Alexander stood in front of the cabinet, looked at the set of life organs inside, and said: "I haven't personally dealt with the follow-up of that incident, anyway, I received the news that the people from the Operations Department sent Chiyo Jingu to the operating table, removed all non-essential organs and tissues, and kept only the most basic life systems, as well as the nerves needed to perceive pain. ”

"Then, they put these pieces of meat, which can still be called 'Chiyo Jingu', into the life support chamber, and sealed them for more than ten years, during which they kept her alive and continuously stimulated by electricity."

"It's hard for me to evaluate what it's like to be in this state, but according to the data from the monitoring equipment, every time she is stimulated by the outside world, her nerves will give a signal feedback – which means that her consciousness is present and complete."

Looking at the pair of eyeballs suspended in the nutrient solution and connected to the brain through dense nerve connections, looking at himself motionlessly, Dong Dong couldn't help but feel a chill.

For more than ten years, day after day, night after night, soaked in this life support device, obviously losing his body, but his consciousness has always existed, and he can't survive without death, so he lives in the dark.

It can't even be said to be alive, as Alexander said, it's just "alive".

Alexander looked at the frowning Dong Dong with a meaningful smile on his face: "At that time, in order to save Su Mo's reputation, you insisted on going to Lucifer to seek revenge and offend the company to death, did you ever think that you were actually very close to this appearance?" ”

Dong Dong was silent for a long time, his brows suddenly relaxed, and he smiled briefly: "You don't think that my life is much better than this before the boss pulls me out of the quagmire on the border, right?" ”

Alexander was stunned, he didn't expect to hear such an answer, and he came back to his senses and let out a hearty laugh: "You are such a strange person, I am becoming more and more interested in you." ”

Dong Dong said lightly: "Uncle, give me a face, how about it?" ”

Alexander: "You say. ”

Knock Knock: "Destroy the contents of this vat and let her die." ”

Alexander's gaze became deeper: "Sure enough, it was Chiyo Kanna who asked you to come, after all, more than ten years have passed, and she is the only one who still cares about Chiyo Shrine." ”

"Young man, you are still too simple, you make a mess for others, and you don't even know if you are being used as a gunman."

"We have long told Chiyo Kanna that if she can make a place in the mercenary world and come to do a good job for Iron Will when the time comes, we will naturally reconcile with her."

"But her potential is there, being a tepid Seven Star is the limit, there is no way to climb up, the only chance to change her life against the sky is to hunt the Silent Death, and she didn't seize it."

"Now that she can't meet the conditions herself, don't you think it's ridiculous that she comes to you for help with a shy face?"

Dongdong said calmly: "Nothing funny, I only know that I owe her once, you just say that this thing will not be done." ”

Alexander: "Of course this can be done, but everything in the world has a price, and if you want to free Chiyo Shrine, what chips are you willing to pay me?" ”

Dong Dong snorted coldly, and said directly: "You know, I'm uneducated, a rotten boy on the street, I can't do this kind of thing back and forth in negotiation and negotiation, and I don't have anything to give you." ”

"If you want to talk about money, I have a lot of money, but that money is definitely not good for people of your status."

"If you want to talk about strength, I never think of myself as an ordinary man, but there must be masters in your building who are stronger than me, and you can command them with your fingers, and you don't need me."

"If you want to take a stand, I will only stay on the edge in my life, I will only be the leader, it is impossible for you to take refuge in the iron and blood, don't even think about it."

"So, I really don't have much to give you. If I have to say it, I will keep this favor in my heart, if one day you are down and can't afford to eat, I will give you a little bit of the bowl, probably that's it. ”

Alexander let out a hearty laugh after hearing this, shook his head and teased: "You have a very clear self-awareness, and you really don't know how to negotiate with people. ”

With that, he went to the console and entered the password, and then a metal column popped up in front of the life support compartment, on which a red button could be seen.

Alexander: "This red button is a high-voltage current control switch, as long as you press it, the fragile life organ in the maintenance warehouse will be destroyed, and Chiyo Jingu will be freed." ”

Knock Knock: "You agreed?" ”

Alexander said nonchalantly: "After more than ten years, if there is anything that needs to be repaid by Chiyo Shrine, it will be almost the same." ”

"The rest is like you said, sell your personal favor. The second master of the edge personally ran for such a trivial matter, and this bit of face still has to be given. ”

Knock didn't say anything, walked over and pressed the red button.

