Fault Utopia

Chapter 74 People

"What?!" Sun Jack, who was in the heavy rain, saw an icon flashing faintly on the cracked screen in the water. It was a left arrow, and the icon flashed a few times and then went out.

Sun Jack looked in the direction of the arrow pointing to the left and found that it was the container truck. The other party was asking him to go back!
"Hilda is still alive?" In an instant, a surge of strength emerged from somewhere in Sun Jack's severely injured body, supporting him as he rushed into the broken container.

After passing through the secret door, all the robots outside stopped moving. Sun Jack shouted in the dim room: "Hilda! Are you still alive! Hilda! Who are you?"

Sun Jack tried desperately to suppress the excitement in his heart at the moment, but just like when he broke through his physical threshold before, he still couldn't control it now.

Sun Jieke shouted loudly in the room that had begun to leak due to the previous battle. He shouted for several minutes. Just when he was about to despair again, a series of voices came from the complex equipment in the chassis that Xiaoting and the other four had operated. "I'm still alive."

Just when Sun Jack's smile appeared on his face, he froze there again with the next sentence. "But I'm sorry, I lied to you. I'm not Hilda."

"You're not Hilda?" Sun Jack slowly turned his head and looked at the machines. "You're not Hilda? You're not Hilda?" With every word, Sun Jack's anger grew stronger. This was still a scam. He was fooled!

"Who are you?" Sun Jack raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the pile of messy screens and electronic devices.

"I am you, and I am yesterday's Sun Jack." The screen next to it slowly lit up, and three faces appeared on it.

When Sun Jack dragged his injured body over, he found that there were three of himself on the screen.

I saw three Sun Jacks' heads overlapping, and finally they became a Sun Jack with six ears and six overlapping eyes.

"I'm you. To be exact, I was copied by Xiaoting%. Yesterday, he secretly backed up three copies of Sun Jack." The other party introduced calmly.

The other party's words stunned Sun Jie Ke. He stood there blankly, unable to wrap his mind around for a while.

"In fact, Xiaoting% left a backdoor in the device from the very beginning. When you first met her, she had already secretly copied your memory, your thinking and your personality."

"Of course, this is not to trick you. This is a normal procedure. Everyone whose memory she has modified will have their personality and memory secretly copied."

"She will store this data here, and then use the fact that there is no concept of time in cyberspace to torture the cloned personalities, intending to squeeze out any useful information from each personality and memory."

After Sun Jack heard this, he finally understood everything. He turned around and looked at the brain beside him and the robot corpses all over the ground.

In all this, he finally understood Xiaoting's true activities. The so-called memory modification was just an appearance. This kind of shady business was their current purpose.

At this moment, Sun Jack finally felt that he was living in the future. Things that were absolutely impossible in the past could now appear in this future world. This technology made him feel fear for the first time.

At this moment, Sun Jack was still talking. "Maybe in your eyes, only a few days have passed, but in my eyes, it has been several months. Xiao Ting has been torturing me with the self-made interrogation software, trying to get all the information about Sun Jack from me. I can't say it."

"So I, along with the other cloned personalities in the database, tried to break through Xiaoting%'s firewall and pass the information to you, because I know that only the real me can save me now."

"Because I knew you cared about Hilda, I used this to lure you to save me, so I could pretend that Hilda committed suicide in the end and force you to use your potential. I know everything you know," Sun Jack said across the screen, looking at himself outside the screen with a complicated expression. He didn't expect that he just lay down on the recliner, and when he woke up again, he came to a digital space. He was reminded by other data memories, and then he realized that there was a real self outside the cyberspace, and he was just a fake one.

At this moment, Sun Jack was also looking at the overlapping images on the screen, and Sun Jack felt mixed emotions for a moment.

Sun Jack had a lot of thoughts in his mind now, but he couldn't say anything. He stood there stupidly for a long time. As an ancient man, he really didn't know how to deal with the high-tech problems of the future, nor did he know how to face himself being copied.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at himself on the screen. "Sun Jack! Fuck you! Can't you just say it directly? Is it fun to lie to yourself?"

"What should I say? If I tell you I am Sun Jack, will you believe me? I might as well say I am Qin Shi Huang!"

Sun Jack slid down slowly against the computer case beside him. His mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this moment, Ta Pai, who had heard everything, walked in and looked at Sun Jack on the screen. Sensing wires emerged from his arms and he quickly tapped on the keyboard, preparing to delete Sun Jack's backup memory.

"Tapai, what are you doing! I am your master!" Sun Jack on the screen suddenly felt a little panicked.

"No, you are not my master, you are just a string of data. Your existence hinders my real master." Ta Pai began to speed up.

As soon as these words came out, Sun Jack on the screen stood there in shock.

But a hand stretched out from the side stopped Ta Pai from taking further action, and another Sun Jack stopped him. "What are you doing? You are killing people!!"

Ta Pai paused, and the camera that was looking at Sun Jack shrank slightly, "He is not a person, he has no body and no brain, he is just a bunch of 0s and 1s that copied your memories and thoughts."

"No." Sun Jack shook his head and looked at himself on the screen again. "He is a human."

"Is a string of data that copies your memories and personality also a person?"

"Correct!"

"Where is the boundary between humans and robot AI?" Tapai asked.

"We are both a string of data that can be replicated, and we both have no body or brain. If he is considered a human, then am I considered a human?"

Tapai pulled back the sensing wires and looked at Sun Jack seriously.

Just as Sun Jack was about to speak, Ta Pai warned him, "Jack, you are redefining what it means to be a human being. This will affect all my future behavior."
