"If you know the truth, you will be drawn into a great conspiracy, and all the peace you have now will be gone, or you will know a different me, a me that you fear. If so, would you still be wondering? Fang Yao took two steps closer to Qing Chi, trying to see the fear in her eyes.

However, to Fang Yao's disappointment, Qing Chi's eyes did not have the fear he wanted to see, not even a trace of wavering. She just smiled softly and said very calmly but firmly, "Tell me." ”

Fang Yao tilted his head slightly, and motioned for Qing Chi to sit down, "This story is very long. There's a little boy, let's call him F. He was diagnosed with a family genetic disease at an early age, and doctors asserted that he would not live to be 20 years old. But fortunately, he was very precocious, was diagnosed as a gifted child, and his brain development and intelligence far exceeded that of his peers, and he had a strong interest in computers since he was a child. ”

Fortunately, his family was not an ordinary family, but a shrewd merchant family. Seeing his potential in the future, he did not give up on him, but did not hesitate to borrow money to treat his illness. Under the pressure from his family and the pleas of his parents, the little boy used his talent to constantly create things rich in financial benefits to save his family, and he successfully lived to his teenage years with a high amount of potions. ”

The boy finally felt tired. He began to refuse to create financial gain, he had never received the affection of a normal family, all he saw was the shrewd and eager eyes of his parents - to make more money! A little more! In order to escape control, he rejected the expensive aristocratic school, decided to live with his grandparents for a while, and came to an ordinary middle school. The gap with his peers and physical reasons made him have no friends. And during that time, there was only one very special girl, desperate to warm him and impatiently disturb him. ”

Fang Yao raised his eyes and glanced at Qing Chi, and continued to speak slowly: "In a sunset, the two sides finally became friends for the first time. A blueprint of the game world was drawn. Later, the teenager's parents found him, took him away, and gave him the best elite education. Because of the girl's words, he began to cheer him up again. He had to create that world and present it to her with all his abilities. ”

Qing Chi avoided Fang Yao's eyes with some weakness. Such sad eyes made her a little sad, and her nose was a little sour. It's obviously not her emotions, but they are expressed through the body of the original owner.

At that time, the teenager had grown into a young man, but it was more difficult to create this world than he imagined, and the research on intelligent systems had not progressed. Later, by chance, he met the most important mentor in his life - X. ”

The corners of Fang Yao's mouth hooked up a smile, looking a little cruel, "In countless studies, his body is getting worse and worse, his utilitarianism has blinded his eyes, and in order to achieve his goal, he has lost his humanity and reason. Wouldn't it be meaningless for us who are struggling to survive if we can't make a little contribution? X, with his genius mind, came up with a plan. In countless experiments, we tried and developed these solutions, and finally succeeded in amazing the world. In this sense, X is indeed great. ”

Qing Chi listened to Fang Yao's words, and unconsciously felt a trace of cold air on his body, and suddenly thought of what Eve said, Qing Chi blurted out violently: "X...... Is it Lu Mingcheng? ”

"Oh? Looks like you already know. Eve really trusts you. That's right, X is Lu Mingcheng, many years ago, he used to be a senior professor of brain and neurology. He once did a scientific research project, but that project was burned down, and all the core personnel who knew about it were missing or missing. Lu Mingcheng is also nowhere to be found. Later, I learned that after he left incognito, he found me with the help of a certain organization. With Toto Hospital as a secret base, we cooperated with me. ”

Qing Chi began to feel that he had faintly touched the truth of the matter, and couldn't help but speak: "That...... NPCs in the intelligent system, are they ...... Are they all real people? Did you already know about your research? ”

The corners of Fang Yao's lips hooked up a sarcastic smile: "Joke, there is no so-called intelligent system at all!" No matter how powerful the intelligence of a computer is, it will never be possible to produce such improvisational and creative human intelligence. If you see it once, you'll be fascinated and amazed at how responsive the human brain is in a computer system. ”

Qing Chi stood up abruptly and looked at Fang Yao: "In this way, the intelligent systems are all real people. And as far as I know, they don't have the right to choose! Fang Yao looked at her somewhat angry face and raised his eyebrows: "You are really much more excited than I imagined." Those people are not living people, you can rest assured. ”

Qing Chi was slightly stunned, "What do you mean......" Fang Yao smiled softly, there was a cold and dim light in his eyes, he stepped forward, the tip of his nose almost touched Qing Chi's face, "It's the living dead." No, it should be said, is that only the living brain remains. Since Toto Hospital is a secret base, there must be many basements. The important intelligent NPC characters needed for Destiny, and the data transmitted to the game's main company's computer, all came from the basement of this hospital. Countless ...... The brain, which has a response tube inserted and is continuously received and responded to by the machine, is located underground. It's strange why only the brain is still active, right? The human brain is such a peculiar existence, with current science and technology, it can be realized that it can still be active after leaving the human body. Of course, not all brains are successful after they are removed, so ...... There are also some living dead people, which is also normal. ”

Qing Chi's body trembled, and a cold air finally spread all over her limbs, making her a little speechless. She suddenly stared at Fang Yao and stretched out her hand to grab his collar, "Why do you want to do this!" ”

In the previous life, although her family was ruined because of the game, everything was caused by the cold. There's nothing wrong with creating this game in itself. She is still amazed by the intelligence of the game, as if it were a real beautiful scenery and the adventure of a strange world that cannot be experienced in reality. But I never thought that behind these flowers, there was blood. Every intelligent NPC was once a living person, they were imprisoned in the game world, became the player's companion, and lived forever in that empty world, what kind of despair is this?

Qing Chi's feet suddenly softened, and he leaned down and retched violently. Fang Yao frowned, stretched out his hand to grab her arm, but was violently pushed away by Qing Chi: "Don't touch me!" ”

Fang Yao snorted and fell to the ground. Qing Chi gasped a few times and turned his head away, only to see the scars crawling all over his arms. Bright red, like a worm, it is shocking.
