Episode 274

Artificial Intelligence Work (4)

Immediately after the treatment, I feel dazed. It feels like my soul has left my body for a moment.

Would it be comfortable if I let myself go like this? Wouldn’t there be no need to worry or be in pain?

That thought comes to me from time to time.

“… …What’s your name?”

The voice of the director, Yuhains, woke me up. He shined a light into my eyes.

I answered.

“Zion Ascal.”

“Where are you?”

“… … Samdol Hospital.”

“This is Sammul Hospital.”

Yuhains answered with a prickly tone. A sly smile escaped my lips.

“Do you have any friends?”

He asked about his friend.

Suddenly, several faces came to mind.

Yael, Soliet, Elise, Laye… … and.

Short black hair.

The only guy who knows my secret of having a ‘limited time’ and has been with me for quite some time.

Tay.

… … Where is that guy now?

I shook my head.

Shaking off the hazy vision and dark mind, I return to the world.

“Don’t you have any friends?”

He sat up and looked at Yuhains. Yuhains shrugged his shoulders in satisfaction.

“The operation was a success. At least two months were added.”

“I have a friend.”

I told Yuhanes.

“… … It definitely exists.”

He frowned and placed his hand on his temple. He tapped his head and looked back at Yuhains.

The guy’s face and voice came to mind clearly and latently. The days we spent together flashed before my eyes.

“Where did he go?”

“… …Him?”

“His name was Tae. He was a college friend-”

“There is no tumor in your brain.”

“… … .”

I saw Yuhains. Yuhains also saw me. My skull, to be exact.

Well, there’s no way this guy would know Tae.

“It’s nothing. Sometimes I feel a bit dizzy after the procedure.”

“… … It could be a symptom, so let’s check it out.”

Yuhanes wrote something on the chart.

“Yes. Thank you for your hard work. I’ll be going now.”

I got out of the hospital. As soon as I got in the car, I turned on the radio.

[… … We are announcing the results of the vote count.]

“What? The election is over?”

I couldn’t even vote. I turned on my smartphone while listening to the radio. I checked the election results right away.

[Member of Parliament: Gen Petra]

“hmm…….”

Gen Petra was elected to parliament, but surprisingly it was a close race with 54% of the vote.

[San Lamar District Council Member: Rudeniel]

The Rudeniel I worked on won with an overwhelming 68%.

[Gen Petra still denies the SNS revelations… … .]

I was quietly listening to the radio when I looked at my phone contacts. Swipe- swipe- I scrolled through the pages and leaned back in my chair.

“None.”

No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find the name ‘Tay’.

It’s so strange. I remember him, and my memories of being with him are so vivid.

Why does that name seem to not exist in this world?

“… … I don’t know~”

I grabbed the steering wheel, stepped on the accelerator, and headed out onto the road.

***

Libra Medical Center.

Jahanna is preparing for her health check-up in the VVIP ward there.

“hospital.”

“Yes. It’s called Sammul Hospital.”

In the meantime, I received a report from Balancer Bitro.

“It seems like it’s not just this time, but it’s been going there regularly.”

It is said that Zion Ascal visits the hospital regularly.

Jahanna thought for a moment, then her face distorted.

“It’s probably because of Zia.”

“… … Are you talking about Miss Zia?”

“okay.”

Jahanna said, hanging her coat on a hanger.

“She has been sick a lot since she was little.”

He was a pretty weak guy.

When I was a newborn, I felt like I would die even if I wasn’t killed, and when I was a toddler, I almost died from a cold.

“I guess I’ll be going to and from the hospital in place of Gia.”

Vitro nodded. Jahanna asked, loosening her tie.

“What kind of hospital was it?”

“This is Sammul Hospital.”

“Run by Professor Yuhains?”

“yes.”

Professor Yuhains is also well-known to Jahanna. He is a fairly prominent figure in this field.

“You found a good doctor.”

Just before Jahanna took off her shirt, Beatro turned around.

“That story is enough, what about work?”

“The territory of the magic space that was won has been established. We have succeeded in monopolizing all the yolk lands.”

Jahanna nodded. More than 90% of the success of this magic space was due to Zion Askar’s report and the network designed like a spider web.

Team Jahanna maneuvered while clearly observing the movements of their competitors, and as a result, they swallowed up more than half of the magic space.

“… … What happened to Beckman?”

Jahanna suddenly became curious about Beckman.

“I’m trapped in a spiral barrier. I should be dead by now.”

