Leading to the Final 36

“You?” Wei Xin’s face under the helmet revealed a look of surprise, “Chen Zhiqiu?”

Chen Zhiqiu said, “You actually know me?”

Amber Obsidian spread out slightly tacitly, and kept back-to-back postures with Kai Xin and Yu Hanxue, defending against enemies that might attack from behind at any time.

But the corridor was empty, and no combat personnel showed up.

When they broke in, they triggered the base’s alarm system. At this moment, the alarm system was turned off, and the base returned to silence. In the silver-white corridor, only Chen Zhiqiu’s projection confronted Kai Xin and his party.

Yu Hanxue quietly took a step closer to the cell, making sure that all the players sleeping in the metal cabin were within the radiation range of her ability and ready to attack at any time.

Originally, last week her Wheel of Time was still in the middle stage of Grade A, and she was still a short distance from the peak. On the first day of this week, she dealt with two clones of the Wheel of Time with relatively high levels, and the Wheel of Time at Grade A went smoothly. A class boundary was touched. It was very difficult for her to cast the wheel of time in the air before, but now she can cast it in the air after training.

Kai Xin’s extraordinary ability to reorganize matter has become more and more proficient, and now he can also perform precise operations in the air. When rescuing Obsidian, she had to maintain physical contact to control his mechanical heart, which is no longer necessary.

The wheel of time and material reorganization are the confidence for Kai Xin and others to rush into the base to rescue the hostages.

“Talk?” Kui Xin did not answer Chen Zhiqiu’s question.

Chen Zhiqiu’s attitude was very unusual. It didn’t look like he was going to fight for his life, nor did he seem to be trying to delay the attack.

The corridor beside Kai Xin is surrounded by large glass curtain walls. In the laboratory on the left, dozens of young people are sleeping peacefully in the metal capsule cabin. .

But Kai Xin knew that they were still alive, because she could feel weak mental fluctuations. It was because she felt a large amount of abnormal mental fluctuations that she judged that this was the place where the players were held.

Kai Xin calmly increased the strength and scope of his mental investigation, and soon found Chen Zhiqiu’s mental fluctuations in the secret room on the fourth floor of the base.

It seems that she didn’t fully upload her consciousness to the data world, and still kept her own brain.

If you have a brain, you have weaknesses. Kai Xin can use her mental ability to destroy Chen Zhiqiu’s self-awareness at any time, but Chen Zhiqiu’s tone of voice shows that she has extraordinary confidence. Where does her confidence come from? Does she have extra means?

“I’m not your enemy. I know you’re strong, and you also know that you must have been fully prepared if you dared to come here. In that case, why don’t you listen to me?” The portrait projected by Chen Zhiqiu had a peaceful expression.

Without waiting for Kai Xin to reply, she continued: “You know me from Ye Chan? He knows very little about me. Over the years, except when he first joined Mechanical Dawn, I have never had any contact with him again.” Communicated. I am not a pure human being, but a half data life. My thinking organ is hidden in this base, but losing this thinking organ only means that I have completely ‘uploaded’ my consciousness, my The soul continues to survive in the data world, transforming into a pure data life.”

“You mean, even if I destroy your brain, you can still live, but not in human form anymore?” Kui Xin didn’t look at Chen Zhiqiu’s projection, but looked at the camera in the corridor , she “looked at” Chen Zhiqiu through the camera.

“Are you trying to threaten me? How much do you know about me? Do you think I have no means to deal with a data life?”

“Since I have appeared, it means that I am not hostile to you. You should be aware of this.” Chen Zhiqiu said, “I am not trying to threaten you. On the contrary, I am here to surrender. I clearly know that you Knowing that there is a super artificial intelligence standing on your side, killing me is as easy as crushing an ant. Even if my consciousness is uploaded, you still have a way to clear my data and kill me. I understand You want to do some grand things. Those grand things are absolutely impossible for you alone. You need companions and strength. I consider myself a more valuable person, and I can use my strength Contribute and help you accomplish those things.”

