Volume 3 Chapter 20 The Emotionless Machine

2 ['Seven' perspective]

"Ha, isn't this the spear god who was beaten all over the ground some time ago?"

The controller of the system, known as the 'Nian Qi God', said.

“…… Want to fight? ”

Hearing the word 'fight', the program automatically goes into alert and picks up the gun -

Standing on the other side of the system is a man known as the 'Gun God'.

"Hahaha, I don't have the heart to play with you."

The system laughed and said - I don't understand why the effect of 'joy' is expressed in the most laborious way. That is, the maximum facial muscle representation is used. Or is this a kind of 'joy' at all, although the facial movements of the system are defined as 'joy' in the self-learning program, but they do not have the same effect as 'joy' in other examples.

"Didn't you miss too? I'm embarrassed to say it. ”

Gun God said.

"Hmph, not necessarily."

The system stares at the 'spear god' with a sharp eye, and in the program, such an action is defined as 'taunt'. The system often does this.

"We'll see you later—"

The system waved its hand and walked past the 'gun god', we just met in a narrow way, in the real sense.

"You should be careful not to make too much noise."

The 'Spear God' said to the system, but the system did not respond to him.

I picked up my pace and caught up with the system.

"The reason for the miss—is it because of me?"

Replays of the program show that if the first shot hits the target. The action will not fail.

“……”

The system walked to my left without turning its head, and squinted at me slightly with a negative gaze for a second and three milliseconds. Clam up.

"I'm sorry."

I apologize that this is a common expression of regret in the program.

"Hurry up, hurry up and go home."

The speed of speech in the system is very fast, and in the program, this is a manifestation of irritability.

"System – Convey acceleration commands."

I quickened my pace, leaving the system behind me in a few moments, what the hell was the point of him ordering me.

"Ahh

Behind him came the voice of the system's impatience.

I stopped.

"It's strange why only your program is so abnormal."

The system looked at me with a strange expression, which was recorded in the program as a general expression of contempt and contempt for the other person.

The system is belittling me.

"I originally wanted to design you as a combat weapon, but I didn't introduce the [Emotion System]. Unexpectedly, the operation of the whole machine is unsatisfactory, and the self-learning ability is too weak. You're a failure. ”

The system defines me as a failure.

Search – What does it mean to fail?

"Failures – should be discarded."

That's the conclusion I came to in the end.

"Ah—that's true, but I don't have the energy to design machines anymore."

"-I haven't found a self-destruct program, how should I be discarded?"

"Self-destructing? There is no such thing. Why is discarding a self-destruct, and how do these two relate in your program? ”

He frowned—a gesture that generally showed confusion and impatience.

"Based on instances in big data – correlation."

"Ahh

"Understood—the system gives a mute order."

So I shut my mouth and didn't speak until the system gave the order again.

"Ahh It's a pity that it can't be changed now, and it's difficult to modify the things that inject 'qi'. ”

The system mutters to itself in a thick, nasal voice while scratching its head [irritably].

"That's it, about that."

Five minutes later, the system stopped in an alley, which was full of residential buildings, but according to the program map, it was located on the outskirts of Qianshan City, and the residential building occupancy rate was not high.

Every once in a while, the system looks at the watch, and it is accompanied by a shaking of the feet.

In the program - this is a manifestation of his extreme irritability.

"Ahh

After a while, the system showed a [smile], still the usual [exaggerated] smile, but I don't know if he really felt [joy].

He would smile like that when around the corner of the alley, a man with a briefcase appeared.

"It's you...... Say yes. ”

"Ahh

"Yes—to my daughter—here's the agreed payment."

The man opened the briefcase, which was full of banknotes.

There was a little girl next to the man, estimated to be about 7-8 years old, which was roughly estimated by the program through the degree of damage to the iris.

"Save my daughter."

"Ah—no problem at all."

The system said with a smile and stretched out his right hand, and the surrounding air currents condensed in his hand, followed by a yellow light.

“……”

Then the system clenched hard, and the air currents and yellow light rushed out and circled around him.

"I'm just—a god of energy."

The system said with an exaggerated smile.

"Ahh

The man looked terrified.

"You, stand ahead."

The system said to the man.

The man hesitated for a moment, then moved forward step by step.

"There's [that light] in you. Someone who has seen Hades—"

The system laughs.

"Now, it's time for you to go back. Enjoy the feeling of putting Krathong. ”

The system jerked his head up, stretched out his right hand, palm facing the man, his face extremely distorted, and then—

Bang ————————————!!!

The system's palms erupted with lethal currents of air and energy, pushing the man away and into the wall behind the alley.

Bang, bang, bang————!

"It's interesting—"

The system laughed and said.

Three air cannons were fired at the man's position.

The man's flesh was blurred, and the alley was covered with blood, like a graffiti maniac's work of art in red ink.

Blood also splashed on the body and face of the little girl on the side, and the little girl watched all this with fear.

"Daddy...... Father? ”

The little girl trembled and chased to the wall, looking at the 'father' who was no longer visible.

"Go back, Seven."

“……”

The gag order is not over yet, and you can't speak yet. I watched it all, and it was a picture that often appeared, at least since I was born, most of my life has been spent in this red.

But why - every time, in this case, there is a delay in the program.

I don't understand why.

Listening to the sound of the little girl crying, the delay of the program became more and more obvious.

The system ignored the banknotes scattered on the ground and headed in the other direction to the west of the alley.

I followed the system and forgot about the footage.

This is the work I was born out of—following the instructions of the system—repeating the work of interrupting the lives of others.

Every time I encounter such a picture, I will feel strange.

The little girl's cry still couldn't get out of my head.

I stole back and looked at the little girl behind me—she was going to lose her father as a human from today.

And what caused all of this was the system in front of me, the Nian Qi Shen.

I don't understand why the system would do such a thing, and he never told me, and I had no right to ask, so I had to do what he commanded.

But what exactly is the point of all this he does. Or is it just that he wants to do it.

I approached the system and observed his expression.

[His expression is serious, and he doesn't have the exaggerated face just now.] As if thinking about something, his fists clenched—]

"What do you see me doing?"

The system noticed my gaze and asked.

“……”

The ban was not lifted, and I could only shake my head slightly.

"Ah———— you can talk."

"System, unbanned. I'm just watching the expression of the system. ”

"What's there to observe about my expression?"

The system said with a sigh.

Sigh – what this means, in big data, there are many interpretations, but none of them seem to fit the status quo.

"Go home, go home. Sleepy. ”

The system repeated.

"Understood."

I followed the system and disappeared into the alley.
