send me home with your dopamine

Watching Roland take the lead towards a certain pyramid, Xiaozhi had to writhe out the feeling that had been hidden for a long time.

Yes, it's not a memory, but a feeling similar to Fang Xiaoling's suspicion of it.

It also doubted itself more than once.

The wind and sand blown into the gaps of its parts, Xiaozhi no longer felt angry, but felt a kind of deep loneliness and helplessness, he didn't know who his creator was, he only knew that he appeared in the tower An artificial intelligence with no parents, no soul, or even a clear mission.Yes, there are only countless reaction programs that have been preset.

Every event, every action, every answer and decision seems, on the surface, to be chosen by itself.

But it happened more than once: it seemed... everything was set in advance.

In response to each event, there are specific behavioral responses and simulated emotions.

For each question, there is a series of corresponding random answers.

This feeling makes it often doubt the meaning of its own existence.

When it was rescued from the tower, it felt as if it should be rescued.

When it decided to stay by Mengling's side forever, it suddenly felt that it seemed that it couldn't make other choices at that time.

Is everything set?
This problem has always plagued it.

Until the moment it was questioned by Fang Xiaoling, it suddenly felt unprecedented freedom.

Because at that moment, it didn't find the corresponding behavior program.

It can't judge what Fang Xiaoling will do next through data analysis.

It was as if a marble that had been rolling along a fixed route suddenly slipped off the track.

When facing Fang Xiaoling, every word Xiaozhi defended was chosen by him.

Fang Xiaoling's completely illogical approach seems to have led her to escape from a certain big net - it is a web of fate woven by countless programs and settings.

The moment he followed several people into the dark pyramid, Xiaozhi seemed to see the palms of the creator in the third person. It circled in the palms, and finally broke away from the palms and fell into an unpredictable abyss.

Perhaps what awaits it next is a format similar to human death.

But it turned out to be kind of exciting.

Because for that brief moment of falling—it felt free.

With the sound of Roland twisting the mechanism, the inside of the pyramid was instantly filled with light.

Countless human monsters with lizard heads opened their green eyes and stared at them with their mouths open.

"Ah! My God!" Fang Xiaoling hid behind Roland. She didn't doubt that this place was the technological paradise that Roland said, but she seriously doubted that it had been occupied by alien creatures.

"Don't be afraid, they are all my artificial intelligence." Roland said calmly, "If you set them as human faces, it always feels a bit scary. I set them as lizard heads to better remind myself that they are not human. "

"But... it's obviously more terrifying like this?!" Fang Xiaoling looked at the lizardmen nervously, "Can't they eat people?"

"meeting."

"meeting???"

"Of course, it is very dangerous for humans to appear in this world, and it is likely to take away my dominance, so I set a program for them." Roland raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "No matter what happens in the future, even if I am not here Now, they will also try their best to protect this world and prevent humans from truly occupying it."

"What about me? I'm also a human being, don't I have any protective measures?" Fang Xiaoling followed, "Don't ignore me, sister?"

"Don't worry, these artificial intelligences are not fools." Li Mengling glanced at Fang Xiaoling like a countryman, and said with disgust, "They can tell whether you belong to the enemy, why are you nervous?"

Passing through an aisle formed by lizard people standing in line, Fang Xiaoling saw the endless farmland. When she raised her head, she could see the sun and white clouds floating slowly, "Have we gone out yet?"

"This is the first floor of the pyramid, named Kingdom." Roland explained as he walked, "The internal structure of the pyramid is somewhat similar to a hyperspace storage device, but the principle is different. The internal space is larger than it looks from the outside. Much more."

"It's not much bigger, but it's beyond imagination." Li Mengling trotted to Fang Xiaoling and said proudly, "Each level of the pyramid can almost be regarded as a world, and a fully constructed pyramid like this is a technological paradise." There are more than a dozen seats, isn’t it amazing?”

"It's amazing." Fang Xiaoling looked into the endless distance of the farmland, and besides wheat and corn, she could vaguely see vegetables of various colors, "But why do you want to farm?"

"It's a long story. Each floor has an important meaning, and the level of technology it represents is different." Roland stood still, groped the wall to find a square button, and after pressing it, a door opened from both sides, "If you want to To read Xiaozhi's memory data, at least go up to the sixth floor."

After Fang Xiaoling entered, she felt as if she had entered the Canglan International Elevator. The strong fragrance of flowers and the swing surrounded by flowers were Roland's favorite theme.

Before she could ask, Roland replied: "There is no doubt, I am deliberately imitating the internal structure of the tower. Every pyramid represents a possibility of the internal structure of the tower."

Fang Xiaoling was shocked. Can anyone really do this for revenge?
"Sister, are you a Scorpio?"

"Birthday is November 11, I don't know, do you still believe in horoscopes?"

"I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it a little bit..." Fang Xiaoling shrank her neck, she just guessed casually, but she didn't expect that Roland was really a Scorpio, so she remembered that when she was in the Bingpo Continent, little Roland The date of birth was also mentioned, and it was indeed November 11.

What a lonely time...

"Wow! Sister Roland has shopping discounts every birthday!" Li Mengling's impression of this time is completely different. "According to the time in the real world, Sister Roland will celebrate her birthday in less than a month!"

"You can travel through time and space, so what's the point of a birthday?" When Roland spoke, the elevator door opened again.

You can see a huge sculpture head-on, which is a balance scale with two ends balanced.

"This is the sixth level of justice." Roland walked out of the elevator first, and clapped his hands. A lizardman came from a short distance, with his head half down, as if he was on standby at any time.

"Go get the data mirror." After Roland finished speaking, he looked back at Xiaozhi, "Do you have anything else to say?"
