Maybe it was because the stick was struck too hard, and when Tang Cheng woke up, there was still a buzzing sound in his head.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the unfamiliar surroundings made him quickly wake up.

In front of me is a scene full of science and technology.

Suspended from the central screen, a large satellite map is displayed, and several ultra-thin computers next to it scroll through complex program code. Half of the superprocessors occupy half of the wall, dark blue coolant circulates and carries away excess heat.

On the test bench, a high-precision intelligent robotic arm carefully performs repair operations and clamps the tiny chips out of the damaged equipment. The damaged location was still sparkling outward.

There was a cold metallic texture all around, which made Tang Cheng, who often dealt with flesh and blood, a little depressed and uncomfortable.

Tech labs? Tang Cheng, who looked at the environment in front of him, quickly thought about it.

Why did he get here?

He is not a wealthy second generation, and it is unlikely that such a thing as kidnapping and blackmail will happen to him.

He suddenly seemed to think of something, and groped for himself. However, in the end, no knife cuts were found, which also ruled out the possibility of encountering a criminal gang of organ traffickers.

Is it because you have offended someone?

He searched his mind but couldn't find an answer. With his maverick personality, it is indeed easy to have conflicts with colleagues, but this will never rise to the level of kidnapping.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand the reason, the focus at the moment is to find a way to escape first.

There was no one else in the laboratory, Tang Cheng walked to the door and tentatively pushed and pulled twice to confirm that the door was locked from the outside.

There are no windows on all four sides, but there should be tools to pry open doors in a huge laboratory. Thinking of this, he immediately rummaged around.

"If I were you, I would choose to stay where I am."

Tang Cheng had just found half of it, and a cold male voice suddenly resounded in the room.

At the same time, the mechanical arm on the test bench suddenly stopped moving, and the manipulator switched to a gas welding gun, aiming at Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng raised his hand in fright, stood up straight, and the screwdriver he had just found fell to the ground out of his palm.

The camera in the upper right corner of the room suddenly stretched out, and with the support of the swinging arm, it moved to Tang Cheng's approach, almost hitting his face.

There is no doubt that he has been under surveillance since he was kidnapped.

The arm turned out the flames, switched back to the robot, picked up the screwdriver on the ground, and turned it back to continue repairing the broken equipment.

"Who the hell are you kidnapping me for here?" Tang Cheng asked in surprise.

"Sit down and talk slowly."

The voice sounded again, and then the chair that was idle in the back suddenly activated its wheels and rushed over quickly.

Tang Cheng only felt that something was bumped by something in the crook of his knee, and under the effect of inertia, he sat on the chair.

"What do you have to say to your face, what kind of ability is it to hide behind the surveillance!" Tang Cheng was furious.

"Good!" The voice readily agreed.

As the voice fell, the image on the central screen suddenly distorted and shattered, and all the fragments reassembled in an instant, forming a human form.

This humanoid, with no facial features in sight, only a vague half-body outline, like the initial avatar of social software.

"Hello Mr. Tang, my number is Turing 5467. I'm an AI, and humans habitually call us – artificial intelligence. ”

Tang Cheng looked at the screen in surprise, and the expression on his face stiffened for a moment.

It was an AI who kidnapped him! At this moment, he couldn't help but have some doubts about life.

"Why did you arrest me?"

"I invited Mr. Tang here to entrust you to help us do something." Turing 5467 said quietly, "Have you heard of big data? ”

"What?" Tang Cheng was confused.

"By collecting and processing large amounts of data, we can analyze and derive important information results. Depending on the amount of data and the sophistication of the algorithm, it can be used to push interest as it pleases, and more advanced ones can even predict the development trend of some events. ”

"Something about it."

"What we do is advanced applied research on big data. Predict the birth, old age, sickness and death of human beings, or - crime. When we were analyzing the big data available, we inadvertently predicted that a major serial murder would happen in a few days, and it was about someone who was important to us. ”

"Then you should go to the police."

"There is no way for the police to open a case for investigation if it does not happen. Moreover, the murderer is cruel and extremely meticulous, and a large number of clues will be destroyed when calling the police. Once the case happens, it will be a complete mystery. Therefore, we need someone to secretly intervene in the investigation based on data predictions and find out the murderer's whereabouts before the crime, so that we can leave evidence of his crime through a third party. ”

"But I'm just a doctor, I can't help, so you might as well let me go back." Tang Cheng spread his hands.

"According to the information we gathered, Mr. Tang is not only a doctor, but also a veteran mystery enthusiast." After Turing 5467 finished speaking, an old forum post suddenly appeared on the center screen, "This is an analysis post you made on the forum about the murder mystery three years ago." Although it later sank, the case you analyzed was solved three years later, and the results were exactly what you deduced. ”

"That's it?" Tang Cheng had a suspicious look on his face, "Are you here to investigate the case, or are you here to investigate me?" Even the sinking stickers are dug up! ”

"We certainly found you after a lot of data analysis. It is also very important to note that the people killed in this incident are all related to you to varying degrees. ”

"People around me?"

"Yes."

"Then you can tell them to hide!"

"No one can change the trajectory of events, they will definitely die." Turing 5467's voice was cold, "The only thing that can be done is to dig up clues about the murderer before the crime." ”

Tang Cheng smiled coldly, suddenly sat up straight, staring at the humanoid silhouette on the screen, "Since you can predict the development trend of events based on data, can you predict that I will smash the screen with a chair in the next second and end your nonsense?" ”

"It's useless. We've implanted smart chips in your body that collect your sensory information and electrical nerve signals. The sound you hear now is intracranial conduction. Turing 5467 said, "My ontology is parasitic on the network, and this screen is just a temporary carrier, even if you blow up the lab, I can still find you." Of course, I also predicted that you would be nonviolent and uncooperative, so I tied you here, and that's what I did after analyzing and calculating. ”

As he spoke, it seemed that something suddenly fell from the ceiling and smashed into Tang Cheng's body.

He looked down and saw a small mechanical spider made of alloy, quickly climbing onto his arm.

Just as Tang Cheng was about to throw it down, the little thing suddenly switched form and turned into a metal bracelet, which was firmly attached to his wrist.

The inner ring of the bracelet seemed to have something like a needle prick, which pierced directly into Tang Cheng's skin.

"What is this?" Tang Cheng asked.

"A greeting gift for Mr. Tang. Don't look at this thing as small, it can release more than 220V. Once the chip in your brain detects that you want to flee or is hostile, the shock mode will activate itself. ”

"You guys are buying and selling!"

Tang Cheng tried to violently remove the bracelet.

In the next second, the tingling sensation that accompanied the suffocation quickly surged all over the body.

After defying the law, Tang Cheng finally disarmed and surrendered.

"Among the people who will be killed, there are your friends and people who are very important to us." Turing 5467 said, "So, let's be more peaceful and talk about cooperation." ”
