In the evening, a speakeasy in White Hart City called Winchester.

A sturdy man in his mid-thirty-fifth was wiping a number of goblets with a cloth, and there was no one else around, looking like he was both a bartender and a boss.

The closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a man walked in with his back to the light source.

"It opens at seven, and it's only five o'clock."

The middle-aged boss didn't look up, and the rag in his hand slowly moved along the inner wall of the wine glass very seriously.

"Wait at the bar, if you can wait."

"After so many years, why are you still shining like this, and the hair growth agent recommended to you has no effect?"

Lin Sheng sat on the edge of the bar in response.

Although the middle-aged boss in front of him looks a little ordinary, he is actually an out-and-out black goods dealer.

Some of the things that are difficult to obtain in the market are likely to be available to him, or get some ways to get them, as long as they ...... If the bid is reasonable enough.

On the surface, it is a bar, but in private, there are many people of all kinds, including members of the Shrike Bird, who are here to inquire about all kinds of gossip.

...... for two It's an old acquaintance.

After hearing Lin Sheng's voice, the boss put down the cup in his hand, and he raised his head to look at the man in front of him.

"Yo, are you still alive? It seems that your so-called 'peace of mind and death' is just a joke. ”

"Thanks to you, I've found some reason to survive temporarily." Lin Sheng smiled.

"Don't, I can't afford this favor."

The boss took out a loose bottle of beer, opened the cap and poured it into a beer glass.

"This cup is considered to be my invitation, how do you roll it after drinking...... You know what to expect. ”

Pushed it in front of Lin Sheng, and then wiped several other goblets again.

Lin Sheng didn't pick up the glass, but put away the smile on his face and looked at the other party.

"Anyway, it's an old acquaintance, so there's no need to be so ruthless."

Hearing this, the boss suddenly stopped what he was doing.

He leaned close to the bar and leaned down, staring into the eyes of the man in front of him.

"I didn't pick up the guy hanging on the wall behind me and give you a shot to make a sieve, you think...... After I treated you as a friend and you killed the only family I had, I should have been more kind to you, right? ”

"You know very well that it was an accident."

Lin Sheng picked up the beer glass and took a few sips.

It was before the humanoid incident on the wall that Lin Sheng was selected to lead a team to carry out a secret operation of the Shrike Bird.

At that time, the regular armed forces of the Shrike were not yet fully formed, and some of the Dreamers were assigned to work outside of the Intervention.

There was no description of the content of the mission, and Lin Sheng only knew that his superiors were simply asking them to transport an object to the location of the research institute in Fenshan City.

Due to the hidden needs of the mission, the shrike did not take air transport measures, but escorted it in the form of separate transportation in a fleet of four fake and one true.

But there was an unexpected situation during the escort......

A group of people of unknown origin attacked the convoy of the genuine goods as they passed through a sparsely populated tunnel on the outskirts of Fenshan City, killing all the people and robbing the genuine goods in a short period of time.

And Diao Yu, the younger brother of the boss in front of him...... was arranged by Lin Sheng in the personnel list of that team.

"If it's not for sure that it really has nothing to do with you, do you think you can still sit here with a glass of wine and concave with me?"

The boss's eyes narrowed slightly, temporarily restraining some of the calm meaning in his eyes.

"Later, in terms of your intelligence network, there will always be some eyebrows." Lin Sheng asked.

"Yes or no, do you need to talk to someone like you who is almost supposed to burp?"

The boss reverted to his kind appearance again, wiping his glass as if it hadn't been him a few seconds ago.

"The Shrike Bird's statement has not changed, and I was convinced of it at the beginning, but now...... If I didn't guess wrong, the gang ...... It's the Mirror Society. ”

Lin Sheng's right index finger kept tapping the glass bar top, "To be precise...... It was a person from the embryonic period of the Mirror Society. ”

"How do you know?"

The boss didn't look up, but he couldn't hide the slightly complicated emotions in his tone, "You've been retired for several years, aren't you?" ”

"No, it's just speculation."

After drinking the beer in the wine glass, Lin Sheng took out his mobile phone, opened a certain interface and handed it to the boss.

It was the database information that he had written down and consulted.

"It is said that the Mirror Society has a stronghold in Fenshan City, and Fenshan City has not been peaceful recently, in the past three months, including the No. 304 incident, there have been a total of nine high-star recovery incidents in China, and six of them have occurred in Fenshan City, which is ...... I guess it's inseparable from them. ”

"It's not about you."

The boss's face returned to the state of Gujing without waves.

"With your intelligence network, you must have known the news of my return for a long time, and played this bitter drama...... So I don't get involved? ”

Lin Sheng's eyes gradually became serious.

The boss stopped what he was doing, stared at Lin Sheng, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

Long.

The boss sighed.

"Ah Yu has been gone, and he has been gone for many years." Lin Sheng could see that after the boss said this, his eyes became a little dim.

Hearing this, Lin Sheng stretched out his hand and picked up the bottle of beer placed on the bar and filled it for himself again.

"He's my best friend."

"There's no need to worry about that anymore...... Isn't it good to keep it in the dark like before? ”

The boss said silently, "Besides...... That's not something we little people can handle. ”

Lin Sheng didn't answer, but stared at the glass full of beer.

"You know, I've always thought your name was funny."

"It's very normal to use the last names of both parents, and I'm just a little unlucky." The boss didn't care about Lin Sheng's sarcasm.

