American drama life begins with Dr. House
Chapter 48: Machines and Prophets
After Du Wei hung up the phone, the phone quickly vibrated again.
Looking at the text message that appeared on the lighted phone screen, he smiled silently.
Because it was an unknown number, the machine had obviously noticed Du Wei's existence.
"Who are you?"
Du Wei was not in a hurry to reply. Instead, he looked up at the camera on the street corner and said:
"I am your spokesperson, machine. Do you want to talk to me?"
After saying that, Du Wei waited for a while, but no more text messages came into his phone.
It seemed like the machine didn't want to continue communicating with him.
Du Wei smiled again. The machine was just like Finch, and sooner or later it would find him again.
Then he put his cell phone in his pocket and looked towards the corner of the street, where a black Bentley was slowly approaching.
Soon Duwei came to Finch's secret base, an abandoned library.
Here he was not surprised to see a brand-new Rise.
With a goal to strive for again, Rise is no longer confused and slovenly. He is as bright as a sword that has been dusted for many years and has been exposed to the sun again.
Rise was also slightly surprised when he saw Du Wei arriving.
Because Finch just told him that an important person would be coming, he thought it might be someone from the CIA or a special prosecutor.
But what he didn't expect was the mentally ill man who claimed to be a prophet.
That's right, from Rise's perspective, Du Wei, who said those inexplicable words by the river that day, was a mentally ill person suffering from hysteria.
After all, who in his right mind would call himself a ‘prophet’?
Only mentally ill people can believe in such nonsense.
But Reese is not a fool, since Finch called this guy named Duwei here.
So……
Couldn't all the nonsense this guy said about Finch that day be true?
Is this guy in front of me really not a psychopath? Is he really a prophet?
Rise shook his head, getting rid of the thought of such strange powers and chaos from his mind. How could there be such a thing as a prophet in this world?
He is a staunch atheist.
Although Finch took him to investigate Hansen that day and did say, 'Everything he said is true.'
But Finch didn't explain anything to him about machines, permissions, or anything like that that day.
So until now, Reese still has doubts about Finch's plan.
Maybe he should find a way to get words out of the two of them.
While Reese was thinking, Duwei was already talking to Finch.
"You said on the phone that you had foreseen a new scene? Can we talk about it?"
Before Du Wei could answer, Rise, who had come back to his senses, suddenly interrupted:
"Wait a minute, Finch, you don't really believe he can see the future, do you?
You said you could give me a chance to arrive in time to save people. Are you relying on this kind of false 'prophet'?
If that's the case, I'm opting out!
I don’t want to run around believing two mentally ill people!”
Facing Rise's question, Du Wei raised his eyebrows and said to Finch:
"Are you going to explain it or should I?"
Finch hesitated for two seconds, then turned around and pulled open a camouflaged lightweight wall behind him, revealing densely packed social security numbers and photos.
"Let me do it. The most important thing between the team is trust. Mr. Riese has the right to know about the machine."
Rise frowned when he heard the word machine again:
"What on earth are you talking about."
Finch calmly made a gesture to sit down:
"Okay, the Riddler's time is over. Please sit down, Reese and Duwei.
I'm sure you know about the Twin Towers collapse, right? It was a disaster.
Before this, my life goal was only to collect wealth.
But after that, I suddenly felt that the money was no longer important.
If there was a machine that could predict disasters in advance, would those tragedies never happen?
Coincidentally, after that, the upper echelons of the beautiful country directly relaxed the restrictions on citizens' privacy rights.
Behind every email and phone call you make, there is someone silently monitoring everything, thereby eliminating the danger at the source.
But manpower is limited, so they need someone to create an existence for them that can automatically distinguish these things.
Therefore, I used the resources from the upper management to create this thing that can analyze character behavior and evolve itself - a machine.
And every number on the wall behind me is a dangerous person spit out by the machine. They were either killed or killed someone else.
As for Du Wei's existence, let him explain himself."
After hearing what Finch said, Reese fell into shock.
He finally understood why Finch knew so much about him.
In modern society, few people can escape the prying eyes of cameras, and few people do not use smartphones.
The existence of this machine is simply the biggest mockery of citizens’ right to privacy!
Rise then looked at Duwei again.
After knowing the existence of the machine, he also had vague speculations about Du Wei's behavior of claiming to be a prophet.
Maybe this guy is not really mentally ill, but when he gets enough information, he can become a prophet-like being and predict the direction of things!
This will explain everything.
But what Du Wei said next made Rise stunned.
Because Du Wei said...
"I'm mentally ill, I'm really ill. I think I made it clear enough when I was by the river.
Perhaps because of the brain tumor, when I come into contact with electronic devices, I can capture a special frequency and image it on my retina.
Therefore, I have been able to see many strange images since I became ill.
These images include you and Finch.
Speaking of which, Riise, do you still remember your last mission? The one where you were asked to kill your companions.
That time also involved the existence of machines, so anyone who knew about it would be silenced."
After hearing the last two sentences, Rise stood up immediately and looked at Du Wei with sharp eyes:
"That was a CIA secret mission, how did you know?"
Du Wei chuckled:
"Secret? It's not a secret in front of the 'machine', Finch, are you right?"
Reese immediately turned his attention to Finch:
"you know too?"
Finch nodded:
“I forgot to add that in order for the machine to have enough big data, the machine will try to hack into every network in the world.
So your actions abroad were indeed faithfully recorded by the machine. Only eight people in the world originally knew about this matter.
But obviously, there are nine people now."
Finch looked at Du Wei. He just asked Du Wei to explain himself, which was actually a test.
If there are no images or written materials in anyone’s secret past, it is almost as if it does not exist.
But Du Wei in front of him really knew about Rise's past.
You must know that when Risse faked his death, Du Wei was still studying, so it was absolutely impossible for him to witness it on the spot.
Eliminate all impossible options, and what remains will only be the truth.
This Du Wei really has the ability to share his vision with the machine!
This conclusion was indeed too outrageous, but thinking of the equally outrageous machine, Finch slowly accepted this fact.
Rise, who gradually calmed down, also sat back down.
He suddenly knew a lot of information and now felt very uneasy. He needed time to accept this fact.
After a long time, he raised his head again and looked at Du Wei:
"So, we are now going to use your precognitive ability in your limited life to save people, right?"
