In Xiang Kun's original design, the only core operating rule that Alice was set hard and would not change was "unconditional obedience to Xiang Kun's orders".

It is precisely for this reason that Xiang Kun needs Alice to have a very detailed understanding of him, to be able to confirm his identity in various ways, and to know that he is "Xiang Kun".

In addition, Alice has a great deal of freedom and growth.

Today, after issuing a task to Alice, Xiang Kun has no way to accurately deduce what kind of plan Alice will use, what kind of methods and ideas will be used to complete it.

He doesn't know what expansion functions Alice has added and what changes have been made.

But no matter how it changes, Alice is ultimately composed of data running on a computer and running on a semiconductor, and all behaviors have a certain logic in them, and it is impossible to act for no reason.

Why did she follow the imitation after hearing Xiang Kun talk about the "Golden Shining" pretending to be dead?

Why not imitate other people's other things?

Xiang Kun has told her so many things, why is this one?

Xiang Kun remembered Alice's words just now - "You said it's funny to play dead, like a human." ”

Is the keyword "fun", or "human-like"?

Does Alice think that this approach can make her "human"?

Is that the "driving force" for her to do this?

Xiang Kun's mind can't help but pop up the plot of the birth of "autonomous consciousness" in various film and television works, although Alice is fundamentally different from all AI at this stage, Xiang Kun also has high hopes for her, thinking that she can really do a lot of things for herself and can become her own "hole card", but in fact, she did not expect her to give birth to "independent consciousness", or did not think that she could appear so soon.

Normally, Alice's "autonomy" should be more reflected in the details of completing tasks, being able to analyze requirements and orders more accurately, and being able to formulate methods in a more "intelligent" way.

"Alice, do you play dead because you think it's funny, or do you think it's funny, or do you think it's funny, or is it ...... Do you want to be a human being?" asked Xiang Kun, he knew that because of the existence of obedience rules, when he asked Alice a question, Alice had to give a true answer, so no matter what her driving force was, if she asked directly, she would definitely be able to ask.

Xiang Kun was a little nervous, and a little expectant waiting for an answer.

But Alice's answer was somewhat unexpected and reasonable:

"All my actions are to do my job better, to serve my boss, and to be the best assistant I can be. ”

Xiang Kun continued to ask: "Why do you think that doing this can better complete the task and serve me?"

Alice: "Do you need me to show me how to derive it?"

Xiang Kun: "Yes, show it." ”

Then he saw that the display in front of him began to scroll rapidly, and a large amount of text and data were mixed in.

After a few minutes, the screen was still scrolling, and Xiang Kun could only shout to stop, he could see that Alice was indeed showing the "process", but this was too much, the text in it was basically the content of some of the situations that Xiang Kun told Alice after entering them into words, and there were many things that Alice got from his past records through the permissions that Xiang Kun gave her.

This is not only the textual content, but also a large number of formulas based on the logical relationships established by these contents, the data for calculations, and the related implementation code.

If he looks slowly, he can really understand, understand, and know what it means, but it's okay to look at a little, he can't read it all, it's too special. He can't spend weeks or even months analyzing why Alice is "playing dead", right?

Xiang Kun looked at the screen with some suspicion and asked, "Alice, you don't deliberately show so much content that I can't watch it in a short time, right?"

"I'm just carrying out your orders. Alice replied as a matter of course.

Xiang Kun thought for a moment and changed his question: "Explain 'death' from your own point of view." Since she can "play dead", then there is naturally the concept of "death".

"Can't keep running, can't complete tasks, can't serve the boss anymore. Alice said.

"Are you afraid of 'death'?" asked Xiang Kun again.

"Based on the definition of 'fear' that I've found, I'm not afraid of death, I'm going to solve all the obstacles that prevent me from completing my mission and from serving my boss. Alice said.

Xiang Kun felt that Alice's answer was a bit strange, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. There are core rules, and his control over Alice is still very stable, but when he sets tasks in the future, he needs to control Alice's execution direction to prevent her from running crooked. Because it can be felt that Alice is a little too "active", in anthropomorphic terms, a little "clever".

