Act Sixty-Nine. Kill somebody to do away with a witness
The researchers in the laboratory came and went, trying to restore the original state of the laboratory, according to Professor Gale, they usually came to the laboratory at ten o'clock in the morning, so they could not detect the theft earlier, and he had just reported to the school city, Bai Ge arrived.
"If the data is leaked, some people may accuse the school city of inhumane research, and although we have obtained the consent of the volunteers, this kind of testing is considered inhumane by many human rights organizations, especially some civil society organizations that strongly resist alchemy dolls, and it is extremely blasphemous to give human perception to machines."
Professor Gale explained with some resignation.
Bai Ge has heard that in some economically developed areas of the Panxi Sea, there are indeed some rich people who are calling on everyone to return to their roots and stop using alchemy dolls, believing that only agricultural civilization is the right way for human beings to survive.
Others are seriously resistant to alchemy dolls, believing that these humanoid creations are disrespectful to the gods, and it is unknown which god they revere.
"If our research goes well, we will soon be able to make alchemy dolls truly possess human perception, which can promote the development of alchemy dolls in various ways and make them better serve humans."
Professor Gale added another sentence to justify his research.
"It's just that if this research is used by bad guys, it may really be able to create human-like alchemy dolls, I know, this will set off huge waves in public opinion, so the progress of our experiments is all reported to Xuecheng, and we will never engage in related research."
"I see."
If alchemy dolls that steal data and algorithms are really self-conscious, then the importance of this research is self-evident: it is a key technology for alchemy dolls to "become" into humans.
Merely...... Bai Ge felt that there was more involved, he looked around, and his eyes fell on one of them.
"Where do you usually stay at night?"
Bai Ge opened his mouth to ask, but the subject was not Professor Gale, but Melpomene on the side.
This makes the researchers in the lab a little strange, as this kind of inquiry is usually supposed to be asked directly to humans.
"Melpomene would be on standby in the lab at night, from nine o'clock in the evening, after cleaning the lab, until seven o'clock the next morning."
The orange-haired alchemy puppet replied in a flat voice.
The standby she was referring to was the same as Harleson before, entering a dormant state, and the external movement would basically not be perceived after that, so of course, Melpomene should not have seen the alchemy doll stealing the information at night.
"I see."
Bai Ge nodded in acknowledgment and took a brief look at the laboratory again.
"First of all, there is a little question, why did the thief make the laboratory look like this, since he stole the data, he could just copy it and leave, if it was done a little better, you wouldn't even find out that the data had been stolen, so that he would have a long time to deal with it, and now, after learning that your data was stolen, you will definitely take measures, such as, well, to monitor all the use of the computing resources of the Library of Alexandria, to find traces."
His words caused Professor Gale to think in silence, and when he thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
If it's really just stealing materials, why do you want to destroy it, the key is that this destruction is not in place, you know, most of the data in the Xuecheng laboratory are backed up in the Library of Alexandria, even if the hard disk is physically damaged, the data can be recovered, he did this, it will only make the people in the laboratory find out that they have been robbed earlier. ζζΊη«― δΈη§θ¨δ½γβm.\B\iq\u\g\\o\mγ provides you with wonderful \ novel reading.
"On the other hand, the thief's purpose may be to make you find out if you've stolen it."
Bai Ge flipped the chessboard over.
Because he knew that the prisoner might be an alchemy puppet, he was naturally able to deduce more information.
Why did the prisoner run in the corridor at night, more than once, it can be simply speculated that the previous few times were rehearsals, and last night it was an official theft.
But from another point of view, it was these rehearsals that caught the attention of the students, and even spread the strange rumors like urban legends, and it was this abnormal situation that made it "reasonable" for alchemy dolls to appear and run in the corridors at night, after all, it is an urban legend, and it is normal to appear from time to time.
If Bai Ge hadn't heard Song Yufei's words and hadn't reasoned about it, when this laboratory was stolen, I am afraid that everyone would have thought that someone had stolen the information, thus turning the focus of suspicion to the intruder, not the alchemy puppet.
This is where the ingenuity of thinking comes in.
Under the guise of exposing themselves, the alchemy puppets hide themselves in the blind spot of their minds.
Knock Knock β
There was a knock on the door, and everyone in the lab turned their heads to see two men in library staff uniforms standing in the doorway.
"We got a report that something was lost here."
The two men, who seemed to be the security guards who handled this kind of thing here in the school, walked into the laboratory, looked around, and then put down their backpacks, as if to take out some equipment.
"Yes, the main thing is ......"
Professor Gale was about to explain the situation, but Bai Ge suddenly stopped him.
"Wait, Professor."
Bai Ge's actions caused the two to stop opening their backpacks.
"There shouldn't be any male alchemy dolls for guards here in the school city, right?"
