Narcissus Self-Saving System

Lu Yu speculates that someone or a team is doing the same experiment as him—trying to make robots truly conscious and emotional, which means making them alive.

This group of people even acted one step ahead of Lu Yu, and had already sold these robots to some stores on Green Corner Street, taking advantage of their interactions with customers to observe the effect of their awakening of consciousness.

Lu Yu also speculated that a robot named Qi Wan was one of the experimental products.Lu Yu took Qi Wan home, and these people blew up Qi Wan in order to destroy the evidence. Lu Yu was implicated and almost died in the explosion.

Two months after the explosion, through unannounced visits and investigations by Lu Yu's subordinates, they finally found a suspected group of people—as a supplier, they were delivering new robots to that store.

And the person in charge of delivery looks exactly like Kane.

"Who is this person?" Off to the side, Guan Ling couldn't help asking.

"My family used to be a robot." Lu Yu frowned and explained briefly.

After hearing this, Guan Ling said: "So... After the case was over, Kane was taken back by XS Company? Then it is possible for the company to resell him after updating the chip. Otherwise, It’s just that the company’s artists were lazy and didn’t redesign, or they thought Kane was good-looking, so they used his facial data to make an identical robot.”

"Of course it's possible. It's just... why Kane."

Lu Yu stared at the person on the phone, thought for a while, and couldn't help saying: "I was just wondering if there were any people who wanted to kill me. Because Kane, because he still remembers me, he didn't let them If you strike, you will only destroy Qi Wan."

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he called his secretary. "You were not found, were you?"

"No. They are very careful. Don't worry." The secretary said, "Then shall we ask the proprietress to find this supplier..."

"Not for the time being. You can let people operate there normally, clean up the background information and so on, and don't have anything to do with our company. It's too deliberate to take the initiative to find them, wait patiently, and wait for them to come to us. Let Our people will do business normally, and the profit will be given to the person in charge and you, I don’t want it. When the business is done and there are more people, if they think it can be used for their experiments, they will come to us.”

The secretary said: "Okay Mr. Lu, I understand. In fact, I didn't tell the real reason to the people below, so as not to expose them to the trap."

"Well. You have always been reliable in your work, thank you." Lu Yu hung up the phone.

In the evening, Guan Ling went home.Lu Yu continued to let Xi Nan lie beside him.Xi Nan lay on the outside, charging with his left arm stretched out.Lu Yu always slept with Xi Nan's right hand in his arms.

But this time he didn't.He holds a photo in one hand and a phone in the other.

The photo has a new plastic cover and is framed, and it is a photo of him with his brother and Kane.The previous group photo was destroyed in the explosion.This is his new printout.

As for the photo on his phone, it was still the photo sent by the secretary just now.

With the help of the light, Lu Yu looked at it for a long time, and then asked Xi Nan: "Do you think there is any difference between Kane in these two photos?"

Xi Nan observed carefully, and indeed felt something different.In the photo taken by the three of them, Kane's eyes are dull and his facial features are dull, just like a robot.In the photo sent by the secretary, Kane appeared to be in high spirits.

Obviously both of them have the same facial features, but their temperaments are very different.Take a closer look, the difference is brought by the eyes. ——In the night, Kane was talking about business on Green Corner Street, a bit like a handy shopping mall veteran, and he didn't look like a robot at all.

"Robots do like people, and they may look like a certain person. For example, Fan Chu, his robot Jack, was customized to look like his brother. But no one will look like a robot. So this person can only It's a robot. Guan Ling's speculation is reasonable. This robot may be transformed from Kane in the past, or it may just be a new robot built to look like Kane. He may have been sold, and finally The gang that did the same experiment as me got him."

Lu Yu slowly talked about his conjecture, "After passing through the hands of this group of people, he is no longer a simple robot. He may come back to life, and then help this group of people deliver goods and negotiate business. Ai Ling, what do you think? ?”

Xi Nan didn't have much opinion.What's more, he didn't want to say too much, so as not to be exposed.

So Xi Nan just said: "I don't know who he is. But if he is Kane, if he really wants to protect you, I will be grateful to him."

"If he really comes back to life and really has the memory of Kane, I think he will. In fact, Kane gives me the feeling...just like my mother. My biological parents have gone too far, I just want to My brother and Kane have memories. My brother and I have a big age gap, he is like a father, and Kane is like a mother. I take care of Kane, and Kane has always taken care of him."

Thinking of the warm and peaceful appearance of this family before Lu Qing's accident, Lu Yu's eyes gathered a smile.

Xi Nan turned his head, glanced at Lu Yu, and asked, "So they have been treating you very well."

"Yes." Lu Yu said, "At least for a long time, everyone in this family is happy."

"Xiao Yu, do you have any other photos together?" Xi Nan asked.

