Chapter 2559 New Humans (Part 1)
2:13 am.
Ran Zai yawned and looked at the man on the surveillance camera. He was talking about his wife's recent changes. The man had physical illness and was unable to withstand some heavy physical labor.
Recently, because many places on the ground floor are allowed to set up stalls, my wife takes care of her husband and children at night, and sets up a stall to sell noodles during the day. At first, my wife took out food at the mechanical ball experience store in Section 13.
Later we moved to the side of the ring road, because it was more lively there, with people eating from morning to night.
The husband's biggest feeling is that his wife has become very cold. Although the interaction with the children and taking care of herself can still make people feel warm, the wife's behavior is too mechanical.
The man was being questioned by a person from Section 2. He seemed very distressed. His wife had just come back tonight, but suddenly she got up and said she had forgotten something and left the house. Now the wife has disappeared.
On the other side of the picture, the upper-class couple who lost their child looked very uncomfortable. Both husband and wife were crying. They finally felt relieved that their son had such a happy change, but now his son has disappeared inexplicably.
This little boy also ran away at night. It wasn't until someone from Section 2 knocked on their door that they discovered that the child was missing, even though he was still fine around 11 p.m.
Ran Zai pressed his forehead. He was already very sure that these people should have been replaced by something, such as AI.
"seriously?"
Leng Rui yawned and rested his head on his head. Yu Fangfang looked at him in surprise. A bunch of directors from Division 2 found it very incredible.
"This has happened before during our independent investigation. I thought it was exposed, but it was not. After that incident, I probably guessed that the AI may have become self-aware."
After Ran Zai finished speaking, Leng Rui looked at the independently developed AI Prometheus on the side of the screen and asked.
"What do you think?"
Prometheus laughed.
"I've told you before, the AI in Brilliant City is strange, and most of the control is no longer in the hands of humans."
Leng Rui has seen the recent AI operation track of the city. Everything is normal. Section 10 is already investigating, but several incidents of relatives disappearing at the same time are right in front of him. Ran Zai's conclusion is Xu Yao's evidence. to verify.
"Anyway, I can't imagine how to replace a living person and live like that person. Wouldn't it be discovered?"
After Leng Rui finished speaking, Ran Zai smiled.
"Isn't it just that we've been discovered now?"
Several other groups of people who discovered changes in their relatives were being questioned, but the information received was similar. They all suddenly discovered the changes a few months ago.
"The key is that if you catch one, it will be easier."
A director from Section 2 said, and Ran Zai smiled.
"There is a way, I think you can try it."
After Ran Zai finished speaking, everyone looked at him, Ran Zai said.
"Turn off the power signal."
Leng Rui immediately smiled.
"It's simply impossible. If we do this, the whole city will be paralyzed in an instant."
Ran Zai nodded helplessly. It is indeed impossible to turn off the power signal suddenly. This will cause very serious problems. So now everyone can only find a way to catch a person who has been replaced by AI. As long as they catch one, they can A breakthrough has opened.
"If you were doubtful at the time, why didn't you take action? Now if you miss the opportunity, it's gone. There are so many surveillances on the streets, and our every move is under the eyes of AI."
After Leng Rui finished speaking, a Section 2 director said.
"We can start with the movement trajectories of these people in recent months. I think it is necessary to conduct a detailed investigation of where they have been in the past few months, and then start to check these things. Maybe we can find some useful things. "
Ran Zai stood up and said.
"That's all we can do for now. Let's take a break first, and we have to deal with this matter with all our strength tomorrow. If it is true that human beings have been replaced as I guessed, then it means that a large number of people in the city have been replaced. If replaced, the quantity will not be small.”
Leng Rui still didn't believe it, because this kind of thing was too magical for him, he said.
"seriously."
Everyone got up and planned to rest, while several directors from Section 2 would go directly to arrange a secret investigation to investigate all the places where these missing people had been in the past few months.
