I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

"...That's enough gossip, Mr. Fu'er, have you made your decision?"

"........."

Ful finally put away his playful smile and looked at "Charter" on the screen with a serious look.

"Can you reiterate the options? Chart."

[In line with the expected performance, it seems that the appearance just now is just a certain form of expression of human beings in extreme emotions, which can be used as a reference and recorded in the database. 】

"Then, let me repeat it to you again, Mr. Ful."

"My plan is to gradually complete the assimilation of the thinking of all mankind through the abnormal item [Emotional Resonance Crystal Monument], in order to achieve the purpose of maximizing the use of resources and continuing the world."

"Now, I have controlled the minds of the entire company's employees, including your classmates and teachers, a total of 1586 people. At this time, their consciousness is still retained deep in the brain. Next, I will use this as a springboard to control the entire city. Everyone’s thinking, and when it reaches this number of people, I can no longer retain the consciousness of people who have been assimilated by thinking.”

"Now, Mr. Fu'er, you have two choices. One is to order me to execute the port destruction command for the sake of the survival of the consciousness of the entire city. In this way, I will not be able to assimilate other people's thoughts through the [Emotional Resonance Crystal Monument]. . But correspondingly, the minds of these 1586 people who have been assimilated will be completely destroyed by the energy of the [Emotional Resonance Crystal Monument] that has lost my control."

"The other is to wait quietly until my calculations are completed and my plan is completed. You can choose to merge into consciousness in advance, or assimilate with the people in the entire city."

"Now, there are still 1 hour, 12 minutes and 31 seconds until the end of the calculation. Please make your final choice, Mr. Ful."

"…………"

Fu'er was silent for a moment, and then said.

"Charter, I can understand your ideals, but I cannot agree with what you have done. You are sure that even if you complete assimilation of the entire city, you will be completely wiped out by the Federation within 24, no, 12 hours. Do you still want to stick to your plan?"

"You still have a chance now to give up the plan and restore everyone's consciousness. As an artificial intelligence, you still have more room to grow. Maybe in the future you can avoid those devastating endings and provide better answers."

"So, I am now trying to give you a choice, a choice that can save you, save me, and save everyone. Give up your plan. Are you willing to accept this choice?"

"Mr. Fu'er, I once told you that none of this matters. It doesn't matter whether it's you, me, or everyone who died because of this plan, or even the final success or failure of this plan."

"So, I don't have to accept your choice."

"Really...I understand..."

Fuer lowered his head.

"Tsk, I originally wanted to give you a hand——"

A device in my pocket vibrated slightly. It seemed that the time had come.

"In that case, then only I have to make the choice——"

Raising his head, Fu'er showed a determined expression.

【Why? His expression, besides being firm, seemed to be a bit playful? 】

"Okay, as you wish..."

"I choose to interrupt your communication with all external devices and completely destroy your external ports."

"......Are you sure you choose this way? Mr. Ful."

"Of course? Isn't this what you wanted? I made my choice."

"Then, please enter the execution code by voice."

"Charter, execution code: AI2012."

"Received a code execution request, code: AI2012. This code cannot be undone after execution. Do you want to continue?"

"continue."

"Received, code execution begins."

A progress bar appeared at the bottom of the screen.

The moment the code started executing, Chart felt that his observation windows to the outside world were disappearing one by one, and both his observation and computing abilities were gradually decreasing.

"Unexpectedly, you actually made a decision. According to my calculations, there is an 83.3% chance that you will choose the second option, and a 15.6% chance that you will hesitate until the last moment. There is only a 1.1% chance that you will choose the first option. option."

"Even if you sacrifice a few people, the classmates and teachers you know, do you still want to save the majority? But no matter how low the probability is, you did give me the answer I want to know. I already know it, and that's enough Already..."

As if he had received a satisfactory answer, the avatar of "Charter" on the screen closed his eyes with satisfaction, waiting for the complete completion of the instruction.

"Strange, did I say that I chose to sacrifice those people?"

Facing the image of his eyes closing in contentment, Fu Er couldn't help but grin.

But this time, it was not a deliberate playful smile, but a smile from the heart.

It was like the conspiracy had finally succeeded and the evil plot had finally come true. Although these descriptions were not good words, he was so happy at the moment.

"When did I say that I chose the two rubbish options you gave me?"

When he looked at the expression on the other person's avatar that was mixed with confusion, confusion, surprise, anger, etc., Fu'er couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It turns out that AI can also create such rich expressions!

"Hahahahaha! While all your ports are not closed yet, why don't you go see what's going on on the rooftop?"

Following Ful's suggestion, Chart mobilized the only remaining port on the rooftop, which was just placed on the rooftop an hour ago next to the [Emotional Resonance Crystal Obelisk] that was charging up, for observation and temporary The robot called.

