Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

"soul?"

When he heard the voices of Su Zhou and the two saints, Tang Yuan stood upright subconsciously and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"It has a soul?! When?!"

At the same time, in line with the atmosphere on the field, the black car's on-board AI unit also activated the speaker and issued an emotional exclamation:

【Do I have a soul? ! when? ! 】

Singing and harmonizing together, it’s like an ensemble.

The sounds of Tang Yuan and the car-mounted AI caused the passers-by and civil servants around to look at him suspiciously, making Tang Yuan, who was a bit socially fearful, feel his face turn red.

The building where the Security Bureau conference hall is located is quite inconspicuous, and there are not many real pedestrians. They are basically civil servants working in relevant departments. But after all, it is also in the urban area of ​​Tiandu, and the flow of people is very large, so it is not suitable for discussion here. What topic.

Just when Su Zhou, Tang Yuan and Dao Sheng were heading to the underground parking lot to start further discussions, Su Zhou looked at the black limousine that was driving steadily on its own and was quite curious. Di turned his head and asked Tang Yuan: "Seriously, Tang Yuan."

"What exactly did you do to the AI ​​of this car so that it can be upgraded intelligently and have a soul?"

Su Zhou's words were full of hints, but Tang Yuan's performance was extremely clueless.

"I didn't do anything. It was just an ordinary commute to and from get off work... The most I did was take the car and turn it into a spirit. Although I guessed that it might have some impact, I never thought it would have such a big impact. !”

While muttering to himself in a low voice, Tang Yuan looked nervously at the Taoist saint who was frowning in thought.

The majesty of the Holy See is still very heavy for an ordinary official civil servant like him.

As his immediate superior, Su Zhou's question puzzled him even more: "Actually, before you mentioned this, Minister, I really didn't know it had a soul!"

Speaking of this, Tang Yuan couldn't help but use his spiritual power, his eyes glowed with spiritual light, and he looked at the black car beside him.

Tang Yuan has extraordinary strength and can spy on all kinds of souls in the world.

And with his spiritual power and psychic bloodline, if he carefully uses his spiritual power to sweep away at a glance, the three souls and seven souls of ordinary people will be seen thoroughly, and there will be no room for concealment.

Theoretically speaking, if the car had a soul, he would know it right away, and it would not be Su Zhou's turn to discover it, as he had barely been in the car a few times.

But after all, the black car is not an ordinary person without spiritual power - Tang Yuan glanced at it carefully, but he could only see bursts of extremely bright spiritual power, which looked like the sun at a close distance, making his eyes sore.

That was the light released when the car's spiritual engine was running.

Although the engine has not started at full power yet, its power is still like the sunlight of day, covering up all the brilliance of the car's own spiritual power.

"Your strength is still a little bit behind, and the soul of our car is indeed weak and abnormal. It's normal that you can't see it."

Realizing this, Su Zhou laughed, stretched out his hand, and a circular wave enveloped the car.

Thinking about it, he suppressed the halo that the spiritual engine radiated in all directions and bound it inside the engine - and then, just like the sun setting behind the horizon, the sky was filled with stars.

As the engine halo dissipated, Tang Yuan suddenly saw a rather strange spiritual structure emerging from the car's system.

It was a weak spirit body that was very different from the human soul and took on the shape of a 'worker'.

The main body of its lower half is located in the spiritual power engine, while the main body of the upper part is located in the AI ​​host. The two parts are connected with each other by a spiritual power line, exchanging information and spiritual power with each other. It constitutes the most basic soul structure.

And this is the soul of in-vehicle AI.

"It's difficult, no wonder I didn't find it."

After seeing this, Tang Yuan's mouth widened slightly, and he couldn't help but murmured: "I have seen this before, and thought it was an ordinary spiritual vein... I didn't expect that this is the soul of AI?"

"After all, it is an inhuman thing. It condenses and turns into a soul. It is normal that its soul structure is completely different from that of humans."

He solemnly replied, and Taoist Saint also watched this scene.

Compared to Su Zhou, who looked relaxed, and Tang Yuan, who was just surprised, his face was extremely serious and he said to the air: "Chongwen, what do you think?"

[Sure enough, did it still happen? 】

In this regard, hidden in cyberspace, the ubiquitous voice of Yan Sheng sounded from Tao Sheng's agent terminal.

He let out a long sigh, and all the cameras in the parking lot and in the passages along the way began to twist, locking on this ordinary car at different angles, like 'gazing': [Creation Holding Soul... Trouble When it came, I thought there would still be a few years of buffering period, but I didn’t expect it to show up now. 】

"Yes, although it should be just a special phenomenon that has been in the high spirit environment for a long time, but now that the first case has appeared, it is foreseeable that a large number of cases will increase rapidly in the future."

