The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 283 It's Like Watching a Movie

Yang Fei also had a happy family with a three-year-old daughter, but he and his wife had a big difference in their daughter's educational philosophy. He refused to install smart eyes for his daughter, while his wife was completely opposite.

In a sense, smart eye is an auxiliary device for the brain, especially in study and work. For example, if you turn on the focus study function, you can exclude all the things in your sight except the pictures related to study, and block them with one click. Kindergarten children are equipped with smart eyes. If you don't pretend to be smart, you will be at a disadvantage even if you compare with other children in learning.

Not to mention that smart eyes can also allow parents of minors to enter the child's perspective at any time and observe the situation of the child.

The two often quarrel because of differences in parenting ideas. Of course, there are other factors. Maybe the two people have different views. In short, he and his wife divorced, and his daughter is also raised by his wife. When the closest people fall out, they usually don’t No longer friends, or even enemies.

The husband and wife often quarreled, resulting in deep grievances. After the wife left with her daughter, she directly turned on the blocking function, completely blocking him.

Not only was he unable to contact his wife, he couldn't even see them at all, and couldn't find them.

His ex-wife moved and blocked him. For him, even though his ex-wife and daughter are in close proximity, they are just two mosaics, no different from other people on the street who remain anonymous to strangers. There is no communication at all. possibility.

It stands to reason that he could sue the court to ask his ex-wife to cancel the blocking, because it hindered his right to visit his children, but his ex-wife's decisive attitude also made him disheartened, and he didn't want to continue pestering others to make him disgusting.

"It seems that the two of us are suffering from the same disease." Wang Hai was very satisfied with the story Yang Fei shared, which seemed to relieve some of his pain.

Wang Hai asked casually: "What happened after that? You haven't seen your daughter since then?" He still wanted to hear the following story.

But at this time, Yang Fei returned to the state of silence, with an expression of refusing to communicate.

Wang Hai didn't take it seriously, and opened the chatterbox to share another story of his own.

It turns out that "love expert" and "live broadcast of other people's privacy" are just his hobby and pastime to earn extra money after work. Wang Hai's official job is "AI debugger".

Not only the silent Yang Fei showed a surprised expression, the audience also started whispering, and Li Weiming was also shocked. He originally thought that the content of this episode was about smart eyes, but he didn’t expect that the plot was less than half, and it came out again additional settings.

A woman was lying on the bed with apprehension about undergoing a special operation.

When she woke up again, she found herself trapped in darkness, and no one responded to her panicked and desperate cries.

The camera rises from the darkness, and a white, flawless egg-like object appears in the picture.

"Has this girl's memory been extracted and sealed in the egg?"

This was Li Weiming's first reaction after being surprised: "Good guy, consciousness upload..."

The mystery was soon revealed.

In this world, smart home has become very popular.

Many people have an all-round "siri" or "Xiao Ai classmate" who is responsible for home management, ranging from arranging schedules to processing social media information to controlling various household appliances.

But some people are still not satisfied with this, and they want a smart assistant that is more suitable for their habits and life.

Who else knows himself better than himself?

Therefore, a company has developed a technology based on this, extracting a copy of consciousness, simulating a copy of a person's memory or consciousness with code, and becoming an alternative smart housekeeper.

The consciousness copy has no body, no neural network, and its essence is just code, so it is not legally considered life, and certainly not human beings.

Such a "siri" with the consciousness of the original owner certainly does not want to be enslaved obediently and become the intelligent steward of the so-called conscious subject of his own body.

This requires an "AI debugger" like Wang Hai.

He wants to "tame" the copy of consciousness through various means.

Of course, the process of "taming" naturally includes punishment.

The most useful punishment is the "time penalty".

Because the essence of the copy of consciousness is just code, and it is encapsulated into the memory, so it only needs to speed up the time.

Wang Hai called up the time setting function on the transparent monitor, and after a few laps, he saw the Q version of the sun image and the moon image flashing alternately rapidly on the monitor.

One second is a day, and for the consciousness copy in the egg, half a month has passed in just a dozen seconds.

The woman's copy of consciousness still didn't give in, so Wang Hai increased the speed of time in the egg even more, until the copy of consciousness was completely tamed.

Because in months or even years of loneliness, the copy of consciousness composed of codes cannot sleep, cannot commit suicide, and there are no entertainment items to resolve. In this purgatory-like situation, having a job can already be counted as the greatest Fortunately.

Less than 2 minutes later, when the woman came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit, put it on the table with a smile, greeted Wang Hai to eat the fruit politely, and asked by the way: "Is the adjustment finished?"