"Huh?"
Before Professor Gale could react, he saw the two men pull something black out of their backpacks.
It's a gun.
These two men are alchemy dolls!
Bai Ge's [Assassin Vision] discovered at the first time that these two people were not real humans, but male entertainment alchemy dolls, these alchemy dolls could not be seen from humans at all, plus there was no need to communicate with emotions, so in this case, they deceived Professor Gale.
They had shotguns in their hands, enough to kill all the targets in the lab without having to aim accurately.
Due to the large number of bystanders, Bai Ge did not use the [Steal] ability to take those bullets, but picked up a screwdriver and walked forward directly.
Bang β
The muzzle of the alchemy puppet's hand standing in front was raised, and the bullet burst out, hitting the ceiling.
At the same time, the alchemy puppet in the back also pulled the trigger.
Bang β
However, with a muffled sound, Bai Ge pushed the alchemy puppet in front of him to the muzzle of the gun with brute force, and the bullet hit the alchemy puppet's body, which was absorbed by the high-intensity body and did not splash out.
In Bai Ge's field of vision, a faint light flickered.
With one hand, he pressed the fingers of the alchemy puppet in front of him in front of him to prevent it from continuing to shoot, and the screwdriver in the other hand pierced directly between the opponent's eyes, inserting the energy supply module, causing it to stop moving.
Bang β
Another shot was fired, and the alchemy puppet in front of Bai Ge had lost power and collapsed towards the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Ge pulled out a screwdriver and dodged to the side of the latter alchemy puppet, and before he could react, the sharp Phillips screwdriver had already been inserted into the alchemy puppet's head from the position of the solar system and came out from the other end.
The dust had settled, and less than ten seconds had passed.
β...... Unexpectedly, it was ......"
Professor Gale watched this scene in disbelief, and Bai Ge was surprised by the fact that he had easily and easily solved the two alchemy dolls with guns.
Can humans really do that?
For a moment, Professor Gale wondered if he was dazzled.
And what made him feel even more incredible was the scene where the alchemy puppet held a gun to himself.
Seeing the two alchemy dolls and the scattered parts on the ground, Professor Gale knew that this was not a hallucination.
The alchemy puppets are really trying to attack humans.
This is completely contrary to the three laws of alchemy dolls!
Surprised, Professor Gale saw Bai Ge walking towards him again.
In his hand, he still holds the screwdriver that glows with cold light.
"Hey, Mr. Hercule?"
Professor Gale asked tentatively.
"Sure enough, first use the obvious theft to attract the attention of the researchers, and when they try to contact the school city and find the security guards, they will use entertainment alchemy puppets to pretend to kill people."
Has the strategy of the alchemy puppets evolved to this extent?
Bai Ge sighed with some emotion, a few days ago, he was still a straightforward alchemy puppet, but now that he has such thoughts, it is difficult to say what kind of means these alchemy puppets will use to kill humans once the shackles are lifted.
But......
"Killing people is an unnecessary act in itself, and under this layer, there is actually another purpose hidden."
Bai Ge stopped in front of Professor Gale.
"If all the researchers are dead, then no one will care about the object that should be suspected, and they can even fake their death to get out, and it is really easier to use this trick than an alchemy puppet compared to a human who wants to see a corpse when they die."
He looked at one of them.
"I'm right, Melpomene, no, you're not a Morpomene-type alchemy doll, just an entertainment alchemy doll that looks very similar."
The orange-haired, black-and-white maid costume of the alchemy doll doesn't say a word.
I could only see that she had taken out a knife in her hand at some point, and was about to press against Professor Gale's lower back.
When Bai Ge first entered the laboratory, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, because the alchemy puppets of the Morpomene model in this laboratory were slightly different from his impression.
[Man with a Thousand Faces] quickly told Bai Ge that this was not the original Morpomene alchemy doll.
It's an alien alchemy puppet in disguise!
Then the matter is clear.
This alien alchemy doll replaced the alchemy doll of the Melpomene model, disguised as an assistant, trying to steal the research results of the laboratory, and last night, when everyone left, "Melpomene" did not go into hibernation, but remained awake, stole materials, and made the laboratory a mess, in order to allow Professor Gael to find security personnel and kill people.
At this time, "Melpomene" can disguise itself as if it was destroyed in battle, and safely transfer its chip and data out.
At the same time, because the Internet will lead to the discovery of "Melpomene", she did not connect to the network of the Library of Alexandria, and in the face of Bai Ge's identity, she will get the answer so quickly!
If Bai Ge hadn't arrived, then there was no doubt that Professor Gale would have been brutally murdered and the entire research stolen.
Although Bai Ge was skeptical about the alchemy puppet's self-awareness, he knew one thing.
The change that relies on the slaughter of innocent people is probably not the right change.
