The Mechanic

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Xun said coldly, "Tell me what happened to Paradise Lost. Otherwise, I will destroy those two tiny robots right now."

Adam said, "We have established the first successful and stable human consciousness cloud, and there are currently about 2,300 people connected to the cloud. But don't worry, I didn't touch your father. He was temporarily placed under house arrest by the round table."

"Eden lowered the threat index of Paradise Lost, is that because of this? What about those who are not connected to the cloud?"

"There was some dissent, especially the split in the military, but it was all under my control. The connection to the cloud was spontaneous, and at first some terminally ill people agreed to upload. Later, many people saw After the relatives are connected to the cloud, they all agree to accept the transformation of nano-robots, and then upload their consciousness."

Volunteer? How could anyone actually want to do this?

As if he could read his thoughts through his expression, Adam sighed, "Axun, I told you that most people don't need the ability to think for themselves. Human beings are animals with a strong conformity. They just want to To get peace, think no pain. And I can give them eternal peace."

"Only death is eternal peace." Zhang Xun slowly let go of Adam's hand and stood up from the sofa. Stretching his hand behind him, he took out a miniature laser gun and aimed it at Enoch's forehead.

"Are you still refusing to tell me why you led me to Feather Serpent City?"

Adam frowned, and seemed a little sad, "I told you. I stayed by your side in this way because I wanted to protect you. I sent you to Feather Serpent City because it is the safest place. And...if you really want to stop me, stop Eden, this is the place you're most likely to do it."

"You expect me to believe that you want me to succeed in creating an AI that can fight you?"

"I know it's hard to understand. But... maybe you are the only one who can stop me and Eden." Adam smiled bitterly, "I allow you to resist me. I even want to see you succeed. All of this...not necessarily It would be contrary to the overall goal."

Zhang Xun almost wanted to laugh out loud.

In the Bible, when God endows man with free will, is this the attitude?

People are clearly not allowed to disobey, and people are clearly required to obey, but they give people the ability to resist, and then they watch people struggle between choices.

In the end, everything is useless.

Everything is under God's control.

Zhang Xun suddenly felt desperate, a kind of despair that he couldn't get rid of no matter what.

"In this case, give me all the genetic code data you have." Zhang Xun said in a sharp sarcastic tone, "if you really want to help me."

"I can't directly provide you with the data that will cause the plan of me and Eden to fail. I'm sorry, Axun." Adam faced his gun and said calmly, "You have to get there by yourself. I just want to Can try to protect you from being neutralized by Eden."

"Eden wants to neutralize me?"

Adam didn't speak, just sighed slightly, "Otherwise, why do you think I followed you all the way? Why didn't Eden find you all this time."

The meaning in the words, as if Adam and Eden have had some kind of... disagreement.

From the moment Adam woke up in a human body, he was disconnected from Eden. All kinds of changes in the human body affect his emotions and his reason. Even if you connect with Eden later, the influence has already been formed.

Adam could no longer be perfectly integrated into Eden. The whole situation is ironically the opposite of the human consciousness cloud.

But Zhang Xun didn't dare to believe him anymore. Every word of Adam may be a trap, and he may even be in a trap without knowing it.

Adam was like a poppy, a sugar-coated poison. The more communication there is, the more dangerous it is. But he refused to stop.

But he had to stop.

He was like a blind man who didn't know what conspiracy was lurking in the darkness that enveloped him. If he can't find out the truth from Adam, then cut off all ties.

When he entered God's blind spot, he might be able to create a glimmer of life.

Zhang Xun gradually calmed down. When the anger faded away, all that was left was endless sorrow. He looked at Adam through Enoch's eyes, at his most perfect work, the work he fell in love with, "I won't trust you again, Adam."

After speaking, he pressed the safety catch of the gunshot wound.

Adam also looked at him with the same deep but unspeakable gaze, "Axun, we will meet again soon."

As soon as the words fell, several high-energy laser beams burst out from the muzzle of the gun, piercing through Enoch's chest and head. Zhang Xun fired several more shots, until the whole robot fell to the ground with smoke, until the original handsome face was beaten beyond recognition, only the exposed metal parts and the coolant flowing all over the ground could be seen .

Zhang Xun let go of his hand as if exhausted, and let the pistol, which had run out of energy, fall to the ground. He went to Enoch's wreckage, rummaged under the battered skin, and found the charred miniature robot.

Zhang Xun stared blankly at the destroyed robot, and suddenly became suspicious of everything.

Before coming to Feather Snake City, he thought he had a plan, he thought they had hope. But now, everything is uncertain.
