Embers Ad Infinitum

The leader of the law robot stared at Gnawa for a few seconds and said to the companions around him:

"No. C-1578, No. C-2020. You stay and take care of this place. We will find other intelligent people in Tarnan to do a supplementary investigation and return to the headquarters tomorrow morning."

After giving the instructions, the leader of the Law Robot left Gnawa's house with the remaining two intelligent robots.

The legal robot numbered C-1578 then looked at Susanna:

"Give us two high-performance batteries."

"Okay." Susanna turned and walked to the kitchen.

The little robot Redes followed the instructions and returned to the second floor.

The large and small intelligent robots were all wearing white skirts, but they did not look at each other as they walked, just like strangers they had just met.

Soon, Susanna came out with a tray with two white porcelain plates with shallow bottoms on it.

In the middle part of the white plate, there is a high-performance battery.

Susanna placed the two plates in front of No. C-1578 and No. C-2020 as if serving food.

No. C-1578 and No. C-2020 did not feel any discomfort about this. They each picked up a high-performance battery and put it into their mouths.

In the shimmering metallic mouth, the insulating baffle retreats by itself, revealing the slot for loading the high-performance battery.

No. C-1578 and No. C-2020 took out the original battery, placed the current one, and nodded to Susanna:

"Thanks."

"No need." Susanna put away the dinner plate carrying the battery to be charged and walked to the kitchen again.

During this process, Gnawa sat blankly on the single sofa, without changing his posture or making any movements.

According to Jiang Baimian's understanding, this is like a machine crash.

She pulled Shang Jianyao and backed away a long distance.

"No matter what you want to do, the prerequisite is to follow your own wishes. Maybe returning to the headquarters and being locked up for two or three years is not a bad choice for him?" Jiang Baimian lowered his voice and asked Shang Jianyao said.

Shang Jianyao nodded:

"I see."

After speaking, he took out a pen and paper, squatted down, and started writing with his thighs as support.

What exactly did you understand... Jiang Baimian was a little worried for no reason.

While waiting, she examined the situation around her to make sure there were no robots coming secretly.

This shows that those legal robots, and even the Gnawa family, have almost no monitoring around the house.

Of course, this does not mean that they do not have corresponding functions, but that they present a state of "paralysis".

Perhaps you trust too much in the multifunctional surveillance cameras everywhere, thinking that with their existence, no one can approach the house silently, and there is no need for you to consume excessive power to do repetitive things? Or maybe he was too confident in his own strength and not afraid of sudden attacks, so he didn't actively monitor his surroundings? The more Jiang Baimian thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.

She found that intelligent robots are still rigid to a certain extent. They strictly follow the predetermined division of labor and corresponding arrangements, and do not easily go beyond the limits.

But they didn't expect that there was a human being like Jiang Baimian in the world who could sense weak electrical signals. He could clearly grasp the location of those multi-functional surveillance cameras without getting close, and he did not miss the parts that were deliberately hidden.

Combined with his usual observations, it was not too difficult for Jiang Baimian to find a tortuous road that would not trigger warning messages.

——This is also related to the fact that smart robots pay attention to privacy and do not pile up multi-functional surveillance cameras in the villa area to the extent that no blind spots are left.

Otherwise, Jiang Baimian could only consider forging a short-circuit and power outage accident, specifically for the monitoring system.

Not long after, Shang Jianyao finished writing and stood up.

"Let me take a look." Jiang Baimian stretched out his hand.

She believed in Shang Jianyao's IQ, but she didn't believe in his twitchy brain.

…………

Inside the villa.

Gennava sat on the single sofa, staring ahead with dim blue light in his eyes.

There was nothing there.

The two legal robots responsible for guarding it didn't say anything and each found a place to sit down.

Their attention was focused on Gnawa and Susanna near the dining table. They didn't pay much attention to the door and windows. They seemed to think it was unnecessary.