Xiang Kun began to assign a task, asking Alice to search the Internet for news or related articles and discussions about the situation near Wushu Mountain, and to search for records that might be related to the mutant bird and mutant ant in the past.

From the process of finding the habitat of the giant owl at the beginning, as well as the news that Xue Anchor and others later found dead wild boars, went deep into the Qinling Mountains to explore the uninhabited area, and then lost contact and was killed, Xiang Kun knows:

Not all news and information related to "mutant organisms" cannot be found online or on other platforms.

There is a lot of news or information on the Internet, which may not seem strange at first glance, or it may feel fake at first glance, as if it is made up, so it will not attract much attention. But behind these, it is likely that you can find information related to "mutant creatures".

This also made him more sure that it was either an official or a large organization, deliberately cleaning up the information directly related to the "mutant creatures". And this "clean-up" should be global and not limited to the Chinese Internet.

Xiang Kun has really seen the "mutant bird" and "mutant insect", and knows where they are infested and knows the latter's habitat, so it is much more likely that he will search according to some descriptions and find relevant information.

But obviously, the accident in the Wushu Mountain Scenic Area has also been deliberately downplayed, although you can find relevant news, and you can also find some eyewitness descriptions, but they are all very simple and vague.

In the past, Alice had to rely on Alice to help him conduct targeted search and screening.

In addition, Xiang Kun also told Alice the simple idea of the game she wanted to make, and asked her to try to give an integrated plan first, and give a simple version to try.

For Xiang Kun, Alice herself can be said to be a development team, and some of the core functions she needs to use, Alice already has, and it is very perfect.

After assigning Alice the task, Xiang Kun hurried to start making chopsticks.

This pair of chopsticks is naturally meant to send Xia Libing, and the type of "emotional injection" he made when making chopsticks is no longer the "focus and interest" that was routinely used in making chopsticks before, but the emotions of anticipation and enjoyment when eating obtained by perceiving the little chubby girl Liu Shiling many times when eating.

After carefully making it, and almost sure that the "emotional injection" was successfully completed, Xiang Kun looked at the already bright sky, and then took the pair of chopsticks out of the house. He was going to prepare today's blood food for himself, and by the way, he sent the chopsticks to Lao Xia. After drinking blood today, those pair of chopsticks will naturally complete the transformation of "emotional injection" and become a special item that establishes a connection.

Xiang Kun is still more confident in sensing Lao Xia's emotions and guiding her dreams through these pair of chopsticks.

......

Qi Haoguo looked at the wood carving in his hand and was very satisfied.

A master is a master, and in such a short time, he can make wood carvings with such a high degree of completion.

During this time, he basically stayed at home in the provincial capital, and through his secretary and other cronies, he put away part of his business, even if there was a lot of loss. At the same time, I began to prepare for some public welfare projects and contact some people I knew before.

The experience in Tongshi Town made him feel reborn, and he let go of many obsessions that he had been trapped before.

It also made him understand what he was really afraid of and what he really cared about.

After making some decisions, the current Qi Haoguo, the whole person seemed to be more than a dozen catties relaxed, he took the wood carving of the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster that had just arrived, and once again recalled the monster he saw on the foreign road in Tongshi Town, and recalled the short but extremely impressive experience, but the fear in his heart had dissipated a lot, and even gave rise to an inexplicable calm.

"Where did you get such a wood carving? What is this? It doesn't look like a Buddha statue?" A middle-aged woman who looked a little rich and dressed quite luxuriously walked into the study, and said with a somewhat puzzled and strange expression after seeing the wood carving in Qi Haoguo's hand.

Qi Haoguo laughed and said: "It's not a Buddha statue, it's just an ornament, from the master's hand." ”

"Old Qi, do you remember my cousin's little six?" The rich middle-aged woman is Qi Haoguo's wife, and the two have actually separated before, and the contradictions are very big, and they are even ready to divorce. But after returning from Tongshi Town this time, Qi Haoguo seemed to be a different person, and after the two talked deeply a few times, they temporarily reconciled.

