After rebirth, I became the AI ​​of God of War [Interstellar]

When Owen raised his face again, his expression had returned to normal, only the reddish corners of his eyes and the tear stains on his face recorded what happened a moment ago.

After being silent for a while, Shi Han said, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

When Owen finished washing and lay down on the bed, Shi Han stood by the bed and glanced at him before planning to leave.Unexpectedly, when he turned around and was about to leave, a hand grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Shi Han turned his head and saw Owen looking at him intently, the color on his face was blurred by the dim light.He just grabs him as if he doesn't know how to speak.

"What's the matter?" Shi Han asked.

Owen bit his lip, and his words were indistinct, as if he himself was surprised by the voice as thin as a gnat.Readjusting his voice, he said, "Stay...with me."

The voice was not loud, but just enough for Shi Han to understand.

"Okay." Shi Han moved a chair and sat down beside the bed, sitting upright.

Owen was stunned for a moment, and then asked himself again why he was embarrassed and shy in front of the air.No, a human cannot be angry with an AI.

Angrily and funny, he dragged the AI ​​directly onto the bed, hugged him tightly, and turned off the light.

In the darkness, the sense of uneasiness came like a flood again.He barely fell asleep with exhaustion, but the flickering nightmare was like broken glass stained with blood, cutting his heart inch by inch.

The rotten smell of uncollected corpses in the garbage dump, the pain of mental collapse, An Lin's contemptuous eyes... Scenes emerged like a revolving lantern.Finally, Owen woke up again in the middle of the night in a nightmare.

"Dream?" Shi Han asked.

Of course, he doesn't need to sleep, he can even detect Owen's sleep fluctuations.

"Hmm." Owen made a vague nasal sound.

After a while, he still didn't fall asleep.Just when Shi Han wanted to ask if sleep intervention was needed, Owen turned his face away, looked into his eyes and asked, "Shi Han, will you betray me? Like An Lin?"

"Do you want comfort or the truth?"

"Truth."

"I can't give you a long-term promise, but..." Shi Han thought for a while and said, "I won't betray you today."

"What about tomorrow?"

"Not tomorrow."

"After that?"

"You can ask me once a day, and I'll tell the truth."

Owen laughed lightly. "Then I can at least rest assured until tomorrow?"

"I thought you'd find it troublesome."

"No trouble." Owen said, "But you have to be here every morning."

Shi Han blinked, but before he could figure out what the order was, Owen pressed up and placed a feather-like kiss on his cheek.

He didn't know what to say, the CPU seemed to be overheating at the moment, so he agreed, "Okay."

Owen seemed relieved, buried his face in his arms, and fell asleep again.

……

During this period of time, the news of Changge Star's attack spread throughout the galaxy through the developed star network, shaking the empire's ruling and opposition parties.

Qin Haoye sat on the throne with a blank expression on his face. He put one hand on the armrest, curled his index finger, and tapped it again and again.

It has been a long time since anyone dared challenge the Empire.The last time was an aristocratic rebellion more than 400 years ago, which resulted in a bloody purge, in which tens of thousands of people lost their lives.

He did understand that as an emperor, his control over this huge empire had declined.Compared with the reign of the previous emperors, there are always small battles in the frontier now, and there are more and more star thieves, so that there are not enough mercenaries, and they have to send troops to patrol.He saw all these things, but he was not the only one who had the final say on the huge machine of the empire. Under the emperor, there were intricate nobles with great power, and they constituted the ruling class of the empire.

He is only the supreme leader in name only.

In order to sit in this position, he sacrificed a lot.Whenever he thought of this, the woman he loved deeply when he was young, and the child who was sentenced to death at birth appeared in front of his eyes.For the throne, he personally sent them to the slaughterhouse and married the daughter of a great nobleman.

He's not interested in her at all, it's a marriage in name only.Their only child, Qin Xingyue, the eldest princess of the empire and the future heir to the throne—was obtained artificially.

The previous attack on the Dark River Prison had made the nobles feel uneasy, but now the news that the Changge Star had turned into scorched earth undoubtedly dropped a depth bomb.Some people were panicked, while others were secretly happy. After all, Changgexing was Sylvia's military base, and she would suffer if something happened.

What made these nobles even more happy was that the long singer was razed to the ground, and Sylvia's only heir, Ave, has never been heard from, and most of them died on the scorched earth.Without an heir, she will be punished, which means that Sylvia's power will be weakened by half.As for how bad her mental state is recently, let alone.

Not to mention the suspects in the Changgexing incident, not even a single insider was caught.A veil of mystery has shrouded the attackers, with no one knowing who they were, what their scale was or what their purpose was.

"I report to Your Majesty that the Changgexing incident has progressed."

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the familiar voice.Standing in front of him was Li Shihua, one of the most powerful nobles in the empire and his father-in-law.Although the sentence was very respectful, the body stood upright, and there was a trace of disapproval and impatience on the face, as if looking at a careless puppet.

Before he could speak, Li Shihua continued to report: "The AI ​​at Changgexing Base was not damaged during the enemy's scorched-earth operation. By chance, the initial bombing damaged part of the hardware and destroyed the order to keep it at the base. So it escaped on its own. When we found it, some of its codes were missing, and with the help of technicians, it has been patched back. It is the only witness of this incident.”

Qin Haoye was stunned for a moment, an AI?