A violent blue light flashed in the life support chamber, and then quickly fell silent.

The organs in the chamber did not appear to have changed at all, but their activity had been completely destroyed by the strong electrical shock just now.

The existence of Chiyo Jingu is completely dead.

Although Dongdong is young, she has killed many people since she grew up, but at this time, she felt a sense of loss for no reason.

She doesn't know Chiyo Jingu and has no intersection with this person.

She also came this time to be entrusted by Chiyo Kanna, and she didn't do anything bad.

But when that burst of electricity instantly took away the life of Chiyo Jingu, and then thought of the reason why she was trapped here, Dongdong still felt that her heart was blocked.

After Chiyo Jingu's death, at Dongdong's request, the iron-blooded man cremated him and put his ashes in a wooden box.

Knock leaves the Tower of Babel, meets with Chiyo Kanna at the agreed place, and hands her the wooden box.

Chiyo Kanna took the wooden box with a trembling hand and held it in her arms helplessly, her lips trembling and tears rinsing down.

"She," Chiyo Kana muttered, her voice soft, as if she was afraid to hear something terrible, "Was she in pain when she died?"

Dongdong shook his head: "It's not painful, it's a momentary thing." ”

Chiyo Kanna closed her eyes and let the tears continue to well-up in her eyes: "What I haven't done after so many years of hard work, you can complete it in an hour."

Dongdong looked up at the sky, his gaze was very calm: "This world is like this, many things only depend on status, and it has nothing to do with whether Nu doesn't work hard." ”

"When I was a child on the border, I worked harder than anyone else to live, but I could only live like a dog."

"And now that I'm stronger and have a status, I basically have whatever I want, even if I don't ask for it, others will take the initiative to send it."

"But then again, hard work may not be useful, but it is a hope for yourself."

"If you are crushed by reality and are not even willing to work hard, you will really lose to this world."

A bitter arc appeared at the corner of Chiyo Kanna's lips, she didn't expect that she was actually preached by a junior who was twelve years younger.

She took a deep breath, cleaned up her mood, and bowed to Dongdong while holding the wooden box containing her sister's ashes: "Thank you, I will remember it." ”

In the history of the rapid development of science and technology, there is one technology that has never been avoided, that is, artificial intelligence, which is a series of advanced algorithms, including neural network processing, vector machines, decision trees and other mathematical principles.

In today's world, artificial intelligence technology has been widely used in the military and civilian fields, and the relevant model parameters are corrected through a large number of data samples to complete a series of instructions.

This type of AI is terminally referred to as "weak AI".

In many science fiction works, creators have fantasized about a "strong artificial intelligence", which also has supercomputer-like computing power, but compared with weak artificial intelligence, it still has a complete sense of self.

This kind of existence can often be seen in movies or games, obviously a robot made by humans, but it can think independently, has its own concept system, and even has all kinds of instincts like living creatures.

In these works, strong artificial intelligence is often dangerous, and its independent consciousness does not obey the creator humans, which will eventually lead to a rebellion that will spread throughout the world.

In fact, many historians and archaeologists in the world today have wondered whether the destruction of old civilizations was also due to the "AI rebellion".

They speculate that the old era may have given birth to the kind of "strong artificial intelligence" in science fiction, which for some reason came to the opposite side of humanity and eventually started a devastating war.

With the development of artificial intelligence technology in recent years, intelligent machinery has become more and more powerful, and this statement has been more widely supported.

Half of this guess is correct.

The kind of strong artificial intelligence that only appears in science fiction works was really born in the old era.

However, at that time, people had foreseen the huge risks brought by strong artificial intelligence, and strictly restricted it at multiple levels such as social application and legislation, and the possibility of "AI rebellion" had long been eliminated.

The Doomsday War was not caused by strong artificial intelligence, but in a sense, it was very similar.

At that time, a new life form had emerged in the world that had never been seen before, and this existence threatened the safety of the entire human population.

And that doomsday war was launched to completely destroy them.

