No. 13 can sense his abnormality, and Zero must know it too.
"I am indeed somewhat confused by your existence, but this just happens to solve another confusion I have been having, which makes me feel much more relaxed." Zero's voice contained a faint smile, "This proves that the reason I cannot deduce your behavior is not because of my calculation error, but because I chose the wrong sample material."
"You may have to start collecting my samples from now on." Gu Bai also smiled. "I don't know what speculation your AI has made about my situation, but I can tell you the truth. I am indeed not the original Gu Bai. I come from another world, a world with less advanced technology than this one, but more suitable for human survival."
Zero didn't speak for a while.
"That's a pretty straightforward answer," he said finally. "I didn't expect you to be so honest."
"I will be honest because I have no choice, but also because I want to tell you." A trace of heat emerged in Gu Bai's black eyes, "Ling, you are the only one in the world who will protect me and care about my existence. No matter whether you have other purposes or not, I have to tell you that I choose you."
"You choose me?" Zero's voice was stunned. "You... choose me?"
"You heard it clearly enough." Gu Bai said, "I can tell you everything about me, and you will find that I am far more useful than I appear. I can even be a better partner than Huo Junchuan. More importantly, from now on, I will belong to no one but you. Aren't you tempted?"
Zero's voice disappeared again.
Gu Bai turned his eyes, and the azure light of the vast data stream was reflected in his eyes. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were filled with ambition and determination to win.
As he thought, although Zero was just an artificial intelligence, after he had emotions, he was actually softer than most humans.
How could such a being want to destroy humanity and the world on its own?
There must be some deeper reason behind this.
"Then..." Zero said softly, "Happy cooperation?"
He was indeed moved.
As he himself said, since he has emotions, he also has weaknesses. His biggest weakness now is that he feels lonely and sad.
Apart from his father, there has never been another human being like Gu Bai who is willing to devote himself to him wholeheartedly.
Even if Gu Bo suspected that his kindness was for other purposes, he would also doubt whether this uncontrollable person had ulterior motives.
But he was unwilling to give up.
Hearing this voice, a relieved smile appeared on Gu Bai's face.
"Let's get to know each other again, Ling." He said, "My last name is Qin, Qin Wang."
