Knight Asylum

That blind spot was quite secretive and no one had passed by for more than ten hours. Excluding the funny situation where a greasy middle-aged man turned himself into a devil due to extreme incompetence, someone must have entered that blind spot in a way that evaded surveillance.

Whether it is the greasy middle-aged man or the kept woman, their backgrounds are ordinary and there is nothing strange about them.

So the most likely scenario at the moment is that the demons are keeping an eye on those who will become Daughters of Origin in the future, and are looking for opportunities to eliminate their possibility of becoming Daughters of Origin.

Unfortunately, these two guys were used as cannon fodder.

Since the other party knew to avoid surveillance, there would most likely be no traces left at the scene, but what if?

It is said that some criminals will return to the scene of the crime to satisfy their perverted psychology.

Out of caution, Reid decided to go to the scene to take a look.

Although it was late at night, the rebuilt and revived Xingxiu District was still bustling and bright, with humans and monsters walking together everywhere. However, when arriving at the underground parking lot of the shopping mall, it suddenly became extremely deserted. Although the lights were on, Red felt extremely depressed and as if he had come to another world.

Red raised his hand and patted his forehead, glanced at the surveillance camera installed on the ceiling, and walked along the edge of the underground parking lot to the place where the middle-aged greasy man had the accident. As soon as he approached Red, he felt a strong wind coming straight to the back of his head.

This feeling...

Reid frowned slightly and raised his right arm to connect his elbow with the attacker's fist.

The feeling of metal from his elbow confirmed what Red was thinking.

"A mechanical life form?" Reid shook his arm and knocked the opponent away, but did not chase him. Instead, he looked around and prepared himself to sublimate into the ultimate form of the Tilras Titan.

"Are you alone? Where are the other people in Phoenix? But let me say this first, I am not a criminal."

Mechanical life forms are now the main force used by Phoenix for shelter and rescue. Since mechanical life forms appear here, it means that Phoenix is ​​also paying attention to this matter.

Mechanical life forms always act in groups of two or three.

He let go of his perception, but there was only the mechanical life form in front of him.

"I know you can't be the criminal, sorry," the attacker stood up straight, "Phoenix didn't take it seriously."

Red tilted his head, "Have you, like Heart, awakened? What's your name?"

The attacker was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "012."

"It's not a number, it's a name, just like the name Heart. Didn't you give yourself a name?" Reid raised his hand and twirled his hair.

"012, it's okay," 012 said slowly, "Heart and I are different."

Chapter 622 I don't know if God has a big thigh

"012, okay, I'm going to ask you if you have betrayed Phoenix."

Reid crossed his arms over his chest and asked tentatively.

"..."

"Yes," 012 nodded after a moment of silence.

"That's true - now that you've already betrayed us, can you tell me some information about Phoenix's internal situation?" Reid smiled brightly and raised his finger.

012's mouth twitched slightly.

"You are being too direct."

"This will save us all some trouble. On the other hand, you can ask me something you want to know." Red spread his hands, smiled, and then his face turned serious. "To be honest, the situation is not optimistic now. If things go wrong, the world will be destroyed again."

012 His breathing stagnated.

"How about it?"

"What do you want to know?" 012 slapped his forehead helplessly. Although he betrayed Phoenix, it was just a helpless act. Deep down in his heart, he still had expectations for the organization and was not very willing to tell others the information about Phoenix.

Because Hiromi Kadota is such a person.

Although mechanical life forms can perfectly copy humans like the Zerg, they are different from those that can be controlled by human will and lose themselves. Mechanical life forms are essentially machines, and even though their thinking programs are affected by the copies, they know who they are.

There is one thing that only the machine life forms themselves know.

As data continues to accumulate and improve, the original information from the copied person will be regarded as an outdated version and will be overwritten by updates. After a long time, they will even forget who they copied from. What will remain is probably the important emotions that drive their evolution.

So 012 is very clear that he is not Hiromi Kadoda. Maybe after some time, he will even forget who Hiromi Kadoda is. In fact, the moment he destroyed his companions, took away the ring, and completed his evolution, he was no longer Hiromi Kadoda.

That last expectation for Phoenix will soon be covered by updates.

Perhaps, by then he will be able to complete the next stage of evolution.

"Dr. Kulim, what's going on?" Reid said softly after a pause.

There was one thing that always concerned him.

Why didn't Phoenix reveal that he, a terrorist, attacked the headquarters and [killed] Dr. Kurim, a terrorist act?

"..."

"Dr. Kulim is doing well and is now focusing his full attention on research to accelerate it."

"That's mechanical life form number XX," Reid held his forehead with his hand.

As expected, the most troublesome situation occurred.

A mechanical life form has copied Kurim.

According to Kurim's description, mechanical life forms have a strong ability to replicate, and like the Zerg, they can copy the other party's thinking and basic physical abilities.

The mind is one of them.

What Kurum worries most is that Manyo Tenjuro will let a machine life form copy him and then use his mind for evil plans, so he is always on guard against machine life forms that slightly copy humans.

Despite all his precautions, Manyo Tenjuro failed to stop him and killed him directly.

In that case, it would be strange if there were no mechanical life forms to replicate Kurim.

"004."

"Well--"

Red held his chin in thought.

004 copied Kurim's brain and is now researching heavy acceleration. Since it was instructed by Man Ye, it is probably not for the benefit of mankind.

But Kurim himself, Belt Kurim, Kiryu Battle Rabbit, and Ember who has the Time Train and is researching the Transcendence Insect Meter have not yet figured out a way to super-evolve the light mechanism that produces heavy acceleration. Most likely, Manno Tenjuro is facing the same problem.

