I'm a god in the infinite game

After screaming, Fang Xiaoxiao seemed to realize that his emotions were out of control. He took two steps back, leaned against the wall and squatted down dizzily, stuffed two handfuls of pills into his mouth, and forced himself to swallow them mechanically.

After swallowing the pills for a while, Fang Xiaoxiao managed to calm down. He gasped and hugged his knees tightly. Hot tears rolled down his numb and frozen face unconsciously, muttering to himself: "They are not People, really not, I didn't eat people..."

As he talked, he couldn't help trembling all over, buried his face in his knees, choked up and cried bitterly, and apologized indistinctly:

"sorry Sorry……"

Bai Liu squatted down on one knee, and he handed Fang Xiaoxiao a soft cloth towel.

Fang Xiaoxiao took it silently and wiped away the tears on her face.

Bai Liu lowered her voice: "What kind of monsters are they?"

"...highly intelligent monsters." Fang Xiaoxiao stood up while supporting the wall, and replied hoarsely, "When they first appeared, we were all frightened, because they looked exactly like the dead team members at the observation station. I thought it was a ghost, but it was later discovered that it was an illegal biochemical product from the Edmond Observatory."

"They will take the initiative to imitate the most survivable creatures in the environment, and try to get close to us and learn our survival skills. This group of monsters may have observed us for a period of time and found that we showed great condolence and respect for the dead team members. Friendly, so I chose to change into this image to approach us..."

Fang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath: "They think that as long as they become the image we like, we will accept them, but it frightened the sentry at the base, who shot them dead and dragged them back to the base for research. "

"...During the research process, it shed its skin for the second time, and it became more human-like."

"It has a very strong learning ability. Through our few words and its own observation after entering the base, it better imitated the dead team member after the second molt. The speech, appearance, and habits have all reached the exact same level, except for part of the memory. It was missing, and it was almost like the dead team member had come back from the dead...it was so horrific that we killed it a second time with the knife."

Fang Xiaoxiao's eyelashes trembled, and tears fell on his own hand that was tightly clenched with the cloth towel: "...We found that no matter what method is used to kill them, because their cells are highly active, as long as one of them is not killed, It will autonomously dedifferentiate to form embryonic stem cells, and then differentiate into human beings."

"...Unless they burn their epidermis with fire to curb their tendency to differentiate, and then soak them in strong acid or alkali chemicals to completely kill these cells, but the observation station simply doesn't have so much fuel and chemicals to deal with them .”

"We had no choice at the beginning. Even if we knew their hazards, we didn't have the resources to deal with them. We could only cut them and freeze them in the ice crevasses so that they couldn't come out, but soon, soon..."

Fang Xiaoxiao's throat seemed to be pinched by a pair of invisible big hands. Although he opened his mouth, he couldn't make a sound, only tears streaming down his face.

Bai Liu took the words calmly: "But soon you discovered that fire plus strong acid corrosion, isn't this the process of human food cooking and digestion?"

"It just so happens that you are short of food. Eating it can completely eliminate these monsters. Why not do something that kills two birds with one stone, right?"

After being bitten by Bai Liu, Fang Xiaoxiao's eyes were empty, her chest heaved twice, she couldn't help retching, turned around, covered her mouth and ran away as if to escape: "Sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable, you guys should rest first. "

Bai Liu watched Fang Xiaoxiao go away, then turned and walked into the cabin, followed by Mu Sicheng and Tang Erda.

Tang Er locked the door with his backhand, and stuck to the door to listen outside for a while, then turned his head and reported to Bai Liu: "The sound insulation effect is not bad, and people's footsteps can't be heard at close range outside, I want to say What can be said directly."

Mu Sicheng just listened to Fang Xiaoxiao and Bai Liu's conversation, and now he is a little stupid, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at Bai Liu, with a chill on the back of his neck: "What the hell is going on? So this group of observation stations The people ate the monster?!"

"That's not necessarily true." Bai Liu leaned on the bed, propping his chin lazily with his hand, "The possibility of this observation station is still the same as I said before, here are people, or here are all anthropomorphic monsters, disguised To deceive us like this."

Mu Sicheng was very confused: "No, if they are monsters, why do they pretend to be like this to deceive us? What's the point? If they want to kill us, just do it. You heard it just now, this thing must be It is immortal to a certain extent, and can directly confront us!"

"Why do you take the initiative to tell us your weaknesses?"

