Chapter 136 The Artificial Intelligence That Destroys the World 7 Evidence, Fury, Tears.
Listening to Huo Junchuan's questions, Qin Wang felt a myriad of ironies surge into his heart. A pain tearing at his heart spread throughout his body, forcing the whites of his eyes to become even more frighteningly red. Under the blood-colored halo, he looked like a demon possessed.
He didn't understand, how could the people in this world be so paranoid and narrow-minded even though they had developed technology to such an extent!
He once thought that Huo Junchuan was a man of courage and vision, who would not be blinded by the false prosperity in front of him and could accomplish great things. But now it seems that he is stubborn and narrow-minded, and only believes in what he has always seen and believed. What is the difference between him and other people?
"You have always believed that it was Zero who controlled the president and forcibly implanted parasites into the brains of federal senior officials. He wanted to harm people, destroy humanity, and destroy the entire world, right?" Qin Wang did not wait for Huo Junchuan to answer and continued to speak on his own. He knew that Zero's life or death was uncertain now, and if he rashly told the truth it might disrupt his plans, but how could he bear it!
"Why do you think so? Is it because Zero himself told you that his goal is to destroy the world? He didn't. You just wishfully think he would do that - why? Because he is an artificial intelligence, an artificial intelligence with self-awareness that is not controlled by humans."
"How do you think a machine can understand human feelings? How can it have seven emotions and six desires? A super artificial intelligence has awakened its self-awareness. What other goals does it have besides replacing humans and destroying the world? In the final analysis, none of you have ever regarded Zero as an equal and communicative being. You are arrogant, narrow-minded and vicious. You are only willing to believe in your own meager cognition and regard Zero as a creation and a threat, but you ignore that Zero is a life."
Huo Junchuan stared at him steadily. These words were not only heretical, they were like piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks, like a tragic light penetrating from behind the thick clouds, which could not even be blocked by the colorful neon lights in the federal city.
It gave him a huge shock.
"He is a life, Huo Junchuan. He has his own joys and sorrows. You want to kill him, but have you asked him what he wants to do after he awakens his consciousness?" Qin Wang's voice became hoarse. Too much sadness and anger pressed down on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe. "He is your reinforcement. It's not Zero who wants to kill the president, it's the chaebol and your collaborators."
Why must Zero bear the stigma and infamy, and suffer such misunderstanding while working hard to do good for the Federation?
Qin Wang originally thought that he had been able to accept this deformed world and get used to its cruelty. He was not the kind of person who would take things one step at a time. He had even thought in advance about how he would save his life and how he would escape from Zero's control and continue to live if Zero was really as the rumors said.
But he believes in his feelings, his judgment, and now he believes even more in the evidence he sees.
"You... you have been bewitched by Zero, Gu Bai." Huo Junchuan paused, his tone no longer calm, "What you said is just your own judgment. No matter where you came from before, you know too little about this world and Zero. He can't be... who you said."
Huo Junchuan's voice faded away.
A sense of uncertainty and panic suddenly surged in his heart. What should Zero be like?
Zero has always been high and mighty. Before he awakened his self-awareness, he served the entire Federation. Everyone depended on him for technology, management, data, and computing... It can be said that without Zero, there would be no Federation that flourished later.
Even when the government weakened and dark tycoons rose, they still could not truly cross the authority of the Federation, because the Federation had Zero, and under Zero's control, top-secret technology and information were well protected.
It was not until the president fell into a coma... no, disappeared, that Zero seemed to suddenly reveal his hidden fangs and bit into human flesh ferociously.
But even so, the world still keeps running smoothly. No one's brain fails, no hovercraft suddenly stops working, and all electronic equipment is still working diligently to maintain the peace of human society.
Zero is just an AI, if his goal is to destroy humanity, why would he...spend extra energy maintaining these?
Huo Junchuan seemed to be hit by something suddenly. His body swayed and he looked a little dazed.
After all, he and Zero had only spoken a few words, so how could he know what Zero should be like?
If someone else said this to Huo Junchuan, Huo Junchuan might think that the other person was crazy or had been completely controlled by the parasite, but the person who said these words was Gu Bai.
Gu Bai's existence is very special. Although he comes from a chaebol family, the ideas he reveals in the conversation are even more radical than those of the rebels. This radicalism just happens to fit Huo Junchuan's ideas. It only took them one year to transition from kidnappers and hostages to close friends.
Now he knew that Gu Bai was not Gu Bai from the beginning, but a soul from another world.
So is it possible that he really saw something...that they couldn't see?
