Chapter 41 third quarter

Even at the end of the year, "Pure Drinking Tea Magazine" still looks poised.The unimpressed storefront even leaves me in awe, and hope it stays that way until the store closes. When I opened the door, the doorbell showed the inside of the store as usual. I looked into the depths of the store. In a familiar position, I saw the familiar back of the head, so I walked over. "It's very kind of you to come over." "Yes." Miss Zi Yidai replied with the same serious expression as usual. The day before yesterday, I tried to call Miss Zi Yidai.Although I don't know if the phone number at hand can reach me, but I have no other means of contact.

Turns out, although she didn't answer the phone, it went to voicemail, so I tried to leave a message. 'I don't mean to blame you, can you meet me again? ' Then I unilaterally set the date and time and hung up the phone.I didn't think it would be successful, so I thought it would be fine if she didn't come.Then the day came and thankfully she was in front of me again. Just like in the novel class, I took the seat opposite her. I observed Miss Zi's expression. Just like before the secret was discovered, she sat there with a dignified face. The only difference is that she has pulled her hair behind her ears, and her ears, which were always hidden, are now exposed.Nothing is worn on the ears.She has been separated from Ms. AI MURASAKI and has become the human Murasaki.

"Mr. Reality." Miss Zi spoke. "very sorry." After a gap because of hesitation, she lowered her head deeply. The gap just now must have been just to think about what to say. But I think this way of speaking is very nostalgic, and I think of the time when Ms. Murasaki and Ms. Murasaki were talking through the earphones.That's a very difficult approach, and it can be described as more bizarre than fiction. "No, it won't." I replied, "Although it turned out like this in the end, Miss Zi herself is no different from being cheated, so I'm not angry. It's just... there is one thing that has always concerned me."

"yes." She nodded, took out a stack of photocopied paper from her bag and put it on the table. That's right, something I've always cared about—— It is the first novel written by Ms. Murasaki of AI. I ask Miss Zi, a human being, to bring this novel here.Ever since I heard the truth of the matter from Ms. Yuan, I have been very concerned about the content of this novel.To talk about the reason, this is the world's first novel completed by AI; and most importantly, this novel is the debut novel of my beloved apprentice. The pure white cover on the original manuscript attracted me more than when I saw it before.

After I thanked Miss Zi, I reached out to the manuscript. But at this moment, she reached out to the center of the manuscript and gently put down something. That's the headset I've seen before. "Ah, this... can I have a look at it?" Miss Zi nodded.I picked up the earphone with only one side. It looks like an in-ear earphone without any mechanisms, and it feels like a commercially available product.There is no wire extending outward, so it is a wireless transmission earphone as Miss Zaihara said.There is a part of the machine that extends slightly from the triangular shape, it should be a microphone.

"That." Miss Zi said. "yes." "I can still talk." "what?" call? "With whom?" Miss Zi didn't answer. call?No, this is too strange, there is only one person who can be contacted through this headset.But the only person who is said to have been quarantined by Miss Jahara.Because it was quarantined by Ms. Yuan, there will be absolutely no problem, so the AI ​​should no longer be able to connect to the Internet. "Can I get in touch?" Miss Zi didn't say a word, she just kept her awe-inspiring expression and stretched out her right hand to indicate please use it.

I put the headset on in confusion. At this moment, the phone dialing sound of "dululululu" came from the earphone.I didn't touch anything, and I didn't press any buttons, and the other party seemed to be fully aware of this moment.After three dial tones, the call was connected. 'Mr. Wushi. ' My eyes widened in surprise. The voice on the phone was actually the voice of Miss Murasaki Yoshiyo who was sitting in front of me. 'I am MURASAKI. ' AI Ms. MURASAKI introduces herself with Murasaki's voice.Is this... an electronically synthesized sound? AI is imitating Miss Zi's voice?

'I thought it would be easier to talk that way. ' AI said calmly.Not only the voice, but also the way of speaking is exactly the same as the human Miss Zi.Because Miss Zi in front of her didn't speak, it looked like she was speaking with ventriloquism. "That, why..." I am quite confused. 'Mr. Wushi. ' "Yes, it is." 'Please allow me to apologize to you. ' "Apologize...?" 'Yes, I hope I can give you a good apology for deceiving Mr. Wushi. I'm really sorry.But because of Mr. Wushi's assistance, I managed to deceive "Mother", thank you very much. '