“Contribution”, Chen Zhiqiu used the word contribution.

She keeps her posture very low, but it doesn’t make people feel humble.

“You said you came to surrender, but you haven’t shown your sincerity yet. What can you do for me? Come out with something practical. I’m a pragmatist.” Kai Xin said carefully.

“Di—the blockade is lifted, and the recovery mode is activated.”

A reminder popped up from the metal cabin in the prison, and the lids of the cabins inlaid with transparent glass bounced off in two strokes, revealing the people lying inside.

At the same time, two cargo robots were holding a medical stretcher and walking slowly from the corner at the end of the corridor.

The person lying on the stretcher turned out to be… Kui Haidong? !

He was unconscious, unconscious, and in a state of being slaughtered.

“They are all yours.” Chen Zhiqiu said, “You can dispose of them as you like.”

“So honest?” Kai Xin said slowly, “Your surrender came too easily.”

“Surrender is better than kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. I have nothing. Eve is qualified to be your enemy. I don’t have it. I’m just a researcher. I don’t want to beg for mercy, so I choose to surrender, which happens to be in my hand. Holding some bargaining chips can make my surrender more valuable and sincere.” Chen Zhiqiu said, “The result of both losses is that I lose chips and life, and ruin my research career, but you will not suffer any loss, only lose Some compatriots. This result is something we don’t want to see. Please seriously consider my suggestion, we are not enemies, you and Eve are the enemies.”

She spoke very slowly, as if she was afraid that Kai Xin would not understand or inadvertently irritate her, so she chose her words very carefully, spreading out all the words, crushing them, and giving Kai Xin to think at the same time time.

“Unequal cooperation is no different from threats. Your surrender is low-profile. I am the superior party and you are the inferior party. From the beginning, we have not been in an equal relationship, but a relationship between the dominant and the dominated.” Kai Xin said, “You have to know one thing. Your surrender today means that you will not be able to obtain my status as an equal partner. You can only be my subordinate.”

“Of course I know that it is much better to be a subordinate than to have my own existence wiped out.” Chen Zhiqiu could not see any unwillingness or anger in his tone, “I am the defeated side with Eve, and the defeated is not qualified to negotiate terms with the victor.”

Her emotions are too detached… She is more rational and indifferent than artificial intelligence. She doesn’t seem to care about such things as dignity at all, and Kai Xin finds this kind of person a little scary.

“In my opinion, your surrender is a bit naive. Are you afraid that I will go back on my word and accept your surrender before killing you?” Kai Xin deliberately spoke sharply.

The players were scattered and imprisoned in different bases, and Tang Guan was not here. After Chen Zhiqiu handed over the bargaining chip of this base, he can also have the bargaining chip of another base.

“I know your bottom line very well. I will never use the chips in my hand to stimulate you or threaten you.” Chen Zhiqiu is like a pool of stagnant water, and throwing a stone into it will not cause any waves. The players are all released, it won’t hurt them a bit, you can take them away. My condition is only to survive. If you go back and kill me after receiving the players, then I have nothing to say. I use I have used all means to extend my life. My choice at this moment is correct. Threatening your choice is not correct. It will make me die faster. Now I give you the right to choose, you choose to let me live Get down, or let me die.”

Kai Xin has never seen a human being who is so rational.

Kai Xin is already sensible enough, but she still gets impulsive and angry, and makes mistakes, but someone like Chen Zhiqiu…she doesn’t care about anything, including her own life. She surrendered to Kai Xin, seemingly giving up her dignity, but Kai Xin didn’t feel even a little bit of humility and prayer from her words, she was just stating the facts.

“Aren’t you threatening me with Adam?” Kai Xin asked.

Chen Zhiqiu said, “No.”

She said these two words heavily and quickly, as if she had a little emotion.

