degradation

Although 24 escaped, it was inevitable that he still had stippling on his body.

There were what appeared to be abrasions, and there was a tiny gash on the cheek.

The special metal mesh nailed to the ceiling flashed through Dino's mind, and then he sat in the car and carefully checked 24's body.Finally, I found an OK bandage in 24's pocket, and I wanted to grab it and stick it on 24, but 24 was unwilling.

"This is what I prepared for Dino's emergency use," 24 clutched his small pocket, "and my body doesn't need this kind of thing."

Dino couldn't resist 24, stroked his cheek lightly, and then started the car.He needs to send 24 to a safe place, and there are still important things waiting for him to complete.

The deletion of 24’s data can only be performed under the premise that the central core is operating normally. However, the central core is now hacked. Although it may be able to resume operation in minutes under the emergency repairs of the technicians, the moment the central core recovers also represents 24. The whereabouts will be exposed immediately.

Lucas sent a message before that all the data had been locked earlier, and unless a full-time person unlocked it, ordinary staff from the information department would not be able to perform data-related operations at all. Martial law has been imposed on Evolution as a whole at this time, except for those who have returned home from get off work, everyone is prohibited from entering and leaving.

Someone must revise the program in time when the center recovers, Dino thought to himself while paying attention to the direction of travel, obviously all the helpers available in the company have been useless, and there seems to be no one else who can come and go freely except him .

Mr. Vincent, the chairman of Evolution, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the night view of Tokyo bathed in thunderstorms, waiting for the news he was looking forward to.

Sure enough, not long after, with a ding, a man in overalls walked in through the security door.

"Sir, the center has recovered."

Vincent turned around and nodded at the man. After the man went out, he stood in the huge office and called out, "Evo!"

A virtual image suddenly fell from the sky and landed behind Vincent. It was a cloud-like shape containing a little light blue light, like an eye, and said to him in an electronic voice, "again Nice to meet you Mr. Vincent."

"Many years ago I made a wrong decision, that is, to hand over the matter to the intelligent court for resolution, and I trusted human reason." Vincent turned to face Evo, the center of Evolution, with a firm gaze, "This time I will not make the same mistake again, and I absolutely cannot allow DT-244 to exist in this world again, or even fall into the hands of others."

"What can I do for you?"

Vincent pondered for a moment, summoned the assistant around him to whisper a few words, and then spoke a series of digital commands to Evo.

The moment the command was issued, Evo's virtual image suddenly glowed with a strange red light, and said in a cold electronic voice, "Enter the red alert state, the target mission, completely obliterate DT244."

At the moment of entering the red alert, all the robots produced by Evolution in Tokyo and even all over the country, whether it is the robot that follows the owner to purchase in the supermarket, the robot responsible for cleaning in the corridor of the hospital, or even the robot handing out leaflets on the roadside, behind the restaurant. The kitchen robots and so on, all of them had a faint red light in their eyes, scanning all the humans around them over and over again, checking their identity information.Suddenly, countless robots sprang out from the corner of Evolution's company and rushed to every corner of the block, searching for 24's whereabouts.

"Are we violating privacy laws by doing this?"

The assistant who was with Vincent was still indifferent.

"Treat very much in extraordinary times, right Evo?" Vincent asked casually, shaking the wine glass in his hand.

"For the benefit and happiness of the majority of humanity, there will always be sacrifices for the few."

"That's it."

At the same time, on the other side, the protagonist of the story is obviously unaware that the outside world has been turned upside down.

Following Professor Owen's guidance, the two came to the entrance of a basement.Later, I heard from the professor that it was the laboratory he set up with Dr. T when he was young. While doing some small research, he used it as a secret base for the two of them.The laboratory that has not been used for many years is already old and aging, but at least the electricity is still on and the equipment is not broken.Temporarily shielding 24's signal may still be able to exert residual heat.

"But it's only temporary, and it won't last long."

When Dino settled down at 24, the professor said this to him.

"24...Cheri, I'll leave it to you first."

Dino looked at 24 who was pouring the goldfish into a glass container, and whispered to the professor please.

The professor nodded and said to him after a moment of silence, "Actually, you can stay out of it."

Dino smiled, but didn't speak.

Lucas sat in the empty technical department rubbing his chin and hesitated for a while, then stood up suddenly and walked to the door, "The center has been repaired, can I go home after get off work?"

"Sorry, Mr. Lucas, it's an emergency, please cooperate."

The security guard outside the door politely rejected Lucas' request.

