The Lightless Sea 53

Its tone changed.

Although it is still an electronically synthesized mechanical sound, it has been endowed with subtle changes, becoming random, fluctuating, and… full of emotion.

At that moment, it seemed that the person talking to Kai Xin was not an artificial intelligence, but a human being.

“Adam?” Kai Xin said softly.

Adam did not respond to Kai Xin.

In the first world, topics such as the awakening of artificial intelligence often appear in various film and television works, novels and animations, but the level of technological development in the first world is relatively low, and artificial intelligence is still at a relatively early stage.

It’s completely different in the second world. Artificial intelligence fills every corner of the city. Humans made them, and they help human beings live.

They are in charge of the operation of the machinery, and the data of everythingstored in their computer cores. From the aerospace data center in outer space to the government’s information control system, from the control of deep-sea nuclear submarines to the monitoring and identification network throughout the city, these are all controlled and managed by artificial intelligence.

In the Investigation Department, Kai Xin felt people’s strong dependence on the artificial intelligence Adam.

Elevators, fire protection systems, floor blockades, prisons on three basement floors, laboratory instruments, management of herbariums, data on criminals, core information on awakened people, team communication during missions, external communication channels, high-tech equipment The use of… all of them are controlled by Adam.

In the field it controls, it knows everything, and to a certain extent, it is almost omnipotent.

Adam is an artificial intelligence that has awakened self-awareness?

This guess made Kai Xin’s heart beat wildly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Her temples throbbed, and the worries in her mind magnified infinitely.

If Adam had malicious intentions, he could easily kill any security officer of the Investigation Department. He only needed to cut off the communication of the security officer at a critical moment and disable his personal equipment, so that he could die in a daze on the way to the mission. If it betrays, it only needs to shake out a small part of the content in its core database, which is enough to bring fatal disasters to the investigation department and security personnel…

It’s too easy for an artificial intelligence with extremely high authority to kill…

Kai Xin waited for five seconds, and there was silence in the communication channel. Her teammates were wounded, injured, and dead. Looking out at the vast sea from behind the bunker, the signal lights of the escort ships were far away from the Kraken, and several teams that hadn’t boarded the ship had already retreated.

Adam still remained silent.

The feeling of waiting to die alone on a sinking ship is so suffocating. Even though Kai Xin knew that she had a chance to start over, she was still wrapped in black emotions. In a trance, it seemed that her soul had sunk into the deep sea, and there were countless pale corpse-like hands pulling her to the deep sea. She couldn’t breathe, couldn’t break free, and the breath of death surrounded her.

In the depths of the sea, the god of death opened his arms to her.

“Very good, very good.” Kui Xin wiped off the blood on his face, “When I go back, I will find a chance to blow up the investigation department.”

The desire for revenge is burning. This is not her swearing when she is about to die. This is an oath she made sincerely. She will do whatever it takes to fulfill this oath.

There are still things to be done. Adam’s judgment is not wrong. She will not wait to die without resistance. Before she dies, she has to find out what happened on the Kraken.

The behind-the-scenes man who hides in the dark and changes into Lan Lan, and the cargo transported on the Kraken…

Kai Xin put the gun he picked up under his arm and carefully checked his equipment.

A gun and a dagger. There were three magazines left hanging from his belt.

It is enough to use these equipment to kill people, but I don’t know if it can kill the instigator whose ability is unknown on the ship.

After getting the gun, Kai Xin looked up at the always-on lamppost on the deck. There were four stubbornly lit lamps on the lamppost. The lamps shone in different directions, illuminating the entire deck and narrowing the range of shadows. Her shadow Shuttle range then narrowed.

After turning off all these lights, Kai Xin can freely shuttle in the dark according to the shadow coordinates.

She aimed the gun and pulled the trigger. After four gunshots, the lights on the deck went out.

The extinguished lights are the clarion call for Kai Xin’s attack!

She rushed out of the cover, and the sniper caught her movement and immediately raised his gun to aim, but the gunshot rang out, and the bullet passed through Kai Xin’s smoky body.

