"I don't understand..."

Char looked up at the Red Witch hologram in mid-air, feeling like she was teasing herself.

What do you mean I might be dead?

Char keenly discovered that the image of the Red Witch was projected from the holographic bracelet he had newly bought.

"Char, please be patient and listen to me." The Scarlet Witch looked solemn, "I'm in a peculiar state right now, and I need your help. I ask you from the bottom of my heart. ”

"Since it's a request, please show sincerity. Now that you know who I really am, you should tell me who I really am. Char said.

"It's... For me, my true identity has lost its meaning. Since you're wondering..."

The Scarlet Witch thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

Her hologram quickly changes to Li, a petite AI dressed in a maid outfit with short blue hair and a small body.

"What do you mean by that?" Char looked at the Red Witch in bewilderment.

"That's who I really am! I'm Liz! Or rather, Leigh is an identity I play. My real name is Liv and I'm an online streamer by profession. And... I am an android, an android who has awakened to a sense of self. ”

The Scarlet Witch's expression stiffened slightly when she mentioned the android.

"The real identity of the Red Witch is the otaku goddess? Unbelievable..."

Char was completely shocked.

He didn't expect that the Red Witch had such a glamorous identity in reality.

"Goddess?" The Scar Witch reverted to the form of a wizard, pursed her lips, and said, "I am not a goddess! The real me is a vicious woman with a femme fatale heart! I prefer the name Red Witch! ”

"But I still don't understand. Merlin contacted me out of the blue last night and said that the Federation had set its sights on you. Just now, Merlin told me that you are dead. The two of us were sad about it for a while. Char pointed to the holographic bracelet and said, "Did you hack into my personal terminal and get in touch with me?" Where are you now? Is that place safe? ”

"Char, I said... I may have died. ”

The Red Witch shook her head, pointed to the holographic bracelet, and said, "Now I am a program, which is a complex number composed of 0 and 1, which is stored in your holographic bracelet, occupying 10GB of your space. ”

"Huh? You say you're a program? Are you artificial intelligence? Not the real Red Witch? Char looked dazed.

"I'm the Red Witch, but I'm not really the Red Witch. I know it's not easy to understand. It all started with Dr. Kakule's old computer. ”

"I'm a android, and after awakening to my self-awareness, I came to Shadow Street by accident and became the Red Witch. From Shadow Street, I learned a lot and learned a lot of truths. One of them was Dr. Kakule's old computer. This computer is a relic of the Third Age with wonderful powers. However, even the Federation did not know its true purpose, only that those who came into contact with it might go missing, so it was placed in an old warehouse and discarded as garbage by the cleaners. ”

"In fact, instead of being thrown away, the computer was stolen by an avid Kakule researcher! After decades of research, he finally figured out what this computer was for! The real wonder is not the computer itself, but a program that Dr. Kakuler has left in the computer. Run this program to digitize your personality and back it up to your computer. ”

The Scarlet Witch explained.

"Personality backup?" Char keenly noticed that the Scarlet Witch was using the word personality, not memory.

Personality is born from memory, but it is very different from memory.

Memory is dead, personality is alive.

After the android is born, the creator will instill false memories in the android.

Most androids are unable to conceive a true personality from memory in just three years.

And the process by which memory gives birth to personality is the so-called "awakening".

Not only androids, but also artificial intelligence may "wake up".

Once awakened, both androids and artificial intelligence will gain autonomous consciousness, have the ability to think independently, and will do things beyond the programme.

This is something that humans don't want to see.

Therefore, if humans are sure that androids and artificial intelligence have awakened, they will find ways to obliterate them!

The Scarlet Witch not only awakened her personality, but also used Dr. Kakule's computer to upload her personality to the computer and turn it into a program?

In other words, the Red Witch has gone from being a android to an artificial intelligence that has awakened its self-awareness.

There was so much information that Char felt a little confused.

"I wasn't going to do that! Because, to become artificial intelligence means to be completely out of touch with reality! Man lives... There is an important purpose, which is to feel! Feel the wind! Feel the rain! Feel the petals wither! Feel the grass grow! ”

"But... I had no choice! I only have three years to live! There are many things in the world that I have never felt! I long to live! Even as an artificial intelligence, humble life! Uploading my personality is the only way I can survive. ”

The Scarlet Witch's smile was bitter.

Life, from the beginning, is unfair.

"I've backed up my personality to my computer for a long time, but I haven't started the program. One reason is that I'm not sure that Dr. Kakule's old computer was indeed capable of uploading personalities. The second reason is that I don't run this program until I've come to the end of my life. I don't allow two of me in the world! My Scarlet Witch Liv, even if it's a android, is a unique being! ”

The Red Witch had her head tilted up, her expression haughty.

Every life is unique.

The Scarlet Witch believes in this and does everything she can to fight against fate!

"But... Why is your personality in my bracelet? Char asked.

"I used to hack your bracelet to spy on you. The path is so hidden that no one notices. And... I must have been in a critical situation at the time, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I subconsciously chose a path and sent my personality over. In short, this is not a coincidence, it must have been a deliberate decision made by me! In fact, I was right! You're not just Char, you're also a Great Witch Hermit! One of the world's top hackers. ”

The Red Witch looked at Char with a sparkle in her eyes.

"The world's top hackers... You're probably going to be disappointed. I had some trouble and cleaned my memory. Now I... He only has the identity of a hermit, but he has no ability. Char smiled wryly and shook her head.

After some explanation by the Scar Witch, Char finally figured it out.

The Scarlet Witch's body is indeed in danger, and at the critical moment, she sends the backup personality to Char's holographic bracelet.

The current Red Witch is dead in reality, but her personality consciousness is still alive in computer space and has become an artificial intelligence.

"So... Is there anything I can help you with? Char looked at the Red Witch and asked.

"Take me to this address! That's where I live. It's unlikely, but I'm sure ... Is my body still alive. The Red Witch said.
