People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

“Harold, the important thing now is the Samaritan. Let’s talk, because time is running out.”

Upon hearing this, Harold frowned even more deeply.

The truth is, Harold is indeed very worried about the Samaritan... for a simple reason: lately, the number of people the robot baby has been notifying because of the Samaritan has been increasing so much that it's practically exploding.

Harold was really anxious about the potential victims and desperately wanted to find a good solution.

“Okay, please sit down,” Harold nodded in response, “but I don’t know, and I can’t guarantee what I can do.”

Snowway smiled faintly, not finding these words surprising.

In fact, Snowfield felt that Harold's way of speaking was normal.

After a while.

Harold and Snowway sat down facing each other. Rither, still holding his pistol, stood motionless to the side, ready to kill Snowway at any moment, dutifully protecting Harold's safety.

As soon as they sat down, with very little time to spare, Snowway didn't mince words and went straight to explaining the current situation of the Samaritans.

"Perhaps in a few more days, perhaps in a week, once Ding Ze has installed the hardware, the Samaritans will have completed their surveillance of the entire United States and even the world."

"Our club has already devised a plan to prevent this from happening... but we need your cooperation, Mr. Finch."

"After all, you know very well how terrifying the consequences would be if Samaritan, as an open super artificial intelligence, fell into the hands of someone like Ding Ze."

"That madman Ding Ze is someone who wants to... no, I should say, someone who will definitely start World War III."

"Have you seen the news about Iran's nuclear bomb explosion?"

"That was Ding Ze's masterpiece... There was only one reason why Ding Ze did this: to force the US government to temporarily lose focus on Miami, giving him time to get Samaritans fully online."

Can you imagine what will happen in the future?

Harold was genuinely unaware that Ding Ze was behind the events in Yilang. Upon hearing this, his expression immediately changed drastically, and he was deeply shocked. "Are you sure it was Ding Ze who had someone detonate a nuclear weapon in Yilang?"

Snoopey immediately nodded, "I'm sure, our club has a lot of people in Miami, the news is absolutely true."

This is too terrible.

Harold, the most saintly of saints, was no match for this; his heart began to race wildly.

Even so, Harold quickly regained his composure and looked at Snowway, "Mr. Milden, what do you, or the Longevity Club, gain for stopping the Samaritans?"

"I don't believe you're stopping Ding Ze out of kindness." (End of Chapter)

Chapter 435 The Fate of the World Is in Your Hands

In an abandoned library in New York.

As a very conceited man, Comrade Harold Finch always spoke with an attitude of 'I have seen through everything'.

This is very interesting.

At least, that's how it is, according to Elder Snowway.

After all, Snowwell is actually that kind of person too.

Hearing this, Snowway smiled and nodded. "Of course, we have our own purposes. First of all, Ding Ze has touched the core of our Changsheng Club."

"What happened in Brazil made us enemies with Ding Ze. Since we are enemies, one of us has to fall."

"Secondly, our Longevity Club has existed on this planet for thousands of years, growing from nothing to something, from small to large. To be honest, we have maintained order on this planet to a certain extent, but most ordinary people can't see it."

"Harold, you are a very intelligent person, you wouldn't be an exaggeration to call you a genius."

"You should be able to understand that although this planet is still chaotic, it ultimately has a certain degree of order."

"Can you imagine what would happen if a madman like Ding Ze took control of this planet? Are you willing to see that kind of future?"

Harold was indeed very unwilling, which was why he had been having such a headache lately.

Even so, Harold did not take the bait easily. He looked at Snowwell with a complicated expression and said calmly, "What you said makes sense, but I don't think that's the whole truth."

“I believe that your Longevity Club wants to get the Samaritan.”

Snowaway laughed, nodded readily, and admitted frankly, "Harold, you are indeed a very intelligent man. Yes, we do want the Samaritan."

"But, not to use the Samaritans to do evil, but to better serve this planet."

"Please don't misunderstand and think that we want to use the Samaritans to rule the world, because the truth is, we already rule the world."

“Besides, Harold, think about it, the machine you created is actually in the hands of our Longevity Club, and we’ve always known about your existence.”

"But what have we done all these years?"

That statement is indeed reasonable and well-founded, and there's nothing wrong with it.

Harold fell silent.

However, his silence did not mean that Harold believed Snowway.

This at most indicates that Harold is willing to get down to business and have a proper talk with Snowway.

After a brief silence, Harold spoke again, "There are only two of us, how can we help you?"

Hear the words.

Seeing that Harold had finally relented, Snowway felt a little relieved. "Machine is a closed system, but, as you and I both know, it's your child, and it's willing to listen to you."

"You can make it do many things on its own, if you want."

"Our Changsheng Club will soon crush Ding Ze's financial backing, which is the Dongfeng Group in Mexico."

"You should be able to understand that once Ding Ze's financial resources are destroyed, Ding Ze will soon be finished."

“Then, once we do that, Ding Ze will definitely find a way to raise more funds.”

"I think that Ding Ze will use the Samaritans to target the banking system."

"The biggest favor I need from you is to make sure the machine protects the banking system so that Ding Ze cannot get the funds."

This is not an unreasonable request.

Moreover, protecting the banking system is of great benefit to the United States and the world.

Harold thought it over carefully and didn't think it would be a bad thing. "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee it. Anything else you need?"

Snowway smiled and nodded, "When necessary, let the machine be our eyes. Our Changsheng Club's battle against Ding Ze can only succeed; we cannot fail."

“I’ll think about it,” Harold replied.

Snowway had been observing Harold for many years and knew what kind of person Harold was, so by the time the conversation had progressed this far, he knew that the deal was done.

“Thank you, Harold,” Snowaway stood up. “You’re doing the right thing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Snowway took out an ordinary business card from his pocket and handed it to Harold. "Please contact me as soon as possible. Also, Harold, if you change your mind, or if the machine can't do it, please let me know immediately. Then I will cut off the Internet."

Upon hearing this, Harold's heart skipped a beat, "!!!!"

In this modern age, should we cut off the internet?

What terrible consequences would that cause?

The last time the internet went down, it was only a few minutes, and so many people around the world died!

Harold was startled and jumped to his feet. "Please don't do this!"

Snowway calmly shook his head. "Do you know just how terrifying an open-ended super artificial intelligence like Samaritan really is?"

"Believe me, I wouldn't want to do this unless it was absolutely necessary."

"But I will do it."

"Harold, the fate of this world is in your hands."

Harold was speechless.

Snowway smiled slightly and said nothing more, "Then I'll take my leave now, and wait for your call."

After saying that, Snowwell Milden turned and left.

Risser, who had been holding a pistol the whole time, was incredibly shocked, but he didn't hesitate and immediately followed to make sure Snowway left the library.

A few minutes later.

Snowway left, and Rither returned to Harold. "Harold, what should we do next?"

Harold was a very arrogant and awkward person. Even though he knew the situation was indeed very critical, he still couldn't make up his mind and couldn't bring himself to let the machine unlock some powers.

Harold is very worried that once this Pandora's box is opened, the machine will never be able to return to its former state, causing irreparable damage to the world.

In this respect, Harold was actually a very foolish guy.

“I need to think about it carefully,” Harold replied with very mixed feelings.

Knowing how serious the matter was, Risser didn't say anything more.

************

Miami.

It's windy today, and the sea is very rough.

Ding Ze, a cigarette dangling from his lips, stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the surging sea, lost in thought.

Nature is terrifying.