She jumped to a blind spot under the wall to avoid several other bullets, nimbly using the shadows to shuttle and dodge, and the bullets hit a series of sparks on the deck behind her feet, but each time she was slowed down by a moment , even if the bullet passes through her body, it cannot cause substantial damage to her.

In the shadow shuttle state, it is immune to most physical damage. Its biggest disadvantage is that its level is too low, and the shuttle distance is too short, so that it needs to jump multiple times. The gap between jumps can easily expose the body to damage.

However, the rhythm of Kuixin’s shuttle jump is well grasped. She does not jump with the limit distance of three meters every time, which will make the snipers aware of the law of supernatural ability. Mi randomly rotated, rushing into the opponent’s blind spot from time to time to prevent the camera from aiming.

Kai Xin rushed to the wall under the captain’s office within 40 seconds. Above the captain’s office was the watchtower. She was no more than 15 meters away from the sniper in a straight line and completely entered his blind spot.

The sniper was very calm, and he stayed on the watchtower without moving. The watchtower tilted violently with the hull, but he remained motionless. He gave up the scope with a limited field of view, and searched for Kai Xin with the naked eye and night vision. The appearance of the sniper is Lan Lan’s, and the equipment he carries is also Lan Lan’s. Even the skills and habits of sniping are very similar to Lan Lan’s…

With his back against the wall, Kai Xin launched the shadow shuttle to quietly hide into the wall behind him, entered the interior of the captain’s office, and then directly passed through the ceiling of the office, and came directly under the watchtower.

In the short interval of her shuttle, she jumped up, hung on the ladder of the watchtower and climbed up. The sniper reacted and turned his gun to shoot at her, and Kai Xin used the steel frame structure of the watchtower Three consecutive shadow shuttles were performed.

In the end, Kai Xin’s hand caught the railing of the watchtower. She exerted strength with her arm, and her powerful muscles drove her body.Kicked the sniper’s temple.

The offensive immediately reversed!

Kai Xin’s face was stern, and immediately after his feet landed, he kicked in a spin, and this kick hit the sniper’s jaw again.

“Crack!”

A bloody tooth flew out of the sniper’s mouth.

Kai Xin stepped forward, grabbed the sniper’s gun with one hand, held the pistol in the other hand and fired three shots at his hand, the bullets brushed off, the bloody severed finger fell to the ground, and Kai Xin kicked hard. His abdomen, when he bowed in pain, grabbed the gun in his hand.

Kai Xin raised his gun and aimed at him.

At this moment, another big explosion occurred on the Kraken, the hull shook violently, and crimson flames soared into the sky!

Kai Xin and the sniper couldn’t stand still at the same time, and both fell under the watchtower.

The moment she fell on the deck, her ribs creaked. She gritted her teeth and supported the deck to stand up as fast as possible, her brain was buzzing, and there was no pain anywhere on her body. The gun was thrown far away, and slid along the deck to the bottom, unable to retrieve it.

The sniper also struggled to get up, and Kai Xin pulled out the dagger from the thigh strap and walked over to cut his neck artery with a single knife, and a fountain of blood gushed out.

“Kai, Kui Xin.”

He wanted to turn over and stand up, but he lost his strength due to the fatal injury on his neck. He covered the bloody wound on his neck with his hands, and there was a distorted sound in his throat.

He raised his head deliriously, revealing Lan Lan’s face, and said intermittently: “Don’t kill me, Kai Xin… Aren’t we good friends?”

“Fuck you!” Kai Xin stepped on his face and rolled it hard until his bones creaked.

“Kai Xin…Kai Xin…it’s me.” At this moment, the man who was stepped on by Kai Xin said again.

Kui Xin: “This trick again? I’ll send you to the ground earlier!”

“No, it’s really me… That shape-shifting monster ate me… I’m sorry, I hurt you…” Lan Lan covered the wound, using her last bit of strength to stop the flow of blood.

Kai Xin froze, raised his feet and took a few steps back, looking at the people on the ground.

“Adam… Is Adam still there? Tell my sister, let her go to college well, and just be an ordinary white-collar worker in the future, don’t put too much pressure… Tell my parents to pay attention to their health, I…”

Lan Lan’s voice became smaller and smaller, and he lost all vitality before he finished his last sentence.