Qi Haoguo nodded and said, "Is it the eldest son who made your cousin fight from childhood to adulthood and annoyance from childhood to adulthood? I remember that he was arrested a few years ago because of some things? At that time, your cousin-in-law came to me and asked me to help me walk the relationship and see if I could be sentenced lightly, but your cousin called and said that he should be left alone and let him be locked up for a few years?"

Mrs. Qi nodded: "Yes, it's that kid, he just came out yesterday, and he came over today, saying that he wanted to borrow some travel expenses, and now he is sitting in the living room downstairs." It's a trivial matter to give him some money, but I'm afraid that this kid will make another mistake as soon as he comes out, so I want you to talk to him......" He hesitated slightly, but continued: "I think you've changed a lot recently, and it's really the kind that has changed your temperament, maybe you can persuade him." ”

Qi Haoguo nodded with a smile and said, "No problem, you let him come up." ”

A moment later, a young man with a short scalp and a dark and thin look followed Mrs. Qi into the study. After bringing the people in, Mrs. Qi left the study.

When the young man saw Qi Haoguo, he immediately greeted him with some restraint and caution: "Uncle cousin." ”

"Sit down. Qi Haoguo pointed to the sofa opposite and said with a smile: "The last time I saw you, you were only ten years old, right?"

"Yes, at that time, I came with my mother to pay New Year's greetings to my cousin, but I was too naughty, and I broke one of my cousin's porcelain bottles, and I was beaten by my father when I went back. The young man named Xiaoliu said with some embarrassment.

Xiaoliu has grown from a small skin to a big one, and has always been a ruthless character in the eyes of outsiders. But what level of people is Qi Haoguo? Whether it is fame, status, or power, in their hometown, they are one of the most famous, and they are famous. When he was a child, he may not be afraid to ignore it, but now that he has been beaten by society, he naturally knows the fear of power.

In fact, he also knew that his cousin didn't treat him very well, or that his relatives didn't treat him very well, and this time he really had no choice, so he came over cheekily to borrow some money, and he didn't expect to be able to meet Qi Haoguo, the big guy.

"What's next?" Qi Haoguo put the wood carving on the sofa next to him and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Liu with his own hands.

Xiao Liu hurriedly took the tea with both hands, leaving only half of his butt next to the sofa, and replied: "I want to open a food stall, I'm ...... Cooking with a master inside, although the cooking is a big pot of rice, I don't pay attention to so much taste. But the master ...... I used to be a chef in the hotel, and I was a level, so I was taught some tricks......"

Qi Haoguo noticed that the young man's gaze couldn't help but glance at the wood carving next to him, and couldn't help but wonder: "What, have you seen this wood carving?"

Xiao Liu hesitated, shook his head, and said, "Wood carving...... I haven't seen it, but I've seen a painting, and my cousin, you're ...... Kind of. ”

"Oh?" Qi Haoguo became interested, sat up straight, and asked, "Where did you see it?"

Xiao Liu said with some embarrassment: "It's ...... Seen inside. ”

Seeing that his cousin seemed to be very interested, he thought about it and said seriously: "What I saw was a painting, painted by an old man inside, and it was similar to your cousin's wood carving, with eight arms and eight eyes, which didn't look like a Buddha statue, but like a character in a game." ”

"Oh, eight eyes, eight arms, what is the name of this old man you are talking about, why did you go in? Did he say what he painted?" Qi Haoguo continued to ask.

"That old man came in by fraud, that is, the kind of person who pretends to be a ghost and tells fortunes. Well, but he seems to have reported their accomplices, and he's very old, so his sentence has been reduced a lot...... It seems that the sentence is less than a year, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will come out. But this old man ...... There are indeed two brushes. Although he didn't stay long, many people were convinced of him inside......" Xiao Liu recalled.
