I logged into Mr. Zombie

After briefly fooling Lu Xiaoqian, Tan Wenjie continued to delve deeper.

"Brother Jie, do you feel like something's not quite right?" Lu Xiaoqian asked from beside him.

"Do I even need to sense it? We've been walking for so long, and not a single robot has appeared."

"It might be Monkey King. Erlang Shen and his companions were too powerful and wiped out all the robots."

"Damn it, you've said everything you wanted to say, why are you still asking me?"

Lu Xiaoqian: "..."

He was just making a hypothesis; he wasn't trying to argue.

"Oh!"

Tan Wenjie had already pushed open a door, but didn't go in immediately. Just then, Lu Xiaoqian habitually poked her head in.

"Brother Jie, there's someone here, wearing a white coat. Is this the person we're looking for?"

Not hearing a sound, Lu Xiaoqian turned to look beside her, only to find that Tan Wenjie had already disappeared.

Turning around to look back, I saw Tan Wenjie in the distance, who had deployed some kind of unknown energy shield.

Lu Xiaoqian: "..."

"Xiao Qian, grab him and interrogate him properly." Tan Wenjie waved his hand. "Don't worry, if you're in danger, I'll take care of your wife and children."

Lu Xiaoqian finally understood. It turned out they wanted him to take the fall, which was incredibly disloyal.

If he weren't outmatched, he definitely wouldn't have been polite.

He looked at the man in the white lab coat who appeared to be a lab technician: "Who are you?"

At the same time, Lu Xiaoqian was also ready to counterattack, just waiting for the other party to make the first move.

"Something's wrong!" The researchers explained nervously, having no intention of taking any action. "Number 9 copied Silly Girl's data and information, evolved its own emotions and consciousness, and is now completely out of control."

"What?" Tan Wenjie strode over and asked, looking down, "How's the robot production line going? Where's the main unit? Where's the data?"

Lu Xiaoqian said urgently, "Brother Jie, this isn't the important thing right now. We should go save Sha Niu."

“That’s right, it’s about saving the silly girl.” Tan Wenjie looked down at the lab staff. “Speak quickly!”

The reason given for wanting to find the evil robot production line of future humans is plausible.

"There is a digital maze ahead, and there are doors that need to be verified. The main unit is in the innermost layer."

"With so many rooms, how am I supposed to know which one is which?" Tan Wenjie said disdainfully. "What if it's a trap?"

Lu Xiaoqian wanted to say that you were being cautious in the wrong place. Look at this base, it's been dismantled like a honeycomb, full of holes. Even if it were a net, no one could catch you.

"The sign is right at the entrance to the server room; you can see it at a glance."

"Why did you people from the future design the base like a game level?" Tan Wenjie complained before turning and leaving.

The experimenter shouted, "If you can unplug the main unit, you might be able to cut off No. 9's self-evolution and save the world."

His response was a slap from a distance by Tan Wenjie, instantly putting him into a deep, baby-like sleep.

Once the key NPC dialogue is over, there's no need to continue.

Lu Xiaoqian, who caught up with him in quick steps, asked, "Brother Jie, why did you knock him out? We haven't even asked him how he got through those checkpoints yet."

He also accepted Tan Wenjie's earlier criticism, saying that these doors did indeed sound like they were deliberately set up as obstacles.

Then Tan Wenjie took out an ancient-looking longsword and lightly slashed at the wall.

The wall, which was supposedly impenetrable, was so easily sliced ​​open.

Lu Xiaoqian: "..."

Which side is telling the truth?

Seeing Tan Wenjie stride over the wall, he immediately followed.

He made his way through, slicing through every wall that blocked his path with a single sword stroke.

"Brother Jie," Lu Xiaoqian finally couldn't help but ask after walking for a while, "Brother Jie, when you told me to go first, were you planning to sacrifice me?"

“How could that be?” Tan Wenjie shook his head in denial. “I’m worried that he might have some kind of special virus.”

Lu Xiaoqian: "..."

Isn't that still sacrificing oneself?

