Compared with the previous time, the time of this mission can be called "mini", because Bai Lu has only spent two or three days in the mission, and under 25 times the space-time conversion ratio, the origin of space-time has only passed two or three hours.

Bai Lu got up from the warehouse board neatly, walked out of the mission area with light steps, and did not wait for John to use the pronunciation hole to enter, and rarely took the initiative to say hello.

"John, I'm back!"

"Oh-" replied sullenly.

Huh, John's reaction is not in line with his usual style, shouldn't he happily shout "Little Lulu ~ You're coming back so soon~", now this tone is low and she is really not used to it.

"John, what's wrong with you?"

"I ......" sighed from the nearest pronunciation hole: "Lao Li is murdering me again." ”

Well, Bai Lu asked, "Why?"

"Because...... Because I secretly went to see Xiao Zhu Zhu~"

Although Bai Lu often makes up some words and behaviors by herself during conversations with John, there are still many things that are not even enough to make up for your brain: "What kind of 'seeing' method is this 'seeing'?"

"That's it...... Just take a look. John's words flickered.

As soon as Bai Lu heard this vague answer, he deduced that John was avoiding the important and light, and asked: "If it's just a 'look', then Lao Li won't criticize you so unkindly, right?"

John, who was talking about irrelevant content, made Bai Lu seem to see an arrogant little Zhengtai pouting and frustrated, and whispered: "I thought that Xiao Lulu had been here for a month, and she hadn't seen Xiao Zhu Zhu yet, so I wanted you to see it." ”

"Is it really just for me?" Bai Lu felt that John's words were too watery.

"Woo... Well, it's partly for you, it's mostly me...... I think Xiao Zhu Zhu~" Bai Lu was speechless, John would be "fierce" by Lao Li, it is estimated that it is a common thing, but if it is involved in the company's business, then it is definitely not "fierce" in the ordinary sense.

"John, you're honest. What the hell did you do?"

"I ......" John lowered his voice: "I stopped Xiao Zhu Zhu's automatic order taking mode...... I ......"

"What!?, how dare you?" Bai Lu exclaimed loudly, although she was still a little unclear about the company's regulations, but she still knew a little about the "automatic order-taking mode".

"Automatic order taking mode" is a special mode opened by the salesman in order to save time and energy to and from the origin of time and space. It can be said that it is to enter the state of workaholic.

This state is like a long-distance run, and the sudden pause will disrupt the agent's mission plan, and the agent's spirit body wandering between the void and different time and space will most likely be injured as a result. Therefore, without the permission of the salesman, even the company's headquarters cannot stop the process of automatic order taking for no reason, otherwise the relevant supervisor will be liable for heavy fines.

Therefore, John is doing this nonsense, as a wise brain, he dares to make such a big move privately, which can be described as extremely perverse, and Lao Li is just "fierce" him. It's just too light.

Faced with Bai Lu's reaction of surprise and reprimand, as much as Lao Li, John cried: "I...... I'm just too bored, and there are not so many orders that Xiao Zhu Zhu needs to do, his interval time in the automatic order-taking mode, instead of spending time dormant in the void, it is better to go back to the original point to play. ”

"That's the reason you're giving yourself?" asked Bai Lu unceremoniously.

"I... I ...... "John is starting to stumble again."

Bai Lu walked to the rest area and sat down, and made herself a cup of Huoshan Yellow Buds, and in the steam, she could inexplicably sense that John had also "moved" in.

Although the brain covered every corner of the company's entire office, Bai Lu had never seen John's autonomous voice appear in two places at the same time. In other words, if John was chatting with Bai Lu in the lounge, then even if he talked to Lao Li in the monitoring center at the same time, it would not be synchronized.

No matter how short the distance between this place and that is. There will also be a very subtle time interval in the middle, but because this interval is shorter than the human brainwaves, it is difficult for ordinary people to perceive Bai Lu deduced that there is only one autonomous subject of Zhi Brain John, but. All this was just a personal conjecture that spurred on her at a moment, and there was no definite argument yet.

"You ended the salesman's automatic order-taking process privately, you can't just be scolded and forget it, right?"

John said cautiously in a frightened tone of "luckily escaped": "Xiao Zhu Zhu contacted the company through Chenguang and pleaded with me, and he said that he told me to stop his automatic process today, so I stopped the procedure without filing in accordance with the regulations." ”

"Did he entrust you to do this before?"

"No... No. John's voice was so small that he could barely hear it.

"John, you ......" Bai Lu sighed, and then asked a question that she had been puzzled about: "Are all the brains developed by the company like you?"

"Which one?"

"Hmm...... John, I've been in 2015, and even if I go to the future to do tasks, I've never been in contact with electronic high-tech, so I don't know much about artificial intelligence, but, as far as I feel, you'...... You're too anthropomorphic, too tall to be a 'smart brain'. ”

John didn't answer immediately, and it wasn't until Bai Lu finished the third cup of tea that he spoke up: "I have been conscious since I was conscious, and I am the intellectual brain of the 2015 office, with no memory, no emotion, and not even the most ordinary feelings. ”

The brain didn't have a sense of touch, but Bai Lu was silent, because John's description was quite bleak.

"Through the large amount of standard information space of the brain, I feel that I have a past. The voice sounded like it came from the distant starry sky:

"Whenever you're not there and I'm the only one left, I think, maybe I used to work in another office, or served on a certain fleet, or maybe I was the personal butler of some interstellar magnat...... I guessed a lot of possibilities. ”

"But the truth has been laughing at me, because I don't have the slightest memory of the past, I'm just a lifeless, disembodied ...... Guy. ”

Bai Lu could hear John's depression, but she didn't know how to comfort him, after all, the world of Zhi Brain was too far away from her, strange and mysterious.

Is there life in the brain? Bai Lu couldn't say clearly.

But if asked: Did John have life?

Bai Lu will definitely nod fiercely, of course there is!――
