Chapter 954 Yui's Secret (Part 2)

"Woo..."

Hearing this painful groan, Fang Zheng, who was discussing with everyone what to do next, was startled. He turned his head and found Yui kneeling in front of the black stone pillar, looking as if he had been hurt.

"Yuki!"

"Yuki?!"

Seeing this scene, Fangzheng ran over in a hurry, and Yinglili and Asuna immediately followed, came to Yui's side, and surrounded her.

"Are you OK."

"I'm fine... Dad..."

Hearing Fangzheng's question, Yui raised his head and showed a bitter smile.

"I just... finally remembered..."

"What do you remember? Have you recovered your memory?"

Hearing Yui's answer, the three of them, including Fang Zheng, were taken aback. Yui's memory has always been a concern for everyone in the Dark Moon Sword Guild. But even if they were worried, they had no choice but to do their best to take good care of Yui. Fortunately, this child is also very obedient and sensible, and soon won the favor of everyone in the guild.

But now, Yui actually said that she has recovered her memory?

"Yes………"

Yui lowered her eyes, not knowing why, but her expression was a little sad at the moment.

"I'm sorry, Dad, sister Asuna... sister Eirari..."

"Why are you apologizing?"

Hearing Yui's apology, Asuna shook her head in surprise.

"It's a good thing that you can restore your memory."

"Do not………"

However, hearing Asuna say that, Yui seemed to be getting more and more sad, she closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Actually, I am not the same as you. I am not a human being, but... AI."

"Hey?"

Hearing Yui's answer, everyone couldn't help being stunned. Even Fangzheng frowned, just stared at Yui quietly, and listened to her continue.

"In this world, it is regulated by a huge system 'Cardinal'. It can control the balance of this world based on its own judgment. Cardinal was originally designed based on the concept that it does not require human maintenance. Through the mutual correction between the two main programs, as well as countless subprograms to adjust the world—including the AI ​​of monsters and NPCs, the balance of props and currency, all are resolved by Cardinal.”

Speaking of this, Yui paused for a moment, then continued.

"...The developers of Cardinal want to hand over the task of taking care of the players to the system... Generally speaking, this should be interacted by humans themselves. But the developers intend to try a new They use fully stealth devices to read players' emotions, monitor players' mental states, visit players with problems, listen to their voices, and solve their problems——"Mental state management, support programs, MHCP test Model No. 1, code name Yui, this is me..."

Hearing Yui's self-report, Asuna and Eiriri looked at each other, completely speechless for a while. And Yui showed a painful smile.

"In order not to make players feel incongruous, I was also given an emotional mechanism, so... I'm sorry, sister Asuna, sister Eiriri, the emotions I showed are all fake..."

Tears dripped down Yui's eyes, while Fang Zheng stared at Yui silently, then he reached out and touched Yui's head.

"Well, it doesn't matter. It's not up to you to decide what's false and what's real."

Having said this, Fangzheng paused.

"I once saw an AI, well, she is not as advanced as you, and her emotional module is also very imperfect, but she never considers whether her emotions are composed of circuits, programs or other things. Now she lives every day Leading her own life, serving every customer with due diligence, and she can see that she is very happy... I think this is enough. She will laugh when she is happy, and cry when she is sad, as long as this is all right, the rest, It doesn’t need to be that much.”

"dad………"

Yui stared blankly at Fangzheng, then she rushed over and hugged Fangzheng.

Afterwards, sobs came from Fangzheng's chest, and Fangzheng just stroked her hair and remained silent.

After a while, Yui looked up a little embarrassedly, and smiled at Fangzheng.

"I'm sorry, Dad..."

"No, it's nothing, but I'm curious... Since you are an AI, how did you lose your memory?"

"..."

Facing Fangzheng's question, Yui hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes and spoke.

"On the day when the game officially started, Cardinal issued an order to me, prohibiting me from interfering with any player's behavior. This order was very unexpected to me at the time, because it was obviously contrary to my duties, but as the main Program, Cardinal's authority is much higher than mine, so I can only follow orders."

And speaking of this, Yui's expression also began to become sad.

"The situation at that time was extremely bad. The sadness, anger, and pain of the players...everything was transmitted to the area I was in. Originally, according to the program, I should rush to the players as soon as possible to relieve them. The pain. But I can't take the initiative to contact the players, which also makes me gradually accumulate bugs and loop errors...but..."

Yui raised his head and looked at Fangzheng.

"However, at that time, Dad stepped forward. Unbelievably, after that, the spirits of most players tended to develop in a good way. Although there are still some people who have symptoms such as fear or restlessness, But compared to before, the situation has improved a lot. Not only that, I can also feel a kind of calmness and composure from my father, which makes me feel very at ease... Moreover, everyone in Dark Moon Sword is very happy. Happy, their happy mood attracted me even more, so... On the day of the Halloween event, I would like to come out to see... I also want to join it... I also hope to be like everyone... ..."

Having said this, Yui reached out and grabbed Fang Zheng's collar.

"I... like Papa, I also like Asuna-san, Eri-san, and Black Cat-sister... Everyone is very interesting person, I am very happy to be able to live with you for so long... I also I want to live with my father and everyone. But...it's too late."

"What's the meaning?"

Hearing this, Fangzheng was taken aback for a moment, while Yui said softly.

"The black stone pillar is not an ordinary decoration, but an emergency management device set up by the GM to be able to connect to the system. In fact, the death monster was also set up to prevent players from entering here. In fact, this Part of the maze was not fully constructed, so this error occurred. Originally, this should be an independent space, and it should be set as a place where only GMs can teleport in. And I just used the object elimination device , Eliminate that monster, so that Cardinal will also notice me, I am afraid that it is currently searching for my program, once it decides that I have violated the order, then I will be eliminated..."

"how so!"

Yinglili's face was pale, and Asuna's body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Difficult, is there no other way? Let's leave here immediately..."

"Mr. Fangzheng, is there really no other way?"

At this moment, Yinglili also looked at Fangzheng full of despair, and asked, in fact, they also knew very well in their hearts that they were just players, and the other party was the master of the system, so it was impossible for them to do anything.

"Of course there is."

But the next moment, Fang Zheng's answer surprised everyone. Then, they saw Fangzheng standing up and walking to the side of the black stone pillar. He rubbed his hands, then looked at Xinka and Yulier who were standing near the door. The two of them were sensible before and didn't come to join in the fun, so they didn't know what happened. They just thought that something happened to the child they brought.

"Ah, you two can leave now. This stone pillar is the key to the mission. We have found the route to complete the mission just now. Leave it to us."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Fangzheng."

"You're welcome, don't forget our agreement."

Hearing Fangzheng's words, Yulier nodded with a wry smile, then she reached out and took out the teleportation crystal, the next moment the light flashed, and then she saw Yulier and Xinka disappear into the light.

"Okay, now that the outsiders are all gone, it's time for me to do it."

While speaking, Fang Zheng put his hands on the black stone pillar, and soon, a keyboard formed by condensed light beams appeared in front of Fang Zheng.

Looking at the constantly beating information and data on it, Fangzheng grinned.

"Let's talk about it, Cardinal..."
