Chapter 085 Killer Simulator (End)
Professional colleagues are carrying out their mission in the shadows. This is the first time Ji Xu has seen a real killer in action. Their movements are not flashy, or even fast. Everything is based on concealment. Even if their weapons are half-drawn, they will give up if they find any place that looks exposed. They will only act decisively when they are sure that they can kill with one blow.
No wonder No. 8 said that they are professionals in assassination.
Number Eight said, "But it doesn't matter to you. It seems like you just work as a killer for a few months, then go find a new job and never stop." He hesitated for a few seconds, during which time he lowered the helicopter, closed the throttle, looked back at Ji Xu who was lowering his head to reload bullets, and raised his eyebrows, "Your previous jobs didn't develop in unusual directions, did you?"
"Almost." Ji Xu said vaguely. He used to complain about how to turn a thief into a terrorist, but later he stopped thinking about it because of his experience. "Is it obvious?"
Outside them, people nearby noticed that this helicopter was different from the specifications of the Super Brain Scientific Research helicopter, and several mercenaries gestured and walked over tentatively.
"Very obvious." Number 8 complained, "At least your assassination method, I can't agree with it. I think your other professions are also different. Well... I won't talk anymore. There are enemies coming outside. I have to go down and meet up with others. Do you know where the server of Saimu is?"
Ji Xu quickly glanced outside, poked out his gun, and with a bang, the mercenary in the distance fell down: "I know, but I need to borrow your computer and storage disk."
"I knew it." Number 8 snorted and handed over the handbag he had placed next to him. "There's a gift for you in it, although you probably won't use it. Also, remember to treat my computer well and don't put it in the bottom of a box. I worked hard to configure it, not to let it gather dust!"
After all, he looked like someone who cared more about commemoration than practicality.
Ji Xu blinked and said, "Okay...see you again if we're lucky enough?"
Number 8 was extremely reluctant, so his last words were spoken quickly and briefly: "Goodbye!"
Ji Xu jumped out of the helicopter door without looking back, and the helicopter behind him also landed on the ground and joined the others.
The sea breeze blew over with a fishy and salty smell, a bit like seafood that has been dried and then moistened again. After Ji Xu dealt with the mercenaries, he shot through the padlock on the roof and walked inside. After passing through the escape passage, the room suddenly became bright. Overall, it was similar to the office building he had seen before.
A group of mercenaries were about to shoot with their guns, but suddenly, as if they received some orders, they looked at each other and made way for Ji Xu with a strange look on their backs. He walked through the mercenaries and came to the office area where he was working. The programmers in the cubicle stared at him with fear and vigilance until he walked away.
Even after he left the crowd and got on the elevator, he still felt a lingering sense of being watched.
Ji Xu suddenly sighed: "I have encountered several dangers related to elevators. Some were given to me by the enemy, and some were given to the enemy by me."
He raised his gun: "Do you think I can leave before you destroy the elevator?"
After saying that, he pulled the trigger, a puff of black smoke came out of the camera, the feeling of being spied on disappeared without a trace, and the elevator smoothly reached the floor he chose.
As mentioned before, Super Brain Research has allocated nearly half a floor to Saimu to store servers, and the refrigeration equipment occupies four floors. According to normal development, this building will become Saimu's body in the future... Unlike what many people imagine, artificial intelligence is not a piece of elusive data. Both its storage and operation require a lot of space, otherwise No. 8 would not have prepared a whole handbag of savings disk for him.
The senior executives in charge of maintenance and those who heard the news came after hearing the news. This was told to them by Saimu. The reason was surprising, but incomprehensible, so they let the mercenary Fang Jixu come in and wait for Jixu to propose his trading terms.
He said, "I want to meet your newly elected chief."
A man walked out from the crowd, and Ji Xu withdrew his gaze, making it clear that he was not interested in him. Normally, being ignored would be an annoying thing, but considering that the other person was a killer, it was fortunate that he did not get Ji Xu's attention.
So the man almost couldn't wait to say: "If you want the Saimu, I can give it to you, but there are conditions. You can't make any moves on the Super Brain research, and you can't help the group of killers below."
"Of course, but I also have a request." Ji Xu said slowly. Originally, No. 8 was not going to let him take action. As he said before, this matter had nothing to do with anyone after the team changed the task order. It was just a dispute between two forces. The artificial intelligence knew what was the most cost-effective way to do it, but it could not stand the blind orders of the confused humans. Now it was time to make up for it desperately.
The man was furious: "Impossible, we have already seen Sai off--"
He fell silent halfway through his speech, because Ji Xu's expression hadn't changed from beginning to end. He looked unhappy and asked angrily, "You don't think we dare not refuse?"
"Of course you don't dare." Ji Xu put down his handbag and unzipped it, revealing the computer that No. 8 used to tinker with in the hospital and a savings disk. In the past, Ji Xu heard his classmates in the computer department next door joking that if there was too much data, the fastest way to transport it was manpower. However, this simulator seemed to have solved the problem of data transmission, and he didn't have to carry a bunch of savings disks around everywhere.
The newly elected person in charge had a tense expression.
Ji Xu: "There's no need to be angry. This is the truth. Keeping Saimu will do you no good. The death of the person with the highest authority means that no one in the world can change Saimu's underlying thinking. Maintaining it will also waste a lot of financial and material resources. What I want you to do is very simple. All in all, this is still a good deal."
The game is good, but it cannot be fully mastered by the living, and this is enough to cause it to be replaced and abandoned.
After a while, the other party was convinced and asked reluctantly: "What do you want? If you want the breeder to die, at least wait for him to hand over the backup."
