Kentucky saw Gabriel's eyes full of warning.

Looking back at the people behind him holding various guns, he instantly understood what Gabriel was worried about.

"That's what the Fatui said, Kentucky, don't do anything stupid, you know."

"Of course, I know what's going on. You may as well come along. However, Dr. Mosso's information is on a first-come, first-served basis."

"Legally speaking, the information is Dr. Mosso's legacy. As long as you can obtain authorization from Dr. Mosso's granddaughter, you can do whatever you want. However, I will keep an eye on you. I will help you contact Torosa later."

"Okay, thank you very much."

The two of them then began to act separately. Gabriel went to contact Torosa to find Ququ, and Kent went to Steambird to find editor-in-chief Oufu.

The two parties agreed to meet in front of the Steam Bird News.

At the same time, another team, bringing researchers from the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences, came to the Cangjing District.

"This place contains unknown influences. Ordinary humans will suffer certain harm if they stay in there for a long time. Let me make it clear that we will be up in an hour at most."

"No problem. The target is not dead. We will go down and try to communicate with Meilushin first and bring the target up. If it doesn't work, we can talk later."

They received accurate information that Alain Guillotin's mechanical creation, an intelligent machine suspected to have possessed human intelligence, was staying in Haimo Village and was in a damaged standby state.

However, it already has an owner.

Their goal was simply to read and copy its code and structure for research without damaging it.

This requires professional assistance.

The Fontaine Academy of Sciences is very interested in Guillotin's mechanical creations that possess human intelligence.

Now that you say that, I’m not sleepy anymore.

The two parties hit it off and came here together.

Chapter 188 Clues and Transactions

"External data intrusion detected, program activated."

"?"

What happened? He was fine just now, but suddenly woke up?

"Enter attack mode, classification: self-defense, target: standard human, armed with kinetic and explosive weapons, threat level: medium. Weapon module deployed--"

"???"

Everyone watched as Seymour deployed his attack units and reacted quickly.

"Calm down, we are not enemies, we have no ill intentions, we are trying to fix the problem for you."

"Wait, wait, wait, we are the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, an official institution of Fontaine, founded by Mr. Guillotin. We are not enemies!"

The team sent by Jiang Ming treated them as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They pointed their guns at Seymour and hurriedly explained their purpose.

The researchers sent by the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences hurriedly showed their work badges to identify themselves.

“Identifying…”

"Authentication passed, mid-level technical bureaucrat at Fontaine Academy of Sciences, attack mode lifted. Entering alert status."

"Disk error...data lost, looking for core task nodes, starting file defragmentation..."

Seymour sat on the ground and entered a state of motionlessness.

"What's wrong with him?"

The researcher who was lying on the ground frightened by Seymour's weapon module slowly stood up and looked at Seymour in confusion.

"Didn't you hear it say it was defragmenting the files? We just saw that the disk was damaged."

"If it is only this level, then it cannot be considered as having human intelligence. At most, it is a more advanced security agency, a special type of mechanical dog equipped with a voice-generating device?"

"No, I must correct you. I am Prototype 4ACV07. You can also call me Seymour. I am fundamentally different from ordinary clockwork mechanisms."

"Ok?"

Researchers turned their curious eyes to Seymour.

This sentence made things different.

Seymour can actively interrupt and reply to their conversations!

Does this mean that Seymour has independent thinking? !

“Could you please explain what the difference is?”

"The difference is... the data is wrong, the data is lost, please wait. Maybe I can get relevant conclusions after defragmenting my files."

The researchers all showed disappointed expressions.

The other party suffered too much damage.

About 30% of the components were damaged to varying degrees, so it was surprising that they could be suddenly activated.

"We can replace new parts for you, and perhaps restore some of your functions. At the same time, this is also our agreement with Miss Mamehe."

In order to persuade Mamehe to bring Seymour to the shore with them to cooperate in the research, they promised to help replace a full set of new parts for Seymour and repair it as best as possible.

The strange thing during this process was that the strange man named Jacob who came to pick up the painting had a very complicated expression after hearing their purpose.

He also looked at Seymour with a frown, not knowing what the problem was.

In short, that look made them feel very uncomfortable.

It was like being stared at by some disgusting and indescribable creature.

"Negative. Most of my parts were customized for Mr. Guillotin. They represented the highest level of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences at the time. Ordinary parts may cause unknown effects."

"Eh? Is that so?"

Meilushinmamehe, who was standing by, lowered her head dejectedly after hearing this.

It looked as if her wish to make Seymour better was going to fail.

"Your time has long passed. You may as well list the technical standards and we will try to customize one for you."

