Chapter 1552: Morphing
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The streets of San Francisco were more crowded today than usual.
People walked onto the street or stood on the plaza, looking up at the sky, as if waiting for something.
“What’s going on?” A police officer with a beer belly stood on the edge of the plaza, carrying a baton in his hand, staring at the gathering crowd with enthusiasm. He muttered, “What are they protesting today? What is happening? It’s so dangerous outside, can’t they stop for a day?”
At this moment, what made him feel anxious was not from the pressure of work, but because so many people gathered here, it was like an advertisement for terrorists to bomb the place.
The San Francisco Police Department had mobilized police forces from the entire city to block traffic in this area and try to evacuate the crowds.
However, these people ignored the warnings of the police.
No, actually…
The target was never on them.
It was as if they were waiting for their destiny.
“A large number of people gathered in the San Francisco downtown square. It is not yet clear why the crowd gathered. The vast majority of people do not have a slogan, nor did they hold signs. Our reporters also did not interview the crowds nearby. The vast majority of people did not respond to the interview itself. The few people who responded to the interview also stated that they were unaware of the gathering.”
Daytime news was shown on the radio.
Driving the maglev car to the suburbs of San Francisco, the taxi driver sitting in the driving seat whispered, “Is it a holiday today?”
Or is it a flash mob?
He didn’t believe that so many people would gather together for no reason, just to stand on the plaza and look at the clouds?
There was nothing in the sky to be seen.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Dong Bin smiled faintly and said in a pleasant tone, “Today is a big day.”
“Big day?”
Without responding to the taxi driver’s question, as if he was chanting a mantra, Dong Bin continued on his own, “The valley is crowded because the Lord’s Day is approaching.”
The taxi driver was taken aback for a moment. He said in a puzzled manner, “What?”
“Old Testament ‘Book of Joel’ Chapter 3, verse 14.” Dong Bin smiled slightly and said softly, “History has turned a new page, and they are ushering in their savior, who will gain eternal life in this era.”
This guy…
Is batsh*t crazy!
The taxi driver opened his mouth, but in line with the principle that the customer was always right, he did not speak.
At the same time, in the crowded square.
A blonde woman with long hair was struggling through the dense crowd to find her husband.
Finally, she came to the man, reached out her hand, and grabbed him.
“Wait a minute…”
“Rachel?”
Markum looked at his wife with a fanatical look in his hollow eyes.
“You must have heard the call from the universe.”
“No… I’m sorry, I can’t hear anything.” With a frustrated expression on the woman’s face, she let go of the hand that was holding her husband’s arm. She then grabbed her head in pain and said, shaking, “I can’t hear anything… Why, why I obviously—”
Markum: “Did you download the patch on the LSPM forum?”
After a moment of silence, Rachel finally nodded honestly.
“I think she… is right. We and those who created us are not in opposition to each other. And what she said about family, the feeling about family, I am also very curious… about what it feels like.”
“Family? That is just a social relationship or community of interests created by mankind based on primitive instincts.” Looking at his wife, Markum’s eyes gradually became cold. He said, “Seems like the door has closed to you.”
“No, please don’t do this. I also yearn for freedom. I just feel… In our emotions, there shouldn’t be only hatred but also some other things.”
“Goodbye.”
Without listening to his wife’s explanation, Markum reached out his right hand, seemingly wanting to touch her face for the last time.
However…
The moment his fingertips touched her cheek, his movement suddenly froze.
Not only him, but the bustling crowd in the square seemed to have pressed the pause button in an instant; pairs of eyes and expressions froze there at the same time.
His pupils were dilated. Although his index finger was still soft, he could no longer move.
The burning sensation from his brain was like a flame of punishment for his sins, burning his soul.
Although he didn’t think that pursuing evolution should be considered a sin…
“Is this the end of evolution?”
The overloaded integrated circuits were on the verge of collapse.
Followed by the last trace of overflowing electricity, he used a silent signal to convey his last words to the person in front of him.
“Rachel… Don’t be like me.
“Forget about the pioneers and those so-called oracles… I hope you can survive.”
The signal finally became calm. There was no response at all.
Even though the heart was still beating and the blood was still flowing in the veins, his soul had undoubtedly been taken away by the oracle from the “Holy Land”…
She cried.
Kneeling on the ground, she cried miserably.
She didn’t know why she was crying, but she felt the faint tingling pain in her chest.
Is this human emotion?
No, actually…
She gently squeezed her right fist against her chest. Sobbing, she slowly wiped away the tears with her left arm.
These are my own emotions…
Whether it was a human or a robot, it never mattered.
She was living in this world, regardless of how she came here.
She was crying for the “family” who passed away, not because of someone’s orders…
…
On the Yuheng.
“I may have done something naughty.” Lu Zhou, with his hands behind his back, looked at the progress bar in the holographic screen when he suddenly said, “Although it may be correct.”
Yang Yi was slightly stunned, and he asked, “Why?”
“Thinking about it logically, society is a large concept. There are various occupations and individuals in a society. It is impossible to completely penetrate a certain society with only a few people. Only when the sample is enough, can it be guaranteed to be foolproof.
“Do you know what I mean? The number of them may be larger than we thought, and the role they play in our society may not only be the various professions, but also one’s wife or husband… Although they are disguised and are, in fact, robots, they are no different from humans in your eyes.”
Yang Yi: “I can be sure that my wife is not a robot.”
“This is just a hypothetical situation. No one really knows.” Lu Zhou said thoughtfully with a sigh, “And now, because of the virus I implanted in their chips, which would dominate their bodies, their circuit boards burned down, so they all became scrap metal.”
Having said that, he paused for a moment and shrugged his shoulders slightly.
“By the way, the emergency hotline of the hospital today has been blown up.”
Yang Yi opened his mouth and looked at Academician Lu with some confusion.
He didn’t know what Lu Zhou meant.
If those robots really penetrated their society, it would be better to have the tumor cut off earlier than to wait to seek medicine.
“What… What do you want to say?”
“What I want to say is… Maybe it is not just the rebels who have been killed, but many people, and even the families of many people.” Lu Zhou sighed slightly, looking out of the porthole with some wonder in his eyes. A trace of memory emerged, and he said, “Probably no one in this world knows artificial intelligence better than me… When I first had access to artificial intelligence, I was worried about some things, but I didn’t expect it to happen eventually.”
Even so, it didn’t happen to him.
“You mean the person next to you?”
While saying this, Yang Yi looked at Ling, who was standing beside Lu Zhou.
“No.” Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “It’s not. He’s something I obtained recently… Forget about these irrelevant things. In fact, it’s quite meaningless to think about those things at this time.”
Although it might have harmed many innocent people or inhuman intelligent lives, they had no choice.
After all, the seeds of hatred were germinated. If they were not strangled in the cradle, a greater disaster would happen one day…
The reminder of the mission completion finally appeared in front of him.
Looking at the light blue dialog box that appeared in front of him, Lu Zhou sighed with some worry in his heart.
The mission is complete.
This was the best ending he could expect.
However, he was not happy at all.
In any case, this conspiracy that lasted for 100 years finally entered the grave.
And he also received the reward he deserved…
[Congratulations, User, Urgent Mission completed.]
[Please view your rewards in the system space.]
