Boundless Darkness 66

Clover fell asleep. It was night and He Kang also needed to rest. Kui Xin asked him to stay in this stronghold temporarily to take care of Clover.

She left the lounge and went to the upper floor of the safe house, preparing to read Clover’s memory with Blood Spirit.

When she first met Clover in the glass jar, she drew his blood. After taking Clover away smoothly, this tube of blood was useless. Kai Xin could draw fresh blood to read the memory at any time.

Clover is very cooperative,When he was in the laboratory, researchers often injected some unknown drugs into his body and took his blood for testing, so he was used to seeing the syringe, and he would not be afraid of this thing… This is different from ordinary children are different.

Kai Xin sat on a chair, took out the syringe and squeezed a drop of blood into his mouth.

The smell of blood filled the air. She activated the “Blood Spirit”, and the memories belonging to Yotsuba emerged one by one like a tide.

His memory is not erosive in any way, nor does it have any impact on Kai Xin. It does not contain intense emotions and unforgettable images, just like a pool of stagnant water without waves.

His memory is very short, because his waking time is very limited, most of the time he sleeps in a glass jar, occasionally he opens his eyes from hibernation, and only sees the light green nutrient solution and the transparent glass wall, the glass wall His face could be vaguely reflected on the screen… This was the first time he knew his own appearance.

Many glass jars were erected around him, and there were people like him sleeping.

He occasionally wakes up, and soon falls into a dormant state after waking up. Every time you wake up from hibernation, there will be fewer “people” in the jar around you, and some “people” will grow bigger in appearance, and some new little “people” will be put into the jar when it is empty. , little people will grow up slowly, just like him.

A few times, when he opened his eyes, he would see a group of people in white clothes dangling in front of his glass jar. They watched him against the glass wall, talking to each other, and vague words passed through the glass wall. delivered to his ears…

During this period of half-dream and half-awake, his strongest feeling was pain.

Because his body is growing at an unreasonable speed, his bones are growing at an accelerated rate, and he feels pain all over his body…

After an unknown amount of time, the group of people in white clothes appeared again.

Someone said: “The growth target has been reached, the growth of various internal organs is normal, and the brain… Well, all regions are fully developed. It’s all right, take him out, and you can try to implant some knowledge.”

The water level of the nutrient solution in the jar dropped slowly. He touched the ground with the soles of his feet for the first time, but fell quickly. The glass wall lowered, and robotic arms reached out to him, transferring him to a stretcher, and the robot wheeled him into another room, placing him in a capsule-shaped container.

Various wires and patches were stuck to his head, and he fell asleep with a splitting headache.

When he woke up again, the group of people in white looked down at him and said, “I-F-2-4.”

This number triggered the knowledge in his mind, and according to that knowledge, he should respond at this time.

So he opened his mouth, tried to control his tongue and lips, let the airflow pass over his vocal cords, and said the first sentence with difficulty: “Yes… I am here.”

One of the people in white clothes said with satisfaction: “That’s right, the next step is to implant the memories in batches. Give him some time to adapt.”

“Implant knowledge first, and then implant some more advanced concepts, such as obedience, loyalty…”

“He is the one with the best adaptability. After failing so many times, one of them finally succeeded.”

“Pay attention to monitoring his words and deeds. It has happened several times that the artificial man suddenly developed a sense of rebellion…”

“Put him back in the jar to sleep first, and letting him be exposed to the external environment will stimulate his brain. You can adapt to the external environment slowly, and it will not be too late to adapt after the memory is implanted. The previous failure cases told For us, the experimental procedures need to be adjusted, and these artificial life cannot be underestimated.”

“It makes sense, so be it.”

So he was put back into the jar. Sometimes he woke up and saw his kind sleeping in the jar next to him, and sometimes he woke up and suddenly found that he had changed places, left the jar, and had some strange knowledge in his mind. , He learned to speak, learned to write, learned to distinguish colors, knew the composition of oxygen, and knew that oxygen is a necessity for human survival…

He also found that as time went by, the “persons” in the nearby jar disappeared one after another.