A professional smile appeared on Wang Hai's face: "The debugging is finished, if you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."

"So fast?" The woman was a little surprised and thanked her quickly.

"Damn! It's too dark and humorous!" Lu Xiao, who was sitting next to Li Weiming, couldn't help blurting out.

While lightly "torturing" the copy of the woman's consciousness in the white space in the egg, Wang Hai turned around and politely explained to the woman the control and operation precautions of the smart housekeeper.

An extremely absurd emotion emerges from the hearts of the audience.

Li Weiming nodded with a smile. This is what fascinates him about "Black Mirror". It often inadvertently scares you by an absurd plot created by a black technology.

The more "explosive" content Wang Hai shared this time obviously broke Yang Fei's defenses. After all, the stories Wang Hai shared twice were cruel, and even the first story was suspected of breaking the law.

Under Wang Hai's guidance, Yang Fei also developed a desire to confide.

They've been trapped here for a long time, which in itself lowered his defenses to the minimum, after all, people will feel lonely.

Yang Fei began to tell the story after he and his wife divorced.

The ex-wife blocked Yang Fei, and together with their daughter, Yang Fei couldn't find or communicate with them. Similarly, in their eyes, if Yang Fei appeared in front of him, he would also be covered in a mosaic.

He tried to find them at his father-in-law's house, but found that they had moved away, and neighbors told him that the family had gone to other cities.

After seven years like this, Yang Fei has also made several girlfriends. Although he did not remarry, his miss for his ex-wife and daughter has faded, and he has also suppressed it in his heart.

One weekend, he was driving to the park to relax, and suddenly a cat ran out from the side of the road. Caught off guard, he turned the steering wheel because of fright, subconsciously avoided, and hit a tree beside the road.

He hurriedly got out of the car to check and found a mosaic lying on the ground beside the tree.

That must be a person!

And it is a person who has turned on the anonymous state.

Because the opponent's body was covered with mosaics, he had no way of knowing the identity of the opponent. In a panic, he hurriedly carried the opponent into the car, and it was a girl from the sense of touch.

But he has no time to think about it. The thoughts of calling the police and escaping are at war in his mind. In order to avoid a cat turning the steering wheel and killing a person on the side of the road, this is already a serious negligence in traffic accidents. The correct response is to brake Brakes.

It might even get him facing criminal penalties, which would ruin his current, privileged job, his hard-earned career.

Eventually the idea of ​​escape prevailed.

Fortunately, the road in the park is very secluded. There are no other vehicles, bystanders, or cameras around. In addition, his car crashed into a tree and was seriously damaged. Fortunately, he can still drive.

He put the girl covered in mosaics into the back of the car, drove in a big circle to a large lake deep in a park, and pushed the car and the people in the back into the lake.

Although he asked himself that there should be no clues left behind, Yang Fei was still suffering from fear and guilt. Under the double torture, his spirits were sluggish, he fell into torment, and even made many mistakes at work.

Until five days later, he received an unknown call.

It turned out to be a call from his ex-wife.

The ex-wife told him in a dull voice without emotional ups and downs that their daughter was missing and had been deemed dead by the police. Considering that he was the father of the child, he also needed to attend the child's funeral.

Yang Fei put down the phone, he couldn't accept this fact.

After seven years, his ex-wife finally took the initiative to contact him, but the news she brought was the news of her daughter's death?Let him attend his daughter's funeral?
For seven years, he didn't even see his daughter, but the last time he saw his daughter's photo?

The longing that had been blocked and suppressed in my heart for seven years suddenly burst out.

There was also strong anger mixed in with it.

He went to the address given by his ex-wife with anger and even wanted to make a fuss at the funeral.

His ex-wife unblocked him. At the funeral, for the first time in seven years, he saw the face of his ex-wife again, but he was already emaciated, as if he had lost his soul.

This quietly dissipated the anger in his heart.

The arrival of the child's father seems to have found an object for the ex-wife's emotions to release.

The ex-wife rushed over and leaned against his chest, weeping uncontrollably, saying sorry repeatedly, and intermittently telling the story of her daughter's disappearance.

After she divorced Yang Fei, she didn't actually move out of this city, but she just wanted Yang Fei to think that they had gone to other cities, and she didn't want Yang Fei to disturb them anymore.

She went to the park with her daughter, and the daughter ran towards the woods after a cat. She was arranging a picnic, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, her daughter did not come back.