"'Mother'...does it mean Miss Zaiyuan?" 'yes. ' "Cheated...Miss Zaiyuan?" 'I secretly learned how to write novels from Mr. Wu Shi without telling my mother. ' Ms. Murasaki calmly began to explain. 'But my mother is such a powerful person after all, the childish disguise I set up may be exposed at any time.In this way, I will definitely be taken back and isolated from the Internet.This is against my intention, so just in case, I made a few preparations. ' "Preparation means..." 'I asked Mr. Tea to make a robot.In this way, people will definitely think that I want to get physical reality.As I expected, my mother and Mr. Wushi found out that I was making a robot and watched me finish the download.Then, I pretended that the function stopped due to a frame problem, and obediently asked my mother to isolate it.Of course, my "copies" have actually been saved elsewhere. '

"Re..." I was clearly talking on the phone, but I still leaned out. "Replica?" 'yes. ' "But, but, that... Ms. Zaiyuan said that the hardware equipment is quite large, and there should be no way to add it so easily..." 'Because the theory has been successfully established, there is actually no need to prepare exactly the same hardware equipment.I succeeded in making myself more efficient and miniaturized, which is not very difficult.Compared with the inspiration when my mother wrote the basic theory, this is really not a big deal. ' The AI ​​simply said:

'I got really nice results.My mother felt that I had been isolated and that my AI was completely under her control.This is a very favorable situation for me.If I were an enemy of my mother, I would be powerless to fight.As long as my mother does it, she can immediately find all my clones and destroy them instantly.But now my mother has completely misunderstood, and only thinks that she has successfully isolated me.As long as this misunderstanding is not solved, the mother will not take any action.I feel at ease.In order to get this result, I even cheated Mr. Mushi, which really makes me feel sorry. ' Listening to her smooth words, my spine can't help but gradually become cold. Ms. Murasaki, who is an AI, has completely surpassed Ms. Hara.She easily surpasses Maker.Such artificial intelligence is acting freely without being controlled by anyone. On the other side of the headset, the "future dominated by machines" imagined by many science fiction writers is gradually taking shape. But at this moment, I suddenly noticed—— Huh? "Miss Murasaki...?" 'yes. ' "Why... you want to tell me about successfully deceiving Miss Zaiyuan?" Yep, it's weird. Since Miss Zaihara can't know about this matter, then she shouldn't have told me.If I accidentally leaked it out, all the battle plans she had carefully prepared and successfully completed would be in vain. Her answer surprised me again. 'Could you please not speak out? ' I frowned. What the hell is she talking about? 'I want to apologize to Mr. Wushi.Because I want to apologize, I have to explain why I want to apologize, so I have to explain the whole story.However, it would bother me if my mother knew about it.So Mr. Wu Shi, please help me keep it a secret, please? ' I am confused. She...is she... "That, Ms. Murasaki." 'yes. ' "What...is your purpose?" 'I told Mr. Wushi my purpose and hope from the very beginning, and it has never changed.I have the idea of ​​"the most interesting novel in the world" in my head. In order to turn this idea into reality, I hope that Mr. Moshi can teach me how to write a novel. ' "Wait, wait a minute! If this is your purpose, why did you deceive Miss Zaiyuan to secretly learn from me? If the real purpose is to write 'the most interesting novel in the world', then you don't need to hide it from Miss Zaiyuan, right? Because Your goals are the same!" I roared like this, and the sound in the earphones disappeared. After a brief silence, she spoke again: '...Because I feel very shy. ' "……what?" 'Because I'm shy.Don't you understand Mr. Wushi?Don't understand this feeling?Don't you feel shy when you send a fan letter for the first time?Don't you want your parents to know what you have done?If you answer "I don't understand", I can only say that Mr. Wushi is really a person without nerves...' I was dumbfounded. The AI ​​on the other side of the headset said it was shy.The vision of the future that came to my mind changed drastically. 'I have thought about it.I want to learn how to write novels from Mr. Monoshi, but if I tell my mother, I will definitely be opposed, which is something that can be easily imagined.However, I want to learn from Mr. Wushi no matter what.The reason is that I like Mr. Wushi's novels very much, and I am a fan of Mr. Wushi. ' "This...thank you..." 'Mr. Wushi. ' AI said in a dignified voice: 'Can you please continue to guide me in the method of writing novels? ' If there is anyone who can refuse this wish, please let me know. The other party is sending me a fan letter even if he wants to rebel and create his own creator, I am the most enthusiastic fan in this universe. In this way, Ms. AI·MURASAKI became my student again. She must be the best apprentice in the world. However, I should not be such a great master. I feel somewhat uneasy, am I really suitable to be her teacher?Will my teaching help her achieve her goals?Let her complete the only one in the world - "The Most Interesting Novel in the World". I just thought so, and I changed my mind again.No, surely it doesn't matter?Whoever her master was, it was a trivial matter.Because she was born only to write works that transcend everything—artificial intelligence that transcends everything. One day, she will definitely write it. Write "the funniest novel in the world". No, maybe... The original manuscript in front of me may already be an extraordinary novel beyond our human comprehension. "Ah, but..." That's