When Bai Yi came to this room full of glass jars again, he vaguely heard a few words from their mouths: “Destroy…failure…waste…”

Standing in front of another glass jar, Bai Yi looked at the mature artificial man inside and said, “It’s a pity that they failed to survive this memory implant and are on the verge of brain death. Their brains are as fragile as newborns. Can’t stand any damage… Cut off the oxygen supply and free up this culture vessel.”

The oxygen supply mask worn on the face of the artificial man in the glass tank suddenly broke off. The artificial man looked like a girl. After the oxygen was cut off, her body twitched a few times and coughed up a large number of air bubbles driven by physiological reactions. , those bubbles are rising in the light green solution… and her body is descending in the light green solution…

She died.

A corrosive liquid was injected into the solution, and the artificial human’s body was dissolving, then mixed with the light green solution, and was discharged out of the glass jar.

“Huh? Why is he awake again?” Bai Yi looked at him.

“This individual is quite special. He often wakes up.” Someone said, “Is there a problem? Do you want to check it carefully or report it?”

“Continue to observe, there is no need to report for the time being.”

Later, he released the cans a few more times. This time, he was put on a wheelchair and pushed to an empty room. In the room stood a man with empty eyes, his kind.

His kind has white hair and skinBai, Bai Mao raised his hand expressionlessly, and a small water ball appeared out of thin air.

“Make the water on his hands disappear.” Bai Yi stood beside him and said, “You know what to do, try it.”

His eyes fixed on the water ball, and the invisible force field spread around his body, and with a bang, the water ball dispersed.

“Ability Strength Assessment, Level A.” A robot broadcast.

Bai Yi said: “Sure enough, it’s excellent… It’s time for the next stage of training.”

After leaving the glass jar briefly, he went back again.

Before closing his eyes, he looked at his own reflection on the glass and dully raised a question – will he see something he hasn’t seen before when he wakes up this time?

When he woke up again, he got the answer.

A person covered in black appeared out of nowhere in his tank. She didn’t have a tube or an oxygen mask on her body, she just floated like that.

People without oxygen will die and disappear into the jar… He already vaguely understood that disappearance, death, and destruction are not good things, so he took off the oxygen mask and handed it to her, saying, “Here, breathe.”



The memory came to an abrupt end.

Clover’s life was replayed in Kai Xin’s mind.

He has experienced very little and knows very little. Although some knowledge has been implanted in his brain, he has never practiced that knowledge, so his knowledge of this world is extremely limited, and the memory implanted by Mechanical Dawn is Be selective. Thankfully, the Dawn of the Automatons haven’t had time to imbue him with more advanced concepts such as loyalty.

From Clover’s memory, one can get a glimpse of Dawn of the Machine’s artificial human training process. They can almost achieve mass production, keeping those who are qualified, and screening out those who are unqualified.

Clover can be regarded as a “boutique” among artificial humans. He has excellent adaptability, quick learning, and normal physical development. If it weren’t for Kai Xin’s intrusion, Clover would have been trained as a loyal lackey of Mechanical Dawn.

There are some fragments of conversations with researchers in Yotsuba’s memory. From those short conversations, Kai Xin learned that Dawn of the Machine is also constantly changing the training plan of artificial humans. Later, this situation was gradually suppressed, and the artificial humans became more docile and obedient from generation to generation, and it became more and more difficult to awaken themselves.

What Mechanical Dawn produces is an obedient dog.

Kai Xin thought, although the rebellion of the androids was an exception, would it not be only Amber Obsidian who actually took action? What about other artificial humans? At the Mechanical Dawn branch, those two researchers personally said that some artificial man broke the glass jar and escaped…

In addition, the place where Yotsuba was trained doesn’t seem to be Beluga City, he was transported here temporarily.

Kai Xin rubbed his temples, stood up from the chair, and left the safe room.

When meeting with Amber at noon today, Kui Xin verbally agreed to Amber’s transaction request. She and Amber did not exchange contact information, because it is easy to be detected by using a communicator.