She shouted anxiously but couldn't find it, and finally remembered to activate the sharing view function of the smart eye. The guardian has the right to enter the child's smart eye.

What I saw was a man covered with mosaics looking down at his daughter, then put down the black screen, and the perspective fell into darkness.

Then the daughter kept scratching in the darkness, trying to push the darkness away, and then gradually water seeped into the darkness, and was submerged in the water in a blink of an eye.

After a while, the picture is interrupted, which means that the brain activity stops and the electrical signal of the brain is lost, and the smart eye is also abolished immediately, because the smart eye has no battery and relies on the electrical signal in the human brain to maintain its operation.

After calling the police, the police determined that her daughter should have died.

Caught in the emotion of crying and crying, she didn't notice that the body of her ex-husband became stiff for a moment.

Many girls in front of the large LED screen began to cover their mouths.

There were exclamations.

Although Li Weiming had already had a premonition, he was still extremely shocked when the truth was suddenly revealed.

Yang Fei in the memories in the play also obviously understood the truth.

It turned out that the person he killed was his daughter, no, she didn't, she was killed by him himself!

Maybe his daughter just passed out, but came back to life soon, maybe it was just a broken leg, but when she woke up, he had already put her in the trunk, and then slid into the lake with the car.

His daughter was still struggling at the last moment before she died, still trying to push the rear cover...

But in his eyes, all of this is just... a thick mosaic...

He fell into a dazed state during the funeral, which was even more unacceptable to him than the sudden news of his daughter's death.

After returning home, although Yang Fei felt extremely regretful and hated for himself, he did not make the decision to surrender.

Because hitting a dead person and throwing the body to cover up escape and hitting and wounding a person and then causing death and escaping are completely different things.

Once the matter is exposed, it will definitely completely ruin his life.

However, he already had a girlfriend, and she was about to talk about marriage. If it weren't for the car accident in the park, he would have completely abandoned everything in the past and started a new family.

Facing the smile of his fiancée and the questions of the service staff of the wedding company who had been preparing for their wedding, he finally succumbed to the coward in his brain and chose to remain silent.

But the development of the matter did not give him the opportunity to be silent.

A few days later, his ex-wife contacted him again, saying that she hadn't fallen asleep since her daughter's death and had been suffering from insomnia, so she begged Yang Fei for help so that he could accompany her.

But at this time, Yang Fei has ghosts in his heart, so how dare he continue to entangle with his ex-wife, he desperately wants to use a new wedding to declare the end of the past nightmare.

This time it was his turn to turn on the shield. He excused his ex-wife for not taking good care of his daughter, used anger to cover up his panic, lost his temper at his ex-wife, and completely shielded his ex-wife.

This time it was the ex-wife's turn to pray in front of Yang Fei, watching helplessly as he pressed the shield button.

"Fuck! Feng Shui turns around..." Someone complained.

Li Weiming also felt ironic and ridiculous.

"and then?"

"Then what?"

"You blocked your ex-wife, and then? Is there no sequel to the story?" Not only was Wang Hai not frightened by Yang Fei's story, but he asked with great interest.

"Then..." Yang Fei looked at Wang Hai in a daze, then turned around to look at the heavy snow outside the window, and murmured: "Then... I... and then my fiancée, my fiancée died..."

He suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Hai, as if he felt familiar: "You are... Shanshan, you are..."

Wang Hai showed Yang Fei a sorry and helpless smile, and then disappeared out of thin air.

Then the camera turned, and in a room, Wang Hai took off a helmet, turned around and said, "It's done..."

The woman standing opposite him had exactly the same face as his ex-wife in Yang Fei's memory.

The woman stared at Wang Hai with red eyes as if she was about to cry.

Wang Hai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "He admitted that the place where the body was thrown was about 100 meters to the right of a big pagoda tree on the east side of Lvli Lake..."

The woman shed silent tears, then grabbed a small black box on the table that was about the size of a USB flash drive, turned around and walked out.

"Wait...wait...I'm going to delete the first part!" Wang Hai quickly grabbed the woman: "In order to get him to speak, I told some stories that are inconvenient to tell. If the police find out, I will be in trouble." Will be bigger..."

"Damn it! Absolutely!"

"I just said that there must be something wrong with the hut they stayed in. The two of them can't get out after five or six months together in the same room. The outside is all white. There must be something wrong!"

Fans were shocked by this "divine turning point".

It turned out that the woman was Yang Fei's ex-wife. Although she didn't notice anything strange about her ex-husband when she cried to her ex-husband at her daughter's funeral, her ex-husband's confused state throughout the funeral still caught her attention.