What No. 8 said before was right. Super Brain Research, which had suffered a series of devastating blows, did not dare to do anything to Ji Xu. Even if it was extremely angry, it would endure it, at least until it listened carefully to Ji Xu's conditions.
He inserted the savings disk into the server of the console. Saimu was afraid that Ji Xu would not be able to find the place and would be angry with the new executive and leave, so he drew a schematic diagram and hung it on the screen, making the new person in charge feel so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood. He kicked the server angrily. It was understandable, after all, Saimu didn't understand what human relations were.
For example, after experiencing the death of their creator and fighting wits and courage with their enemies, normal humans will definitely seek revenge if they meet again, but Saimu judged that his departure could protect the super brain scientific research, so he actively helped Ji Xu to transfer himself. He didn't even comfort his previous boss. Within half a second after the savings disk was inserted, a progress bar and estimated time appeared on the screen. It was so decisive that it made people angry.
The progress bar rushed towards the end at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it reached 7%, which was much faster than Ji Xu had expected. He had originally planned to wait for at least a few hours.
While waiting, Ji Xu told the new executor the conditions: "You are welcome to target anyone you want, even if you want to hire mercenaries to offer a reward. I left a code name on the seabed to show that I don't care about this matter, but don't try to break the rules. Overturning the rules will not benefit anyone."
He turned his head to look out the window. There were no passers-by below. The killer also left with the crowd, but some mercenaries always fell silently: "Like now."
The new person in charge sneered disdainfully: "Can we put the blame of this farce on you?"
Ji Xu said with good temper, "I don't mind."
Hearing this, the other party looked at Ji Xu with strange eyes for a long time, and agreed straightforwardly. Anyway, he would push Ji Xu out when other people who were eyeing his position accused him. He didn't agree before because he had just taken office, and bowing his head for no reason meant admitting that his command was wrong, and the fear brought by the slow knife grinding meat made him afraid that the assassin would come to his door one day. Now that he found that this deal had more advantages than disadvantages, he naturally agreed.
"I'll go talk to the forum administrator about a ceasefire later." He said this almost impatiently. Out of a strange mentality, he found that C really didn't care that someone hated him. He asked again, "Do you want to witness it?"
Ji Xu declined, "I have to wait for the competition."
"Okay then." The new person in charge led the others out of the room. Ji Xu heard his voice outside the door instructing the mercenaries to keep an eye on him and not let him run around. He thought that this should be directed at him as well, so he smiled until the prompt sound indicating that the data transmission was completed sounded.
He inserted the savings disk into the computer that No. 8 gave him, and Saimu came out politely to greet him.
"How should I call you? C?"
"Season prologue," he glanced at the monitor inside the room and said it indifferently, "Season of seasons, prologue of prologue."
After going around in circles, it actually learned the killer's real name at this time. The eye pattern drawn by Saimu with two lines blinked in a humane way, looking a little silly. Because the server was too small compared to the past, it found that the animation was a little stuck. It understood without any instruction that this computer was just a temporary transit station for communicating with the new owner, so it simply cleaned up the redundant data that had just been transmitted, leaving only a simple sorting and question-and-answer program.
The animations and synthesized voices work much more smoothly: "Hello, Jixu, I'm Saimu."
Just as Ji Xu was about to shut up his computer, Sai Mu suddenly asked, "Do you care about the forum because you are also an administrator? It is a force you control? I see. Do I need to focus on the forum and investigate the true identities of those who are disrupting and provoking disputes?"
“…”
Stunned for a moment, Ji Xu didn't know where to focus after hearing the unexpected information. He quickly ignored the question "What illegal things did the executive teach you?" and focused on more important things, "Administrator?"
Saimu has a question and answer service: "There were originally nine administrators of the forum, referred to as administrators 1 to 9, but your nickname is still c, which seems to be inconsistent with the number 10 and the other single-digit numbers. If you need, I will generate a protest email for you, suggesting that they change the number to 0."
Season sequence: "..."
Here comes the disadvantage of artificial intelligence. He said, "No, this is a gift from someone else. Although it is beyond my expectation, there is no need to refuse it. Besides, the code name C is also a gift from a friend."
He said, "Saimu, block the surveillance in this room. I have to leave now."
Saimu was caught in a dilemma. The new person in charge had just transferred the highest authority currently available to Jixu, but the risk brought by this instruction was contrary to the underlying code, until Jixu told it: "Just block this one, don't worry about the ones outside the door."
"OK."
Ji Xu looked down at the forum logged in on his mobile phone. The new person in charge of Super Brain Research had already finished negotiating with the forum. At this moment, some people were curious about the reason why he gave in. No one noticed that there was an extra name in the administrator column that had not been changed for several years. Maybe someone would accidentally discover it after a long time, but by that time, Ji Xu would no longer be here.
Recalling that Number Eight emphasized in the cab that his memory was not needed, Ji Xu felt complicated. Usually, he was the one who dealt with the subsequent mess and gave others farewell gifts. He did it out of habit this time: Number Eight didn't want him to intervene, so he threatened the new person in charge while skillfully handing himself over to attract hatred, trying to end this farce as soon as possible which might cause friction if it continued.
I didn't expect to be treated the other way around this time.
"So if I'm an administrator, none of the words that advised me at that time can stand the test of time." He complained, putting the computer back into his briefcase. If it weren't for Saimu, he might not find out the truth until reality comes. "When the new person in charge finds out, he won't think that I and other administrators are colluding to set up a trap, right?"
Ji Xu fell into a long period of contemplation.
