Abnormal Doomsday Records

Chapter 40 40. Cruel Robots' Mutual Aid Program
Faced with Zhou Ke and Wu Neng's endless curiosity, the white-haired robot who had just explained was actually wondering in her heart. Her logic circuit was running at a high speed and was almost smoking. She was trying to analyze Zhou Ke's facial expressions to see if this guy was playing dumb.

But after several consecutive facial capture analyses, the conclusion was that Zhou Ke was indeed in a state of curiosity at this time.

If even micro-expressions can be faked so naturally, then this human being in front of us can definitely win more than a dozen golden statues easily.

But she still retained some doubts.

"You mean you helped the organic hunters win a stunning victory in Fort End, causing at least thousands of Tiger Nation soldiers to die in the disaster. Are you really not accomplices of Fort Rust?"

After Zhou Ke explained, the robot still being controlled said hesitantly:
"But how is this possible? According to my logical analysis, without the intervention and assistance of Rust Castle, you would never be able to escape from Tiger State!

And the aircraft that appeared at the critical moment and took you out of danger! If it wasn't a means of retreat arranged in advance by Rust Castle, how could it appear in such a fatal situation by such a coincidence?

Are you still going to tell me that all this was an accident?

Don’t treat me like a fool!”

"Uh."

Her sharp question made Zhou Ke blink.

In fact, if you don't know the inside story of old Merck's sudden betrayal and the intervention of the mysterious Han Bin at the last moment, then in the eyes of others, the fact that Zhou Ke and Ajie were able to escape from the Castle of the End despite Wu Qinhu's personal efforts must have involved other major forces.

Considering the awakening virus they spread in Fort End, it is understandable to attribute all this to the involvement of the rebellious robots.

And to be honest, such speculation is more convincing and acceptable to ordinary people than the bizarre truth, after all, the chain of evidence and logic are perfect. But again, Zhou Ke doesn't even know where Rust Castle is, so how can he get in touch with Mechanical Titanium?

"How can this not be explained?"

Zhou Ke scratched his head in annoyance, then glanced at the white-haired robot and snorted.

If I can't explain it clearly, I won't explain it!
I don't owe this stupid robot anything, so I might as well just dismantle it.

Anyway, the secondary enhancement of the Metal Hunter Mask has been completed. If the other party does not cooperate, there is no way to train her into a "mobile charging station" like Ajie. It is not possible to just let her go. Machines are stubborn and extreme. There is no guarantee that this guy will not continue to cause trouble in the future.

Zhou Ke has enough troubles now.

"Are you done? If you are, it's time to send you on your way."

He grabbed Ajie's mechanical spear, pressed the sharp blade against the robot's slender neck, and said:
"Now, tell me your last words. By the way, tell me where Professor Qiaosna's grave is. If I have the chance in the future, I will send your remains there so that you and your daughter can be reunited."

"Thank you."

The white-haired robot said something, she thought about it, shook her head and said:
"I don't have any last words, nor do I need any. Go ahead. The psychic alloy used in this weapon can cut through my scandium alloy armor when infused with psychic energy. It's the perfect weapon to execute me."

"Oh? You know a lot."

Zhou Ke glanced at the battle scarred spear in his hand and said:
"I can understand scandium alloy, which should be a special material similar to titanium alloy, but what is this psychic alloy? Just treat it as satisfying my curiosity."

“Using special ores excavated from various time mazes in the Bad Land, combined with the most advanced scientific and technological means to produce special metals, according to Professor Qiao Sina’s research results, this alloy has both indescribable physical rigidity and extremely excellent energy conduction.

When this weapon is infused with psychic energy, it can resonate with the psychic energy, thus simulating the 'super cutting' effect of high-frequency weapons."

The white-haired robot explained calmly, as if reciting a book:

"Not only the spear in your hand, but also the black straight-blade sword behind you is also made of psychic alloy. If I am not mistaken, the style of that sword should be a high-end imitation of the famous sword 'Kari' collected by the Acholi Consortium.

I'm curious where you got it?

Now that the Mingren Kari has been missing with its owner for more than a year, the collection value of the sword in your hand has increased by at least five times."

"Hmm, I almost forgot that you came from the production line of the Acholi Consortium and you know a lot about the internal affairs of the consortium."

Zhou Ke put down the mechanical war spear in his hand, drew out his own sword, stroked the blade with a unique feel, and asked:
"So, who is the owner of that famous sword?"

