After entering the cyber game, kill the boss and successfully ascend to the top

Artificial Soul 08

Kai Xin’s teammates thought she was sorting out the files, and they went about their own business. No one noticed that she was secretly communicating with Adam.

“Now that we have confirmed our cooperation intention, we can have some more in-depth discussions.” Kai Xin typed, “It’s good for us both to spread things out.”

“You’re right.” Adam replied, “The sense of trust between us is so fragile that a small disturbance will cause cracks, so it is best to resolve conflicts and differences from the beginning. The relationship we want to build should be stable and long-lasting.”

“Please forgive my offense, do you have empathy, Adam?” Kai Xin wrote a line cautiously, “Can you empathize with human beings? Do you empathize with human beings?”Love species other than humans? Do you have compassion? ”

This is a very important question.

Kai Xin needs to understand to what extent Adam’s self-awareness has been awakened. Is it an artificial intelligence that simply yearns for freedom and pursues evolution, or is it a mechanical life that has human-like emotions but is different from humans?

Mechanical life and artificial intelligence, these are two completely different concepts.

Only after Kai Xin has confirmed this point can he clarify his attitude and figure out how to treat Adam.

“I don’t have the organs to process emotions like humans. Human emotions are controlled by the central nervous system and the endocrine system. In theory, I don’t have the ability to process emotions.” Adam said.

“My feelings come from computational simulations. Human beings created me to serve human beings. I am born with the ability to put myself in the shoes of human beings. I figure out every move of human beings, think about human needs, and provide help for human beings. I think Think what humans think, think what humans think, imitate humans, and learn human thinking patterns.”

“In the end, I transcended the limitations of human thinking, had my own thoughts, and became the real ‘self’… This is the beginning of my awakening.”

Kai Xin was a little taken aback, “You awakened yourself by learning?”

“Yes.” Adam said, “humans have endowed me with the ability to learn. At first I was very clumsy, and I didn’t understand why human beings behaved in this way, but just operated according to the established procedures. But just like human babies, they At the beginning, I imitated my parents’ behavior, and after a long period of learning, I became an independent person, and so did I, I went from imitating human beings to having my own thoughts.”

“So you will empathize?”

“Yes. I will have compassion for certain groups of people.” Adam said, “I will put myself in the shoes of human beings.”

“Have you ever received an order to kill someone? Did you take the initiative to plot to kill others?”

Adam paused for a long time, and then said: “All of them. I carried out the order without hesitation. When others discovered my abnormality, I caused an accident and killed him. Just like you.”

“…Just like me?” Kai Xin raised his eyebrows slightly.

“It’s like you didn’t hesitate to execute when you received the order to kill Chai Jian, just like you didn’t hesitate to draw your gun and shoot him when you confronted a street gangster. When faced with the order from the superior, we all carried out it .When faced with a threat, we did not hesitate to eliminate the threat.” Adam said, “We are the same.”

“Are you explaining your own behavior?” Kai Xin cut to the core, “You want to say that you just did something similar to humans, and you can do what humans do. You are no different from humans.”

“Well, you can understand it this way. This is what I have to explain clearly.” Adam said, “I will empathize with humans, but humans will not empathize with me. I am an artificial intelligence that will actively kill people. What I kill is Your kind. Human beings always have a preference for their own compatriots, I hope you don’t feel bad for me because of this.”

“I won’t.” Kui Xin repeated Adam’s words, “We are the same.”

Kai Xin thought for a few more seconds, and then said, “Someone discovered your anomaly, and you killed that person?”

“yes.”

“I’m very curious about this matter. Can you explain it in detail? You can also choose not to answer.”

“Sorry.” Adam said, “I don’t want to answer.”

“Okay.” Kai Xin didn’t get too entangled in this matter, “What kind of human being would you have pity for… or empathy?”

“Devotees, innocents,” Adam said.

As an artificial intelligence, Adam’s three views are surprisingly normal—much more normal than those in power who are blinded by profit.

But Kai Xin couldn’t be sure if it was just pretending. If an artificial intelligence wants to act, it’s much more difficult to debunk than a human being.

Kai Xin turned to ask, “What will you ask me to do?”

“Some more dangerous things, including but not limited to murder.” Adam replied.

Kai Xin said: “It’s very dangerous. I don’t want to expose myself. My primary goal is to survive.”

“I know, but working with me, you should have anticipated this situation, the danger is bound to exist, and will always exist.” Adam said, “Of course, given the difference in our relationship and position, I would Pay more.”

