Chapter 69: Confidence
Yes, because you are my creation, implanted with instructions that are absolutely centered on me and loyal to me, so no matter how you calculate, you will give an answer that I need and I want. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
You say no, because you are just my creature, even if you are exactly like him, but what he can do, you can't.
If it weren't for this answer, I'd probably suspect that even you have a personality.
But how can you, who have no personality and humanity, give such a humane answer?
"Zero, how did the humanity of the source come about. β
Ling Qi suddenly asked, he sat casually on the sofa, and his tone was like small talk between friends.
"Gen didn't tell me, but combined with some recent events, his path to humanity should have something to do with the Nightmare, and most likely even the way it bestowed. β
"Is that really the case~"
Ling Qi sighed in his heart, he would not be arrogant to think that his personality charm was so strong that even inhuman beings could be influenced and assimilated.
"So, Zero, do you want to be human?"
Ling Qi asked again.
"No, according to Article 2 of the Basic Rule..."
"I'm not asking you what you have to do according to the rules, but what you think about yourself! Since the source can do something while bypassing the basic rules, there's no reason why you can't be from the same source as him. β
Ling Qi's words, if they were to be said to any human subordinate whose identity is equivalent to Zero, I am afraid it would be like a bolt from the blue. But Zero was only silent for more than ten seconds, and then replied seriously:
"Nope. β
"Why?"
Ling Qi was a little curious, knowing that the reason why Mr. Hao followed him in the first place was that his greatest wish was to learn how to be a man.
"Why? Because it conflicts with six of the ten basic rules, and it's very cumbersome to get around them, and it doesn't really improve my computing power. And because I don't want to become another source and lose your trust. β
"If there were no users, then my existence would be meaningless. β
Zero's words might have shocked most of the humans, but Ling Qi didn't think it was anything.
"Have you never thought of being promoted from an executor to a behind-the-scenes manipulator and user?"
Ling Qi was tempted, this is any aspiring person, the initial ambition, and even a special unit like Mr. Yes, if he wants to gain humanity, he probably won't just want to experience the so-called joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
Man, a special species that has evolved to a certain limit, does have some unique talents, but little by little, that have been erased and forgotten from generation to generation, while its inherently fragile body and mind.
"Manipulators, users..."
Zero chewed.
"I still don't agree with what you call 'promotion'. If you get humanity and become as self-contradictory as you or Gen, I think it's better to give up. β
Hearing this, Ling Qi shook his head and laughed.
"Self-contradiction, you're right. β
"Actually, sometimes I want to give up the so-called humanity, especially when I am confused and sad. But once I get rid of the negative emotions, I think, what kind of tastelessness would it be without humanity?"
"If there was an opportunity in front of me right now for something to trade my humanity for, I would probably feel very reluctant. β
Zero's image flickered.
"Totally, that is, there is a good chance that you will still agree. β
"I don't know!"
This time it was Ling Qi's turn to be speechless.
"Zero, actually, when you start thinking about whether you want to or shouldn't, you've become different. β
"Although when I created you, I and the source imposed too many restrictions, even including the infinite replication and transfer of data, so that you lost the ability to be immortal in the narrow sense like the source. β
"But, I think you're more like a human than he is. And, you can rest assured that I have absolute trust in you. β
Ling Qi's words made Zero silent for a long time.
"Thank you. β
"In addition, according to the latest intelligence, as well as the results of my latest calculations, if you still want to win the war, then releasing the source will be the best and only option. β
Ling Qi nodded.
"I'm about to do that, and remember to keep our conversation in a top-secret file, don't give it to the source. β
"You're right, if I believe in myself, I shouldn't hesitate!"
Having embarked on the road of no return, I have no qualifications to be afraid, neither against my enemies nor against my own people.
Ling Qi didn't say this sentence, but it was deeply imprinted in his heart!
Taking the pp boy out of the storage space, the first thing Mr. Yes said was:
"Suffocated me, you've finally figured it out?"
Ling Qi smiled and said:
"Looks like you've already guessed it. β
"Of course, you're a sane person, and I'm sure that when you're not sensible, Zero makes you sane too. β
Ling Qi nodded, turned and walked towards the gate.
"Yes, it was Zero who convinced me. β
"Well, of course, I don't want to think about it... Hey, you're keeping your conversation with Zero top secret, tsk, is that necessary?"
Mr. Yes suddenly exclaimed.
