The cold air in the laboratory was filled with a smell similar to "heavy" chemical reagents. The smell was similar to formalin, but not as pungent as formalin.

When the magpie came to Klein, Klein opened his eyes in the sense of crisis caused by his subconscious, and saw the magpie's face that had been replaced by a mechanical mask——

From a distance, it looks like he is wearing a mask, but up close, you can see that the mask itself is his face.

Under the mechanical mask is flesh and blood bonded with some kind of resin material, and above the mechanical mask are the grooves that replace the facial features and the facial features moving in the grooves——

His eyes, which are connected by rockers, protrude outward, and his exaggerated nose takes up almost one-fifth of his face. His mouth, which is composed of a row of small microphones, is wrapped in a dust filter and hidden in his medium-long hair.

The ears gave up the appearance of human ears and instead used small radio receivers that looked very rough——

All these organs seem to be made of materials similar to steel alloys, but in fact most of them are some kind of "air conductor"——

These organs can receive various sensory signals from the air and use them to replace the functions of the original five senses.

Because it looks too similar to a doll, this face gives people a very abstract feeling at first glance. Fortunately, Klein is used to it and doesn't find it too scary.

The magpie's two protruding eyes stared at the tablet, and the electronic sound simulated by the sound chip was full of excitement:

"Your synchronization rate still remains above 90%, and your mental deviation has never exceeded 10%, which means that you will not even lose control in a short period of time.

For an executor, this is nothing short of a miracle!"

Magpie moved his fingers and quickly typed something on the tablet.

Klein ignored him and just lay quietly on the operating table, waiting for the robotic arm to repair his body.

The magpie obviously didn't care about his ignorance and chattered around him. The excitement simulated by the software in the unique sharp electronic sound was enough to make any normal person feel uncomfortable:

"To be honest, when they finalized the production plan of [Beisan], I told them that the materials used in the configuration were too poor. Even if the receptor synchronization rate is good, such a configuration is just a waste of the receptor's talent.

Up to now, your biochip has suffered excessive hardware loss due to overclocking. If the Northern Bureau agrees to let me refurbish your hardware, I can extend your life for at least one year, but the Northern Bureau has made it clear that it is not necessary.

What a pity, Beisan."

Klein opened his eyes that had just been repaired by the robotic arm.

"I overstepped their authority and they were afraid of me."

The magpie's mouth, which was crowded with microphones, grinned to both sides, and the machine made a slight "squeak" sound due to the squeeze:

"Is there a possibility that this authority itself was given to you by them?"

Klein didn't speak, and his eyes didn't even tremble.

Magpie seemed to be sure that Klein would not resist, and continued:

"Is there a possibility that although you have been given a clear mission, the whole process - from your birth, to the mission given to you by the North Bureau, to you using the bug of the biochip to transcend the cognition they gave you

, after awakening the memory of your previous life as [Klain Justus], you thought you had a [self], so you did some things that you thought were in line with your [self], and were in line with the behavior of [Klain Justus]

The matter of motivation - whether it is possible, this whole process is within the scope of their experiments."

Klein spoke, his voice hoarse:

"I'm not dead..."

The magpie put his fingers to his mouth and made a "shhhhhhh" sound to stop him from continuing to speak.

The strange thing is that such a childish move actually stopped Klein from speaking - his mouth just disappeared out of thin air, leaving not even a trace of his mouth.

The defense came to an abrupt end.

"Birth and death, to you, are essentially the same thing."

The magpie's facial features made brief movements along their respective grooves.

"When the biochip was burned into the [Executor Operating System], you were born, and your brain went blank, so the original data in this body's head - [Memory of Klein Justus], was

loaded into this system.

You [live] in this world as [Kline Justus], and the [Executor Operating System] invokes the behavior pattern of [Klain Justus], allowing you to live in this world as [Klain Justus].

"Justus" way of life, and regard the worldview and values ​​of "Klein Justus" as your life creed - all of which form the motivation for any of your actions.

You think you are [Kleon Justus], but in fact you are just [Beisan] - you are the [Executor Operating System], and your version number is 3.0."

Magpie looked at Klein's eyes that had not changed. He knew that it was the indifference caused by the executor being blocked from expressing his emotions, and not the lack of emotions.

Magpie will complete his mission so far, but before that, he wants to satisfy his own selfishness - he wants to see what kind of stumbling blocks there are in finding another way out for carbon-based life.