Because time flows slowly in the spiral barrier.

Of course, it’s something he did himself, but it’s also true that my heart feels dark for no reason.

“… … .”

However, even these feelings are strange to Jahanna.

Before I met ‘that guy’, there was nothing-

─Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door. It was probably the attending physician.

Vitro opened its doors.

“Are you ready for your health checkup?”

Jahanna looked at him.

Denilson. The director of Libra Medical Center, in his 70s and approaching old age. Not only Jahanna, but also Jedrick, Jade, and even Shaylock have received health checkups from him… … .

Suddenly, a mischievous thought occurred to Jahanna.

“no.”

She twisted the corner of her mouth as she looked at Denilson.

“I think I’d like to change my doctor.”

Denilson asked with a strange expression.

“… …Your attending physician?”

“okay.”

Jahanna raised her finger.

“Yuhains. From today on, I will make that professor my personal physician.”

What kind of illness does Jia suffer from, and what kind of conversation does she have with Sion Askar?

Jahanna was determined to find out for herself.

***

Meanwhile, in Jedrick’s capital mansion.

Jedrick stared at the TV screen with bloodshot eyes.

[Everett’s AI, IQ close to 100… … Commercialization on the verge of happening]

[Everett Stock Price Renewal – Artificial Intelligence Effect?]

Every day, there are news articles about dogshit. Bern’s fucking Everett is enjoying the greatest boom in history with artificial intelligence, and Jahanna is also getting only success news.

[Libra’s Jahanna Magic Space Auction Success… … Estimated Value 3 Billion Ren]

[Jahanna’s Libra Department Store, Many High-End Brands… … ]

“… …like a burr.”

As for Jedrick, he felt pressured. He wouldn’t admit it, but it was the kind of defeatism that was squeezing his throat as the days went by.

“Vito. How’s work going?”

He turned from the TV and saw a man. A grass-headed man was sitting in the corner of the office.

“Of course.”

Vito smiled and sat up.

“Okay. Here’s the result.”

A small tank was placed on Jedrick’s desk. Inside it, a spirit like paint was floating.

“This is the premium version. You can learn as Lord Jedrick wishes. Use it as your personal secretary.”

“… … learning?”

“Yes. Go ahead and talk to me.”

Jedrick glared at the tank. The AI ​​inside the tank showed no response.

“… …Can you hear me?”

Then, the soul inside the tank sparkled faintly.

─Yes, I can hear you.

The corner of Jedrick’s mouth trembled slightly. He looked at Vito again.

“Language has already been learned. It can process much higher-level thoughts and much faster than humans. Customers will line up even if it costs millions of renminbi each. It’s not like the garbage AI in Bern.”

“… … ”

Jedrick smiled silently. He leaned back in his chair, coughing leisurely.

“Even if you sell them for millions of renminbi each, there will be a line. There’s just one problem. The only people who don’t know anything about science are the parliament or the ethics group.”

Kill those who deserve to die, bleach their souls, and use them as artificial intelligence.

When he first heard of Vito’s plan, even Jedrick hesitated, but it was actually necessary for the advancement of humanity.

It is a necessary evil, not for Jedrick’s own safety, but for the good of all mankind.

“But, Vito. I heard that you recently hired a new researcher.”

“Yes. This is Dr. Killian. I have him by my side.”

“I told you to pick a researcher, I never told you to pick your adjutant.”

It’s sensitive internal information that even Jedrick would be worried about. If it were to leak out, even Libra would suffer a serious blow.

“Don’t worry. We’re keeping a close watch, and someone has already invented an AI like ours.”

“……hmm.”

Jedrick looked at the tank on the desk.

“Do you think so too?”

─Yes. I have also seen Dr. Killian at the research lab several times. He is a sincere person. He is also always with an artificial intelligence called ‘Deep Mind’ that he developed.

“I see.”

Jedrick raised his eyebrows at the all too human answer. He was quite satisfied.

Vito smiled happily.

“It will be ready for commercialization soon, so please wait a little bit.”

“Okay, then. Back off.”

Jedrick waved his hand. Vito backed away from Jedrick’s office.

***

Clear morning.

I am walking on the campus of a national university.

“Hwaaam──”

At the moment when I was yawning because I was sleepy.

“──Zion! Zion!”

I heard a voice calling my name from afar. I looked back.

“Zion──!”

It was Soliette. She came running towards me waving her hand.

