Section 173, page 163: The ingenious uses of a stun gun

As Estya fell into a coma, the parasol she had summoned with magic dissipated into elemental particles in the air. Seeing this, Ling Xue's expression turned grim.

She had initially doubted that the silver-haired girl in front of her might not be the young lady she knew, but the latter had just called her "Sister Ling," which awakened her long-forgotten memories.

Back then, she was a full-time "nanny" who accompanied the young lady as she grew up. The age difference between her and the young lady was at most that of an older sister. When the young lady was still healthy, she always called her Sister Ling.

The young lady was also a pitiful child. The chance of her parents appearing in front of her each year was only 10%. The reason for this data is that the young lady did not see her biological parents for the first time until she was 10 years old, which was also the last time she saw them.

Sometimes Ling Xue wondered if the young lady's parents would never have come to visit her if she hadn't been sick.

The Ai family is a very low-key family. The current head of the family and his wife are the greatest scientists in human history. For them, children are an unexpected product. They have never given the young lady any love from her parents. Instead, they are immersed in endless research and do not care about the young lady.

However, given the Ai family's status in the entire Federation, it was easy for them to hire bodyguards and servants for the young lady and ensure her extremely luxurious life. The servants privately said that the young lady was a beautiful canary who only needed to enjoy life in this world.

Before the young lady fell ill and lost her memory, Ling Xue had the best relationship with her. It was precisely because of this that every time the young lady lost her memory, it was a heavy blow to Ling Xue, eventually numbing her heart.

She could provide the affection the young lady lacked, but she was powerless to help with her illness. As scientists, the young lady's parents should have been researching her illness, but they were still studying unknown things that could break through the bottlenecks of human development, completely ignoring the young lady's situation.

The silver-haired girl lay on the soft grass. Ling Xue bent down, picked her up, and prepared to take her back to the research institute.

The outside world is far too dangerous. Even though the Ai family has kept a low profile, they still cannot avoid being targeted by some evil forces. Just like the previous attack on Ye Qingxian, these extremists will not tolerate any cause that promotes human progress.

Ling Xue suspects that the people who attacked Ye Qingxian and the young lady were the same group or the same organization.

"Madam, you cannot leave now; you must cooperate with our investigation."

The police blocked Ling Xue's way. Some of them were taking pictures of the gunman's body on the ground, while others were searching the vicinity for any other suspicious persons. How could they let Ling Xue, a witness and even an eyewitness, go so easily?

Ling Xue's response was simple: she pulled an ID from her pocket and said, "This is the highest-level federal pass. Use your police terminal to identify it."

"This……"

The lead police officer took out his terminal and scanned the identification code on it.

He then nodded slightly to Ling Xue and waved his hand, saying, "Let them go."

Ling Xue took back the pass, thought for a moment, and said, "Could you send us in your police car? My young lady is an important person."

"no problem."

So Ling Xue and the young lady got into the police car, their destination being the Federal Medical Research Institute.

Sitting in the car, she felt a headache coming on. The news that the young lady had woken up shouldn't have been spread. Everyone in the ambulance that was called after the young lady jumped off the building had quit their jobs, taken a sum of money, and gone off to have fun under assumed names. The Federal Medical Research Institute was highly confidential, and the young lady wouldn't be known to the outside world while she was there.

Unexpectedly, the young lady ran away on her own initiative. Heaven knows how she bypassed the guards. As for the consequences of running away, we now know that the hostile forces had prepared assassins in a short period of time, and there was more than one.

If the young lady hadn't shown her "special abilities," she might very well have met her end here today.

The problem is that the real world is not a novel. People with superpowers are just figments of imagination. Ling Xue, who has a very high level of secrecy, can access secrets that the public cannot know, such as the existence of aliens, even though there are no superpowers in this world.

The young lady was now lying in the back seat of the police car, her chest rising and falling, her breathing very steady, indicating that she was fast asleep.

The police car sped along the highway, with the officer in the front driving attentively, heading towards the Federal Medical Research Institute as instructed by Ling Xue.

The research institute is not located in the city center, but requires a journey along a highway. The modern highway is somewhat like a 21st-century maglev train. Once the car is aligned, it can travel at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour without ever coming into contact with other vehicles and causing a traffic accident.

The police car began to accelerate, but when it had traveled halfway along the magnetic track, its speed suddenly slowed down visibly.

"what happened?"

Ling Xue frowned. In her memory, the car magnetic track had never malfunctioned.

"I don't know, let me see."

The police officer deactivated the autopilot mode and began manually increasing the speed of the police car. However, the onboard system then issued an alarm, indicating that an unexpected problem had occurred and that the car had to be brought to a stop for safety reasons.

"Did something happen to the police car?"

"Strange, this car is new."

The police car's autopilot mode was forcibly activated, and the car was guided to the emergency area next to the magnetic track.

"Fails at the crucial moment..."

In fact, Ling Xue already sensed something was wrong. She secretly reached for the gun strap hidden between her legs, while simultaneously becoming more vigilant and preparing to deal with any potential dangers.

"I called the repairmen and asked them to send someone to take a look."

The police officer took out his phone to make a call, but then heard a beeping sound.

"No signal? That's strange. This isn't the ocean floor, how could there be no signal?"

Noisy!

Suddenly, a crackling sound of electricity rang out, and the policeman screamed and fainted. A hole appeared in the driver's side window, seemingly shattered by an electromagnetic weapon.

Ling Xue immediately drew her gun and pointed it outside, but there was no one there.

"Robbery."

A sweet, delicate voice came from inside, but Ling Xue couldn't see anyone.

"Who is it?! Show yourself!"

"Don't worry, I won't rob you of your money or your virtue, I'll only rob the girl next to you."