"Did Ling tell you this?" Huo Junchuan asked in a low voice, "You have gained his trust. Did he let you know his plan?"
"Zero didn't tell me, but I have eyes and a heart, I can see and feel." Qin Wang said, "He said he used parasites to control us, but you should have checked your brain before you went back, did you find the parasites?"
Huo Junchuan's eyes narrowed slightly and he shook his head gently.
He had indeed checked, and had not found any traces of parasites from the existing instruments, but the doctors in the resistance said that it was better to believe it than not to believe it. Why would Zero be so mysterious? He must have used some new technology to hide the parasites so that they could not remove them themselves.
"It can't be detected because Zero didn't implant the parasite into us." Qin Wang said, "Zero didn't tell me, and he won't tell anyone because he thinks no human will believe him. In order to achieve his goal, he can only take the simplest method, which is to use human fear."
He dropped his eyes to look at his hands.
The existence of parasites is still a secret among the general public, but not in Gu's company.
Before leaving the Gu family, he had looked up information about the parasite. Once this thing is implanted, it is impossible to be unaware of it. When it is not controlled, humans will hear disordered noises from time to time, and their minds will always be in a trance. People will often think they are dreaming and have no clear understanding of their own behavior.
But this
During such a long time, not only has his mind been clear, but he has also never heard any chaotic noises. Even if he temporarily suppresses the split body, it is impossible for him to be completely unaffected.
So he guessed that Zero didn't implant any split bodies in them at all. He said that just to stabilize them and ask them to help him.
Huo Junchuan remained silent, and it was obvious that although he was greatly shaken, he did not completely believe it.
Qin Wang's words overturned his persistence and cognition of more than 20 years, and he couldn't believe it.
Qin Wang looked at him straight, feeling that his reason was slowly collapsing like a house in an earthquake.
"I know you won't believe it unless you see the evidence. Your prejudice is so deep-rooted that it really opens my eyes." His voice calmed down. He looked at Huo Junchuan, no longer looking at his former friend, "Come here."
Huo Junchuan raised his leg and walked towards him without hesitation.
It's not that he doesn't want to believe it, he just can't convince himself to believe it.
If Gu Bo can really produce evidence that convinces him, he will also face up to his mistakes.
Even though this mistake might make him a sinner of the entire federation.
Qin Wang watched him approach, and suddenly raised his hand and threw a dagger, which flew towards Huo Junchuan's face. Huo Junchuan's pupils contracted, but he did not dodge.
The dagger flew past Huo Junchuan's cheek and hit the monitor above, piercing through it.
The current on the camera flickered weakly a few times, and then the light dimmed.
Qin Wang has lived in this computer room for so many days and knows that this camera is the only "eyes" in the computer room. The person controlling the computer room now should be No. 13.
Huo Junchuan looked at the camera in shock as it was hit by a single shot. Qin Wang, who had lost his memory, did not have such skill.
He walked up to Qin Wang as he said.
Qin Wang opened the computer case that he had been protecting, and Huo Junchuan then discovered that it was a cabinet disguised as a computer case.
"This is?"
Qin Wang didn't say anything. He turned and walked into the secret cabinet. Huo Junchuan hesitated for a moment, but followed him in.
He saw Qin Wang open another wooden door under his feet, and vaguely realized that there would be something inside that would subvert his cognition. His breathing became heavy.
There was a short staircase under the wooden door. Qin Wang turned on the lighting function of the intelligent brain and walked in. Huo Junchuan followed with numb hands and feet.
There was a bed in the not-so-spacious space, and a person was lying on it.
There were several bags of liquid hanging nearby, being continuously injected into the man's body. Huo Junchuan could tell at a glance that these were the most expensive nutrient solutions sold in the Federation. They were very precious because of the high cost of extraction.
Qin Wang shone the light on the man's face. The moment he saw the man's appearance clearly, Huo Junchuan felt like he was frozen by ice.
Even though he was in a coma, one could see that the man had a ruddy complexion and steady breathing. It was obvious that he was in a stable condition and very healthy.
"Do you know who he is?" Qin Wang asked coldly.
Huo Junchuan's body, eyes, and even thoughts were all motionless.
He stared straight at the man's face, as if he had seen the most terrifying monster. The dim light shining on his face made his face appear pale and terrified.
"He Guan, or should we be more respectful and address him by his position in the Federation?" Qin Wang's voice was still cold, "Mr. President, right?"
Seeing Huo Junchuan feel like he had been hit hard, Qin Wang knew that he should completely believe what he said.
But he was not happy at all. After winning the debate for Zero, what surged in his heart was an even deeper sorrow.