"No. I learned related things after I grew up, and then I tried my best to restore some of the things on my brother's computer. I only restored this group photo."

Lu Yu's expression was a bit sad, "The rest of the photos were deleted by my brother, and I can't get them back."

Xi Nan asked him, "Why?"

"As I said, my brother fell ill later. He couldn't ask for it, and he was in pain every day. He hated himself and Kane. Of course he still loved Kane, but Kane couldn't give him a response. He loved Kane Just love and hate. Once he hit Kane and broke Kane's arm. Then he got angry and deleted all the photos related to Kane. After many years, I only recovered through data , and found this one."

Xi Nan: "Your brother often hit Kane later?"

"Yes. He won't when I'm around. He's probably afraid of giving me a bad impression. Besides, if I'm around, I'll stop him. Every time Kane gets hurt, I help him, so I'm very happy. Robots will be repaired long ago."

When Lu Yu said this, he put down the things in his hand, turned Xi Nan over, looked at his back, and then at his wrist. "I scratched you, does it still hurt?"

Xi Nan shook his head. "It doesn't hurt. I don't feel it."

Lu Yu was silent for a while, and said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you that way. Unknowingly... I have imitated my brother. I love him very much, but I don't agree with his actions, let alone imitate him. Especially It's because I thought... that when you come back to life, you'll blame me."

Xi Nan turned around and looked at Lu Yu, remembering that when his friend's daughter was playing with Barbie dolls, she also broke his arms and legs.

Of course, the two things cannot be fully compared.Because the robot is so human-like, it means that the perpetrator is really violent.

Xi Nan had no way of knowing to what extent Lu Qing had achieved at that time.But Lu Yu's level is still relatively light, and it seems that he can get back, but it won't make him unforgivable, not to mention that his body itself does not have pain-sensing cells.

Xi Nan finally patted him on the head. "Xiao Yu, it's okay. Just don't do that to the real person. That would be illegal. Get some rest early."

Lu Yu looked at Xi Nan and said, "When I was young, I went to a temple, the only temple in this city. Not many people believe in that now. I didn't believe it at the time either. But now that I think about it, what the old monk said made sense. "

"What did he say?" Xi Nan asked.

Lu Yu said: "He said that all living beings are equal, and he asked me to be kind to everything around me, whether it's people, flowers, plants, or objects. Only by being kind to everything around me can I get blessings. He said that if my brother and I are too angry , If we don’t understand this truth, we will regret it for the rest of our lives.”

This time Lu Yu didn't ask Xi Nan to answer anything, but just hugged his arm and closed his eyes. "Go to sleep. I won't bother you anymore."

Another month later.The secretary brought good news to Lu Yu—it seemed that the robot supplier Kane belonged to took the initiative to find them to discuss business.Although the person who came this time was not Kane, the logo on the clothes they wore was from the same family.

The secretary said: "They repeatedly promise that the robot in their hands is extremely perfect and will know how to please customers better than ordinary robots. But they are only willing to sell one."

Lu Yu: "Okay, let them buy it, but don't look too eager, just say that you need to pay in installments, there is a trial period. If you think this robot is really good, then pay the balance."

Secretary: "Understood, I'll do it right away."

Three days later, the secretary called Lu Yu again and told them that they had bought a robot. Her name was Daisy. She had light golden wavy long hair, blue eyes like the deep sea, and transparent white skin. She looked like someone in a western fairy tale. The elves in the world should not belong to the human world.

And the most amazing thing is that she has a little freckles on her cheeks, which is very beautiful.I don't know if it's because of this reason, she looks pure and has a bit of popularity, which is far from other dull robots.

That night, Xi Nan followed Lu Yu to the store on Green Corner Street, and when he saw the robot in the window, he was shocked for a moment.

It took Xi Nan a long time to recover, only to realize that Lu Yu had been staring at him for a long time with a dark face.

Realizing that Xi Nan was finally looking at him, Lu Yu narrowed his pupils and raised the tails of his eyes. "Ai Ling, I'm jealous."

Xi Nan: "I'm just observing her. She is indeed very different from us."

"Last time I didn't take out Qi Wan's chip to check carefully. This time I finally got the chance." Lu Yu said to Xi Nan, and then looked at the store manager, "I'll just order her. All night."

The manager was recruited by the secretary from another store on Green Corner Street. He didn't know that Lu Yu was the behind-the-scenes owner of this store, nor did he know what he was here for.He glanced at Lu Yu in surprise, after all, it was rare to see people bringing robots to the robot red-light district.

- All night?Two robots and a human?

However, the manager of the store was no longer surprised. He looked at Lu Yu a few more times, didn't ask any more questions, and respectfully invited him into the private room.

A moment later, in the private room.

Lu Yu took out the toolbox and put out a series of tools such as a signal detector, a microscope, a scalpel, and gloves.

