death penalty
"Yan? Yan? Are you ok? What happened"
Vasile looked at the girl in front of him who suddenly fell silent in surprise.
Just as they were about to withdraw their hands, he was clamped tightly by the other party with suddenly increased force, as if something extremely terrible had happened.
Naturally, he couldn't just stand by and watch in this situation. He found the acupoint of the wrist joint and pressed it lightly, and the opponent's fingers relaxed instantly.
The freed hand was about to touch Mu Qingyan's shoulder to express comfort, but unexpectedly, it was stopped in mid-air.
"Dustin?"
The Infinity CEO, who appeared behind him at some point, glanced at him casually and raised his chin to signal him to mind his own business.
It wasn't a reaction that was at all aggressive, but coming from this world-renowned young man, it felt strangely oppressive.
"Excuse me, please don't mind."
Vasile withdrew his hand and turned away.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dustin not making any comforting gestures, but simply taking off his assistant's glasses without hesitation.
…
"Yan, calm down."
All the noise in Mu Qingyan's mind stopped, and she finally had the energy to return to reality.
Her clenched fist had pressed her nails into her palm, but she felt no pain at all.
“Dustin…”
His gaze slowly focused, and his friend's sharp eyebrows slightly raised to indicate that he was listening.
Mu Qingyan's voice was incredibly calm:
"Terrence Bedford, he's not going to make it."
It's like stating a fact.
Dustin didn't ignore the ruthlessness in the other man's eyes that he hadn't seen in a long time. After a moment of hesitation, he chuckled softly.
“As you wish.”
So, after the free discussion time ended, all the participants were surprised to find that the founder of Infinity, who had been catching up on sleep in the first half of the meeting, suddenly started to argue.
"...Human organs may carry some unique memories or information. Physical integrity and personal identity are both indispensable. I don't want you to confuse the essence of humans with that of animals..."
"...Mr. Chu has always been more interested in machines than humans, so why are you considering them today? Oh, and I heard you were the first to go to Country E to investigate. You're so well-informed. Could there be something fishy going on with the robots created by Infinity? Please don't cause another global panic..."
Infinity had previously been subject to an antitrust investigation by the FRTC due to issues involving customer privacy leaks, although no substantial evidence was found in the end.
Dustin naturally dismissed this question:
"...If humans were to encounter more people like you, my interest in them would be infinitely diminished. As for your second question, wait until you've broken free from your reliance on robots before questioning their safety..."
"...Dustin, Infinity and BI are competitors in some respects. You played a crucial role in this incident, and you're still so insistent on sentencing Terrence Bedford to death. I have to wonder if you have any selfish motives..."
There were constant echoes of voices around.
It is obvious that if BI is seriously damaged, Infinity's global position will be even more unshakable.
This is not something the industry welcomes.
After Mu Qingyan sent the instruction to Kins to "stabilize Terrence Bedford", she temporarily exited the call and sorted out the information to provide support for Dustin.
We can't really let the "boss" fight alone.
"Everyone, under the leadership of the boss, Infinity has donated a large amount of supplies to the United Nations Human Rights Organization and hired professionals to plan and build a relief community. They have obtained construction permits despite various obstacles in land leasing and environmental certification. They have also improved all infrastructure, including education and medical care, to ensure the living needs of all victims. The total cost has reached over 23 billion, and the boss has never publicly disclosed this to the world. If you say he has selfish motives, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
Everyone looked at each other, and almost simultaneously turned to the front of the conference room to confirm the truth of this statement.
Vasile Guan promptly retrieved the relevant data and transmitted it to the central holographic screen:
"Infinity's contribution to this incident is indeed obvious to all. However, this is not the topic of today's meeting, so I hope everyone will refrain from irrelevant speculation."
Dustin waved for Mu Qingyan to sit down and made a final summary:
"What Infinity is doing is beyond the reach of all of you financially and intellectually, so please stay out of our business. Do you understand?"
"But for those patients who could have relied on organ transplants, after those non-maternal lives were saved, shouldn't we consider that their lives are no longer guaranteed?"
"If you have such a heart, why not ask God if this position will be inherited by you?"
…
During the intermission, Mu Qingyan felt dizzy when she left the meeting room. Fortunately, a service robot that was shuttling in the corridor helped her into the lounge in time.
