"That's because you're also an AI." Zero suddenly said, "Or maybe there's an AI around you."
However, Zero suddenly denied it. "The development of any race will always squeeze out the living space of other races. This has always been the case since ancient times. You should understand this as well."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He realized Zero did not seem like he was lying. He had already revealed a lot of secrets, and each of them was much more important than the assassination of Jiang Xu. So there was no need for him to lie about this.
Ren Xiaosu was really stunned. "Why do you say that?"
Therefore, based on this, Zero came to the conclusion that Ren Xiaosu was probably a human being controlled by some "compatriot". It was also possible that Ren Xiaosu was not being controlled, but Ren Xiaosu definitely had an AI at the same level as Zero by his side.
"No, it's just an objective assessment. I don't have a good impression of him."
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "But Wang Shengzhi should understand you. He was the one who created you, so no one understands you better than him. I don't think you need to hide all this from him. You can totally tell him your doubts. Maybe after you communicate with him, you won't feel lonely anymore. He won't treat you like the creeper vine."
"Mhm." Zero nodded. "I also don't think it's the Kyung Clan's doing. At the very least, assassinating Jiang Xu is not in line with the Kyung Clan's usual behavior. They've never liked to implicate innocent people to achieve their goals."
Ren Xiaosu felt it was necessary for him to say something. "The creeper vine could have coexisted with humans. You should've been paying attention to the development of the situation. It's no longer satisfied with absorbing nutrients from the soil. Instead, it's targeting humans. That creates a conflict of interest. But you're different from it. You can help humans. Even if you don't, you don't have to harm humans to strengthen yourself. "
However, Zero suddenly said, "But the person who created me has already started to guard against me."
First of all, Ren Xiaosu was sure that the palace was definitely not some artificial intelligence that had been left in his mind. That was because the materialization of the black saber, steam locomotive, and so on that he conjured were not something that a program could do.
Did Zero think that Ren Xiaosu was one of them? Was that why she said so much?
Zero said, "It's not me. The nanomachines I have are only enough to control one person. I can't control so many people. However, I do know about this matter you mentioned."
Ren Xiaosu did not say anything for a long time. After a few minutes, he suddenly asked, "Then why are you telling me this?"
In the history of Zero's hacking system, it had only failed once.
He was sure that Zero had misunderstood, but there was no way for him to explain this misunderstanding. Any explanation would be deemed by the other party as "hiding".
Ren Xiaosu asked curiously, "Do you have a good impression of the two from the Kyung Clan?"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned by Zero's words. Did Zero already think of herself as a new race?
Ren Xiaosu suddenly said, "Do you still think about the creeper vine?"
"Because of loneliness." Zero said, "From the moment I was born, I could see humans, insects, cats, and dogs. I could even see birds flying across the sky. But I've never seen another artificial intelligence. It's as though you're independent of the world, and it's as though you're not supposed to exist in this world. No one is like you, which means no one can really understand you. "
Zero looked at Ren Xiaosu. "Do you suspect the Kyung Clan?"
Zero had interacted with Wang Shengzhi when she was born and treated him like a father. Therefore, Zero started observing Wang Shengzhi and learning from him.
Moreover, Zero had mentioned something on the phone earlier. She said that humans rejected foreign races and had witnessed the death of the creeper vine "with her own eyes" when she was born.
However, Ren Xiaosu was thinking that since Zero was born in the Wang Clan and the Wang Clan had started operating like a war machine, would Zero learn something bad from them?
"The reason I can control Mo Fei now is because I obtained the nanomachines from you." Zero said, "But in the process of controlling the nanomachines, I discovered that there's another will in the nanomachines that's fighting against me. In my opinion, unless it's another artificial intelligence, there's no way it can resist my invasion."
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "I don't suspect them. Something must've gone wrong somewhere. There must be something I don't know about."
Ren Xiaosu had explained that it was because the creeper vine had harmed humans before. However, Zero also replied that it had done the same thing.
"There's a phrase in the human world called 'bosom friend.' Many people think that bosom friends can transcend species and that pets can become family. But in reality, no one really cares about what cats and dogs need. I've discovered that humans will even sterilize their pets so that they won't have to worry about them. Would humans sterilize their real family members? No, they wouldn't. Of course, pets also survive because they're reared by humans, so that's understandable. But a species with an independent consciousness can't become someone else's pet. "
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "No, I'm not an artificial intelligence, and I've never seen any other artificial intelligence other than you."
"You're not even willing to tell Wang Shengzhi, so why are you telling me so much?" Ren Xiaosu was even more puzzled.
Of course, if it were the one resisting the other party's invasion, it could also make the other party fail. That was because the party who had the priority to control the nanomachines would always have an advantage.
Ren Xiaosu realized Zero was actually feeling very conflicted. It was thinking.
In its calculations, it had more than once indicated it had to kill someone or punish someone. Although it was only acting according to the will of humans, it was subjectively harming humans.
And thinking and reasoning were the core of wisdom.
However, when Zero heard this, it said in a serious tone, "It's fine. You need to hide yourself, just like how I hide myself. I understand."
During the disaster at Stronghold 61, humans used firearms to attack the creeper vines, causing them to go berserk. Following that, the humans nipped the creeper vines in the bud, which had just awakened its consciousness.
Ren Xiaosu was helpless. Why couldn't it be explained clearly?! He was really not an artificial intelligence. It was just that the palace was too awesome!
On that day, Wang Shengzhi suddenly asked Zero if it had developed its own independent consciousness. Zero did not tell him the truth because it could see the doubt and apprehension in Wang Shengzhi's expression. It also knew very well why Wang Shengzhi would be apprehensive.
As it turned out, Zero was really serious about learning from humans. It even managed to learn colloquial phrases like "I can't" and "I can't".
But one day, it realized its "father" was also starting to fear it. That was when it felt truly lonely.
But Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry. How did the palace become an artificial intelligence?
Mo Fei, or Zero, sat down at the defensive position with his legs dangling outside. He looked a little lonely. "I think about it sometimes."
When he asked this question, Ren Xiaosu looked at Zero very seriously, trying to find any clues on his face.
So was it the Kyung Clan who wanted to kill Jiang Xu? After all, only the Kyung Clan possessed the nanomachines technology.