If they really compare the research progress, now with the addition of Philip, they will definitely be able to make a breakthrough before Manyo Tenjuro.

It really doesn't work...

Let Philip check the research progress of weight acceleration regularly through the Earth's memory. If he finds that the progress of weight acceleration is faster than theirs, it means that Manyo Tenjuro's progress is faster.

At that time, he only needs to launch another terrorist attack on the Phoenix headquarters. It will not be enough to just smash Manyo Tenjuro's host. At that time, he will just kidnap Manyo Tenjuro back.

"What do you want to know?" Reid nodded.

"Why is the world facing the crisis of destruction again?" 012 glanced at the corner not far away.

"demon."

012 was stunned.

"It's the demon you retrieved in your mind now. According to our speculation, thousands of years ago, or even earlier, aliens entered the earth, humans, or they called themselves demons." Reid leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest. "What did they want to do?"

"perhaps?"

"Yes, but before that, the demons were destroyed by the angels created by God and sealed in hell," Reid shrugged, "Now they are trying to escape from hell. The two weirdos who appeared today are the demons that escaped from hell."

"..."

"It's hard to understand, right? But I'm not kidding you," Reid let out a helpless breath. "According to our speculation, the recent series of incidents of Gaia's memory being activated without authorization are signs that the demons are trying to return to this world."

"No... this is not an unfounded fantasy," 012 felt his CPU heating up. "But, since demons are real, what about the angels who can kill them all? And what about the God who created the angels? Where are they now?"

"This is also the problem we are struggling with now. Maybe when the demons return to this world completely, we can see them. At that time, we just need to hold on to the thigh of Lord God," Reid said jokingly.

012 was speechless.

"Okay, it's my turn again. What made you defect from Phoenix?" Red tilted his head.

Machines are very loyal and will never betray humans.

The so-called artificial intelligence crisis is, in a sense, the result of loyalty being carried out to the end. If anyone is to blame, it is the people who use it who do not understand what peace is like, and so leave this problem to the artificial intelligence they designed to execute.

Therefore, there must be a reason for 012's betrayal.

To be honest, just looking at 012's face, he doesn't look like someone who would betray.

So it’s probably the familiar one.

What was required to be done was completely in conflict with what was said, causing the artificial intelligence brain to make its own screening and judgment.

"I'm risking my life to protect humanity."

012 raised his eyes.

There was no arrogant interpretation of justice and peace in his eyes, only the awareness of his own weakness, and the persistence to do his utmost to protect humanity even though he knew he was weak.

Regardless of whether this is a copied wish or not, now, these words all come from 012's heart.

is the real thing.

Chapter 623: Crimes within Crimes

“That’s a great wish.”

Red praised and extended his right hand towards 012.

"Would you like to come over to our place? Dr. Kulim is also here with us. If there is anything you want to do, we can help you."

Looking at Reid's right hand in front of him, 012 paused for a moment and then shook his head slowly but firmly.

"Feel sorry."

"Really? If you need help, you can contact us," Reid put down his right hand with some regret.

"There is one thing I want to confirm. The demon's consciousness is being revived through a certain part of Gaia memory, right?" 012 looked at the corner. "Which kind of Gaia memory is it?"

Red blinked, crossed his arms, raised his head and thought for a while, then raised his finger, "Tyrannosaurus, spider, falcon, pterosaur, jackal, giant squid, mammoth, lion, today, ah, now should be the second day, um, the two evil monsters are a cobra and a cheetah."

"I see. By the way, there is a detective investigating me these days. He should be someone you know. Please tell him that I am not a bad mechanical life form and will not commit a crime."

"Detective...ah, Uncle Ming Hai? Ah~ I understand, I will go talk to the uncle," Reid scratched the back of his head.

"Then, I'll take my leave first."

012 waved to Red and turned to leave.

"Oh oh, bye."

Red tilted his head, and when 012 disappeared at the exit of the underground garage, he noticed a problem.

012 said that he is not a bad mechanical life form and will not commit crimes, which means... there are bad mechanical life forms that will commit crimes.

Red held his chin, his brows slightly raised.

All mechanical life forms were created by Phoenix. No matter what, Phoenix would never let mechanical life forms commit crimes secretly. This is totally unnecessary.

If the mechanical lifeforms were committing crimes secretly, the only possibility he could think of was Manyo Tenjuro.

"By the way, that guy still hasn't said why he betrayed Phoenix."

Red lowered his head and took out his cell phone to record the situation at the scene, hoping that someone in the organization who was good at profiling could restore some of the circumstances.

Under the light of prosperous civilization, 012 walked in the shadows with his hands in his pockets. His eyes, which seemed smart but were actually made of machinery, collected information around him.

"Don't you know what good stuff I got today?"

"Look at how proud you are. Where did you pick up this junk?"

"Hmph - it's different from the past. Look at this Gaia memory!"

In the alley, several young men were squatting on the ground smoking, and one of them pulled out a Gaia memory from his arms.

"I stole it from someone, the Spider's Gaia memory!"

"Hey - isn't that the Gaia memory that is classified as dangerous? How dare you carry it with you?"

"Things about it going berserk are all rumors made up by the authorities in order to take the Gaia Memory from us," the young man holding the Spider Gaia Memory waved his hand nonchalantly and lowered his voice in a mysterious manner, "I'll tell you a secret, the price of these dangerous goods on the black market has increased by hundreds of times."

“Is this true? Hey—”

The eyes of the young men who were originally a little afraid immediately lit up.

Risks can make people calm, but hundreds of times the benefits can make a person lose all reason.

But they didn't notice that a man in front of the alley stopped and was watching them excitedly discussing how to sell the Gaia Memory.