Today is the last chance. After today, he may lose any chance to communicate with the executor.

So, he began to continue testing:

“[The executor operating system] is incomplete, especially with the help of poor bioelectronic technology in the past few years, the entire system is full of various bugs.

The 1.0 and 2.0 versions of [Executor Operating System], that is, North One and North Two, both experienced system crashes due to too many bugs. You already know what they did, and you also know their fate.

very clear.

You are lucky, Beisan - or version 3.0 of the [Executor Operating System]. In the modern era of the explosion of bioelectronic technology, not only have all the bugs in Beisan and Beisan been fixed, new technologies have also patched some foreseeable problems.

Vicious BUG."

Magpie didn't understand Klein's composure.

Even bionic humans based on operating systems at least have something like [self] - [self] is the anchor point for the executor to identify whether he or she is "living in this world".

When [self] is denied, even a monster like the executor should not have any reaction.

The logical killer weapon of "denying [self]" is highly targeted to monsters like executors, because the executor's life logic is not a closed loop - the executor's life logic has not yet formed a closed loop, and only needs to understand the life logic.

Attacking the missing parts can cause problems in their lives——

The question "whether [self] exists" directly attacks the logic of the entire life of the executor - you are just the operating system, and your consciousness comes from the operating system calling the corpse's brain memory and reorganizing it. So, are you?

Independent individual? Is your consciousness your own consciousness? Are your thoughts generated by you "yourself", or are they simulated variables generated by the system in response to the environment?

If you can't answer this question, you are in vain.

If you establish the concept of yourself as nothingness, life will deny itself.

Once life denies itself, its performance in reality is "suicide" - this result has been verified countless times by major institutions over the past many years.

Beisan, what will you do after you realize that you are not even an independent individual, but just a simulation program created by calling the memory of a dead person?

Will you go crazy like your predecessors and do something completely unethical, or something else?

The magpie was extremely eager to know the answer to this question.

"You're not perfect, but you're much better than the two guys before.

Now, you have completed your mission - not only have you extended the expected life cycle by a full month, you have even captured a [Generation Ember] for the Northern Bureau, which is really beyond everyone's expectations.

"

Magpie lamented that the mechanical facial features could not simulate his emotions.

While sighing, he looked into Klein's eyes and pointed on the tablet, lifting Klein's language restrictions.

Klein's mouth reappeared on his face.

He did not shy away from his motives, looked at the tablet in Magpie's hand, and said:

"Is that the chip that can control my brain waves?"

The magpie answered in a happy voice:

"Yes, it is the same model as the chip in mobile phones. It is very easy to use."

Klein's eyes flickered between the tablet and the magpie's face:

"The cooperation between your Machinery Association and the Northern Bureau has deepened. This is not a good thing. The Northern Bureau's involvement in the secular world is getting stronger and stronger, and serious conflicts have broken out with other forces - their method of collecting [Embers of Generations] is to fight against the entire

The world is the enemy.”

The magpie's happy voice raised two tones:

"Are you sowing discord? Beisan! You actually start to sow discord, and you don't even care about the fact that you are just an operating system, not [Kline Justus]?!"

Magpie pushed the tablet very close to Klein:

"Look! Take a good look! You have been killed! You are already dead! You are soaked in a chemical solution! You are placed in the data turbulence! You are already dead!"

The tablet displays several videos being played simultaneously.

In the first video, the streets were burning under the heavy snow, and a blood flower bloomed on Klein's forehead. The blood flower came from a certain bullet empowered by the [Law of Conviction]. It was something that Klein had never seen before.

past things.

In the second video, Klein, who was completely unconscious, was immersed in a giant barrel-shaped container. The fatal injury on his head had been repaired. His eyes were closed when he was immersed in an unknown solution. His skin was pale and he had lost everything.

vital signs.

In the third video, Klein is sitting in a small dark room with only a spotlight on him. His eyes are as white as a zombie. There are obvious signs of shrinkage caused by immersion on his body. The video is played repeatedly in front of him.

The scenes from his lifetime were memory images extracted from his head.

In the fourth video, various components are implanted in Klein's brain. Those components are different from normal electronic components and have obvious biological characteristics - they are some kind of "biological components" that are defined as

The new technological parts of "electronic components" - have the same logical structure as the bioelectronic devices in mobile phones, and are the products of the Mechanical Ascension Esoteric Order.