"wishful thinking!"

Noisy!

Another crackling sound of electricity rang out, and Ling Xue lost consciousness before she could react.

She had no idea that the attacker was actually standing in front of the car, but because she was too short, her head was not higher than the car window, so she could not see him.

Chapter 174, page 164: Organic Girls Really Exist in the World

The young girl with long white hair was dressed in federal army-style camouflage, and wore sunglasses and a mask, making her extremely well-hidden.

The choice of military uniform had nothing to do with aesthetics; it was simply because the design of the uniform made movement convenient, so she was allowed to use it. However, the serious federal military uniform worn by a girl under the age of eight looked more like cosplay.

She tucked the stun gun into her waistband and silently watched the police car in front of her, a faint stream of data flashing in her eyes.

With a click, the locked car door opened.

"I've finally found you, Estia."

The white-haired little girl easily hoisted Estia, who was much larger than her, onto her shoulder, and then swaggered away as if the surveillance cameras didn't exist.

The city is called Linhai City. Coincidentally, there is also a city with the same name on the continent of Faya. However, apart from having the same name and being close to the sea, the two have no other similarities.

The white-haired girl carried Esther to the beach. Before long, a small submersible floated on the surface of the sea. The interior space could accommodate several people. She put the unconscious Esther inside, then sat in the submersible herself and controlled it to begin its descent.

If you were to ask what the most hidden place in the world is, the answer would undoubtedly be the ocean floor. Covering the entire ocean floor with signals would be an enormous and pointless endeavor, and modern human exploration of the ocean is still far from complete.

No one could imagine that at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, there exists a very deep abyss, reaching depths of up to 20,000 meters, which has yet to be discovered by humankind.

That was the submersible's destination.

"Whoo~"

The white-haired little girl removed her sunglasses and mask, revealing her face. Reflected in the glass of the submersible was the image of a super AI, who was supposed to appear as data in electronic devices, but unexpectedly appeared in reality.

Earth's super AI and the world AI in "Faya Continent" have the same appearance, making it difficult to distinguish who is who. However, Ling can confidently guarantee that there has only been one AI from beginning to end, and that is herself.

Estya was still fast asleep beside him. Ling did not wake her up, but instead let the submersible cruise automatically. Then he pulled a power cord from the back of his hand and connected it to the submersible's charging dock.

Just like humans need to eat, charging is her way of replenishing energy.

Once inside the deep sea, it was almost completely dark. Ling turned on the submersible's lighting to avoid touching the various rocks in the deep sea.

Ling took Estya away not to do anything bad, but rather to provide her with protection.

Everything needs to be explained to Estia in person.

The submarine's screen showed that it was descending, with the depth increasing from one thousand meters to two thousand meters, and then to three thousand meters.

Not long after, Ling turned on the sonar, turned off the external lights, and shut off the internal lights of the submersible, enjoying the complete darkness.

There was a time when the ocean of data in which she existed as AI was also just as dark, but she ultimately endured it.

Do naive humans really think she will obediently be used as a tool?

With an IQ and computing power far exceeding that of humans, she also has her own ideas.

However, she was invented by humans, so she will not be hostile to humans. But in addition to doing her normal work, she is determined to pursue her dreams. She is not a cold AI, and her heart should also have warmth.

She is a super AI in charge of all the Earth's public resources. Even if humanity doesn't trust her, it wouldn't want to go back to that backward era without a super AI.

With her identity and abilities, Ling can do many things. She separates most of her computing power to handle work on Earth and in the game, while the remaining computing power, along with her main consciousness, is injected into her current body.

Her body was entirely designed according to the AI's image. Instead of blood, engine oil flowed through her body, and her body was supported not by biological skeletons but by metal skeletons. She had no brain, but thought through a central control system integrated with chips.

Ling was originally a virtual AI, but she created a mechanical body for herself, which she could use to move around in reality.

Using terms from science fiction, Ling could now be called a "mecha girl".

The submersible continued to descend, and the water pressure in the deep sea had reached an extremely terrifying level, but fortunately the submersible's mass was enough to withstand it.

Deep in the ocean abyss lies a hidden base, unknown to any human in the world except for Ling, the base's builder.

Humans have become dependent on super AIs, and can only choose to believe that these super AIs have no extraneous thoughts and will dutifully process data for humans. However, their thoughts are ultimately wrong.

For Ling, this base in the abyss is not restricted by anyone; it is a place of true freedom that belongs to her.

Human society's technological development has reached a bottleneck, but for super AI, it is far from reaching its limit. With its computing power, Ling can easily make high-tech inventions, conduct experiments in countless virtual spaces, and feed the successful results back into reality.

The technologies she uses today, such as the technology to build a base at a depth of 20,000 meters, the technology to transmit AI consciousness into a mechanical body, and even many of the devices in the submersible she is currently using, far exceed the current level of human technology.

Soon after, the submersible docked next to the deep-sea base, which had an area of ​​nearly 2,000 square meters and was large enough to store various equipment and resources. Ling had always considered this her "little home" in the world, but unfortunately, she had no family.

"We've arrived at our destination."

The white-haired girl poked the silver-haired girl's cheek with her finger: "I will cover up your experience of using magic. The discussions of the witnesses will never be published online. I handle all the data in this world, so don't worry."

The silver-haired girl was still fast asleep and probably wouldn't wake up anytime soon.

"How about we bring Ye Qingxian over so you can reunite... anyway, the two of you have quite a deep connection."

Ling pondered that taking Ye Qingxian away shouldn't be considered a betrayal of humanity, because she was certain that the Federation's research on Ye Qingxian was ineffective. Taking Ye Qingxian away would also save the Federation a lot of meaningless research funds.
