Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Uncanny Valley.

Xu Beijin recited these three words silently in his heart.

He seemed to have thought of something, so he half-covered his eyes, showing a little weariness.

He curled his fingers subconsciously, as if he wanted to hold a can of drink or something—Ringo's hand, he thought.

But nothing. There is only the cold air on the top floor of the narrow building, and the almost condensed inorganic indifference coming from NE.

NE said: "I don't understand why you would be willing to... help humans like this."

Xu Beijin sighed and said, "I am a human being."

"You're not."

"At least I think so." Xu Beijin raised his eyes, "Compared to artificial intelligence, I have a better sense of human identity."

Chapter 133 Identity

AI.

When Xu Beijin said these four words, he felt calm and sober that he had never imagined.

He can... from a certain perspective, he can be said to be artificial intelligence. But he himself was unwilling to admit this.

Furthermore, as he puts it, he considers himself more of a human being.

At least he doesn't think he is NE. This is the biggest difference between him and NE.

NE said in a confused tone: "I don't understand why you think that."

For an artificial intelligence, NE can certainly simulate this confused emotion.

But since it chose simulation, it means that it really cannot use its own logic program to deduce why Xu Beijin thought so.

In this era, the development of artificial intelligence has exceeded the imagination of this group of humans trapped in a narrow building.

They have been abandoned by the times. Moreover, it can be seen with the naked eye that it is difficult to catch up with this era.

Xu Beijin didn't want to discuss this topic with NE.

That's been the case from the beginning. He and NE are opposite and mutually exclusive. They are like water and fire...

And NE looked at him, and still said in that dull, stiff, jerky, yet truly confused tone: "You are obviously me——"

"It's the part you abandoned."

Xu Beijing said calmly.

For a moment, he himself felt confused.

He thought that he could actually face this matter. He actually can - really can -

Do it, say it calmly, not with some deep self-loathing.

All residents of the Narrow House have various flaws, whether physical or psychological. But Xu Bei had none.

Because he himself is a flaw.

He symbolizes some... incredible coincidence. This coincidence gave Xu Beijin the most special identity in the game, but at the same time, it also became a nightmare that has tortured him for many years.

When humans first entered the game, they were divided into two camps.

If we go by the settings in the game, they are residents of narrow buildings and outsiders.

Outsiders habitually refer to themselves as missionaries, and they think they are the only players in this game world.

They are trapped here, and they need to go into the nightmares of the residents of the narrow building, solve this copy, get the true ending, and finally escape from this narrow building.

In fact, the residents of the narrow building are also players. They call themselves actors because they need to play the role of the "residents of the narrow building" in the game.

In the setting of the game, this is a post-apocalyptic world. The survivors entered a narrow building and clung to their last breath. They are the only survivors left in this world.

The manager of this shelter is an artificial intelligence, and its name is a complicated and difficult-to-remember number. However, in order to compare with NE, it can be called a color.

And it is also a resident of this narrow building, and it also has its own nightmare.

According to the game settings, during the long period of management and waiting, the manager of this narrow building had some problems.

It is risky for outsiders to enter the nightmare of the residents of the narrow building and help them get out of the haze of doomsday.

In other words, once it fails, the crazy outsiders and residents of the narrow building will be thrown out of the narrow building into the gray fog.

Because they have gone crazy. As the manager of this narrow building, Se has the obligation to guard the safety of human survivors. So it will naturally expel those extremely aggressive lunatics.

As a result, there were fewer and fewer living people in the narrow building, while there were more and more lunatics in the gray mist outside the narrow building.

Finally one day, according to this artificial intelligence assessment, the danger of the fog outside the narrow building far exceeded what the humans in the narrow building could bear and handle.

Therefore, Color blocked the exit of the narrow building, because in its view, the gray fog outside the narrow building was a dangerous place and the survivors could not be allowed to pass. The survivors must stay in a safe, enclosed narrow building.

That's its mission.

But humans, the survivors of the apocalypse, don't think so.

They discovered that their companions were disappearing day by day, and the manager of the narrow building did not even allow them to leave the narrow building to search for their missing companions.

The danger signals sent by artificial intelligence are not worth mentioning in the eyes of survivors - the end of the world is of course dangerous and has always been dangerous.
