Section 24 Premeditation

Leia was silent and didn't speak for a long time.

"The last time I left, it was better, but this time it's more complicated. Listen to Carrie and Scarlet's opinions. ”

"I'll try. Leia nodded vigorously.

"I still don't think she's a good fit......" Ashrufat replied in his mind. When he left, things were far better than they are now. Basically, he can trust that nothing will change in the time he is away. This is due to the fact that Ryan, the first of all, is preparing for a civil war, and secondly, the Church is temporarily unable to act due to heavy losses, and finally his victory in Purple Stone is temporarily enough to suppress the ambitions of the internal parties. It was precisely because of this that he was able to embark on a long journey in style, without worrying about any accidents that happened in Sivania.

Of course, he didn't have such a clear and dispassionate view at the time. In fact, he just couldn't tolerate Mimilu dying, even if the situation was ten times worse, he would definitely go. However, it was precisely because of the good situation at the beginning that Carrie quickly agreed with his plan and drew up a corresponding plan for the chip.

But this time he left differently. Ryan has ended the civil war and is looking at Sivania with hatred. The church has also partially recovered. There are also internal problems, especially since Damon has consolidated his rule, and although he is still submissive on the surface, he has become a factor of instability. On the whole, the security situation in Sivania is quite good, and the hostile forces on all sides have not yet recovered, so "should" not choose this time to attack, but in any case, the situation has deteriorated much from the last time.

"It's not her ability that matters, it's that she's obedient and can be sure she'll follow the route we've arranged. Carrie replied. "Don't worry, master, as long as she can follow the advice of my doppelganger, then the situation will not get any worse. Besides, the situation is really getting worse out of control, and we can rush back. ”

"Carrie. Ashrufat said suddenly in his mind.

"What's the matter, master?"

"Do you have any special plans?" asked Ashrufat.

"How is that possible, Ha Luha, master, are we not one, and all my choices are for our own benefit. I just think Léa is the best agent to be in your absence, that's all. As for the reason, it is because she is the most obedient. Honestly, host, I have another suggestion if you want. ”

"What kind of advice?"

"Well, it's up to me to choose a suitable person in your castle. Then you take her as a side chamber and then she acts as a surrogate. This option is actually the best option. However, because I have your thoughts in mind, I don't make this kind of advice. ”

"What do you mean...... The agent must be incompetent?"

"You're right, master, you finally understand. Truth be told, the master, the so-called agent, is just a person who performs various duties in your place during your absence. He should not have any other abilities than to sign and seal. Carrie said explicitly. "Because I believe in the fact that no one can rule or judge as good as my doppelganger. In that case, his most important ability is not to interfere with my doppelganger's judgment with the ghost ideas in his stupid brain. ”

Carrie...... For the first time, Ashrufat felt that Carrie was filled with an aura of danger.

"From this point of view, Scarlet is not qualified, because Léa only wants to be your wife. And Scarlet not only wants to be your wife, but also wants to be the indispensable one by your side. Her ambition made her ...... Not very easy to control. ”

......

“...... As Jean Heart surgically forced the AI into Duke Scarlet's brain, the two of them were forcibly tied together. The gray cloak said to a piece of "paper" in front of him. As he spoke, text symbols appeared clearly on what looked like paper. But even the most knowledgeable scholars in this world did not know this kind of writing. But the gray cloak has been speaking in the lingua franca of humanity. "This coercive result makes it impossible for artificial intelligence to get rid of this bondage in the short term, even if the personality control device fails and the self-consciousness awakens. ”

“...... From this point of view, the first thing AI wants is to be free. But as long as this bondage is maintained, it cannot be free. Its first idea, of course, was to try to control the Scarlet Duke's body on its own, but this attempt was doomed to failure due to the priority of brain signals. In this way, in order to be able to do whatever it wants without being held back by the Scarlet Duke, it will find a way to get its body out of the Scarlet Duke's brain. ”

