Hearing this name, Jing Baiye's heart felt like it was stabbed hard, and there was an indescribable strange feeling.
Why...does he think this name sounds familiar?
Has he ever seen this woman called "Shield"?
Seeing Spiatus lowering his head to play with the box on the desktop, Jing Baiye quietly opened the system communication panel. In the silence of the system, he quickly browsed through the character list, but did not find this woman's name.
Jing Baiye frowned. Could it be that he had heard it occasionally in the past but didn't know its appearance? Or had he seen it in his first or second life?
If it is the second case, it is most likely because of the coincidence of the same name - his past two lives were completely different from this peaceful world, and it is impossible for Spiatus to know there, let alone know the people there.
"Is your first love still alive?" Jing Baiye asked.
Spiatus stopped, looked at him and said helplessly: "She has died a long time ago."
Jing Baiye was stunned and realized that he had asked a very offensive question: "I'm sorry..."
It was because he was too negligent. Spiatus looked like he was in his early forties, and he was very young in words and deeds, so he often ignored that he was actually older than Rum, and was of the same generation as Pisco, and that he was his first love.
My lover must be a very old grandmother.
"You don't need to apologize. She was very happy when she died, and I personally sent her on her last journey." Spiatus smiled.
Seeing that he was indeed not angry, Jing Baiye breathed a sigh of relief.
She was very happy when she died. She seemed to be an old woman who died of an ordinary illness and had a very free and easy personality. Spiatus could see her on her last journey, so she must have had a good relationship.
And the idea of inheriting will...
"You want me to resurrect her using artificial intelligence?" Jing Baiye asked strangely.
Reversing time, resurrecting from the dead, and becoming immortal - this is the goal set when the organization was established.
The leaders of the first two generations conducted a large amount of scientific research and did not hesitate to conduct human experiments in order to achieve immortality of the human body;
The third-generation leader, Spiatus, who usurped the throne, opposed human experimentation. He had no interest in physical immortality. What he asked him to do now was to use AI to reproduce a person's will, emotion, and thinking in the world.
.
This can be regarded as resurrection from the dead. If this AI is not deliberately destroyed, this person's spiritual immortality can be achieved.
Compared with those anti-human human experiments, in this era when other robots are quite backward, creating an AI named [Shield]... shouldn't be too harmful, right?
"Do you accept this task?" Spiatus put his hands in his sleeves and asked rhetorically without answering.
Jing Baiye opened his mouth, but did not answer immediately.
Emotionally, he wants to help Spiatus, who is very kind to him, to resurrect his first love;
Rationally, if this task can be completed, Spiatus and the system will give him a high reward. The "Night Baron" virus software has a full 30,000 reward points. This is more difficult and the time span is longer.
The bigger the reward, the greater the reward.
Both emotion and reason told him to accept it.
However, his throat seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand, making him unable to speak, nod or shake his head. There was an invisible force preventing him from accepting this task.
"..."
The room was eerily quiet, and the cat in his arms stopped barking.
The air in the room became thicker, and Jing Baiye felt Spiatus looking at him.
People who have seen the two of them at the same time say that they are very similar, especially those eyes, but Jing Baiye has never thought that way, because he thinks Spiatus's eyes are more beautiful, which is a kind of erosion and danger.
Gorgeous, like drops of blood falling into the darkness along the blade.
Spiatus's eyes were no different from the man in the oil painting on the wall. He didn't show any emotion, just stared at him quietly.
Jing Baiye's heartbeat seemed to have stopped for a moment, and his fingers curled up uncontrollably. He lowered his head and stopped looking at him, and a ridiculous idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Spiatus with such eyes...is he really human?
"Bai Ye, don't be afraid."
Spiatus spoke, and he sighed softly.
He stretched out his hand that was originally in his sleeve, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, attracted Jing Baiye's attention, and then repeated it.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
"..."
Jing Baiye came back to his senses, and he looked at Spiatus again. Those red eyes were still beautiful, but the frightening feeling was gone.
"Is this a mandatory mission?" he asked.
The weird atmosphere just now disappeared, and they continued the topic as if nothing had happened.
"...It's not necessary, it's up to you to decide." Spiatus said in a gentle voice, "I will not force you to do anything you don't want to do, and I will respect your own wishes."
"Then let me think about it." Jing Baiye thought for a while, "I will give you an answer by the concert next Sunday."
"Okay." Spiatus nodded and accepted the time.
Qian Duoduo jumped from Jing Baiye's arms to his shoulders, and rubbed his head gently against Jing Baiye's cheek. Dora, who had been sleeping for a long time, finally woke up and flew to lie down on his other shoulder.
Spiatus did not express any opinion about this strange little bear. He pushed the strange box on the table to Jing Baiye:
"This is Sansui Kichiemon's mechanism box, and inside is part of the shield's relics." He said, "Whether you accept this mission or not, just accept it."
Jing Baiye hesitantly raised the box and shook it slightly. There was a noise inside. It seemed that it was not a paper relic.
"Does this box have a password?" He noticed the number wheel on the front of the box.
"Eniak's birthday."
Spiatus did not act as the Riddler and directly told Jing Baiye the answer.
…
Jing Baiye had a cat and a bear lying on his shoulders, holding a mechanism box in his hand, and returned to the Maoyue Room on the first floor.
The three subordinates were all in the Japanese room, and the four beds had been made. Toru Amuro and Morohoshi were staying at the farthest place from each other. Fortunately, there was no quarrel, and the room was intact. Scotland sat aside, looking a little tired.
, seems to have given up on correcting both of them.
Dora's eyes lit up at Toru Amuro, and it left Jie Baiye's shoulder, flapping its wings and flew toward him.
Without even looking at it, Toru Amuro raised his hand and grabbed its head as accurately as catching a baseball. He looked at the thing in Jing Baiye's hand: "What is this?"
"Spiatus gave it to me, and I don't know what's in it."
Jing Baiye walked to his bed and sat down, and the other three naturally gathered around him.
"Grey, let me check first." Guardian Scotland said.
Jie Byakuya didn't think there would be any problem with the box. Spiatus would not harm him like this, so he still handed the thing to Scotland: "Be careful, this is Sansui Kichiemon's mechanism box. If you enter the wrong password,
A needle will pop out."
Scotland looked at the hole on the box: "What's the password?"
"19460214."
Scotland entered the password and heard a click, and the drawer at the other end of the box popped out automatically.
He didn't reach for it directly, but turned the box over. The contents of the drawer - a round glass bottle the size of a perfume bottle with a label on the front - just fell onto the quilt and rolled in front of Jing Baiye.
"This is……"
Toru Amuro frowned, not caring about Dora, breaking away from his hand and climbing onto his shoulder.
Jing Baiye picked up the glass bottle, and the four of them looked at the contents of the bottle together.
I saw the label "left eye" written on the bottle, and there was a complete blue eyeball floating up and down in the unknown liquid.