Xi Nan's ideology is helping the forehead - what a special way of "encompassing the night".This is probably the so-called "I thought you wanted to fuck me, but you just wanted to study".

Xi Nan waited with Lu Yu for quite a while, but the store manager hadn't sent Daisy in yet.

Suddenly, the entire private room was pitch black, as if the power had been cut off.

Xi Nan subconsciously glanced out of the window, the other stores were still brightly lit, there was no such situation at all.If the possibility of a short circuit is ruled out, it can only show that the circuit of their shop has been artificially damaged.

Lu Yu also reacted quickly, took Xi Nan's hand and rushed out.

As soon as the two arrived in the corridor, they bumped into someone.

The man lay on the ground crying.

Lu Yu turned on his phone and saw that he was the store manager.

"What's going on?" Lu Yu asked.

The store manager said: "As soon as I took Daisy to the corridor, there was a sudden power failure and I couldn't see anything. Then someone punched me and ran away with Daisy."

Lu Yu looked out along the corridor, it was bright outside, and the surveillance camera at the intersection was also facing the store.

So Lu Yu pulled Xi Nan up, ran back immediately, went around to the back door, and saw that the door there was indeed half-opened.

Outside the back door was a narrow path, and there was indeed a running figure not far away.Lu Yu rushed a few steps very quickly.His physique is stronger than Xi Nan imagined.Xi Nan almost didn't keep up with him.

After chasing for several miles, Xi Nan saw Lu Yu holding up something like a pistol and aiming at the person in front of him. "You are holding a robot, so you can't run as fast as me. And my detector shows that you have no breathing and heartbeat, and you are also a robot. I have a signal jammer for controlling the robot. I made it myself and can Through signal interference, remotely control the chip in your chest and force you to fall to the ground. That will cause some damage to your chip. So I think, you should stop yourself and come over. Don't force me to do it. "

The figure in front froze.After a while, he finally hugged Daisy and walked back step by step.

At the same time, his face was exposed under the streetlight.

After a distance, he stopped, looked at Lu Yu with complicated eyes, and said after a while, "Xiao Yu, you have grown up. I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way."

Lu Yu's arms froze, and he immediately said a meaningless question: "Kane? You are Kane!"

Seemingly feeling that this question was redundant, Lu Yu immediately asked, "Why did you steal the robot? What...what's going on? Besides, your expression is wrong. You...are you conscious? You're alive!"

Lu Yu was so excited that his voice even trembled a little.He stepped forward, looking at Kane like he did when he was a child. "Don't rush to answer. I'll take you home, okay? Do you want to miss everything at home? But there was an explosion a few days ago, so the furniture and decorations were changed. We..."

Kane was silent for a long time, frowned and glanced at Xi Nan behind Lu Yu, then looked at Daisy in his arms, and said to Lu Yu: "Don't go home. Daisy and I can't go to your house."

Lu Yu's pupils dilated. "So I guessed everything right. You know about the explosion. Don't they dare to blow it up again when I take you back?"

"It's not just for this reason." Kane explained this sentence, but didn't say much.

Lu Yu finally nodded. "Okay, come with me and go to our company. Our company has great researchers and recently participated in a military project. The security in my place is now top-notch. No one dares to make trouble there."

That night, Lu Yu took Kane to the office.

As soon as he entered the office, Lu Yu pulled him and asked, "Are you really alive? Kane, I really miss you. When did you come back alive? Since you remember everything, why didn't you come to me? You Hate me? Don't you miss me?"

Xi Nan watched from the side and shook his head. ——You ask people so many questions, which one should they answer first?

After Lu Yu finished asking a long paragraph like a cannonball, he hurried to Xi Nan and took his hand. "Don't be jealous. He is my sister-in-law and treats me like my mother."

Xi Nan: "..."

Kane sighed slightly, stepped forward to pat Lu Yu, supported him by the shoulders and let him sit down, only said: "I am indeed alive and conscious. There is a group of people behind me who are doing related research, that is to let the robot Really self-aware. They didn't quite succeed though. So far, it seems like I'm the only one who's really conscious by accident and hasn't made a mistake yet. But the others aren't. Like that robot named Chiwan. She'll be She is conscious for a while. But after a while, she no longer knows anything. Moreover, when she is conscious, she is aggressive and difficult to control."

When Xi Nan heard this, he couldn't help thinking—it seems that Lu Yu's previous guesses were all right.

"Then the reason why you stole the robot is..." Lu Yu asked.

"I can't bear to see them like this. I see them, I mean, I see these robots who may come to life like me as my kind. I can't bear to see them reduced to the red light district."

