商 Jianyao strode forward and said to a member of the robot guard:

"Look:

"You are human, and I am human too..."

Before he could finish, the blue light in the intelligent robot's eyes brightened.

This made Shang Jianyao's subsequent "reasoning" stuck in his throat, as if he was preparing to reconsider.

Just then, the intelligent robot uttered a sigh:

"You are the first carbon-based person I've met who is willing to admit that we intelligent beings are human."

As he spoke, he extended his right hand.

While Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and the others were a little stunned, Shang Jianyao "habitually" extended his right hand and grasped the cold, silver-black metal palm.

"You can come to me if you need anything in the future." The intelligent robot shook his hand vigorously a few times, "My name is Alpha Stuart."

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao agreed without hesitation, "From now on, we are friends."

"Yes, yes, yes, friends!" Alpha was very happy about this.

He made a friend without using "Reasoning Clown"? Jiang Baimian suddenly had the thought that this might be a hallucination.

"Confirmed, there are no problems." Shang Jianyao turned around and gave a serious conclusion.

As a precaution, Jiang Baimian spoke to the two humans following Alpha for a few more words to verify their identities.

After doing this, they handed the fortification layout to Alpha and the others, and drove slowly towards Tarnan while constantly confirming the road conditions.

...

8:30 a.m., Town Hall building, in a fairly large conference room.

Zhou Yue, Li Zhe, Mike, and other local leaders of various sects, along with Hunter Guild President Gu Bo, the Bai Xiaolin Tong team, the Qian Bai squad, and Robot Guard Captain Genaverra, gathered here to exchange their experiences.

This was to share experiences and seek inspiration for dealing with that "Higher Mindless."

Bai Xiao, whose half skull shimmered with metallic light, briefly recounted the experiences and discoveries made after entering the mountain on behalf of the team, causing Genaverra, who had already received the news, to sigh heavily again.

"May they all find peace." The mayor of Tarnan exclaimed, then turned to Jiang Baimian and the others, "It seems you encountered several hallucination effects over there?"

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly.

To be honest, she didn't quite understand Genaverra's grief and heaviness.

In her mind, intelligent robots wouldn't "die" so easily. Their main program or core module should have a backup. When the time came, they could find the parts, reassemble them, and be as good as new, without even having to wait eighteen years.

This was not a good time to study this issue. Jiang Baimian "Mm"ed and said:

"I'll keep it brief."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao had already opened his tactical backpack, taken out a blue and white megaphone, and handed it to her.

"..." Jiang Baimian didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"The sound quality here is very good, we don't need that." Genaverra stopped this behavior.

Most importantly, there were microphones on the conference table, but they were far from Jiang Baimian.

After Shang Jianyao put away the megaphone, Jiang Baimian adjusted her mood and described the hallucination experiences of "Fake Bai Xiao Team," "Death Experience," and "Jiang Xiaoyue's suicide."

She didn't mention Long Yuehong being affected by the hallucination, but used a fabricated similar case to explain the corresponding situation. Anyway, the purpose of this meeting was mainly to share experiences, so that others could understand the situation and prepare plans. It was not necessary to tell all the details completely and in detail.

As long as the goal could be achieved, it didn't matter whether the case was fabricated or not.

"Jiang Xiaoyue..." Bai Xiao, Lin Tong, Lei, and Zhang Shaopeng looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they had never heard the name before.

Jiang Baimian focused on Zhou Yue, but the Abbot of the Nanke Temple had a blank look on her face.

Obviously, she also didn't know why that "Higher Mindless" would create the hallucination of Jiang Xiaoyue's suicide.

Li Zhe, wearing a fiery red robe, and Mike, who was no longer wearing an apron, were the same.

Suddenly, Genaverra opened his mouth in a tone as if he was reading a script:

"Jiang Xiaoyue, a popular idol in the Zhen Country of the Old World, was hit by her career due to dating Cai Mingde, a middle-aged married tycoon, and committed suicide by jumping from her home..."

This... Long Yuehong and the others were stunned.

After Genaverra explained what an idol meant, the fastest to react was not Jiang Baimian, but Shang Jianyao. He clasped his hands together, refrained from applauding, and sighed:

"It really is a tragedy."

At this time, Jiang Baimian finally woke up:

"Mechanical Paradise" preserved a lot of electronic data from the Old World. Genaverra found the relevant information about Jiang Xiaoyue by searching through the built-in or wirelessly connected database.

In this case, they really know a lot... Jiang Baimian was immediately filled with anticipation for the "communication" with the Source Brain.

"It turned out that this really happened..." Zhou Yue couldn't help but sigh, "I thought this was the content of some drama in the Old World, which the 'Higher Mindless' just happened to have watched before getting sick."

Drama... Abbot Zhou, you and the landlady should have a common language. Maybe you can become good friends... The only problem is that you won't recognize this friend when you turn your head... While Jiang Baimian was muttering silently, Lin Tong of the Bai Xiao team frowned slightly and said:

"What does this have to do with that 'Higher Mindless'?"

