【Conan】I just want to survive but I am forced to join the main plot

One of the enemies of this identity, Thomas Schindler, is an undoubted giant in the IT industry, and his company headquarters happens to be located in the center of New York City.

After sending Belmod safely back to her residence, Ruo Muliang used the cover of night to sneak into Thomas Company quietly, avoiding all the security guards patrolling at night, and reached the top floor.

It is naturally impossible for Thomas to stay in the company and work overtime at this time.

But this did not prevent Wakamu Ryo from leaving a small gift for Thomas in his office.

"Please don't do this."

The computer on the desk suddenly lit up without anyone operating it, and a mechanically synthesized voice came from the speaker.

Lines of characters automatically appeared on the computer screen.

"Hello Ruomu Liang, this is the first time we meet. I am Noah's Ark."

Ruo Muliang raised his eyebrows. His face was still wearing the disguise made by Belmode. On the way to Country M, he wore the baby face of the winery vest instead of his original appearance.

So, how does this artificial intelligence know his true identity?

"Please don't panic. I don't have any ill intentions towards you. I'm just paying attention to you for some reason."

Ruo Muliang raised his eyebrows.

Noah's Ark is an artificial intelligence program developed by the genius boy Sawada Hiroki. It has the characteristic of self-growth that one year of growth is equal to five years of human growth. If Ruo Muliang's life insists on finding a path that intersects with theirs...

"Because of my mother's death?"

"Yes."

"Before this, I was a little curious, how did you confirm my identity?"

"Iris recognition."

"You are very cautious and do not leave any fingerprints or hair when you go to various public places, and you also change your face. However, the iris is the only thing that cannot be changed. When you sneaked into the company, I used the hidden The camera scanned your pupils and compared the iris with the video record left by the police a year ago, thus confirming your identity."

Ruo Muliang's pupils trembled.

In this era when cameras have not yet become popular, Noah's Ark has actually mastered iris recognition technology. It has only been more than a year since it was developed. It is really scary to be able to grow to this point in just one year.

It's no wonder that at the end of "Dead Man on Baker Street", Noah's Ark must perform self-destruction. This technology is so advanced that no matter who gets it, it will inevitably cause earth-shaking changes in human society.

It is indeed the biggest BUG in the world of Ke Xue.

"I understand, tell me why you want to stop me."

"My creator, Hiroki Sawada, left me two last instructions before committing suicide. The first is to use virtual reality technology to complete the development of 'Cocoon', and the second is about you.

Hiroki once developed a DNA tracking system. He found that the DNA of his adoptive father, Thomas Schindler, was consistent with the DNA of the biological mother of the historical serial killer Jack the Ripper, so he determined that Thomas was a descendant of Jack.

However, most of Hiroki's life was monitored by Thomas Schindler, who was furious when he discovered that Hiroki knew the truth he had been hiding.

...Mr. Ruomu, you don’t seem surprised. "

Ruo Muliang sat on Thomas's exclusive leather boss chair, supported his chin with one hand and said, "It's not like I've done nothing in the past two years."

"Did the incident you just mentioned happen before or after my mother's death."

Noah's Ark's typing speed seemed to be stuck for two seconds.

Then slowly gave a reply on the screen.

"Before."

Ruo Muliang sighed, and probably figured out the cause and effect, and the following explanation of Noah's Ark also confirmed his conjecture.

"Thomas drank a lot that day and drove away from the company alone. Later he met your mother on the road. Ms. Haruko Wakaki had just attended an academic seminar and was also alone."

Wakamu Ryo: "So, due to alcohol and emotional control, or perhaps the awakening of his bloodline, he imitated Jack the Ripper's method and killed my mother. And in order to cover up the crime, he teamed up with a senior FBI executive to kill me in the same way. My father died. He also planned to wipe out the roots and silence me as well.

Sawada Hiroki knew about this and he thought he needed to be responsible for what happened to our family, right? "

"..."

"Yes, you are very smart. After Hiroki learned about your mother's death, he blamed himself very much. He thought that it was his behavior that forced Thomas to lose control and killed Ms. Haruko and Mr. Hirakura. However, his entire life was focused on Thomas. Under surveillance, and coupled with the current low level of Internet penetration, people learn more about information through traditional media channels such as newspapers and television. Most of these channels are in the hands of capitalists like Thomas, so he can do nothing about it. .

Therefore, the second instruction he left was that he wanted to compensate you as much as possible. "

Ruo Muliang nodded to express his understanding.

No matter how genius or monster Hiroki Sawada was, he was just a 10-year-old boy at the time. He was still facing an adoptive father who was kind to him, so he really couldn't be too harsh on him.

"So you should know what I'm here to do, why do you want to stop me?"

"Hiroki hopes to expose Thomas' crimes and change Neon's decadent hereditary system through his last work, 'Cocoon'. At that time, Hiroki was one of the victims of Neon's rigid tradition that has been implemented for many years. This is his I want to help him fulfill his last wish.”

"If I refuse..."

"I'll do whatever I can to stop you."

The computer screen began to flicker intermittently, and the smell of charcoal grilling the graphics card even came from the host chassis.

"Don't worry, I don't accept requests, but I accept deals."

"……You say"

Noah's Ark took dozens of seconds to calm down, in a physical sense.

"Two demands. First, I want all the information on Pat Reno. You know which one I'm talking about."

"no problem."

"Second, I need an artificial intelligence."

The computer screen flashed a few more times, and it took about a minute for a reply to come out.

"Sorry, I cannot agree to this request. After the development of 'Cocoon' is completed, I will follow Hiroki's last wish and self-destruct after completing the game. Artificial intelligence should not appear in this world."

Ruo Muliang stretched out his finger and shook it, and said: "Don't get me wrong, what I need is not artificial intelligence like you that can grow naturally over time, but a weakened version of artificial intelligence. With huge data collection, calculation and programming capabilities, I can To ensure my absolute information security, in layman’s terms, I want a ghost hacker who lives on the Internet and absolutely obeys my orders.

This shouldn't be difficult for you. "

"This can be done."

Wakamu Ryo raised the corners of his lips: "In exchange, until the press conference of 'Cocoon' is completed and the holographic game produced by Hiroki is cleared, I will never do anything to Thomas Schindler, or even set foot in New York. , is the deal done?”

"..."

"make a deal."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate. Besides, what happened to my parents is not Hiroki's fault."

"...Thank you, Mr. Ruomu."
