War Paradise

"Wait a minute, let me slow down..."

Faced with the strange situation, Universe Hao was still at a loss. While guarding the weird housekeeping robot, he slowly asked, "What is going on, who are you?"

According to what he knew, Lin Chi should be living alone. In that case, the existence of the self-proclaimed "housekeeping robot" who opened the door for himself seemed a bit abnormal.

——Is someone remotely controlling? Or……

While Universe was thinking, he did not put down the electric baton in his hand and stared at the housekeeping robot vigilantly. Wait for the other party to answer.

The robot did not answer the own identity question, but shook its postbox-shaped body, and continued to emit electronic sounds through the speaker:

"His consciousness may be trapped in the virtual space."

Consciousness trapped in virtual space?

Hearing this, Howe Universe was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "How is it possible? The brain imaging game compartment has safety measures..."

——The brain imaging equipment on sale now adopts advanced security measures. Tragedies such as "ten thousand people are trapped in the game, and the brain will burn when they die in the game" are no longer possible. NS.

However, in a "certain situation", the consciousness of the device user may indeed be harmed. But that is...

"He entered the data channel?" Universe frowned.

Hackers tried to force through the data channel, and as a result, news of "disappeared" appeared every year. Although Lin Chi doesn't seem like someone interested in hacking, Universe Ho knows very well-he, who has just reconnected with that guy, doesn't actually know Lin Chi's preferences.

Isn't that kid really entering the data channel?

"Yes."

When Universe Hao was thinking about it, the housekeeping robot had already given a positive answer: "And... he was not able to come back."

"No?" Universe looked at the game warehouse in the corner in surprise, then looked back at the housekeeping robot: "Can you show me the evidence that convinces me?"

——In the current situation, it can only be seen that Lin Chi has been playing games for ten consecutive hours, and he can't see what that guy is doing in the game warehouse at all. For professional players who make a living by playing games, playing for ten hours of games can be said to be commonplace, and it's not uncommon at all.

"Please trust me." said the housekeeping robot.

"If you do this again, I'm going to call the police, okay?" Howe Universe took out his mobile phone, and was about to press the three numbers that people all over the country knew.

He was going to threaten the other party, but he heard the housekeeping robot make a serious voice: "If you call the police, you will also be arrested. This is an act of breaking into a private house."

"Damn, what are you kidding me... I'm a regular office worker!" Universe couldn't help scolding.

"You broke into someone's home with a weapon in your hand. It has been photographed and uploaded to the database." The housekeeping robot continued.

"..."

Realizing that the other party seemed to be playing for real, Universe Hao also took it seriously, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what are you going to want me to do?"

"Please go to the following 24-hour automated pharmacy to buy glucose injections, as well as stents, needles and infusion tubes for intravenous drip." The housekeeping robot quickly issued instructions: "He may not be able to leave the game room for a long time, and his body needs it. Nutritional supplements."

"This is nonsense, how do you open the door of the game cabin?" Universe Hao glanced at the robot.

In order to prevent the player from entering the virtual world, the body of the real world is "invaded" by other people, the security lock of the imaging game compartment in the brain is indestructible, and it is almost impossible to open it from the outside when the game compartment is running.

Universe Hao remembers clearly that the guy who turned into a lunatic after taking "psychedelics" was also trapped in the game compartment and unable to leave. In the end, the police used a thermal cutter to forcibly cut the outer shell of the game compartment. The guy was rescued.

Even if you buy glucose yourself, it is impossible to infuse it through the hatch of the game compartment.

Just thinking of this, Universe heard the housekeeping robot answer own question:

"I will open the hatch, but I can't transfer his consciousness out." The robot said.

"Can you... open the hatch?" Howard Universe pointed to the streamlined hatch of the game warehouse: "Are you kidding me? Don't think I don't have a housekeeping robot in my house."

——As an industry insider, Universe Ho knows very well that even the latest domestic robots cannot open the brain imaging game warehouse that is in operation.

However, the housekeeping robot in front of him is obviously not simple...

"Please wait a minute."

The housekeeping robot said it moved to the game compartment, plugged the data cable under the body into the external data port under the game compartment, the indicator light of the game compartment suddenly turned red, and then...under Universe Hao’s horrified gaze, the door Slowly opened outwards.

--How can this be?

Universe widened his eyes in surprise, and walked to the side of the game cabin to look inward, and saw that the old classmate own was lying on the black recliner in the cabin with his eyes closed, and his complexion was sickly pale.

"this……"

If only the skin tone is pale, many people who don't see the sun all year round will have similar symptoms. But the guy's mouth and nose are bleeding, which is a bit abnormal.

"Hey, it's serious now..." Universe stretched out his hand with furrowed brows, tested Lin Chi's sniff, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party was still breathing.

"Are you sure you only need glucose to solve it? Or call a doctor." Howe Universe said he was about to call, but was stopped by the housekeeping robot.

"No problem." The robot said earnestly with an electronic tone: "I believe him."

"This is no longer a question of believing or disbelief?" Universe said grumpily: "If this continues, this kid might be going to die!"

"Please go buy medicine." The housekeeping robot urged: "I can't buy medicine under my identity."

——What the hell is this guy thinking?

Universe Howe frowned slightly because of confusion.

Although the other party is using the shell of the housekeeping robot to talk to himself, it is actually possible that someone is operating behind him, but Universe has a strange feeling:

What he is facing may not be a human being, but a real robot!

Whether it is spoken language with a slightly written style, or logic that is not very similar to humans, it seems to indicate the fact that this housekeeping robot is not a human, but actually some kind of AI.

So, that kid Lin Chi...could it be that he hid an artificial intelligence in his home?

Universe Hao looked at Lin Chi who was lying motionless in the warehouse, then took another look at the robot, and finally made a decision:

"Well, I'm going to buy medicine. But... when I come back, I need to know the ins and outs of all this."

"I will tell you, please go." The housekeeping robot raised its retractable metal arm and waved the manipulator to Universe Hao.