“How unbelievable… A man-made icy machine has emotions… This is simply a miracle! What is a miracle? Turning the impossible into a possibility, this is the greatest miracle, a man-made miracle!” Chen Zhiqiu said in a deep voice, “It is impossible to have Emotional things have emotions… Destroying such an existence is destroying the most precious wealth in the world. I have been studying how to make the impossible possible all my life, and I will not allow me to destroy a man-made miracle.”

Kai Xin’s eyes moved slightly, and he said, “You are the most sensible and special human being I have ever seen.”

Chen Zhiqiu paused and said, “Eve also said the exact same thing to me.”

“But I destroyed a man-made miracle.” Kai Xin said.

“I have nothing to do with self-destruction.” Chen Zhiqiu said, “Character determines destiny. Eve’s ending is her own fault.”

Kai Xin pondered for a moment.

Chen Zhiqiu was waiting for her answer.

“I can accept your surrender.” Kai Xin said, “but I need you to release all the players, and release them now. They must not have any devices that can take their lives. I want to watch them come one by one. In front of me, no one will be missed. By the way, prepare a copy of all the player information collected by Mechanical Dawn and send it to me.”

Chen Zhiqiu’s projection lightly nodded, “Yes.”

It is troublesome to go to the base one by one to find people, and there may be many twists and turns in the process. Since Chen Zhiqiu has expressed his sincerity, Kai Xin will leave this matter to her.

The spiritual network was established as early as when Kai Xin and his party broke into the base.

Amber asked hesitantly in the spiritual communication channel: “She gives me a bad feeling… Do we really want to accept her surrender?”

“For so many years in Dawn of Machinery, I have never heard of anyA person like Chen Zhiqiu only occasionally heard “Dr. Chen” mentioned by the researchers who cultivated us, but I didn’t expect her to be a half-data life…” Hei Yao was incredulous.

Yu Hanxue said subtly: “Actually, I can understand Chen Zhiqiu very well.”

Kai Xin thought about it, “How should I say it?”

“I met several people similar to Chen Zhiqiu in the federal research institute. They are mad scientists who ignore human life and ethics and have no bottom line, but their purpose is very pure, pure to the extreme.” Yu Hanxue said, “This way Some people only follow their own logic, and their thinking cannot be measured by common sense.”

“I don’t need Chen Zhiqiu to do research for me, but have you found out? She is now the person with the highest authority in Dawn of Machinery.” Kui Xin said, “I need her to release players for me, control armed personnel and management, control Other researchers who live in the Mechanical Dawn.”

In the cell, the person lying in the metal capsule groaned slightly.

A male player rubbed his forehead and climbed up from the metal cabin in a dizzy manner. He had a metal collar that had been snapped off around his neck, and the collar fell off when he got up.

He looked around in a daze, and screamed when he saw the metal cabin like a coffin, and then looked up to see Kai Xin and others outside the cell. He seemed to regard them as people from the Mechanical Dawn, and for a moment the souls of the dead were so frightened that they wished they could faint again.

“Be quiet.” There was a little red gleam in Kai Xin’s eyes, calming the player’s spirit so that he would not collapse and shout like a screaming chicken.

After two minutes, some players woke up one after another. Some of them screamed in fear as soon as they woke up, some had numb expressions, and some were very calm.

Several people took off their neck rings and got down from the metal cabin.

Mechanical Dawn has no S-level psychic androids, and the only A-levels are Kuixin’s good teammates, Amber and Obsidian. Their brainwashing method is to use the modern technology of brain-computer, which is not as effective as directing mental abilities, which leads to some The player’s sanity is still relatively clear.

“Who are you?” Someone asked, “Why are the restrictions suddenly lifted… What’s going on here?”

They didn’t dare to act rashly, and stared at Kai Xin and the others with panic or hatred.

Kai Xin pointed his finger at the glass wall, and that layer of wall melted immediately, and white particles scattered.

She introduced herself in front of everyone: “Hi, everyone, if you can watch forums in the first world, you should have heard of my code name. I am Depriver 233.”
