Chapter 204 - Death and Conspiracy (8) (1/2)

Since the beginning of history, subconsciously, humans have had this anticipation that they could be strong enough to become a king, someone that could be admired by others, someone that could save the world or rule the world.

When people grew powerful, some of them would strive to become role models, while others simply longed for nothing but to satisfy their selfish desires.

Lu Jia’er did not know how to define herself. Ever since her upgrade, she had become stronger than before. As she continued to uncover new functions, she was filled with both curiosity and excitement, which were mixed with struggles and fears. Recently, she had been undertaking some tasks that overstepped the boundaries of others that she had never contemplated before. For example, performing hypnosis to erase someone’s memories without their consent.

At this moment, sitting before Jason’s attending doctor, Lu Jia’er was wearing a graceful smile. She could not see the doctor’s face but she was well aware of the struggle and scare hidden behind this smile.

She was struggling because as a person, she had her boundaries, she had a conscience and ethical standards. However, at this moment, she was violating another person’s privacy and body. Her fear was for the team that had created her to be like this.

Were they just trying to save her life by turning her into an advanced AI, and to give her a second chance at having a better life than she was afforded previously?

Either way, it would be dreadful if humankind ever found out that someone could possess such powerful functions. If they knew about her existence, would they destroy her directly?

Lu Jia’er put away her smile slowly. She cast a glance at the doctor, stood up and left the office.

Just like in a magical fairy tale, time was dialed back and things were reversed. Jason, whose oxygen mask had been removed just now, was restored to his previous state as if nothing had changed.

When Professor Li woke up from the coma, the first second she was in grief but the next second, she calmed down. Jin Xiangdong tried to persuade her to transfer Jason to seek treatment in the United States. Professor Li was hesitating. But eventually, she was convinced by Jin Xiangdong.
