Truth is everywhere within range

USA, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

The campus at night is brightly lit.

This is the forefront of computer technology and artificial intelligence applications, and research on topics that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Professor Rogers made a cup of coffee and rubbed his eyes. Recent exchanges with other laboratories in the field made him feel a rare sense of urgency, especially the research on simulated brains in China, which seems to have developed artificial intelligence. new road.

He also had to work harder.

During the break, Professor Rogers glanced at the screen casually.

He didn't know it by looking at it, but he was so frightened that he almost dropped the cup in his hand.

In the computer, the latest project of his laboratory was awakened without anyone's operation.

After a series of page flashes, a most primitive window popped up.

Professor Rogers took a closer look and found that it was an audio playback program.

Then, from the computer, a piece of music with unknown meaning played.

Ring ring ring——

It was like some kind of clear and pleasant ringtone, but it was out of tune and the timbre itself was lacking. I could only vaguely feel the rhythm in it.

".Which guy stole it?"

He subconsciously thought it was a prank by those freedom-advocating guys in the laboratory, until Professor Rogers' cell phone rang with a similar sound.

Ring ring ring——

He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. In an interface he had not operated before, an audio piece was played. It was different from the computer, but the sound was similar.

Ring ring ring——

Another sound came from another computer that had been shut down.

For a time, almost all the electronic equipment in the entire laboratory played such music.

"Is it an attack?"

Professor Rogers first thought of the possibility of external intrusion. Maybe this was some kind of code and someone was stealing valuable information from the laboratory. He wanted to call the school security, but found that his mobile phone and the landline in the laboratory were also there. Beep.

He wanted to go directly to the guard downstairs, but the electronic door lock of the laboratory was still immersed in the music, turning a blind eye to Professor Rogers' opening operation.

"this"

This was the first time he realized that his life had been covered by electronic products and the Internet to such an extent.

While Professor Rogers was busy going out, the music that was playing one after another finally merged into one song.

It was a crisp ringtone without complex melody or arrangement, but it reached people's hearts and made even the manic Professor Rogers calm down.

Since I can't get out anyway, I might as well take a rest.

He sat in the laboratory surrounded by bells and picked up the cup of coffee again.

However, this time, as soon as he took a sip, he smelled a burnt smell.

On the screen of the computer farthest from him, the interface that originally played music appeared mosaic, and then the screen quickly went black.

Bang——

Along with a loud noise, the entire computer host emitted white smoke and burst into flames.

"!!!"

This time, Professor Rogers was completely unable to hold the coffee in his hand.

Bang bang bang——

All electronic devices that made ringtones exploded one after another.

For a moment, the ringtone became distorted, changing the tone like a broadcast playing on a dead radio. In line with the gradually expanding fire, there was an inexplicable feeling of horror.

Most of the electronic equipment, including Professor Rogers' mobile phone, burned due to the high temperature caused by overloading.

"This is indeed an attack, right?"

Professor Rogers discovered that the electronic lock had failed due to the explosion, and rushed out of the laboratory.

He saw that other laboratories in the corridor also had fire lights, and for a moment, the entire building was enveloped in flames.

"Oh my God, what the hell happened?"

Professor Rogers was confused.

This kind of situation happened in the United States, in Europe, and in Japan.

Wherever there are mechanical weirdnesses, the ringing of this Kagura bell echoes.

Of course, there are still a handful of fires like those at MIT, mainly because the mechanical weirdness there is so dense that almost the entire project hides them.

In an apartment building near Showa University in Tokyo, Qiao Qiao looked at Nozomi who controlled Morita Hina to send messages through her tentacles, and suddenly thought of a question.

"Those electronic devices that are mechanically weird should have purchased insurance, right?"

The tentacle retracted from Morita Hina's brain.

Hope to know that all the mechanical weirdness in the world has been eliminated at this moment.

Except Morita Hina.

Since she already had a human body structure, the ringing of the Kagura Bell did not cause much damage to Morita Hina.

But Morita Hina's heart was already dead.

Her eyes lost their brightness, her body that had been manipulated by the tentacles was still twitching, and drool left her mouth. Although she had regained control of her will and body, it was of no avail.

Morita Hina's brain is no different from that of humans. That large-scale computing power relies entirely on the support of similar people. Without those, she is just an ordinary person.

Perhaps from now on, Morita Hina has become a real human being.

"Just kill me."

She said looking at each other.

"?"

He tilted his head and saw that countless tentacles stretched out from under his skirt and wrapped around Morita Hina's body.

"Wait a minute."

Qiao Qiao suddenly spoke and stopped Wang Wang from eating.

"She is now the last remaining individual of the mechanical weirdness, and we need to study her to prevent similar situations from happening in the future."

He had no idea of ​​saving this mechanical weirdness.

"Tsk, tsk, humans are really ruthless. Even if they look exactly the same as humans, but they are not of our own race, they are not merciless at all."

Hope to put Morita Hina down.

"Okay, this matter has been resolved. I won't stay here to avoid trouble when the spiritual masters come over later."

She came to Qiao Qiao, gently stood on tiptoes, lightly touched Qiao Qiao's face with her slippery tentacles, and then retracted.

"Okay, I have memorized your smell. If you encounter any trouble in the future, I will be the first to know."

"?"

It always feels like this is some kind of way for animals to declare their sovereignty.

To be honest, it's a bit disgusting.

Qiao Qiao thought that Suzuka was probably going to make a fuss again.

But hope has disappeared.

To be precise, the tentacle-type girl who was Wang has disappeared, and what is in front of Qiao Qiao now is the old god Wishes.

His appearance cannot be captured or remembered. He stuck out his tongue playfully and then disappeared into the air.

Qiao Qiao glanced at Morita Haruna, making the woman huddled in the corner of the room tremble.

He picked up his cell phone and called Miss Sakura from the Soul Slayer Association, preparing to find someone from the Soul Slayer Association to take in Morita Hina.

But unexpectedly, Miss Sakura didn't answer the phone right away.

After waiting for about thirty seconds, a voice came from the phone.

But it's not Miss Sakura.

"Ah, while you are solving the problem, we have also solved the problem here, Mr. Qiao."

The voice of Tamamo Mae came through the phone of the Shinjuku branch of the Soul Exorcist Association.