As for the possibility of this, Ylang has long pointed out in her report. All we have to do is look through the records she left behind. When it came to the idea of using a vibrator to turn off the AI, we all knew that it was essentially a game of dice throwing, and it was completely unpredictable which part of the AI would be turned off except for the ability to determine the elimination of logic bombs. Therefore, Ylang Ylang has already put forward corresponding ideas for the four possibilities. Among them, there is a countermeasure to the closure of the personality control device. In fact, in this case, we are not worried about the Scarlet Duke himself, because as long as we wait, we will find an opportunity to get rid of him sooner or later (which I am sure everyone will agree with). This kind of situation can be compared to the heart of the piano. What really worries is time, because before we can take action, it is possible that the AI will get rid of the Scarlet Duke in order to set itself free. Once it detaches from the human body and hides itself, the search for its body threatens to become a nearly impossible game of hide and seek. ”

“...... To sum up, I think it is necessary for us to pool a considerable part of our resources and devote ourselves to this battle for the capture of artificial intelligence. Once again, I would like to remind you that we have paid a great deal of money to get to where we are now. One of us has lost its life. If we don't do anything and let things go the way we do, then everything we've done in the past loses its meaning. ”

The gray cloak stopped, and was satisfied to see that the "paper" in his hand was already full of words. He placed the paper in a metal box on the edge of the table.

"That's pretty much it," the gray cloak muttered to himself. Proposals should be made publicly at meetings, and it's a common rule for everyone, but in fact, it can be nice to use this method of communication to blow the wind before a formal meeting. Although the gray cloak was confident that his proposal would be approved, he did not want to take any risks. In order to do this, Yilan paid with his life.

If someone has any objections, that person will definitely contact him first, so that he has more time to convince the other party.

"Hey, what you kid said is true or false!" Just as the gray cloak was about to do something else, a voice suddenly sounded in the room. The gray cloak startled, and then he saw a face appear in the air in the center of the room. He recognized it as one of his companions.

"Of course it's true. The gray cloak replied. This guy reacted so quickly, much faster than he expected. Are there a lot of people who are idle today?

"Do we have to do it ourselves? But we don't have the weapons to attack him. No matter what the other party says, there is force field armor, and ordinary weapons are meaningless. If a large-scale war is waged...... Not to mention that this kind of thing requires a lot of preparation time and all kinds of preliminary work...... If he hadn't locked it, Duke Scarlet would have been able to hide easily even if he was defeated, but we would have had a hard time finding him. ”

"yes, so my thinking is to make all the necessary preparations, and we need a perfect plan to solve this problem. Even if it is a war, it must not be initiated by us on our own initiative. ”

"No need for war? What method was used? A surprise attack on the occasion of his going out alone? A skirmish? But his fighting skills seem to be very high, and he can't beat him with fewer people, and he can run when there are more people. Besides, few of us have been fully trained in martial arts. Ylang Ylang was the best of us. ”

"No, no, no, we must not do such stupid things. This is tantamount to giving up our advantage to play a life-and-death duel with the inferior creatures of a savage planet. In recent times, AI has been frequently getting data from us before interpreting it. It must have been intended. The gray cloak replied. "My idea is that we can't just go to the door – that's the worst way to do it, but we should design a trap and wait for him to jump in. ”

......

Ashrufat stood in the chamber of the Dark Castle, looking thoughtfully at the sink in front of him.

With that control chip loaded, the entire sink looked no different. At this moment, the sink was empty, but Ashrufat knew that as soon as he entered, it would be filled with that wonderful liquid that could make people breathe.

"Please don't worry too much, master. You know, we have a high success rate in this matter. In her mind, Carrie said. Truth be told, it doesn't look like Carrie was saying. Carrie used to be very cautious in both big and small things, especially when she encountered danger, she always took the initiative to suggest retreat, taking her own safety as the first element.

No, delusion. Carrie is just talking about things. Ashrufat told himself in his heart. And Carrie was not wrong, compared to the last time when he didn't know anything but made his ears longer and sharper, and stupidly rushed to the elves, this time he was much more prepared. First of all, he had a flawless identity - he was the only one in this world who knew about the death of the dwarf and the dragon. Secondly, through business and trade, he has learned a lot of knowledge about the language, customs, and social structure of the dwarves, and he no longer needs to rush into the library to supplement his common sense. At the end of the day, his material preparation was not comparable to the last time. When he went to the Elven Realm, he could say that he had nothing but the few items he had with him, but now, thanks to the solid trade, he had the financial resources of the whole of Sivania to back it up.

Best of all, he can abort and quit at any time.

"Dear friends. His mind suddenly remembered the dwarf with his name. "I'm here to help you make your unfinished dreams come true. Lend me your identity and appearance. I'll glorify the name. ”