After an unknown amount of time, Gnawa finally made some moves. It slowly raised its head, glanced across the two legal robots, and moved to the dining table.

The silver-white intelligent robot Susanna sat there, reading a book, without making any response, as if what happened in the living room had nothing to do with her.

Gennava stared for nearly a minute, turning his neck in a daze and looking around the room.

It seems to want to remember every detail here.

As its eyes moved, it suddenly saw two human faces, one male and one female, reflected in the window that was most easily overlooked.

The similarity is 99%...Zhang Qubing...Xue Shiyue...Gnawa directly identified the owner of those two faces.

The next second, it saw Shang Jianyao smiling, then picked up a piece of white paper and pasted it on the glass

The same sentence was written on the surface of the white paper in gray vernacular and Honghe dialect:

"Do you need help?"

The blue light in Gennava's eyes flashed.

It immediately twisted its neck a full 180 degrees and looked back at Susanna.

After staring in silence for a moment, it turned its head and shook its head slowly.

Then, it continued to move its gaze, just like it did before.

This allows the two legal robots in the villa to not notice any abnormalities.

When Gnawa looked at the most overlooked window for the second time, the white paper on it had been replaced by another one.

The above content has also changed:

"Don't you want to find the meaning of life?"

Gnawa's eyes stopped moving, and the blue light in his eyes seemed to be a little solidified.

It silently repeated one word:

"Life...life..."

Then, Shang Jianyao changed the paper again.

This time, it read:

“Don’t you want to find the answer to the question ‘What is a human being?’”

The blue light in Gnawa's eyes suddenly became a little brighter.

It turned its neck again so that its gaze no longer stayed at the window, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the caretaker.

When it looked at the window for the third time with an attitude of nostalgia for the house, the original paper caught its eyes:

"Do you need help?"

The silver-black intelligent robot Gnawa stayed still for two seconds and nodded slowly.

Almost at the same time, it saw a heartfelt smile on Shang Jianyao's face.

Shang Jianyao quickly changed the paper:

"Give us five minutes."

Unlike before, the words "five minutes" and the corresponding words were crossed out by someone unknown, and were revised to "fifteen minutes" next to them.

Gennava nodded again and withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the window.

…………

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao left the surveillance area and walked towards where the jeep was parked.

"Really, how can five minutes be enough? We have to plan the route, come up with a plan, and make preparations. It takes only fifteen minutes." Jiang Baimian complained, "But, we can't delay this kind of thing for too long. Chi Fear of change.”

Shang Jianyao glanced at her:

"Did you sneak in more Old World episodes while you were sleeping in the living room?"

"..." Jiang Baimian was speechless for two seconds and said forcefully, "That's not the point!"

As she walked towards the direction where the jeep was, she changed the topic:

"This is not a simple matter. It seems not good to turn our backs and deny people just after we got a lot of information from the 'Source Brain'.

"Besides, from Gnawa's point of view, he is definitely not willing to directly destroy other intelligent robots. He regards himself as a human being and treats them as companions.

"On the one hand, I have to control the intensity of the conflict, and on the other hand, I have to rescue Gnawa. It's very difficult."

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked forward to it:

"I haven't fought against an intelligent robot yet."

Jian Shang Jian Yao looked at him strangely, Jiang Baimian exhaled and said:

“Now that you have decided to help, you cannot look forward or backward, hesitate or waver.

"Well, when you can't change reality, then learn to find some exciting points for yourself."

To be honest, she really feels that smart robots are a bit difficult to deal with. They are not afraid of light weapons, their key interfaces are hidden and blocked, and they have corresponding insulation measures. They also have two or more power supply systems. As far as the body is concerned, they are more powerful than mechanical ones. The monks need to improve a lot.

More importantly, they are also immune to Shang Jianyao's awakener ability.

While talking, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian returned to the jeep and saw Long Yuehong who had put on the military exoskeleton device and Bai Chen who was fully armed.