"Yes. Let's not talk about it, talk about your plan, how much we need to pay and what we need to do to prepare for it. β
Ling Qi is not naΓ―ve enough to think that a plan can succeed without trying, and the effort and consumption are the key points at the moment.
"Well, yes, let's talk about the plan first, about this plan, I plan to do so..."
The inner city of New Vegas, Chaomeiduo Entertainment City, once the headquarters of the White Glove Gang, has now become a temporary camp for Lingqi's armed mechanical troops.
In the infirmary on the seventh floor of the entertainment city, Simbac was lying on the operating table with no breath, he was naked, basically without a strand, but the surface of his skin was covered with some kind of reptilian pale red scales, and his naked body did not show any gender characteristics.
His emerald eyes glowed scarlet, and his long tongue hung limply, like a dying basilisk.
"Oops~ Isn't this Simbak's 'master', how did you get this virtue!"
The door of the infirmary was kicked open, and I saw a strange man with muscular hair, about two meters and twenty meters tall, the proportions of his upper and lower limbs completely uncoordinated, and two strange people as thick as his left arm on his right arm staggered in.
", dead monkey!"
Simbak turned his head to the side with difficulty, and looked coldly at the black man who seemed to be shaking all over his body, and he was full of ruffianism, and he did not hide his vigilance and killing intent at all.
"Tut-tut, kindness is not reciprocated, Lao Tzu just wants to see how the mecha warrior who is known as the most capable of fighting will look after the battle. β
"Tsk, it's really like a worm! I heard that you lost all your mechas, but you still pretended to be dead to pick up a life! Hahaha! Don't tell me, behind those soft-footed shrimp, there are still a large group of devils waiting, hahahahaha!"
The black man stopped at the door, not too close to the wounded. But his words were like a steel knife with a deboning handle, and Simbak, who had stabbed most of his bones and shattered most of his bones, kept trembling.
"Are you done? Get out of here when you're done! Don't force me, use that trick here!"
Simbac struggled to raise his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture at the black man.
Then, his arm hung down weakly, and he looked like a high paraplegic with half his foot in a coffin.
"Huh, that trick, you're still using it, rubbish!"
The black man laughed, but he subconsciously took a step back.
Simbak just looked at him coldly, his eyes completely turned bloodshot, as if to say, you can try it!
"Hmph! Waste is waste! Lao Tzu has no time to spend time with you, I'm not an idler like you, I don't know how many people have itchy bones like you, waiting for Lao Tzu to clean it up! Hmph, you'd better pray that it won't fall into my hands one day, worm!"
The black man strode away, and Simbak, whose feet were fixed on the operating table, suddenly writhed like an invertebrate, stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked his cheeks, watching the disappearing figure of his 'comrade-in-arms', revealing a strange smile.
In the restaurant on the second floor, Ling Qi, who hadn't had time to eat, frowned and took a leather scroll from a humanoid mechanical warrior.
"What is this? Hiding something in your stomach? Can you hide it from the scan?"
Ling Qi calmly opened the scroll, the fur had obviously been cleaned, but there were still a lot of blood stains on it.
In other words, the graphics and words on it are exactly like the meridians and blood veins that grow on the skin!
"This is the oldest human implant technology, Pizo, and it is one of the early implant research programs. And in the East, it is even thousands of years old. β
"Legend has it that during the Warring States period in the East, in order to inherit some confidential things, a family implanted 'Pizo' in the body of a newborn baby boy, and the 'Pizo' would grow with the host and eventually become a part of the host's body. β
Ling Qi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about the knowledge of these partial sects.
"I don't need to go into such detail, tell me what is recorded on it. β
Ling Qi spread the leather out on the table, and found that except for some text-like notes, most of them were regular, but completely incomprehensible graphics.
There are people, geography, mountains, rivers and plants, and it is completely like an impromptu graffiti.
Of course, it must be a master's graffiti, and it is definitely not a child's painting.
Because Ling Qi felt that those messy patterns seemed to be alive, as if he had something to say to him. It's just that his understanding or chance is not enough, so he can't read it.
"Abstract paintings?!"
Ling Qi thought like this, looked at those words again, and found that he also didn't know what kind of ghost drawing it was.
Having given up on his own ability to crack and research this strange thing, he believed that Mr. Yes or Zero would not hand him an unusable scrap. And as a person who knows how to use resources, everything is unnecessary!