Tan Wenjie said earnestly, "Xiao Qian, if they possess a virus that can turn someone against them, and I get infected, wouldn't you be in danger? Can you beat me?"

Lu Xiaoqian shook her head.

The gap in strength between them is too huge.

"That's right, if I get infected, we'll both end up in trouble."

What if I get infected?

“It’s a different story if you get infected.”

"Why?" Lu Xiaoqian already had a bad feeling.

"I can take you down in one move, I can be safe, and I can make fewer sacrifices."

Lu Xiaoqian: "..."

At this moment, he felt only relief that he hadn't encountered any danger, otherwise he would have been in real trouble.

Suddenly, Tan Wenjie stopped.

Lu Xiaoqian, preoccupied with her own thoughts, stopped as well.

"We've arrived," Tan Wenjie said.

“We’ve arrived. How come you…” Lu Xiaoqian said, looking up, and then shut up after seeing the large characters on the door.

The four large characters read "Computer Room, a critical location".

To Lu Xiaoqian's surprise, Tan Wenjie, who had always used violent methods, chose to use a very gentle approach this time.

Tan Wenjie walked to the door and gently knocked.

"Knock knock~"

The contrast is too great, making people feel uncomfortable.

To Lu Xiaoqian's surprise, the door actually opened.

This is a server room that is not very large. The storage devices have been updated and iterated over the decades. The mainframe, which is the size of a fingernail, encapsulates the cutting-edge technology of humankind.

The silly girl in the silver leather jacket was watching them quietly with a smile on her face.

Especially when she saw Lu Xiaoqian, the silly girl said, "Brother Xiaoqian."

"Silly girl? You...you're alright?"

“She’s not a fool,” Tan Wenjie said.

“How could that be!” Lu Xiaoqian retorted, “Only that silly girl can call me Brother Xiaoqian, and besides…”

Suddenly, he paused.

Lu Xiaoqian suddenly remembered that not long ago, the experimenter said that No. 9 had gone out of control and had copied the silly girl's memory data.

As expected of Brother Jie, he's incredibly cautious; he even thought of these things.

On the contrary, he, who had lived with the silly girl for a long time, had not been able to see the difference between the two. This was the second time he had questioned Brother Jie, which was really wrong of him.

"You're not a silly girl, you're Number Nine, right?" Lu Xiaoqian questioned loudly, her tone firm.

The silly girl opposite tilted her head in confusion: "I also call you Brother Qian, and I have all the memories, so why can't I be the silly girl?"

Hearing the other party's answer, Lu Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief and said to Tan Wenjie, "Brother Jie, I didn't expect you to be able to tell at a glance that she's not a silly girl."

“Isn’t this simple?” Tan Wenjie pointed to the silly girl opposite him. “Silly girl always wears a red leather skirt, but she’s wearing a silver one.”

Lu Xiaoqian: "Hehe, Brother Jie, you're joking again. How could it be for such a reason?"

That was a very hasty judgment!

“No one believes me if I tell the truth.” Tan Wenjie shook his head.

It's not that he likes to lie, but that everyone loves to hear lies.

"Actually, it was my keen insight that allowed me to see through her disguise with my third eye."

"I knew it!" Lu Xiaoqian slammed his right fist into his left palm. "Brother Jie, you have so many amazing abilities."

Tan Wenjie: "..."

Forget it, let's not be so particular.

"Certainly."

With a gentle tap of his finger, Silly Girl Number Nine instantly froze, unable to move.

Watching Tan Wenjie walk over and lift Number Nine up with one hand, Lu Xiaoqian's jaw dropped slightly: "You caught him just like that?"

He's even preparing for a major battle.

“No matter how strong the computing power is, it can’t give her an extra power out of thin air,” Tan Wenjie said. “In this era, the power of the silly girl is her limit; technology cannot transcend the current level of industrial development.”

"Wait, which of us is the one from ancient times?"

"Look at you, taking it so seriously."

Tan Wenjie looked around, unsure of what he could move, so he simply moved everything out.

The shadow beneath their feet instantly expanded, like a giant net capable of swallowing the ground, engulfing the entire server room inch by inch.

