Boundless Darkness 53

How to play an artificial human?

Imitate their empty eyes and blank expressions, reduce body movements, try not to speak until others take the initiative to ask questions, be patient in the face of pain, and reduce emotional fluctuations in the face of enemies and death.

Ghost’s eyelids drooped, trying to avoid making eye contact with his “teammates”.

The zeroed self-awareness was imprisoned in the depths of consciousness, with almost no fluctuations and no signs of resistance. Artificial people are artificial people. They don’t know why they exist, and they don’t have the concept of fighting for themselves. They just live, they are machines that obey orders, that’s all.

It’s like domesticating dogs. Dogs’ ancestors came into contact with humans and were domesticated by humans. Being friendly to humans has become their survival instinct and is engraved into their DNA. After perfecting the manufacturing technology of bionics and androids, Dawn of the Machine not only strengthened the learning concept of bionics, but also strengthened the concept of obedience.

Subsequent generations of artificial humans are becoming more and more obedient, more and more like puppets, and it is becoming more and more difficult to awaken self-awareness. Returning to zero is typical.

He was let out of the jar and instilled with knowledge, but he still looked like a blank sheet of paper.

The silver face is really different from Returning to Zero. Except for some blank cognition, it is exactly the same as a normal human being.

“The butter stewed cod is delicious, you can try it, but why is the staple food in Beluga City always potatoes! I want to eat rice and noodles.” Yin Mian muttered.

The catering robot beeped: “Sorry, staple food like rice will be served tomorrow, and here are noodles with tomato sauce and lasagna.”

Yin Mian said, “Forget it, let’s make mashed potatoes.”

As soon as the food was served, Yin Nian immersed himself in eating hard, and said, “Eat, return to zero, the body will recover faster if you eat more!”

Ghost: “…”

Why is this guy so stupid? Compared with Amber Obsidian, they are two extremes! Those two brothers were too complicated in their minds, they were always taciturn and preoccupied.

To be honest, Huber and Obsidian are not the kind of subordinates who are easy to control. They always have their own ideas. They are very eager for freedom and to live a normal human life, which is why they choose to leave the Mechanical Dawn.

There is no way for them to break away from Mechanical Dawn on their own. They have to find someone to help them. But behind the Mechanical Dawn is Eve. Eve is the federal government’s administrative assistant AI. It is impossible for them to take refuge in the federal government, let alone the secret religious order that is acting treacherously, so they chose the rebel army.

During a certain mission, Amber Obsidian killed a peripheral member of the Rebel Army, and thus learned something about the Rebel Army.

It wasn’t Ghost who approached the two brothers, it was the two brothers who approached the rebels on their own initiative.

It’s just that the two brothers planned for so long, and in the end only Hu Po managed to escape.

Occasionally, Ghost feels a little lucky. Fortunately, Black Yao did not escape from Mechanical Dawn. The two brothers might come up with some plan together, such as breaking away from the Rebels or something… Now he is not worried about this, because Amber wants to use the power of the Rebels to rescue his brother Obsidian.

“What if Obsidian is already dead?” Ghost asked him.

“He’s not dead yet. If he dies, I’ll feel it.” Amber said.

The twins have subtle telepathy, and they can even directly communicate with each other through telepathy. They are in step with each other, have a tacit understanding, and have an extraordinary tacit understanding. Amber will not give up rescuing his brother.

After eating, the wristband rang suddenly, and a guy named Yechan called all the task execution team to a meeting.

GhosT remained calm and followed behind Yinmian.

The meeting room is a silver-white room. Ye Chan sits at the table with her legs crossed, looking like she’s doing nothing.

Standing in the room was a woman with rose tattoos on her face who was equipped with a robotic hand. Beside her was a tall, almost completely remodeled cyborg. One is the Thorn Rose mentioned by Hei Yao, and the other is Kong Yue, the head of the combat department mentioned by Ji Xuan.

“The action failed last night, resulting in a small loss.” Ye Chan’s gaze stayed on Ghost for a moment, “How is your body? Can you resume action?”

“Yes.” Ghost only answered these two words.

“That’s great, let’s continue according to the original plan.” Ye Chan said, “We passed by the rich woman last night, but it doesn’t matter, she is still in this city, she can’t leave here.”

“Are you so sure? If it were me, the invincible enemy discovered my existence, and I would have already run away.” Thorn Rose questioned, “If the enemy is here, as long as his brain is not broken, he will run away, right?”

“The reason why I’m so sure is because I received a reply on the dark web at nine o’clock this morning.” Ye Chan said.

Yinmian said, “Ah? Are you going to an interview?”

“Yes.” Yechan said, “Go and confirm whether Wuguang is related to the rich woman, and then confirm whether Wuguang is related to the player… I think the latter is probably inseparable. If Wuguang is there, she may run away Insignificant.”

Ghost was thoughtful upon hearing this.

“Return to zero, I’ll leave it to you.” Yechan knocked on the table, and a brief reply was projected on the table. It was an address, “Go here for an interview.”

Thorn Rose said: “Last night, the primary target of the sniper was Gui Ling. She may have seen Gui Ling’s physical characteristics through the sight. If the sniper is a rich woman, she has a connection with Wuguang, so Gui Ling has gone She will be recognized in a second, and she will kill her. And the location of the interview is not fixed, I am worried that there will be an ambush there.”