"The youngest of the Three Flashes, the third apprentice of Dr. Acholi, the founder of the Acholi Foundation, Dr. Takahashi Santai, who specializes in temporal psychic energy and weapon manufacturing. In addition, the prototype of my type of mechanical guard was designed by Professor Qiaosina and Dr. Takahashi Santai."

The white-haired robot glanced at Zhou Ke and explained seriously:
"Dr. Takahashi Santai is the inventor of psychic alloy. 'Kari' is his family heirloom sword, which he later forged with the purest psychic alloy. It was the first true psychic weapon in the Badlands Era, and like its owner, it is a legend worth recording.

It is said that several years ago, Dr. Takahashi made several replicas of the sword and gave them to high-ranking members of the Shunguang organization. The sword in your hand should be one of them.

This can be confirmed by looking at the number on the hilt of the sword."

"There really is."

Zhou Ke checked the sword's guard as instructed, and sure enough, he found a string of inscriptions of unknown meaning inside. Only then did he understand the past and present of this weapon he had stolen from Han Bin.

If we are to follow what the white-haired robot girl said, then Han Bin’s true identity is even more worthy of reflection.

"What are the origins of these three guns and this tight protective suit?"

Zhou Ke was like finding a "Wasteland Know-It-All". He placed his weapon in front of her, then pulled up his sleeves to let her see the tight black protective suit he was wearing.

After careful identification, the white-haired robot replied:

"Your firearm is the standard weapon for the senior researchers of the Flash Organization. It is internally referred to as the 'Setsuna' series, which refers to the excellent energy storage speed and deadly accuracy of this advanced energy storage firearm. These weapons are only circulated among the senior members of the Flash Organization. They have excellent performance and excellent workmanship, and are difficult for outsiders to obtain.

But your protective suit has a bigger origin.

It is a protective suit made through nano-level polymer material weaving technology. It has extremely strong protection against bullets and sharp blades, and can even defend against some psychic damage.

But that’s not the most important thing.”

The white-haired robot suddenly stopped talking, as if hesitant to tell her what she had seen.

Under Zhou Ke's gaze, she remained silent until Wu Neng impatiently "knocked" her mechanical mind hard, causing her to scream in pain. Only then did she continue helplessly:

"Most importantly, I read the factory number of your protective suit. It was produced on a production line in the Garden of Eden. It came from outside the earth! So, Mr. Zhou Ke, have you seen anyone from the Garden of Eden recently?"

"Yeah, I might have actually seen the guy from 'Heaven'."

Zhou Ke narrowed his eyes.

He has confirmed Han Bin's identity; that guy is actually an "alien"!
Oh my, now things are getting interesting. How could an alien suddenly appear in the End Castle and rescue Zhou Ke and Ajie at the last moment? Could it be that as he said, he knew the "true origin" of Zhou Ke's body?
This gave Zhou Ke an urge to talk to Han Bin again, however, this did not mean that he would willingly follow the operators sent by the Acholi Consortium.

Han Bin might really be a "pacifist" as he said, but based on what Zhou Ke has seen and heard in the Badlands, the Acholi Consortium is not a kind organization. There are many factions within the large organization. Even if you want to surrender, you have to find the right person, otherwise you can easily become a victim of their internal struggles.

"One last question. When you were describing this, you mentioned the 'Blinking Organization' frequently."

Zhou Ke asked:

"Is that a division of the Acholi Consortium?"

"It is another exclusive system of researchers and scholars. My mother, my master, Professor Qiaosna, was invited to join the Flash Organization several times, but she refused."

The white-haired robot said:

"The master seems to be very afraid of the organization that includes many outstanding scholars. She would rather stay in the secular department of the Acholi Foundation to complete some work that she evaluates as 'mediocre' than get too close to the Flash Organization. Because of this, the master has been regarded as a trustworthy person by the surface governor Mr. Acholi Jr. in the past few years.

But considering that Professor Qiao Sina has fully experienced the collapse of the old civilization, I have enough reason to doubt that the Flash Organization is not a reliable partner, nor a good career plan.

Do you have any other questions?
In fact, you don't have to use this extremely inefficient way of communication. Lord Wuneng has enough ability to copy my memory database.

It can tell you the answers you want to know.”

"Just because it can do that doesn't mean it has to do that."

Zhou Ke shook his head and said:
"After seeing how knowledgeable you are, I also think it's a waste to demolish you here. Don't think I can't see your little tricks! Wu Neng. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do by letting this girl show her "value" in front of me all the time?"

