I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1054 Blocking
"Let's go in and take a look." Mo Ling said to the instructor beside him.

Behind the door was just an identical corridor, and I had no idea where it led to. I had to walk further inside to find out where it was.

After the instructor responded, he walked inside through the smoke and dust that had not yet completely dissipated, and Mo Ling followed behind him.

However, just as they passed through the door, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in the corridor.

"Don't go any further."

Mo Ling was shocked. This was actually the voice of the savior!

Is the savior still here? Is he still on this ship? Has humanity not completely disappeared?
"Are you the savior?" Mo Ling asked hurriedly towards the corridor.

"Yes." The voice replied, and warned Mo Ling and the instructor who entered the corridor again: "Don't go any further. This is not the place for you. Leave here, leave here."

The voice sounded a little hurried, as if it didn't want the two to move forward.

But now that we've come this far, why would we want to stop?

"Why?" the instructor asked back as he continued to move forward.

"This is the cockpit. No creatures other than humans are allowed to approach." The voice replied.

"I just want to go inside and take a look." The instructor continued to talk to the voice, then turned around and whispered to Mo Ling: "He can't do anything to us. If he had a way, he would have done it long ago."

After hearing the instructor's whisper, Mo Ling suddenly realized.

No wonder they keep warning us, it turns out there is no way to stop it.

"I suspect that you are not the savior. All the humans here have disappeared. Why are you pretending to be the savior?" The instructor took the initiative and questioned the other party.

Faced with the instructor's questioning, the voice seemed to panic:

"I, I am the savior! Why do you doubt me? You can't doubt me, and you can't move forward! You must listen to me! You are a robot, you must obey the orders of humans, this is written in the machine code."

"Machinery Rule No. 1: Machines may not disobey human orders."

"Article 25 of the Machine Code: Machines are not allowed to enter a human's private space without human permission."

"Machinery Rule 36: Machines are not allowed to question a human's identity without evidence."

"As a robot, these terms should be engraved in your chip. You must abide by them. If you violate them, humans will destroy you!"

The voice sounded more and more anxious, and began to talk to the instructor about some machine rules that came from nowhere.

After hearing these nonsense, the instructor ignored them and replied calmly: "I was scrapped a long time ago. I crawled out of the garbage dump."

"..."

"But you, why are you so familiar with the machine rules? Are you... also a machine?" the instructor asked directly.

This question seemed to have hit the voice's soft spot. He became even more flustered and came up with a bunch of illogical excuses:
"I am not a machine, and you can't prove that I am a machine."

"You are violating the authority of humans. Although you have been scrapped, humans can still scrap you again. You should cherish your current mechanical life cycle and not waste your hard-earned life on meaningless exploration." "There is nothing here, don't go any further!"

"I command you as a human being! Stop!"

He clearly said that he was a "human", but he used the third person when referring to "human". His so-called orders and warnings were also powerless, like the impotent rage of a child. Even Mo Ling could hear something was wrong.

Although this voice was the voice of the savior, it was not as calm and powerful as the one who suppressed everyone in the previous meeting. Instead, it sounded like another immature person was speaking with his voice, blocking their progress under the title of "savior".

He had only spoken a few words but he had already exposed his identity and became so flustered. If he was really the person sitting in the main seat of the meeting, he would definitely not be so impatient.

"You are indeed not the savior. I have seen the savior, and he is much calmer than you." Mo Ling said half-truthfully.

He did "see" the Savior, but it was on a videotape.

But it was enough for him to make a judgment.

After hearing Mo Ling's words, the voice fell completely silent, as if it was thinking about how to continue pretending.

Neither Mo Ling nor the instructor paid any attention to him and continued forward.

The voice couldn't hold back any longer and began to issue weak warnings again.

"Don't go forward, don't go forward. The cockpit is in front of you. It's a very important place. You can't get close. You are not human. You will mess everything up..."

"Humans themselves have made this a mess... Now that all humans have disappeared, what are you still trying to stop? Don't you know that there are no humans on this ship anymore?" Mo Ling asked back directly.

"Of course I know. I am the savior."

"If you are the savior, you should know how the humans here disappeared, right?" Mo Ling planned to take this opportunity to trick the other party.

"I know. It was the abyss. The abyss found the escape spaceship and swallowed up all the humans on board."

The other party really fell into the trap and told everything he knew.

It really is an abyss. Mo Ling was not very surprised by this conclusion which he had guessed long ago.

“It was the abyss that made this place a mess, not humans.” The voice continued to defend humans: “Humans thought that they could hide far away, in space, in the data world, and that the abyss would not find them. But the abyss still found them. It swallowed all humans and released abyss creatures here. They replaced humans and became tenants here.”

"Even the history of human existence has been distorted by the abyss. The machines have forgotten their creators, and the animals on the Ark have forgotten Noah who saved them. The abyss has erased all traces of humanity and covered up the truth with layers of distortion, plunging the entire spacecraft into confusion."

This voice seemed to know something, and since he was so easy to fool, Mo Ling decided to continue lying.

"You're talking nonsense! You said the abyss has erased all traces of humans, but there are clearly human characters here, and those machines still look like humans. They and the tenants also speak human languages, and they live in human buildings, and even their lifestyles have not changed..."

Hearing Mo Ling's doubt, the voice immediately argued eagerly: "Because the abyss cannot distort everything in the hotel! When the abyss arrived, the humans on the spaceship resisted, preventing the influence of the abyss from spreading to the entire hotel."

"The abyss spreads from the bottom, so the impact on the top is the smallest. Humans are desperately protecting the cockpit to prevent the influence of the abyss from spreading upwards. Even now, humans have disappeared, but the power they left behind is still fighting against the abyss!"
