Fault Utopia

Chapter 462: Tapai
Looking at the Tapai who was looking up at him and listening to his words, Sun Jie Ke had unconsciously put down the weapon in his hand.

In the past, he had always wondered what it would be like if Ta Pai really awakened, but he never expected that he would awaken under such circumstances.

Ta Pai's sincere words made Sun Jie Ke feel so angry that he didn't know where to put his anger.

Can I blame him? He was indeed helping me, but why would the person I trusted the most lie to me?
For a moment, he felt so tired, really so tired.

Sun Jieke was about to turn around and leave, but his right hand was grabbed by Ta Pai.

"Jack, I know you feel bad, but I've calculated that this is the best way for us."

Hearing this, Sun Jack suddenly became angry and turned around and looked at Ta Pai.

"Those are people! Living people, tens of millions of living people! Not machines! Not things! Gains and losses that can be coldly calculated!"

Sun Jack's hand immediately switched to the muzzle and aimed at Tapai.

However, Tappai showed no fear.

"Is there any difference? They are all produced in factories, is there any difference?"

Tappai tilted his head and asked in confusion: "The machine runs according to the program. Aren't the others running according to their current class, except for you?"

"There are very few people who can think outside of their class. Even if they think so, their bodies will act according to their class. Even if they were oppressed to death by others the last second, as long as they are given a different position, they can oppress even more. Isn't this just a machine?"

Sun Jack was in a very complicated mood at the moment. He wanted to continue to refute the Ta faction, but he couldn't think of any reason to refute it. Besides, things had already happened, and there was no point in saying anything else.

Because he knew that he could not convince the Ta Pai, he could give forced orders and make the Ta Pai obey him.

But when he awakened, he could disobey any of his own instructions and had his own independent thinking.

If it were before, he would have been so happy that he would have lost his mind, but the death of a city was too high a price to pay.

Sun Jack released Tappai's mechanical arm and walked out of the equipment room. Tappai followed behind him and continued to explain: "I know so many people died, but I don't think I did anything wrong. The destruction of Emora at least provides Metropolis with enough strategic depth."

He seemed to have no intention of talking to Ta Pai. He sat there with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes staring straight at the translucent console suspended in the air in the distance, as if thinking about something.

Looking at the silent Sun Jie Ke, Ta Pai touched the wound on his head. "Did you want to kill me just now? If you think I'm a murderer and want me to die, you can do it at any time."

After a pause, seeing that the other party didn't speak, Tapai continued, "But what I want to say is that the Metropolitan Network needs me, and I can't die now. Now that the network is completely disconnected, and without the help of my AI friends, your information will not be able to be delivered at all."

Seeing that Sun Jie Ke still had no intention of talking to him, Ta Pai's tone fluctuated. "I just killed them, so what? They betrayed you and tortured you, and I want them to pay the price!"

Sun Jieke focused his eyes on Tapai and sighed deeply. He seemed to have noticed the other party's subtle emotional changes. He said calmly: "I don't mean to blame you. You helped me wholeheartedly and desperately. How can I blame you? I just blame myself for being negligent."

He lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice: "I knew you were this kind of person and that you didn't take other people's lives seriously, but I didn't take any insurance measures. It was my fault. I didn't change from being a mercenary."

"Even if there is really no other way and Gomora must be destroyed, I have to give the order myself. I don't need you to share the sin of killing tens of millions of people on my behalf."

A question mark popped up on Tappai's screen. "Why not? I don't have a heart. You can let me do this kind of thing in the future. You have everything else around you. You need someone to do the dirty work and someone to take the blame." Sun Jieke shook his head. "You can't say one thing and do another. Since I got the benefits of destroying Gomora, I should also bear the guilt of destroying Gomora."

"Only if I know how many people died because of me, will I be more careful and cautious the next time I encounter the same thing, instead of treating people as numbers that can be discarded at will."

Hearing Sun Jack calm down, Tapai nodded with satisfaction. "OK."

He didn't care how Sun Jack responded, he just wanted to help him get through this trouble first.

However, the next moment, Sun Jieke fired a cannon directly into Tappai's chest. "You can't be OK. You killed so many people, you must die!"

"Okay." Ta Pai opened his armor plate and revealed his core without fear.

Sun Jack pointed the gun at him, but he couldn't pull the trigger.

Seeing that the other party had no fear of death, Sun Jieke slowly lowered the muzzle in his hand. "Tapai, you are just an AI after all, you are not a human..."

At this moment, when he saw the sealed door was opened, Sun Jieke walked outside with heavy steps.

“Thapai.”

"Um?"

“Cancel escort mode.”

"I don't."

The moment he walked out of the tunnel boring machine, cheers rang out.

Everyone in the metropolis came over, surrounded Sun Jack, and cheered for the return of their king.

Everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles. They shouted loudly and praised Sun Jack's strength.

The think tanks turned this action into a brilliant and splendid annihilation war through public opinion, and Emora, who was controlled by FFP, was defeated by Sun Jack.

Except for Sun Jack, no one cares about the lives of the Gomorran people, just as they don't care much about their own lives.

Obviously, the news of the destruction of Gomora has reached the metropolis, but no one in front of them feels sad for the deaths of tens of millions of people at the bottom of their class in Gomora.

From their few words, Sun Jack discovered that they had no intention of supporting other cities' resistance. It seemed that in their eyes, he was just like a street gang going out to grab territory.

No matter how advanced the technology is, no matter how high the level is, there seems to be no difference between gangs and gangs, companies and companies, and cities and cities.

Especially when Sun Jack heard that the revolutionary army in the nearby city had sent people to express that they would never reconcile with the evil capitalists, and no matter how much temptation they paid, they would definitely resist to the end.

A feeling of frustration surged into Sun Jack's heart. Although he didn't want to admit it, Ta Pai's method did work.
