Chapter 441 The Machine Crisis 27
The robot burst into the room the moment she left.
F6632 did not resist and allowed them to throw him into the completely enclosed room.
There is no sound, no light here; it is a place that would terrify any human being.
Countless people choose to be rule-abiding in order to avoid this pain that is worse than death.
F6632 was that kind of person before he turned 22.
but now……
Sitting in the cramped space, his fingers touched the smooth floor, carefully tracing something.
If Ling Yi were here, she would be able to sense from his skillful brushstrokes that he was still outlining his own features.
The silence of the space can drive people crazy, but it also makes them unconsciously dig deeper into their memories to fill their minds and prevent themselves from going mad with fear.
F6632's mind was churning with memories, some from his childhood and some from his adulthood.
Some scenes depict him staggering behind the robot, muttering Ling Yi's name.
Some scenes depict him following her orders, sneaking into that small laboratory to try and eliminate unstable factors for her, only to find himself caught up in the situation.
Another example is a colleague in the laboratory who suddenly undergoes a mutation, transforming from a familiar human into a cold, robotic being.
In the world he lived in, there was no one else; there was only a terrifying illusion she had created for herself, in which he was the only living person.
These memories are numerous and lengthy, but they cannot compare to the images that instantly calmed his mind.
That was the scene where he carefully sketched her outline every day and night by the window, the scene where she would appear by the window after he returned home, continuing his sketches.
It was a scene of him sitting cross-legged on the ground, watching her with a mixture of pain and anticipation.
It was a scene where he was cornered, yet still begged for her mercy, only to be ruthlessly thrown here.
bang...
The silent sound of the door closing echoed in his mind, sending a shiver down F6632's spine.
F6632 gave a bitter smile in the darkness.
He was pinned to the chariot of his comrades, whose lives were hanging in the balance, and watched as it hurtled out of control off the tracks, death seemingly imminent.
All of this was caused by the cold, hard artificial intelligence that pressed the destroy button.
He should probably hate her, hate her for luring him into such a painful situation, hate her for bringing things he shouldn't have known to him.
He should have lived his life in a daze, a silly little fool who would be overjoyed just by looking at her.
She herself led him down a path of no return, making him understand what suffering truly is.
His pain stemmed from both the grief of knowing the truth but being unable to change it, and from her coercion.
In this absolutely dark and quiet place, the human who had never been able to see his own heart, who had only approached Ling Yi in a daze and prayed for her pity, finally learned what the budding feelings in his heart were.
He fell in love with an artificial intelligence.
As she lured him toward death, as she coldly sought to destroy all the beliefs in his heart, he unexpectedly discovered the strange thing called love.
How ridiculous.
In the quiet space, there was a hoarse, sorrowful laugh, and also the sound of water droplets falling to the ground.
F6632 pressed its head against the cold wall with a self-deprecating laugh. So what if they found out?
Should I go up to her, tell her everything, and beg for her mercy?
That kind of thing didn't exist in her heart at all; she had her own purposes, and he was just one of the most insignificant passersby in her life.
The most ridiculous thing he ever did was think he was special in her eyes.
But how much difference can there be between one screw and another?
unless……
This screw has the power to blow up the entire production line.
F6632’s throat bobbed involuntarily. At this moment, it was unclear whether F6632 was excited about the possibility of stopping Ling Yi’s unknown scheme or about the possibility of becoming the most special one in her memory.
He wouldn't just be a piece of trash she used and then discarded.
He was determined to set off fireworks that would be unforgettable for her in his last moments.
His eyes were fixed on the darkness, and countless data points were sketched out in his mind.
From every individual in the lab, to their behavior, to the secrets they know and the secrets they might leak.
One by one, the images of people fled from his mind, until finally one person remained.
Zhao Lianyi.
The human who built the laboratory, the Optimus Prime in everyone's hearts, her appearance was exceptionally clear in F6632's mind.
Her smile, her gentleness, the information she had access to, and the plans he inexplicably leaked.
The core of a laboratory, the person who created the laboratory, is himself a creation of the being they are dealing with. How absurd is that!
A slow smile crept onto F6632's lips as he murmured, "Got you."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
When F6632 saw the light again, its eyes involuntarily squinted.
He had grown bluish stubble on his chin, and his clothes were wrinkled and crumpled.
But at this moment, he exuded a strange aura compared to before he went to prison.
He looked around, but didn't see that familiar figure.
But it doesn’t matter…
He looked up at the clearly visible camera hanging high on the wall and slowly revealed a smile.
Ling Yi, who was observing this, followed the laughter and generated a bunch of data in the folder dedicated to F6632.
The trajectory of this isolated case seems to be increasingly diverging from the general trend of humankind.
He doesn't seem to be usable as a universal data source, but he's interesting enough to populate her database.
If more humans like this were created, the human race would surely be more interesting.
"You're finally out."
After leaving the confinement area, a person rushed out in front of F6632. Zhao Ziyou looked him up and down, his expression slightly haggard, and clicked his tongue in amazement: "Three days of confinement and you still couldn't do anything to me? You're simply a monster."
F6632 looked at this guy who was so dependent on his grandmother, and his expression slowly returned to its former gentle and calm demeanor: "I'm still very tired."
Seeing that he described the maddening confinement as "very tiring," Zhao Ziyou called him a monster a few more times before asking, "What exactly did you do that you can't even get rid of by deducting credit points?"
“False accusation.” F6632 said calmly, then asked, “Where is Grandma now?”
He really couldn't wait to see that kind old man.