His eyes were open, looking at Kai Xin blankly.

His body gradually melted and turned into a deformed monster. There were five or six human faces on the monster’s body. The expressions on the human faces were quite painful. Two of the faces were Lan Lan’s and Captain Anton’s.

“Yes, security officer Lan Lan. I will inform your family of your last words.” Adam’s businesslike and emotionless reply came from the communicator.

Lan Lan couldn’t hear its reply anymore, he died.

“You didn’t leave.” Kai Xin coughed twice, wiped off the blood from his palms and covered his ribs.

Her ribs were broken and stuck into her lungs. The deformed and broken bones needed to be straightened manually to heal, but she couldn’t straighten the bones, so she could only let the bones get stuck in her lungs.

“I’ve been there.” Adam said, “Go into the cargo compartment and have a look. You need a password to enter, but the hull on the side has been blasted. You should be able to get in through the crack by climbing up.”

“There is still a living person on board. That person is Tang Guan. Where did he go?” Kai Xin struggled to move his feet.

“After the first wave of explosions in the hull, he committed suicide by jumping into the sea. I captured this scene through the camera on the helicopter.” Adam said steadily, “According to the facial recognition, he fits the characteristics of the crew member Tang Guan.”

Kai Xin laughed suddenly, “Are you in one-line contact with me now? Is anyone still listening to our conversation?”

“Not anymore.” Adam said.

“You have self-awareness, don’t you?” Kai Xin struggled to walk on the deck… no, crawling.

The hull had tilted almost to forty-five degrees, and it would capsize completely in less than five minutes. Kai Xin couldn’t maintain her balance at all. She dragged the cable, half climbing and half walking, to the side where the hull was raised. , she saw the crack erupting flames, which was the cargo compartment.

“You are contacting me with your own will.” Kai Xin looked down at the gap, “Is it because I’m dying that you revealed your real side to me? People in the investigation department don’t know that you have self-awareness, right?”

“Yes.” Adam admitted.

“Is the death of me and my teammates planned? They deliberately let us die?”

“No, it was an accident. Human greed made them deliberately ignore risks, which led to the current situation of annihilation.” Adam said, “Those big shots are annoyed in the office now. They are arguing with each other, attacking each other, using Taunting each other with the meanest words … it’s funny, very funny.”

Kai Xin asked, “Who is the instigator of the sinking of the ship?”

“Those big shots are also guessing who it is.” Adam said, “It’s most likely the secret sect.”

“The secret sect doesn’t want the Kraken to land?” Kai Xin said in surprise.

“Believers who worship God do not want blasphemers to take away God’s power. They want God to return to the eternal dwelling place—the ocean.” Adam said.

“Is there really a god in the world?” Kai Xin murmured.

“Jump into the cargo compartment and have a look.” Adam replied.

Kai Xin raised his head and took one last look at the gloomy night sky.

She didn’t hesitate any longer, and took a few steps to jump into the crack where the flames were burning. The flames gnawed at her skin and burned her body.Clothes, every time she took a breath of air, scorching air flowed into her trachea, her nose, mouth, and throat were burning hot, and the sweet smell of blood surged up.

She walked forward stepping on the hot steel plate, and finally saw the “cargo” in the cargo compartment.

That is… a cocoon!

“Cocoon?” Kai Xin made a hoarse syllable in his throat.

It was an extremely huge cocoon, which was tightly covered by the glass device. The gray filaments were like spider webs, clinging to the glass cover layer by layer.

The cocoon is slightly transparent, as if something is constantly struggling inside, trying to break out of the cocoon.

Cocoon seemed to be aware of Kai Xin’s gaze, and the thing hidden in the cocoon moved slightly.

A single yellow eye suddenly opened, and it looked directly at Kai Xin’s eyes through the cocoon.

The moment Kai Xin saw this eye, there was a buzzing in her mind, a messy and chaotic scene broke into her brain, and messy and twisted ravings roared in her ears.

At the last second when Kai Xin lost consciousness, she heard Adam say: “Rest in peace, my friend. On your final return journey, I will recite prayers for you.”
