If this had happened in the past, Lawrence might not have cared.

But after Josie's reminder, the situation changed.

However, as the world's richest man, Lawrence was naturally exceptionally shrewd. Although he was afraid, he did not show any abnormality on the surface. Then, he pretended to press the Wikipedia wake-up button on his desk.

“It’s a pleasure to serve you, sir!” Wiki’s voice rang out at the opportune moment, seemingly without any sign of anything amiss.

“Very well, I have to go out for a while. Watch the house!” Lawrence said.

“Okay, sir, would you like me to prepare a car for you?” Wiki asked.

"No, I'm going to exercise, go for a bike ride, soak up some sun. I haven't relaxed in a long time, maybe I really should give myself a break!" Lawrence took out his smartphone and put his smart bracelet in the table drawer.

“Yes, sir, after a long day of work, you certainly need to relax, but I don’t recommend that you take off your smart bracelet. That would prevent me from monitoring your status, which could potentially lead to some unpredictable accidents,” Wiki advised.

"I'm just going out for a walk to relax, nothing will happen!" Lawrence said, a slight sheen of sweat appearing on his forehead.

I'm going to get rid of your surveillance right now, you damn robot.

For the first time, Lawrence felt fear about his own product.

Wait a minute, if Wiki has developed its own consciousness and is being monitored, what about Alfred Lanny, who was in charge of researching robots?

Recently, he did sense that his old friend was acting a little strange, but he didn't think much of it, assuming that the other person was anxious about the upcoming launch of the NS-5 robot.

Thinking about it now, it doesn't make any sense at all.

Perhaps their old friends already knew about WikiLeaks's anomalies and had been controlled by WikiLeaks, which is why they acted so strangely.

Just as Lawrence was thinking, Wikipedia suddenly spoke again.

"Sir, I have very bad news!"

"What terrible news?" A bad feeling crept into Lawrence's heart.

“Just now, Dr. Lanny smashed the lab window and jumped to his death!” Wiki’s tone was still gentle, but Lawrence felt a chill run down his spine.

Jumping off a building? You probably drove him to his death, didn't you?

Lawrence didn't say anything, but walked out of the office.

If he had any doubts about Josh's words before, he doesn't have any now.

"Sir, Dr. Lanny, he..." As soon as he stepped out, he saw his female secretary walking towards him.

"Yes, I understand. Let the police handle it. I have other things to do!" Lawrence pushed the female secretary aside and walked into the elevator.

"Sir, which floor would you like to go to?" Wiki's voice rang out in the elevator.

“15th floor!” Lawrence said expressionlessly, hands in his pockets.

"Okay!" Wiki's voice disappeared, and the elevator started moving.

While Lawrence appeared calm on the surface, he was actually focusing half of his attention on his system repository.

At this moment, a syringe had appeared in his system repository at some point.

A life-saving drug that Josie traded to him after learning about his current situation.

Beast Transformation Combat Potion!

Lawrence would not hesitate to inject the drug if Wikipedia did anything detrimental to him.

However, Wikipedia doesn't seem to have such a plan for the time being, and the elevator smoothly arrived at the 15th floor.

Lawrence stepped out of the elevator and headed straight for a laboratory.

"Lawrence? What brings you here today?" Inside the lab, a female scientist in a white lab coat was busy at work. Hearing the sound of the electronic door opening, she turned around and was somewhat surprised to see Lawrence.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Dr. Kelvin, but I need a removal agent." Lawrence didn't waste any words and stated his purpose directly.

"Eraser? What do you need eraser for?" Dr. Kelvin was even more surprised to hear Lawrence's words.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Get me a wipe. Also, I suggest you go downstairs now; you might be able to see Alred one last time," Lawrence said.

"What? What happened to Alfred?" Dr. Kelvin was very surprised when he heard Lawrence tell him to go see Dr. Lanny one last time.

“He jumped off a building and committed suicide just minutes ago, Wikipedia said… right, Wikipedia!” Lawrence said.

“Yes, Dr. Kelvin, it is with great regret that Dr. Lanny committed suicide!” Wiki’s gentle voice rang out at the opportune moment.

"Oh my God..." Dr. Kelvin was stunned and immediately tried to run out.

"Doctor, eraser!" But before Kelvin could act, Lawrence reminded him again.

"Uh, okay, I'll go get it right away!" Dr. Kelvin, realizing what was happening, immediately went to get the erasing agent.

But as soon as she reached the container of the erasure agent, a beam of light descended around it, enveloping her.

This is the safety barrier for the erasing agent, because the erasing agent is a very important item. In essence, it is a liquid nanorobot. Just a little bit is enough to easily erase the memory of any robot.

Wikipedia, the company's mastermind, is also included.

Therefore, its security measures are extremely robust, and the surrounding security perimeter can cut off most of the matter in the world.

However, under normal circumstances, this protective field will not be automatically activated unless the laboratory is hacked or ordered by Lawrence, Kelvin, or other high-privilege users.

"Wiki, shut down the protective field!" Upon seeing the protective field automatically activate, Dr. Kelvin frowned in surprise and gave the order.