Tang Erda nodded at the right time: "The weakness in my monster book was highlighted just now. What Fang Xiaoxiao said is true. Fire and chemical corrosion are the weakness of this monster."

Bai Liu smiled, and suddenly brought up a completely irrelevant topic: "Do you know the Turing test?"

Both Mu Sicheng and Tang Erda nodded.

Mu Sicheng was more impatient: "What does this have to do with the Turing test? Isn't it used to test whether AI has human intelligence?"

"There are similarities. The ai and the monsters here are man-made species. If you compare the species here to ai, how do you think the test is that the species here are fully human-intelligent?" Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng slowly, "Remember the famous assumption in the Turing test?"

Mu Sicheng suddenly realized something, and he shuddered and said: "——If these intelligent AIs really have human intelligence, will they adopt the method of deceiving human beings to pass the Turing test?"

"Assuming that the [people] here are all monsters, they try hard to imitate humans, and their intelligence has developed to the same level as the scientific research team members here, it is entirely possible for them to conduct Turing tests on themselves to test their own human beings. Whether the imitation show is qualified and whether it can fully integrate into us."

Bai Liu raised her eyes: "And we, a group of alien humans, are the best comparisons to test whether they can successfully deceive humans. What [Fang Xiaoxiao] said just now is just a simulation based on their understanding of humans. Convince us that they are human conditions."

Tang Erda remained silent, while Mu Sicheng curled his fingers and held the palm of his hand, his back felt chills intermittently.

"Of course." Bai Liu changed the subject again, and said slowly, "This is just my guess, and it is very possible that the people here are just people, and everything is just my delusion."

Tang Erda asked calmly: "Then how do you verify your idea?"

Bai Liu spread her hands and smiled lightly: "It's very simple, after they all fall asleep tonight, let's dig out the things in the ice crevasse and see if the [people] there can come back to life."

midnight.

The February sun in Antarctica lasts for a long time. When the sun disappears, it is already early morning. The personnel in the observation station have basically fallen asleep. There are only two sentries standing guard in front of the door, but you have to bypass these two sentries to go out It is also very simple.

The observatory adheres to the principle of strict entry and wide exit, and does not strictly control the going out of internal personnel. After all, in Antarctica, people will only take the initiative to run outside if they are desperate.

Bai Liu and the others got out from the back door of the garbage disposal in the kitchen on the second floor, then went around to the place where the helicopter was parked, and took out the drilling equipment inside.

Thanks to the bad weather in Antarctica, under the blessing of wind, snow and night, the visibility cannot exceed 30 meters. Bai Liu and the others took the equipment so blatantly, and the sentinels not far away did not see it.

Under the leadership of Tang Erda, a veteran, they put hundreds of kilograms of equipment on the sled and pulled it to the site they had previously explored more than ten kilometers away.

Mu Sicheng was out of breath and covered in hot sweat, but Bai Liu was fine, Tang Erda didn't let him do much, and he was responsible for most of the weight of the hundreds of kilograms of equipment.

Tang Erda's skin from his face to his collarbone was drenched in sweat, his tense muscles glowed with a sensual luster, his breathing was only slightly heavier, and he breathed very restrainedly.

Mu Sicheng, who was panting like a donkey, stared straight at him.

Depend on!Is Tang Erda Nima reincarnated as a sled dog? !Can pull things like this? !

Tang Erda didn't notice Mu Sicheng's jealous eyes. He put the equipment on the sled on the ice, and then, according to Bai Liu's arrangement, began to use the drilling equipment to drill holes where they had detected the figure before.

The hot pressure melted the ice layer by layer, and when it fell to a similar position, Bai Liu made a stop gesture, Tang Erda held down the instrument, lifted the ice core up, and pulled it out.

Trapped in the ice core was a thin and narrow human being. He had no limbs, so he looked extraordinarily petite. He could just be locked in the ice core by Bai Liu and the others and pulled up—this is why Bai Liu chose this location to drill the hole.

Trapped in an ice edge with a length of about 2m and a diameter of about 1m, or in other words, the "human" in the ice core has an extremely frightened expression, as if seeing something that can scare him to death, and the fractures of his limbs are neat and clean, like It was cut with a click by some sharp tool, and it hasn't rotted yet.

Bai Liu and the others brought fuel, burned hot water and watered the ice core over and over again, and the ice core began to melt slowly after a while.

