Chapter 926 I Don't Want to Go

The first want to go.

Faced with the questioning of the main body, this time Sagittarius did not refuse. A port popped open on the back of his neck. He inserted a receipt line into the port and threw the other end to Xiangshan.

The main body inserted the other end of the data cable into the port on the inside of his wrist.

The magnificent internal force has taken over everything.

[Self-check of the whole process, 1%...3%...7%...18%...]

[The self-check of the verification process is correct. Begin the authority verification]

Sagittarius closed the artificial eye and fell to the bottom of the sea.

But he saw one thing through the artificial eye of the main body.

The squids surrounded him, and the light and shadow on their bodies flowed.

This is their song. This is their farewell.

Sagittarius told them that as long as they took the initiative to throw out the data cable, it meant that everything went well. He will also complete his mission and merge into his original life.

The next time they meet, he will still be himself. He will meet these friends of life and death in another face.

The squids may have misunderstood something. Sagittarius thought. This is not death.

[Do I need to say goodbye? ]

This sentence appeared directly in Sagittarius's thinking. It was the words from the main body. The fusion has begun. I have started to download the data for self-update from the main body. And the uploading and transcription of my memory file will be completed soon.

The main body said: [It doesn't matter if there is a little time. ]

[I am you. ] Sagittarius said: [There is no need to say goodbye. I am still here, just existing in a bigger me. ]

The main body said: [We are one person. ]

[Yes. ]

[If you refuse this process, we can interrupt it. ] Xiangshan said: [Let's exchange the necessary information, and from now on we will be two people, or brothers. I know how I feel at this moment. There are already enough Xiangshans in human history, and you are no more. ]

[There is absolutely no need. Just like you said, there are already too many Xiangshans in human history. ] Sagittarius thought for a while and said: [Although I am you, I am also an AI. Humans were born without a purpose, but AIs are born with their own missions. ]

[Your AI has the ability to learn. You can find a new meaning for your own existence. ]

[For me, my most important mission will not be completed if it does not merge into the life of another, larger me. "Xiangshan" may feel sorry for this AI, but AI will not feel sorry for AI. After weighing the pros and cons, I think this is still the best choice. ]

[Is that so? ]

[Of course, it's not that there are no regrets. The world is still big. Even as an AI, I can still do a lot of things. However, in comparison, the mission I have been given and the meaning of my existence that I have obtained must not be abandoned. We are originally one person. Maybe when doing that thing, it is not the electrons in the chip that carry this consciousness, but the sparks between the nerves. This prosthesis has long been abandoned. But it is still me. ]

[Well, okay. You have more say in this matter. Just make the decision. ]

[Write this down. It might be useful to study the sociological and anthropological significance of AI in the future. 】

【I will never forget it. 】

Finally, the progress bar has been filled. The update has begun.

The two Xiangshan have begun to synchronize.

But after the start, the last idea that has been written into the cache has begun to execute.

【But in the end, there is a line that I really want to say again. 】

【Ah... what's the joke? 】

The Sagittarius prosthesis executed the last action that was pre-read.

"I don't want to go."

He said so.

Then, it was as if the TV suddenly pressed the off button.

Then, Xiangshan's heart burst out with two completely different emotions.

One was shame.

It was like seeing a terminal illness diagnosis, telling friends about all the bad things he had done, then confessing to the person he secretly loved, and then scolding the boss on behalf of his colleagues, creating many sensational scenes, and finally the hospital sent a notice saying that the diagnosis was taken by mistake.

Damn, you said it so seriously, but the physical feeling was just like "suddenly switching from that body to this prosthesis", "just changing the position"!

How can you not be ashamed to say so many sensational words just for changing the position?

But the other half is sad. This feeling is like really losing something.

The memory is seamlessly bridged, but the final thoughts of the brain and the chip are poles apart, as if the sad tragedy and the most ridiculous comedy are mixed together.

Xiangshan couldn't help but hold his head.

After a long while, he talked to himself.

"The Yawgmoth component of AI in this series is still too heavy, it's poisonous. I don't like the British science fiction dramas that are like old lady foot bindings..."

- And I prefer the fifth, sixth and seventh seasons of the early century version. Even if you tell me the classic lines of the fourth season, I... Bah! This is definitely pollution!

The Sagittarius machine then looked at the squids. He pulled out a display screen from behind him and said to the squids, "Okay, friends, it's still me. Just like this, the new me. Bring me the data."

Sagittarius actually made two preparations. The really important information. He separated it from his memory bank in advance and gave it to the squid for safekeeping.

In this way, even if the main body assimilated him without saying anything, he would not be able to obtain the most meaningful information. And the squids also had a little room for negotiation.

Although this little room must also rely on Xiangshan's own integrity. Although the main body that would rob is undoubtedly despicable.

However, as long as Xiangshan, who is willing to stand on the side of the squid, merges into the main body, perhaps the main body... will change a little.

And this is also the mission that Sagittarius Xiangshan said.

As an AI, Sagittarius Xiangshan was given two "purposes" when he was written. "Playing Xiangshan" and "merging with the main body with the Sagittarius body." And the third "purpose" he obtained through the deep learning function is "for these squids, fight for the rights that every intelligent life should have."

And these three goals require him to merge into his own body.

Yes, Sagittarius believes that only when Xiangshan, who once stood with the squid, merges into the main body, can the main body Xiangshan truly understand the position of those squids and ensure that there is no partiality towards mammals.

Even if he said "I don't want to leave", AI is AI. He embraces his innate mission.

Ah Hun looked at Sagittarius warily for a few times, vaguely feeling familiar. He waved his tentacles and left.

Unlike whales, squids lack the ability to communicate remotely in the sea. The sociality of these squids is even given by chips. Some things they can only do in person.

Soon, Xiangshan got a storage device.

After reading the memory, Xiangshan gradually understood the whole story.

This joke of Sagittarius is consistent with the joke that Yawgmoth wrote casually to sneer at the Ninth War God.

Halfway through writing, I couldn't help but watch the End of Time again. Although I personally think that the overall level of the eleventh episode is higher, the last episode of the fourth season is still good.
