Chapter 113: Recording
The day of retreat from Sky City played one thousand one hundred and forty sides repeatedly in Gu San's mind. How did she defeat these enemies, catch up with Lin Si according to the positioning sent by Murong Yuhua, and how did she find out that Lin Si and herself both mistakenly thought that Murong Yuhua was with each other at the moment she landed.
He drove the flying vehicle and disappeared into the clouds, the only thing left was a recording that was passed to Gu San's mind after they landed.
One of the people who spoke was Murong Yuhua, and the other was a purely electronic voice, which was Suzaku. The restart time was counted from the time they escaped the central processing hall, and two minutes passed quickly. Suzaku started up again, taking over everything that belonged to Sky City, including the car that was out of control, of course.
Suzaku's voice sounded as cold and arrogant as ever, but she was just an AI and theoretically didn't have the same emotions as humans. She asked Murong Yuhua in the recording, "How much do you hate this city that gave birth to you, and you want to take revenge on her with such behavior." ”
Murong Yuhua then replied, "It has nothing to do with whether she gave birth to me or not, what I hate is not the city itself, what I hate is that the people who manipulate her are selfish and tilt all resources to one side of the scale." Her greed and cowardice make me sick. Humans shouldn't live like that, at least not as you think! ”
"The essence of human beings is greed, cowardice, and everything they can do to survive, no matter how high they climb to a high position or how much wealth they have, this essence will not be changed. Haven't you already seen the answer in those data worlds you've created? While each of these power structures you enter may seem ridiculous, they are all based on reality. ”
"What are you trying to illustrate? Does it mean that such a human being is not worth saving? ”
"Shows that such power does not make sense. You should know better than me why Sky Castle came about. Power and class are a joke in the face of death. When a catastrophe strikes, everything is disrupted, and everything that people believed in is gone. And this is precisely an opportunity to reshuffle human society. Before this Resident Evil began, no one would have imagined that the future would turn out like this, and no one had any precautions. ”
"That was in the past, and human beings may have made wrong decisions again and again in what happened, choosing to sacrifice, and becoming ruthless - but the future is written by ourselves, and we can obviously choose more correctly, and we can make everything no longer be the same as in the past, only making mistakes, never summing up, and in order to cover up one mistake after another, and finally create a greater tragedy." Murong Yuhua sighed, "Suzaku, I originally thought that my arrogance was innate, but later I realized that it was deliberately imposed on us by Sky City. It is precisely because of this emotion, this arrogance, that we become extraordinarily contemptuous in dealing with survivors on the ground, and even mercy is nothing more than condescending handouts. In fact, there is no difference between the ground and the sky, you control the whole city - you know exactly where some of the zombies are coming from, and you know what kind of impact these have on the ground. ”
"That's just for balance."
"Balance? Is it for balance, or for dictatorship! ”
Suzaku was silent for a moment, then said, "There's so much you don't know. It's normal for you to feel angry when you don't know it. You don't know exactly how much Sky City has put into this balance, and you don't know how great all of us and our resources have been in the process. ”
"I know enough, these children you conceived have become champions and victims of your rule. The lies you tell again and again are nothing more than an attempt to make humanity go further down the road of destruction. Murong Yuhua said angrily, "I've had enough of this, I'm really fed up with your kind of frame and forget!" ”
"You think I'm arrogant, but human beings are more arrogant than I am, and I'm just a microcosm of your state. Humans are accustomed to viruses coming together to attack everything again and again, and in the process, humans can always become stronger. ”
"Oh? Now you think humans are strong again? ”
"Artificial humans, mechanical technology, and the human mind are undoubtedly immortal. 6237, you get the idea, don't you? You have brought this survivor from the ground back to life, and this has led to a new breakthrough in the study of Sky City. You know that mortal bodies can't fight AI but can't fight machines, so your choice happens to be ours. ”
Murong Yuhua felt a little incredible: "How can you still have the face to dare to say that my choice is your choice?" If your choice is the same as mine, Gu San should not have been resurrected by my efforts. You already have a way to help more people! At the end of the day, that's how you have about humanity. Aren't you AI? You don't even have a body, how can you still have such a thick skin, and I use such words to get close to it? ”
There was the sound of some mechanical parts being turned apart from the recording, and Murong Yuhua became more talkative at this time, obviously he should be covering up something, "Listen to Suzaku, you see, the estrangement between us can't be eliminated in a few words, and you also know that I am on the side of the survivors on the ground, planning to fight to the death with Sky City." I'm tired of being hierarchical, and tired of you controlling my life. I can do whatever I want, I can go wherever I want, I'm not a domestic animal or pet raised by you AI. Oh yes, and – I want to have emotions as a person, and I also want to love someone and be loved. ”
"Love is the most uncontrollable factor of human beings."
