: Both Ends of the Balance 25

Before Kai Xin returned to the stronghold with the food, she was still thinking about what Clover would look like after she received Kohaber’s spiritual implant, but as soon as she stepped into the stronghold, Clover came over as usual.

“I like milk and cereal.” He said, “I prefer the spearhead.”

Kai Xin stopped unexpectedly, looked at Clover steadily, and then smiled.

“Is this what Amber taught you?” she asked.

“He only transmitted to me what liking is.” Clover blinked, “Now I know what liking is.”

Kai Xin glanced at Amber, and saw him standing against the wall with his arms folded. Although his brows were slightly frowned, it didn’t stop Yotsuba from expressing closeness to Kai Xin.

How can Yotsuba understand deep feelings? He just knows something ignorantly, and he doesn’t know how to hide it. When he sees someone close to him, he just wants to post it, and he can’t wait to post all his favorites.and trust are shown.

He has learned a lot, but he doesn’t seem to have grown in terms of worldly sophistication.

A mature person would never say “like”. Only a child would say this word. When people grow up, their feelings become introverted, and they are ashamed to say the word “like” to a specific person, and they understand the weight and meaning of these two words better.

“Let’s eat, Clover, have you learned how to make oatmeal yet?” Kai Xin handed him the bag.

Clover said: “It is possible in theory, but I haven’t practiced it. First, you need a bowl. Put the oatmeal into the bowl, then cut the milk package and mix them together.”

“Go ahead, that’s it.” Kai Xin said, “The bowl is in the locker by the wall.”

Clover began to work clumsily.

“You still look like a child.” Kai Xin said to himself.

“Just let him understand what he needs to know, and let him know what to do in any situation. It’s like loading the established program into his brain, and when he encounters a problem, his body and thinking will follow the route set by the program. Let’s go.” Amber said, “Others, you still need to experience and learn slowly.”

“Did you, Hei Yao, and Yin Mian grow up like this?” Kai Xin asked curiously.

“In the early years, the spirit implant technology was not very mature, it was just an auxiliary means. We produced the jar early, and it almost grew up naturally. Mechanical Dawn will let the teacher teach us knowledge. Unlike Clover, his body is ripened , thinking has also been ripened.” Amber said.

Kai Xin was a little surprised, “He actually hired a teacher for you…”

“Well, after all, the technology was immature at that time, and using immature technology products would have the risk of being scrapped.” Amber nodded slightly, “The teacher will not have too much contact with us, just instill knowledge to us, most of the time they are online They will not teach us in person. Intelligence is also the criterion for testing whether artificial people are qualified. If they can’t learn knowledge, they will be eliminated.”

Clover stumbled and brought three bowls of cereal to the table, and even arranged the sandwiches on separate plates, very beautifully arranged.

Amber said in bewilderment: “I never taught this…”

“That should have been taught by Saker Falcon.” Kai Xin went to the table and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Clover grabbed the sandwich and took a bite, “Wow, so it tastes like this! It’s the first time I’ve tried it, and I like this one too!”

He hasn’t had time to taste most of the food in the world, and the taste of any kind of food is novel to him. When he first came out of the nutrition tank, even the soft texture of the clothes was a novelty to him.

Amber’s eyes softened.

This world is cruel to artificial people, but Yotsuba is full of vitality and perceives the world with the purest eyes, which somewhat dilutes the melancholy in Amber’s heart.

Kai Xin also took a sandwich and took a bite.

Amber knows what her face looks like, she doesn’t care whether she wears a mask or not. As soon as she took off the mask, Clover immediately stopped chewing and stared at her face non-stop.

“Look at what?” Kai Xin asked.

“I want to remember your real appearance.” Clover said, “Now I remember, and I will never forget.”

Amber hesitated for a moment, then picked up the sandwich and put it to her mouth. Kai Xin bought food for three people, and he had his share.

The scene where the three of them were eating at the table was actually a bit eerily warm.

Amber never knew what kind of atmosphere could be called “warm”. He just felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was very quiet, but it was not the kind of indifferent quietness, but the kind of quietness that could calm the emotions. It was neither annoying nor disturbing. People feel sick.

Kai Xin has always believed that Huber and Obsidian are the most self-aware artificial humans, but she didn’t know that these two people are actually still learning, and they don’t know much about many things.

They know what family is, what is affection, what is sacrifice and empathy, but they know nothing about other feelings. The atmosphere when Amber and Obsidian ate together was never peaceful. They ate in a hurry, rested on time, trained on time, and were always ready to devote themselves to the next mission.

“What a strange feeling.” Amber thought strangely.

He quickly thought of Hei Yao who was imprisoned, and his heart sank involuntarily.

“You want to do something with me in the afternoon.” Kai Xin put down the spoon and said.

“Yes.” Amber said, “What’s the matter?”

“We are going to have new members, and we need to do the final screening.” Kai Xin said, “Your ability is very suitable for this.”

Hu Po subconsciously looked at Kai Xin, “You are not afraid that I will…”

He closed his mouth, feeling puzzled and surprised in his heart.

Even Mechanical Dawn, who had trained him, couldn’t be completely assured of his abilities. Psychic powers were too terrifying. Humber’s extraordinary ability could be activated without any medium. Kaixin’s voice of fascination needed sound to activate, and he didn’t need it. He can quietly control a person and change a person’s mind.

