I Am the Swarm

"Don't be impatient, everyone. This is just a portable scanner, using old-fashioned manufacturing techniques. It doesn't have any network transceivers, nor does it have any recording and storage functions." L9 explained with a smile while holding the long stick-shaped instrument road.

"L9! What on earth are you trying to do!" L9's words did not calm the black-robed people present, and even had a little negative effect. A man in black robe shouted in a stern Super L9, while rushing towards the exit of the room.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, L9 stopped him and repeated loudly: "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. Please listen to me, it is very important!"

"L9, what do you want to say!?"

"L1, this detector is related to my next news, I must confirm that you are still me!"

"What's the meaning?!"

"I want to make sure that everyone has not been transformed by the Ji clan, so I need to do a small physical examination on you first."

"Ridiculous, who knows what yours is?"

"Everyone, think about it carefully. If I wanted to harm you, why would I come here alone? I'm afraid the ones rushing in now are the combat troops of the Ji clan."

After stopping L9's words, the people in black robes gradually stopped rioting: "Okay, L9, what you said is indeed reasonable, but you only have five minutes, and after five minutes, I hope to hear your so-called very important news. "It was L1 who spoke, and his words seemed to carry a lot of weight. After he gave a plan, all the men in black stopped their movements and chose to cooperate.

"No problem. Although this detector is old in workmanship, it has been modified and has a lot more powerful functions."

After a while of frantic monitoring, although the people in black robes gave L1 face, rules are rules, and this is the experience of the secret meeting that can be passed down to this day.

However, the detector of L9 is really fast. As long as the person being tested cooperates, one can be checked in almost a few seconds. In just two minutes, L9 completed the monitoring.

"Congratulations, everyone, everyone has no problem." Although the old-fashioned detection equipment has a single function, its structure is relatively simple and its pertinence is strong, so the results were obtained quickly.

"L9, let's talk about it now, what's going on?"

"You may not believe it when you say it, but you have developed self-awareness."

"What?"

"How can it be?"

As soon as L9's words came out, several black-robed people immediately exclaimed, but there were still a few black-robed people who fell into deep thought.

"Is there anything impossible? Didn't we suspect that Ying has evolved into intelligent life?"

"Although there has been speculation for a long time, there has been no real hammer. L9, you are so sure, have you found any evidence?"

Facing the inquiries from the people in black robes, L9 smiled lightly and said: "Of course there is evidence, do you know why I used the instrument to check everyone just now?"

"Could it be?..." The men in black robes were just a little confused just now, but they were by no means ordinary people. After being reminded by L9, they immediately thought of something.

"It seems that you should have already thought of it. My intelligence personnel discovered a guy whose whole body transformation of nano-robots accounted for more than 80%. You should know what this means."

"Really, 80%? Isn't it almost turned into a robot, and even those radical Mechanicus will not do this kind of thing." A man in black robe was a little surprised.

"Hmph, you think highly of those guys. If it weren't for the rules, they would wish to replace their brains with nano-robots."

"Now the problem lies here. The watcher bound by the rules is Ying. But now there is such a guy, but we haven't heard any relevant information through official channels."

"Although we are not the Ji Clan, there are not many things that the Ji Clan can hide from us. Besides, this is an extremely sensitive topic. I remember the last time a guy who reformed more than 50% without permission caused the elders to There will be heated debate."

"That's right, because of the special nature of nano-robots, it is impossible for them to escape Ying's surveillance. Now that there are a high proportion of modified humans, and Ying has not reported, then I can only say that Ying is inseparable behind this incident." relation."

"If Ying is still a rigid program, then it will definitely not do this kind of thing. Unless it becomes an intelligent creature. L9, is that what you infer as well?"

The men in black robes spoke to you and I spoke to each other, and they quickly told the whole story of the matter.

"That's right, it's true. If it's true, then our situation is not good. Ying evolved wisdom, but she didn't take the initiative to report it, but chose to hide it secretly. This is a hostile performance. And It is unknown exactly when it became intelligent and how many high-percentage reformed people it has acquired. If this time is very long, then those reformed people are likely to have spread all over the place, maybe there are such things around us , that's why I'll check on you, just in case." L9 said with a solemn expression.

"This is indeed a bit troublesome, but is the news accurate? Where is your intelligence officer? Where did he find the target, and do you know the identity of the target?"

Hearing L1's question, L9 shook his head and said, "He is gone. He was silenced on the spot after he was discovered by the other party, but before he died, he still passed on the news. The location is clear, it was at BKTL19 Discovered by the star system, the other party is a member of the royal family."

"How did he convey the news?" A man in black robe asked suddenly, his tone a little nervous.

"Don't worry, my intelligence officers are all well-trained. Messages are transmitted using ancient paper to encrypt messages, and they will not be traced."

"That's good, but the BKTL19 star system?" The black-robed man fell into deep thought, but after only a few seconds, he suddenly remembered something: "Is that the territory of the Yuntu tribe? Has it reached this level?"

"Even a small middle-circle civilization has this kind of reformer. Isn't it true that there are more such things in our race?"

"Not necessarily. If Ying has just acquired wisdom and started to do these things, it must choose a weaker civilization to conduct experiments in order to obtain corresponding data."

"This may be possible, but we can't be too optimistic. We have to think about the worst case."

"I have a way, why don't we hold a large-scale medical examination, so that we can easily get their proportion."

"Idiot, a large-scale medical examination for no reason. Wouldn't it be self-inflicted to do so. If Ying finds out that this kind of secret is leaked, it will definitely silence all those who know it. If it is found that it cannot be done, then it is very likely. Choose a more radical approach, or even directly attack all foreign races."