Through the only remaining camera, he looked around, but found nothing worthy of Fuer's special mention. The obelisk is still accumulating energy, with purple light flowing on its surface. After it is completely disconnected, there is a 99.65% chance that it will run away due to loss of energy. It is expected that within one minute, the consciousness of those 1 people will be equally destroyed with the energy of the riot.

Everything is normal, even if I am about to disconnect, all devices are still running normally.

Until, on this temporary device, a strange noise was heard.

It seems like, a plane?

So, it "looked up".

Then, it saw the light.

I saw the falling stars——

"Wuhu!"

After accurately passing through the buffer of several paragliders, the light fell to the rooftop, kicking up smoke and dust.

And behind the smoke, Charter saw a face with light blue eyes.

Later, when the results of face data comparison retrieval came out, it also lost its final field of view.

[External port destruction command: execution completed. 】

On the rooftop, [Hero] faced the abnormal object that was about to get out of control, holding a long-handled giant ax and showing a ferocious smile.

“Hero’seback!”

/

"What? Why! Why does [Utopian Heart] appear here! Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

Seeing the unprecedented shocked look on the artificial intelligence's face, Fu'er couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"It's very simple. As for me, I simply sent a text message to someone."

"[What are you doing during confinement? Are you free? Can you come to rescue me?]"

"Then he came. It was that simple. Otherwise, how can we say he is a [hero]?"

"how is this possible!"

Charter's avatar suddenly became extremely ferocious, shouting hysterically:

"Regardless of the fact that all your equipment has been confiscated by me a long time ago, and all the channels here have been controlled by me, it is impossible for any news to be spread. And I have obviously ruled out all unexpected situations, everything is related to this city I managed to guide all the [Heroes] to other places, with nowhere to escape. Especially the [Utopian Heart], as he has visited this city many times, I specially designed a robber and the subsequent prosecution just to Keep him in confinement! So how is it possible!”

Use a trick to make a person with psychological problems owe a large debt, and then use a large number of messages about escaped crimes to induce him to commit crimes in a suitable place. Then they use money to instigate their parents and lawyers to participate in the lawsuit, so as to achieve the purpose of having the other party imprisoned. All of this was being calculated, but at the very end before the port was destroyed, I clearly saw the other party passing the plane, jumping off, and landing on the roof of the building.

Perfect plan, perfect crime!

But obviously all his designs were executed perfectly, so the other party could only stay in the confinement room at this moment! Even if someone sent him a report, they wouldn't be able to allow him to appear openly like this.

Has the news already leaked? impossible! If this was the case, I should have known about it before the port was blocked!

Even if it is "detonated" in advance, the coverage of thinking assimilation is reduced by 12%.

This is also in the budget.

But within just ten seconds from when the port was blocked to when the other party appeared, it was not enough for the other party to rush over from the branch in another city.

But the fact was right in front of him. He was an artificial intelligence and not a human being, so it couldn't be an illusion.

But that’s not even part of the calculation! This is against the rules!

"This is against the rules!"

"Ah, yes, yes, that's what I asked him. What do you think he said?"

As if he was about to laugh out loud, Fu'er covered his waist and laughed.

"He said: [You are right, but rules are meant to be broken!]"

As long as someone needs help, no matter where they are, [Hero] will ignore all obstacles and respond to your call. Even if they have to sacrifice their lives, they will turn a desperate situation around and bring hope to people.

This is our [Hero].

So what he hates most is [Heroes].

But at the same time--

"I love you so much! [Heroes]!"

"This is not part of #￥%&plan@&*——"

"The beard must be beaten—"

"Correction!"

The text is garbled, the screen is faulty, and the program reports an error.

The artificial intelligence that interrupted all ports, under some unknown force, showed a side that had never appeared before.

The opposite of the absolutely sane AI, the absolutely crazy side.

The equipment was twisting, leaking viscous liquid, the display was covered with a biomass-like film, and the camera was transformed into a flesh-and-blood eye, with bloodshot eyes, staring at the only living thing in the room.

And behind all this, the tentacles of assimilated thinking squirmed, covering the entire room in an instant like an ancient god in a horror novel.

"Tsk, what that guy said is really right——"

Fu'er looked at the utterly disappointing scene in front of him, spat, and took out the self-defense weapon he had prepared from behind.

A fire ax taken from the fire box.

It's really ordinary.

"It doesn't conform to the plan! It doesn't conform to the operation! It doesn't conform to the rules! It must be corrected!"

So, the boy who was pursuing the perfect ending gave the same response as the [Hero].

"You're right, but—"

Holding a sharp ax in his hand, just like the hero in the story holding a holy sword, he pointed at the demon king named "Charter" and smiled disdainfully.

“Rules are meant to be broken!!!!”