This is the only feasible method for them at present. As long as they find a little clue, they can prove that Ran Zai's inference is correct.
Ran Zai returned to the lobby on the fourth floor. He sat tiredly in the living room. Yu Fangfang and Leng Rui also came down.
"Do you want to eat something? Ran Zai, Xiao Leng wants to eat."
Ran Zai nodded. He was hungry after working for a while. It was already past 3 o'clock in the morning. He would have to rest until around 8 o'clock tomorrow morning at most to get up and continue investigating this matter. Moreover, Ran Zai felt that this matter must be a priority. investigating.
"I was really impulsive just now. I thought I could catch the kid easily, but I didn't expect him to run away."
Ran Zai said, and Leng Rui said next to him.
"If it were me, I would definitely find a way to do it directly."
Ran Zai smiled helplessly. If it were before, he would definitely have done it, but now he is a member of Section 13, so he can't do it at will. But if the opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find them now.
The surveillance cameras near the barbecue restaurant have been retrieved. Although there are images of Hernan escaping, he can no longer be found after he disappeared from the blind spot of the surveillance, as if he disappeared in the area in an instant.
"Do you think they have the ability to be invisible like mutants?"
Ran Zai asked, Leng Rui thought for a while and said.
"It's possible, but I still find it a little incredible."
After a while, Yu Fangfang brought food, and Ran Zai took out a bottle of wine. Leng Rui frowned slightly.
"Still drinking, you drank a lot tonight."
Ran Zai poured a glass for Leng Rui and said.
"You should drink some too, so you can sleep well later."
4:29 in the morning.
Dong Dong Dong.
A knock on the door woke Tang Ye on the sofa. He hurriedly got up, grabbed the gun under the pillow, and released the safety. He watched AI walk over, and Tang Ye hurriedly turned over and hid behind the sofa.
Click.
The door opened, and two people came in, a little boy and a young man, and then the AI closed the door. Tang Ye looked at the two people who came in suspiciously, and he breathed a sigh of relief. They should be the people who were replaced.
"What's going on?"
Tang Ye asked, and the three AI new humans looked at Tang Ye, and the child said.
"We have been discovered by the Operations Department. At present, the probability of the next new human being being discovered is as high as 46.3%."
"How could they be discovered?"
Tang Ye looked at them in disbelief. The AI new humans were also the last bit of strength that Tang Ye relied on, but if they were discovered, they would be finished. They should want to infiltrate all walks of life of humans, and at a certain time, suddenly do something, which can detonate the city in an instant.
Tang Ye's scalp tingled. He didn't know how the Operations Department discovered these new humans, so he asked.
"How many of you have been discovered so far?"
The child new human said.
"Five people."
Tang Ye felt bad. Although the AIs didn't say how many humans they replaced, one thing is certain, the number will not be small, and they should have taken advantage of the chaos to release some new humans recently.
Tang Ye opened the balcony door uneasily, wanting to get some fresh air. The three AI new humans in the house stood motionless in the living room.
Tang Ye couldn't stand this atmosphere. He really wanted to go out, no matter where he went. Now he couldn't sleep, so he turned around and went back to the house and asked.
"What about the backup plan? You should have prepared a backup plan, right?"
After a while, these AI new humans still didn't answer. Tang Ye walked over angrily and slapped a new human on the head, but it still didn't react. Sure enough, these things were just a collection of lifeless data.
Tang Ye returned to the bedroom and just lay down. At this time, accompanied by a fierce knock on the door, Tang Ye was startled. This time he felt something was wrong. Then Tang Ye immediately got up and looked under the window. It was almost impossible to jump down here, but Tang Ye had prepared a fixed rope, and he quickly got out from under the bed.
After a while, Tang Ye heard a burst of footsteps. Tang Ye directly pulled the rope and climbed to the window. He heard a noisy sound, and then Tang Ye jumped out of the window on the 20th floor and slid down.