Talking to Yan Sheng, Dao Sheng had his hands behind his back. Not only was his gaze solemn at the moment, but his tone was also full of worry: "Relevant countermeasures should also be taken as soon as possible, otherwise, it may be too late."

Every word and deed of the two saints revealed a sense of solemnity and solemnity.

It seems that the fact that in-vehicle AI has a soul is a big deal, and it will have very serious consequences.

This actually confused Su Zhou and Tang Yuan.

Especially Su Zhou. He touched his head, but he was quite confused in his heart: "Wait, is something happening that I don't know about?"

The young man glanced at the black car that had parked obediently in the parking space without saying a word. Then he glanced at the Taoist saint with a solemn expression, and then said without knowing why: "I just came back from abroad, so maybe The news is a bit out of date, I don’t know what happened..."

"But is it possible that this is really an important thing?"

"Indeed. This is a crisis." In response, Dao Sheng turned his head solemnly, looked at Su Zhou, and said seriously: "This is an unprecedented crisis for human civilization, and may even cause the collapse of civilization. crisis."

Su Zhou: "?"

Tang Yuan: "?"

Unnamed vehicle AI: [? 】

Even the black car flashed its headlights because of these words, showing the unease in his heart.

"No, what's the danger?"

Su Zhou frowned slightly. He stretched out his left hand and patted the front cover of his car. Then he swiped his right hand casually and reached into his personal space, as if he was looking for something: "The car has a soul. In this world where spiritual energy is revived, Isn’t it normal?”

"look."

Saying this, he had already grasped the handle of the Blade of Destruction.

Amidst the sound of metal chiming, the presence of no enemy was sensed, and some unknown magic sword was pulled out of the personal space by the young man.

The sharp silver blade, the thick red-black blade, and the dark red lava lines that spread across the blade like blood vessels... The magical power of the sword caused the surrounding spiritual energy to stir.

The moment the Blade of Destruction appeared, the temperature of the entire underground parking lot rose by three degrees. This was the result of Su Zhou slightly suppressing the remaining power of the magic sword.

Everyone, including the black car, took a slight step back without changing their expressions to avoid being affected by the power of the Blade of Destruction.

Holding the magic sword in hand, Su Zhou stretched out his hand and gently touched the spine of the Blade of Annihilation. The owner's gentle touch immediately made the magic sword feel extremely comfortable, and it made a powerful 'clang!' sound.

"Look!"

While wielding the knife, Su Zhou showed off to Dao Sheng, Yan Sheng and Tang Yuan: "My annihilation blade also has a soul!"

"Clang!" And the Blade of Destruction was also very proud, vibrating extremely energetically, and the extremely powerful spiritual power fluctuations even ignited the dust in the surrounding air, filling the air with a circle of red fire clouds.

After a long period of precipitation and condensation of will power, the Blade of Destruction is now regarded as a divine weapon at the top of the command. If it were not limited to the purity of its main material, it would have killed many powerful divine beasts, and even many It is not surprising that the divine sword of the Supreme Bloodline and the King of Heavenly Demons has advanced to the Overlord level.

And because the Blade of Destruction was so noisy, it started to connect the world and the earth just seconds after it appeared, wanting to expand its own domain, so Su Zhou quickly sent the Blade of Destruction back to his personal space.

But what he meant was already obvious.

——Items have souls. Is it really weird in this era of spiritual revival?

"In the final analysis, the spiritual energy has been revived. It is very common for items to transform into spirits. My knife can have a soul. It was originally a piece of polished iron. And AI at least has a set of sophisticated algorithms that simulate intelligence. It is normal for souls to be produced under the influence of spiritual energy."

Reaching out again and patting the front cover of the black car, Su Zhou looked around at the two people in front of him and asked with some confusion: "Is it possible that he is worried about the omnic rebellion?"

"No way, no way, no way? What age has it been? It's been four years since the spiritual energy was revived. Is anyone really going to believe this?"

"There is indeed nothing to be afraid of when omnics rebel... In fact, the possibility of most omnics rebelling is just humankind's own imagination. We have specially studied this topic and ultimately denied the possibility."

Facing Su Zhou's rhetorical question, Dao Sheng thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "In this regard, I only know the result. It's better to let Chongwen speak."

After speaking, he raised his hand, took off the agent terminal from his left wrist, and suspended it in mid-air with his spiritual power.

Yan Sheng's calm voice sounded from it.