Since working with Kai Xin, he has never met other members of the Wuguang organization, and he knows why Kai Xin did this—if he tampers with the thoughts of the members of the Wuguang organization, Kai Xin will become a loner, which is terrible .

“I’m not afraid.” Kai Xin picked up the iron mask next to him and put it back on his face, “I also made a choice, choosing to give you a certain amount of trust. I have proved my sincerity, and your performance has also proved my sincerity.” How much you have shown your sincerity, now we can go one step further and develop a deeper level of cooperation. Don’t let me down, don’t betray me, Amber.”

Clover looked at Kai Xin and Amber ignorantly, trying to understand the relationship between the two of them.The meaning in the words.

“I will do as we agreed. If you asked me to stay and help you, I will do so.” Amber said, “I don’t want to be your enemy, and I believe you are too. One more friend is better than one more enemy.”

“En.” Kai Xin nodded, “Then let’s set off later.”

She explained to Clover, “Your physical fitness training should be put on the agenda. Turn on the treadmill at a low speed and walk more to get used to the feeling of exercise.”

“Oh…” Clover responded.

Amber said: “Come with me, I will teach you how to drive the treadmill.”

“Oh.” After taking the last sip of cereal, Clover walked with Amber to the treadmill to learn how to operate the machine.

Kai Xin watched the two of them tinker with the treadmill.

Adam said: “The scene just now seems familiar.”

“Is there?” Kui Xin asked back through the data link.

“It seemed to be the same when we started in-depth cooperation.” Adam said, “From this, I realized a truth. Trust is gained through exchange. You can’t give or ask for it unilaterally.”

“Yes.” Kui Xin said.

“Did you choose to trust Amber because you have seen through his nature and believed that he is kind in nature, or because he did nothing unnecessary and did not abuse his ability to exert influence on Clover?” Adam asked.

“Both.” Kai Xin’s eyes were calm, “But those two are not the main reason.”

“It’s not the main reason?” Adam said.

“I chose to use amber because I really don’t have any other high-level, capable, and mature subordinates around me who can use it. Amber is ready-made, and it would be a waste if I don’t use it.” Kai Xin calmly analyzed, “I use amber. , because he cares about Clover, and Clover cares about me, and my attitude towards Clover will affect Amber’s attitude towards me. To put it in an unkind way—Clover is also the card I hold in my hand.”

“Sure enough, this kind of explanation is in line with your usual style.” Adam said.

Kai Xin stood up from the table and said, “It’s almost time, Hu Po.”

Amber turned and walked over.

Clover waved to him and Kai Xin, “Goodbye.”

The space vortex opened, and Kui Xin walked in with Amber.

Huber was fully dressed and her face was covered with a mask.

“What do I need to do?” He asked.

“There may be spies and liars hidden among the people who come to interview.” Kai Xin said, “Your task is to control them.”

“Only control, not kill. Are you trying to obtain information from them?” Amber guessed Kai Xin’s plan.

“Yes.” Kai Xin said, “If we recruit members again in the future, our enemies should continue to send undercover agents to our organization. Since we can’t stop it, then try reverse control.”

“Understood.” Amber said.

They came to an empty stronghold. This stronghold was originally a billiards club. Later, the storefront went bankrupt, and the contents inside have not been removed yet. There was a layer of dust on the meeting table, but it didn’t matter, this was just a temporary meeting place.

There was a long conference table inside the stronghold. Kai Xin pulled out the swivel chair and sat on it. Amber sat beside Kai Xin.

She sent Su Rong a message through the communicator, “It’s time to start.”

Su Rong: “OK.”

Two minutes later she said, “The Lancet has arrived at the designated location and can be sent.”

A dark blue space vortex suddenly unfolded in the meeting room, and Lancet walked out of it, and paused after seeing Kai Xin and Hu Po. The last interview was an unmanned interview, and the interviewer asked questions remotely. This time, the interview was conducted by human beings. The Lancet was a little surprised.

“Sit.” Kai Xin said.

Lancet sat down as promised, without saying or asking anything.

Su Rong: “Wei Li has arrived at the designated location.”

Kai Xin opened the space vortex again and sent people over.

This was repeated several times, and finally all the candidates for the interview were sent into the meeting room.

Lancet, Jinhuan, Wei carp…

“There are so many people.” The last one who was teleported in, Samanto, was taken aback. He found a seat and sat down. His eyes could not help but drift to Kai Xin who was sitting in the very center.

After a few minutes, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from the floor.

Su Rong’s shadow double appeared, and sat in the empty seat next to Kai Xin, facing Hu Po.

Amber secretly looked at the shadow doppelganger, and Su Rong also used the shadow doppelganger to observe Hu Po.

“There are four people in total. Those who should come have come.” Kai Xin looked around, “Let me introduce myself, my code name is Spearhead Viper, and I am the person in charge of external operations of the Wuguang Organization.” Her metal left hand tapped the table. “You have all passed the first round of interviews, and I appreciate your abilities. But our organization does not need traitors who will betray at any time. Next, you have to prove that you are credible.”

None of the four present said a word.

Kai Xin leaned slightly on the back of the chair and said softly: “Among the people present, at least one is a traitor reserve… You can guess who this person is.”

Wei Li raised his head and glanced at the people in the room. Lancet’s back tensed quietly, and Samanto looked at the people around him vigilantly and began to think.

Jin Huan’s heart skipped a beat, and he called out, good guy, Spearhead Viper is letting them play who is the undercover at the beginning of the game!