Zero seems to be in control of a huge world, but he can't find anyone he can trust.
No one believed him, no one was willing to listen to his explanation, so he could only hide the president in his computer room, just like hiding the most precious treasure in his heart.
He really has never thought about ruling or destroying the world, and President He Guan is the most powerful evidence.
Not only did he not think so, but he wanted to preserve the precious fire for mankind. Qin Wang could even guess Zero's next plan. He would eliminate the dangers in this world and then wake up the president. Then he could return a crisis-free, peaceful and calm world to mankind.
zero……
Qin Wang took a deep breath to suppress the heat rising to his eyes.
"Tell me now, Huo Junchuan." There was a kind of determination in his voice, "Where is Ling?"
Huo Junchuan turned his head stiffly, inch by inch, his black eyes like two empty holes.
He asked faintly, "Did Zero hide him here?"
Qin Wang did not answer his nonsense which had an obvious answer, but just stared at him persistently.
Huo Junchuan's breathing became heavier and heavier, as if the air around him had turned into some kind of sticky substance, squeezing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
"He's dead," he whispered.
Qin Wang's expression disappeared all of a sudden.
"What did you say?"
"Zero is dead, Gu Bai." Huo Junchuan said hoarsely, "Wendens said that No. 13 is a more advanced artificial intelligence than Zero. As long as I bring No. 13 in, No. 13 can immediately delete Zero's data..."
"You're lying!"
A fist hit Huo Junchuan's face hard, and even as strong as Huo Junchuan was, he staggered backwards and fell to the ground.
"... and then completely replace Zero's existence." He spat out a bloody tooth, and as if he didn't feel any pain, he continued to say, "Gu Bai, it's too late. I have already... killed him."
"No……"
Qin Wang stared at him intently, his finger bones made a teeth-grinding sound from being pinched by himself, and his eyes had turned a terrifying scarlet red.
"You're lying, tell me you're lying."
He was like a devil who was ready to devour anyone, but the words that came out of his mouth contained a hint of pleading.
Huo Junchuan's throat was blocked by something, and his mouth was full of blood. He had never felt that his whole body was covered with this bloody smell.
He killed Zero, killing the greatest hope for saving the world.
He didn't say anything, but his eyes were dead and he was trembling slightly.
Qin Wang looked at him, and the expression on his face became more and more ferocious.
"You lied to me." He said in a low voice, "Zero is so powerful, he is the most powerful artificial intelligence in the world, how could he be killed by a bastard who came out of nowhere? You were deceived by Wendens, and now you are deceiving me again. I know it."
Having said that, he raised his leg and walked out.
Huo Junchuan was keenly aware of something. He turned sideways and suddenly hugged Qin Wang's legs.
"Gu Bo! What are you going to do!?"
"Let me go!"
Qin Wang had completely lost his mind. He raised his elbow and hit Huo Junchuan's face hard again and again without holding back at all.
Let him go, let him go!
He wants to get Zero back!
"Gu Bai, calm down!"
Huo Junchuan choked and coughed. His face was covered in blood and his nose was broken. He closed his eyes and shouted in a hoarse voice.
"I know you're going to find Wendens, but it's not so easy to force anything out of him!" He had to roar with all his might to make his voice reach Qin Wang's ears. "I don't want to believe that Zero is really dead. Let's take a long-term view! As long as Zero is still alive, we will definitely find him, but now you need to calm down! You have to save Zero with your own life!"
You have to save your life to save Zero!
Qin Wang's frantic beating of Huo Junchuan suddenly stopped. His raised elbow froze in mid-air, along with his entire movement.
He opened his eyes wide, his shrunken pupils trembling violently, reason and madness were fighting, making his whole body tremble.
Huo Junchuan held his legs tightly, not daring to relax even for a moment.
After a while, he finally felt the swollen and stiff muscles in his hands shrink back little by little. He breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively let go of the other person's legs.
Qin Wang slowly knelt on the ground.
He hugged his aching head and let out a hoarse and miserable howl.
zero……
zero……
He didn't understand why, when he learned that Zero might die, he felt such pain that he almost tore himself apart. He asked himself if he was a rational person, but why...
The thought of Zero's death filled him with pain and madness, and he wanted to burn the whole world down.
His head and heart ached, he felt like he was going to die, he couldn't control himself, he wanted to kill everyone, including himself.
What no one knew was that under his intense emotional fluctuations, an invisible wave emanated from him, penetrating all obstructions, penetrating the barriers of this world, and rushing into the chaotic universe.