"..."

Seymour's camera tilted.

"This is a movement very similar to humans. When thinking, we subconsciously tilt our heads. Who would design such a movement for a clockwork mechanism?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe Mr. Guidodin wanted a mechanism that was more like a human, so he added this design on purpose?"

The researchers began to chat quietly.

It seems more and more like an advanced intelligence with human wisdom and autonomous thinking.

"Sure, the standard for my parts is... wrong data, data lost."

This left everyone present speechless.

How come you lost the data at this critical moment?

"Core mission data search completed. Primary order: Replace Alain Guillotin and stay by Miss Marianne's side to protect her. Current mission status: Protect her."

"Marianne? Isn't that Mr. Guillotin's sister? It's been hundreds of years since then, right? Seymour, Marianne must have been dead for many years."

People at the Fontaine Academy of Sciences were very familiar with the name Marianne.

There is also a Marian Park inside the Academy of Sciences.

"???"

Seymour tilted his head again, even more than last time.

"Wait, you mean that my mission target no longer exists? This..."

Seymour's words made the people at the scene feel an emotion called panic.

It's hard to imagine that they got such feelings from a mechanical dog.

"Indeed...Huh? Why did you hit me?"

The researcher was about to reply when he was nudged by the team leader.

The leader walked up and whispered to Seymour.

"Your mission goal is to protect Marian, right?"

"affim."

"You need to find Marianne first."

"affim."

"But Marianne is a historical figure from hundreds of years ago. According to the normal human lifespan, she should have died."

"Yes. This is exactly what confuses me. I don't know what I should do. If I continue to calculate, my program may have serious logical conflicts."

"But as far as we know, Marian is most likely still alive in another form, and we have relevant clues. As long as you agree to our terms, I will tell you the clues and send you the location."

"!"

Seymour turned his head sharply, and the camera on his head stared at the leader.

"We are looking for you to obtain the code and core design of artificial intelligence, or thinking machines, as a reference. Don't worry, we will pay attention to protecting your safety in the process. You can set your storage to read-only mode and show us your system code."

"…Negative. My design is Mr. Guillotin's only work. Mr. Guillotin's instructions forbid me to disclose my own design and forbid me to take any action that may harm the core and cause downtime or death."

"...Affirmatively, my primary order is to accompany and protect the young lady in place of Alain Guillotin, regardless of the cost."

"Negative..."

"affim……"

The people at the scene looked at Seymour and he sometimes confirmed and sometimes denied it.

"Is there a bug?"

“It seems to be the case.”

"What did you say to him? Such an advanced program has a bug?"

Everyone just looked at Seymour, who was standing there, affirming and denying for a long time.

"Affirmative. Accompanying and protecting the young lady is the highest order. The current mission status has been changed to: Find the young lady. This goal is achieved at any cost."

"..."

"I have copied most of the system code. You can transfer it by plugging it into my data interface. I will mobilize the display of the code that cannot be copied. Please note: the inside of the core cannot be touched. Any attempt to damage the core will be counterattacked."

"understood."

Chapter 189 Found it

While the researchers were busy transmitting and transcribing Seymour's code, and urgently allocating a large number of mechanical dog parts and related research equipment from the Fontaine Scientific Academy and marveling at their exquisiteness, Kent Key had already arrived at the Steambird Newspaper Office and successfully met the editor-in-chief, Ou Fu.

"Huh? I didn't expect that after all these years, there are still people who remember the incident of Dr. Mosso. Are you here to look for Mello?"

Ou Fu was very surprised about the purpose of Kentucky and his group's visit.

"Yes, on the one hand we want to know the truth of that year, and on the other hand we are very interested in Dr. Mosso's research and want to learn more about it."

"I see. I thought this had become history. Here, this is Mrs. Melo's current address in Fontaine. You can go and have a look. She should not be in her hometown now. You can take my letter of introduction."

Ou Fu automatically skipped the polite words about understanding the truth and it was obvious that she was here just to look for research materials.

However, they are not the first group of people. Thirty years ago, there were a lot of people like them.

However, no one has ever found any clues to Dr. Mosso's research base and data.

If we get another batch now, I guess the result will be the same.

Oufu wrote a brief letter of introduction, explaining the intentions of the Kentucky group and signed her name.

"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Oufu. May I ask how Mrs. Melo is doing now?"

"It's not bad. The Lombroso family was a noble family in the past. Although it is a little down and out now, it still has a lot of wealth, at least enough for Melo to live a good life. But her husband... Alas."

Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu had an expression that was hard to describe, and she didn't continue talking.
