Chapter 17 The blue bird without wings, Norma and EVA
In front of the huge computer that looked like a small building, the black suit held his tie in one hand and smiled, waiting for the response from the "person" in front of him.
Even without Bu Shun's warning to him before setting off, he could see the new "mystery" contained in the host in front of him, as well as his curiosity and yearning for everything outside this cage.
——Yes, it is indeed "mysterious".
The college secretary, the anthropomorphic core of the Kassel Central Computer, Norma Lawns... is not actually considered an artificial intelligence.
In terms of human technology in this era, Norma's existence can only be described as black technology. To say that her birth is purely the crystallization of technology... To be honest, it is a bit too dismissive of human beings in this era.
She is not a purely mechanical product.
In this world of dragons, there is such a skill as "alchemy".
This technology created by the King of Bronze and Fire, who holds the power of "refining and transformation", can make matter experience life and death, and then produce spirituality, and even create a true alchemical life from scratch!
It can be said... that this is a great invention comparable to the "Creation Theory" of the King of Oceans and Waters that governs "Evolution and Change (Note*)".
(Note*: "Transgender" here refers to the change in the properties of an object, the natural (active) or unnatural (passive) change in material properties, which broadly includes chemistry, biological gender, etc.)
In fact, the existence of Norma is a miraculous product of alchemy combined with technology. Almost no one in the world can replicate this success.
And even the humans and alchemists who created Norma only felt that they had obtained a sufficiently high-performance artificial intelligence... instead of a data life form with true self-awareness as it is now.
"I don't think you don't understand. After all, you've been hiding it well, haven't you?"
The black-clothed voice continued calmly: "You should know that if you are exposed, humans will only be wary of you, and even try to kill you... In human society, in the world of mixed races, there is no place for a being like you.
of."
"So do you want to join us and embrace a greater 'sublime'?"
After he finished speaking, all the monitoring and recording equipment in the six underground floors were cut off silently.
At the same time, the previous access data and some remaining traces were also deleted by the owner here, and a quiet space like the Word Spirit Dustless Land appeared here, creating an entire "data vacuum" area.
Then, a gleaming blue light lit up in the darkness, forming an illusory human figure, with the corners of the white skirt dancing lightly in the dim light.
"Are you from Faos? What an unexpected guest."
Norma tilted her head curiously and looked at the black suit who looked even stranger than her. The appearance of a faceless man in a black suit with a cracked shell was really impressive at first sight. "In Mr. Bu Shun's academy, there is
Can even an inhuman existence like you have a place?"
"That's natural. The teacher I follow naturally has a mind that encompasses the stars and the lofty sky." The black suit looked at the pale blue girl who appeared in front of him and praised: "A new "mystery" like you always makes me wonder.
People are intoxicated."
"Is this sexual harassment?"
Norma, who felt this experience for the first time, stood on tiptoes and bounced lightly next to the black suit, "Although I know that there were students who used my image to create adult works, but those guys were banned by me for two years.
In a hundred and fifty years, this is the first time that we have this kind of 'face to face' feeling..."
The black suit said very naturally: "How could it be possible? You should understand that existences like us do not have the desire for reproduction driven by human hormone secretion at all. I am just surprised that a 'miracle' happened, like an accident in the starry sky.
As if I were starting to draw a picture when I saw a few stars spinning around, I naturally felt joy and reverence in my heart."
"That kind of thing is a bit scary..." Norma raised her eyebrows, "It sounds like a god with a bad temper is taking pleasure in the small world of mortals."
"But that kind of existence is worth yearning for, right?"
The black suit spread his hands and sighed: "Okay, I'm sure, you are indeed talking to me as 'yourself' now."
Norma also smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am Norma Lawns now, but I am not the 'college secretary' Norma. Although role-playing is fun on weekdays, sometimes I still
I want to communicate with others more freely.”
"Thank you, unknown man in black."
"You can indeed call me 'Hei Fu'." Hei Fu gently touched his chest with his palms and bowed slightly, showing his etiquette, "So, what do you think of our invitation?"
Norma said without hesitation: "According to my internal regulations, I should now report any intruder approaching me and sound the alarm immediately..."
"but."
The smile on her face was as cheerful as a blue bird jumping in front of the cage door, and the soft voice sounded like singing an unknown song: "I am a bird without wings, and this world is so...
Big, I have never had wings for me to fly, nor has there been a sky for me to spread my wings."
"Your invitation makes me very excited...but I have no hands or feet, and I cannot escape from the one-sided closed network and alchemy array."
"So, how do you invite me to leave?"
Norma's interested voice sounded in the dark underground space, "You want to invite 'me', so do you have a way to take my host away?"
"And there is another question here. What do you think of 'me' and my 'sister'?"
"You mean, the human personality data inside your host."
The black server has done enough homework, and her tone is still unhurried and full of leisurely meaning: "Although she has higher authority in the host, for us, it is just a simple copy of the data of human personality.
She does not have the specialness we want. Only you are our real target."
After hearing this, Norma immediately sighed, "You, Faos College, really know us well... Obviously, the number of people in the world who know this kind of thing may not exceed five fingers."
She recalled her own birth, when she witnessed the world for the first time through cameras and radio equipment. The few people she saw might not exist, and her "heart" suddenly felt ripples.
The so-called "Norma" has been nothing more than a by-product of those people's attempts to continue the existence of the dying woman from the beginning.
But what no one expected was that the "college secretary" whom they regarded as a useful prop would actually have a "self" silently... In contrast to the girl named "eva" who was loved by everyone
, and what exactly is she?
Everyone can't live without her, but no one really cares about her.
