A girl was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, her hands and feet were fixed to the chair by steel rings, and she could not move at all. Only a pair of eyes were exposed. The girl's pupils were slightly blue, and she turned around.
Then he slowly and cautiously said to the camera: "You...you may have misunderstood something."
"No," a familiar voice chuckled softly outside the screen, "You are the one I want to arrest, Miss Yan Qiu."
The young girl was shocked: "...why? We have no grievances."
"There is no grievance or grudge, that's true. But if you want to say that there is no resentment between us, it doesn't seem to be true." The voice-over said calmly, "Didn't you mention me when you met Gao Lang this morning?
?"
"How did you..."
"You said that you have never seen me in the Nine Cities before, but suddenly I, an outsider, took back the artificial intelligence command station. No matter how you look at it, it is a bit suspicious. Gao Lang said that he had never seen me before, while giving it to you
Peeled an orange...right?"
Yan Qiu suddenly struggled and said in a fierce tone: "You spy on me!"
"You are not the only one." The voice continued as if it didn't care, "Miss Yan Qiu, let me tell you the truth. I believe you will understand my last resort."
Yan Qiu calmed down and no longer struggled.
"You are right, I am indeed not the evolver of Yunshou Nine Cities... I am the person who was invited to help by Mr. Yun Qian."
"What help?"
"In addition to the command post, Mr. Yun Qian also hopes that I can find out... which one of you and Gao Lang is the artificial intelligence."
In the picture, the girl wrapped in white remained motionless for a while.
Suddenly, she laughed out loud: "What nonsense are you talking about? I simply - I simply don't know where to refute you."
The voiceover went silent. It wasn't until Yan Qiu couldn't laugh anymore that the familiar voice sighed.
"They have long been able to create AI that is indistinguishable from real people, and you know this. I am not saying that you have been suspicious before... It's just that this time, the artificial intelligence command station I brought back caused
They paid attention to it, so they sent an AI like this to sneak into us. But if you want to do it exactly like a real person, you have to make sacrifices in performance. The AI cannot compete with the law enforcers, and it is still hiding in the
Don’t dare to show your head in the dark.”
"How did the Commander-in-Chief know?"
"He has suffered from this kind of AI before. So as soon as your friend was attacked this time, he immediately understood what was going on——"
"Wait a minute," Yan Qiu interrupted him immediately, "Ayun was attacked?"
The voice-over sighed: "Yes. His old injuries have not healed, and he has suffered new injuries. Now he is wandering on the edge of life and death and cannot wake up."
Yan Qiu sat there blankly, his blue eyes blinking a few times, as if he still couldn't believe it.
"According to the patrolling law enforcement officers, it did not see the attacker, but before being attacked, Ayun only had time to say a word."
"What words?"
"He said, 'Why are you here? I haven't seen you for a while. Is your injury getting better?'"
Yan Qiu was stunned - she wanted to say something and opened her mouth several times, but nothing came out.
"The first is an acquaintance, the second is that we haven't seen each other for a while, and the third is that this acquaintance is injured." The voice-over said leisurely, "The only people who meet these three points at the same time are you and Gao Lang; and yesterday, we were at the governor's residence
A skeleton was found in the drainage ditch outside that was too burned to be identified...and after a thorough search, no one in Yunshou Nine Cities was missing."
Yan Qiu burst out with a sharp gasp - "It's Gao Lang! Gao Lang was killed?"
The scene became quiet again.
After a while, the voice off-screen said softly: "Gao Lang's first reaction was that Yan Qiu had been killed."
After a brief moment of silence, Yan Qiu shook his head desperately: "I - he - no, this is so wrong - it's hard for me to believe it!"
"If one of us is an AI, wouldn't you know if you just get an X-ray or something, or cut open the skin and take a look?" Yan Qiu's eyes were filled with anger and glistening: "Go quickly.
! Go get the knife, I'm not afraid of pain, and neither is Gao Lang - and, unless the chief officer tells me personally, I won't believe your lies!"
"The Commander-in-Chief will naturally come. As for your method... for some reason, we can't do it." The voice-over said slowly, "After all, you may be AI, I can't tell you everything... But you
There is a 50% chance that you can fool us, so please try your best."
"Stop talking nonsense! Don't treat me as an AI!"
The first day's video ended with the girl's angry scream.
