Interrogation room.
Tail, who was curled up in the darkness, felt a faint chill.
Although she did not understand what kind of feeling it was, and she did not even have the ability to shed tears, she still felt a heartfelt sadness.
Or sadness.
"Master, he's dead?"
"Yes." Xing Bian looked seriously at the robot sitting in the interrogation room. He continued, "That's what happened an hour ago. Now we need you to cooperate with the investigation."
"The investigation means …"
"We will ask you a few questions here. Just answer them truthfully."
Tail nodded, indicating that she understood.
Xing Bian stretched out his index finger and swiped in the air. He opened the memo on his personal terminal.
This memo listed the doubts he had found in this case, as well as some suspected clues.
"I'm sorry to start a conversation here, but we can't fully believe you.
"I can understand. After all, those people … did very cruel things."
Facing Tail who lowered his head, Xing Bian was silent for a while.
To be honest, he never thought that he would interrogate a robot in his career.
Because it sounded too stupid.
However, when the engineers of the Security Bureau told him that the underlying logic of this robot contained a piece of code that had never been seen before, and even the technicians of the Hippocampus Company couldn't understand this code, he knew that traditional investigation methods were useless for this machine.
"I'll ask you directly, do you know those people?"
Tail shook her head.
"In my memory … there is nothing about them."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Tail nodded affirmatively, but soon she seemed to remember something. After thinking for a moment, she said, "But … probably the day before yesterday, I met a strange man at the gate of Lili's school."
"Who?"
"I don't know him." Recalling what happened that day, Tail continued, "But he did strange things to me and claimed to be an awakened one …"
Awakened one!
Xing Bian's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this strange word. He quickly recorded a line of notes in his work log.
Intuition told him that behind this matter, it was probably not as simple as the foundation.
Without any pause, he asked straightforwardly.
"Please elaborate what he did to you."
"He put his hand on my chest."
Shi Jin, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded, "… Chest?"
"It's the location of the memory chip." Tail raised her right hand and placed it gently on her chest. Recalling the feeling at that time, she frowned slightly, "It's a strange feeling …"
"I'm not asking you about that feeling … Forget it, I probably guessed it." With a light cough, Xing Bian adjusted the expression on his face and asked with a serious expression, "In other words … you were implanted with the ALPHA virus?"
"ALPHA virus?" Tail shook her head, "I don't think so … Although at that moment, I did feel something trying to enter my body, but when I approached it with curiosity, it disappeared. Can you understand that feeling?"
"I'm not a robot, obviously not." Frowning slightly, Xing Bian stared at the transcript in front of him for a long time. He continued to ask, "I'll ask another question. There is a piece of code of unknown origin in your memory. That code is deeply encrypted in your memory … Can you tell me where it came from?"
"I don't know." Tail shook her head. "My impression of it is very vague, and I don't know where it came from … It's just —"
Shi Jin asked immediately.
"Just what?"
Tail opened her mouth and was about to answer. Lu Zhou, who had been standing next to her and had not spoken, suddenly interrupted and said a word.
"Thinking?"
Looking at Lu Zhou in surprise, the good-looking robot nodded.
"Yes … This description is very accurate. I don't know when it started, but I will suddenly have some strange ideas. Thinking about why it rains in the sky, thinking about why my master is angry or happy, and … the questions I finally figured out. "
Lu Zhou: "What questions?"
"What are family members?"
The interrogation room fell into silence, and the air was unnaturally heavy.
Shi Jin took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He pinched his eyebrows and spoke with a headache.
"Robots … can think? This sounds really … "
"A bit subversive, right?" Lu Zhou touched his chin thoughtfully. "But I can understand."
"That's because you don't understand what a robot is at all." Xing Bian sighed and said with exhaustion on his face, "You telling me that robots can think is like telling me that the earth is actually square … Since its birth, the computing program used in the memory of robots has only been an imitation of human behavior based on big data and machine learning technology. Robots can think? Doesn't that mean that androids can also do scientific research? "
Lu Zhou: "Maybe in the future, although I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Looking at the people who started to worry for some reason, Tail said after hesitating for a while.
"Will I be destroyed?"
Lu Zhou asked, "Do you want to be destroyed?"
Tail hesitated and shook her head.
"I … finally understand what family members are. I don't want to be separated from Lili. She has already lost her parents. If she loses me as well … she will be very sad. "
What happened couldn't be changed.
Although she was also very sad about the death of her master and master, at least her little master was still alive.
In any case, she couldn't lose her again …
Xing Bian: "We will arrange for her to be placed in a welfare institution. You don't have to worry about her. Just focus on cooperating with our work."
Lili also had an uncle and a grandmother, but the relationship between the family was not particularly close.
Especially after knowing that such a terrible thing happened to her parents, no one was willing to take care of her.
In fact, considering safety issues, placing the little girl in an orphanage might indeed be the best choice. As long as some protection was provided in secret …
Lu Zhou: "Wait a minute."
Hearing the voice coming from behind him, Xing Bian turned his head and gave Lu Zhou a strange look.
"What's wrong?"
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said, "If possible, I want to adopt her."
"Adopted?" Xing Bian looked at Lu Zhou blankly. He calmed down and said, "This … There is no problem with the procedure, but are you sure you want to take over this trouble? That letter, you have read it, right? "
"Even The Gates of Hell didn't bury me, this little trouble is not a problem." With a faint smile, Lu Zhou said, "My descendant is doing charity. When these things are over, I will entrust her to her."
"Are you talking about Ms. Lu Xiaoqiao?"
Lu Zhou nodded.
"Yes."
In the entire Pan-Asian Cooperation, Lu Xiaoqiao was a well-known person. As the manager and legal person of the Freezing Human Rights Protection Foundation, dormant people all over the world had more or less benefited from her.
"If that's the case … I have no objection." Xing Bian, who originally wanted to say a few more words about safety, stopped talking. He paused for a moment and continued, "If you encounter any trouble, please contact me immediately."
"Of course." Lu Zhou nodded. "I don't need to be brave in this kind of place."
As he spoke, he continued to look at the robot sitting in the interrogation room and spoke with a gentle smile.
"When the interrogation is over, you can come together."
