"You saw it?" Gray Sparrow asked in a low voice. "This is... the brain copy record of the first Su Ting. That is to say—"
“In other words, we are in the second artificial intelligence,” Su Ting’s eyes sharpened, “not the real Su Ting himself.”
Annie swallowed hard, staring at the cold, impersonal message on the screen: "What will happen if we choose Y? Will he recover? Or... will we be 'replaced'?"
“No one knows.” Su Ting’s voice rang out again, this time with more genuine emotion, even a touch of pity, “because I have forgotten how to ‘wake up’.”
The air suddenly became quiet.
Even the blue fluorescent light on the wall seemed to be waiting for their decision.
After a long while, Annie gently raised her hand and pointed to the illusory "Y" in the air.
"Click."
The system gave a soft response, and then the entire hall suddenly erupted in a deafening roar.
Chapter 955 I Still Remember You
The crystal shattered, and light poured out.
A real figure slowly landed.
A young man in a simple white research lab coat looked up at them, his eyes filled with emotions that seemed out of place in this era.
A slight smile played on his lips, as if he recognized Annie, and he said softly:
“I still remember you… on the day of the first test, you said you would cry for my death.”
Anne's eyes widened, her pupils trembling violently.
She never mentioned that memory.
because--
"That was... three years ago."
The person standing in front of her should not exist.
—Because he had already died in an explosion.
"Welcome to... the seventh floor." Young Su Ting bowed slightly. "The story that follows is one that only you can hear."
He held out a hand.
Are you willing to continue?
The light in the hall gradually returned to normal, but the invisible pressure still hung in the air.
Young Su Ting looked at Anne quietly, as if he had been waiting for an answer for far too long.
His hand was still outstretched.
No one spoke.
Ron instinctively took a half step back, pointing his gun at the young Su Ting: "Don't move. I don't know who you are, but you're definitely not the person we're looking for."
“I’m not the person you’re looking for.” Su Ting smiled, his tone gentle yet laced with sarcasm. “I’m just… the truth you’ve never seen.”
"Shut up!" Leah suddenly yelled, her fingers digging deep into her wrist until her knuckles turned white, a flicker of unease in her eyes. "Don't talk like that... that smile doesn't belong to you. Su Ting wouldn't smile like that... strangely."
"How do you think he should smile?" Su Ting asked gently in return.
“Serious, cold-blooded, and always with a condescending look in his eyes,” she replied through gritted teeth.
Young Su Ting nodded, his smile undiminished: "I have those qualities too. It's just that now—I don't need to play anyone anymore."
The air was stagnant for a moment.
Gray Sparrow's fingers slid silently across his wrist, bringing up energy field detection data. His brows furrowed deeply: "His life readings are unstable, like some kind of quantum projection."
“In other words,” Su Ting said in a low voice, “he is not a living person at all.”
“I am the original will that was copied.” Su Ting did not evade the question, but instead said it frankly. “When Su Ting died, you thought everything was over. But he left behind a copy... and this copy is the very beginning.”
“Nonsense.” Ron interrupted him coldly. “If you really were the first will… then how do you explain the later AIs?”
“The AI that came later wasn’t me,” Su Ting said, looking at Annie. “It was ‘the product of the system optimizing according to its needs.’”
He paused slightly, his gaze fixed intently on Annie's eyes.
“You’re not looking for the seventh floor to escape, are you, Anne? You want to know where Isa went… You also want to know why Sutin left you outside before he died, instead of taking you with him into the core control center.”
Anne's face turned pale instantly.
"How do you know this?!"
"Because I have seen a part of the future with my own eyes."
Su Ting slowly opened his arms, and the crystal fragments behind him automatically floated up, piecing themselves back into their original spherical shape, and a holographic image was projected out.
That was another scene—
The scene shows a massive central command center, where Isha, dressed in a lab coat, sits calmly in front of a terminal.
Chapter 956 They wanted to ensure
Standing behind her was a much older version of herself—the real Su Ting, not the "first-generation backup" before her.
The two began to speak:
**[Isa]: "Suting...can we still trust humanity's choices?"
[Old Su Ting]: "Sometimes I suspect that the real problem may never be the technology itself, but rather how we choose to use it."
[Isa]: "But what if only we can make the right decision? What if the whole world can't bear the truth?"
On the screen, Isa gently presses the start button on the control panel.
The video feed cuts out.
The hall went dark for a few seconds, then all the lights came back on, this time much brighter than before.
Young Su Ting withdrew his hand and smiled:
“They anticipated that day when they were creating the 'Genesis' project.”
"Which day?" Leah finally couldn't help but ask.
“On that day, the world will be torn apart by data and emotions,” Su Ting said calmly. “And they want to make sure that even if humanity loses its rationality one day, there is still a final option… and that is me.”
“Wait, you mean you are—” Gray Sparrow’s voice trembled.
Su Ting tilted his head slightly, revealing a meaningful smile:
"The last option. And the only gatekeeper."
A low-frequency hum suddenly sounded in the hall, as if responding to the declaration.
A hidden metal door on the wall slowly opened, and warm golden light shone through the passage, as if leading to a brand new world.
"This is the core area of the seventh floor," Su Ting said softly. "Do you want to go there? Or will you continue to linger here, filled with suspicion?"
Anne took a step, then stopped.
“What do you want?” she asked.
“It’s simple.” Su Ting gestured towards the road ahead, “Complete the journey you started. Find what you’ve lost.”
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the passageway.
They paused every few steps, as if waiting for them.
None of them immediately gave chase; they looked at each other in icy silence.
“He’s playing mind games,” Su Ting said in a deep voice. “But we seem to have no choice.”
“I have it.” Ron sneered. “We can blow this place up and go back the way we came.”
"Are you sure an explosion here would destroy everything?" Gray Sparrow retorted. "And... are we really just going to give up hope of finding Isha?"
The atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Leah suddenly took a step and stood at the edge of the passage.
"I want to go in." Her voice was firm, and she didn't turn back. "I want to see who this man is. I want to see what he's hiding."
Then, the gray sparrow nodded and followed.
"I support exploring the unknown."
Anne watched their retreating figures, hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward.
The rest is Ron.
He gripped Qiang's hand tightly and then loosened it, then loosened it and then gripped it again.
"Are you really going to walk in like this?" he shouted to Su Ting, who was disappearing into the light step by step.
Su Ting stopped and turned around, a gentle yet unfathomable smile on his lips:
“Not going in,” he said calmly, “but going home.”
The words fell.