"It's ice made from filled snow." Tang Erda definitely came to the conclusion, "Real ice won't melt so fast, nor will it be so clean and thorough."

Not long after, the ice melted, and the human body inside lay motionless on the ice.

When Mu Sicheng was too cold to hug him for the third time and wanted to go back, weak granulation suddenly grew on the limbs of this human pig, writhing like a worm, and soon joined together to form limbs .

The man slowly stood up and knelt in front of Bai Liu.

Obviously, the thing they dug up was a monster.

Tang Erda kicked the opponent away with a reaction speed invisible to the naked eye, and inserted the muzzle of the gun into the opponent's throat with his backhand. His expression was cold and stern, and he was about to shoot.

Bai Liu stopped him in time, walked in front of this man, and asked Tang Erda to pull the gun away. The man struggled to get up, and Mu Sicheng was startled when he opened his mouth.

"I am the real Fang Xiaoxiao." His voice was difficult, and as soon as he finished saying this, tears came down, and he kowtowed to Bai Liu, "The people buried below are the real personnel from the Taishan Observatory, please You save them!"

Bai Liu helped him up, and comforted him gently: "We will, please tell me what happened first."

"Have you seen the monster at the observation station?" Fang Xiaoxiao was supported by Bai Liu and sat on the sleigh.

Mu Sicheng boiled a cup of hot water for the shivering graduate student in meteorology, but Fang Xiaoxiao pushed him away with a wry smile: "Thank you, my body doesn't need to be warmed up now, I just have the human condition to deal with the cold." reflex, that's why you're trembling."

Bai Liu put the hot water on Fang Xiaoxiao's lap: "You have a human's reflex to the cold, so you are an ordinary person who needs to be warmed up. I think you really need such a cup of hot water. Take it."

This sentence somehow touched Fang Xiaoxiao, and his tears could not stop falling.

He looked at Bai Liu with tears in his eyes, finally took the cup of hot water, choked up and said: "Thank you, comrade, thank you for telling me, I am still a human being."

Fang Xiaoxiao drank a few sips of hot water, regained his strength, and then said: "A year and a half ago in August, we received instructions to store a very dangerous biochemical corpse on the Antarctic side. At first, the person in charge of Taishan Station did not agree, because according to the Antarctic Convention, no polluting research objects can be placed here.”

"But after many communications, the person in charge of Taishan Station finally agreed. Although we don't know what they communicated, the person in charge told us very sadly that the last piece of pure land in Antarctica will no longer be a pure land."

"In order to protect people outside and this world full of desires, this last piece of pure land is still polluted."

Fang Xiaoxiao exhaled deeply, and Bai Liu noticed that there was no heat in the air he exhaled, and no white air was formed.

"So we prepared to meet the plane that transported the body parts, but the plane had an accident while flying over the Ross Sea, and finally did not land near our observation station, but crashed near the Archibald Station on the south coast of Ross Island— —That is the observation post of country A."

"Although we went to search immediately, three boxes were still missing, and all five escorts on the plane died. In order to retrieve these three boxes, we kept calling and communicating with Archibald Station, and even I went directly to their person in charge that night."

"But soon they began not to answer our calls, closed their doors and refused to accept our visits, and our team members saw a helicopter flying from Archibald Station to Edmond Station in the early morning, suspected of secretly carrying Something passed, we suspect it was the three boxes."

Fang Xiaoxiao's teeth trembled, and she clenched her cup tightly: "The Edmond Station is another observation station of theirs. It is located near the South Pole. It is heavily guarded and difficult to approach. There are also many military equipment. The other party refused to answer our calls many times. In the end, we had to communicate by fax."

"The person in charge of the Edmond Observatory is Edmund Allen. He has been in Antarctica for more than 30 years and has always had a good relationship with us. He is willing to share a lot of research results with us. He is an old guy with an Antarctic spirit. He has made outstanding contributions to Antarctic meteorology and biological research, so the observatory will be named after him..."

"Professor Edmund once loosened under our persuasion, and wanted to secretly return the box to us, and bear all the faults himself..."

Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help shedding tears: "But neither the politics nor the military of country A allowed it. After discovering that Edmund had the tendency to do this, they brutally persecuted Professor Edmund and psychologically suppressed him. And experiments, and used some mind-controlling drugs on him, they drove Mr. Edmund crazy..."

He covered his face and burst into tears. The address he had been calling "professor" before became a more intimate "teacher" at this moment.

