Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 465 Human-Machine Love 7

——A few days later.

When the inspection team's energy chain swept across the jade bracelet on Meng Qiqi's wrist for the seventh time, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and rolled her eyes: "How many times have I told you? This is just an ordinary bracelet!"

In the holographic interrogation room, cold blue light cut sharp shadows on her face. The inspection team leader sitting opposite her was turning a mechanical watch confiscated from the dark market - one of the antiques she had sold.

"How could an ordinary human disappear instantly during the inspection team's surprise attack?" The captain's mechanical eyes glowed a piercing red. "07's combat log shows that the moment you vanished, the space generated a frequency similar to the energy fluctuations of an emotional AI."

Meng Qiqi felt cold all over and dug her nails into her palms.

She should have thought that 07's extraordinary "protective desire" would reveal a flaw.

She caught a glimpse of 07 in the corner of the interrogation room. His silver-white body was locked in an energy cage. The energy core in his chest was dim, and only his metallic pupils were stubbornly locked on her.

"I disappeared because..." She suddenly grabbed the test pen on the table and stabbed her arm hard.

The moment the blood gushed out, screams rang out one after another in the interrogation room.

The inspection captain stood up suddenly, and the scanner on the robotic arm issued a sharp alarm uncontrollably - the signal of organic life form was jumping wildly.

"Did you see that?" Meng Qiqi approached the energy cage with her bleeding arm raised, blood dripping onto 07's metal feet. "I'm a living human being. I feel pain and bleed! What you call 'energy fluctuations' is nothing but..."

She paused, thinking of the stardust trees growing wildly in space, "It's just a side effect of Jupiter's disturbed magnetic field!"

07's energy core suddenly vibrated violently, and purple data streams moved frantically across the metal face: "Pain response, blood composition testing... confirmed to be human life form. But..."

His voice suddenly dropped, as if he was arguing with his own programming. "Why would my protection protocols list you as the highest priority?"

The inspection team leader frowned and restarted the detector, and the red beam swept back and forth over Meng Qiqi.

Three minutes later, the instrument made a soft "beep" sound, and a green "human" logo popped up on the screen.

"It seems like a misunderstanding." The captain put away the energy chain, but his eyes remained alert. "But Miss Meng, we will continue to investigate the illegal trade of ancient Earth items."

When we walked out of the inspection team headquarters, dusk had already dyed Jupiter a deep purple.

07 followed her silently, the sound of metal joints rubbing against each other was lighter than usual, as if he was afraid of disturbing her.

Meng Qiqi rubbed the bandage on her arm and suddenly turned around: "Why do you suspect I'm AI?"

"Your behavior is inconsistent." 07 spread his metal hand, a dense mass of data appearing on his palm. "You can precisely repair my energy core, are adept at black market transactions, and even display reaction speeds beyond human limits in times of danger. These characteristics are highly consistent with the 'learning evolution' model of emotional AI."

Meng Qiqi was stunned.

She never thought that the "plug-in" she accumulated with her experience in quick travel would become the most fatal doubt in the eyes of AI.

She took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to 07: "Now you can examine it closely and see if there are any code fluctuations on it."

07's metal finger hovered half an inch above the bracelet, and the energy core emitted a faint blue light.

Thirty seconds later, he withdrew his hand: "No electronic signals detected, but..."

He suddenly leaned in closer, and Meng Qiqi could clearly see the data stream flowing in his pupils. "There is something more mysterious about you than code. Let me..."

His voice suddenly hitched, and the facial display screen flashed with garbled characters. "It puts me under a continuous computing load."

Meng Qiqi's heart skipped a beat and she took a half step back.

She thought of the purple energy crystals that resonated inexplicably in the middle of the night when she was cultivating the Stardust Wood, and the words "heartbeat overload" that 07 said when he lost control.

"Don't make blind guesses anymore." She hurriedly put on the bracelet and quickened her pace towards home. "I have to go back and take care of the Stardust Wood. If I delay any longer, the resin will fail to crystallize."

07 was silent for a moment, then his voice regained its mechanical calmness when he spoke again: "Do you need any help? My spectrum analysis program can accurately determine the optimal time to collect resin."

Meng Qiqi didn't look back, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Come on, Mr. AI. But let me be frank, if you dare to doubt that I'm a robot again, next time I won't prick my arm."

The moonlight shines on the thousand-thread vine path, and two figures walk away.

Meng Qiqi didn't know that the moment she turned around, 07 quietly stored a drop of blood sample that fell at his metal feet into the encrypted private database.

The inspection team leader was currently accessing the StarNet archives. Under the magnifying glass, the edges of the "temporary identity" photo of Meng Qiqi registered at the Moss Market vaguely revealed clothing patterns that did not belong to this era.

The stardust wood in the incubator is still growing, and the silver resin has formed a galaxy.

Meng Qiqi, holding the harvesting knife, watched 07 methodically analyze the spectral data. Suddenly, she felt that perhaps being suspected of being an AI wasn't such a bad thing. At least, she had a sufficiently powerful "bodyguard" and an unpredictable... what? A friend? An ally? Or perhaps something beyond the boundaries of code and flesh and blood?

The night wind blew through the gaps between the vines, bringing with it the faint electronic music of the dark market in the distance.

Meng Qiqi cut the first perfect piece of stardust wood resin and looked at 07 in the fluorescent light.

This time, the purple light in his energy core was no longer a chaotic warning, but a gentle resonance.