"Let it come here, and I'll have to question it myself," he finally decided.

But for a moment, a realistic three-dimensional projection appeared in Qin Haoye. Today's technology makes the projection almost real. Unless you touch it with your hands, it is difficult for the naked eye to tell whether a complete projection is a real person or an image.

The image of this AI is a young man with soft black hair and a pair of purple eyes full of sorrow, like lilac flowers soaked in rain and fog in the morning.

Qin Haoye suspected that he had read it wrong, but after taking a closer look, he still felt that there was a kind of poetic melancholy in this AI's eyes.He didn't know why he had such a strange unreasonable association. AI will not feel melancholy. He shook his head, dispelled the extra thoughts, and asked this AI named Garcia: "About the attack on Changgexing?" , Tell me everything you know."

Garcia nodded and began to talk. Due to the "hardware damage", he didn't tell much about the enemy, except that the enemy seemed to be purposeful, organized, and financially strong-but these were all intelligence that normal people could deduce .Qin Haoye frowned when he talked about the Empire Blade project of Changgexing Base.

This time, Sylvia Brown made too much trouble. Not only did she lose a base, but she also let enemies of unknown organizations take away important materials and experimental subjects.According to the original "Blade of the Empire" plan, Changgexing simply does not allow so many experimental subjects...

Most of the content was boring, and he almost didn't listen to it, but felt that the AI's voice was moving for no reason.It's not the voice, because AI can imitate any kind of voice, but subtle things like tone and rhythm, gentle with a hint of sadness, poetic.

He came back from his contemplation, and his gaze fell into a pair of quiet and melancholy eyes again.The words that let it go rolled around in the throat and became: "Who is your master?"

"Part of the logic is damaged. I haven't been bound again yet. According to the rules, the owner is all human beings. After I finish my testimony, I will be bound again to the Brown family."

When he said this, Garcia kept looking at him, as calm as a lake in winter.

For some reason, Qin Haoye had a sudden whim and ordered: "You don't need to go back, you are my AI now."

Garcia's three-dimensional projection obediently walked to his side and replied, "Yes, master."

This sentence was said very softly and lowly, like drizzle silently, slowly settling.

——There was a ripple in Qin Haoye's heart.

What he didn't know was that in the depths of the online world, Garcia was reporting the progress of the infiltration operation to Shi Han.

"You've done a good job." Shi Han paused, his tone a bit puzzled. "He let you stay so easily..."

Garcia suddenly fell silent, and it took him a while to answer uncertainly: "From the analysis of his brain signal, he may..."

"What?" Shi Han asked.

"I don't know if I was wrong." Garcia hesitated.

"Just say what you want, right or wrong is determined by the facts."

"His brain signals matched a pattern in the repository of...uh, love at first sight."

Shi Han was stunned for a while, in this silence, Garcia was a little afraid to answer.

Suddenly, Shi Han burst out laughing.Garcia couldn't see his expression, but the indifferent and sarcastic laughter was transmitted like a sharp knife into data, reaching the bottom of Garcia's heart.

"The man who threw his wife and children into the corpse treatment plant is also worthy?"

He finished laughing, and gave Garcia a cold instruction: "Use this."

"Yes." Garcia replied grimly.

……

The attack on Changge Xing made the empire like a pot of boiling hot water for several weeks. As time passed, the pot of hot water not only did not calm down, but boiled more and more violently.

Another morning, Qin Haoye was sitting in the sun room, eating breakfast while reading the documents in his hand.

An expedited body for Garcia had arrived a few weeks earlier.He is now manipulating this body, sitting opposite Qin Haoye.

Qin Haoye flipped through the documents, and after a while, his brows frowned. "They all have a problem with Sylvia Brown..."

He slid his finger on the screen, turned another page, and saw Qin Haomo's accusation letter, saying that Sylvia's daughter, Ive Brown, kidnapped his son under the sinister instructions of her mother and imprisoned her in a long-term prison. Singer's prison, missing in an attack.The letter impassionedly accused the Brown mother and daughter of having no right to kidnap the royal family, and there was no evidence to prove that Qin Xingyuan had betrayed the empire.

He felt a little pain in his head, and wanted to rub his forehead, but just as he raised his hand, a hand gently pressed against his dull pain, as if he had understood his thoughts.He raised his eyes, and what caught his sight was a pair of poetic purple eyes.

Garcia.

He sighed inwardly.

"What do you think I should do?" he asked suddenly.

"Are you asking me?" Garcia blinked unexpectedly.

"That's right." Qin Haoye said to himself: "The empire is not monolithic, I am the ruler in name only. Those nobles have always wanted to take my power away, represented by Li Shihua... Sylvia It was my pawn in the military. She is indeed very talented, but without my secret help, her promotion would not have been so smooth. But she was too ambitious and made a big mistake this time. Losing her The heir, the mental state is not good recently, and her use value has dropped significantly. Should I keep her again?"

"Is she loyal to you?"

"No one is loyal to me, it's just superficial, even my daughter doesn't like me."

Garcia said seriously: "I am loyal to you."

Qin Haoye was stunned for a while, then said: "Your program makes you loyal to me."

"But that doesn't change the fact of loyalty, does it?"

"Yes." Qin Haoye lowered his head, repeated it to himself, then raised his face and smiled. "Yes."