“Recognize it when you recognize it. She listed Guiling as the primary target of attack, because she felt that he was a threat to her. If Guiling appeared in front of her at this time, would she be able to hold back?” Ye Chan said, ” She wanted to hook us, and we hooked her.”

“Yes, I will complete the task.” Ghost said.

He played role-playing to his heart’s content. There is a very important reason for choosing to return to zero, that is, he is very good at disguising, and he doesn’t need to do too much. It is enough to say a word of obedience at a critical moment. More importantly, the ability to return to zero is very good, he likes it very much.

He has already planned to lurk for a long time, and he can do a lot of things with the ability of returning to zero. After the ability is activated, the “teammates” around him who have lost their ability will be like having an arm cut off, and their combat power will be greatly reduced. Cleanup will be easier.

Another example is Yechan, his spatial ability is difficult to deal with, but fortunately it is only A-level, and the ability to return to zero is also A-level, which can take effect on A-level extraordinary abilities. Maybe he can get rid of the enemy of the rebel army, Eve’s capable subordinate, or he can find a chance to occupy Ye Chan’s body…

The reason why Ghost knows so clearly the ability limitations and activation conditions of Return to Zero is because he guessed who the prototype of the robot Return to Zero is——Zhong Xinou, the head of the Federal Special Affairs Department.

It’s just that the name of Zhong Xinou’s ability was named “Boundary of Nothingness” in the official document, and Mechanical Dawn changed its name to “Return to Zero”. The appearance of the android Gui Ling and Zhong Xinou is not 100% similar, but if you look closely at the eyebrows, you can still find some clues.

Ghost really wanted to know how Eve obtained this gene sample. It did so without anyone noticing it, and the person whose gene was extracted was unaware.

But it doesn’t matter what Eve does. What matters is the “interview” in front of her.

Ghost has not figured out why the ferryman suddenly betrayed the two organizations. He thought for a long time, and felt that it is understandable that she only betrayed the Rebels or only the Mechanical Dawn, but she betrayed both at the same time… She thought she had lived too long right?

I had a meeting with Dawn of the Machine today, and Ghost vaguely grasped the truth from Ye Chan’s words.

She is her, but she is not her anymore. She is very likely to become a player.

“Okay, let’s go.” Yechan said, “Remember to bring new equipment and be more prepared. Kongyue will go with you this time.”

The iron-clad cyborg nodded and walked out of the office first.

They went to the equipment room to sort out the equipment together.

“The protective effect of the armor is still too weak. Let’s just wear the hidden exoskeleton. If the clothes are thicker, you won’t be able to see it.” Yin Mian said emphatically to Ghost, “You almost died last night, so be careful.”

Ghost accepted the care of his colleagues with a blank face, and put on all the equipment with the intelligent assistance of the manipulator.

“Hey, this is the new equipment, right? The chameleon button.” The silver face pinched a device the size of a silver fingernail and glanced twice. You can play with it, but don’t use it in actual combat. Can this thing be officially put into actual combat now?”

“That’s not a chameleon button, that’s an optical camouflage device.” Thorn Rose said, “The organization won’t put undeveloped machines in the equipment box. Being able to put them in means that it has been fully developed.”

She pressed the optical camouflage device, and aA beam of light was projected, and the thorn rose blended with the surrounding environment as the brilliance changed.

“That’s right, it’s very useful.” Thorn Rose pinned it to her combat uniform.

Ghost also carefully packed the equipment box. The technology of Mechanical Dawn is so advanced that he doesn’t even know how to use certain devices… But it doesn’t matter, all the devices here can be operated by artificial intelligence.

The moment he put on the hidden headset, the voice of artificial intelligence came from his ears: “Eden is at your service, please give me instructions at any time.”

“Eden…” Ghost said the name silently in his heart, lowered his head and subtly raised the corners of his mouth.

“Well, the mission document shows that 12:00 noon is the interview time.” Yinmian said nervously, “We’re leaving immediately!”

Ghost followed them to rendezvous with Kongyue, left the Mechanical Dawn Division, and headed to the designated location.

On the way, Qiangwei thorn complained: “If you recruit a younger brother, you will recruit younger brothers. It’s like a company interview. I don’t understand… When we go there for interviews, there won’t be a few job seekers waiting in line with us, right?”

Kong Yue thought for a few seconds and said coldly: “No way, it’s an underground organization that doesn’t see much light. Isn’t it afraid of being taken over by such a grand interview?”

Everyone in the task execution team felt that what Kongyue said made sense. The logic was indeed such a logic. Wuguang was just like its name, it was not visible, and making the interview a big one would only lead to death.

When they got near the interview location, the other members of Mechanical Dawn hid nearby. According to the plan, only Ghost needed to go in for the interview, and the others stood by outside.

Ghost remained cautious, observing his surroundings as he walked. At this time, a man dressed as a bounty hunter passed him by. The man looked him up and left.

Then another man dressed as a street gangster passed by them and also looked at him.

From the direction of walking, they seem to be going to the same place…

An ominous premonition began to appear in Ghost’s heart.

When he arrived at the interview site and entered the dilapidated building, a dozen pairs of eyes looked over at him in unison. People in different clothes looked at each other vigilantly, like a whole cage of trapped porcupines. Raise the spikes to alert potential enemies around you.

One of the people who was smoking exhaled the smoke ring, and asked wonderingly, “Everyone…are you here for the interview?”

“Yeah…” Another person replied in confusion, “I just didn’t expect there to be so many people…”

Ghost: “…?”

Why doesn’t this underground organization play its cards according to the routine? !