"This group of beasts killed a great person! They conducted biological experiments related to corpse parts on Mr. Edmund!!"

"They forced Mr. Edmund to go astray!"

"The teacher used these corpses to teach and breed these corpses in large quantities, and crossed their genes with the genes of extremely low organisms to breed predators that are more suitable for the Antarctic climate. Those who persecuted him were all buried. The men of these creatures..."

Fang Xiaoxiao seemed to think of extremely painful memories, he covered his head, and muttered to himself in a trance:

"But later on, everything got out of control. Those creatures began to develop human intelligence. They were educated and raised by Edmund. They had strong curiosity and exploration of scientific research and human beings. They began to imitate human beings' understanding of human beings. The things they do, they start exploring humans by recreating those brutal experiments on humans."

"And those of us who are stranded at the observation station are the best material for them to practice."

Fang Xiaoxiao seemed to cry and laughed: "They cut, dismembered, sliced, dyed us, and classified us according to gender and region... But there is not much food left in the winter observation station, and we will starve to death soon. They don't want to We were dying vulnerable, and they started forcing us to eat seals and penguins and their meat."

"Their flesh fits into our body. We are like plants of other species that have been inserted into our bodies. The embedded body distorts the evolution, and finally becomes like them, which is not afraid of severe cold, has stronger survivability, and will not easily A monster of death."

A tear fell on Fang Xiaoxiao's face, delirious: "Soon, these clever monsters have explored all the secrets of our flesh, and they put our experimental wastes under the ice to preserve them, and entered the species research laboratory. The last stage - human mutual recognition communication and telepathy."

"They need completely alien humans to cooperate with their final stage of experiments, but there have been no new humans here in Antarctica for a long, long time."

"So they continue to simulate the living conditions of human beings under extreme conditions. They even create some conflicts realistically, and then kill each other, and then open the ice to throw the bodies of [dead] monsters down."

Fang Xiaoxiao twitched the corner of her mouth stiffly: "Of course these monsters didn't really die, they just played the role of human beings who failed in the struggle and died, and were frozen beside us."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Bai Liu patted Fang Xiaoxiao on the shoulder, told him to have a good rest, and said that he would drill everyone out of Taishan Station, then turned around and returned to the drilling site to continue working.

Tang Erda was in charge of guarding Fang Xiaoxiao, so he didn't come together.

And Mu Sicheng shrank to the side of Bai Liu as if he was greatly frightened, and said quietly: "Damn! It's really what you said! Those monsters at the observation station are really doing the Turing test! Really! Observatory members in crevasses!"

Bai Liu turned on the instrument, and gave Mu Sicheng a blank look: "How can you be sure that these [humans] placed in the ice crevasses are not these highly intelligent monsters who have studied our human psychology and set them up long ago. A round of the Turing test on us?"

Mu Sicheng was taken aback, his scalp was numb: "You mean, this Fang Xiaoxiao is also a monster pretending to be a monster to test us?!"

Bai Liu narrowed his eyes: "Not necessarily, he may be a real human being."

"Who told you that the Turing test only places one location, and the sociality test of this type of species is usually carried out on an entire map."

Bai Liu sweeps Mu Sicheng with a glance: "Simply put, the entire Antarctica may be an experimental map they set up for us alien humans. The humans in any observation station may be real or fake. Yes, they tell us how we recognize our own kind by our cognitive discrimination between real and fake humans."

"For example, it's like putting a foreign monkey in a group of simulated monkeys and real monkeys, observing the reaction of this foreign monkey, and seeing what kind of monkey it will make the same judgment response, and then these monsters Just imitate these monkeys, pretend that you are a real monkey, come close to this monkey, and conduct further experiments."

Bai Liu's eyes fell on Fang Xiaoxiao behind Mu Sicheng: "For example, let a monkey cut off its limbs, and then observe whether the monkey will seek help from other people of the same kind."

Listening to this, Mu Sicheng felt that his limbs were a little cold, so he silently took off his monkey earphones.

Bai Liu shrugged: "This is how humans study other species."

The author has something to say:

Front row alert! !The drilling machine here is a machine I made up based on the existing drilling machine!I have not found an ice core drilling machine with such accurate positioning measurement feedback and such a large opening for the current drilling machine!It's fictional!Does not exist ha!It can be understood as a unique advanced instrument in the game.

Of course, if I was ignorant, existence would be even better!