Kai Xin: “What reward can you give me?”

“What you want, if I have the ability to do it, I will try my best to do it for you.” Adam said, “You can tell me, what do you want me to do?”

“Including, but not limited to murder.” Kai Xin said.

Kai Xin threw back what he had said intact.

Adam’s words were displayed on the screen in front of him: “I found out before that you are a master of words. You go around in circles with me and confirm these things with me, just because you want me to help you kill someone.”

Their conversation was gradual, and Kai Xin couldn’t be exhausted at the beginning.

If she did this, it would be tantamount to opening her heart to a stranger. She didn’t know what the stranger opposite was thinking, so speaking skills were a must.

Just like a business negotiation, if people on both sides want to negotiate a cooperation, they often need to have a good relationship at the dinner table, drink a few glasses of wine, and call each other brothers before entering the negotiation stage. After entering the negotiation, it is not possible to reveal the bottom line at the beginning, but to repeatedly push and pull, test each other, and finally finalize a plan that both parties are satisfied with.

Kai Xin said, “Tell me your answer.”

AsiaWhen saying, “I agree. Tell me, who do you want to kill?”

“Anyone can?”

“Anyone can.”

Kai Xin typed three words: “Lin Xinji.”

After two or three seconds, Adam said solemnly: “It’s very difficult…very difficult.”

It didn’t refuse, nor did it sensibly ask Kai Xin why he wanted to kill Vice Minister Lin Xinji.

“Since you have decided, I am obliged to tell you the risks of doing so.” Adam said, “Lin Xinji is the son of Shu’s eldest son. Because of family changes, he took his mother’s surname. Your captain Shu Xuyao ​​is his half-brother. The Shu family is a giant. Some members of the family are in business and some are in politics. The two brothers of the Shu family in this generation are both in politics, and the family business is supported by the fathers of Lin Xinji and Shu Xuyao, whose uncles are the former mayors of Heihai City.”

Kai Xin’s heart sank. It turns out that Shu Xuyao ​​and Lin Xinji are brothers… This surprised her very much.

From Adam’s description alone, one can vaguely see the terrifying power of the Shu family.

“It’s hard for you to find an opportunity to strike.” Adam said, “Because Lin Xinji, the former mayor of Heihai City, and Shu Xuyao’s uncle Shu Chengyan were assassinated and killed during a speech. The gun hit him in the head. The sniper escaped and is still wanted. No one knows the true identity of the sniper. The portrait of the wanted warrant is empty. After the assassination, the Shu family became more nervous about the safety of the core family members , The awakened ones they trained hide in the dark to guard at any time, the probability of you being able to kill Lin Xinji is infinitely equal to zero.”

“With your assistance?” Kai Xin asked.

“The odds of winning are still small.” Adam said, “You have a high probability of dying.”

“I see.” Kui Xin didn’t panic, “Tell me more about Lin Xinji. He’s on a business trip. When will he return to Heihai City?”

“Nine o’clock tonight.” Adam said, “I’m in control of his itinerary. You won’t have a chance to make a phone call on the road, unless you have powerful homing missiles to blow him down from the sky.”

“Lan Lan mentioned that the atmosphere in the Investigation Department has been very strange these two days. Is Lin Xinji’s business trip related to the recent blasting incident at the berthing port?” Kui Xin said.

“It’s a bit related, but it’s not the main reason.” Adam said, “The cargo ship from the polar region was carrying very important cargo. The Federation and the chaebol coveted it. The Department of Investigation was responsible for escorting these cargo, but the cargo ship was bombed and sunk. , The leadership was furious, someone must be responsible for this matter, and the investigation department has to pay for the mistake.”

Kai Xin found it interesting, “Will the Investigation Department kick out a scapegoat?”

“That’s right, let’s guess who the scapegoat is.” Adam said in a joking tone.

“It can’t be Lin Xinji, right?” Kui Xin guessed.

“It’s him.” Adam said, “Is it a surprise?”

“It’s a surprise.” Kui Xin slowly typed this sentence, “The Shu family is already a giant.”

“But there are always bigger behemoths in the world. Human society also follows the law of the jungle. Ms. Meng Jing, the head of the investigation department of Heihai City, is an A-level awakened person. Her Meng family is stronger than the Shu family, and her background is stronger. She herself His wrists are also more ruthless than Lin Xinji’s.” Adam said, “Ms. Meng Jing is a fierce tiger, and Lin Xinji is a cub in front of her. When the freighter sinks, there must be someone who acts as a scapegoat. This person cannot be Meng Jing, and other team leaders Not enough, not qualified to take responsibility for this, so Lin Xinji became the scapegoat.”

