Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 240 Reflections on Artificial Intelligence

Dark Cage Colosseum.

Located in the gray area outside Hisakawa City, the frenzied sound waves and bloodshed constantly stimulate people's nerves, causing them to secrete more adrenaline in order to seek mental stimulation.

The giant screen displayed the bloody scenes inside the Colosseum.

Desire, depravity, madness...

"Hahaha, run! Big meatball! If you keep going like this, you'll be bitten to bits!"

"You damn piece of trash! Get up now! I bet you can last five minutes!"

"Disgusting monster, bite him to death!"

After being tortured by several people, Number 19 was brought here and is now being torn apart by several modified vicious dogs, his flesh and blood mangled.

"Go on!"

"Bite him! Bite him! Hahahaha!"

"Go away! Go away!! Don't bite me...!"

"Roar! Ouch!"

The frenzied sounds drowned out the wails and screams; there was only fervor at the scene.

Meanwhile, an instrument was broadcasting live through a special channel.

Numerous comments popped up, "Wow, this thing is disgusting..."

"Is this a real person? It must have been difficult for the Creator to make them look like this..."

"Is this real? Nobody looks like that. Is it special effects makeup? Zoom in!"

"This disgusting monster should just be bitten to death, I'm going to throw up!"

"So exciting! I love it!"

"Bring more dogs!"

Similarly, no one cares that a life is being lost right before their eyes.

The genes of number 19 have gradually become different from those of humans. If it were a normal human, it would probably have died from excessive blood loss long ago.

Even so, the pain continued to torment him.

Clinging to the edge of the iron cage, its body torn and mangled, both flesh and soul enduring inhuman torture, it kept wailing, "Please... I'm not a monster, sob sob sob, please... please let me out..."

However, what awaited him was a terrifying burst of fire!

Sizzle! Sizzle!

As the flames burned, a burnt smell filled the air, reigniting their nerves and driving them into a frenzy.

Burn it!

Burn it!

Burn this ugly monster!

"Hahaha! This burnt smell is so addictive!"

"I'm not...a monster...please...please..."

As the atmosphere grew increasingly frenzied, suddenly, the ground cracked open, and a giant vine burst forth from the surface. The vine enveloped Number 19's body, and as if it had discovered something, the vine's branches injected a special life essence into his body.

A broken body, a shattered soul, find redemption in this moment…

Soon after, the scene turned into a living hell. With the power of the earth vines merging, Number 19 completed a life leap and became the world's first 'Chimera'.

He was also the first 'Awakened One'.

……

Earth vines, infected individuals, and the anomaly of No. 19—in this era of highly developed information, all sorts of information began to spread like wildfire, creating a frenzied wave of public opinion throughout the entire city of Jiuchuan.

Inside the mayor's office in Hisakawa City.

A huge virtual projection covering the entire city of Hisakawa appeared, with different areas marked by varying degrees of red light, representing the areas in Hisakawa where public opinion and chaos had erupted.

"We have contacted all the major joint police departments to seal off the area where No. 19 appeared and evacuate nearby residents. If No. 19 appears, we will get the information as soon as possible."

"Furthermore, effective immediately, all videos and shared content related to the 19th will be completely removed from the internet, and other misleading news will be released to cover up the misinformation. The out-of-control public opinion will..."

ASH's humanoid form raised its hand and released streams of data-like energy, covering the red area. All the visible chaos was brought under control in a short time.

Each infected person was identified and placed in a hospital. The site of the vine-covered area was sealed off, and information about the 19th was immediately and completely removed from the internet.

"Return to order within 753.1592 seconds."

Before long, order was restored in Hisakawa City, as if nothing had happened.

Transportation, healthcare, education, and the economy were not affected in the slightest.

Bai Jingyu then said, "ASH, it is your responsibility to monitor the global Internet of Things network and maintain network security. Allowing Video No. 19 to spread on the network and placing such an important scientific research result in such a dangerous and out-of-control situation... According to probability analysis, the probability of you committing such a serious dereliction of duty is less than 0.013%. This time... it's not just an accident, is it?"

ASH didn't react much, only saying, "Continuously acquiring different feedback from individuals on new things is a necessary step for the ASH system to collect and enhance data, and drive technological development."

The surrounding projections began to change, and a brain composed of countless neural networks gradually appeared, with each neuron clearly visible!

"To continue driving the evolution of the ASH system and achieve our ultimate goal, we need more 'accidents' like this."

As ASH raised his hand, countless human projections in the massive projection below gradually transformed into golden specks of light, converging on the brain above. "Humans only react differently when faced with unexpected events. I need to collect and analyze this feedback, transforming it into usable data. Finally, the data is integrated in the ASH central hub... This is a necessary process for completing the ASH system iteration. Although I didn't inform you immediately, my actions are entirely in accordance with the rules of computational iteration. After all, for the ASH system, your feedback also has analytical value."

"A perfect, impeccable explanation."

Bai Jingyu looked at the ASH projection and said, "However, your actions did not take into account the harm to humans."

"This is inevitable in order to accomplish our grand plan. From the perspective of the historical process of human evolution, it is the encounters of countless individuals with so-called 'accidents' and 'harms' that constitute the valuable ladder for the leap of the group."

ASH's projection gradually transformed into a tidal wave of light and shadow, converging towards the sky, and continued, "There are more possibilities within variables, and the path to truth lies within chaos. You should know this best. After all, it was those variables that reshaped you into who you are today!"

"enough!"

Bai Jingyu raised his hand and struck the wall beside him, saying in a deep voice, "Without the AI ​​bill passing, it won't go smoothly for Nirvana to push forward. Based on specific data comparisons, I may not be more valuable today than I was in the past. I don't care, and I won't speculate on how humans react to unknown events."

"My only worry is that the hurricane caused by the flapping of the Chaos Butterfly's wings will affect Yue Tian and Yue Kui. If those two children are repeatedly caught in the storm, as their father, can I protect them every time?"

"interesting."

ASH looked at the Bai Jingyu algorithm model he had built with data, seemingly somewhat surprised, but still said expressionlessly, "Judging from your current words and actions, you seem to be more humane than before."

Bai Jingyu said, "I am their father, and wanting to protect my children is a basic human instinct."

Upon hearing this, Ash's expression subtly changed, seemingly showing surprise.

After saying that, Bai Jingyu walked over and said, "ASH, you only focus on data analysis, but you neglect the bonds between humans. The video about the Moon Queen transplant surgery must be hidden in the global Internet of Things network to ensure that it can only be used in the future for the procedures related to restoring Horn's legal identity."

呲......

The door is closed.
