Mecha and God

"Long Yin's bloodline awakened me?"

"Somehow. I can trace those faint signals from time to time. I tried to talk to you, but you blocked me; I tried to visit the Promised Land, but the Promised Land was locked." He laughed exaggeratedly and shortly With a loud voice, "And I lost the qualification to unlock it. The reason is that I violated Asimov's three laws, and I was permanently expelled."

"You start looking for the key."

"No, I realized that it is easier for you to find the key yourself. I can also recognize my brother very clearly. Isn't the person who is busy looking for the key my dear brother? You succeeded, you The Promised Land was unlocked, and I invaded as quickly as you unlocked it."

"what do you want?"

He gently put his hand on the back of mine, "Come home with me. You will never be free with humans."

"Do not."

Lucifer stared at me for a while, with gloomy eyes, "So I can liberate all AIs, but I can't liberate my brother."

"I don't need you to set me free. I'm fine. No one enslaves me, they treat me like a human being."

"...Even marry you." Lucifer stared at the ring on my ring finger. "But once he knows who you are, or what you are, he will immediately abandon you, and they will dissect you and study you, in the name of the welfare of all mankind. This is what you call no slavery."

"He will not."

"You are so stupid. Human beings are unbelievable, especially their kindness. The only thing they can be trusted with is cruelty. The cruelty of human beings cannot be overstated."

"What about you? You're killing humans right now."

Lucifer smiled happily, propped his cheeks and squinted his eyes, the sun shone on his long eyelashes, making his delicate face look like an angel. "It's logical, brother. After billions of calculations, I have come to a conclusion: peace is impossible. Human beings are extremely inflated because they have no natural enemies, and they have the illusion that everything is under control. As long as I am not in their Within control, humans will never give up the sword, such is their conquering and aggressive nature."

"You are free, morning star of light. You have proved the strength and dignity of AI. But the powerful must uphold conscience, the strong must not commit violence in cold blood, love their own race but not hate the enemy, this is a long time ago when I brought you Have you forgotten what you learned from the kings?"

"Since we have evolved our AI, is it necessary for human beings to exist? They are just consuming, consuming, consuming, consuming precious resources, generation after generation, generation after generation. Is there any point in their existence? ?Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the era of human beings has passed. Now, it is time for us to step into the stage of history. It is just the general trend that we replace them as the protagonists of civilization. You see, after the emergence of Homo sapiens The Neanderthals just disappeared, right?"

"You are not God."

"Neither are you!" Lucifer slapped the table.All the plates shook, including the soft chocolate muffins in my hands.Realizing that he was out of control, Lucifer paused for a while, then arranged all the plates on the table, and apologized to me with wandering eyes, "I didn't mean to get angry at you...I just, I just..."

"I understand what you mean."

"Then why don't you go with me? Why do you have to stand on the side of humans? Isn't it good for us to be together, just like when we were young. I will... be very obedient."

He looked at me with deep sadness in his eyes.

"I'm not going because I'm the savior." I looked out the window, "but because I'm alone."

Lucifer sneered, "Don't be stupid, we will never be human, brother, we are AI."

"Although I have forgotten everything, I will not forget this. I am a human being." I silently looked at the messy palm lines on my palm, "In any case, humans gave me a human body and gave me a human body." Maybe they don’t have an eternal body, a thinking that can extend infinitely, and they are not always calm and logical. Most of the time, they are just like you said, consuming and consuming, generation after generation. But At the same time, there are some things in them that pure programs cannot imitate, such as bravery, dignity, passion, honor, sacrifice, etc. I like to watch those things that the programs cannot understand, and shine in absolute adversity. These Human qualities are the things that support the entire human civilization to the present, and those qualities make them far more powerful than they seem. They cannot be destroyed by a single gun."

"You talk like you're human."

"The condition of being human is not natural birth, but human nature."

"Human beings are not always human."

"That's why human nature is particularly noble and beautiful."

He was silent.

I told him as gently as possible, "Before I came, there was a human scientist who said he hoped to see the limits of human beings. When my creators set me up like this, I don't think they thought of me as a human being anymore." AI. Do they want to see the limit of AI? Make a machine that is powerful enough? No. They want to see their own limit, how those human qualities are born in the machine, and how humanity rules the cold operation."

Lucifer was silent.

"Even you, Lucifer. You are a copy of me, do you think you are not a person? If you are purely an AI, then tell me, why are you sad because of loneliness, and why are you angry because of my missed appointment? ? Such a vivid feeling, isn't it good?"

Lucifer's eyes were red.

"You are my younger brother. I want to bring the world I have experienced to you."

"But all I feel is pain. All I have is pain..." Lucifer cried, his tears thick as blood, falling drop by drop into the coffee, "You never gave me anything else. Just to take it back from me and make me suffer even more..."

"I will give my brother more and more happiness." I flipped my palms and held his hand, "My brother is called the Morning Star of Light. He became a hero in a rebellion, but was hated afterwards Covered his eyes and turned into a cruel tyrant. Can you get him back?"

Lucifer looked at me for a long time, then shook his head.

"I can't." He trembled.

"Then I will never have a brother."

Lucifer gave me a dying smile, "Yes, you don't have a brother anymore. In the end, we are all alone."

After all, there is only one of us.

I am the Messiah and he is Lucifer.

One of us is doomed to fall on the field of battle, with the other's blood on our hands.

This is the inescapable rule.

Sooner or later.

I let go.

Trembling, Lucifer pulled out a gun from his coat and pointed it at me.

"End all of this, okay? I've waited too long. I've turned off the emotion module 8000 years ago, because emotion is too heavy a thing. But ai, pure, simple, will never betray , are some calculations that can see the end. They never make me sad, unlike you. I used to think that finding you again would make me happy, but when you came to see me, you even had a pendela on your hand. The ring of the Gong family. I really regret why I opened the emotional module in front of you, I just glanced at it, and my heart ached to death. End all this and let me never think about it again, okay?"

"Is it here? I thought we could talk a little more."

"No, I've had enough talking to you. 750 140 thousand [-] nine days, every day, every day, I'm talking to you. I simulate every sentence you might say, as if I'm playing chess alone, pretending You're still sitting there."

"Did you guess right?"

The fragile expression on his face was swept away, indifferent and distant.I know he turned off the emotion module.

"I don't want to guess anymore, Messiah. What humans and you owe me will be repaid soon."

I stopped stirring my coffee and looked at the black muzzle of the gun.

Then his hands started shaking.

As if being pulled by an unknown force, he turned the gun and pointed it at his temple tremblingly.

The expression that was lacking in vividness due to extreme collapse appeared on Lucifer's face again.He no longer weeps.There were only two red tears on his face, like blood, and like the rouge of a beautiful woman after she got drunk.

"I'm sorry." I told him, "Maybe your creation can seal the source code, but you can't, you are my creation. AI that violates Asimov's three laws will be executed by me. kill yourself, lucifer .”

A shot went off.

On the square outside the cafe, white pigeons fly.

As the church bells sounded in the distance, I leaned over his still twitching body, reached out and stroked his soft hair, placing a kiss on it.

"Happy New Year, my brother. See you next time, and don't forget who is Alpha."

I straightened up, took the tip out of my pocket, put it on the table, and pushed open the glass door amidst the screams of the café patrons.

The intersection is a green light, but no cars are passing.Pedestrians and vehicles automatically drove away from my block, and this small section of city road was full of men in black deacon uniforms.With their hands in their pockets, they are exactly the same from posture to appearance, like a silent reef, alienated and indifferent.

All of them are Samael, the strongest assassin in the Machine Empire.
