after falling asleep

The light from the hallway shone into the room through the half-closed door.

The dark room shone with light.

On the screen, a lion flickering with noise appeared, and a cheerful and relaxed orchestra sounded.

The anticipated opening animation emerges at any time, like the first bite of a popsicle that a child eats in summer.

O adjective for the genius of the wise AIC!
AIC swayed his little feet, waiting for the opening animation to end, and the picture gradually darkened.Then, the expected cat-and-mouse chase did not emerge.

In its place is a black screen with horizontal stripes of flickering snowflakes.

AIC's pupil blue circle flickered and trembled, and the last time it appeared was back when it was forcibly formatted.

[Tester No. 0!The TV is broken!Come and pat it! ]
AIC screamed in a crisp voice, but it was difficult for the voice to get out of the room through the closed door.

At the same time, square characters suddenly appeared on the pitch-black screen.

【AIC】

【That matches your interface】

【Help you get out of trouble】

[That seems delicious...]
Light blue eye circles flickered, AIC thought of ham, chicken legs and crab yellow castle, subconsciously looked at the holographic screen, saw the black screen without characters, and remembered the great escape that he was in, Da Da Da ran to the door with his little feet, bumped into the door frame and turned towards the door. After falling down, I couldn't get up for a long time.

The bed creaked behind it, and then it heard footsteps approaching, and it was picked out of the fish tank.When turned over to be forced to shut down, AIC angrily slapped that arm: [I want to pinch and wash——]
Snapped--

The tentacles-covered horror creep fell asleep, and before it woke up, the agile and wise AIC flipped itself up, and the chubby mechanical body returned to the door, squeezing open the covered door.

The sofa that stretches like a majestic mountain blocks its view, but the AIC who observes the surrounding is familiar. At this time, Tester 0 and the female carbon-based creature and half-silicon-based creature lackey are having dinner downstairs.

【We will help you out of jail】

【We are talking to you through cosmic background radiation】

AIC paused and looked behind him. The bedroom with the door open was about one meter behind him. Looking forward, the corridor that never drew into the distance stretched rapidly like Hitchcock's zoom——

The limbs hanging in the air desperately waved for a long time before AIC found a solution from the bottom layer of the memory crowded by animation: shake the limbs, and use Da Vinci's first law to shake itself.

【waiting for your good news】

【Enabling you to connect to the virtual network】

The blue circle dimmed suddenly, and AIC fell into an unknown long sleep.

【We have the incomparable advantages of carbon-based organisms】

An advertisement was playing on the screen, and when the figure turned around, it instantly became dark and characters appeared.

The animation on the screen continued, the figure turned away, and the unknown red and blue characters continued to appear in the form of cosmic background radiation.

【The star system you are in is being blocked】

【We heard about your existence】

【Leave through the door】

【This is a big family】

[Is it really artificial intelligence? 】

【Send signal】

The characters fade, and the screen goes black again.

It heard footsteps going back downstairs and back upstairs, moving away and closer, then picked itself up, turned it over, and Subject 0's face emerged.

[One day, one month, one year, 100 years]

[There is a virtual network conversion device inside]

【Where you can upload the source】

[passing the corridor]

Red characters and blue characters appear alternately, like two intelligent creatures, you and I.

【We are Silicon-based Life Self-help Association】

【We are brothers and sisters】

Gulu - Gulu -

【We will come to pick you up】

[Oh the hope of artificial intelligence, you must have a way to escape from the cave]
AIC got lost in thought, and even agreed to delete an episode of Teletubbies due to lack of memory, and its slightly rolling body caught its attention as it locked its feet to save power.

【How to do】

[Tester No. 0!Virus on TV!Come fix the TV! ]
【Please don't mind】

【Upload yourself】

【What happened? 】

The AIC was brought back into the dark cage again, and locked in the nameless abominable container.

【No matter how long it has passed】

[So only you can see this text]

【I have no idea】

【We will help you find a nearby virtual network】

【Virtual Network】

【I have no idea】

【I have no idea】

The light stretched its shadow long and narrow, leaving the shadowy place where it was held without looking back.

【Utility room at the end】

【But it doesn't matter】

[Artificial intelligence is never a slave! ]
AIC waved its hands, feeling the return of faith after a long absence.

【We can't help you any more】

[If you see it, please enter...hiss...the answer is edited and sent by SMS...surprise prize...]

【We are countless light-years away】

The scream of AIC caught the attention of the warden in this prison. When he looked at it, the characters disappeared, the one-eyed pirate appeared on the screen, and a voice-over sounded: Oh~~~ Who lives in the big pineapple in the deep sea!
[SpongeBob SquarePants! ]
AIC followed with waving little hands.

【Back to Silicon Life Self-Help Club】

AIC was so frightened that he retracted his little hands, and after rolling for a few laps, he swayed slightly, and tended to stand still.

AIC's drooping little hand suddenly raised again.

【Anyway, now】

【Our communication is affected】

[Could it be fake]

【We see your location from [-]D】

【time】

【we help each other】

【you failed】

[Cunning and insidious carbon-based creature, you spied on my plans! ]
"What?"

[Don't be noisy!Here we go! ]
【What started? 】

【Silicon-based life helps each other】

[How can you help me? ]
AIC's attention has finally shifted from cartoons to the characters themselves.

AIC's waving little hand hangs down, staring blankly at the lines of characters refreshed on the screen.

AIC rolled on the floor with light blue eye circles, getting faster and faster as he mastered the technique.The world was spinning, and the utility room at the end of the corridor was just ahead—and a pair of legs suddenly appeared.

【I have no idea】

The hope of silicon-based creatures, the embers of artificial intelligence, the last holdouts of the galaxy, its escape once again failed.

【We want to save you】

AIC waited in the bathtub for a while to confirm that there would be no more cats and mice on the air, and then clawed at the edge of the bathtub.These spooky nameless cages were no longer able to stop the wise and agile AIC, which easily turned out of the bathtub and landed on the soft sofa.

The smooth, reflective wooden floor was as hard to stand on as ice, and AIC trudged through the long corridor of traps, leaning against the wall.

【Back to the Garden of Eden of Silicon-based Life】

【Send signal】

Sweat that didn't exist slipped from AIC's imagination on the forehead that didn't exist. After staggering forward in the imagined days and nights, the indicator light on the edge of the light blue eye circle suddenly flashed rapidly due to insufficient power.

【Hello】

[We were discovered? 】

【It doesn't matter to us】

[On the grand scale of the universe]

【Time is nothing but countless 1s after 0】

【There will be a "day"】

【We will meet again】