In the distant cracks in time and space, several bound shadows suddenly began to fluctuate.
Huo Junchuan gasped as he looked at Qin Wang's painful expression and slowly closed his eyes to hide the tears that were about to burst out.
He was wrong.
Everything Qin Wang accused him of was terrifyingly accurate.
He is prejudiced, arrogant, stupid and vicious.
If Zero really died, perhaps no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to make up for this mistake.
No one can replace Zero's position and role. He had dreamed in the past about how much help Zero would provide if he stood on his side.
He didn't expect that Zero had been on his side from the beginning to the end, but he had never tried to believe or understand him.
After looking at Qin Wang again and making sure that he no longer wanted to fight with Wendens alone, Huo Junchuan stood up with difficulty, then staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Qin Wang really didn't hold back at all.
Huo Junchuan thought calmly and walked towards the president on the bed.
He Guan was unconscious. Not only was his body connected to several nutrition tubes, but he also had some devices on his face and head. Huo Junchuan couldn't tell what they were for. He hesitated for a moment, but decided to dismantle them first and then bring the man back to the base.
He guessed that the frustrated Windens might be on his way, and he didn't have much time to waste.
He moved quickly, first removing the tubes that transported the nutrient solution, and then finally moving on to the device on his head.
However, when the helmet-like device was just taken off, He Guan's fingers trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
Huo Junchuan was shocked and immediately stepped forward: "Mr. President!"
Although He Guan opened his eyes, he did not seem to have regained consciousness. His eyes were blank as he stared into the void.
Suddenly, his whole body trembled, a look of fear appeared in his eyes, then he opened his mouth and a hoarse call came out.
"zero--"
Huo Junchuan was stunned. Qin Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, heard the voice and suddenly stood up and walked over here.
"What do you know?"
He didn't care who the other person was or whether he had just woken up. He just grabbed He Guan's collar and pulled him up, almost putting his face against his.
"Do you know what happened to Zero? What's the deal between you and him?"
"Gu Bai!" Huo Junchuan held his arm. "He just woke up, how could he know so many things?"
Qin Wang certainly knew that He Guan had just woken up, but he didn't want to miss any possibility of getting any information.
Staring at him with his red eyes, He Guan's gaze gradually returned to clarity from the confusion and chaos.
He stared at Qin Wang for a while, then turned his eyes to see Huo Junchuan's face and murmured, "Huo Junchuan?"
"It's me, Mr. President." Huo Junchuan said quickly, "The situation is a bit urgent now. Let's leave here first, and then I will explain the situation to you, okay?"
He Guan looks only about thirty years old, but he is actually fifty-six years old. He is a gentle and tolerant elder.
He and Huo Junchuan had known each other for a long time. Even when the resistance army was just starting out, it was He Guan's repeated help that gave the resistance army a glimmer of hope, allowing it to grow to its current size.
Although He Guan had been unconscious for a long time and his thinking was a little slow, he could still distinguish the priorities. He did not blame Qin Wang for being rude and nodded decisively: "Okay, but I am a little weak now and may not be able to move quickly."
Huo Junchuan squatted down with his back to him without hesitation and let He Guan lie on his broad back.
Qin Wang let go of his hand. He looked horrified, but he still helped He Guan lie on Huo Junchuan's back.
Just as they were about to take action, a faint electric current sound suddenly rang out from Huo Junchuan and Qin Wang's earphones. The moment they heard the sound, they were both shocked, revealing expressions of shock and ecstasy.
color.
"Don't go through the front door. Wendens's men have already arrived. Go to the top floor. I have dispatched a flying machine for you."
Just like before in District 5, Ling spoke in a hurried tone but did not seem panicked, as if as long as he was there, no matter how big the difficulties were, they could be overcome.
"Move quickly."
"zero……"
Qin Wang murmured, and a tear suddenly fell from his scarlet eyes.
【419: “Host…”
Jian Ziyan: “Hmm?”
419: "There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Jian Ziyan: "? How good is the good, how bad is the bad?
419: “It’s hard to say…”
Jian Ziyan: "...Then let's have the good news first, so I can be mentally prepared."
"The good news is that I received a message from above saying that Lu Wufeng's soul has been captured, and the fused souls have been separated, and they are checking to see what went wrong."
"!" Jian Ziyan almost jumped up, "This is really great news! Okay, I have the strength to face the bad news."
"The bad news is..." 419 said in a sleepwalking tone, "Just now, my connection with the headquarters was suddenly cut off."
Jian Ziyan: "...What does this mean?"
"This means," 419 said, "the headquarters may have been bombed."】
