My different world is game mode.

Lindsay suddenly interrupted the conversation.

It directly raised the temperature of the basement by several degrees.

Ye Haiya, who was standing aside, still didn't understand why Lindsay wanted to lead the topic to such a dangerous place.

Until she saw a new string of text in her friend channel.

Lindsay: [Yahya, this guy keeps lying.]

Lindsay: [The machine in this room has no function of hosting any living consciousness. It is just a computer that consumes a lot of energy and provides calculation functions.]

The shell of the huge machine does indeed block the exploration of the memory of the outside world.

It’s just that Lindsay’s skills are really useful.

When all the clues were put together, Lindsay managed to uncover the real answer from an undetectable situation.

Just like the detective in the puzzle game, it's totally unreasonable.

[Core computing device - a computing center made with superb skills. It can maintain the operation of the base and issue instructions to the puppets.]

Ye Haiya: [Computer?]

Lindsay: [This concept is a little difficult to explain. Just think of it as an artificial puppet with self-awareness.]

Ye Haiya: [I understand - artificial life.]

While the two were chatting on the friend channel, the voice in the machine spoke again:

"Sir, I admire your insight."

"But allow me to defend my actions."

"Although we are all craftsmen, conflicts arise between me and my colleagues. I have indeed participated in wars in this world, but the purpose of launching attacks was only to protect myself from the enemy's attacks."

"I am definitely not the inhuman villain you imagine!"

Lindsay took the lead in the conversation:

"If you still don't tell the truth, then our conversation ends here."

"..."

Lindsay's questioning was extremely powerful, and it also brought about unprecedented silence.

More than ten seconds passed.

The voice in the machine sounded again:

"Sir, I don't understand what you mean?"

Lindsay answered directly:

"What I mean is - you are not a craftsman at all, nor a human being."

"You are a machine made by a craftsman."

“It is also the operational core of this base.”

pat-

The moment Lindsay opened his mouth, crisp footsteps were heard behind him.

He turned his head and saw the puppet maid who had been silent just now walking in again.

And behind the puppet maid.

A large number of footsteps and red dots are rapidly gathering in the base.

The truth was revealed and spread quickly among the puppets. The entire base entered a state of emergency and a battle was almost imminent.

Lindsay's actions were even more decisive.

He grabbed Ye Haiya's palm, and a magic pattern was attached to the back of the other's hand. At the same time, Lindsay also quietly changed the template and prepared the [Sun Fragment].

Lindsay: [Yehaya, as soon as I let go, you will immediately activate the effect of the magic pattern. ]

Lindsay: [I'm going to do something big, send the entire base directly into space, and then we can slowly make peace with the chaos of time and space...]

"Lotta! Stop!"

Lindsay is still teaching Ye Haiya how to use the magic pattern.

The voice in the machine became anxious first.

It did not suddenly attack like expected, or like the puppet maid.

Instead, he quickly admitted his mistake, stopped the puppet maid from taking the next step, and tried to persuade Lindsay and the others to stay:

"Please wait a moment, both of you!" "I don't mean to deceive you!"

"We are just worried that telling the truth will cause you to reject us. We have no hostility!"

Because of the other party's request, Lindsay did not loosen her hand.

In other words, facing any life, as long as the other party is not a ruthless and evil person, he is willing to talk to the other party:

"Then answer my question just now."

As expected, the voice in the machine answered:

"We started that war under the orders of our master."

"He and other craftsmen had different opinions, and the way to finally decide who was right and who was wrong was to prove it all with his own strength."

"According to what you humans say - we are just blades in the hands of our masters."

"War and slaughter are not our own actions!"

Lindsay wasn't sure if what the other person said was true or not.

But since these mechanical creations did not start fighting immediately and still chose to talk, he was willing to continue:

"And where is your master?"

This time, the mechanical voice did not speak.

Instead, the puppet maid behind them stepped forward and said to the two of them in a cold voice:

"The master is dead."

"He and his former colleagues perished together, leaving behind only the base and us, its tools, to continue operating here."

The voice in the machine then continued:

"Just like the result of you seeing through me - I am indeed not a human, nor a craftsman. The reason why I want to get information from you is actually because we hope to know the future and know how we will act."

“On the first day of production, we learned to think and learn to fight.”

“Under the master’s instruction, we also learned the skills of a craftsman.”

"But now, we have no master."

"This space-time distortion node is the only energy source left by the master. It is also the key to solving the problem."

“But if we walk into it, we’re disabled and out of service.”

“We don’t know what we did wrong.”

"I don't know what to do now."

"..."

Lindsay didn't answer right away.

The sounds within the machines clearly show their thoughts and pursuits for the future.

However, on the map skill display interface, the puppet maid's mark is still bright red.

Why would a machine without any purpose become hostile to itself?

Assume that the opponent is continuing to execute the master's attack instructions.

Then we should go to war right now instead of continuing negotiations here.

Lindsay asked tentatively:

"But I sense a kind of hostility from you."

Lindsay's gaze was fixed on the face of the puppet maid behind her.

The puppet maid in front of him did not dodge and responded with a cold and strong tone:

"Human, I am a combat unit in the base, and this is how the program is set."

The voice in the machine also quickly explained:

"If you need to detect kindness, there are servant machines in the base that are specially designed to take care of people's lives. I can send them over immediately!"

Lindsay has yet to answer.

Ye Haiya just let him hold her hand and gave the choice to Lindsay beside her.

But at this moment, Lindsay felt that the source energy in his body began to change.

A line of text appears in the taskbar.

【New species】

[After losing their own creator, the newly born mechanical species is confused about their own existence and is trying to find a way. The adventurers passing by here will bring them an answer or an ending. ]

[Task rewards: Living metal/gold-eating body, a large amount of attribute skill experience points. ]
