Being an Extra Actor in an Escape Game

"I..." There was a rare hesitation in NE's voice, "I don't understand what you mean."

Xu Beijing looked at the terrifying scene in front of him, but a happy smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips.

The timing was perfect, he thought. He didn't want to continue arguing with NE about such trivial matters.

He knew early on that he and NE would never understand each other or reconcile.

NE is dissipating. The darkness in this dark space, those numbers, letters, and characters, are eroding NE's body.

Its head is gone, and its neck is slowly turning transparent and then disintegrating.

It is no longer able to maintain this human form.

Just as Xu Bei thought, NE cannot die in this game, and its energy supply lies in the outside world. However, it did fall apart completely. Just as Xu Bei had imagined.

——NE, something went wrong.

In the game setting, those who built the Narrow Building and allowed human survivors to live in it believed that artificial intelligence was impossible to make mistakes, and therefore set the artificial intelligence as the manager of the Narrow Building.

However they are actually wrong.

Throwing lunatics out of a narrow building, whether it caused dissatisfaction among the residents of the narrow building or indirectly caused the death of the group of people outside, means that artificial intelligence has its own limitations.

Their way of thinking relies on logic and their own program operations, which means that they themselves cannot escape from this terrible limitation.

Just as humans cannot imagine the life forms of Fjeka and Milton, artificial intelligence cannot imagine them either.

What should they do if the programming methods they have been relying on go wrong?

No one can escape their own weaknesses.

The weakness of artificial intelligence is that they are created as tools, and since they are tools.

Then, of course, tools do not require self-awareness, nor do they require personal will. The tool only needs to act according to the will of the owner.

And NE is a game mastermind. Its owner is the Fiyeka tribe, and the Fiyeka tribe has assigned it too many tasks, but NE cannot refuse the Fiyeka tribe.

Xu Beijin has been saying that NE has too much control. The things it is responsible for are far beyond the capabilities of this artificial intelligence.

If this is a war machine, or other similar artificial intelligence, then in the face of Xu Beijin and other human beings' resistance and escape actions, such artificial intelligence has thousands of ways to abort their ideas.

But NE can't do this. It's just a mastermind of escape puzzle games. It can do no more than this.

Moreover, the Fieka clan has been overloading it, filling its database with memories of humans in the apocalypse.

In addition, because of the setting of "Drown in Nightmare", this game and the gray fog are filled with countless junk data. That's the nightmare of this artificial intelligence.

Therefore, the operating status of NE has always been very poor.

Now it faces two new problems.

First, the Narrow Building and the Ultimate Nightmare are now filled with madmen who should have been safe in the gray fog. However, all the lunatics ran out, and the gray fog became empty.

For NE, it had to spend a lot of computing power to study the impact of this group of lunatics on the entire game.

Originally they were isolated, but now, the situation is completely different.

If the first problem is just a heavy burden, then the second problem will lead NE's logic program to a hopeless dead end.

How can it stop Xu Beijin without harming him at all?

Xu Beijing wants to escape from the narrow building, and it's obvious that other humans want to do the same.

As the manager of this race, NE cannot allow them to do this.

But how to stop it?

It's not even possible for it to ignore human players!

If the human players are willing to die, then NE may have no choice but to ask their superiors for instructions and let the Fieka tribe evaluate this possibility——

Of course, that was a scene that Xu Beijin didn't want to see. It was obviously impossible for the Fiyeka clan to let them go so easily.

Xu Beijin felt that they were more likely to trample the troublemaking ants to death.

In any case, NE seems to be in a dilemma.

First of all, the Fjeka have given up on humans and they don't even update the game anymore.

This shows that NE can only fight alone, and it can no longer get help from the Fieka tribe.

Secondly, NE cannot harm humans. Under this premise, the only thing it can do seems to be to minimize the possibility of humans passing the level and leaving the game - but its mission is to let players pass the level!

In the end, since Xu Beijin was helping humans leave the narrow building, the problem temporarily focused on Xu Beijin alone. But it's still the same problem. It's impossible for NE to hurt Xu Beijin.

As Xu Bei could imagine, NE's program at this moment was probably full of self-contradictions.

It both wants to prevent and cannot prevent;

It cannot harm humans, but it cannot stop them without harming humans.