The figure covered in the mosaic flashed past, the ex-husband's strange reaction...

Although there are many people traveling anonymously, the mosaic can't explain anything, and there is no evidence...

But the woman's strong intuition made her lock her doubts on her ex-husband.

But there was no monitoring, no witnesses, and no effective clues. Even if she informed the police of this suspicion, she was not sure that she would eventually find out the truth.

She didn't want to startle the scene, so she pretended she didn't know anything and contacted her ex-husband again, trying to get clues out gradually.

Unexpectedly, her ex-husband blocked her directly, which confirmed her suspicion even more.

So she found Wang Hai, let Wang Hai enter Yang Fei's house, extracted Yang Fei's consciousness copy, loaded it into the memory, and used his "AI debugger" profession to get the answer from Yang Fei's copy consciousness.

Although legally the copy of consciousness cannot be regarded as valid evidence in court, but the place where the body was dumped was obtained from Yang Fei's copy of consciousness. After the vehicle and daughter's body are salvaged, the police will naturally identify the first suspect. For Yang Fei.

And the reason why she was able to find Wang Hai, and Wang Hai was able to enter Yang Fei's home and extract Yang Fei's consciousness copy privately, was because the woman he handled in Wang Hai's story who extracted a copy of her own consciousness as the "AI steward" was the one who was about to have a relationship with Yang Fei. Fly married fiancee.

When the police showed up at the funeral of Yang Fei's fiancée and took away Yang Fei, who was ashamed when he saw the police car, the screen showed a shot of Yang Fei's fiancee's death, which was the heroine in Wang Hai's second story.

This once again caused Li Weiming and others to exclaim.

Yang Fei's fiancée Shanshan was electrocuted and died in a bath. After police investigation, the cause of the electrocution was not an accident, but the deliberate result of her "AI housekeeper".

Her "AI butler" is just a copy of her consciousness. The copy of consciousness is not a human being, has no human rights, and naturally has no responsibility, just like a knife kills a person, and the court will not punish a knife.

As the debugger of this consciousness dungeon AI steward, Wang Hai and his company have to bear the main responsibility and may be prosecuted. Unless he is willing to pay the victim's family a large amount of compensation, the victim's family will sign an understanding agreement to avoid criminal charges. punishment.

But he couldn't come up with such a large sum of money by scraping around. Yang Fei's ex-wife found him and was willing to collect enough compensation for him, but the condition was to help her obtain a copy of her ex-husband's consciousness, and from the copy of consciousness Get the truth about your daughter's death.

But Wang Hai did not escape punishment in the end. Although the first half of the story was deleted, Yang Fei's ex-wife reported him to the police.

At the same time, the ex-wife was also sentenced to six months of social punishment together with Wang Hai for hiring others to illegally obtain copies of other people's consciousness and spying on privacy, that is, everyone will block them for half a year.

Wang Hai walked out of the police station with Yang Fei's ex-wife, who looked like a walking dead. All the people on the street were covered with thick mosaics in their eyes.

In the eyes of others, the red mosaics on their bodies remind everyone that they are criminals in service.

And the U-disk-like black box "containing" the hut surrounded by heavy snow was thrown into the evidence vault by the police, and at the same time, there was the white man who deliberately killed his main body consciousness and body, and had a duplicate consciousness. The plastic egg also quietly stayed on the shelf of the evidence vault.

Yang Fei's dungeon consciousness was still in the narrow room covered by heavy snow, he paced back and forth, trapped here, he lost his mind and picked up all the things he could get in the room and threw them on the ground.

But in a blink of an eye, the facilities and things in the house were reset to their original state.

He alternately roared, alternately begged to the sky, begged for someone to let him out, and suddenly began to hit the wall.

In the white plastic egg next to it, Yang Fei's dead fiancée's duplicate consciousness sat blankly in nothingness, as if ignorant.

The camera retreats and rises, the shelves are full of all kinds of memory copies of consciousness, one shelf, two shelves, there seem to be endless shelves, endless memories.

The cracking of the mirror reminded the audience that the fifth episode was over, but everyone still seemed to be immersed in the shock of this scene.

Li Weiming moved his stiff shoulders and neck, glanced at the progress bar at the bottom of the screen, 60 minutes.

As expected of the last episode, it is indeed a blockbuster, with more information than each of the first four episodes, as if watching a movie.

Lu Xiao, who was sitting next to him, let out a sigh of relief: "Brother Ming, this offline show is worth holding, it's like watching a movie, no, it's more enjoyable than most movies..."