[Items condense and conceive souls. This has happened since ancient times. It is indeed not a strange thing... Su Zhou, your magic sword killed many powerful enemies, so it gave birth to spiritual intelligence. This is especially common. In In ancient times, there were even people who deliberately fed soldiers with blood and refined the spirit of swords in evil ways. 】

[The more righteous method of accumulating spirit is to use a part of the human body as the main material to forge the weapon, and then use the spirit of the original owner to nourish the spirit of the weapon. After more than ten years, the sword can naturally condense the spirit. Live soul. 】

[In addition, it is not uncommon around the world to hear rumors that various furniture and utensils have developed souls because their owners have invested a lot of emotion in them. 】

[Animism, the eight million gods of Yingzhou, refers to this situation, such as the various mourning gods in daily life, which are very common in the current Yingzhou society, and there are even Various fusangshen are deliberately cultivated to show off and compete. If you have paid attention to Su Zhou, you should know that there is a special 'house elf' competition in Yingzhou today to judge whose fusangshen is. Sangshen has been trained better and stronger, and there is such a series in the national comprehensive competitive competition in Yingzhou. 】

"Ah this..."

"Paying for the funeral competition?"

Yan Sheng's words not only stunned Tang Yuan, but also Su Zhou was slightly stunned.

House elves... no, house elves paying for the mourning god competition?

This kind of thing is really beyond his imagination.

Although Zhuzhao Group does support many folk sports events in Yingzhou, it is mainly hosted by Qiming, and who would have thought that the people of Yingzhou could be so imaginative?

He quietly picked up his cell phone and searched for relevant information. After taking a rough look, Su Zhou was immediately amazed by the imagination of the people of Yingzhou.

[The first comprehensive house-elf competition begins! 】

[Let everyone take a look at my electric fan Fusangshen. It’s cute, isn’t it? It will automatically cool down and follow your electric fan all the time! 】

[How to cultivate your own elf, ten tips for cultivating the elf. 】

[How can I get the fusangshen at home to get close to me? 】

These are actually trivial matters. On the Yingzhou Internet, the most popular thing is the competition between Fu Sangshen.

He was really shocked by the videos of a table and a television set against a god of death, and a fish tank with dual systems of water and steel versus an induction cooktop with dual systems of thermal and electric power.

And the sumo wrestling match between the refrigerator fusangshin and the wardrobe fussigami shows each other showing off their foursomes. The painting style is so strange that it makes people wonder if this scene happened on earth.

——You can actually... you can still play like this?

"Amazing! The imagination is beyond ordinary people!"

"But after all, this just proves what I thought, right?"

After a few words of praise, he put his phone away, and Su Zhou nodded. He said a little strangely: "Look, incidents of souls being condensed by various artifacts have been popping up one after another. They have happened since ancient times. It is not a crisis at all."

"On the contrary, it will become a means of entertainment. Everyone raises spirits, just like raising pets."

Su Zhou's thoughts were indeed very normal.

Even Tang Yuan nodded slightly in agreement.

"It doesn't have to be a pet..." The pale young man even murmured in a low voice: "If we have been together for a long time, it wouldn't be strange to treat it as family, right?"

[Yes, this is indeed not surprising. Whether it is a pet or a family member, whether it is ancient times or the age of gods and gods, this is not a problem. 】

Yan Sheng first agreed with Shuo He Tang Yuan's point of view, but then his tone became serious: "But, have you ever thought about it, if any utensil or tool can easily open up spirits and have its own consciousness..." Then will our 'modern industrial civilization' itself, which is based on close cooperation of tools and a set of progressive industrial chains, completely collapse as a result? 】

[Thunder spirits that cut off the current appeared in the power grid system, goblins that interfered with communications appeared in the communication network, the mobile phone suddenly became unusable because it had its own consciousness and wanted to rest, and the rocket engine suddenly stalled, and the satellite stopped operating. , it is not impossible to happen, and once it happens, the loss will be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. 】

Saying this, as an expert in artificial intelligence, a master in the field of electronic souls, and traditional souls, Yan Shengwu Chongwen's tone was full of worry.

[Omnic rebellion? Putting aside the logic and necessity of whether omnics need to rebel against humans, in the final analysis, the essence of the omnic crisis is not that machines rebel and raise weapons against humans, but that machines do not operate according to human will. 】

[If you can understand this, then you will understand that as long as the machine has a soul and becomes an omnimachine... then there is no need for any rebellion at all. 】

At this point, Yan Sheng's voice even turned harsh.

[Their existence itself is a huge crisis for our civilization. 】

I'm a bit stuck today, that's all for the time being, and my condition is a bit not good.

Take a rest and continue updating w word tomorrow... I am indeed a bit tired.