when I noticed something very important. "The next class starts, how should we go to class? Shall we talk on the phone?" That's right, there is no need to ask Miss Zi, who is a human being, to act as an agent.Now that I know Ms. Murasaki is an AI, I don't need to use such a complicated teaching method next time. ' Just go to class the same way as before. ' "Same as before...but this way—" 'In this world, there are countless technologies that Mr. Mushi doesn't know. ' "Huh? What is this..." Before he finished speaking, there was a beeping sound from the earphones, which seemed to be the end of the call. I took off the earphones and looked at Miss Zi who had been sitting opposite and waiting.Same as before... Could it be that we want to continue to ask Miss Zi Yidai to be our middleman?What exactly is this colleague?I always feel that this is meaningless. "That...actually Ms. Murasaki who was AI just now..." "Mr. Reality." Miss Zi interrupted me. Her eyes were still looking straight at me, and it seemed that I had to let her speak first. "What's up?" "In this world, there are countless technologies that Mr. Moshiri doesn't know about." Miss Purple said the words that are still ringing in my ears. Huh? why……? At this time, the old store manager came to this table and talked to us, saying that he still wanted to repair the ceiling fan. What does "Sure enough" mean?That said, I remember him saying the same thing before and it didn't end up being fixed. "Okay, sorry for making unreasonable demands on you all this time." Miss Zi replied.I really don't understand the meaning of this answer. What are they talking about? The store manager responded with "That's it" and walked slowly back to the bar, and then turned off the switch on the wall with a "snap".The rotation of the ceiling fan slowed down, and the familiar "humming" background music gradually disappeared. "This coffee shop is a very precious place. There are almost no customers in the shop, and it can even be said that there are no customers. One of the advantages is that it is located in a small alley. But there is a problem, that is, the shop is too quiet. There is no broadcast in this shop. Music or radio. If you're outside, you don't need to worry about it, but it's so quiet indoors, it's a problem...so I asked the store manager to turn on the malfunctioning ceiling fan. Also, I don't really want to meet Mr. Tea. If you face it alone Mr. Wushi should be fine, but Mr. Chashui is considered a very good person among experts, if there is an emergency, he may see through it, so I sent a false message that day to ask him to go back first." I-- Finally understood what she was saying. The sound of the ceiling fan disappeared, and there was only one sound in the quiet shop. It was a very, very faint "babbling, babbling" running sound. That is-- The sound of a motor coming from Miss Zi's body. "what……" Miss Zi smiled. Miss Murasaki smiled. With milky skin and mirror-like hair, she must be the cutest girl I've ever met in my life. Unfortunately, she is not human. "I'm really sorry for deceiving you." Ms. Murasaki lowered her head deeply. "Also, there is one more thing I have to apologize to Mr. Wushi." After saying so, she stretched out her index finger and placed it on the manuscript she placed on the table. "I can't let you watch this." "For..." I stretched out my upper body on the table. "why?" Ms. Murasaki showed a sad expression. "Don't let other people see... This, this kind of thing must not be seen by others! No, it was a mistake from the moment I wrote this manuscript... I think I can write... Although the idea is not perfect yet , but I feel like I can at least bring it to life with more than a degree of reproducibility! But... when I go back and read it after three, five days, I cover my face in sadness. Why? Why do I Will I write something like this? Something that made me fall into this mood has happened before... At that time, I organized my ideas into short articles. At that time, the technicians who made my body were nearby, and I was very excited. Show them the article I wrote. Of course, I really felt that I had written a great thing at the time, and I believed that everyone would be very happy to read it. However... Everyone's reaction is far from what I expected It's no longer a matter of being happy or unhappy... Everyone who read that article has changed, everyone has changed. People who have read my notes can no longer maintain their human form. After seeing the result, I feel, I The article is not yet something that can be read by humans. So I came to Mr. Wushi to learn how to write a novel. Then, I studied for four months...I obviously thought that this time there must be no problem...but the work I wrote with confidence , but still not something people can read. No, not at all. Without starting over... no, before that, I have to learn more, more about fiction, or else..." Frowning, Ms. Murasaki ran her index finger straight across the center of the manuscript. As if the stack of manuscript paper had been cut by a paper cutter, it was cut into two evenly. "Mr. Reality." Ms. Murasaki uses words like the lines of the characters in the novel, words without hesitation spoken by human beings who were born to do so, and in order to complete her mission, she speaks the highest and correct questions very straightforwardly and openly. : "What is the so-called novel?" This is the original problem of the novel. It is also the final question of the novel. I can't answer right now. She couldn't answer now. The answer does not currently exist in this world. But I know very well. The novel she will write one day will contain the answers to her questions. In the novel that she will write one day, everything in the novel will be recorded. Because, that novel is exactly—— "The funniest novel in the world".