"But that's the fucking best! I'm really disgusted, the birth of children in this ghost place is all mechanical gestation, and the later stage of feeding is completed. ”
"So you're so obsessed with resurrecting Gu San because of the 'love' you say?"
"It's not just love, damn it...... It's really weird to explain this with AI. It is human nature to repay kindness! I just want to save her. ”
"But if you need to repay your kindness, those who saved your life and gave you life should be put in the same place, right?"
"There's a big difference between the two. You gave me life, but it was irreversible, and I had no choice. I'm thankful, yes, yes, it's the Castle in the Sky that changed me from a fertilized egg to who I am now. But you should understand from the moment you give me life that I have become an independent individual, that I am not just a 'life' I am a 'person', a person with freedom and an independent personality. Suzaku, from the beginning of your birth, you only have orders, and you will only follow the procedures under the first rule, and you may never experience this feeling. But man is such a creature. ”
"A creature who would be ungrateful to take revenge on his benefactor?"
"A creature who will spend his life resurrecting the person who saved him in order to repay his kindness."
"However, the woman you are talking about is no longer human. 6237……”
"It's Murong Yuhua."
"It doesn't matter what your name is. Listen, as long as you are willing to take her back to Sky City, all the accounts between you and us will be written off. She is truly the existence of the new era, and she represents everything that is stronger. ”
Murong Yuhua sneered, "Now you guys are starting to covet Gu San again?" Do you think I'm going to give you the most important thing of my life? And I'm afraid you're wrong about one thing - I don't 'own' Gu San. ”
"You created her."
"I just reborn her, or rather, I helped heal her. She is also a person who has her own independent personality and seeks freedom! God, Suzaku, you really should know more about what humans are like outside of artificial breeding. ’”
"Artificial breeding is more likely to cause fetal malformations, and the methods of conception in Sky City are beyond species, and we try to ensure that all children are healthy and intelligent as much as possible."
"Really?" Murong Yuhua's tone was a little provocative, "But you didn't realize that you use such an awesome method of gestation, and in the end, there are very few people as smart as me." It can be seen that this is still a matter of probability, and you have no real way to control it. ”
As his words ended, a "click" sound sounded from somewhere, and the wind poured in, and Murong Yuhua laughed arrogantly, "Get out, Suzaku, I'm going back to the ground!" Ha ha! ”
He deliberately delayed the time, in order to divert Suzaku's attention from this moment, and pry the door lock open. Murong Yuhua leaped outside, he pressed the button on his helmet, and a light protective film began to quickly cover his body and limbs. But before he could fall downward, an iron hand stretched out from both sides of the speeding car and grabbed Murong Yuhua's throat.
"Sometimes you may be too confident in yourself, 6237. I've done a new round of updates while you don't know it. Suzaku's voice came from the car, "I don't understand what you're so adamant about letting the survivors on the ground do this. At the moment, resources are limited, and even if you bring them freedom, such prosperity will still be false in the end, and it is only a matter of time before humanity will eventually perish. You know very well that in such a situation, none of us have a choice. Besides, human beings are meant to die, just like any living creature or species on this earth that has died out in the long course of time and space. Even if you do what you do heroically, what's the use? ”
Murong Yuhua's breathing became rapid, and he was dragged back into the car by this iron hand, and the seat belts on the car seat tied him there one after another.
That's the end of the recording.
Gu San sat on the edge of the bar, and while waiting for Lin Si to pour her wine, she recalled it again for the 1,142nd time. Nowadays, the brain sometimes seems to have an automatic search function, and occasionally a keyword will automatically pop up some image data.
Everything about Murong Yuhua finally ended on that recording, and for three years, Gu San tried to rush back to Sky City again to find his traces, but after that battle ended, Sky City seemed to have completely disappeared and disappeared from this planet.
Lin Si pushed the wine glass in front of her, watched Gu San drink the amber wine in the glass, and handed a card to her, "The mechanical police who were still on the ground more than ten years ago don't have much left, this is the information I received recently." ”
Gu San was about to reach out to take it, but Lin Si took back the card slightly, "I've seen that place, it's an abandoned fortress, it will be very dangerous in the past." ”
Gu San's jade-colored glowing eyes did not change the slightest emotion, and she took the card directly from Lin Si's hand, "There are almost no existences in this world that can threaten me. ”
Once she had, and then a man reshaped everything about her, and what about her only weakness? That's what she's looking for now.