Almost at the moment she closed the door, she quickly shut down the robot's original program, implanted a real-time communication system almost identical to Kins's, and manipulated it to successfully enter the room where Terrence Bedford was.
In her ears, the old bastard's naked "confession" continued word by word, making her almost dare not imagine how Kinsley would react if it was really here at this moment.
But judging from all the previous signs, he must have heard these words in person more than once, which is why he is so repulsive to Terrence Bedford.
But she didn't expect that the degree of human distortion would never reach the lowest limit.
When the robot entered the reception room, the voice came back synchronously. Terrence Bedford was talking about the first time he brought Kinsley to his residence after going to Country Z.
"...I heard from Tanaka that you were in a bad mood the night before, and I was very worried. At that time...I deliberately let you see it..."
Mu Qingyan also remembered that it was the first time they had argued, and the next day, Kinsley lay coldly in front of his house.
——What did he see?
"I know... that's not right, but I really can't control myself! Ever since you insisted on going to Country Z, I haven't had the chance to see you this closely. But you would rather get hurt for those so-called fans than talk to me properly. I can't help it—"
He buried his face in his hands.
"That batch... was finally a success! It was my selfish desire... but they... look too much like you... The bionic bodies I built to order before also looked like you. After you escaped from me, they were the ones that brought me happiness! But the batch you see was created by me according to your genetic sequence. How perfect—"
The harsh and explicit words could no longer form the correct meaning. Mu Qingyan felt a buzzing in his head, thinking that he had done something in anger.
It was only later that I realized that there was a brief abnormality in the emotional charge of Kins on the other end.
——A perverted act that even a machine could not accept.
Mu Qingyan didn't know what disgusting scene Kinsley saw that day, nor could she imagine what kind of painful experiences those children created by BI, who were born with a purpose, had experienced.
She rushed to the bathroom to wash her face. When she looked up, the mirror in front of her reflected her gloomy and murderous eyes.
"Kins, the mission is over, leave the rest to me."
The information was conveyed by the inorganic voice of the robot. In the reception room, Kins stopped his original roar obediently, his face instantly turned calm and peaceful, and he retreated to stand by the wall.
Terrence Bedford seemed to have just noticed an unexpected guest and asked with some confusion:
"What's going on? Who let you in?"
"Mr. Bedford, long time no see. I send my regards to you on behalf of your brother."
"Who are you? Did Lawrence send you? Xiao Yin, come here...you—"
The young man in front of him was so different that he couldn't say anything more.
Mu Qingyan reminded very timely:
"This is my robot butler K-127. Thank you for preparing such a sumptuous meal for him."
At Kins' polite nod, Terrence Bedford's thin face turned even paler. He was eager to catch the figure he had been thinking about day and night.
"What...what K...Xiao Yin...are you kidding me...please stop it..."
"Mr. Bedford, I'm sorry, but I'm not Kinsley."
A long string of blue characters flowed across the light brown optical mirror, and the chemical equations inside were clearly visible.
"You added special chemicals to the food. Are you trying to force Kinsley to stay here? But I'm sorry, these don't have much effect on robots."
All the evidence pointed to one fact: Terrence Bedford's expression was unpredictable, and he stared at Kins with only obsession:
"K-127? Your face... you look like... No! You are Xiao Yin... How is this possible... Tell me how you did it..."
But soon, he collapsed and fell directly from the wheelchair, waving his arms and screaming:
"No!!! No!!! This is impossible! Where's Kinsley? Where's Xiao Yin? He promised to come see me! How could he not show up?! And you! Who are you?!"
The expression in the mirror showed malicious mockery, and Mu Qingyan spoke in a seductive tone:
"It doesn't matter who I am, Mr. Bedford. Why don't you answer a few questions for me? Perhaps I can let you see Kinsley one last time..."
"Let me see him!!! Let me see him!!!" The man rolled on the ground like a maggot.
——Good, the chips worked.
She took advantage of Terrence Bedford's weakness and got all the answers she wanted.
In the end, the other party seemed a little neurotic:
"Xiao Yin... he can't get rid of me... he will always remember..."
"With me here, nothing can hurt him, including you who is about to die."
"You... who are you?!"
"I promise you that not a single word you said today will reach Xiao Yin's ears. Moreover, you will never know who I am—"
The robot looked down at the suffocating man.
"Terrence Bedford, take this mystery with you and go to hell!"