Now Kai Xin is going to see Amber and ask him something.

She arrived at the place where she met Amber at noon today, looked around, and found a little bird standing on a telephone pole.

Bird, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Kai Xin, and then closed his eyes.

Fifteen minutes later, a vagrant in ragged clothes walked slowly along the street to Kai Xin’s side.

“I want to see you too.” Amber said, “My eyeliner observed that there was a slight disturbance in Chuangtuo Technology Company this afternoon. There was a vibration in the building. Some people thought there was an earthquake, so they ran out. Later, the news I heard was The equipment exploded and caught fire but was quickly doused by the firefighting system … but I don’t think that’s the truth of the matter.”

“I did it.” Kai Xin said frankly, “I want to ask you something.”

“Please tell me.” Amber said.

“Did any man-made man escape successfully before you?”

Amber said: “As far as I know, there is no… It is not ruled out that Eve blocked the news. I am inclined to say no, because Eve was almost defenseless against us before, and did not plant a locator on us.”

“Today I heard some important information. The researcher said that the rebellion of artificial humans has happened several times. Either Eve blocked the news, or after you, there are artificial humans one after another in the past few weeks. Rebelled.” Kai Xin said.

Amber thought for a while: “It’s possible.”

“Did the rebels take any action?” Kai Xin asked.

“No, they’re going to call me back, maybe they want to see you and Mechanical Dawn and Special Affairs Department dog-eat-dog.” Amber said calmly.

“Do you have mental coordinates in your brain?”

“…Yes.” Amber’s face turned ugly, “Angel… is scary. I can’t find a way to get rid of it for the time being, unless I try it with Obsidian, and then wait until our ability level reaches A-level.” Let’s try together…”

“Try together?” Kai Xin asked suspiciously.

“Obsidian and I can be mentally attuned. The combined effect of our abilities is that one plus one is greater than two.” Amber said, “If you trust me, I will try to help you get rid of that thing after you rescue Obyao.”

This is a surrender and a gesture of friendship… But Kai Xin dare not hand over his brain to a psychic, the risk is too great.

“You don’t have to be recalled by the rebels.” Kai Xin said slowly, “You stay, stay in Beluga City.”

Amber said in astonishment: “If I don’t go back, it’s equivalent to betraying the rebels, so they plan to watch your show.I will definitely come here again to deal with you and me… Both of us have spiritual coordinates! They’ll pinpoint our location. ”

“That thing can only determine the location, and there is no way to cause actual harm to us, can it?” Kuixin said, “Otherwise, I have defected for so long, why didn’t the angel use that coordinate to directly kill me? He can’t do it, so we There’s a lot to be done.”

Amber couldn’t help asking: “You asked me to stay, why do you want to…”

“Help me.” Kai Xin said, “I need your help.”

“I don’t believe you, and you don’t believe me either.” Amber said, “To be honest, I’m afraid you’ll kill me.”

“I won’t kill you, Amber.” Kai Xin said, “I’m not the kind of person who wants to take the ability for myself when I see it. I left a high-level artificial human and I don’t intend to kill him. , even if killing him will bring me great benefits.”

“Who?” Amber quickly realized, “You went to Mechanical Dawn this afternoon to carry out an attack? Could it be that you…”

“I brought back an artificial human. This is… Eve’s enemy’s request. It asked me to let him go, and I agreed.” Kai Xin said, “I am a person who keeps promises and principles, Amber.”

She took out the communicator and showed Amber the screen of the communicator.

On the screen, Clover was sleeping soundly on the sofa wrapped in a blanket.

Amber recognized that face. With complex eyes, he thought for a long time, finally lowered his head, controlled the body of the homeless man and fell to the ground slowly.

Kai Xin glanced at the homeless man, then turned his gaze to the dark street.

Five minutes later, a teenager appeared at the end of the street.

“Is it finally possible to have an interview?” Kai Xin said.

“Yes.” Amber let out a sigh of relief. To him, what he did tonight was a big gamble. “Let me meet him, the man-made man you took in.”