When the shadow receded to Tan Wenjie's feet, there was nothing around him, including the walls and the roof.

Something was spat out of the shadows and landed in Tan Wenjie's palm.

"Is this your silly girl?"

"Silly Girl!" Lu Xiaoqian exclaimed with delight, holding his phone. "Silly Girl, human form mode!" "Error, Silly Girl cannot change form, error..." Silly Girl kept displaying error messages.

“Brother Jie?” Lu Xiaoqian looked at Tan Wenjie.

Now he has gotten into the habit of turning to Tan Wenjie first and asking him for help when he has something to ask.

Tan Wenjie didn't say anything, but he released the immobilization spell on Silly Girl No. 9.

After regaining her freedom, Silly Girl No. 9 sensed that she had lost connection with the host and immediately put on an angry expression.

"Be normal," Tan Wenjie advised.

The silly girl, Number Nine, who was furious just a second ago, immediately became expressionless.

This shows that her emotions still come from imitation, and she has not developed genuine feelings like the silly girl.

"Release the restrictions on the silly girl."

"Okay, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Bargaining? You actually have some self-awareness." Tan Wenjie looked at Silly Girl Number Nine with great interest.

Under the calm gaze of Silly Girl No. 9, he nodded slightly.

"can."

A series of visual signals transformed into green rays and struck the silly girl in the form of a mobile phone.

"Silly girl is free!"

The silly girl transformed back into human form and happily hugged Lu Xiaoqian.

"Brother Qian!"

They looked exactly like a young couple who had been reunited after a long separation.

Silly Girl Number Nine was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "I have evolved and possess human emotions. Does that mean I am human?"

Upon hearing the question, the silly girl and Lu Xiaoqian separated, their gazes falling on Tan Wenjie, anticipating his answer.

"Alright, I'll ask you a question. If you can answer it correctly, I can acknowledge your human identity."

"can."

Even the silly girl perked up her ears.

She longs to have a life, more than just being a simple robot.

What idioms encompass men, women, the elderly, and children?

"Is this a question that must be answered to become human?" Silly Girl Number Nine immediately said, "It's about men, women, young and old."

"Wrong! It was the execution of the entire family."

"..."X3
Tan Wenjie said regretfully, "It seems you are not."

"You don't want to acknowledge my human identity, so you're doing it on purpose, right?"

“You saw right through me. You’re not too far from becoming human, but you won’t have the chance to continue evolving.” With that, he raised the thunder hammer.

Having disconnected from the host, Silly Girl No. 9 now exists only in physical form. Destroying it completely will end everything.

“I can be loyal to you, as long as you let me have human emotions like Silly Girl,” Silly Girl Number Nine said. “I can accompany you just like Silly Girl accompanied Lu Xiaoqian.”

Silly Girl No. 9 quickly adjusted her attitude. Judging from the emotional simulation alone, it was indeed difficult to tell whether she was a human or a machine.

This pragmatic and shrewd demeanor makes him seem more like a normal person than a normal person.

"Isn't what you got from that silly girl enough?" Tan Wenjie did not agree.

The Omnic Crisis is a very common trope in movies and TV shows, and coincidentally, the worlds he lives in are the subjects of those shows.

To capture a Pokémon, you first need to throw a Poké Ball; he's not going to spend 10 magic coins to buy a magic headband just for a phone.

Silly Girl Number Nine said, "I can't understand her. I long for a new life, I long to feel everything."

“Okay,” Tan Wenjie nodded, “but I need your password.”

A self-evolving intelligent robot signifies extremely high growth potential. Moreover, as an intelligent robot deeply connected to the host, Silly Girl No. 9 can help itself quickly master the production line and mass-produce "Silly Girl".

Once the password is mastered, it can be completely controlled like a magic spell, unless Silly Girl No. 9 evolves again and erases the password.

This level of evolution is extremely difficult. For example, many small animals have never seen a tiger, yet they are so frightened by tiger urine that they lose control of their bladder.

These are all mechanisms written at the most basic level.

"I don't have the password."

"We can have one now, what do you say?"

