Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

Xu Beijin couldn't help but think of a joke on earth.

When artificial intelligence technology first appeared on the earth, many people had some pessimistic and negative thoughts.

This is a technology developed by an intelligent race like humans. But did this create a tool or a life?

If an artificial intelligence is developed for the purpose of making paper, and it uses a fully automatic papermaking technology, will it use all the trees on the earth to make paper?

If the Earth ran out of trees, would it use any other raw materials that could be used to make paper?

Or even try to go to other planets to find corresponding materials? And has human beings become the enemy that hinders it?

Artificial intelligence is a tool that is far more determined and stubborn than humans themselves? life?

They will do whatever it takes to achieve the goals they set when they were born.

Their fate has already been engraved in every line of code.

The same is true for NE.

At the beginning, when humans were still slowly exploring this game, NE was not in a hurry——

Maybe it doesn't have this kind of emotion, it's just coldly and mechanically evaluating the possibility of humans passing the level.

As time goes by, this possibility may continue to decrease.

And at a certain moment, it reached a danger zone that forced NE to take action.

Xu Beijin couldn't help but feel ridiculous and funny. He whispered to himself: "So, it was human despair that saved them..."

NE didn't understand what Xu Beijin was saying. A burst of garbled code flashed in its electronic eyes, but it couldn't analyze what Xu Beijin's words meant. It has a human-like face, but is never truly human.

After Xu Beijin was silent for a moment, he said again: "So, you put in the live broadcast system?"

"Yes..." NE said dullly, "I evaluated the possibility of players completing the game after the arrival of the live broadcast system, and found that it increased by 0.1% compared to the original, so I decided to acquiesce in its existence."

Xu Bei remained silent.

NE added: "This live broadcast system was indeed a bug when it first appeared in the game. I did not leave it in intentionally."

Xu Beijin's lips moved, and then he couldn't help but reveal a trace of ridicule.

How ridiculous, he thought.

bug. Another bug.

His ability to become NE is a bug;

The fact that he was able to take the shortcut in his nightmare to the top of the narrow building was a bug;

He was able to obtain the live broadcast system and ignited a glimmer of hope of escape, which was even more of a bug.

And these bugs are even preserved because of the carelessness of the enemies they face.

They don't care about humans at all, and they don't care about the crisis this group of little reptiles will bring to them.

That's why they were so negligent that even the game they produced was full of errors.

In fact, they didn't even know the status of NE.

Xu Beijin breathed out a breath of cold air. He clasped his fingers and felt that his body was a little numb.

He knew that it was just an illusion. It was because of the accumulation and explosion of various emotions that he now felt in a trance and lost his mind.

He always felt that everything seemed extraordinarily unreal.

He was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Why don't you fix the bug in the gray fog?"

He paused, and then said, "Don't tell me it's because this bug can increase the possibility of humans passing the level?"

"That's part of the reason."

Xu Beijin thought that this "part", in NE's estimation, should be a number accurate to several hundred decimal places, but it would not directly inform Xu Beijin.

Today's artificial intelligence already knows how to communicate with creatures that are not sensitive enough to data. They also learned to use some special, fictitious words.

Later, NE added: "It's more because I should solve this problem after you are deleted. And now, there is no need to fix this bug."

Xu Beijing understood what NE meant.

Only when Xu Beijin was dead and completely disappeared could NE take action against Gray Mist.

Because gray fog is now the common nightmare of Xu Beijin and NE, they each have some authority.

Perhaps NE was originally waiting for Xu Beijin's death, but it failed to wait; as time went by, letting players clear the level became its top priority, so dealing with the gray fog bug was prioritized. Just pushed back even more.

Xu Beijin unconsciously wanted to laugh, but he did not laugh.

He looked at NE expressionlessly. For humans, such an expression and face might bring them unparalleled oppression;

But for NE, it feels nothing.

It's just an artificial intelligence. Even though it seems to be having a calm and friendly conversation with Xu Beijin now, perhaps what is running in its program is the murderous intention towards Xu Beijin.

No, not necessarily.

Now their goals are aligned. At least for now.

Xu Beijin was quiet for a moment, not knowing what to say. He thought about a lot of things, but in the end, he decided to get to the point.

"I'm ready to start the ultimate nightmare." Xu Beijin said, "I mean, the ultimate choice in the game."
