2:13 am.
Ran Zai yawned and looked at the man on the surveillance camera. He was talking about his wife's recent changes. The man had physical illness and was unable to withstand some heavy physical labor.
Recently, because many places on the ground floor are allowed to set up stalls, my wife takes care of her husband and children at night, and sets up a stall to sell noodles during the day. At first, my wife took out food at the mechanical ball experience store in Section 13.
Later we moved to the side of the ring road, because it was more lively there, with people eating from morning to night.
The husband's biggest feeling is that his wife has become very cold. Although the interaction with the children and taking care of herself can still make people feel warm, the wife's behavior is too mechanical.
The man was being questioned by a person from Section 2. He seemed very distressed. His wife had just come back tonight, but suddenly she got up and said she had forgotten something and left the house. Now the wife has disappeared.
On the other side of the picture, the upper-class couple who lost their child looked very uncomfortable. Both husband and wife were crying. They finally felt relieved that their son had such a happy change, but now his son has disappeared inexplicably.
This little boy also ran away at night. It wasn't until someone from Section 2 knocked on their door that they discovered that the child was missing, even though he was still fine around 11 p.m.
Ran Zai pressed his forehead. He was already sure that these people should have been replaced by something, such as AI.
"Is it true?"
Leng Rui yawned and rested his head on his head. Yu Fangfang looked at him in surprise. A bunch of directors from Division 2 found it very incredible.
"This has happened before during our independent investigation. I thought it was exposed, but it was not. After that incident, I probably guessed that the AI ​​may have already gained self-awareness."
After Ran Zai finished speaking, Leng Rui looked at the independently developed AI Prometheus on the side of the screen and asked.
"What do you think?"
Prometheus laughed.
"I've told you before, the AI ​​in Brilliant City is strange, and most of the control is no longer in the hands of humans."
Leng Rui has seen the recent AI operation trajectory of the city. Everything is normal. Section 10 is already investigating, but several incidents of relatives disappearing at the same time are right in front of him. Ran Zai's conclusion is Xu Yao's evidence.
to verify.
"Anyway, I can't imagine how to replace a living person and live like that person. Wouldn't it be discovered?"
After Leng Rui finished speaking, Ran Zai smiled.
“Isn’t it true that we have been discovered now?”
Several other groups of people who discovered changes in their relatives are being questioned, but the information received is similar. They all suddenly discovered the changes a few months ago.
"The key is to catch one and it will be easy."
A director from Division 2 said, and Ran Zai smiled.
"There is a way, I think you can try it."
After Ran Zai finished speaking, everyone looked at him and Ran Zai said.
"Turn off the power signal."
Leng Rui immediately smiled.
"It's simply impossible. If we do this, the whole city will be paralyzed in an instant."
Ran Zai nodded helplessly. It is indeed impossible to turn off the power signal suddenly. This will cause very serious problems. So now everyone can only find a way to catch a person who has been replaced by AI. As long as they catch one, they can
A breakthrough has opened.
"If you were doubtful at the time, why didn't you take action? Now if you miss the opportunity, it will be gone. There are so many surveillances on the streets, and our every move is under the eyes of AI."
After Leng Rui finished speaking, a Section 2 director said.
"We can start with the movements of these people in recent months. I think it is necessary to conduct a detailed investigation of where they have been in the past few months, and then start to check these things. Maybe we can find some useful things.
"
Ran Zai stood up and said.
"That's all we can do for now. Let's take a rest first and work hard to deal with this matter tomorrow. If it is true that humans have been replaced as I guessed, then it means that a large number of people in the city have been replaced.
Once replaced, the quantity will not be small."
Leng Rui still didn't quite believe it, because this kind of thing was too magical for him, he said.
"It's really fake."
Everyone got up and planned to take a rest, while several directors from Section 2 would go directly to arrange a secret investigation to investigate all the places where these missing people had been in the past few months.
This is the only feasible method for them at present. As long as they find a little clue, they can prove that Ran Zai's inference is correct.
Ran Zai returned to the lobby on the fourth floor. He sat tiredly in the living room. Yu Fangfang and Leng Rui also came down.
"Do you want to eat something? Ran Zai, Xiao Leng wants to eat."
Ran Zai nodded. He was hungry after working for a while. It was already past 3 a.m., and he would have to rest until around 8 o'clock tomorrow morning at most. He would have to get up to continue investigating this matter, and Ran Zai felt that this matter must be a priority.
Investigative.
"I was really impulsive just now. I thought I could catch that kid easily, but I didn't expect him to run away."
Ran Zai said, and Leng Rui said next to him.
"If it were me, I would definitely find a way to do it directly."
Ran Zai smiled helplessly. If he had done it before, he would have done it, but now he is a member of Section 13, so he can't do it at will. But if the opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find them now.
The surveillance cameras near the barbecue restaurant have been retrieved. Although there is footage of Hernan escaping, he was nowhere to be found after he disappeared from the surveillance camera's blind spot, as if he had disappeared into the area in an instant.
"Do you think it's possible for them to have invisibility like mutants?"
Ran Zai asked, Leng Rui thought for a while and said.
"It's possible, but I still find it a bit incredible."
After a while, Yu Fangfang brought food, Ran Zai took out a bottle of wine, Leng Rui frowned slightly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Still drinking, you drank a lot tonight."
Ran Zai poured a glass for Leng Rui and said.
"You should drink some too, so you can sleep well later."
4:29 am.
Boom, boom, boom.
A knock on the door woke up Tang Ye on the sofa. He quickly stood up, grabbed the gun under the pillow, and released the safety. He watched the AI ​​walk over, and Tang Ye hurriedly turned over and hid behind the sofa.
Click.
The door opened and two people walked in, a little boy and a young man. Then AI closed the door. Tang Ye looked at the two people who came in suspiciously and breathed a sigh of relief. They should be the people who had been replaced.
"What's going on?"
Tang Ye asked. The three new AI humans looked at Tang Ye, and the child among them said.
"We have been discovered by the Xingke Branch. The probability of the next new human being being discovered is currently as high as 46.3%."
"How was it discovered?"
Tang Ye looked at them in disbelief. The new AI humans were the last bit of power that Tang Ye relied on, but if they were discovered, it would be over. They should want to penetrate into all walks of life of mankind, and at a certain time
, do something suddenly, and it can detonate the city in an instant.
Tang Ye's scalp was numb. He didn't know how the business department discovered these new humans, so he asked.
"How many people have you discovered so far?"
The child new human said.
"5 people."
Tang Ye felt that something was not good. Although the AIs did not say how many humans they had replaced, one thing was for sure, the number was not small, and they should have taken advantage of the chaos to release some new humans recently.
Tang Ye opened the balcony door uneasily and wanted to get some air. The three new AI humans in the room stood motionless in the living room.
Tang Ye couldn't stand such an atmosphere. He really wanted to go out, no matter where he went. Now that he couldn't sleep, he turned around and returned to the house and asked.
"What about the backup plan? You should have prepared a backup plan, right?"
After a while, these new AI humans still didn't answer. Tang Ye walked over angrily and slapped a new human on the head, but it still didn't respond. Sure enough, these things are just lifeless data collections.
Tang Ye returned to the bedroom and just lay down. At this time, there was a fierce knock on the door. Tang Ye was startled. This time he felt that something was wrong. Then Tang Ye immediately got up and looked under the window. Here
It was almost impossible to jump down, but Tang Ye had already prepared a fixed rope and he quickly fished it out from under the bed.