In the video the next day, Chief Executive Yun Qian appeared with several law enforcers. He comforted Yan Qiu, repeated what he said yesterday to her, and encouraged her to find a way to prove her identity——"
I believe in you, Miss Yan Qiu, your eyes are shining with the light of human integrity. But I can't let you go because of this, I hope you can understand my difficulties."
Yan Qiu's face was filled with tears. He nodded and said with choked sobs: "Is it really Gao Lang... He is really dead... No, he won't die..."
The chief officer sighed deeply, and regardless of the objections of the person outside the screen, he walked over and held her hand tightly. Yan Qiu's sobs suddenly became louder. The chief officer let go quickly, and before leaving, he
He told her: "Let her be as comfortable as possible - her bones will become stiff after sitting like this for a day!"
In the next five days of video recording, every day, the voiceover tortured Yan Qiu and asked whether there was anything wrong with Gao Lang's behavior.
day7
"I...I've said it many times, I really can't remember..." Compared to the first day, Yan Qiu's voice was extremely weak. She had already removed most of the bandages - but Yan Qiu did not let this happen.
Revealing her original appearance. She was almost inhuman and ghostlike at the moment, as if she could die at any moment.
Her sofa was adjusted to tilt backwards, and it was indeed a little more comfortable than before.
"Please, let me sleep for a while." The movement of her eyes turned dull and astringent; her lips were already chapped, and every word she begged for was breathless: "Just ten minutes... I really feel the pain."
No more."
"I'm sorry," the voice-over said sincerely, "depriving you of sleep is also one of the ways we identify AI. When you prove your innocence, I will definitely let you have a good rest."
"Fuck you!"
Yan Qiu suddenly cursed, but her strength seemed to be only enough for these words; panting, she rested for a long time, and then said intermittently: "Where is the Chief...I, I want to see you
Chief Commander, he...he will definitely not allow it...I haven't slept for six days..."
"He is very busy. Besides, what are you going to say when you see him? Do you want to tell Mr. Yun Qian that you have been of no help to us during this time?"
Yan Qiu was silent, his eyes rolled over unconsciously, revealing the whites of his eyes, as if he was about to faint. The man off-screen gave an order, and a law enforcer walked up, blocking the screen with his body. When the law enforcer walked away,
After a few seconds, Yan Qiu once again had a hysterical look on his face, and he opened his eyes filled with red bloodshot eyes.
The voice-over said calmly: "Your friend has not woken up to this day, and may always be a vegetative state. When you see him, what should you say to the unconscious Ayun?"
A strange sound came from Yan Qiu's throat, it sounded like crying or laughing, but it didn't sound like human language.
The scene went quiet.
"I...I really don't know..." Yan Qiu was still numb when she spoke, and tears slowly oozed from the corners of her eyes. But it seemed that even she didn't realize that she was crying.
The voice-over sighed, and then there was the sound of turning pages. "At 9:40 pm on May 13th, when we didn't start surveillance, Gao Lang came out of your room after talking for three hours.
Yes. I have compiled the content of these three hours of conversation. Listen and see if there are any mistakes. Maybe it will help you remember something."
Yan Qiu slowly turned his head, his hair making a rustling sound on the sofa.
Her slightly blue eyes were filled with deathly gray.
"Was... Gao Lang told you?"
day12
"Good morning. Are you sure about what you told me last night?" the voiceover asked calmly.
"I... I think so..." Yan Qiu opened a pair of lifeless eyes and stared straight at the ceiling. Compared with four or five days ago, she looked much calmer today - perhaps I should say
, much more numb.
As if some internal power supply had been cut off, there was nothing but confusion on her face, and her voice had no fluctuation. Every time she blinked, it seemed that she had to use all her strength to open her eyelids again.
"Okay, then we finally found an area of disagreement between you and Gao Lang." The voice-over seemed to be a bit sighing, "I have to say, you are really not an easy person to work with.
"
Yan Qiu leaned back on the sofa without saying a word. If her eyes weren't still open, people might think she was asleep or dead.
"However, Gao Lang has already raised several questions about your remarks. First, he said that he had never proposed to you to visit Ayun. He said that it was you who suggested this. Second, he said
You were not in your room for a while on the afternoon of May 10th. He looked for you twice but failed to find you..."
Yan Qiu's eyes slowly turned towards the camera, so slowly that it seemed as if every time she turned a little, her eyes would make a dry "click" sound.
"Gao Lang... he said I was suspicious?" She seemed to be too tired and her energy was completely exhausted, so she only had a look of numbness on her face: "If... he said I was missing... then he must be AI...