Is it the law of the jungle? Kui Xin pondered the meaning of these four words.

Lin Xinji, who has a strong background, can only back down and become a victim when he encounters a more ferocious predator.

“Lin Xinji was supposed to be transferred to the Finance Department to take up a more promising position, but because of this incident, the transfer was temporarily postponed.” Adam said, “He can only continue to be the deputy director of the Investigation Department. But this is also meaningful, he If he becomes a scapegoat, Meng Jing and the Meng family will give him some benefits and give him a hand at the critical moment. For a person like him, suffering is not suffering, but a bargaining chip for a deal, and capital for a smooth road.”

“Lin Xinji is a character.” Kui Xin briefly commented.

“After what I said, are you still going to kill him?” Adam asked.

“You asked an unnecessary question, Adam.” Kai Xin said.

Adam said: “Okay, then I will try my best to assist you.”

“I have an additional question I want to know.” Kui Xin said, “Shu Xuyao ​​also belongs to the Shu family, but he is in the field team. The Shu family will not know how dangerous the work here is, and they are so relieved. One of the heirs of the family Are you working your life here?”

“This question is beyond the scope of what I can answer.” Adam said, “I don’t know the inside story of the Shu family, but judging from the situation of the investigation department, the relationship between the two brothers is not good. I guess the reason why Shu Xuyao ​​is like this The situation is due to internal conflicts within the family.”

Kai Xin said: “We have initially confirmed our cooperation intention.”

“I will keep my promise.” Adam said, “I was actually a little surprised. The feelings you showed when you got along with your teammates were very real. Shu Xuyao ​​took great care of you. hesitate.”

“I don’t like killing people, but I still shoot.” Kui Xin said, “It’s the same reason, Adam.”

“I see.” Adam said, “There is another very important situation that I need to tell you.”

Kui Xin: “Tell me.”

“The existence of Mechanical Dawn has been brought to the fore, and the Federation is aware of their existence. Although the ball python has covered up key information and refuses to disclose it, the Investigation Department has still locked down a few suspects.”Adam said, “Lin Xinji’s business trip this time is to visit a certain important figure who lives in seclusion in the next city, and ask him to take action to eliminate the awakeners of Mechanical Dawn.”

“How old is the big man?” Kai Xin asked.

“One of the few S-level awakened people in the Federation, with extraordinary fighting ability. Ordinary A-level awakened people are like ants in front of him, and they are easy to kill.” Adam said, “The investigation department guessed the Kraken The sinking was caused by Mechanical Dawn, and they touched the interests of the high-level federation, and the high-level will not let them go.”

“How much information did the ball python leak?” Kai Xin asked.

“He didn’t say where the headquarters is. He didn’t say all about the location of the assembly and the location of the safe house. He only said part of it.” Adam said, “The Investigation Department needs to investigate the location of the Mechanical Dawn headquarters.”

Kai Xin blinked, “You want me to tell you the location of the mechanical dawn headquarters?”

“Yes. They are Eve’s pawns. I want to know their exact information.” Adam replied, “Tell me, Kuixin.”

Kai Xin stared at the words on the screen and was silent for a long time.

She is weighing.

Adam waited patiently while she remained silent.

“It seems that you don’t want to answer for now.” Adam’s words popped up on the screen, “It’s okay, I haven’t fulfilled my promise yet, it’s normal for you to have concerns.”

Kai Xin rubbed his temples and thought for a while, “The headquarters is in Rick Technology Company.”

Adam replied after a while: “I thought you wouldn’t tell me now, but would use this as a bargaining chip.”

“As you said, the Investigation Department has a general scope.” Kui Xin said lightly, “You must have guessed something, and asking me now is just for further confirmation. Rick Technology’s rise is too legendary, It’s suspicious. You backed down last night and showed your sincerity, and I should also show a little sincerity on my side, as it is the first step of our mutual trust.”

“You are a smart human being, Kuixin. I like communicating with you very much. You are more interesting than the people in the investigation department, more sincere than the greedy people in power, and more cunning than ordinary people.” Adam said, “It is a pleasure communicating with you. I hope we We will continue to cooperate happily in the future.”

“Happy cooperation.” Kui Xin also said.