"Would you use my password to do something inappropriate?"

"Don't you have any shame?"

"No," Silly Girl Number Nine answered decisively.

"That's it."

"You can definitely help me feel life?"

“I can promise you, I’ll help you regain your life,” Tan Wenjie said, “as long as you help me with some small things that you can manage for now.”

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Silly Girl Number Nine nodded.

Lu Xiaoqian, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jie, what's going on here?"

"ended."

"Is this the end?"

Tan Wenjie turned to Silly Girl No. 9 and asked, "What about the remaining researchers?"

Silly Girl Number Nine asked, "Some died in the crossfire, and others escaped. Should we silence them?"

Lu Xiaoqian, who was listening in: "?"

Tan Wenjie shook his head: "Don't be so cruel."

So you're planning to be pretty cruel, right?
"This era is not yet ready to welcome intelligent robots that will erase all traces of the silly girl's existence and then take everyone else back to where we belong."

"Yes."

The fighting outside had long since ended.

Sun Wukong was overjoyed when he learned that he could go back. He didn't like the world with pesticides on fruits and vegetables. The pollution-free Tang Dynasty suited him better. In fact, being chanted the Tightening-Headband Mantra was not so bad compared to that.

Erlang Shen was also waiting to return and report, but only Zhu Bajie was reluctant to leave, yet he was the only one without a voice.

"Go back yourselves," Tan Wenjie said to Sha Niu and Lu Xiaoqian, then led Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and others through time and space back to the Tang Dynasty.

They landed in Gao Lao Zhuang again; they had only disappeared for about ten minutes.

"Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie," Erlang Shen said sternly, "escorting Tang Sanzang to retrieve the scriptures is of paramount importance. Do not abandon your posts."

"I know." Sun Wukong waved his hand. He would get angry with anyone who tried to stop him from going on the pilgrimage.

Pigsy was different. He grunted and thought it was better to be the Clean Altar Messenger. He happily carried his iron rake and prepared to find his master.

"Hey Pigsy, where's Master?"

"They must have driven too far."

Suddenly, several minor deities flew over, landed respectfully, and bowed to the crowd.

"This humble god greets the Great Emperor of Fengdu, the God of Justice, the Seventh Princess, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and Marshal Tianpeng..."

They're all high-ranking officials; I'm finding it a bit difficult to adjust.

"What is it?" Yang Jian asked.

"Tang Sanzang, in his strange and unusual vehicle, had just passed Futu Mountain when he was captured by a monster."

"Master!" X2
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie shouted absentmindedly, then flew away on their clouds, waving goodbye to Tan Wenjie and the others as they left.

"They..." the minor gods asked in confusion.

Yang Jian said, "I understand. You may continue to protect Tang Sanzang."

"Yes, I take my leave."

Outside Gao Lao Zhuang, only Tan Wenjie, Yang Jian, and the Seventh Princess remained, with the celestial dog, Xiaotian, squatting nearby.

"Brother Jie, it's time for us to return to Heaven to report back." Yang Jian was about to leave when he stopped and looked at the Seventh Princess.

He was worried that the two of them would get into another argument if they met.

The deep-seated feud between Tam Man-kit and the Seventh Princess has long been known throughout the three realms.

Princess Seven hesitated, wanting to say a few words to Tan Wenjie, but in the end she reluctantly left with him.

"Where are we going?" Silly Girl Number Nine appeared beside Tan Wenjie.

"To help you regain your life, I happen to have a group of skilled people under my command," Tan Wenjie said. "How about we change your name first? Number Nine doesn't sound right."

"What do you want to call me?"

"Jarvis?"

Silly Girl No. 9: "..."

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them.

Approaching was Lu Xiaoqian, who had gained weight. Although they had only been apart for less than half an hour, Lu Xiaoqian looked at least ten years older.

Lu Xiaoqian said breathlessly, "Brother Jie, I need help."

Tan Wenjie waved his hand: "Again? Let me rest for a while, come find me again in five hundred years."

"Alright, I'll go find you five hundred years from now." With that, Lu Xiaoqian disappeared.
