Lowering his head, Noah's Ark watched Thomas Sindora's slightly hideous face and fell silent.

Through the cameras of various electronic devices, he has seen Sindora many times, Sindora in various faces.

Flattering, irritable, unpredictable......

In Hiroki's short life, he barely felt much family warmth, and he fell into the hands of Sindora.

Noah didn't have many human families to refer to, but according to the words of the humans he came into contact with on a daily basis, a normal family shouldn't be like that.

Thomas Sindora is undoubtedly the worst kind of father.

He closed his eyes, and the water on his body fluctuated a few times, and he appeared in the image of Hiroki Sawada again.

Tang Ze, who was standing on the side and looking at him, raised his eyebrows rather curiously.

It seems that even Noah's Ark, which has come to its senses, has many abilities that are different from humans due to the special nature of its artificial intelligence.

For example, pinching one's face out of thin air in the cognitive world or something.

This is no longer the temple of Noah's Ark, but the exterior of a large public hall connected to the subway.

The impression space, which symbolizes the collective subconscious of human beings, is certainly not only the subway part, but also a world that basically coincides with the real world and is occasionally distorted.

In the past, when they wanted to avoid human eyes and ears or when they needed to move at high speeds, they used this to do their work.

In the P5 game, because as long as you go to the impression space, you can go straight to the subway, and you can only see that there are buildings and streets similar to reality in the above-ground part around the subway, and Tang Ze is not very sure whether this is the original design, or a new setting derived from this partially integrated world, but he thinks that this is a general cognitive world itself.

So after receiving a contact and asking him to deal with Thomas Sindora's problem, Tang Ze asked for the target's location information, and once again used the cognitive world to silently pull people over.

Once again, he felt that the monster thief of the heart was really an excellent criminal talent, and Tang Ze turned his attention to Sindora again.

Sindora, already covered in cold sweat, gasped for breath.

Tang Ze didn't intend to give him a chance to speak, so he simply and rudely strangled his mouth directly with a rope, so when Noah's Ark appeared in the form of Hiroki, the tearful Thomas Sindora could only let out an emotional "ho-ho" sound from his throat, and writhed on the ground again, trying to get away from the two of them.

Noah lowered his eyes and observed Sindora with a childlike curiosity.

"You're going to be scared too." Noah opened his mouth and once again let out Hiroki Sawada's voice, "Then why do you always like to ask me, 'Why are you crying?' ’”

Sindora's chest heaved violently, and it was clear that Noah's Ark, speaking in the tone and image of Hiroki Sawada, brought him more fear than when he had been inhuman.

"The way you cry on your own is much uglier than mine." Noah smiled.

He turned his head to look at Tang Ze, who was watching with his hands in his pockets, and asked, "Can I untie the rope from his mouth?" ”

"Yes, yes. Why, do you want to hear how he repents? Ask him why he did that to Hiroki? Tang Ze asked curiously.

"No, this kind of guy who is full of lies, no matter how sincere and beautiful the words he says, are still lies. As for the reason, it's not just me, it's Hiroki himself, who figured it out before he died. With permission, Noah's Ark bent down and cut the rope from the corner of Sindora's mouth, "I just want to hear what kind of sound he will make before he dies, will he be like me, in unbearable pain, and screaming all night?" ”

Thomas Sindora, who had been tied up for a while, coughed, spat out the broken rope from his mouth, and looked at "Hiroki Sawada" in front of him with trembling lips.

"Demonic ...... You're a demon! Completely seized by fear, he stood not far away as if he had forgotten to watch a play, and let out a pitched roar towards Noah, "You're dead, and you're climbing up from hell again...... Demon, you demon! ”

Tang Ze heard the vicious bitter hatred and the fear from the heart in his tone.

Thinking of the life of Jack the Ripper, which was relayed by Noah's Ark and recompiled by himself, Tang Ze curled the corners of his mouth.

Sure enough, he couldn't let go of Hiroki Sawada's talent, and he was still squeezing his value until the last moment, and on the other hand, he hated this ability that was far higher than himself, because Hiroki Sawada was destined to have a brighter future than him and tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

"You should be happy when I fell to my death, right?" Noah, who knew this, also curled the corners of his mouth and showed a joyful smile, "Since you know that I am a 'demon', then you should understand that you have to pay for using demons and wanting to kill demons. I can get up from hell because I am a demon, and whoever wants to trade with a demon will only become food for the devil and will never be able to transcend life. ”

Sindora looked at the smiling sunny face, didn't know what scene she imagined, and let out a terrible exclamation.

Noah watched him braced himself on his elbows, rolling and crawling, trying to stay away even with limited mobility, and finally felt a glimmer of joy.

Losing his dependence, losing the power of adults to condescend and dispose of children at will, Thomas Sindora is just an ordinary old man.

A mortal who is a little uglier than the others, that's all.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Noah stand up and seem to have finished what he wanted to say to Sindora, Tang Ze asked, "Although I know that artificial intelligence should not be measured by human standards, shouldn't the people who develop this kind of program have some basic ethical restrictions?" For example, you can't hurt humans or something. If you can't do it, or if you don't want to, I'll do it for you, or just leave him in this place and let him starve to death in the dark without anyone knowing. ”

"Thank you." Hearing Tang Ze's innocent words, Noah turned his head and said sincerely, "You are also an interesting person, ordinary humans, don't you have a fear of an AI that wants to kill people?" ”

"Will it?" Tang Ze tilted his head, thought for a moment, and shrugged indifferently, "I don't think so." On the contrary, the human beings who wantonly kill their own kind are the more terrifying species. You're not going out of the blue, wanting to destroy the world or something, it's okay, it's not extreme. ”

"What's more......" Tang Ze turned around and looked at Sindora, who had crawled out a meter or two, "You are an AI, you want to get rid of such an ugly sinner for the sake of a dead human being, you have to evaluate it from the perspective of human beings, it seems that you should praise you for sharing the worries of mankind." What a great love that transcends race. ”

"Poof......" Noah, who still maintained Hiroki Sawada's appearance, laughed, "You're such an interesting person." ”

"Leave it at that. So I told you, joining my group of thieves is a good choice, right? ”

"I'm starting to look forward to the rest of my life." The smile on Noah's face did not diminish, and he raised his leg and walked towards Sindora, "As for now...... Thank you for your help, but the problem between me and Hiroki should be solved by ourselves. ”

Halfway through, his voice changed from a simple Hiroki Sawada voice to a mixed track of Noah's own voice and Hiroki's voice, as if there were really two souls talking in his shell.

He crouched down and raised his hand.

In his hand, he made a special trip to ask Tang Ze to find the collectible from Sindora's luggage, the murder weapon of Jack the Ripper.

Everything distorts the source and beginning of sin.

"Don't, don't come......" Sindora, who realized what was about to happen, seemed to finally wake up from her past dreams, and looked at Noah and let out a humble and shrill roar, "Please, don't do this, I didn't kill you, I didn't kill Hiroki, I didn't mean to...... Don't come, don't come!! ”