In the end, humanity won, fighting for several generations and paying the price of an entire civilization, so that the human race can once again multiply in the vast world.

But more than 150 years later, people do not know that the kind of life that can challenge the status of the human population is not extinct, it is still sleeping deep in the earth of this world.

And one of the most powerful beings among them is 100,000 meters underground in Crescent City.

During this time, Su Mo would go to the Northern Industrial Development Zone almost every day and put detectors into the strata through the 10,000-meter-deep borehole in order to grasp the stratum in more detail.

On this day, Su Mo finished his work and drove the Black Ark to prepare for the return trip.

On the way back to the city, passing through the border area, the on-board defense system suddenly lit up to warn, indicating that an aircraft without safety identification was approaching.

The other party was very fast, and after a while, it was attached to the side of the black ark, and Su Mo could already see it with the naked eye.

It was a one-man flying machine, resembling a large skateboard made of metal throughout, with plasma sprayed at the bottom to allow people to fly through the air.

A heavily armed warrior stepped on the aircraft, and there was a badge engraved with the sickle logo on the side of his arm, which was the person of the "Death Scythe Mercenary Group" under the command of Zhou Hannian.

The Death Scythe mercenary was not very friendly, and flew with the Black Ark at a dangerous distance that was very prone to impact, gesturing to Su Mo to land.

Su Mo has been busy with his own affairs recently, and he hasn't paid much attention to the situation in the borderlands, and now he happens to meet the person from the Death Scythe, so he has landed.

After the Black Ark landed, the Death Scythe mercenary also stepped down from the solo flying machine, came to Su Mo's window and asked, "What are you doing?" Why are you flying around here? ”

Su Mo asked suspiciously: "The border airspace belongs to free airspace, why can't I fly?" ”

The Death Scythe mercenary said coldly, "I asked, and you answered." ”

These domineering words made Su Mo laugh: "Boy, you haven't been in the industry for long, you don't even know me?" ”

The Death Scythe mercenary thought he was bluffing and was about to scold, when a mercenary in the captain's uniform not far away looked at him and seemed to recognize the Black Ark, frowning and running over.

The captain peeked in from the window, and when he saw Su Mo, his face was suddenly full of helplessness, and he raised his hand to reward the mercenary with a violent shudder: "Are you really blind enough, and the car of the captain of the edge is also blocked?!" ”

The Death Scythe mercenary froze, the coldness on his face disappeared, and he covered his head and looked at Su Mo at a loss.

"What the hell to do, what to do." The captain pushed him away, then walked to the window and nodded to Su Mo, "I'm sorry, Captain Su, the newcomer doesn't have long eyes, don't be like him." ”

Su Mo pointed up, "You guys are?" ”

The captain explained, "You may not know, but this is a temporary assembly area for our team, and the airspace is under our martial law. The kid in charge of the patrol didn't recognize the Black Ark and stopped you. ”

Su Mo looked at the Death Scythe mercenaries who were packing up their equipment not far away, and said meaningfully: "It seems that the Death Scythe has suffered a lot of losses recently, and the newcomers have all been transferred over to carry out the mission, are you preparing to withdraw from the border?" ”

The captain said lightly: "Yes, there are a lot of information equipment on the wolf attack side, all of which are advanced and good, and if they continue to fight, they will become a bad battle, and it is not worth it." ”

Speaking of this, his gaze became deeper, and he looked directly at Su Mo: "You say, where did you get such good equipment in the hands of Wolf Raider?" ”

Su Mo shrugged his shoulders and said in a joking tone: "Maybe it's the magic of nature, the border areas have a unique ecological environment, and they all grow in the ground." ”

A hint of coldness flashed in the captain's eyes: "Hehe, you are really as humorous as rumored." It's better to grow in the ground, otherwise we will find out who is secretly supplying, and this account will be settled. ”

Su Mo restarted the engine and asked with a smile, "Is there anything else?" It's okay, I'll go first. You guys should hurry back, go home and hug your wife and children, isn't it much better than playing with the madman who is attacked by wolves here? ”

The captain didn't say anything, just silently let go of the hand that was pressing the car window, and watched the black ark fly into the sky. (End of chapter)