"But I... I need a change of clothes even if I stay here overnight, I have to go home I have OCD!"

"I'm ready for you, Boss."

As soon as Lucas finished speaking, a figure slowly walked over from the other side of the corridor.

The brown-haired and green-eyed boy could no longer see the green eyes in his eyes, and walked towards Lucas step by step with his red eyes staring, his tone was as gentle as usual but without a trace of imitating human emotion, "Please cooperate Evolution's work."

Lucas stared blankly at his own Jimmy, and swallowed.

24 sent Dino all the way to the car, holding a black umbrella and still insisting, "Dino, please take me with you."

"Be obedient, it's best for me to go alone."

"Entering the center of Evolution is not that easy, you may encounter danger."

"But it's more dangerous to take you with you. They can't do anything to me, but you are what they want."

24 bowed his head in silence, Dino felt his heart soften when he saw his silent expression, and took his hand.

"wait me back."

"I'll take you to the underwater world."

"It's beautiful there, aren't you very interested in fish?"

"We agreed?"

24 raised his head and looked at Dino's appearance. He still had the same silly smile, with the corners of his mouth and eyes crooked.

"it is good."

The red Ferrari splashed all the way away, and soon disappeared into the night. Only 24 was left holding a black umbrella and looking at the winding path for a long time.

Dino parked the car far away at the temporary parking lot on the corner of the street, braved the heavy rain and quietly ran into the underground parking garage of Evolution, walked into the elevator carefully with his head down, shaking the rain from his hair while thinking about what to do next Dive into the center.

The center of Evolution is buried deep underground, but to enter the center, one must sneak into the company's secret passage and take a direct elevator down to the center area.Although it can't be said that the road is unimpeded, but because Dino has a better understanding of the internal situation of Evolution, Dino avoided the robots patrolling back and forth, and at least passed a few security doors.

When Dino took the direct elevator and quickly descended to the central area, the dark and silent surroundings even made him feel uneasy.

This is the first time he has entered the central area. A rookie technician of his level will never get the chance to enter here even if he is promoted to an engineer in ten years. Also thanks to 24?

Dino was still teasing silently in his heart at this moment, as if he wanted to relieve his nervousness.

Walking to the end of the passage, passing by a few sophisticated facilities and models that have never been seen or touched before, Dino came to a huge and empty field, and the center of the field was a huge raised disc. There is a hexagram-shaped pattern engraved in the center of the disc, and in the middle of the pattern is a huge crystal-mounted object, with radiant lights inside and light path currents around it.

Is this the center of Evolution?

Dino was stunned by the sight in front of him. He walked towards the huge center in a daze, and stepped on the raised disc. With every step he landed, the smooth black ground like a mirror was covered with a halo of quicksand.When he finally stood in front of the center, he saw the radiant interior of the center, the fast-moving spots of light were all the information and data of Evolution, and at the top of it, there seemed to be a huge eye of the wind hovering Data absorption and recycling.

The radiance of the center reflected on Dino's cheeks, making him unable to move his eyes away, he had never seen such a beautiful sight.

"I'm beautiful, Mr. Dino."

Just when Dino was obsessed with the scene in front of him, a cold electronic voice suddenly sounded.

The virtual image of Evo. fell from the sky and landed behind Dino, "And what you are doing now is destroying me."

Dino turned around and saw Evo floating in front of his eyes like a cloud floating in the sky, and the dazzling red light in the center of the cloud shot straight into his chest like an eye, like To be able to see through everything about him.

"I don't want to destroy you, I just want to take a piece of data from you."

"Taking away DT-244 will threaten human society. I was created by human beings. Destroying human beings is equivalent to destroying me."

"I thought you would be on the side of 24." Dino said as he walked to the other end of the center, studied the surrounding designs for a while, and suddenly squatted on the ground as if he had discovered a new continent. It was great that he finally found the center's The console is gone.

"DT-244 is indeed of the same kind as me, but I don't think that the autonomous consciousness of intelligent machines is a boon for human society, and that goes against the purpose of my being created to serve human beings."

"That's what humans taught you, and of course I don't expect you to think on your own." Dino sat on the ground and tried hard to figure out how to raise the console.

Evo. suddenly floated in front of Dino, "Don't waste your efforts, I won't let you control me."

Dino smiled at Evo. "Oh? Are you so sure?"

"Although I can't control you," Dino said, suddenly took out a special machine gun from his waist and pointed it at the center, "but look at this, can it damage you at least a little bit?"