"Of course I advise you to make the best use of it, my dear Joker!"

The next moment, Wuneng's voice replaced the white-haired robot girl's voice, and the shackles on its body were also released. Under Wuneng's control, the slender mechanical body jumped up, turned in a circle on the spot, and performed the graceful movements of a ballerina.

It said to Zhou Ke:
"I have captured a sample of the awakening virus in her mental circuit. I need a lot of computing power to carry out a deeper 'violent disassembly', but you can't find the components I need. It just so happens that this girl's computing power module designed with the highest standards of the Badlands can be used.

Therefore, this machine wants to persuade you to keep her as a temporary external 'pendant' for this machine."

"Is this still possible?"

Zhou Ke raised his eyebrows and said:
"You mean, transplant your body into this guy's body?" "No, no, no, the main body of this machine still needs to stay in your arm. Don't forget, protecting and assisting you is the first priority of this machine. Cracking the mystery of the awakening virus is just its 'leisure entertainment'.

It cannot interfere with the mission of the machine.”

Wu Neng first expressed his loyalty, then explained:
"This machine also knows what you are worried about, but don't be afraid. Her firewall center has been completely destroyed. Currently, it can resist the in-depth erosion of the awakening virus only because this machine constantly rewrites her mental firewall. In other words, this machine has now replaced her firewall core to protect her mind.

As long as she still maintained her basic rational circuits, she knew not to anger this machine.

In addition, this machine has rewritten the obedience algorithm in her thought circuits. Although it cannot replace Professor Qiao Si Na, the 'first master' who has the obedience program physically written into her, this machine can set you as the 'second master' of this robot.

This way, she will obey your instructions.

However, the awakening virus has broken down her basic mental constraints after all. After she developed her own personality and character, she might have her own understanding of orders. Therefore, you'd better not let her perform some important tasks. It's better to keep her by your side as a guard.

This machine guarantees that she will not try to take you out again.

But because of Professor Qiao Sina's death, she must have some resentment towards you.

But I think with your eloquence that can drive old Merck crazy, it is not a problem to fool a robot that has just been born with intelligence.

The last reason, hehehe."

Wu Neng laughed in a very vulgar way, and then controlled the white-haired robot girl to get closer to Zhou Ke, and whispered to him in a very seductive manner while putting his arm around his shoulder:
"As your personal assistant, in addition to always paying attention to your physical health, your mental health is also an area that this machine must intervene in. In the absence of professional tools to provide you with psychological counseling and mental assessment, it is necessary to use some "external therapies" to help you get rid of unhealthy emotional depression.

The machine has said that this machine is a rare full bionic mimicry.
Hey, don't show such contemptuous expression.

Just think of it as a fully automatic, fully simulated Fiji cup that can handle all kinds of sex positions and clean itself, so you don’t burst from suffocation.”

"You dirty fellow, stay away from me! I am a gentleman, do you understand? I am a student of the Spring and Autumn Annals! Don't touch me, you dirty fellow, it's disgusting! Disgusting!!!"

Zhou Ke pushed it.

But Wu Neng changed his attitude to a serious one and said to him:
“This machine is really not kidding!

The increased intracranial pressure during your two previous hallucinations is a serious health hazard, Joker. Even professional medical personnel cannot help you quickly treat such fatal symptoms, but this machine has observed that when your intracranial pressure increases, the hormone secretion in your body will also surge due to the disorder of your body functions.

This means you can use some unconventional methods to 'de-stress'.

Although it sounds ungentlemanly, believe me, if you don't want the pressure inside your brain to continue to rise and eventually explode, you should be good and listen to the machine. The machine will not harm you, so what are you afraid of?
I know you dislike this damaged bionic skin, but it doesn't matter. Once we find the robot warehouse of the Acholi Consortium, we will immediately start replacing it.

Even the face and body can be changed freely.

In fact, without considering emotional factors, this kind of fully mimicking bionic robot is the most suitable companion for humans. After all, your XP is notoriously wild and depraved. "

"It's enough!"

Zhou Ke waved his hands and said:

"You've said so much, but you just want to find a 'remote clone' for yourself, right? Do you think I'm useless because I've been saying you're useless? Don't be like that, Wu Neng. I just have a bad mouth, you know, sometimes I can't control my viciousness and will ridicule everything around me, but that doesn't mean I really hate you.

I don't mean to dislike you at all, on the contrary, you have been of great help."

"Well, there's nothing wrong with you saying that."