Kane said, "That group of people just let me participate in this work. Before they were worried about me coming out, after a long period of multiple tests, they confirmed that my thinking ability and action ability are similar to real people, so they arranged for me. This job, of course, is actually a disguised test to see if I can really handle this job smoothly. It is also because of this that I know that my kind is actually doing this kind of work... under their persecution thing."

Lu Yu nodded: "Understood. You are not stealing robots. You are trying to save them."

"Yes. I didn't save Qi Wan, but she didn't want to. She fell in love with a student." Kane said, "When that student doesn't come, she will break herself down and be sent by the proprietress for repairs, so she can't receive her." The rest of the guests."

——So, Qi Wan is alive and fell in love with Devon, this is not an illusion of Devon.

It's a pity that Qi Wan died completely in the explosion by mistake.

When Xi Nan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Yu couldn't help sighing. "So, that drug is actually a cover-up for the people behind you. Once something goes wrong, everyone will focus on the drug in the robot's stomach, and don't think that they will resurrect the robot. Or... Let Devon Thinking that everything is an illusion caused by drugs, he may be able to let go of it easier."

"Xiaoyu, don't worry about this matter." Kane looked at Lu Yu and said suddenly, "They destroyed Qiwan earlier because they were afraid that the secret would be exposed, but it was actually a warning to you. If you let them know, you Open a store to steal their secrets, and when they see you bring Devon home, they will suspect you and deal with you."

Lu Yu smiled and asked, "Then what's your plan today? Just pretend it's an ordinary theft?"

Kane didn't speak, and Lu Yu said: "According to what you said, they are monitoring Qi Wan's whereabouts, and also monitoring Devon's movements. Once I take them home, those people will know. Then, why do you think , If you come to our company, won’t you be discovered by them? It seems that we have all been discovered by them, and now we are grasshoppers on the same rope, and we can only go one way to the dark.”

Kane thought of something, and immediately said: "Turn off all the surveillance here."

"Why?" Lu Yu asked, "It's impossible for them to hack into my system."

"But someone came here a few days ago. Liu Kaiwen from XS Company. He didn't come for no reason. He must have done something." Kane said.

Lu Yu became serious, and finally called the omnipotent secretary, and asked her to find an administrative person to turn off the monitoring, and then asked her to arrange technical personnel to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the company's equipment and systems.

"So...Liu Kaiwen is also a member of that gang? Is XS company related to them?" Lu Yu couldn't help asking.

Kane said: "Whether XS Company has anything to do with this matter, I don't know. I only know that Liu Kaiwen is one of them, and he may simply be involved in this matter behind the company's back."

Next, Lu Yu asked a lot of questions, and I don't know whether it was Kane's limited knowledge, or he didn't want to say more, in short, he didn't say anything more.

In the end, Lu Yu stopped asking him these troublesome things.He held Kane's wrist again and asked him, "Do you miss your brother? Let's visit his grave together tomorrow, okay?"

To Lu Yu's surprise, Kane withdrew his hand and rejected Lu Yu.

Lu Yu frowned, then looked at Daisy next to him.Lu Yu originally wanted to take out Daisy's chip, so he asked the store manager to turn on Daisy's sleep mode.So now Daisy is lying on the couch in the office knowing nothing.

Turning his eyes away from the face of the alluring female robot, Lu Yu's eyes were clouded, and he looked at Kane: "You betrayed my brother? Are you in love with Daisy? It must be so. If you don't save everyone Wan, you have enough reasons. But why did you save Daisy instead of other people? You didn’t care about exposing yourself, regardless of the danger of betraying the group behind you, but you still wanted to save her. You...you empathize with others Love, betrayed my brother."

Kane only said: "Like I said, I just got into this job not long ago. I chose to save Daisy first, purely because you are a new store, and the security has not kept up with it. It is easy for me to get it. I don't Know that the boss behind the scenes is you."

Lu Yu asked: "Then why don't you want to see my brother?"

Kane asked back: "Why are you following that group?"

Lu Yu replied: "Because I think the same as them. I also want robots to be conscious."

"I advise you to give up. I don't think this is a good thing." Kane replied.

"Why the hell is that? My brother spent his whole life grieving that you didn't survive, and he—"

"Don't say any more!" Kane's voice became angry, but he interrupted the angry words all at once, "Xiao Yu, I don't like humans. I even hate humans. That's why I don't want to visit your brother's grave. Go to the green Those humans in the corner street, and the group of people who control me, Qi Wan, and Daisy behind the scenes, disgust me!"

Speaking of this, seeing Lu Yu's shocked and sad eyes, Kane finally softened his tone. "Xiao Yu, you helped me a lot when I was young, I remember, so I am still willing to talk to you. You are the only human being I don't hate, and even... I am willing to take care of you. But the rest of them make me sick."

After a long time, Lu Yu stared at Kane, his voice trembling. "You...do you hate my brother?"