“Why? What’s going on?”

This kind of fuss is not common for Soliet.

I asked worriedly, but Solliet smiled brightly.

“The server is open!”

“… … server?”

“Yes, that’s what I meant!”

“… … .”

I was dumbfounded for a moment.

“The server?”

“Yes. Bedundan has been incorporated into reality.”

“Who said that?”

“We~”

A hoarse voice flowed from behind me. I looked in that direction.

It was Sierin and Sieric of the Aventher family.

“Hello~”

“… … .”

Sierin waves at me, and Sieric pretends not to see me.

I asked Sierin.

“Is the server open?”

“Yeah. It’s open~”

Sierin came over to me, smiling like a queen. Then she whispered softly in my ear.

─You’re looking for the mastermind behind the nightmare?

“… … .”

I frowned. Sierin looked at me and shrugged.

“Why are you looking at me like that? We are the same. The Aventaher family is also a victim of the nightmare.”

Sierin looked at Soliet. Soliet looked at me. Then she nodded. As if Sierin was right.

“Let’s talk more about it at our guild house~ Come when you have time~”

“Yes. Zion. Me too first-”

I grabbed Soliet’s wrist. Soliet looked at me with a questioning expression.

“Why are you holding me back?

“If you want to play games, do your homework first.”

“……ah.”

Solliet’s face turned belatedly pitiful.

… … .

[Bethundun] was incorporated into reality. Elise heard the news, and she immediately started looking for a way to bring Bianca out.

You can use experience points.

In other words, if you spend some of the experience points required for leveling up, you can bring items, objects, or pets out of [Bedondon] or something like that.

Elise was happy to invest her experience in Bianca.

“… … Bianca.”

Matap, Elise’s private room.

She cried as she saw the black camel that appeared before her eyes – Bianca.

Too evenly spaced for a camel, the facial features are beautiful, and the hair is glossy black.

Bianca is right.

“Ankaya.”

Purur─

Bianca bit her lip, probably to show her happiness.

“Nice to meet you too.”

Elise had tears in her eyes.

“From now on, let’s stay together for a long time, sister… … .”

He hugged Bianca’s neck tightly.

The only reason Elise couldn’t give up on the boring Bedandon was Bianca.

This guy became a reality.

Elise sobbed for quite some time while holding Bianca in her arms.

… … .

Libra Medical Center, Outpatient Professor’s Clinic.

Yuhans looked at the woman standing before him.

“Your Majesty, Jahanna. According to the results of your health checkup, there is nothing wrong with your body.”

“I guess so.’

Then she raised her eyebrows, as if she had expected it.

Yuhanes asked her back.

“Are you experiencing any unusual symptoms?”

“No. Why do you ask that?”

“I heard you wanted to change your primary care physician.”

“that’s right.”

Jahanna nodded.

“Professor Yuhains. I would like you to be my personal physician.”

“… … Professor Denilson is better than me in every way.”

“It may have been like that in the past. But doesn’t the brain change as you get older? Director Denilson is too old.”

Jahanna snickered. Yuhans looked at her expressionlessly.

Jahanna’s face hardened for a moment.

“Why? Do you hate it?”

“That’s not it-”

“Of course you should. You are already in charge of other Libras besides me.”

Another Libra. Yuhans found that confusing, but he soon understood.

You’re probably talking about Zion Ascal.

“What about that guy?”

Jahanna asked in a subtle tone. Yuhans shook his head coldly.

“I cannot disclose the patient’s personal information.”

“… … I guess so. He must have a serious illness. Will he be able to live long?”

Yuhains looked at her quietly. Without saying a word, without changing his expression. It was as if he was determined not to give her even the slightest bit of information.

“Foot.”

Jahanna smiled.

“Okay. Anyway.”

She got up from her seat and looked down at Yuhanes.

“You are my personal physician from now on, so come visit me often.”

“Yes. Goodbye.”

Yuhans nodded. Jahanna snorted and left his office.

Step, step.

As I walked down the hallway of the hospital room, I stopped at a crossroads. A person emerged from the shadows.

It was her balancer.

“… … Professor Yuhains. He knows something about Zia, so carefully dig him up.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Jahanna doesn’t know exactly what Jia’s weakness is yet. However, Professor Yuhains will definitely know. If he finds out that weakness, even that bastard Zion won’t be able to escape.

“You brought this upon yourself.”

Jahanna has already made up her mind.

I was determined to take him away, even by force.
