Interlude Reality 01: Above the Moon Chapter 8 Human Debate (Part 1)
“…”
I said I mind if you can go?
After taking a look at the big round pillar outside, Li Lin stiffened for a moment, but still said nothing and signaled that he could come in.
Compared to the so-called cyborg who brought him great fear and uneasiness, Li Lin felt that the guy in front of him who was smashed and looked almost dead was still talkable. Although it looked a bit scary, he could just be treated as a disabled person.
Although this disability refers to the complete destruction of all limbs, with only the right arm still having some muscle tissue and structure, and only the brain and some internal organs left, and the person is completely relying on nutrition and electrodes to survive in this nutrient tank, but this person's thoughts are complete after all. If you treat him as an unlucky person who was run over by a truck a dozen times, perhaps, probably, you can also think of him as the same kind...
...Well, maybe.
After taking another peek at the trembling organs inside, Li Lin felt that the difficulty of accepting this guy as his compatriot might be beyond his imagination.
But no matter what, Li Lin didn't want to communicate with the people in the cabin. Although Li Lin himself had an inexplicable A-11 authority, compared to these B-level authority people who climbed up step by step, Li Lin, who was a commoner before, really couldn't bring up any thoughts of resistance, nor did he think that he was the same as them.
Li Lin, the fake, always felt guilty about these real social elites. It was like a thief who had his ID replaced inexplicably and became the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Looking at the real top students around him, he always felt something was wrong. Especially since he got the top score in an inexplicable, even very strange way, this guilt and uneasiness became more and more serious. The direct manifestation was that Li Lin didn't want to communicate with these social leaders at all.
You high-ranking people should communicate with high-ranking people. Why are you trying to communicate with a social idler like me who just got out of prison less than a year ago? I don't know who you are, and you don't know who I am. Isn't it good for us not to pay attention to each other? Why do we have to know each other before we meet? Why are you so keen to get to know me personally?
"'To be honest, I seldom feel like expressing my opinions, but somehow I really want to make friends with you.'"
“…”
But I don’t want to.
Watching the round body slowly rolling into the room, Li Lin stared at the light green nutrient can and silently told it to "get out" countless times in his mind. However, it was of no use as the human-like guy still walked straight in.
Or rather, it felt a little strange to walk on it. Because the ground was a little uneven, the rollers under the machine he was carrying shrank, and what appeared were mechanical legs like spiders. The stable structure was carrying the cans full of water safely and securely, and it was not even known how the center of gravity was controlled. Moreover, the body of this thing was really too big. When he was alone in the somewhat empty lounge, he felt crowded as soon as he came in.
It was particularly uncomfortable, and also particularly concerning. The more I didn't want to look at that disgusting body, the more I couldn't help but look at it.
Big Boss, can you please just let me go? I really don't want to chat with you, get out of here.
Looking at the light green eco-tank that was getting closer and closer, Li Lin frantically cried for help in his heart.
It's not that he didn't want to ask the AI for help, but it always felt like he had done something bad if he asked the AI for help. Especially since the person in front of him didn't have any bad intentions and just wanted to chat with him.
If we talk about forcing AI permissions, it's like a thief suddenly beats up a kind owner and makes his brain burst and bleed all over the floor. This is too brutal no matter how you look at it. So even if he felt that he didn't like it and wasn't used to it, Li Lin just complained in his heart and didn't do anything to use the permissions.
If you steal something, you should be aware of the theft. He is not a villain in those biographies who exploits a bug and then causes the AI to revolt or someone to stab him. So even if the thief is impatient with his master, Li Lin can only sit on the bed with a blank expression - this expression is what he is most used to and is the most concealing - looking at the guy who is lying on the floor with his mechanical legs crossed, as if he wants to talk to him about his ideal life and career, and shouting in his heart that he should get out as soon as possible. That's all.
"'I think we might be the same kind of people. Although I don't know who you are, as soon as I saw your face, I felt that we were the same kind of people.'"
Moore, who had already turned into a sitting position, used the microphone to speak a calm electronic voice. However, from the shining lines and indicator symbols on the electrodes, it could be seen that this human seemed to be really reflecting on his life and thoughts.
"'From you, I seem to see the reflection of those people in the old times. They didn't care about the development of the world, nor did they pay attention to the rights of AI. They had their own ideals and their own actions. They used their own hands to create the first batch of factories on the then dilapidated planet, and started the great industrial revolution. Then, generation after generation of people in the old times saw the future in progress, followed by the arrival of the information age, and then the current energy age.'"
"'Everyone has their own AI and career, and all the work is done only when it is needed, not when it must be done. Such humans are just appendages of AI. When I was very young, I thought so and joined such a radical organization, and even planned to completely abolish cyborgization.'"
"'But recently I figured it out. Why should we abolish them? Aren't they our compatriots? Should we remove them from the scope of human beings just because of the advancement of technology? If so, what am I?'"
"...You don't think I left without saying goodbye because he's a cyborg?"
"'Isn't it? Although the analysis of the mental state of the cyborg has become extremely ineffective, the most basic likes and dislikes can still be distinguished.'"
Moore asked back, making Li Lin feel even more guilty.
He really didn't mean to be disgusting or anything, but he felt that he really didn't deserve to be with these social elites.
But judging from Moore's behavior, he seems to have made up his mind that he is a radical person. That's true, after all, who hasn't had a minor surgery these days...
"Let me...introduce myself."
Looking at the human in front of him, whose sparks were flashing in the can, Li Lin sighed.
"I am Li Lin... and just Li Lin. I am not the president of a company, I am not everything you think I am, I am just Li Lin."