"I don't know, there are too many possibilities." Genaverra replied honestly.

Jiang Baimian immediately added:

"Commander Genaverra, please print out all the information related to Jiang Xiaoyue after the meeting. We want to see if we can find useful information from it.

"If we can resolve the obsession of that 'Higher Mindless,' he might give up Tarnan."

"No problem." Genaverra moved his metal neck, "We will also do the corresponding data analysis."

"Give us a copy too." Bai Xiao followed.

Zhou Yue and others also successively indicated that they needed it.

After the previous exchange, they were all sure that the "Higher Mindless" had an abnormal obsession with Tarnan, and hoped to find clues from the various situations presented in the hallucination.

Genaverra agreed to all of them.

After Zhou Yue, Li Zhe, and others shared their experiences, Genaverra gave the final summary:

"The current strategy is still mainly defensive, not allowing the target to enter Tarnan, and waiting for the 'Mirage Dragon Sect' experts or our 'Mechanical Paradise' reinforcements to handle it."

"Dream Protector..." Zhou Yue corrected softly.

These are not experts.

Genaverra nodded:

"Yes, experts in dealing with hallucinations and dreams."

Zhou Yue heard this, and did not refute, "Mm"ed and said:

"It will arrive in at most three days."

Everywhere is illusion and dream, why be serious?

...

Dream Inn.

The "Old Task Force" slept until noon, ate something simple, and waited for a few auxiliary robots.

They turned their feet into wheels and transported piles and piles of data into Room 221.

"So much?" Jiang Baimian was a little surprised.

"Yes." The leading auxiliary robot said in a clear electronic synthesized voice, "Commander Genaverra has already removed duplicate data."

It feels like it's almost filling up the living room... Long Yuehong's first reaction was not that one idol from the Old World could have so much related information, but that it was too wasteful of paper.

On the Ashlands, except for a few places like Tarnan, paper is also a valuable resource, after all, it is not a key item to produce.

Shang Jianyao said with a face of grief:

"We forgot to tell Genaverra that we have computers."

The leading auxiliary robot was stunned:

"You should have said so earlier..."

"But even if we didn't say so, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to temporarily provide a few work computers, right?" Jiang Baimian asked, feeling both annoyed and amused.

The leading auxiliary robot immediately replied:

"What you asked for was printing, we are following your request."

"I just used the term habitually, you should have confirmed with us..." Jiang Baimian stopped before finishing.

This was because she understood one thing:

Why bother arguing with a few robots, what's the point of reasoning?

"We don't have this program." The leading auxiliary robot said, "If you need electronic data now, we can provide it."

"Okay." Jiang Baimian felt that it was more convenient to read with a computer, as she could search, compare, and annotate.

In the following time, the "Old Task Force" sometimes looked through the paper materials, and sometimes searched for electronic data, hoping to find valuable content from the various invalid idol information of the Old World.

While watching, Bai Chen suddenly said:

"Jiang Xiaoyue did not die."

Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and others cast their gazes over at the same time.

They were still studying Jiang Xiaoyue's early experiences.

"After she jumped off the building, she did not die on the spot. She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and became a vegetable." Bai Chen briefly described the news she saw.

Hearing this, Jiang Baimian typed a few words and retrieved the electronic data.

Soon, she saw a series of content:

"Jiang Xiaoyue's rescue failed, fearing she will become a vegetable"

"Attending doctor privately stated that Jiang Xiaoyue's chances of waking up are very small..."

"Jiang Xiaoyue's parents are seeking help from foreign medical institutions..."

"Three years asleep, can the former national wife wake up?"

"..."

While browsing, Jiang Baimian heard Long Yuehong exclaim:

"Such a beautiful girl, she actually became a vegetable."

Vegetable... Jiang Baimian frowned slightly, feeling a strange sense of familiarity for some reason.

At this time, Shang Jianyao asked:

"What happened later?"

"Can't you check..." Jiang Baimian replied subconsciously.

As she spoke, she began to look for Jiang Xiaoyue's final outcome, to see if she had successfully woken up or slowly died.

While searching, Jiang Baimian found a post, a suspected informal post for forum communication.

The content of this post was:

"Reliable news, reliable news, Jiang Xiaoyue's parents signed a voluntary agreement and transferred her to a hospital in the north to receive experimental treatment, hoping to awaken her..."

Voluntary agreement... a certain hospital... vegetable... experimental treatment... Jiang Baimian repeatedly read these keywords.

Suddenly, she stood up abruptly and said to Shang Jianyao and the others:

"You, do you still remember that medical record? The one recovered from the steel factory ruins!"

That medical record belonged to a woman named Fan Wensi. She "recently" always saw the figure of her son, and her son had long been killed in a car accident, became a vegetable, and was sent to the north as a volunteer to receive new treatment.

This is highly similar to Jiang Xiaoyue's situation!

The possible connection between the two made Jiang Baimian's body tremble slightly, and her scalp tingled.