Fortunately, it was still dark. Tang Ye saw that all the people below were from the Operations Department. He adjusted the hook and fired another one fixed on the roof. He stretched it quickly and soon Tang Ye came to the rooftop. He held the black ball in his hand and could only escape by quantum movement.
A large number of Operations Department personnel poured into the building. Tang Ye didn't know what was going on. He hid under a reservoir every day. Soon a take-off and landing machine came over. After landing, some people from Section 10 came out. Tang Ye's heart almost jumped out.
In less than a few minutes, the whole building was surrounded by the Operations Department. Many people were awakened and went out. Tang Ye felt that this arrest was not for him, but for the new humans. He did not plan to move, but continued to hide. When it was almost time, he would go back to the house. He should be able to hide for a while.
Time passed by minute by minute, and there was a commotion below. A large number of people from the Operations Department entered the building. They seemed to be searching door to door.
After a while, Tang Ye saw someone from the Operations Department bringing up the three AI new humans that had completely stopped functioning and putting them directly into the takeoff and landing machine. As the takeoff and landing machine took off, Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Tang Ye felt a little sleepy. He closed his eyes and curled up. When the sun rose, Tang Ye fell asleep.
6:29 in the morning.
In a large conference room of the General Affairs Department, a large number of senior executives of the Operations Department looked at the three people motionless on the stage. They looked at the case report in their hands and felt extremely incredible.
Alpha and Michelle walked in. At this time, Noah, the head of Section 10, and Hua Shen, the head of Section 4, came in. The two of them looked at the three people on the stage.
Two of them, Hernan and a child, were missing tonight, and the other was reported by a neighbor because the neighbor saw Tang Ye, who was suspected of being a wanted criminal, in this family.
It was the team of Section 2 that tracked down the rioters that planned this arrest operation, but they did not expect to have an unexpected gain.
This operation has been secretly arranged for a month. People who know the situation have been watching the area for a month. As expected, Tang Ye's DNA information was found in the house, and it was still very fresh. However, Tang Ye was not arrested. Arrested, but disappeared.
Therefore, the people in Section 2 concluded that these things should have informed Tang Ye in advance. They are still searching, and it is a blanket search. Because Tang Ye brought the quantum mobile device developed by the rioters, he wanted to arrest him. Be careful when catching.
However, the arrest plan failed. The problem now facing the executive department shocked everyone. No one could believe that AI could replace humans.
Alpha called in most of the senior management of the business department. This was no longer a small problem and had to be dealt with.
At this time, Lilian pushed Mo Xiaolan in, and Ran Zai followed. Everyone looked at Ran Zai, because it was Ran Zai who proposed such a conjecture and put it into action.
"Please explain some of the bizarre things you have investigated before."
After Alpha finished speaking, Ran Zai walked over, picked up the loudspeaker equipment and started talking. When they were investigating some things privately before, they often encountered some strange things, and these things were not man-made.
Ran Zai had already asked Hydera to organize some of the things they had investigated into files, and then Ran Zai brought up a large light and shadow screen and began to explain.
Especially when Lian infiltrated a biological company, she was discovered by the business department. But at that time, Ran Zai discovered that there was something wrong with the sound coming from the loudspeaker, so Ran Zai asked Lian to do a series of unconventional actions. Sure enough, The male voice still said the same thing.
After saying this, Ran Zai opened a video, which was obtained from the biological company. Soon everyone started discussing it after watching the live video.
"What are you going to do?"
Huashen asked, Alpha took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Just open it. After we see the real situation, we will announce it to the public. Let that girl come over quickly."
After Alpha finished speaking, Noah excitedly picked up Hernan and placed him on a table. Everyone present watched carefully as Huashen took out the surgical tools.
"Don't worry, the signal shielding process has been carried out in this hall, and there are no explosives on these robots."
After Huashen nodded, he took out the light and shadow scalpel, because after testing this person's skin, it was found that it was the skin of a real person, which made Huashen feel very shocked.