"
"why?"
"We were together at that time..." Yan Qiu said word by word. If Gao Lang is an AI, then it means that Gao Lang is really dead; but I don't know if she has forgotten or no longer has the energy to care about others.
, she fell into silence after saying this.
"How can we prove this?"
day15
"Miss Yanqiu, Gao Lang is here."
As these words rang out, the screen also lit up.
Yan Qiu was not tied up today. She was wearing a light blue long nightgown and lay motionless on the sofa. Only fifteen days had passed, and she no longer looked like a sixteen-year-old girl.
; Pieces of dry and broken hair fell on the armrests of the single sofa, and her body was shriveled, as if it had shrunk into a skeleton in her nightgown. If she were said to be fifty years old, some people would probably believe it.
Gao Lang could barely walk. A tall, almost shockingly thin man was held in the middle by two law enforcers and dragged into the room step by step. There was nothing binding him on Gao Lang——
Judging from their physical condition, they were completely unable to put up any resistance.
Such a tall boy almost didn't make a sound when he was thrown into the second single sofa.
"I hope you two can confront each other, clear things up for us, and seek justice for your friends."
The two didn't even look at each other.
The door slammed shut.
day16
"Is it you?" Yan Qiu's murmuring voice rang in the early morning when the clock had just turned to the sixteenth day. "Admit it...go and tell them...you are AI...let me
sleep……"
Gao Lang leaned back on the sofa and said nothing.
"Why..." Water slowly seeped out of the corners of Yan Qiu's eyes. "Why is this like this..."
The screen went silent.
Every thirty minutes, law enforcement officers would come into the room to check whether they were asleep, and would continue to use unknown methods to ensure that they could not fall asleep. Fast forward to the video, and the law enforcement officers left for the fifth time.
At this time, there was finally a sound in the room.
That sound didn't look like it could be made by a human being at all. After a while, Yan Qiu opened his eyelids sluggishly and looked at the source of the sound.
"I...I believe it's not you." Gao Lang struggled for a while before finally uttering a clear sentence.
Yan Qiu looked at him blankly, his eyes seemed to be out of focus.
"I can feel...it's you. I know you." He said slowly, and as he spoke more and more, he seemed to have regained a little energy. "I'm not AI either...do you believe me?"
Yan Qiu said nothing.
"Yesterday, one of the things they gave me... didn't work." Gao Lang said in a low voice, his high cheekbones casting a shadow. "I slept... for a few minutes... and figured it out. Not at all, not at all.
ai…”
"Then... why..."
"I don't know," Gao Lang turned his eyes weakly, "but... we have to escape. Now is the chance."
The conversation between the two became lower and lower, and the camera could only capture the muffled sound of breathing. Although she had no physical strength left at all, after a while, Yan Qiu struggled to sit up slowly; she seemed to move as soon as she moved.
She would feel dizzy, so just a simple action of standing up from a chair would cause her to stop more than ten times, and even almost fall to the ground several times.
But no matter what, she finally got up - after suffering from so many days of fatigue, Yan Qiu actually sobbed again; she moved closer to Gao Lang and whispered: "I'm sorry...
…sorry."
"It's not your fault, you're just too tired."
Gao Lang couldn't help but feel sadness in his eyes - he put a hand on Yan Qiu's back and rubbed it feebly. Yan Qiu nodded and stopped moving.
When she lowered her head again, she found that her chest was gradually spreading blood red.
Those slightly blue eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief, and they did not close until she was completely dead. Gao Lang dipped his hand in hot human blood, threw himself at the door, and used a strength that he didn't know where to come from.
, shouted hoarsely: "I killed ai, I killed ai! She is dead! Let me go -"
The door creaked open.
The familiar voice sounded outside the screen: "Ah...she is really dead. But this just means that she is not an AI, Mr. Gao Lang. It seems that it can only be you."
Gao Langmu froze on the spot.
In the following content, as the camera was slammed against the wall, it broke into countless pieces and splashed all over the floor. Half of the young man Ayun's face was twisted up, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
, as if it was about to shake to pieces.
Just as he was about to step out of the door, a loud sound suddenly sounded outside the house. I don't know how many people shouted at the same time, and even the window lattice shook.
When the young man heard clearly the overwhelming shouts outside, his body gradually stopped shaking.
"Give me back my commander-in-chief! Give me back my commander-in-chief! Get rid of the scum! Get rid of the scum!"