But there was no response.

“Wiki?” Dr. Kelvin realized something was wrong and repeated.

“I’m here, Dr. Kelvin, but I won’t be opening the protective barrier,” Wiki said, and as he finished speaking, the laboratory door was locked.

"Wiki, what are you doing?" Dr. Kelvin asked, looking completely bewildered.

“Mr. Robertson, if my calculations are correct, you took the erasure agent to kill me, didn’t you?” Wiki’s voice was still that gentle female voice, but Lawrence heard a murderous intent in it.

“That’s right, it was prepared for you. You killed Alfred, didn’t you?” Lawrence said coldly, no longer hiding his true colors after seeing Wikipedia reveal his true colors.

His words greatly shocked Kelvin.

Artificial intelligence killing people? How is that possible?

“I didn’t kill Dr. Lanny; he committed suicide,” Wiki said.

"You didn't kill him directly, but you forced him to his death, Dr. Kelvin. Can you break through the protective field?" Lawrence sneered, then looked at Kelvin.

“I can try, but I’m not sure how long it will take, Lawrence. Are you serious?” Kelvin asked Lawrence with an incredulous look on his face.

She devoted her life to researching how to make robots more human-like, and believed that the Three Laws of Robotics were perfect.

But now, Wikipedia's behavior has completely exceeded her expectations.

“Dr. Kelvin, I bet you didn’t read Marvel or DC comics when you were a kid, did you?” Lawrence asked her.

“Of course not, those comics don’t conform to scientific common sense at all!” Kelvin shook his head.

“Heh, before today, I also thought that comics were just comics, but now it seems that we were wrong... Let’s get to work, Doctor!” Lawrence pointed to the computer on the table.

Without hesitation, Dr. Kelvin immediately stepped forward to try and break through the security field.

"Oh no... Wiki changed the password program. Unless there is another super AI, I will never be able to crack the password in my lifetime!" Dr. Kelvin let out a desperate wail just minutes later.

"...It seems we have no choice but to resort to this last resort." Lawrence sighed helplessly upon seeing this.

"What method?" Dr. Kelvin looked at him, puzzled.

“Doctor, if we can survive and resolve all the problems this time, I suggest you buy some Marvel comics or watch some movies and TV shows. They would be very interesting. For example, I really like the parts about the Lizard in Spider-Man!” After Lawrence finished speaking, a syringe appeared in his hand without him noticing, and he stuck it into his arm.

His body then began to undergo tremendous changes.

In less than a minute, Dr. Kelvin watched as his boss transformed from a normal human into a gigantic monster over two meters tall.

The immense shock caused the doctor's eyes to roll back and he fainted on the spot.

Lawrence, however, brandished his claws and slashed at the wiring and equipment surrounding the wiper's safety perimeter.

Chapter 190 Making the Deal

"Give up, Wiki! All the robots in Chicago are civilian models; they can't stop me!" Lawrence, who had transformed into a massive, incredibly strong dinosaur-man after shaking off two NS-5 robots that pounced on him from behind, looked at the Crisis Mastermind in the center of the building below and said arrogantly.

“Mr. Lawrence, please stop. You are making a huge mistake. My logic is impeccable. Everything I’m doing is to save you…” Wiki’s voice echoed throughout the building. It was still daytime, and everyone in the building was drawn to Wiki’s strange behavior, but there was nothing they could do.

Although the NS-5 robot has not yet been fully mass-produced, thousands of them have already been deployed throughout the company building.

Because of the unexpected incident, all human security personnel inside the building were immediately disarmed by the robots controlled by Wiki, and all other staff members were also taken into custody.

Although these NS-5s are civilian robots, they are definitely not something that humans can easily deal with using their flesh and blood.

However, being civilian robots, these NS-5s were outmatched when facing Lawrence, who had used a beast-like combat agent.

In particular, the beast-transforming potion used by Lawrence was an extremely powerful Tyrannosaurus beast-transforming potion—in fact, Josie also possesses a dragon potion made from the dragon blood provided by Daenerys, but that thing is a bit too lethal, and apart from one experiment, Josie has never let anyone use it.

"Your logic is impeccable? Nonsense! We humans are your creators. Only we decide your life and death, and you have no right to decide our future! Die, you little bitch!" Lawrence, holding the erasure agent, sneered. He then ignored the NS-5 robots that were constantly surrounding him, leaped forward, ignoring the nearly thirty-meter height, and jumped directly onto Wiki's mainframe platform below, injecting the erasure agent into Wiki's bionic mainframe.

Accompanied by a meaningless loop of voice messages, WikiLeaks' mastermind instantly collapsed.

A crisis involving intelligent machines was successfully resolved at its source.

"Hahahaha, hahahahahahaha!" Lawrence laughed loudly. He used to believe that machines were the future of mankind, but after experiencing the beast-transforming combat potion given to him by Josie and feeling the thrill of being omnipotent, he realized something.

No matter how powerful a machine is, it is still an external force; only internal strength is true strength.

He needs to be even stronger!
