As for Sammel, even though the two of them slept in the same bed every day, Samel had always been alone, and he had never cared about what kind of existence her family and herself regarded as herself, and now there was only pain that should not be touched.

But Ephia is different from everyone else, this emotion is complex and pure, and in the end he can only find one word to define them - simple.

At that moment, he seemed to understand the purpose of this invasion.

Yes, our intellect cannot judge what it is, but if it can already invade the nervous system from the treatment process of a surgical robot, if there is such a material, a material technology that we do not yet know, then the only thing we can guess is the purpose, and perhaps the purpose we have always known.

"Efia, what are the factors that affect the treatment of mental illness?"

"There are too many, in terms of treatment, the biggest problem is that doctors can't really know what the patient thinks, where those ideas come from; how it has changed; What is it like now, what will it be like the next minute, what will the night, and what tomorrow will look like.

"When the light between the sun and the earth changes in May, why do so many patients commit suicide, and how does the periodic emotional change happen and change?

"We seem to know a lot, from brain imaging research, which is amazing research, to know that if a person is lying or making moral judgments, the energy of the brain is changing, and now we can see those changes.

However, we still don't know, we guess what happened before from the actions and results, but the truth is that we still don't know anything, we don't know our own brains and emotions, far less clear than we think, far less clear than the robots you make, let alone understand the emotions of others. ”

It's like I don't understand you. And for so many years I have been able to live like this entirely because of my wishful thinking that there was some kind of strong connection between two people?

Even this connection makes him less afraid of the future, which is cruelly unfolding in front of his eyes when facing Samel and John, and he needs to muster up the courage to tell the truth.

Eventually, after Shamer's suicide, he even felt a little lighter, as if the math test that the child was worried about had been canceled, a kind of inglorious happiness.

He would have liked to be more gentle, at least for a happy holiday.

"There's a question I still want to know." Representative Foley takes his last bite of sandwich and swallows the last drop of coffee. The pattern at the bottom of the cup foreshadows an ominous future.

He sat up straight, shifting his gaze from the coffee cup to Ephia's face. A face that I haven't seen for many years, but it's more touching than the one that grew up in my memory. It's really not pretty, the freckles jump on the cheeks, I'm afraid it will only get deeper and deeper, and the slightly thin shoulders have the strength to support the whole body.

"You... Just ask. Ephia didn't look up at him.

"Forget it, I don't want to know. Sometimes you make me scared, but I don't feel scared, that is, I should be aware of the fear, but there is no equivalent physiological change to it, like a patient with pain loss, they know it is painful, but they can't feel it, they can't have a biological experience. ”

Effia couldn't understand what Forlì was talking about, but Foley knew it was safe if she didn't understand, and if she implicated Ephia because she couldn't stand it alone, it would be true despair.

It was this morning that he understood a lot of questions, and Ephia was still sitting in front of him, perhaps only temporarily.

Berus may have died because of him, a point that Foley has no evidence for, but he has a strong feeling that the data machine cannot give a verification calculation, but he believes in himself.

Shamer's suicide will cause John's various problems, maybe it will involve a lifetime, once it is a mental problem, he needs his father's better company, maybe even if Shamer is alive, John has already had some serious problems.

Ephia was in a very dangerous situation, and she must have had something happen to her last night, but as she said she had forgotten.

In the end, it dawned on him that everything in front of him was unreal, and that this unreality stemmed from the truth that Ayoguchi Lingmi did not tell her.

What is she hiding? Of course, she may just be a pawn, and it is impossible to speculate on what exactly is behind Forley.

"If this organization wants what I'm saying to be true, Efiya, don't you think it's scary?"

"Foley, don't think too extremely."

"No, I'm not extreme, damn it, everything is obvious, why would we pretend that there is something more complicated behind it."

"Calm down, Foley, don't do that."

"I'm calm, humans are good at deceiving themselves, putting the most obvious facts in the invisible corners, covering them up with all kinds of things, humans can't know right and wrong at all, even computational models don't help, they are influenced by users, Ephia, if you want to see an old woman you will see an old woman from the side face of a young girl, and you will never see the face of that girl."

"What are you talking about?"

"I can't say, but I think something is too complicated for me to think about, so complicated that if that's really the case, then all people who have undergone robotic surgery, it's possible..."

"It's probably already artificial intelligence."

"That's right."

"So, they don't look that scary, do they?"

Representative Foley looked up and laughed, he never thought that Ephia would come to such a conclusion. Not only optimistic, but also like a spring breeze blowing across the water.

"If that's the case, New Orleans and Texas aren't much better, and Kansas City is no different. Upper Missouri-Mississippi River Basin, St. Paul up to St. Louis. Let's talk about what you can do without being affected. ”

"You can memorize the whole paragraph." Forlì looked at Ephia incredulously.

"I secretly changed a few locations, and you can't tell the difference." Efia blinked mischievously. Eyelashes flickered, and she was much more relaxed than when Foley first met her in the morning.

"And South Korea, which is a big country in medical robots; Southeast Asia, North America, Australia, are you saying that those beautiful women are all possible artificial intelligence? ”

Efia smiled shallowly, her brow furrowed, she didn't sound like she was joking.

But Foley laughed out loud.

This doesn't make sense, since it is already so advanced, why does Mussel Lingmei still try to make herself the target of invasion, there should be countless such cases.

The answer may only be known to the organization represented by Lingmei Mussel, and there is another possibility, and perhaps they don't know - how can we understand it if we are dealing with intelligence that is far higher than ours.

Maybe it's simply impossible, unconscious, and a long new evolution.

Evolution has never been beyond the reach of consciousness.

Ephia didn't ask further, she knew that Foley had made some decisions, and she couldn't ask and didn't have a position to ask.

She needed to figure out what was going on in her own mind, and it seemed that figuring out her own thoughts was far from being as easy as she thought, let alone understanding what others were thinking.