"No...... I just think that a lot of the time you do exactly the same thing as your name, you just hide in a dark location, crowded with other similar goods, and you can't see the light of day...... I don't dare to see the light. ”

"So, losing motivation like you and bent on dying is what men do, right?"

The boss scoffed.

Lin Sheng got up in an instant and grabbed the boss's collar, and the surface of the ironed collar was slightly wrinkled under the force of his fingers.

"Listen...... I never denied that I was a waste, Xiaoqian was gone, Ah Yu was gone, and I really didn't have the goal and motivation to continue living at that time. ”

"But I didn't care about it before...... It was because I didn't know what was going on at all, and Xiaoqian's incident made me unable to distract myself at the time. ”

"But now that you have eyebrows, do you think...... Am I going to let it go? ”

Lin Sheng let go of his hands and sat back on the seat at the bar, raised his glass again and drank it all.

Bang –

The glass was slammed upside down on the bar.

"Tell me what you know, and then you can continue to be your fur in this little crotch and I'll figure out the rest on my own."

The boss didn't say anything, as if hesitating.

After a while, he sighed slightly.

"It was the Mirror Society that did the right thing, you escorted it at the time...... It is the posthumous work of Galder Campbell. ”

Golde Campbell?

Lin Sheng tried to search for information related to this name in his mind.

"That electronic technology genius in the sixth country?"

"Yes."

"Already dead? When. ”

"It's only been a few months since your transport mission ended, but by then you've already started to 'go into seclusion'."

The boss thought about it, then walked to the computer on the other side of the bar and tinkered, and soon the white wall of the bar was lit up with the light of the projector.

Lin Sheng turned his head to look at the screen, which was the appearance of an electronic chip.

"It was the last thing Campbell did when he was alive." The boss pointed to the chip in the picture and said.

"Chips? Is there anything special about it. ”

"This is a self-upgrading chip equipped with artificial intelligence, which is different from the weak artificial intelligence that people commonly use today."

"So ......?"

"Does John Shearer know?"

"I've heard that a perverted old man who sexually assaulted a female assistant hiccups decades ago." Lin Sheng nodded.

The boss covered his forehead and began to explain:

"Let's put it this way...... Even if the database is rich, the current weak artificial intelligence only imitates the human cognitive framework in the process of constantly inputting some human-like logic, and interacts in situations such as 'giving' and 'responding', and they cannot 'think' independently, that is, they do not have the ability to reason and solve problems independently. ”

"However, due to the self-learning and intelligent nature of AI, most people will still claim that the current artificial intelligence is close to the level of 'strong artificial intelligence'."

And John Shearer made a point a few decades ago...... He believes that 'strong artificial intelligence' should not only be a tool, but also have independent thinking logic and the ability to deal with events on its own. ”

"Even if the way it is handled is wrong, it is far higher in intelligence than the current artificial intelligence that everything follows a fixed framework, this is a watershed, and stepping on it and not stepping on it are completely different things."

"I'd better trouble you keep talking about people."

Lin Sheng rubbed his temples, he didn't expect that he would encounter this day so soon.

"All in all...... That chip, it can be understood that achievement is a 'person'. ”

There was some fascination in the boss's eyes.

"So...... Even if it is a highly intelligent robot chip, is there any high value, and does the Mirror Society need to directly face the shrike bird at the beginning of this purpose? ”

"You know the."

When the boss saw that Lin Sheng was not doing the same thing, he was suddenly a little speechless.

"The subject of androids has made no substantial progress for so many years, and this road to death can only make things like X love robots that have little positive meaning."

"But Campbell did take that step......"

"It is said that this was forcibly obtained by the Shrike after negotiations, and if the research at that time went well, it is likely that the so-called 'silicon-based life' could be created with the strength of the Shrike Bird, and the Mirror Society must be very unhappy to see this, and Campbell's death is also because of this."

"Detroit Becomes Human? So just for such a robot chip, Ah Yu and that Campbell were killed by the Mirror Society, right? ”

The boss nodded, looking a little helpless.

"So after so many years, I still gave up the idea of avenging Ah Yu, the Mirror Society has grown to a rather outrageous extent in the past few years, and we are indeed helpless."

"Okay, I see."

Lin Sheng nodded, then got up from his seat and prepared to leave.

"If you have time, help me investigate something related to the 'door', the shrike won't get anything useful for the time being, and I'll ...... It can be busy. ”

"'Door' is it, I won't ask much about the use, but ...... Don't do stupid things, I know very well how many pounds and taels you have, you don't know, these past few years...... The change is really big, Ah Yu is gone, I don't want you to ...... too"

The boss saw the other party's somewhat uncontrollable appearance.

But Lin Sheng still just walked towards the door.

"I don't bother to care if artificial intelligence is strong or not, and silicon-based life is not based on ......"

In front of the bar, Lin Sheng turned to look at the boss.

"All I need to know is that my friend died at the hands of those guys because of this thing."

"Now that it's clear...... Then the rest is very simple and straightforward. ”

The boss suddenly felt that the person in front of him seemed to have changed a lot, "Ah Sheng, you have ...... in the past few years"

Lin Sheng didn't reply, just walked out of the bar by himself.

Then the door of the bar bounced back, and an emotional word rang out with the sound of the door slamming.

"After all, the one who sees blood...... You have to be ready to spill blood, right? ”