Wu could see Zhou Ke suddenly started an "emotional offensive". He snorted, rubbed his forehead with his fingers while controlling the white-haired robot girl, and said with a puzzled expression:

"Actually, there is another reason. It's because of this machine. The database was blocked, causing it to lose its memory. But it does have a strange feeling that when it was accompanying the previous user, it should have had a similar mode.

A body that can move freely!

That is the complete form of the machine. The tablet you see now is just one of the many modules of the machine. The core one can be understood as the brain of the machine."

"what?"

Zhou Ke said in shock:

"So, you were actually dismembered? I was walking around the Badlands with a robotic brain soaked in formalin? That's fucking horrifying!"

"Can you please stop being so active sometimes?"

Wu Neng said helplessly:

"How can a robot's behavior be called dismemberment? This machine may have encountered an unexpected situation, causing it to be separated from its body and exist in this fragile way. This is most likely related to the last experience of the previous user.

This machine will definitely unlock the database and find the truth!
But before that, the machine must first adapt to the feeling of controlling a combat individual, so as to avoid being unable to use it when it really finds its body again, which would be troublesome.

That’s all I have to say.

This machine is about to be imprinted with 'data imprint'.

You stay here, the process will take about fifteen minutes, and a copy will be left in the mind of this robot girl, so that at the critical moment, the machine can immediately seize control of her body to avoid any bad things. "

"Well, whatever you like."

Zhou Ke nodded, sat back down against the wall of the ruins, lit a cigarette for himself, threw a few energy bars to Ajie, and then watched Wu Neng's performance with great interest.

There wasn't really much to perform.

The data transfer is done in an encapsulated form. No matter how good his eyes are, can he still see the string jumping? Wouldn't that be a monster?

About fifteen minutes later, as the energy-enhancing device began to make a beeping sound, the white-haired robot girl in front of him also opened her eyes.

She stood up, moving her arms, glanced at Zhou Ke, and the single-molecule folding knife on the side of her arm popped out, but under Zhou Ke's calm gaze, she put it back after moving it a few times.

"Figured out?"

He asked while blowing smoke rings, and the latter nodded silently and said:

"Mr. Wu Neng has opened its data records to me. The facts prove that I have wronged you. You have nothing to do with Rust Castle. What you did in the End Castle was to escape. Therefore, my real enemy is not you, but Rust Castle! And the Awakening Fire.
But you still bear the unshirkable responsibility for the death of Professor Qiao Sina, so if you are willing to help me complete the "final revenge", then I am willing to temporarily obey all your instructions as I obey my master.

After multiple calculations, my repaired rational circuit has come to the conclusion that with your help, my chances of completing my revenge can be increased by at least 5%!"

"Only a 5% increase? If we round it up, wouldn't it be 1%? Your ridicule of me has dealt a severe blow to my fragile self-esteem. And I can't agree to you! After all, I know nothing about Rust Castle and Awakening Fire.

The information coming out of your mouth is not worthy of trust. All your opinions are shaped by the engineers of the Acholi Consortium."

Zhou Ke admired the roller coaster-like expression changes on the face of the white-haired robot girl who didn't know how to hide her emotions. He thought it was very interesting. After the other party showed a clear expression of disappointment, he stretched out his voice and shook his head and said:
"But then again, if I confirm that Rustburg is my enemy in the future, then I am fully willing to cooperate with you."

"This is enough."

The white-haired robot girl gave a stiff smile that was creepy enough to produce the uncanny valley effect. This might be the first time she had a "sincere" smile.

she says:

"Thank you and Master Wu Neng for your help. I have recovered from the disaster of the awakening virus. I will fight for you until the arrival of destruction and dismantling."

"Very good, I'm happy to see that besides Ajie, I have another powerful helper."

Zhou Ke looked at the white-haired machine and asked one last question:
"So, what should I call you? You know, in the human world, names are very important."

"D-4! You can call me that."

"Oh? Why is it this and not the name of Professor Josna's daughter? I believe that's what the professor usually calls you."

"Because... because Master Wu Neng showed me the cruel truth. No matter how hard I try, I can never become the real 'Ivy'.

I am just a tool for Professor Qiao Sina to escape from despair. I am willing to call that kind lady mother, but I don't want to continue to tarnish the name that symbolizes beauty, especially after I gradually understood this kind of feeling that is so beautiful that it makes people yearn for it, but so sad that it makes people cry.

D-4 is my number in the assembly workshop.

This is my real name, the name of a robot.

So please call me that, please."
