Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 94 The Old City Lord Experiences a Second Spring?

"It's Erica from the Hunter Squad."

Bai Yuetian didn't hide anything. He said frankly, "Erica is cheerful and lively, which suits my taste. She is my first friend on the lighthouse."

"Erica," Morgan murmured.

He could call out the names of all the residents on the lighthouse, including Erica.

As an elite hunter capable of piloting gravity vehicles, Erica's name frequently appeared in Mark's action reports, so he had a better impression of her than of ordinary citizens.

He asked, "That little girl with orange hair?"

Bai Yuetian nodded slightly.

“When I felt nauseous after eating insect cakes, she treated me to the high-class food of the hunters, without considering whether I could afford it. Even after I was classified as a mortal, she did not neglect me.”

Bai Yuetian smiled and said, "It would be best if you could prepare an extra portion of food. If not, I can share it with her."

Share it?
Morgan pictured Bai Yuetian and Erica sharing a steak in his mind.

Bai Yuetian takes a sip, Erica takes a sip, Bai Yuetian takes a sip, Erica takes a sip.
Morgan's old face twitched.

"Don't!"

He said quickly, "I'll prepare a meal for Erica too. You don't need to share it, and there's no need for you to eat together!"

Victor, standing next to him, darted around with his eyes darting about.

"Are you sure there's no problem? Raising cattle on a lighthouse isn't easy, is it?" Bai Yuetian asked hesitantly.

Morgan nodded vigorously: "Mark submitted a detailed operation report. In yesterday's ground operation, you saved the lives of at least twenty hunters. Their value is far greater than a few cows!"

"Alright, then I can rest easy." Bai Yuetian nodded.

He buried himself in his food.

After a while, he slurped down the last bite of pasta, and every plate on the table was so clean it shone.

He stood up: "Thank you for your help."

"I'm leaving now. Please arrange the 0609 matter as soon as possible."

Morgan nodded.

"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely do what I promised you," he replied solemnly.

"Hmm." Bai Yuetian turned and left.

After he left, Victor and Morgan were left staring at each other in the room.

"What should we do if the old town is experiencing a second spring?"

"what can I do?"

At his wife's grave, Gray twisted his neck.

The familiar cracking sound of joints didn't appear; instead, there was an extremely smooth sound of bearings turning.

He joked, "Before, only one arm and one eye were mechanical, but now everything below my head is mechanical. I'm really becoming less and less human."

Just then, a gust of wind brushed past him.

Wind speed: 3.15 m/s

A line of small print appeared before Gray's eyes.

He sighed.

This is why he hates machines and artificial intelligence. If even the free-flowing wind can be quantified, what is truly free?

"Don't talk about yourself like that." A beautiful figure sat down beside him.

"You're still quite handsome, and as strong as you were back then. I really want to hug you."

Gray's wife smiled.

Gray smiled, a touch of tenderness appearing on his resolute face.

He said softly, "ASH is about to cross the threshold of super artificial intelligence. When that happens, you can be resurrected, but I don't know if it will still be you, or if it will be a robot trying to impersonate you."

Gray's wife tilted her head.

“I think it’s great. Isn’t this the consciousness uploading that the Hela Empire has always longed for?” She showed a curious expression.

Gray took a deep breath: "It's just like uploading consciousness. Your body is gone, so ASH can't read your brain. It can only create a completely new you based on your behavioral data."

“In every sense, the newly created you is not you.” Gray’s wife pursed her lips.

After a two-second pause, she asked softly, "So, what do you think of me?"

Her voice was so soft it seemed to melt into the wind.

Gray fell silent.

The projection accompanying him at this moment is also an ASH simulation, and it's a version from many years ago, with a lower level of intelligence than the version Bai Jingyu showed him in the hospital room.

But this projection has been his spiritual sustenance over the years.

Without this projection, he might have given up long ago and left this world with his wife.

“If you can accept me, then you can definitely accept a more perfect me.” Gray’s wife smiled sweetly.

Gray nodded.

He said with a complicated expression, "Bai Jingyu has promised me that when he resurrects 'you' with ASH, he will integrate your memory data into it, so that the reborn 'you' will be dominated by your consciousness."

Gray's wife looked surprised and delighted.

"Thank you, Gray!"

Gray smiled and was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Chief Gray."

“I couldn’t find you at the police station. They said you might have come to this place, and it turns out that’s true.”

Jag came up from behind.

At that moment, Gray's wife's projection began to flicker violently.

Data overload

[Personality Projection Off]

A rational prompt came from under the seat, and the next second, Gray's wife's projection disappeared from top to bottom.

Gray's smile froze.

The version of this projector is too old; to ensure the level of intelligence, it can only run for less than half a minute each time.

Therefore, he cherishes every moment he spends talking to the projection, not wanting to waste a single second.

this time
Gray took a deep breath.

He stood up and turned to look at Jag: "Lord Jag, my body is fine now, so there's no need for me to go to Hela."

A deep chill lurked in Gray's eyes.

Jaeger looked Gray up and down.

"Chief Gray, your cybernetic body is practically garbage, if not completely useless," Jag said with a regretful expression.

"There's no neural response accelerator, right?"

He sighed, "If you were to encounter that assassin again, your fate would probably be the same as last time, but I might not be there to save you."

Jagger paused for a moment.

He lowered his voice and said slowly, "You should already know that the surveillance cameras on the street that day were all hacked, and none of them captured any useful footage."

"Who do you think has such great ability?"

"How could they hack so many cameras in Jiuchuan without being detected by ASH?"

Gray remained silent.

Jag smirked and pressed on, "The assassin also used a top-of-the-line neural reaction accelerator. Coincidentally, His Majesty Helu just gifted Bai Jingyu a top-of-the-line cybernetic body."

"Chief Gray, you're a smart man."

"Jeg said meaningfully."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Gray finally spoke.

Jag laughed.

He stated confidently, "A plot to assassinate the head of the Joint Police Bureau was planned in Hisakawa City. It almost succeeded, and the assassin left no trace."

"I'm afraid only Mayor Bai of Jiuchuan could accomplish this!"
